The title of our sermon tonight is No Hope Without a New Heart, No Hope Without a New Heart, Judges chapter 2, verses 16 through 23. So we consider this text tonight. If you've spent any time at all reading your Bible, you've been at one time or another struck by the seemingly hopeless pattern of sin and apostasy in Israel. It is a seemingly hopeless, destitute, deplorable pattern. You can see that pattern repeated over and over again in the record of the Judges. Rebellion, retribution, repentance, rescue, relapse. And it's not simply that the pattern repeats itself, but that the pattern worsens and declines over time. The downward trend is scarred and marred by increasing faithlessness, increasing evil, increasing rebellion. Judges are their rebellious, their rebellion abounds, right? Not just that they're faithless, their faithlessness increases. Notice the language of verse 19, and it came to pass when the judge was dead that they reverted. But they didn't merely revert, they behaved even more corruptly than their fathers by following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. So what we see then in the self-destructive downward death spiral of their own sin is almost continuously wrecked by, they're almost continuously wrecked by, is the hopelessness of the human condition, the hopelessness of the human heart apart from a sovereign work of Almighty God. We see the hopelessness that we are ensnared and entrapped in apart from a sovereign work of God. External reformation will not provide the change that we need. We can't be externally moral and expect to be right with God. We need an internal transformation. External pressure, external restraint, external effort, external forces can only go so far in reforming us. It can only produce an external change. It can only produce external morality, and external formalism, and external ritualism, and external result. It can only whitewash the outside of what is already a tomb. We need internal spiritual renewal. We need internal transformation. We need to be made a new creation. We need a new heart. We need a new spirit within us. We need a transformed nature. We need to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. We need the law written on the very fabric of our heart. We need the grip of sin and death loosed from our life. We need God at work in us, willing and doing according to his good pleasure. We need a new covenant, a better covenant. We need a better way. We need to be remade. We don't merely need a moral makeover. We need a radical, miraculous, sovereign, supernatural act of holy compassion and holy violence by which God wrenches us from the power of sin and death and seats us in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Otherwise, without it, we remain in a hopeless bondage to sin, a death spiral. Every faculty of our being polluted by that which is offensive to God. That's our state apart from Christ. Every faculty of our being needing reformation, needing transformation. And we need this reality by the sovereign work of God and by the sovereign work of God alone. We see this lived out or experienced in the history of God's own people, the nation of Israel. This need comes to the forefront in their own history. It's as if God, through the nation of Israel, is painting a picture for us of how desperately we need this radical transformation, right? These things are written for our admonition. They're our examples. God enters into covenant with them and what do they do? They break the covenant. The Lord gives them his law and what do they do? They rebel against his law. He warns them of judgment and they sin with impunity. He graciously provides for them and they spurn his goodness. They spurn his compassion. He sends them judges and they refuse to hear them. He calls them to repentance and they refuse to turn. This is the human heart. This is your heart. This is my heart apart from a sovereign work of God. This is the human condition. Notice in this, notice that these are not like the Canaanites. These are the Israelites, God's covenant people who are behaving this way. The Canaanites are entirely without him, right? These are those who have not merely sinned against God. They've sinned against God's grace. They've sinned against God's provision. They've sinned against God's gracious covenant. The Israelites are sinning not just like the Canaanites. The Israelites in effect are worse. They're sinning against grace. As we'll see in the text, it's through their seeming hopelessness that we are directed then to place our hope where hope belongs. Our hope must be placed in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our text begins with very good reason to hope in verse 16. Look at verse 16 with me. Nevertheless, despite their sin, despite their rebellion, despite the fact that they've turned from God, turned from obeying him, nevertheless, verse 16, the Lord raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those who plundered them. If you remember from verse 11, the next generation, the children of the inheritance generation sinned against God and they served the bales. So in verse 14, then, God delivered them into the hands of the plunderers. He sold them into the hands of their enemies. Verse 15, the Lord set himself against them for calamity. And then in verse 16, now, a gracious, merciful, hope-filled, purpose-filled, nevertheless, that begins that verse, right? Thank you, Lord, for nevertheless. No hint of prior repentance. Notice their actions here don't warrant deliverance. But God steps in in verse 16 with a nevertheless. This is the sovereign intervention of divine mercy. God simply chooses to show them mercy. It wasn't because they were seeking so diligently after him, right? It wasn't because they were crying out, God, forgive us of our sins and that God responded with sending judges. No, there's just an intervention of nevertheless in verse 16. This is divine mercy. They weren't crying out to him. They weren't pitiable in their sin. God merely, in mercy, chose to insert in verse 16 and nevertheless. And so what does the Lord do? He raised up judges, Shafatim, their tribal warriors or tribal warlords who deliver them. These are warrior leaders that the Lord sends to the nation to deliver them from those who oppress them. And we'll look at how the Lord uses these tribal warlords when we get to chapter 3. But for now, in verse 16, consider the mercy of God. But consider the mercy of God, merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in mercy. The one who delivered them over to judgment for their sin, which was a righteous judgment, it's exactly what they deserved, is the one who now comes to them in compassion and delivers them from the righteous judgment that they rightly deserve, right? So in all of that, we consider that how then did the Israelites respond to God's display of mercy? Verse 17, yet they would not listen to their judges. It's almost shocking, isn't it? They would not listen to their judges, but they played the harlot with other gods bowed down to them. They turned quickly from the way in which their fathers walk in obeying the commandments of the Lord. They did not do so. So despite God's grace in raising up a savior, raising up a deliverer, despite God's patience, God's mercy, God's covenant faithfulness, the Israelites are described as responding here in three ways that display their depravity. Three ways. One, they refused to listen. They would not listen to their judges. The word order here is emphatic. The Lord is saying, even my judge, they refused to hear. I sent a judge to them. That judge delivers them and even that judge they refused to listen to. It's not that they couldn't hear him, right? The judge was preaching. It's not that they wouldn't hear them. They refused to heed what they were saying. They rejected what they were saying. They refused to listen, even to the judge who delivered them. There's a sense in which that if you consider the word order and consider what's being said, that that conveys how irrational and unreasonable and stubborn they were. They've been delivered from the oppressors who were oppressing them in the judgment that God had poured out on them. God sends a judge to deliver them and they refuse to listen to the judge. It is irrational. Listen, if you remain in your sin after hearing the good grace of the gospel preach to you, you are irrational to reject it. You are unreasonable to remain in your sin and keep plundering forward toward death. You are unreasonable. You are stubborn. The Lord graciously holds out an offer of salvation in his son. Turn from