00:00:36.36\00:00:43.36
>>LET ME TELL YOU WHY
THE SUBJECT TONIGHT IS VERY
00:00:43.36\00:00:45.06
IMPORTANT.
00:00:45.06\00:00:46.93
YOU LIVE IN SOMETHING CALLED
TIME. TIME IS THE STUFF THAT
00:00:46.93\00:00:53.56
YOUR LIFE IS MADE OF.
00:00:53.56\00:00:55.83
A HUNDRED PERCENT OF
ALL YOU HAVE BELONGS TO GOD,
00:00:55.83\00:01:00.16
BUT IN THE BIBLE IT TELLS
US THAT WE GIVE A PERCENTAGE OF
00:01:00.16\00:01:02.60
THAT TO SHOW OUR FAITH IN GOD.
00:01:02.60\00:01:05.73
A HUNDRED PERCENT OF YOUR TIME
BELONGS TO GOD, BUT HE TELLS US
00:01:05.73\00:01:10.20
IN THE BIBLE TO SHOW OUR FAITH
IN HIM BY HONORING A PERCENTAGE
00:01:10.20\00:01:13.93
OF THAT AS HOLY.
00:01:13.93\00:01:16.13
AND THAT IS ONE OF THE
COMMANDMENTS THAT HAS LARGELY
00:01:16.13\00:01:20.06
BEEN FORGOTTEN - NOT ONLY BY THE
WORLD BUT BY EVEN THE CHURCH.
00:01:20.06\00:01:25.16
IT'S AMAZING THAT THE ONE
COMMANDMENT THAT BEGINS WITH THE
00:01:25.16\00:01:27.70
WORD 'REMEMBER'
HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN.
00:01:27.70\00:01:32.36
IN THE COMMANDMENTS, YOU'VE GOT
ONE COMMANDMENT - THE LONGEST
00:01:32.36\00:01:36.76
COMMANDMENT - BEGINS WITH THE
WORD 'REMEMBER' AND THE DEVIL
00:01:36.76\00:01:39.93
HAS BEEN ATTACKING
THAT COMMANDMENT - AND I'LL
00:01:39.93\00:01:43.10
TELL YOU WHY.
00:01:43.10\00:01:44.83
YOU CANNOT LOVE
SOMEBODY WITHOUT TIME.
00:01:44.83\00:01:49.53
LOVE DEVELOPS AS YOU
GET TO KNOW SOMEBODY.
00:01:49.53\00:01:51.86
AND YOU KNOW WHY A LOT
OF MARRIAGES FALL APART?
00:01:51.86\00:01:55.03
BECAUSE THE COUPLE STOPS
HAVING QUALITY TIME TOGETHER.
00:01:55.03\00:01:59.53
THEY STOP COMMUNICATING.
00:01:59.53\00:02:00.73
THEY STOP
SPENDING TIME TOGETHER.
00:02:00.73\00:02:03.90
YOU CANNOT OBEY GOD IF YOU DON'T
KNOW GOD IF YOU DON'T LOVE GOD.
00:02:03.90\00:02:07.66
THE DEVIL KNOWS THAT.
00:02:07.66\00:02:10.00
SO THE DEVIL WORKS THE HARDEST
TO DESTROY OUR TIME WITH GOD.
00:02:10.00\00:02:15.93
AND THAT'S REALLY
WHAT THIS LESSON IS ABOUT.
00:02:15.93\00:02:18.30
QUESTION #1: WHICH DAY
OF THE WEEK IS THE SABBATH?
00:02:18.30\00:02:24.70
WELL, YOU CAN LOOK
AT A NUMBER OF PLACES.
00:02:24.70\00:02:25.96
FIRST OF ALL, LOOK AT GENESIS
CHAPTER 2, VERSES 2 AND 3,
00:02:25.96\00:02:28.60
"AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY" -
THIS IS THE WEEK OF CREATION -
00:02:28.60\00:02:31.86
"ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED
HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE AND
00:02:31.86\00:02:35.03
HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY
FROM HIS WORK THAT HE HAD DONE
00:02:35.03\00:02:38.53
AND GOD BLESSED THE
SABBATH DAY AND HALLOWED IT."
00:02:38.53\00:02:43.46
SO WHAT DAY OF THE
WEEK IS THE SEVENTH DAY?
00:02:43.46\00:02:44.96
THIS KIND OF SURPRISES PEOPLE.
00:02:44.96\00:02:47.50
IT SAYS, 'SEVENTH DAY, SATURDAY,
THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK.'
00:02:47.50\00:02:51.63
YOU LOOK IN ANY DICTIONARY,
YOU LOOK IN ANY ENCYCLOPEDIA,
00:02:51.63\00:02:54.93
IT WILL TELL YOU THE
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, SUNDAY -
00:02:54.93\00:02:57.20
SEVENTH DAY OF
THE WEEK, SATURDAY.
00:02:57.20\00:02:59.20
IT'S THAT WAY - YOU LOOK AT
ANY NORMAL CALENDAR AND YOU'LL
00:02:59.20\00:03:01.56
SEE THAT.
00:03:01.56\00:03:02.60
#2: BUT WASN'T THE SABBATH
CHANGED TO SUNDAY AT CHRIST'S
00:03:02.60\00:03:07.33
DEATH OR RESURRECTION?
00:03:07.33\00:03:09.60
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE?
00:03:09.60\00:03:13.23
LET'S LOOK AT
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:03:13.23\00:03:14.60
LUKE CHAPTER 23, VERSE 54,
"THAT DAY, THE DAY THAT JESUS
00:03:14.60\00:03:18.30
DIED WAS THE PREPARATION DAY."
- IT'S WHAT WE COMMONLY CALL
00:03:18.30\00:03:21.13
FRIDAY - "AND
THE SABBATH DREW ON."
00:03:21.13\00:03:25.16
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'FROM EVENING
'TIL EVENING YOU'LL CELEBRATE
00:03:25.16\00:03:27.90
YOUR SABBATH BEGINS AT SUNDOWN.
00:03:27.90\00:03:31.03
AGAIN, YOU CAN READ IN
MARK CHAPTER 1 - NEW AND OLD
00:03:31.03\00:03:33.16
TESTAMENT - 'AND AT EVENING,
WHEN THE SUN HAD SET AND THE
00:03:33.16\00:03:36.80
SABBATH WAS OVER, PEOPLE BROUGHT
ALL THEIR SICK FRIENDS TO JESUS
00:03:36.80\00:03:39.73
AND HE BEGAN TO HEAL THEM.
00:03:39.73\00:03:41.23
SO THEY ALWAYS MEASURED THE DAYS
- THEY DID NOT BEGIN AT 12:00
00:03:41.23\00:03:44.46
MIDNIGHT - THE DAYS BEGAN AND
ENDED, IN THE BIBLE, AT SUNDOWN.
00:03:44.46\00:03:48.43
SO WHEN CHRIST DIED FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND THE SABBATH WAS
00:03:48.43\00:03:50.93
APPROACHING, IT SAYS, 'THEY THEN
RETURNED AND PREPARED SPICES AND
00:03:50.93\00:03:55.30
FRAGRANT OILS AND THEY RESTED ON
THE SABBATH DAY ACCORDING TO THE
00:03:55.30\00:04:00.30
JEWISH TRADITION.'
IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS?
00:04:00.30\00:04:04.30
CAN YOU READ THAT UP THERE?
