God created His people
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
in different cultures, countries
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.50
and in cities around the world.
00:00:04.53\00:00:08.67
He made the human race.
00:00:08.70\00:00:10.61
He made us one people under God.
00:00:10.64\00:00:13.64
At first, when you
see someone that looks
00:00:17.85\00:00:20.25
and acts differently
than you, you may turn away.
00:00:20.28\00:00:25.19
But take your time, look closer.
00:00:25.22\00:00:29.72
You will see that we
share the same dreams...
00:00:29.76\00:00:31.79
the same troubles...
00:00:34.90\00:00:36.23
the same world.
00:00:39.43\00:00:40.80
Open your minds and
hearts to one another.
00:00:44.24\00:00:47.11
Love each other as He loves us.
00:00:47.14\00:00:49.84
Do this for God,
honor His creation,
00:00:49.88\00:00:53.38
and let His love shine
through each one of us.
00:00:53.42\00:00:55.95
I'm John Carter in Moscow.
00:01:03.29\00:01:05.69
In Havana, Cuba.
00:01:05.73\00:01:08.36
Now in Kiev, the
capital of Ukraine.
00:01:08.40\00:01:11.67
I'm John Carter in Petra.
00:01:11.70\00:01:14.60
Right here in Communist China.
00:01:14.64\00:01:17.47
Reporting from India.
00:01:17.51\00:01:19.64
Hi, I'm John Carter
in the Solomon Islands.
00:01:19.67\00:01:22.54
I'm John Carter in Soweto.
00:01:22.58\00:01:25.15
From El Salvador.
00:01:25.18\00:01:27.42
I'm John Carter
in Sydney, Australia.
00:01:27.45\00:01:30.79
Genesis, All You Need To Know.
00:01:30.82\00:01:34.06
Now here is John
Carter with today's message.
00:01:34.09\00:01:36.73
Hi, friend, I'm John
Carter in Los Angeles,
00:01:40.53\00:01:43.60
where it has been 121 degrees,
00:01:43.63\00:01:48.10
the highest
temperature in recorded history.
00:01:48.14\00:01:52.51
And then we have
these great fires
00:01:52.54\00:01:54.54
that are blazing
across the Golden State.
00:01:54.58\00:01:58.98
That today is
not looking so golden
00:01:59.01\00:02:03.12
because we're surrounded
00:02:03.15\00:02:04.55
by a pool of thick, black smoke,
00:02:04.59\00:02:09.26
121 degrees just
a day or two ago.
00:02:09.29\00:02:14.56
These events are asking,
00:02:14.60\00:02:16.00
are leading people to ask
some very pertinent questions.
00:02:16.03\00:02:19.83
What's going on in the world?
00:02:19.87\00:02:22.44
What's going wrong?
00:02:22.47\00:02:26.47
Many people
00:02:26.51\00:02:27.84
who are serious
thinkers are saying,
00:02:27.88\00:02:30.95
what does it mean?
00:02:30.98\00:02:32.61
Where did we come from?
00:02:32.65\00:02:34.05
What? What is
the meaning to life?
00:02:34.08\00:02:37.35
What is the
origin of the human race?
00:02:37.39\00:02:41.56
And what's going to happen?
00:02:41.59\00:02:42.92
Are their answers
to the human dilemma?
00:02:42.96\00:02:47.63
Now today, ladies and gentlemen,
00:02:47.66\00:02:49.33
I'm going to talk
about a tremendous subject.
00:02:49.36\00:02:52.10
I want you to stay
with me and listen to it
00:02:52.13\00:02:55.00
from beginning to
end if you don't mind.
00:02:55.04\00:02:58.81
Today, we're
talking about Genesis.
00:02:58.84\00:03:03.04
All you need to know,
00:03:03.08\00:03:05.61
all you need to
know about everything.
00:03:05.65\00:03:07.65
Genesis, all you need to know
00:03:07.68\00:03:11.69
everything that
is important in life.
00:03:11.72\00:03:15.62
Now the Book of
Genesis is without doubt
00:03:15.66\00:03:18.16
the most controversial
book in the world today,
00:03:18.19\00:03:22.56
because it deals
00:03:22.60\00:03:23.93
with the most
controversial subjects.
00:03:23.97\00:03:27.94
Who am I?
00:03:27.97\00:03:29.30
Where did I come from?
00:03:29.34\00:03:31.34
Why am I here?