your sin and trust him alone. It is irrational. It is unreasonable. It is stubborn, hardhearted to stay in your sin. They, the Israelites, refused to listen. Secondly, it doesn't only say that in verse 17, they played the harlot with other gods. Notice in verse 17, it's not just that they committed adultery with other gods. You see that? It didn't just commit adultery. Their idolatry is characterized here as prostitution rather than merely adultery. They went whoring after other gods, right? Presumably for personal gain, multiple partners, that's what this is talking about, a habitual way of life, intentional, utterly, deplorably, disgustingly offensive betrayal to the Lord who had betrothed her to himself in love. And they whored after other gods, played the harlot. The Lord had warned them. If you remember the story from the golden calf at the mountain in Exodus 34, the Lord warned them at the mountain. Listen, don't play the harlot with foreign gods. When you enter the land, you go into the land of Canaan. Don't play the harlot with those gods of the Canaanites. And yet here they are. Here they are through the prophets Jeremiah, through Ezekiel, through Hosea. The Lord presses the limits of language and imagery to convey how horrific their betrayal against him was. Listen to this from Ezekiel, chapter 16, beginning in verse 30. Listen to the way the Lord describes their harlotry. Ezekiel, chapter 16, verse 30, he asks, how degenerate is your heart? It's more of an assertion, a statement of fact, and it is a question, right? How degenerate is your heart? It says the Lord God seeing that you do all these things, the deeds of a brazen harlot. What's the problem in verse 30? It's their degenerate heart, right? How degenerate is your heart? It's a heart problem. Idolatry, harlotry is a heart problem. Rebellion is a heart problem. Verse 31, you erected your shrine at the head of every road and built your high place in every street. In other words, you had intentions to practice your harlotry all over the place. Everywhere you had opportunity, everywhere you could.    It's amazing, isn't it? They played the harlot, but they didn't get paid for their services. They paid other lovers to play the harlot with them.  Therefore, you are the opposite. This is the bride of the Lord whoring after other lovers. It's amazing, isn't it? And not merely playing the harlot, but playing a brazen harlot, one so given over to this. This is this is the Holy Spirit authoring Scripture, describing the covenant people of God in this way. It's amazing, isn't it? They refused to listen to their judges. They played the harlot with other gods. Look at verse 17. They turned quickly from the way in which their fathers walked in obeying the Lord. They were zealous in their rebellion. They were fervent in their rejection of God. They were eager to get on with their sin. They wasted no time at all in forsaking the one who had delivered them. The one who had provided for them and the one who loved them, cared for them, directed them. Look at verse 18. And when the Lord raised up judges for them, the Lord was with the judge graciously, compassionately delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge because the Lord was moved to pity by their groaning over their sin. Is that what it says? No, the Lord was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed them and harassed them. The groaning in verse 18 is more about misery than it is about genuine repentance. I think with me about the mercy of God. Nevertheless, nevertheless, even though their groaning is more about misery and not so much about genuine repentance. Nevertheless, God has moved to compassion by their suffering. God takes action in pity for the sake of his people. He pities them and takes action. And bear in mind, the action here is entirely unwarranted. It's they weren't looking for it. It's entirely unwarranted. This is divine mercy. This is the intervention of divine mercy. This is for the sake of God's great name. This is the sake for the sake of his covenant with them for the sake of the fathers, not because they somehow earned it through a change in conduct. Right? They didn't earn it. What they had earned was judgment. What they had earned was the judgment that God had promised them, which was the exact judgment that God was now pouring out on them. What they didn't earn, what they didn't deserve was this display of divine mercy that he was showing them in verse 17, verse 18. So how did the Israelites respond to God's truly astonishing display of mercy, verse 19? And it came to pass then, when the judge was dead, that despite all this, right, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers by following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. And they did not cease from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. Now that is truly shocking, isn't it? It's, it's reasonable to be shocked by that, despite how good God was and how often God is good, right? The patience of God, the grace of God, the compassion of God. It's expected that we should be shocked by that. It is irrational, unreasonable that they would continue to conduct themselves this way. This is a picture. This is God painting a picture of the rebellion that is bound up in the heart of fallen man. This is what your heart, my heart is like, apart from a work of God. Those who reject the Lord and are lost, it's not merely that they are indifferent. They are God haters. Why? Because look at what God has done for them in grace and compassion, in kindness, in patience. Look at how God has provided for them. It's not merely that they are indifferent. They're irrational, unreasonable, rebellious and worthy of condemnation, right? It's shocking that we would respond to this way. They should have been moved to gratitude. They should have been moved to praise and worship when God delivered them. Instead, it says in verse 19, they reverted, they reverted and behaved even more corruptly.  That's the human condition. A rabid dog foaming at the mouth, biting the hand that feeds it. Natural, fallen, sinful man will not turn to the Lord.  It is not the case. Man's heart, apart from a work of grace, is irretrievably wicked, irretrievably deplorably rebellious. We need a work of God's grace. We need the Lord to intervene with grace and mercy. The natural man, that rabid, frothing dog, does not receive the things of the Spirit of God. They're foolishness to him, nor can he know them because they are spiritually discerned. We need to be cured of our rabies, right? We need to come to our senses. The only way that that happens is by a work of sovereign grace. As soon as the external restraint provided by the judge was removed, in other words, as soon as the restraining one was taken out of the way, there is a precipitous plummet back into sin. They reverted, behaved even more corruptly than their fathers before them. I think often when we consider the condition, the human condition, we're easily deceived by the fact that there are restraints on human conduct that are built in to this creation, right? There are there are external forces at work to restrain men. Even the law of God is an external restraint on the wicked to keep them from from being as sinful as they could be, right? There are external forces, external pressures, external restraints in place to keep us from being as sinful as we could be. We need a sovereign work of God's grace in the heart of man to transform us, to create us anew in order for us to be saved. As soon as the restraints are taken off, what do they do? They plummet back into their sin, reverting worse than their fathers, worse than they did before. In other words, they cannot keep themselves from slavery to sin. Peter says of false teachers, they have eyes which cannot cease from sin. They are given over to sin, right? Verse 19 says that they did not cease from their own doings. They did not cease. Modern day example of this, and I think it's an example from the lesser to the greater, modern day example of this might be the jailhouse confession. The jailhouse confession, a lost person in bondage to sin commits a crime that lands them in prison. While in prison, given time to consider their ways, the wreck they've made of their life. Paying the external temporal consequences for their sin, they profess to turn to Christ in repentance and faith, and they profess to be believers, they profess to be saved, right? While in prison with restraints on their behavior, restraints on their conduct, firmly in place, they seem to do well. They read their Bible, they got all kinds of time on