Just just one housekeeping thing. I wanted to bring up as well
We do allow our sanctuary to be open in between services on Sunday
And we have no problem with that, but we've noticed that unfortunately for several weeks now
a lot of times kids or somebody come in here and they just make messes in between the services and
it kind of causes an issue where people can't then like sit in parts of the sanctuary and stuff like
somehow water got spilled over the entire back row over here and
people are spilling water and cups and just doing all kinds of crazy stuff and it just it's not something our cleaning crew anybody can really take
Care of in between services. So if you can if you are gonna use our sanctuary
We please respect it to just not let your kids run around or spill cups or please clean up after yourself
It just really makes a big difference for us and we just don't want that to be an issue
So please please if you do use it, make sure you're watching your kids or if you make a mess
Please make sure you're cleaning up as best you can even spilling water everywhere
We can't always just clean that up right away either
So you might watch them limit their ability to do things like that
So if you please just help us with that, that would be a big big help
We're gonna go ahead and sing our psalm of the week psalm
146 psalm
146 that was psalm
146 psalm 146. Let's all sing it out together
In your Bibles to Genesis chapter 1 the book of Genesis chapter number one
This is chapter 1 the Bible says in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and the earth was without form and void and
darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters and
God said let there be light and there was light and God saw the light that it was good and God
divided the light from the darkness and God called the light day and the darkness
He called night and the evening and the morning were the first day and God said let there be a
firmament in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters and
God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament and it was so and
God called the firmament heaven and the evening and the morning were the second day and God said let the water
Under the heaven be gathered together until one place and let the dry land appear
And it was so and God called the dry land earth and the gathering together of the waters called
He sees and God saw that it was good and God said let the earth bring forth grass the herb yielding seed and
The fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind whose seed is in itself upon the earth
and it was so and the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after his kind and the tree yielding fruit whose seed was in
itself after his kind and God saw that it was good and the evening and the morning were the third day and God said let there
Be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night and let them be for signs and for seasons and for
Days and years and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth
And it was so and God made two great lights the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night
He made the stars also and God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth and
to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness and God saw that it was good and
the evening and the morning were the fourth day and God said let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life and
and foul that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven and God created great whales and every living creature that moveth
which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind and every winged foul after his kind and God saw that it was good
and God blessed them saying be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters and the seas and let foul multiply in the earth
and the evening and the morning were the fifth day and God said let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind
cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth after his kind and it was so and God made the beast of the earth after his kind
and cattle after their kind and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind and God saw that it was good
and God said let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea
and over the foul of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
so God created man in his own image in the image of God created he him male and female created he them
and God blessed them and God said unto them be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it
and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the foul of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth
and God said behold I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth
and every tree in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed to you it shall be for meat
and to every beast of the earth and to every foul of the air and to everything that creepeth upon the earth wherein there is life
I have given every green herb for meat and it was so and God saw everything that he had made and behold
It was very good and the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Let us pray dear heavenly father
Thank you for this day. Thank you for the souls that were saved
Thank you for the word of god and I ask you to bless pastor Shelly
Please give him wisdom to preach to us now in jesus name. Amen. Amen
I want to look at verse number 14 the bible says and god said let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven
To divide the day from the night
And let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years
And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven of the heaven to give light upon the earth and it was so
And god made two great lights
The greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars
also, so
In the book of genesis we get a lot of great doctrine
And this morning I preach a sermon about how men are the king of the castle
Well, if men are the king of the castle that would make women the queen of the castle
And the bible uses this carnal picture of a sun and a moon to picture the husband-wife relationship
Where the sun is likened under the husband who shines real bright and he's the greater light and then the moon
Is a lesser light, but we understand properties of the sun and moon are different
The sun is an actual light source it it emanates light from itself. It's generating light
The moon itself is not a light in the sense that it generates its own light. It simply only
Reflects the light of the sun. Of course, this is evident from the fact that we can actually see the
the moon
Cause eclipses if the moon was actually a light source
Then you could never have that you would never have the shadows on the moon
You never see a shadow on the sun the sun can be blocked
But the sun itself doesn't have any shadow or any casting on it because it's an actual light source
It's emanating light, but the moon it's a special material
That is highly reflective
The moon's surface and the dust of the of the moon is highly reflective so that it can shine very bright
It's where it looks like a legitimate light source
It looks almost as if it was a flashlight in the sky or something emanate great light
But it's only reflective now we know that because we went to the moon folks. Okay, all right now
I know you don't like that, but that's that's what I believe
Here's the thing though that we can know for sure is that the moon
Obviously is a light source like a light it brings light, but it's not a light source. It's simply reflective and
I think in the same way we can learn truths from this about how a wife is to be a wife is not to be a
Light source, but they're simply there to simply reflect the husband's light
They're there to just reflect the husband's wishes reflect what the husband wants
And so I have three simple points this evening is as the queen of the castle your primary job is simply to reflect
The light of your husband to reflect the glory of your husband the last point that I brought on my sermon
the king of the castle the husband is
Got a program and the wife is supposed to get on his program
So in a sense, that's the reflecting you're just simply getting on his program
And you're reflecting his wishes and what he wants to happen in the household and that's the only thing you reflect
You're not reflecting your own light. It's not about your wishes your wants what you desire. You're simply just
Reflecting what he wants now Jesus Christ is our example as Christians
He's an example to men. He's an example to children
He's also an example to women one of the greatest ways that Jesus Christ is an example for women is that what he said to the
Father not my will be done, but thine and in the same way
Wives should say not my will be done, but my husband's and that's where they're
Reflecting the will of their husband now notice though
What it said here in verse 16 and God made two great lights the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to
