PB:  Father, in the name of
Jesus, through the intercession
00:00:20.28\00:00:21.75
of the Holy Spirit,
come in this place tonight.
00:00:21.78\00:00:23.79
God, we have been ministered
to through song and through
00:00:23.82\00:00:28.19
fellowship, but Lord, we need a
word from You. So God, this is
not a popular word,
00:00:28.22\00:00:33.09
it's not an easy word,
but God, I trust You tonight,
00:00:33.13\00:00:36.20
and I'm going to do
what you told me to do. God,
00:00:36.23\00:00:40.04
I'm going to cry
aloud and spare not,
00:00:40.07\00:00:42.37
because Your people
need to hear Your word,
00:00:42.40\00:00:44.54
because Lord, we
want to be saved.
00:00:44.57\00:00:46.81
We want to be
saved when You come.
00:00:46.84\00:00:49.71
So God, any
demonic imp that's seeking
00:00:49.74\00:00:53.48
entrance in this place tonight,
00:00:53.52\00:00:55.98
in the name of
Jesus stop them right now.
00:00:56.02\00:00:58.52
Any demonic
distraction that is trying to
00:00:58.55\00:01:01.49
gain entrance in this sanctuary,
00:01:01.52\00:01:03.36
in Jesus' name
stop them right now.
00:01:03.39\00:01:07.13
Lord, I'm a child of the King.
00:01:07.13\00:01:09.66
God, we're a royal
priesthood, a chosen generation.
00:01:09.70\00:01:13.54
You're calling us out of
darkness into Your marvelous
00:01:13.57\00:01:17.01
light. So move in this
place we pray. And God,
00:01:17.04\00:01:21.38
I promise that we
will give You the praise,
00:01:21.41\00:01:23.41
the honor, and the
glory for what You're going
00:01:23.45\00:01:28.08
to do tonight. So
give us open minds,
00:01:28.12\00:01:31.32
give us receptive
hearts, and may Thy people
00:01:31.35\00:01:35.06
not see me but see
Thee living, and living and
00:01:35.09\00:01:38.46
speaking through me;
that people not hear my voice,
00:01:38.49\00:01:42.06
but God, they would hear
Your voice. Because Lord,
00:01:42.10\00:01:45.07
when Your people hear Your
voice, because God said it,
00:01:45.10\00:01:49.37
that settles it. So may Your
people hear Your voice tonight,
00:01:49.40\00:01:52.67
we pray. It's in
Jesus' name we pray this pray
00:01:52.71\00:01:57.61

things. Let everyone say amen.

00:02:17.00\00:02:18.97

00:02:25.44\00:02:27.08
And we're going

are seven days in a week
in 2017, at the creation week
00:02:39.52\00:02:42.96
there seven days in a week.
Genesis 1:1. The Word of God
00:02:42.99\00:02:46.76
says, "In the beginning God
created the heavens and
the"--what, everybody?
00:02:46.80\00:02:48.90
Aud.:  Earth.   PB:  "And
the earth was without form
00:02:48.93\00:02:51.37
and"--what? Aud.:  Void.   PB:
 "Darkness was upon the face of
00:02:51.40\00:02:53.57
the deep. And the Spirit of
God moved upon the face of the
00:02:53.60\00:02:56.07
waters. And God said, Let there
be"--what, everybody?   Aud.:
00:02:56.10\00:02:59.07
Light. PB:  "And there

the light, that it was good:
00:03:00.98\00:03:02.48
and God divided the
light from the darkness.
00:03:02.51\00:03:03.88
And God called the
light Day, and the darkness
00:03:03.91\00:03:05.38
he called Night. And
the evening and the morning
00:03:05.41\00:03:06.68
were the"--what day,
everybody? Aud.:  First.
00:03:06.72\00:03:08.15
PB:  They were the
first day. So, biblically a
00:03:08.18\00:03:10.22
day is defined as evening
and morning. Which means,
00:03:10.25\00:03:14.96
in our humanity right
now, it's Friday night.
00:03:14.99\00:03:15.96
Biblically, however,
we've moved into Saturday,
00:03:15.99\00:03:22.13
because the Bible says the
evening and the what, everybody?
00:03:22.16\00:03:25.03

The evening and the what,
00:03:25.07\00:03:28.17

00:03:28.20\00:03:29.64

"And God said, Let there
be a firmament in the midst
00:03:35.38\00:03:38.08
of the waters, and let it divide
the waters from the waters.
00:03:38.11\00:03:39.55
And God made the firmament,
and divided the waters which
00:03:39.58\00:03:41.58
were under the firmament
from the waters which were above
00:03:41.62\00:03:43.39
the firmament: and it was
so. And God called the firmament
00:03:43.42\00:03:46.55
Heaven." Everybody say

and let the dry land
appear: and it was so.
00:04:08.24\00:04:10.05
And God called the dry
land Earth; and the gathering
00:04:10.08\00:04:11.98
together of the waters
called he Seas: and God saw that
00:04:12.01\00:04:14.32
it was good. And God said,
Let the earth bring forth grass,

