FATHER IN HEAVEN, MAY IT ALWAYS

MAY WE ALWAYS SUBMIT TO YOU
AS OUR LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER
00:05:17.03\00:05:21.23
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT'S
BEST FOR US AND SOMETIMES -
00:05:21.23\00:05:23.63
MANY TIMES - WE THINK
WE HAVE IT FIGURED OUT.
00:05:23.63\00:05:26.76
WE THINK THAT OUR WAY IS BETTER
THAN YOURS AND SOMETIMES YOU
00:05:26.76\00:05:30.90
TEACH US VERY VALUABLE LESSONS
AND I JUST PRAY THAT WE WILL
00:05:30.90\00:05:34.10

PROMISES THAT YOU ARE
LOOKING OUT FOR US AND
00:05:38.60\00:05:41.20
YOUR WAYS ARE
ALWAYS BETTER THAN OURS.
00:05:41.20\00:05:44.20
FATHER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BRINGING US HERE TO OPEN UP YOUR
00:05:44.20\00:05:47.90

IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. AT
THIS TIME OUR LESSON STUDY
00:05:56.56\00:06:01.20
WILL BE BROUGHT TO US
BY PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR.
00:06:01.20\00:06:06.70
>>I WANT TO WELCOME OUR FRIENDS
WHO ARE WATCHING ON TELEVISION
00:06:06.70\00:06:09.86
AND WE'LL BE CONTINUING IN JUST
A MOMENT WITH OUR STUDY ON THE
00:06:09.86\00:06:13.60
TEACHINGS OF JESUS, BUT SOME OF
YOU KNOW THAT CENTRAL CHURCH AND
00:06:13.60\00:06:19.33
THE SABBATH SCHOOL HAS BEEN
IN A LITTLE BIT OF TRANSITION
00:06:19.33\00:06:22.60
IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS.
00:06:22.60\00:06:24.13
I'D LIKE TO INVITE PASTOR CHRIS
BUTTERY - I THINK HE'S OFF TO MY
00:06:24.13\00:06:28.16
RIGHT SOMEWHERE - IF HE COULD
JOIN ME, WE'RE GOING TO JUST
00:06:28.16\00:06:31.66
SHARE WITH YOU, A LITTLE
BIT, SOME OF WHAT IS GOING ON.
00:06:31.66\00:06:34.60
YOU KNOW, AMAZING FACTS - WE
WERE THINKING ABOUT IT THIS WEEK
00:06:34.60\00:06:38.06
- AMAZING FACTS' SABBATH SCHOOL
OR CENTRAL SABBATH SCHOOL HAS
00:06:38.06\00:06:41.43
BEEN ON THE AIR NOW FOR, WE
THINK, SEVENTEEN YEARS AND IT
00:06:41.43\00:06:46.03
STARTED - IT'S OKAY PASTOR
CHRIS, COME ON UP - IT STARTED
00:06:46.03\00:06:49.03
AS AN EXPERIMENT. WE
HAD A REQUEST FROM 3ABN.
00:06:49.03\00:06:52.23
THEY SAID, 'YOU KNOW, YOU'RE
TAPING A CHURCH SERVICE, IT'D BE
00:06:52.23\00:06:54.46
NICE TO HAVE A
SABBATH SCHOOL AS WELL.
00:06:54.46\00:06:56.56
AND SO WE JUST STARTED THROWING
IT TOGETHER AND THE LORD BLESSED
00:06:56.56\00:07:01.13
AND IT'S BEEN GOING NOW AND WE
HEAR THESE SONG REQUESTS COMING
00:07:01.13\00:07:04.20
IN FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND
AS I TRAVEL I HEAR PEOPLE AROUND
00:07:04.20\00:07:07.86
THE WORLD SAY
THEY'RE STUDYING WITH US.
00:07:07.86\00:07:09.80
BUT AS SOME OF YOU KNOW - SOME
WHO ARE WATCHING MAY NOT KNOW -
00:07:09.80\00:07:13.80
CENTRAL CHURCH IS ONE OF
THE OLDEST ADVENTIST CHURCHES IN
00:07:13.80\00:07:16.43
CALIFORNIA AND IT'S BEEN
RESPONSIBLE FOR PLANTING A
00:07:16.43\00:07:19.73
NUMBER OF CHURCHES IN
THE GREATER SACRAMENTO AREA.
00:07:19.73\00:07:23.70
ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO CENTRAL
WORKED TOGETHER AND DECIDED
00:07:23.70\00:07:27.03
TO PLANT A
CHURCH IN GRANITE BAY.
00:07:27.03\00:07:30.30
GRANITE BAY IS A SUBURB THAT IS
SORT OF EAST OF SACRAMENTO AND -
00:07:30.30\00:07:36.26
WITH THE IDEA - IT'S PRETTY
CLOSE TO THE AMAZING FACTS'
00:07:36.26\00:07:38.73
OFFICES - THAT SOMEDAY WE'D ALSO
BE RECORDING SERVICES OVER THERE
00:07:38.73\00:07:42.86
AS THE LORD BLESSED AND THE LORD
BLESSED AND THE CHURCH GREW.
00:07:42.86\00:07:46.50
I KNEW I'D ALSO BE MOVING
OVER THERE AT SOME POINT AND WE
00:07:46.50\00:07:50.20
STARTED IN A HOME AND THEN WENT
TO A HIGH SCHOOL AND FOR THE
00:07:50.20\00:07:54.26
LAST SEVEN - EIGHT YEARS WE'VE
BEEN RENTING A PRESBYTERIAN
00:07:54.26\00:07:57.26
CHURCH. BUT WE'RE
NOT ABLE TO TAPE THERE
00:07:57.26\00:08:00.43
BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE IT
A COUPLE OF HOURS A WEEK.
00:08:00.43\00:08:04.66
BUT IN JANUARY I KNEW THAT
CENTRAL WAS GOING TO BE IN VERY
00:08:04.66\00:08:11.26
CAPABLE HANDS. I
THOUGHT THE TIME HAD COME
00:08:11.26\00:08:13.56
WHERE I SHOULD STEP
DOWN AS SENIOR PASTOR.
00:08:13.56\00:08:16.83
IN THE CONVENING TIME, THE
CONFERENCE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
00:08:16.83\00:08:19.80
AND YOU FOLKS HAVE ASKED - CHRIS
BUTTERY IS NOW THE SENIOR PASTOR
00:08:19.80\00:08:23.53
OF CENTRAL CHURCH. BUT
CENTRAL'S BEEN VERY NICE IN
00:08:23.53\00:08:26.70
THAT THEY'VE LET AMAZING
FACTS KEEP TAPING BECAUSE WE HAD
00:08:26.70\00:08:29.80
NOWHERE TO GO TO
TAPE OUR SABBATH SCHOOL.
00:08:29.80\00:08:32.96
WELL, WE'RE COMING TO A
POINT OF TRANSITION NOW.
00:08:32.96\00:08:35.73
WE THOUGHT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE
OF WEEKS WE OUGHT TO, AT LEAST,
00:08:35.73\00:08:37.76
GIVE YOU A PICTURE OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING AND - JUST SO EVERYONE
00:08:37.76\00:08:41.30
KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON.
DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING?
00:08:41.30\00:08:43.73
>>I WOULD SAY THAT AMAZING FACTS
HAS ALSO BEEN VERY GRACIOUS TO
00:08:43.73\00:08:48.16
CENTRAL IN PROVIDING THE
EQUIPMENT STILL TO ALLOW US TO
00:08:48.16\00:08:53.36
LIVE-STREAM TO OUR ONLINE
AUDIENCE AND ALSO OUR CHURCH
00:08:53.36\00:08:56.40
SERVICES AS WELL, GIVING US
A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY GET OUR
00:08:56.40\00:09:00.23
EQUIPMENT IN AND GET THINGS SET
UP SO WE CAN CONTINUE ON WITH
00:09:00.23\00:09:03.53
OUR MEDIA PROGRAM
HERE. >>ABSOLUTELY.
00:09:03.53\00:09:05.90
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A STORY IN THE
BIBLE WHERE JESUS WAS TALKING TO
00:09:05.90\00:09:09.00
PETER WHEN HE WAS IN HIS BOAT ON
THE SHORE AND HE TOLD PETER TO
00:09:09.00\00:09:13.20
THROW HIS NET OUT ON THE WATER
AND THEY GOT SUCH A BIG CATCH
00:09:13.20\00:09:17.36
THAT BOTH BOATS WERE
FULL. NOW WHEN WE STARTED DOING
00:09:17.36\00:09:21.90
SABBATH SCHOOL, THERE WAS REALLY
ONLY ONE ADVENTIST NETWORK BACK
00:09:21.90\00:09:25.43
THEN, BUT IN THE CONVENING YEARS
THERE MUST BE AT LEAST A DOZEN,
00:09:25.43\00:09:30.16
WHEN YOU COUNT THE OTHER
LANGUAGES, ADVENTIST SATELLITE
00:09:30.16\00:09:32.53
NETWORKS THAT ARE OUT. SO
THE DEMAND FOR PROGRAMMING
00:09:32.53\00:09:35.90
HAS GONE UP. AND,
YOU KNOW, THE MORE LINES
00:09:35.90\00:09:38.63
YOU HAVE IN THE WATER, THE
MORE FISH YOU CATCH, RIGHT?
00:09:38.63\00:09:41.53
AND SO, WHEN WE REACH THE END OF
OUR QUARTERLY DEALING WITH THE
00:09:41.53\00:09:46.23
TEACHINGS OF JESUS AND WE START
WITH THE TEACHINGS OF JAMES,
00:09:46.23\00:09:49.66
ACTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TAPING AT BOTH AREAS.
00:09:49.66\00:09:53.46
BOTH GROUPS ARE GOING
TO CONTINUE RECORDING.
00:09:53.46\00:09:55.56
AND YOU'LL CONTINUE DOING MEDIA,
SABBATH SCHOOL, AND OTHER THINGS
00:09:55.56\00:09:58.83
HERE AT CENTRAL CHURCH.
>>THAT'S THE PLAN, PASTOR DOUG.
00:09:58.83\00:10:01.70
WE'RE HOPING THAT - WE'RE
CERTAINLY GOING TO CONTINUE LIVE
00:10:01.70\00:10:05.00
STREAMING TO OUR ONLINE MEMBERS
AND VISITORS AND GUESTS AND -
00:10:05.00\00:10:08.73
WITH CENTRAL STUDY HOUR AND ALSO
WE'LL - WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE
00:10:08.73\00:10:12.63
PROGRAMS - EDITED, RECORDED
PROGRAMS - AVAILABLE ON OUR
00:10:12.63\00:10:16.46
WEBSITE, WHICH IS
'SACCENTRAL.ORG' - SO PEOPLE CAN
00:10:16.46\00:10:19.86
TUNE IN AND WATCH THE LESSON IF
THEY WANT TO AHEAD OF TIME, JUST
00:10:19.86\00:10:22.90
LIKE THEY'VE BEEN DOING VIA 3ABN
AND HOPE AND, HOPEFULLY, THEY'LL
00:10:22.90\00:10:26.06
ALSO CONTINUE THE PROGRAMMING AS
WELL, AS WE GET INTO OCTOBER AND
00:10:26.06\00:10:30.16
INTO THE NEW QUARTERLY
SO IT'S KIND OF EXCITING.
00:10:30.16\00:10:32.70
WHAT ABOUT AMAZING FACTS,
BECAUSE I NEEDED TO ASK YOU TOO
00:10:32.70\00:10:35.26
- AMAZING FACTS AND GRANITE
BAY'S PROGRAMS - HOW ARE YOU
00:10:35.26\00:10:38.40
PROCEEDING WITH THAT AND WHERE
CAN FOLK ACCESS THOSE PROGRAMS?
00:10:38.40\00:10:43.03
>>WELL THE - FIRST OF ALL, JUST
SO EVERYONE KNOWS, THE SATELLITE
00:10:43.03\00:10:46.73
NETWORKS THAT YOU'RE SEEING THAT
CARRY THESE PROGRAMS, NONE OF
00:10:46.73\00:10:50.13
THEM HAVE CHARGED FOR THE
SABBATH SCHOOL PROGRAMMING.
00:10:50.13\00:10:53.06
IT'S JUST BEEN THEIR KINDNESS SO
MAKE SURE AND CONTACT THEM AND
00:10:53.06\00:10:56.00
TELL THEM YOU WANT TO CONTINUE
TO SEE MORE OF THESE BIBLE
00:10:56.00\00:10:58.50
STUDIES. SO IT'S
REALLY UP TO THEM.
00:10:58.50\00:11:00.66
BUT, GOD WILLING, THE AMAZING
FACTS SABBATH SCHOOL PROGRAM
00:11:00.66\00:11:04.46
WILL CONTINUE TO BROADCAST,
AND STATIONS ALLOWING,
00:11:04.46\00:11:08.46
DURING THE SAME TIMES.
00:11:08.46\00:11:10.30
AND CENTRAL NOT ONLY DOES
SABBATH SCHOOL AND WORSHIP
00:11:10.30\00:11:14.00
SERVICES, BUT I BELIEVE THIS
CHURCH IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO
00:11:14.00\00:11:16.50
BE A PLACE FOR
MEDIA CONVOCATIONS.
00:11:16.50\00:11:19.76
WE'VE HAD ASI HERE AND THERE'S
BEEN TRAINING AND EVANGELISM -
00:11:19.76\00:11:24.16
AND SO WE JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE
YOU TO CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR BOTH
00:11:24.16\00:11:30.06
CHURCHES AS WE
CONTINUE TO DO MEDIA.
00:11:30.06\00:11:32.60
NOW - RIGHT NOW, CENTRAL CHURCH
IS GOING TO CONTINUE DOING
00:11:32.60\00:11:37.60
BROADCASTING HERE
EVERY WEEK, AS THEY DO.
00:11:37.60\00:11:39.96
AMAZING FACTS DOESN'T
HAVE A FULL-TIME FACILITY YET.
00:11:39.96\00:11:43.06
WE DID BUY, EARLIER THIS YEAR,
AN OFFICE/WAREHOUSE BUILDING
00:11:43.06\00:11:47.73
RIGHT NEAR OUR OFFICE THAT WILL
HOST THE GRANITE BAY CHURCH FOR
00:11:47.73\00:11:51.93
THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.
