WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.560 Good evening. It's good to see you this evening. Would you turn with me in your 00:04.560 --> 00:11.760 Bibles to Matthew chapter 3, please. The book of Matthew chapter 3. And as we 00:11.760 --> 00:15.760 always do, we're gonna read the entire chapter beginning in verse 1. Please read 00:15.760 --> 00:24.760 along silently with me. Matthew chapter 3. And in, that's right, chapter 3. In 00:24.800 --> 00:29.440 Matthew chapter 3, the Bible reads, In those days came John the Baptist, 00:29.440 --> 00:34.960 preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of 00:34.960 --> 00:38.800 heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet, Isaiah, 00:38.800 --> 00:43.120 saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the 00:43.120 --> 00:48.360 Lord, make his paths straight. And the same John had his raiment of camel's 00:48.360 --> 00:52.760 hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and his meat was locusts and wild 00:52.760 --> 00:59.320 honey. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round 00:59.320 --> 01:05.280 about Jordan, and were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. But when 01:05.280 --> 01:09.640 he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said 01:09.640 --> 01:14.640 unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath 01:14.640 --> 01:20.400 to come? Bring therefore fruits, meat for repentance. And think not to stay within 01:20.560 --> 01:25.760 yourselves. We have Abraham to our father, for I say unto you that God is able of 01:25.760 --> 01:30.640 these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid 01:30.640 --> 01:35.400 unto the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good 01:35.400 --> 01:41.560 fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water 01:41.560 --> 01:47.680 unto repentance, but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am 01:47.680 --> 01:53.920 not worthy to bear. He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire, whose 01:53.920 --> 01:59.000 fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor and gather his wheat 01:59.000 --> 02:05.000 into the garner, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Then cometh 02:05.000 --> 02:10.280 Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John to be baptized of him. But John forbade 02:10.280 --> 02:15.840 him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and cometh thou to me? And Jesus 02:15.840 --> 02:21.600 answering said unto him, suffer it so to be now, for thus it be cometh us to 02:21.600 --> 02:26.000 fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus when he was 02:26.000 --> 02:31.040 baptized went up straightway out of the water, and lo the heavens were opened 02:31.040 --> 02:36.440 unto him. And he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon 02:36.440 --> 02:42.880 him, and lo a voice from heaven saying, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well 02:42.960 --> 02:43.680 pleased. 02:45.080 --> 02:46.800 Uh, brother, Jesse, would you pray for us? 02:59.080 --> 02:59.480 I'm in. 03:08.680 --> 03:10.720 Uh, Rollins Mike, we're gonna get cool. 03:13.680 --> 03:17.800 Thanks, Pastor Thompson. Thank you so much for letting me preach tonight, and I hope 03:17.800 --> 03:22.760 I do a good job atify the church. And I'm not preaching on John the Baptist, but 03:22.760 --> 03:30.960 he's a character that is, uh, he fits the narrative fairly well. Um, he's a 03:30.960 --> 03:36.800 manly guy. He likes to wear camel hair, eat locusts, you know, eat raw honey. You 03:36.800 --> 03:41.720 know, raw honey would do you guys a lot, a lot good. So, um, if we go to our First 03:41.720 --> 03:49.280 Kings, chapter two, First Kings, chapter two, I'm gonna pray real quick before we 03:49.280 --> 03:52.680 start. And, uh, dear Lord, thank you so much for this wonderful day, God, fill me 03:52.680 --> 03:58.040 with boldness and give me wisdom to preach. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Um, 03:58.480 --> 04:03.280 look at verse one. Now the days of David drew nigh, and he should die, that he 04:03.280 --> 04:10.440 should die. And he charged Solomon his son, saying, I go the way of all the 04:10.440 --> 04:16.400 earth, be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man. So the title of my 04:16.400 --> 04:21.280 sermon is, um, show thyself a man. And this is actually where I figured out 04:21.280 --> 04:26.680 that, uh, David was a Russian because the last words is he's dying and he's 04:26.680 --> 04:33.280 grabbing his son and he's like, be strong, you know. Uh, that wasn't that 04:33.280 --> 04:34.080 funny, never mind. 04:34.080 --> 04:42.280 Um, you know, it's time to bring back some toxic masculinity to this country, 04:42.280 --> 04:47.920 you know. There's not a lot of manly men anymore, there's just not. Most of guys 04:47.920 --> 04:53.680 use handshakes, they're pretty soft, kind of clammy. And he seems like the 04:53.680 --> 04:58.160 average guy is a weak man, he's soft, he's effeminate. And, uh, I don't know if 04:58.160 --> 05:02.920 you know this man, but it's a sin for you to act like a woman if you're a man. 05:03.760 --> 05:06.760 You know, you don't believe me, go to 1 Corinthians chapter 6. 05:15.520 --> 05:18.040 1 Corinthians 6, look at verse number 9. 05:19.960 --> 05:24.640 Know ye that not the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God, be not 05:24.640 --> 05:30.560 deceived, neither fornicators nor adulters, nor effeminate, nor abusers of 05:30.560 --> 05:33.800 themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor 05:34.160 --> 05:39.680 revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. Now, we know that 05:39.680 --> 05:43.600 this is just a broad list of sins and we know that once you're saved, you're no 05:43.600 --> 05:48.280 longer effeminate, it's just your flesh. You know, if you're effeminate at this 05:48.280 --> 05:54.640 point, the real you, you're manly, but your carnal self, you're effeminate and 05:54.640 --> 05:55.800 that's what you got to deal with. 05:55.800 --> 06:03.160 Did you know that men are created in the image of God? God's manly, he's strong. 