00:03:31.37\00:03:33.27
And where am I going?
00:03:33.31\00:03:35.64
Would you like to have
the answer to those questions?
00:03:35.68\00:03:39.18
I'm going to take my old Bible,
00:03:39.21\00:03:42.68
and I'm going to turn
to the Book of Genesis,
00:03:42.72\00:03:46.12
or the Book of Beginnings.
00:03:46.15\00:03:49.96
Genesis 1:1.
00:03:49.99\00:03:54.13
Would you please notice it?
00:03:54.16\00:03:55.53
Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning,
00:03:55.56\00:04:00.04
God created the
heavens and the earth."
00:04:00.07\00:04:04.04
"In the beginning,
00:04:04.07\00:04:06.57
God created the
heavens and the earth."
00:04:06.61\00:04:10.88
Everything you need to know.
00:04:10.91\00:04:14.25
Everything you need to know
00:04:14.28\00:04:15.62
is found in this
amazing book of antiquity,
00:04:15.65\00:04:20.22
the Book of Genesis.
00:04:20.26\00:04:21.76
And this is the most important
statement ever recorded
00:04:21.79\00:04:26.36
in the history
of the human race.
00:04:26.39\00:04:30.00
In the beginning,
00:04:30.03\00:04:32.23
God created the
heavens and the earth.
00:04:32.27\00:04:36.71
Very recently,
00:04:36.74\00:04:38.07
the world's most famous atheist,
00:04:38.11\00:04:42.68
one of the world's
greatest scientists,
00:04:42.71\00:04:46.41
Professor Richard
Dawkins of Oxford University,
00:04:46.45\00:04:52.22
was having a debate
00:04:52.25\00:04:54.59
on the BBC in Great Britain.
00:04:54.62\00:04:59.36
He was debating a
pastor, a clergyman
00:04:59.39\00:05:05.23
and then Richard
Dawkins quoted the great book
00:05:05.27\00:05:08.84
by Charles Darwin
00:05:08.87\00:05:11.54
that gave rise to
the theory of evolution,
00:05:11.57\00:05:17.75
that man is simply
the product of time
00:05:17.78\00:05:21.38
plus matter plus chance.
00:05:21.42\00:05:23.95
And this
minister had the temerity
00:05:23.99\00:05:27.72
to ask the great professor
for the full title of the book.
00:05:27.76\00:05:34.03
Richard Dawkins
says well, well, well,
00:05:34.06\00:05:36.03
the book is called On
The Origin of Species,
00:05:36.06\00:05:41.97
but the pastor
wouldn't let him off the hook.
00:05:42.00\00:05:44.17
He said, I want the full title,
00:05:44.21\00:05:46.98
and the world's
greatest authority
00:05:47.01\00:05:49.74
on Darwinism
didn't have an answer.
00:05:49.78\00:05:54.55
And then he's...
00:05:54.58\00:05:56.48
Should I say despair?
00:05:56.52\00:05:58.62
In his confusion, he cried out,
00:05:58.65\00:06:01.02
"Oh, my god, oh my god."
00:06:01.06\00:06:07.16
That's why the
English publication
00:06:07.20\00:06:09.36
said it was a bad week,
00:06:09.40\00:06:12.13
a bad week for
atheism in Great Britain,
00:06:12.17\00:06:16.60
where atheism is
growing like crazy.
00:06:16.64\00:06:20.28
Now, the title of the
book it's an amazing title.
00:06:20.31\00:06:23.91
I want you to notice it,
00:06:23.95\00:06:26.11
"The Origin of Species
00:06:26.15\00:06:27.82
by Means of Natural Selection,
00:06:27.85\00:06:33.82
or the
Preservation of Favored Races
00:06:33.86\00:06:37.83
in the Struggle for
Life" by Charles Darwin.
00:06:37.86\00:06:43.70
It's about the most racist title
00:06:43.73\00:06:46.94
that you could imagine.
00:06:46.97\00:06:49.80
The preservation of
certain races favored races
00:06:49.84\00:06:54.64
in the struggle for life.
00:06:54.68\00:06:56.54
Listen to me, my
atheistic friend.
00:06:56.58\00:07:00.02
It was this book that gave rise
to the massacre of black people
00:07:00.05\00:07:06.15
in the Belgian Congo.
00:07:06.19\00:07:09.29
They quoted Darwin
00:07:09.32\00:07:10.66
as they chopped off their heads.