their hand, on their hands, right? Not a lot of distractions in prison. They pray, they run well, other guys in the same boat. But what happens when they're released from prison and the restraints on their conduct are removed? Many, many, many revert and behave more corruptly than they did before they ever made a profession of faith. In reality, they never actually turned from their sin. They never actually turned from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. Some, many of them wind up back in prison again, restraints back in place. Once they're back in prison, we've seen it, right? The restraints are back in place. They go back to a seemingly credible profession of faith. And a moral life, they profess to be Christians. They profess to be following the Lord Jesus Christ. The frightening reality is that which is terrifying is that that is nothing more than moral reformation. It is exceedingly deceptive and exceedingly dangerous. You are merely whitewashing the outside of a tomb. Well, brother or sister, you have external restraints. If you come to a church like this, there are external restraints on your conduct, external restraints on your behavior. How is it? How is it that you know? If what you're doing is heart obedience to the Lord, a fruit of the spirit or is it merely whitewashing the outside of what is already a tomb? Is it moral reformation or is it spiritual transformation? Jesus said, when an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, finding none. He says, I will return to my house from which I came. When he comes, finds it swept and put in order. Then he goes, takes with him seven other spirits, more wicked than himself, they enter and dwell there. And the last date of that man is worse than the first. They revert and behave more corruptly than they did before, more corruptly than their fathers. Listen, we need a new heart. We need a new heart. We don't need merely our heart swept clean. We need a new heart. We need a spiritual, radical transformation. Moral reformation, a mere moral reformation without regeneration will result in eternal damnation, right? Moral reformation without regeneration will result in eternal damnation. Mere morality, apart from a new heart, apart from being born again, apart from genuine saving faith, is nothing more than works righteousness and it will not save. It won't save you. It will not save the inevitable. The initial picture is that of the Israelites in the wilderness, externally, overtly, absurdly immoral, right? But the inevitable historical illustration of this fact are the Pharisees or the Pharisees from overtly, the overtly immoral and idolatrous Israelites to the externally moral, religious, elitist Pharisees, right? Think about the extent of that spectrum from what we see these rabid dogs worshiping the gods of the Canaanites to Pharisees who only outside they prided themselves on being blameless, right? When that isn't what the Apostle Paul said, according to the law, I was blameless with the sinful idolatry, the sinful history of the nation under the judges as their backdrop with the sinful history of Israel under pagan kings as their motivation. The Pharisees demanded a strict morality, strict morality. They boasted in external conformity to the law of God. They boasted in being meticulously devoted to every jot and tittle of their legal tradition, the Apostle Paul, a Pharisee before his conversion to Christ, measuring himself according to the external adherence to the law and believe that he was blameless. They saw themselves as good people. They saw themselves as the best of people. We're the best, the Pharisees would say. We're the best seduced by religion, applying external pressure. They cleaned themselves up on the outside and they murdered the only one who could have made them truly righteous on the inside, right? They crucified their deliverer, the Savior that God had sent them. They crucified the ultimate judge. The owner of the vineyard said, I'll send them my son. I'll send my son. Surely they will listen to him after he had sent messenger after messenger after messenger, I'll send my son. What do they do? Said it's the air will kill him and take the vineyard for ourselves, right? They crucified the deliverer. They killed the one who dared to say that all their external formalism was an abomination to God. That's all that external, heartless, religious formalism is. It is an abomination to God. He said to them in Matthew chapter twenty three, verse twenty five. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of the cup and dish.  First, cleanse the inside of the cup and dish that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You are like white washed tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly.  Even so, you also outwardly appear righteous to men.  He calls them serpents, brood of vipers. How can you escape the condemnation of hell? You see the point, don't you? Right. We can see the point. This is the point of this experience of Israel in the period of the judges. The answer to immorality is not morality. Right. The answer to immorality is not morality.  The answer to immorality is not morality. We need Jesus Christ. We need the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. We must be born again in him. We don't need to stand before God with our own righteousness. We have none. The Lord is graciously pointing us to the very fact and the experience of our own sin before him that we need a new heart. We must be tested and tried so that we ourselves can see the waywardness of our own heart. Well, Lord does that for the Israelites. He does that for the Israelites. Look back in Judges chapter two and look at verse 20. He makes this point to the nation in Judges chapter two verse 20. Then the anger of the Lord after all this right after this after the way that they responded to him, the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. As it should be as it would be as God is righteous to be. Right. It's amazing. The anger of the Lord was hot against Israel and he said because this nation has transgressed my covenant, which I commanded their fathers and has not heeded my voice. I also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died. Why? Why? That's interesting to think about this because one of the consequences of their sin and rebellion against them, one of the consequences of their idolatry was that God wouldn't drive out the Israel or drive out the Canaanites from the land and they would become snares to the Israelites thorns in their sides. Right. That was one of the judgments that God poured out for their disobedience. But what does God say in verse 22? Why did he no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua had left so that through them I may test Israel? That's interesting, isn't it? Which is it? Which is the reason? Verse 22 said I may so that through them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the ways of the Lord to walk in them as their fathers kept them or not. Therefore, for that reason, the Lord left those nations without driving them out immediately, nor did he deliver them into the hand of Joshua. Now this is, listen, a stunning display of divine sovereignty. A stunning display of divine sovereignty. It's not either or, it's both. It's both. God intended all along to use the failure of Israel to drive out the Canaanites. He was going to use their failure to drive them out to accomplish his own plans and purposes to test the nation. Interesting, isn't it? God used the failure of Israel to drive out the Canaanites to accomplish his own plans and purposes to test them. Why was he going to test them? He's going to point them to their greatest need. Their greatest need. What they meant for evil, God meant plan directed to creed for good. God meant it for good. Was the test designed for God to find out if they would follow him or not? No, God's omniscient. God knows who needs to know. They need to know. Everyone who would follow after them needs to know. You and I reading this book together, that's what we need to know, right? God is omniscient. Isaiah says he declares the end from the beginning, from ancient times, things that are not yet done saying, my counsel shall stand. I will do all my pleasure. God is sovereign. God knows. The test results were for them and the test results are for us. These things are written for our admonition. What do the test results say? It says we have no righteousness. No righteousness whatsoever of our own. We need the righteousness of another. I need not mere deliverance from those that may oppress me. Contrary to liberation