  Speaker 1: the wrath of God, that is a man, the Bible says,

  Speaker 1: already revealed from Heaven, against all who deliberately suppress His truth,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a man in their unrighteousness. And we only have all
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: of us, We only have a limited time a man
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to respond to the knocking of the Lord Jesus Christ
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: at the door of our hearts. The day you hear
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: his voice, do not harden your heart. Amen. He stands,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: he calls, his arms are outstretched. Amen. And he's a
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: man willing, a man to forgive. Amen. All manner of sin,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, will be forgiven men, except for blasphemy against
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. You can be forgiven, You can be saved.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You can be set free. You can be delivered a man,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: but it is only by him, Jesus the Christ, a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: man who is the savior of all them that believe. Amen.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: For those of you who have been following along with us,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we are in the first letter of the Apostle Paul
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to the Corinthian Church, and today we're going to be
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in the first few verses of chapter number fourteen. Amen.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So if you have your bibles, go along with us
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: in just a few minutes, as we will. A man
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: go to the text Amen of the scriptures. But today
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: we want to emphasize this a man very very important,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a man prerogative, Amen, very important for the church. A
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: man hold fast, hold fast to the faith, to the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: gospel by which we are saved. Amen. And before we begin,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: let's just take a moment to a man, invoke the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: presence of the Lord again and give him thanks and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: glory and honor for all that he is, that he
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: has done a man, and that he has promised to do. Father. Again,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: we glorify your name, that is above every name, every kneed,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: bi OUs, every time confesses Lord. We're simply praying today
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that somewhere someone will be encouraged, someone will be strengthened,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: some heart will be changed or God. Eyes will be open,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: ears will be attuned to what the Spirit is saying
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to the church. Let your word, Lord, you promise, you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: promise your words, or not return them to your void.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Let your word be effectual today somewhere in Jesus' name,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we pray, Amen, and Amen, hold fast, Hold fast. There's
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: one thing, and one thing alone that separates the true believers.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: A man from the professors who the Bible speaks of,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: will depart from the faith. They will give heed to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: seducing spirits. They will give heed to doctrines of devils.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: They will turn to fables, they will turn from the truth. Amen.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And this is the one thing that separates truth from error,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the truth from the apostate Church. That one thing, ladies
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Gospel
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, and the Bible, the Word of God.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: The New Testament in particular, is filled with so many
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: emphatic admonitions of the apostles. Amen. Amen. In their apostolic
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: writings to the church. Amen, the Bible says, by the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: way we are built upon the foundation of the apostles
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and prophets of Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Amen.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And they wrote, under the unction of the Holy Spirit
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a man, and we are to abide in the apostles doctrine.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And they again emphatically admonished the church a man to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: faithfully adhere to the preached word, the truth of God,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the words of our Lord
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a man. They were eye witnesses of his majesty, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: they were martyrs. Amen. For the calls of Christ and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: all of these apostles. They were mindful of all that
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Jesus taught them, and they were faithful to leave. Amen
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to the Church of Jesus Christ the message, Amen, the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: message of his death, his burial, his resurrection from the grave, Amen,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: as the most sacred pillar, a man of our salvation,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of our hope. Amen. In this world of delusion and confusion, Amen,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in the world of apostasy, in the world of Amen
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: again deception. That is a man perhaps at the pinnacle
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that has ever been in all of the history of mankind.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And we need look no further than the state, the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: present state of many churches, so called Amen. Today, who
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: exists for anything and for everything other than a man
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the gospel of Jesus Christ a man. When it comes
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to preaching the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, we understand,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: we understand, we know a man that, as the apostle
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Paul wrote to the Church at Rome, the saints at Rome,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a man. It is the power of God and to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: salvation to everyone that believes. Neither is there salvation. Peter
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: made it very plain, as Jesus had made it plain
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to them. I am the Way, the Truth, and the life.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Neither is there salvation in any other, none of the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: name given them, my men, whereby we must be saved.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: It is by and through Jesus to Christ, a man,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that we must be saved. A man. And these again
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: who profess to know him, the Bible says Paul wrote
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: about this in works, they deny him, being abominable, being disobedient,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a man again far removed from the way that has
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: been provided for lost man, a man to be saved,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to be redeemed from this bondage, from the rapages of