00:04:04.30\00:04:06.30
IN THE BIBLE IT SAYS 'THEY
RESTED ON THE SABBATH DAY' - OH,
00:04:06.30\00:04:08.30
BY THE WAY, THIS IS IN LUKE -
'THEY RESTED ON THE SABBATH DAY'
00:04:08.30\00:04:12.10
- HE'S A GENTILE -
'ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT.'
00:04:12.10\00:04:15.80
HE NEVER MAKES ANY
SPECULATION ABOUT IT BEING SOME
00:04:15.80\00:04:18.96
OLD JEWISH LAW.
00:04:18.96\00:04:21.93
"AND ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE
WEEK, VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING,
00:04:21.93\00:04:24.66
THEY CAME TO THE TOMB.'
NOW, THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT
00:04:24.66\00:04:27.20
WHAT DAYS THINGS HAPPEN.
00:04:27.20\00:04:28.73
YOU JUST LOOK - I'LL PUT IT
UP HERE ON THE SCREEN SO YOU CAN
00:04:28.73\00:04:30.60
KIND OF VISUALIZE THIS.
00:04:30.60\00:04:32.50
JESUS DIED ON WHAT COMMONLY
IS CALLED 'GOOD FRIDAY' -
00:04:32.50\00:04:35.80
THAT'S THE PREPARATION DAY.
00:04:35.80\00:04:37.86
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT.
00:04:37.86\00:04:38.73
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.
00:04:38.73\00:04:40.73
HE RESTED IN THE
TOMB ON THE SABBATH.
00:04:40.73\00:04:43.20
DID YOU EVER CONSIDER THAT
JESUS FINISHED HIS WORK FRIDAY
00:04:43.20\00:04:46.16
AFTERNOON BEFORE THE
SABBATH BEGAN - HE SAID, 'IT IS
00:04:46.16\00:04:49.26
FINISHED.' HE WENT TO SLEEP
CHRIST EVEN KEPT THE SABBATH
00:04:49.26\00:04:52.90
IN HIS DEATH.
00:04:52.90\00:04:54.70
AND THEN HE ROSE - HE RESTED
THROUGH THE SABBATH - THEN HE
00:04:54.70\00:04:58.73
ROSE SUNDAY MORNING - NOT TO
START INAUGURATING A NEW DAY OF
00:04:58.73\00:05:02.30
REST - HE ROSE TO BEGIN HIS
WORK NOW, AS OUR HIGH PRIEST,
00:05:02.30\00:05:05.53
BEFORE THE FATHER.
00:05:05.53\00:05:07.10
THE IDEA THAT HE ROSE SUNDAY TO
INAUGURATE A NEW SABBATH - CAN
00:05:07.10\00:05:12.26
YOU PLEASE SHOW ME A COMMANDMENT
ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE THAT TELLS
00:05:12.26\00:05:16.46
US TO KEEP THE FIRST DAY
OF THE WEEK AS THE SABBATH?
00:05:16.46\00:05:20.80
I'LL WAIT.
00:05:20.80\00:05:24.73
I'LL BE WAITING A LONG TIME
BECAUSE IT ISN'T THERE FRIENDS,
00:05:24.73\00:05:26.76
IS IT?
00:05:26.76\00:05:27.66
IT'S PRETTY RISKY FOR ME TO DO
THAT WITH A LIVE CROWD LIKE THIS
00:05:27.66\00:05:30.23
WHEN THE CAMERAS ARE ROLLING
- EXCEPT I KNOW IT'S NOT THERE.
00:05:30.23\00:05:34.43
AND THE BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR -
THERE'S ONLY ONE DAY THAT'S EVER
00:05:34.43\00:05:37.06
GIVEN AS THE SABBATH DAY
AND IT IS WHAT WE COMMONLY CALL
00:05:37.06\00:05:41.66
SATURDAY - THE DAY
BETWEEN FRIDAY AND SUNDAY.
00:05:41.66\00:05:45.83
NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT - JESUS
ROSE SUNDAY - THAT'S WHY THEY
00:05:45.83\00:05:47.93
HAVE EASTER SUNDAY, RIGHT?
00:05:47.93\00:05:50.70
BUT ISN'T SUNDAY THE LORD'S DAY?
00:05:50.70\00:05:53.66
HOW MANY OF YOU'VE HEARD PEOPLE
SAY, 'WELL, ON THE LORD'S DAY,
00:05:53.66\00:05:56.13
SUNDAY' AND THEY'RE
TALKING ABOUT SUNDAY?
00:05:56.13\00:05:57.60
I HAVE.
00:05:57.60\00:05:58.90
WHERE'S THE VERSE THAT
CALLS SUNDAY THE LORD'S DAY?
00:05:58.90\00:06:02.13
BIG HOAX.
00:06:02.13\00:06:03.90
IT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:03.90\00:06:05.43
IT'S A TRADITION.
00:06:05.43\00:06:07.16
MATTER OF FACT, IT SAYS
THE OPPOSITE IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:07.16\00:06:09.46
IT SAYS THE SEVENTH DAY
SABBATH IS THE LORD'S DAY.
00:06:09.46\00:06:13.36
FOR INSTANCE, YOU CAN LOOK IN
EXODUS CHAPTER 20 - THIS IS THE
00:06:13.36\00:06:15.76
TEN COMMANDMENTS EXODUS 20 -
IT SAYS, 'BUT THE SEVENTH DAY
00:06:15.76\00:06:19.53
IS THE SABBATH OF THE
JEWS.' OH, IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS
00:06:19.53\00:06:24.10
IN THE COMMANDMENT?
00:06:24.10\00:06:25.16
THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE
SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD.'
00:06:25.16\00:06:29.66
THAT'S THE LORD'S DAY.
00:06:29.66\00:06:31.00
AGAIN, ISAIAH 58:13.
00:06:31.00\00:06:33.10
"IF YOU TURN AWAY YOUR FOOT FROM
THE SABBATH, FROM DOING YOUR
00:06:33.10\00:06:37.23
PLEASURE ON MY HOLY DAY," -
TURNING AWAY YOUR FOOT MEANS
00:06:37.23\00:06:40.16
GOING YOUR OWN WAY, TRAMPLING
SOMETHING UNDER YOUR FOOT.
00:06:40.16\00:06:42.80
IT'S SAYING, 'IF YOU STOP
DISRESPECTING MY HOLY DAY' THEN
00:06:42.80\00:06:46.63
HE SAYS HE'LL BLESS HIS PEOPLE
AND CAUSE THEM TO RIDE UPON THE
00:06:46.63\00:06:49.96
HIGH PLACES OF THE EARTH.
00:06:49.96\00:06:51.66
HE SAYS, 'MY HOLY DAY.' SO
WHAT DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY?
00:06:51.66\00:06:55.50
NOW YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, 'OH,
PASTOR DOUG, WHAT DIFFERENCE
00:06:55.50\00:06:57.86
DOES IT MAKE AS LONG
AS IT'S A SEVENTH DAY?
00:06:57.86\00:07:01.90
DO THE COMMANDMENTS
SAY 'KEEP A SEVENTH DAY' OR
00:07:01.90\00:07:04.20
'THE SEVENTH DAY'?
00:07:04.20\00:07:06.76
IF I SAY, 'CAN YOU
PLEASE BRING ME A PEN?'
