  Speaker 1: of discovering grace in the Old Testament, because so this
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: very day, I still hear people say, oh, the God
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of the Old Testament is different than the God of
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the New Testament, because the God of the Old Testament
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: was a god of wrath and the God of the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: New Testament is the God of grace. You ever heard
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that before, Well, that's a myth, it's not true. Amen.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And I want to show you a couple of scriptures,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you know, like do like a quick overview. This is
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a morning devo, so I can't get too deep into it,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: but we're gonna discover grace. God's grace in the Old Testament.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: You don't mind, right, We're gonna get into that today.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: If I have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: please don't hesitate to day when on a live chat.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: That's what we're here for, amen. We're here to communicate,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: We're here to connect. Amen. And if you're not with
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: us on Sundays, I have what we call the Kingdom
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: call the Kingdom call, amen, and I'm gonna start opening
• 2:02

• 2:09
  Speaker 1: yet but during the week, and I tried. I tried
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: yesterday a man to do a call and the other
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: person didn't reply in time or show up in time.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But I'm available certain times during the week. A man's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: probably being towards the evening. But we could talk about
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that at another time. If you're not on my email list,

  Speaker 1: Let's pray first. After we pray, we'll share this out
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: for like sixty seconds. Amen. If you have any questions, calms, concerns,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: prayer requests or anything along those lines. I know I

• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Comment that means that we're not robots, Amen, that we're
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: really humans. When you comment, the algorithm knows that we're
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: really communicating. For that will help out a lot. So
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: let's go for it. Father, I thank you so much
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that you are a God of grace. Since the very beginning.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: You are a graceful God, a merciful God. You are
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a peaceful God. Regardless what people may think about you,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Lord God, we see all through the scriptures that you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: have showed grace and mercy throughout all of humanity, creating
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the creation and creating man and man. Even falling, you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: still show grace upon that man. You even show grace
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: upon the devil. Yes, that he got kicked out of heaven.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: He could have been annihilated, yes, but yet the grace
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of God allows him to live a limited life here
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: on this earth. And I know, Lord God, thank you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: so much that you have conquered the grave of sin
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and death. You have also conquered the enemy. We're not
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: fighting baling against a victorious enemy. We're fighting and baling
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: against a defeated foe. And I thank you, Lord God,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that you guard, guide and protect us from that fallen
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: foe every day. And I thank you, Lord God for
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: every single thing that you have shown us so far
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in your word. On these morning DeVos, I pray a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: hedge of protection over myself, my wife, our children, our
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: families on both sides, and all our grandchildren as well.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: And I pray the same prayer of a hedge of
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: protection over every single person that's watching and listening. Now,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Lord God, that you guard God and protect them. Fill
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: us all lo God continuously with your holy spirit, that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we may hear your voice and follow after you, and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: follow not after a stranger, but follow after our Father
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in heaven. Our Lord, I will savior by way of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. So I pray peace be still in Jesus
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Name over every single person in Jesus Name. Amen to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the amen. So let's go for it. Help me share
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: this out sixty seconds. When we come back, we'll get
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: right into discovering grace in the New Testament. As a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, let me tell you what scripture we're
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: gonna be honest, you could get that ready. Amen. Oh
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I don't see a live here goes Amen. It's the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: brend that God bless you I see you. Grace is
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a theme that runs throughout the entire Bible, including the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Old Testament. While the Old Testament is often associated with
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the law, grace is evident in many of its narratives
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and teachings. We had to be in two scriptures Genesis
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: chapter fifteen, verse six, and that actually repeats in Romans
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: chapter four, verse number three. Amen, let me go for it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Let me go for it. Help me share this out
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: sixty seconds and then we'll red back. God bless every
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: red back a whole bunch of sharing. Man. But thank
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you so much for all the groups. I see you
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: popping up on the top of my screen, Amen, and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you're allowing us to go through. Thank you so much
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: for sharing. Can you do me another solid, another favorite? Amen,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I'm old school solid. If you do me a favor,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and when you share it, also comment on that share. Amen.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It really helps the algorithm. It really helps me reach
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: more people, Amen with this message, and it also helps
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: more people reach you and your group. Amen. So we're
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: in this together. Amen. We're literally fishing from social media.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: We're fishing for men, Amen, Like the Bible says, because
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: we're commissioned to go and make disciples on baptizing people
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and naming a father's son a holy ghost, and we're