00:07:10.69\00:07:13.80
And led to the rise of the Nazis
00:07:13.83\00:07:16.56
who got their
information from Nietzsche,
00:07:16.60\00:07:19.80
who got his
information from Charles Darwin,
00:07:19.83\00:07:23.17
and carried out the
genocide against the Jews
00:07:23.20\00:07:26.91
because they
weren't favored races.
00:07:26.94\00:07:32.15
So much for atheism,
00:07:32.18\00:07:34.75
the fastest
growing religion today
00:07:34.78\00:07:37.42
in Great Britain.
00:07:37.45\00:07:38.79
Now look at Great
Britain, if you don't mind.
00:07:38.82\00:07:42.12
I could never,
never be an atheist
00:07:42.16\00:07:45.23
and I will tell you
why, quite honestly,
00:07:45.26\00:07:48.46
I will tell you
why I could never be
00:07:48.50\00:07:51.50
an atheist like Richard Dawkins
00:07:51.53\00:07:55.27
because I don't
have enough faith.
00:07:55.30\00:07:58.57
I don't have enough
faith to believe this stuff.
00:07:58.61\00:08:01.94
The man is the product of
blind and personal forces.
00:08:01.98\00:08:06.08
I don't believe it.
00:08:06.11\00:08:07.45
But Richard
Dawkins has got more faith
00:08:07.48\00:08:09.42
than all the rest
of us put together.
00:08:09.45\00:08:11.65
And so I choose to call him
00:08:11.69\00:08:14.62
the Reverend Richard Dawkins,
00:08:14.66\00:08:20.26
high priest of the
great cult of atheism.
00:08:20.30\00:08:26.63
Think about it.
00:08:26.67\00:08:29.17
Now, as I start on
the Book of Genesis,
00:08:29.20\00:08:31.37
I want to make
these observations
00:08:31.41\00:08:33.34
and I want you to
hear me loud and clear,
00:08:33.38\00:08:35.21
because some of you may not like
00:08:35.24\00:08:36.91
what I'm going to say.
00:08:36.95\00:08:40.75
Number one, the Bible
00:08:40.78\00:08:42.38
was not written
to make me a critic.
00:08:42.42\00:08:46.92
No, lots of
critics in the world.
00:08:46.96\00:08:50.16
Lots of critics in
the scientific world,
00:08:50.19\00:08:53.50
lots of critics in the church.
00:08:53.53\00:08:56.70
The Bible was not
written to make me a critic,
00:08:56.73\00:09:00.10
but to make me a Christian.
00:09:00.14\00:09:02.37
Did you hear this?
00:09:02.40\00:09:04.21
It was not written
to make me a scientist.
00:09:04.24\00:09:09.54
It was not written to
make me a smart scientist,
00:09:09.58\00:09:13.82
but was written to
make me a humble saint,
00:09:13.85\00:09:18.75
not a scientist but a saint.
00:09:18.79\00:09:21.49
It was not
written to make me smart,
00:09:21.52\00:09:24.89
but to make me
sorry for my sins.
00:09:24.93\00:09:29.63
Have you met so many people
00:09:29.66\00:09:32.77
who are so proud of being smart.
00:09:32.80\00:09:37.71
It'd be good if they
became humble, penitent,
00:09:37.74\00:09:41.64
and were sorry for their sins
00:09:41.68\00:09:43.81
because we've
all got enough sins.
00:09:43.85\00:09:46.61
The Bible was not
written to make me a biologist,
00:09:46.65\00:09:50.69
but to make me a
born again believer.
00:09:50.72\00:09:54.89
John Chapter 3.
00:09:54.92\00:09:56.26
It was not written to
make me a paleontologist.
00:09:56.29\00:10:00.66
That's a person who
plays around with old bones
00:10:00.70\00:10:05.07
and rocks and other thing.
00:10:05.10\00:10:06.43
It was not written to
make me a paleontologist,
00:10:06.47\00:10:09.07
but to make me a
penitent, a penitent.
00:10:09.10\00:10:14.18
That's why the
Bible was written.
00:10:14.21\00:10:15.91
I wish we could all
get this into our skulls.
00:10:15.94\00:10:20.68
And everything that
is true of the Bible
00:10:20.72\00:10:22.92
is equally true of
the Book of Genesis,
00:10:22.95\00:10:28.49
all you need to know.
