Birthday Favorite

00:49.220 --> 00:55.220
Rock of Ages.

00:55.220 --> 01:01.220
Song 1-9 on the first.

01:01.220 --> 01:06.220
Rock of Ages, clap for me,

01:06.220 --> 01:11.220
Let me hide myself in thee,

01:11.220 --> 01:15.220
Let the water and the blood

01:15.220 --> 01:20.220
From thy wounded side which flowed

01:20.220 --> 01:24.220
Be of sin the double cure,

01:24.220 --> 01:29.220
Save from wrath and make me pure.

01:29.220 --> 01:33.220
Could my tears forever flow,

01:33.220 --> 01:38.220
Could my zeal no linger, no,

01:38.220 --> 01:42.220
These four sins could not atone.

01:42.220 --> 01:46.220
Thou must save and thou alone,

01:46.220 --> 01:50.220
In my hand no price I bring,

01:50.220 --> 01:55.220
Simply to the cross I cling,

01:55.220 --> 01:59.220
While I draw this fleeting breath,

01:59.220 --> 02:04.220
When my eyes shall close in death,

02:04.220 --> 02:08.220
When I rise to worlds unknown,

02:09.220 --> 02:13.220
And behold thee on thy throne,

02:13.220 --> 02:17.220
Rock of Ages, clap for me,

02:17.220 --> 02:22.220
Let me hide myself in thee.

02:22.220 --> 02:26.220
Amen. Good sing, Brother Kyle. Could you open the door with a word of prayer?

02:26.220 --> 02:29.220
Thank you Lord for this day and this church.

02:29.220 --> 02:33.220
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

02:33.220 --> 02:36.220
Amen. Our second song is song number 254,

02:36.220 --> 02:39.220
Whosoever Will.

02:41.220 --> 02:45.220
Song number 254, Whosoever Will.

02:53.220 --> 02:57.220
Song 254, let's sing it together on the first.

02:57.220 --> 03:02.220
Whosoever hear it, shout, shout the sound,

03:02.220 --> 03:07.220
Spread the blessed tidings all the world around,

03:07.220 --> 03:12.220
Tell the joyful news wherever man is found,

03:12.220 --> 03:17.220
Whosoever will may come.

03:17.220 --> 03:22.220
Whosoever will, whosoever will,

03:22.220 --> 03:27.220

03:27.220 --> 03:32.220
Tis the loving Father calls the wanderer home,

03:32.220 --> 03:37.220
Whosoever will may come.

03:37.220 --> 03:42.220
Whosoever cometh need not delay,

03:42.220 --> 03:47.220
Now the door is open, enter while you may,

03:47.220 --> 03:52.220
Jesus is the truly only living way,

03:52.220 --> 03:57.220
Whosoever will may come.

03:57.220 --> 04:02.220
Whosoever will, whosoever will,

04:33.220 --> 04:38.220
Whosoever will may come.

04:38.220 --> 04:43.220
Whosoever will, whosoever will,

04:43.220 --> 04:48.220
Send the proclamation over vale and hill,

04:48.220 --> 04:53.220

04:58.220 --> 05:03.220
Amen. Good singing. At this time we'll have our announcements.

05:03.220 --> 05:08.220
Good evening everyone.

05:08.220 --> 05:13.220
The verse of the week is John 1 verse 12.

05:13.220 --> 05:18.220
But as many as received him, to him gave he power

05:18.220 --> 05:23.220
to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.

05:23.220 --> 05:28.220
It's John 1 verse 12.

05:28.220 --> 05:33.220
Service times this morning were at 10.30, 3.30 this afternoon, 6.30 Wednesday evening Bible study.

05:33.220 --> 05:38.220
Soling times were at 12.30 yesterday and 1.00 p.m. today.

05:38.220 --> 05:43.220
And there is three salvations today. So, amen.

05:43.220 --> 05:48.220
That brings us to a total of six for May, 18 for April, for a total of 77 for the year so far.

05:48.220 --> 05:53.220
Alright, right now we're in the middle of a Bible reading challenge,

05:53.220 --> 05:58.220
which is the entire chapter of 1 Corinthians chapter 13.

05:58.220 --> 06:03.220
There will be a reward for all those that are able to recite that

06:03.220 --> 06:08.220
to be known later, but just to encourage you to get the

06:08.220 --> 06:13.220
Bible memory into your mind. Coming up next Friday,

06:13.220 --> 06:18.220
May 8th will be the sole winning marathon at Central Washington University in Ellensburg.

06:18.220 --> 06:23.220
So it's at 10.45 a.m. It's about a two and a half hour drive

06:23.220 --> 06:28.220
nonstop to there from here. So just plan accordingly and hopefully

06:28.220 --> 06:33.220
your virus repeats so the pastor knows how much lunch and who's all going.

06:33.220 --> 06:38.220
May 10th, which is next Sunday, is Mother's Day.

06:38.220 --> 06:43.220
There will be a Mother's Day message in the morning so just invite, bring people,

06:43.220 --> 06:48.220
be nice to have. Excuse me. June 9th, June 9th will be the

06:48.220 --> 06:53.220
homeschool day at the church building. So if you're going to show up,

06:53.220 --> 06:58.220
Jaleesa RSVP, let Miss Kylie know so she can plan all the events, food, and everything else

06:58.220 --> 07:03.220
that she does for those wonderful events. Kids, the memory verse right now is

07:03.220 --> 07:08.220
Psalms 59, Psalms 59 verse 17.

07:08.220 --> 07:13.220
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing, for God is my defense and the God of my mercies.

07:13.220 --> 07:18.220
That's Psalms 59 verse 17.

07:18.220 --> 07:23.220
Alright, rules and tithes are down below.

07:23.220 --> 07:28.220
Let's just, if you have any prayer requests, please let the tops of the known. They will get it into the bulletin.

07:28.220 --> 07:33.220
With that, let's turn to the Lord in prayer. Heavenly Father, thank you so much for today.

07:43.220 --> 07:48.220
Alright, our next song is song number 145.

07:48.220 --> 07:53.220
It is Well With My Soul.

07:53.220 --> 07:58.220
It is Well With My Soul.

07:58.220 --> 08:03.220
It is Well With My Soul.

08:03.220 --> 08:08.220
It is Well With My Soul.

08:08.220 --> 08:13.220
Alright, our next song is song number 145, It Is Well With My Soul.

08:13.220 --> 08:18.220
As you can hear, Kylie's a bit distracted right now, so we are going to do a cappella.

08:18.220 --> 08:23.220
Song number 145, It Is Well With My Soul.

08:32.220 --> 08:37.220
Yeah, we're doing the men-women. If you guys are, are you guys confident in it though?

08:37.220 --> 08:42.220
Okay, we're splitting it.

08:42.220 --> 08:47.220
I know, I was going to say, let's just divide it into the sides, but then it's all...

08:47.220 --> 08:52.220
Okay, we're going to get something though.

08:52.220 --> 08:57.220
Song number 145, yeah we could try the ladies on the first. I'll be with the ladies on the first anyways for the song later.

08:57.220 --> 09:02.220
Song number 145 will make the most of it. Let's sing it together on the first.

09:02.220 --> 09:07.220
When peace like a river

09:07.220 --> 09:12.220
Attended my way

09:12.220 --> 09:17.220
When sorrows like sea billows roll

09:17.220 --> 09:22.220
Whatever my lot

09:22.220 --> 09:27.220
Thou hast done me no harm

09:27.220 --> 09:32.220
And my lot

09:32.220 --> 09:37.220
Thou hast taught me to say

09:37.220 --> 09:42.220
It is well

09:42.220 --> 09:47.220
It is well with my soul

09:47.220 --> 09:52.220
It is well

09:52.220 --> 09:57.220
With my soul

09:57.220 --> 10:02.220
It is well

10:02.220 --> 10:07.220
With my soul

10:07.220 --> 10:12.220
Though Satan should

10:12.220 --> 10:17.220
Buffet, though trials should come

10:17.220 --> 10:22.220
Let this blast

10:22.220 --> 10:27.220
Assurance control

10:27.220 --> 10:32.220
That Christ has regarded

10:32.220 --> 10:37.220
My helpless estate

10:37.220 --> 10:42.220
And has shed

10:42.220 --> 10:47.220
His own blood

10:47.220 --> 10:52.220
For my soul

10:52.220 --> 10:57.220
It is well

10:57.220 --> 11:02.220
With my soul

11:02.220 --> 11:07.220
It is well

11:07.220 --> 11:12.220
On the third

11:12.220 --> 11:17.220
My sin, oh the bliss

11:17.220 --> 11:22.220
Of this glorious thought

11:22.220 --> 11:27.220
My sin not in part

11:27.220 --> 11:32.220
But the whole

11:32.220 --> 11:37.220
To the cross

11:37.220 --> 11:42.220
And I bear it no more

11:42.220 --> 11:47.220
Praise the Lord

11:47.220 --> 11:52.220
Praise the Lord, oh my soul

11:52.220 --> 11:57.220
It is well

11:57.220 --> 12:02.220
With my soul

12:02.220 --> 12:07.220
It is well

12:07.220 --> 12:12.220
With my soul

12:12.220 --> 12:17.220
And Lord haste the day

12:17.220 --> 12:22.220
When my face shall be sight

12:22.220 --> 12:27.220
The clouds be rolled back

12:27.220 --> 12:31.220
As a scroll

12:31.220 --> 12:36.220
The trump shall resound

12:36.220 --> 12:41.220
And the Lord shall descend

12:41.220 --> 12:45.220
Even so

12:45.220 --> 12:49.220
It is well

12:49.220 --> 12:54.220
With my soul

12:54.220 --> 12:59.220
It is well

12:59.220 --> 13:04.220
With my soul

13:04.220 --> 13:09.220
It is well

13:09.220 --> 13:14.220
With my soul

13:14.220 --> 13:19.220
Amen

13:44.220 --> 13:49.220
Welcome back everybody.

13:49.220 --> 13:54.220
Go ahead and take your Bibles

13:54.220 --> 13:59.220
and turn to Exodus chapter 20

13:59.220 --> 14:04.220
and turn to Exodus chapter 20

14:04.220 --> 14:09.220
and turn to Exodus chapter 20

14:09.220 --> 14:14.220
Go ahead and take your Bibles

14:09.220 --> 14:14.220
and turn to Exodus chapter 20.

14:14.220 --> 14:19.220
Exodus chapter 20 will be

14:14.220 --> 14:17.220
our text this afternoon

14:17.220 --> 14:22.220
and as always here at our

14:17.220 --> 14:22.220
church we read the entire chapter

14:22.220 --> 14:27.220
before the preaching.

14:27.220 --> 14:32.220
Exodus chapter 20,

14:27.220 --> 14:30.220
the Bible reads,

14:30.220 --> 14:35.220
And God spake all these words

14:30.220 --> 14:34.220
saying, I am the Lord thy God,

14:34.220 --> 14:37.220
which have brought thee out

14:37.220 --> 14:42.220
out of the house of bondage.

14:37.220 --> 14:42.220
Thou shalt have no other gods

14:37.220 --> 14:42.220
before me.

14:42.220 --> 14:47.220
Thou shalt not make unto thee

14:42.220 --> 14:47.220
any graven image or any likeness

14:47.220 --> 14:52.220
of anything that is in heaven

14:47.220 --> 14:52.220
above or that is in the earth

14:52.220 --> 14:57.220
beneath or that is in the

14:52.220 --> 14:55.220
water under the earth.

14:55.220 --> 15:00.220
Thou shalt not bow down

14:55.220 --> 15:00.220
thyself to them, nor serve them.

15:00.220 --> 15:05.220
For I the Lord thy God

15:00.220 --> 15:03.220
am a jealous God,

15:03.220 --> 15:08.220
visiting the iniquity

15:03.220 --> 15:07.220
of the fathers upon the children

15:07.220 --> 15:12.220
unto the third and fourth

15:07.220 --> 15:12.220
generation of them that hate me,

15:12.220 --> 15:17.220
and showing mercy unto

15:12.220 --> 15:15.220
thousands of them that love me

15:15.220 --> 15:18.220
and keep my commandments.

15:18.220 --> 15:23.220
Thou shalt not take the name

15:18.220 --> 15:22.220
of the Lord thy God in vain,

15:22.220 --> 15:27.220
for the Lord will not hold

15:22.220 --> 15:27.220
him guiltless that taketh

15:27.220 --> 15:30.220
his name in vain.

15:30.220 --> 15:31.220
Remember the Sabbath day

15:31.220 --> 15:36.220
that the seventh day

15:31.220 --> 15:36.220
of the Lord thy God.

15:36.220 --> 15:41.220
In it thou shalt not do

15:36.220 --> 15:41.220
any work, thou nor thy son,

15:41.220 --> 15:46.220
nor thy daughter, thy man

15:41.220 --> 15:46.220
servant, nor thy maid servant,

15:46.220 --> 15:51.220
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger

15:46.220 --> 15:51.220
that is within thy gates.

15:51.220 --> 15:56.220
For in six days the Lord

15:51.220 --> 15:56.220
made heaven and earth the sea

15:56.220 --> 15:59.220
and all that in them is,

15:59.220 --> 16:02.220
and rested the seventh day.

16:02.220 --> 16:07.220
Wherefore the Lord

16:02.220 --> 16:05.220
blessed the Sabbath day

16:05.220 --> 16:06.220
and hallowed it.

16:06.220 --> 16:09.220
Honor thy father and thy mother,

16:09.220 --> 16:14.220
that thy days may belong upon

16:09.220 --> 16:14.220
the land which the Lord thy God

16:14.220 --> 16:15.220
giveth thee.