06:04.200 --> 06:08.480 You know, if you go to Genesis chapter 1, that's where God creates Adam. 06:09.720 --> 06:18.080 And if you look at verse 27, verse 27, so God created man in his own image. 06:18.120 --> 06:19.760 In the image created he, him. 06:20.320 --> 06:22.200 Male and female created he, them. 06:22.240 --> 06:23.360 There's a separation there. 06:23.760 --> 06:26.000 God did not create woman in God's image. 06:26.120 --> 06:27.880 Women are not created in God's image. 06:29.080 --> 06:29.840 Only men are. 06:30.200 --> 06:34.280 You know, there's people that believe that God is an image of man and woman, but 06:34.280 --> 06:35.640 that's actually blasphemy. 06:36.760 --> 06:41.280 You know, if you, that's actually a Jewish doctrine, a Jewish fable, they call it 06:41.280 --> 06:45.240 Shekinah, if you ever heard of Shekinah glory, that's a Jewish fable, that's a 06:45.240 --> 06:46.280 blasphemous statement. 06:46.720 --> 06:50.600 Who else believes in a man and woman features in God? 06:50.600 --> 06:52.680 It's Satanists. 06:52.760 --> 06:53.680 They worship Bethlehem. 06:54.120 --> 06:57.360 Bethlehem is half man, half woman, part goat. 06:58.520 --> 07:02.520 And, you know, trannies, they try to mix man and woman. 07:03.560 --> 07:07.960 So don't try to mix this crap with God. 07:08.280 --> 07:11.920 You know, I've had this debate with a girl I know who's a family member who 07:11.920 --> 07:15.800 debated that saying in this passage, it teaches that man and woman are created 07:15.800 --> 07:17.160 in God's image, which is false. 07:18.120 --> 07:32.920 You know, if you go to 1 Corinthians 11, 1 Corinthians 11, look at verse 3. 07:35.360 --> 07:38.640 But I would have, you know, that the head of every man is Christ and the head of 07:38.640 --> 07:41.160 the woman is the man and the head of Christ is God. 07:42.080 --> 07:47.120 You know, this is a, in this passage, in chapter 11, there's a lot of good truths 07:47.120 --> 07:47.520 in here. 07:49.520 --> 07:56.160 You know, if you, you know, ladies, whether you, you don't have the manliest 07:56.160 --> 07:59.360 husband, maybe he's not the manliest man in the world, he's still more manlier 07:59.360 --> 07:59.800 than you. 08:01.520 --> 08:04.720 And so he's the man and he's still your head. 08:05.200 --> 08:08.160 Doesn't matter how manly your husband is, there's no excuses there. 08:08.840 --> 08:09.600 He's still your head. 08:09.840 --> 08:11.040 Look at verse 4. 08:12.040 --> 08:15.720 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered dishonoreth his head. 08:16.560 --> 08:19.560 And we know if you keep reading what it's talking about, the covering is the hair. 08:19.880 --> 08:22.080 We all know that long hair is a covering. 08:22.440 --> 08:24.880 If you're a man, if you have long hair, it's effeminate. 08:25.800 --> 08:26.920 It's a shame to God. 08:26.920 --> 08:30.520 Even if you pray or preach, if you have long hair, it's a shame to God because 08:30.520 --> 08:31.160 you're effeminate. 08:31.520 --> 08:33.600 God does not want men to be effeminate. 08:35.640 --> 08:37.680 Brother Ramon, you're not going to have that issue. 08:39.280 --> 08:41.760 You're probably the only one in the church who can't grow long hair. 08:42.040 --> 08:45.400 So everyone else beware. 08:46.720 --> 08:48.840 Take heed, lest ye fall. 08:49.640 --> 08:50.960 You know, look at verse 5. 08:51.520 --> 08:55.160 But every woman that prayeth or prophesied with her hair uncovered dishonoreth her 08:55.160 --> 08:55.520 head. 08:56.200 --> 08:59.000 For that is even all of one as if she were shaving. 09:00.000 --> 09:02.760 So ladies, if you have short hair, it's a shame. 09:02.800 --> 09:04.080 You embarrass your husband. 09:04.840 --> 09:05.520 It's embarrassing. 09:07.880 --> 09:11.320 It's if you have a short haircut, might as well shave your head. 09:11.320 --> 09:12.120 There's no difference. 09:13.160 --> 09:15.240 You know, look at verse number 7. 09:15.760 --> 09:20.800 For the man of thee ought not to cover his head for as much as he is the image and 09:20.800 --> 09:21.720 the glory of God. 09:21.760 --> 09:23.200 But the woman is the glory of the man. 09:23.640 --> 09:27.440 The reason I went to this passage is to show you that man is created in God's image. 09:27.680 --> 09:29.680 Man is supposed to have short hair. 09:29.920 --> 09:32.280 And there's other characteristics of being a man. 09:32.320 --> 09:36.400 You know, go back to chapter 1 Kings chapter 2. 09:38.160 --> 09:42.920 When he says, and show thyself a man before he says, go thy way and all the earth, be 09:42.920 --> 09:45.120 thou strong therefore. 09:45.800 --> 09:50.560 You know, a good characteristics of a man is something that's not preached enough. 09:50.560 --> 09:51.880 I would say is being strong. 09:52.640 --> 09:55.200 Being physically strong is a manly thing to be. 09:56.000 --> 09:58.040 You know, like not everybody's going to be as strong. 09:58.440 --> 10:01.080 Not everybody's going to be the strongest person in the room. 10:01.920 --> 10:05.800 You know, if you're a small guy, you could still be extremely tough and strong. 10:06.640 --> 10:10.720 You know, if anybody watches UFC, there's a bunch of people here that watch UFC, but 10:10.720 --> 10:12.520 there's a there's a guy named Mighty Mouse. 10:13.240 --> 10:14.480 He goes by Mighty Mouse. 10:16.080 --> 10:18.280 I mean, if you're he's five foot two. 10:19.280 --> 10:21.200 He fought out one hundred twenty five pounds. 10:21.240 --> 10:26.640 And there's times where he did tournaments against heavyweights against 250 pounds, six 10:26.640 --> 10:28.320 foot two guys, and he would choke them out. 10:28.440 --> 10:32.920 So, you know, being small does not give you an excuse not to be manly. 10:32.920 --> 10:36.720 And being manly, you can it's you have to be physically strong. 