Rule the night the lesser light is still a ruler and a wife is still a ruler
It's still a position of authority and we don't look at the wife as being like a slave girl
Or only a servant. She's a queen
She's a second-place ruler in the household in the same way
You know God has this type of top-down authority structure and we see this in all the different institutions created
That's what's successful. You don't want to have a committee deciding things
In fact successful companies are run by a CEO. There's a guy in charge. We as a country are run by a president
There's a guy in charge. Okay, and when you have successful things you have a guy in charge
Even in the home though, you need a guy in charge
But when he's not there who's in charge the queen you have a queen
That's in charge and is the ruler and is to be respected as a ruler in the house of God
I as the pastor of this church, I am the overseer of the church
It's possible maybe even God willing in the future if our church continues to grow and we have more and more people
I can end up having an assistant pastor
But here's the thing the assistant pastor would not be the guy in charge
He'd be the second guy in charge
But in the same way wouldn't you show a lot of respect to the assistant pastor even if he's not the main guy
It is not the senior pastor when you still look at him as having a lot of respect and authority and treating him
Well, and when the main guy's not there that guy's the top dog. He's in charge of your respective in the same way
Children need to respect their mother as if you would respect that the assistant pastor in that in that context
It's still the ruler. It's still the one in charge
Children do not have any power over their mother
children are in complete subjection under the mother and she is the queen of the castle and as she's she's been
respected and she is that ruler that that demands authority for that position and children need to give that to
This woman I feel like there's this attitude that somehow women are beneath all men or something like that or or even young men
Might get this idea that they can talk down to their mothers
But you're wrong. Your mother is the authority over you and children are not in control in the household
and young men do not usurp the authority of their mother the mother is the the next ruler in line in
Succession and they only rule if you think about it
The the moon only rules when the Sun is not out and it's kind of like 50/50
You kind of have 50% of the time the Sun's ruling 50% of the time the moon's ruling and in a traditional
typical ideal household the man goes off to work and
Then comes home and so the man's kind of like a half ruler and the wife's kind of like a half ruler half the day
The wife's ruling half the day the husband's ruling when the husband's there
You can barely even see the Sun or so you see the moon
I'm sorry if the Sun's out you can't even really see the mood hardly because that's what's really ruling
That's what's dominating is the glory of the Sun in a sense when the husband's there. He's the one
Ruling and he's the one taking care of everything. So as a wife, it's important for you to reflect your husband's program
go to go to Esther chapter 5 go to Esther chapter 5 and
To an extreme now as a queen that doesn't mean that you don't serve as a king
It doesn't mean that we don't serve we still serve
They're still serving we shouldn't get this high and lofty attitude of well, I'm a king or I'm a queen
So therefore I don't have to do anything
No as Kings and Queens we still serve but obviously what what should the Queen do?
She should be serving her husband and she should be serving him and reflecting his wishes and his wants
Look at Esther chapter 5 verse 1 now it came to pass on the third day that Esther put on her royal
apparel and stood in the inner court of the King's house over against the King's house and
The King sat upon his royal throne in the royal house over against the gate of the house
And it was so when the King saw Esther the Queen standing in the court that she obtained favor in his
Sight now don't let this don't let this verse just pass you by Queen Esther has said absolutely
Nothing and yet the King already had some favor towards her based on one thing just looking at her now again
She put on her royal apparel, so she was looking good
You know what I mean she was looking good and that caused the husband caused the King to give favor
Unto his wife you know as a queen you should dress
To please the King and again the moon emanates the light of the sun so in the same way
You know whatever the King wants you to wear or the way the King wants you to present yourself
Should be how you present yourself notice
It's the royal apparel who makes that decision the King the King is like
I like the way I like you to look a certain way and so you should then
Reflect that whatever the husband wants you do that whatever a hairstyle
He likes you have that hairstyle whatever kind of makeup decisions. He likes. No. Yes, whatever you do
Whatever he likes whatever kind of outfits and whatever kind of things like you just you should just emanate
Whatever your husband wishes are and look you're gonna obtain favor in his sight. So you're just
Reflecting what the husband wishes and you're gonna obtain favor in his sight
It says the King held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand
So Esther junior and touched the top of the scepter. Maybe I didn't get a scepter in my house
That's that's been my problem, right?
Says then said the said the King unto her what will thou Queen Esther and what is thy request?
It shall be given thee to the half of the kingdom now. I think this is an interesting verse
There's other verses like it Harry kind of says something similar
It's almost like the King can't give all of the kingdom because he all he still has to have at least 50% or more
To show that he's the ruler but he can give up to half
So like the wife is still gonna rule stuff
But you know what you as the king you still have to make sure there's still things that you have
That you're in control of that you're ruling over
But he's willing to still give her think about this half of an entire kingdom that she could rule
That would be under her direct authority as the queen and you know as a king we often will
Give or outsource
Authority outsource activities outsource things unto our wives and say hey, this is your this is your domain
This is what you get you get this stuff and he's saying hey, what do you want?
You can have up to the half of the kingdom. You can't even pick here
Like what do you what would you like and that's your answer to have seemed good under the king let the king and Haman come
This day under the banquet that I've prepared for him. This is crazy
It's like what do you want anything you want up to half the kingdom?
She's like, I just want to make you a meal. I show you this story and we know this story
We've read it a lot. I just show you to make the one point as a queen. You can still make meals, right?
I mean, it's not like it's not like even the queen is exempt from preparing food just like the most basic
rudimentary wife duty just making a meal, but you know what even the queen
Prepares banquets even the queen prepares meals and serves meals. So, you know, don't don't allow
medial tasks to
To feel like you're downgraded in position like oh, I only make meals
Well, the Queen makes meals and the Queen was given and offered the position to rule over literally half a kingdom
It's like a hundred and twenty seven provinces of the entire earth
Basically, she can rule over half of the earth and she's still making sandwiches. You know what I mean?
She's still just serving in the house. So don't don't think like oh, I just make meals
you know, there's any people that put down homemaking they act like homemaking is somehow a
demeaning job title or it's not worthy of being brought up or mentioned. No, no, that's a super important job
She's asking if she can prepare this meal and of course they come into the banquet
If you skip the chapter seven brings up again
So the king of Haman came to banquet with Queen Esther with Esther the Queen and the king said again and Esther on the second
Day at the banquet of wine. What is thy petition Queen Esther?
And it shall be granted thee and what is thy request it shall be reformed even to the half of the kingdom
Then Esther the Queen answered and said if I found favor in thy side o king and if it pleased the king
Let my life be given me at my petition and my people of my request for we are sold
I and my people to be destroyed to be slain and to perish
But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwoman, I had held my tongue. That's crazy
But it's biblical she's saying look even if I was gonna be a literal slave. I would have not said anything
I would have just done it. Oh, why didn't she just leave, right?