16:15.220 --> 16:20.220
Thou shalt not kill,

16:15.220 --> 16:19.220
thou shalt not commit adultery,

16:19.220 --> 16:21.220
thou shalt not steal,

16:21.220 --> 16:26.220
thou shalt not bear false

16:21.220 --> 16:26.220
witness against thy neighbor,

16:26.220 --> 16:31.220
thou shalt not covet thy

16:26.220 --> 16:29.220
neighbor's house,

16:29.220 --> 16:34.220
thou shalt not covet thy

16:29.220 --> 16:33.220
neighbor's wife, nor his man

16:33.220 --> 16:38.220
servant, nor his maid servant,

16:33.220 --> 16:37.220
nor his ox, nor his ass,

16:37.220 --> 16:38.220
nor anything that is thy

16:38.220 --> 16:39.220
neighbors.

16:39.220 --> 16:44.220
And all the people saw the

16:39.220 --> 16:44.220
thunderings and the lightnings

16:44.220 --> 16:45.220
and the noise of the trumpet

16:45.220 --> 16:47.220
and the mountain smoking,

16:47.220 --> 16:48.220
and when the people saw it

16:48.220 --> 16:53.220
they removed and stood

16:48.220 --> 16:53.220
afar off.

16:53.220 --> 16:54.220
And they said unto Moses,

16:54.220 --> 16:59.220
Speak thou with us,

16:54.220 --> 16:57.220
and we will hear,

16:57.220 --> 16:58.220
but let not God speak with us

16:58.220 --> 17:01.220
lest we die.

17:01.220 --> 17:02.220
And Moses said unto the people,

17:02.220 --> 17:03.220
Fear not, for God has come

17:03.220 --> 17:04.220
to prove you, and that his fear

17:04.220 --> 17:05.220
may be before your eyes

17:05.220 --> 17:11.220
that ye sin not.

17:11.220 --> 17:12.220
And the people stood

17:12.220 --> 17:13.220
afar off, and Moses drew near

17:13.220 --> 17:14.220
unto the thick darkness

17:14.220 --> 17:17.220
where God was.

17:17.220 --> 17:18.220
And the Lord said unto Moses,

17:18.220 --> 17:19.220
Thus thou shalt say unto

17:19.220 --> 17:20.220
the children of Israel,

17:20.220 --> 17:21.220
ye have seen that

17:22.220 --> 17:23.220
I have talked with you

17:23.220 --> 17:26.220
from heaven.

17:26.220 --> 17:27.220
Ye shall not make with me

17:27.220 --> 17:28.220
gods of silver, neither

17:28.220 --> 17:29.220
shall ye make unto you

17:29.220 --> 17:34.220
gods of gold.

17:34.220 --> 17:35.220
An altar of earth thou

17:35.220 --> 17:37.220
shalt make unto me,

17:37.220 --> 17:38.220
and shalt sacrifice thereon

17:38.220 --> 17:40.220
thy burnt offerings

17:40.220 --> 17:42.220
and thy peace offerings,

17:42.220 --> 17:44.220
thy sheep and thine oxen.

17:44.220 --> 17:45.220
In all places where I record

17:45.220 --> 17:48.220
my name I will come unto thee

17:48.220 --> 17:50.220
and I will bless thee.

17:50.220 --> 17:57.260
And if thou will make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone.

17:57.260 --> 18:01.500
For if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

18:01.500 --> 18:08.200
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered

18:08.200 --> 18:09.200
thereon."

18:09.200 --> 18:10.200
Brother Paul, could you please pray for the service?

18:10.200 --> 18:11.200
Brother Paul, thank you so much for allowing us to be here to hear this chapter read.

18:11.200 --> 18:12.200
May we have ears now to hear the message that was prepared for us and let us soften our

18:12.200 --> 18:13.200
hearts to receive that message.

18:13.200 --> 18:14.200
In Jesus' name, Amen.

18:14.200 --> 18:15.200
Amen.

18:15.200 --> 18:16.200
Amen.

18:16.200 --> 18:17.200
All right.

18:17.200 --> 18:26.800
If you're in Exodus chapter number 20, we'll go ahead and turn to Exodus chapter number

18:26.800 --> 18:27.800
31.

18:27.800 --> 18:34.200
And we're going to come back to Exodus chapter number 20 a little bit later in the sermon.

18:34.200 --> 18:41.640
But if you want to turn to Exodus chapter number 31, if we look at verse number 13 where

18:41.640 --> 18:42.640
the Bible reads,

18:42.640 --> 18:47.000
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily, my Sabbath ye shall keep,

18:47.000 --> 18:52.040
for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I

18:52.040 --> 18:55.520
am the Lord, that death sanctify you.

18:55.520 --> 19:00.280
Ye shall keep the Sabbath, therefore it is holy unto you.

19:00.280 --> 19:03.180
Every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death.

19:03.180 --> 19:09.240
For whosoever death any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

19:09.240 --> 19:17.920
Six days may work be done, but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy unto the Lord.

19:17.920 --> 19:22.200
Whosoever death any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

19:22.200 --> 19:27.440
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout

19:27.440 --> 19:32.160
their generations for a perpetual covenant.

19:32.160 --> 19:35.880
So the Bible here is saying, is talking about the Sabbath, right?

19:35.880 --> 19:39.120
This is a clear commandment from the Bible to keep the Sabbath.

19:39.200 --> 19:45.520
And the title of my sermon this evening is, No More Sabbath.

19:45.520 --> 19:50.400
And basically I'm going to be proving from the Bible why in the New Testament of our

19:50.400 --> 19:55.940
Lord Jesus Christ we do not observe the Sabbath any longer.

19:55.940 --> 20:00.880
Because there's several different groups out there that will teach that we still need to

20:00.880 --> 20:04.200
observe the Sabbath even though we're in the New Testament.

20:04.200 --> 20:07.000
You know, of course, probably the biggest group that would come to mind would be the

20:07.000 --> 20:10.880
Seventh-day Adventists, probably the biggest group that are teaching this doctrine.

20:10.880 --> 20:16.760
But there are also other various groups, a lot of Judaizing type groups of Christians

20:16.760 --> 20:22.880
that are, you know, they're trying to bring the Sabbath back in alongside of other Old

20:22.880 --> 20:27.320
Testament ordinances like abstaining from pork, you know, and these different pictures

20:27.320 --> 20:29.000
that were in the Old Testament.

20:29.000 --> 20:34.360
They want to bring these things in and they're basically trying to Judaize Christianity,

20:34.360 --> 20:35.680
right?

20:35.680 --> 20:41.320
And so, you know, but these different groups, you know, they'll go to the Old Testament

20:41.320 --> 20:44.520
and they'll go to verses like this one.

20:44.520 --> 20:47.680
And of course, you know, this isn't the only verse in the Old Testament about the Sabbath

20:47.680 --> 20:48.680
day.

20:48.680 --> 20:49.840
There's multiple that we can see.

20:49.840 --> 20:55.960
But this, I think this is a good one because this is one that I could easily see them using

20:55.960 --> 21:02.800
to be like, see, the Sabbath doesn't end because at the end of those four verses, it says,

21:03.680 --> 21:09.520
to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations for a perpetual covenant, right?

21:09.520 --> 21:12.400
And this is that, you know, that right there, that's a phrase that they're going to make

21:12.400 --> 21:14.240
hay with, right?

21:14.240 --> 21:18.800
They're going to be like, you see, you're unbiblical, you're going to church on Sunday,

21:18.800 --> 21:19.800
what's wrong with you?

21:19.800 --> 21:23.560
Don't you know the Bible says that it's the Sabbath day?

21:23.560 --> 21:27.120
And so, you know, and they'll use this and say, hey, it's a perpetual covenant.

21:27.120 --> 21:29.880
Go ahead and turn to Leviticus chapter number 24, though.

21:29.880 --> 21:34.600
Leviticus chapter number 24.

21:34.600 --> 21:39.000
And you know, this would be, this is particularly interesting for, I would say, the Seventh

21:39.000 --> 21:44.480
Day Adventists because as far as I know, you know, the Seventh Day Adventists, you know,

21:44.480 --> 21:52.040
they have like a select few of the Old Testament, I don't want to say rituals, but the Old Testament

21:52.040 --> 21:56.160
ordinances that they do keep, like they, you know, they teach people to abstain from pork

21:56.160 --> 21:57.160
and whatnot, right?

21:57.400 --> 22:01.000
They also, you know, they teach people to be vegetarians, which not sure where that

22:01.000 --> 22:04.760
one came from, but you know, it certainly didn't come from the Bible, let me tell you

22:04.760 --> 22:06.760
that.

22:06.760 --> 22:12.480
But you know, they do observe certain other, the other ordinances from the Old Testament.

22:12.480 --> 22:15.560
But you know, I'm pretty sure they're not doing like, they're not offering stuff by

22:15.560 --> 22:16.560
fire, right?

22:16.560 --> 22:20.200
You know, they're not like baking bread for the priest or anything like that.

22:20.200 --> 22:26.040
Like, you know, so, you know, I don't know how they draw the line on, you know, which

22:26.120 --> 22:30.000
ordinances of throwing out, you know, and which ones they're keeping.

22:30.000 --> 22:34.760
But I will tell you this, it's not based on whether or not it said it was perpetual, right?

22:34.760 --> 22:39.920
Because we're going to look here in Leviticus chapter number 24 at an ordinance that the

22:39.920 --> 22:45.400
Bible says is perpetual that I guarantee you the Seventh Day Adventists are not keeping.

22:45.400 --> 22:46.480
Okay.

22:46.480 --> 22:50.560
And let's look at verse number 25, not 25, verse number five.

22:50.560 --> 22:51.560
It says,

23:20.560 --> 23:47.320
Now, notice there at the end of the verse, verse number nine, it says a perpetual statue,

23:47.320 --> 23:48.320
doesn't it?

23:48.440 --> 23:51.080
Now here's the thing about these things, right?

23:51.080 --> 23:54.600
Now maybe Seventh Day Adventists is going to come to me and they're going to tell me,

23:54.600 --> 23:56.840
oh, no, no, no, Jason, we actually do.

23:56.840 --> 24:03.600
We bake 12 cakes of bread and we set them six in a row and we get out frankincense and

24:03.600 --> 24:05.400
we're doing that every Sabbath.

24:05.400 --> 24:06.440
But you know what?

24:06.440 --> 24:09.400
They're still not keeping this commandment because guess what it says?

24:09.400 --> 24:11.960
The Bible says, remember, this is God's word, right?

24:11.960 --> 24:13.240
This is what the Bible actually says.

24:13.240 --> 24:16.040
It says, and it shall be Aaron and his sons.

24:16.080 --> 24:20.520
Do they have Aaron's sons down there at the Seventh Day Adventist Church or any of these

24:20.520 --> 24:25.600
other groups they're claiming to be, you know, Torah observing or whatever, and they're keeping

24:25.600 --> 24:27.000
the old covenant or whatever.

24:27.000 --> 24:28.920
Do they have Aaron's sons?

24:28.920 --> 24:31.640
No, absolutely not.

24:31.640 --> 24:32.680
What else don't they have?

24:32.680 --> 24:34.560
Do they have the Holy Place?

24:34.560 --> 24:36.880
Do they have the Tabernacle?

24:36.880 --> 24:39.200
Do they have the temple?

24:39.200 --> 24:41.840
You know, I haven't seen a Tabernacle around anywhere.

24:41.840 --> 24:44.160
You know, I've driven by Seventh Day Adventist churches.

24:44.200 --> 24:46.240
It didn't look like a Tabernacle to me.

24:46.240 --> 24:46.680
You know what?

24:46.680 --> 24:48.840
And guess what happened in 70 AD?

24:48.840 --> 24:51.560
Well, the temple was destroyed by Titus.

24:51.560 --> 24:53.440
OK, so guess what?

24:53.440 --> 24:54.560
It's impossible.

24:54.560 --> 24:59.000
But yet the Bible says here it's a perpetual covenant.

24:59.000 --> 24:59.800
So what's going on?

24:59.800 --> 25:00.200
How come?

25:00.200 --> 25:02.080
How come we're not keeping this one?

25:02.080 --> 25:06.240
Are we just all completely unbiblical and we've all forsaken God's word?

25:06.240 --> 25:11.200
No, my friend, is that these things were there for a certain purpose, right?

25:11.240 --> 25:17.280
And here's the thing about it is that God said, hey, this is a perpetual covenant.

25:17.280 --> 25:18.800
You're supposed to do these things.

25:18.800 --> 25:21.320
You're supposed to keep this covenant.

25:21.320 --> 25:23.160
But what ended up happening?

25:23.160 --> 25:24.880
Did they always keep the covenant?

25:24.880 --> 25:25.600
Because guess what?

25:25.600 --> 25:28.040
You know, even that temple that was there during Jesus's day,

25:28.040 --> 25:29.880
was that the first temple that was there?

25:29.880 --> 25:31.800
No, that was a second temple, my friend.

25:31.800 --> 25:36.400
The first temple was destroyed 500 years before Christ.

25:36.400 --> 25:40.840
And they were taken into Babylon for 70 years, right?

25:40.840 --> 25:45.680
And so maybe they built themselves a tabernacle over there

25:45.680 --> 25:47.800
while they were in the Babylonian captivity.

25:47.800 --> 25:52.520
And they were actually keeping all the ordinances and whatnot.

25:52.520 --> 25:54.080
But I doubt it.

25:54.080 --> 25:56.080
And when you read through the Bible, there's

25:56.080 --> 25:58.560
large sections of it where absolutely not.

25:58.560 --> 26:03.680
They were not observing that Old Testament covenant, right?

26:03.680 --> 26:06.320
So it was supposed to be something that's perpetual.

26:06.320 --> 26:07.160
Well, guess what?

26:07.160 --> 26:09.320
They made it so it wasn't perpetual.

