  Romans Chapter 9 Let us pray, oh heavenly Father.
• 0:11
  Lord, we are desirous to come into the holiest of holy places.
• 0:17
  God, I pray you'll search US, search our minds and search our
• 0:20
  hearts. God, we exalt your holy name
• 0:24
  above every single entity. God, in the entire universe.
• 0:29
  Father, you are high and lifted up above all things.
• 0:33
  God, you are the banner over our lives.
• 0:36
  Lord, you are the peace that we have.
• 0:39
  You are the provision that we have.
• 0:41
  You're the breath and our lungs. God Almighty, you're the
• 0:45
  provider of everything seen and unseen.
• 0:48
  God, you are our All in all, encapsulating everything that is
• 0:54
  good and Holy Father. And we pray that we will be holy
• 0:58
  God, because you are holy. And so Father, sanctify us
• 1:02
  today. Help us to consecrate this
• 1:04
  temple today. God, pray the name of Jesus for
• 1:08
  many to come into salvation today.
• 1:10
  There will be many whose eyes are open today for the first
• 1:15
  time, God, whose ears are unstopped today for the first
• 1:19
  time. Father, I pray that you'll
• 1:21
  Father us well. Help us to step into our bridal
• 1:25
  identity. Help us to know that we're yours
• 1:28
  and you're fighting our battles, God, and that Lord, we only need
• 1:32
  you and you alone. God, we don't rely on self.
• 1:35
  We don't rely on anything other than your provision for us for
• 1:41
  today, the daily bread. Today, God Almighty, we pray
• 1:45
  that your will will be done here on this earth.
• 1:48
  Let us step into it. Let us get rid of any
• 1:51
  maliciousness, God, any deceit. Father, I pray against gossiping
• 1:57
  and backbiting. God, I pray against pride and
• 2:00
  vanity. Father, I pray, Lord, that we
• 2:03
  will be holy because you're holy.
• 2:05
  I pray that we'll be cleansed and purified, Father.
• 2:09
  I pray for an indwelling of the Holy Spirit to the fullness
• 2:13
  overflowing into the communities, Father, into our
• 2:16
  neighborhoods. Father, I pray that we'll be
• 2:19
  marked by your goodness and grace and mercy and love and
• 2:23
  joy. Father, I pray that it'll be you
• 2:26
  and you alone that we're here. For as we open up Your word
• 2:29
  today, let Your Word jump into our hearts and minds and let it
• 2:33
  become part of our DNA. Let it become part of our
• 2:37
  thought process is our psyche. Father, I pray that everything
• 2:41
  we see and hear today gets measured by the word of God.
• 2:45
  By your word, Father, spoken to us, Lord, that is alive and
• 2:49
  active. And so Lord, I pray for a
• 2:52
  greater measure of understanding today.
• 2:55
  Give a sound doctrine and sound theology.
• 2:58
  Holy Spirit, you guide us and teach us.
• 3:00
  Hide me and hide my words and hide my thoughts.
• 3:04
  Father, I just pray right now that you, Father, will have the
• 3:09
  last word that you will say whatever it is that you want to
• 3:13
  say to this generation. Lord, I get out of the way.
• 3:21
  I decrease as you increase. Holy Spirit, teach us, convict
• 3:26
  us, take us to new heights with ABBA.
• 3:30
  We love you, King Jesus, heal our bodies and heal marriages
• 3:35
  and heal families Today, God, help us to take our eyes off of
• 3:41
  sin and self and help us to lock eyes with you, King Jesus, sea
• 3:47
  of glass, mingle with fire. Father, we only want you and
• 3:52
  it's in Jesus Christ, holy and precious name that I pray, Amen.
• 3:59
  Let's start in verse one. I say the truth in Christ, I
• 4:06
  lie, not my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy
• 4:12
  Ghost. So you can see here that Paul is
• 4:16
  really wanting us to lock in. He's leading this chapter off in
• 4:22
  a very powerful way. He's saying listen, listen up,
• 4:29
  pay attention. What I'm about to say has a
• 4:34
  great weight to it. Let's see what Paul is wanting
• 4:39
  us to know. Verse 2 that I have great
• 4:43
  heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
• 4:48
  What is this heaviness and what is this sorrow that Paul is
• 4:53
  feeling? Verse 3 For I could wish that
• 5:01
  myself were accursed from Christ, for my brothers, my
• 5:06
  kinsmen, according to the flesh. So here He has painted this
• 5:15
  crescendo as we started off the chapter with Him making sure we
• 5:21
  were locked in, making sure that we knew that it was of great
• 5:26
  importance for us to understand what He was about to say.
