Alright, welcome to Sure Foundation Baptist Church.

09:46.220 --> 09:49.940
Everybody please grab your handbooks and turn to page 419.

09:51.060 --> 09:53.260
Page 419.

09:57.000 --> 09:57.840
Two.

10:00.900 --> 10:03.660
Excuse me, I'm having a malfunction here.

10:03.660 --> 10:05.460
All right, 419.

10:05.460 --> 10:09.700
On the first.

10:09.700 --> 10:14.660
Sound the battle cry, see the foe is nigh.

10:14.660 --> 10:19.300
Raise the standard high for the Lord.

10:19.400 --> 10:28.760
Guard your armor on, stand firm everyone, rest your cause upon his holy word.

10:28.760 --> 10:37.800
Rouse and soldiers rally round the banner, ready steady, pass the word along.

10:38.100 --> 10:47.340
Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna! Christ is captain of the mighty throng!

10:47.340 --> 10:56.580
Strong to meet the foe, marching on we go, while our cause we know must prevail.

10:56.580 --> 11:05.980
Shield and banner bright, gleaming in the light, battling for the right we ne'er can fail.

11:06.100 --> 11:15.380
Rouse then soldiers, rally round the banner, ready steady, pass the word along.

11:15.380 --> 11:24.740
Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna, Christ is captain of the mighty throng.

11:24.740 --> 11:34.020
O thou God of all, hear us when we call, Help us one and all by thy grace.

11:34.100 --> 11:43.380
When the battle's done and the victory's won, may we wear the crown before thy face.

11:43.380 --> 11:52.660
Rouse and soldiers rally round the banner, ready steady, pass the word along.

11:52.660 --> 12:01.940
Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna, Christ is captain of the mighty throng.

12:02.100 --> 12:03.700
All right, great singing, Brother Jericho.

12:03.700 --> 12:05.860
Please open us up with a word of prayer.

12:18.300 --> 12:24.140
Alright, Amen. Turn to page 415. Page 415, your hymn books.

12:24.140 --> 12:27.020
Page 415, Victory Through Grace.

12:27.020 --> 12:29.420
Page 415.

12:29.700 --> 12:31.700
On the first.

12:31.700 --> 12:36.700
Conquering now and still to conquer,

12:36.700 --> 12:41.700
righteth the King in his might.

12:41.700 --> 12:46.700
Leading the host of all the faithful

12:46.700 --> 12:51.700
into the midst of the fight.

12:51.700 --> 12:56.700
See them with courage advancing,

12:56.700 --> 12:57.700
clad in their br-

12:57.700 --> 13:11.700
Brilliant array, shouting the name of their leader, hear them exultingly say,

13:11.700 --> 13:21.700
Not to the strong is the battle, not to the swift is the race,

13:21.700 --> 13:25.700
yet to the true and the faith.

13:25.700 --> 13:32.100
Faithful victory is promised through grace.

13:32.100 --> 13:42.100
Conquering now and still to conquer, Who is the wonderful King?

13:42.100 --> 13:51.940
Whence are the armies which He leadeth, While of His glory they sing?

13:52.100 --> 14:01.860
He is our Lord and Redeemer, Savior and Monarch, Divine.

14:01.860 --> 14:11.780
They are the stars that forever brighten, His kingdom will shine.

14:11.780 --> 14:16.780
Not to the strong is the battle

14:16.780 --> 14:20.100
Not to the swift is the

14:20.100 --> 14:31.860
Yet to the true and the faithful Victory is promised through grace

14:31.860 --> 14:41.420
Conquering now and still to conquer Jesus, thou ruler of all.

14:41.800 --> 14:51.640
Thrones and their scepters all shall perish, crowns and their splendors shall fall.

14:51.640 --> 15:01.320
Yes, how the armies thou leadeth, faithful and true to the last.

15:01.600 --> 15:11.360
Find in thy mansions eternal, Rest when their warfare is past.

15:11.360 --> 15:21.440
Not to the strong is the battle, Not to the swift is the race,

15:21.440 --> 15:29.540
Yeah, to the true and the faithful, victory is promised through...

15:29.600 --> 15:32.520
All right, good singing.

15:32.520 --> 15:33.880
Now we're going to have some announcements.

15:38.800 --> 15:43.800
Alright, welcome to Shul Foundation Baptist Church Sunday afternoon service.

15:43.800 --> 15:47.800
I hope you're staying cool, and if not, just don't complain about it, alright?

15:47.800 --> 15:57.800
But thanks for coming, and the AC should be fixed Wednesday morning, so next time when you're coming back, Wednesday, Sunday, should be cool.

15:57.800 --> 15:58.800
And let's look at the verse.

15:58.800 --> 16:06.800
the weak Hebrews 10.25 says this, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is, but exorci-

16:06.800 --> 16:12.320
one another and so much the more as you see the day approaching and as we are getting closer and

16:12.320 --> 16:16.640
closer to the end time we need more church and not less church amen.

16:17.000 --> 16:22.500
and let's look at the inside page. Please give us a follow on our social media platform.

16:22.500 --> 16:26.000
We have Sunday morning service at 11, Sunday afternoon service at 4,

16:26.000 --> 16:31.000
and Wednesday night Bible study at 7 p.m. and this Wednesday we'll be going through Acts chapter 15,

16:31.000 --> 16:34.000
talking about the famous Jerusalem Council.

16:34.000 --> 16:40.000
It is a legit council, but there's more context to that than the Catholics trying to tell you,

16:40.000 --> 16:43.000
but we're looking forward to that message.

16:43.000 --> 16:45.000
Also, we have someone in time Saturday morning at

16:45.000 --> 16:48.200
Sunday afternoon sowning at 1.30 p.m.

16:48.200 --> 16:52.140
And today we have 14 sowners and six salvations.

16:52.140 --> 16:55.240
We are edging close to 1,000 salvation

16:55.240 --> 16:58.240
and hopefully the Detroit sowning marathon

16:58.240 --> 17:01.320
will bridge this gap.

17:01.320 --> 17:03.600
And upcoming events, of course,

17:03.600 --> 17:05.680
today we'll have a men's preaching night.

17:05.680 --> 17:08.060
I will talk more after the offering time.

17:08.400 --> 17:14.080
Also, the annual fall picnic will take place on Saturday, October 3rd.

17:14.080 --> 17:15.920
Please save the day for that.

17:15.920 --> 17:18.800
And then this coming Saturday is our Detroit Sony Marathon.

17:18.800 --> 17:22.440
You can go to godresource.com for more details.

17:22.440 --> 17:25.120
The Pittsburgh is on there as well.

17:25.120 --> 17:28.320
And yeah, just join us if you are able to.

17:28.320 --> 17:31.460
And then the September preaching schedule is for you to see.

17:31.460 --> 17:34.800
And please stay faithful in your tithe and offerings.

17:34.800 --> 17:36.400
And on the back, you can...

17:36.400 --> 17:38.400
and see the birthdays and the anniversaries

17:38.400 --> 17:40.280
for the month of September.

17:40.280 --> 17:43.480
And also, Berta Landon wanted me to announce

17:43.480 --> 17:48.040
that Ms. Shian is with child, so praise the Lord for that.

17:48.040 --> 17:49.400
So congratulations.

17:49.400 --> 17:52.760
We will now sing the song.

17:54.240 --> 17:56.480
But yeah, and then.

17:57.300 --> 17:59.700
Yeah, I will talk more about the man's preaching thing.

17:59.700 --> 18:04.500
Although I didn't want to mention, you know, because me and Stephen, we were talking about

18:04.500 --> 18:07.100
this morning's sermon.

18:07.100 --> 18:10.580
Just let me get my preaching done before the man's preaching night.

18:10.580 --> 18:15.940
So basically the water in the First King Chapter 18, to me, there's also a secondary layer

18:15.940 --> 18:22.580
about the living water, because thinking about the entire three years of drought, famine,

18:22.580 --> 18:23.860
what was happening in the nation.

18:23.860 --> 18:25.180
They were worshipping other gods, right?

18:25.300 --> 18:28.340
there was no living water, but after the prophets of Baal

18:28.340 --> 18:31.100
got destroyed, and there was rain, right?

18:31.100 --> 18:32.660
It's symbolizing the living water.

18:32.660 --> 18:35.240
So the picture is, to be saved.

18:36.200 --> 18:38.560
you have to turn from the false idols

18:38.560 --> 18:41.080
and trust in God alone, trust in Christ alone.

18:41.080 --> 18:42.560
So there's a wonderful picture there.

18:42.560 --> 18:46.320
Also, even in the midst of the famine,

18:46.320 --> 18:47.880
they can still find water, right?

18:47.880 --> 18:49.800
Oh, but they have found water, because even

18:49.800 --> 18:51.440
in the midst of a terrible situation,

18:51.440 --> 18:52.780
you can still find living water.

18:52.780 --> 18:54.520
So just another spiritual parallel there.

18:54.520 --> 18:56.320
So that's my men's preaching sermon.

18:56.320 --> 18:58.640
And Brother Rashid, can you lead us with one more song?

19:02.900 --> 19:08.260
Alright, next song is gonna be song 441, Great Is Thy Faithfulness.

19:08.260 --> 19:13.220
Song 441 in your hymn books, Great Is Thy Faithfulness.

19:14.900 --> 19:18.100
Great Is Thy Faithfulness, on the first.

19:18.700 --> 19:35.500
Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with thee.

19:35.500 --> 19:44.100
Thou changest not thy compassions, they fail not.

19:44.300 --> 19:52.600
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

19:52.600 --> 20:01.140
Great is Thy faithfulness, Great is Thy faithfulness,

20:01.140 --> 20:09.260
Morning by morning new mercies I see.

20:09.800 --> 20:18.300
All I have needed thy hand has provided.

20:18.300 --> 20:25.560
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.

20:26.900 --> 20:35.220
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest.

20:35.220 --> 20:43.620
Sun, moon, and stars and their courses above.

20:43.620 --> 20:50.780
Join with all nature and manifold witness.

20:51.900 --> 21:00.200
To thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.

21:00.200 --> 21:08.500
Great is thy faithfulness, great is thy faithfulness.

21:08.500 --> 21:16.500
Morning by morning new mercies I see.

21:16.800 --> 21:25.100
All I have needed thy hand hath provided.

21:25.100 --> 21:32.600
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.

21:33.500 --> 21:49.980
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide,

21:49.980 --> 21:58.060
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.

21:58.400 --> 22:06.700
Blessing all mine with ten thousand beside.

22:06.700 --> 22:15.240
Great is Thy faithfulness, great is Thy faithfulness.

22:15.240 --> 22:23.240
Morning by morning new mercies I see.