26:09.320 --> 26:10.800
It was a perpetual command from God.

26:10.840 --> 26:11.520
Yes.

26:11.520 --> 26:12.440
But guess what?

26:12.440 --> 26:13.240
Man did it.

26:13.240 --> 26:15.680
And you know, even the reason, even the reason

26:15.680 --> 26:17.640
why God threw them out of the land

26:17.640 --> 26:20.520
and had them taken out into Babylon,

26:20.520 --> 26:23.560
why was it 70 years, my friend?

26:23.560 --> 26:26.480
To let the land rest for 70 years,

26:26.480 --> 26:30.200
because they had not observed the Jubilee, which

26:30.200 --> 26:32.920
was supposed to be a Sabbath for the land, right?

26:32.920 --> 26:37.960
They just didn't do that for 70 cycles, right?

26:37.960 --> 26:39.800
Every seven years, it's supposed to be,

26:39.840 --> 26:43.240
or it's not the year of Jubilee, but it's the year of Sabbath,

26:43.240 --> 26:45.440
right, where they're supposed to not grow anything.

26:45.440 --> 26:47.120
They're supposed to let the land rest.

26:47.120 --> 26:49.280
The year of Jubilee is every 50 years, right?

26:49.280 --> 26:53.400
But that's the reason why it was 70 years, the Lord said.

26:53.400 --> 26:56.800
He's like, hey, you guys haven't been keeping the Sabbath.

26:56.800 --> 26:58.960
So you're going to be thrown into Babylon.

26:58.960 --> 27:01.200
You're going to be taken away into Babylon for 70 years,

27:01.200 --> 27:04.360
because I'm going to make sure the land rests.

27:04.360 --> 27:06.160
And you know, it's either we're going

27:06.160 --> 27:08.440
to do it the easy way or the hard way, right?

27:08.560 --> 27:10.400
And so God had to make them do it the hard way,

27:10.400 --> 27:13.440
because they had not kept those ordinances.

27:13.440 --> 27:15.720
They had not kept that Sabbath, right?

27:15.720 --> 27:18.880
And so that's why it didn't last forever,

27:18.880 --> 27:21.280
is because people are sinful.

27:21.280 --> 27:22.560
People screwed it up.

27:22.560 --> 27:24.600
People didn't keep it correctly.

27:24.600 --> 27:28.320
It was not possible for us to keep the Old Covenant.

27:28.320 --> 27:31.520
I mean, that's why even Jesus had to come, right?

27:31.520 --> 27:31.760
Why?

27:31.760 --> 27:34.600
Because the Bible says that righteousness is not by the law.

27:34.600 --> 27:35.400
Why is that?

27:35.400 --> 27:37.760
Because that's impossible.

27:37.760 --> 27:39.200
That's why, OK?

27:39.200 --> 27:44.240
So in the Old Testament, you see a lot of these type of verses

27:44.240 --> 27:47.080
where there's something that God commands the children of Israel

27:47.080 --> 27:49.640
to do, and it's supposed to be something that's perpetual.

27:49.640 --> 27:50.640
It's supposed to be something that

27:50.640 --> 27:52.000
goes through every generation.

27:52.000 --> 27:54.720
It's supposed to be something that happens continually.

27:54.720 --> 27:57.720
So it's like, well, why didn't it happen?

27:57.720 --> 28:00.080
Well, because people didn't make it happen,

28:00.080 --> 28:01.840
because people are sinful, right?

28:01.840 --> 28:04.360
Because they screwed up.

28:04.360 --> 28:07.240
But we do realize in the New Testament

28:07.520 --> 28:12.040
that all of these things were a picture of what was to come.

28:12.040 --> 28:14.320
These things were to be a picture of Jesus Christ.

28:14.320 --> 28:17.720
You see, because God is all knowing.

28:17.720 --> 28:20.320
He wasn't surprised when the children of Israel

28:20.320 --> 28:21.680
didn't keep this out properly.

28:21.680 --> 28:23.320
He wasn't surprised when they didn't

28:23.320 --> 28:25.040
keep the offerings properly.

28:25.040 --> 28:28.560
He wasn't surprised when they weren't tithing

28:28.560 --> 28:30.600
the way they were supposed to, and they weren't keeping

28:30.600 --> 28:32.520
the Old Covenant the way they were supposed to.

28:32.520 --> 28:34.000
He wasn't surprised.

28:34.040 --> 28:38.240
That was basically part of the plan.

28:38.240 --> 28:41.680
I mean, ever since Adam and Eve sinned,

28:41.680 --> 28:47.400
the plan was to have Jesus come and redeem the world.

28:47.400 --> 28:51.320
And also, God wasn't surprised by Adam and Eve sinning, right?

28:51.320 --> 28:54.120
So I mean, it's always been the plan.

28:54.120 --> 28:57.560
And so this was never a surprise to God,

28:57.560 --> 29:00.120
but yet he gave them these commandments

29:00.120 --> 29:03.720
to demonstrate our fallibility.

29:04.560 --> 29:07.600
So that's why he called them a perpetual covenant

29:07.600 --> 29:10.840
that they were supposed to keep, or basically

29:10.840 --> 29:13.520
a perpetual statute for all generations,

29:13.520 --> 29:15.480
is because that's what it was supposed to be.

29:15.480 --> 29:16.840
That's what he commanded them to do.

29:16.840 --> 29:17.280
But guess what?

29:17.280 --> 29:18.760
They didn't do it.

29:22.760 --> 29:25.240
But that just demonstrates, though,

29:25.240 --> 29:29.280
that just because it says that it's perpetual

29:29.280 --> 29:31.080
and it's something that's supposed to be generation

29:31.120 --> 29:35.040
from generation, they don't apply that rule equally,

29:35.040 --> 29:37.480
because they're not keeping the whole Old Testament.

29:37.480 --> 29:41.160
They're only keeping the little parts that they like.

29:41.160 --> 29:44.520
It's their little preference.

29:44.520 --> 29:47.520
And if they're keeping the whole Old Testament,

29:47.520 --> 29:51.600
talk about a slap in the face to Jesus Christ.

29:51.600 --> 29:56.120
Because I mean, at that point, you're just totally rejecting

29:56.120 --> 29:58.200
the God of the universe paying for your sins for you,

29:58.200 --> 30:01.120
because you're just like, no, I'm going to do it my way.

30:01.120 --> 30:02.840
I'm going to refuse Jesus Christ.

30:02.840 --> 30:04.080
I'm going to reject him.

30:04.080 --> 30:06.160
I'm going to do it my way.

30:06.160 --> 30:07.960
Yeah, it is wicked.

30:07.960 --> 30:09.880
But go ahead and turn to Exodus chapter number 20.

30:09.880 --> 30:11.320
Exodus chapter number 20.

30:11.320 --> 30:13.480
So that's one of the arguments that they'll use.

30:13.480 --> 30:16.320
They'll be like, hey, it's a perpetual covenant,

30:16.320 --> 30:18.120
or it's a perpetual statute that you're supposed

30:18.120 --> 30:19.760
to do forever, right?

30:19.760 --> 30:21.800
So how come you stopped?

30:23.000 --> 30:27.280
Well, because the time of the Reformation came, that's why.

30:27.280 --> 30:28.800
Because Jesus Christ came, that's why.

30:28.800 --> 30:31.080
But another argument that they'll use is that they'll say,

30:31.080 --> 30:36.080
hey, the Sabbath is in the Ten Commandments.

30:37.800 --> 30:40.320
I mean, don't you believe in the Ten Commandments?

30:40.320 --> 30:43.720
I mean, does somebody here just reject the Ten Commandments?

30:43.720 --> 30:45.960
I mean, it's the Ten Commandments, my friend.

30:45.960 --> 30:49.440
How could you not be observing the Ten Commandments, right?

30:50.280 --> 30:54.240
And this is why I had us read Exodus chapter number 20,

30:54.240 --> 30:56.680
is because we see here where the Ten Commandments

30:56.680 --> 30:58.200
kind of originate from, right?

30:58.200 --> 31:01.120
And it says, Exodus 20 verse number nine, it says,

31:01.120 --> 31:05.960
six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work,

31:05.960 --> 31:10.640
but the seventh day it is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God,

31:10.640 --> 31:13.720
and thou shalt not do any work,

31:13.720 --> 31:16.960
thou nor thy son nor thy daughter, thy maidservant,

31:16.960 --> 31:21.000
nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle,

31:21.000 --> 31:24.800
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.

31:24.800 --> 31:27.840
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth,

31:27.840 --> 31:30.920
the sea and all that in them is,

31:30.920 --> 31:33.160
and rested the seventh day,

31:33.160 --> 31:37.920
wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

31:37.920 --> 31:40.520
So we can see it's right there in the Ten Commandments, amen?

31:40.520 --> 31:43.280
Commandment number four.

31:43.280 --> 31:46.280
And so therefore, we just have to observe it

31:46.280 --> 31:48.360
from henceforth and forever.

31:48.360 --> 31:50.120
It doesn't matter that Jesus Christ came,

31:50.120 --> 31:52.440
we still have to observe the Sabbath.

31:52.440 --> 31:54.780
But here's the problem with that.

31:54.780 --> 31:57.420
Go ahead and turn to Exodus chapter number 34.

31:57.420 --> 32:00.300
I'm gonna prove that just because,

32:00.300 --> 32:01.660
I'm gonna prove beyond a shadow of a doubt

32:01.660 --> 32:03.340
that just because it's in the Ten Commandments,

32:03.340 --> 32:05.900
that does not mean that we need to be observing it today.

32:05.900 --> 32:10.100
That is a false argument that is not legitimate.

32:10.100 --> 32:11.380
Absolutely false.

32:12.980 --> 32:15.540
We're gonna turn to Exodus chapter number 34.

32:18.060 --> 32:19.820
Look at verse number 28.

32:25.140 --> 32:29.180
Exodus chapter number 34, verse number 28, it says,

32:29.180 --> 32:34.180
and he was there with the Lord 40 days and 40 nights.

32:34.420 --> 32:38.100
He didn't either eat bread nor drink water,

32:38.100 --> 32:42.020
and he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant,

32:42.020 --> 32:44.260
the Ten Commandments.

32:44.260 --> 32:49.140
So notice, what did the Bible say about the Ten Commandments?

32:50.340 --> 32:53.140
He said, he wrote, excuse me,

32:53.180 --> 32:58.180
he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, right?

32:58.540 --> 32:59.380
The Ten Commandments.

32:59.380 --> 33:02.140
So according to the Bible, what is the Ten Commandments?

33:03.100 --> 33:04.580
The covenant, right?

33:06.420 --> 33:08.820
Go ahead and turn to Deuteronomy chapter number 10.

33:08.820 --> 33:12.300
I'm gonna read for you Deuteronomy chapter number four,

33:12.300 --> 33:13.780
verse number 13, it says,

33:13.780 --> 33:18.060
and he declared unto you his covenant,

33:18.060 --> 33:22.780
which he commanded you to perform even 10 commandments.

33:22.820 --> 33:25.100
And he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

33:25.100 --> 33:26.540
So notice, what did the Bible call

33:26.540 --> 33:28.140
the Ten Commandments there again?

33:28.140 --> 33:29.500
The covenant, right?

33:29.500 --> 33:33.260
Deuteronomy chapter number 10, verse number four, it says,

33:33.260 --> 33:37.220
and he wrote on tables according to the first writing,

33:37.220 --> 33:40.300
the Ten Commandments, which the Lord spake unto you

33:40.300 --> 33:43.700
in the mount out of the midst of the fire

33:43.700 --> 33:48.700
in the day of assembly, and the Lord gave them unto me.

33:48.940 --> 33:53.940
So the Bible here is telling us that the Ten Commandments,

33:56.060 --> 33:58.500
it's the covenant, amen?

33:58.500 --> 33:59.900
It's the covenant.

33:59.900 --> 34:03.580
And so go ahead and turn to Second Corinthians

34:03.580 --> 34:06.580
chapter number three, Second Corinthians chapter number three.

34:06.580 --> 34:11.220
So in the Old Testament, the Ten Commandments

34:11.220 --> 34:14.780
are referred to as the covenant, right?

34:14.780 --> 34:17.820
And why is the Bible referring to it as the covenant?

34:17.820 --> 34:22.180
Because it is basically, it's like the 10 biggest things

34:22.180 --> 34:23.820
in the Old Testament, right?

34:23.820 --> 34:26.580
That the 10 biggest laws that God wanted people to keep,

34:26.580 --> 34:27.900
right, because obviously, you know,

34:27.900 --> 34:29.780
I can't remember exactly what the number of laws,

34:29.780 --> 34:33.860
but there's like 630 or 600 something laws

34:33.860 --> 34:35.820
in the Old Testament that people,

34:35.820 --> 34:37.860
that were required to be kept in the Old Testament.

34:37.860 --> 34:41.060
You know, some were positive, some were negative,

34:41.060 --> 34:45.140
meaning some were, you have to do X, Y, and Z,

34:45.140 --> 34:47.740
and don't do X, Y, and Z, right?

34:48.660 --> 34:50.660
And so, you know, you have a mix of those different types

34:50.660 --> 34:53.580
of commandments, but the Ten Commandments,

34:53.580 --> 34:55.940
it's like, okay, it's like the cliff notes

34:55.940 --> 34:58.340
of the entire Old Covenant.

34:58.340 --> 35:01.820
Kind of like, you know, when they ask Jesus,

35:01.820 --> 35:03.540
hey, you know, what's the most important commandment?

35:03.540 --> 35:05.620
He's like, hey, the most important one is,

35:05.620 --> 35:07.540
love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,

35:07.540 --> 35:09.620
with all thy soul, and with all thy strength,

35:09.620 --> 35:11.780
or mind, I can't remember exactly which one.