I mean if you were being asked as you ladies in here that think your life so bad if you're being asked to be a
Literal slave would you be like no problem because Esther's saying if I and my entire group of people were gonna be slaves
I would have done nothing about it. I would have just done it. My limit was physical death
I just didn't want to be killed. So again, is there limits? Yeah
Obviously if your husband is trying to literally murder you when he's drunk
You can like, you know evade the attack right? The Bible's not saying don't evade the attack
But it's like how many women are even being enforced to be a slave literally, but what is the Bible's answer?
She would have done it anyways. Esther would have still done it anyways
But notice it says although the enemy could not counter veil the king's damage. Don't miss this verse if they had been made
Slaves it would have really hurt the king counter veil means to
Essentially make up for or counteract in a sense. So by saying the enemy could not counter veil in the sense of what?
If you took away all the Jews and you cause them to now be slaves
There's gonna be damage to the Empire of the kingdom. You're gonna basically hurt the kingdom. You're gonna hurt the the society
You're gonna hurt the economy
You're gonna cause all these problems and this enemy is not capable of countervailing that making up for it
It's like hey, why don't we just fire half the company and it's like, okay, but who's gonna do their job?
Who's gonna make all the parts who's gonna do all this stuff?
And it's like the enemy wasn't able to actually make up that payment because if you understand the story of Esther
Haman had actually offered to pay money to kill the Jews
But the amount of money that he would have paid would have not actually counteracted the damage economically
Financially and everything would happen from enslaving these people. Why is that an important point?
She's saying even though this is a stupid idea
Even though this is a dumb idea even though you would have hurt yourself financially
Even though it had devastated the country even though it has devastated your kingdom even though you would have damaged yourself
I was still gonna be on board telling me what sometimes wives to say hey
I'm gonna submit to you even if it's a stupid idea, but just not to death
Why because she's just simply wanting to reflect her husband. She's just the queen. She's gonna do what the king wants
She's on the Kings program. It's just it crossed a huge threshold
Physical death for her and her entire group of people and yeah, that's a big deal
Usually people aren't coming to me with these issues people aren't saying like hey pastor Shirley
What should I do? My husband wants to kill me in my entire family. It's usually never come to that
You know what? I mean, so, you know what you should do
Just submit just reflect and get on his program and then reflect and be as bright of moon as you can possibly be just be
The brightest moon just reflect his program and his plan is as brightly as you can and just show everybody
How awesome your husband is go to 1st Emily chapter 5, you know
Really all the moon is doing is just showing us how awesome the Sun is, you know
The best thing you can do as a wife is just constantly praise your husband
The worst thing you can do as a wife is go around and just talk negatively about your husband
Trash him make fun of him put him down or you know, some women will do that with their mouth
They do that with their body language. They're just constantly rolling their eyes in
Public their husband will say like hey, will you take the baby?
Hey, do you want to go get this for me?
They just sit there. It's like yeah, we all see you hun. That's not reflecting the Sun very great
Is it why don't you just put a smile on your face?
Okay, you know you if you worked at Wells Fargo, you'd have to put a smile on your face
They just fire you and you would girls can be fake
I know why don't you fake it until you make it with your husband, right?
Just smile and act like you like him until you like him and at the end of the day, you know
Be the best moon that you can possibly be don't just sit here and have just as a sour puss attitude
And just constantly have a droopy face
You know get happy about something and be the best moon that you can be and just reflect his life now
Here's the second thing you need to do it
Not only you need to reflect you need to rule because we saw that that light rules as a queen
You need to be a queen. You need to actually rule. You're not you don't have an unimportant job
You have a super important job. You need to do it, you know without the moonlight you can't see you can't accomplish things
It it's damaging and the same way if the household doesn't have the wife ruling
Well, then there's gonna be all kinds of problems as a wife. You need to get to work and and start ruling
What does it say in first Timothy chapter 5 verse 14?
I will therefore that the young woman Mary bare children notice this guide the house
Women guide the house. They're the ruler, you know, it's not like it's not like being a wife is somehow a
Responseless job. No, you have great responsibilities. You have all kinds of things that you need to be doing taking care of stuff
Overseeing all kinds of different things
You're gonna be in charge of a lot and there's a lot to do and someone needs to do it and the husband can't do
It all the wife needs to do it. The wife needs to rule especially when he's gone when he's gone
She needs to get in there and rule that house with authority because she's in charge go to Proverbs 9
Let's look at some examples of this Proverbs chapter number 9 and I don't know jumping around a little bit here
But I just want to kind of establish these points and then show you some clear examples of this in the Bible
But wives need to be the queen of their castle now. We have some great examples of women in the Bible
We also have some proverbs that kind of give us a picture of what what a woman would look like in her role ideally
Proverbs 9 brings up the idea of wisdom
But it personifies wisdom as a female and and you kind of get the picture of this being a woman in the home
It says in verse 1 wisdom have builded her house. She hath hewn out her seven pillars now
This is metaphoric language, but I believe it's it's really referring to if you think about it bearing children
I will therefore that the younger women bear children think about it building her house in many ways
When we talk about Acts chapter 16 chapter 30 and 31, you know
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved in thy house
Right, who's the house there? The house is the family and she's building them out think about hewing a pillar
That's a lot of work. That's a lot of effort. That's a lot of back and you know next sweat equity
Hey, and think about literally giving birth. I mean getting pregnant and
Giving birth to a child and then feeding it that is some serious labor
And it's almost like giving this idea this woman. That's hewing out seven pillars. It's like she's hewing out seven children
They're gonna be pillars of the faith. They're gonna be pillars in the Christian community, right says in verse 2
She had killed her beasts. Yeah, women can kill animals, you know
You should like a woman that's gonna wring the neck of that chicken. So you need it. Do you have mingled or wine?
