00:00:48.78\00:01:20.78
Shelley: Our lesson
today is "The law is Teacher"
00:01:20.81\00:01:24.25
and it's all about
learning about God's love...
00:01:24.28\00:01:27.68
His redemptive
love for humanity.
00:01:27.72\00:01:29.88
True education points
people to Jesus Christ...
00:01:29.92\00:01:34.69
a life of
grace... a life of faith
00:01:34.72\00:01:37.93
and a life of obedience.
00:01:37.96\00:01:39.46
Well, let me introduce
our wonderful Panel today,
00:01:39.49\00:01:42.63
we've got someone brand-new here
00:01:42.66\00:01:44.53
and I'm just so excited to
have our Brother Terry Shelton
00:01:44.57\00:01:47.67
joining us... Terry.
00:01:47.70\00:01:49.04
Terry: Thank you very much.
00:01:49.07\00:01:50.41
Shelley: Thank
you, Terry is an IT guy,
00:01:50.44\00:01:52.31
he was a Lay Pastor for years
00:01:52.34\00:01:54.21
and now you are an Elder at the
Thompsonville Adventist Church.
00:01:54.24\00:01:56.68
Terry: That's right, thank you
for the invitation to be here
00:01:56.71\00:01:59.11
and be a part of this.
00:01:59.15\00:02:00.48
Shelley: Oh, we're
excited, and then we have
00:02:00.52\00:02:02.15
Brother Danny Shelton
who is the Founder of 3ABN.
00:02:02.18\00:02:06.96
Danny: And more
importantly, Terry's uncle.
00:02:06.99\00:02:09.29
Shelley: And more
importantly, Terry's uncle,
00:02:09.32\00:02:11.56
thank you for
being here today, Danny.
00:02:11.59\00:02:13.56
Danny: Oh, it's a privilege.
00:02:13.60\00:02:14.93
Shelley: Pastor Ryan
Day, we can't wait to see
00:02:14.96\00:02:17.53
what the Lord has given you.
00:02:17.80\00:02:19.40
Ryan: Me too, I'm
excited about this lesson...
00:02:19.43\00:02:21.60
so, it's going to be good.
00:02:21.64\00:02:23.10
Shelley: Amen, amen, I'm
looking forward to Jill Morikone
00:02:23.14\00:02:25.77
who is our COO...
00:02:25.81\00:02:27.78
we're looking
forward to your list Jill.
00:02:27.81\00:02:29.84
Jill: I think
there's a list in there.
00:02:29.88\00:02:31.85
Shelley: I'm
sure there is, okay.
00:02:31.88\00:02:33.48
Well, we begin
today... our Memory Verse
00:02:33.52\00:02:37.49
is Deuteronomy 6:5,
00:02:37.52\00:02:39.49
"You shall love
the Lord your God
00:02:39.55\00:02:41.42
with all of your heart,
with all of your soul...
00:02:41.46\00:02:44.56
with all of your strength. "
00:02:44.59\00:02:47.43
I'm going to stick
closely to my notes
00:02:47.50\00:02:50.60
so that I don't
jump out here and preach
00:02:50.63\00:02:53.67
because the law of God has
become my favorite topic...
00:02:53.70\00:02:59.24
the covenant of God is
one of my favorite topics
00:02:59.27\00:03:01.98
to teach on
00:03:02.01\00:03:03.35
and this is kind of
a distilled Cliff Notes
00:03:03.38\00:03:06.41
so that you will
understand where we're going.
00:03:06.45\00:03:09.52
The Bible narrative is
all about a covenant-making...
00:03:09.55\00:03:13.96
covenant-keeping God
00:03:13.99\00:03:15.66
and what we see
from the Old Testament
00:03:15.69\00:03:18.43
through the New is a
progressive revelation
00:03:18.46\00:03:21.96
of God's covenant of grace.
00:03:22.00\00:03:24.30
It's introduced in Genesis 3:15
to the fallen couple when He...
00:03:24.33\00:03:29.67
He talks about
the Seed that's coming
00:03:29.70\00:03:32.34
that's going to
crush the head of the enemy
00:03:32.37\00:03:35.14
but Abraham was saved... how?
00:03:35.18\00:03:38.45
By grace... he
was justified by grace
00:03:38.48\00:03:41.55
through faith.
00:03:41.58\00:03:42.92
Now, when we look
at the New Testament...
00:03:42.95\00:03:46.02
what people have to understand
is it is an outworking
00:03:46.05\00:03:50.63
of the Old Testament.
00:03:50.66\00:03:52.29
In other words, it's the
Old Testament prophecies...
00:03:52.33\00:03:55.70
all these covenant prophecies
00:03:55.73\00:03:57.43
are fulfilled in
the New Testament.
00:03:57.47\00:03:59.47
When you think about
the everlasting gospel
00:03:59.50\00:04:04.17
of the three angels'
message, Revelation 14:6,
00:04:04.21\00:04:07.48
what is the everlasting gospel?
00:04:07.51\00:04:09.68
He told us about
it in Revelation 13:8,
00:04:09.71\00:04:13.08
"The Lamb who was slain from
the foundation of the earth. "
00:04:13.11\00:04:17.35
Panel: Amen.
00:04:17.39\00:04:18.72
Shelley: It has
always been God's plan
00:04:18.75\00:04:22.09
that God would come
down... become a man
00:04:22.12\00:04:24.13
and be our Savior...
00:04:24.16\00:04:26.06
it just gives me goosebumps.
00:04:26.09\00:04:27.90
The everlasting blood
of the covenant was shed
00:04:27.93\00:04:32.30
on Calvary's
cross for you and for me
00:04:32.33\00:04:35.37
so, as God is
introducing this covenant,
00:04:35.40\00:04:38.44
we have what we call the
Old Covenant which we'll discuss
00:04:38.47\00:04:41.94
in just a moment
00:04:41.98\00:04:43.31
and the Ten
Commandments are at the heart
00:04:43.35\00:04:46.05
of the Old Covenant...
00:04:46.08\00:04:47.58
then, as it is fulfilled
and moves on in progression,
00:04:47.62\00:04:52.42
we have the New Covenant
00:04:52.45\00:04:54.36
and the Ten Commandments
00:04:54.39\00:04:55.72
are at the heart of
the New Covenant as well...
00:04:55.76\00:04:58.26
so, what they...
00:04:58.29\00:05:01.06
the whole thing
of covenant is love.
00:05:01.10\00:05:03.93
Panel: Amen.
00:05:03.97\00:05:05.33
Shelley: It's just about love.
00:05:05.37\00:05:07.30
Now, God introduced...
as I said in Genesis 3:15
00:05:07.34\00:05:12.11
to Abraham... it was
righteousness by faith
00:05:12.14\00:05:15.28
and He then gives at Mount Sinai
00:05:15.31\00:05:18.88
God speaks His
Ten Commandments...
00:05:18.91\00:05:22.45
God writes them on stone...
00:05:22.48\00:05:24.65
has Moses put them... where?
00:05:24.69\00:05:26.86
Where do the Ten Commandments...
00:05:26.89\00:05:28.96
Panel: Inside the Ark.
Shelley: Inside the Ark...
00:05:28.99\00:05:30.76
the Ark is the throne of God...
00:05:30.79\00:05:32.66
the Ten Commandments
are the character of God...
00:05:32.69\00:05:36.67
and this law of Love is what His
Government is established upon.
00:05:36.70\00:05:43.10
It's always been in effect
00:05:43.17\00:05:45.41
angelic beings had it
written in their heart...
00:05:45.44\00:05:49.08
they... the heavenly
intelligences followed this
00:05:49.11\00:05:52.71
from the very beginning
00:05:52.75\00:05:54.12
but now, when He is giving this,
00:05:54.15\00:05:57.85
He has Moses come
back up the mountain
00:05:57.92\00:06:00.86
and then He gives
covenant terms... civil laws...
00:06:00.89\00:06:04.59
there were sacrificial laws
00:06:04.63\00:06:07.70
and here is
what Exodus 24:7 says
00:06:07.73\00:06:11.83
that Moses
writes on parchment...
00:06:11.87\00:06:15.80
these... all these laws
in the Book of the Covenant
00:06:15.84\00:06:21.31
now, that's the Old Covenant...
00:06:21.34\00:06:23.61
all these laws and regulations
that God gave to Moses.
00:06:23.65\00:06:30.75
Moses wrote them out...
00:06:30.79\00:06:32.59
he speaks them to the people...
00:06:32.62\00:06:34.82
people say, "Yes, everything
that God says, we will do... "
00:06:34.86\00:06:37.79
that's the Old Covenant.
00:06:37.83\00:06:39.79
When Moses is standing at
the edge of the Promised Land,
00:06:39.83\00:06:43.93
years later, the people
were getting ready to go in,
00:06:43.97\00:06:48.07
Moses knows... he cannot go in.
00:06:48.10\00:06:50.81
Now, he is repeating the law
00:06:50.84\00:06:53.44
and that's what
the book of Deuteronomy
00:06:53.48\00:06:56.01
is the Book of the Law
00:06:56.04\00:06:58.65
and in Deuteronomy
31:26, God... He says...
00:06:58.68\00:07:04.52
"Take this Book of the Law...
" the book of Deuteronomy...
00:07:04.55\00:07:09.72
"put it beside the ark of the
covenant of the Lord your God,
00:07:09.79\00:07:14.93
it was going to be there
as a witness against you... "
00:07:14.96\00:07:18.67
God tells them...
00:07:18.70\00:07:20.04
because it had
all of the blessings,
00:07:20.07\00:07:21.97
it had the curses...
00:07:22.00\00:07:23.34
but you know what?
00:07:23.37\00:07:24.71
When God came down in
the person of Jesus Christ,
00:07:24.74\00:07:29.64
all of these sacrificial
ritualistic ceremonies...
00:07:29.68\00:07:34.72
all of these civil
laws began changing...
00:07:34.75\00:07:37.29
or they did change
because Christ fulfilled it all.
00:07:37.35\00:07:40.59
Now, here's what happened...
00:07:40.66\00:07:42.22
in Galatia, there
were some Judaizers
00:07:42.26\00:07:46.73
who believed that you had to...
00:07:46.76\00:07:50.90
they came to Galatia
00:07:50.93\00:07:52.30
and they're trying to
teach these Christians
00:07:52.33\00:07:54.87
"You've got to obey all
of this Book of the Law...
00:07:54.90\00:07:59.11
the Mosaic Covenant
00:07:59.14\00:08:00.51
and they were
taking away from the
00:08:00.54\00:08:03.61
"sinful teaching
of Christianity... "
00:08:03.65\00:08:06.61
righteousness by
faith through Christ Jesus.
00:08:06.68\00:08:09.05
They were trying to
make these people obey this
00:08:09.08\00:08:12.85
so, Paul... the
whole book of Galatians
00:08:12.89\00:08:15.79
is about Paul saying to
them, "Hey, wait a minute... "
00:08:15.82\00:08:19.66
he says in Galatians
3, "Foolish Galatians!
00:08:19.69\00:08:23.20
having begun in the Spirit,
00:08:23.23\00:08:25.30
are you now going to
try to perfect this work
00:08:25.33\00:08:29.04
in the flesh?"
00:08:29.07\00:08:30.57
So, what he tells us there
if I can find my notes here,
00:08:30.61\00:08:35.31
in Galatians 3:10, he says,
00:08:35.34\00:08:37.81
"As many as are of
the works of the law,
00:08:37.85\00:08:42.32
whoever is trying to follow
that are under the curse... "
00:08:42.35\00:08:45.49
we know what
curse he's talking about
00:08:45.52\00:08:48.42
because he quotes
Deuteronomy 27:26,
00:08:48.46\00:08:51.43
"Cursed is everyone
00:08:51.46\00:08:54.23
who does not continue in
all things which are written
00:08:54.26\00:08:58.60
in the Book of the Law... "
00:08:58.63\00:09:01.57
this is the one on
the side of the ark
00:09:01.60\00:09:04.44
to show that it was temporary
00:09:04.47\00:09:06.54
but then he says,
"Hey, Christ has redeemed us
00:09:06.57\00:09:09.41
from the curse of the law... "
00:09:09.44\00:09:11.41
and then he says,
"So what... what is it?
00:09:11.45\00:09:14.28
Is the law against
the promises of God?