22:23.800 --> 22:32.200
All I have needed thy hand hath provided.

22:32.200 --> 22:40.200
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.

22:40.200 --> 22:42.440
All right, great singing.

22:42.440 --> 22:43.600
Usters, please come up.

22:45.900 --> 22:47.900
Alright, Brother Mac, can you please pray for the offering?

22:55.900 --> 22:56.740
Amen.

23:38.700 --> 23:41.740
All right, in a moment we'll have men's preaching,

23:41.740 --> 23:45.100
and when you come on, please make sure to adjust

23:45.100 --> 23:46.820
the mic based on your height,

23:46.820 --> 23:50.100
and stay general around the pulpit region.

23:50.100 --> 23:52.620
And your time is 12 minutes and 30 seconds.

23:52.620 --> 23:54.460
No, I'm kidding.

23:54.460 --> 23:56.900
15 minutes, Kai, but you don't have to use

23:56.900 --> 23:59.220
the full 15 minutes, but you do have 15 minutes.

23:59.220 --> 24:01.300
And then I will give you some gesture for you

24:01.300 --> 24:04.200
to wrap it up and things like that, so.

24:04.300 --> 24:05.660
And what else?

24:05.660 --> 24:08.820
Just no heresies and no major heresies

24:10.080 --> 24:11.660
because I will correct you if there's some

24:11.660 --> 24:13.180
slight disagreements, totally fine,

24:13.180 --> 24:15.560
because not everyone agrees 100%.

24:15.560 --> 24:19.300
So just gather the spirit of the command

24:19.300 --> 24:21.060
and things like that.

24:21.980 --> 24:25.980
Alright, and when you're done, just pick the thing.

24:25.980 --> 24:29.300
Pick the next preacher and let's do this.

24:32.800 --> 24:33.800
Brother Jared.

24:41.700 --> 24:43.700
Howdy church.

24:43.700 --> 24:47.700
Turn into your Bibles to Genesis chapter 2.

24:47.700 --> 24:49.700
Genesis chapter 2.

24:49.700 --> 24:53.700
My sermon title is, Find Your Lobster.

24:53.700 --> 24:59.700
So I'll just explain what that means.

24:59.700 --> 25:04.700
Finding your lobster means finding your soulmate or lifelong romantic partner.

25:04.700 --> 25:07.700
And the origin of the phrase,

25:08.400 --> 25:12.500
The phrase comes from the hit TV show Friends.

25:12.500 --> 25:14.480
In season two there's a character named Phoebe.

25:14.480 --> 25:18.900
She explains that lobsters fall in love and mate for life.

25:18.900 --> 25:22.860
She jokes that you can see old lobster couples walking around in tanks and holding claws

25:22.860 --> 25:25.280
and stuff like that.

25:25.280 --> 25:30.400
It's actually not true, but it's kind of cute.

25:30.400 --> 25:36.200
What it means today is people use the term to describe devoted lifelong partners.

25:36.300 --> 25:37.300
And, uh...

25:37.800 --> 25:44.000
And I put this in my head was like while real lobsters do not actually mate for life the romantic myth remains popular way to

25:44.000 --> 25:46.000
Describe true love and I don't really under

25:46.320 --> 25:52.580
I've never actually heard of this until recently because I was texting evangelists about like I don't forget what we were talking about

25:52.580 --> 25:53.840
but he like

25:53.840 --> 25:58.900
He meant to send a like but he sent like a lobster on my like text thread or whatever

25:58.900 --> 26:04.100
I was like, I'm Matthew 18 Matthew 18 in you cuz I don't know what that means, but you're lobstering me

26:04.600 --> 26:09.400
And then we look it up and it means this. So that's how this sermon came about.

26:09.400 --> 26:12.200
But in Proverbs 18-22 it says,

26:12.200 --> 26:16.120
whoso findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor with the Lord.

26:16.120 --> 26:19.560
So if you find your lobster, you find a good thing.

26:19.560 --> 26:22.520
Right? You find your wife, you get a good thing. You find your husband.

26:22.520 --> 26:25.160
Right? That would be a good thing to find. Right?

26:25.160 --> 26:28.360
And a lobster is something you want from God. Right? Because it's good.

26:28.360 --> 26:31.400
Right? You find favor with the Lord. It's a good thing to find.

26:32.000 --> 26:36.640
My first point is, it's not good for man to be alone.

26:36.640 --> 26:42.400
In Genesis chapter 2, look down in your Bibles in verse 18, the Bible reads,

26:42.400 --> 26:47.040
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone.

26:47.040 --> 26:50.400
I will make him a help me for him.

26:51.600 --> 26:55.760
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air

26:55.760 --> 27:01.280
and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them and whatsoever Adam called every living

27:01.280 --> 27:06.400
creature that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all the cattle and all to the fowl of

27:06.400 --> 27:11.920
the air and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a help me for him.

27:12.500 --> 27:20.500
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof.

27:20.500 --> 27:26.740
And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

27:26.740 --> 27:34.500
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.

27:34.500 --> 27:40.420
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be

27:40.500 --> 27:41.540
one flesh.

27:41.540 --> 27:41.700
He was only 3 when it

27:42.000 --> 27:41.700
started.

27:42.700 --> 27:41.700
You can see the

27:43.120 --> 27:41.700
inton's

27:45.760 --> 27:41.700
inton's

27:46.200 --> 27:41.700
inton's

27:46.720 --> 27:41.700
inton's

27:47.280 --> 27:41.700
inton's

27:47.740 --> 27:41.700
inton's

27:48.240 --> 27:41.700
inton's

27:48.680 --> 27:41.700
thing.

27:49.120 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:49.140 --> 27:41.700
inton's

27:49.680 --> 27:41.700
You can see the

27:50.280 --> 27:41.700
thing.

27:50.660 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:51.120 --> 27:41.700
thing.

27:51.520 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:52.020 --> 27:41.700
thing.

27:52.520 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:52.880 --> 27:41.700
thing.

27:53.420 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:53.740 --> 27:41.700
thing.

27:54.320 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:54.820 --> 27:41.700
thing.

27:55.360 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:55.840 --> 27:41.700
thing.

27:56.400 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:56.720 --> 27:41.700
thing.

27:57.280 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:57.780 --> 27:41.700
thing.

27:58.360 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:58.900 --> 27:41.700
thing.

27:59.500 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:59.820 --> 27:41.700
thing.

28:00.360 --> 27:41.700
It's the

28:00.760 --> 27:41.700
thing.

28:01.300 --> 27:41.700
It's the

28:01.760 --> 27:41.700
thing.

28:02.300 --> 27:41.700
It's the

28:02.720 --> 27:41.700
thing.

28:03.260 --> 27:41.700
It's the

28:03.600 --> 27:41.700
thing.

28:04.100 --> 27:41.700
It's the

28:04.560 --> 27:41.700
thing.

28:05.060 --> 27:41.700
It's the

28:05.560 --> 27:41.700
thing.

28:06.000 --> 27:41.700
It's the

27:42.100 --> 27:49.200
So that passage starts out in verse 18 where God literally makes woman so man is not alone.

27:49.200 --> 27:55.040
He makes the woman for the man because it's not good for man to be alone.

27:55.040 --> 27:58.600
It's not good for a man to be alone.

27:58.600 --> 28:06.920
We were talking after service about some of the things that got brought up that I lived

28:06.920 --> 28:08.440
when I was 18, 19.

28:08.440 --> 28:10.080
I lived with a bunch of guys.

28:10.100 --> 28:15.640
Not good, right? Because you're up to like no good when you're a bunch of young guys in a house together, right?

28:15.640 --> 28:20.620
It's not good for man to be alone. It's definitely not good for man to be yoked up with other men living in a house together.

28:20.860 --> 28:23.940
You get into some nonsense, especially young men, right?

28:24.500 --> 28:30.220
And that's a lot of the crime statistics. You see a lot of young men. They're motivated by other young men. It's not good for...

28:30.700 --> 28:35.620
us to be alone. It's good for us to find something that we actually care about and want to take care of in life, right?

28:35.620 --> 28:40.380
And a wife is a good thing. You get favor from the Lord. And you know, it's a

28:42.220 --> 28:48.140
here in the Bible, it says that's literally why woman was created for marriage, for so the man was not alone.

28:48.140 --> 28:52.220
So having your lobster is a good thing because it's not good for a man to be alone. It's

28:56.200 --> 28:59.660
The point is, it's not good for man to be alone.

28:59.660 --> 29:02.060
That's what God is trying to relay, that it's not good.

29:02.060 --> 29:09.820
So if it's not good, it's probably bad to be alone.

29:09.820 --> 29:13.220
And it's good to find a wife.

29:13.220 --> 29:18.980
And my second point, turn to Genesis chapter 1, it's actually a commandment to be fruitful

29:18.980 --> 29:19.900
and multiply.

29:23.400 --> 29:27.060
In Genesis chapter 1 and verse 26, and God said,

29:27.060 --> 29:29.660
let us make man in our image after our likeness,

29:29.660 --> 29:33.060
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,

29:33.060 --> 29:35.340
and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,

29:35.340 --> 29:37.940
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that

29:37.940 --> 29:39.100
creepeth upon the earth.

29:39.100 --> 29:40.940
So God created man in his own image,

29:40.940 --> 29:45.180
and in the image of God created he, him, male, and female,

29:45.180 --> 29:45.980
created he them.

29:46.500 --> 29:51.140
And God blessed them and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it,

29:51.140 --> 29:56.500
and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moved upon the earth.

29:56.700 --> 30:03.620
So, the physical application of that verse would be to actually find a wife and multiply.

30:03.620 --> 30:06.780
Some of us have done that and some of us have not.

30:06.780 --> 30:09.220
We should be wanting to follow God's commandments.

30:09.220 --> 30:12.980
We should be wanting to replenish the earth, fill the earth up with as many men as possible

30:12.980 --> 30:15.620
because God wants us to do that.

30:15.620 --> 30:17.400
The spiritual application is...

30:17.500 --> 30:21.140
to be fruitful and multiply spiritually, right?

30:21.140 --> 30:22.140
Go out soul-winding, right?

30:22.140 --> 30:24.260
Reproduce other Christians, right?

30:24.260 --> 30:27.020
Bring up the next generation of Christians, right?

30:27.020 --> 30:29.420
In Mark 16, 15 it says,

30:29.420 --> 30:31.540
and he said unto them, Jesus,

30:31.540 --> 30:34.040
go ye into all the world

30:34.040 --> 30:36.220
and preach the gospel to every creature.

30:36.220 --> 30:38.060
And John 15, 16 it says,

30:38.060 --> 30:38.100
you shall not be able to do so.