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: doing it by way of digital evangelism here on the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Morning Devo as well. So thank you so much. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: really matters when you share this out. Thank you, thank you,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: thank you. I'm real, lads, we're not getting supported and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes it gets lonely. So I don't take it for
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: granted that you allow this to go through on your
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: page as well. Let's go for it, Amen, discovering grace
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in the Old Testament and let's see what this is
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: all about. Thank you, Lord for showing me through the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: scriptures that you've been a guy of grace. Amen. In
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: an Old Covenant as well as in the New Genesis,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: chapter fifteen, verse number six. Genesis fifteen six says, than Abram,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: this is Abraham. Before this is Abraham, before he was Abraham.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: He his name was Abram, Amen. And Abram believed in,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: affirm He affirmed, trusted, in, relied on, remained, step fast
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to the Lord. First of all, we need to trust
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: God right and he counted credited it to him as righteousness,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: doing right in regard of God. To God and man, listen,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: this was a gift. Abram was given a gift because
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: he trusted the Lord God counted him or credited him
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: to him as righteousness, doing right in God to God
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and man, how many people don't want to be in
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: right standing with God. A lot of people say, well,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: there's no God, so I'm okay, you think that, and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I have to just respect that because you think that way.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: But how about that's not true. How about if there
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: is a God and God is so gracious and he's
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: so full of great over your life that you just
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: don't realize that you're under the wrath of God by
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: not receiving his message, his gospel, his word, his power,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: his authority, right his Savior, which is the Lord, which
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: is actually the completion of Yahweh is Jesus. So when
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Abram believed, it's an example of how we could believe
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and remain on his word, remain, stepfast on the promises
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: of God, don't give up. So this is amazing grace
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: all throughout their entire Bible. And one of the clearest
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: examples I could see in the Old Testament is the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: story of Abraham. And this is Abraham. Before it was Abraham,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: his name was Abram Aymen. He was made right with
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: God through faith, not through anything he did. But it
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: was through faith, not by works, not by anything else.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: By the law, for sure, he was made right. So
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: this demonstration of God's grace was at work even before
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the law was given. Very important to understand. Before the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: law was given, grace was given. And people don't want
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to hear that. But anyway, let's keep on going. I
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: don't want to start preaching about that. I hear that
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a lot Romans shot the four the New Testament says,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and this was a repeat for what does the scripture say?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: It says Abraham believed in and trusted because this is
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: now we know what happened with a for him. Now
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: in the Book of Romans, he believed and trusted and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: relied on God, and it was credited to his account
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: as righteousness, right living, right standing with God. That's because
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: of God's grace, Ladies and gentlemen. I know we're accused
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: as believers, as Christians, to be in some kind of religion,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: but this is relational. You can't see that. It's definitely
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: all about relationship. God allows us to see his grace,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: his mercy all throughout the scriptures. God allows us to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: believe because we are able to make a decisive decision
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: of who we're gonna believe in. He doesn't force us
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to believe him. Amen. There's nothing we could do. The
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: law can't save us, religion can't save us. We won't
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: see the grace of God other than through him a man.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: You might see glimpses of grace through his children, through us,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: through the believers. Ultimately, you're gonna have to see the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: grace of God through the Lord, through God himself. And
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: since he's a real God, he you pray, he responds,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: he listens. Amen, So be encouraged. You are on the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: right side of the tracks if you believe it. If
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you're feeling lowly, Amen. We need to stay connected. That's
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: why I always say, let's connect. Let's stay connected. Yeah,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it gets lonely. We're in this world, but we're not
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of this world. Believers, right. So all the flesh wants
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to do in your life and my life is have
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: its own way. But God wants to have Holy Spirit
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: alive and living and breathing Holy Spirit. We want to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: do it. His way is beneficially that way. So we
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: see the clearest example of grace and the Old Testament
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: through the life of Abraham, which later on is renamed Abraham,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: so highlighting that faith has always been the means. Faith
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: has always been the means by which people are justified
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: before God. We're justified through faith, We're saved through faith,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and we have faith in Jesus. It's not faith in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: faith like some people think. All your Christians, all you
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: have is faith. You just know facts in your faith.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: There is tremendous amount of facts in our faith as believers.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: It's called it transformed, change life, life. You can you
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: can't deny that someone who is filled with holy spirit