00:07:06.76\00:07:09.80
ABOUT 50 OF YOU MIGHT HOP UP OUT
OF YOUR SEATS - YOU'RE VERY KIND
00:07:09.80\00:07:12.66
- AND BRING ME A PEN.
00:07:12.66\00:07:14.56
BUT IF I SAY 'WILL YOU BRING
ME 'THE PEN'' IS THAT DIFFERENT?
00:07:14.56\00:07:19.06
YOU'RE ALL GOING TO LOOK AT EACH
OTHER AND SAY, 'I WONDER WHAT
00:07:19.06\00:07:20.30
PEN HE'S TALKING ABOUT.' RIGHT?
00:07:20.30\00:07:22.86
THE WORD 'THE' IS
A DEFINITE ARTICLE.
00:07:22.86\00:07:24.93
SO, WHEN GOD SAYS, 'THE SEVENTH
DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD',
00:07:24.93\00:07:28.56
THERE IS NO LANGUAGE ARRANGEMENT
THAT IS MORE DEFINITE THAN THAT
00:07:28.56\00:07:31.83
THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT A
SPECIFIC DAY THAT HE BLESSED.
00:07:31.83\00:07:35.50
CAN WE BLESS OUR OWN DAY?
00:07:35.50\00:07:36.83
DO WE JUST SPIN SOME ROULETTE
WHEEL AND SAY, 'OH, YOU KNOW,
00:07:36.83\00:07:39.36
GOD'S GOT HIS BBATH, I'M GOING
TO PICK MY OWN - AS LONG AS IT'S
00:07:39.36\00:07:41.46
ONCE EVERY SEVENTH DAY.
00:07:41.46\00:07:43.06
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO
GOD'S PEOPLE IF WE ALL THOUGHT
00:07:43.06\00:07:44.63
LIKE THAT?
00:07:44.63\00:07:46.03
SABBATH IS CALLED A HOLY
CONVOCATION IN THE BIBLE.
00:07:46.03\00:07:49.03
CONVOCATION MEANS A
CONVENING, AN ASSEMBLY.
00:07:49.03\00:07:51.63
WE'RE TO COME
TOGETHER AND WORSHIP HIM.
00:07:51.63\00:07:54.70
AND YET THE DEVIL'S
BEEN ATTACKING THAT.
00:07:54.70\00:07:57.46
'WELL, BUT PASTOR DOUG, YOU
KNOW, EVERYBODY'S DOING IT.'
00:07:57.46\00:08:00.13
IS THAT GOING TO BE
YOUR ATTITUDE ABOUT GOD'S
00:08:00.13\00:08:02.83
COMMANDMENTS?
00:08:02.83\00:08:03.93
IF YOU DO WHAT EVERYBODY IN THE
WORLD'S DOING - NOW, I HATE TO
00:08:03.93\00:08:06.13
GO THERE.
00:08:06.13\00:08:07.56
JUST LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING
ON AROUND YOU IN THE WORLD.
00:08:07.56\00:08:09.80
ARE YOU GOING TO BE
GOVERNED BY THE WORD OF GOD?
00:08:09.80\00:08:13.16
AND THE LAW OF GOD?
00:08:13.16\00:08:14.36
OR BY POPULAR TRENDS?
00:08:14.36\00:08:16.66
'BROAD IS THE WAY THAT LEADS
TO DESTRUCTION AND MANY THEY ARE
00:08:16.66\00:08:19.73
THAT GO IN THAT ROAD.'
GOD'S CALLING YOU TO THE
00:08:19.73\00:08:22.93
STRAIGHT GATE, FRIENDS.
00:08:22.93\00:08:24.56
YOU MAY NOT BE IN THE MAJORITY
BUT IT'LL BE THE TRUTH AND THE
00:08:24.56\00:08:27.16
TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.
00:08:27.16\00:08:28.96
I WAS DOING A SEMINAR
LIKE THIS IN A SMALL TOWN.
00:08:28.96\00:08:32.53
I HAPPENED TO ALSO BE THE PASTOR
IN THIS TOWN AND SO, SOME OF THE
00:08:32.53\00:08:36.10
PEOPLE KNEW EACH OTHER.
00:08:36.10\00:08:37.66
AND I DID THIS PRESENTATION
THAT I'M SHARING WITH YOU AND A
00:08:37.66\00:08:41.90
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE THERE
- AND SOME OF THEM FROM VARIOUS
00:08:41.90\00:08:44.70
CHURCHES - AND THE PASTOR CAME
AND HE - I COULD SEE THAT HE WAS
00:08:44.70\00:08:48.73
JUST SWEATING BECAUSE HE
KNEW WHAT I WAS SAYING WAS TRUE.
00:08:48.73\00:08:52.86
HE KNEW ABOUT THE BIBLE TEXTS
AND HE BLURTED OUT - LIKE RIGHT
00:08:52.86\00:08:56.03
NOW, WHILE YOU'RE SITTING
HERE - HE BLURTED OUT DURING THE
00:08:56.03\00:08:58.00
PRESENTATION, 'PASTOR DOUG,
YOU'RE PUTTING ALL THESE PEOPLE
00:08:58.00\00:09:01.10
UNDER BONDAGE.
00:09:01.10\00:09:02.30
YOU'RE TELLING THEM THAT THEY'RE
BEING SAVED BY WORKS AND KEEPING
00:09:02.30\00:09:05.10
THE LAW.' WELL, I
MEAN, IT WAS A MAJOR
00:09:05.10\00:09:07.86
INTERRUPTION SO I SAID - I
DIDN'T WANT TO BE DISRESPECTFUL
00:09:07.86\00:09:11.13
- SO I SAID, 'PASTOR,' I
SAID, 'I'M TELLING THEM TO REST.
00:09:11.13\00:09:16.90
YOU'RE TELLING THEM NOT TO REST.
00:09:16.90\00:09:19.20
YOU'RE PUTTING THEM
UNDER WORKS, NOT ME.
00:09:19.20\00:09:21.36
I'M NOT TELLING THEM TO WORK.
00:09:21.36\00:09:21.96
I'M SAYING KEEP
THE SABBATH AND REST.'
00:09:21.96\00:09:24.53
HE SAID, 'WELL, WE DON'T
HAVE TO KEEP THE LAW. WE'RE
00:09:24.53\00:09:26.73
NOT UNDER THE LAW ANYMORE.' I
SAID, 'PASTOR,' - AND THIS WAS
00:09:26.73\00:09:31.90
VERY INTERESTING.
00:09:31.90\00:09:32.46
PEOPLE GOT VERY INTERESTED WHEN
THIS IS HAPPENING BETWEEN THE
00:09:32.46\00:09:34.16
PASTOR AND I - AND
HIS FACE WAS TURNING RED.
00:09:34.16\00:09:38.26
I SAID, 'PASTOR, DO YOU THINK
GOD WANTS US TO KEEP THE TEN
00:09:38.26\00:09:41.03
COMMANDMENTS?
00:09:41.03\00:09:43.50
HE SAID, 'NO!' AND
THEN EVERYBODY KIND OF
00:09:43.50\00:09:44.93
GASPED - HIS OWN MEMBERS KIND OF
LOOKED AT HIM - AND, I MEAN, HOW
00:09:44.93\00:09:47.63
CAN YOU EVER TELL YOUR PEOPLE
IT'S OKAY TO ROB AND KILL AND
00:09:47.63\00:09:50.46
STEAL - I MEAN, THAT'S ABSURD.