the herb yielding seed, and
the fruit tree yielding fruit
00:04:16.75\00:04:19.39
after his kind, whose seed
is in itself, upon the earth:
00:04:19.42\00:04:21.96
and it was so. And the
earth brought forth grass,
00:04:21.99\00:04:23.96
and herb yielding seed
after his kind, and the tree
00:04:23.99\00:04:26.26

divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs,

and for seasons, and for
days, and years: And let them

be for lights in the
firmament of the heaven to give
00:04:54.92\00:04:56.89

because on day four God
created the sun, the moon,

and the stars. But the
Bible says that before He
00:05:20.82\00:05:23.65
even created the sun, the
moon, and the stars on day four,
00:05:23.69\00:05:25.65

The Father, the Son,

The text never says "

And God let me make
man." But the text says,
00:07:47.10\00:07:48.93
"And God said Let us
make man." God the Father,
00:07:48.96\00:07:52.47
God the Son, God the
Holy Spirit. In the beginning
00:07:52.50\00:07:54.84
was the Word, and
the Word was with God,
00:07:54.87\00:07:56.81
and the Word was God,"
Because the Word became flesh.
00:07:56.84\00:07:59.64
God said, Let us make men in
our image after our likeness.
00:07:59.67\00:08:04.78
"And let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea,
00:08:04.81\00:08:07.55
and over the fowl of the
air, and over the cattle,
00:08:07.58\00:08:09.05
and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing
00:08:09.08\00:08:11.65
that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own"-
00:08:11.69\00:08:14.96
-what, everybody?  Aud.:  Image.
00:08:14.99\00:08:16.83
PB:  Come on, in His own
what, everybody?  Aud.:  Image.
00:08:16.86\00:08:18.26
PB:  If God created me in
His image, then I ain't junk,
00:08:18.29\00:08:20.43
and you ain't junk
either. [Aud. reaction]
00:08:20.46\00:08:21.73
PB:  So don't let
anybody tell you you're junk,
00:08:21.76\00:08:23.23
because you and I have been
created in the image of God,
00:08:23.26\00:08:24.97
and God doesn't
create junk. [Aud. reaction]
00:08:25.00\00:08:26.80
PB:  In the image of God,
created he what, everybody?
00:08:26.84\00:08:32.84
Aud.:  Man. PB:  "In the image
of God created he him; male
and"--what? Aud.:  Female.
00:08:32.87\00:08:38.25
PB:  Male and what?  Aud.:
Female.  PB:  Male and what?
00:08:38.28\00:08:41.98
Aud.:  Female. "Created
he them." Now, you can get
00:08:42.02\00:08:46.25
caught up in all this
foolishness if you want,
00:08:46.29\00:08:48.06
but if you're a
Bible-believing creature,
00:08:48.09\00:08:49.89
the Bible says God created male
and--what, everybody?  Aud.:
00:08:49.92\00:08:53.40
Female. PB:  The Bible does not
say God created male and male,
00:08:53.43\00:08:55.43
or female and female. The
Bible says God created male and
00:08:55.46\00:08:59.67
female. [Aud. reaction]  PB: 
And before there was a Supreme
Court, there was God.
00:08:59.70\00:09:03.20
[Aud. reaction]  PB:  Before
there was a country, there was
00:09:03.24\00:09:07.24
God. [Aud. reaction]  PB:
 God created male and what,
00:09:07.28\00:09:09.58
everybody? Aud.:  Female. 
[Aud. reaction] PB:  I know some
00:09:09.61\00:09:16.62
people don't like it when I just
tell it like it is, but God's
00:09:16.65\00:09:20.12
got my back. That's all I know,
God's got my back. God's got my
00:09:20.16\00:09:22.72
back. My wife loves me, my three
children love me, that's all I
00:09:22.76\00:09:24.46
need. Come on, say
amen.  Aud.:  Amen.
00:09:24.49\00:09:26.93
PB:  Verse 28, "And God
blessed them, and God said ,
00:09:26.96\00:09:28.43
Be fruitful, and multiply,

there is life, I have given

every green herb for meat:
and it was so. And God saw every

behold, it was very good. And

PB:  Don't be scared. On the

00:10:37.73\00:10:41.37
PB:  "God ended his
work which [God] had made;

