00:07 ♪♪ 00:14 Doug Batchelor: Through the sin of Adam we've all got big 00:17 problems. 00:18 We're tempted, we fall, we sin, but through the sacrifice 00:21 and the victory of Jesus we can be born again, adopted 00:26 into a new family that has life instead of death. 00:31 ♪♪ 00:35 Doug: You know one of the most popular websites and it's also 00:38 become a billion dollar business right now is ancestry.com. 00:44 It's the world's largest online collection of family history 00:47 records and they got three million subscribers. 00:53 There's other knock offs that do varying types of this where 00:57 people can kind of track their ancestry. 01:01 You know, I don't know why but as I've gotten a little 01:03 older I've been a little more interested in that. 01:06 About a year ago, Karen got me ancestry.com test. 01:13 I was always interested because my dad said, "Yeah, we're part 01:16 Indian. 01:18 We're part American-Indian." 01:19 And I always told everybody all my life. 01:22 Yep, I even, you know, my uncle lived with the Navajos. 01:25 I lived on the reservation. 01:27 I used to tell 'em, Yeah, I tried to figure it out when he 01:29 said it was a grandma was a Cherokee. 01:31 And so, Karen got me this DNA tests. 01:33 I couldn't wait to see the results how much Indian I 01:36 was and came back. 01:39 Took six weeks after spitting in a bottle to get the report 01:42 back. 01:44 And I have no Indian at all. 01:48 And my father and his brothers, they've told me all my life. 01:52 I didn't make it up. 01:54 You can ask Karen. 01:55 She talked to my uncles. 01:56 Yeah, yeah, Cherokee. 01:58 'Cause everybody says that, don't they? 01:59 There's people in government that say it. 02:06 Good thing I'm not running for public office, but because 02:09 yeah, it came up zero. 02:10 Now, it turns out I did have a little Indian from India, 02:14 but that's not what I thought. 02:17 I'm a hodgepodge from Europe and England, but mostly Jew. 02:22 European Jew it said. 02:25 Well, our message today is about fruits and nuts 02:28 and the family tree. 02:31 And someone said once I shook the family tree and several nuts 02:35 fell out. 02:37 And I think that we all know that it seems like every family 02:44 has an element of baggage, little bit of dysfunction, 02:49 varying degrees of challenges. 02:52 Child asks their mother, "How are people born?" 02:57 So, the mother being a Christian said, "Well, Adam got married 03:00 to Eve and they had babies and those babies grew 03:02 up and they had babies. 03:03 And eventually we came along." 03:05 And the child then went to the father and he was not 03:07 a believer and he said, "Well, years ago our ancestors were 03:11 monkeys that went through the jungle and gradually 03:13 they evolved into what we are today." 03:16 Child ran back to the mom and said, "Mom, you lied to me. 03:20 Dad said we came from monkeys." 03:22 She said, "No, I wasn't lying. 03:24 He was talking about his side of the family." 03:29 Now, I know when I first started reading through the Bible I 03:34 sometimes struggled going through the genealogies. 03:37 I don't know how you are but when you get 03:39 to the genealogies you kinda just mumble through the names. 03:41 Some of 'em are hard to say. 03:43 I used to say is this part of the Bible inspired? 03:47 Am I supposed to understand this? 03:49 And you find genealogies, you'll find it you know in Genesis 03:52 chapter 5. 03:54 And you get Chronicles, there's quite a bit of genealogy 03:56 in Chronicles. 03:57 You might be interested to know that the the chronicles are 04:01 written with a very specific purpose and it's actually very 04:05 valuable. 04:07 First of all, if you look in 1 Chronicles chapter 1, it's 04:10 tracing the genealogy all the way from Adam up to King 04:15 David. 04:16 It's the royal genealogy. 04:19 It's the genealogy of the king. 04:22 But then if you go to 1 Chronicles chapter 6, it's got 04:24 a different genealogy, it goes from Levi and it's the genealogy 04:30 of the priests. 04:32 I think it's interesting they were careful to separate 04:34 the king and the priest. 04:36 The church and the state. 04:37 They were separate genealogies. 04:39 There was a civil calendar. 04:41 There was a religious calendar. 04:43 And you may know that one reason God I think blessed America, 04:47 we're that lamb with two horns, because we had a separation 04:50 of church and state. 04:52 Doesn't mean that the state is not informed by the church 04:55 and the church is not informed by the laws of the land, but we 04:58 kept them two distinct things. 04:59 Where you find that in the Bible? 