35:11.780 --> 35:13.900
And then, you know, he says, hey, by the way,

35:13.900 --> 35:14.900
the second one is like on 2-8,

35:14.900 --> 35:16.500
love your neighbor as yourself.

35:16.540 --> 35:19.460
Upon these, hangs all the law of the prophets, right?

35:19.460 --> 35:21.580
So that's like a super cliff notes.

35:21.580 --> 35:24.940
You know, my son, he's been like drawing these books, right?

35:24.940 --> 35:27.500
And he like, he made this like tiny little book.

35:27.500 --> 35:30.500
It's like a one inch, you know, square inch page,

35:30.500 --> 35:31.460
you know, and you flip through,

35:31.460 --> 35:33.260
and you see all his little dinosaurs

35:33.260 --> 35:34.540
he's been drawing in there.

35:34.540 --> 35:38.260
It's like, the cliff notes version, you know,

35:38.260 --> 35:39.900
it's like a tiny explanation

35:39.900 --> 35:41.340
of what the Old Testament is, right?

35:41.340 --> 35:43.420
Because, you know, there's quite a few laws

35:43.420 --> 35:44.620
in the Old Testament, right?

35:44.620 --> 35:45.860
It's a big read.

35:45.860 --> 35:46.700
But it's like, all right,

35:46.700 --> 35:48.740
well, here's what we're gonna get you started with.

35:48.740 --> 35:50.020
Here's the 10 commandments.

35:50.020 --> 35:53.100
Start with these, you're gonna be doing pretty well, right?

35:53.100 --> 35:55.540
And hey, if you don't have time for the 10 commandments,

35:55.540 --> 35:57.500
you know, just love the Lord thy God,

35:57.500 --> 35:59.860
and love any revs thyself.

35:59.860 --> 36:03.060
And you're gonna make it a long way, right?

36:03.060 --> 36:05.020
And so, but basically the 10 commandments

36:05.020 --> 36:06.500
is just kind of condensing it down

36:06.500 --> 36:08.980
into an abbreviated version, right?

36:08.980 --> 36:12.380
And so it's like, hey, this is the covenant, right?

36:13.260 --> 36:16.820
But what does the New Testament say about that?

36:17.820 --> 36:19.980
It says here in 2 Corinthians chapter number three,

36:19.980 --> 36:22.980
look at verse number six, it says,

36:22.980 --> 36:27.700
who also hath made us able ministers of the New Testament,

36:27.700 --> 36:29.740
not of the letter, but of the Spirit,

36:29.740 --> 36:30.940
for the letter killeth.

36:30.940 --> 36:33.900
Now remember, this is God's word, right?

36:33.900 --> 36:35.060
This is what God told us,

36:35.060 --> 36:36.660
we better be taking it seriously.

36:36.660 --> 36:39.300
Says, but the Spirit giveth life,

36:39.300 --> 36:42.420
but the ministration of death,

36:42.420 --> 36:46.940
written and engraved in stone, was glorious,

36:46.940 --> 36:50.620
so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold

36:50.620 --> 36:53.700
the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance,

36:53.700 --> 36:56.820
which glory was to be done away.

36:56.820 --> 37:01.220
How shall not the minister of the Spirit be rather glorious?

37:01.220 --> 37:04.140
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory,

37:04.140 --> 37:07.220
much more doth the ministration of righteousness

37:07.260 --> 37:12.020
exceed in glory, for even that which was made glorious

37:12.020 --> 37:14.660
had no glory in this respect

37:14.660 --> 37:17.220
by reason of glory that exceleth.

37:17.220 --> 37:22.220
For if that which is, notice this, done away was glorious,

37:24.140 --> 37:29.020
much more that which remaineth is glorious.

37:29.020 --> 37:32.460
So notice what was it that was done away with,

37:33.660 --> 37:36.420
but that ministration of death,

37:36.420 --> 37:39.700
and where was that ministration of death written?

37:39.700 --> 37:44.500
It was written and engraved in stone.

37:44.500 --> 37:46.060
Now let me ask you this,

37:46.060 --> 37:50.160
what was engraved in stone in the Old Testament?

37:51.140 --> 37:52.720
The 10 commandments.

37:53.780 --> 37:57.400
And so what is done away with in the New Testament?

37:58.620 --> 38:01.120
The 10 commandments, the Old Covenant, my friend.

38:02.120 --> 38:07.120
And so we are not required to observe the Sabbath day

38:08.120 --> 38:11.160
in the New Testament, because guess what?

38:11.160 --> 38:14.000
We're, it's the Old Covenant's done away with,

38:14.000 --> 38:15.280
we're in the New Testament of our Lord

38:15.280 --> 38:17.160
and Savior Jesus Christ.

38:17.160 --> 38:21.160
So we don't have to keep all the Old Testament ordinances.

38:21.160 --> 38:22.500
Now does that mean that it's okay

38:22.500 --> 38:24.520
to go out and murder people?

38:24.520 --> 38:25.520
No, but guess what?

38:25.520 --> 38:30.520
The New Testament tells us, hey, do no murder, right?

38:30.920 --> 38:33.720
And you know, the New Testament gives us all,

38:33.720 --> 38:38.360
basically it re-ups all kinds of things

38:38.360 --> 38:40.280
in the Old Testament, right?

38:40.280 --> 38:44.880
But guess what it doesn't re-up any of the ordinances,

38:44.880 --> 38:46.800
and basically different things

38:46.800 --> 38:49.280
that are not inherently sinful.

38:49.280 --> 38:50.960
Now is working on the Sabbath day,

38:50.960 --> 38:54.520
is that actually inherently sinful?

38:54.520 --> 38:57.760
Absolutely not, right?

38:57.800 --> 39:01.800
And so the Bible here is saying, hey, guess what?

39:01.800 --> 39:05.760
You know, the Old Covenant is done away with.

39:05.760 --> 39:08.080
And you know, it says it in a lot of different ways,

39:08.080 --> 39:11.240
because what the Old Covenant was,

39:11.240 --> 39:16.240
it's likening it as to Moses when his face shone, right?

39:17.440 --> 39:20.200
So Moses, he goes up into Mount Sinai

39:20.200 --> 39:22.600
for 40 days and 40 nights, and he's with God,

39:22.600 --> 39:25.640
he's committing with God, basically the 10 commandments

39:25.640 --> 39:26.560
get written on stone.

39:26.560 --> 39:29.080
He comes down, they literally have to put a veil

39:29.080 --> 39:31.920
over his face because they can't look at him,

39:31.920 --> 39:33.000
because he's like blinding them,

39:33.000 --> 39:36.440
because his face is shining, right?

39:36.440 --> 39:38.080
Now here's the thing about that.

39:39.480 --> 39:44.480
Was Moses' face shining forever, or did it cease to shine?

39:45.320 --> 39:47.240
It ceased to shine.

39:47.240 --> 39:50.240
That's a picture of the Old Covenant, my friend.

39:50.240 --> 39:53.120
That's a picture of keeping the Sabbath.

39:53.120 --> 39:54.120
It ended.

39:55.000 --> 39:58.920
Moses' face didn't shine forever, right?

39:58.920 --> 40:01.240
And so his glory ended.

40:01.240 --> 40:06.240
And how much greater is God's glory than Moses' glory?

40:06.560 --> 40:07.400
Right?

40:07.400 --> 40:10.520
And so, you know, the glory of Moses

40:10.520 --> 40:13.920
was supposed to point to the glory of God, right?

40:13.920 --> 40:15.320
I mean, what did Jesus say?

40:15.320 --> 40:19.800
He said to the Jews, hey, you don't believe Moses,

40:19.800 --> 40:21.360
for if you had believed him,

40:21.360 --> 40:23.720
you would believe me for he wrote of me, right?

40:23.720 --> 40:28.440
So Moses, he's supposed to be pointing to Jesus, right?

40:28.440 --> 40:30.160
He's supposed to be showing the,

40:30.160 --> 40:31.960
I mean, he's supposed to be like John the Baptist

40:31.960 --> 40:35.680
making the way of the Messiah straight, right?

40:35.680 --> 40:37.880
Pointing to Jesus Christ.

40:37.880 --> 40:40.360
And so that was the whole point of the Old Covenant.

40:40.360 --> 40:42.480
That was the whole point of people, you know,

40:42.480 --> 40:43.720
keeping the Sabbath.

40:43.720 --> 40:48.720
It's supposed to be a picture of Jesus Christ and him coming

40:48.760 --> 40:49.800
and paying for our sins.

40:49.800 --> 40:51.880
And we'll go over this later in the sermon,

40:51.880 --> 40:54.040
but obviously us resting in him

40:54.040 --> 40:56.640
while he did all the work for our salvation, right?

40:57.960 --> 41:02.240
And so, you know, this is something that is not debatable.

41:02.240 --> 41:05.360
You know, it's not like a gray area or anything like that.

41:05.360 --> 41:08.920
Now, you know, if somebody, for whatever reason,

41:08.920 --> 41:12.000
they just wanted to like take Saturday off

41:12.000 --> 41:14.180
and they just didn't wanna work on Saturday,

41:14.180 --> 41:15.680
that's one thing.

41:15.680 --> 41:17.720
But the problem comes in where people say,

41:17.720 --> 41:19.960
hey, no, this is the command of God.

41:19.960 --> 41:20.880
Right.

41:20.880 --> 41:23.960
No, this is not the command of God.

41:23.960 --> 41:26.640
Jesus came and if you're commanding

41:26.640 --> 41:31.400
to keep the Old Covenant, that is blaspheming God.

41:32.700 --> 41:35.640
And God is not happy with people blaspheming him

41:35.640 --> 41:37.680
and trying to keep the Old Covenant around

41:37.680 --> 41:39.000
when he already got rid of it.

41:39.000 --> 41:40.880
He already has done away with it.

41:40.880 --> 41:42.000
Okay.

41:42.000 --> 41:44.040
And again, you know, I mentioned like,

41:44.040 --> 41:46.440
this is what the Bible says.

41:46.440 --> 41:48.480
This isn't me making these things up.

41:48.480 --> 41:51.800
The Bible says, for that which is done away was glorious

41:51.800 --> 41:54.700
much more than that which remaineth is glorious,

41:54.700 --> 41:57.320
which means it's done away.

41:57.320 --> 41:58.160
Okay.

41:58.160 --> 42:01.680
All right, so go ahead and turn to Hebrews chapter number 13.

42:01.680 --> 42:02.960
Hebrews chapter number 13.

42:10.240 --> 42:13.840
This is gonna be a real Bible heavy sermon.

42:14.640 --> 42:15.480
Uh-oh.

42:18.080 --> 42:20.880
I mean, I usually have Bible heavy sermons, I feel like,

42:20.880 --> 42:23.440
but I've got six pages.

42:23.440 --> 42:24.600
I got six pages of notes.

42:24.600 --> 42:27.680
Normally I have like three, maybe four.

42:27.680 --> 42:30.520
So I got six pages, but I have large blank spots.

42:30.520 --> 42:33.760
So don't get scared, is what anyone would say.

42:36.040 --> 42:39.280
All right, Hebrews chapter number 13.

42:39.280 --> 42:43.320
The Bible says, in that he saith,

42:44.360 --> 42:47.400
verse number 13, by the way, Hebrews 13, 13.

42:47.400 --> 42:50.120
It says, in that he saith a new covenant,

42:50.120 --> 42:52.920
he hath made the first old,

42:52.920 --> 42:56.520
now that which decayeth and waxeth old

42:56.520 --> 42:59.000
is ready to vanish away.

42:59.000 --> 42:59.840
Right?

42:59.840 --> 43:01.600
And so, you know, once again, the Bible here is saying,

43:01.600 --> 43:04.160
hey, look, we have a new covenant.

43:04.160 --> 43:05.000
We have a new covenant.

43:05.000 --> 43:07.640
We have a new Testament of our Lord, Savior, Jesus Christ,

43:07.640 --> 43:11.200
which means that the old one is gone.

43:11.200 --> 43:13.000
It's done away with.

43:13.000 --> 43:16.680
I mean, we don't need to be sacrificing lambs anymore.

43:16.680 --> 43:19.520
You know, we don't need to be observing times,

43:19.520 --> 43:21.600
and we don't need to be keeping the Passover,

43:21.600 --> 43:22.840
and we don't need to be doing all these

43:22.840 --> 43:25.280
different Old Testament holidays.

43:25.280 --> 43:27.880
We don't have to do that stuff anymore.

43:27.880 --> 43:29.880
You know, we're in the New Testament.

43:29.880 --> 43:32.400
You know, there's a couple different ordinances

43:32.400 --> 43:35.760
that we're taught to keep in the New Testament.

43:35.800 --> 43:38.520
You know, the two big ones are obviously baptism

43:38.520 --> 43:40.320
and the Lord's Supper.

43:40.320 --> 43:41.160
Right?

43:41.160 --> 43:42.080
And here's the thing about those two things.

43:42.080 --> 43:44.080
Baptism happens one time.

43:44.080 --> 43:44.920
Amen?

43:44.920 --> 43:47.320
So one time you get baptized, you know,

43:47.320 --> 43:49.240
and then the Lord's Supper,

43:49.240 --> 43:53.160
the Bible does not give any type of timetable

43:53.160 --> 43:54.400
for keeping it.

43:54.400 --> 43:56.840
It just says, as often as that.

43:56.840 --> 43:58.440
So if we, you know,

43:58.440 --> 44:00.320
personally, we're not gonna be doing this ever,

44:00.320 --> 44:01.880
but if we wanted to keep the Lord's Supper

44:01.880 --> 44:03.320
every single service,

44:03.320 --> 44:05.280
the Bible doesn't say anything against that.