IT'S NOT RENOVATED YET AND SO,
00:11:51.93\00:11:55.90
FOR THE TIME BEING, WE'LL BE
TAPING SABBATH SCHOOL DURING OUR
00:11:55.90\00:11:58.73
PRAYER MEETING TIME - WE
STARTED OUR FIRST ONE THIS WEEK.
00:11:58.73\00:12:01.53
SO BEGINNING WITH THE BOOK OF
JAMES WE'LL BE BROADCASTING FROM
00:12:01.53\00:12:05.06
THE AMAZING FACTS' STUDIO UNTIL
WE CAN GET IN THE WAREHOUSE THAT
00:12:05.06\00:12:10.46
WE BOUGHT AND
START TAPING THERE.
00:12:10.46\00:12:12.53
SO THAT'S - THEY'LL SEE THINGS
LOOK LIKE THEY'RE IN TRANSITION
00:12:12.53\00:12:14.96
FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WE
THOUGHT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
00:12:14.96\00:12:16.80
OUR EXTENDED CLASS
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING.
00:12:16.80\00:12:19.73
>>YEAH, I'M IN FULL AGREEMENT
AND WE'LL BE PRAYING FOR GRANITE
00:12:19.73\00:12:22.66
BAY AND AMAZING FACTS' VENTURE
AS THEY MOVE FORWARD AS WELL.
00:12:22.66\00:12:25.66
AND WE KNOW YOU FOLK ARE PRAYING
FOR CENTRAL AS WE CONTINUE ON AS
00:12:25.66\00:12:27.83
WELL, PASTOR DOUG. >>AMEN.
00:12:27.83\00:12:29.26
THESE CHURCHES ARE
FAMILY. AMEN? >>AMEN. THANK YOU.
00:12:29.26\00:12:31.53
>>AND WE'LL TELL YOU MORE IN THE
WEEKS THAT FOLLOW AND WE JUST
00:12:31.53\00:12:34.43
WANT TO SEE THE MISSION OF
CHRIST FULFILLED IN THE WORLD.
00:12:34.43\00:12:39.06
WE WANT TO REMIND OUR FRIENDS
THAT, ALONG WITH OUR STUDY
00:12:39.06\00:12:41.40
TODAY, THAT HAPPENS TO BE ON THE
SUBJECT OF THE SABBATH, JESUS -
00:12:41.40\00:12:44.76
THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS AND THE
SABBATH - WE HAVE A FREE OFFER.
00:12:44.76\00:12:48.10
RIGHT HERE, IT'S A BOOK BY JOE
CREWS AND IT'S CALLED 'WHY GOD
00:12:48.10\00:12:52.90
SAID REMEMBER.'
WHY GOD SAID REMEMBER.
00:12:52.90\00:12:55.23
WE WILL SEND IT TO YOU FOR FREE.
WE SIMPLY ASK THAT YOU READ IT.
00:12:55.23\00:12:59.20
WE HOPE AFTER YOU READ
IT THAT YOU PASS IT ON.
00:12:59.20\00:13:01.86
AND IT TURNS INTO EVANGELISM.
00:13:01.86\00:13:03.43
CALL THE NUMBER ON YOUR
SCREEN - 866-STUDY-MORE - THAT'S
00:13:03.43\00:13:07.36
866-788-3966 AND
ASK FOR OFFER #185.
00:13:07.36\00:13:15.46
YOU KNOW, I WAS BORN WITH A
SERIOUS LISP AND IT GOT A LOT
00:13:15.46\00:13:20.50
BETTER WHEN I HAD BRACES ABOUT
20 YEARS AGO - OR 25 YEARS AGO -
00:13:20.50\00:13:26.30
BUT I STILL HAVE TO REALLY
WORK ON 'DOUGLAS' AND 'SIX'.
00:13:26.30\00:13:31.63
I HAVE TO JUST REALLY
FIGHT TO SAY THOSE THINGS
00:13:31.63\00:13:33.90
BECAUSE IT'S SO HARD FOR ME.
00:13:33.90\00:13:35.10
YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL STILL
- STILL TELL I HAVE A LISP.
00:13:35.10\00:13:37.30
ANYWAY, GET THE
BOOK ON THE SABBATH.
00:13:37.30\00:13:40.23
WE'RE GOING INTO OUR LESSON ON
'THE SABBATH.' THIS IS GOING TO
00:13:40.23\00:13:43.63
BE A TOUGH ONE FOR ME - LOTS
OF 'ESSES' IN TODAY'S STUDY.
00:13:43.63\00:13:50.80
AND IT'S LESSON #11 - WE HAVE
A MEMORY VERSE - MEMORY VERSE IS
00:13:50.80\00:13:54.63
MARK 2, VERSES 27 AND 28 AND
I ALWAYS APPRECIATE IF YOU SAY
00:13:54.63\00:13:59.30
THAT WITH ME IN A ROBUST
VOICE. WE'RE GOING TO READ IT
00:13:59.30\00:14:02.10
IN JUST A MOMENT. YOU READY?
MARK 2:27 AND 28. HERE WE GO.
00:14:02.10\00:14:07.93
"AND HE SAID TO THEM,
'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN,
00:14:07.93\00:14:12.93
AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH.
00:14:12.93\00:14:15.46
THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS
ALSO LORD OF THE SABBATH.'" NOW
00:14:15.46\00:14:21.13
SOMETIMES PEOPLE THINK THAT
JESUS, HERE, WAS SAYING, 'I CAME
00:14:21.13\00:14:25.20
TO DO AWAY WITH THE SABBATH.'
WHEN HE SAID, 'I'M LORD OF THE
00:14:25.20\00:14:27.80
SABBATH.' BUT NOTICE, HE DIDN'T
SAY THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR
00:14:27.80\00:14:32.16
JEWS - IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD
PLACE TO SAY THAT. SOME PEOPLE
00:14:32.16\00:14:36.30
THINK THE SABBATH BEGAN AT
MOUNT SINAI DURING THE EXODUS.
00:14:36.30\00:14:40.23
BUT JESUS SAYS THE SABBATH
WAS MADE FOR MAN AS IN MANKIND -
00:14:40.23\00:14:44.86
HUMANITY - ALL MEN. AND
WHERE DOES HE POINT BACK TO?
00:14:44.86\00:14:50.13
THE GARDEN OF EDEN WITH THE
FIRST MAN AND THE FIRST SABBATH.
00:14:50.13\00:14:54.00
I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD
SOME SUNDAY-KEEPING BIBLE
00:14:54.00\00:14:56.63
COMMENTATORS SAY, 'GOD
DIDN'T REALLY REQUIRE SABBATH
00:14:56.63\00:14:59.83
OBSERVANCE UNTIL THE EXODUS WHEN
IT WAS GIVEN AT MOUNT SINAI.
00:14:59.83\00:15:04.00
THAT IS NOT TRUE. YOU
CAN FIND, IN THE BIBLE, IT
00:15:04.00\00:15:07.06
SAYS, BEFORE THEY GOT TO MOUNT
SINAI THAT, WHEN GOD POURED OUT
00:15:07.06\00:15:10.83
THE MANNA, HE SAID, 'DON'T GO
LOOKING FOR MANNA ON THE SABBATH
00:15:10.83\00:15:14.53
- THAT'S THE DAY OF REST.
THEY HADN'T EVEN GOTTEN THERE,
00:15:14.53\00:15:16.60
BUT THEY KNEW THAT
THAT WAS A DAY OF REST.
00:15:16.60\00:15:18.73
THEN HE SAID, 'WHY
AREN'T YOU KEEPING MY SABBATHS?
00:15:18.73\00:15:20.66
AND EVEN WHEN MOSES FIRST WENT
TO PHARAOH, BEFORE THEY EVEN GOT
00:15:20.66\00:15:24.43
INTO THE WILDERNESS, PHARAOH
SAID, 'YOU ARE MAKING THE PEOPLE
00:15:24.43\00:15:28.86
SABBATH AND SO I AM GOING
TO INCREASE THEIR WORKLOAD AND
00:15:28.86\00:15:34.06
THEY'VE GOT TO MAKE
THEIR BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW NOW.
00:15:34.06\00:15:36.53
AND SO THERE'S EVIDENCE THAT
THE SABBATH WAS KEPT, BY THE
00:15:36.53\00:15:39.83
FAITHFUL OF GOD, ALL THE
WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
00:15:39.83\00:15:42.66
I HAVE A LIST - I DIDN'T BRING
IT WITH ME THIS MORNING - BUT
00:15:42.66\00:15:45.50
I'VE GOT A LIST OF 145 LANGUAGES
OF THE WORLD - DIFFERENT
00:15:45.50\00:15:50.30
LANGUAGES - THEIR
WORD FOR SATURDAY.
00:15:50.30\00:15:54.96
AND IN MOST OF THOSE LANGUAGES
- WELL, IN ALL 145 ON MY LIST -
00:15:54.96\00:15:59.90
THE WORD IS 'SABBATH.' IN
RUSSIAN THE WORD FOR SATURDAY?
00:15:59.90\00:16:03.86
SUBOTNIK, WHICH IS SABBATH.
IN SPANISH, THE WORD FOR
00:16:03.86\00:16:07.60
SATURDAY - USED - MANY -
WHAT IS IT? SABADO, RIGHT?
00:16:07.60\00:16:11.60
AND MANY OTHER
LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD.
00:16:11.60\00:16:13.60
SO IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT
THE SABBATH WAS KNOWN BY OTHER
00:16:13.60\00:16:17.23
LANGUAGES AND OTHER NATIONS
BESIDE ISRAEL, GOING BACK TO
00:16:17.23\00:16:20.40
CREATION. IT'S
ONE OF THE EARLIEST
00:16:20.40\00:16:22.70
INSTITUTIONS, RIGHT
THERE WITH MARRIAGE.
00:16:22.70\00:16:25.83
SO LET'S GET INTO THE TEACHINGS
OF JESUS DEALING WITH THE
00:16:25.83\00:16:29.90
SABBATH DAY. FIRST
OF ALL, WE'RE GOING TO
00:16:29.90\00:16:31.76
TALK ABOUT CHRIST THE
CREATOR OF THE SABBATH.
00:16:31.76\00:16:36.26
SO SOMEONE LOOK UP FOR ME -
WE'VE GOT SOME MICROPHONES, I
00:16:36.26\00:16:39.36
THINK, AND I NEED
SOMEONE WHO HAS COLOSSIANS 1:16.
00:16:39.36\00:16:43.53
YOU'VE GOT YOUR BIG FORTUNE
COOKIE WITH A SCRIPTURE ON IT.
00:16:43.53\00:16:46.23
WE'LL GET YOU A
MICROPHONE. YOU'LL BE NEXT.
00:16:46.23\00:16:48.26
GET READY AND I'LL BE - WHEN
THEY SIGNAL ME, WE'LL GO TO YOU.
00:16:48.26\00:16:51.76
AND I'M GOING TO READ JOHN 1
- EVERYONE KNOWS THESE IMMORTAL
00:16:51.76\00:16:55.26
WORDS - JOHN 1:1-3
- THE GOSPEL OF JOHN.
00:16:55.26\00:16:59.60
"IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD,
AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND
00:16:59.60\00:17:03.50
THE WORD WAS GOD. HE"
- NOW IT'S TALKING ABOUT
00:17:03.50\00:17:06.90
WORD IT SAYS 'HE' -
WHO IS IT TALKING ABOUT?
00:17:06.90\00:17:09.60
JESUS - "HE WAS IN
THE BEGINNING WITH GOD.
00:17:09.60\00:17:13.70
ALL THINGS WERE MADE THROUGH
HIM, AND WITHOUT HIM NOTHING WAS
00:17:13.70\00:17:17.03
MADE THAT WAS MADE."
NOTHING WAS MADE THAT WAS MADE
00:17:17.03\00:17:22.36
WITHOUT HIM. ALL
THINGS WERE MADE BY JESUS.
00:17:22.36\00:17:26.06
LET'S GO TO THAT NEXT
VERSE IN COLOSSIANS 1:16.
00:17:26.06\00:17:29.86
>>COLOSSIANS 1:16, "FOR BY HIM
ALL THINGS WERE CREATED THAT ARE
00:17:29.86\00:17:35.40
IN HEAVEN AND THAT ARE ON EARTH,
VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER
00:17:35.40\00:17:40.66
THRONES OR DOMINIONS OR
PRINCIPALITIES OR POWERS.
00:17:40.66\00:17:45.56
ALL THINGS WERE CREATED
THROUGH HIM AND FOR HIM."
00:17:45.56\00:17:49.30
>>ALL THINGS. AGAIN, WE READ
THAT IN JOHN, NOW WE'RE READING
00:17:49.30\00:17:53.76
IT IN COLOSSIANS BY PAUL
- ALL THINGS THAT WERE MADE.
00:17:53.76\00:17:57.33
GOD HAS CREATED ALL
THINGS THROUGH JESUS.
00:17:57.33\00:18:00.10
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU LOOK IN
ISAIAH 45:12 THE LORD SAYS, "I
00:18:00.10\00:18:04.80
HAVE MADE THE EARTH, AND CREATED
MAN ON IT. I - MY HANDS -
00:18:04.80\00:18:08.16
STRETCHED OUT THE HEAVENS,
AND ALL THEIR HOST I HAVE
00:18:08.16\00:18:10.33
COMMANDED." AND, OF COURSE,
THE HEAVENS - ASTRONOMY DICTATES
00:18:10.33\00:18:13.40
OUR TIME - I JUST WANT TO REMIND
YOU - DOES THE WHOLE WORLD
00:18:13.40\00:18:20.86
RECOGNIZE THE SEVEN-DAY WEEK?
OKAY. DOES THE WHOLE CIVILIZED
00:18:20.86\00:18:26.86
WORLD RECOGNIZE THAT
THE DAY HAS ABOUT 24 HOURS?
00:18:26.86\00:18:31.63
DOES THE WHOLE CIVILIZED WORLD
HAVE A YEAR DIVIDED UP INTO
00:18:31.63\00:18:36.13
APPROXIMATELY TWELVE MONTHS?