00:09:14.32\00:09:17.39
Certainly not, for there
had been a law given... "
00:09:17.42\00:09:19.62
this is verse 21, Galatians 3,
00:09:19.65\00:09:22.79
"if there had been a law given
which could have given life,
00:09:22.82\00:09:26.70
truly righteousness
would have been by the law. "
00:09:26.73\00:09:29.60
But you know what?
00:09:29.63\00:09:31.03
The law... grace has always
been the manner of salvation,
00:09:31.07\00:09:35.60
God gave us grace...
He also gave us the law,
00:09:35.64\00:09:38.97
God never contradicts Himself.
00:09:39.01\00:09:41.71
The law is grace...
00:09:41.74\00:09:44.88
He gave them both
the law and the promise
00:09:44.91\00:09:47.38
work harmoniously.
00:09:47.42\00:09:49.28
He says then in Galatians 3:22,
00:09:49.32\00:09:52.52
"But the Scripture has
confined all under sin,
00:09:52.55\00:09:56.26
that the promise by
faith in Jesus Christ
00:09:56.29\00:09:59.26
might be given to
those who believe.
00:09:59.29\00:10:02.00
But before faith came,
00:10:02.03\00:10:04.60
we were kept under
guard by the law...
00:10:04.63\00:10:07.44
What law is he talking about?"
00:10:07.47\00:10:09.34
Obviously, he's already said,
"It's the Book of the Law... "
00:10:09.37\00:10:12.34
the Book of the Law
that we call the Old Covenant
00:10:12.37\00:10:17.21
is what Paul
says was our guard...
00:10:17.25\00:10:22.25
it was... he says, "the
law was... " in verse 24,
00:10:22.28\00:10:27.72
"The law was our tutor
to bring us to Christ... "
00:10:27.76\00:10:33.16
the law... everything about the
Old Testament sanctuary system
00:10:33.19\00:10:39.60
everything
pointed to Jesus Christ...
00:10:39.63\00:10:42.40
all of their festivals
pointed to Jesus Christ,
00:10:42.44\00:10:46.81
Jesus fulfilled it
all so then Paul says,
00:10:46.84\00:10:50.75
"After faith has come...
00:10:50.78\00:10:52.28
once the Messiah came we
no longer need a tutor...
00:10:52.31\00:10:56.15
it has been fulfilled... "
00:10:56.18\00:10:58.22
so, Deuteronomy 31
verses 9 through 13,
00:10:58.25\00:11:03.39
let me read this,
00:11:03.43\00:11:04.89
Moses wrote this
law... this Book of the Law...
00:11:04.93\00:11:08.30
he delivered it to the
priest and verse 11 says,
00:11:08.33\00:11:12.30
"when all Israel comes to
appear before the Lord your God
00:11:12.33\00:11:15.90
in the place which He chooses,
00:11:15.94\00:11:17.27
you shall read this law before
all Israel in their hearing.
00:11:17.31\00:11:21.41
Gather the people together,
the men... the women...
00:11:21.44\00:11:23.98
the little ones...
00:11:24.05\00:11:25.38
the stranger within
your gates... " he says...
00:11:25.41\00:11:27.98
"that they may hear... "
00:11:28.02\00:11:29.75
and oh boy, I'll
tell you in Hebrew,
00:11:29.78\00:11:31.99
"hear" meant to
put it into practice.
00:11:32.02\00:11:34.12
"that they may learn to
fear the Lord your God... "
00:11:34.16\00:11:37.56
to stand in
awe... to respect Him...
00:11:37.59\00:11:40.86
to be motivated
by love to obey Him
00:11:40.90\00:11:44.13
"and carefully observe
all the words of this law,
00:11:44.17\00:11:49.57
that your children,
who have not known it,
00:11:49.60\00:11:52.41
may hear and learn
to fear the Lord... "
00:11:52.44\00:11:55.21
learn to respect Him...
00:11:55.24\00:11:58.21
so, all who hear the law...
00:11:58.25\00:12:01.12
it talks about
God as deliverer...
00:12:01.18\00:12:04.12
God as redeemer,
00:12:04.19\00:12:06.15
God as the one
who's going to sanctify us
00:12:06.19\00:12:09.42
and the knowledge of
His perfect character...
00:12:09.46\00:12:12.63
the knowledge of
His love and His power
00:12:12.69\00:12:16.06
people... when they hear this,
00:12:16.10\00:12:18.43
they're motivated to
walk in obedience to God.
00:12:18.47\00:12:23.24
The Quarterly says
this, God was intentional
00:12:23.27\00:12:27.98
about the ways that He
imparted His law to Israel...
00:12:28.01\00:12:31.25
He made every provision
00:12:31.28\00:12:32.61
so that the laws
would not be forgotten
00:12:32.65\00:12:35.05
and in this way... God
is a longsuffering educator.
00:12:35.08\00:12:39.25
Think about that a moment,
He teaches... He repeats...
00:12:39.29\00:12:43.43
He sent His
prophets and His servants...
00:12:43.46\00:12:46.29
then He sent
His Son to teach us.
00:12:46.33\00:12:49.03
I want to share this,
00:12:49.06\00:12:51.17
often when I go
out, I'll tell people,
00:12:51.20\00:12:55.24
"I pray and ask God
to discipline me... "
00:12:55.27\00:12:59.27
you know what happens?
00:12:59.31\00:13:01.41
There's a collective
gasp in the audience...
00:13:01.44\00:13:04.41
woooo... like, "Oh no... "
00:13:04.45\00:13:06.82
you see, God is
the perfect Father,
00:13:06.85\00:13:10.45
He is never going to punish
you if you need to be loved on,
00:13:10.49\00:13:16.36
He's never going
to love on you...
00:13:16.39\00:13:17.79
well, He always
loves you but I mean,
00:13:17.86\00:13:19.19
He's never going to coddle
you if you need to be punished.
00:13:19.23\00:13:22.06
In Hebrews 12:7,
the Bible says...
00:13:22.10\00:13:26.10
you must submit to
and endure correction
00:13:26.13\00:13:28.90
for discipline...
00:13:28.94\00:13:30.47
because God is
dealing with as sons
00:13:30.51\00:13:32.71
and you know what?
00:13:32.74\00:13:35.38
If you are
expecting and asking God,
00:13:35.41\00:13:38.71
"Lord, discipline me... "
00:13:38.75\00:13:40.38
you know how He does it?
00:13:40.42\00:13:42.58
He whispers at first
00:13:42.62\00:13:44.69
He'll say, "Shelley,
no... come here honey... "
00:13:44.75\00:13:47.66
He guides you
with His eye upon you
00:13:47.69\00:13:51.39
till you come to Him
00:13:51.43\00:13:52.76
but if
00:13:52.79\00:13:54.96
we don't know the
character of God...
00:13:55.00\00:13:56.97
if we're not
listening for that whisper,
00:13:57.00\00:13:59.43
He has to talk a
little bit louder...
00:13:59.47\00:14:01.90
a little bit louder
00:14:01.94\00:14:03.61
and then, if we don't obey
00:14:03.64\00:14:06.84
we're going to suffer the
consequences of our action.
00:14:06.88\00:14:09.94
So, I'll just sum
it up by saying this,
00:14:09.98\00:14:13.68
to know God and His character
00:14:13.72\00:14:17.12
we understand the Ten
commandments are His law of love
00:14:17.15\00:14:20.66
and a parameter that God
set to give us a good life.
00:14:20.69\00:14:24.16
Panel: Amen... amen...
00:14:24.23\00:14:25.56
Terry: Well, thank you, um, so
I'd been given Monday's lesson
00:14:25.59\00:14:29.83
and when I look at the title,
it says: A Witness Against You.
00:14:29.86\00:14:34.14
Now, I don't know
about you folks here
00:14:34.17\00:14:36.27
but if I've ever wanted
someone to witness for me,
00:14:36.30\00:14:39.61
I want them to be a witness
for me not against me, right?
00:14:39.64\00:14:42.68
You know, A
Witness Against You...
00:14:42.71\00:14:44.51
and so, we're going to pick it
up from where Shelley left off
00:14:44.55\00:14:48.25
in Deuteronomy 31,
and just to re-cap...
00:14:48.28\00:14:50.95
Deuteronomy 31... as
I was given this lesson
00:14:50.99\00:14:53.56
and I said, "Let's go
back and look at the context
00:14:53.59\00:14:56.96
of what's going on
in Deuteronomy 31... "
00:14:56.99\00:14:59.59
and, of course, we
know that Moses had...
00:14:59.66\00:15:02.23
had... it was
nearing the end of his life
00:15:02.26\00:15:05.33
and God had said,
00:15:05.37\00:15:06.90
"You're going to sleep
with your fathers very soon
00:15:06.94\00:15:09.50
and Joshua is going to come in
and pick up where you left off
00:15:09.54\00:15:14.04
and he's going to lead
you into the Promised Land"
00:15:14.08\00:15:17.81
but then... but then
God has a little kind of...
00:15:17.85\00:15:21.55
hmmm... I'm going
to say a little meeting
00:15:21.58\00:15:23.39
with Joshua and
Moses and he says...
00:15:23.42\00:15:26.32
"Again, Moses,
you're not going to lead...
00:15:26.35\00:15:28.66
you're going to
sleep with your fathers
00:15:28.72\00:15:30.96
and unfortunately,
after... after you are deceased,
00:15:30.99\00:15:36.77
the people are going
to break the covenant
00:15:36.80\00:15:40.30
that I made with them
00:15:40.34\00:15:42.80
and they're going
to serve other gods. "
00:15:42.84\00:15:44.87
Now, who wants
to hear that, right?
00:15:44.91\00:15:46.24
Panel: Agreeing.
00:15:46.27\00:15:47.61
Terry: You know, I
mean, you would think,
00:15:47.64\00:15:48.98
I don't know what
Moses was thinking,
00:15:49.01\00:15:50.35
he was maybe thinking,
"Wow, it's going to be...
00:15:50.38\00:15:51.85
it's going to be...
you know, continue on... "
00:15:51.91\00:15:55.28
but no, no... and
he goes on and he says,
00:15:55.32\00:15:58.95
"My anger... my anger is
going to be kindled against them
00:15:59.02\00:16:03.53
and I will hide
my face from them
00:16:03.59\00:16:07.36
and as a result of that,
00:16:07.40\00:16:09.26
many troubles are
going to befall my people,
00:16:09.30\00:16:12.63
and eventually the
people will recognize
00:16:12.67\00:16:15.90
that these
troubles have come upon them
00:16:15.94\00:16:18.97
because I am not
in their midst... "
00:16:19.04\00:16:22.04
and, you know, I don't
know if Moses' bubble was burst
00:16:22.08\00:16:27.15
a little bit at that...
00:16:27.18\00:16:28.52
at hearing
that... but that's what...
00:16:28.55\00:16:30.79
and I like it... at
the end of verse 21,
00:16:30.82\00:16:33.39
it says... God is saying,
00:16:33.42\00:16:36.16
"I know their
imagination which they go about
00:16:36.19\00:16:39.29
and even now before I
have brought them into the land
00:16:39.33\00:16:43.97
which I swear. "
00:16:44.00\00:16:45.70
You know, one of the
things that I love about God
00:16:45.73\00:16:48.94
there's lots of
things to love about God
00:16:48.97\00:16:50.87
but one of the things
that I love about God is,
00:16:50.91\00:16:53.44
He knows what's going to
happen before it ever happens.
00:16:53.48\00:16:55.58
Panel: Amen.
00:16:55.61\00:16:56.95
Terry: And you know
that's a testimony to us.
00:16:56.98\00:16:59.15
Maybe there's
someone watching today
00:16:59.21\00:17:00.92
who's going through
some really hard stuff,
00:17:00.98\00:17:02.68
going through things
that they don't understand,
00:17:02.75\00:17:04.95
God knows... God sees...
00:17:05.02\00:17:07.26
He knew before
it even came to you
00:17:07.29\00:17:09.62
that you were going to
go through this trial...
00:17:09.66\00:17:12.46
through this experience...
00:17:12.49\00:17:13.90
and He promises to be with you
00:17:13.93\00:17:15.66
if you want Him to be with you.