She had also furnished her table, you know mingling the wine
This is the idea of making a fruit beverage now again people just are ignorant of history
They think that great juice or fruit juice didn't exist in the past or something. This is false
Of course it did it just took a lot of effort. It took a lot of energy because you had to store
fruits throughout the year you either had to boil them and and you can create like kind of like a
sap or something that could then be used later or you could store it in a cooler or some kind of a cool area and
Often, you know people don't realize this they even had a form of refrigeration because you have springs
You have cool springs that are underneath the earth and what sometimes people would do is they'd have like this ice house
And they'd have this place that's like underwater or underground a little bit
That's near a spring and they could package items and put them in cool spring water
And it it would act like refrigeration where it will keep it at 30 degrees or 40 degrees or whatever
I've been who's been camping where they store stuff in the river to keep it cool. Yeah
I went I remember going camping and I was a kid
So i'm not doing anything and someone's like do you want a soda and I was like sure and they just hand me this like
Ice cold coke and i'm thinking like where the heck did you get this in the middle of the woods?
And then they showed me there was this part of the spring that was super cold
And they just tied everything up and just dropped it down in this cool spring. And so we kept everything refrigerated for breakfast
We had bacon and eggs. We're having cokes. We're having sodas and i'm just thinking like man
This is kind of cool because i'm more of a glamper anyways, you know what I mean? Sorry if you don't like that
I'm not going to get on a raft and just see if I can catch a squirrel to survive or something
You know, if you can hand me a soda when i'm out there i'm i'm willing to do that
Okay, but at the end of the day like when it talks about mingling her wine
This is not something that just the normal lazy chick is going to be able to serve to her family
This is the one that's taking the diligence the time and the effort to store this
This wine making process to then mix it with water
So then you can have fruit juice because if you realize like almost all fruit juice is like 90 something percent water
It's just a little bit of juice that's ended up mixing in there
So they store that whatever however, they want to do it
There's multiple ways to do it. They store their fruit and then they mix it a little bit. So they've mingled their wine
That's what it's talking about. They're mixing in a little bit. So instead of just getting water you get a fruit beverage
So it's saying she's going above and beyond and she's giving this fruit beverage. Not only that
It says she's furnished her table. She has sent forth her maidens. Now that's what I really wanted to emphasize was
Not only is she serving she's ruling. She's ruling. She's overseeing other people
She's taking care of all kinds of different things and she's got servants of her own not just children
She's got maidens and she's got other servants and you know what a lot of ladies
In here have to manage all kinds of different things manage different people
manage different services
Hey, they're managing dry cleaning people or they're managing food people or they're managing
Laundry services or cleaning services or all kinds of different stuff
I mean I guarantee most of the women in this room probably have to manage other people or services or acquire things and they're taking care of their
Maidens as well. They're taking care of their underlings not just their children and then sometimes the children become the maidens do right?
Obviously the children can get in there and they have to manage them oversee them
Make sure that they're doing things properly. It says she cryeth under the highest places of the city
Who so is simple let him turn and hither
As for him that wanteth understandings to say at them come eat of my bread and drink of the wine which I have mingled
She's not only just preparing food for her family
She's preparing food for other people for people that are stupid people that are not smart people are uneducated
And she's providing food and meals for them taking care of them
You know praise god
We have so many women in this this church that are willing to make meals for other ladies
Sometimes you know whether they get pregnant or their sickness or there's whatever
There's meal trains and people are not only willing to just take care of themselves
They take care of other people other families other things and they're you know
Without someone ruling and taking charge the job doesn't get done without someone taking charge
The homemade bread doesn't make itself the homemade cooked meals and this stuff is super important food is very important
The house is very important guiding the children is very important guiding the maidens all this stuff
I mean our house to us is so much more important than our job and you're guarding our children
You're guarding our home. You're guarding our food. This stuff is so important to us as men
And we're entrusting that unto these queens and these queens need to rule go to proverbs 31
Go to proverbs 31 and the more you make your husband a king the more he'll make you a queen
I guarantee it proverbs 31 look at verse 15
She riseth also while it is yet night and giveth meat to her household and a portion to her maidens
So she's not only considering her family directly. She's taking care of the maiden. She's ruling over
You know the bible talks about her verse 16. She considered the field and buyeth it with the fruit of her hand
She planted the vineyard. This is someone that's ruling a lot of stuff
Managing a lot of stuff and you know what there's nothing wrong with women
Ruling and managing and having servants and having children and running all kinds of different stuff
In fact, if it was wrong, why would the king offer her to rule literally half of his kingdom?
You know, she's the queen she's put in charge and she's given authority but it's not authority that she wields on her own
She's granted that authority just like the moon without the sun is nothing
The the queen is nothing without the king and so we we get on the husband's program and we reflect his program
And she rules according to his program go over to genesis chapter 16 go to genesis chapter number 16
Everything i'm saying is counterintuitive to what the world will tell you what the world tells you is, you know
You go girl. You follow your dreams. You be a career woman. You don't uh
Limit yourself to some man. You don't go serve some man. You know, what if we told that to the moon?
Hey you moon you go moon you go do your moon stuff. You don't need no sun. What's that sun?
Why don't you go some other solar system some other galaxy and do your own thing?
You know what the moon would be nothing without the sun. It's great at reflecting. It's terrible at admitting
It does not admit its own light and let me tell you something women are great at reflecting and they're terrible at admitting
You know these boss babes these women gurus these women pastors. They suck. They're terrible
They don't they're not good at admitting light
They're good at reflecting light and you know, no matter what position you find yourself in
You need to just submit under the authorities that god's put in your life
and some people think like how how a god want me to be in a
Difficult situation, but let's just not ask that question
Let's just ask if the bible would ever have us do that if god would ever have us do it soon as this chapter 16 look
At verse 6 but abram said unto sarai behold thy maid is in thy hand due to her
As it pleaseth thee and when sarah dealt heartily with her she fled from her face
Abram says hey, you can do whatever you want. Honestly, I feel like most men do this
They tell their wives what to do whatever they want in lots of categories. It's like hey
You got the house you go girl like we give them that you go girl, but it's in a context, isn't it?
You know, what color do you want the drapes you go girl, you know, it's like I don't care, right?
It's like hey, what are you gonna make for dinner?