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: power of sin, the power of Satan, from the power
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of darkness. And Paul the Apostle, by the way again,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I told you a man. The apostles I mean they
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: wrote faithfully to the churches, a man concerning this, a
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: man very very important, a fundamental pillar of the faith.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He marveled, Paul did at the Galatians. He said, I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: marvel that you are so soon removed from him who
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: called you into the grace, who called you into this salvation,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: who gave you this hope, who gave you a man
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: this salvation, who made you a part of the kingdom.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I marvel. Amen. He had to remind them of the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: basis of their salvation, the very basis of their faith. Amen,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the experience that they had a man been uh baptized
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: into by the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and and and listen. There is no church, uh that
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: can exist apart from Amen, the sacrifice, this sacrifice of
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, his shed blood at Calvary. You and I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: there no one is, no one can be a man
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of church. We don't. We don't become a church because
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: we come together in a building with a with a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: steeple with a cross, singing songs, singing songs about what,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: singing songs about who? I mean, what what is the basis,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: what is the root? What is the foundation of our salvation?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: If we don't have the Gospel, if we don't understand
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that Jesus died for our sins, for us to be redeemed,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: for us to be delivered. Amen. And again Church at
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the church has to understand that this is fundamental, that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: this is Amen, This is prerequisite, Amen, foundational for us
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to even exist as a church. Amen. And we have
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to be reminded of this. Sadly, we have to be
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: reminded of this because again there's so much deception, so
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: much delusion in the land today. Amen. And again, we
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: cannot exist. We do not exist apart from official shed
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: blood of Jesus Christ's Amen. Again. Without the shedding the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: blood what the Bible says, there is no remission of sins.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: We're just sinners, not saints. Amen. We're not the body
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: of Christ without our sins being forgiven. And if our
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: sins are not forgiven based on Amen, the blood of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, because the blood of bulls and goats, animals,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: nothing else, not even our own blood. False that I
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: can't even get my own body Amen as an atonement
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: for my Amen sins Amen. Without that. If we don't
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: preach that, if we don't believe that, it won't teach that.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: If we don't hold on to that, we're not a church. Amen.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: His body is why, and his body is how we
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: became a body, the body of Christ. That's the body
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that we are. This is what did Paul, This is
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: what the apostle Paul reminded this church of Amen. He
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: had to emphasize them over, Amen, because they were on
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a fast track to being derailed a man by all
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of the division that they had in the church. Remember,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: early on in this first letter he wrote to them
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: about me, and some of them claiming to be of Paul,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: some of them claiming to be of Apollos of Sephus.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: He said, no, no, no, you weren't, He said, I didn't.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Matter of fact, ast I baptized very few people. You
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: weren't baptizing the name of Paul. Amen. It is in Jesus,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: by Jesus, and because of Jesus that we are the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Church of Jesus Christ. Amen. None other name, remember, no
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: other way, Amen, by which by whom we can be saved. Amen.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So this particular church, Corinthian Church, we're in this letter
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: four teenth chapter today. Amen. The first letter U, they
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: were being derailed. They were on a fast track of
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: being derailed again by the division that they had in
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the church, the factions that they had in the church,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the schism that was in the body. Amen. And and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: but but even more so, And we're gonna always have
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: these problems. We're gonna have disagreements, We're gonna have the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: attack of the enemy especially Amen to Again, we've talked
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: about this in the last few sessions. To bring about
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: this harmony and disunity and dysfunction in the church, We're
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: gonna have that. That's gonna happen. We're gonna have a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: man doctrinal disagreements. Amen. Amen. And we should honestly contend
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: for the truth, for the faith. Amen, God against error,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: God against heresy. Amen. That's going to happen in the church.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: But we cannot, absolutely cannot depart from the fundamental foundation
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: of truth of why the church even exists in the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: first place, and it is because of the death and
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the burial and the resurrection of Jesus the Christ. Our
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: standing is in this gospel, Our salvation is in this gospel,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and we must hold to it. Amen. This gospel, and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: that again is what truly separates the church. I'm talking
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: about the true Church of Jesus Christ from religion. It's
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: what separates the Church of Jesus Christ from a man
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: or doctrines of devils, and anyone anyone. I don't care