00:10:44.91\00:10:47.81
PB:  On the seventh

00:10:47.84\00:10:50.01
Work, which he

00:10:50.05\00:10:51.78
PB:  And God did what on
the seventh day?  Aud.:  Rested.
00:10:51.81\00:10:54.55
PB:  Come on, He did
what, everybody?  Aud.:  Rested.
00:10:54.58\00:10:56.42
PB:  And he did what else?
Sanctified it, because that
00:10:56.45\00:10:59.19
ended, He had rested from all
His work, which God created and
00:10:59.22\00:11:02.12
made. So let's stop, 'cause
I'm a Bible-believing Christian.
00:11:02.16\00:11:05.43
If it ain't in the Word, it
doesn't deserve to be heard.
00:11:05.46\00:11:07.23
To the law and to the
testimony, if they speak not
00:11:07.23\00:11:09.03
according to this Word
it's because there is no
00:11:09.06\00:11:10.67
light in them. Tonight, I
don't need a paper to guide me.
00:11:10.70\00:11:13.50
I've got the Word of
God.  [Aud. reaction]
00:11:13.54\00:11:16.60
PB:  On the
seventh day, God rested.
00:11:16.64\00:11:18.34
God did what,
everybody?  Aud.: Rested.
00:11:18.37\00:11:19.84
PB:  He rested, and
then what else did he do?
00:11:19.87\00:11:21.91
He blessed it, and then
He did what? Sanctified it.
00:11:21.94\00:11:25.31
Which lets me know,
sanctification by definition
00:11:25.35\00:11:27.68
means to set aside.
To set apart. God set the
00:11:27.72\00:11:32.22
seventh day apart. Why
didn't he choose the fifth day?
00:11:32.25\00:11:34.32
He's God, He can do whatever
He wants to do. He's sovereign.
00:11:34.36\00:11:37.63
He doesn't have to ask
you or me for permission to do
00:11:37.66\00:11:40.00
as He wants. On day seven,
the Bible says God rested,
00:11:40.03\00:11:43.97
God blessed it, and God
sanctified it. There are seven
00:11:44.00\00:11:48.40
days in a week; in six days
He created or made something.
00:11:48.44\00:11:51.87
But on day seven, He instituted
the Sabbath. Ironically,
00:11:51.91\00:11:56.38
it's interesting that the
two things God instituted in
00:11:56.41\00:12:00.65
the Garden of Eden are the two
things the devil hates the most.
00:12:00.68\00:12:03.59
[Aud. reaction]  PB:  What
am I talking about? God created
00:12:03.62\00:12:08.39
light; God created
the firmament; God created
00:12:08.42\00:12:10.73
vegetation; God created the
sun, the moon, and the stars;
00:12:10.76\00:12:12.83
God created fish and fowl;
God created mammal and man.
00:12:12.86\00:12:15.83
Then God had the first
marriage, between Adam and Even.
00:12:15.86\00:12:19.07
God then instituted
marriage, and He instituted the
00:12:19.10\00:12:23.07
Sabbath--the two things
God instituted in Eden are
00:12:23.10\00:12:26.27
the two very things
the devil hates the most.
00:12:26.31\00:12:28.94
[Aud. reaction]   PB: 
Family and God's Sabbath.
00:12:28.98\00:12:37.19
So through deception, he
tries to get us all off kilter.
00:12:37.22\00:12:41.19
But the Bible is very clear. On
day seven God did three things:
00:12:41.22\00:12:43.63
He rested, He blessed it,
and He sanctified it. All right,
00:12:43.66\00:12:48.50
let's keep moving in the
Word. Go the book of Exodus.
00:12:48.53\00:12:50.17
Go to Exodus chapter 20. Exodus
chapter 20. Get in the Word.
00:12:50.20\00:12:55.80
Know what you believe,
know why you believe it,
00:12:55.84\00:12:57.74
know where it's found. We ain't
got time for play-preaching.
00:12:57.77\00:12:59.64
Ain't no time for cotton-candy
preaching. We've got terrorist
00:12:59.67\00:13:02.64
attacks; we've got Obamacare and
all this foolishness going on in
00:13:02.68\00:13:04.88
Washington. I've got to call it
like it is. I have a mandate
from God to do that.
00:13:04.91\00:13:07.78
All right, now, let's go to the
Word. Exodus chapter 20. Are you
00:13:07.82\00:13:11.59
there? Let me hear
you say amen.  Aud.: Amen.
00:13:11.62\00:13:13.19
PB:  The Word of God
says in Exodus chapter 20,
00:13:13.22\00:13:15.36
and we're going to
verse number 8. It says,
00:13:15.39\00:13:17.79
begins with the word what,
everybody?  Aud.:  Remember
00:13:17.83\00:13:20.96
PB:  Exodus
chapter 20, verse number 8.
00:13:21.00\00:13:23.26
What word does it
begin with? Aud.:  Remember.
00:13:23.30\00:13:26.47
PB:  All right, I'm just
making sure you're with me.