44:05.280 --> 44:08.400
Now, you know, we're not gonna do that

44:08.400 --> 44:09.840
because we wanna take the Lord's Supper

44:09.840 --> 44:12.040
obviously very seriously, right?

44:12.040 --> 44:13.000
You know, we're not like a bunch,

44:13.000 --> 44:15.120
you know, we're not a bunch of Catholics in here,

44:15.120 --> 44:20.120
you know, doing it as a ritual every time we come in

44:20.120 --> 44:22.160
and basically watering it down, in my opinion,

44:22.160 --> 44:23.000
and degrading it.

44:23.000 --> 44:23.820
And of course, you know,

44:23.820 --> 44:25.040
they're not actually keeping the Lord's Supper.

44:25.040 --> 44:27.680
They're blaspheming Christ every time they do it.

44:28.920 --> 44:31.680
But, you know, there's no timetable for it.

44:31.680 --> 44:35.520
So if you wanna do it on a Tuesday, it's fine.

44:35.520 --> 44:37.040
If you wanna do it on a Thursday, it's fine.

44:37.040 --> 44:38.000
If you wanna do it once a month,

44:38.000 --> 44:40.120
if you wanna do it twice a year, once a year,

44:40.120 --> 44:41.520
you know, once a decade,

44:41.520 --> 44:43.520
if you wanna do it like the census,

44:43.520 --> 44:45.720
you know, the Bible doesn't say anything about that, right?

44:45.720 --> 44:48.520
It says, as often as that, do it.

44:48.520 --> 44:50.280
And so there's no timetable.

44:50.280 --> 44:51.120
So guess what?

44:51.120 --> 44:52.960
You don't have to do it on the Sabbath.

44:52.960 --> 44:54.800
You can do it whenever you want.

44:54.800 --> 44:55.620
Why?

44:55.620 --> 44:57.300
Because in the New Testament,

44:57.300 --> 44:58.680
we're not observing times,

44:58.680 --> 44:59.840
we're not looking at the calendar,

44:59.840 --> 45:02.320
we're not trying to figure out when the next full moon is.

45:02.320 --> 45:03.920
Okay, we're not doing that kind of stuff

45:03.920 --> 45:04.960
in the New Testament.

45:08.160 --> 45:13.160
Go ahead and turn to Colossians chapter number one,

45:13.240 --> 45:14.920
Colossians chapter number one.

45:14.920 --> 45:17.660
And the New Testament, not only does it say,

45:19.940 --> 45:21.920
not only does it say, hey,

45:21.920 --> 45:24.380
the Old Testament is done away with,

45:25.600 --> 45:28.640
the New Testament directly says,

45:28.640 --> 45:30.360
we're not supposed to be keeping the covenant anymore,

45:30.360 --> 45:31.200
or excuse me,

45:31.200 --> 45:35.040
we're not supposed to be keeping the Sabbath anymore.

45:35.040 --> 45:39.400
It says, we're in Colossians chapter number two,

45:39.400 --> 45:41.600
look at verse number 10.

45:42.460 --> 45:45.980
It says, and you're complete in him,

45:45.980 --> 45:50.200
who is the head of all principalities and powers,

45:50.200 --> 45:53.640
and whom also ye are circumcised

45:53.640 --> 45:56.920
with a circumcision made without hands,

45:56.920 --> 46:00.600
in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh

46:00.600 --> 46:03.360
by the circumcision of Christ,

46:03.360 --> 46:05.120
buried with him in baptism,

46:05.120 --> 46:08.400
where and also you're risen with him

46:08.400 --> 46:11.160
through the faith of the operation of God,

46:11.160 --> 46:14.000
who has raised him from the dead,

46:14.000 --> 46:17.000
and you being dead in your sins,

46:17.000 --> 46:19.320
and in the uncircumcision of your flesh,

46:19.320 --> 46:21.360
hath he quickened together with him,

46:21.360 --> 46:24.200
having forgiven you all trespasses.

46:24.200 --> 46:25.920
By the way, that's a great verse right there,

46:25.960 --> 46:29.120
he's forgiven you all trespasses if you trust him, right?

46:29.120 --> 46:31.560
It says, blotting out the handwriting of notice this,

46:31.560 --> 46:34.500
ordinances that was against us,

46:34.500 --> 46:36.400
which was contrary to us,

46:36.400 --> 46:38.280
and took it out of the way,

46:38.280 --> 46:40.120
nailing it to his cross,

46:40.120 --> 46:42.840
and having spoiled principalities and powers,

46:42.840 --> 46:44.040
and he made a show of them,

46:44.040 --> 46:48.620
openly triumphing over them in it,

46:48.620 --> 46:50.700
let no man, notice this,

46:50.700 --> 46:54.880
let no man therefore judge you in meats,

46:54.880 --> 46:58.680
or in drink, or in respect of an holy day,

46:58.680 --> 47:01.920
notice this, or of the new moon,

47:01.920 --> 47:04.140
or of the Sabbath day,

47:05.160 --> 47:08.000
which are a shadow of things to come,

47:08.000 --> 47:10.600
but the body is of Christ.

47:10.600 --> 47:12.960
Now, Seventh-day Adventists,

47:12.960 --> 47:14.440
and these other different groups,

47:14.440 --> 47:16.200
like these Hebrew roots people,

47:16.200 --> 47:18.160
that are observing the Sabbath,

47:18.160 --> 47:21.040
and they're sitting for pork and these different things,

47:22.320 --> 47:23.880
if you point these verses out to them,

47:23.880 --> 47:24.720
they'll be like,

47:25.600 --> 47:27.600
those verses are telling you to let no man judge you

47:27.600 --> 47:29.160
when you're keeping the Sabbath.

47:30.160 --> 47:32.480
They're like, hey, we're keeping the Sabbath,

47:32.480 --> 47:35.040
and you're judging us for that.

47:35.040 --> 47:38.300
And so, the Bible's on our side,

47:38.300 --> 47:40.660
because we're not gonna let you judge us,

47:40.660 --> 47:42.400
because we're keeping the Sabbath.

47:43.240 --> 47:45.240
Which is the complete opposite

47:45.240 --> 47:47.640
of what the Bible actually says.

47:47.640 --> 47:49.880
Because if we notice,

47:51.200 --> 47:52.440
earlier in the chapter,

47:53.240 --> 47:55.760
you know, he's saying, hey, guess what?

47:55.760 --> 48:00.760
You're circumcised with a circumcision without hands.

48:01.720 --> 48:04.560
And what is a major problem

48:05.560 --> 48:07.760
that was going on in early Christianity?

48:08.640 --> 48:10.040
A bunch of Judaizers, right?

48:10.040 --> 48:11.760
Running around trying to get people to get circumcised.

48:11.760 --> 48:13.680
I mean, that's like what the whole book of Galatians

48:13.680 --> 48:14.560
is about, right?

48:14.560 --> 48:17.000
Judaizers coming in, trying to circumcise people,

48:17.000 --> 48:19.760
and trying to preach a false doctrine about salvation,

48:19.760 --> 48:21.360
and you have to keep the law in order to be saved,

48:21.360 --> 48:23.080
and all this garbage.

48:23.080 --> 48:24.160
But he's saying, hey, guess what?

48:24.160 --> 48:25.900
You're circumcised without hands.

48:25.900 --> 48:27.120
But notice this, you know, it says,

48:27.120 --> 48:30.160
blotting out the handwriting of ordinances.

48:30.160 --> 48:31.000
That was against us.

48:31.000 --> 48:32.420
Now, what does that sound like?

48:33.720 --> 48:36.600
That sounds like the Old Covenant, right?

48:36.600 --> 48:38.800
Which he's blotting out, right?

48:38.800 --> 48:41.240
I mean, that handwriting of ordinances,

48:41.240 --> 48:45.560
I mean, that is all of the ordinances in the Old Testament

48:45.560 --> 48:49.500
that were a representation of Jesus Christ for him to come.

48:49.500 --> 48:50.880
That's what that is talking about.

48:50.880 --> 48:52.360
The handwriting of ordinances.

48:53.360 --> 48:55.760
And notice this, it was against us,

48:55.760 --> 48:57.480
which was contrary to us,

48:57.480 --> 49:01.800
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.

49:01.800 --> 49:06.800
So Jesus, he took those things out of the way,

49:06.880 --> 49:08.400
and according to the Bible,

49:08.400 --> 49:12.540
the Sabbath is part of one of those ordinances, amen?

49:12.540 --> 49:14.600
I mean, it's part of the Old Covenant.

49:14.600 --> 49:15.680
It's part of the Old Testament,

49:15.680 --> 49:20.640
and so those things are taken away.

49:21.360 --> 49:23.640
Because those things are taken away,

49:23.640 --> 49:26.500
we no longer have to observe any of those things.

49:26.500 --> 49:29.440
We no longer have to abstain from pork.

49:29.440 --> 49:34.040
We no longer have to eat only the clean animals,

49:34.040 --> 49:36.920
that part the hoof and chew the cud.

49:37.960 --> 49:40.260
We no longer have to worry about

49:40.260 --> 49:42.680
what stage the moon is in, right?

49:42.680 --> 49:47.680
We don't have to worry about any of these holy days.

49:47.840 --> 49:49.080
The New Testament doesn't command us

49:49.080 --> 49:51.000
to observe any holidays.

49:51.000 --> 49:52.240
You know, there's actually no command

49:52.240 --> 49:53.960
to celebrate Christmas.

49:53.960 --> 49:56.400
There's actually no command to celebrate Easter.

49:57.840 --> 49:59.120
We do do those things

49:59.120 --> 50:01.040
because there's nothing wrong with celebrating Easter,

50:01.040 --> 50:02.800
and there's nothing wrong with celebrating Christmas,

50:02.800 --> 50:05.800
and I think there are very positive, healthy things to do.

50:05.800 --> 50:08.100
And I'm not gonna let any man judge me

50:08.100 --> 50:10.320
for celebrating Christmas or Easter,

50:10.320 --> 50:11.280
and I'm gonna call it Easter.

50:11.280 --> 50:13.000
I like calling it Easter.

50:13.000 --> 50:14.080
That's my favorite thing to call it.

50:14.080 --> 50:16.400
I'm gonna call it Easter till the day I die.

50:16.400 --> 50:18.560
If nothing else is just to tick off the people,

50:18.560 --> 50:20.480
they're like, oh, it's Resurrection Day.

50:20.480 --> 50:21.440
Now look, there's nothing wrong

50:21.440 --> 50:23.200
with calling it Resurrection Day either.

50:23.200 --> 50:24.780
That's a good term.

50:24.780 --> 50:26.520
But, you know, anyway,

50:27.400 --> 50:29.480
I'm gonna get off on a rabbit trail there.

50:30.640 --> 50:34.940
But, you know, Christians in the early church, right,

50:34.940 --> 50:39.080
there's all these Jews that are judging them

50:39.080 --> 50:43.180
for eating pork and for not keeping the Sabbath.

50:43.180 --> 50:44.020
Amen?

50:44.020 --> 50:47.840
And so that is what this passage

50:47.880 --> 50:49.000
is actually talking about.

50:49.000 --> 50:52.200
And further proof of that, look at verse number 17, right?

50:52.200 --> 50:53.800
Because it lists off all these things.

50:53.800 --> 50:56.920
It says, hey, let no man judge you therefore,

50:58.200 --> 51:00.280
judge you in meats or in drinks

51:00.280 --> 51:03.220
or in respect of the Holy Day or of the New Moon

51:03.220 --> 51:05.280
or of the Sabbath days, right?

51:05.280 --> 51:07.680
The Bible says, hey, don't let anybody judge you for that.

51:07.680 --> 51:08.880
They're gonna say, oh, no, no, no,

51:08.880 --> 51:10.880
that means when we keep the Sabbath,

51:10.880 --> 51:12.600
you're not supposed to be judging us.

51:12.600 --> 51:14.480
And in fact, you're supposed to be keeping the Sabbath

51:14.480 --> 51:16.040
with us.

51:16.040 --> 51:17.840
But what does verse number 17 say?

51:18.800 --> 51:22.780
It says, which are a shadow of things to come,

51:22.780 --> 51:24.280
but the body is of Christ.

51:24.280 --> 51:28.320
Now, if we're supposed to be keeping the Sabbath

51:28.320 --> 51:31.520
in the New Testament, what is it a shadow of?

51:32.960 --> 51:37.160
What future event are we foreshadowing here

51:37.160 --> 51:38.320
by keeping the Sabbath?

51:39.440 --> 51:41.360
And keeping the New Moon, by the way,

51:41.360 --> 51:45.720
and also, you know, abstaining from pork

51:45.760 --> 51:50.560
and, you know, having drink offerings, right?

51:50.560 --> 51:53.120
And respecting all these holy, keeping all the old.

51:54.360 --> 51:55.200
What's going on here?

51:55.200 --> 51:56.840
What's it a shadow of?

51:57.880 --> 51:58.720
Nothing.

52:00.000 --> 52:02.320
Because you know what these things are a shadow of?

52:02.320 --> 52:05.160
They are a shadow of Jesus Christ.

52:05.160 --> 52:06.800
Because guess what?

52:06.800 --> 52:10.680
The thing that these are a shadow of came.

52:10.680 --> 52:12.440
It's happened already.

52:12.440 --> 52:16.040
Jesus Christ came, He did the work to pay for our sins,

52:16.040 --> 52:17.840
and we simply rest in Him.

52:17.840 --> 52:18.920
That's what it's a picture of.

52:18.920 --> 52:20.480
That's what it's a shadow of.

52:20.480 --> 52:22.320
Because otherwise, what are we waiting for?

52:22.320 --> 52:24.640
I mean, what is the point of the Sabbath

52:24.640 --> 52:27.440
in the Old Testament or the New Testament

52:27.440 --> 52:30.280
when the Bible says it's a shadow of something?