10:36.760 --> 10:37.480 It's part of it. 10:38.120 --> 10:39.560 Being able to protect your family. 10:39.560 --> 10:40.600 It's part of being a man. 10:41.000 --> 10:42.040 You know, David was small. 10:42.040 --> 10:46.080 If you guys go to First Samuel 16. 10:59.480 --> 11:02.520 First Samuel 16, look at verse 10. 11:06.280 --> 11:09.520 And again, Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. 11:09.520 --> 11:12.160 And Samuel said unto Jesse, the Lord had not chosen these. 11:13.840 --> 11:19.000 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are he are here all thy children? 11:19.240 --> 11:22.760 And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and behold, he keepeth the sheep. 11:24.960 --> 11:31.120 And so David was so inconsiderate in Jesse's eyes that he didn't even bring him. 11:31.120 --> 11:37.440 So Samuel came here to pick the next king of Israel and Jesse didn't even consider him. 11:37.680 --> 11:39.200 Jesse didn't even consider him. 11:39.840 --> 11:40.960 He was a small man. 11:41.440 --> 11:49.000 He might've been a small man in Jesse's eyes, but if you go to First Samuel 17, flip 11:49.000 --> 11:52.520 the next page, or if you're on the same page, look at verse 34. 11:59.880 --> 12:01.280 17, 34. 12:01.280 --> 12:09.040 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father sheep, and there came a lion and a bear, 12:09.040 --> 12:12.280 and took a lamb out of the flock. 12:12.280 --> 12:15.320 And I went after him, and I smote him and delivered it out of his mouth. 12:15.320 --> 12:20.480 And when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard and smote him and slew him. 12:20.480 --> 12:29.280 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be one of them. 12:29.280 --> 12:32.000 So David was small, but he was a manly man. 12:32.000 --> 12:32.560 He was brave. 12:33.360 --> 12:48.240 If you go to Matthew chapter 10, look at verse 28. 12:49.760 --> 12:53.760 And fear not them which killed the body, or not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him which 12:53.760 --> 12:57.440 is able to destroy both the soul and the body in hell. 12:57.440 --> 12:59.840 So you're supposed to be courageous. 12:59.840 --> 13:01.360 You're not supposed to be fearful. 13:01.360 --> 13:02.640 You're supposed to be manly. 13:02.640 --> 13:03.600 You're supposed to be firm. 13:05.040 --> 13:06.480 David was not afraid of lions. 13:07.120 --> 13:08.320 He was not afraid of bears. 13:08.320 --> 13:13.120 He was not afraid of Goliath, and he was not a big, statured man, but yet he was strong. 13:14.480 --> 13:17.600 If we go to Joshua chapter 1, 13:27.440 --> 13:40.320 Joshua 1, look at verse number 6. 13:41.680 --> 13:46.800 Be strong and of a good courage, for unto this people shall thou divide the inheritance of 13:46.800 --> 13:49.760 the land which I swear unto their fathers and give them. 13:50.480 --> 13:54.960 If we go to Proverbs 24, all throughout the Bible it talks about being strong, 13:54.960 --> 14:00.800 about being courageous, and I would say it's something that's lacking in our country. 14:07.840 --> 14:14.960 Proverbs 24 verse 5, a wise man is strong, yea man of knowledge increases strength. 14:16.560 --> 14:17.760 There's wisdom and strength. 14:18.720 --> 14:20.080 Physical strength is a good thing. 14:20.080 --> 14:21.680 It's a manly thing. 14:21.680 --> 14:24.320 It's an attribute that's very good to have. 14:25.360 --> 14:29.600 The Bible speaks very highly of strength of men, and it's a good thing to have. 14:31.040 --> 14:34.800 Well, you know, there's a lot of old guys at our church, and you guys might say, well, 14:35.680 --> 14:37.680 so the small guys don't have an excuse. 14:37.680 --> 14:39.760 Well, how about the old guys go to Deuteronomy. 14:45.040 --> 14:47.360 Deuteronomy 34, look at verse number 7. 14:48.480 --> 14:51.200 And Moses was 120 years old when he died. 14:51.760 --> 14:55.600 His eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. 14:56.720 --> 14:58.800 You know, Moses died being strong. 14:58.800 --> 15:02.400 He was 120 years old, and he didn't lose any of his strength in his old age. 15:04.720 --> 15:08.080 If you join a martial art, if you go like join jujitsu, 15:08.080 --> 15:11.920 you'll see a lot of gray-haired guys that put up a fight. 15:14.720 --> 15:17.360 I mean, they know what they're doing, and they're strong. 15:17.360 --> 15:21.280 Part of the sermon is to motivate you guys to start working out. 15:22.320 --> 15:23.920 I think it's an important characteristic. 15:23.920 --> 15:26.320 There's a lot of things that happen when you work out. 15:26.320 --> 15:27.120 It's a hard thing. 15:27.120 --> 15:28.160 It's enduring. 15:28.160 --> 15:30.000 It's a difficult thing. 15:30.000 --> 15:33.680 It's hard to go work out. 15:33.680 --> 15:34.400 It is. 15:34.400 --> 15:35.600 We all have families. 15:36.880 --> 15:38.640 I know what you guys are thinking. 15:38.640 --> 15:44.640 Everybody kind of goes to, you know, it's, what's the verse that everybody goes to? 15:45.440 --> 15:46.880 What's the verse that everybody goes to? 15:46.880 --> 15:48.240 1 Timothy 4, 8. 15:54.880 --> 15:56.080 1 Timothy 4, 8. 15:57.360 --> 16:02.560 For bodily exercise profiteth little, but godliness is profitable unto all things. 16:02.560 --> 16:07.120 Having a promise of the life now is, and of that which is to come. 16:07.120 --> 16:09.680 Now, yeah, I understand that if you're putting away, 16:09.680 --> 16:13.600 if you're putting the gym or working out above God and above godliness, 16:14.400 --> 16:18.800 absolutely bodily exercise profiteth little compared to that. 16:18.800 --> 16:24.080 But like if you're skipping the gym to go eat out, you know, 16:25.680 --> 16:27.120 or that's even less profitable. 16:28.400 --> 16:33.120 You know, being unhealthy and weak is even less profitable than being, having bodily exercise. 16:36.400 --> 16:42.240 You know, obviously everyone's got families, and if you got to work, you got to work, 16:42.240 --> 16:44.240 and if you got to provide, you got to provide. 