00:13:26.50\00:13:28.30
It begins with what word,
everybody?  Aud.:  Remember.
00:13:28.34\00:13:29.84
PB:  Now, God doesn't
make mistakes. So that means,
00:13:29.87\00:13:32.81
if God begins with
the word "remember,"
00:13:32.84\00:13:35.78
God knew what He
was talking about,
00:13:35.81\00:13:37.51
and God must have
known that somebody was going
00:13:37.55\00:13:40.32
to try to forget. So God
begins with the word "remember."
00:13:40.35\00:13:44.55
God does not begin
with the words "thou shalt"
00:13:44.59\00:13:47.82
or "thou shalt not,"
but God begins with the word
00:13:47.86\00:13:51.03
"remember." Everybody say
"remember."  Aud.:  Remember.
00:13:51.06\00:13:53.66
PB:  Remember the
what day? Aud.:  Sabbath.
00:13:53.70\00:13:55.26
PB:  To keep it what,
everybody? Aud.:  Holy.
00:13:55.30\00:13:56.90
PB:  "Six days shalt thou
labour, and do all thy work:
00:13:56.93\00:13:58.70
But the seventh day is
the"--what?  Aud.:  Sabbath.
00:13:58.73\00:14:00.50
PB:  "Of the LORD
thy"--what? Aud.:  God.
00:14:00.54\00:14:01.97
PB:  "In it thou shalt not
do any work, thou, nor thy son,
00:14:02.00\00:14:03.67
nor thy daughter, thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant,
00:14:03.71\00:14:05.41
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates:
00:14:05.44\00:14:07.44
For"--how many days?  Aud:  Six.
00:14:07.48\00:14:09.71
PB:  "In six days the LORD made
heaven and"--what?  Aud.: Earth.
00:14:09.74\00:14:11.41
PB:  "The sea, and
all that in them is,"
00:14:11.45\00:14:12.81
and what did He do on the
seventh day? He what?  Aud.:
00:14:12.85\00:14:14.92
Rested. PB:  "Rested the seventh
day: wherefore the LORD blessed
00:14:14.95\00:14:17.52
the sabbath day, and"--and
He did what, everybody?  Aud.:
00:14:17.55\00:14:20.09
Hallowed it. PB:  This is just
a restatement of what we read in
00:14:20.12\00:14:23.02
Genesis 2. On day seven, God
ended His work, but God rested,
00:14:23.06\00:14:27.96
God blessed it, God sanctified
it. But in this instance it says
00:14:27.96\00:14:31.20
He hallowed it. Let's move some
more. Go to Exodus 31. Let's
keep going to Exodus 31.
00:14:31.23\00:14:39.64
Exodus 31, I've got to give you
the Word of God. Exodus chapter
00:14:39.67\00:14:44.78
31, verse number 12. Exodus
chapter 31, verse number 12.
00:14:44.81\00:14:50.89
The Word of God says to us
tonight in Exodus chapter 31,
00:14:50.92\00:14:54.42
verse number 12. Exodus
chapter 31, verse number 12.
00:14:54.46\00:14:58.19
If you have it, let me
hear you say amen.  Aud.:  Amen.
00:14:58.23\00:15:00.10
PB:  "And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
00:15:00.13\00:15:01.56
Speak thou also unto the
children of Israel, saying,
00:15:01.60\00:15:03.06
Verily my
sabbaths ye shall keep:
00:15:03.10\00:15:05.67
for it is a"--what,
everybody? Aud.:  Sign.
00:15:05.70\00:15:07.77
PB:  Sign. "Between me and
you throughout your generations;
00:15:07.80\00:15:09.57
that ye may know that I am
the LORD that doth sanctify you.
00:15:09.60\00:15:12.77
Ye shall keep the
sabbath therefore; for it is"-
00:15:12.81\00:15:14.94
-what unto you,
everybody? Aud.:  Holy.
00:15:14.98\00:15:16.44
PB:  "Every one that defileth
it shall surely be put to death:
00:15:16.48\00:15:18.65
for whosoever doeth any
work therein, that soul shall be
00:15:18.68\00:15:21.12
cut off from among his people.
Six days may work be done;
00:15:21.15\00:15:23.99
but in the seventh
is the sabbath of rest,
00:15:24.02\00:15:25.85
holy to the"--whom,
everybody? Aud.:  Lord.
00:15:25.89\00:15:27.82
PB:  "Whosoever doeth
any work in the sabbath day,
00:15:27.86\00:15:29.79
he shall surely be put to
death. Wherefore the children
00:15:29.82\00:15:31.89
of Israel shall keep the
sabbath, to observe the sabbath
00:15:31.93\00:15:33.90
throughout their generations,
for a perpetual [or ongoing]
00:15:33.93\00:15:37.67
covenant." It is a sign. It is a
what, everybody?   Aud.:  Sign.
00:15:37.70\00:15:40.24
PB:  Between me and the children
of Israel, for how long?Aud.:
00:15:40.27\00:15:43.07
Forever. PB:  "For in six days
the LORD made heaven and earth,
00:15:43.10\00:15:45.01
and on the seventh day he
rested, and was refreshed.