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: who they are, anyone who preaches any other gospel. Paul said,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: even if an angel come from heaven, if he preaches
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: any other gospel and that which you have received, let
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: him let them And I don't care who they are,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: let them be accursed. Amen. There is no other gospel.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: There is no other way of salvation. There is no
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: other forgiveness of our sins. Amen. There is no other
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: way that any of us can be found acceptable to God. Again,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: what did Jesus say? If you attempt to climb up
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: any other way, you are a thief and a Robbia.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I am the door, I am the way, I'm the truth,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I am the Life. And we only have standing before
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: God because of what Jesus Christ Amen, accomplished on our behalf.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: We are saved because of him, because of his shed blood. Amen.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: And we are to hold fast to that truth. A man,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: foundation of fundamental a man, Jesus Christ. And this is
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: what Paul again writes to the church about it. I'm sorry,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I think I misspoke earlier when the fifteenth chapter of
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: First Corinthians. So I'm about to read a man beginning
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: at verse number one. Now again, So if you have
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: your Bible's fifteenth chapter, First Corinthians, the first letter of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the Apostle to the Church. More over, brethren, in no words,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Paul is adding to what he's already been teaching. More over, brothering,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: which also you received, and in which you stand. Listen,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: please understand what is Paul saying. Paul saying very simply here,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I preached the gospel. I preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Now you've heard the gospel that I preach. You believe
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the gospel that I preach. You received the gospel that
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I preach. And it is that gospel, that word that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I preach unto you in which you have your standing. Listen.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You don't have any standing before God apart from the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Gospel of Jesus Christ. Amen. So Paul said, I preached
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the gospel to you. You receive this gospel, and you
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: are now standing. You are a body of Christ. You
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: are the you know, the temple of the Living God,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: A man because of your receiving, your believing, and you're
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: a man baptism into Jesus Christ by the Gospel. How
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: can they hear? The Bible says, Oh, thank you Lord,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: how can they hear without a preacher? Amen? God sends
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the preacher to preach. What preach the word, Preach the Gospel.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Preach the truth. Amen. It is the truth that sets
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: captives free. Amen. And this is what the apostle Paul preached.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: He preached the word. He admonished his son Timothy in
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the Gospel. Preach the word. Be instant in season, out
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all suffering and doctrine.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Because the time would come. Paul warn that men will
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: not want to endure sound doctrine. Not only the people
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: not want to endure sound doctrine. Amen. And this, by
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the way, that's a telltale sign of a church, a man,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of a preacher, of a ministry that is not rooted
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and fundamentally grounded in this pillar of the faith. When
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you depart from this. Jesus died for our sins. Again,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? By the way he died, Listen,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: he didn't just die for our sins for our sins
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to be forgiven, and that okay, well I'm forgiven, I'm saved,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I'm on my way to heaven. Now I can just
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: live like I want to know. No, Jesus dying for
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: our sins means also that he died to deliver us
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: from the bundange of sin, from the power of sin,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: from the persuasion of sin. Sin is no longer Romans
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: chapter six. To read it for yourself, is no longer
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to have dominion over us, power over us. Amen. The
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: strongholds are to be broken. Any man be in Christ.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I believe he wrote this to this church. He becomes
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: a new creation. The oldest pass away, and behold, all
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: things become new. This is what the Gospel of Jesus
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Christ is all about. This is why Jesus came. He said,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I will be in you, I will live in you.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I would dwelling you. Amen, hallelujah, Thank you Jesus. Gospel
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: foundational and fundamental, fundamental to our faith. Hosts. That I
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: preached it, you heard it, you believed it, you received.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: How can they hear without a preacher? And what are
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: we to preach? Preach the word? Preach the Gospel of
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, Pall says, by which verse number two, you
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: are saved. What are we saved by the gospel. This
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: is what Jesus said, Go into all the world and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: preach the gospel. That's what he told his disciples. That
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: is that's what he's he has commissioned the church to do.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: To go and preach the gospel. Go and preach the gospel.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: We are saved by the Gospel. And this is what
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: he says, by which also you are saved. You cannot
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: be saved any other way. Church of the Living God.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: He says, if you hold fast that word which I
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: preach to you, unless you believe in vain. Oh, my God,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: help us Jesus, all helpens. Lord, help us, Lord, help us, Lord,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: help us. Lord, save by the Gospel. We'll say, by
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the Gospel. And listen, we gotta hold on to that.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: That's what we hold on to. Amen, For I delivered