05:02 But you also as you read through the genealogies 05:05 of the kings, you find some interesting characters. 05:08 Some were good, some were not so good, some were terrible. 05:11 And even among the priests, you got Nadab, and Abihu, and--and 05:13 Phinehas. 05:17 So, the Bible gives a very faithful record and even 05:20 in those family trees they had a few fruits and nuts. 05:25 But if you look at the family tree of Jesus, you're gonna find 05:28 out he has an interesting family tree. 05:30 Some of you open up your New Testament and you get bored 05:34 right away. 05:35 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son 05:38 of David, the son of Abraham. 05:41 Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, Jacob begot Judah. 05:45 Now, right there I haven't gone very far. 05:47 Abraham who had an affair with his wife's maid 05:52 with the encouragement of his wife, beget Isaac who played 05:57 favorites with his two sons. 06:00 Who beget Jacob who dressed up like a sheep so he could 06:02 deceive his father and work with his mother as a conspirator 06:07 to steal the birthright. 06:09 And he then had Judah, who slept with his daughter-in-law 06:14 and ended up having twins because he didn't want to give 06:17 his sons to her. 06:18 Now, I haven't gone very far in Jesus's family tree, 06:22 but something I'm noticing right away is they had a little 06:25 dysfunction going on and yet these are the holy 06:30 ancestors of Jesus. 06:32 Now, they were godly people. 06:33 Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 06:34 But you read in their lives and in spite of their commitment 06:38 to God and loving the Lord, they seem very human. 06:42 And you can just keep on going down and all you could talk 06:45 about Rahab, who she had a cottage business you might 06:51 say. 06:53 And then you've got David and we've heard ad nauseam 06:56 about David's lying, and deception, and murder, 07:00 and yet he's an ancestor of Jesus. 07:03 So, we're learning that God's family is made up of imperfect 07:08 people that God made perfect through the plan of salvation. 07:15 And it's not just here in Matthew. 07:16 When you look at the genealogy of Jesus, you can see that 07:21 there's something very interesting happening. 07:23 In Matthew, you've got that genealogy. 07:26 Matthew's genealogy is the line of Jesus written for the Jews 07:33 that leads to the father that was very important, leads 07:35 to Joseph the father. 07:37 Luke a physician said, "Well, technically Jesus was conceived 07:41 of the Holy Spirit. 07:42 So we got to trace the bloodline through the mother." 07:45 So, Luke's bloodline is written for the Gentiles and it goes 07:48 through the mother. 07:49 And you know he takes it all the way back. 07:51 It doesn't just go to Abraham, it says the son of Nathan, 07:55 the son of David, the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, 07:57 the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, and you keep on going 08:00 back as the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son 08:03 of Adam, the son of God. 08:05 They follow the same geology until you get to David and then 08:09 Luke now follows from David to Mary going through Mary's 08:14 father-in-law, rather Joseph's father-in-law, Mary's dad, 08:19 and then Matthew was following it from David 08:23 to Joseph because that would be the important lines. 08:25 People have wondered why there are two different genealogies. 08:28 There was a reason for that just like I showed you there was 08:30 a genealogy for the king and the priest. 08:32 Luke is for the Gentiles, Matthew's for the Jews. 08:35 One is going through the father. 08:36 One is going through the mother. 08:38 But as you read through the different characters 08:41 not all of them are mentioned, but as you read 08:44 through the different characters there are some really 08:46 interesting stories about these people that reminds us how human 08:51 they are. 08:53 And the Bible is pretty clear we are all family. 08:59 All of us are family. 09:01 Now, we're family because we're humans and in spite of some 09:06 people to think we all descended from monkeys, the Bible's pretty 09:10 clear that's not the way it happened. 09:11 We are all related to Adam and Eve. 09:13 And then if you think we lost track from that point, we're all 09:16 related to Noah. 09:20 Acts 17:26, we all have common DNA. 09:24 "He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell 09:28 on all the face of the earth, and He has determined their 09:31 preappointed times and the boundaries of their 09:33 dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord and hope that they 09:37 might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far 09:40 from every one of us." 09:42 Through the Holy Spirit, we all kind of get the DNA of Jesus 09:46 transplanted, but we are all related to each other. 