00:10:28.52\00:10:31.33
All you need to know.
00:10:31.36\00:10:32.69
Here is the first great truth
00:10:32.73\00:10:35.46
in all you need to know.
00:10:35.50\00:10:40.20
Number one, God
made the universe,
00:10:40.24\00:10:43.84
He made planet earth,
00:10:43.87\00:10:46.14
and He made you and me.
00:10:46.17\00:10:48.78
Do you think we
can ever conjure up
00:10:48.81\00:10:51.61
in our little peanut brains
00:10:51.65\00:10:54.15
how Almighty
God made the cosmos?
00:10:54.18\00:10:58.65
Oh, please, come on now.
00:10:58.69\00:11:03.76
But the Bible tells
me all I need to know.
00:11:03.79\00:11:07.03
And I'm going to
turn to Genesis 1:27,
00:11:07.06\00:11:11.30
dear hearts and gentle people.
00:11:11.33\00:11:15.67
Genesis
00:11:15.70\00:11:17.14
1:27.
00:11:17.17\00:11:23.08
Listen to the words.
00:11:23.11\00:11:25.78
Genesis 1:27,
00:11:25.81\00:11:29.12
"So God created man,"
00:11:29.15\00:11:31.82
now, I'm not a cosmic accident.
00:11:31.85\00:11:36.19
"So God created
man in His own image,
00:11:36.22\00:11:40.93
in the image of
God He created him,
00:11:40.96\00:11:43.67
male and female
He created them."
00:11:43.70\00:11:48.64
This is the first great truth
00:11:48.67\00:11:51.77
in all you need to know.
00:11:51.81\00:11:55.94
God made you.
00:11:55.98\00:11:58.05
Hey, are you listening to me.
00:11:58.08\00:11:59.81
God made you, brother, sister,
00:11:59.85\00:12:02.15
therefore you are
special, you are important.
00:12:02.18\00:12:06.45
Every person is important,
00:12:06.49\00:12:09.12
whether he is white, brown,
00:12:09.16\00:12:14.00
black, yellow,
00:12:14.03\00:12:17.93
who cares.
00:12:17.97\00:12:20.97
God has got a
very, very big family.
00:12:21.00\00:12:23.91
And by the grace
of God, you and I
00:12:23.94\00:12:26.34
are a part of the family of God.
00:12:26.37\00:12:29.44
And every person is important.
00:12:29.48\00:12:32.25
Never, never forget it.
00:12:32.28\00:12:34.22
You are important
in the sight of God.
00:12:34.25\00:12:38.22
And God loves you,
brother and sister.
00:12:38.25\00:12:41.96
God made you in His own image,
you are a part of His family.
00:12:41.99\00:12:45.33
So you are
important and you are loved.
00:12:45.36\00:12:50.27
Here's the second great truth.
00:12:50.30\00:12:51.73
You ready for the
second great truth?
00:12:51.77\00:12:53.70
Everything you need to know
00:12:53.74\00:12:55.07
from the Book of
Genesis, here it comes.
00:12:55.10\00:12:57.04
Second great
truth, marriage matters.
00:12:57.07\00:13:00.04
All marriage matters.
00:13:00.08\00:13:02.81
I'm going to turn
to Genesis 2:23-24.
00:13:02.84\00:13:09.25
Genesis 2:23-24.
00:13:09.28\00:13:11.85
I give it to you out
of the Book of Genesis,
00:13:11.89\00:13:14.72
all you need to
know about marriage.
00:13:14.76\00:13:18.03
Adam said, or the
word Adam means the man.
00:13:18.06\00:13:22.63
"Adam said, 'This is
now bone of my bones,
00:13:22.66\00:13:24.97
flesh of my flesh, she
shall be called a Woman,
00:13:25.00\00:13:29.27
because she was
taken out of man.
00:13:29.30\00:13:32.81
Therefore a man
00:13:32.84\00:13:34.54
shall leave his
father and mother
00:13:34.58\00:13:36.44
and be joined to his wife,
00:13:36.48\00:13:38.41
and they shall
become one flesh."
00:13:38.45\00:13:41.85
All you need to
know about marriage.
00:13:41.88\00:13:43.28
I don't care
00:13:43.32\00:13:44.65
what the
politically correct people say,
00:13:44.69\00:13:46.35
I don't really care.