00:17:15.70\00:17:17.40
It reminded me of a
passage in Isaiah chapter 46
00:17:17.43\00:17:21.04
verses 9 and 10 where God says,
00:17:21.07\00:17:23.00
"Remember the
former things of old,
00:17:23.04\00:17:25.61
for I am God, and
there is none else,
00:17:25.64\00:17:28.44
I am God, and
there is none like Me,
00:17:28.48\00:17:31.08
declaring the end
from the beginning,
00:17:31.11\00:17:33.68
and from ancient times the
things that are not yet done,
00:17:33.72\00:17:38.05
saying, 'My counsel shall stand,
00:17:38.09\00:17:40.79
and I will do
all My pleasure. '"
00:17:40.82\00:17:43.43
God knows... He
sees... He understands...
00:17:43.46\00:17:46.09
He knows what's before...
long before it ever even comes.
00:17:46.13\00:17:49.16
He knows what
you're going to go through,
00:17:49.20\00:17:50.93
He knew what the children of
Israel were going to go through.
00:17:50.97\00:17:53.74
Now, let's talk about
this witness for a moment,
00:17:53.77\00:17:56.20
as I said before,
what is a witness?
00:17:56.24\00:17:59.04
A witness is
someone who can testify...
00:17:59.07\00:18:01.74
or something that can
testify to what has occurred.
00:18:01.81\00:18:04.91
I don't know if...
I've never had personally...
00:18:04.95\00:18:08.02
but I've never had
to serve in a Court
00:18:08.05\00:18:09.62
where I've had to be
a witness for someone...
00:18:09.65\00:18:11.79
I can only imagine what
that would have been like...
00:18:11.82\00:18:13.89
or what that
experience would be like...
00:18:13.92\00:18:15.39
but again, you
don't want to hear
00:18:15.42\00:18:17.23
that there is someone being
called as a witness against you,
00:18:17.26\00:18:20.40
you want to hear from
somebody who's going to...
00:18:20.46\00:18:22.00
who's going to
testify of your character...
00:18:22.03\00:18:23.80
what... what a good person...
00:18:23.83\00:18:25.17
or you wouldn't have
done this thing or whatever...
00:18:25.20\00:18:26.84
but it says, "A
witness against you"
00:18:26.87\00:18:30.57
so, the lesson says that Moses
speaks of the Book of the Law
00:18:30.61\00:18:36.11
as though it is a
living being with power
00:18:36.14\00:18:40.55
to reprove the hearts of men.
00:18:40.58\00:18:42.85
Panel: Amen... praise God.
00:18:42.88\00:18:45.05
Terry: Now, I
don't know about you
00:18:45.09\00:18:47.26
but I have heard this... this...
this argument many times,
00:18:47.29\00:18:51.23
"Oh, Colossians
2:14 says... " you know,
00:18:51.26\00:18:54.33
"the handwriting of
ordinances which is against you"
00:18:54.36\00:18:57.33
my Friends, that is not
the Ten commandment law.
00:18:57.37\00:18:59.77
Panel: That's
right... that's right, amen.
00:18:59.80\00:19:01.14
Terry: As Sister
Shelley just said,
00:19:01.17\00:19:02.50
they put it on the side
of the Ark of the Covenant
00:19:02.54\00:19:05.74
that indicated...
it would be temporary
00:19:05.77\00:19:07.94
and since when has the Ten
Commandments ever been used
00:19:07.98\00:19:10.91
against us,
right? Panel: Agreeing.
00:19:10.95\00:19:13.01
Terry: No... no... no...
I'm sure many of our Viewers
00:19:13.08\00:19:15.82
have heard
the... the illustration
00:19:15.88\00:19:18.25
that, let's say... you're...
00:19:18.29\00:19:20.02
you're outside
working in the garden
00:19:20.06\00:19:22.02
and you get dirt on
your face or whatever
00:19:22.06\00:19:25.19
now, your eyeballs don't have
the ability to see your face...
00:19:25.23\00:19:28.40
so, you don't know that
there's dirt on your face
00:19:28.46\00:19:31.03
until you come
in and do... what?
00:19:31.07\00:19:32.97
You go to the washroom...
you wash up your hands
00:19:33.00\00:19:35.54
and you look at
your mirror, and you say,
00:19:35.57\00:19:37.07
"Oh man, look at my
face, it's filthy. "
00:19:37.11\00:19:38.54
Does the mirror have the
ability to clean your face?
00:19:38.57\00:19:42.01
Panel: No... no...
00:19:42.04\00:19:43.38
Terry: Do the Ten
Commandments have the ability
00:19:43.41\00:19:45.15
to correct our sin?
00:19:45.21\00:19:46.55
No... but I
love what Jesus said,
00:19:46.58\00:19:48.85
He said, "If you love me,
you will keep my commandments. "
00:19:48.88\00:19:51.62
Panel: That's right.
00:19:51.65\00:19:52.99
Terry: The commandments...
ah... the commandments are not
00:19:53.02\00:19:54.82
a way of salvation,
00:19:54.86\00:19:56.32
they are, I'd like to
say, "Proof of salvation... "
00:19:56.36\00:19:58.69
Terry: They are
evidence that we belong to God
00:19:58.73\00:20:01.66
and we follow His
way, so, now we go to...
00:20:01.70\00:20:04.60
go to Paul... Paul is
talking in Romans chapter 3,
00:20:04.63\00:20:08.60
in the latter part of the lesson
00:20:08.64\00:20:10.67
and they have us read
some very familiar passages
00:20:10.71\00:20:14.68
of Scripture, Romans chapter
3 and beginning with verse 19
00:20:14.71\00:20:17.78
and I'm reading from the
Standard King James this morning
00:20:17.81\00:20:20.85
today... and it says,
00:20:20.88\00:20:22.38
"Now we know that what
things soever the law says,
00:20:22.42\00:20:26.15
it saith to them
that are under the law:
00:20:26.22\00:20:28.62
that every mouth may be stopped,
00:20:28.69\00:20:30.76
and all the world may
become guilty before God.
00:20:30.79\00:20:33.46
Therefore by
the deeds of the law
00:20:33.50\00:20:35.96
there shall no
flesh be... " what?
00:20:36.00\00:20:38.47
"justified" right?
00:20:38.50\00:20:40.37
"in His sight: for
by the law is... " what?
00:20:40.40\00:20:43.24
"the knowledge of sin. "
00:20:43.27\00:20:45.21
The law doesn't
necessarily correct our sin,
00:20:45.24\00:20:47.94
it doesn't help
us to become better,
00:20:47.98\00:20:49.61
but it shows us what
our character flaws are
00:20:49.64\00:20:52.88
and then down at the
end in verse 23 he says,
00:20:52.91\00:20:56.08
"For all have sinned and come
short of the glory of God. "
00:20:56.12\00:21:00.79
Panel: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:21:00.86\00:21:02.29
Terry: You know,
when I think about that,
00:21:02.32\00:21:04.13
don't get too down on yourself
00:21:04.16\00:21:06.70
whenever you find
that you messed up
00:21:06.73\00:21:08.40
or whenever you find that you
make a mistake, for Paul says,
00:21:08.46\00:21:10.97
"All have sinned...
" but you know what?
00:21:11.00\00:21:12.53
there's grace found in Jesus...
00:21:12.57\00:21:14.14
there's grace found
in the blood of the Lamb
00:21:14.17\00:21:18.37
and even back in
verse 10 of chapter 3 there
00:21:18.41\00:21:22.54
it says, "there
is none righteous...
00:21:22.58\00:21:24.78
no... not one. "
00:21:24.81\00:21:26.58
Not one... but in Jesus...
in Jesus there is victory
00:21:26.61\00:21:31.09
and so, when we talk
about a witness against us,
00:21:31.12\00:21:36.19
I like that... they
wrap up on Monday's lesson
00:21:36.22\00:21:40.46
by saying, "Even as
we seek to obey God's law
00:21:40.50\00:21:44.67
with all our God-given strength,
00:21:44.70\00:21:47.54
in what ways
does His law function
00:21:47.57\00:21:50.37
as a witness against us?"
00:21:50.41\00:21:52.74
Unfortunately, the...
the... the... the Old Covenant
00:21:52.77\00:21:56.58
the Old Covenant served as
that witness against you...
00:21:56.61\00:22:00.35
they... remember
as Shelley pointed out
00:22:00.42\00:22:02.65
the first time that God
came to them and they said,
00:22:02.68\00:22:05.49
"All that the Lord has
spoken, we will do... " right?
00:22:05.52\00:22:07.82
and did they?
00:22:07.86\00:22:09.19
Panel: No... Terry: No...
00:22:09.22\00:22:10.56
over and over and over
God had to correct them,
00:22:10.59\00:22:13.19
God had to guide them and
sometimes even discipline them
00:22:13.23\00:22:17.80
but whenever we talk about
that... that witness against us,
00:22:17.83\00:22:22.37
yes, that Old Covenant...
00:22:22.40\00:22:24.61
I'm so glad we don't have
to live by that Old Covenant...
00:22:24.64\00:22:26.71
Panel: Yes. Terry: Imagine if...
00:22:26.78\00:22:28.11
imagine that if every
time one of us messed up,
00:22:28.14\00:22:29.84
that we had to go
and get a precious lamb
00:22:29.91\00:22:31.65
and take it to the priest
00:22:31.68\00:22:33.21
and... and... and
offered it as a sacrifice,
00:22:33.28\00:22:35.72
oh, how painful that would be.
00:22:35.75\00:22:37.09
I'm so glad that
we don't have to...
00:22:37.12\00:22:39.19
we don't have to
live according...
00:22:39.22\00:22:41.32
because... why? Jesus...
00:22:41.36\00:22:42.69
Jesus has
fulfilled all of that...
00:22:42.72\00:22:45.66
Jesus has provided the sub...
00:22:45.69\00:22:47.90
He's the true
Lamb... the true substitution
00:22:47.93\00:22:50.83
and we don't have to
worry anymore... but guess what?
00:22:50.87\00:22:55.24
In the blood of
Christ, there is victory
00:22:55.27\00:22:57.94
and there is
power to overcome...
00:22:57.97\00:23:00.28
there is power... what is it?
00:23:00.31\00:23:02.54
There is power in the
blood of the Lamb, right?
00:23:02.58\00:23:04.28
You know, there's power...
power... wonder-working power...
00:23:04.31\00:23:07.12
God offers that
power to us so...
00:23:07.15\00:23:10.19
so don't get tripped
up by... by thinking that
00:23:10.22\00:23:13.15
"Oh, the Ten Commandments
are not important anymore...
00:23:13.19\00:23:15.06
oh... they're done away with
and nailed to the cross... "
00:23:15.12\00:23:16.79
that's not what Paul says,
00:23:16.83\00:23:18.16
what Paul is
saying in Colossians...
00:23:18.19\00:23:19.53
he's saying that...
that... that Book of the Law
00:23:19.56\00:23:21.26
that really was a
witness against you
00:23:21.30\00:23:24.17
you don't have to abide by
that any longer... Shelley.
00:23:24.20\00:23:28.77
Shelley: Amen,
thank you so much,
00:23:28.80\00:23:30.51
this is Terry's
first time with us,
00:23:30.54\00:23:32.21
he's done a marvelous job.
00:23:32.27\00:23:33.94
Jill: Amen.
00:23:33.98\00:23:35.31
Shelley: We got to remember
that the Ten Commandments
00:23:35.34\00:23:38.01
are actually ten promises
00:23:38.05\00:23:40.65
of what God will
empower us to do...
00:23:40.68\00:23:43.79
it is His law of love
that reflects His character.
00:23:43.82\00:23:47.29
Okay, we're going
to have a quick break,
00:23:47.32\00:23:48.79
we'll be right back.
00:23:48.82\00:23:50.76

Now, Danny is going
to take Tuesday's lesson:
00:24:24.39\00:24:27.83
That You May Prosper.
00:24:27.86\00:24:29.20
Danny: Well, I've
been blessed so far,
00:24:29.23\00:24:31.03
I don't know about you all
00:24:31.07\00:24:32.40
but this is really wonderful
to study about the law of God.
00:24:32.43\00:24:35.97
The text is Joshua 1:7 to 8
00:24:36.00\00:24:39.34
if you all want
to read it with me,
00:24:39.37\00:24:41.04
it says, "Only be
strong and very courageous,
00:24:41.08\00:24:43.78
that you may observe to
do according to all the law
00:24:43.81\00:24:46.82
which Moses my
servant commanded you;
00:24:46.85\00:24:49.52
do not turn from it to
the right hand or the left"
00:24:49.58\00:24:52.59
keep that in mind...
we'll talk about it later,
00:24:52.62\00:24:55.62
"that you may do... " what?