09:50 And if you have a car accident and you need a blood transfusion 09:52 the people in the hospital are going to look at the blood type, 09:56 and they're not going to look and say, "Wow, I wonder are they 09:58 Hispanic, or are they Anglo, or they Chinese," and they don't 10:02 care. 10:04 They just want to know is it oh by the way I know what Jesus's 10:06 blood type was. 10:08 Called B+. 10:12 So, they're just going to want to know are you O+ or whatever 10:15 you are. 10:16 Do you have the right blood type because now if they give you 10:19 lizard blood it'll kill you. 10:22 It's gotta be human blood because we're all related. 10:25 Just as long as it's the right blood type. 10:28 Romans 5:12 problem is that through one of our ancestors we 10:36 acquired a disease. 10:38 "Through one man's sin," Romans 5:12, "sin entered the world 10:41 and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because 10:45 all sinned." 10:46 Now, that doesn't sound fair. 10:48 I was doing a little research. 10:50 Do you know there are certain diseases that are particular 10:52 to certain races. 10:55 You've heard of sickle cell anemia anemia. 10:57 It is more prominent among African Americans, though 11:01 there are some Latin Americans that get it. 11:03 Cystic fibrosis is more prominent among Jews. 11:06 There are several diseases that Jews principally get and you see 11:10 around the world that there are certain diseases that are more 11:12 kind of isolated in certain groups, partly because of their 11:17 isolation. 11:18 There's not enough outside genes that come in and they can get 11:22 genetic deficiencies. 11:24 There are certain diseases that certain breeds of dog get 11:28 because through inbreeding over years. 11:31 They don't get the genetic makeup that they should 11:34 initially have. 11:36 And so, we because we're related to Adam, we've got a problem. 11:42 See, Adam and Eve originally were made in God's image 11:45 but through sin, the DNA, the gene somethin' was damaged. 11:50 Before Adam was motivated by love and after sin 11:53 the compass needle flipped around and now we're motivated 11:55 by self. 11:57 And every human that is born, how many have sinned? 12:02 We've all got this disease. 12:06 We've got a problem. 12:07 Through one man's sin sin entered the world and all have 12:10 sinned. 12:12 Romans 5:14, "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even 12:17 over those who had not sinned. 12:18 According to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, 12:20 who is a type of Him who is to come." 12:22 Death reigned. 12:24 He's talkin' about even through the that Old Testament 12:26 time up to Moses and beyond then. 12:29 So, we've all got this hereditary problem that has 12:33 caused sin. 12:35 And it affects us in our relationships in our home. 12:39 You know a lot of the biggest disputes in the Bible, you know 12:41 where they are? 12:43 It's called friendly fire alias family feuds. 12:48 announcer: Don't forget to request today's life changing 12:51 free resource. 12:52 Not only can you receive this free gift in the mail you can

him. 13:28 His king tried to kill him. 13:30 Jesus's brothers didn't understand who he was. 13:34 You can see that there's rivalry that goes on between Jacob. 13:39 Esau threatened to kill Jacob. 13:41 Happens in the families even in the Bible. 13:44 Heard about a husband and wife celebrating 60 years 13:47 and the local paper came by and they said, "That's 13:49 commendable. 13:50 To what do you attribute your long and happy marriage?" 13:54 And the husband said, "Well, when we got married we made 13:56 an agreement that I would make all of the major decisions 13:59 and she would make all of the minor decisions. 14:02 And wouldn't you know after 60 years of marriage, we've never 14:04 had to make a major decision." 14:09 So, that's how they got along. 14:14 And something else that we've noticed is that we have family 14:19 resemblance. 14:21 Whenever I see families traveling I always look 14:25 at the kids and then I look at the parents and I try to just 14:27 for my own entertainment see who looks like who. 14:31 Do we tend to bear things similar to our parents, there's 14:36 likenesses that happened there. 14:38 Someone said the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree. 14:43 I remember hearing one time about during World War II, you 14:47 know they took children out of the city 'cause bomb-- 14:50 London was being bombed by the Nazis just relentless 14:54 bombing. 