00:13:46.39\00:13:48.49
I want to see
what God says about it.
00:13:48.52\00:13:50.93
God's original
plan, my friend, was this.
00:13:50.96\00:13:54.33
It's as plain as
the nose on your face.
00:13:54.36\00:13:58.00
God's original plan was marriage
00:13:58.03\00:14:00.17
and marriage matters.
00:14:00.20\00:14:01.67
And marriage consisted
of one man and one woman.
00:14:01.70\00:14:06.11
Oh, you say, "No,
00:14:06.14\00:14:07.48
but that's not
what we are told."
00:14:07.51\00:14:08.84
I don't really care.
00:14:08.88\00:14:10.98
I want to know what God says.
00:14:11.01\00:14:13.85
All I need to
know about marriage
00:14:13.88\00:14:15.95
is found in God's book,
00:14:15.98\00:14:18.29
the Book of Genesis,
00:14:18.32\00:14:19.92
that isn't written to
make me a scientist, or smart,
00:14:19.95\00:14:23.56
or sophisticated, or shrewd,
00:14:23.59\00:14:25.99
or cunning, or
any of those things,
00:14:26.03\00:14:27.93
but it is to
make me into a person
00:14:27.96\00:14:30.67
who is called a
believing Christian.
00:14:30.70\00:14:34.14
So God's original
plan, one man, one woman.
00:14:34.17\00:14:38.14
Thus it was universally accepted
00:14:38.17\00:14:40.08
by everybody in the
world for thousands of years.
00:14:40.11\00:14:44.01
Egyptians believed
in one man, one woman.
00:14:44.05\00:14:48.52
The Babylonians
believed in marriage
00:14:48.55\00:14:51.15
between a man and a woman.
00:14:51.19\00:14:53.25
The Persians, the Greeks,
00:14:53.29\00:14:54.69
the Romans, all
of the Christians,
00:14:54.72\00:14:57.19
every Christian,
all the atheists.
00:14:57.23\00:15:00.50
I've been to Russia
49 times, went there
00:15:00.53\00:15:02.76
when the Soviet
Union was in control.
00:15:02.80\00:15:04.93
They all believed in marriage.
00:15:04.97\00:15:06.84
One man, one woman,
the atheists believed it,
00:15:06.87\00:15:09.60
that the communists believed it.
00:15:09.64\00:15:11.57
The Muslims
still believe it today.
00:15:11.61\00:15:14.61
The Hindus believed it.
00:15:14.64\00:15:16.85
The Americans believed it.
00:15:16.88\00:15:18.31
The British, the
French, the Germans,
00:15:18.35\00:15:19.95
the Italians, the Russians,
00:15:19.98\00:15:21.78
the Chinese,
and the Australians.
00:15:21.82\00:15:25.62
Everybody for
thousands and thousands
00:15:25.65\00:15:28.52
and thousands of years believed
00:15:28.56\00:15:31.53
that what I'm
telling you is the truth.
00:15:31.56\00:15:35.23
And if I'm out of
harmony with some people,
00:15:35.26\00:15:37.77
it's because
they're out of harmony
00:15:37.80\00:15:40.37
with what the Bible teaches.
00:15:40.40\00:15:42.54
They're out of harmony
00:15:42.57\00:15:43.91
with what God
says in His Holy Word.
00:15:43.94\00:15:47.04
I'm going to come to the
words of the greatest person
00:15:47.08\00:15:49.04
who ever lived,
00:15:49.08\00:15:50.41
the greatest person of
all time, Jesus Christ.
00:15:50.45\00:15:53.15
And I'm going to come over here
00:15:53.18\00:15:54.52
to Matthew 19:4-5,
00:15:54.55\00:15:59.12
you folks still listening?
00:15:59.15\00:16:00.92
You folks still with me?
00:16:00.96\00:16:02.29
Matthew 19:4-5.
00:16:02.32\00:16:06.80
Are you ready for this?
00:16:06.83\00:16:08.56
Jesus said, "He
answered and said to them,
00:16:08.60\00:16:12.40
'Have you not read that
00:16:12.43\00:16:13.77
He who made them
at the beginning,
00:16:13.80\00:16:16.34
made them male
and female,' and said,
00:16:16.37\00:16:19.84
'For this
reason, a man shall leave
00:16:19.87\00:16:23.61
his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
00:16:23.65\00:16:28.05
and the two shall
become one flesh.'"