00:24:55.66\00:24:57.46
"prosper wherever you go.
00:24:57.49\00:24:59.26
This Book of the Law shall
not depart from your mouth,
00:24:59.29\00:25:03.03
but you shall meditate
in it day and night... "
00:25:03.06\00:25:06.90
wow... "you shall
meditate in it day and night,
00:25:06.94\00:25:10.24
that you may observe
to do according to... "
00:25:10.31\00:25:13.58
a little bit that's written...
00:25:13.61\00:25:14.94
Panel: No...
00:25:14.98\00:25:16.31
Danny: No, all... right?
00:25:16.34\00:25:17.68
"that you may do all
that is written in it.
00:25:17.71\00:25:20.12
For then you will
make your way prosperous,
00:25:20.15\00:25:22.72
and then you will
have good success. "
00:25:22.75\00:25:24.85
Now, how many of us don't
want to be prosperous and...
00:25:24.89\00:25:28.06
and succeed in
whatever we're doing, right?
00:25:28.09\00:25:29.99
So, there you have it... the
key to prosperity and success
00:25:30.03\00:25:33.46
is to meditate on the
law of God day and night
00:25:33.50\00:25:37.00
and then, to do it...
00:25:37.03\00:25:38.37
"do" is an action
word, I would say,
00:25:38.40\00:25:40.30
do according to what
is written in that law.
00:25:40.34\00:25:43.30
So, first of all, God
wants His people to prosper
00:25:43.34\00:25:46.51
and be successful,
do you agree with that?
00:25:46.54\00:25:48.81
In fact, He
wants us "to prosper...
00:25:48.84\00:25:51.08
be in good health... " it says,
00:25:51.11\00:25:53.31
I threw in Jeremiah 29:11
that I'm sure you all know,
00:25:53.35\00:25:56.92
"For I know the
plans I have for you,"
00:25:56.95\00:25:59.72
declares the LORD,
"plans to prosper you
00:25:59.75\00:26:02.49
and not to harm you,
00:26:02.52\00:26:04.03
plans to give you
hope and a future. "
00:26:04.06\00:26:06.19
Isn't that...
that's the loving God
00:26:06.23\00:26:07.90
that you all
were talking about...
00:26:07.93\00:26:09.50
Terry, you were
just talking about
00:26:09.53\00:26:11.17
that's... that's on our side...
00:26:11.20\00:26:12.73
He... He's the
witness for us not against us.
00:26:12.77\00:26:16.14
So, if we are to reflect
God's character in our lives,
00:26:16.20\00:26:19.67
then I think it's safe
to say we need to be happy
00:26:19.71\00:26:22.38
and healthy and
prosperous, right?
00:26:22.44\00:26:24.81
And we should see it
in whatever we're doing
00:26:24.85\00:26:27.35
but so... here is
the... the key though...
00:26:27.38\00:26:29.82
the key word would be,
"How do we define success
00:26:29.85\00:26:32.75
and prosperity?"
00:26:32.79\00:26:34.12
Because everybody... it's going
to mean something differently
00:26:34.16\00:26:37.49
so, we can read
the Scripture and say,
00:26:37.53\00:26:39.43
some business person can say,
00:26:39.49\00:26:41.73
"Wow! I'm
fulfilling the Scriptures
00:26:41.76\00:26:44.77
because I'm very
successful in my business. "
00:26:44.80\00:26:47.04
Somebody else says, "Well,
hey, I'm... I'm very prosperous
00:26:47.07\00:26:50.71
in... in... in what I do... "
00:26:50.74\00:26:52.31
but let's see... let's
try to define it a little bit
00:26:52.34\00:26:55.18
work in to it.
00:26:55.21\00:26:56.54
The key here again... how do we
define success and prosperity?
00:26:56.58\00:27:00.65
The secular world defines it,
"Success is money... power...
00:27:00.72\00:27:04.85
and influence... " right?
00:27:04.89\00:27:06.65
In general,
there's other things...
00:27:06.69\00:27:08.02
but in general
00:27:08.06\00:27:09.76
but it's not like the
secular world versus the church
00:27:09.79\00:27:13.03
or... or Christians because
honestly within Christianity
00:27:13.06\00:27:17.07
there is counterfeit prosperity
00:27:17.10\00:27:19.63
which brings me... if you
ever watch radio and television,
00:27:19.67\00:27:22.57
there's a whole
lot of televangelists
00:27:22.60\00:27:24.67
that preaches what is
called "A Prosperity Gospel... "
00:27:24.71\00:27:27.11
Panel: That's right.
00:27:27.14\00:27:28.48
Danny: Now, let's talk
about that prosperity gospel
00:27:28.51\00:27:30.55
for just a little
bit... what it really...
00:27:30.58\00:27:32.71
and I'll just do
it in a nutshell...
00:27:32.75\00:27:34.12
I made a lot of notes and
I'll go through all of that
00:27:34.15\00:27:36.28
but in a nutshell, it says,
00:27:36.35\00:27:38.32
"Listen, if you
want God to bless you,
00:27:38.35\00:27:40.46
then, whatever
you send to me... "
00:27:40.49\00:27:42.46
that's the televangelist talking
00:27:42.49\00:27:44.39
"God will bless
it a hundredfold. "
00:27:44.43\00:27:46.36
So, if you've
got... one man said...
00:27:46.39\00:27:48.46
"if you got an old
Cadillac... " you know,
00:27:48.50\00:27:50.40
or got a... he just
said, he changed it...
00:27:50.47\00:27:52.33
he didn't want an old Cadillac
00:27:52.37\00:27:53.70
but... "if you
got a good Cadillac
00:27:53.74\00:27:55.07
and you donate it to me,
00:27:55.10\00:27:56.44
God will give you
a brand-new one. "
00:27:56.47\00:27:57.87
That's called prosperity
00:27:57.94\00:27:59.54
so, if you give to
that Prosperity Preacher
00:27:59.57\00:28:02.61
according to them...
prosperity and success
00:28:02.64\00:28:05.65
God is going to
measure that out to you
00:28:05.68\00:28:08.62
but I found out... my
experience has told me
00:28:08.65\00:28:10.75
and when you get my age,
00:28:10.79\00:28:12.12
you start getting
a little experience
00:28:12.15\00:28:13.49
if nothing else...
00:28:13.52\00:28:14.86
is that usually the
only ones becoming healthy
00:28:14.89\00:28:17.33
and wealthy are
the prosperity teachers
00:28:17.36\00:28:19.89
because it doesn't
always work that way.
00:28:19.93\00:28:22.40
Now, does God bless your giving
in the support of His work?
00:28:22.43\00:28:26.63
Absolutely...
00:28:26.67\00:28:28.00
Will, He multiplies when
you're giving to His cause?
00:28:28.04\00:28:31.14
Absolutely.
00:28:31.17\00:28:32.51
Can you prosper?
00:28:32.54\00:28:33.98
Absolutely, you can
but I want to say here...
00:28:34.01\00:28:36.85
so, what is the
Scripture talking about
00:28:36.88\00:28:39.41
when it says...
when it says right here
00:28:39.45\00:28:41.88
that we will prosper
and we'll be successful.
00:28:41.95\00:28:45.02
Now, could it mean that we
will be prosperous in business
00:28:45.05\00:28:49.46
and that we will be
successful in our business?
00:28:49.52\00:28:52.49
Of course, that is one of
the definitions it could be.
00:28:52.53\00:28:55.76
I think a lot of
these prosperity preachers
00:28:55.80\00:28:59.43
should be teaching the
truth and that truth is
00:28:59.47\00:29:02.77
that our knowledge...
we prosper spiritually
00:29:02.80\00:29:05.51
by keeping and obeying
the commandments of God.
00:29:05.54\00:29:08.18
Most of those...
00:29:08.21\00:29:09.54
many of those already
as you guys have mentioned
00:29:09.58\00:29:12.65
have said, "Well,
they're nailed to the cross... "
00:29:12.71\00:29:15.15
would you say?
Colossians... you brought up...
00:29:15.18\00:29:17.15
Colossians...
they're nailed to the cross.
00:29:17.19\00:29:19.05
No... the Ten Commandments
were not nailed to the cross,
00:29:19.09\00:29:22.22
so, success means
a number of things...
00:29:22.26\00:29:25.33
prosperity and success does not
always fit the description...
00:29:25.36\00:29:28.86
I wrote down... of how
the world judges prosperity
00:29:28.90\00:29:31.57
and success.
00:29:31.60\00:29:33.03
What... let's
look at it like this,
00:29:33.07\00:29:34.97
what prosperous, wealthy person
00:29:35.00\00:29:37.11
who is really old and
sick wouldn't trade, right,
00:29:37.17\00:29:41.01
his treasure... his...
his prosperous life, right?
00:29:41.04\00:29:44.75
and successful
business for youth and... and...
00:29:44.78\00:29:48.48
and... and health?
00:29:48.52\00:29:50.05
Right? because when
we get down to the end,
00:29:50.09\00:29:52.65
we find out that
what the world judges
00:29:52.69\00:29:54.66
as prosperous and successful
00:29:54.72\00:29:57.06
does not line up to the Bible.
00:29:57.09\00:29:59.36
So, while we as
Christians can enjoy good health
00:29:59.39\00:30:02.40
and prosper in business,
00:30:02.43\00:30:03.77
I believe the bigger picture
00:30:03.80\00:30:05.27
of prosperity and
success comes from knowing
00:30:05.30\00:30:08.57
and obeying the law of God.
00:30:08.60\00:30:10.47
Why is that?
00:30:10.51\00:30:11.84
Because in the law of
God we find eternal life.
00:30:11.87\00:30:13.94
Only then can we
trust God with our lives
00:30:13.98\00:30:16.75
and with our talents and
abilities that He's given us
00:30:16.78\00:30:19.81
so, prospering in your
Christian walk with the Lord
00:30:19.88\00:30:22.88
and prospering in your ministry
00:30:22.92\00:30:24.42
fulfilling the
great gospel commission of
00:30:24.45\00:30:27.16
"Go ye into all the world... "
00:30:27.19\00:30:28.69
for me it says...
in the preparing...
00:30:28.72\00:30:33.06
and preparing our
family and ourselves for heaven
00:30:33.09\00:30:35.93
is the greatest
success we can attain.
00:30:35.96\00:30:38.70
Getting our lives
and those around us
00:30:38.73\00:30:41.47
witnessing for Jesus...
00:30:41.50\00:30:43.07
that to me is true
prosperity and true success.
00:30:43.10\00:30:47.14
So, to set the
record straight again,
00:30:47.18\00:30:49.61
prosperity and
success is not measured
00:30:49.64\00:30:52.01
by how much money we have...
00:30:52.08\00:30:53.42
how much power and how
much influence we have,
00:30:53.45\00:30:56.12
it's measured by eternal life.
00:30:56.15\00:30:58.12
Did we answer the
call of God on our lives
00:30:58.15\00:31:00.66
and be a witness for Him
00:31:00.69\00:31:02.42
and submit and
commit our lives to Jesus
00:31:02.46\00:31:04.59
or did we turn
away as the world says
00:31:04.66\00:31:06.73
to do our own thing and
decide to live our own life.
00:31:06.80\00:31:10.17
Joshua here tells us that if we
keep focused on the law of God,
00:31:10.20\00:31:13.84
we meditated on
it day and night,
00:31:13.87\00:31:16.34
and that we'll obey
it... we will prosper
00:31:16.37\00:31:19.21
and we'll succeed.
00:31:19.24\00:31:20.58
Now, to me 3ABN... and of course
maybe I'm a little prejudiced
00:31:20.61\00:31:24.48
but 3ABN is a great
example of a success
00:31:24.51\00:31:28.35
after 35 years of ministry
00:31:28.38\00:31:30.95
starting with nothing and
now able to reach the world
00:31:30.99\00:31:34.06
okay, so the
question may be asked,
00:31:34.09\00:31:36.76
"What is the
secret to 3ABN's success?"
00:31:36.79\00:31:38.96
First, I'll tell
you what it's not...
00:31:38.99\00:31:41.16
okay, what it's not...