• 5:30
  And then He told us there's heaviness in His heart and it is
• 5:33
  all for Israel. What an amazing lead off here in
• 5:40
  this 9th chapter. We're going to see for the next
• 5:43
  few chapters how God feels about Israel, the ethnic Jews, the
• 5:50
  physical, literal, geographical place on planet earth of Israel
• 5:55
  and Jerusalem. And it is such a hotly contested
• 6:01
  land there, and Christians, Jews and Muslims alike all consider
• 6:06
  it to be holy ground in there. There is no surprise there,
• 6:11
  friends. It is the navel of the entire
• 6:15
  globe. It is where life springs from,
• 6:20
  and that is what we're going to see here in this 9th chapter,
• 6:25
  the 10th chapter, and the 11th chapter.
• 6:28
  What you're going to find is that God has not turned His back
• 6:32
  on the Jews. And so much so that Paul says
• 6:36
  that he would be willing to go to hell and be damned for all of
• 6:41
  eternity, if it meant that Israel would come into the
• 6:46
  saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 6:54
  Verse 4. Who are Israelites to whom
• 6:59
  pertains the adoption and the glory and the covenants and the
• 7:03
  giving of the law, and the service of God and the promises?
• 7:09
  So you can see here this privilege of Israel, his God's
• 7:12
  chosen people, and he has a peculiar race unto himself.
• 7:17
  And you can see why they are held in such high regard.
• 7:22
  Paul gives us their pedigree. Abraham was chosen out of a
• 7:29
  Gentile nation to become the father of faith, to birth Isaac,
• 7:35
  to birth Jacob, also known as Israel, to birth the 12 tribes.
• 7:41
  And then out of the Lion of Judah, we see the Messiah arrive
• 7:47
  on the scene. And it is no wonder so many
• 7:50
  satanic attacks. It is no wonder we have seen so
• 7:56
  many attacks on the Jewish nation.
• 8:00
  And you can see that this persecution does not amount to
• 8:06
  anything because they're still around.
• 8:10
  The ethnic Jews are still in existence.
• 8:14
  They're not a land that has been dissolved into some other people
• 8:20
  group like many of the other nations that are named in the
• 8:24
  Old Testament. They're no longer around.
• 8:27
  Friends. Israel is still mainstream
• 8:32
  politics, mainstream news, friends, and that is the
• 8:37
  peculiarity of this chosen people group.
• 8:42
  And Paul is going to expound upon it, friends.
• 8:45
  He gives us this pedigree. God adopted them.
• 8:52
  God gave him his glory. God gave them covenants.
• 8:57
  God gave them the law, God gave them the service of Himself, God
• 9:02
  gave them promises. 5 Who are the fathers, and of whom?
• 9:07
  As concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, God
• 9:13
  blessed forever. Amen.
• 9:15
  So he's saying that our Messiah came through the Jews, came
• 9:21
  through the Jewish nation, came through the Israelites, and we
• 9:26
  are eternally blessed forever and ever, Amen by the Jews, and
• 9:33
  because of the lineage to Christ, friends, and that is why
• 9:38
  we hold them in such high regard. 6 Not as though the word
• 9:48
  of God has taken no effect, for they are not all Israel which
• 9:53
  are of Israel. That is the same as saying not
• 9:58
  every person who calls themselves a Christian is a
• 10:01
  Christian. And that is what you need to
• 10:06
  know is that the Israelites did not understand that Jesus Christ
• 10:18
  had come and was their Messiah, is their Messiah.
• 10:23
  But we're going to see that they will one day.
• 10:26
  There are many of the Israelites who died without the saving
• 10:32
  knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ who will be eternally
• 10:35
  separated from God Almighty. And that is what is referenced
• 10:39
  here. It's not just because they are
• 10:42
  an Israelite and a Jew that they automatically get to go to
• 10:45
  heaven, get to go into paradise. No, and that is what Paul wants
• 10:51
  us to know. It is not just because of the
• 10:54
  lineage of the Messiah that they automatically get to go to
• 11:00
  heaven. And that is what is referenced
• 11:03
  here, friends. Seven.