30:41.060 --> 30:38.100
You shall not be able to do so.

30:44.060 --> 30:38.100
You shall not be able to do so.

30:38.200 --> 30:43.960
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that ye should go and bring forth fruits and that your fruit

30:43.960 --> 30:47.000
Should remain that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name

30:47.000 --> 30:53.660
He shall give it to you so the spiritual application right is to go soul, right? So is it a sin to not go soul?

30:55.220 --> 31:00.000
Yes, right so the physical application it would be a sin to

31:00.640 --> 31:05.780
Reject God's will for mankind to reject the reject marriage

31:06.400 --> 31:11.400
So the physical application, if you're going to reject, like I'm not going to get married.

31:11.400 --> 31:18.400
Even though you actually see women and you actually want to be with women, that would be a sin.

31:18.400 --> 31:23.400
You're rejecting God's plan for humanity to replenish the earth.

31:23.400 --> 31:26.200
Just like it would be a sin for me to never go soul hunting again.

31:29.500 --> 31:35.340
You know, it's a good thing to bring up children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

31:35.340 --> 31:38.000
It's a blessing from God.

31:38.000 --> 31:40.900
The commandments are not grievous unto us.

31:40.900 --> 31:44.560
It's a good thing to follow God's commandments.

31:44.560 --> 31:48.900
I didn't knowingly follow God's commandments when I reproduced.

31:48.900 --> 31:50.180
I was a Cooper and liar.

31:50.180 --> 31:51.720
I wasn't saved.

31:51.720 --> 31:53.060
But it was a good thing for me.

31:53.500 --> 31:58.500
When I found my wife, it was a good thing for me because it gave me direction.

31:58.500 --> 32:02.500
It wasn't just about Jared anymore, it was about somebody else.

32:02.500 --> 32:04.500
I had to provide for somebody else.

32:04.500 --> 32:07.500
And then when Cooper came along, Lyra came along, Mary Ann came along,

32:07.500 --> 32:10.500
I had to actually focus and take care of these people.

32:10.500 --> 32:13.500
Because if it's just me, it's not good for me to be alone.

32:13.500 --> 32:15.500
I don't know what I'm going to get into.

32:15.500 --> 32:18.500
It's very unlikely I would even have got saved if I didn't get married.

32:20.000 --> 32:26.720
Hmm, you know and then we look at the world right they reject marriage right a lot of people on the left right doesn't matter

32:26.720 --> 32:31.380
What political spectrum they're rejecting marriage right and that's why birth rates are plummeting right?

32:31.380 --> 32:34.100
That's why countries like Japan are paying people

32:34.580 --> 32:38.360
White people right because they don't want anybody else right because they're extremely racist over there

32:38.360 --> 32:42.100
But they want white people to come over there and buy our houses right and have babies

32:42.300 --> 32:47.900
Because they realize that their older population is massive right and they can't take care of that older population

32:48.000 --> 32:50.000
and that older population is not going to be able to work.

32:50.000 --> 32:52.000
They're not going to be able to take it.

32:52.000 --> 32:54.000
They're going to implode on themselves.

32:54.000 --> 32:56.000
That will happen to our country.

32:56.000 --> 32:58.000
Because it's a curse from God.

32:58.000 --> 33:00.000
I believe that.

33:00.000 --> 33:02.000
If you're going to reject God's ordained...

33:02.000 --> 33:04.000
He's ordained marriage for us.

33:04.000 --> 33:06.000
He wants us to get married.

33:06.000 --> 33:08.000
He wants us to reproduce and be fruitful and multiply.

33:08.000 --> 33:10.000
If we're not going to do that, then we're not following His commandments,

33:10.000 --> 33:12.000
then that's sin.

33:12.000 --> 33:14.000
He's going to come down on us.

33:14.000 --> 33:14.200
God wants more humans.

33:14.300 --> 33:16.580
And if God wants more humans, what does Satan want?

33:16.580 --> 33:17.420
Less humans.

33:17.700 --> 33:21.340
We don't want to go the way of Bailin, we don't want to go the way of the world, we

33:21.340 --> 33:25.860
don't want to go the way of Tristan and the Tate Brothers.

33:25.860 --> 33:27.980
You shouldn't get married.

33:27.980 --> 33:29.780
The Whatever podcast.

33:29.780 --> 33:31.980
Them and all their whores.

33:31.980 --> 33:33.860
We don't want to be like those people.

33:33.860 --> 33:37.260
We don't want people to be like, oh yeah, the new IFP, the Shur Foundation, they're

33:37.260 --> 33:39.540
just like the Whatever people.

33:39.540 --> 33:40.820
We don't want to be associated with those people.

33:40.820 --> 33:41.820
They're wicked.

33:41.820 --> 33:42.700
They're heathens.

33:43.000 --> 33:48.800
And the left, right, they don't want to have children because there's not enough resources,

33:48.800 --> 33:54.000
not enough room, right, because they're worshiping their mother Gaia, right, they're false gods.

33:54.000 --> 33:57.880
They want to protect the earth, right, so they're killing their own children en masse,

33:57.880 --> 33:58.880
right.

33:58.880 --> 33:59.880
And so is the right.

33:59.880 --> 34:02.840
The right can talk all day about the left, but they kill their children just as much,

34:02.840 --> 34:03.360
right.

34:04.300 --> 34:10.560
It's wicked. It's all wickedness and it's because you're denying the commandments of God.

34:10.560 --> 34:16.460
You're denying His commandments. You don't want to do it.

34:16.460 --> 34:19.660
It's sin to go against God's commandments.

34:19.900 --> 34:24.580
It's sin to reject God's blessings and purpose for your life.

34:24.580 --> 34:30.500
If you're a man or a woman in this church, God wants you to get married.

34:30.500 --> 34:33.620
And of course there's exceptions like Paul.

34:33.620 --> 34:34.620
He could have got married.

34:34.620 --> 34:36.780
The Bible says he could have got married, but he didn't.

34:36.780 --> 34:38.460
He was more useful for God than that.

34:38.460 --> 34:41.860
But I'm going to be honest, I don't think there's any Pauls in here.

34:41.860 --> 34:42.860
Are there any Daniels?

34:42.860 --> 34:43.860
Are you a eunuch?

34:43.860 --> 34:44.860
No.

34:44.860 --> 34:45.980
Then you should get married.

34:46.400 --> 34:48.160
There's no excuse.

34:48.160 --> 34:53.000
And the whatever people, the Tate brothers, they'll say, well, the woman, the law always

34:53.000 --> 34:56.160
sides with the woman when there's a divorce.

34:56.160 --> 35:02.520
It's like, well, are you going to fear a woman doing that and then reject God?

35:02.520 --> 35:07.200
Or are you going to fear the Lord and actually do what you're supposed to be doing?

35:07.200 --> 35:11.600
You shouldn't be so worried about your belongings that you will reject God's commandments to

35:11.600 --> 35:13.280
be fruitful and multiply.

35:14.300 --> 35:15.540
It'd be just like that spiritually.

35:15.540 --> 35:17.100
It's like, well, what if people reject me?

35:17.100 --> 35:17.940
I'll soul-warning.

35:17.940 --> 35:19.940
And then I don't go soul-warning because I'm

35:19.940 --> 35:23.300
fearing rejection, which, me personally, I

35:23.300 --> 35:24.500
don't like getting rejected.

35:24.500 --> 35:25.500
I like talking to people.

35:25.500 --> 35:28.660
I don't like knowing that this person is just super hostile.

35:28.660 --> 35:30.220
We ran into it yesterday in La Paz.

35:30.220 --> 35:32.140
This guy's chasing me around as I'm

35:32.140 --> 35:34.060
trying to preach to people.

35:34.060 --> 35:35.420
And I'm trying to be nice to him.

35:35.420 --> 35:37.900
I'm trying to like, we're just here preaching Jesus.

35:37.900 --> 35:39.660
And it's like, oh, I'm good.

35:39.660 --> 35:40.580
I'm not against Jesus.

35:40.580 --> 35:42.300
Well, the Bible says you're against Jesus if you're

35:42.300 --> 35:44.860
against soul winning, right? These people don't know they're going to heaven and

35:44.860 --> 35:48.420
ended up having to rebuke him and tell him you know I'm gonna dust my feet off

35:48.420 --> 35:52.780
and enjoy Sodom and Gomorrah and enjoy you know being punished by God, right?

35:52.780 --> 35:58.140
And like I said it's a sin to reject good things from the Lord. It's a sin to

35:58.140 --> 36:02.740
reject God's blessings and not want them, right? In James 417 it says,

36:02.740 --> 36:05.980
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth not to him that is sin."

36:06.600 --> 36:09.000
And in Proverbs, when I first started off, it says,

36:09.000 --> 36:11.560
who so findeth the wife, findeth the good thing,

36:11.560 --> 36:13.960
and obtaineth favor with the Lord, right?

36:13.960 --> 36:17.720
So if you know that you want to be with a woman,

36:17.720 --> 36:20.400
you want to be with a man, and you reject that, right?

36:20.700 --> 36:24.980
You should try to do everything that you possibly can to not sin.

36:24.980 --> 36:30.340
Because if I was single, when I was single, there was a lot of fornication.

36:30.340 --> 36:32.580
I was tempted a lot of that.

36:32.580 --> 36:34.180
My wife helps with that.

36:34.180 --> 36:35.940
Your husband will help with that.

36:35.940 --> 36:38.460
It's a good thing to find a wife because then you're not...

36:38.460 --> 36:41.420
Because you have somewhere to go for that need.

36:41.420 --> 36:44.060
You're not tempted by that sin as much.

36:44.060 --> 36:48.180
And turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 7.

36:53.100 --> 36:56.600
So reproducing spiritually, reproducing physically, right?

36:56.600 --> 36:57.600
They are commandments.

36:57.600 --> 36:59.600
It's a sin to reject God's commandments.

37:02.400 --> 37:05.900
In 1 Corinthians chapter 7, verse number 1,

37:05.900 --> 37:08.420
now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me,

37:08.420 --> 37:11.740
it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

37:11.740 --> 37:14.260
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication,

37:14.260 --> 37:16.920
let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have

37:16.920 --> 37:17.960
her own husband.

37:17.960 --> 37:20.660
Let every husband, renounce of the wife, do benevolence,

37:20.660 --> 37:22.780
and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

37:22.780 --> 37:25.420
The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband,

37:25.420 --> 37:29.020
and likewise also the husband, hath not power of his own body,

37:29.020 --> 37:29.820
but the wife.