00:09:50.46\00:09:52.83
AND THEN HE LOOKED AT
THEM AND SAID, 'WELL YES!'
00:09:52.83\00:09:55.63
AND THEN HE
SAID, 'NINE OF THEM!'
00:09:55.63\00:09:58.70
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD
PASTORS PREACH THAT WE'RE NOT
00:09:58.70\00:10:02.30
UNDER THE LAW ANYMORE -
WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP THE LAW
00:10:02.30\00:10:04.46
IT'S - HAVE YOU HEARD THAT?
00:10:04.46\00:10:06.90
YEAH.
00:10:06.90\00:10:07.73
DO YOU KNOW WHY
THEY PREACH THAT?
00:10:07.73\00:10:09.86
THERE'S ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT IS AN ANNOYANCE.
00:10:09.86\00:10:13.83
IT'S THE SABBATH.
00:10:13.83\00:10:15.46
AND THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN
GET RID OF THE SABBATH - BECAUSE
00:10:15.46\00:10:17.26
IT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE - IT
BEGINS WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER'
00:10:17.26\00:10:20.10
- OH, AND I ASKED THIS PASTOR, I
SAID, 'SO YOU'RE TELLING US THAT
00:10:20.10\00:10:23.73
THE ONE COMMANDMENT GOD WANTS US
TO FORGET IS THE ONLY ONE THAT
00:10:23.73\00:10:26.36
BEGINS WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER'
- THAT'S THE ONE WE'RE SUPPOSED
00:10:26.36\00:10:28.50
TO FORGET?' DOES
THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?
00:10:28.50\00:10:32.06
AND YET, YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, I
COULD PROBABLY GO TO JUST ABOUT
00:10:32.06\00:10:36.70
ANY MAJOR DENOMINATION HERE IN
AUSTRALIA AND I COULD STAND UP
00:10:36.70\00:10:40.16
AND I COULD PREACH A SERMON
ON YOU NEED TO HONOR YOUR FATHER
00:10:40.16\00:10:46.13
AND MOTHER AND MOST
FOLKS WOULD SAY 'AMEN.'
00:10:46.13\00:10:48.90
AND SO I COULD PREACH ABOUT
NOT HAVING OTHER GODS AND PEOPLE
00:10:48.90\00:10:54.03
WOULD SAY 'AMEN.'
MOST CHURCHES WOULD JUST
00:10:54.03\00:10:55.96
LOVE IT.
00:10:55.96\00:10:56.60
THEY'D SHAKE MY HAND
AND SAY, 'GOOD SERMON.'
00:10:56.60\00:10:58.86
BUT THEN IF I WERE TO SAY,
'REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY' -
00:10:58.86\00:11:02.30
'OH, WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW.'
THAT WOULD SHAKE PEOPLE UP.
00:11:02.30\00:11:05.66
DO YOU SEE AN
INCONSISTENCY THERE?
00:11:05.66\00:11:09.13
WHAT DID I TELL YOU?
00:11:09.13\00:11:10.43
TIME IS THE STUFF
THAT LIFE IS MADE OF.
00:11:10.43\00:11:14.56
THE DEVIL KNOWS THAT OUR QUALITY
TIME WITH GOD, THAT BLESSED TIME
00:11:14.56\00:11:17.63
WITH GOD, IS GOING TO INFUSE YOU
WITH POWER AND HE'S TRYING TO
00:11:17.63\00:11:20.93
ERODE THAT.
00:11:20.93\00:11:22.23
GOD DIDN'T BLESS EVERY DAY.
00:11:22.23\00:11:24.20
YOU KNOW, I RECOGNIZE THAT THERE
ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BE
00:11:24.20\00:11:26.83
IN HEAVEN THAT WENT TO
CHURCH ON THE WRONG DAY.
00:11:26.83\00:11:28.93
DID YOU ALL HEAR ME?
00:11:28.93\00:11:30.80
I BELIEVE THERE ARE GOING TO
BE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT MAYBE
00:11:30.80\00:11:33.90
BROKE SOME OF GOD'S
COMMANDMENTS UNKNOWINGLY.
00:11:33.90\00:11:37.06
HOW MANY BELIEVE KING
DAVID WILL BE IN HEAVEN?
00:11:37.06\00:11:40.50
HOW MANY WIVES DID HE HAVE?
00:11:40.50\00:11:43.26
TOO MANY.
00:11:43.26\00:11:46.83
SOMEONE ASKED BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
ONE TIME, 'CAN YOU SHOW ME A
00:11:46.83\00:11:49.16
SCRIPTURE SOMEWHERE THAT
SAYS THAT A MAN CAN'T HAVE
00:11:49.16\00:11:51.33
MORE THAN ONE WIFE?'
AND BEN FRANKLIN SAID, 'YES.
00:11:51.33\00:11:54.46
NO MAN CAN SERVE TWO
MASTERS.' THAT CAME REALLY EASY.
00:11:54.46\00:12:02.20
BUT DAVID'LL BE IN
HEAVEN - TOO MANY WIVES.
00:12:02.20\00:12:03.83
WILL THERE BE PEOPLE
IN HEAVEN THAT HAD SLAVES?
00:12:03.83\00:12:06.80
ABRAHAM HAD SLAVES
- HE'LL BE IN HEAVEN.
00:12:06.80\00:12:10.06
THERE'LL BE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN WHO
MAYBE WENT TO CHURCH THE WRONG
00:12:10.06\00:12:11.90
DAY AS THEIR SABBATH.
00:12:11.90\00:12:13.50
GOD WINKS AT OUR IGNORANCE.
00:12:13.50\00:12:14.86
BUT WHEN WE KNOW THE TRUTH
- IF I GET EXTRA WIVES, I CAN
00:12:14.86\00:12:18.00
PROMISE YOU I'M NOT GOING TO BE
THERE BECAUSE I - FIRST OF ALL,
00:12:18.00\00:12:20.50
MY WIFE WILL KILL ME.
00:12:20.50\00:12:21.93
SECONDLY, I KNOW BETTER,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:12:21.93\00:12:25.10
AND SO, I CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE
IT'S A SIN AGAINST WHAT MY
00:12:25.10\00:12:27.73
KNOWLEDGE IS.
00:12:27.73\00:12:29.63
GOD WANTS US TO WALK IN
THE LIGHT THAT HE'S GIVEN US.
00:12:29.63\00:12:32.46
SHOULDN'T I KEEP SUNDAY
TO HONOR THE RESURRECTION?
00:12:32.46\00:12:36.03
WELL, THE LORD'S GIVEN
US SOMETHING TO HONOR THE
00:12:36.03\00:12:37.70
RESURRECTION -
IT'S NOT A NEW SABBATH.
00:12:37.70\00:12:40.30
IT SAYS IN ROMANS CHAPTER
6, VERSE 4, "THEREFORE, WE ARE
00:12:40.30\00:12:43.10
BURIED WITH HIM
THROUGH BAPTISM INTO DEATH.
00:12:43.10\00:12:45.90
THAT JUST AS CHRIST WAS RAISED
FROM THE DEAD BY THE GLORY OF
00:12:45.90\00:12:49.06
THE FATHER" - OOPS, I JUMPED
TWO SLIDES - "EVEN SO, WE SHOULD
00:12:49.06\00:12:52.40
WALK IN A NEWNESS OF LIFE."