It's like, I don't know make whatever make tacos as long as it's beef, right? It's what's for dinner. Okay beef
It's like hey within the parameters of killing the beast. You're good, you know
Whether it's tacos or steak or burgers or whatever, you know
Hey go if I come home and it's only pancakes. It's like no make me a burger
Some people say give me the pancakes or the burger. I say give me the burger with the pancakes
You know what? I mean, actually this stuff both. Okay, that's what I would say
But this woman hagar is her servant in a sense, even though she's also kind of abraham's wife and
She's treating her hardly what the bible says
She dealt hardly with her says in verse seven an angel the lord found her by
A fountain of water in the wilderness by the fountain in the way to sure and he said hagar sarah's maid
Whence camis thou and whither wilt thou go and she said I flee from the face of my mistress sarah
And the angel the lord said under her yeah, do whatever you want. You're a volunteer. Nope
What does it say return to thy mistress and submit thyself under her hands?
Like she's like I left because it was abusive and then what does god say go back?
That's just the that's not my opinion. That's the angel of the lord. That's god just saying hey go back
Submit do whatever she said. Oh, I don't think god would ever want a woman to be in an abusive relationship
Well, this is an abusive relationship. This is just her boss, right? This is just Sarah
you think that men are harsh women can be real harsh and
Look, I'm not I'm not trying to minimize abuse
I'm not trying to minimize, you know people being rude or bad, but at the end of the day, we're just saying okay
What do you do if you're in that situation you just submit now as a leader as a ruler?
I don't think you should be harsh. I don't think you should be rude
I don't think you should treat people poorly the Bible gives commandments and the law that we shouldn't you know
Deal with rigor with our servants if we had servants
We shouldn't we shouldn't deal with them with rigor and give them hard labor
But at the end of the day, you know what?
She's dealing hardly with her mistress and God said just go back and submit yourself because that's gonna be her fault fault her problem
I don't know Sarah has some issues in the Bible. She's also praised the Bible for calling Abraham the Lord
But she also has some issues. She ends up dying for Abraham and Abraham ends up marrying Keturah
She gets replaced by Keturah. You kind of wonder sometimes, you know
Maybe it's because she was told Abraham to have this other relationship than she dealt harshly with her
She had her own sin issues. She had her own problems here and she ended up dying before
Abraham so again, it's important to submit but here's another thing. It's also important for Sarah just rule
She has people that she has to rule
I don't think she should have ruled harshly but it's still her job to rule and you know what as the queen of the castle
You need to rule but here's obviously the the the gotcha
You should rule kindness, right? You should rule with some grace as well
Obviously you're a ruler if you want your husband to give you grace
You should probably give grace to the underlings
Don't we have examples in the Bible where this guy gets forgiven this big debt?
But then he goes and strangles the guy that owes him just grab him by the neck and throws him in prison
So it's like hey if you want your husband to show you a lot of grace and be kind of you
You should probably be kind under your servants and the people that are under your authority and your children
Go view it to Exodus chapter 20 go to Exodus chapter 20
It's a point one as the queen of the castle you need to reflect your husband point number two
You need to rule and point number three is that you need to use the rod and reproof
For your children that are under your authority and look children you need to obey mom
Don't think like oh well I obey dad because he's scary you obey mom and as men
We should back up our wives and we should support our wives be very careful to not undermine your wife's authority
Sometimes you have to overrule her
But you should be very careful in how you do it
And you don't want to undermine the authority of the wife in front of the children if it's not a major issue
I just I just basically back my wife. It's just like hey whatever. She said where she wanted. That's right
You do what mom said I do this is pretty much all leadership and people that have ever served under me
Can attest to this is like when I privately disagree with somebody in my under my authority like one of my leaders or whatever
I usually tell them in private, but publicly I just say yeah amen
Whatever they said because I don't want to undermine authority, and you know what as a husband
We don't want to undermine or undercut our wives authority or make it seem like she doesn't have much power
No, she has lots of power. She's second in charge. She's the queen you do what mom said you say yes, mom
You say yes, ma'am. You treat her with respect you thank her
We need to reinforce that to our children and remind them of who's really in charge is mom Exodus 20 verse 12
honor thy father and
Thy mother that thy days will be long upon the land with the Lord thy God giveth thee children
If you want to live a long life
You have to obey both mom and dad in your respect both lights both rulers
Both of them look at chapter 21 verse 15 and he that smite if his father his mother shall be surely put to death
You fight your parents the Bible says death penalty death penalty
You better never raise a hand to your mom or your dad young men sometimes in their inner society and culture will threaten their mom
Or raise a fist to their mom God says you should be put to death for doing that
Verse 17 and he that cursed it his father his mother's just surely you put the death
Hey, you just you just wish evil on your parents death
That's what the Bible says some people are like, hey, let's share this video of a kid pursing his parents
What does the Bible say the guy's supposed to be put to death? That's what the Bible says and again like, you know
You think of all the parents in the world that my friend pastor Stephen Anderson is the worst dad
I mean that people want to share videos of this kind of stuff
I'm thinking like man if he's a bad dad, then you're just basically damning like 99% of men in this world
I'm on right, but then people just share videos of his kids cursing him and attacking him. That's evil
That's wicked and you know what also not just him his wife them cursing their mom calling the mom of reprobate
Who would want to sit there and share a video of that and talk about that and act like oh, I believe the children
What you believe that what are you gonna green to here? What does the Bible say the Bible says?