• 11:08
  Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham are they all
• 11:12
  children. But in Isaac shall your seed be
• 11:16
  called. So we know that Ishmael was on
• 11:20
  the scene even though Isaac was the chosen.
• 11:25
  And so Paul is going to show us and paint a masterpiece of
• 11:30
  showing God's election and showing that God chooses for His
• 11:36
  purposes. And what you need to know here
• 11:41
  is that God has a purpose for the Jews and they will come to
• 11:51
  the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and they need not
• 11:55
  wait on another Messiah. He has already come, friends,
• 12:01
  and we are blessed forever and ever because we have that saving
• 12:07
  knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 12:09
  We have a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ.
• 12:14
  We are indwelled with the Holy Spirit and that is available to
• 12:19
  the Jews if they will admit that they murdered their Messiah and
• 12:24
  that Jesus is Lord. Hey, that is they which are the
• 12:33
  children of the flesh. These are not the children of
• 12:37
  God, but the children of the promise are counted for the
• 12:42
  seed. So we are the wild branches
• 12:44
  grafted in friends, to the natural.
• 12:47
  And here Paul is going to show us that just because you belong
• 12:53
  to Abraham does not mean that you're going to make it there.
• 12:59
  9/4 This is the word of promise at this time will I come?
• 13:04
  And Sarah shall have a son. But she already had a son named
• 13:08
  Ishmael. And Paul wants us to see here
• 13:12
  that it was not Ishmael who was chosen.
• 13:18
  It was Isaac who was not yet even born.
• 13:21
  And by faith they had to take God at his word, that this
• 13:26
  barren woman who was stricken with age could even have a
• 13:32
  child, much less Abraham, becoming the father of many
• 13:38
  descendants more numerous than the stars. 10 And not only this,
• 13:45
  but when Rebecca also had conceived by 1 even by our
• 13:51
  father Isaac. 11 For the children being not yet born,
• 13:56
  neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God
• 14:03
  according to election might stand, not of works, but of him
• 14:07
  that calls. So here you can see that the
• 14:09
  children had done nothing good or bad.
• 14:13
  Esau was not rejected because of anything he had done, but Jacob
• 14:20
  was chosen for the purposes of God and that is what you need to
• 14:26
  know. And what happens a lot of times
• 14:28
  is just like Cain and Abel, whenever God says, look, sin is
• 14:34
  crouching at your door, you must master it.
• 14:38
  And then he tells them, if you do what's right, you'll be
• 14:41
  accepted. What you need to know is that
• 14:44
  when people find out that they're not chosen and they
• 14:50
  rebel in that reality, it just proves the point, Friends.
• 14:57
  God already knew that they would do that, friends, and that is
• 15:01
  why they were not chosen. God can see everything.
• 15:05
  He sees the full scope from start to finish, Friends, and it
• 15:10
  is not God who sends anybody into damnation.
• 15:13
  It is not God who sends anybody into hell.
• 15:17
  It is our rebellion, and it is our choice, friends, and it is
• 15:21
  out of envy that we murder. 12 It was said unto her.
• 15:32
  Unto her the elder shall serve the younger. 13 as it is
• 15:38
  written. Jacob have I loved, but Esau
• 15:41
  have I hated. Jacob have I chosen, but Esau I
• 15:46
  have rejected. And that is what you need to
• 15:50
  know. Friends, God gives us free will,
• 15:54
  but He already knows what we're going to do.
• 15:58
  And it is because of this election, friends, it is because
• 16:04
  of the promises of God, it is because of the purposes of God
• 16:10
  that He chose us. And we do not marvel that the
• 16:15
  demons are subject to us. We marvel that our names are
• 16:20
  written in the Lamb's book of life.
• 16:21
  When you finally come to the saving knowledge of the Lord
• 16:25
  Jesus Christ, you are astounded that He dwells inside of you and
• 16:31
  that you can know Him and be known by Him.
• 16:36
  It is a divine mystery and only God can reveal that to us.
• 16:41
  Fourteen. What shall we say then?