theology. I don't need mere deliverance from oppressors. I need deliverance from my own sin that is killing me, right? I need a new heart. I need a new nature. I need a new spirit within me. I need Jesus Christ, the one to whom all the judges point. That's the one I need. The warrior, sin and death conqueror. Jesus Christ, right? So knowing the hopeless condition of the human heart, God laments the state of his people and intervenes with grace and mercy. It's interesting that all along, all along, this is what the law points to, right? This is what the law points to. I want to show you that from Scripture. We don't have time to turn there. Just listen, listen for a moment, okay? Under the law. It was the purpose of the law. Paul says to be our tutor, to drive us to Christ, right? To drive us to our need for righteousness in him. Drive us to our need for a new heart. The law, even under the law, the Lord is directing us this way. Listen to this from Deuteronomy chapter 5. The second giving of the law, Deuteronomy. You've got the inheritance generation, right? Now about to go in to the land and possess the land that God had promised to give to their fathers. And the law is given again. There's a covenant renewal taking place. What does God say? Deuteronomy chapter 5 verse 29. Oh, that they, Israel, had such a heart in them that they would fear me and always keep all my commandments that it might be well with them and with their children forever. What was God desiring in his people a new heart? A heart in them that would fear God and always keep his commandments. That's what they needed. They didn't need external constraints. External constraints weren't going to work, quote unquote, right? They need a new heart. He reasons with them then in Deuteronomy chapter 10 verse 12. Listen to this in verse 12. And now Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? But to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways and to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. To keep the commandments of the Lord and his statutes which I command you today for your good. What do they need in order to be able to do that? They need a new heart. They need a new heart. How likely is it they're going to do that apart from a new heart? Entirely unlikely. It's not going to happen. Zero chance, right? They need a new heart. He says in verse 14, Indeed, heaven and the highest heavens belong to the Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it. The Lord delighted only in your fathers to love them and he chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples as it is this day. Therefore, because of all this that the Lord has done for you, therefore God says, Circumcise the foreskin of your heart and be stiff neck no longer. What is God telling them to do?  Get yourself a new heart. Circumcise the foreskin of your heart. You need a new heart, a new nature. For the Lord your God is God of gods and the Lord of lords. The external restraint of physical circumcision wasn't going to do what was necessary to deliver the people from their sin. They needed a heart transformation, right? After their failures in the wilderness, Moses warns them in Deuteronomy chapter 29 verse 2. Listen, he says, You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants into all this land. The great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs and those great wonders, yet Moses bewails their condition. He says, Yet the Lord has not given you a heart to perceive nor has he given you eyes to see and ears to hear to this very day. What does Moses say they need? They need a new heart. They need eyes to see. They need ears to hear. They need a heart to perceive. They need to be transformed, right? So the Lord himself then, gracious, merciful, slow to anger, abounding in mercy, promises them in Deuteronomy chapter 30 verse 5, Then the Lord your God will bring you into the land which your father has possessed and you shall possess it.  Where they fail at every single turn, God steps in in mercy and does what they need, gives them a new heart, right? Circumcises their heart. He commands them. Verse 10, this is the new covenant, right? This is the new covenant being prophesied here.  Listen to what he says. For this commandment, which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. It's not in heaven that you should say who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us that we may hear it and do it. Nor is it beyond the sea that you should say who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us that we may hear it and do it. But the word is very near you in your mouth and in your heart that you may do it. Does that sound familiar to you? Yeah, it sounds familiar to me too. That Paul picks up that very statement in Deuteronomy 30 and it's the very same word that Paul refers to in Romans chapter 10 verse 8 preaching the gospel. Paul shows us what the Lord means by what the Lord says in Deuteronomy 30 by quoting that passage in Romans chapter 10 verse 8 where Paul says, but what does the word say? What does the word say? The word is near you in your mouth and in your heart that is Paul says the word of faith which we preach. In other words, the message of the gospel was there all along intended, the scriptures intended to save them through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul says meaning verse 9 those words mean you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead you will be saved for with the heart one believes under righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation for the scripture says whoever believes on him will not be put to shame there is no distinction between Jew and Greek for the same Lord overall is rich to all who call upon him for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved amen all along all along that's what these lessons in judges are to teach us that's what we're to see it all points us to the one who is sent not to the righteous but to sinners in need of repentance not to call the righteous not to repentance we need a new heart in him we need the righteousness of Jesus Christ external morality is hopeless we must be made righteous through faith in him all praise, honor, and glory to the one who knew no sin and yet was made sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him let's pray Father in heaven thank you Lord for making provision for our sin thank you Lord that you have done exactly what we need exactly what we could not have done ourselves you have done it all in the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ sending him into the world to live a perfect sinless life to die a perfect sinless sacrifice that we might become the righteousness of God in him thank you Lord for saving us from our sin thank you Lord for continuously Lord even now pointing us away from our own strength pointing us away from seeking righteousness in our own efforts in our own works in pointing us to the one who is our righteousness the Lord Jesus Christ I pray Lord that there's anyone here that's not saved they would heed this testimony of ancient Israel they would see that they are hopeless apart from you they would turn from their sin to trust you alone for this great work of salvation Lord you would do that work for your own namesake thank you Lord for the church that you have delivered us to your people here pray Lord that you would continue to build her up protect her, provide for her mature her, sanctify her that we might be with all the saints adorned as a bride for her husband walking worthy of the calling with which we've been called worthy of you Lord and that we would with you the marriage supper of the Lamb dressed in the white linen of his righteousness for your glory we love you and thank you for this time together in Jesus' name, amen


Coach Dave McGinnis. Why is Terry Arnold at the top of the list? Very nuanced player. He's not a 4-3 guy, but the guy is sticky. He's in phase. He understands not only vision to the quarterback. He understands transition on throws. He's never hesitant. You can tell that he really understands and gets the game. He's really good at the catch point. Holds his water. Does it panic when the ball's over his head and he's in phase with the receiver? And I will say this. And I know he's retired, but you know, Nick Saban coaches the corners at Alabama. He coaches the corners at Alabama. And Nick Saban knows what he's doing. You can see it in the technical work. And we've got two Alabama corners, you know, in our top five. And I think that not only the physical ability, but they've learned the game at a really high level.