WITH A LEAP YEAR? THE WHOLE
00:18:36.13\00:18:39.83
WORLD, UNIVERSALLY, RECOGNIZES
THAT. WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHY
00:18:39.83\00:18:44.90
THE WHOLE WORLD HAS A
MONTH WITH ABOUT 30 DAYS IN IT.
00:18:44.90\00:18:50.73
THE WORD 'MONTH' COMES FROM
A PRIMITIVE WORD - WHERE WE GET
00:18:50.73\00:18:54.86
THE WORD 'MOON' AND IT'S BECAUSE
OUR MONTHS ARE LOOSELY - THEY
00:18:54.86\00:19:00.96
ORIGINATED WITH
THE LUNAR CALENDAR.
00:19:00.96\00:19:04.26
NOW WE'RE REALLY FOLLOWING
A SOLAR CALENDAR, BUT WE STILL
00:19:04.26\00:19:06.50
KEEP MONTHS BECAUSE IT STARTED
WITH THAT 27-DAY DIVISION.
00:19:06.50\00:19:12.86
WE ALL HAVE A YEAR - NOW THE
DIFFERENT CULTURES OF THE WORLD
00:19:12.86\00:19:16.00
- EVEN IN THE AMERICAS AMONG
THE AZTECS AND THE INCAS AND IN
00:19:16.00\00:19:21.06
AFRICA, THEY HAD YEARS THAT WERE
DIVIDED UP BY THE MONTHS OR THE
00:19:21.06\00:19:26.43
MOON CYCLES AND - WITH 365
OR 360 - THE JEWS HAD A LUNAR
00:19:26.43\00:19:32.83
CALENDAR WITH 360 DAYS BUT
THEY'D ADD AN EXTRA MONTH EVERY
00:19:32.83\00:19:35.96
13 YEARS BUT THEY ALL HAD ABOUT
360 - 365 DAYS IN IT BECAUSE,
00:19:35.96\00:19:42.36
ASTRONOMICALLY, THAT'S HOW
LONG IT TOOK THE EARTH TO MAKE A
00:19:42.36\00:19:46.40
COMPLETE CIRCLE AROUND THE
SUN AND THEY COULD SEE THAT AND
00:19:46.40\00:19:48.90
OBSERVE IT IN THE HEAVENS.
SO HERE'S THE QUESTION: WHY DOES
00:19:48.90\00:19:53.20
THE WHOLE WORLD OBSERVE A
SEVEN-DAY WEEK? WHAT IN THE SUN,
00:19:53.20\00:19:57.56
MOON, OR STARS - ASTRONOMY
- GIVES US A SEVEN-DAY WEEK?
00:19:57.56\00:20:01.13
YOU CAN REALLY ONLY TRACE IT TO
'IN THE BEGINNING GOD SAID.' YOU
00:20:01.13\00:20:07.90
KNOW FRANCE TRIED TO GO TO A
TEN-DAY WEEK - IT DIDN'T WORK.
00:20:07.90\00:20:11.80
DID YOU KNOW THAT EARLIER
ON, THE AMERICAN MILITARY, IN
00:20:11.80\00:20:15.06
LOOKING FOR EFFICIENCY, TRIED TO
PUT THE SOLDIERS ON A SCHEDULE
00:20:15.06\00:20:19.46
OF WORKING NINE DAYS
AND RESTING ON THE TENTH.
00:20:19.46\00:20:22.40
THIS WAS BACK DURING THE WAR
WHEN THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO
00:20:22.40\00:20:24.70
MILK THE MAXIMUM - THEY WANTED
TO KNOW TO WHAT LENGTHS THEY
00:20:24.70\00:20:27.66
COULD PUSH A HUMAN
WITHOUT BREAKDOWN -
00:20:27.66\00:20:30.26
HOW FREQUENTLY THEY NEEDED REST.
00:20:30.26\00:20:31.93
THEY TRIED DOING IT ONCE
EVERY TEN DAYS, IT DIDN'T WORK.
00:20:31.93\00:20:35.03
AND THEY REALIZED THAT THE BEST
SCHEDULE FOR THE HUMAN BODY IS
00:20:35.03\00:20:38.10
TO REST FROM YOUR
REGULAR LABOR ONE DAY IN SEVEN.
00:20:38.10\00:20:42.03
AND SO THE WORLD'S PRETTY
WELL ACCEPTED THAT NOW AND EVEN
00:20:42.03\00:20:46.60
MEDICAL SCIENCE IS.
SO THIS IS GOD'S DESIGN.
00:20:46.60\00:20:49.46
GOD CREATED THE SABBATH.
ONE MORE VERSE FOR YOU ON THAT:
00:20:49.46\00:20:52.46
HEBREWS 1, VERSES 1 AND 2 -
TALKING ABOUT JESUS THE CREATOR.
00:20:52.46\00:20:56.23
"GOD, WHO AT VARIOUS TIMES AND
IN VARIOUS WAYS SPOKE IN TIME
00:20:56.23\00:21:00.23
PAST TO THE FATHERS BY THE
PROPHETS, HAS IN THESE LAST DAYS
00:21:00.23\00:21:04.40
SPOKEN TO US BY HIS SON, WHOM
HE HAS APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL
00:21:04.40\00:21:08.33
THINGS, THROUGH WHOM
ALSO HE MADE THE WORLDS."
00:21:08.33\00:21:12.33
SO THROUGH WHOM DID
GOD MAKE THE WORLDS? JESUS.
00:21:12.33\00:21:16.36
SO ALL OF THAT IS SAID TO
EMPHASIZE A VERY IMPORTANT POINT
00:21:16.36\00:21:21.20
THAT WHEN JESUS TALKS ABOUT THE
SABBATH AND HE SAYS 'THE SON OF
00:21:21.20\00:21:24.43
MAN IS LORD OF THE SABBATH.'
HE REALLY IS THE LORD OF THE
00:21:24.43\00:21:29.10
SABBATH IN THAT ALL THINGS
THAT WERE MADE ARE MADE BY HIM.
00:21:29.10\00:21:32.03
HE MADE THE SABBATH
AND SO WHAT JESUS SAYS
00:21:32.03\00:21:36.53
REGARDING THE SABBATH GOES.
00:21:36.53\00:21:38.63
SOME PEOPLE THINK, 'WELL THE GOD
OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, UNDER THAT
00:21:38.63\00:21:41.93
JEWISH DISPENSATION, HE HAD A
SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH BUT JESUS,
00:21:41.93\00:21:45.03
THE GOD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, HE
HAS A FIRST-DAY SABBATH.' PLEASE
00:21:45.03\00:21:49.96
SHOW ME ANYWHERE IN THE
TEACHINGS OF JESUS WHERE HE ASKS
00:21:49.96\00:21:53.33
US TO KEEP THE FIRST DAY AS
THE SABBATH. THERE IS NOTHING.
00:21:53.33\00:21:59.86
BUT YOU'LL HEAR A LOT OF -
AND READING THIS WEEK I RAN INTO
00:21:59.86\00:22:02.96
SOME OF THE OTHER COMMENTATORS -
I WAS LOOKING UP SOME VERSES AND
00:22:02.96\00:22:05.76
THESE VERSES THAT TALK ABOUT THE
SABBATH ARE SO CLEAR THAT SOME
00:22:05.76\00:22:10.30
OF THE SUNDAY - FAMOUS SUNDAY
COMMENTATORS - WHO I RESPECT,
00:22:10.30\00:22:13.36
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF WHAT THEY
SAY, BUT WHEN THEY COME TO THESE
00:22:13.36\00:22:15.96
VERSES THEY ALMOST FEEL LIKE
THEY'VE GOT TO STOP AND MAKE A
00:22:15.96\00:22:18.43
DEFENSE FOR SUNDAY AND THE ONLY
PLACES THEY CAN POINT TO IS THEY
00:22:18.43\00:22:22.43
SAY, 'WELL, EUSEBIUS, IN THE
FIRST CENTURY, HE SAID THAT THE
00:22:22.43\00:22:25.70
CHRISTIANS GATHERED ON THE FIRST
DAY OF THE WEEK.' WELL, THEY
00:22:25.70\00:22:28.53
MIGHT HAVE, BUT IT DOESN'T SAY
THAT THEY CALLED IT A SABBATH.
00:22:28.53\00:22:30.93
AND EVEN IF THEY DID,
IT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE, RIGHT?
00:22:30.93\00:22:34.23
'OH, BUT IT SAYS THAT JESUS ROSE
ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.'
00:22:34.23\00:22:36.83
YEAH, THAT'S GOOD. I'M THANKFUL.
00:22:36.83\00:22:39.36
BUT IT DOESN'T SAY HE NOW SAYS
KEEP THIS AS THE NEW SABBATH
00:22:39.36\00:22:42.96
BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG
WITH THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH.
00:22:42.96\00:22:47.20
AND THEY'LL SAY, 'WELL, YEAH,
BUT IT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT
00:22:47.20\00:22:50.56
TAKING UP A COLLECTION ON THE
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.' THAT'S
00:22:50.56\00:22:54.10
IN 1 CORINTHIANS 16 - THEY
DID TAKE A COLLECTION UP ON THE
00:22:54.10\00:22:57.33
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK - NOT IN
CHURCH - IT SAYS IT WAS IN THEIR
00:22:57.33\00:23:00.60
HOMES - 'LAY MONEY ASIDE
THAT THERE BE NO GATHERING -
00:23:00.60\00:23:04.33
COLLECTION WHEN THEY GATHER
TOGETHER ON THE SABBATH.' THE
00:23:04.33\00:23:08.26
FIRST OF THE WEEK, WHEN YOU
GET YOUR BOOKS IN ORDER, SET IT
00:23:08.26\00:23:10.63
ASIDE. THERE'S
NOTHING IN THE NEW
00:23:10.63\00:23:12.50
TESTAMENT. THERE'S
NOT THE SHRED, NOT EVEN
00:23:12.50\00:23:15.66
THE HINT OF A COMMAND TO KEEP
THE FIRST DAY AS THE SABBATH.
00:23:15.66\00:23:20.33
SO THESE ARGUMENTS THAT YOU
HEAR QUITE FRANKLY ARE DESPERATE
00:23:20.33\00:23:26.16
ATTEMPTS TO CREATE
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
00:23:26.16\00:23:31.66
YOU DON'T WANT TO CREATE A NEW
COMMAND FROM GOD THAT IS GOING
00:23:31.66\00:23:35.06
TO OVERRULE A WRITTEN,
SPOKEN COMMAND FROM GOD WITH
00:23:35.06\00:23:38.23
CIRCUMSTANTIAL IDEAS. GOD
WOULD NEVER DO IT THAT WAY.
00:23:38.23\00:23:43.50
WHEN GOD SPEAKS WITH HIS VOICE
TO A NATION AND HE WRITES IT
00:23:43.50\00:23:48.76
WITH HIS FINGER AND HE PUTS
IT IN THE HOLIEST PLACE OF ALL -
00:23:48.76\00:23:53.66
TREATS IT WITH THE HOLIEST
REGARD - IF GOD WAS GOING TO
00:23:53.66\00:23:57.13
CHANGE ONE OF THOSE COMMANDS
- AND, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU
00:23:57.13\00:23:59.26
CONSIDER HE DOESN'T CHANGE THE
OTHER NINE - AND HE PUTS IT IN
00:23:59.26\00:24:03.56
THE MIDDLE OF THE LAW AND HE
BEGINS WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER'
00:24:03.56\00:24:08.40
- IF HE'S GOING TO CHANGE THAT
ONE THEN HE REALLY NEEDS TO HAVE
00:24:08.40\00:24:13.16
A MEGAPHONE IN THE BIBLE THAT
SAYS, 'KEEP THE FIRST DAY HOLY
00:24:13.16\00:24:17.36
NOW AND DO NOT
KEEP THE SEVENTH DAY.'
00:24:17.36\00:24:19.83
BUT THERE'S NOTHING
LIKE THAT, IS THERE?
00:24:19.83\00:24:22.66
AND SO, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR
BIBLE CHRISTIANS TO PUT ASIDE A
00:24:22.66\00:24:27.60
COMMAND OF GOD AND SAY,
'IT DOESN'T MATTER.' OR SAY,
00:24:27.60\00:24:30.46
'AS LONG AS IT'S A SEVENTH DAY.'
BUT DOES THE LORD SAY A SEVENTH
00:24:30.46\00:24:33.46
DAY OR DOES HE
SAY THE SEVENTH DAY?
00:24:33.46\00:24:36.30
HE'S VERY CLEAR -
VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT IT.
00:24:36.30\00:24:38.66
AND SO WE'LL GET INTO THIS MORE
IN THE LESSON HERE. OKAY, SO
00:24:38.66\00:24:41.53
THIS IS JESUS - COMMANDED -
JESUS CREATED THE SABBATH DAY.
00:24:41.53\00:24:45.23
ALRIGHT, 'CHRIST THE LORD OF THE
SABBATH.' NOW WE'RE GOING TO GET
00:24:45.23\00:24:51.23
INTO A SPECIFIC INCIDENT THAT
HAPPENED AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST
00:24:51.23\00:24:56.93
WONDER IF MAYBE WE OUGHT TO
GO TO MATTHEW 12 AND READ THIS
00:24:56.93\00:24:59.63
FIRST. SOMEBODY LOOK UP FOR ME
DEUTERONOMY 23:25. WHO HAS THAT
00:24:59.63\00:25:04.86
SLIP? MANJEET? LET'S GET YOU
A MICROPHONE. WHERE'S THE MIC?
00:25:04.86\00:25:08.53
HOLD YOUR HAND UP SO HE SEES YOU
- AND IN THE MEANTIME, LET'S GO
00:25:08.53\00:25:12.80
TO MATTHEW 12 AND THIS IS - THIS
IS A VERSE THAT DEALS WITH THIS
00:25:12.80\00:25:19.23
INCIDENT THAT BECAME A
POINT OF CONTENTION. MATTHEW 12,
00:25:19.23\00:25:24.96
WE'LL START WITHVERSE 1,
"AT THAT TIME JESUS WENT THROUGH
00:25:24.96\00:25:29.06
THE GRAIN FIELDS ON THE SABBATH.
AND HIS DISCIPLES WERE HUNGRY,
00:25:29.06\00:25:32.80
AND BEGAN TO PLUCK
HEADS OF GRAIN AND TO EAT."