• 16:44
  Is there unrighteousness with God?
• 16:49
  God forbid. There's another God forbid
• 16:53
  moment as Paul is painting this masterpiece.
• 16:58
  There is no unrighteousness with God.
• 17:01
  God gives us free will. We can choose to serve him, but
• 17:05
  when we choose not to serve Him, and when we choose to send
• 17:09
  ourselves to hell, he already knew we were going to do it. 15
• 17:16
  For he said to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have
• 17:21
  mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have
• 17:25
  compassion. God is in heaven and does
• 17:27
  whatever he pleases, friends. 16 So then it is not of him that
• 17:34
  wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.
• 17:40
  And aren't you eternally grateful that God was merciful
• 17:44
  to you? Believer, isn't it amazing that
• 17:49
  you and I, we can know that we know that we know that.
• 17:53
  We know that our names are written in the Lamb's book of
• 17:57
  life. That is merciful.
• 17:59
  It is not of anything that we have ever done.
• 18:03
  Friends, God, if He was to judge us, we are deserving of hell.
• 18:12
  It is only by mercy, God's mercy, unlimited mercy, that we
• 18:19
  can come in to the throne room of grace, Friends. 17 For the
• 18:27
  Scripture said unto Pharaoh, even for this same purpose have
• 18:34
  I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that
• 18:39
  my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
• 18:43
  So we can see here that God hardened Pharaoh's heart.
• 18:50
  So when you start to think about that, you would say, well, that
• 18:54
  means that Pharaoh is exempt and he should not be held
• 18:59
  accountable if God is the one who hardened his heart.
• 19:06
  But it does not work that way. It is very similar to the
• 19:09
  thought process that Judas could stand before God and say, look
• 19:13
  at all the good that came out of my betrayal, shouldn't that
• 19:19
  exempt me from having to go to hell for all of eternity?
• 19:24
  And it does not work that way. We have free will, friends.
• 19:30
  We choose to harden our hearts, we choose to betray our Lord.
• 19:36
  But God uses it without excusing it, friends. 18 Therefore has he
• 19:47
  mercy on whom he will have mercy, and on whom he will he
• 19:52
  hardens? 19 You will say then unto me,
• 19:59
  Why does he yet find fault, for who has resisted his will?
• 20:05
  And that is exactly what I just said.
• 20:08
  Friends, we cannot find fault in God.
• 20:12
  And we cannot say that there's unrighteousness in God, and we
• 20:15
  cannot say that the sinful man is excused because he performed
• 20:21
  the will of God, just like the Babylonians or the Assyrians
• 20:26
  when God was using them as instruments.
• 20:29
  It doesn't work that way. They must have to give an
• 20:32
  account. And our account reads like this.
• 20:35
  The blood of Jesus Christ, the righteousness of Christ, the
• 20:41
  innocence of Christ imputed on to us, friends, this divine
• 20:48
  exchange of all of our sins on him, but all of his
• 20:54
  righteousness upon us. That is how it reads.
• 21:00
  But for those who are trying to work their way into heaven or to
• 21:04
  give an excuse of why they should get into heaven, because
• 21:07
  they're good people. They were moral people, people.
• 21:10
  They gave all their riches away. They were humanitarians.
• 21:14
  They fed the poor that cast out demons in his name.
• 21:18
  They perform miracles in his name.
• 21:22
  There is no salvation in works, friends.
• 21:27
  It is only by the grace of God that we will enter in by the
• 21:31
  blood of the Lamb. We cannot say that God has
• 21:38
  fault, and we cannot say that because His will was done
• 21:43
  through evil man, that evil man will make it there.
• 21:47
  It is only by the blood of Jesus Christ that we will make it
• 21:50
  there. 20 Nay, but, O man, who are you that replies against
• 22:00
  God? Shall the thing form say to him
• 22:03
  that formed it? Why have you made me?
• 22:06
  Thus? This is where Job had to get to
• 22:10
  whenever he was trying to call God into the courtroom and to
• 22:19
  show God how good he had been and how upright he had been and
• 22:27
  how there was no sin that had caused all of this turmoil in
• 22:31
  his life. And then God shows up and he
• 22:35
  says, where were you whenever I stretched the line?
• 22:39
  Where were you when I formed the ocean?