16:44.240 --> 16:46.880 If you got church, if you got spiritual things, if you got soulening, 16:46.880 --> 16:49.840 you should put that above, obviously above working out. 16:49.840 --> 16:53.600 But back when this is written, they didn't have cars. 16:53.600 --> 16:54.960 They didn't have Uber Eats. 16:54.960 --> 16:57.040 You know, they worked manual labor. 16:57.040 --> 17:00.080 Right now, we live in like the movie like Wall-E. 17:00.080 --> 17:04.000 I don't know if you guys ever seen Wall-E, but what happened to Wall-E is this world, 17:04.000 --> 17:07.600 it became, I don't know, they just really screwed up planet Earth, 17:07.600 --> 17:10.800 whether there was a nuclear war or they just destroyed it with trash. 17:11.760 --> 17:14.720 But they had to create a spaceship and everyone had to live there. 17:14.720 --> 17:17.760 And everybody was just a fatty with food getting brought to them, 17:17.760 --> 17:18.880 and nobody did anything. 17:18.880 --> 17:19.920 There was no exercise. 17:19.920 --> 17:20.640 There was no work. 17:24.080 --> 17:25.600 You know, weak men are dangerous men. 17:26.960 --> 17:28.160 They're the ones that backstab. 17:32.720 --> 17:38.480 You look at First Kings, back to First Kings in chapter two. 17:38.960 --> 17:43.760 So after he said, show thyself a man, David says to Solomon, 17:43.760 --> 17:48.480 and keep the charge of thy Lord thy God and walk in his ways to keep his statues 17:48.480 --> 17:52.080 and his commandments and his judgments and his testimonies, 17:52.080 --> 17:56.640 as it is written in the law of Moses, and thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest. 17:56.640 --> 18:01.120 And whatsoever thou truly, thou turnest thyself, 18:01.840 --> 18:05.840 that the Lord may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, 18:05.840 --> 18:10.960 If thy children take he to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and all 18:10.960 --> 18:18.240 their soul, there shall not fail thee, said he, a man of the throne of Israel. 18:18.240 --> 18:22.400 Now, if you're a man in here and you're married, that you have a throne of Israel. 18:22.400 --> 18:24.240 Israel is your little family. 18:25.120 --> 18:27.200 What's the basic saying here? 18:27.200 --> 18:32.080 The primary interpretation of verse four, it's talking about physically. 18:32.080 --> 18:34.080 There's a nation Israel, 18:34.080 --> 18:39.120 there's a nation Israel, and if you're going to keep God's commandments, 18:39.120 --> 18:42.080 God's not going to overthrow it, you're going to keep ruling. 18:42.080 --> 18:43.280 Israel's going to be fine. 18:43.840 --> 18:48.240 But we're going to spiritualize this verse, and I'm talking about Israel being your family 18:48.240 --> 18:49.920 and the throne, you being the king. 18:50.560 --> 18:53.920 And men are failing their throne of their Israel. 18:57.600 --> 19:00.640 It's more manly than pushups and going to the gym, it's ruling your house. 19:01.520 --> 19:02.400 That's more manly. 19:03.360 --> 19:07.600 You know, we have sissy men where men are submitting to their wives. 19:09.280 --> 19:12.800 Verse three says keep his statues and his commandments. 19:14.400 --> 19:17.520 If you want to keep the throne of Israel, if you want to be the king of the house, 19:18.480 --> 19:21.440 you got to keep his statues, go to Genesis chapter three. 19:22.880 --> 19:25.920 There's an early commandment that's given us men. 19:26.720 --> 19:28.960 In Genesis chapter three, look at verse 16. 19:29.920 --> 19:33.280 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow. 19:34.800 --> 19:35.920 Sorry, that's not for men. 19:38.640 --> 19:43.200 And sorrow that shall bring forth children, and thy desire shall be unto thy husband, 19:44.160 --> 19:45.680 and he shall rule over thee. 19:46.320 --> 19:49.920 So from the very beginning, God commands men to rule over their wives. 19:52.400 --> 19:57.760 David was telling his son, if you want him to keep the next generation, to keep the throne, 19:57.840 --> 19:59.120 you got to keep God's commandments. 20:00.080 --> 20:06.480 It's important that we raise up our sons to teach them to keep their throne of their own Israel. 20:07.280 --> 20:09.760 One day our sons are going to have kids, hopefully. 20:09.760 --> 20:11.440 I hope my son gets married one day. 20:12.480 --> 20:14.640 And I want my son to rule his house. 20:14.640 --> 20:18.320 I don't want him to submit to his wife for one second. 20:21.040 --> 20:26.720 We need to teach our sons to rule on the throne, to tell them to keep the commandments and to rule. 20:27.920 --> 20:29.440 David was not scared of lions. 20:29.440 --> 20:30.720 He was not scared of bears. 20:30.720 --> 20:32.000 He was not scared of Goliath. 20:32.000 --> 20:36.480 He was not scared of war, nor was he scared of his wives. 20:38.320 --> 20:42.000 It seems like men are scared of all of that, especially their wives. 20:42.000 --> 20:46.880 I've never seen men with a bear unless you see Russian videos and there's men with bears. 20:48.240 --> 20:50.000 Lions, not very often. 20:53.200 --> 20:54.800 I see a lot of men scared of their wives. 20:55.200 --> 20:57.440 You guys laugh, but it's like every other man. 20:57.440 --> 20:58.240 I'm a contractor. 20:58.240 --> 21:01.600 I go, I'm at a different man's house every day. 21:01.600 --> 21:08.560 And my goodness, the things you see, you actually hear men call their wives boss. 21:08.560 --> 21:09.520 I got to ask the boss. 21:11.120 --> 21:11.920 That's a shame. 21:12.880 --> 21:15.440 You're not going to hear that out of my mouth, not in my house. 21:18.480 --> 21:22.320 I go to 2 Samuel chapter 6. 21:24.800 --> 21:32.880 Man, you guys got to understand, you guys are stronger than your wives. 21:34.400 --> 21:37.200 She can't do much damage, so don't be too scared. 21:44.320 --> 21:47.200 Sometimes both of you guys can be stubborn, but she's the weaker vessel. 21:47.200 --> 21:48.160 She's going to crack first. 