00:25:32.80\00:25:35.60
NOW JUST, YOU KNOW, WHEN I
FIRST READ THIS - MAYBE YOU ALL
00:25:35.60\00:25:39.73
UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS, BUT I
GREW UP IN NEW YORK CITY AND WE
00:25:39.73\00:25:42.10
DON'T GROW A LOT OF WHEAT THERE
AND SO I DIDN'T KNOW AND EVEN
00:25:42.10\00:25:45.90
WHEN I - BORN IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA, I NEVER SAW THIS SO
00:25:45.90\00:25:48.56
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKED.
00:25:48.56\00:25:50.23
AND SO WHEN I FIRST READ THIS
IN THE BIBLE I SAID, 'WHAT WERE
00:25:50.23\00:25:52.56
THEY DOING?' AND WHEN
WHEAT BROWNS AND RIPENS
00:25:52.56\00:25:57.16
IN THE FIELD, YOU CAN EAT IT
- EVEN BEFORE IT GETS BROWN YOU
00:25:57.16\00:26:00.10
CAN EAT IT AND YOU JUST TAKE
IT, YOU POP THE HEADS OFF - YOU
00:26:00.10\00:26:03.50
PROBABLY POPPED A FOXTAIL OFF
THE GRAIN BEFORE - YOU RUB IT IN
00:26:03.50\00:26:07.46
YOUR HAND AND IT SEPARATES THE
HUSK FROM THE ACTUAL KERNELS OF
00:26:07.46\00:26:11.70
WHEAT, YOU BLOW - THE HUSK AND
THE CHAFF BLOWS AWAY, AND THEN
00:26:11.70\00:26:17.53
YOU THROW THE GRAINS IN YOUR
MOUTH AND IT'S JUST EATING RAW
00:26:17.53\00:26:20.76
WHEAT. BUT WHEN
YOU'RE HUNGRY - WHEN
00:26:20.76\00:26:23.46
YOU'RE REALLY HUNGRY,
EVEN THAT STARTS TO TASTE GOOD.
00:26:23.46\00:26:25.93
NOW I DO REMEMBER HITCHHIKING
THROUGH SOME COUNTRY ONE TIME
00:26:25.93\00:26:28.63
WHEN I WAS JUST HUNGRY AND MY
GIRLFRIEND AND I PULLED THE CORN
00:26:28.63\00:26:33.53
OUT OF THE FIELD AND WE BROKE
IT OFF AND WE JUST ATE RAW CORN.
00:26:33.53\00:26:37.16
ANY OF YOU EVER JUST EAT
RAW CORN OUT OF THE FIELD?
00:26:37.16\00:26:39.86
AS FAR AS I KNOW
IT DIDN'T HURT ME.
00:26:39.86\00:26:41.40
IT TASTED PRETTY
GOOD WHEN YOU'RE HUNGRY.
00:26:41.40\00:26:43.16
THEY SAY IT'S SAFER TO COOK
IT AND - BUT - SO THE DISCIPLES,
00:26:43.16\00:26:47.80
THEY'RE JUST - IT'S NOT HEAVY
LABOR, THEY'RE JUST POPPING OFF
00:26:47.80\00:26:51.70
THESE GRAINS. THEY'RE
WALKING AS THEY DO IT.
00:26:51.70\00:26:53.60
THEY BLOW OFF THE HUSK AND
THEY THROW THE KERNELS IN THEIR
00:26:53.60\00:26:55.83
MOUTHS. BUT SOME OF
THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS WERE
00:26:55.83\00:26:59.46
WATCHING AS THEY DID THIS.
LET ME FINISH READING HERE.
00:26:59.46\00:27:03.13
WHEN - VERSE 2 - "AND WHEN THE
PHARISEES" - THIS IS MATTHEW 12,
00:27:03.13\00:27:05.40
VERSE 2 - "AND WHEN THE
PHARISEES SAW IT, THEY SAID TO
00:27:05.40\00:27:08.03
HIM," - THEY MUST HAVE JUST
BEEN TRACKING HIM ALL THE TIME -
00:27:08.03\00:27:11.36
SPIES WATCHING HIM - "'LOOK,
YOUR DISCIPLES ARE DOING WHAT IS
00:27:11.36\00:27:15.33
NOT LAWFUL TO DO
ON THE SABBATH!'"
00:27:15.33\00:27:18.03
AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID,
"HAVE YOU NOT READ WHAT DAVID
00:27:18.03\00:27:21.83
DID WHEN HE WAS HUNGRY, HE AND
THOSE WHO WERE WITH HIM: " - AND
00:27:21.83\00:27:24.46
THAT'S IN 1 SAMUEL 21:6 - "'HOW
HE ENTERED THE HOUSE OF GOD AND
00:27:24.46\00:27:28.13
ATE THE SHOWBREAD WHICH WAS NOT
LAWFUL FOR HIM TO EAT, NOR FOR
00:27:28.13\00:27:31.56
THOSE WHO WERE WITH HIM,
BUT ONLY FOR THE PRIESTS?
00:27:31.56\00:27:34.30
OR HAVE YOU NOT READ IN THE LAW
THAT ON THE SABBATH THE PRIESTS
00:27:34.30\00:27:36.56
IN THE TEMPLE PROFANE THE
SABBATH, AND ARE BLAMELESS?
00:27:36.56\00:27:39.63
YET I SAY TO YOU THAT IN THIS
PLACE THERE IS ONE GREATER THAN
00:27:39.63\00:27:42.33
THE TEMPLE. BUT IF
YOU HAD KNOWN WHAT THIS
00:27:42.33\00:27:45.13
MEANS, 'I DESIRE MERCY AND NOT
SACRIFICE,' YOU WOULD NOT HAVE
00:27:45.13\00:27:49.26
CONDEMNED THE GUILTLESS."
- JESUS IS SAYING WHAT THE
00:27:49.26\00:27:52.20
APOSTLES DID AND WHAT DAVID DID,
THEY ARE GUILTLESS - "FOR THE
00:27:52.20\00:27:55.83
SON OF MAN IS LORD
EVEN OF THE SABBATH."
00:27:55.83\00:27:58.60
ALRIGHT NOW, LET'S START WITH
THE EXAMPLE THAT JESUS GIVES -
00:27:58.60\00:28:01.30
THE TEACHING JESUS GIVES
- TALKING ABOUT THE GRAIN.
00:28:01.30\00:28:04.26
AND MANJEET, WHY DON'T YOU READ
THAT VERSE TO US THAT'S FROM
00:28:04.26\00:28:06.76
DEUTERONOMY 23:25.
00:28:06.76\00:28:08.93
>>"WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR
NEIGHBOR'S STANDING GRAIN, YOU
00:28:08.93\00:28:12.66
MAY PLUCK THE HEADS WITH YOUR
HAND, BUT YOU SHALL NOT USE A
00:28:12.66\00:28:19.73
SICKLE ON YOUR
NEIGHBOR'S STANDING GRAIN."
00:28:19.73\00:28:23.96
>>DID YOU EVER SEE, IN
INDIA, WHERE THEY HARVEST WITH A
00:28:23.96\00:28:25.96
SICKLE? I BET YOU DID, YEAH.
00:28:25.96\00:28:27.46
HOW MANY OF YOU - NOT TOO MANY
OF YOU REMEMBER BECAUSE FOR THE
00:28:27.46\00:28:31.20
LAST 150 YEARS WE'VE HAD JOHN
DEERE TRACTORS IN NORTH AMERICA,
00:28:31.20\00:28:34.80
BUT YOU GO TO MANY PARTS OF THE
WORLD - YOU USED TO SEE IT IN
00:28:34.80\00:28:36.93
UKRAINE A FEW YEARS AGO - THEY
HAVE THESE BIG - WHAT WAS ON THE
00:28:36.93\00:28:40.23
FLAG - THE RUSSIAN
FLAG? IT'S A SICKLE.
00:28:40.23\00:28:44.50
BECAUSE IT WAS VERY COMMON, YOU
KNOW, THEY HAD A HANDLE UP HERE,
00:28:44.50\00:28:47.16
A HOLDING PLACE DOWN HERE, A
LONG, VERY, VERY SHARP KNIFE,
00:28:47.16\00:28:50.90
AND THE MEN WOULD GO THROUGH AND
THEY'D GO LIKE THIS, AND HARVEST
00:28:50.90\00:28:53.76
THE GRAIN AND THE WOMEN WOULD
COME AFTERWARD AND THEY WOULD
00:28:53.76\00:28:56.60
COLLECT AND YOU HAVE TO USE A
SWEEPING MOTION BECAUSE YOU DO
00:28:56.60\00:28:58.86
IT ALL DAY LONG AND IT
NEEDS TO BE VERY NATURAL.
00:28:58.86\00:29:01.30
AND THE WOMEN WOULD COME THROUGH
AND OTHERS WOULD COME THROUGH
00:29:01.30\00:29:03.43
AND THEY'D GATHER THEM TOGETHER
AND THEY'D TAKE THEM AND THEY'D
00:29:03.43\00:29:05.23
BEAT THE HEADS OFF IT AND
EVENTUALLY THEY'D SEPARATE THE
00:29:05.23\00:29:09.83
CHAFF WITH THE
WINNOWING FANS AND -
00:29:09.83\00:29:11.73
AND SO YOU WEREN'T
ALLOWED - LET ME BACK UP.
00:29:11.73\00:29:15.60
I WANT TO READ SOMETHING ELSE
TO YOU BEFORE I GET TO THAT.
00:29:15.60\00:29:18.33
LEVITICUS 23:22 - WERE THEY
STEALING THIS PERSON'S GRAIN?
00:29:18.33\00:29:23.46
MAYBE IT WASN'T BREAKING THE
SABBATH, BUT WERE THEY STEALING?
00:29:23.46\00:29:26.20
LEVITICUS 23, VERSE 22, MOSES
SAID, "WHEN YOU REAP THE HARVEST
00:29:26.20\00:29:31.13
OF YOUR LAND, YOU SHALL NOT
WHOLLY REAP THE CORNERS OF YOUR
00:29:31.13\00:29:35.90
FIELD WHEN YOU REAP, NOR SHALL
YOU GATHER ANY GLEANING FROM
00:29:35.90\00:29:39.36
YOUR HARVEST. YOU
SHALL LEAVE THEM FOR THE
00:29:39.36\00:29:41.73
POOR AND FOR THE STRANGER:
I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD."
00:29:41.73\00:29:45.96
NOW AS YOU GO UP AND DOWN
A FIELD AND THE TRACTORS TURN
00:29:45.96\00:29:48.76
AROUND - AND EVEN WHEN THEY'RE
SCYTHING THEY TURN AROUND AND
00:29:48.76\00:29:51.16
COME BACK, YOU KNOW, IT'S
SORT OF A CIRCULAR PROCESS WHEN
00:29:51.16\00:29:56.50
YOU'RE GOING UP AND - AND
SOMETIMES THE CORNERS WERE THE
00:29:56.50\00:30:00.46
LAST THING YOU'D DO BECAUSE
THEY KIND OF - THE LITTLE PIECES
00:30:00.46\00:30:03.46
THAT YOU MISSED IN THE CORNER.
MOSES SAID, 'LEAVE THE CORNERS.
00:30:03.46\00:30:07.00
LET THE POOR HAVE
SOMETHING THEY CAN EAT.
00:30:07.00\00:30:08.86
DON'T COMPLETELY SHAKE EVERY
APPLE OUT OF YOUR TREE OR PICK
00:30:08.86\00:30:11.80
EVERY GRAPE OFF YOUR VINES, BUT
LEAVE SOMETHING FOR THE POOR,
00:30:11.80\00:30:15.23
ESPECIALLY BY THE
ROADS BY WHERE THEY TRAVEL.
00:30:15.23\00:30:18.10
GOD SAID THE LORD'LL BLESS THE
REST OF IT IF YOU DO THIS.' SO
00:30:18.10\00:30:21.80
THE DISCIPLES HAD EVERY RIGHT,
ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSES,
00:30:21.80\00:30:24.40
TO GLEAN. THEY WERE
WALKING AS THEY WERE DOING IT.
00:30:24.40\00:30:27.23
THEY WEREN'T CUTTING THE STUFF
DOWN AND PUTTING IT IN A BAG.
00:30:27.23\00:30:29.30
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.
AND SO THEY'RE JUST GLEANING.
00:30:29.30\00:30:32.10
WHAT THEY'RE DOING
IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE.
00:30:32.10\00:30:34.93
THEY WERE NOT
TAKING A SICKLE OUT.
00:30:34.93\00:30:36.60
WERE THEY BREAKING THE
LAW OF GOD BY DOING THIS?
00:30:36.60\00:30:39.76
WERE THEY BREAKING THE SABBATH?
ANYTHING WRONG WITH EATING ON
00:30:39.76\00:30:43.16
SABBATH? NO. IT
SHOULD BE A BLESSING.
00:30:43.16\00:30:49.10
THEY WEREN'T
BREAKING THE LAW OF MOSES.
00:30:49.10\00:30:51.73
THEY WEREN'T
BREAKING THE SABBATH.
00:30:51.73\00:30:53.56
WHAT THEY WERE BREAKING
IS A MAN-MADE TRADITION.
00:30:53.56\00:30:56.63
DIDN'T JESUS FREQUENTLY SAY,
'YOU HAVE A FINE WAY OF SETTING
00:30:56.63\00:31:01.10
ASIDE THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD IN ORDER TO OBSERVE YOUR
00:31:01.10\00:31:03.93
TRADITION?' AND THE
LORD TELLS US 'IN VAIN'
00:31:03.93\00:31:07.86
- HE SAYS IN MARK - 'IN VAIN
DO THEY WORSHIP ME TEACHING FOR
00:31:07.86\00:31:10.43
DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF
MEN.' AND SO THERE WERE A LOT OF
00:31:10.43\00:31:14.90
MAN-MADE COMMANDMENTS
THAT ACTUALLY WENT AGAINST THE
00:31:14.90\00:31:18.26
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. ALL
OF THE CONTENTION THAT JESUS
00:31:18.26\00:31:21.56
HAD WITH THEM REGARDING THE
SABBATH - THEY ACCUSED HIM OF
00:31:21.56\00:31:24.63
SABBATH BREAKING. DID
JESUS BREAK THE SABBATH?