• 22:43
  What did Job, what was Job's response?
• 22:46
  He put his hand over his mouth. He had said too much.
• 22:50
  We cannot call God into the courtroom, friends.
• 22:55
  All we can do is praise God that He is good.
• 22:58
  All we can do is praise God that He sent His Son.
• 23:02
  All we can do is praise God that He made away friends when there
• 23:05
  was no way. 21 Has not the Potter power over the clay of
• 23:15
  the same lump, to make one vessel unto honor and another
• 23:20
  unto dishonor? It's what you need to know here,
• 23:23
  friends. Free will.
• 23:26
  But he already knows what we're going to do.
• 23:29
  Just keep driving it home recitation.
• 23:33
  We keep driving it home, friends.
• 23:38
  That is how we approach election and free will friends is that
• 23:46
  they are two points of the same matter.
• 23:51
  There is this cooperative tension between them, and
• 23:56
  because we have the mind the size of a soda can, we can
• 24:00
  barely, scarcely try to skim the surface of what it all means in
• 24:06
  the mind of God whenever he already knows what we're going
• 24:10
  to do. He's the alpha and the Omega.
• 24:13
  He lives outside of time, friends.
• 24:15
  He's not bound by time. Like you and like me 22 What if,
• 24:26
  God willing to show his wrath and to make his power known,
• 24:31
  endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to
• 24:37
  destruction? Wow, he just went hard.
• 24:41
  He just went deep. Friends, lock in, pay attention,
• 24:45
  don't gloss over. Wake up.
• 24:47
  Oh, Sleeper, listen to what was just said.
• 24:54
  Listen up. God, in his long-suffering, he
• 25:01
  created the world. He put the serpent in the
• 25:05
  garden. He put the tree, a forbidden
• 25:08
  fruit in the garden. He gave us free will because
• 25:13
  he's so long-suffering. He knew that he would get the
• 25:17
  most amount of glory through allowing this free will.
• 25:22
  He would get the most amount of glory not making us like robots,
• 25:28
  not making us like the angels, not making us where we have to
• 25:33
  love Him and to serve Him. But when we choose Him in our
• 25:37
  free will and we don't have to choose Him, we choose Him
• 25:43
  because we love Him. That is what brings God the most
• 25:47
  amount of glory and he is long-suffering with all the evil
• 25:51
  in the world. Go back and check Genesis when
• 25:54
  it says that he grieve. It grieved God that he had made
• 25:58
  mankind because every thought continuously was evil.
• 26:02
  Then come up to the New Testament where it says the last
• 26:06
  days will be like the days of Noah.
• 26:09
  Friends. And then he asks, will he even
• 26:13
  find faith on the earth when he returns?
• 26:17
  And then he says that in the last days, because of the
• 26:22
  increase of evil, the love of most will grow cold.
• 26:26
  How long-suffering is God that He puts up with us when we rebel
• 26:33
  against Him, when we murder his children, friends, whenever we
• 26:36
  cause all kinds of disease and destruction and we create new
• 26:42
  ways of sinning? And God is so long-suffering
• 26:46
  with us, friends, because it brings Him the most amount of
• 26:53
  glory when we choose Him, and that is what he's after.
• 26:57
  And one man completely sold out to the Lord Jesus Christ is what
• 27:02
  this world desperately needs to see.
• 27:06
  Somebody who's not playing both sides, not the hypocrite, not
• 27:11
  being duplicious friends, but somebody who is truly loving on
• 27:17
  God and serving God with a whole heart is what this world needs
• 27:23
  to see. I pray that we can be that 23
• 27:36
  and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the
• 27:41
  vessels of mercy, which he had a four prepared unto glory.
• 27:48
  He already knows who's going to be there.
• 27:50
  Aren't all angels ministering spirits sent to protect those
• 27:55
  who will inherit eternal life? 24 Even us whom he has called
• 28:02
  not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.
• 28:06
  That's the wild and the natural together. 25 As he says also I
• 28:19
  will call them my people, which were not my people, and her
• 28:25
  beloved, which was not my beloved.
• 28:30
  So you can see here that the prophets foretold the blinding
• 28:34
  of Israel and mercy to the Gentiles.