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: God represents God differently than people who are not filled
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: with holy spirit. Some people are literally in religion full
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: of laws and rules. We as believers are in a
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: relationship full of grace and mercy. There are commandments in
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: being a Christian, and Jesus narrated down to two, which
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: is actually one, but Narra did to two. He says,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: love your God with everything you have, mind, soul, body, everything,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And love your neighbor as you love yourself. Jesus our
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: laws said those two commandments. Right completes all the prophecies,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: all the prophets, and completes the law because he is
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the finality of the law. He completed the law. He
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: is the completion of y'ah wagh Jesus. There's another example.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I'll just skin through it and give you this example.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Rahab Rayhab, she was actually a prostitute who was saved
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: through faith when she received the Israelite spies. You gotta
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: read that if you want in Joshua chapter two, and
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: then it's repeated in James chapter two twenty five. So
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: regardless of her background, yes, she was a prostitute. People
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that you can't say that word. It's in the scriptures.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Let's be adults. I'm actually restarted my adult Bible study
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: so we could dive into these type of scriptures more deeper. Amen,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: So stay tuned for that. Again. You won't know about
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the Adult Bible study unless you're on my email list,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: on my chat list, Amen, on my texting list, and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you could do that. Go to Soul Winners with a
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Z the org scroll towards the middle. Click that banner
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't hurt, it's free, Amen, doesn't cost you a dying.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: So Rahab the prostitute was declared righteous, was declared righteous
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: because God could do that, and man, he could chant
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: change your destiny, change your life, change your identity. God
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: does that because of his grace, his love, is Grace's mercy.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: She was declared righteous because of her faith, showcasing God's
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: grace and reaching out to those who are outside the Covenant,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: outside the promise, outside the promise, and the community of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Israel at the time in the Old Covenant, because we're
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: talking about the Old Testament, which there was a focus
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: on the children of Israel, right, the Old Testament has crazy,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, mad revelation. You see, Old School
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: has a lot of revelation of God's grace and his
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: dealings with Israel. When you look at God in Israel
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: all throughout the Old Covenant, you'll be like man, God
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: gave Israel so many chances. That's called grace, now luck,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: it's actually a blessing. It's God extending his love, his grace,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: his mercy towards his people. Even though they repeated their unfaithfulness,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Even though they repeated failure, God continued to pursue him.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: God continued to chase after his children. God continued to
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: pursue them. He continued to offer them opportunities for repentance
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and restoration. The grace of God in Old Covenant. So
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: when next time somebody comes up to you and says, listen,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you guys are serving three guys. You have a God
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and an Old Covenant, right and so God of wrath.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Then you have another God, Jesus, and then you have
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: another God, holy Spirit. Believe in three guys, No, we don't.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: We believe in one God, one true, living, holy, righteous,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: loving God who shows up in three persons, the Father
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Yahweh Elohem Elon, the son Ya shiwahamashiek Amen, and juaq Elohem,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: which is Holy Spirit, all three and one. And people
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: are trying to figure that out. It's a god thing.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: We're not meant to figure that out. We're not meant
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: to figure out the triune God. And we could have
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: figured everything out about God, then we won't need a God,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: will actually be God. So anyway, I don't want to preach, man,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to contain myself. The Old Testament has a
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: lot to say about God's grace. Isaiah chapter thirty, verse eighteen.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: A man, I'm gonna just cite the scriptures Hoseiah chapter eleven,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: verses eight and nine. You'll see all these scriptures really
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: demonstrating God's grace on his people, to his people, through
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: his people. Amen. He shows race all out, all throughout
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the entire Bible. That's why it's so important for you
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to open up your word, open up the scriptures. Take
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: one of these and open it up and read it
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: for yourself, because the people who want you not to
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: believe in God are banking on the fact that you're
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: not investigating God yourself through his word, the word that
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: he literally inspired men to write to leave us the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: roadmap to success, the roadmap to life, how to live
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: this life out in victory. Amen. And people will take
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: this book and they put it on the shelf and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: never read it. I literally have been to businesses that
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: have the Bible open to a certain scripture like Psalm
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: ninety one for protection, and I said, oh, wow, cool,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you read the scriptures. No, we just leave that there
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: for good luck because we know we need God's protection.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: And that Bible will stay open to that page and
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: to that chapter for years. And the scary thing about
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: it is that no one reads it all that just
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: read that portion. They want the benefits and the grace