00:31:41.20\00:31:42.93
it's not because of
any of the leadership
00:31:42.96\00:31:45.13
or any of the messengers
00:31:45.17\00:31:46.50
because none of us are perfect,
00:31:46.53\00:31:48.80
I hate to tell you
all this but none of us...
00:31:48.84\00:31:50.77
we are all imperfect vessels...
00:31:50.81\00:31:52.61
so are you at
home... don't be laughing...
00:31:52.64\00:31:54.78
so... so you are
too... we're all imperfect...
00:31:54.81\00:31:56.91
the correct answer
in my opinion is this,
00:31:56.95\00:31:59.81
God gave 3ABN the commission
00:31:59.85\00:32:02.25
of taking an
undiluted 3 Angels' messages
00:32:02.28\00:32:04.65
one that would
counteract the counterfeit
00:32:04.69\00:32:07.06
into all the world
00:32:07.09\00:32:08.86
and for 35 years...
00:32:08.92\00:32:10.63
that's exactly what
we've been preaching.
00:32:10.66\00:32:12.86
Now, there are
many who started out
00:32:12.89\00:32:15.26
whether it be George
Vandeman... Joe Crews...
00:32:15.30\00:32:17.57
even Kenneth Cox...
00:32:17.60\00:32:18.97
many of those
are asleep in Jesus,
00:32:19.00\00:32:20.84
many have been preaching
this message for years,
00:32:20.87\00:32:24.11
but the new Ryan Days
and the Terry Sheltons
00:32:24.14\00:32:27.34
and all the young ones you see
are preaching the same message,
00:32:27.38\00:32:30.21
they didn't deviate...
00:32:30.25\00:32:31.58
3ABN has not gone to the left...
we've not gone to the right
00:32:31.61\00:32:35.75
so, what's important
is not the messenger...
00:32:35.78\00:32:38.05
it's... it's the message.
00:32:38.12\00:32:39.59
Panel: That's right... yeah.
00:32:39.62\00:32:41.02
Danny: So, if we will
stick as this Scripture said
00:32:41.06\00:32:44.16
to the law of God, we'll
meditate on it day and night
00:32:44.19\00:32:47.20
that we don't go to the right...
or we don't go to the left...
00:32:47.23\00:32:50.50
and we say, "Lord, I'm putting
my life into your hand... "
00:32:50.53\00:32:53.74
so, to me the success is 3ABN.
00:32:53.77\00:32:55.97
You think about a ministry
that for so many years...
00:32:56.00\00:32:59.24
year after year after year...
00:32:59.27\00:33:01.41
and all the
millions of dollars it takes
00:33:01.44\00:33:03.35
without doing beg-a-thons
and prosperity gospel
00:33:03.38\00:33:06.11
somehow, all the bills are
paid when it comes to the end.
00:33:06.18\00:33:08.78
I mean, to me, that
is absolutely amazing
00:33:08.85\00:33:12.22
so, I'm running out...
I'm looking at that clock
00:33:12.25\00:33:14.26
and now it's being a
witness and against me, Terry...
00:33:14.29\00:33:16.36
Panel: Laughter.
00:33:16.39\00:33:17.73
Danny: So, all I want to
say to you is the... the...
00:33:17.76\00:33:21.13
that God's Word
equips us to overcome sin
00:33:21.16\00:33:23.57
by the blood of the Lamb
00:33:23.60\00:33:25.03
and so, today
realize we're in a...
00:33:25.07\00:33:27.70
there's a war raging,
00:33:27.77\00:33:29.10
you and I are in this
battle between good and evil...
00:33:29.14\00:33:32.11
the great controversy
between... between good and evil
00:33:32.14\00:33:35.24
and so, the devil is out
to get us... to deceive us
00:33:35.28\00:33:38.38
but we can always
trust in the Lord,
00:33:38.41\00:33:40.85
so Terry said it beautifully,
00:33:40.88\00:33:42.45
that all we have to do is submit
and commit our lives to Jesus
00:33:42.48\00:33:45.75
and say, "Lord, create within me
a new heart... I'm a sinner... "
00:33:45.79\00:33:49.02
and if we confess our sins
00:33:49.06\00:33:50.79
He is faithful and just
to forgive us from our sins
00:33:50.83\00:33:53.33
and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.
00:33:53.36\00:33:56.50
What a wonderful God we serve
00:33:56.56\00:33:58.87
and I hope today that
each and every one of you,
00:33:58.90\00:34:01.34
if you've not already
made your choice for Jesus
00:34:01.37\00:34:03.81
that you do it today.
00:34:03.84\00:34:05.17
Panel: Hmmm... amen...
00:34:05.24\00:34:06.57
Ryan: Praise the
Lord... you just...
00:34:06.61\00:34:08.01
you made my job
easier as far as mine goes...
00:34:08.04\00:34:10.75
and, I believe,
it's Wednesday's lesson:
00:34:10.78\00:34:13.11
The Toils and
Struggles of Law Keepers
00:34:13.15\00:34:15.42
there's also an aspect
of talking about prosperity
00:34:15.45\00:34:18.65
in connection with law keeping
00:34:18.69\00:34:20.02
and that happens to
be one of the questions
00:34:20.06\00:34:22.46
that comes up often
00:34:22.49\00:34:24.13
and that is... the
"what ifs" and the "whys"
00:34:24.16\00:34:26.39
of... of... you
know... there's this promise...
00:34:26.43\00:34:29.16
for instance you gave... I think
you gave Joshua as an example,
00:34:29.20\00:34:33.27
the lesson brings out
that Joshua closely followed
00:34:33.30\00:34:35.54
God's precepts
00:34:35.57\00:34:37.04
and he led the
people of Israel well,
00:34:37.07\00:34:38.67
and of course,
time and time again
00:34:38.71\00:34:40.28
the Lord tells Israel
that if they obey the law
00:34:40.31\00:34:42.11
that they would prosper
00:34:42.14\00:34:43.68
and so, you see
this promise there
00:34:43.71\00:34:45.25
but then within the home...
00:34:45.28\00:34:47.08
and we're talking
about education, right?
00:34:47.12\00:34:48.58
We're talking about... let's
just get into the family now
00:34:48.65\00:34:51.15
the home within the family...
00:34:51.19\00:34:52.62
sometimes those
tough questions come up,
00:34:52.65\00:34:53.99
you know, those
teenagers come to mom and dad
00:34:54.02\00:34:55.99
and they say, "Hey, you know...
00:34:56.02\00:34:57.36
I've been trying
to keep the law... "
00:34:57.39\00:34:58.86
okay, I'll come back to
that... "trying to keep the law
00:34:58.89\00:35:01.63
and God said that we
would prosper and all this
00:35:01.66\00:35:03.90
but I'm not
prospering... what's going on?"
00:35:03.93\00:35:06.50
And there's multiple
examples also in Scripture
00:35:06.53\00:35:08.97
where a lot of
people... they allow... they...
00:35:09.00\00:35:11.34
they twist and use the
Word of God against themselves
00:35:11.37\00:35:14.18
as a witness against
themselves, how you can do that?
00:35:14.21\00:35:16.81
I don't know...
00:35:16.85\00:35:18.21
but people
sometimes take the Word of God
00:35:18.25\00:35:19.78
and they'll twist it
to their own destruction
00:35:19.81\00:35:21.82
and allow certain aspects of
Scriptures to discourage them
00:35:21.85\00:35:25.29
because they
believe it's contradicting
00:35:25.32\00:35:27.26
one aspect or the other.
00:35:27.29\00:35:28.62
The lesson brings out
and gives a few examples,
00:35:28.66\00:35:31.29
John the Baptist is
probably a prime example,
00:35:31.33\00:35:34.33
at least one example.
00:35:34.36\00:35:35.76
I mean the Bible
says that John the Baptist
00:35:35.80\00:35:37.23
Jesus called him the
greatest of all prophets, right?
00:35:37.27\00:35:39.93
I mean, this man was full of
the Holy Spirit from the womb
00:35:40.00\00:35:43.04
and he came out preaching and
declaring the way of the Lord
00:35:43.07\00:35:46.07
to make straight the path
for Jesus to come on the scene,
00:35:46.11\00:35:48.94
and this brother ends up in jail
00:35:48.98\00:35:51.51
and, of course, a
harlot convinces the king
00:35:51.55\00:35:55.78
to give me his
head on a platter...
00:35:55.82\00:35:57.45
and you're thinking, "No...
this is God's man... " right?
00:35:57.49\00:35:59.45
He keeps the
commandments of God...
00:35:59.49\00:36:01.39
he's obedient... he
does all the Lord has said,
00:36:01.42\00:36:03.46
he's the greatest
of all the prophets,
00:36:03.49\00:36:05.03
surely, the Lord
will protect him...
00:36:05.06\00:36:06.96
he will be prosperous throughout
all of his days upon this earth,
00:36:07.00\00:36:10.63
and then, you can imagine,
you know, inside that jail cell,
00:36:10.67\00:36:14.60
John the Baptist is
praying, and saying,
00:36:14.64\00:36:16.10
"You know, Lord, I know You're
going to bring me through... "
00:36:16.17\00:36:17.77
I know... he even sent
out his guys to Jesus, right?
00:36:17.81\00:36:20.68
sent them to
Jesus... confirmed...
00:36:20.71\00:36:22.84
just to make sure
He's the right guy...
00:36:22.88\00:36:24.21
"Oh yeah, I knew it,
Jesus is going to show up...
00:36:24.25\00:36:25.91
any moment, Jesus is going
to bust me out of jail... "
00:36:25.95\00:36:29.15
and then came the day...
and what did he get from God?
00:36:29.18\00:36:32.35
Silence...
00:36:32.39\00:36:34.46
you know, that's...
that's a tough deal.
00:36:34.49\00:36:36.36
Another Example
would be job, right?
00:36:36.39\00:36:38.26
The Bible says that
Job was a perfect man
00:36:38.29\00:36:40.46
in the eyes of the Lord,
00:36:40.50\00:36:41.83
he was the obedient person...
00:36:41.86\00:36:43.30
he kept all of
God's commandments,
00:36:43.33\00:36:44.67
and... but yet... we see
that the story of Job there...
00:36:44.70\00:36:47.50
in fact, there's a clear
implied accusation in that...
00:36:47.54\00:36:50.37
in that heavenly council
meeting that Satan shows up to,
00:36:50.41\00:36:53.24
and it's so sad to
see that Satan is there
00:36:53.27\00:36:56.34
and he basically
accuses God and basically says,
00:36:56.38\00:36:59.21
"Oh, no, no,
no... you're only...
00:36:59.25\00:37:01.02
the only reason
why he's serving you
00:37:01.05\00:37:02.75
is because you're
causing him to be prosperous
00:37:02.78\00:37:04.92
and you got a hedge
your protection around him,
00:37:04.95\00:37:07.06
you lift that
hedge of protection...
00:37:07.09\00:37:09.16
you take away
all of his goodies...
00:37:09.19\00:37:11.19
and watch him curse you to
his... to... to your face... "
00:37:11.23\00:37:14.36
in other words, what
Satan was implying was
00:37:14.43\00:37:16.50
"God... you
and... you in of yourself
00:37:16.56\00:37:18.27
are not worthy
to be worshipped. "
00:37:18.30\00:37:19.73
Panel: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:37:19.80\00:37:21.14
Ryan: And so, a lot of people...
they read these stories
00:37:21.17\00:37:23.51
and they get discouraged...
00:37:23.54\00:37:25.01
Paul... take up Paul...
00:37:25.04\00:37:26.44
Read this... 2nd
Corinthians 11:23 through 29
00:37:26.47\00:37:30.31
you read this
list and you think,
00:37:30.35\00:37:32.31
"Man, this is the direct
opposite of prosperity, right?
00:37:32.38\00:37:35.95
I mean, Paul was...
he wasn't a perfect man,
00:37:35.98\00:37:38.55
he made mistakes obviously,
00:37:38.59\00:37:40.06
but from the moment
that God called him,
00:37:40.09\00:37:41.86
this brother was
growing and growing and growing
00:37:41.92\00:37:44.29
in God's grace... he was an
obedient serviceman of the Lord
00:37:44.33\00:37:47.83
but listen to this list
here, starting with verse 23,
00:37:47.86\00:37:50.67
2nd Corinthians
chapter 11, it says,
00:37:50.70\00:37:53.10
"Are they ministers of Christ?
00:37:53.13\00:37:55.77
I speak as a fool...