00:15:45.04\00:15:46.88
And he gave unto Moses, when
he had made an end of communing
00:15:46.91\00:15:50.01
with him upon Mount
Sinai, two tables of testimony,
00:15:50.05\00:15:52.55
tables of stone,
written with the finger of God."
00:15:52.58\00:15:56.48
Now, God's Word is clear that
God's Sabbath is a sign between
00:15:56.52\00:16:01.62
God and His people forever.
It is to be a perpetual,
00:16:01.66\00:16:05.29
or ongoing, covenant.
This is what God said. I can't
00:16:05.33\00:16:09.66
worry about what man is
saying, I've got to do what
00:16:09.70\00:16:11.70
God is saying. If I
really love God, if I really
00:16:11.73\00:16:14.84
want to follow God,
I've got to do what God says.
00:16:14.87\00:16:18.31
[Aud. reaction]  PB: 
God says, My Sabbath is to be
00:16:18.34\00:16:20.41
a sign between Me and My
people forever.  Aud.:  Amen.
00:16:20.44\00:16:25.41
PB:  Let's go to Leviticus
23. Leviticus chapter 23,
00:16:25.45\00:16:29.08
verse number 32. Now,
I really want to look at
00:16:29.12\00:16:39.36
that last part. Well,
what does it say? Leviticus 23,
00:16:39.39\00:16:42.16
let's do verse 3.
Leviticus 23, verse 3.
00:16:42.20\00:16:48.30
The Word of God
says in Leviticus 23:3.
00:16:48.34\00:16:51.27
If you have it, let
me hear you say amen.
00:16:51.31\00:16:53.07
Aud.:  Amen.  PB:  All
right, the Word of God:
00:16:53.11\00:16:56.11
"Six days shall
[your\ work be done:
00:16:56.14\00:16:57.88
but the seventh
day is the sabbath of"-
00:16:57.91\00:16:59.81
-what, everybody?  Aud.:  Rest.
00:16:59.85\00:17:01.58
PB:  Rest. "An holy convocation;
ye shall do no work therein:
00:17:01.62\00:17:05.89
it is the sabbath of the
LORD in all your dwellings."
00:17:05.92\00:17:07.72
Okay. So let's be clear, clear
with what the Bible is saying.
00:17:07.76\00:17:10.19
The Bible is saying that
the Sabbath is a day of rest,
00:17:10.23\00:17:15.53
but that it's also a holy
convocation. Now, when we talk
00:17:15.56\00:17:21.00
about a convocation--let's
say a youth convocation-
00:17:21.04\00:17:23.20
-we are taking about
a youth coming together.
00:17:23.24\00:17:25.34
We are talking
about a youth assembly.
00:17:25.37\00:17:27.78
When we call a
"senior adult convocation,"
00:17:27.81\00:17:29.98
we're saying this is a
senior adult gathering.
00:17:30.01\00:17:32.71
A senior adult assembly.
When the Bible says the
00:17:32.75\00:17:36.18
Sabbath is a holy
convocation, we are then saying
00:17:36.22\00:17:40.19
that the Sabbath is
a holy coming together.
00:17:40.22\00:17:43.26
The Sabbath is a holy
assembly. Which is why
00:17:43.29\00:17:46.09
I began tonight in my preamble
introduction letting you know,
00:17:46.13\00:17:49.13
I am a Seventh-day Adventist
Christian. I'm not trying
00:17:49.16\00:17:51.43
to knock anything or
anybody else, I'm really not.
00:17:51.47\00:17:54.00
I don't have time to do
that. I can't hate on somebody
00:17:54.04\00:17:56.54
else while trying to
build my own self up.
00:17:56.57\00:17:58.54
Are we clear, everybody? I am
here to preach the Word of God.
00:17:58.57\00:18:01.61
I come to church on
Saturday, God's Sabbath,
00:18:01.64\00:18:04.58
because the Bible says
it is to be a day of rest,
00:18:04.61\00:18:07.75
it is to be a day of
blessing, it is to be a day
00:18:07.78\00:18:11.19
that God sanctified.
But then the Bible says that
00:18:11.22\00:18:13.86
it's also a holy convocation.
It's a holy coming together.
00:18:13.89\00:18:18.16
It is a holy assembly. Are
you hearing what I'm saying?
00:18:18.19\00:18:20.73
[Aud. reaction]  PB: 
But then we ask ourselves,
00:18:20.76\00:18:22.20
is it just a holy coming
together? Is it just a holy
00:18:22.23\00:18:26.77
assembly? 'Cause somebody can
say all right, I observe God's
00:18:26.80\00:18:29.67
Sabbath, but I'm going to live
any way I want to live during
00:18:29.70\00:18:32.54
the week. I must sow my wild
oats during the week and then
00:18:32.57\00:18:35.78
pray for a crop failure on the
Sabbath. Is it just for me to
00:18:35.81\00:18:41.98
come together in a congregation
singing, and do whatever
00:18:42.02\00:18:44.89
I have to do and preach, and
then go on--no. Go to Isaiah.
00:18:44.92\00:18:47.09