• 28:37
  Friends, that is what you need to know, that their disobedience
• 28:43
  led to our salvation. But it is going to be the
• 28:47
  jealousy of the Jews seeing the Gentiles coming into eternal
• 28:53
  life that caused them to come back and admit that they
• 28:57
  murdered their Messiah and that Jesus is Lord. 26 And it shall
• 29:06
  come to pass that in the place where it was said unto them, You
• 29:12
  are not my people, there shall they be called the children of
• 29:17
  the living God. So there in Hosea, when he was
• 29:21
  having his children from the prostitute wife Gomer.
• 29:29
  You can see here this low army, you can see here that God had an
• 29:35
  eternal plan to bring them back where he had once said you're
• 29:39
  not my people. He will turn and say you are my
• 29:43
  people. And that is what we need to
• 29:45
  know, that in the seven-year tribulation, the Jews will come
• 29:50
  to the saving knowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord.
• 29:54
  And they're starting that now. You can see it happening right
• 29:58
  now with the rise of technology and the ability to get the New
• 30:02
  Testament into that land. There are many Messianic Jews.
• 30:09
  27 Isaiah also cried concerning Israel.
• 30:15
  Though the number of the children of Israel be as the
• 30:17
  sand of the sea, A remnant shall be saved. 28 For he will finish
• 30:23
  the work and cut it short in righteousness, because a short
• 30:29
  work will the Lord make upon the earth.
• 30:33
  So you can see here that God always saves A remnant, and in
• 30:37
  that nation Israel, in the ethnic Jews.
• 30:40
  What you need to know is that by and large they do not see Jesus
• 30:45
  Christ as the Messiah. But God saves A remnant, and
• 30:50
  there will be His chosen people with us in all of eternity.
• 30:55
  The church has not swallowed up Israel as some are in the habit
• 31:00
  of believing. 29 And as Isaiah said before, except the Lord of
• 31:08
  Shabbat had left us a seed, We had been as Sodom and been made
• 31:15
  like Gomorrah. And the Jews are still around.
• 31:18
  They cannot be exterminated, friends.
• 31:24
  There's no Holocaust that could ever result in the annihilation
• 31:28
  of them. God is going to bring them all
• 31:31
  the way to the end. Do not forget it. 30 What shall
• 31:38
  we say then, that the Gentiles which followed not after
• 31:42
  righteousness have attained to righteousness, even the
• 31:46
  righteousness which is of faith? 31 But Israel, which followed
• 31:54
  after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of
• 31:59
  righteousness. 32 Wherefore, because they sought it not by
• 32:05
  faith, but, as it were, by the works of the law, for they
• 32:09
  stumbled at the stumbling stone. So we know that Jesus Christ is
• 32:18
  the stone that is cut out, but not by human hands.
• 32:23
  And all who will fall on Him will be crushed, will fall to
• 32:31
  pieces, but whom he falls upon will be pulverized into dust.
• 32:38
  All the wicked rulers will be put to dismay.
• 32:43
  God is in heaven, and he laughs at those who try to throw off
• 32:48
  the chains, who try to rail against him.
• 32:52
  But we need to fall on the Lord Jesus Christ and let him put us
• 32:57
  back together. Let him make us new friends. 33
• 33:04
  As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and
• 33:10
  rock of offense, and whosoever believes on him shall not be
• 33:15
  ashamed. Blessed are they that are not
• 33:19
  offended by Jesus Christ and all of His ways.
• 33:24
  Friends, He is the chief cornerstone, and there are many
• 33:30
  who have stumbled over that stone because they refused to
• 33:36
  come in the way that He has orchestrated.
• 33:41
  They want to work their way into heaven.
• 33:43
  They want to measure their salvation, and it does not work
• 33:48
  that way. It is Jesus Christ alone.
• 33:53
  Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, and no one
• 33:58
  comes unto the Father except through me.
• 34:00
  He is not one of many ways, friends.
• 34:03
  He is the only way and he is alive.
• 34:06
  Today we serve a risen Savior. Praise God, Hallelujah.
• 34:12
  I hope that you've been blessed by this amazing chapter.
• 34:15
  I hope you've been educated by this amazing chapter of God's
• 34:19
  love for his chosen people, His love for you, for me.
• 34:24
  I'm praying for you. I love you.
• 34:33
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 34:36
  God bless you.