37:29.820 --> 37:30.320
defraud

37:30.400 --> 37:35.840
ye not one another, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves a

37:35.840 --> 37:42.400
fasting and prayer, and come together again, that Satan not tempt you, tempt you not for

37:42.400 --> 37:44.280
your inconstancy."

37:44.280 --> 37:47.560
So that's why you should get married.

37:47.560 --> 37:48.640
If you get married and ...

37:49.100 --> 37:53.300
You should be having relations with your significant other.

37:53.300 --> 37:55.300
You should not be defrauding one another.

37:55.300 --> 37:59.900
If I have that need, that desire, my wife should not defraud me.

37:59.900 --> 38:02.500
That would be a sin against me and a sin against God.

38:02.800 --> 38:07.980
The reason why I'm getting married is because of fornication.

38:07.980 --> 38:12.800
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife and let every woman

38:12.800 --> 38:13.800
have her own husband.

38:13.800 --> 38:16.580
So it's not just to the man, it's to the woman also.

38:16.580 --> 38:20.540
I don't want to commit fornication, so I have a wife.

38:20.540 --> 38:23.140
And that's why we should, to avoid that.

38:23.140 --> 38:28.140
And then in verse number six, but I speak this by permission and not of commandment,

38:28.140 --> 38:30.500
I would that all men were even as

38:30.800 --> 38:39.680
as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner and another after that.

38:39.680 --> 38:44.560
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.

38:44.560 --> 38:50.160
But if they cannot contain, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn." Right?

38:50.600 --> 39:00.600
So if you're not like Paul, if you can't contain yourself, if you're scrolling online and you see a woman or a man that's attractive and you stare a little bit too long, you're not like Paul.

39:00.600 --> 39:11.600
You need to find a wife. And you shouldn't let the fear of the world, the fear of man, keep you from that. It's a sin. You should fear God, not man.

39:11.600 --> 39:17.000
man. So, you know, Paul, he can contain himself, right?

39:17.900 --> 39:23.220
But it's a sin not to seek a wife. It's a sin not to find your lobster, right?

39:25.100 --> 39:31.020
And in Hebrews 13 for marriage is honor and all and let the bed be an unfiled before mongers and adulterers

39:31.500 --> 39:36.840
God will judge right so we don't judge by God. We don't punish by God so find yourself a lobster, right?

39:37.180 --> 39:42.880
By point number three the lobster you are seeking for and the lobster you should strive to be women

39:43.400 --> 39:45.800
And Proverbs 31, right? It talks about the virtuous woman.

39:45.800 --> 39:49.080
Right? I'm going to speed this along, but the virtuous woman is who we're seeking, right?

39:49.080 --> 39:52.840
We're not going to the non-non-non-church and looking for, you know, a lobster, right?

39:52.840 --> 39:57.880
There's just crabs there, right? We don't want crabs, right? We want lobsters, right?

39:57.880 --> 40:00.840
We want a virtuous woman. We don't want whores, right?

40:02.040 --> 40:05.960
And my point number, point number four is the lobster tank, right?

40:06.600 --> 40:08.260
If you want a lobster, you want a lobster tank.

40:08.260 --> 40:09.540
And who is the lobster tank?

40:09.540 --> 40:10.460
That's God.

40:10.460 --> 40:12.460
The good life comes from the Lord, right?

40:12.460 --> 40:13.380
He's the lobster tank.

40:13.380 --> 40:15.840
If you want your lobster, go to the lobster tank, right?

40:15.840 --> 40:18.500
Ask him, and he shall receive, right?

40:18.500 --> 40:21.740
In Matthew 7, it says, ask, and it shall be given unto you.

40:21.740 --> 40:22.820
Seek, and ye shall find.

40:22.820 --> 40:24.100
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

40:24.100 --> 40:25.800
For every one that asketh, receiveth,

40:25.800 --> 40:29.140
and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh,

40:29.140 --> 40:30.540
it shall be opened, right?

40:30.540 --> 40:33.300
So if you ask God, honestly, and you honestly want that,

40:33.300 --> 40:34.600
it's a promise from God that you

40:34.600 --> 40:40.240
will get it. Maybe you're asking to miss. Maybe you're not asking honestly. Because

40:40.240 --> 40:46.640
when I finally decided I was tired of being alone, next day I had met Kelly. I didn't

40:46.640 --> 40:51.960
ask God of it, but God, he blesses the unsaved and the saved. The same. It rains on the unsaved.

40:51.960 --> 40:53.440
It rains on the saved.

40:53.900 --> 40:58.460
If you want a wife, actually go and try to find a wife for one week.

40:58.460 --> 41:04.620
Let's say I'm in need of a car, and I'm asking God for a car, but I do nothing to go find a car.

41:04.620 --> 41:08.460
Do I actually want it? No.

41:08.460 --> 41:12.940
So you should be actively seeking for a wife, and that's different for everybody.

41:12.940 --> 41:17.260
Just like soul winning. We should go soul winning. The standard here is once a week.

41:17.260 --> 41:20.780
In the Bible, does that say once a week? No.

41:21.000 --> 41:24.040
I go more because I'm convicted to do more.

41:24.040 --> 41:27.080
I feel like I should do more because I have less time, because I spend a lot of time in

41:27.080 --> 41:28.080
the world.

41:28.080 --> 41:29.080
I'm convicted to do more.

41:29.080 --> 41:30.480
I care more.

41:30.480 --> 41:35.640
You should be finding a wife by your own convictions.

41:35.640 --> 41:42.200
You know if you're honestly asking for the Lord honestly for a wife and seeking for a

41:42.200 --> 41:43.200
wife.

41:43.200 --> 41:45.640
And so I'll just end with this.

41:47.600 --> 41:53.640
Proverbs 3, it says, trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean on his own understanding

41:53.640 --> 41:57.880
and all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.

41:57.880 --> 41:59.240
The Lord is the lobster tank.

41:59.240 --> 42:01.020
If you want a lobster, go to the Lord.

42:01.020 --> 42:02.720
Ask him for it.

42:02.720 --> 42:03.720
Seek it.

42:03.720 --> 42:07.880
And, you know, let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

42:07.880 --> 42:10.440
If you know your sinning, you know your sinning.

42:10.440 --> 42:12.840
You should be looking for that lobster.

42:12.840 --> 42:13.840
Find it.

42:13.840 --> 42:14.280
Ask the Lord.

42:14.800 --> 42:16.700
Yeah, next person.

42:20.700 --> 42:21.500
by the way

42:35.900 --> 42:43.120
Okay, so this evening I'm gonna be preaching on Hebrews 6 the title of my sermon is Hebrews 6 falling away

42:43.640 --> 42:48.900
Explained so if you could turn to Hebrews 6 there. I'm mainly just gonna be going through

42:50.020 --> 42:51.900
verses 1 through 8

42:52.200 --> 42:55.640
in depth, just trying to explain this.

42:55.640 --> 43:01.240
Many people have different interpretations of this.

43:01.240 --> 43:05.960
The main motivation behind why I want to preach this is because mostly the Protestant world

43:05.960 --> 43:13.680
and even some Baptists preach that this verse, especially in verse 6, proves that you can

43:13.680 --> 43:15.180
lose your salvation.

43:15.180 --> 43:19.980
falling away is losing salvation.

43:20.200 --> 43:25.880
of drawing back, making shipwreck of your faith, but falling away.

43:26.600 --> 43:32.600
they would say is the same thing. So my main motivation is to prove that that's not what it means here.

43:32.600 --> 43:42.100
Another interpretation, you know, is that this is talking about saved people and that it's impossible for them to be saved again.

43:42.100 --> 43:50.600
And I just want to say immediately that I'm not preaching against that. I, in fact, would love to hear a sermon on that.

43:50.600 --> 43:53.600
But my stance, what I'm going to...

43:54.600 --> 44:00.200
preach about here is that I think this is referring to reprobates. I think it's

44:00.200 --> 44:04.880
people who fell away from the principles of the doctrines of Christ who got a

44:04.880 --> 44:10.800
preview of it but were dull of hearing. So I'll just explain that here as quickly

44:10.800 --> 44:16.800
as possible. So like everybody says, you know, you've got to get the context, right?

44:16.800 --> 44:21.600
So let's look at the context of Hebrews 6 in

44:21.600 --> 44:25.120
Hebrews 5, go to verse 11 there.

44:26.000 --> 44:32.320
It says of whom we have many things to say and hard to be uttered seeing your dole of

44:32.320 --> 44:33.320
hearing.

44:33.320 --> 44:40.100
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again, which

44:40.100 --> 44:47.460
be the first principles of the oracles of God, and become such as have need of milk

44:47.460 --> 44:49.840
and not of strong meat.

44:49.840 --> 44:52.840
So Paul is saying here that, you know,

44:54.000 --> 44:56.640
He's implying that some here are dull of hearing.

44:56.640 --> 45:02.520
They're not hearing the principles of the doctrines of Christ, okay?

45:02.520 --> 45:06.400
And I go to that context because it starts off right away.

45:07.100 --> 45:09.460
In Hebrews 6, let's go to verse 1,

45:09.460 --> 45:13.060
Therefore, leaving the principles of the doctrines of Christ,

45:13.060 --> 45:16.740
let us go on unto perfection, okay?

45:16.740 --> 45:21.380
So, he's striving for perfection here, meaning completeness, alright?

45:21.380 --> 45:24.380
Not laying again the foundation, okay?

45:24.380 --> 45:26.820
Of, of, well that's what the next part is, okay?

45:26.820 --> 45:32.140
He's saying like, hey, let's not lay the foundation again of the principles of doctrines of Christ, okay?

45:32.140 --> 45:32.940
So,

45:33.500 --> 45:39.820
the foundation of repentance from dead works and faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms,

45:39.820 --> 45:45.900
and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

45:55.400 --> 46:02.620
Let's not keep establishing this groundwork. Okay, let's move on to perfection and then it says here meaning completeness

46:03.000 --> 46:08.360
It says in verse 3 this will we do if God permit?

46:08.560 --> 46:13.400
Okay, so he's implying that we're not gonna be able to move forward to completion

46:13.760 --> 46:19.200
Okay, if this groundwork is not late and he's saying you're dull of hearing so

46:22.500 --> 46:29.700
A reference to this Dole of Hearing language that's spoken of here in Hebrews 5, you see

46:29.700 --> 46:32.260
it in Matthew 13.15.

46:32.800 --> 46:39.000
Jesus says for this people's heart is wax gross and their ears are dull of hearing and their eyes

46:39.000 --> 46:40.860
They have clothes less at any time

46:40.860 --> 46:47.520
They should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and should understand with their heart and should be

46:47.820 --> 46:56.200
Converted and I should heal them okay, so they're dull of hearing the principles and doctrines of Christ all right, so

46:57.200 --> 46:59.920
and they're not going to be able to move on to perfection.