00:31:24.63\00:31:26.86
NO, THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS
SAID, 'I HAVE KEPT MY FATHER'S
00:31:26.86\00:31:30.23
COMMANDMENTS.' HE
DIDN'T BREAK THE SABBATH.
00:31:30.23\00:31:32.00
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SIN. JESUS
NEVER BROKE THE SABBATH DAY.
00:31:32.00\00:31:35.03
HE BROKE THEIR
TRADITIONS OF THE SABBATH DAY.
00:31:35.03\00:31:38.60
THAT'S WHAT THAT
IS TALKING ABOUT.
00:31:38.60\00:31:40.03
ALRIGHT, SO - AND THEN JESUS
GOES ON - I JUST WANT TO TALK
00:31:40.03\00:31:43.80
ABOUT THE TEACHINGS
OF CHRIST ON THE SABBATH.
00:31:43.80\00:31:45.53
JESUS GIVES TWO
EXAMPLES IN MATTHEW 12.
00:31:45.53\00:31:48.13
REMEMBER HE SAID, 'HAVE YOU NOT
READ WHAT DAVID DID?' NOW HOW
00:31:48.13\00:31:51.53
MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE STORY
THAT JESUS IS REFERRING TO?
00:31:51.53\00:31:54.63
DAVID IS RUNNING FROM
KING SAUL AND IN RUNNING -
00:31:54.63\00:31:58.80
HE'S RUNNING FOR HIS
LIFE. HE HAS NO FOOD.
00:31:58.80\00:32:01.13
HE MAYBE HAS A FEW MEN WITH HIM
BECAUSE, AT THAT POINT, HE WAS A
00:32:01.13\00:32:03.60
CAPTAIN IN THE ARMY OF SAUL
AND SO DAVID TELLS HIS MEN -
00:32:03.60\00:32:07.83
HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, 'WAIT HERE.
00:32:07.83\00:32:09.23
I'M GOING TO GO
TALK TO THE PRIEST.
00:32:09.23\00:32:10.93
AND I WENT TO THE PRIEST AND HE
SAID, 'DO YOU HAVE A SWORD?' -
00:32:10.93\00:32:12.80
'I'M ON URGENT
BUSINESS.' AND HE SAID, 'WELL,
00:32:12.80\00:32:15.00
THE ONLY SWORD WE'VE GOT HERE
IS GOLIATH'S SWORD.' DAVID SAID,
00:32:15.00\00:32:17.36
'I'LL TAKE IT. THERE'S
NONE LIKE IT. AND, BY THE WAY,
00:32:17.36\00:32:19.83
I PROBABLY SHOULD OWN
THAT ANYHOW BECAUSE I KILLED
00:32:19.83\00:32:22.13
THE GIANT.' AND SO HE GIVES HIM
- GOLIATH'S GOT THIS GREAT BIG
00:32:22.13\00:32:25.43
LONG IRON SWORD. SO
HE TAKES IT. HE SAYS,
00:32:25.43\00:32:28.00
'DO YOU HAVE ANY FOOD?' HE
SAYS, 'SORRY, WE HAVE NO FOOD.
00:32:28.00\00:32:30.80
THE ONLY FOOD WE HAVE IS THE
SHOWBREAD THAT WAS IN THE HOLY
00:32:30.80\00:32:35.43
OF HOLIES THAT
THEY WOULD REPLACE.
00:32:35.43\00:32:37.66
AND HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, WE COULD
GIVE YOU THE OLD BREAD, BUT
00:32:37.66\00:32:40.33
THAT'S HOLY BREAD.' AND HE
SAYS, 'WE'RE ON URGENT BUSINESS.
00:32:40.33\00:32:42.66
WE'RE HUNGRY.' AND HE
SAID, 'WELL, THAT'LL BE OKAY.'
00:32:42.66\00:32:44.66
AND SO THEY
GIVE DAVID THE BREAD.
00:32:44.66\00:32:46.66
SO JESUS IS POINTING BACK TO
THAT EXPERIENCE AND HE'S SAYING
00:32:46.66\00:32:49.63
- DAVID WAS EATING BREAD THAT,
TECHNICALLY, WAS HOLY BREAD THAT
00:32:49.63\00:32:53.36
WAS NOT TO BE EATEN BY THE
COMMON PEOPLE, BUT IT WAS AN
00:32:53.36\00:32:56.56
EMERGENCY AND HE WAS
ON THE KING'S BUSINESS.
00:32:56.56\00:32:59.00
AND SO SOMETIMES
THINGS ARE JUST PRACTICAL.
00:32:59.00\00:33:02.80
YOU CAN READ A STORY WHERE
IN - YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE THE
00:33:02.80\00:33:07.76
SCRIPTURE
REFERENCE AT MY FINGERTIPS.
00:33:07.76\00:33:09.10
SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO FIND IT AND
SHARE IT WITH ME LATER, BUT WHEN
00:33:09.10\00:33:11.90
THEY WERE RE-CLEANSING THE
TEMPLE AND WHEN THEY WERE DOING
00:33:11.90\00:33:15.03
THE PASSOVER IN THE DAYS OF
HEZEKIAH, THAT THE LEVITES THAT
00:33:15.03\00:33:18.23
WERE SUPPOSED TO DO IT DIDN'T
HAVE TIME TO PROPERLY GO THROUGH
00:33:18.23\00:33:21.83
THE CLEANSING TO DO IT AND HE
SAID, 'LORD, FORGIVE US BECAUSE
00:33:21.83\00:33:26.26
WE WEREN'T READY ON THE
APPROPRIATE DAY.' AND GOD SAID,
00:33:26.26\00:33:29.23
YOU KNOW, HE WOULD FORGIVE THEM.
SOMETIMES GOD WAS PRACTICAL.
00:33:29.23\00:33:34.16
AND SO, JESUS IS SAYING
THEY WERE HUNGRY. FEED THEM.
00:33:34.16\00:33:37.20
AND THEN CHRIST USES THE EXAMPLE
- HE SAID, 'ON THE SABBATH DAY'
00:33:37.20\00:33:41.40
- I WAS JUST TALKING TO A FRIEND
YESTERDAY ABOUT LAST WEEK WAS A
00:33:41.40\00:33:45.46
VERY BUSY WEEK BECAUSE AS A
PASTOR YOU'RE BUSY ON SABBATH -
00:33:45.46\00:33:49.60
WE HAD SOMETHING GOING SABBATH
MORNING, SATURDAY NIGHT, SUNDAY
00:33:49.60\00:33:53.43
THERE WAS A WEDDING -
INVOLVED IN THE WEDDING.
00:33:53.43\00:33:56.16
SUNDAY NIGHT HAD THE RADIO
PROGRAM THEN GO TO AMAZING FACTS
00:33:56.16\00:33:59.06
THROUGH THE WEEK AND DO YOUR
AMAZING FACTS AND CHURCH WORK
00:33:59.06\00:34:01.46
ALL WEEK LONG. AND I
WAS TELLING HIM YESTERDAY,
00:34:01.46\00:34:04.40
I SAID, 'OH MAN, I COULD USE A
BREAK.' HE SAID, 'YEAH, YOU GUYS
00:34:04.40\00:34:06.33
YOU WORK PRETTY HARD ON
SABBATH.' HE SAID, 'FOR ME, I'LL
00:34:06.33\00:34:08.90
BE RESTING TOMORROW, BUT YOU
GUYS ARE BUSY.' JESUS SAID THE
00:34:08.90\00:34:13.63
PRIESTS PROFANE - IT'S AN
INTERESTING WORD THAT JESUS USED
00:34:13.63\00:34:17.00
- HE SAID, 'THE PRIESTS
PROFANE THE SABBATH AND YET ARE
00:34:17.00\00:34:19.70
GUILTLESS.' NOW
WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THAT?
00:34:19.70\00:34:22.56
WORK THAT THEY DO - THE PRIESTS
- ON THE SACRIFICE THERE WERE
00:34:22.56\00:34:27.10
TWICE AS MANY - ON THE SABBATH
DAY THERE WERE TWICE AS MANY
00:34:27.10\00:34:29.33
SACRIFICES AND SO
THE PRIESTS WERE BUSY.
00:34:29.33\00:34:33.00
AND SOME OF THE LEVITES, THEY
WERE KEEPING THE FIRE GOING ON
00:34:33.00\00:34:34.66
THE ALTAR. THEY
WERE KEEPING FRESH WATER
00:34:34.66\00:34:36.83
COMING FOR THE LAVER. SO
WHEN OUR DEACONS ARE TAKING
00:34:36.83\00:34:39.70
CARE OF THE BAPTISTRY ARE THEY
BREAKING THE SABBATH ON SABBATH?
00:34:39.70\00:34:43.83
NO. THERE'S PRACTICAL THINGS
THAT NEED TO BE DONE INVOLVED IN
00:34:43.83\00:34:46.93
THE WORSHIP OF GOD AND JESUS
SAID, 'DON'T CONDEMN PEOPLE THAT
00:34:46.93\00:34:51.23
ARE DOING THESE THINGS' - NOW,
I THINK THERE'S UNNECESSARY WORK
00:34:51.23\00:34:54.23
THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE TRY TO
SQUEEZE IN ON THE SABBATH THAT'S
00:34:54.23\00:34:56.96
NOT NECESSARY. WE
OUGHT TO GET EVERYTHING OUT
00:34:56.96\00:34:59.00
OF THE WAY THAT WE CAN. IF
THERE'S GOING TO BE A CHURCH
00:34:59.00\00:35:01.43
FELLOWSHIP DINNER, SET UP
THE CHAIRS, IF YOU CAN, THE DAY
00:35:01.43\00:35:04.13
BEFORE, RIGHT? BUT
WHAT IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER
00:35:04.13\00:35:08.53
MEETING AFTER YOU HAVE YOUR
FELLOWSHIP DINNER AND YOU'VE GOT
00:35:08.53\00:35:11.43
TO MOVE THE
CHAIRS OR THE TABLES?
00:35:11.43\00:35:14.20
YOU KNOW, IF IT'S PART OF A
WORSHIP SERVICE, AN EVANGELISTIC
00:35:14.20\00:35:16.60
MEETING, SOMETIMES YOU
HAVE TO DO THOSE THINGS.
00:35:16.60\00:35:19.46
AND SO THE PHARISEE WILL COME
ALONG AND SAY, 'YOU'RE DOING
00:35:19.46\00:35:22.70
THAT WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL.' BUT
JESUS IS SAYING, 'YOU KNOW, IF
00:35:22.70\00:35:26.60
IT'S INVOLVED IN THE WORSHIP
OF GOD AND THE PRIESTS ARE
00:35:26.60\00:35:30.50
GUILTLESS WHEN
THEY'RE DOING THESE THINGS.
00:35:30.50\00:35:32.46
AND THOSE WEREN'T JUST HIGH
PRIESTS, THOSE WERE THE LEVITES
00:35:32.46\00:35:34.40
AS WELL. ANYBODY
INVOLVED - THAT'S APPROPRIATE.
00:35:34.40\00:35:37.63
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
OKAY, SO WE'VE GOT TO BE
00:35:37.63\00:35:40.53
PRACTICAL ABOUT IT.
ALRIGHT, 'THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS'
00:35:40.53\00:35:42.90
IS OUR NEXT SECTION WHERE WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS.
00:35:42.90\00:35:46.86
AND SOMEBODY'S
GOING TO LOOK UP LUKE 6:6.
00:35:46.86\00:35:50.56
OKAY, JOLYNE. LET'S
GET YOU A MICROPHONE.
00:35:50.56\00:35:52.93
AND I'M GOING TO READ -
WHAT'S THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS?
00:35:52.93\00:35:56.13
A CHRISTIAN IS A
FOLLOWER OF CHRIST.
00:35:56.13\00:35:59.50
WHAT WAS JESUS' PRACTICE
REGARDING THE SABBATH DAY?
00:35:59.50\00:36:03.70
"SO HE CAME TO NAZARETH,
WHERE HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP.
00:36:03.70\00:36:08.53
AND HE SURPRISED EVERYBODY WHEN
OUT OF NOWHERE HE WENT TO THE
00:36:08.53\00:36:11.56
SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH."
I JUST WONDER IF ANYONE'S
00:36:11.56\00:36:15.20
READING ALONG WITH ME. I'M
SORRY, MAYBE I SHOULDN'T DO
00:36:15.20\00:36:18.83
THAT. I'M TEASING. IT
ACTUALLY SAYS, "AND AS HIS
00:36:18.83\00:36:23.16
CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE
SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY,
00:36:23.16\00:36:28.56
AND STOOD UP TO
READ." WHAT IS A CUSTOM?
00:36:28.56\00:36:31.33
WHEN IT SAYS HE - HE ENTERED
NAZARETH - NOW THIS MEANS HE'S
00:36:31.33\00:36:35.10
BEGUN HIS PUBLIC MINISTRY WHEN
HE GOT TO HIS HOMETOWN HE DID AS
00:36:35.10\00:36:39.00
HAD BEEN HIS CUSTOM GROWING UP.
HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE AND
00:36:39.00\00:36:44.63
HE PARTICIPATED IN THE
WORSHIP AND THEY ASKED HIM, AS A
00:36:44.63\00:36:48.36
VISITING FAMILY
MEMBER, TO READ FROM THE BIBLE.
00:36:48.36\00:36:52.63
THAT WAS HIS CUSTOM. GOING
TO CHURCH. READING THE BIBLE.
00:36:52.63\00:36:56.50
THAT'S A VERY
SIMPLE LOOSE TRANSLATION.
00:36:56.50\00:36:58.56
THE PRACTICE OF JESUS, EVERY
SABBATH DAY, WAS TO GO TO CHURCH
00:36:58.56\00:37:01.70
AND READ THE BIBLE. AND
WE OUGHT TO BE DOING THAT
00:37:01.70\00:37:05.96
TOO IF THIS IS WHAT JESUS DID.
ALRIGHT, READ FOR US LUKE 6:6.
00:37:05.96\00:37:10.36
>>"NOW IT HAPPENED ON
ANOTHER SABBATH, ALSO,
00:37:10.36\00:37:13.76
THAT HE ENTERED THE
SYNAGOGUE AND TAUGHT.