00:16:28.08\00:16:32.09
Listen carefully to me.
00:16:32.12\00:16:35.42
Jesus spoke about marriage.
00:16:35.46\00:16:38.56
Who is this Jesus?
00:16:38.59\00:16:41.20
Jesus is the creator living
on this earth as a human being.
00:16:41.23\00:16:47.17
Jesus is God in human flesh.
00:16:47.20\00:16:52.91
Jesus is the person
who made the universe.
00:16:52.94\00:16:56.41
Jesus is the person
00:16:56.44\00:16:57.78
who gave us the Book of Genesis.
00:16:57.81\00:16:59.88
Jesus is the person
00:16:59.91\00:17:01.48
who inspired
the Holy Scriptures.
00:17:01.52\00:17:03.75
And Jesus is the
person who gave us marriage.
00:17:03.79\00:17:06.76
And Jesus said that a
marriage is between one man
00:17:06.79\00:17:11.83
and one woman.
00:17:11.86\00:17:14.63
So God's ideal,
the father, the mother,
00:17:14.66\00:17:19.23
and the children.
00:17:19.27\00:17:21.90
Now, I've been living here
in this great United States
00:17:21.94\00:17:25.77
for about 35 years.
00:17:25.81\00:17:27.54
So I know this
nation, I love this nation.
00:17:27.58\00:17:30.85
And all the presidents of
the United States of America
00:17:30.88\00:17:33.98
believed in the teachings
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:17:34.02\00:17:39.55
All the great presidents of
the United States of America
00:17:39.59\00:17:42.49
believed that marriage
was a relationship between
00:17:42.52\00:17:46.29
one man and one woman.
00:17:46.33\00:17:49.53
For instance, this man here,
00:17:49.56\00:17:53.64
President Clinton,
00:17:53.67\00:17:55.64
who gave us the
Defense of Marriage Act.
00:17:55.67\00:18:00.24
When he was the
president of the United States,
00:18:00.28\00:18:02.41
he came out and he
said ever so plainly,
00:18:02.44\00:18:04.58
a marriage is the relationship
00:18:04.61\00:18:07.48
between one man and one woman.
00:18:07.52\00:18:13.42
Every president believed it,
00:18:13.46\00:18:17.39
except one
00:18:17.43\00:18:20.20
who came more recently.
00:18:20.23\00:18:24.27
But Genesis said,
one man, one woman,
00:18:24.30\00:18:28.50
that's all you need to know.
00:18:28.54\00:18:30.74
So I want to say
this to you today.
00:18:30.77\00:18:32.61
And I say this to
you out of my heart,
00:18:32.64\00:18:34.91
fathers are
needed, mothers are needed.
00:18:34.94\00:18:40.28
Not just mothers,
but fathers are needed.
00:18:40.32\00:18:45.09
I had a blessed childhood.
00:18:45.12\00:18:46.55
I was brought up in Australia
00:18:46.59\00:18:48.36
and my parents were
the salt of the earth.
00:18:48.39\00:18:52.33
They had come
through the Great Depression,
00:18:52.36\00:18:55.10
which was a time of hell.
00:18:55.13\00:18:58.47
My father was a crane driver,
00:18:58.50\00:19:01.67
who worked out
there on the ships
00:19:01.70\00:19:03.77
during the Second World
War at the Cairncross Dry Dock.
00:19:03.81\00:19:09.78
More recently, my
family received a plaque
00:19:09.81\00:19:12.75
after the death of my father,
00:19:12.78\00:19:14.98
to honor him for his work,
00:19:15.02\00:19:16.89
fighting the Japanese
and fighting the Nazis.
00:19:16.92\00:19:21.79
So I was brought up in a home
00:19:21.82\00:19:23.76
where marriages were sanctified.
00:19:23.79\00:19:27.66
I just can't get
these great truths
00:19:27.70\00:19:29.50
out of my mind because
they were taught to me,
00:19:29.53\00:19:32.53
and I want to
say something else.
00:19:32.57\00:19:33.97
And I want you to hear this.
00:19:34.00\00:19:35.37
Are you
listening to me, my friend?
00:19:35.40\00:19:36.77
I want to say it to you.
00:19:36.81\00:19:39.27
I believe in
freedom of religion.
00:19:39.31\00:19:42.28
I believe in freedom of speech.