46:59.920 --> 47:03.440
And he's saying, let's not lay this groundwork again, okay?

47:03.440 --> 47:10.920
So if they're dull of hearing, alright, that means that they're not believing on the principles and doctrines of Christ.

47:10.920 --> 47:12.440
They're not taking it in.

47:12.440 --> 47:15.700
So in 2 John 9 here, it says,

47:15.700 --> 47:22.700
Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.

47:22.700 --> 47:25.200
He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ,

47:25.200 --> 47:28.960
he have both the father and the son.

47:28.960 --> 47:31.600
Okay, so it's implied here that...

47:32.500 --> 47:36.900
Basically because they're dole of hearing and if if God's not going to permit them to move forward

47:36.980 --> 47:43.640
It's very possible. There's some there that they they don't have the doctrine of Christ and they're not saved

47:43.640 --> 47:50.220
And that's why one reason I believe this is talking about reprobates people that cannot receive the word

47:50.360 --> 47:53.080
Okay. Now this next verse, all right

47:54.300 --> 48:00.460
Verse 4, Hebrews 6, 4-5, is this talking about saved people?

48:00.460 --> 48:03.220
Because people would look at this and say,

48:03.220 --> 48:05.540
hey, this is referring to saved people.

48:05.540 --> 48:08.700
And later on, it says, if they shall fall away to renew them

48:08.700 --> 48:09.700
under repentance.

48:09.700 --> 48:11.060
OK?

48:11.060 --> 48:11.560
So.

48:12.000 --> 48:15.560
In verse 4, is this talking about saved people?

48:15.560 --> 48:16.560
Let's go through this.

48:16.560 --> 48:22.160
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly

48:22.160 --> 48:28.440
gift and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost and have tasted the good word of God

48:28.440 --> 48:31.700
and the powers of the world to come.

48:31.700 --> 48:34.240
So is that talking about saved people?

48:34.240 --> 48:34.600
So.

48:34.900 --> 48:41.300
When the Bible talks about saved people, it generally uses words that imply permanence.

48:41.300 --> 48:44.100
So it uses words like sealed, okay?

48:44.100 --> 48:48.900
Saved, eternal, born again, kept, okay?

48:48.900 --> 48:52.100
And I believe all these words that are spoken here...

48:52.800 --> 48:58.880
are kind of like, I mean it uses words like tasted, enlightened, partakers, okay?

48:58.880 --> 49:02.720
So, like when you go to Sam's Club, right, you taste the food.

49:02.720 --> 49:08.240
You can either receive it or reject it. You can not like it, or you can buy it or you can not buy it.

49:08.240 --> 49:14.800
But, I honestly think that all these other words, enlightened and partakers,

49:15.700 --> 49:34.420
are equal with where it talks about tasted it's basically saying the same thing just not repeated because it would have been kind of dumb if it had just said like you know they once tasted this tasted that like constantly it says enlightened and it says partakers okay so

49:35.800 --> 49:39.000
I think these are all past tense as well.

49:39.000 --> 49:42.200
So think about, just use soul winning as an example, right?

49:42.200 --> 49:48.000
When we go soul winning, when we speak the Word of God to people, okay, and they start

49:48.000 --> 49:51.960
to get it, don't they kind of seem enlightened?

49:51.960 --> 49:57.400
Don't they kind of seem like the light bulb just went off in their head and they get it?

49:57.400 --> 50:00.760
They're getting the principles and doctrines of Christ, okay?

50:00.760 --> 50:01.100
it.

50:02.100 --> 50:06.360
Don't we also see that that light bulb tends to go out?

50:06.360 --> 50:08.160
They choose to reject it.

50:08.160 --> 50:10.320
It's like they got it, but then they rejected it.

50:10.800 --> 50:16.280
Or you see, you know, like when we're giving them the Word of God, okay, they're getting

50:16.280 --> 50:18.820
a taste of the Word of God, okay?

50:18.820 --> 50:22.560
Now when someone visits here, they're getting a taste of the Word of God.

50:22.560 --> 50:26.340
But when you're coming to church and you're reading the Bible and you're preaching and

50:26.340 --> 50:30.320
you're sowing and you're ushering, I would not say that this is someone who's getting

50:30.320 --> 50:34.920
a taste of the Word of God as a saved person.

50:35.500 --> 50:42.760
Okay, the hardest part about this one is the description of partakers of the Holy Ghost.

50:42.760 --> 50:49.660
Like I said before, I think this also means, you could say tasted of the Holy Ghost.

50:49.660 --> 50:52.260
is in the Bible.

50:53.100 --> 51:00.340
The Holy Spirit does come upon people that are not saved.

51:00.340 --> 51:04.380
In Luke 1.13, John the Baptist says,

51:04.900 --> 51:09.460
Luke 1 15 for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord and shall drink

51:09.460 --> 51:14.700
neither wine nor strong drink and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even

51:14.700 --> 51:19.180
from his mother's womb well John the Baptist had to believe on the Lord Jesus

51:19.180 --> 51:24.580
Christ too and get saved okay so that's an example of the Holy Ghost being upon

51:24.580 --> 51:30.340
from his mother's womb it says so then in numbers 24 to okay with Balaam and

51:30.340 --> 51:32.900
Balaam lifted up his eyes and he saw Israel

51:32.900 --> 51:38.500
abiding in his tents according to their tribes and the Spirit of God came upon him."

51:38.500 --> 51:42.940
Well, I mean we know that from Jude that Balaam was a false prophet, okay?

51:43.060 --> 51:51.380
But the Spirit of God was upon him. So you could say they those individuals were a partaker of the Holy Ghost.

51:51.380 --> 51:53.820
They got a taste of the Holy Ghost, okay, but

51:54.900 --> 52:00.440
Obviously John the Baptist was saved okay, but Balaam. He was a partaker. He got a taste of it, but he wasn't saved

52:00.440 --> 52:05.060
He's false prophet, so I think even though it says partakers of the Holy Ghost

52:05.060 --> 52:10.320
I think God would have been very quick very clear if it had said you know

52:10.720 --> 52:18.160
Indwelled with the Holy Ghost sealed with the Holy Spirit, but that's not what it says because the other verses say taste it so

52:19.040 --> 52:22.260
Let's let's move forward okay, so in verse 6

52:23.700 --> 52:30.140
You know, falling away, I believe this is not referring to loss of salvation, okay?

52:30.140 --> 52:33.540
Because what are they falling away from, right?

52:33.540 --> 52:41.460
It's okay, if they shall fall away to renew them again under repentance, seeing they crucify

52:41.460 --> 52:45.720
to themselves the Son of God afresh, okay?

52:45.720 --> 52:50.880
So what they're falling away from here is the principles and doctrines of Christ.

52:50.880 --> 52:51.640
And it says early-

52:51.700 --> 52:54.180
hear, that they're dull of hearing.

52:54.180 --> 52:58.540
So I would say that this implies that they rejected it.

52:58.540 --> 53:03.980
They heard it, they were enlightened, they got a taste of it, but they didn't receive

53:03.980 --> 53:08.020
it and they fell away from those teachings.

53:08.020 --> 53:15.100
And so because of that, why I believe this is referring to reprobates, okay, is because

53:15.100 --> 53:16.700
It goes on to say...

53:16.900 --> 53:22.820
So, for it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, these individuals who got

53:22.820 --> 53:29.060
a taste of the Word of God, who were partakers of the Holy Ghost, who were learning these

53:29.060 --> 53:34.760
principles, if they shall fall away, to renew them again under repentance.

53:34.760 --> 53:39.800
God is saying that it's impossible to renew them again under repentance, implying that

53:40.200 --> 53:43.000
it's impossible to change their minds again.

53:43.000 --> 53:45.700
If they went through these principles before

53:45.700 --> 53:47.200
and they were dull of hearing,

53:47.200 --> 53:51.200
at this point, if they're not going to believe in that foundation,

53:51.200 --> 53:55.200
he's saying that it's impossible to renew them again under repentance.

53:55.200 --> 53:58.100
He's saying at this point, it's impossible to change your mind.

53:59.600 --> 54:07.760
Seen that they crucified to themselves the son of God of fresh and put him to an open shame. They're crucifying

54:08.420 --> 54:14.800
Jesus again themselves. They're rejecting him like as the Bible says twice dead plucked up by the roots, right?

54:15.720 --> 54:18.640
so it and it goes on

54:19.280 --> 54:22.660
Okay, he gives this analogy. It's very interesting here

54:24.800 --> 54:32.280
It says in verse 7 for the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh off upon it and bringeth forth herbs meat

54:32.320 --> 54:37.080
For them by whom it is dressed receiveth blessing from God

54:37.080 --> 54:43.660
Okay, so before I go further on the florence and briars, you know, I think the analogy guys giving here is like the earth

54:44.560 --> 54:51.160
Represents the person hearing the word of God. Okay, the rain is the word of God. Okay, and obviously

54:51.700 --> 55:01.700
In this analogy, they're receiving the rain, they're receiving the word of God, alright, and bringing forth herbs, alright, and the blessing, right?

55:01.700 --> 55:11.700
But, it goes on, but that which beareth thorns and briars is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing, whose end is to be burned.

55:11.700 --> 55:12.540
So, again.

55:12.700 --> 55:17.020
The ground in the first one is the one who receives the rain, the word of God,

55:17.020 --> 55:20.540
all right, and brings forth fruit. But then...

55:21.100 --> 55:26.700
But that which beareth thorns, this is the individual, okay, who it's like it doesn't

55:26.700 --> 55:31.300
matter how much rain, how much the word of God you give it and give it and give it, it's

55:31.300 --> 55:34.220
just going to bear thorns and briars.

55:34.220 --> 55:36.820
So this is an individual that's dull of hearing.

55:36.820 --> 55:40.900
That's why they're bringing forth thorns and briars because they're not believing on Lord

55:40.900 --> 55:43.420
Jesus Christ when they're being given the principles of God.

55:43.420 --> 55:44.800
Does that make sense?

55:44.800 --> 55:49.080
So Thorne's and Briar's also, I mean, there's really just nowhere in the-

55:49.100 --> 55:57.260
Bible where thorns and briars are used to describe a saved person of any kind.

55:57.260 --> 56:00.460
You think about thorns and briars, they're really useless.

56:00.460 --> 56:05.180
The thorns and briars don't even bring forth any fruit.

56:05.180 --> 56:10.460
You grab them, they make you bleed, they're annoying, they choke things.