14:55 And so, many of the children were taken out into the country 14:57 and put in homes to try to preserve the children because 15:01 so many adults had to work in the city. 15:03 They were dying from the daily bombings of the Nazis. 15:06 And many of the children were separated from the parents 15:08 for years and some of the parents died and they 15:10 never got reunited. 15:12 And there were large orphanages and there's one family that had 15:15 like five children in it. 15:17 After the war was over they were trying to find out if either 15:20 their parents had survived. 15:21 And they understood they had lost their mother, but someone 15:25 had gotten word that the father was alive. 15:28 So, the son went into London to look for the father, found 15:32 the father was in a hospital. 15:33 He was recovering. 15:34 Told the father the brothers and sisters were all okay, 15:37 and he was going to bring back word, and he came back and he 15:40 told his siblings, "Father's alive." 15:42 Some of these kids were young. 15:43 They hadn't seen their father in five years and they said, 15:46 "What's he like?" 15:48 And the older brother, he smiled and he said, "Well, they tell me 15:52 he's the spitting image of me." 15:56 When God sent Jesus into the world part 16:00 of the reason Christ came was to show us what the Father's 16:03 like. 16:04 Amen? 16:06 So, He said, "If you've seen Me, you've seen the Father." 16:09 He wants us to know that He is the image of the Father. 16:13 Christ became one of us. 16:16 The Bible says in Philippians 2:7, "But He made Himself of no 16:20 reputation taking the form of a bondservant and coming 16:24 in the likeness of men." 16:26 If God had come through Jesus with all of His glory and His 16:29 dazzling brightness and power we couldn't have born it but He 16:32 came so much like a man that when He was walking among man 16:36 they had no idea that He was any different. 16:38 Bible says, "There's no outward form or comeliness that we 16:41 should desire Him." 16:42 Hebrews 4:15, "We do not have a High Priest who cannot 16:46 sympathize with our weakness, but He was in all points tempted 16:50 as we are yet without sin." 16:53 So, then we read on here. 16:56 In Galatians chapter 3 now it tells us that after Christ came 17:05 He came to provide adoption for us. 17:08 The Bible says, "For you are all children of God by faith 17:13 in Jesus." 17:14 We become adopted into this new family. 17:18 Continuing with Romans chapter 5, verse 18, "Therefore as 17:23 through one man's offense," Adam, "judgment came on all men, 17:27 resulting in condemnation." 17:29 'Cause we all sinned, "Even so through one man's righteous 17:34 act," Jesus coming, his dying on the cross, "The free gift, 17:38 the cure came to all men, resulting in justification 17:44 of life." 17:45 The sin of Adam resulted in death. 17:47 The sacrifice of Jesus offers us life. 17:49 Now, I just want to pause right here and emphasize a point. 17:52 How many of you believe that because of the fall of Adam that 17:56 you're having problems today? 17:58 Is that real to you? 17:59 Do you struggle with sin? 18:01 I don't see too many hands going up and I see your heads nodding. 18:03 You're just-- is it real? 18:05 You really know that because of what happened to Adam it 18:08 affects my life today. 18:09 I know it. 18:11 Yeah. 18:12 It's like Paul said, we struggle with this nature inside. 18:17 The sacrifice of Jesus liberating you from that disease 18:22 is just as real through faith. 18:26 This is what Paul is saying and when you catch this, 18:28 friends, this is the message of righteousness by faith. 18:32 Through the sin of Adam we've all got big problems. 18:35 We're tempted, we fall, we sin, sin brings all kinds of misery 18:38 in its wake, but through the sacrifice 18:41 and the victory of Jesus, we can be born again, adopted 18:47 into a new family that has life instead of death. 18:51 Through Adam there's a death penalty, through life there-- 18:56 through Jesus there is life that comes. 18:58 That's good news. 18:59 You know this is the story of the gospel. 19:01 It says in Romans 8:14, "For as many as are led by the Spirit, 19:05 these are the sons of God. 19:08 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again 19:10 to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom 19:16 we cry out, 'Abba, Father.' 19:19 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are 19:22 children of God." 19:24 And I know you might think well, aren't we all children of God? 19:25 No, Jesus said to some of the religious leaders, 19:28 "You're of your father the devil." 