21:51.040 --> 21:53.120 You guys got to put some Bible in perspective. 21:54.800 --> 22:00.480 2 Samuel, look at chapter 6. 22:01.120 --> 22:02.080 Look at verse 20. 22:03.040 --> 22:08.000 Now, this is, and David returned to bless his household in Michael. 22:08.000 --> 22:10.160 The daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, 22:10.160 --> 22:12.480 How glorious was the king of Israel today! 22:12.480 --> 22:16.880 And uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants in one of the vain, 22:16.880 --> 22:19.440 fellows shamelessly uncovered himself. 22:19.520 --> 22:25.040 David said unto Michael, It was before the Lord which chose me, before thy father, 22:25.040 --> 22:28.240 before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people. 22:28.240 --> 22:31.520 And Lord, over Israel therefore will I play before the Lord. 22:32.160 --> 22:41.120 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be based in my own sight. 22:41.120 --> 22:45.840 And of the maid servants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I had honor. 22:45.840 --> 22:49.680 Therefore Michael the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death. 22:51.360 --> 22:52.880 So David had a great victory. 22:52.880 --> 22:56.400 He got the Ark of the Covenant back and he was happy dancing. 22:56.400 --> 23:01.760 His wife came and she party pooped, nagged, disrespected him, accused David. 23:01.760 --> 23:02.880 And then David rebuked her. 23:03.520 --> 23:04.880 David went a little bit far. 23:05.760 --> 23:09.520 I doubt David would do that if he was like the average man that had one wife. 23:10.480 --> 23:12.000 He would probably want to get her pregnant. 23:12.000 --> 23:17.120 David rebuked his wife. 23:17.840 --> 23:19.840 Now I believe he did go a little far here. 23:19.840 --> 23:21.040 He's not supposed to do that. 23:21.040 --> 23:23.200 But you know, at least he rebuked his wife. 23:23.200 --> 23:25.040 At least he put his wife in check. 23:26.240 --> 23:29.760 Look, hard preaching and hard sayings are not just for men. 23:29.760 --> 23:31.840 They're for women and children as well. 23:31.840 --> 23:33.200 All scripture is profitable. 23:34.400 --> 23:38.480 There's a time to rebuke, reprove, exhort. 23:38.480 --> 23:40.560 And it's not just during preaching. 23:40.560 --> 23:42.000 It's to your wives and your kids. 23:42.000 --> 23:44.640 You know, man, you guys should be able to rebuke your wives. 23:45.600 --> 23:47.680 You know, I work as a contractor. 23:47.680 --> 23:50.160 So I work with my hands all the time. 23:50.160 --> 23:53.200 I have earbuds in whether I'm on the phone, listening to podcasts. 23:53.200 --> 23:55.840 Or I listen to a lot of Pastor Anderson's sermons. 23:55.840 --> 23:57.200 So I hear a lot of hard preaching. 23:58.240 --> 24:01.120 My wife doesn't get the ability to listen to sermons. 24:01.120 --> 24:02.880 So she gets her hard preaching from me. 24:02.880 --> 24:05.920 You know, that's where she gets all her rebukes and reproves from. 24:06.560 --> 24:08.320 You know, the Bible says to love our wives. 24:08.320 --> 24:10.400 Does Christ love the church and gave himself for us? 24:11.280 --> 24:15.600 Or, and if you keep reading, it talks about how washing them with the word. 24:18.400 --> 24:20.560 You know, it's important, men, that we correct our wives. 24:21.120 --> 24:26.240 You know, men, if every man acted and put their wives in their place, 24:31.760 --> 24:33.520 it'd be a better, it would be a better world. 24:33.520 --> 24:38.320 That would give other families structure. 24:38.320 --> 24:42.080 Did you know that if you rebuke your wives, it actually helps other families as well? 24:43.840 --> 24:47.440 It'd make other women and other wives more obedient if you just man up and 24:47.440 --> 24:50.000 actually start rebuking your wives, if you start correcting them. 24:52.000 --> 24:55.120 If you want to go to Esther chapter one, you guys don't believe me. 24:55.120 --> 24:57.120 Let's open to Esther chapter one. 25:03.520 --> 25:15.440 Look at verse, verse one. 25:17.040 --> 25:20.160 Now I came to pass on the days of Assyrias. 25:20.160 --> 25:23.920 This is the king Assyrias, which reigned from India, even through Ethiopia, 25:23.920 --> 25:25.920 over a hundred and seven and twenty provinces. 25:26.480 --> 25:29.040 So this is a king that's reigning over a lot of land. 25:29.040 --> 25:33.440 And that in those days that King Assyrias sat on the throne of the kingdom, 25:33.440 --> 25:37.600 which was in Shushan, the palace, the third year of his reign, 25:37.600 --> 25:41.680 he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants and the power of Persia 25:41.680 --> 25:45.840 and media and the nobles and the princes of the provinces being before him. 25:45.840 --> 25:50.960 And when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty, 25:51.840 --> 25:56.880 many days, even a hundred and four score days, when these days were expired, 25:56.880 --> 26:01.840 the king made a feast unto all the people and there was a present in Shushan, 26:01.840 --> 26:06.400 a palace both great unto a small seven days and the court gathered 26:07.040 --> 26:08.080 of the king's palace. 26:08.080 --> 26:09.360 If you skip to verse ten. 26:10.080 --> 26:12.400 So this king is thrown a really large party. 26:13.600 --> 26:17.680 And on the seventh day, I don't know if you've ever had a seven day party. 26:17.680 --> 26:22.880 I've never had a seven day party, but this is a large party. 26:22.880 --> 26:29.200 And when you're done with all the other things, people are asking him to show off his wife. 26:30.240 --> 26:34.240 On the seventh day, the heart of the king was merry with wine. 26:34.240 --> 26:42.640 He commanded Mehum, Bista, Habrona, Bitha, Abaktha, Zethar and Karkas 26:43.680 --> 26:48.240 in the seven chamber lanes that served in the presence of Assyrias the king 26:48.720 --> 26:55.200 to bring Vashti, the queen before king with the crown of royal, to show the people and the 26:55.200 --> 26:59.040 princess her beauty, for she was fair to look upon, look on. 27:00.720 --> 27:01.680 And this is what she did. 27:02.320 --> 27:05.120 But the queen Vashti refused to come to the king's commandment. 