00:19:42.31\00:19:45.71
I was talking to
a friend recently
00:19:45.75\00:19:47.62
and I was talking about
the sanctity of marriage.
00:19:47.65\00:19:50.39
And the person said to me,
00:19:50.42\00:19:52.05
"You don't really have
the right to those views.
00:19:52.09\00:19:55.86
You don't have the
right to expressionism."
00:19:55.89\00:19:57.76
I said, "I believe I
believe with all my heart
00:19:57.79\00:20:03.03
in the great Constitution
00:20:03.06\00:20:04.40
of the United States of America.
00:20:04.43\00:20:06.74
And I believe in
freedom of religion,
00:20:06.77\00:20:09.84
and I believe in
freedom of speech."
00:20:09.87\00:20:14.41
And that is why,
by the grace of God,
00:20:14.44\00:20:16.51
I'm going to talk
on about these things.
00:20:16.54\00:20:19.01
I'm going to keep on preaching.
00:20:19.05\00:20:20.85
And I'm going to
keep telling people that
00:20:20.88\00:20:23.28
marriage is between
one man and one woman.
00:20:23.32\00:20:29.19
Book of Genesis
is the topic today,
00:20:29.22\00:20:31.76
all you need to know.
00:20:31.79\00:20:34.20
Here's the third great
truth from the Book of Genesis.
00:20:34.23\00:20:38.33
The Sabbath is a part of
God's plan for your life.
00:20:38.37\00:20:41.64
Now, this is going to
be new to some of you.
00:20:41.67\00:20:43.71
Genesis 2:1-3,
00:20:43.74\00:20:47.91
and I want you to hear this,
00:20:47.94\00:20:50.41
all you need to know,
00:20:50.45\00:20:52.28
goes back thousands of years,
00:20:52.31\00:20:54.12
it goes back to the
days of Adam and Eve,
00:20:54.15\00:20:57.79
and the creation
of the human race.
00:20:57.82\00:21:00.52
Genesis 2:1-3,
00:21:00.56\00:21:05.33
"Thus the heavens and the earth,
00:21:05.36\00:21:06.70
and all the hosts
of them were finished."
00:21:06.73\00:21:08.76
So God made it all.
00:21:08.80\00:21:11.00
"And on the seventh day,
00:21:11.03\00:21:12.37
God ended His
work which He had done.
00:21:12.40\00:21:15.04
And He rested on the seventh day
00:21:15.07\00:21:16.71
from all His work
which He had done.
00:21:16.74\00:21:19.77
Then God blessed the seventh day
00:21:19.81\00:21:22.61
and sanctified it
00:21:22.64\00:21:24.21
because in it He
rested from all His work
00:21:24.25\00:21:27.78
which God had created and made."
00:21:27.82\00:21:30.49
Now listen to me.
00:21:30.52\00:21:33.22
The Sabbath doesn't
belong just to one race.
00:21:33.25\00:21:37.49
It doesn't belong
to just some church.
00:21:37.53\00:21:40.90
The Sabbath came from
the hand of Almighty God.
00:21:40.93\00:21:45.30
And the Bible says that
00:21:45.33\00:21:46.67
God made the earth
by His massive power.
00:21:46.70\00:21:50.91
It doesn't tell us
how God made the earth.
00:21:50.94\00:21:55.44
Because these tiny little minds
00:21:55.48\00:21:57.58
just could not
comprehend the tremendous power
00:21:57.61\00:22:01.15
and the might of Almighty God.
00:22:01.18\00:22:04.52
But it tells us that after God
00:22:04.55\00:22:06.69
had created the
heavens and the earth,
00:22:06.72\00:22:09.12
the Bible tells us
that God made the Sabbath.
00:22:09.16\00:22:14.56
And God blessed the seventh day.
00:22:14.60\00:22:18.07
Let me tell you
this, my dear friend,
00:22:18.10\00:22:20.97
the Sabbath is
needed more than ever
00:22:21.00\00:22:24.44
to renew our starving
souls and our battered bodies.
00:22:24.47\00:22:30.75
I want to tell all of my friends
00:22:30.78\00:22:32.35
across this great
land of the United States
00:22:32.38\00:22:34.58
and across
Australia, around the world,
00:22:34.62\00:22:37.09
I want them to know today
00:22:37.12\00:22:38.92
that Jesus Christ is
the Lord of the Sabbath.