" notice what he says,
00:37:55.80\00:37:58.27
he says, "I am more;
in labors more abundant,
00:37:58.31\00:38:00.78
in stripes above measure,
00:38:00.81\00:38:03.51
in prisons more
frequently, in deaths often.
00:38:03.55\00:38:07.05
From the Jews,
five times I received
00:38:07.08\00:38:10.05
forty stripes minus one.
00:38:10.09\00:38:11.59
Three times I
was beaten with rods,
00:38:11.62\00:38:13.46
once I was stoned,
00:38:13.49\00:38:14.82
three times I was shipwrecked,
00:38:14.86\00:38:16.52
a night and a day I
have been in the deep;
00:38:16.56\00:38:19.59
in journeys often,
in perils of waters,
00:38:19.63\00:38:22.66
in perils of robbers,
00:38:22.70\00:38:24.03
in perils of my own countrymen,
00:38:24.07\00:38:25.57
in perils of the gentiles,
00:38:25.60\00:38:26.94
in perils of the city,
00:38:26.97\00:38:28.30
in perils of the wilderness,
00:38:28.34\00:38:29.67
in perils of the sea,
00:38:29.70\00:38:31.04
in perils among false brethren;
00:38:31.07\00:38:32.41
in weariness and
toil and sleepless,
00:38:32.44\00:38:34.88
often in hunger and thirst,
00:38:34.91\00:38:36.24
in fastings often,
00:38:36.28\00:38:37.61
in cold and nakedness.
00:38:37.65\00:38:38.98
Besides all these other things,
what comes upon me daily,
00:38:39.01\00:38:41.52
my deep concern
for all the churches. "
00:38:41.55\00:38:43.59
So, it's interesting,
you read that list there,
00:38:43.62\00:38:45.79
it's like, "Man! God...
You... You gave a promise,
00:38:45.82\00:38:47.96
did this brother prosper?"
00:38:47.99\00:38:50.59
And I think it goes
back to what Danny was saying
00:38:50.63\00:38:52.19
which... I love the
way you brought that out,
00:38:52.26\00:38:53.80
we got to
question and ask ourselves,
00:38:53.86\00:38:55.50
"What is prosperity?"
00:38:55.53\00:38:56.87
When the Bible says
that you shall prosper,
00:38:56.90\00:38:58.77
if you are obedient to God
00:38:58.83\00:39:00.67
and you are
faithful to the Lord,
00:39:00.70\00:39:02.04
does it mean that you're
going to have two Ferraris
00:39:02.07\00:39:04.14
and ten million
dollars in the bank
00:39:04.17\00:39:05.77
but yet, that's exactly
as Brother Danny brought out
00:39:05.81\00:39:08.41
and I try not to
get too deep into this
00:39:08.44\00:39:11.35
because I get a little...
little heated sometimes
00:39:11.38\00:39:13.28
when I get in this conversation
00:39:13.31\00:39:14.65
but all of these
prosperity evangelists...
00:39:14.68\00:39:16.25
these televangelists
that are out there
00:39:16.28\00:39:17.89
preaching and
teaching of, "Sow this seed
00:39:17.92\00:39:19.25
and sow that seed... "
00:39:19.29\00:39:20.62
and as you
brought out very clearly,
00:39:20.66\00:39:21.99
you know, deceiving
people into believing
00:39:22.02\00:39:23.89
that the gospel is
about how much money you give
00:39:23.93\00:39:26.73
so that you can get
even more in return...
00:39:26.76\00:39:28.43
and we know that
there are instances
00:39:28.46\00:39:30.67
I've even been on the
receiving end of a blessing,
00:39:30.70\00:39:33.40
of prosperous financial blessing
00:39:33.44\00:39:35.34
because I was able to
share or give to God's cause
00:39:35.37\00:39:38.47
but that... nowhere in
God's Word does God say,
00:39:38.51\00:39:40.98
"Hey give me money and
I'll give you more money. "
00:39:41.01\00:39:43.41
You know, "Serve me
and be obedient to me
00:39:43.45\00:39:46.01
and I'll just flood
you with all kinds of money
00:39:46.08\00:39:47.75
and all kinds of
financial blessing... "
00:39:47.78\00:39:49.22
that's not what
we're talking about
00:39:49.28\00:39:50.62
when it says, "Prosperity. "
00:39:50.65\00:39:51.99
The ultimate prosperity that we
want is a spiritual prosperity.
00:39:52.02\00:39:54.62
Panel: Amen.
00:39:54.66\00:39:55.99
Ryan: We want to be...
we want to be prosperous
00:39:56.02\00:39:57.76
in faith, hope and
love in Jesus Christ...
00:39:57.79\00:40:00.00
that's what the
gospel is about...
00:40:00.03\00:40:01.63
I think of probably
the greatest example of all
00:40:01.66\00:40:03.90
of someone who really...
you could probably say...
00:40:03.97\00:40:06.13
probably lost more than
anyone who is less prosperous...
00:40:06.17\00:40:08.64
I mean, what was Jesus?
00:40:08.67\00:40:10.17
Panel: Hmmm...
00:40:10.21\00:40:11.54
Ryan: I mean Jesus was...
00:40:11.57\00:40:12.91
there's no one else
in the history of man
00:40:12.94\00:40:15.51
that was perfect... literally...
00:40:15.54\00:40:17.08
He never sinned...
00:40:17.11\00:40:18.58
He kept God's commandments 24/7
00:40:18.61\00:40:21.45
throughout His entire life
00:40:21.48\00:40:22.98
and at the end of His
days, hanging on a cross,
00:40:23.02\00:40:25.42
what kind of response
did He get from His Father?
00:40:25.45\00:40:27.86
Silence...
00:40:27.89\00:40:29.22
Panel: Hmmm... Ryan: Silence...
00:40:29.26\00:40:30.66
does that mean
that... you know, do we...
00:40:30.69\00:40:33.60
do we look at those
instances and we question,
00:40:33.63\00:40:35.20
"Oh God didn't
keep His promise... "
00:40:35.23\00:40:36.56
No, no, no, no... we have to...
00:40:36.60\00:40:37.93
as C.S. Lewis would say,
00:40:37.97\00:40:39.33
"Sometimes we have to... we
must address the assumptions
00:40:39.40\00:40:42.44
and the question before
we answer the question... "
00:40:42.47\00:40:44.27
and a lot of people naturally
assume that prosperity means...
00:40:44.31\00:40:46.98
as we've described...
00:40:47.04\00:40:48.38
you know, lots of
financial blessing...
00:40:48.41\00:40:50.01
lots of worldly success
00:40:50.05\00:40:51.85
but God.. what He does want
us to be financially prosperous
00:40:51.88\00:40:55.32
in the sense
that our needs are met
00:40:55.35\00:40:57.32
and that we are, you
know, not necessarily
00:40:57.39\00:41:00.09
wanting in every
single aspect of life,
00:41:00.16\00:41:02.82
but more than anything,
Jesus died on the cross
00:41:02.86\00:41:04.99
so that we can be rich in
Him and rich in spirituality
00:41:05.03\00:41:08.46
rich in Jesus Christ
and in the Holy Spirit,
00:41:08.50\00:41:11.03
so, David says in
Psalm 84 verse 10,
00:41:11.07\00:41:15.27
I love this, he says,
00:41:15.30\00:41:16.64
"I would rather be a doorkeeper
00:41:16.67\00:41:18.01
in the house of my God,
00:41:18.04\00:41:19.37
than dwell in the
tents of the wickedness... "
00:41:19.41\00:41:20.74
woooo... that's
a powerful thing,
00:41:20.78\00:41:23.01
I would rather be a doorkeeper
in the house of my God,
00:41:23.04\00:41:26.01
than dwell in the
tents of wickedness...
00:41:26.05\00:41:28.48
and that should be
our... our saying as well.
00:41:28.52\00:41:31.42
That should be
where our heart is
00:41:31.45\00:41:32.79
man, I'm watching that
clock, pray for that clock...
00:41:32.82\00:41:34.52
I'm with you, Danny, on that.
00:41:34.59\00:41:35.92
So, what is the
answer, how do we answer this?
00:41:35.96\00:41:37.66
First of all, we see
brothers and sisters...
00:41:37.69\00:41:39.73
there seems to
be... like the Pauls
00:41:39.76\00:41:42.53
and the John the
Baptists and the Jobs...
00:41:42.56\00:41:45.03
you know, many of us have to...
00:41:45.07\00:41:46.40
we see... we see
each other's struggle,
00:41:46.43\00:41:47.77
we see others
struggle and it's like,
00:41:47.80\00:41:49.14
"Man! that brother and sister...
00:41:49.17\00:41:50.51
that's a
commandment-keeping person,
00:41:50.54\00:41:52.41
that's... that's...
that's... that's of the remnant
00:41:52.44\00:41:54.81
but they're struggling...
" how do we answer that?
00:41:54.84\00:41:56.68
Again, it kind of
goes back to the question
00:41:56.71\00:41:58.45
that people often ask,
"Why do good things happen... "
00:41:58.51\00:42:00.48
or excuse me, "Why
do bad things happen
00:42:00.52\00:42:02.18
to good people?" right?
00:42:02.22\00:42:03.85
and I think Pastor Lomacang
set me straight one day on that,
00:42:03.89\00:42:06.99
he said, "Yeah... that's a... "
00:42:07.02\00:42:08.62
goes back to
that C.S. Lewis thing,
00:42:08.66\00:42:10.09
he said, "You're assuming that
there's... that everyone is good
00:42:10.13\00:42:12.13
that there's good people...
00:42:12.16\00:42:13.50
remember that there's
none... none good but one
00:42:13.53\00:42:16.43
and that's Jesus Christ... "
00:42:16.46\00:42:17.80
but that being said, my Friends,
00:42:17.83\00:42:19.17
I think there are examples
in Scripture that we can give,
00:42:19.20\00:42:21.70
first of all, we
have to be remembered
00:42:21.74\00:42:23.27
or reminded that in
Isaiah 55 verses 8 and 9,
00:42:23.30\00:42:26.27
God said... He says to us,
00:42:26.31\00:42:27.88
"Look, my thoughts
are not your thoughts,
00:42:27.91\00:42:29.71
nor my ways your
ways" says the Lord.
00:42:29.74\00:42:31.91
"For as the heavens
are higher than the earth,
00:42:31.98\00:42:33.58
so are my ways
higher than yours,
00:42:33.62\00:42:35.22
and my thoughts
than your thoughts. "
00:42:35.25\00:42:37.25
God knows what's
best for you and for me
00:42:37.29\00:42:39.25
and sometimes God will
allow us to experience things
00:42:39.29\00:42:43.49
or go through certain trials
and tribulations in our life
00:42:43.53\00:42:46.03
even as commandment keepers
00:42:46.06\00:42:48.46
because He's
wanting to build character,
00:42:48.53\00:42:51.23
that Scripture that comes
to mind is James chapter 1
00:42:51.27\00:42:53.13
verses 2 through
4, I love this text,
00:42:53.17\00:42:55.27
he says, "My
brethren, count it all joy
00:42:55.30\00:42:56.94
when you fall into
various trials... "
00:42:56.97\00:42:58.54
how many of us fall into these
various trials and tribulations
00:42:58.57\00:43:01.51
and throw our
hands and then say,
00:43:01.54\00:43:02.91
"Praise God for all
of these horrible things
00:43:02.94\00:43:05.15
that are happening to me. "
00:43:05.21\00:43:06.61
You know, we don't
do that often, right?
00:43:06.65\00:43:07.98
because in our
carnal human nature,
00:43:08.02\00:43:09.35
all we can see
sometimes in the moment is,
00:43:09.38\00:43:11.32
"Man, why is
this happening to me?"
00:43:11.35\00:43:12.69
But a true spiritual
person is going to realize
00:43:12.72\00:43:15.52
that as the
Bible says, when we...
00:43:15.56\00:43:17.33
when we fall into
these various trials,
00:43:17.36\00:43:18.86
we praise God for that...
we count it a joy because
00:43:18.89\00:43:21.63
we know that it is...
our faith is being tested
00:43:21.66\00:43:24.37
and then it produces
patience... the Bible says
00:43:24.43\00:43:27.14
"But let patience... "
as James says verse 4...