Hey, you curse your father or mother you're put to death
Oh people constantly calling CPS on their parents making false reports so they can be
Institutionalized how can a child falsely institutionalize their parent as wicked as hell and let me tell you something
God doesn't treat it kindly go to Leviticus chapter 19
I want to look at a lot of verses on this you
Children need to fear your mom and dad and even if you could get one over on your mom and dad
God will come down on you your days are numbered you want to live a long life
You better obey mom and dad and you better talk nicely to your mom
You better be sweet to your mom and you better look at her as they ruler Leviticus chapter 19 verse 3 you shall fear
Every man his mother you children should be afraid of mom
Why because she brings the rod and reproof and his father and keep my Sabbath
I am the Lord your God God is the Lord you better fear mom and respect mom and obey
Mom, well, I don't think we should rule fear. Well, God disagrees with you
God says you should be afraid of mom go to the biggest 20 verse 3 or 20 verse 9. I'm sorry. Yeah, you better fear mom
Hey my mom when my brother was acting a fool. She brought out the two-by-four
Sounds scary good. Praise God. Hey, you know what the two-by-four was the least of the
Consequences for my brother's sins in his life. I've seen so many horrible things like, you know, some people think like that's bad
No committing sins that these people get into and the direction of their life is way worse
You probably need more two-by-four and I'm not recommending that I'm just saying that I don't stand in judgment of that
Okay reference this morning sermon Leviticus 20 verse 9 for everyone that cursed his father his mother shall surely be put to death
He hath cursed his father his mother his blood should be upon him
Bible go to Deuteronomy chapter 5 Deuteronomy chapter number 5 now
We live in a modern society that's so feminized today and so watered down that we don't have God's Word
You know thundering forth in our laws
But in times past in America, it was the law that if your child was disrespecting its parents
And it was 15 years or older. It was put to death in America not Sharia not
Afghanistan not Islam
America, you know what built America laws like that
You know, I have such a great country not Islam laws that are saying hey you curse your father mother death now
We have a society where kids are just running amok destroying our civilization
Destroying our country why because we don't have laws like that because we don't have respect unto God's word
We're allowing Islam to be in our country when America was great Islam couldn't exist
Now that we have crappy laws is lums everywhere. Don't tell me you know why we have Islam people get mad at Islam
You know what when you're one of these feminist guys, you're the reason why we have Islam you get so mad at Islam
It's your preaching that's causing Islam
Not the Word of God if you hate Islam so much then bring back the Bible on these issues
You don't want to be chapter 5 verse 16
All do I father thy mother as the Lord thy God had commanded thee that thy days may be prolonged and that it may go
Well with thee and the land was the Lord thy God giveth thee
I mean how many times is God gonna bring this up a lot go to june 21
Hey, you better obey mom and dad your life depends on it
And I don't think like it's not like these commandments this is what you have to understand about the Bible
They're not limited to Christians whenever you meet an old person you pretty much can just just guarantee
They probably obeyed their parents and respected their parents. There's probably a few exceptions
But it's gonna be few in society most of the old people that are out there those 80 90 100 year old people
I guarantee they honored their father and the mother. That's why they're so old
That's why God's kept around even if they're Catholic and I mean you look at societies like what society let's just be honest for a second
What society has the highest age of their countries?
It's Asian countries and what countries have the highest respect rate for their parents Asian country
You think that that's a coincidence and then it's like, okay, let's you thought that was spicy
Let's play the reverse game what countries have the lowest and you fact-check me on this
I would assume it's Africa and which countries seem to have the least respect for their parents
What what communities in America seem to have the least respect for their parents in which communities are dying the youngest?
And having all kinds of problems look God's God is not mocked once a man
So if that's really also reap you want to be disrespectful your parents just just realize you're just taking days off your life
Just find a calendar and just start marking days marking years marking months off of your life for disobeying mom and dad
And you know what? That's why the mom brings the rod is to keep you alive keep you alive longer and we're proving you
You know bad do not only 21 look at verse 18 if a man has stubborn rebellious son
Which will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother and that when they have chastened him
Will not hearken unto them then shall his father his mother lay hold on him and bring him out
Under the elders of a city and under the gate of his place
So the Bible is saying is hey you got a 16 year old if you go to the laws of Connecticut 1673
You know 16 year old that you spanked he doesn't say oh now
He's gonna have to have wrath towards his parents and turn back
No, no you spanked him and he didn't obey now. It's just death
How many kids do you think will respond to spankings at that point?
What does he say in verse number 20 of verse 19?
then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him and bring him out under the elders of the city and under the
Gate of his place and they shall say into the elders of a city this our son is stubborn and rebellious
He will not obey our voices a glutton and a drunkard and all the men of this city shall stone him with stones that
He died so so they'll put evil away from among you and all Israel shall hear and fear
Hey, you don't like mom and dad tough luck
The Bible says you are to be put to death when you go against your parents. That's what the Bible brings up
Go to june 27. I have a lot of verses here that I want to still cover children
You think it's cool to disobey mom and dad every day. You're gonna die young
You think it's okay to just not do it mom and dad says hey, there's a punishment coming
don't think that you can just disobey mom and dad and go against their wishes and do whatever you want and
God doesn't see God sees and God knows yeah, he's very long-suffering
He's very merciful, but you know what you better obey mom and dad
You don't only 27 look at verse 16 person be he that said of light by his father or his mother and all the people
So say amen
Hey, don't allow someone to set light by their parents. Don't agree with children attacking their parents
Don't side with kids hurting their parents. No, no, no curse. It is the person that does that
Say how dare you curse people? Well, you know what all the people should say amen
That's what the Bible says. Hey, you're cursed buddy
Hey quit cursing your parents because you're cursing yourself and you know what? Everybody should say amen to that
Oh, there's this whole church praying for me. Yeah. Well, you know what get right cuz otherwise you're cursed
Proverbs chapter 1 go to Proverbs chapter 1. Why would you not as a whole congregation say amen
Do you want your kids to rebellions your authority? Do you want your kids to curse you?
Do you want your kids to smite you whenever a child is going into parents?
We should all rally together and say hey the parents are right. You're wrong
Submit or you're cursed and all the people to say amen because it's not just one person
It's all of us that stand against child rebellion
We should be against child rebellion period not just for their sake for everyone's sake
For everybody's sake for your kids sake so that you hear and the children fear and the evil is put away from among you
Whenever we prop up rebellious children, you know, you're just saying all the kids can rebel when you prop up wise rebelling
All the wise can rebel. That's the whole point of Esther one
Hey, we can't just let that she do whatever she wants then everybody's doomed
We can't just let the kids do whatever they want then everybody's doomed
But foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him
We need to make sure that we're not
Enabling rebellion that we're not supporting rebellion that we're not giving thousand dollar checks to rebellion
How could you sit here and give thousand dollar checks for that?
How could you give thousand dollar checks from the church's money from God's money?