27:05.680 --> 27:12.720 But chamberlands therefore was the king very wroth and his anger burned in him. 27:12.720 --> 27:17.680 And the king said unto the wise man, which knew the times, for so was the king's manner toward 27:17.680 --> 27:19.280 all that knew on law and judgment. 27:22.560 --> 27:27.520 And next to him was Karshina, Sheethaar, Amatha, Tarshish, Merses, Marissa, 27:28.800 --> 27:33.520 Mimikun and the seven princes of Persia media, which saw the king's face 27:34.400 --> 27:38.000 which and which sat in the first in the kingdom. 27:39.440 --> 27:43.360 What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she had not 27:43.360 --> 27:47.680 performed the commandments of the king Assyrias by the chamberlands. 27:48.640 --> 27:55.120 And Memo come answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong 27:55.120 --> 28:01.120 in the king only, but also to all the princes and all the people that are all in the provinces of 28:01.120 --> 28:02.080 the king Assyrias. 28:03.360 --> 28:06.640 So here the king throws a party after seven days. 28:06.640 --> 28:10.400 He tries to have his queen come out and show her beauty to the kingdom. 28:10.400 --> 28:11.520 She refused. 28:11.520 --> 28:12.640 It's not much to ask. 28:12.640 --> 28:13.440 You get everything. 28:13.440 --> 28:14.640 Your royalty. 28:14.640 --> 28:17.360 You get treated with all love and care and nurture. 28:18.160 --> 28:21.840 And yet you don't want to listen to your husband's simple command. 28:24.640 --> 28:25.520 So you deny him. 28:26.080 --> 28:29.840 And so all these princes are now like, what are you going to do? 28:30.480 --> 28:31.360 What's in the law? 28:34.160 --> 28:36.880 And what's important about it, it's saying 28:37.760 --> 28:49.920 If you look at verse 16, it says, and Memo come answered before the king and the princes, 28:49.920 --> 28:56.160 Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to king only, but also to all the princes and all the people 28:56.800 --> 28:59.120 and all the provinces of the king Assyrias. 29:00.160 --> 29:02.320 So ladies, when you guys don't listen to your man, 29:03.760 --> 29:06.240 you guys are causing a lot of problems for other families. 29:06.240 --> 29:07.040 That's just the fact. 29:08.400 --> 29:22.480 You know, if you keep your finger here and you go to Titus 2, 29:22.720 --> 29:34.720 look at verse 5. 29:44.560 --> 29:46.000 You know, let's start at verse 4. 29:47.760 --> 29:51.920 They may teach the young woman to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 29:51.920 --> 29:56.720 to be discreet, chaste keepers at home, obedient to their own husbands, 29:56.720 --> 29:59.280 that the word of God may not blaspheme. 30:00.080 --> 30:05.520 You know, ladies, if you disobey the word, which is obeying your husband, 30:05.520 --> 30:08.320 it says the word of God will be blasphemed. 30:08.320 --> 30:10.960 You're going to cause other women to disobey their husbands. 30:10.960 --> 30:17.600 You know, women are kind of like, they like group mentality. 30:18.320 --> 30:22.560 You know, if they're around very respectful ladies, they start acting respectful. 30:22.560 --> 30:27.040 When they're around disrespectful ladies, they start acting more disrespectful. 30:28.960 --> 30:29.840 And that's what happens. 30:33.360 --> 30:34.320 If we go back to 30:37.200 --> 30:41.120 Esther, chapter 1, 30:48.560 --> 30:52.720 you know, men, if you don't rebuke your wife also, you're going to cause other women to pipe up too. 30:54.640 --> 30:55.600 It goes both ways. 30:56.320 --> 30:57.440 Look at verse 18. 31:17.600 --> 31:41.440 And the wife shall give to their husbands honor, both great and small, 31:42.000 --> 31:47.920 and saying, pleased the king and the princess and the king did according to the word of mumicum. 31:49.120 --> 31:57.040 And so they gave him advice and they said, you know, make it in law that you need to punish your wife. 31:59.120 --> 32:01.520 You know, as you can see, the king 32:02.400 --> 32:07.920 did rebuke his wife by doing that. 32:07.920 --> 32:11.600 And you know, you might say it's degrading. 32:12.560 --> 32:13.600 It's a degrading thing. 32:13.600 --> 32:14.320 I'll say amen. 32:15.360 --> 32:17.280 You know, it's a good thing to degrade sometimes. 32:17.280 --> 32:19.520 It's degrading your kids when you spank them. 32:20.400 --> 32:22.000 You know, you got to take off their pants. 32:22.000 --> 32:22.800 You got to spank them. 32:22.800 --> 32:23.840 That's a degrading thing. 32:24.400 --> 32:26.160 It's degrading to yell at your kids. 32:26.160 --> 32:28.400 It's degrading to take things away from your kids. 32:29.200 --> 32:32.640 And it was degrading when the king, this king took away 32:34.560 --> 32:37.360 Vashti's, what did he take away? 32:37.360 --> 32:41.040 He took away part of the kingdom, the estate. 32:42.560 --> 32:43.520 So he punished her. 32:44.880 --> 32:45.760 It's degrading. 32:46.800 --> 32:50.320 You know, if you get degraded by your husband, it's a good thing and you should correct it, 32:50.320 --> 32:51.200 fix it, move on. 32:52.720 --> 32:54.560 You know, King Aserahus was a man. 32:54.560 --> 32:58.080 He was man enough to take her estate and give it to another, you know, better than she. 32:59.040 --> 33:02.160 Look out verse, if you don't think that was right, look at verse 20. 33:02.800 --> 33:08.720 And in verse 20, there's a quotation throughout the first. 33:08.720 --> 33:12.000 It says, when the king's decree, which he shall make, shall be published throughout 33:12.640 --> 33:13.600 all the empire. 33:13.600 --> 33:16.480 And in quotation, it says, for it is great. 33:17.280 --> 33:19.840 Now, I think this is the narrator speaking, for it is great. 