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and the protection of God, but they don't want to
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: sacrifice any time to get into personal relationship with the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: God of Heaven and Earth. And you don't want to
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: be that person. You want the fullness of life. You
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: want the fullness of God. Right, you want all the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: God promises, all that God promises, you want it. Why
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you want that? So it's like a persistent pursue,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: pursuit of grace. God's persistent grace points to God's character.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: His grace is pointing to his character. He's compassionate, merciful,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: he wants a relationship with his people. He wants a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: relationship with me and you. So when we pray, we're
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: actually talking to our father. Right, when we go and
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: demonstrate the will of God by laying hands on people
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: and watching the sick get cured and the sick get healed. Amen,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and the blind people see and the deaf people here. Amen,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: we're doing that demonstrating God's love, God's grace and mercy
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: upon the people in this world. He's pursuing us. He
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: wants to have a relationship with us. Amen. We are
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: his children. Amen. So, actually, when we're commission children to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: go and make disciples, baptizing people in the name all
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: nations and the name of the Father's Son and Holy Spirit.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: That's God demonstrating his grace through us. That should excites you. Man,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: we have the power of God living inside of us,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: knowing that we could do what God calls us to
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: do because He empowers us to do what he calls
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: us to do. He doesn't just say, Sam, go ahead
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: and go over there and do this, that and third
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: and then leave me. No, he says Sam, He says Joanne.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: He says, brother, sister, my child, go and make disciples.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: He'll empower you to do that. Share the Gospel and
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: empower you to do that. Share your testimony. He'll empower
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: you and encourage you to do that. Why because of
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: His grace, His mercy is love, which pursues us all
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: throughout our life. So ultimately, the Old Testament sets the
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: stage for the full revelation of grace, which is in
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. So this whole thing has been an inside
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: job a man. God is setting up the stage for
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. God is setting up the stage for savior.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: From Genesis chapter three all the way to Revelation last chapter,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: last verse. It was a setup. The fall of man
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and Genesis chapter three created a need for Savior. That
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Savior was prophesied all through the Old Covenant, a God
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: of grace, a God of mercy, a savior, a wonderful
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: counsel or, a prince of peace, a man, an almighty god.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Where he was going to be born, what tribe he
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: was going to be in? All of that was prophesied
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: way before Jesus stepped on the scene. And when he
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: stepped on the scene, over three hundred prophecies fulfilled right
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: then and there. I asked this question before, how many
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: prophecies do you need for you to know that this
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: word is authentic, that is true, is real? How many
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: prophecies one, two, three? Well you have over three hundred
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: when Jesus stepped on the scene. Are you kidding me? Like?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about prophecies that came out to a t
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: to the day, to everything, the place, the time, everything,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Like what other book could do that? Go ahead, I
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: challenge you, what other book could do that so accurately? Amen?
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Without ai. So the Law served as a tutor to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: lead people to Christ. The Law served as a tutor
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to lead people to Christ period. You see the author
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: of scriptures as well. And also it also shows us
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: a need for Savior. If you regalations chapter three, verse
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: twenty four, I'm just citing the scriptures. No time for
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. A dope Bible study coming soon, Amen,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: where we dive deep. Amen. There's guides and there's devotionals,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: there's Q and a's all of that coming soon. But
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: you won't know when it is unless you joined my
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: email list and or my chat lists as well my
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: texting lists. So when is what is it that org?
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Go down, scroll towards the middle, click that band that
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: says join my email list. It's totally free, Amen. And
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: we could talk about that behind the scenes. So through
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: all the profits, God spoke of the coming Messiah, who
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: would do what? Who will bring a new covenant of grace,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: a new covenant of grace. Jeremiah the Prophet thirty one
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: versus thirty one, thirty four, he spoke on that. Isaiah
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the Prophet chapter fifty three, he spoke on that. So
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: even though the Old Testament contains the Law, Amen, and
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: we knew the Law was a tutor, it's also displaying
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: God's grace through his interactions with individuals and the nation
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: of Israel. Amount of time here pointing forward to the
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: ultimate expression of grace, which is the Lord Jesus. Amen.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: That's just show you that God is the same yesterday, today,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: and forever more. Thank you so much for hanging out
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: with me. Amen. You can rewind the tape later on,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: remind this podcast or this live stream to get to
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: those other scriptures to confirm what we're trying to say today.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: So God bless you all. Got to keep you all
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and remember always that God is good. Peace,