00:37:13.76\00:37:16.56
AND A MAN WAS THERE
WHOSE RIGHT HAND WAS WITHERED."
00:37:16.56\00:37:20.00
>>OKAY. AND WE'LL
GET TO WHAT HAPPENED
00:37:20.00\00:37:22.36
WITH THE MAN A LITTLE LATER WHEN
WE TALK ABOUT MIRACLES OF THE
00:37:22.36\00:37:24.60
SABBATH. BUT DON'T MISS THE
POINT. HERE'S ANOTHER SABBATH.
00:37:24.60\00:37:27.86
WE READ THE FIRST ONE, LUKE
4 AND HERE WE ARE - LUKE 6 -
00:37:27.86\00:37:30.96
"...IT HAPPENED ON ANOTHER
SABBATH, ALSO, THAT HE ENTERED
00:37:30.96\00:37:32.80
THE SYNAGOGUE..."
SO WAS IT A CUSTOM?
00:37:32.80\00:37:34.86
AND NOW YOU GO TO LUKE 13:10,
"NOW HE WAS TEACHING IN ONE OF
00:37:34.86\00:37:40.30
THE SYNAGOGUES ON THE SABBATH."
NOW IF LUKE, THREE TIMES - AND
00:37:40.30\00:37:45.10
LUKE IS A JEW OR A GENTILE?
PAUL PROBABLY MET LUKE IN
00:37:45.10\00:37:49.96
MACEDONIA WHEN HE WAS
PREACHING AMONG THE GENTILES.
00:37:49.96\00:37:52.66
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT LUKE
IS A GENTILE AND SO HERE, THREE
00:37:52.66\00:37:57.33
TIMES, IT SAYS THAT THIS
PRACTICE OF JESUS WAS - HE COULD
00:37:57.33\00:38:01.40
HAVE SAID 'HE WAS FOLLOWING
THE JEWISH CUSTOM OF SABBATH
00:38:01.40\00:38:04.93
KEEPING.' BUT, YOU KNOW,
EVERYTHING THAT LUKE SAYS - AND
00:38:04.93\00:38:08.40
LUKE WROTE HIS BOOK - HOW MANY
OF YOU KNOW WHO LUKE WROTE TO?
00:38:08.40\00:38:12.33
THE GOSPEL OF LUKE IN THE BOOK
OF ACTS, WRITTEN BY LUKE, WHO
00:38:12.33\00:38:15.03
WAS HE WRITING TO? THEOPHILUS
- OH MAN, I KNOW IT BY HEART.
00:38:15.03\00:38:22.06
NOW I CAN'T SAY IT. THEOPHILUS.
00:38:22.06\00:38:23.80
AM I SAYING THAT RIGHT?
HE'S WRITING TO A GREEK.
00:38:23.80\00:38:26.90
AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD
TIME - BECAUSE LUKE TALKS ABOUT
00:38:26.90\00:38:30.03
A NUMBER OF JEWISH CUSTOMS AS HE
WRITES, BUT HERE HE NEVER SAYS
00:38:30.03\00:38:34.46
ANYTHING ABOUT THE
SABBATH, MEANING THAT IT WAS A
00:38:34.46\00:38:37.03
SELF-EVIDENT TRUTH TO ALL OF THE
BELIEVERS THAT THEY KEPT THIS
00:38:37.03\00:38:41.96
COMMANDMENT. SO HE DOESN'T
SAY, 'WELL, THAT WAS THE JEWISH
00:38:41.96\00:38:45.13
SABBATH AND, OF COURSE, WE'RE
KEEPING THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH.'
00:38:45.13\00:38:47.43
HE STATES IT AS A FACT FOR
ALL BELIEVERS ALL THROUGH HIS
00:38:47.43\00:38:50.66
WRITINGS. 'THIS WAS THE PRACTICE
OF JESUS.' AND THEN YOU LOOK AT
00:38:50.66\00:38:55.86
EVEN THE DEATH OF CHRIST.
LUKE 23, VERSE 56, "THEN THEY
00:38:55.86\00:39:02.23
RETURNED AND PREPARED
SPICES AND FRAGRANT OILS.
00:39:02.23\00:39:05.66
AND THEY RESTED ON THE SABBATH
DAY ACCORDING TO THE JEWISH
00:39:05.66\00:39:09.36
TRADITION." IS
THAT WHAT HE SAYS?
00:39:09.36\00:39:12.73
"THEY RESTED ON THE SABBATH
ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT."
00:39:12.73\00:39:15.90
YOU GO TO LUKE 24, VERSE 1, "NOW
ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK,
00:39:15.90\00:39:19.16
VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING,
THEY, AND CERTAIN OTHER WOMEN
00:39:19.16\00:39:22.10
CAME TO THE TOMB
BRINGING THE SPICES..."
00:39:22.10\00:39:24.23
AND THE OTHER GOSPELS SAY
'WHEN THE SABBATH WAS PASSED.'
00:39:24.23\00:39:28.13
NOW WE'RE TALKING HERE ABOUT
THE PRACTICE OF JESUS AND THE
00:39:28.13\00:39:31.73
EXAMPLE OF JESUS - YOU'RE
THINKING, 'PASTOR DOUG, WHY DID
00:39:31.73\00:39:33.90
YOU PUT THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS
IN - WHY'D YOU PUT THIS VERSE IN
00:39:33.90\00:39:37.23
UNDER 'THE EXAMPLE OF
JESUS?' WHAT DID JESUS TEACH HIS
00:39:37.23\00:39:42.96
DISCIPLES DURING THE THREE AND
A HALF YEARS THAT HE WAS WITH
00:39:42.96\00:39:46.00
THEM, REGARDING HOW
HE VALUED THE SABBATH?
00:39:46.00\00:39:50.20
WHATEVER HE WAS TEACHING THEM,
HE CERTAINLY DID NOT TEACH THEM,
00:39:50.20\00:39:55.23
'DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE SABBATH
DAY ANYMORE.' OR 'THIS IS A
00:39:55.23\00:39:57.76
JEWISH TRADITION, SOON TO PASS
AWAY.' THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS
00:39:57.76\00:40:02.03
WERE SO CAREFUL ABOUT SABBATH
OBSERVANCE, THAT EVEN WHEN IT
00:40:02.03\00:40:07.40
MEANT HIS BODY
NEEDED TO BE EMBALMED ON
00:40:07.40\00:40:10.86
THE SABBATH DAY -
FRIDAY AFTERNOON HE DIED.
00:40:10.86\00:40:14.50
THEY HURRIED - THEY WENT TO
PILATE - THEY DIDN'T WANT THE
00:40:14.50\00:40:16.93
BODIES LEFT ON THE CROSS DURING
THE SABBATH - ESPECIALLY SINCE
00:40:16.93\00:40:20.00
IT WAS A HIGH SABBATH BEING -
DURING THE PASSOVER - THAT THE
00:40:20.00\00:40:24.66
DISCIPLES DID ALL THEY COULD AND
THEY SAID, 'WE WILL NOT BE ABLE
00:40:24.66\00:40:28.10
TO FINISH EMBALMING HIS
BODY BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN.
00:40:28.10\00:40:31.90
WE WILL COME BACK SUNDAY MORNING
BECAUSE THE FULL THREE DAYS WILL
00:40:31.90\00:40:34.63
NOT HAVE PASSED YET BETWEEN
SATURDAY - BETWEEN FRIDAY
00:40:34.63\00:40:37.60
AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY MORNING.
THEY FIGURED THAT AFTER A PERSON
00:40:37.60\00:40:41.20
DIED, IF THREE 24-HOUR PERIODS
WENT BY, DECAY HAD SET IN AND
00:40:41.20\00:40:47.30
YOU HAD TO EMBALM
THEM BEFORE THAT TIME.
00:40:47.30\00:40:49.50
REMEMBER WHEN LAZARUS WAS DEAD
FOUR DAYS, MARTHA PROTESTED WHEN
00:40:49.50\00:40:52.70
JESUS SAID, 'ROLL AWAY
THE STONE' BECAUSE SHE SAID,
00:40:52.70\00:40:54.66
'HE'LL STINK.
DECAY WILL HAVE SET IN.'
00:40:54.66\00:40:57.70
BUT THEY COULD STILL
FINISH EMBALMING HIS BODY SUNDAY
00:40:57.70\00:41:00.66
MORNING BECAUSE BETWEEN FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING YOU
00:41:00.66\00:41:03.03
DON'T HAVE
THREE 24-HOUR PERIODS.
00:41:03.03\00:41:05.36
THE THREE DAYS AND THREE
NIGHTS THAT JESUS TALKS ABOUT IN
00:41:05.36\00:41:08.30
MATTHEW CHAPTER 12 IS NOT
TALKING ABOUT THREE DAYS AND
00:41:08.30\00:41:11.90
NIGHTS IN THE TOMB, IT'S TALKING
ABOUT FROM THE BEGINNING OF HIS
00:41:11.90\00:41:14.66
SUFFERING
THURSDAY NIGHT AND THAT'S -
00:41:14.66\00:41:17.73
ANYWAY, THAT'S
A DIFFERENT STUDY.
00:41:17.73\00:41:19.66
BUT THE SABBATH WAS SO IMPORTANT
TO JESUS THE DISCIPLES WOULD NOT
00:41:19.66\00:41:23.93
EVEN FINISH THEIR LABOR OF LOVE
EMBALMING HIM FOR FEAR OF DOING
00:41:23.93\00:41:30.80
SOMETHING THEY KNOW WOULD
NOT PLEASE JESUS BECAUSE BY THE
00:41:30.80\00:41:34.33
EXAMPLE OF JESUS, THEY SAW HE
WAS VERY CAREFUL TO OBSERVE THE
00:41:34.33\00:41:38.60
SABBATH. CHRIST,
ON THE SABBATH DAY,
00:41:38.60\00:41:41.00
MIGHT HEAL PEOPLE.
HE WAS A CARPENTER.
00:41:41.00\00:41:43.46
DO YOU EVER FIND JESUS MAKING
A CHAIR OR BUILDING A HOUSE OR
00:41:43.46\00:41:47.76
DOING CARPENTER-LIKE
THINGS ON THE SABBATH DAY? NO.
00:41:47.76\00:41:51.33
DOES HE EVER TELL PETER,
JAMES, AND JOHN, 'IT'S SABBATH.
00:41:51.33\00:41:55.36
I DON'T WANT TO EAT THE
GRAIN OUT OF THE FIELDS.
00:41:55.36\00:41:57.43
LET'S GO FISHING.' NO,
THEY DON'T DO THAT, DO THEY?
00:41:57.43\00:42:03.40
YOU'D BE SURPRISED.
00:42:03.40\00:42:04.56
THERE ARE PROBABLY SOME
PROFESSED SABBATH KEEPERS OUT
00:42:04.56\00:42:06.33
THERE WHO FIND EXCUSES TO GO
FISHING BEING AT ONE WITH GOD
00:42:06.33\00:42:10.80
AND NATURE ON THE SABBATH DAY.'
BUT JESUS DIDN'T DO THAT AND SO
00:42:10.80\00:42:16.23
THE DISCIPLES - THE OTHER
THING TO THINK ABOUT: JESUS
00:42:16.23\00:42:21.13
COMPLETED HIS WORK OF
SAVING MAN ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
00:42:21.13\00:42:27.40
HE SAID, 'IT IS FINISHED.' AS
GOD FINISHED CREATING MAN ON THE
00:42:27.40\00:42:31.93
SIXTH DAY OF THE WEEK
JESUS SAID, 'IT IS FINISHED.' HE
00:42:31.93\00:42:35.10
RESTED IN THE TOMB
ALL THROUGH THE SABBATH.
00:42:35.10\00:42:38.56
JESUS REFERRED
TO DEATH AS A SLEEP.
00:42:38.56\00:42:41.03
HE RESTED IN THE
TOMB THROUGH THE SABBATH.
00:42:41.03\00:42:43.40
HE ROSE SUNDAY MORNING NOT TO
INAUGURATE IT AS A NEW SABBATH,
00:42:43.40\00:42:47.03
BUT TO BEGIN HIS WORK FOR US AS
OUR HIGH PRIEST ASCENDING TO THE
00:42:47.03\00:42:51.96
PRESENCE OF THE FATHER.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENED
00:42:51.96\00:42:56.10
WITH THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS WITH
HIS DEATH AND HIS RESURRECTION
00:42:56.10\00:43:00.43
FORTIFIES THE
TRUTH OF THE SABBATH.
00:43:00.43\00:43:02.80
IT DOES NOT
ESTABLISH A DIFFERENT SABBATH.
00:43:02.80\00:43:05.06
AND SO, YES HE DID APPEAR TO THE
DISCIPLES IN THE UPPER ROOM ON
00:43:05.06\00:43:10.76
THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK AND
HE APPEARED MANY OTHER TIMES.
00:43:10.76\00:43:14.63
HE APPEARED TO
JAMES. HE APPEARED TO PETER.
00:43:14.63\00:43:18.03
HE APPEARED TO TWO
ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS.
00:43:18.03\00:43:20.00
HE APPEARED TO FIVE HUNDRED,
PAUL SAYS, AT ANOTHER TIME.
00:43:20.00\00:43:22.46
HE APPEARED ALL DIFFERENT
TIMES. HE APPEARED BY THE SEA -
00:43:22.46\00:43:25.10
REMEMBER WHEN THEY
WENT FISHING IN JOHN 21?
00:43:25.10\00:43:28.40
SO THE IDEA, BECAUSE HE APPEARED
ON CERTAIN DAYS, IT BECAME A NEW
00:43:28.40\00:43:31.10
SABBATH - YOU CAN'T SUPPORT
THAT FROM THE BIBLE BECAUSE HE
00:43:31.10\00:43:33.33
APPEARED MULTIPLE TIMES
ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT DAYS.
00:43:33.33\00:43:36.86
ALRIGHT, SO THE EXAMPLE OF
JESUS WAS THAT HE HAD A HIGH
00:43:36.86\00:43:40.50
REGARD FOR THE
SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH.
00:43:40.50\00:43:42.90
ALRIGHT, 'MIRACLES OF JESUS'
- MIRACLES ON THE SABBATH.