00:12:52.40\00:12:54.10
GOD'S GIVEN US BAPTISM AS
A SIGN OF DEATH, BURIAL, AND
00:12:54.10\00:12:57.16
RESURRECTION, NOT A NEW SABBATH.
00:12:57.16\00:12:59.03
WHY WOULD HE CHANGE THE SABBATH?
00:12:59.03\00:13:00.76
WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE
SEVENTH DAY WHERE HE HAD TO MOVE
00:13:00.76\00:13:02.86
IT TO THE FIRST DAY?
00:13:02.86\00:13:04.80
OUR GOD DIDN'T MAKE A MISTAKE.
00:13:04.80\00:13:05.96
WHEN GOD CREATED THE SABBATH
COMMANDMENT WAS THERE SIN IN THE
00:13:05.96\00:13:08.50
WORLD YET?
00:13:08.50\00:13:11.03
WAS THE WORLD PERFECT WHEN GOD
FIRST INSTITUTED THE SABBATH?
00:13:11.03\00:13:13.86
HE DIDN'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES.
00:13:13.86\00:13:15.66
THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.
00:13:15.66\00:13:16.90
IT DOESN'T NEED CHANGING.
00:13:16.90\00:13:18.80
WE NEED CHANGING.
00:13:18.80\00:13:20.43
THAT'S THE GOSPEL.
00:13:20.43\00:13:22.23
WELL IF SUNDAY-KEEPING ISN'T
IN THE BIBLE, WHOSE IDEA WAS IT
00:13:22.23\00:13:25.70
ANYWAY, WHERE'D IT COME FROM?
00:13:25.70\00:13:27.96
NOW, YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE TIME
OF CONSTANTINE - NOW THIS IS
00:13:27.96\00:13:30.43
THREE HUNDRED YEARS AFTER CHRIST
- THREE HUNDRED YEARS AFTER
00:13:30.43\00:13:35.56
CHRIST WHEN CHRISTIANITY WAS
FINALLY LEGALIZED IN THE ROMAN
00:13:35.56\00:13:38.56
EMPIRE BY CONSTANTINE - THE
ROMAN DAY OF WORSHIP WAS THE
00:13:38.56\00:13:42.30
DAY OF THE SUN, WHICH IS WHERE
SUNDAY GETS ITS NAME - THEY
00:13:42.30\00:13:45.13
WORSHIPED THE SUN, PRINCIPALLY,
IN ROME - THAT WAS THEIR MAIN
00:13:45.13\00:13:47.43
GOD AS DID THE GREEKS AND
AS DID THE EGYPTIANS AND AS DID
00:13:47.43\00:13:50.80
THE BABYLONIANS.
00:13:50.80\00:13:52.16
THE PRINCIPAL DAY OF WORSHIP
WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK,
00:13:52.16\00:13:54.63
THE DAY OF THE SUN - NOT SO
WITH GOD'S PEOPLE - IT WAS THE
00:13:54.63\00:13:57.63
SEVENTH DAY, THE
LAST DAY OF THE WEEK.
00:13:57.63\00:14:00.66
CONSTANTINE THOUGHT, 'LOOK, I
WANT TO UNITE THE PAGANS AND THE
00:14:00.66\00:14:03.56
CHRISTIANS, LET'S HAVE
A UNIFORM DAY OF WORSHIP.'
00:14:03.56\00:14:06.66
AND SO, YOU CAN READ THIS EDICT
- BY THE WAY, I'M READING FROM
00:14:06.66\00:14:08.53
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA -
"THE EARLIEST RECOGNITION OF THE
00:14:08.53\00:14:12.50
OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY IS A
CONSTITUTION OF CONSTANTINE IN
00:14:12.50\00:14:17.53
321 AD ENACTING THAT ALL COURTS
OF JUSTICE, INHABITANTS OF
00:14:17.53\00:14:21.80
TOWNS, AND WORKSHOPS
WERE TO BE AT REST ON SUNDAY."
00:14:21.80\00:14:26.06
THAT'S NOT MY CHURCH
TEACHING, IT'S HISTORY FRIENDS.
00:14:26.06\00:14:30.93
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA.
00:14:30.93\00:14:32.70
AND GRADUALLY, THE MAIN CHURCH
IN TOWN WAS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
00:14:32.70\00:14:35.93
CHURCH AND THE ORTHODOX
CHURCH THAT SPLIT AWAY -
00:14:35.93\00:14:38.60
BUT CONSTANTINE
INFLUENCED THEM BOTH.
00:14:38.60\00:14:42.90
NOW, SOMEONE'S GOING TO SAY,
'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, DOESN'T THE
00:14:42.90\00:14:44.56
BIBLE SAY IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT WE DON'T NEED TO -
00:14:44.56\00:14:47.33
DON'T LET ANYONE
JUDGE YOU ABOUT THE SABBATH
00:14:47.33\00:14:49.10
ANYMORE, IT'S DONE AWAY WITH.'
AND THEY QUOTE THIS VERSE,
00:14:49.10\00:14:52.53
COLOSSIANS CHAPTER 2 - SOMEONE'S
GOING TO RUN TO YOU WITH THIS -
00:14:52.53\00:14:55.30
OR ROMANS 14, ONE OF THE TWO.
00:14:55.30\00:14:57.70
AND THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS,
"BLOTTING OUT THE HANDWRITINGS
00:14:57.70\00:15:00.63
OF ORDINANCES THAT WAS AGAINST
US, WHICH WAS CONTRARY TO US,
00:15:00.63\00:15:05.76
AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY
NAILING IT TO THE CROSS, HAVING
00:15:05.76\00:15:09.03
SPOILED
PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS.
00:15:09.03\00:15:12.06
HE MADE A SHOW OF THEM OPENLY
TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT."
00:15:12.06\00:15:15.63
HERE - HERE'S THE PART YOU
ESPECIALLY NEED TO NOTICE - "LET
00:15:15.63\00:15:18.70
NO MAN, THEREFORE, JUDGE YOU IN
FOOD, OR IN DRINK, OR IN RESPECT
00:15:18.70\00:15:23.66
OF A HOLIDAY OR THE NEW MOON,
OR SABBATH DAYS" - AND THEY STOP
00:15:23.66\00:15:28.03
RIGHT THERE.
00:15:28.03\00:15:29.06
FIRST OF ALL, DOES IT
SAY 'THE SABBATH DAY'?
00:15:29.06\00:15:31.46
OR IS IT SABBATH
DAYS - SMALL 'S' - PLURAL?
00:15:31.46\00:15:35.63
SABBATH DAYS.
00:15:35.63\00:15:36.90
DID THE JEWS HAVE
OTHER SABBATH DAYS?
00:15:36.90\00:15:39.50
ANNUAL SABBATH DAYS THAT HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WEEKLY
00:15:39.50\00:15:42.66
COMMANDMENT?
00:15:42.66\00:15:44.30
THEY WERE ANNUAL FEASTS -
THEY CAME YEARLY, NOT WEEKLY.
00:15:44.30\00:15:49.13
THEY WERE NOT PART
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:15:49.13\00:15:51.46
NOW, JUST SO YOU KNOW THE
CONTEXT OF THIS VERSE, I BELIEVE
00:15:51.46\00:15:54.36
WE SHOULD DO A
THOROUGH EXEGESIS OF THIS.