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to you. First of all, this is what Paul says.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: This is what I delivered to you. Let me let
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: me remind you what I preach to you. So he's
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: now rehearsing, reviewing. Amen. By the way again, because there
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: is a very deceptive I mean this Savan is crafty,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and he comes in to steal away the word. He
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: comes in to steal away the truth. And if you
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: can't steal it the way, he wants to compromise it. Amen.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: And he wants you to compromise. He wants me to compromise. Amen.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He wants us to uh accept a man and co
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: mingle other doctrines and other beliefs and other religions. Amen,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and mingle them all together. All we're all going the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: same path. We're all going the same way. There's no
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: when all all religions are equally valid. Lies lies lies, Amen, lies,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: lies lies. Paul said, I'm delivering I delivered brother to you.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: First of all, this is what he says, that which
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I also received. Where did he get it? He got
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: it from Jesus Christ himself. He says, this is what
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I have delivered to you what I received. That Christ
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: died four hour sins and this is very important according
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: he rose again. That's the gospel of ladies and gentlemen.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: His death, his burial, his resurrection. Paul says, he rose
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: again the third day, according to the scriptures. Now, later
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: on and we'll get to this in our next session
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: or two. Amen. The I mean, boy, the resurrection of
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. We have no hope. And and again this
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: we'll get to it. We'll get to it. We'll get
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to it. But Paul, again, this is foundational, This is
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: fundamental to the faith. And he simply reminds them him
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: them here in this letter that Jesus died for our
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: sins according to the scriptures, that is, in God's predetermined
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: plan of redemption. To remember, the lamb of God was
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: slaying from the foundation of the world. God did not,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: oh well, Adam, saying, oh, what are we going to
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: do all Jesus, these people are just going crazy. They're
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: going astray. I don't know what I'm gonna do with
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: these lost souls, these men who are rebelling against me,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: a man who are refusing to walk in my law
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and my commands. Amen, I don't know what I'm gonna do. No,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: God's plan before the foundation of the world, Amen, it
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: was predetermined, and then it was given to us. In
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the oldest matter of fact, the very first Gospel was
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: preached by God himself at the moment that Adam and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Eve said and fell into garden. Amen, that the Lamb
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: of God, the servant, the suffering servant, he would come
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and bruise the head of that serpent. Amen. And so
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: all throughout the Old Testament. Then when pauls of the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: scriptures here, he's referring to the Old Testament. All throughout
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the God through the mouth of his prophets, a man
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: foretold of Jesus Christ coming into the world, a man
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to atone, to be the lamb, to give his body
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and his blood as an offering for whole. Thank you, Lord,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: who has believed our report, to whom say amor the
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Lord been revealed. Amen. He was wounded, the Bible says,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: reading Isaiah fifty three, for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. Amen,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the chastisement of our peace was placed upon him by
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: his strife. Amen. The Bible says, we are here all
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: we like sheep. We were going to stray, but God
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: laid on Jesus the Christ the iniquities of us. All.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: That's how we are saved because of Jesus. And this
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: is what Paul is reminding them. Is all written, it
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: was all foretold, It was all in the predetermined, predestined,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: plan of God from the foundation of the world. Christ
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: died according to the scriptures. When he came, he says, Lo,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: it is written of me in the volume of the book,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: to do thy will. That's why in that garden of
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Casemite he prayed, never nevertheless, nevertheless, not my will, but
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Thine be done. He died according to the scriptures. Amen.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: And and and he was buried in a tomb that
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I don't even have the time to go through. Amen,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: those prophecies concerning his death, his burial with the rich.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: And we know of Joseph of Arimathea, a man the
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: rich man, who placed the body of Christ in his
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: own tomb. So Jesus was buried, and according to Amen,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: this impossibility. The Bible speaks, so Peter spoke of this.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: By the way, after the resurrection of Jesus, it was
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: impossible for death to hold him down. The grave could
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: not hold him. Why, because Jesus was sinless. Death only
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: has power over sinners. That's why it is appointed to
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: all of us to die. We have sinned, all have
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: And all men are appointed death. Amen. But it was
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: impossible for death to hold Jesus down. Matter of fact,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: he gave up his life. He surrendered his life, and man,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: no one took it from him. And man he laid
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: it down. He said, I have power to lay it down,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: have power to take it up again. So he rose