00:43:42.90\00:43:45.93
SOMEONE - LET ME SEE HERE - YOU
KNOW WHAT, I DIDN'T GIVE OUT A
00:43:45.93\00:43:50.10
SCRIPTURE FOR
THIS SECTION, SORRY.
00:43:50.10\00:43:52.13
TELL YOU WHAT,
WE'LL JUST WING IT.
00:43:52.13\00:43:53.60
DOES SOMEONE WANT TO LOOK
UP FOR ME MARK 32, VERSE 34?
00:43:53.60\00:43:58.43
YOU GUYS WANT TO
FIGHT IT OUT? MIKE?
00:43:58.43\00:44:02.16
ALRIGHT, WE'LL GET YOU
A MICROPHONE RIGHT HERE.
00:44:02.16\00:44:03.96
WHERE'S THE MIC?
THEY'RE PASSING IT - LOOK OVER
00:44:03.96\00:44:06.06
YOUR SHOULDER. I
WANT MARK 1:32 THROUGH 34.
00:44:06.06\00:44:12.73
WE'LL GET READY FOR
YOU IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:44:12.73\00:44:15.36
I'M GOING TO READ MATTHEW 9:35,
"THEN JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL THE
00:44:15.36\00:44:20.53
CITIES AND VILLAGES, TEACHING
IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES," - NOW WHAT
00:44:20.53\00:44:24.16
DAY OF THE WEEK DID HE
TEACH IN THE SYNAGOGUE?
00:44:24.16\00:44:26.83
DID WE JUST READ THAT?
EVERY SABBATH HE WENT TO THE
00:44:26.83\00:44:29.53
SYNAGOGUE. THEY DIDN'T GO
TO THE SYNAGOGUE EVERY DAY.
00:44:29.53\00:44:32.06
THEY HAD WORK TO DO.
SIX DAYS THOU SHALT WORK.
00:44:32.06\00:44:35.36
"THEN JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL THE
CITIES AND VILLAGES, TEACHING IN
00:44:35.36\00:44:38.46
THEIR SYNAGOGUES, PREACHING THE
GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM," - BY THE
00:44:38.46\00:44:42.20
WAY, PAUL AND THE EARLY APOSTLES
- WHAT WAS THEIR CUSTOM AS THEY
00:44:42.20\00:44:47.60
WENT OUT PREACHING AND TEACHING?
PAUL, WHENEVER HE WENT TO A NEW
00:44:47.60\00:44:50.36
TOWN HE MET WITH THE
JEWS FIRST IN THE SYNAGOGUES.
00:44:50.36\00:44:53.63
AS HE WENT THROUGH ASIA THERE
WERE JEWISH SETTLEMENTS ALL
00:44:53.63\00:44:55.63
THROUGH THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUES.
00:44:55.63\00:44:58.16
HE PREACHED TO THEM FIRST
AND THEN, IF THE JEWS BELIEVED,
00:44:58.16\00:45:01.10
GREAT. SOME OF
THEM DIDN'T BELIEVE THEN
00:45:01.10\00:45:02.86
HE'D PREACH TO THE GENTILES ON
THE SABBATH IN THE SYNAGOGUES.
00:45:02.86\00:45:06.53
AND SO, THEY WERE FOLLOWING
THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS, GOING FROM
00:45:06.53\00:45:09.76
TOWN TO TOWN, VISITING THE
SYNAGOGUES, CITIES AND COUNTRY -
00:45:09.76\00:45:13.93
WE NEED A COUNTRY WORK
AND A CITY WORK - NOTICE THAT.
00:45:13.93\00:45:16.70
HE WENT TO CITIES AND
VILLAGES, ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:45:16.70\00:45:19.96
COUNTRIES AND CITIES - "TEACHING
IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES, PREACHING"
00:45:19.96\00:45:23.56
- IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
TEACHING AND PREACHING? YEAH.
00:45:23.56\00:45:27.23
TEACHING IS A
LITTLE MORE INTERACTIVE.
00:45:27.23\00:45:29.20
PREACHING IS YOU'RE JUST KIND
OF PROCLAIMING AND ONE SIDE IS
00:45:29.20\00:45:31.76
SPEAKING AND ONE SIDE'S
LISTENING - "HEALING EVERY
00:45:31.76\00:45:35.66
SICKNESS AND EVERY
DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE."
00:45:35.66\00:45:38.43
SOME OF THAT HEALING
TOOK PLACE ON THE SABBATH DAY.
00:45:38.43\00:45:41.86
NOW THEY WERE TAUGHT - THE
JEWISH PEOPLE HAD BEEN TAUGHT BY
00:45:41.86\00:45:46.43
THE RABBIS, 'DO NOT GO TO THE
PHYSICIAN ON SABBATH BECAUSE HE
00:45:46.43\00:45:49.76
SHOULDN'T HAVE TO
WORK THEN.' THAT'S WORK.
00:45:49.76\00:45:52.43
AND I WILL SAY, IF A PERSON IS
REALLY AILING, SHOULD YOU GO TO
00:45:52.43\00:46:00.86
THE DOCTOR OR THE EMERGENCY
ROOM ON THE SABBATH DAY?
00:46:00.86\00:46:03.83
OF COURSE YOU SHOULD. ARE THERE
CERTAIN MEDICAL TREATMENTS THAT
00:46:03.83\00:46:08.10
YOU MIGHT RECEIVE THAT ARE
ELECTIVE AND YOU CAN SCHEDULE
00:46:08.10\00:46:10.83
THEM? SHOULD YOU
SCHEDULE THEM ON SABBATH? NO.
00:46:10.83\00:46:16.03
AND SO, IF IT'S NOT AN EMERGENCY
OR CAUSING GREAT DISCOMFORT,
00:46:16.03\00:46:19.80
DON'T DO IT ON SABBATH,
DO IT ANOTHER DAY, RIGHT?
00:46:19.80\00:46:23.46
BECAUSE NOT ONLY WILL YOU
BE DISTRACTED FROM YOUR REGULAR
00:46:23.46\00:46:25.80
WORSHIP ON THAT DAY, BUT
THE OTHERS THAT ARE SERVING YOU
00:46:25.80\00:46:29.70
DON'T HAVE THAT BENEFIT AS WELL,
WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE SABBATH
00:46:29.70\00:46:32.83
KEEPERS, BY YOUR EXAMPLE AND
WORD YOU SHOULDN'T, YOU KNOW,
00:46:32.83\00:46:35.40
FORCE IT. SO THEY
BELIEVED THAT THEY
00:46:35.40\00:46:38.60
SHOULD WAIT UNTIL THE
SABBATH WAS OVER TO BE HEALED.
00:46:38.60\00:46:40.76
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GOING
TO READ YOUR NEXT VERSE.
00:46:40.76\00:46:43.06
MIKE, GO AHEAD. MARK 1:32.
00:46:43.06\00:46:46.56
>>MARK 1, VERSES 32 THROUGH 34,
"AT EVENING, WHEN THE SUN HAD
00:46:46.56\00:46:50.60
SET, THEY BROUGHT TO HIM ALL
WHO WERE SICK AND THOSE WHO WERE
00:46:50.60\00:46:54.70
DEMON-POSSESSED. AND
THE WHOLE CITY WAS GATHERED
00:46:54.70\00:46:57.76
TOGETHER AT THE DOOR.
THEN HE HEALED MANY WHO WERE
00:46:57.76\00:47:01.56
SICK WITH VARIOUS DISEASES, AND
CAST OUT MANY DEMONS; AND HE DID
00:47:01.56\00:47:05.83
NOT ALLOW THE DEMONS TO
SPEAK, BECAUSE THEY KNEW HIM."
00:47:05.83\00:47:09.46
>>ALRIGHT, YOU NOTICE HERE - IT
SAYS, 'AT EVEN WHEN THE SUN DID
00:47:09.46\00:47:13.43
SET.' SO WHAT DID THEY DO?
THEY WAITED UNTIL THE SUN WENT
00:47:13.43\00:47:17.36
DOWN AND THEN HE
BEGAN TO HEAL THEM.
00:47:17.36\00:47:22.06
THEY WERE AFRAID TO COME BEFORE
THAT. SO 'AT EVEN WHEN THE SUN
00:47:22.06\00:47:25.80
SET' THEY HAD BEEN
PROGRAMMED THAT WAY.
00:47:25.80\00:47:28.13
THEN IF YOU LOOK IN LUKE
4, VERSE 40, "WHEN THE SUN WAS
00:47:28.13\00:47:32.66
SETTING, ALL THOSE WHO HAD ANY
THAT WERE SICK WITH VARIOUS" -
00:47:32.66\00:47:36.36
AND THIS IS, AGAIN, FOLLOWING
THE SABBATH - "WHEN THE SUN WAS
00:47:36.36\00:47:38.76
SETTING, ALL THOSE WHO HAD
ANY THAT WERE SICK WITH VARIOUS
00:47:38.76\00:47:41.33
DISEASES BROUGHT THEM TO
HIM; AND HE LAID HIS HANDS ON
00:47:41.33\00:47:44.16
EVERYONE OF THEM
AND HEALED THEM."
00:47:44.16\00:47:45.43
SO JESUS RESPECTED THIS AND
IN MOST CASES HE DID NOT HEAL ON
00:47:45.43\00:47:49.06
SABBATH, WHY?
BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS WRONG OR
00:47:49.06\00:47:52.93
BECAUSE HE WAS
TRYING NOT TO CAUSE A STIR?
00:47:52.93\00:47:55.70
HE KNEW THAT IT WOULD
JUST TROUBLE HIS WORK.
00:47:55.70\00:47:58.33
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER WHEN
HE HEALED THE MAN AT THE POOL OF
00:47:58.33\00:48:00.80
BETHESDA? WHAT DAY
OF THE WEEK WAS THAT?
00:48:00.80\00:48:03.06
IT WAS SABBATH - AND HE WANTED
HIM TO JUST KIND OF 'TAKE YOUR
00:48:03.06\00:48:06.46
HEALING AND GO QUIETLY' BUT
SOMEBODY SAW HIM CARRYING HIS
00:48:06.46\00:48:09.13
MAT - IT SAYS, 'CARRYING HIS
BED' - THEIR BEDS WERE LIKE A
00:48:09.13\00:48:12.26
ROLLED UP MAT IS ALL IT WAS -
AND HE WAS CARRYING HIS MAT AND
00:48:12.26\00:48:15.66
THEY SAID, 'OH, YOU'RE DOING
WHAT IS UNLAWFUL ON THE SABBATH
00:48:15.66\00:48:17.90
DAY.' WELL, JESUS SAID YOU
SHOULDN'T CONDEMN THE GUILTLESS.
00:48:17.90\00:48:21.63
THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG -
THE MAN HAD JUST BEEN HEALED -
00:48:21.63\00:48:23.40
HE HADN'T WALKED IN 38 YEARS
AND SO IF HE'S CARRYING HIS MAT
00:48:23.40\00:48:26.96
HOME, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE
THAT THEY HAD MISAPPLIED THESE
00:48:26.96\00:48:31.83
TEACHINGS ON THE SABBATH.
AND YOU LOOK IN JOHN 5, VERSE
00:48:31.83\00:48:35.10
16, "FOR THIS REASON THE JEWS
PERSECUTED JESUS, AND SOUGHT TO
00:48:35.10\00:48:40.83
KILL HIM, BECAUSE HE HAD DONE
THESE THINGS ON THE SABBATH.
00:48:40.83\00:48:44.96
BUT JESUS ANSWERED THEM,
'MY FATHER HAS BEEN WORKING
00:48:44.96\00:48:48.26
UNTIL NOW, AND I
HAVE BEEN WORKING."
00:48:48.26\00:48:50.73
NOW THE PROCESS OF HEALING,
99.99% OF THE HEALING THAT
00:48:50.73\00:48:57.10
HAPPENS HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH DOCTORS.
00:48:57.10\00:49:01.70
IT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH MIRACLES.
00:49:01.70\00:49:04.73
YOU ARE BEING
HEALED ALL THE TIME.
00:49:04.73\00:49:06.86
EVERY TIME YOU SKIN YOUR KNEE
OR YOU CUT YOURSELF OR YOU BUMP
00:49:06.86\00:49:10.03
YOURSELF OR YOU'VE GOT SOME
KIND OF AILMENT, YOUR BODY IS
00:49:10.03\00:49:12.60
FIGHTING TO HEAL ALL THE TIME.
EVEN ON SABBATH IS YOUR BODY
00:49:12.60\00:49:18.76
EXPERIENCING
THE HEALING PROCESS?
00:49:18.76\00:49:21.96
AND SO, WHEN JESUS SAYS, 'MY
FATHER IS WORKING.' JESUS SAID,
00:49:21.96\00:49:25.13
'GOD IS HEALING PEOPLE, FEEDING
PEOPLE, LISTENING TO PRAYERS.
00:49:25.13\00:49:28.53
HE IS WORKING ALL THE TIME.'
HE SAYS, 'I AM COMING TO DO THE
00:49:28.53\00:49:32.13
WORK OF GOD IN HEALING AND SO,
IF I HEAL A PERSON RADICALLY OR
00:49:32.13\00:49:37.23
QUICKLY OR RAPIDLY ON THE
SABBATH DAY AND MY FATHER HEALS
00:49:37.23\00:49:41.63
THEM SLOWLY THROUGH THE - IT'S
EVEN JESUS - THROUGH THE NORMAL
00:49:41.63\00:49:45.73
HEALING PROCESS,
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
00:49:45.73\00:49:49.30
I'M JUST ACCELERATING
THE MIRACLE OF HEALING ON THE
00:49:49.30\00:49:51.40
SABBATH DAY.' SO THAT'S WHAT
HE'S SAYING, 'MY FATHER'S BEEN
00:49:51.40\00:49:53.66
WORKING UNTIL NOW AND I HAVE
BEEN WORKING.' GOD IS ALWAYS
00:49:53.66\00:49:56.43
SUPPLYING YOUR NEEDS. AND
THEN - LET ME GIVE YOU ONE MORE.