00:22:38.95\00:22:42.69
He made the Sabbath and
when He came to this earth,
00:22:42.72\00:22:45.39
He kept the Sabbath.
00:22:45.43\00:22:46.90
I'm going to turn over
here to Luke Chapter 4.
00:22:46.93\00:22:50.30
I'm going to turn over
here to the New Testament.
00:22:50.33\00:22:52.73
And I want you to notice
00:22:52.77\00:22:54.10
what I'm going to
read to you today.
00:22:54.14\00:22:55.60
Luke 4:16
00:22:55.64\00:23:01.44
down to 19.
00:23:01.48\00:23:03.88
Luke Chapter 4, and verse,
00:23:03.91\00:23:06.95
let me see, verse 16, it says,
00:23:06.98\00:23:11.45
"He came to
Nazareth," that's Jesus,
00:23:11.49\00:23:14.62
"where He had been brought up.
00:23:14.66\00:23:16.59
And as His custom was,
00:23:16.62\00:23:18.26
He went into the
synagogue on the Sabbath day,
00:23:18.29\00:23:21.66
stood up to read."
00:23:21.70\00:23:23.03
Jesus was a Sabbath keeper.
00:23:23.06\00:23:26.20
"And He was handed the
book of the prophet Isaiah.
00:23:26.23\00:23:30.14
And when He had opened the book,
00:23:30.17\00:23:31.74
He found the place
where it was written:
00:23:31.77\00:23:35.01
'The Spirit of
the Lord is upon Me,
00:23:35.04\00:23:37.71
because He has anointed Me
00:23:37.75\00:23:39.08
to preach the
gospel to the poor,
00:23:39.11\00:23:41.65
He sent me to
heal the brokenhearted,
00:23:41.68\00:23:44.49
to proclaim
liberty to the captives,
00:23:44.52\00:23:47.66
and recovery of
sight to the blind,
00:23:47.69\00:23:50.59
to set at liberty
those who are oppressed,
00:23:50.63\00:23:54.23
to proclaim the
acceptable year of the Lord.'"
00:23:54.26\00:23:58.10
When Jesus Christ
commenced His messianic mission,
00:23:58.13\00:24:03.34
He started it
on the Sabbath day,
00:24:03.37\00:24:06.27
and He turned to
the Prophet Isaiah,
00:24:06.31\00:24:09.98
and He's telling
the people there,
00:24:10.01\00:24:11.65
"I have come to
give you good news."
00:24:11.68\00:24:14.32
And He announces
this on the Sabbath day,
00:24:14.35\00:24:17.59
because the holy
Sabbath day is the rest day.
00:24:17.62\00:24:22.02
It is the blessed day.
00:24:22.06\00:24:24.36
It is the best day
00:24:24.39\00:24:26.43
because it
represents the Gospel of Christ.
00:24:26.46\00:24:30.93
The Gospel of Christ
is about spiritual rest
00:24:30.97\00:24:34.77
and salvation from sin,
00:24:34.80\00:24:37.84
rest for our sad,
broken down bodies,
00:24:37.87\00:24:42.44
and to stressed souls.
00:24:42.48\00:24:46.21
So Jesus starts His
mission on the Sabbath day.
00:24:46.25\00:24:50.95
The Sabbath is the rest day,
00:24:50.99\00:24:53.42
the blessed day
and the best day.
00:24:53.46\00:24:57.56
The Sabbath was
given to us by God.
00:24:57.59\00:25:00.60
It is the Lord's Day.
00:25:00.63\00:25:02.66
It is the Christian's day.
00:25:02.70\00:25:04.67
It doesn't belong to any sect.
00:25:04.70\00:25:07.07
It comes to us
from the Garden of Eden.
00:25:07.10\00:25:10.87
It is given to us
by the hand of Christ.
00:25:10.91\00:25:15.51
It is given to us
because we need it.
00:25:15.54\00:25:18.55
We're talking today
about the Book of Genesis.
00:25:18.58\00:25:21.72
All you need to
know, all you need to know,
00:25:21.75\00:25:24.95
so that you can be the
person that God wants you to be.
00:25:24.99\00:25:28.89
Stay tuned with me, friend.
00:25:28.92\00:25:30.93
I've got so much
to talk about today,
00:25:30.96\00:25:33.26
the Book of Genesis,
all you need to know.
00:25:33.29\00:25:37.00
And we'll be
back in just a moment.
00:25:37.03\00:25:40.57