00:43:27.17\00:43:29.84
again this is James 1 verse 4,
00:43:29.87\00:43:31.31
"But let patience
have its perfect work,
00:43:31.34\00:43:33.61
that you may be perfect and
complete, lacking nothing. "
00:43:33.64\00:43:36.64
So, let me set the
record straight here,
00:43:36.68\00:43:38.11
if you're someone at home
00:43:38.15\00:43:39.48
that's been
questioning the Word of God,
00:43:39.51\00:43:40.85
questioning... you know...
00:43:40.88\00:43:42.22
"You know what I've been...
I've been trying to be good
00:43:42.25\00:43:43.59
but it doesn't seem
like anything is good...
00:43:43.62\00:43:45.15
good is happening to me... "
00:43:45.19\00:43:46.52
my friends, let me
tell you something,
00:43:46.55\00:43:47.89
God is not causing those
bad things to happen to you,
00:43:47.92\00:43:50.06
Jesus clarified in Matthew 13,
00:43:50.13\00:43:52.39
in the parable of
the wheat and the tares,
00:43:52.43\00:43:54.26
He made it very,
very, very clear...
00:43:54.30\00:43:56.16
He said, "An
enemy has done this... "
00:43:56.20\00:43:58.30
you go read it,
Matthew 13 verse 28,
00:43:58.33\00:44:00.40
an enemy has done this...
00:44:00.44\00:44:01.80
don't point the finger at God
00:44:01.84\00:44:03.17
just like Job was
probably tempted to,
00:44:03.20\00:44:05.37
but Job never
gave up on the Lord...
00:44:05.41\00:44:07.54
the Lord came through for him
00:44:07.58\00:44:08.94
and ended up blessing him
much more abundantly in the end
00:44:08.98\00:44:12.01
so, even though we
go through these toils
00:44:12.05\00:44:13.98
and these tribulations
and these trials in our life,
00:44:14.02\00:44:16.79
look to Jesus... the author
and finisher of your faith.
00:44:16.82\00:44:19.52
Panel: Amen.
00:44:19.55\00:44:20.89
Jill: Thank you so much
Ryan, what an incredible study,
00:44:20.92\00:44:23.39
if you're going
through anything...
00:44:23.43\00:44:25.03
if you're discouraged,
that's the lesson for you...
00:44:25.06\00:44:27.03
powerful... thank you for that.
00:44:27.06\00:44:28.83
The law as Teacher...
00:44:28.86\00:44:30.20
we looked at the
importance of hearing the law...
00:44:30.23\00:44:32.27
loving and fearing the law...
00:44:32.30\00:44:34.00
obeying the law...
00:44:34.04\00:44:35.64
how the law leads to prosperity
especially spiritual prosperity,
00:44:35.67\00:44:40.38
I love that...
00:44:40.41\00:44:41.74
Thursday's lesson is:
Jesus, Our Example of Obedience
00:44:41.78\00:44:46.58
Jesus our Example...
00:44:46.61\00:44:49.25
He was, of course,
the perfect Lamb of God.
00:44:49.28\00:44:53.46
John said... what?
"Behold the Lamb of God
00:44:53.49\00:44:55.72
that takes away
the sin of the world. "
00:44:55.76\00:44:57.79
He was our perfect
substitute, our perfect Savior
00:44:57.83\00:45:00.66
but He was also
our perfect example.
00:45:00.70\00:45:03.43
That's what we look at today...
00:45:03.47\00:45:06.37
Jesus is our
example in obedience.
00:45:06.43\00:45:09.24
I want to start with
a poem I really like,
00:45:09.30\00:45:12.14
this is by Edgar
Guest, "Sermons We See"
00:45:12.17\00:45:15.04
you've probably heard this,
00:45:15.08\00:45:16.41
we'll just quote
a couple of stanzas:
00:45:16.44\00:45:17.91
I'd rather see a
sermon than hear one any day;
00:45:17.95\00:45:21.35
I'd rather one
should walk with me
00:45:21.38\00:45:23.45
than merely show the way.
00:45:23.49\00:45:25.62
The eye's a better pupil
and more willing than the ear,
00:45:25.65\00:45:29.72
Fine counsel is confusing,
00:45:29.76\00:45:31.79
but example...
it's always clear;
00:45:31.83\00:45:34.06
And the best of
all the preachers
00:45:34.10\00:45:36.56
are the men who
live their creeds,
00:45:36.60\00:45:39.00
For to see good put in
action is what everybody needs.
00:45:39.03\00:45:42.87
I soon can learn to do it
if you'll let me see it done;
00:45:42.90\00:45:46.74
I can watch
your hands in action,
00:45:46.78\00:45:49.18
though your
tongue too fast may run.
00:45:49.24\00:45:51.61
And the lecture you may deliver
00:45:51.65\00:45:53.48
may be very wise and true,
00:45:53.52\00:45:55.58
But I'd rather get my
lesson by observing what you do;
00:45:55.62\00:45:59.79
For I might misunderstand you
and the high advice you give,
00:45:59.82\00:46:03.66
But there's no misunderstanding
how you act and how you live.
00:46:03.73\00:46:07.50
One good man teaches many,
men believe what they behold;
00:46:07.56\00:46:12.50
One deed of kindness noticed
is worth forty that are told.
00:46:12.53\00:46:17.21
Who stands with men of honor
learns to hold this honor dear,
00:46:17.24\00:46:22.24
For right living
speaks a language
00:46:22.28\00:46:24.71
which to everyone is clear.
00:46:24.75\00:46:27.15
Though an able speaker charms
me with his eloquence, I say,
00:46:27.18\00:46:31.19
I'd rather see a
sermon than hear one, any day.
00:46:31.22\00:46:35.86
Panel: Amen...
00:46:35.89\00:46:37.23
Jill: And that's what
the Lord Jesus Christ did
00:46:37.26\00:46:40.10
when He came to
this earth as a baby,
00:46:40.13\00:46:42.90
grew up as a man
00:46:42.96\00:46:45.27
and lived that
perfect life of example
00:46:45.30\00:46:48.30
for you and I...
00:46:48.34\00:46:49.67
because we can look
at the law and say, "Wow"
00:46:49.70\00:46:51.44
Pastor Ryan,
that's pretty serious...
00:46:51.47\00:46:53.38
that's holy... the
law is holy, just and good
00:46:53.41\00:46:56.38
but when we saw Jesus
live that law out in action,
00:46:56.44\00:47:01.28
as our perfect
example of obedience.
00:47:01.32\00:47:04.49
You know there was a
leader once who said,
00:47:04.52\00:47:06.69
"Do what I say, not what I do"
00:47:06.72\00:47:08.29
but that is not
what the Lord Jesus said.
00:47:08.32\00:47:11.83
He set an
example for us to follow.
00:47:11.86\00:47:15.13
So, I want to look at
four things that Jesus chose
00:47:15.16\00:47:18.60
as it pertains to obedience.
00:47:18.63\00:47:21.30
Number 1: Jesus
chose to obey His parents.
00:47:21.34\00:47:26.34
Let's look at Luke chapter 2,
00:47:26.37\00:47:28.31
turn with me to Luke
chapter 2, verses 51 and 52.
00:47:28.34\00:47:31.75
Now, before we read this,
00:47:31.78\00:47:33.42
we know that
Jesus was in the temple
00:47:33.48\00:47:37.09
with the doctors of the law...
the rabbis... the scribes...
00:47:37.12\00:47:40.72
the Pharisees...
for days... remember?
00:47:40.76\00:47:43.39
He was listening...
He was asking questions
00:47:43.43\00:47:46.29
and answering their questions
00:47:46.33\00:47:48.16
and, of course, Mary
and Joseph lost Jesus...
00:47:48.20\00:47:50.40
we heard this on a previous
lesson for three whole days,
00:47:50.43\00:47:52.90
then, it says, right after that
00:47:52.93\00:47:56.20
they said, "Where
have you been, Jesus?"
00:47:56.24\00:47:58.61
They found Him... they
said, "Where have you been?"
00:47:58.64\00:48:00.68
and what did He say?
00:48:00.71\00:48:02.04
King James said,
00:48:02.08\00:48:03.41
"Wist ye not that I must be
about my Father's business?"
00:48:03.45\00:48:06.58
You see there,
Jesus is 12 years old
00:48:06.61\00:48:09.62
in the temple
understanding who He is
00:48:09.65\00:48:12.62
that He is the Lamb of God...
00:48:12.65\00:48:15.19
that these lambs that
are being sacrificed...
00:48:15.22\00:48:17.39
that He came to
be that sacrifice
00:48:17.43\00:48:20.43
understanding
that He came from God
00:48:20.46\00:48:22.96
and He was to be that sacrifice.
00:48:23.00\00:48:25.43
Then it says, right
after that in verse 51,
00:48:25.47\00:48:28.07
"Then He... " that's Jesus,
00:48:28.10\00:48:29.60
went down with them,
and came to Nazareth,
00:48:29.64\00:48:31.31
and was subject to them:
00:48:31.37\00:48:33.98
but his mother kept all
these things in her heart.
00:48:34.01\00:48:36.44
And Jesus increased
in wisdom and stature,
00:48:36.48\00:48:38.78
and in favour
with God and man. "
00:48:38.81\00:48:40.62
Panel: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:48:40.65\00:48:41.98
Jill: That word for
subject in Greek means to submit
00:48:42.02\00:48:44.09
or place yourself under...
00:48:44.12\00:48:46.42
it's the same word
Paul uses when he says,
00:48:46.45\00:48:48.59
"Wives submit to
your husbands... "
00:48:48.62\00:48:50.93
or, "slaves
submit to your masters"
00:48:50.96\00:48:53.16
so, Jesus was subject or
submitted to the authority
00:48:53.19\00:48:56.43
of His parents.
00:48:56.46\00:48:57.80
Now, that is
really pivotal to me
00:48:57.83\00:48:59.43
because just before
then He realized... what?
00:48:59.47\00:49:01.60
Who He was... that
He is the Son of God
00:49:01.64\00:49:04.77
yet He submitted Himself
to His parents in obedience.
00:49:04.81\00:49:10.91
Jesus chose to obey His parents.
00:49:10.95\00:49:14.25
Number 2: Jesus chose obedience
00:49:14.32\00:49:17.55
over any physical or
emotional discomfort.
00:49:17.59\00:49:21.32
Panel: Hmmm... hmmm... hmmm.
00:49:21.36\00:49:22.69
Jill: Often, if I'm
faced with ridicule or pain
00:49:22.72\00:49:27.46
or something
that seems humiliating
00:49:27.50\00:49:30.40
or a little disgraceful,
00:49:30.47\00:49:31.80
I might be tempted to
fudge or not be so obedient
00:49:31.83\00:49:36.44
but yet, Jesus chose
obedience over anything else.
00:49:36.47\00:49:41.11
Turn with me to Philippians 2,
00:49:41.14\00:49:42.64
I like this...
the mind of Christ,
00:49:42.68\00:49:44.31
Philippians 2
verses 5 through 8,
00:49:44.35\00:49:47.18
"Let this mind be in you,
which was also in Christ Jesus,
00:49:47.22\00:49:51.25
who, being in the form of God,
00:49:51.29\00:49:53.39
did not consider it to be
robbery to be equal with God,
00:49:53.42\00:49:56.29
but made Himself
of no reputation,
00:49:56.32\00:49:58.79
taking on Him the
form of a servant,
00:49:58.83\00:50:01.26
and coming in
the likeness of men.
00:50:01.30\00:50:03.50
Being found in
appearance as a man,
00:50:03.53\00:50:05.57
He humbled Himself
and became obedient... "
00:50:05.60\00:50:09.54
that's our word...
"obedient to the point of death,
00:50:09.57\00:50:12.27
even the death of the cross. "
00:50:12.31\00:50:14.68
I see five levels
of digression here...
00:50:14.71\00:50:17.75
He is the Son
of God... divine...
00:50:17.78\00:50:20.48
He could have just stooped
to the level of angels...
00:50:20.52\00:50:23.49
could have stooped to
the level of humanity...
00:50:23.52\00:50:25.79
then He stooped to the
level of sinful humanity
00:50:25.82\00:50:29.02
because He took our
flesh after the fall...
00:50:29.09\00:50:32.26
our sinful nature...
00:50:32.29\00:50:33.76
He stooped to the point of death
00:50:33.80\00:50:35.66
and not just any
death... but death on the cross
00:50:35.70\00:50:39.40
which was the most
humiliating and degrading death
00:50:39.43\00:50:43.10
that they had.