56:10.460 --> 56:10.800
You

56:11.200 --> 56:18.240
It's saying it doesn't matter basically how much you pour rain on that ground. It's just gonna bring forth thorns and briars

56:18.800 --> 56:22.880
Okay, and is nigh unto cursing whose end is to be burned

56:23.280 --> 56:27.360
Okay, so I believe this this is like a reference to hell

56:27.600 --> 56:31.560
Okay, that these individuals they had a taste of the good word of God

56:31.640 --> 56:34.080
They were enlightened by it like they got it

56:34.080 --> 56:39.100
But they reject it because their dole of hearing just like mentioned back in Matthew just like they

56:39.200 --> 56:45.520
couldn't hear, they couldn't believe, and their hearts were hardened.

56:45.520 --> 56:50.940
Does falling away, why I call it falling away, explain?

56:50.940 --> 56:56.180
Does falling away refer to an individual who lost their salvation?

56:56.180 --> 57:01.680
I don't believe so, because these individuals weren't saved to begin with.

57:01.680 --> 57:04.440
If you just look at it, they were dole of hearing.

57:04.440 --> 57:05.040
They never...

57:05.800 --> 57:09.280
Moved beyond the first principles the oracles of God

57:09.480 --> 57:16.920
So if anybody ever tries to use this to say like hey this proves you could lose your salvation

57:16.920 --> 57:24.560
I believe in one say but not the always saved if you reject God, okay, you know, yeah, you could lose your salvation. Okay

57:25.160 --> 57:31.560
This here I believe the falling away is just referring to those who you know, they couldn't be renewed

57:32.200 --> 57:36.200
They couldn't be renewed to repentance. They couldn't be saved. They didn't hear it.

57:36.200 --> 57:40.200
So I'll end there with my sermon.

57:44.100 --> 57:45.100
Okay, Rashid.

57:50.700 --> 57:52.700
Alright, amen.

57:53.800 --> 58:00.800
The title of my sermon is, Is Paul a False Prophet? Is Paul a False Prophet?

58:00.800 --> 58:06.800
So, you had a lot of examples of people in the Bible rejecting Paul's apostleship,

58:06.800 --> 58:11.800
and you had him having to defend himself against these false accusers,

58:11.800 --> 58:17.800
and then right after the first century you had these Jewish sects that claimed to believe in Jesus,

58:17.800 --> 58:21.640
One of them called the Ebeonites who they were saying

58:21.800 --> 58:26.540
know we rock with Jesus but Paul he's a false prophet he's an apostate he's

58:26.540 --> 58:32.520
leading people down a different path and nowadays in the 21st century you have

58:32.520 --> 58:38.300
the two main groups who do who has this doctrine that Paul is a false prophet

58:39.000 --> 58:45.500
One of them being the Hebrew Roots Movement that say that we need to follow all those Jewish laws in the Old Testament.

58:45.500 --> 58:46.700
That's what Jesus taught.

58:46.700 --> 58:51.300
And Paul came and messed all that up and taught a false gospel different from Jesus.

58:51.300 --> 58:55.300
Because Jesus was teaching the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God.

58:55.300 --> 58:57.600
And Paul was teaching his own gospel.

58:57.600 --> 59:06.900
And then the second version of these people would be those liberal theologians, the red letter only-ism Christians that...

59:07.000 --> 59:12.000
they will only follow the four gospels and then everything after that they reject.

59:12.000 --> 59:14.680
So turn to Acts chapter 26.

59:15.000 --> 59:21.720
Acts chapter 26, I'm going to read to you Acts chapter 9 verse 15. You have Ananias,

59:21.720 --> 59:26.600
you have Jesus Christ speaking to Ananias telling him that he's choosing Paul and Ananias

59:26.600 --> 59:31.080
is kind of hesitant like are you talking about the same Paul who was you know killing us?

59:31.720 --> 59:34.600
Are you talking about that Paul or a different Paul? And he was like no I'm talking about that

59:34.600 --> 59:41.320
Paul specifically. Acts chapter 9 verse 15 the Bible says, but the Lord said unto him go thy way

59:41.320 --> 59:43.000
for he is a chosen v-

59:43.000 --> 59:49.600
vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel,

59:49.600 --> 59:54.200
and I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake."

59:54.200 --> 01:00:00.720
So an argument they use is just because Jesus Christ chose Paul to be an apostle doesn't

01:00:00.720 --> 01:00:06.840
mean that he's not a false prophet because Jesus Christ also chose Judas and Judas was

01:00:06.840 --> 01:00:07.940
a false prophet.

01:00:07.940 --> 01:00:10.740
The difference is Jesus did choose...

01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:16.240
Judas but he chose him for a specific purpose just like he chose Paul and as we just read

01:00:16.240 --> 01:00:22.200
Jesus chose Paul to you know bear his name to the Gentiles to the children of Israel

01:00:22.200 --> 01:00:26.760
and to kings and to everybody that he had his ministry with while Judas on the other

01:00:26.760 --> 01:00:32.920
hand he was chosen to betray Christ and then he was chosen for damnation because he was

01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:33.920
a rebel.

01:00:33.920 --> 01:00:39.000
You should be in Acts chapter 26 verse 15 the Bible says and I said who art thou Lord?

01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:45.780
And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest, but rise and stand upon thy feet, for I have

01:00:45.780 --> 01:00:51.080
appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these

01:00:51.080 --> 01:00:57.920
things which thou hast seen, and of those things in which I will appear unto thee, delivering

01:00:57.920 --> 01:00:59.400
thee from the people.

01:00:59.800 --> 01:01:07.160
and from the Gentiles unto whom now I send thee to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light and

01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:15.360
from the power of Satan unto God that they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance among them which are sanctified

01:01:15.860 --> 01:01:24.040
by faith which is in me." So Jesus Christ, you can see he chose Paul on the road to Damascus to fulfill his will and

01:01:25.100 --> 01:01:30.300
Acts wasn't written by Paul, Acts was written by Dr. Luke.

01:01:30.300 --> 01:01:35.300
Turn to 2 Peter chapter 3.

01:01:35.300 --> 01:01:44.300
You also have other people verifying Paul and his ministry with that being Peter the Apostle.

01:01:44.300 --> 01:01:48.300
You should be in 2 Peter chapter 3 verse 15.

01:01:48.300 --> 01:01:51.300
2nd Peter chapter 3 verse 15 the Bible says

01:01:51.900 --> 01:01:55.420
and account that the long suffering of our Lord is salvation,

01:01:55.420 --> 01:02:00.580
even as our beloved brother Paul, also according to the wisdom given unto him,

01:02:00.580 --> 01:02:06.300
have written unto you, as also in all his epistles speaking in them of these things,

01:02:06.300 --> 01:02:09.180
in which are some things hard to be understood,

01:02:09.180 --> 01:02:12.060
which they that are unlearned in unstable rest,

01:02:12.060 --> 01:02:16.180
as they do also the other scriptures unto their own destruction."

01:02:16.180 --> 01:02:19.820
So, just like people don't understand what, you know, Paul...

01:02:19.900 --> 01:02:23.460
Paul is saying in the Bible they're not going to understand other versions of scriptures

01:02:23.460 --> 01:02:24.460
because they're not saved.

01:02:24.460 --> 01:02:29.140
And it's not only Peter and it's not only Ananias, but you had Barnabas that was accepting

01:02:29.140 --> 01:02:32.360
of Paul, you had James that was accepting of Paul.

01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:35.220
There was nobody that was not accepting of Paul.

01:02:35.220 --> 01:02:37.180
Turn to Galatians chapter 2.

01:02:37.180 --> 01:02:38.060
Galatians chapter 2.

01:02:39.300 --> 01:02:47.700
Galatians chapter 2. Even in Paul's own testimony, he went to the apostles and they all accepted

01:02:47.700 --> 01:02:54.740
him as a brother in Christ, as a fellow apostle. And if he really was this false prophet,

01:02:54.740 --> 01:02:58.580
wouldn't you think that, well, they already learned what happened with Judas, so we would

01:02:58.580 --> 01:03:04.180
be more careful the next time we're choosing who to fellowship with. And obviously, he passed the

01:03:04.180 --> 01:03:07.260
test for all of them. You should be in Galatians chapter 2 verse 9.

01:03:07.300 --> 01:03:10.540
The Bible says, and when James, Cephas, and John,

01:03:10.540 --> 01:03:14.440
who seem to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me,

01:03:14.440 --> 01:03:19.000
they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship

01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:23.540
that we should go unto the heathen and they unto the circumcision.

01:03:23.540 --> 01:03:26.780
So when he met with the apostles, they received him.

01:03:26.780 --> 01:03:29.440
Now you, you know, all through the New Testament,

01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:33.520
Paul is saying he is chosen by Jesus Christ and God.

01:03:33.520 --> 01:03:35.240
I'm going to read all the mentions that...

01:03:35.300 --> 01:03:37.540
1st Corinthians chapter 1 verse 1 Paul says,

01:03:37.540 --> 01:03:39.640
Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ

01:03:39.640 --> 01:03:43.020
through the will of God and so Neathius our brother.

01:03:43.020 --> 01:03:44.640
2nd Corinthians chapter 1 verse 1,

01:03:44.640 --> 01:03:47.120
Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God

01:03:47.120 --> 01:03:49.460
and Timothy our brother unto the church of God

01:03:49.460 --> 01:03:53.140
which is in Corinth with all the saints which are in Achaia.

01:03:53.140 --> 01:03:54.780
Galatians chapter 1 verse 1,

01:03:54.780 --> 01:03:57.940
Paul an apostle not of men neither by man

01:03:57.940 --> 01:04:00.260
but by Jesus Christ and God the father

01:04:00.260 --> 01:04:01.540
who raised him from the dead.

01:04:01.540 --> 01:04:03.220
Ephesians chapter 1 verse 1.

01:04:03.300 --> 01:04:08.180
Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God to the saints which are at Ephesus

01:04:08.180 --> 01:04:12.700
and to the faithful in Christ Jesus. Colossians chapter 1 verse 1 Paul an apostle of Jesus

01:04:12.700 --> 01:04:17.520
Christ by the will of God and Timotheus our brother. First Timothy chapter 1 verse 1 Paul

01:04:17.520 --> 01:04:22.100
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our savior and lord Jesus Christ which

01:04:22.100 --> 01:04:26.900
is our hope and finally Second Timothy chapter 1 verse 1 Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ

01:04:26.900 --> 01:04:30.900
by the will of God according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus.

01:04:31.600 --> 01:04:36.800
I think we get the point that, you know, Paul was chosen by the will of God, by the commandment of God,

01:04:36.800 --> 01:04:42.240
and if somebody's going to reject that, you know, best-case scenario, they're just not saved,

01:04:42.240 --> 01:04:48.080
and you know, they're a little mixed up, and they need to get saved. Worst-case scenario, they're a reprobate.