Hi, I'm Matthew Coast, head dating coach and founder at CommitmentConnection.com. And in today's video, we're going to talk about what a casual relationship means to a man. If this is the first time to our channel, make sure that you hit the subscribe button to get more videos on how to have the relationship that you've always wanted. One of the biggest situations that women come to me in is that they end up getting into a casual relationship with a guy. And next thing you know, they catch feelings and they're wondering why the guy isn't feeling the same thing or why he's not moving things forward and how she can kind of prod him or trick him or force him to create a committed relationship with her. And the reason that this happens is because fundamentally and from a big picture standpoint, a casual relationship means something completely different to a guy than it does to a woman. For a guy, there's really no risk there. It's like the lowest amount of risk with the greatest amount of reward. And for a woman, it's like the greatest amount of risk with the least amount of reward. As for a guy, guys are very good at kind of separating their physical and emotional brains from each other. So if he can get into, most guys can get into a sexual relationship and never feel like it's anything more than that. I know guys that have been in casual relationships for 12 years and never even had a thought in their mind that they'd want to take it anything deeper than just having a casual relationship. And usually the women that are in those relationships are like, yeah, maybe he really does see me as a girlfriend and he's just pretending like he's not because he's afraid or something like that. And that's usually not the case. It's usually that the woman catches these feelings and she's like, oh yeah, this is the guy for me now. And the guy is like, it's just a casual relationship. So for a guy, what you might want to think about is maybe the casual relationship long term means what it does to the woman initially, right? Like you see a guy and he's really hot and you're like, oh yeah, I just want to hook up or whatever. And that's kind of how the guy sees it forever. He just sees it like, hey, we're going to hook up and this is fun. It is possible, it is possible that a guy will catch feelings. It is possible to go from a casual friend with benefits relationship to a more serious type relationship, although it's not that common. It's much, much less common to do that than to just go straight to a relationship from the get-go. So the first thing that it means to a guy is that it's just this physical attraction that he has for you and that it means nothing more. And so the second point that I want to make here is that a casual relationship to a guy a lot of times means that you have voluntarily taking yourself out of any relationship possibility for him. So if a guy sees you and he's really attracted to you and you know, he's thinking maybe she's relationship material.  That's usually not how it works for most guys.  And really you become less valuable to a man.   It didn't, you know, people it might be cliche, but it, you know, people value things that are hard to get. And so the more he has to put in the more effort that he has to put in to get you, the more he'll value you on a surface level. There's also other types of value that I talk about in other videos and programs that I have, but just think about your value being how much a guy thinks of you as long term relationship material. So the more valuable you are to him, you know, and values not just determined by the amount of effort and investment that he puts in. It's determined by a lot of different things. It's determined by how you look.  There's a lot of different things that determine how valuable he sees you to his life and the more valuable, but the more valuable he sees you, the more he thinks of you as long term relationship material and the faster you jump into bed with him, the less likely he is to see you as that type of woman.

Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com coming at you with 2019, 2020, Panini Contenders Optic Basketball 10 box, pick your team number three from jaspyscasebrakes.com coming from a mess, a fresh master case as well. I've tried to put fresh and master, combine those words together. Big thanks to all of these folks who either picked their teams or won teams in our Chronicles pack breaks right here on a Thursday, between I gotta shake up that toner a little bit, try to stretch that toner. All right, so let's pop this open. I don't think that breaks quite sold out yet. Someone let PES know about filler breaks. Let's pop these inner cases open and we'll go one, two, three for the left inner case and four, five, six for the right one using that die right there. And it's two, one, two. So this side will be for pick your team four which already has a couple filler packs that we have to do and that'll sell it out pretty quickly. We should be able to knock this out, maybe even a couple more, couple more tonight, pretty easily. Now let's pop this guy open, kind of monsters we can find in here. All right, one autograph per box on average, a lot of other fun stuff that we're looking for in here. We have not seen a gold vinyl yet. Maybe this is the one, maybe today's the moment. We've got a randomizer up here. We've got Westbrook and Stefan Marbury, historic picks and they're both fourth overall. All right, so we'll randomize that at the end between the Thunder, Shawn Matic and the T-Wolves unless, no, that's Kim Zooming. All right, so we'll put that over here. We've got Uniformity, James Harden, Blue-Cracked Ice and behind Malik Beasley. Yeah, that guy, you know, skills is no good. He's got so many skills. He's got skills, I almost denied that. Well then yours is the hater. I just wish, I wish the Euro 2020 mascot was like a cartoon character, like an animal. There's Clay Thompson, 45 and a 99, just why make a human? This doesn't make sense. Kings, that Kings card goes to Wade and Clay goes to Shawn and Malik behind the base, Malik Beasley, not numbered is gonna be Bruno Fernando, rookie ticket autograph for the Atlanta Hawks going to Zoom in, who won that team and one of our filler breaks. All right, so there's a redemption on the bottom there. Any guesses on the redemption? There's All-Star, Aspirations, Chris Weber for the Kings. I think he's supposed to, I think he's a, Clay Thompson's supposed to come back healthy. There's winning ticket, Dwayne Wade. Which top loader is the best, Ultra Pro or BCW? I don't know, with the shortage of top loaders these days, the answer is whatever is available. There's Gorin Drogage, Silver for the Heat, that'll be for Mike Sommage. There's Davante Graham for Charlotte. That's gonna be for Eric and behind Netsch Kairi Irving, not numbered, just a base one. It's gonna be, bam, Anthony Davis, veteran ticket, that means the Lakers are gonna win tonight. Veteran ticket, orange, that has to be Lakers edition by now, right? Let's look at the checklist just to make sure. That's card number seven, by the way. Anthony Davis, card number seven is, is a Los Angeles Laker. There you go, suspense. Cooper, you're on the Nuggets plus six? Well, I don't know, judging from this card that we pulled, I think Anthony Davis is gonna have three, a seven, seven rebounds, at least, I have more rebounds than he did last time around. That's for sure. All right, Lakers, that's for Edwin, who won the Lakers in one of those filler breaks. Sometimes it works really nicely like that. Hey, there's Anthony Davis again. Eight blocks, I could use eight blocks from Anthony Davis tonight. Now win by seven, oh no, that's not what it means, Coop. All right, there's Bill Russell winning ticket, cracked ice, these are not numbered, but of course, everything ships it. And behind Blake Griffin, is Silver Ben Simmons for the Sixers, Sean Maddock, Red Devante Graham for Charlotte, that's Eric, not numbered. And behind Blake Griffin, it's gonna be Ty Jerome, rookie ticket auto for the Suns. Suns look excellent in the bubble. Eric got randomized to Suns. That's one 16 out of 149. That means the game will end in a tie, my tower is saying. Yeah, at what point does that happen? What if like everyone fouls out? Could that happen if it just kept going into multiple overtimes? At what point do you call a game? There's Zion, uniformity for the Pelicans, nice, Eric. Could that technically happen? Are there contingencies for that? My assumption is that refs would just stop calling fouls once each team is down to their last five players and they're on the court, right? And it kept going to overtime, after overtime, after overtime. There is Zach Levine, the high flying Zach Levine, Timberwolves edition. Behind Jaren Jackson, Jr. is DeAndre Aten, Silver for the Suns, Dahunta Murray, 54 out of 99 for the Spurs, that'll be for Andrew Adele. And behind Triple J is gonna be Trey Young. Nice, sophomore contenders autograph for Kim Soo Min, nice. There's the number right there to 125, 38 out of 125. That's pretty cool. Someone, I think it was Ryan S, or someone was saying, one of the Ryans were saying that Trey Young prices are really low right now. And he thought that was odd because they were like triple the price. I mean, which makes sense. A little out of sight, out of mind happening there, but I think if you believe in Trey Young, there's some by low opportunities on the secondary market. All right, there's Nikol Jokic, he's pretty good.  There's Kyrie Uniformity, Cracked Ice, Red Cracked Ice. They have different rules in the bubble than in real life. Are you suggesting there may be some sort of purge situation that could happen in the bubble? Mitchell Robinson, like just Lawless in the bubble. And for the Knicks, Sean Maddock, Andre Drummond, for the Cavs, that'll be for Richard. And behind Chris Paul is gonna be Grant Williams, rookie ticket autograph for the Celtics. The Celtics might be in a little bit of trouble. 15 out of 149. For Boston, that's gonna be for Marlon, one of his last spot mojo teams. All right, we've got Kobe White, lottery ticket. The Optic design here for the Bulls EA. There's Trey Young again. 50 points, Trey Young, yeah, he can shoot it for sure. There's Kawhi behind him is LeBron James Silver. Edwin with that one. Look that up, Edwin, I wouldn't be surprised if this goes for a lot of money. Let's go, LeBron. We need him to have a good performance tonight too. Tim Hardaway Jr., Dallas Mavericks, that'll be for Matt Silverstein. And behind Kawhi Leonard is gonna be a warrior, veteran ticket, on-card autograph, Steph Curry. Woo, we've been pulling a lot of Steph stuff recently. Couple nice Steph patches and opulence and an on-card Steph Curry autograph for Shawn Maddock who bought the Warriors straight up in this, that is really nice. And that is 11 out of 15 on that. There you go, Shawn Maddock and the Warriors. Steph Curry touched that card. Bill Russell, see you Kevin. Bill Russell, Marlon, Anthony Davis, Pelicans edition this time. This will be for Eric. There's Rudy Gay Silver for the Spurs, Andrew. Andre Drummond again for the Cavs. And the autograph behind Miles Bridges is a Celtic and it's gonna be Carson Edwards this time. All right, three boxes to go. We've got another redemption on the bottom. Any guesses on that redemption down there? 