What verse show me that verse in the Bible as evil Proverbs 1 verse 8 my son hear the instruction of thy father and
Forsake not the law of thy mother
Hey, mom needs to put down some law and you know what you're not allowed to forsake it
Whatever mom says needs to stick with you. You need to do what mom said go to Proverbs 6
You know what? My mom told me you need to wear a belt and pull your pants up and I'm not gonna forsake that law
Hey, do what mom said and pull up your pants kid and get a belt. You know what my mom would say
She would say John kids or guys that have their pants hanging down are trying to advertise that they're a faggot in prison
And they want you to do stuff to them. She says you are not like that. You put on a belt and you pull up your pants
Praise God for hard preaching moms. It said don't let your pants sag down like a faggot. You're straight
Put your pants on right buckle it tight. It's an exit only
Proverbs 6 look at verse 20 my son keep thy father's commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother
He's repeating the same thing look at chapter 15 verse 20 Proverbs 15 verse 20
Let's just take a journey through Proverbs here get some good wisdom Proverbs 15 verse 20 a wise son making a glad father
But a foolish man despised his mother. You know what is a bad attitude to hate your mom. I've heard I don't know if it's true
I guess I heard there was a preacher that was like trashing his mom one time in a sermon and I haven't heard it myself
I partly believe it but let me just say this that is super evil
That is super evil to be trashing your mom look as preachers and and you know, please please take this advice
I don't like what the old IB does don't trash your wife behind the pulpit
Don't trash your parents buying the pulpit don't trash people buying the pulpit. Okay
I mean, I've been in a lot of old IB sermons where they're constantly razzling their wife
I'm just thinking like that's weird. I'm uncomfortable, you know, talk positively about your wife
Okay, you know the the harsh truths of the Bible are enough to get in enough fights in marriage
Okay, you don't need to then add on to that
You know about how she does things that aren't right like burning the cookies or something like don't don't bring that up
Okay, you leave that buried don't ever bring it up Proverbs 15 verse 20
Don't despise your mom go to chapter 19 and look at verse 26
The Bible also brings up that you shouldn't despise her when she gets old either and we should just always love her mom
Hey reminder Mother's Day coming up guys Mother's Day. This is your warning
All right Proverbs 19 look at verse 26
He that wasted his father and chases the way his mother is a son that caused the same and bring it approach
Don't chase away your mom. Don't hate on your mom. Don't attack your mom
Don't try to get your mom away from you Proverbs 20 verse 20
Whoso curses his father or his mother his lamp shall be put out into obscure darkness
Proverbs 30 verse 11
you know this is what I want to ask when we see a public display of a bunch of children cursing their parents and then let's
Just say they don't repent and then in a few years they die
How many people are gonna say it was a coincidence like somebody stealing a bunch of money and they're getting a one in 17 trillion skin
Disease and then I say oh, it's a coincidence just sit it in your mind like hey when this thing happens
I'm not gonna say it was a coincidence
I'm not gonna take away what God said, you know
Hopefully people will repent and get right and God's merciful
But at the end of the day like if you're on a crash course
You should be afraid very very afraid Proverbs 30 verse 11
There is a generation that cursed at their father and does not bless their mother. That's that's sad
there can be times where just like a whole group of people are just bad and
There's not really anything we can do about it
But you know what is that that's gonna be their fault look at verse 17
The eye that mock at that of this father and despise it to obey his mother the Ravens of the valley shall pick it out
And the young eagle shall eat it. How does it sound like he's messing around with this at all?
I mean, I don't want birds to come out of nowhere and literally rip my eye out of its socket
That's what it's saying when you just despise to obey your mom
Hey, we have a little children Bible cursing the man of God and making fun of the man of God for no reason
And then she bears come out of the woods and just eat them
We have little kids getting their eyes ripped out by birds for despising to obey their mom
You know, we always read stories in the news or on Twitter on Facebook about little kids getting hurt
And we just like as a society always just think like oh that poor little kid
We don't always know what that kid was really like
We don't always really know if that kid is super innocent as presumed
I think we should always give people the presumption of innocence
But I'm also saying God is not fucked and boy you mock your mom and dad you despise your mom and dad
Something really bad could happen to you. You should be really afraid of God now again look at chapter 29 verse 15
This is what the wives need to do the Queens need to do the rod and reproof give wisdom
But a child left to himself bringing his mother to shame as the Queen you have subjects your children are your subjects
You need to bring the rod and the reproof you need to correct your children
not only should reflect your husband's wishes on the home and
Rule you need to make sure you're bringing that rod. Don't be a mom that says I just can't spank them you spank them
Spank the fire out of them. They should be afraid of mom afraid of mom's law
You approve them you correct them Proverbs 31 verse 1 the words of the Lord
I'm sorry the words of King Lemuel the prophecy that his mother taught him what my son and what?
The son of my womb and what the son of my vows man
You can just see that mom you get in trouble, and she's just like what is up with you kid?
Are you are you my kid? Are you a Shelley? What is this? You know you see like?
This is like what she's like she's like what are you the son of my womb are you the son of my vows?
What are you doing? Who are you give not thy strength unto women nor thy ways?
So that was the story things he went on a date with a whore, and she's just like what what are you doing?