33:19.840 --> 33:23.120 And I think the Holy Spirit saying that it's a good thing that he punished his wife. 33:23.120 --> 33:32.560 You know, women should have a healthy fear of their husbands, you know, but they'll have a lot more healthy fear if you're a manly guy. 33:32.560 --> 33:35.040 If you're going to rebuke him, they'll fear you a little more. 33:45.200 --> 33:48.000 You know, this isn't just going to help the strong, rich husbands. 33:48.560 --> 33:50.240 It's going to help the small husbands. 33:51.040 --> 33:55.760 Because it says, wives shall give their husbands honor, both great and small. 33:56.480 --> 34:02.240 So men, you guys want more preaching like this, trust me, because you want not all of us are great men. 34:02.240 --> 34:03.040 Most of us aren't. 34:04.080 --> 34:06.640 You know, there's not a lot of millionaires in this room. 34:06.640 --> 34:09.520 I don't see any, unless Bill's hiding something. 34:11.040 --> 34:14.240 So kind of quiet, Bill. 34:14.240 --> 34:22.880 You know, somebody actually told my family that this verse is about divorce, and it's actually promoting divorce, this chapter. 34:22.880 --> 34:28.000 But what it's actually promoting is disciplining your wife if she's being rebellious. 34:29.120 --> 34:35.120 You know, men get strong. 34:35.120 --> 34:38.400 You got to protect your family, and not just protect your family. 34:38.400 --> 34:40.400 You got to be strong enough to protect your family. 34:40.400 --> 34:47.040 You know, be the rock. 34:47.040 --> 34:48.560 You know, rocks don't move. 34:48.560 --> 34:54.320 I forget what movie it was, but it was like the guy pushed somebody, and he's like, I'm the rock. 34:54.320 --> 34:56.560 And then he tried to push him back, and he said, rock, don't move. 34:56.560 --> 34:57.680 I tried to find it. 34:57.680 --> 34:59.440 I couldn't find where it's at. 34:59.440 --> 35:01.040 But little rocks move. 35:01.040 --> 35:02.720 You know, some of you guys are little rocks. 35:02.720 --> 35:05.920 But you know, here's your opportunity to become a bigger rock. 35:06.880 --> 35:10.400 I kind of looked up, well, just manly characteristics. 35:10.400 --> 35:12.320 What's something that makes a man masculine? 35:12.320 --> 35:18.400 You know, they say strong, being strong, strength, being protective, you know, brave, provider. 35:18.400 --> 35:19.920 You know, being a provider is a good thing. 35:19.920 --> 35:21.200 It's being manly. 35:21.200 --> 35:22.080 Resilience. 35:22.080 --> 35:23.840 You know, being tough is a good thing. 35:25.840 --> 35:29.520 Being tough through hard things, being unmovable. 35:30.320 --> 35:33.840 You know, when you're getting persecuted as a pastor and you don't move on your doctor, 35:33.840 --> 35:36.320 that's a good thing, and that's a very manly attribute. 35:36.320 --> 35:37.680 You know, Christ was tough. 35:38.800 --> 35:40.320 You know, Christ was beaten. 35:41.200 --> 35:41.840 He got hit. 35:42.560 --> 35:43.600 He got crucified. 35:43.600 --> 35:45.200 He never moved an inch. 35:46.080 --> 35:48.880 And he felt everything physically, even though Christ was God. 35:48.880 --> 35:49.680 He was also man. 35:49.680 --> 35:51.680 He felt everything as we would. 35:52.720 --> 35:56.560 You know, the guy in Judges 19, we read that story. 35:58.000 --> 35:58.880 Let's actually go there. 35:59.840 --> 36:00.800 Judges 19. 36:02.720 --> 36:03.760 Or is it Judges 16? 36:03.760 --> 36:04.960 No, it's Judges 19. 36:13.520 --> 36:17.200 So it came to pass in those days when there was no king in Israel and there was a certain 36:17.200 --> 36:22.640 Levite sojourning on the side of Mount Ephraim and took him a concubine out of Bethlehem, Judah. 36:22.640 --> 36:25.680 And his concubine played the whore against him and went away from, 36:26.000 --> 36:29.600 away from him onto the father's house to Bethlehem, Judah. 36:30.640 --> 36:35.600 And her husband arose and went after her to speak friendly unto her and to bring her back again. 36:36.560 --> 36:39.360 So what happened is this lady, this wife runs away. 36:40.080 --> 36:43.920 She stays with her dad and he comes there and he speaks friendly to her. 36:43.920 --> 36:45.840 He ended up being there for a few days. 36:45.840 --> 36:51.600 End of the day, how the story ends is his two sodomites came knocking on the door. 36:52.560 --> 36:54.160 This guy gave his wife up. 36:54.160 --> 36:58.160 This guy gave his wife up to get raped, killed by the sodomites. 36:59.520 --> 37:01.200 And then he starts crying about it. 37:02.000 --> 37:04.960 And then chops her up in pieces and gives it to every tribe. 37:06.000 --> 37:11.280 So, you know, this story could have ended a lot faster if this guy had a spine. 37:11.280 --> 37:15.920 If he went to the father's house and says, get in the car and we're going home. 37:15.920 --> 37:18.960 Instead, he can't, you know, there's nothing wrong with being, you know, 37:18.960 --> 37:21.680 speaking softly to your wives or loving your wife. 37:21.680 --> 37:23.840 But this sermon is not about being loving. 37:23.840 --> 37:26.400 This is about being strong, standing on your ground. 37:26.400 --> 37:27.920 Sometimes it's time to stand on your ground. 37:29.600 --> 37:36.880 And, you know, if you stayed on his ground and he told her, get in, we're leaving, 37:38.240 --> 37:39.520 maybe she would have been alive. 37:39.520 --> 37:40.720 You know, she would have been alive. 37:40.720 --> 37:41.200 That's the thing. 37:41.200 --> 37:43.120 He would have saved her life by rebuking her. 37:43.760 --> 37:46.240 You know, if we go to Mark chapter 8, 37:53.840 --> 38:04.640 Mark chapter 8, verse 31. 38:09.920 --> 38:14.720 And it began began to teach them as the Son of Man must suffer many things and 38:14.720 --> 38:18.160 rejected of the elders and of the chief priests and the scribes and be killed. 38:18.160 --> 38:20.880 And after three days rise again. 38:21.600 --> 38:24.400 So here's it's talking about Christ suffering and enduring. 38:24.400 --> 38:32.640 If you go to Matthew 26, Matthew 26, as men, we're supposed to endure hard things. 