52:30.280 --> 52:31.360
What's a shadow of?

52:32.860 --> 52:34.400
I don't know.

52:34.400 --> 52:35.540
Nobody knows.

52:35.540 --> 52:37.280
We're still trying to figure it out.

52:37.280 --> 52:38.760
Science has yet to figure out

52:38.760 --> 52:40.160
what the Sabbath is a shadow of

52:40.160 --> 52:42.600
because we have no idea what it is.

52:42.600 --> 52:44.000
Because we're still observing it,

52:44.000 --> 52:46.080
and we're just ignoring the obvious fact

52:46.080 --> 52:47.880
that it's a picture of Jesus Christ.

52:49.160 --> 52:51.320
And we don't believe God's word when He says,

52:51.320 --> 52:53.240
hey, let no man judge you

52:53.240 --> 52:54.800
when you don't keep any of these things anymore

52:54.800 --> 52:56.800
because those things are done away with.

52:58.320 --> 53:00.880
Go ahead and turn to Galatians chapter number four.

53:00.880 --> 53:02.280
Galatians chapter number four.

53:03.480 --> 53:05.160
I'm out of the water.

53:07.080 --> 53:09.920
So it's rough preaching without water.

53:10.920 --> 53:13.640
A lot of times I'll just forget

53:13.640 --> 53:15.240
during the whole sermon to ever ask for water.

53:15.240 --> 53:18.400
And by the end of it, I can't even open my mouth anymore.

53:19.480 --> 53:23.040
But Galatians chapter number four, verse number eight.

53:24.360 --> 53:27.520
It says, how be it then when ye knew not God,

53:27.520 --> 53:31.600
ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

53:31.600 --> 53:33.960
But now, after that ye have known God,

53:33.960 --> 53:35.880
or rather are known of God,

53:35.880 --> 53:39.800
how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements

53:40.680 --> 53:43.440
whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage.

53:43.440 --> 53:47.960
Ye observe days and months and times and years.

53:47.960 --> 53:49.520
I am afraid of you,

53:49.520 --> 53:53.240
lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain.

53:53.240 --> 53:55.760
So notice here in Galatians chapter number four,

53:55.760 --> 53:57.640
the apostle Paul, he's writing to them

53:57.640 --> 54:00.240
and he's telling them that he's afraid of them

54:00.240 --> 54:04.600
because they're observing days, months, times and years.

54:04.600 --> 54:06.760
Now, what would that,

54:06.760 --> 54:09.480
what would really be really similar to that?

54:10.040 --> 54:11.960
What would be an observation that people do

54:11.960 --> 54:14.240
that would make the apostle Paul afraid?

54:15.520 --> 54:17.720
Observing the Sabbath, right?

54:17.720 --> 54:19.600
Because isn't that observing a day?

54:20.480 --> 54:23.880
That's observing a day, that's observing a time, right?

54:23.880 --> 54:26.080
And so the apostle Paul,

54:26.080 --> 54:27.680
he's saying that he's afraid of them.

54:27.680 --> 54:30.480
And you know what, anybody out there

54:30.480 --> 54:35.480
that is observing the Sabbath day, I am afraid of them.

54:36.240 --> 54:40.640
That puts an automatic doubt on somebody's salvation

54:40.640 --> 54:41.920
when they're observing the Sabbath.

54:41.920 --> 54:46.440
It's like, do you believe in the New Testament?

54:46.440 --> 54:48.760
Do you believe in Jesus Christ?

54:48.760 --> 54:51.640
Why are you trying to keep the old covenant?

54:51.640 --> 54:53.200
I'm afraid of you.

54:53.200 --> 54:55.360
Just like the, I mean, this is a biblical thing

54:55.360 --> 54:58.040
because the apostle Paul says, hey, I'm afraid of you.

54:58.040 --> 54:59.400
What's going on?

54:59.400 --> 55:01.880
And people say, well, you know,

55:01.880 --> 55:03.920
these are just like unbiblical things

55:03.920 --> 55:04.760
that they're observing.

55:04.800 --> 55:09.800
They're observing all of these pagan holidays

55:10.480 --> 55:13.680
and these pagan times, and they're into paganism.

55:13.680 --> 55:15.040
That's what he's worried about.

55:15.040 --> 55:16.480
Not so, my friend.

55:16.480 --> 55:18.760
This is the book of Galatians.

55:18.760 --> 55:21.560
This is Galatians four.

55:21.560 --> 55:24.600
Now, what is the entire book of Galatians about?

55:24.600 --> 55:27.960
It's about the apostle Paul proving

55:27.960 --> 55:30.560
replacement theology, my friend.

55:30.560 --> 55:33.240
I mean, he starts out in chapter one,

55:33.280 --> 55:35.200
that they're preaching a different gospel.

55:35.200 --> 55:38.360
Chapter number two, they're trying to circumcise people.

55:38.360 --> 55:41.160
Now, do the heathen circumcise people?

55:41.160 --> 55:46.160
Is circumcision something that the pagans observe?

55:46.600 --> 55:50.200
Is that something that Hindus observe or Buddhists observe

55:50.200 --> 55:53.080
or people that are worshiping Zeus, you know,

55:53.080 --> 55:57.080
and Saturn and, you know, they're worshiping Jupiter?

55:57.080 --> 55:59.320
Are they circumcising anybody?

55:59.320 --> 56:00.920
Absolutely not.

56:00.920 --> 56:04.120
So what is the problem in the Galatians church?

56:04.120 --> 56:07.840
It's Judaizers, people creeping in,

56:07.840 --> 56:10.080
trying to bring in the old covenant.

56:10.080 --> 56:14.280
And notice he says he's bringing them back into bondage.

56:14.280 --> 56:17.600
And there's a huge theme in the New Testament

56:17.600 --> 56:22.200
of the New Testament bringing freedom from bondage.

56:22.200 --> 56:23.840
Now, what is that freedom from?

56:23.840 --> 56:27.840
That freedom is from the old covenant

56:27.840 --> 56:31.160
because, you know, the old covenant was that Yilkah bondage

56:31.160 --> 56:33.400
that was put upon the nation of Israel.

56:33.400 --> 56:35.800
And it was put upon, you know,

56:35.800 --> 56:37.840
the Jews in the Old Testament

56:37.840 --> 56:39.800
that they were supposed to be keeping the law.

56:39.800 --> 56:42.520
And by the way, they were supposed to keep the whole law.

56:42.520 --> 56:43.360
Right?

56:43.360 --> 56:45.040
And when you're breaking the law,

56:45.040 --> 56:47.280
it's like major problems, right?

56:47.280 --> 56:51.320
And so again, what was the point of all that?

56:52.760 --> 56:55.240
I mean, the whole point of the law in the Old Testament

56:55.240 --> 56:57.240
is to show you that you're not perfect.

56:58.040 --> 57:01.320
And that you need to trust in the Lord for salvation

57:01.320 --> 57:02.160
because guess what?

57:02.160 --> 57:03.360
You can't keep the law.

57:03.360 --> 57:07.560
Now, you know, obviously, you know, even in the New Testament,

57:07.560 --> 57:10.200
you know, we can't just do whatever we want, right?

57:10.200 --> 57:12.320
You know, it's not like, well, the entire law of God

57:12.320 --> 57:14.720
is completely known void and we don't have to observe

57:14.720 --> 57:15.560
any of it.

57:15.560 --> 57:16.840
There's no such thing as sin anymore.

57:16.840 --> 57:17.680
No, that's not true.

57:17.680 --> 57:18.720
That's right.

57:18.720 --> 57:20.680
Because all of the Old Testament laws

57:20.680 --> 57:23.400
that pertain to morality are still in effect.

57:23.400 --> 57:24.840
Thou shall not murder.

57:24.840 --> 57:26.600
You know, thou shall not covet.

57:27.440 --> 57:31.800
And the New Testament reiterates like a lot of these things.

57:31.800 --> 57:32.680
Okay.

57:32.680 --> 57:36.400
And so the moral law is still in effect

57:36.400 --> 57:39.320
and sin is still the transgression of the law.

57:39.320 --> 57:40.160
That's right.

57:40.160 --> 57:41.000
But guess what?

57:41.000 --> 57:42.680
That Old Covenant, which was supposed to be a picture

57:42.680 --> 57:45.160
of Jesus Christ is null and void.

57:45.160 --> 57:46.000
That's right.

57:46.000 --> 57:47.320
It's been done away with.

57:47.320 --> 57:48.160
It's gone.

57:49.640 --> 57:52.040
And so, you know, whenever people are trying to go back

57:52.040 --> 57:57.040
to that, you know, that's like an automatic major red flag.

57:57.640 --> 57:58.920
You know, and look, here's the thing.

57:58.920 --> 58:01.080
Like theoretically, you could have somebody who's saved

58:01.080 --> 58:03.000
get mixed up into some of these things.

58:03.000 --> 58:04.640
That's certainly a possibility.

58:04.640 --> 58:07.360
That's not out of the realm of possibility.

58:07.360 --> 58:09.480
You know, if somebody's observing a Sabbath,

58:09.480 --> 58:12.080
that doesn't automatically mean they're unsaved,

58:13.080 --> 58:17.440
but it's a red flag and it means that they're unlearned

58:17.440 --> 58:20.760
in the Bible and they don't know what they're talking about.

58:20.760 --> 58:21.720
But here's the thing.

58:21.720 --> 58:24.720
The people that are spreading and teaching this doctrine,

58:25.600 --> 58:29.360
like the architects of the Seventh-day Adventist Church

58:29.360 --> 58:32.600
and the architects of the Hebrew Roots Movement,

58:32.600 --> 58:35.000
you know, these people are unsaved.

58:35.000 --> 58:37.720
And they are false prophets.

58:37.720 --> 58:39.440
And they are wicked people.

58:39.440 --> 58:41.640
You know, people like Doug Batchelor, you know,

58:41.640 --> 58:43.640
basically he's like an apologist

58:43.640 --> 58:45.640
for the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

58:45.640 --> 58:49.400
And, you know, he runs around trying to disprove the Bible

58:49.440 --> 58:51.280
almost every time he turns around.

58:51.280 --> 58:52.880
You know, whenever there's a Bible doctrine

58:52.880 --> 58:55.520
that flies in the face of what the Seventh-day Adventist Church is,

58:55.520 --> 59:00.840
you know, they go through all kinds of mental gymnastics

59:00.840 --> 59:04.400
to get around clear verses in the Bible, right?

59:04.400 --> 59:07.000
And, you know, these are wicked evil people

59:07.000 --> 59:09.280
that deceive the simple.

59:09.280 --> 59:12.200
And, you know, particularly with the Sabbath,

59:12.200 --> 59:14.920
you know, what's the obvious thing they're going to do?

59:14.920 --> 59:18.000
They're going to go hang out in the Old Testament

59:18.000 --> 59:20.160
where you have all these powerful verses

59:20.160 --> 59:23.000
commanding the children of Israel to keep the Sabbath, right?

59:24.240 --> 59:26.160
And they're going to want you to do that same thing.

59:26.160 --> 59:27.720
Why aren't you doing that?

59:27.720 --> 59:29.960
You don't believe the Bible, what's wrong with you?

59:29.960 --> 59:32.080
Well, they're skipping over the whole New Testament

59:32.080 --> 59:34.200
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

59:34.200 --> 59:36.520
And we'll get back to that here in a little bit.

59:36.520 --> 59:40.360
You know, I'm getting ahead of myself here.

59:41.160 --> 59:44.600
Go ahead and turn to John chapter number five.

59:45.600 --> 59:46.920
John chapter number five.

59:48.600 --> 59:50.480
And so, you know, we've talked about, you know,

59:50.480 --> 59:52.480
in various different places in the sermon,

59:57.840 --> 01:00:01.560
you know, what the Sabbath is all about.

01:00:04.760 --> 01:00:06.880
And, you know, according to Jesus Christ,

01:00:07.840 --> 01:00:10.680
you know, who is it that's supposed to be keeping the Sabbath?

01:00:11.640 --> 01:00:14.200
Right, I'm going to demonstrate that here.

01:00:14.200 --> 01:00:17.760
It says in John chapter number five, look at verse number 16, it says,

01:00:44.200 --> 01:00:47.800
Father making himself equal with God.

01:00:47.800 --> 01:00:52.400
So what is it that Jesus said about him and God the Father?

01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:55.240
What are they doing on the Sabbath?

01:00:55.240 --> 01:00:56.920
They're working.

01:00:59.120 --> 01:01:01.320
Why? Because guess what?

01:01:02.480 --> 01:01:05.320
God's not the one that has to keep the Sabbath.

01:01:05.320 --> 01:01:08.400
We were the ones that were supposed to be keeping the Sabbath in the Old Testament.

01:01:08.400 --> 01:01:11.200
But guess what? We also keep the Sabbath in the New Testament.

01:01:11.200 --> 01:01:13.560
And I'm going to demonstrate that because guess what?

01:01:13.560 --> 01:01:16.040
As Bible believing Christians, as saved people,

01:01:16.920 --> 01:01:19.560
we actually do keep the Sabbath.

01:01:19.560 --> 01:01:24.440
But these Torah observing people, these these Hebrew roots movement people,

01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:28.000
these Seventh-day Adventists, they reject the Sabbath.

01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:32.080
Go ahead and turn to Hebrews chapter number four.

01:01:32.080 --> 01:01:34.880
Because what is the whole point of the Sabbath?

01:01:35.440 --> 01:01:41.480
Again, the whole point of the Sabbath is that we are supposed to cease from work.

01:01:41.840 --> 01:01:44.920
We're supposed to stop working.

01:01:45.320 --> 01:01:47.440
And what is that supposed to represent?

01:01:47.440 --> 01:01:51.320
That's supposed to represent what we do for our salvation.