Isaiah 58, verse number 13.
Isaiah 58, verse 13. Verse 14;
00:18:47.12\00:18:57.17
58:13 and 14. The Word of
God says in Isaiah 58:13 and 14-
00:18:57.20\00:19:03.81
-if you have it, let me hear
you say amen."   Aud.:  Amen.
00:19:03.84\00:19:05.71
PB:  "If thou turn away
thy foot from the sabbath,
00:19:05.74\00:19:07.71
from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day;
00:19:07.74\00:19:09.28
and call the sabbath a
delight, the holy of the LORD,
00:19:09.31\00:19:11.95
honourable; and shalt honour
him, not doing thine own ways,
00:19:11.98\00:19:13.92
nor [speaking] thine own
pleasure, nor speaking thine own
00:19:13.95\00:19:17.19
words: Then shalt thou delight
thyself in the LORD; and I will
00:19:17.22\00:19:19.39
cause thee to ride upon
the high places of the earth,
00:19:19.42\00:19:21.32
and feed thee with the
heritage of Jacob thy father:
00:19:21.36\00:19:23.02
for the mouth of the LORD
hath spoken it." All right,
00:19:23.06\00:19:26.16
so, so when we deal with
this, the Sabbath is supposed
00:19:26.19\00:19:29.16
to be a delight. That means
I'm supposed to look forward
00:19:29.20\00:19:32.70
to it. It's not supposed
to be a day where I'm oh,
00:19:32.73\00:19:36.14
here we go again. No. The
Sabbath is supposed to be a
00:19:36.17\00:19:40.98
delight. [Aud. reaction]   PB:
 Because it is my time with God.
00:19:41.01\00:19:44.85
I have a date with my God.
I have a date with the King
00:19:44.88\00:19:48.52
of kings and the Lord of lords.
Once per week, on His Sabbath.
00:19:48.55\00:19:53.92
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
I don't speak my own words.
00:19:53.96\00:19:57.76
I don't find my own pleasure.
I don't do my own ways,
00:19:57.79\00:20:04.07
because it's my time with
God. So because I don't speak
00:20:04.10\00:20:08.50
my own words, the conversation
I have during the week
00:20:08.54\00:20:11.01
is not what I have on
God's Sabbath. Because I don't
00:20:11.04\00:20:13.68
do my own pleasure.  I'm a
basketball fan. I am a fan,
00:20:13.71\00:20:18.41
fan, fan. But, Miami
Heat--in my opinion--they're
00:20:18.45\00:20:27.39
coming back one
year.  [Aud. reaction]
00:20:27.42\00:20:29.39
PB:  They come second
to God on God's Sabbath.
00:20:29.42\00:20:34.30
Because I'm not doing
my own pleasure. Okay, so,
00:20:34.36\00:20:38.13
I tell the story all
the time. It's like a date
00:20:38.17\00:20:40.24
with God that I have.
God's Sabbath, a date.
00:20:40.27\00:20:44.04
Now, you all know what a
date is. Come on, say amen.
00:20:44.07\00:20:45.94
Aud.:  Amen.   PB:  You
all know what a date is.
00:20:45.97\00:20:47.44
Come on, say amen.   Aud.: Amen.
00:20:47.48\00:20:48.84
PB:  All right, so, I
graduated from this institution
00:20:48.88\00:20:53.11
23 years ago. Okay. Twenty-three
years ago, I graduated.
00:20:53.15\00:20:59.89
Twenty-seven years ago, I
arrived. All right. And so,
00:20:59.92\00:21:06.03
23 years ago I was not
married. My wife and I will
00:21:06.06\00:21:11.23
be married this year
20 years. Aud.:  Amen.
00:21:11.27\00:21:14.67
[Applause]   PB: 
She's looking at me, saying
00:21:14.70\00:21:19.74
"where is he going
with this?" [Aud. reaction]
00:21:19.77\00:21:22.34
PB:  All right, so,
when I was here, I was not
00:21:22.38\00:21:27.62
privileged 23 years ago
to have what I now have.
00:21:27.65\00:21:33.79
So, when I took my
wife out on a date,
00:21:33.82\00:21:37.29
dates today are
Bravo, Cheesecake Factory,
00:21:37.33\00:21:47.77
ah, the Italian
place I like, Bongiano's.
00:21:47.80\00:21:53.44
Twenty-three years ago,
the dates were McDonald's--
00:21:53.48\00:22:00.18
[Aud. reaction]  PB: 
Burger King--  [Aud. reaction]
00:22:00.22\00:22:05.22
PB:  Don't act like you don't
know what I'm talking about.
00:22:05.25\00:22:06.86
Come on, say amen. Or better
yet, when it got real good,
00:22:06.89\00:22:11.99
let's go to Olive
Garden. [Aud. reaction]
00:22:12.03\00:22:14.20
PB:  Okay. So they come,
"What would you like, sir?"
00:22:14.20\00:22:16.80
"I'd just like,
you know, the salad."
00:22:16.83\00:22:19.07
"What would she
like?” "Salad." Ha ha ha ha.
00:22:19.10\00:22:23.54
[Aud. reaction]   PB: 