00:15:54.36\00:15:58.00
IT SAYS, "THESE SABBATH DAYS
ARE SHADOWS OF THINGS TO COME."
00:15:58.00\00:16:02.90
THESE ARE THE OLD JEWISH
CEREMONIAL SABBATH DAYS LIKE
00:16:02.90\00:16:06.43
PASSOVER AND FEAST OF TRUMPETS
- YOU'VE HEARD OF YOM KIPPUR AND
00:16:06.43\00:16:09.86
DAY OF ATONEMENT - THESE
WERE THE ANNUAL SABBATH DAYS
00:16:09.86\00:16:12.73
THE JEWS HAD.
00:16:12.73\00:16:13.50
CHRISTIANS DON'T NEED TO
KEEP THOSE, THEY WERE SHADOWS -
00:16:13.50\00:16:16.86
THAT'S THE CONTEXT.
00:16:16.86\00:16:17.56
DON'T LET SOMEONE ABUSE THAT
VERSE AND TELL YOU THAT GOD IS
00:16:17.56\00:16:20.13
GETTING RID OF ONE
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:16:20.13\00:16:23.10
LOOK AT HOW WE BREAK
DOWN THAT VERSE AGAIN.
00:16:23.10\00:16:26.43
IT SAYS, IN 2 CHRONICLES 33,
VERSE 8, "THEY ARE CAREFUL TO DO
00:16:26.43\00:16:30.60
ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED
THEM" - GOD SAYS - "ACCORDING
00:16:30.60\00:16:34.03
TO ALL THE LAW AND THE STATUTES
AND THE ORDINANCES BY THE
00:16:34.03\00:16:37.96
HAND OF MOSES."
00:16:37.96\00:16:38.96
IT SAYS, 'DON'T LET ANYONE JUDGE
YOU CONCERNING THE ORDINANCES
00:16:38.96\00:16:42.33
BY THE HAND OF MOSES.
00:16:42.33\00:16:45.23
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE NOT
WRITTEN BY THE HAND OF MOSES.
00:16:45.23\00:16:48.50
IT WAS THE FINGER OF GOD.
00:16:48.50\00:16:51.03
AND HE SAID, "TAKE THIS BOOK OF
THE LAW" - THIS IS NOT THE TEN
00:16:51.03\00:16:53.36
COMMANDMENTS, IT WAS A BOOK -
NOT THE TABLETS OF STONE - AND
00:16:53.36\00:16:57.20
THEY WERE TO PUT IT BESIDE THE
COVENANT OF THE LORD YOUR GOD -
00:16:57.20\00:17:01.03
IN A POCKET OUTSIDE THE ARK.
00:17:01.03\00:17:02.76
THE JEWISH LAWS WERE
THERE, THEY WERE NOT IN THE ARK,
00:17:02.76\00:17:06.00
THEY HAD PASSED AWAY
- THEY WERE ON PAPER.
00:17:06.00\00:17:08.63
"THAT IT MIGHT BE A WITNESS
AGAINST YOU." NOTICE THOSE WORDS
00:17:08.63\00:17:11.13
'AGAINST YOU.' NOW I'M
GOING TO JUMP BACK AND SHOW YOU
00:17:11.13\00:17:14.70
COLOSSIANS CHAER 14 AGAIN.
00:17:14.70\00:17:16.76
WHAT SABBATH DAYS IS HE TELLING
US NOT TO LET ANYONE JUDGE US
00:17:16.76\00:17:20.03
REGARDING?
00:17:20.03\00:17:21.23
I HOPE YOU CAN SEE THIS
OKAY, IT SAYS, "BLOTTING OUT THE
00:17:21.23\00:17:23.86
HANDWRITING" - THE LAW OF MOSES
WAS WRITTEN BY THE HAND OF MOSES
00:17:23.86\00:17:29.60
- "THE ORDINANCES
THAT WERE AGAINST US."
00:17:29.60\00:17:32.76
SO, JUST CONTEXTUALIZE
'WHAT IS PAUL TALKING ABOUT?'
00:17:32.76\00:17:35.93
THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD?
00:17:35.93\00:17:37.46
THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK?
00:17:37.46\00:17:38.43
OR IS HE TALKING ABOUT
THE JEWISH SABBATH DAYS?
00:17:38.43\00:17:40.60
AGAIN, NOTICE, 'ORDINANCES,
HAND OF MOSES, BOOK OF THE LAW,
00:17:40.60\00:17:43.90
AGAINST YOU' -
THE VERY SAME WORDING.
00:17:43.90\00:17:46.20
THE IS WHAT PAUL IS
TALKING ABOUT - IT'S THE
00:17:46.20\00:17:48.03
CEREMONIAL SABBATHS.
00:17:48.03\00:17:50.03
IS THAT CLEAR TO YOU?
00:17:50.03\00:17:51.53
DO YOU KNOW WHAT CONVINCED
ME ON THIS SUBJECT, FRIENDS?
00:17:51.53\00:17:55.90
YOU'VE GOT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
YOU'VE GOT THE CEREMONIAL LAW -
00:17:55.90\00:17:58.23
WHEN I FIRST LEARNED THIS
I BEGAN TO VISIT DIFFERENT
00:17:58.23\00:18:00.76
CHURCHES.
00:18:00.76\00:18:01.86
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO BE AN
ODDBALL, I WAS ALREADY PRETTY
00:18:01.86\00:18:04.23
ODD, AND SO D GO TO THE
DIFFERENT PASTORS AND EVERY
00:18:04.23\00:18:07.96
PASTOR I ASKED ABOUT THE TRUTH
REGARDING THE SABBATH, THEY GAVE
00:18:07.96\00:18:12.46
ME DIFFERENT ANSWERS.
00:18:12.46\00:18:14.20
AND I KNOW THERE ARE
GOOD PEOPLE IN MANY CHURCHES.
00:18:14.20\00:18:16.43
I HAVE TAUGHT AND PREACHED AND
WORSHIPED IN NAZARENE CHURCHES,
00:18:16.43\00:18:20.63
ASSEMBLY OF GOD, PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCHES, FOUR-SQUARE CHURCHES,
00:18:20.63\00:18:24.10
BAPTIST CHURCHES, CATHOLIC
CHURCHES, METHODIST CHURCHES - I
00:18:24.10\00:18:26.80
MEAN, I'VE BEEN TO HUNDREDS
OF DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS,
00:18:26.80\00:18:30.00
SO I KNOW WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE.
00:18:30.00\00:18:32.50
ONE PASTOR SAID, 'BROTHER DOUG,
YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT
00:18:32.50\00:18:35.10
THE SABBATH ANYMORE, JESUS
ROSE THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK,
00:18:35.10\00:18:37.86
THAT IS OUR NEW SABBATH.
00:18:37.86\00:18:39.46
I SAID, 'WELL, THAT SOUNDS
BEAUTIFUL PASTOR,' I SAID,
00:18:39.46\00:18:41.56
'DO WE HAVE A VERSE?'
'WELL,' HE SAID, 'THERE'S NOT
00:18:41.56\00:18:44.46
REALLY A VERSE THAT
TELLS US THAT, BUT WE'VE GOT
00:18:44.46\00:18:46.33
A LONG-STANDING TRADITION.'
THAT DIDN'T CUT IT WITH ME,
00:18:46.33\00:18:50.90
YOU KNOW WHY?