Dude, my mom was like this man. My brother had some shady girls come over to the house sometime
And she just threw a fit you know praise God for a mom like that
This says who are you bringing around here? Don't give your strength unto women nor the ways that was notice this destroy at Kings
She's mad because she doesn't want you to destroy yourself
It is not for Kings Oh Lemuel is not for kings to drink wine nor for princes strong drink lest they drink and forget the law
And pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted gives strong drink unto him that is ready to perish and wine to those that be
Of heavy hearts look the guy that's ready to die isn't really threatened with death anymore
So she's saying hey the reason why people drinks they just want to die so hey you want to kill yourself you want to die
That's the type of people that should drink and again. She's not saying this is like a recommendation. She's saying it is a sarcastic way
I like this woman. She's sarcastic and she's yelling and whatever right
She's just calling it like it is whores and drinking and all kinds of stuff
Let him drink and forget his poverty and remember his misery no more
Hey people that drink are losers people that drink are poor
How dare you just categorize a whole group of people that's what she's doing
She's just like bam, and then she gives the whole dissertation on the type of woman
He should be looking for on the type of woman that she he should marry you know moms
You should be constantly talking your kids about hey, this is the kind of person you should marry
This is the person you should not marry. These are the cut. These are bad friends. These are good friends
These are good actions
These are bad actions
And you should bring out that rod and you should approve and you should be a queen and you should rule and you should reflect
And you know what we need queens to be queens today
Someone needs to rule our children and not some feminist dyke in the public school system
To rot their brain with propaganda
We need God-fearing Queens with the rod of God's Word and the reproof of God's wisdom to actually correct their children and raise
Seven pillars of the Christian community. We need some Queens around here. Don't be lazy
Don't be someone that doesn't rule
You know as Kings we need to rule and as Queens we need to rule
The worst thing that we can have is men and women that won't work
You need to get to work and we need to have the rod and their proof
What does it say in verse 30 of this chapter favor is deceitful and beauty is vain
But a woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised
Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates
Hey, you want all that respect and honor and glory just work for it
Do the right thing work really hard in due time. You'll get that praise report say oh man
People aren't constantly praising me. Is there anything to praise? That's the real question
Hey, if you work really hard if you love your children and you sew into those kids and you sew into your husband
It's just a guarantee in the long run
Eventually, you'll get that praise for having raised them go over to 1st Corinthians chapter number 14 go to 1st Corinthians chapter 14
You know, the Bible tells us that children are supposed to obey their parents. The wife is the queen
So here's a question I have what does that make children then you're lower than both mom and dad
You're subject unto mom and you're subject unto dad. You are not a ruler
So I want you to play this logic with me for a second 1st Corinthians chapter 14
Look at verse 33 for God is not the author of confusion
But a peace as in all churches of the Saints let your women keep silence in the churches for is not permitted under them to speak
But they are commanded to be under obedience as also say at the law and if they will learn anything
Let them ask their husbands at home for it is a shame for women to speak in the church
Now if women are not supposed to be speaking and they're not supposed to be teaching in the house of God
Then how much more should children not be speaking or doing this kind of activity in church?
Now get it our church we take this to a level and say look
I don't believe women should say amen in the service like obviously if we have a visitor we have somebody
I'm not gonna probably do anything. We have a lot of loud strong men
So, you know, I'm sure a woman could sneak in there and amen it once while I wouldn't even know
But women shouldn't be saying amen. I don't think they should I don't approve of it
I don't like it if there was some loud obnoxious woman in our church
She would be dealt with for sure
But then here's the thing if women shouldn't say men then children should not say amen either ever in the service if your mom can't
You can't she's above you. She's over you. I don't care if you're a boy. You're still a boy
Men say men in the service. Okay, and you know what parents if you don't want to sit by your kids and correct them
If they're gonna do this, then I'll correct them for you
But I just let you know children should not be saying amen in the service women shouldn't be saying amen in the service
And you know what as the queen of the castle you are in a position of authority over your children
Look, it's not to be demeaning to women. It's just saying look. This is the proper roles
Hey when you can start paying your bills men
Then you can start saying amen when your mom is paying your bills and she can't say amen
You can't say amen go to Ephesians chapter 6 go to Ephesians chapter number 6. It's so misogynistic. Call me whatever you want
I don't really care. I'm leaving good. We have more space
I've been trying hard to make some space here
You know, I mean these is chapter 6 look at verse 1 children obey your parents and the Lord for this is right honor
Thy father and mother which is the first commandment with promise that it may be well with thee that thou may live long on the earth
We need to empower our wives to be the queen of the castle and we need children to respect and obey both mom and dad
And you're gonna get a lot of respect ladies when you make your husband a king and you allow him to make you his queen
You're gonna have a lot more respect when you get on dad's program and you reinforce and you reflect his program
You reflect his wishes and you can constantly say hey
You need to do what I'm saying because that's what dad's saying and that's what the Bible's saying and you reflect the authority
That's given look I can get up and say hey
You're supposed to be me because that's what God said the wife says you're supposed to be me because that's what dad said
And that's what God said, right? It's a it's a tear down
It's a hierarchy and we just follow the chain of command and as wise you need to also rule
You need to you need to flex your muscles a little bit here. You got some stuff to do you're in charge
Take ownership of that. You got the home you're guiding the house you're doing this, you know, don't look at your job is some menial task
You have a great opportunity to do a lot of work and accomplish a lot of things children are so important in so many ways
Your job is just as important or more important than many of us
And then you need to bring the rod and approve because children are not gonna be good on their own
You need to make sure dad can't be there for at least half the time
Someone's got to spank the fire out of these kids
Someone's got to put these kids in fear. Someone's got to teach these kids things. That's you. Please do it
Please please do it. You as a mom need to be spanking your kids
And you know, we already have a really great crop, but let's not just be complacent being better than the world
Let us continue to improve. Let us continue to get better moms
You need to constantly training your children not just a church at home
Constantly bringing the rod and reproof probably need to do like a whole sermon on that again
But you need to spank them and you need to correct them and you need to be that queen a queen rules
You want you constantly sit here and think like I want to be in charge of stuff. You're in charge go do something
You're that be the boss babe at home
And let's let us make sure that you know as men that we're backing up and supporting our wives
The sun's not withholding any of its light on the moon
It's just all it's just giving all its glory under that moon and it likes the moon, you know
Occasionally there's an eclipse let it be an occasional, you know situation for the most part
We're just backing up the moon. Are we and let us be as kings, you know giving honor under the weaker vessel the wife
You know, she's she's not just a servant. She's not a bondmaid
She's a queen treat her like a queen suppose in prayer. Thank you only father so much for your word
Thank you for giving us these examples and these carnal truths so that we could understand how to operate
I pray that you would just help empower the women today to be queens
You'd help them to reflect their husbands. You'd help them to rule their houses and guide their houses
I pray you'd also help them to bring the rod or proof and I pray that you'd help put fear
Into our children fear into our wives fear into our households
Fear into men's hearts to fear the Word of God that we would rejoice with trembling and I pray that we would just
We would get on your program
We would respect the authority structure that you've given us and not only we respect it
We would just enact it and do it in Jesus name. We pray men. All right in closing. Let's go to song number 69
Speaking of shining song number 69. We shall shine as the stars