00:50:43.17\00:50:44.51
When you think, "I can't... "
00:50:44.54\00:50:46.47
remember that Jesus did...
00:50:46.51\00:50:48.51
He endured hunger and
privation, humiliation,
00:50:48.54\00:50:51.71
pain, torture and death.
00:50:51.75\00:50:53.85
He chose obedience
00:50:53.88\00:50:55.92
over any physical or
emotional discomfort.
00:50:55.95\00:50:59.09
Number 3: He chose to always
honor and obey His father.
00:50:59.12\00:51:04.69
John chapter 8 verses 28 and 29,
00:51:04.73\00:51:08.86
John 8:28 and 29,
00:51:08.93\00:51:10.67
Jesus said to them,
00:51:10.70\00:51:12.37
"When you lift
up the Son of Man,
00:51:12.40\00:51:14.27
then you will know that I am He,
00:51:14.30\00:51:16.54
and that I do nothing of Myself;
00:51:16.57\00:51:19.01
but as my Father
has taught Me... "
00:51:19.04\00:51:21.38
it was not through
any of His own strength
00:51:21.41\00:51:24.21
that He walked in obedience.
00:51:24.25\00:51:25.81
It was that
connection... dependence on
00:51:25.85\00:51:28.98
and connection with His Father.
00:51:29.02\00:51:30.92
It's because I depend on my
Father that I do these things,
00:51:30.99\00:51:34.12
verse 29, "And He
who sent Me is with Me.
00:51:34.16\00:51:37.39
The Father has
not left Me alone,
00:51:37.43\00:51:39.49
for I always do... " what?
00:51:39.53\00:51:41.93
"those things that please Him. "
00:51:41.96\00:51:44.57
Jesus always chose...
00:51:44.60\00:51:46.70
if there was a decision, you
could say "a fork in the road"
00:51:46.74\00:51:49.34
something that
you're looking at,
00:51:49.37\00:51:50.71
He always chose, "I'm
going to honor my Father. "
00:51:50.74\00:51:52.94
Panel: Amen.
00:51:52.97\00:51:54.31
Jill: I'm going
to obey my Father...
00:51:54.34\00:51:55.81
I'm going to do
what my Father wants
00:51:55.84\00:51:58.01
as opposed to
maybe what I want myself.
00:51:58.05\00:52:00.12
Finally, Number 4:
Jesus chose to allow suffering
00:52:00.15\00:52:04.79
to perfect Him.
00:52:04.82\00:52:06.76
Hebrews 5 verse 8,
"Though He was a Son,
00:52:06.79\00:52:11.33
yet He learned obedience through
the things which He suffered. "
00:52:11.36\00:52:17.07
Have you ever noticed
that trials drive us to God
00:52:17.10\00:52:20.47
or they might drive
you away from God...
00:52:20.50\00:52:23.00
when you go through
a difficult experience.
00:52:23.04\00:52:25.37
I remember, someone
who works here at 3ABN...
00:52:25.41\00:52:27.81
I'll call him "Sam"
that's not his real name...
00:52:27.84\00:52:30.21
he broke his hip...
went in the hospital...
00:52:30.25\00:52:32.61
Greg and I went
to go visit him...
00:52:32.65\00:52:33.98
we went to encourage him
00:52:34.02\00:52:35.58
because he is going
through a hard time...
00:52:35.62\00:52:37.39
he just is having
surgery... he's in pain...
00:52:37.42\00:52:39.15
he encouraged us
00:52:39.19\00:52:40.72
and I came back to 3ABN
and I shared with someone,
00:52:40.76\00:52:43.76
"I can't
believe... we went to see Sam
00:52:43.79\00:52:46.03
and he encouraged us... "
00:52:46.06\00:52:47.40
and the person said,
00:52:47.43\00:52:48.76
"Oh, that's Sam,
he's always like that,
00:52:48.80\00:52:50.77
he's just a cheerful person. "
00:52:50.80\00:52:52.53
No, he chose to allow suffering
to perfect his character
00:52:52.60\00:52:57.54
and that trial... he turned
to God instead of away from God.
00:52:57.57\00:53:02.48
You know, trials
patiently endured...
00:53:02.51\00:53:05.01
they produce righteousness
in the life of the believer.
00:53:05.05\00:53:08.42
Hebrews 12 verse 11,
00:53:08.45\00:53:10.25
"Now no
chastening... " or no trial...
00:53:10.29\00:53:12.49
"for the present...
it's not joyful but painful:
00:53:12.52\00:53:16.32
nevertheless afterward it
yields the peaceable fruit
00:53:16.36\00:53:20.10
of righteousness
00:53:20.13\00:53:21.53
to those who
are trained by it. "
00:53:21.56\00:53:23.97
Trials produce righteousness...
00:53:24.00\00:53:26.30
trials produce character
in the life of the believer.
00:53:26.33\00:53:30.41
Romans 5 verses 3 and 4,
00:53:30.44\00:53:32.74
"We glory in tribulation... "
00:53:32.77\00:53:35.58
now, in the Greek there
are two words for this pressure
00:53:35.61\00:53:39.01
there's an internal and
an external tribulation,
00:53:39.05\00:53:41.82
this is the internal
pressure... flips us...
00:53:41.85\00:53:44.59
we glory when we go
through internal tribulation...
00:53:44.62\00:53:47.59
when we go
through trials... why?
00:53:47.62\00:53:50.06
because it produces perseverance
00:53:50.09\00:53:52.73
and perseverance
produces character
00:53:52.76\00:53:55.36
and character produces hope.
00:53:55.40\00:53:57.70
Trials produce
patience and maturity
00:53:57.73\00:54:00.67
in the life of the believer.
00:54:00.74\00:54:02.94
Last Scripture... 1st John 2:6,
00:54:02.97\00:54:05.37
"He who says he abides in Him
00:54:05.41\00:54:07.68
ought himself also to
walk even as He walked. "
00:54:07.71\00:54:12.05
You and I are called
00:54:12.08\00:54:13.52
to follow the example
of the Lord Jesus Christ
00:54:13.55\00:54:16.45
and do that walk of obedience...
perfect submission...
00:54:16.48\00:54:20.36
perfect dependence
on our Father in heaven.
00:54:20.39\00:54:22.82
Panel: Hmmm... praise the Lord.
00:54:22.86\00:54:24.19
Shelley: Well, look at
that each and every one,
00:54:24.23\00:54:25.56
before we have
a closing comment,
00:54:25.59\00:54:27.33
it just occurred to me...
00:54:27.40\00:54:28.73
I'd like to explain
this to our audience at home,
00:54:28.76\00:54:31.33
when you are reading the Bible,
00:54:31.37\00:54:33.87
when you see the word "law"
you have to look in context
00:54:33.90\00:54:37.97
to know what it's talking about,
00:54:38.01\00:54:39.74
if it says, "The law
and the prophets... "
00:54:39.77\00:54:42.08
it's talking about
the whole Old Testament.
00:54:42.11\00:54:44.38
If it says, "The Book of Moses"
00:54:44.41\00:54:47.38
it's the... or
the Book of the Law,
00:54:47.42\00:54:50.32
it's talking... excuse me...
00:54:50.35\00:54:52.19
if it says "The Law of Moses,"
00:54:52.22\00:54:53.96
it's talking about
the first five books.
00:54:53.99\00:54:56.29
if it says, "The Book of Law,"
00:54:56.32\00:54:58.43
it's talking about Deuteronomy
00:54:58.49\00:55:00.53
and then sometimes
"law" is used to mean
00:55:00.56\00:55:04.00
the Ten Commandments
00:55:04.03\00:55:05.57
because that is
God's law of love,
00:55:05.60\00:55:07.80
the Book of Galatians...
00:55:07.84\00:55:09.90
people have said to
me as Galatians 3:24 says
00:55:09.94\00:55:16.71
that the law was our tutor
00:55:16.75\00:55:18.58
but now, it was
to bring us to Christ
00:55:18.61\00:55:21.72
but now that it has come...
00:55:21.75\00:55:25.05
He has come... we
no longer need a tutor,
00:55:25.09\00:55:27.72
they'll say,
"See, that's the law"
00:55:27.76\00:55:30.33
but right there in the context,
00:55:30.36\00:55:32.83
we know he's talking
about the Book of the Law
00:55:32.86\00:55:35.63
because just a few
Scriptures earlier,
00:55:35.66\00:55:37.90
he's talking about
the book of Deuteronomy...
00:55:37.93\00:55:41.20
that's what Galatians is about.
00:55:41.24\00:55:44.47
Colossians 2:14
you mentioned says,
00:55:44.51\00:55:47.68
"Having wiped out the
handwriting of requirements
00:55:47.71\00:55:52.71
that was against us,
00:55:52.75\00:55:54.48
He took it and
nailed it to the cross. "
00:55:54.52\00:55:58.05
Well, we're looking
here, Deuteronomy 31:26,
00:55:58.09\00:56:01.96
there were curses
in the Book of the Law.
00:56:01.99\00:56:05.83
These were on the
outside of the Ark
00:56:05.86\00:56:09.16
as a witness against the people.
00:56:09.20\00:56:12.43
If you read the
context, you'll understand...
00:56:12.47\00:56:15.37
I've taken... quick... we'll
go around for a quick comment.
00:56:15.40\00:56:19.17
Terry: Very quick.
00:56:19.24\00:56:20.58
I just want to say, "Friends,
don't let anybody tell you
00:56:20.61\00:56:22.68
that the Ten Commandments
have been done away with
00:56:22.71\00:56:24.75
or nailed to the cross
00:56:24.78\00:56:26.38
1st John chapter
2 verses 3, 4 and 5,
00:56:26.41\00:56:28.82
"And hereby we do
know that we know Him,
00:56:28.85\00:56:31.89
if we keep His Commandments.
00:56:31.92\00:56:33.42
He that saith, 'I know Him,
00:56:33.46\00:56:34.86
and not keepeth His
Commandments, is a liar,
00:56:34.92\00:56:36.86
and the truth is not in him.
00:56:36.89\00:56:38.23
But whoso keepeth His word,
00:56:38.33\00:56:40.76
in him verily is the
love of God perfected:
00:56:40.80\00:56:44.07
hereby we know
that we are in Him. "
00:56:44.10\00:56:47.60
Danny: We're talking
about Christian education
00:56:47.64\00:56:49.70
and the lesson said that as
part of Christian education,
00:56:49.74\00:56:53.51
we need to keep God's
law as a central component
00:56:53.54\00:56:56.08
of what it
means to live by faith
00:56:56.11\00:56:58.25
and trusting in God's grace.
00:56:58.28\00:57:00.08
Ryan: Amen, we do not
keep the commandments of God
00:57:00.12\00:57:03.82
to be prosperous, my Friends,
00:57:03.85\00:57:05.49
we keep the Commandments of God
00:57:05.52\00:57:07.39
because we love Him, John 14:15,
00:57:07.42\00:57:09.22
"If you love Me,
keep My commandments. "
00:57:09.26\00:57:11.06
Shelley: Amen.
00:57:11.09\00:57:12.46
Jill: Christ is
our perfect example
00:57:12.49\00:57:13.96
and I love John 15,
the vine attached...
00:57:14.00\00:57:16.70
where the branch is
attached to the vine.
00:57:16.73\00:57:19.37
We receive our sustenance and
nourishment from the Lord Jesus.
00:57:19.40\00:57:22.74
Shelley: Amen,
thank you all so much
00:57:22.77\00:57:25.04
and I just remember
this that the New Covenant
00:57:25.07\00:57:28.64
God says in
Hebrews 8:8 through 10,
00:57:28.68\00:57:31.45
"I'm going to write
My law in your heart. "
00:57:31.48\00:57:35.78
Hallelujah.. and
obedience is not legalism,
00:57:35.82\00:57:40.06
obedience is love.
00:57:40.09\00:57:42.32
It's just an expression of
our love and loyalty to God.
00:57:42.36\00:57:47.46
These Ten
Commandments are ten promises
00:57:47.50\00:57:51.27
of what He will do in each
and every one of our lives,
00:57:51.30\00:57:56.27
and love is the
fulfillment of God's law.
00:57:56.30\00:58:00.44
We'll see you
next time, bye bye.
00:58:00.48\00:58:03.35