17 assist game for Ben Simmons, there you go. Sixers with that one. Kyle Lowry, winning ticket, cracked ice. Raptors, zoom in. Behind Miles Turner is a Silver Devante Grand for Charlotte, Eric. And Hassan Whiteside for the Trail Blazers. That's gonna be for Christopher P. We've got Cam Reddish being guest. Tyler Hero, Matisse Tybal, Admiral Schofield. It's gonna be a rookie season ticket gold autograph. First letter, B-O, bowl, bowl for the Denver Nuggets. And that will be, who's got Denver? Kim Soo Min with Denver. All right, two boxes to go. Second half is sold out, but it just needs those two filler breaks to happen. And we can do the second half of this break. Some pretty good stuff in here, folks. Don't sleep on the contenders optic. It's really nice. Front row seat, Joellen B. Sixers. DeAndre Hunter, Atlanta Hawks, zoom in. And behind Terry Rosear, we've got a Silver Nicola Vusevich, Orlando for Richard. Drew Holiday, season ticket blue for the Pelicans. That's gonna be for Eric, to 99. And behind Terry Rosear, all cards shared. Remember his rookie ticket autograph, Heldon Johnson, Spurs, Andrew, 13 out of 99. All right, and the final box, good luck. Well, redemption on the bottom, and he guesses on that redemption. Oh man, if Anthony Davis had 50 points tonight, that would be nice, there he is. Playing the numbers game 50 points, Anthony Davis, Lakers edition. Need the Lakers to win this one, Edwin. Let's go, Lakers. And we've got Tim Duncan for the Spurs. A lot of great battles between the Lakers and the Spurs. Back in the day. Chris Paul reveals a Silver, DeMonta Sabonis, and reveals a Kate Middleton, a Chris Middleton. Not Kate Middleton, Marlon. What if Kate Middleton was in here? But Zion Terry says no LA. No, no, no. He's not even in the playoffs. That doesn't even count. Rookie variation season ticket blue. B, maybe bowl ball again, bowl ball. All right. Second one for you though, zoom in. Good for zoom in. I was hoping that there may be, maybe someone else would have a crack at one of those redemptions, but a good break for the Denver Nuggets. And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, gotta do a quick little randomizer here. Remember, second half is, just needs a couple of filler breaks to unlock. So make that happen. All right, so let's flip to this list right here. So we got Russ OKC, Stephon Marbury, Minnesota Timberwolves. He was drafted by the Timberwolves. Let's roll it, let's randomize it seven times. Two and a five, team on top after seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seventh and final time. Goes to OKC after seven. That will be Sean Amatic and the Oklahoma City Thunder. So you'll get this card right here. And there you go. Thanks for watching, everyone. I'm Joe for jazby's casebreaks.com. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.

That was a life changing experience. You were right. Um, I I can't wait to see more. I really can't thank you for joining me today on my very first reaction ever to bleach and um Happy April Fools


What's going on everybody? Welcome to Vandal Hurry Up. I am Greg Suspin for the first time in a while. I'm joined by Tom Vecchio, Vandal. What's happening, Tom? I'm good. You know, we had NASCAR and GALF and UFC taking the spotlight for a while, but, you know, NFL coming back, NBA, NHL. Time to hop back in. Absolutely. The NFL, if all things go well, training camp is now less than a month away. It's July 1st, people. So let's get into a little NFL draft fantasy football style. As we're talking about the players that right now, in early drafts, have an ADP of over 100. These are guys that you can get, well, for basically a cost of nothing. So let's get into it, Tom. And let's begin with a player with an ADP of 108 according to fantasy football calculator. And that is Emmanuel Sanders, who is a really good fit in New Orleans. Emmanuel Sanders is looking great. An ADP of 108, like you said. And, you know, there's a lot of factors that go into it. First of all, the Saints play in higher scoring games. We know that in the dome, the course field of the NFL. And really, there's a big difference between Michael Thomas, their number one ride receiver, arguably the best in the league, and then everyone else on their team. They've been lacking that wide receiver, too. Really, over the past few seasons, Ted Ginn, Trey Kwan Smith. You know, Alan Khmer had a bit of a down year, but when you look at the production from Michael Thomas to everyone else, the gap is massive. And there's an opportunity there for Manny Sanders. We have Michael Thomas last year leading the team in targets, yards, receptions, tied for touchdowns. Get 185 targets, Khmer was second with 97. Get 149 receptions, and Khmer was second with 81. So there is a big gap where Manny Sanders can fit in there, get downfield, open up the offense, and just basically racking the fantasy points with an ADP of 108 right now. So really like him in this spot this year. Manny Sanders was traded midway through last season, headed over to San Francisco. And remember, this was his year coming back from that major Achilles' tear. Now, totally healthy, playing with Drew Brees in a dome? Yeah, I like our odds here with New Orleans' Manny Sanders, especially with an ADP sitting at 108. Let's move on to player whose ADP is 111. And that is Matthew Stafford, who I feel like people kind of forget that first half last year, Tom. Matthew Stafford was really, really good. And now he's back. His back is healthy, and he could be a steal here at ADP 111. Yeah, like you said, that first half of the year, Hewlin played in eight games, 200, you know, 2,500 yards, 2,499 yards, we're going to be exact. He had 19 touchdowns through eight games, was averaging over 300 yards a game on pace for career highs. If he stayed on that pace, he would have finished second in the league in total passing yards and second in touchdowns. Obviously, that's just on pace, if he stayed healthy, et cetera, et cetera. But we know that Detroit doesn't have the best defense. They're going to be playing from behind in most scenarios. And their offense is pretty solid. We know that they have Galaday, they're number one wide receiver. We have to work with the backfield, them drafting Swift. They still carry on Johnson, but they have the kind of, you know, ancillary parts with Marvin Jones, Danny Mandola, TJ Hawkinson, where they have the parts around him. And as long as Stafford stays healthy, like we're getting a really solid late round quarterback after you've loaded up on receivers, after you pick those running backs, bringing a ton of value and a ton of upside. The pieces are there from Matthew Stafford have a really nice year. And I think what's really cool is that you don't even need him to be better than he was last year. You just need him to do what he did last year and stay healthy. Hopefully that's exactly what he accomplishes here in 2020 when you grab a quarterback league. Make it Matthew Stafford. Next, we'll move to ADP 118. And that's Darryl Henderson. And this is an interesting one because I've talked with Jim Stiles a lot about what's going on with the Los Angeles Rams and you have a running back they drafted. You have Malcolm Brown, you have Darryl Henderson. You like Henderson here at 118. How come? So like you said, there's, you know, a lot of talk about the Rams backfield, girly gone, the three running backs. They drafted can makers this past year. They drafted Henderson two years ago. And it's just totally unclear right now. And we get that. And, you know, this is the kind of situation where we want to like check in, where was he June? Where was he, you know, July 1st today? Where is he going to be on August 1st? If there's any trends, because if you can jump on board now, knowing that he wins the job, that would be awesome. We want to look back to actually when he was drafted coming out of Memphis. He averaged 8.9 yards per carry in his last two seasons at Memphis. I mean, he is a really, really solid runner now.  