"What would you like to drink?"
00:22:23.57\00:22:26.64
"Water." [Aud. reaction] 
PB:  "Put some lemon in it."
00:22:26.68\00:22:28.21
"What would she like
to--?" "Water." Ha ha ha ha.
00:22:28.24\00:22:29.88
[Aud. reaction]   PB:  Ha
ha ha ha. But I'm at McDonald's
00:22:29.91\00:22:34.35
on a date with my wife,
and my attentions are on her.
00:22:34.38\00:22:39.95
I'm looking at her, in
her eyes. She's looking at me,
00:22:39.99\00:22:48.06
in her eyes. We're
going to McDonald's, yeah,
00:22:48.10\00:22:51.83
but you can super-size
that thing. Come on, say amen!
00:22:51.87\00:22:54.04
[Aud. reaction]   PB:
 People would walk by,
00:22:54.07\00:22:57.91
I'm not looking at them,
'cause I'm focused in on her.
00:22:57.94\00:23:01.28
Other people are talking,
but I'm not talking to them,
00:23:01.31\00:23:03.98
because I'm focused
in on her. On that date,
00:23:04.01\00:23:08.12
even though it was at
McDonald's, the Golden Arches,
00:23:08.15\00:23:10.19
I looked my best, I smelled
my best.  [Aud. reaction]
00:23:10.22\00:23:17.46
PB:  I'm acting my
best, because I'm on a date
00:23:17.49\00:23:22.76
with my wife. Every Saturday,
I've got a date with my Jesus.
00:23:22.80\00:23:30.01
[Aud. reaction]  PB:  My
conversation is not what all
00:23:30.04\00:23:35.88
you- -uh-uh, my date is
with God. And so when I come in
00:23:35.91\00:23:40.38
God's house for my date--I
know you all are saying, man,
00:23:40.42\00:23:45.65
you all was like getting
dressed up. Well, you know,
00:23:45.69\00:23:49.69
it's Friday night, it's
the Sabbath. Sunset Friday,
00:23:49.72\00:23:50.79
sunset Sabbath. My shoes
got to be shined, my suit's
00:23:50.83\00:23:52.59
got to be right. My
bow tie got to be nice,
00:23:52.63\00:23:55.56
because I have a date
with the Most High God.
00:23:55.60\00:24:00.07
[Aud. reaction]  PB: 
Now, if I were going to
00:24:00.10\00:24:01.67
meet President Obama---read
between the lines, ha ha--
00:24:01.70\00:24:06.01
[Aud. reaction]  PB:  I would
look my best, smell my best,
00:24:06.04\00:24:11.55
dress my best, because I'm
going to meet with the president
00:24:11.58\00:24:15.42
of the United
States. How much more so,
00:24:15.45\00:24:18.92
when I go meet the King
of kings-- [Aud. reaction]
00:24:18.95\00:24:20.96
PB:  The Lord of lords, in His
house for a holy convocation,
00:24:20.99\00:24:28.76
am I in tune with Him
and I'm giving Him my best.
00:24:28.80\00:24:33.23
Now, my best and Brother
Tate's best may be different.
00:24:33.27\00:24:36.91
But the good thing
about God is, He knows what my
00:24:36.94\00:24:39.34
best is and He knows what
his best is. Are you hearing
00:24:39.37\00:24:41.48
what I'm saying?
  [Aud. reaction]
00:24:41.51\00:24:43.65
PB:  Not speaking my own words,
not finding my own pleasure,
00:24:43.68\00:24:48.92
not doing my own ways,
because I'm on a date with God.
00:24:48.95\00:24:54.39
Isaiah 66. Isaiah
66. Isaiah 66, verse 22.
00:24:54.42\00:25:08.20
This is why this is so
important. 'Cause some people
00:25:08.24\00:25:12.01
think, well, that was done away
with, Pastor. You don't have to
00:25:12.04\00:25:14.94
worry about
that. Uh, Isaiah 66:23,
00:25:14.98\00:25:16.98
(PB:  NOTE: this text
actually begins with 22)
00:25:17.01\00:25:18.61
"For as the new heavens and the
new earth, which I will make,
00:25:18.65\00:25:20.05
shall remain before me, saith
the LORD, so shall your seed
00:25:20.08\00:25:21.92
and your name remain.
And it shall come to pass,
00:25:21.95\00:25:23.75
that from one
new moon to another,
00:25:23.79\00:25:25.19
and from one sabbath to
another, shall all flesh come
00:25:25.22\00:25:29.46
to worship before me,
saith the LORD." That means,
00:25:29.49\00:25:32.53
when we get to heaven, just
like we're worshipping God on
00:25:32.56\00:25:35.63
God's Sabbath on earth,
when we get to heaven all flesh,
00:25:35.66\00:25:38.90
the Bible says, shall come
worship God on God's Sabbath,
00:25:38.93\00:25:42.57
from one Sabbath to another.
Y'all don't hear what I'm
00:25:42.60\00:25:45.77
saying. [Aud. reaction]  PB: 
Well, God must have changed His
00:25:45.81\00:25:49.14
law, 'cause most people,
most Christians, don't accept