01:01:52.560 --> 01:01:54.880
Do we do any works for our salvation?

01:01:55.800 --> 01:01:57.760
No, not one.

01:01:57.920 --> 01:02:00.640
And that is why and we and we read one of these verses,

01:02:00.640 --> 01:02:03.640
one of these commands in the Old Testament, where it's the death penalty

01:02:03.960 --> 01:02:05.640
for breaking the Sabbath.

01:02:05.640 --> 01:02:07.840
Now, that's a pretty severe punishment, isn't it?

01:02:08.040 --> 01:02:09.720
The death penalty.

01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:12.640
You're telling me that if you work on the wrong day,

01:02:13.240 --> 01:02:16.440
you get the same penalty as a murderer and a holo.

01:02:17.240 --> 01:02:20.000
What? Why? That makes no logical sense.

01:02:20.680 --> 01:02:22.760
Well, here's why, though.

01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:25.880
It's because it represents people

01:02:26.560 --> 01:02:31.760
rejecting God for their salvation and doing and trying to work their way to heaven,

01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:36.960
because what the Sabbath has always represented is salvation.

01:02:37.200 --> 01:02:39.560
The fact that Jesus does the work.

01:02:39.840 --> 01:02:42.040
God did the work. We don't.

01:02:42.720 --> 01:02:44.160
We don't do any work for our salvation.

01:02:44.160 --> 01:02:45.400
God did it all.

01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:48.640
And if you're trying to earn your salvation by working and paying for it,

01:02:48.640 --> 01:02:50.560
God's going to give you the spiritual death penalty.

01:02:50.560 --> 01:02:52.520
Yeah. And you will not go to heaven.

01:02:52.880 --> 01:02:54.960
He will not receive your offer.

01:02:54.960 --> 01:02:58.680
And so all these different groups that are teaching to keep the old covenant,

01:02:58.680 --> 01:03:00.480
they're teaching to keep the commandment.

01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:02.440
What do they always have in common?

01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:04.480
Works based salvation.

01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:07.360
They're teaching works.

01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:10.240
Hebrews, chapter number four, look at verse number one, it says,

01:03:10.240 --> 01:03:13.880
Let us therefore fear lest a promise

01:03:14.720 --> 01:03:17.920
being left us of entering into his rest.

01:03:18.560 --> 01:03:23.440
Any of you should seem to come short of it, for unto us was the gospel preached

01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:25.560
as well as unto them.

01:03:25.560 --> 01:03:28.960
But the word preached did not profit them being

01:03:29.480 --> 01:03:32.160
not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

01:03:32.400 --> 01:03:34.760
So, you know, people can hear the gospel all day long,

01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:37.360
but if they don't put their faith in it, does it profit?

01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:41.960
No, it doesn't profit them because they didn't put their faith in it.

01:03:42.840 --> 01:03:46.560
It says, for we which have believed to enter into his rest.

01:03:46.560 --> 01:03:50.160
Notice we which have believed.

01:03:50.600 --> 01:03:55.040
Right. Not not he who has kept the Sabbath,

01:03:55.200 --> 01:03:59.600
not who has kept the old covenant, not who has been a really good person,

01:03:59.680 --> 01:04:02.400
not who has kept all the commandments of God and followed him

01:04:02.600 --> 01:04:04.680
and gave their life over to Christ.

01:04:04.680 --> 01:04:09.960
No, it's he which have believed to enter into what is it?

01:04:10.600 --> 01:04:14.120
Rest. They're entering into rest.

01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:19.520
And he said, as I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest,

01:04:19.520 --> 01:04:23.360
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world,

01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:27.680
for he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise.

01:04:27.760 --> 01:04:30.880
And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

01:04:31.640 --> 01:04:36.160
And in this place again, if they shall enter into my rest,

01:04:36.840 --> 01:04:40.280
seeing therefore remaineth that some must enter therein

01:04:41.040 --> 01:04:47.000
and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief.

01:04:48.200 --> 01:04:52.000
They didn't enter into his rest because of unbelief.

01:04:53.800 --> 01:04:56.080
Only they had just kept the Sabbath the way they were supposed to.

01:04:57.760 --> 01:05:01.000
Brahma. It's because they didn't trust God.

01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:03.600
That's why they didn't enter in.

01:05:03.600 --> 01:05:07.040
That's why a lot of children of Israel from the Old Testament,

01:05:07.040 --> 01:05:09.400
a lot of them went to hell, probably most of them.

01:05:10.120 --> 01:05:13.000
Why? Because of unbelief.

01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:15.960
They didn't trust God.

01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:18.400
They're like, no, no, no, no, we're going to go to heaven because we kept the law.

01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:20.840
Do you see how awesome we kept the law, God?

01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:23.480
I mean, we did we did we did this sacrifice and that sacrifice.

01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:25.760
And did you see how awesome that lamb was?

01:05:25.800 --> 01:05:28.160
Not a single spot.

01:05:28.160 --> 01:05:30.640
We went over that thing with a microscope.

01:05:30.640 --> 01:05:33.440
Now, one hair on that little lamb was the wrong color.

01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:36.840
We I mean, this this is going to be the best sacrifice ever.

01:05:37.720 --> 01:05:39.400
People are trusting in that.

01:05:39.400 --> 01:05:41.400
They went straight to hell, my friend.

01:05:41.400 --> 01:05:44.520
That lamb is a picture of Jesus Christ.

01:05:45.040 --> 01:05:48.600
Right. That lamb that Abel brought that pleased God.

01:05:49.320 --> 01:05:53.320
That was a picture of Jesus Christ and a picture of his blood.

01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:54.520
That's why it's a blood sacrifice.

01:05:54.520 --> 01:05:56.600
It's a picture of Jesus Christ blood.

01:05:56.600 --> 01:06:00.680
You know, Cain, he's bringing his vegetables,

01:06:01.080 --> 01:06:03.080
the work of his own hands, right?

01:06:04.200 --> 01:06:07.600
That's like saying, hey, God, I kept the Sabbath.

01:06:09.440 --> 01:06:11.560
I did all the animal sacrifices.

01:06:11.560 --> 01:06:13.280
I kept the old covenant.

01:06:13.280 --> 01:06:14.840
I kept the law.

01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:18.240
My righteousness came by the law.

01:06:18.240 --> 01:06:21.320
Death penalty, spiritual death penalty for that.

01:06:21.720 --> 01:06:24.320
Not saved, not going to heaven.

01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:26.320
It says what verse was I in?

01:06:26.320 --> 01:06:27.720
Does anybody know?

01:06:28.720 --> 01:06:31.800
Yeah, you are in verse

01:06:31.800 --> 01:06:33.920
then verse six, the end of verse six.

01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:36.560
I'm glad Brother Ryan's paying attention.

01:06:36.560 --> 01:06:38.600
Everybody else is nodding off. That's OK.

01:06:38.600 --> 01:06:40.720
I've got Ryan to I've got Ryan to help me out.

01:06:40.720 --> 01:06:43.600
All right. It says again, verse number seven.

01:06:43.600 --> 01:06:47.120
Again, he limited the certain day saying in David today,

01:06:47.400 --> 01:06:50.040
after so long a time, as I said today,

01:06:50.280 --> 01:06:52.520
if you will hear his voice, harden all your hearts.

01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:55.160
For if Jesus had given them rest,

01:06:55.160 --> 01:06:57.720
then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:01.920
There remained it, therefore, a rest to the people of God.

01:07:02.600 --> 01:07:05.080
For he that is entered into his rest,

01:07:05.400 --> 01:07:07.080
he also have ceased.

01:07:07.080 --> 01:07:12.720
Notice this, ceased from his own works as God did from his.

01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:15.560
You see, that's why God sees from his works

01:07:16.120 --> 01:07:19.120
so that it could be a picture of what we were supposed to do for our salvation.

01:07:19.320 --> 01:07:22.360
We're supposed to cease from our works.

01:07:22.360 --> 01:07:24.960
Let us labor, therefore, to enter into his rest,

01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:28.880
lest any man fall after that same example of unbelief.

01:07:29.240 --> 01:07:32.280
And look, you know, the verse number 11 is so funny to me.

01:07:32.760 --> 01:07:36.480
It's like, you know, all of these different Judaizers are out there.

01:07:36.480 --> 01:07:40.280
They're like, we're resting on to the we're resting on the Sabbath

01:07:40.480 --> 01:07:42.920
to enter, to get into heaven.

01:07:42.920 --> 01:07:46.680
And we're earning our way to salvation because we just we just obeyed God.

01:07:47.040 --> 01:07:50.400
We obeyed God and kept all the commandments, including the Sabbath.

01:07:50.400 --> 01:07:54.400
And we're we're going to we're going to enter into God's rest when we go to heaven.

01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:58.440
Yeah. And it's like, I was like, hey, you know, why don't you labor

01:07:58.680 --> 01:07:59.480
to enter into the rest?

01:07:59.480 --> 01:08:03.320
Why don't you forget about the Sabbath and start working on the Sabbath

01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:05.840
and start and forget about your stupid righteousness,

01:08:05.840 --> 01:08:07.800
which isn't going to get you anywhere but hell.

01:08:07.800 --> 01:08:10.120
Why don't you labor and enter into his rest?

01:08:10.200 --> 01:08:12.120
How about you do that instead?

01:08:12.120 --> 01:08:15.680
Instead of thinking that you, oh, I kept I rest on the Sabbath day, God.

01:08:15.680 --> 01:08:17.200
I'm going to I'm going to make it into heaven.

01:08:17.200 --> 01:08:19.400
No, why don't you just forget about that?

01:08:19.680 --> 01:08:21.440
Why don't you just forget about your own righteousness?

01:08:21.440 --> 01:08:25.360
Forget about your, you know, your works that you think are getting into heaven

01:08:25.360 --> 01:08:27.600
and keeping, including Sabbath keeping.

01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:29.120
Why don't you just go to work on the Sabbath?

01:08:29.120 --> 01:08:32.080
Forget about that and enter into his rest.

01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:34.480
Because guess what?

01:08:34.480 --> 01:08:36.920
You know, you can you can have an eternal Sabbath.

01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:38.600
You can never work again.

01:08:38.600 --> 01:08:40.720
Right. Or you can work every single day of your life.

01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:43.000
Once you're saved, you're going to heaven.

01:08:43.000 --> 01:08:45.680
Why? Because your work has nothing to do with it.

01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:47.640
That's why it's called rest.

01:08:47.640 --> 01:08:49.760
That's why it's called having entered into his rest.

01:08:50.120 --> 01:08:55.720
So whether or not I observe the Old Testament Sabbath or not,

01:08:57.040 --> 01:08:59.240
I'm already in I'm already in rest.

01:08:59.240 --> 01:09:01.280
I'm in a state of rest. Yeah.

01:09:01.280 --> 01:09:05.280
OK. Why? Because I'm not working to go to heaven, my friend. Amen.

01:09:05.920 --> 01:09:07.280
I'm relaxing.

01:09:07.280 --> 01:09:10.480
I'm I'm like on a beach chair in Jesus's hand. Yeah.

01:09:10.920 --> 01:09:13.960
And he's like he's like my escalator taking me up to heaven.

01:09:13.960 --> 01:09:15.400
I'm just relaxing.

01:09:15.400 --> 01:09:17.200
You know, I've got I'm laid back.

01:09:17.200 --> 01:09:19.520
I've got I've got I've got a coconut.

01:09:19.520 --> 01:09:22.200
It doesn't have any coconut juice in it because that's an abomination.

01:09:22.560 --> 01:09:24.440
You know, it's got like something else in there.

01:09:24.440 --> 01:09:26.560
It's got like apple cider or something. Right.

01:09:26.560 --> 01:09:27.960
You know, I'm sipping on there.

01:09:27.960 --> 01:09:31.360
It's got a little little little mini umbrella.

01:09:31.360 --> 01:09:33.000
I don't know why that's in there.

01:09:33.000 --> 01:09:36.240
But, you know, I'm just relaxing. Right.

01:09:36.280 --> 01:09:39.120
I'm resting because I guess what?

01:09:39.120 --> 01:09:41.920
I don't have to worry about keeping the law to go to heaven.

01:09:42.440 --> 01:09:46.240
The only thing I got to worry about is hopefully God doesn't spank me too hard

01:09:46.240 --> 01:09:47.560
before I go to heaven.

01:09:47.560 --> 01:09:49.720
You know, and how do I avoid getting spanked by God?

01:09:49.720 --> 01:09:52.040
Well, I just you know, I keep all the commandments

01:09:52.040 --> 01:09:54.240
that are required to me in the New Testament.

01:09:54.240 --> 01:09:55.720
But guess what?

01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:59.160
Sacrificing animals, doing burnt offerings, making loaves of bread,

01:09:59.160 --> 01:10:02.120
sprinkling frankincense and keeping the Sabbath is not one of them.

01:10:03.240 --> 01:10:04.720
It's not one of them. Right.

01:10:06.760 --> 01:10:09.720
So let us labor to enter into his rest.

01:10:10.920 --> 01:10:13.760
And guess what? Once once we're once we're in that state of rest.

01:10:14.360 --> 01:10:16.760
You know, we're on our way to heaven.

01:10:17.240 --> 01:10:19.680
We don't have to keep any of the laws.

01:10:19.680 --> 01:10:21.080
That's why it's called rest.

01:10:21.080 --> 01:10:24.720
And that's the whole point of the Sabbath in the Old Testament.

01:10:25.680 --> 01:10:29.640
But go ahead and turn to Exodus, chapter number five, Exodus,

01:10:30.360 --> 01:10:31.960
chapter number five.

01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:33.480
I haven't been too long.

01:10:33.480 --> 01:10:35.360
We're almost to the end of the sermon.