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: triumphant from the dead, from the grave on the third day,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: according to the scriptures. That's what Paul is reminding them of.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: All that Jesus did, all that he accomplished was according
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to the scriptures, the Old Testament, right that God revealed
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: thousands of years before Jesus Christ came incarnate into the world. Amen,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: by the virgin birth. That's a little extra there. Amen.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: But the point of emphasis, Amen, that must not be
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: glossed over again, that must not be minimized anyway, is
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: that all of this was done according to the scriptures.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: So important Jesus fulfilled. Oh my God, I don't remember
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the number of prophecies. I mean, literally hundreds, if not thousands.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I don't remember what the numbers are, Amen, prophecies concerning
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: him in the Old Testament. I mean he fulfilled every
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: single one of them. Amen. And then on top of that,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: after he rolls from the dead, ladies and gentlemen, Church
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: of Living God. Oh, there were eye witnesses, not one,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: not two, not three, not four, not ten, not twenty
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: hundreds ladies and gentlemen who saw him after he rolls
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: from the dead. And this is what Paul reminds them of,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: because again, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you leave that out, if you don't
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: believe that the dead rise. I'm getting ahead, I'm getting
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the head. I'm getting a head. I'm getting a head.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Help me, Jesus, help me, Jesus. Listen. In verse five,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Paul says he rolls the third day according to the scriptures,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and that verse five he was seen by Sephus. That's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Peter he's speaking of. Then by the twelve all of
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the apostles saw him verse number six. After that he
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: whom the greater part remained to the president. In other words,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: at the time the apostle Paul was writing this letter
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: to the Corinthian Church, many most the majority of the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: five hundred witnesses who saw Jesus after he rolls from
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the dead, they were still alive and testifying, validating everything
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that had happened, Paul says, most of these witnesses, of
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: these more than five hundred who saw him after he
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: rolls from the dead, they are still alive to this day,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and they can attest, he said, But some of them
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: have fallen asleep. But then after that, Paul says, he
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: last of all, Paul says, he was seen by me
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: also as by one born out of due time. What
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: is he speaking of, Because Paul was not around during
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the time of Jesus Amen three and a half years
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: of ministry in and out of Jerusalem and the surrounding region.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Paul is speaking here of his Damascus road, the experience
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: when he saw Jesus, when he was blinded by the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: all the light, the light, the glory, the magnificence, the brightness.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: He says, that was above the brightness of the noonday sun.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: And when he saw it blinded him and he knew,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: he knew who it was, and he said, who art
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: thou Lord? He said, I am Jesus. I'm the one
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: that you're persecuting. When you're persecuting my church, you're persecuting me.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: So Paul saw him. Amen. Paul heard from him, he says,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: last of all, he was seen by me. He said,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Verse nine, he said, for I am the least of
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the apostles, who am not worthy to be called and
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: apostle because I persecuted the Church of God. But by
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the grace of God. And we all saved by the
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: grace of God. All thank you Jesus. We're all saved
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: by grace, not of works. The Bible teaches not that
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: any man, so that any man, no man will be
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: able to boast. It's not of works, no good deeds.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Nothing you can bring, nothing, you can offer nothing. You
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: have a man that can atone for your sins, a
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: man for depravity, for your lost state, only by the
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: blood of Jesus, only through him, Paul says, by the
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: grace of God, I am what I am, and his
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: grace towards me was not in vain, he says, But
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I labored more abundantly than they all. Yet not I
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: but the grace of God which was in me. Therefore,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: whether it was I or they, soul. This is what
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: he says. We are all preaching. We're all preaching the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Gospel and soul. You believe. What did you believe. How
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: did you believe a man? You believe the gospel? Because
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: we preach the gospel. That's what we do, That's who
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: we are. And may it never be. And I'm getting
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: ready to close here, but may it never be that
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: any of us who name the name of Christ. And
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: by the way, I'm going to read the letter of
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Jude in closing, so if you have everybody but you
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: can go with me there. But may it never be
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: that any of us who named the name of Christ
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: depart from the faith. Because we live in a time,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: we live in a season of delusion, of confusion, of
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: deception a man. And it has many again who profess
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: to know God, many who profess the name of Jesus.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: And Jesus said, by the way, why call you mean
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: lord Lord? And do not the things that I say?