01:04:48.300 --> 01:04:52.420
Worse-case scenario, they are false prophets teaching people that Paul

01:04:52.900 --> 01:04:58.200
You know diverted Christianity into another direction that was away from Jesus Christ

01:04:58.540 --> 01:05:02.600
Now there's three examples three big hang ups that these people have on

01:05:03.020 --> 01:05:11.300
Whether Paul was a real prophet of God or a real apostle and a false apostle turn to a Romans chapter 9 verse 5

01:05:11.900 --> 01:05:19.900
Romans chapter 9. What they'll say is Jesus taught that he was the Son of God and that the only God was God the Father.

01:05:19.900 --> 01:05:31.900
And Paul taught that Jesus Christ was God along with God the Father. So Paul was teaching us to commit idolatry with Jesus and to worship him and to call him God.

01:05:31.900 --> 01:05:37.900
And the real Christians, the real apostles like Peter, they knew that he was only the Son of God and not God himself.

01:05:37.900 --> 01:05:39.900
Romans chapter 9 verse 5.

01:05:39.900 --> 01:05:46.080
The Bible says, who are the fathers of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came who is

01:05:46.080 --> 01:05:48.840
over all God bless forever amen.

01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:50.480
Turn to Revelation chapter 1 verse 8.

01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:54.380
So you know there's a lot of places in the New Testament where Paul is teaching that

01:05:54.380 --> 01:05:57.840
Jesus Christ is God in the flesh.

01:05:57.840 --> 01:05:59.320
He is the only true God.

01:05:59.320 --> 01:06:04.180
He is the God of gods, the Lord of lords, the King of kings and that's very clear through

01:06:04.180 --> 01:06:07.860
Scripture but you also have Jesus Christ saying the

01:06:07.900 --> 01:06:08.660
same thing.

01:06:09.500 --> 01:06:14.500
Now, are there more statements with Paul saying it more than Jesus?

01:06:14.500 --> 01:06:21.140
Yes, but as I just read to you, Jesus Christ gave Paul revelation directly.

01:06:21.140 --> 01:06:27.140
He was with Paul the most out of any of the apostles, so that's why he wrote so many books

01:06:27.140 --> 01:06:28.140
in the New Testament.

01:06:28.140 --> 01:06:30.380
So that's why Paul speaks on this topic more.

01:06:30.380 --> 01:06:34.460
But Jesus Christ said flat out, you should be in Revelation chapter 1 verse 8, Jesus

01:06:34.460 --> 01:06:37.500
said, I am Alpha and Omega.

01:06:37.500 --> 01:06:38.000
makeup.

01:06:38.200 --> 01:06:41.640
the beginning and the ending saith the Lord which is and which was

01:06:41.640 --> 01:06:45.480
and which is to come. Alpha and Omega is the first

01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:49.320
and the last letter of the Greek alphabet so Jesus is just reiterating

01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:50.680
that He's the first and the last

01:06:50.680 --> 01:06:54.200
He was there in the beginning and He knows the end

01:06:54.200 --> 01:06:58.560
and at the end He says the Almighty. You know the Almighty of what? How many

01:06:58.560 --> 01:07:01.480
Almighty's are there? There's only one Almighty. It means you're

01:07:01.480 --> 01:07:04.920
mighty over all and that is who Jesus is. Now

01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:06.200
The second thing though...

01:07:06.200 --> 01:07:12.200
say is that, turn to Luke chapter 22, second thing they'll say is Jesus taught us to follow

01:07:12.200 --> 01:07:19.920
the law, the Mosaic law, and to not eat pork, to not eat selfish, to follow the Sabbath,

01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:23.560
and you know, to do all these things that are written in the Old Testament.

01:07:23.560 --> 01:07:27.320
Then Paul came along and destroyed the law, and you see him getting accused of that in

01:07:27.320 --> 01:07:33.960
the book of Acts as teaching people to forsake Moses and to abandon the law and all that

01:07:34.200 --> 01:07:37.160
But now, you know when Jesus Christ was on earth

01:07:37.680 --> 01:07:43.760
Obviously it was still the Old Testament and he did follow those Old Testament laws and you know

01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:46.900
If you would have broke them that technically would have been considered sinning

01:07:46.900 --> 01:07:51.860
So I know in the Bible when you open your Bible it says New Testament Matthew Mark Luke and John

01:07:51.860 --> 01:07:59.000
But technically most of that is still in the Old Testament period but Jesus said and Luke chapter 22 verse 20

01:07:59.200 --> 01:08:00.600
he said

01:08:00.700 --> 01:08:04.860
Likewise, also the cup after supper saying,

01:08:04.860 --> 01:08:07.980
this is the New Testament in my blood,

01:08:07.980 --> 01:08:09.180
which is shed for many.

01:08:09.180 --> 01:08:11.740
So Jesus Christ told us that there was going to be

01:08:11.740 --> 01:08:14.620
a New Testament after the Old Testament,

01:08:14.620 --> 01:08:17.500
and logically following, you wouldn't need a New Testament

01:08:17.500 --> 01:08:19.220
unless something has changed.

01:08:19.220 --> 01:08:21.980
So obviously not everything changed.

01:08:21.980 --> 01:08:23.580
Like we're not allowed to murder,

01:08:23.580 --> 01:08:24.860
we're not allowed to cross dress,

01:08:24.860 --> 01:08:26.540
we're not allowed to rape people,

01:08:26.540 --> 01:08:28.620
just because that was in the Old Testament.

01:08:28.700 --> 01:08:34.140
You know, Paul or Jesus are not saying we're not supposed to do those things, but the change

01:08:34.140 --> 01:08:41.140
has been in how the Old Testament ceremonial laws and dietary laws have came.

01:08:41.140 --> 01:08:41.460
You know...

01:08:41.800 --> 01:08:47.640
And another thing they'll say is, oh, Paul taught that people don't have to follow the law to go to heaven,

01:08:47.640 --> 01:08:51.320
but Jesus taught something else. Turn to Matthew chapter 19 verse 16.

01:08:51.320 --> 01:08:56.520
Now, you do have at least three statements when somebody is asking Jesus,

01:08:56.520 --> 01:09:00.600
you know, what do I have to do to be saved? What do I have to do to give eternal life?

01:09:01.320 --> 01:09:05.000
And Jesus says you have to follow the commandments. You know, Jesus does say that,

01:09:05.000 --> 01:09:09.720
but since those people are not saved, they're not understanding that Jesus is trying to get them.

01:09:09.800 --> 01:09:15.560
to see the bigger picture. You should be in Matthew chapter 19 verse 16 when Jesus is

01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:21.480
speaking to the young rich ruler. The Bible says, and behold one came and said unto him,

01:09:21.480 --> 01:09:27.880
good master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? So he's coming to Jesus

01:09:27.880 --> 01:09:32.760
the wrong way. He's asking him, what good works do I have to do? What good things do I have to do

01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:37.640
to go to heaven? So Jesus is playing that game along with him to get him to open his mind up.

01:09:37.800 --> 01:09:42.800
to see his error. And Jesus says in Matthew 19 verse 17,

01:09:42.800 --> 01:09:45.520
and he said unto him, why causethou me good?

01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:47.720
There is none good but one, that is God.

01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:50.760
But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

01:09:50.760 --> 01:09:53.240
And that's true. If you want to go to heaven,

01:09:53.240 --> 01:09:56.280
follow all of God's commandments and never sin again

01:09:56.280 --> 01:09:58.320
and be completely perfect, completely righteous,

01:09:58.320 --> 01:10:00.920
completely holy, don't ever have any spot,

01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:03.920
wrinkle or blemish, and that's your ticket into heaven.

01:10:03.920 --> 01:10:05.760
And you know, why would you, if you had,

01:10:05.800 --> 01:10:07.140
if you've never sinned before,

01:10:07.140 --> 01:10:08.400
why would you go to hell?

01:10:08.400 --> 01:10:09.300
That wouldn't make any sense.

01:10:09.300 --> 01:10:10.400
The point of going to hell

01:10:10.400 --> 01:10:11.700
is if you sin.

01:10:11.700 --> 01:10:13.400
But if you have never sinned before,

01:10:13.400 --> 01:10:15.500
then you will go to heaven.

01:10:15.500 --> 01:10:17.200
Now raise your hand if you've never sinned before.

01:10:18.300 --> 01:10:22.760
Nobody? Okay. That's what I thought because everybody has committed a sin

01:10:22.760 --> 01:10:29.380
So that's why we cannot go to heaven by following the law and that's what Jesus was trying to get the young rich rulers

01:10:29.380 --> 01:10:34.760
to understand and he still didn't understand it. Jesus was like, hey, you know, don't lie, don't murder, don't cheat, don't steal

01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:36.760
He was like, yeah, I did all that. I never lied before

01:10:37.140 --> 01:10:43.200
Now, how do we handle people at the door that say they never lied before? The you know, the conversation pretty much ends right there. So

01:10:43.700 --> 01:10:47.700
That's what they're not understanding because they don't have the Spirit of God.

01:10:47.700 --> 01:10:50.700
Turn to Matthew chapter 5 verse 17.

01:10:51.600 --> 01:10:58.520
It's like, you know, look we understand that Paul he was writing the words of God. He was speaking the words of God and

01:10:59.040 --> 01:11:04.280
What it comes down to is either what Paul is saying is right or it is wrong

01:11:04.400 --> 01:11:10.460
So either you're hearing the voice of the shepherd and Paul or you're not hearing you're hearing the voice of a stranger

01:11:10.460 --> 01:11:16.600
You know, the Holy Spirit has to do something the Holy Spirit's ministry was to lead us into all truth

01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:19.440
so, you know if you're saying that Paul is literally a

01:11:19.600 --> 01:11:23.960
false prophet or an apostate, you know, your Holy Spirit is malfunctioning or you don't

01:11:23.960 --> 01:11:26.880
have the Holy Spirit.

01:11:26.880 --> 01:11:30.920
You should be in Matthew chapter 5 verse 17, Jesus said, think not that I am come to destroy

01:11:30.920 --> 01:11:35.760
the law or the prophets, I am not come to destroy but to fulfill.

01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:41.080
What that is just merely saying is Jesus Christ came to follow and obey all of God's commandments

01:11:41.080 --> 01:11:44.920
so that he could be a perfect sacrifice, a sinless perfect sacrifice.

01:11:44.920 --> 01:11:45.920
That's what fulfill means.

01:11:45.920 --> 01:11:46.920
It means to complete.