19:32 Not everyone is a child of God. 19:33 I mean, we're all children of God in that He loves 19:35 everybody, but you're not adopted into the family unless 19:39 you're born again in the family. 19:42 It says, "By which we cry, 'Abba, Father,' the Spirit 19:45 Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children 19:47 of God and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint 19:52 heirs with Christ." 19:53 What is an heir? 19:55 An heir is someone that inherits. 19:59 You know, I remember reading about a couple of boys that were 20:03 registering at a new school one day. 20:05 They were about seven years old and the teacher was writing 20:07 down their names. 20:08 They were brothers and she asked their birthdays. 20:10 One said, "I was born April 7." 20:11 The other one said, "I'm born April 21." 20:12 He said, "Wait a second. 20:14 I've heard of twins that were born on different days, you 20:16 know, within a few hours, but you guys can't be twins. 20:18 You don't look like twins." 20:20 And she said, "How can this be?" 20:22 And they said, "We're adopted." 20:24 And the teacher without thinking she said, "Just curious, which 20:26 one?" 20:28 And they said, "We don't know. 20:31 Dad says he loves us both and he can't remember." 20:36 So, when we're adopted into the family, God looks 20:40 upon us with the same love as His Son. 20:44 What he said to Jesus at His baptism, "This is My beloved Son 20:47 in whom I'm well pleased." 20:49 He says that to us. 20:51 "To Timothy, my own son in the faith," what's 20:54 the language of the apostles? 20:56 It's the language of a family. 20:59 Matthew 12:46 through 50, while Christ was talking 21:02 to the multitudes His mother and His brothers stood outside 21:05 seeking to speak with Him. 21:07 And they said, "Look, you know, we're family. 21:08 We have priority. 21:09 Tell these people we want to talk to You. 21:11 Get over here right now." 21:12 "And Jesus said to him the one who beckoned Him, 'Look, your 21:16 mother and your brother,' they said, 'are standing outside.' 21:19 He answered and said, 'Who is My mother and who are My brothers?' 21:24 He stretched out His hand towards His disciples. 21:27 He said, 'For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven 21:31 they are My brother and My sister and My mother.'" When 21:36 you're adopted into his family it's because we obey a different 21:41 constitution. 21:42 We want to follow His Word. 21:45 Now, what do we get? 21:46 Are there any benefits of being adopted and being part of His 21:49 family? 21:50 Peter asked what we all think. 21:52 Peter began to say, "Lord, we've left everything to follow you, 21:55 what will we have?" 21:57 And Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you there 22:01 is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, 22:05 or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands." 22:10 Sometimes when a person made a decision to be a Christian, 22:13 they were alienated from their family. 22:16 They were shunned. 22:18 And if you are a Jew and you accepted Christ after that great 22:20 persecution arose you could lose your property. 22:23 You realize one reason the genealogies are in the Bible 22:26 is because property was held by families. 22:29 You were not supposed to take your your inheritance of your 22:32 land sell it to another tribe. 22:34 You read the story of Naboth's vineyard, the King Ahab said 22:38 to Naboth, "I'd like to have your property." 22:40 Says, "I can't the law says it's my family's." 22:43 You couldn't lose your family inheritance. 22:44 So, the genealogy really was a deed and your genealogy 22:49 in Christ gives you an inheritance to a land doesn't 22:52 it? 22:53 "You'll receive hundredfold more, a hundred times more now 22:58 in this time-- houses, and brothers, and sisters, 23:01 and mothers, and children, and lands with persecutions," he 23:05 puts in, "and in the age to come eternal life." 23:10 And God promises to pull His family together near the end. 23:13 Some of you are praying for loved ones. 23:16 Some of us got kids and they do, and all of us are very proud 23:22 of our kids until they act foolish and then we don't 23:24 believe in heredity anymore. 23:28 But we all have kids we're praying for. 23:31 The Bible says, "I will say to the north," Isaiah 43:6, 23:34 "'Give them up' and to the south, 'Do not keep 23:37 them back. 23:39 Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends 23:42 of the earth. 23:43 Everyone who is called by My name who I have created for My 23:46 glory.'" God says that He will save thy children. 