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: If you are disciple of Jesus, if you are a Christian,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: that means, of course, named after Christ. That's what Christianity is. Supposedly,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: you are following in the footsteps of Jesus. You're doing
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: all of his commandment. Jesus he told his disciples, he said,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: if you love me, keep my commandments. If you love me,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: don't say that you love Jesus and you don't obey him.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Don't say that you're a Christian and you won't follow him,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and you won't walk in his word. You won't, you
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: won't do the things that he say. He has spoken
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: a man again, Why call you mean, Lord, Lord? And
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: do not the things that I say? May it never
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: be that any of us who named the name of
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Christ depart from the faith again, because we're living in
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: a time of compromise a man, a time when people
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: in the church, so called, undermine the mission of a church.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: People in the church change the truth of God into
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a lie again, professing to know God, professing to be Christians,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: but in works they deny him. They are abominable. I'm talking.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying what the word says. They are disobedient.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: That's why in that day there would be many who
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: would come these are words of Jesus, who will come
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: making a profession again, boasting in themselves. Lord Lord, Have
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: we not did we not prophesy in your name? Did
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: we not cast out devils in your name? Did we not?
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Did we not? Did we not? That's what I did? Well?
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Didn't I do this? And did I do that? Depart
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: from me, you workers of iniquity, Jesus says. Listen, listen, listen,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: listen what he says. I never you, You will never say.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: You were never one of my sheep. Amen, you were
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: never converted. You played the part, you look the part,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: you dressed, the part, you talk the part, but you
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: weren't a part of the body of Jesus Christ. You
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: can't compromise the gospel. You can't change the gospel. You
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: can't change the truth. Amen. Amen, we can't. We can't.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: We can't depart from that. And so the Gospel of
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ again is fundamental and foundational to our faith.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: We close with these always always pertinent words, Amen. Warning
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: from the apostle Jude, Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the brother James. Amen to them that are sanctified by
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: mercy unto you, and peace and love be multiplied. Thank you,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Jesus Beloved. When I gave all diligence to write unto
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: you of the common salvation, it was needful, he says,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: for me to write unto you and exhort you that
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: you should earnestly help Us Jesus contend for the faith
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: and our Lord Jesus Christ. I will therefore put you
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the Lord,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: after it destroyed them that believe not, and the angels,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: he hath reserved in everlasting change under the darkness, unto
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the day, or rather unto the judgment of the Great Day.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Even as Sodom and the Marrow, and these cities about them,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication and going
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: after strange flesh, are set forth for an example suffering
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise, also these filthy dreamers
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Yet Michael the Archangel, when contending with the devil, he
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: disputed about the body of Moses does not bring against
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: him a railing accusation, but said the Lord rebuke thee.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: But these speak evil of these things which they know not,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: but what they know naturally as group beasts. And these
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: things they corrupt themselves roll unto them, for they have
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: gone in the way of Cain and ran greedily after
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: the era of Balem for reward, and perish in the
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: gainsaying of Corey. These are spots in your feast of charity,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear. Clouds.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: They are without water, carried about of winds, trees whose
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: fruit wither without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own chain,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: wondering stars. The Omans reserve the blackness of darkness forever.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: And Enich also the seventh from Adam prophesied of these, saying, behold,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: ungodly among them of all their un goodly deeds which
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: they have are godly committed, and of all their heart
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: walking after their own lusts, and their mouth speak withth
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: But beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. How that
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: they told you there should be mockers in the last time,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: who should walk after their own luss. These be they
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: who separate themselves sensual, having not the spirit. But ye, beloved,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: the holy ghost. This is what he says. Keep you
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: your selves in the love of God, looking for the
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life. And
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: if I'm having compassion making the difference in others say
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: with fear pulling them out of the fire, hating even
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: is able, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Lord. Now
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: unto him that is able to keep you from falling,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: with exceeding joy to the only wise God, our Savior,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: A man amen to the word of Living God. God.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Bless you in Jesus name. God, help us to stand
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: and to contend for the faith in these lasts of
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: the last and evil days. Six