38:32.640 --> 38:34.800 We have, we're supposed to have long, hard work days. 38:34.800 --> 38:36.640 We're supposed to endure the hard things of life. 38:37.360 --> 38:40.880 We're supposed to carry the hardships of our families. 38:42.800 --> 38:46.160 Look at verse Matthew 26, look at 67. 38:46.720 --> 38:52.560 Then they had spit on his face and buffeted him and others smote him with the palms of their hands. 38:53.200 --> 38:58.160 And look at verse 20, chapter 27, look at verse 26. 39:02.640 --> 39:06.000 Then released Barbarus unto them and he had scourged Jesus. 39:06.000 --> 39:09.600 And when they had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. 39:10.160 --> 39:13.520 So I'm just going through these passages to show you that Jesus had endurance. 39:14.480 --> 39:19.200 He went through hard stuff and we as men created in God's image. 39:19.200 --> 39:21.280 We're supposed to be manly, masculine. 39:21.280 --> 39:23.200 We're supposed to endure the grind. 39:23.200 --> 39:25.280 We're supposed to work five, six days a week. 39:25.280 --> 39:29.840 Brother Sean was telling me how he's doing five, 10 hour days and working a 12 hour day. 39:30.800 --> 39:31.600 That's manly. 39:31.600 --> 39:33.520 That's a very hard thing to do. 39:33.520 --> 39:34.880 He's got how many kids you have? 39:36.000 --> 39:37.200 That's a lot of kids, brother. 39:38.720 --> 39:42.320 You know, back in the day, only a hundred years ago, you're just an average family. 39:42.320 --> 39:47.280 Now it's, you know, it's very important, man. 39:47.280 --> 39:48.720 We're supposed to endure hardship. 39:50.400 --> 39:56.880 Look, if you're going to cry over something as a man, like over family, sure. 39:56.880 --> 39:58.320 Over Christ, sure. 39:58.880 --> 40:02.960 But if you're ever going to cry over getting hurt, that's just sissy. 40:02.960 --> 40:03.920 It's faggity. 40:05.200 --> 40:06.960 It's super gay, honestly. 40:08.960 --> 40:10.560 You're not going to see tears. 40:11.440 --> 40:14.960 There's not a bone in my body I'm going to break and you're going to see tears. 40:16.240 --> 40:17.680 You know, it's borderline. 40:17.680 --> 40:22.720 If you're like in a car wreck and you might have to get some Tylenol, we might let that one slide. 40:24.080 --> 40:27.280 But other than that, you know, as men, we're supposed to endure things. 40:30.160 --> 40:31.600 You know, life as a man isn't easy. 40:31.600 --> 40:34.240 We're supposed to teach our sons that being a man is a hard thing. 40:34.240 --> 40:35.520 It's hard to be a man. 40:36.960 --> 40:38.480 You know, I want my son to be strong. 40:39.440 --> 40:41.680 You know, my son, he's one of the smallest kids. 40:43.600 --> 40:45.200 I think he gets my wife's genetics. 40:46.960 --> 40:49.840 He looks like me, but he's the size of my wife. 40:53.120 --> 40:55.040 Right now, he started going to Jiu Jitsu. 40:55.840 --> 40:57.920 He's the smallest one, like by far. 40:57.920 --> 40:58.960 Everyone's a head taller. 41:01.840 --> 41:06.000 But you know, if you ever see my son play at church, he's just down the scrap. 41:06.000 --> 41:13.360 I'd rather have my son get a little more trouble and be manly and be able to endure some beatings 41:14.320 --> 41:19.760 and get beat up by the bigger kids and get toughened up than be effeminate. 41:20.320 --> 41:22.000 You know, sports are really good for kids. 41:22.000 --> 41:22.880 That's another way. 41:22.880 --> 41:24.560 You know, wrestling will help kids. 41:24.560 --> 41:28.560 You know, when somebody bigger than you has your face on the mat and they're calling you names 41:28.560 --> 41:30.880 and they're mocking you, it's going to build some character. 41:31.840 --> 41:33.200 And if we go to... 41:33.200 --> 41:33.760 I'll go... 41:33.760 --> 41:34.800 This is the last passage. 41:35.520 --> 41:41.200 So if we go to a Psalms, a Solomon, it's the manliest book in the Bible. 42:00.880 --> 42:08.960 Let's write out... 42:11.600 --> 42:13.040 Look at chapter 5. 42:14.640 --> 42:18.240 So as wise as Solomon was, you know, he listened to his dad. 42:18.240 --> 42:21.600 His dad's last words, some of his last words to Solomon were, 42:21.600 --> 42:22.400 Be thou strong. 42:22.400 --> 42:24.720 And look at verse 15. 42:26.720 --> 42:30.080 His legs are as pillars of marble set upon sockets of fine gold. 42:30.720 --> 42:34.400 And his countenance has leavened on excellent as the cedars. 42:34.400 --> 42:40.320 So Solomon was a wise man and he harkened to his father's voice when he said to be strong. 42:40.960 --> 42:43.360 And it's a very important thing to be strong for men. 42:43.360 --> 42:46.960 And here it says that his legs are as pillars of marble. 42:48.000 --> 42:51.600 So I don't know if you ever hit marble, but it's pretty strong. 42:51.600 --> 42:53.360 So I'll leave it there. 42:56.160 --> 42:56.660 Amen. 43:00.080 --> 43:08.560 Do we usually end in a prayer? 43:09.280 --> 43:09.680 Yeah. 43:09.680 --> 43:10.180 Okay. 43:11.200 --> 43:12.880 Lord, thank you so much for this wonderful day, God, 43:12.880 --> 43:15.760 and please bless the families in the church. 43:15.760 --> 43:17.440 And please bless me and my family, God, 43:17.440 --> 43:19.600 and give us wisdom and understanding, Lord, in Jesus' name I pray. 43:19.600 --> 43:20.100 Amen. 43:22.640 --> 43:26.240 So if I don't get a text from all you guys about how many push-ups you guys did tonight, 43:27.680 --> 43:28.880 we know you guys didn't listen. 43:30.480 --> 43:33.280 We're going to do the old school traditions where we come to your house, you know, 43:33.280 --> 43:36.320 when they would have it like old churches, 43:36.320 --> 43:39.760 where they would come sneak in your backyard, see if you have a TV in your house. 43:41.120 --> 43:42.480 That's what we're going to be starting doing. 43:44.240 --> 43:44.740 So. 44:00.080 --> 44:00.580 Amen. 44:30.080 --> 44:30.580 Amen. 45:00.080 --> 45:00.580 Amen. 45:30.080 --> 45:30.580 Amen. 46:00.080 --> 46:00.580 Amen. 46:30.080 --> 46:30.580 Amen. 47:00.080 --> 47:00.580 Amen. 47:30.080 --> 47:30.580 Amen. 48:00.080 --> 48:00.580 Amen.