23:53 You know, in Christ, we are all blessed with the blessings that 23:56 God gave Abraham. 23:58 You know God told Abraham in Genesis 12, I will bless 24:01 those who bless you and I will curse him, who curses you. 24:04 And in you, in your seed, in your families, all the Earth 24:08 will be blessed and then you jump to the New Testament. 24:10 That's Genesis, Old Testament, go to the G in the New 24:13 Testament. 24:14 That's Galatians. 24:16 It says, If you are Christ's then you are Abraham's seed 24:18 and heirs. 24:19 You are adopted into the family and you are an heir, what's 24:22 an heir get? 24:23 An inheritance and you are heirs according to the promise. 24:27 All the blessings that God made and promised to Abraham belong 24:30 to you. 24:32 He promised him a city not made with man's hands, didn't he? 24:36 He promised them a place in the Promised Land. 24:39 "Though your sins be as scarlet, They will be white as snow; 24:42 Though they be red like crimson, They will be like wool." 24:47 Who was it Billy Graham, or it was Billy Sunday used to say, "I 24:51 don't know, how a black cow eats green grass and make yellow 24:54 butter and white milk, but I believe it." 24:59 And Jesus is telling us that He's offering us the antidote. 25:02 Now, when we come to Christ through faith, and we believe 25:06 in His sacrifice, the Bible says that you can be born again. 25:10 You are adopted. 25:11 You are washed in the blood and you are part of the family 25:15 in heaven. 25:16 And I'm so glad that we have a family here and you know even 25:19 in our family, we know we've got some fruits and nuts 25:22 in the family tree, amen? 25:24 But we're family. 25:26 Did the disciples sometimes argue among themselves who was 25:28 the greatest but when they put aside their differences God 25:32 poured out the spirit and they changed the world. 25:34 ♪♪ 25:38 announcer: Don't forget to request today's life changing 25:41 free resource. 25:42 Not only can you receive this free gift in the mail you can 25:44 download a digital copy straight to your computer or mobile 25:47 device. 25:49 To get your digital copy of today's free gift simply text 25:52 the keyword on your screen to 40544 or visit the web 25:56 address shown on your screen. 25:58 And be sure to select a digital download option on the request 26:01 page. 26:02 It's now easier than ever for you to study God's Word 26:05 with Amazing Facts wherever and whenever you want. 26:08 And most important to share it with others. 26:11 female announcer: Did you know Amazing Facts has a free Bible 26:14 school that you can do from the comfort of your own 26:16 home? 26:18 It includes 27 study lessons to aid in your study of God's 26:21 Word. 26:22 Sign up today by calling 1-844-215-7000. 26:26 That's 1-844-215-7000. 26:31 Doug: Hello friends, Pastor Doug Batchelor here with Amazing 26:33 Facts. 26:35 When Susan's and Michael's whirlwind relationship led 26:37 to a wedding. 26:39 They had no idea how hard married life could be. 26:42 Before they knew it they were on the stormy path 26:44 towards divorce, but that's when God led them to an Amazing Facts 26:49 broadcast. 26:50 And there they saw the biblical view of marriage as presented 26:54 in knowing Jesus. 26:55 Finally, they understood what it meant to love sacrificially 26:58 like Christ and today, Susan and Michael are joyfully married 27:02 sharing what they learned with others. 27:05 Now, you friend have an opportunity to help someone 27:07 today and to make an eternal difference for more people 27:10 like Michael and Susan. 27:12 Your simple investment of faith in Amazing Facts will keep 27:16 growing and reaching more people with God's life changing Word. 27:20 Would you prayerfully consider sending a gift today to help 27:23 others know Christ and the wonderful truth that 27:26 you've learned? 27:27 And it's easy to make a donation. 27:28 Give us a call at 877-506-1751. 27:34 The number again 877-506-1751 or just visit 27:41 Give.AmazingFacts.org, or send your gift to P.O. 27:46 Box 1058, Roseville, California 95678. 27:52 Thank you friends for watching Amazing Facts Television. 27:55 Don't forget share with others the amazing Bible facts, you're 27:58 learning here every day. 28:00 ♪♪ 28:05 male announcer: Don't forget to request today's free offer. 28:07 It's sure to be a blessing. 28:09 And thank you for your continued support as we take the Gospel 28:12 of Jesus Christ to the world. 28:14 We hope you'll join us next week as we delve deep into the Word 28:18 of God to explore more amazing facts. 28:21 ♪♪ 28:24 announcer: This presentation was brought to you by the friends 28:27 of the Amazing Facts Ministry. |