I want to kind of side with the guy that at least has shown some capability was somewhat of a high prospect coming out of college. And given the fact that this backfield is completely unclear, you know, he's up there with having, you know, more experience than can makers obviously, not as much as Malcolm Brown in terms of total NFL, you know, games played, but he's a true running back that the Rams really need to rely on this season. The short off season is going to be tough for rookies to adjust. And Darryl Henderson does have a year in Sean McBabe's system and we'll see what he has. Malcolm Brown's the guy I'm targeting in this spot because you get him late. You mentioned that experience factor. I think Malcolm Brown, Darryl Henderson, both these guys have some value, late in drafts. Up next, any of you 139, this is a guy I love. It's Preston Williams, who again, you just need him to stay healthy. He impressed us last summer in the preseason and got also a really nice start with Miami Dolphins. Well, then he got hurt, but if he's healthy with Ryan Fitzpatrick in trench war two attack on my low, as the quarterback, kind of like what you're getting at the Dolphins number two wide receiver. Absolutely.  It was averaging 7.5 targets per game, over 50 yards per game, only play the eight. You know, this is a player I like in, you know, dynasty here, if you're in dynasty league or some type of keeper league, like this is a player I want to jump on early. They drafted to whether he starts the first game or not, or any games this season. You know, he's there for the future. They drafted three offensive linemen, you know, in the draft. So they have a new quarterback. They have, you know, the protection around him. You're getting a young wide receiver ready to develop. And best of all, he's basically free in the 12th round. ADP 139 right now, like jump on board with Preston Williams this year. Like we said, for a while from the Dolphins last summer, Preston Williams jumped on everybody's radar. They got up that heart's hot start before tearing his ACL. We know Ryan Fitzpatrick is a gunner. And yeah, Devonte Parker finally broke out here in year five, but Preston Williams was the guy that everybody was all over. And now basically free. Yeah. We'll take our chances here. Preston Williams late. Let's move on to another wide receiver that was good most of last year. It's John Brown, who's costing me nothing at pick 145. I know everybody's all over Stefan Diggs with the Buffalo Bills, but John Brown for a lot of last season was Josh Allen's favorite target. We know about Brown's speed. We know about Allen's ability to throw the deep ball. This connection was good last year. Why wouldn't it be good again? So for the Bills, adding Steph Diggs is certainly something we need to pay attention to. Who is he gonna be taking targets away from? But if we look back to two years ago when he was with Minnesota, obviously, he posted over 1,000 yards and so did Adam Thiele. So it's not as if Diggs can't be in offense where another receiver isn't able to be productive. We look at last season stats and we see that John Brown posted over 1,000 receiving yards. He was one of 25 wide receivers to do so. Right now, he is being drafted as wide receiver 55 with an ADP of 145 overall. Now, could we expect some of the stats to regress, of course, with the addition of Diggs, but it's not as if we're looking for him to overshadow Diggs and be better than him. We're getting him an ADP 145. So by the time you're drafting him or looking to draft him, you have the core of your lineup set. You have those top tier receivers and running backs. This is the guy that's situationally very good. They play the Dolphins twice a year. This is a player that I wanna be adding as a fourth receiver on my team and is free in drafts of 145. When you're looking for those depth pieces, look no further than Smokey Brown at 145. Like Tom said, most of your roster is set by the time you're drafting Brown, but somebody that you can put it in your flex spot using the bi-week replacement, John Brown's gonna have his games, especially given the schedule where you're playing the Dolphins twice for instance, you have some of these other teams where they're secondary, it is just not good. John Brown can take advantage and you're absolutely right with Step On Diggs with Adam Thielen, leaves plenty of room for John Brown to still get his in 2020. One last player we wanna mention before we wrap up and that is at pick 168. It's tight end Jannu Smith for the Tennessee Titans. The Lady Walker, he's gone, he's still a free agent which makes John Jannu Smith the man that is finally going to start at tight end. We've been calling Jannu Smith to really break out for years now. Now there's nobody standing in his way. Exactly, we have to look back to last season. We can look forward to this season. At the end of last year, he finished his tight end 20 and that's not really moving the needle for a lot of people, but there's a lot to take in. In the first seven games of the year, the Lady Walker was healthy. He played all those games, then he got hurt, season was over. In that time, Smith only had six receptions for under 100 yards. So that's not really what we wanna look at, but the fact that he finished his tight end 20 in half a season basically of production is something that we actually wanna be buying into. We have to factor in that Tennessee is gonna be running the ball for the most part as the core of their offense, but really after the running game, when we look at the passing for Tennessee, it's AJ Brown and then who? Corg Davis, I'm not getting sucked into that trap again. Adam Humphries as their number two or number three wide receiver. Like there's an opportunity in this offense for passing when AJ Brown is not the number one option or when he's covered or when he has a bad match. And I think John Smith is that player considering he had pretty damn good production for half a season last year. I've been Delaney Walker a truth or forever. There was always value with him in Tennessee and especially as he got older, no one was really interested anymore. I feel the same way about John New Smith.  Corg Davis, let's not do that again. And Derek Henry is not going to catch the football, which is going to leave a lot of targets available for John New Smith. And I think we're going to take advantage here with Ryan Tannehill. I really love John New Smith, especially at a price to cost you nothing. You can just load up on those running backs and wide receivers and then grab a late tight end like Smith and ride out your team. That's going to do it for us here on the Fandall. Hurry up, Tom. I'm excited to start drafting, man. I know we got Scott's fishbowl next week and then the real fantasy football season kicks off. I'm pumped, man. Yeah, it's going to be a good year. Let's just hopefully we get a full 16 games. Absolutely. A full 16 games in the NFL. We got a full 60 games in baseball. Let's just hope it all works out. For Tom Deccito, I am Greg Sussman. Thanks so much for checking out the Fandall. Hurry up and we'll see you next week. Stay safe, everybody.
