I couldn't get it to open on my Windows PC with Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer, but it played on my iPhone.
My synopsis (feel free to correct or add to this; I only listened to the 40minute message once):
The text is Colossians 3. Here are verses 1-15 (ESV), relevant to the message:
1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your[a] life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
He started his message with a PSA about using the proper lenses to view the eclipse, then turned it into a metaphor, saying that when we look at the issues surrounding the Charlottesville protests/counter-protests/violence, we should be looking at them through the lens of the Gospel.
The gospel is presented to all, irrespective of race, ethnicity, heritage, social status, religious upbringing, [binary] gender, etc. We need to see each other as God sees us.
A faithful Christian is not racist.
We, as Christians, need to take a stand with the Gospel's viewpoint on issues.
(Brief point) Non-binary genders and sexual practise outside of man-woman marriage are
not things that the gospel treats the same way as race, ethnicity, etc.
He deliberately did NOT take a side in the Charlottesville dispute.
*******************
One thing that he could have mentioned but didn't, was the underlying sin motivating the combatants in Charlottesville: pride. Perhaps that's a sermon (or a sermon series) all on its own.