01:10:36.560 --> 01:10:37.600
Exit, chapter number five.

01:10:37.600 --> 01:10:43.360
But the Bible, you know, this just popped out at me when I was reading it.

01:10:43.440 --> 01:10:46.640
It popped out at me when I was reading this here a few weeks ago.

01:10:47.320 --> 01:10:52.600
And, you know, this like just kind of jumped off the page at me.

01:10:52.600 --> 01:10:56.480
And this is, you know, I'm going to show the attitude

01:10:56.480 --> 01:10:58.560
of people that are that are teaching.

01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:00.400
You have to observe the Sabbath.

01:11:00.400 --> 01:11:02.640
This is their attitude right here.

01:11:02.640 --> 01:11:06.080
In Exodus, chapter number five, it says, verse number one, it says,

01:11:06.080 --> 01:11:11.040
and afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh,

01:11:11.040 --> 01:11:15.720
Pharaoh saith the Lord God of Israel, let my people go,

01:11:16.560 --> 01:11:21.200
that they may excuse me, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

01:11:21.680 --> 01:11:26.720
And Pharaoh said, who is the Lord that I should obey his voice to let Israel go?

01:11:27.360 --> 01:11:30.880
I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.

01:11:31.320 --> 01:11:35.040
And they said, the God of Hebrews has met with us.

01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:39.280
Let us go, we pray thee, three days journey into the desert

01:11:39.280 --> 01:11:45.040
and sacrifice unto the Lord our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.

01:11:45.880 --> 01:11:48.120
Notice this, and the king of Egypt said unto them,

01:11:48.760 --> 01:11:53.520
wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their work

01:11:54.600 --> 01:11:56.800
get you unto your burdens?

01:11:56.800 --> 01:12:00.600
And Pharaoh said, behold, the people of the land now are many,

01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:03.320
and ye make them to rest from their burdens.

01:12:03.320 --> 01:12:06.320
You don't want to keep the Old Covenant anymore?

01:12:06.320 --> 01:12:09.920
You need to get back to the Old Covenant, you need to get back into the burden,

01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:11.520
get back under the yoke of bondage.

01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:13.240
What are you trying to go and rest for?

01:12:13.240 --> 01:12:16.360
You're trying to relieve people from the burden of the Old Covenant?

01:12:16.840 --> 01:12:19.480
Get back to your Sabbath keeping, get back to your sacrifices,

01:12:19.480 --> 01:12:21.240
get back to your Old Testament rituals.

01:12:21.240 --> 01:12:23.240
What are you doing trying to get away from that?

01:12:24.040 --> 01:12:26.040
Who is the Lord? Who is Jesus?

01:12:26.040 --> 01:12:28.360
What's the New Testament? Never heard of it.

01:12:28.360 --> 01:12:29.960
Get back to the Sabbath.

01:12:30.520 --> 01:12:32.920
Get back to the Old Testament Sabbath keeping now.

01:12:32.920 --> 01:12:39.000
This is the same attitude, the attitude that Pharaoh had for letting the people go.

01:12:40.360 --> 01:12:43.800
I mean, we're looking at the Jews and the Judaizers and the Seventh-day Adventists.

01:12:43.800 --> 01:12:46.200
We're like, hey, let the people go.

01:12:46.520 --> 01:12:47.880
Stop teaching them lies.

01:12:47.880 --> 01:12:48.680
That's good.

01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:51.240
And just stop making them be vegetarians.

01:12:51.240 --> 01:12:54.440
Like this is, you know, what in the world? What a burden.

01:12:56.440 --> 01:12:57.240
Stop.

01:12:57.800 --> 01:12:59.640
I got to stop.

01:13:00.360 --> 01:13:01.640
Let my people go.

01:13:02.920 --> 01:13:03.160
Right.

01:13:04.440 --> 01:13:06.600
Let us rest from our burdens.

01:13:07.640 --> 01:13:09.640
And that's what the New Testament's about, my friend.

01:13:10.360 --> 01:13:14.040
It's about getting out from under the oak of the Old Testament

01:13:14.040 --> 01:13:18.440
and getting under the New Testament where it's, you know,

01:13:19.240 --> 01:13:21.800
obviously salvation has always been easy,

01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:25.720
but we're no longer required to keep all those Old Testament ordinances.

01:13:26.280 --> 01:13:27.240
It's not required.

01:13:27.880 --> 01:13:32.840
And I would say it is extremely evil and sinful to teach

01:13:33.400 --> 01:13:35.800
that God still wants you to keep those things.

01:13:35.800 --> 01:13:36.360
That's wrong.

01:13:36.920 --> 01:13:38.040
That's evil.

01:13:38.040 --> 01:13:41.320
And so they have the same attitude as Pharaoh in the Old Testament.

01:13:41.320 --> 01:13:43.720
He wants to keep people under the burden.

01:13:46.760 --> 01:13:50.600
But in Hebrews chapter number six, verse number one, it says,

01:13:50.600 --> 01:13:53.320
therefore, leaving the principalities of the doctrines of Christ,

01:13:53.320 --> 01:13:54.920
let us go on under perfection.

01:13:55.720 --> 01:14:01.400
Not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and a faith toward God.

01:14:02.120 --> 01:14:02.920
Right.

01:14:02.920 --> 01:14:05.800
So, you know, we're supposed to repent of our dead works.

01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:10.520
And, you know, these people, they believe that they're going to heaven

01:14:10.520 --> 01:14:12.520
because they've kept all the commandments of the Lord.

01:14:13.800 --> 01:14:17.320
And that, you know, they believe they're going to heaven because of what they have done.

01:14:17.320 --> 01:14:21.560
And they have rejected the death, burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

01:14:22.680 --> 01:14:24.360
They need to repent of those dead works.

01:14:25.480 --> 01:14:29.320
And simply rest in what Jesus Christ did.

01:14:30.280 --> 01:14:32.920
You know, and they need to throw off that yoke of Pharaoh.

01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:37.400
You know, these Judaizers, you know, they want to pretend like they're,

01:14:37.400 --> 01:14:39.400
you know, they're the God's chosen people or whatever.

01:14:40.360 --> 01:14:41.960
No, you're more like Pharaoh.

01:14:43.080 --> 01:14:46.440
You're like Pharaoh trying to put God's people into bondage.

01:14:47.320 --> 01:14:47.960
You know what?

01:14:47.960 --> 01:14:53.800
And it's in the New Testament, it's a lot easier to get out from underneath the yoke of Pharaoh

01:14:53.800 --> 01:14:55.000
than it was for them.

01:14:55.000 --> 01:15:01.400
I mean, God had to bring in a lot of firepower to get to get Pharaoh to let them go.

01:15:02.040 --> 01:15:02.680
Right.

01:15:02.680 --> 01:15:04.120
I mean, all kinds of flames.

01:15:04.120 --> 01:15:05.400
I mean, it's crazy.

01:15:05.400 --> 01:15:10.120
Like, you know, there's flies coming in, there's just frogs popping up everywhere.

01:15:10.120 --> 01:15:12.760
You know, all the all the cow are getting wiped out.

01:15:12.760 --> 01:15:17.160
You know, there's locusts and thick darkness for three days.

01:15:17.160 --> 01:15:19.480
It's like all kinds of crazy stuff is going on.

01:15:19.480 --> 01:15:21.640
Everyone's firstborn son just gets killed.

01:15:21.640 --> 01:15:23.320
All the animals firstborn get killed.

01:15:23.320 --> 01:15:24.440
It's like this is insane.

01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:25.960
Fiery hail.

01:15:25.960 --> 01:15:26.440
Like, what?

01:15:27.800 --> 01:15:28.600
What is this?

01:15:30.040 --> 01:15:35.080
But in the New Testament, you know, the people, these people that have been put under the yoke

01:15:35.080 --> 01:15:40.120
of bondage by these false prophets, it's a lot easier because all they got to do is find out

01:15:40.120 --> 01:15:42.680
what the truth is and leave.

01:15:44.360 --> 01:15:45.160
That's all they got to do.

01:15:46.200 --> 01:15:50.840
They got to just stop going to these these Hebrew roots type movements.

01:15:51.400 --> 01:15:53.880
I don't know if they call them churches or whatever they call them.

01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:54.280
I don't know.

01:15:55.240 --> 01:15:56.680
But they need to disassociate.

01:15:56.680 --> 01:15:59.320
They just disassociate themselves from those people.

01:15:59.320 --> 01:16:00.840
You know, seven day of Venice.

01:16:00.840 --> 01:16:04.280
They just got to stop going to seven day of Venice church and go to a Baptist church

01:16:04.280 --> 01:16:06.360
where there's actual real Bible doctrine being taught.

01:16:07.080 --> 01:16:10.200
And, you know, everything isn't just the complete opposite of what the Bible teaches.

01:16:11.080 --> 01:16:15.240
And so, you know, it's a lot easier in the New Testament to get away from Pharaoh.

01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:18.840
But, you know, that's what people have to do, though.

01:16:19.800 --> 01:16:22.200
You know, they got to get away from Pharaoh.

01:16:22.200 --> 01:16:25.400
These Judaizers, I liken them unto Pharaoh.

01:16:25.400 --> 01:16:26.600
Get back to your burdens.

01:16:27.480 --> 01:16:30.440
No, no, my friend, I've entered in his rest.

01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:32.840
I'm resting on what Jesus Christ did.

01:16:32.840 --> 01:16:36.360
And so I'm observing the Sabbath 24-7.

01:16:37.400 --> 01:16:40.840
And so, but, you know, unfortunately for, you know, these other groups,

01:16:41.400 --> 01:16:44.840
they've never actually observed a real Sabbath in the New Testament.

01:16:45.400 --> 01:16:48.120
Because if you actually observe the Sabbath in the New Testament,

01:16:48.120 --> 01:16:52.360
that's by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and getting saved and entering into rest.

01:16:53.080 --> 01:16:55.880
Well, let's go ahead and bow our heads in a word of prayer.

01:16:55.880 --> 01:16:57.400
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day, Lord.

01:16:57.400 --> 01:16:58.760
I thank you for everything you've done for us, Lord.

01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:01.000
We thank you for the New Covenant that you've had for us.

01:17:01.000 --> 01:17:05.000
And we thank you that Jesus Christ did come and that he died and he was buried

01:17:05.000 --> 01:17:06.600
and that he rose again three days later.

01:17:07.480 --> 01:17:12.360
And by doing that, he started the New Testament and the New Covenant of our Lord,

01:17:12.360 --> 01:17:17.640
Savior Jesus Christ, and that we no longer have to observe times and weeks.

01:17:18.040 --> 01:17:20.040
And observe meets and drinks.

01:17:20.040 --> 01:17:26.440
And Lord, we just thank you that salvation is free and that we can just enter by having rest, Lord.

01:17:26.440 --> 01:17:27.480
In Jesus' name, amen.

01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:41.480
And in consumeralization, our last one is on number 12.

01:17:48.600 --> 01:17:50.440
Song number 12, Blessed Redeemer.

01:17:51.480 --> 01:17:53.480
Song number 12.

01:17:59.000 --> 01:18:01.000
Song number 12, let's get together on the first.

01:18:01.640 --> 01:18:07.640
Up Calvary's mountain, one dreadful morn.

01:18:07.640 --> 01:18:13.400
While Christ my Savior weary and mourn.

01:18:13.400 --> 01:18:19.160
Facing four sinners, death on the cross.

01:18:19.160 --> 01:18:23.560
That he might save them from endless loss.

01:18:25.080 --> 01:18:30.360
Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer.

01:18:31.080 --> 01:18:35.560
Seems now I see him on Calvary's tree.

01:18:37.800 --> 01:18:40.280
Wounded and bleeding.

01:18:41.080 --> 01:18:43.320
Four sinners pleading.

01:18:44.680 --> 01:18:47.000
Blind and unheeding.

01:18:47.720 --> 01:18:48.920
Dying for me.

01:18:50.840 --> 01:18:55.080
Father forgive them, thus did he pray.

01:18:56.840 --> 01:19:01.240
And while his life blood flowed fast away.

01:19:03.000 --> 01:19:07.400
Praying for sinners while in such woe.

01:19:08.360 --> 01:19:13.160
No one but Jesus ever loved so.

01:19:14.760 --> 01:19:20.280
Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer.

01:19:20.920 --> 01:19:25.400
Seems now I see him on Calvary's tree.

01:19:27.640 --> 01:19:29.640
Wounded and bleeding.

01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:32.840
Blind and unheeding.

01:19:34.440 --> 01:19:36.440
Blind and unheeding.

01:19:37.560 --> 01:19:39.560
Dying for me.

01:19:40.680 --> 01:19:45.400
Oh how I love him, Savior and friend.

01:19:47.000 --> 01:19:51.400
How can my praises ever find end.

01:19:53.080 --> 01:19:57.320
Through years unnumbered on heaven's shore.

01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:03.160
My tongue shall praise him forevermore.

01:20:04.120 --> 01:20:10.120
Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer.

01:20:11.080 --> 01:20:15.480
Seems now I see him on Calvary's tree.

01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:19.720
Wounded and bleeding.

01:20:20.840 --> 01:20:22.840
Four sinners pleading.

01:20:24.360 --> 01:20:26.360
Blind and unheeding.

01:20:27.240 --> 01:20:29.240
Dying for me.

01:20:30.040 --> 01:20:32.040
Amen. Good sermon.

01:20:32.280 --> 01:20:34.760
Brother Jason again, brother Ryan would you close with a prayer?

01:20:35.560 --> 01:20:39.560
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you God for this church and everyone here today.

01:20:39.560 --> 01:20:43.960
Lord I thank you that we entered in your rest by faith.

01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:48.760
I just pray God that you will take this home safe tonight.

01:20:48.760 --> 01:20:50.760
In Jesus' name, Amen.