00:25:49.18\00:25:51.61
Saturday as the Sabbath. Or,
the Sabbath is done away with.
00:25:51.65\00:25:54.48
Pastor, what do you mean? Well,
let's end the Old Testament by
00:25:54.52\00:25:57.02
going to Malachi 3.
Let's go to Malachi 3,
00:25:57.05\00:26:00.89
and let's see what the
Word of God has to say about
00:26:00.92\00:26:02.92
God changing His law,
God changing His Sabbath.
00:26:02.96\00:26:06.09
The Word of God says in Malachi
chapter 3, verse number 6.
00:26:06.13\00:26:10.10
The Word says, "For I
am the LORD, I change not."
00:26:10.13\00:26:16.37
God does not change. We may
change--you know, some of you,
00:26:16.40\00:26:19.11
I don't know what day I'm going
to get you and what attitude
00:26:19.14\00:26:21.51
you're going to have on that
day--but I love me some God,
00:26:21.54\00:26:24.18
because God says "I am
the Lord, I change not."
00:26:24.21\00:26:26.95
You see Me today, you
see Me today, next year,
00:26:26.98\00:26:29.82
next week, whatever--I
am the Lord, I change not.
00:26:29.85\00:26:33.02
Think about it. If God
had changed the Sabbath,
00:26:33.05\00:26:34.99
we'd have bedlam.
All right, so Pastor,
00:26:35.02\00:26:40.36
maybe Jesus changed the Sabbath.
That was the Old Testament,
00:26:40.40\00:26:45.30
maybe Jesus changed the Sabbath.
Let's see what Jesus says.
00:26:45.33\00:26:49.07
Go to Matthew 5, verse
number 17. Matthew chapter 5,
00:26:49.10\00:26:54.78
verse number 17. 'Cause
it's very clear, the seventh
00:26:54.81\00:26:57.45
day is God's Sabbath. Matthew
chapter 5, verse number 17.
00:26:57.48\00:27:00.88
Jesus Himself speaking,
He says, "Think not that I am
00:27:00.92\00:27:03.99
come to destroy the law,
or the prophets: I am not
00:27:04.02\00:27:06.45
come to destroy, but to" do
what, everybody?  Aud.: Fulfill.
00:27:06.49\00:27:08.96
PB:  Fulfil. "For
verily I say unto you,
00:27:08.99\00:27:10.96
Till heaven and earth
pass, one jot or one tittle
00:27:10.99\00:27:12.16
shall in no wise
pass from the law,
00:27:12.19\00:27:13.36
till all be"--what,
everybody? Aud.:  Fulfilled.
00:27:13.40\00:27:15.00
PB:  Fulfilled. "Whosoever
therefore shall break one
00:27:15.03\00:27:17.30
of these least commandments,
and shall teach men so,
00:27:17.33\00:27:18.60
he shall be called the
least in the kingdom of heaven:
00:27:18.63\00:27:19.90
but whosoever
shall do and teach them,
00:27:19.93\00:27:21.54
the same shall be called"--what,
everybody?  Aud.:  Great.
00:27:21.57\00:27:24.34
PB:  "Great in the kingdom
of heaven." So Jesus says, look,
00:27:24.37\00:27:26.37
I didn't come to
change the law. I didn't come
00:27:26.41\00:27:29.04
to change My Sabbath. I
didn't come to change it,
00:27:29.08\00:27:31.68
but I came to
fulfill it.  Aud.: Amen.
00:27:31.71\00:27:34.35
PB:  That was not
just Old Testament,
00:27:34.38\00:27:37.02
I was doing it in the
New Testament. Well, Jesus,
00:27:37.05\00:27:39.25
what do you mean, you were
doing it in the New Testament?
00:27:39.29\00:27:40.76
I'm glad you asked.
Go to the book of Luke.
00:27:40.79\00:27:42.42
Know what you believe,
know why you believe it,
00:27:42.46\00:27:45.89

You're a
Bible-believing Christian,
00:27:47.66\00:27:48.93
let's read what
the Word of God says.
00:27:48.96\00:27:50.33
Luke chapter 4, verse
number 16. Jesus said,
00:27:50.37\00:27:54.00
"I didn't come to
do away with the law,
00:27:54.04\00:27:55.27
I came to fulfill
the law." Luke chapter 4,
00:27:55.30\00:27:57.27
verse number 16,
the Word of God says, "
00:27:57.31\00:27:59.21
And he came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up:
00:27:59.24\00:28:01.64
and, as his custom was,
he went into the synagogue."
00:28:01.68\00:28:04.08
Everybody say
"synagogue." ud.:  Synagogue.
00:28:04.11\00:28:06.11
PB:  Synagogue, which
was the Jewish church,
00:28:06.15\00:28:07.42
"on the sabbath day,
and stood up for to read.
00:28:07.45\00:28:08.98
And there was delivered
unto him the book of the
00:28:09.02\00:28:10.52
prophet Esaias. And
when he had opened the book,
00:28:10.55\00:28:12.39
he found the place
where it was written,
00:28:12.42\00:28:13.96
The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me, because he