01:11:46.920 --> 01:11:47.600
.

01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:54.560
turn to John chapter 6. John chapter 6. And in Paul, it's a lie to say that Paul was saying not

01:11:54.560 --> 01:12:00.800
to follow the law in regards to the moral law because in Romans chapter 3 verse 31, Paul said,

01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:06.320
do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid, yea, we establish the law, meaning the

01:12:06.320 --> 01:12:11.760
moral law, not the Mosaic law, because that changed because that was fulfilled in Christ. Now, the

01:12:11.760 --> 01:12:15.520
The third thing they'll say is, oh, Paul taught salvation was by grace and faith.

01:12:15.600 --> 01:12:20.160
faith alone and Jesus taught it was by works and following the law and you have

01:12:20.160 --> 01:12:23.160
to be your righteousness had to exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees or

01:12:23.160 --> 01:12:26.960
that you were going to go to hell. Now Paul does say in Romans chapter 3 verse

01:12:26.960 --> 01:12:31.480
28 therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of

01:12:31.480 --> 01:12:35.520
the law but Jesus taught the same thing throughout his whole ministry should be

01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:41.320
in John chapter 6 verse 28 Jesus said then said they unto him what shall we do

01:12:41.320 --> 01:12:43.600
that we might work the works of God

01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:49.320
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God that ye believe on him whom

01:12:50.040 --> 01:12:54.060
Whom he hath sent turn to John chapter 13 verse 20 we're gonna close there

01:12:54.880 --> 01:12:59.680
So yeah, that is the work of God is you don't have to do any worse yourself to go to heaven

01:12:59.680 --> 01:13:03.520
But if you want to do the work of God you have to believe in Christ and that's it

01:13:03.520 --> 01:13:11.520
So Jesus did teach that so lastly John chapter 13 John chapter 13 verse 20 Jesus said verily verily I say to you

01:13:11.600 --> 01:13:17.140
He that receiveth whosoever I send receiveth me and he that receiveth me

01:13:18.220 --> 01:13:23.720
Receiveth him that sent me so if people are not receiving Paul that means they're not receiving Jesus

01:13:23.720 --> 01:13:27.380
that means they're not receiving the father that means they're receiving Satan and

01:13:28.200 --> 01:13:33.760
Unfortunately that person is going to go to hell because you said if you receive me you're going to receive the people that I send

01:13:33.880 --> 01:13:35.880
So let's close out in a word of prayer

01:13:37.160 --> 01:13:38.700
Dear Heavenly Father

01:13:39.400 --> 01:13:43.720
Thank you for this day and thank you for the great sermons that we heard today, Lord.

01:13:43.720 --> 01:13:50.120
And just thank you for a church that preaches edifying sermons to help the people in the church.

01:13:50.120 --> 01:13:53.880
And please just help us to get home safely and protect everybody in the church.

01:13:53.880 --> 01:13:55.080
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

01:13:57.300 --> 01:14:03.100
Before we sing the last song, I think I'm gonna start doing some feedback after men's preaching night

01:14:03.100 --> 01:14:08.860
because the whole goal is to train the next generation of preachers.

01:14:08.860 --> 01:14:13.500
But everyone of you did a good job, and then the Finding the Lobster Sermon is kind of interesting

01:14:13.500 --> 01:14:18.500
because it definitely started by me by reacting to his text on the lobster emoji.

01:14:18.500 --> 01:14:25.260
And I don't know why I did that, just maybe I meant to send a like, but then send the lobster.

01:14:25.300 --> 01:14:28.900
I did some research on what it meant and that's how it turned to that sermon.

01:14:28.900 --> 01:14:34.580
So, love the crab joke, just don't go to the evangelical church, bunch of crabs, right?

01:14:34.580 --> 01:14:40.300
But yeah, I mean the premise is really good because you can apply it physically, spiritually.

01:14:40.300 --> 01:14:43.460
If you only go swimming twice a year, that will be disobeying the Great Commission, right?

01:14:43.460 --> 01:14:46.180
So you can apply that in the physical aspect as well.

01:14:46.180 --> 01:14:50.580
So if you are tempted, just get married, that's God's way to avoid fornication.

01:14:51.100 --> 01:14:57.020
And the Hebrew sixth sermon, I will say that's a very good explanation on the rubber bait side.

01:14:57.660 --> 01:15:02.220
I know people disagree on that here and there. I happen to lean on the other side,

01:15:02.220 --> 01:15:08.060
but I'm fine with people holding different positions, and that's a really good explanation on that.

01:15:08.300 --> 01:15:11.780
But the whole premise is the following way cannot be losing your salvation.

01:15:11.780 --> 01:15:16.760
It doesn't matter whatever view you are holding, right?

01:15:16.760 --> 01:15:20.780
Because on the side of the repubates, it's talking about those people who are never saved

01:15:20.780 --> 01:15:21.780
to begin with.

01:15:21.780 --> 01:15:24.220
I mean, they never truly repented.

01:15:24.220 --> 01:15:31.340
And on the side of the worldly Christians, they can never lose their salvation, so get

01:15:31.340 --> 01:15:32.340
to work, right?

01:15:32.340 --> 01:15:35.140
So again, the principle is still the same.

01:15:35.140 --> 01:15:36.300
So again, that's a great.

01:15:36.300 --> 01:15:41.300
It's a very good presentation of the rubber bait side.

01:15:41.860 --> 01:15:43.940
You know, I will say I'm not.

01:15:44.200 --> 01:15:47.120
set on either position, yeah,

01:15:47.120 --> 01:15:49.960
but I do lean on the worldly Christian side,

01:15:49.960 --> 01:15:54.960
but I do see that side flow with the context as well.

01:15:55.360 --> 01:15:58.280
So I do think that's a tough passage to look at.

01:15:58.280 --> 01:16:01.240
Again, that's a very good presentation of that,

01:16:01.240 --> 01:16:03.280
because Hebrews 6, people throw at us

01:16:03.280 --> 01:16:06.640
on losing your salvation all the time and falling away.

01:16:07.200 --> 01:16:11.560
apostatizing, you know, they'll throw away these things and Christians stop believing,

01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:14.880
Christians deny eternal security, you know, but that's not what it's talking about.

01:16:14.880 --> 01:16:18.880
And it's for sure not talking about during the tribulation, people can lose their salvation,

01:16:18.880 --> 01:16:20.280
but they can get saved again.

01:16:20.280 --> 01:16:22.280
Okay, those are the hyper dipstick views.

01:16:22.280 --> 01:16:24.280
So again, great presentation.

01:16:24.280 --> 01:16:26.280
What?

01:16:26.280 --> 01:16:31.480
And then on the Paul being a false prophet, yeah, I mean, that's a great organization as well.

01:16:31.480 --> 01:16:35.080
And yeah, I mean, those black Hebrew Israelites, man.

01:16:35.200 --> 01:16:41.160
people are crazy. Yeah, I mean, just believe the Bible. Just believe the Bible. The Bible

01:16:41.160 --> 01:16:46.560
is so clear. I can see how the unsaid people can twist what Christ has said because Jesus

01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:54.200
Christ did make some of the parables and keeping the commandment, suggesting just to grasp

01:16:54.200 --> 01:16:59.240
their attention, just like how we will pull up the Ten Commandments, hey, have you violated

01:16:59.240 --> 01:17:03.200
this? Have you ever lied? So that's what Christ did. But the Bible...

01:17:03.200 --> 01:17:11.120
has no contradictions. So yeah, really, there's no correction. I mean, 15 minutes is kind

01:17:11.120 --> 01:17:16.760
of tough to put these sermons together. You know, find the lobster can definitely be a

01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:21.200
sermon. But you know, if you want to know how to find your lobster, you know, I have

01:17:21.200 --> 01:17:25.360
a dating on purpose sermon about dating and stuff like that. You know, definitely look

01:17:25.360 --> 01:17:30.800
at the correct pond. Okay, don't go to the crab pond or crawfish who only eat poop.

01:17:31.100 --> 01:17:33.340
Although I love to eat poop as well, right?

01:17:33.340 --> 01:17:36.380
But anyway, that's besides the point.

01:17:36.380 --> 01:17:37.060
Yeah, that's it.

01:17:37.060 --> 01:17:40.100
Let's sing one more song, and then we'll close the service.

01:17:43.200 --> 01:17:47.100
Alright, last song is gonna be song 45.

01:17:47.100 --> 01:17:49.100
When I can read my title clear.

01:17:49.100 --> 01:17:50.900
Song 45.

01:17:54.000 --> 01:17:55.300
45

01:17:55.600 --> 01:18:00.920
When I can read my title clear to

01:18:01.640 --> 01:18:03.880
mansions in the skies

01:18:05.160 --> 01:18:07.160
I'll bid farewell to

01:18:08.800 --> 01:18:13.560
Every fear and wipe my weeping eyes

01:18:14.200 --> 01:18:18.320
and wipe my weeping eyes

01:18:19.600 --> 01:18:22.800
And wipe my weeping eyes

01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:34.080
I'll bid farewell to every fear and wipe my weeping eyes.

01:18:34.080 --> 01:18:43.800
Should earth against my soul engage and fiery darts be hurled,

01:18:43.800 --> 01:18:51.560
Then I can smile at Satan's rage and face a frowning

01:18:51.600 --> 01:19:03.040
world, and face a frowning world, and face a frowning world.

01:19:03.040 --> 01:19:12.600
Then I can smile at Satan's rage, and face a frowning world.

01:19:12.600 --> 01:19:19.540
Let cares like a wild deluge come and storms of

01:19:19.600 --> 01:19:33.880
sorrow fall may I but safely reach my home my God my heaven my all my God my

01:19:33.880 --> 01:19:47.600
heaven my all my God my have my all may I but safely do each my home my

01:19:47.600 --> 01:19:52.000
my God, my heaven, my all.

01:19:52.000 --> 01:19:57.200
There shall I bathe my weary soul

01:19:57.200 --> 01:20:02.000
in seas of heavenly rest,

01:20:02.000 --> 01:20:06.200
and not a wave of trouble

01:20:06.200 --> 01:20:11.400
roll across my peaceful breast.

01:20:11.600 --> 01:20:16.600
Across my peaceful breast.

01:20:16.600 --> 01:20:21.600
Across my peaceful breast.

01:20:21.600 --> 01:20:26.600
And not a wave of trouble roll.

01:20:26.600 --> 01:20:31.600
Across my peaceful breast.

01:20:31.600 --> 01:20:34.600
Alright, good singing. Brother Landon, can you please close out with a word of prayer?

01:20:50.900 --> 01:20:52.500
Hey man, you are dismissed.