00:18:50.90\00:18:52.46
WHEN GOD GAVE THE SABBATH
COMMANDMENT, HE SPOKE IT WITH
00:18:52.46\00:18:55.73
HIS OWN VOICE AND
WROTE IT WITH HIS OWN FINGER.
00:18:55.73\00:18:58.10
IF HE WAS GOING TO CHANGE A LAW
THAT PEOPLE WERE KEEPING EVERY
00:18:58.10\00:19:01.63
WEEK, THE NEW TESTAMENT
WOULD BE FILLED WITH DEBATE.
00:19:01.63\00:19:05.16
DO YOU THINK IF THE
WEEKLY SABBATH - ONE OF THE
00:19:05.16\00:19:07.10
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, WRITTEN
IN STONE, SPOKEN BY HIS VOICE -
00:19:07.10\00:19:10.30
HAD BEEN CHANGED IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT, WHY IS IT SILENT?
00:19:10.30\00:19:14.66
BECAUSE IT DIDN'T CHANGE.
00:19:14.66\00:19:16.56
THE - JESUS KEPT IT.
00:19:16.56\00:19:18.83
THE APOSTLES KEPT IT.
00:19:18.83\00:19:20.23
THE EARLY CHURCH KEPT IT.
00:19:20.23\00:19:21.33
IT WASN'T UNTIL HUNDREDS
OF YEARS LATER THEY BEGAN
00:19:21.33\00:19:24.13
TO CHANGE IT.
00:19:24.13\00:19:26.56
AND NOT ONLY DID THEY CHANGE THE
TIME, THEY CHANGED THE WAY SO
00:19:26.56\00:19:29.33
THAT PEOPLE AREN'T
REALLY KEEPING ANYTHING ANYMORE.
00:19:29.33\00:19:32.93
WHY DID GOD MAKE
THE SABBATH ANYWAY?
00:19:32.93\00:19:36.13
TAKE AWAY A DAY OF
RECREATION FROM US?
00:19:36.13\00:19:38.90
NO, IT'S ACTUALLY A
REAL DAY OF RE-CREATION.
00:19:38.90\00:19:43.03
THAT'S WHERE YOU REALLY
EXPERIENCE RE-CREATION -
00:19:43.03\00:19:45.76
THAT BLESSED TIME WITH GOD.
00:19:45.76\00:19:47.20
EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 12, "MOREOVER
I GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS TO BE A
00:19:47.20\00:19:51.60
SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THEM, SAYS
THE LORD, THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW
00:19:51.60\00:19:55.86
THAT I AM THE LORD
WHO SANCTIFIES THEM."
00:19:55.86\00:19:59.16
NOW, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
YOU, BUT I NEED SANCTIFYING.
00:19:59.16\00:20:02.36
BECAUSE GOD COULD SANCTIFY
THIS DAY, HE'S ALSO SAYING,
00:20:02.36\00:20:06.70
'I CAN SANCTIFY YOU.' HOW
MANY OF YOU NEED YOUR HEARTS
00:20:06.70\00:20:10.00
SANCTIFIED, MADE HOLY, MADE NEW?
00:20:10.00\00:20:12.46
NOT ONLY THAT, IT'S
A MEMORIAL OF CREATION.
00:20:12.46\00:20:16.13
SEE, EVERY SABBATH DAY WE'RE
REMEMBERING THAT GOD CREATED
00:20:16.13\00:20:18.36
EVERYTHING IN SIX DAYS.
00:20:18.36\00:20:21.13
DO WE STILL NEED TO BE
REMINDED HE CAN RECREATE US?
00:20:21.13\00:20:24.33
EVERY SABBATH WE REMEMBER THAT.
00:20:24.33\00:20:26.73
NOW, I KNOW WHAT SOME OF
YOU ARE THINKING RIGHT NOW.
00:20:26.73\00:20:28.96
YOU SAY, 'PASTOR DOUG, BOY I'VE
LEARNED A LOT OF THINGS VERY
00:20:28.96\00:20:32.96
QUICKLY.
00:20:32.96\00:20:34.00
I NEED TO PROCESS THIS.'
WELL, THE LORD WANTS YOU TO BE
00:20:34.00\00:20:36.66
ABLE TO PROCESS IT TOO, BUT
THE FIRST THING THAT I'D LIKE TO
00:20:36.66\00:20:40.36
APPEAL THAT YOU DO - IF WHAT
I'M SAYING MAKES SENSE, SAY 'YOU
00:20:40.36\00:20:45.76
KNOW, THIS SOUNDS LIKE
TRUTH TO ME' ACCEPT THAT.
00:20:45.76\00:20:50.90
DON'T START TRYING TO
RATIONALIZE AWAY THE TRUTH.
00:20:50.90\00:20:53.36
ACCEPT THE TRUTH.
00:20:53.36\00:20:54.03
DON'T START THINKING, 'I DON'T
KNOW HOW IN THE WORLD - WHAT'S
00:20:54.03\00:20:56.26
THIS GOING TO MEAN TO MY LIFE?'
SEE, WHEN I TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT
00:20:56.26\00:20:59.20
POINTS OF THEOLOGY THAT JUST
CHANGE YOUR THINKING, THAT'S ALL
00:20:59.20\00:21:02.20
IT DOES IS SOMETIMES IT
JUST CHANGES YOUR THINKING.
00:21:02.20\00:21:04.60
BUT WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THE TRUTH
ABOUT WORSHIPING GOD ON THE
00:21:04.60\00:21:07.26
SABBATH, IT AFFECTS OUR
LIVES IF WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT,
00:21:07.26\00:21:10.56
DOESN'T IT?
00:21:10.56\00:21:12.06
IT AFFECTS THE DAYS OF OUR WEEK.
00:21:12.06\00:21:14.26
GROWING UP, SOMETIMES IT
WAS EASIER FOR MY RICH FATHER TO
00:21:14.26\00:21:16.76
SAY, 'I'M BUSY, HERE'S
TEN DOLLARS, GO DO SOMETHING.'
00:21:16.76\00:21:21.53
I WANTED MY FATHER'S TIME
AND IT WAS EASIER FOR HIM TO
00:21:21.53\00:21:24.40
GIVE ME TEN DOLLARS
THAN TO GIVE ME A DAY.
00:21:24.40\00:21:28.16
AND, YOU KNOW, NOW THAT
HE'S GONE, WHAT DO YOU THINK I
00:21:28.16\00:21:30.03
REALLY MISS?
00:21:30.03\00:21:31.43
THOSE TEN DOLLARS?
00:21:31.43\00:21:33.06
OR TIME?
00:21:33.06\00:21:35.40
GOD WANTS YOUR TIME.
00:21:35.40\00:21:37.63
A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY, 'I
LOVE YOU LORD, I LOVE YOU LORD.'
00:21:37.63\00:21:39.63
AND WE'VE GOT BUMPER
STICKERS IN THE STATES THAT SAY,
00:21:39.63\00:21:41.30
'IF YOU LOVE JESUS, HONK.
00:21:41.30\00:21:42.10
HONK YOUR HORN.' WE'VE
GOT A LOT OF CHRISTIANS
00:21:42.10\00:21:45.70
OUT THERE THAT JUST HONK.
00:21:45.70\00:21:46.83
'HALLELUJAH' - HONK,
HONK - 'I LOVE YOU LORD.'