00:49:56.43\00:50:01.50
LUKE 13:15, AGAIN TALKING
ABOUT A HEALING, "THE LORD THEN
00:50:01.50\00:50:05.90
ANSWERED HIM AND SAID," - THERE
WAS A WOMAN WHO WAS BENT OVER
00:50:05.90\00:50:08.66
18 YEARS - SHE HAD NOT BEEN
ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN UP AND JESUS
00:50:08.66\00:50:14.33
WAS ABOUT TO HEAL HER - AND IT'S
IN THE SYNAGOGUE - AND IT WAS
00:50:14.33\00:50:17.03
SUCH A PITIFUL CASE AND HE
THOUGHT, 'YOU KNOW, I CAN'T BEAR
00:50:17.03\00:50:20.90
TO MAKE THIS LADY WAIT
UNTIL SUNDOWN TO HEAL HER,
00:50:20.90\00:50:22.86
I'M HERE NOW. AND
HE SAID, "'HYPOCRITE!
00:50:22.86\00:50:26.50
DOES NOT EACH ONE OF YOU ON THE
SABBATH LOOSE HIS OX OR DONKEY
00:50:26.50\00:50:30.10
FROM THE STALL, AND LEAD IT AWAY
TO WATER IT?'" NOT ALL OF THE
00:50:30.10\00:50:32.90
FARMERS BACK THEN HAD
RUNNING WATER IN THEIR BARNS.
00:50:32.90\00:50:35.43
IF THEY WANTED TO WATER THEIR
ANIMALS THEY HAD TO HAUL THE
00:50:35.43\00:50:37.36
WATER TO THE ANIMAL OR HAUL
THE ANIMAL TO THE WATER, RIGHT?
00:50:37.36\00:50:41.43
YOU KNOW, YOU'VE HEARD IT SAID
YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER -
00:50:41.43\00:50:43.70
THEY USED TO LEAD THE HORSE TO
WHERE THE WATER WAS - LET HIM -
00:50:43.70\00:50:46.13
ISN'T IT EASIER RATHER THAN
CARRYING BUCKET AFTER BUCKET OF
00:50:46.13\00:50:49.50
WATER TO A HORSE, JUST
LEAD THE HORSE TO THE WATER?
00:50:49.50\00:50:52.36
SO THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
00:50:52.36\00:50:54.10
THEIR DONKEY, THEIR HORSE, THEIR
OX - BY THE WAY, ALL UNCLEAN
00:50:54.10\00:50:56.63
ANIMALS THAT ARE MENTIONED - OR
THE OX ISN'T UNCLEAN, SORRY - SO
00:50:56.63\00:51:00.53
IT WAS THE CLEAN AND THE UNCLEAN
IS WHAT I MEANT TO SAY - AND HE
00:51:00.53\00:51:04.80
SAID, 'IF YOU WOULD DO THAT
WHAT'S WRONG WITH TAKING CARE OF
00:51:04.80\00:51:08.66
THE PRACTICAL NEEDS OF A
HUMAN ON THE SABBATH DAY?
00:51:08.66\00:51:11.40
YOU'LL DO IT FOR AN ANIMAL, HOW
MUCH MORE IMPORTANT IS A HUMAN?
00:51:11.40\00:51:15.16
ALRIGHT, 'THE SABBATH AFTER THE
RESURRECTION.' SOMEONE LOOK UP
00:51:15.16\00:51:18.16
FOR ME ACTS 13:42,
WHO HAS THAT VERSE?
00:51:18.16\00:51:22.96
WE GAVE THAT SLIP TO
SOMEBODY - RIGHT HERE.
00:51:22.96\00:51:25.13
LET'S GET YOU A MICROPHONE.
HOLD YOUR HAND UP SO -
00:51:25.13\00:51:26.73
WHERE'S THE MIC?
PASS IT BACK. OKAY?
00:51:26.73\00:51:31.43
ALRIGHT, 'THE SABBATH AFTER
THE RESURRECTION.' SO EVEN AFTER
00:51:31.43\00:51:35.00
JESUS HAS ASCENDED TO HEAVEN,
WHAT IS THE PRACTICE OF THOSE
00:51:35.00\00:51:37.66
WHO LISTENED TO
THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS?
00:51:37.66\00:51:39.90
OUR LESSON IS ON
THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS.
00:51:39.90\00:51:42.20
NOW WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT WHAT
HIS IMMEDIATE DISCIPLES BELIEVED
00:51:42.20\00:51:45.73
ABOUT THE SABBATH
THEY'D BEEN TAUGHT BY JESUS.
00:51:45.73\00:51:48.56
ACTS 13:14, "BUT WHEN THEY
DEPARTED FROM PERGA, THEY CAME
00:51:48.56\00:51:52.80
TO ANTIOCH IN PISIDIA, AND
WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE
00:51:52.80\00:51:56.26
SABBATH DAY AND SAT DOWN." -
SO NOW THEY'RE UP IN ASIA AND
00:51:56.26\00:51:59.36
THEY'RE GOING THERE
DOING THE SAME THING JESUS DID.
00:51:59.36\00:52:05.10
ACTS 16, VERSE 13, "AND ON THE
SABBATH DAY WE WENT OUT OF THE
00:52:05.10\00:52:08.80
CITY TO THE RIVERSIDE, WHERE
PRAYER WAS CUSTOMARILY MADE; AND
00:52:08.80\00:52:13.36
WE SAT DOWN AND SPOKE TO
THE WOMEN WHO MET THERE."
00:52:13.36\00:52:16.53
SO EVEN ON THE SABBATH DAY, PAUL
- HE'S NOT MAKING TENTS - PAUL
00:52:16.53\00:52:20.86
IS GOING AND HE'S GATHERING
TOGETHER WITH THE PEOPLE, BY THE
00:52:20.86\00:52:24.73
WAY, THE GENTILES WORKED ON
THE SABBATH DAY, THROUGHOUT THE
00:52:24.73\00:52:28.93
GRECIAN/ROMAN EMPIRE. I
SAY GRECIAN BECAUSE THEY HAD A
00:52:28.93\00:52:32.33
LOT - THEY SPOKE GREEK
- IT'S THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:52:32.33\00:52:34.43
BUT PAUL, HE'S NOT
MAKING TENTS ON THAT DAY.
00:52:34.43\00:52:37.50
HE GOES FOR A PLACE - SABBATH'S
A GOOD TIME TO DO BIBLE STUDIES
00:52:37.50\00:52:41.53
AND HE FINDS A PLACE - THE WOMEN
ALL RESORTED DOWN BY THE RIVER -
00:52:41.53\00:52:45.20
MAYBE SOME OF THEM WERE WASHING
CLOTHES AND HE AND, I THINK IT
00:52:45.20\00:52:49.96
WAS SILAS IN THIS CASE, THEY'RE
PREACHING TO THE WOMEN THAT ARE
00:52:49.96\00:52:52.16
THERE. ALRIGHT, GO
AHEAD, READ FOR US -
00:52:52.16\00:52:54.03
WHO HAS - OH,
YOU'VE GOT IT - ACTS 13:42.
00:52:54.03\00:52:59.33
>>"SO WHEN THE JEWS WENT OUT
OF THE SYNAGOGUE, THE GENTILES
00:52:59.33\00:53:04.43
BEGGED THAT THESE WORDS
MIGHT BE PREACHED TO THEM
00:53:04.43\00:53:09.13
THE NEXT SABBATH."
>>THANK YOU. NOTICE, IT'S NOT
00:53:09.13\00:53:12.86
JUST THE JEWS, THE
GENTILES SAID, 'NEXT' - WHEN?
00:53:12.86\00:53:17.23
HOW COME THEY DIDN'T SAY,
'NEXT SUNDAY PREACH TO US?'
00:53:17.23\00:53:20.16
WOULDN'T THAT - WHY DIDN'T PAUL
SAY, 'WELL, YOU'RE GENTILES.
00:53:20.16\00:53:23.06
THE JEWS GO SABBATH BUT I'M
GOING TO PREACH TO YOU TOMORROW,
00:53:23.06\00:53:26.26
SUNDAY.' NO, HE ACCEPTED -
THIS IS THE DAY OF WORSHIP.
00:53:26.26\00:53:30.63
THIS IDEA THAT SUNDAY IS
THE SABBATH DAY REALLY CAN'T
00:53:30.63\00:53:32.83
BE SUPPORTED BY
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:53:32.83\00:53:34.73
AND SO, EVEN AFTER THE
RESURRECTION - OH, AND FOR ME, A
00:53:34.73\00:53:39.00
REAL SLAM-DUNK SCRIPTURE IS
WHERE JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT HIS
00:53:39.00\00:53:42.66
SECOND COMING AND THE TIME OF
TROUBLE THAT'S GOING TO COME ON
00:53:42.66\00:53:45.20
THE WORLD - MATTHEW
24:20 - SPEAKING TO BELIEVERS
00:53:45.20\00:53:48.70
EVERYWHERE, "PRAY THAT YOUR
FLIGHT" - HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT
00:53:48.70\00:53:52.26
ON DELTA OR UNITED AIRLINES,
HE'S TALKING ABOUT FLEEING FOR
00:53:52.26\00:53:55.23
YOUR LIFE - "PRAY THAT YOUR
FLIGHT MAY NOT BE IN THE WINTER
00:53:55.23\00:53:58.86
OR ON THE SABBATH."
00:53:58.86\00:54:00.40
THE DAY MAY COME WHEN YOU
SEE PERSECUTION RISING AND THOSE
00:54:00.40\00:54:04.70
THAT BE IN JUDEA
FLEE INTO THE MOUNTAINS.
00:54:04.70\00:54:07.70
SOME HAVE SAID, 'WELL,
THE REASON JESUS SAID THAT IS
00:54:07.70\00:54:09.76
BECAUSE THEY WOULD CLOSE THE
GATES OF THE CITY ON THE SABBATH
00:54:09.76\00:54:12.40
DAY AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO
GET LOCKED INTO THE CITY.' NO,
00:54:12.40\00:54:16.00
THAT'S NOT TRUE. IN
THE DAYS OF NEHEMIAH THEY
00:54:16.00\00:54:18.70
CLOSED THE GATES OF THE
CITY ON THE SABBATH DAY.
00:54:18.70\00:54:20.66
BY THE TIME OF CHRIST, WHEN THE
ROMANS OCCUPIED THEM, THEY DID
00:54:20.66\00:54:23.00
NOT CLOSE THE GATES OF
THE CITY ON THE SABBATH DAY.
00:54:23.00\00:54:25.66
SO IF YOU HEAR THAT, THAT IS
TOTALLY WRONG - IT'S NOT TRUE.
00:54:25.66\00:54:29.46
AND SO JESUS IS LOOKING DOWN IN
TIME ASSUMING THAT HIS FOLLOWERS
00:54:29.46\00:54:34.76
WOULD STILL BE SABBATH KEEPERS.
YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO
00:54:34.76\00:54:38.40
FLEE IN THE WINTER WHEN THERE'S
NO FOOD AVAILABLE IN THE FIELDS.
00:54:38.40\00:54:42.63
YOU CAN'T LIVE OFF THE LAND VERY
WELL - IT'S COLD AND YOU DON'T
00:54:42.63\00:54:45.43
WANT TO FLEE ON
THE SABBATH DAY WHEN,
00:54:45.43\00:54:47.03
OBVIOUSLY, IT'S NOT
IN KEEPING WITH REST.
00:54:47.03\00:54:51.10
AND WE SHOULD BE PRAYING
NOW ABOUT THAT, JESUS SAID.
00:54:51.10\00:54:53.76
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID, 'PRAY THAT
YOUR FLIGHT IS NOT IN THE WINTER
00:54:53.76\00:54:57.36
OR ON THE SABBATH.' SO THE
TEACHINGS OF JESUS REGARDING THE
00:54:57.36\00:55:00.33
FUTURE - DID HE ANTICIPATE
HIS PEOPLE WOULD BE KEEPING THE
00:55:00.33\00:55:03.46
SABBATH? AND EVEN
IN REVELATION - THE
00:55:03.46\00:55:07.50
VISION OF JOHN - 'I WAS IN THE
SPIRIT ON THE LORD'S DAY.' SOME
00:55:07.50\00:55:11.40
HAVE SAID, 'OH, THAT'S SUNDAY.
THAT'S THE LORD'S DAY.' REALLY?
00:55:11.40\00:55:16.83
SOMEONE LOOK UP FOR ME EXODUS
20, VERSE 10 - WHO HAS THAT?
00:55:16.83\00:55:21.43
DID I GIVE THAT TO
ANYBODY? I'M MISSING - OH!
00:55:21.43\00:55:25.93
OVER HERE - LET'S GET A
MICROPHONE TO JENNIFER AND I'LL
00:55:25.93\00:55:29.86
READ ISAIAH 58:13, "IF YOU TURN
AWAY YOUR FOOT FROM THE SABBATH,
00:55:29.86\00:55:35.20
FROM DOING YOUR
PLEASURE ON MY HOLY DAY," -
00:55:35.20\00:55:38.16
WHAT IS THE LORD'S DAY?
00:55:38.16\00:55:40.36
HE CALLS THE SABBATH
'MY HOLY DAY.' RIGHT?
00:55:40.36\00:55:46.23
AND YOU CAN SEE MANY PLACES IN
THE BIBLE WHERE IT REFERS TO THE
00:55:46.23\00:55:49.56
SABBATH AS A DAY - DID
MAN THINK UP THE SABBATH?
00:55:49.56\00:55:53.33
OR DID THE LORD PICK IT?
DIDN'T JESUS SAY THE SON OF MAN
00:55:53.33\00:55:57.33
IS LORD OF THE SABBATH?
SO WHAT IS THE LORD'S DAY?
00:55:57.33\00:56:01.43
ALRIGHT GO AHEAD,
JENNIFER, READ THAT FOR US.'
00:56:01.43\00:56:03.66
>>"BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE
SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD."
00:56:03.66\00:56:07.20
>>SO WHEN JOHN SAYS, 'I WAS IN
THE SPIRIT ON THE LORD'S DAY.' -
00:56:07.20\00:56:10.40
I'VE HEARD SOME VERY INTERESTING
ARGUMENTS THAT THAT WAS SUNDAY,
00:56:10.40\00:56:12.90
BUT EVERYTHING I FIND IN THE
BIBLE ABOUT THE LORD'S DAY - HE
00:56:12.90\00:56:16.96
CALLS - IF THERE IS A PARTICULAR
DAY OF THE WEEK THAT IS HIS DAY,
00:56:16.96\00:56:20.53