00:21:46.83\00:21:49.53
AND HE SAYS, 'LOOK, IF
YOU LOVE ME, DON'T HONK.
00:21:49.53\00:21:53.86
WORSHIP ME.
00:21:53.86\00:21:54.83
GIVE ME YOUR
TIME.' WORDS ARE CHEAP.
00:21:54.83\00:21:57.80
TIME IS PRECIOUS.
00:21:57.80\00:22:00.33
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT'S TRUE AND
PRAY GOD WILL TELL YOU WHERE TO
00:22:00.33\00:22:03.66
GO NEXT.
00:22:03.66\00:22:04.96
PRAY GOD'LL TELL
YOU WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
00:22:04.96\00:22:06.60
DOES THAT SOUND REASONABLE?
00:22:06.60\00:22:08.30
BUT DON'T LIE TO YOURSELF.
00:22:08.30\00:22:10.26
THAT'S WHEN PEOPLE START
GOING DOWN THE WRONG ROAD.
00:22:10.26\00:22:14.96
DOES SABBATH-KEEPING
REALLY AFFECT ME PERSONALLY?
00:22:14.96\00:22:19.80
JESUS SAID, 'COME UNTO ME ALL
YOU WHO ARE LABOR - WHO LABOR -
00:22:19.80\00:22:24.60
AND ARE HEAVY-LADEN
AND I'LL GIVE YOU' - WHAT?
00:22:24.60\00:22:27.96
HE SAID, 'I'LL GIVE YOU REST.'
THAT'S WHAT THE WORD SABBATH IS
00:22:27.96\00:22:31.96
ALL ABOUT.
00:22:31.96\00:22:32.40
DO YOU KNOW THE VERY WORD
'SABBATH' - IF YOU BREAK IT DOWN
00:22:32.40\00:22:35.26
IN ITS MOST PRIMITIVE HEBREW
IT'S TALKING ABOUT SA - IT HAS
00:22:35.26\00:22:41.13
TO DO WITH SHA - IN HEBREW
YOU DON'T SAY 'SA' IT'S 'SHA' -
00:22:41.13\00:22:44.33
SHABBAT - IT COMES FROM THE SAME
ROOT WORD AS 'SHALOM' OR PEACE.
00:22:44.33\00:22:49.96
IN HEBREW 'ABBA' -
WHO KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
00:22:49.96\00:22:53.06
FATHER.
00:22:53.06\00:22:54.60
IT'S SAYING - AND THE REST OF
THE WORD 'AT' IS TALKING ABOUT
00:22:54.60\00:22:57.73
HOUSE.
00:22:57.73\00:22:59.30
IT'S SAYING, 'PEACE
IN THE FATHER'S HOUSE.'
00:22:59.30\00:23:03.60
JESUS SAID, 'I'VE GONE
TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.
00:23:03.60\00:23:05.90
IN MY FATHER'S
HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS.'
00:23:05.90\00:23:08.90
FRIENDS, THIS IS JUST SOMETHING
VERY ELEMENTARY AND THE WORLD
00:23:08.90\00:23:11.93
HAS BEEN BAMBOOZLED - IT'S A
HOAX THAT'S BEEN PERPETRATED,
00:23:11.93\00:23:16.13
NOT ON THE WORLD
ONLY, BUT ON THE CHURCH.
00:23:16.13\00:23:19.96
AND IN THE LAST DAYS GOD IS
PEELING AWAY THE DECEPTION THAT
00:23:19.96\00:23:23.06
HAS CAUGHT SO MANY AND
HE'S CALLING PEOPLE BACK.
00:23:23.06\00:23:26.16
JESUS SAID, I'VE GOT MANY
SHEEP THAT ARE NOT IN THIS FOLD.
00:23:26.16\00:23:30.03
HE'S GOT SHEEP EVERYWHERE, BUT
BEFORE HE COMES BACK, THERE'S
00:23:30.03\00:23:33.26
ONLY TWO CHOICES - WE'VE GOT THE
SEAL OF GOD - WE'VE GOT THE MARK
00:23:33.26\00:23:35.86
OF THE BEAST AND THEY
BOTH REVOLVE AROUND WORSHIP.
00:23:35.86\00:23:38.70
AND PEOPLE BY THE MILLNS ALL
OVER THE WORLD ARE BEING CALLED
00:23:38.70\00:23:41.83
TOGETHER BACK TO BIBLICAL TRUTH.
00:23:41.83\00:23:45.23
I'M NOT ASKING YOU ABOUT
DENOMINATIONALISM, I'M ASKING
00:23:45.23\00:23:48.66
YOU TO FOLLOW THE
WORD OF GOD, FRIENDS.
00:23:48.66\00:23:51.36
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE A
BIBLE CHRISTIAN AND IF YOU CAN
00:23:51.36\00:23:53.33
UNDERSTAND LAST-DAY PROPHECY,
ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE GOT TO
00:23:53.33\00:23:56.86
GET RIGHT IS HAVE WE
GIVEN GOD OUR HEARTS?
00:23:56.86\00:23:59.83
DO WE WORSHIP HIM?
00:23:59.83\00:24:01.96
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE
THAT REST THAT JESUS OFFERS?
00:24:01.96\00:24:05.33
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS SUMMED UP
IN TWO GREAT STATEMENTS OF JESUS
00:24:05.33\00:24:09.66
YOU CAN FIND IN
THE BOOK OF MATTHEW.
00:24:09.66\00:24:12.60
MATTHEW 11, JESUS SAID,
"COME UNTO ME," - IN VERSE 28 -
00:24:12.60\00:24:16.23
"ALL YOU WHO LABOR
AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST."
00:24:16.23\00:24:19.00
THAT'S WHAT THE SABBATH'S ABOUT.
00:24:19.00\00:24:20.50
IT'S A TIME OF REST.
00:24:20.50\00:24:22.96
AND THEN THE OTHER GREAT
COMMISSION IN MATTHEW 28, 'GO YE
00:24:22.96\00:24:27.06
THEREFORE AND TELL ALL
NATIONS.' GO AND TEACH.
00:24:27.06\00:24:31.10
THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING.
00:24:31.10\00:24:32.80
I'M INVITING PEOPLE TO COME
TO JESUS AND FIND REST AND I'M
00:24:32.80\00:24:35.70
GOING EVERYWHERE I CAN AND
TEACHING THEM BECAUSE THIS IS
00:24:35.70\00:24:39.26
THE TRUTH THAT
WILL SET YOU FREE.
00:24:39.26\00:24:41.00
THIS WILL BRING YOU
PEACE, IT'LL BRING YOU REST.
00:24:41.00\00:24:43.96
DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO
YOU THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT?
00:24:43.96\00:24:47.03
THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD, ARE THEY IMPORTANT?
00:24:47.03\00:24:49.50
WHEN GOD SAYS, 'REMEMBER'
DOES HE MEAN REMEMBER?
00:24:49.50\00:24:52.93
YOU NOTICE HE DOESN'T SAY,
'REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY AND
00:24:52.93\00:24:55.53
MAKE IT HOLY.'
IT ALREADY IS HOLY.
00:24:55.53\00:24:59.00
HE SAID, 'I MADE IT
HOLY, I WANT YOU TO KEEP IT
00:24:59.00\00:25:01.50
THE WAY I MADE
IT.' >>STAY TUNED.
00:25:01.50\00:25:05.93

THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL OFFER.
