• 2:06
  Speaker 1: about Jesus and that's what we want to focus on,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a man for as long as necessary. Jesus the Christ,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the Bible, the Book of Genesis through Revelation, it's all
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: about him. It's centered around him, and we are called
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to preach him, to preach the Gospel, to preach the Word,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to preach the truth, the doctrine of Christ. And that's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: what the Church is built on, a man, the doctrine
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of Christ. Christians derived from Christ. Amen. We come from Him.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: We are in him and without him, and apart from
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: him we can do nothing. So all of a man,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: very existence and our mission is all rooted in Jesus
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the Christ. Amen. And if you have your Bible, to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: go with us to Matthew's Gospel chapter number sixteen. We're
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: gonna be reading a few verses there momentarily, But of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: course again we want to uh thank all of you

  Speaker 1: because it is our endeavor a man is to preach
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the r H the truth of the Word of God
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in such a time as this, Amen, when the hearts
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of men are failing them for fear. Amen. We are
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: living in the last of the last days, and we
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: want to be found faithful, and we certainly want to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: be ready a man for the return of the Lord
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, which will be happening sooner than many would
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: want to believe. Amen, in an hour that you think not.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: The Son of Man come all right. Matthew's Gospel, chapter sixteen. Father,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: we thank you again for this day. We thank you
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: for the blessings that you've bestowed upon us. We thank
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you for supplying everyone of our need according to your
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: riches in glory. We thank you for eyes open ears,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: tuned heart believing. Thank you for the word that you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: sent down from heaven. We pray that it will prosper
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in us, and we pray that it will a man
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: work in someone today, O, Lord, that they may come
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to know thee true and the only Living God. And
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, thou has sent to be the savior of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: all them that believe, be magnified, be glorified today, Amen,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And a man all right, as evil men and seducers.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Of course, this is biblical, this is prophetic. Amen. As
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: they get worse and worse in their own deceptions and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in their own delusions, to their own detriment and destruction,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: they continue to be in the demi de nihil of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the truth of God, the truth of the Word of God,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the truth of the scriptures, the truth of the revelation,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the self revelation of God concerning himself and concerning what
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he has done and is going to do. Amen. This
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: is to their own destruction. Amen, Jesus that we're speaking
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: about going to be talking about again on today. A
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: man they deny the biblical and historical revelation of him
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a man. The manifestation of God as who he is.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: God manifested in the flesh of the scriptures tell us
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: greatest the mystery of godliness. God was manifested in the flesh.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: God was in Christ. Jesus said it this way, I
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and my Father are one. If you have seen me,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you have seen the Father. Amen. And the problem that
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: we have is that, Amen. This is not a new
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: philosophical failure on the part of man, because it was
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: prevalent at the time of the incarnation. While Jesus walked
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: on this earth, there were those who simply refused to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: believe that he was who he is. Amen. And so
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: we go to the Gospel of Matthew, chapter sixteen, verse thirteen.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: We'll pick it up there. When Jesus came into the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: coast of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, whom
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: do men say that I the son of Man am?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And they said, some say that thou art Youohn the Baptist,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: some Elias and others. Jeremiah, one of the prophets, He said,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: unto them, but whom say ye that I I am?
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And Simon Peter answered and said, thou art the Christ
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the son of the Living God. And Jesus answered and said,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: unto him, blessed art thou simon Barjona, For flesh and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: blood hath not revealed it unto thee. But my Father,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: which is in heaven. Whom do men say that Jesus is?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Who is Jesus? Well, ladies and gentlemen, again, on the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: reliability and the truthfulness and the veracity of the word
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of the Living God, we are asserting, based upon the scriptures,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that this Jesus, the Christ, is the unchangeable God. He
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: is the immutable God. He is who the Word of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: God declares and reveals to us that he is. He
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: is who he is based upon the scriptures. He is
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the first and the last. He is the Almighty. He
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: is the Great I Am. What mere mortal men think
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, or what men may want to believe in
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: their hearts, what they may express in their words concerning
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: who Jesus is is irrelevant, amen and inconsequential to his
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: immutable existence. In other words, whether a man is in denial, delusion, unbelief,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: whatever it does not, it cannot, it will not change
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the very nature or the essence of who Jesus is.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: We simply cannot, Amen, dismiss. I mean we can mentally
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: if we want to. The Bible speaks of this, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: this is by the way a man, the again indictment
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that is upund man. They knew God, but they refuse
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to glorify him, not as God. And even those who
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: walked on the earth while Jesus was here in the incarnation,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they had their own differing opinions as to who he is.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to tell you you cannot.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You cannot. You don't have the authority, you don't have
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the choice. Really, I know, we love, you know choice
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: in America. We love to have our opinions, our own
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you know beliefs. But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: no no. Your unbelief in who Jesus is cannot and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: will not change who he is. So what you believe
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: concerning him is irrelevant and inconsequential to his immutability. He
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: is God, he will always be, he always was. And
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: your unbelief, my unbelief, No one's a man. Unbelief can
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: change that. Amen, can't change the state, the status of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: his existence. Of his being. Amen. And in the same respect,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: by the way, those of us who believe the Word
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: of God, believe the scriptures, believe who Jesus is. Amen.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Our faith, our belief, our trust, our confidence. What we state, amen,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: what we preach, what we live by. It does not
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: alter who Jesus is. In other words, just because I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: believe that he is the Christ, just because I believe
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that he is the Savior, just because I believe that
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: he is the Father, the Almighty God, the immutable God,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it does not change or alter or even elevate his
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: status by my belief in him. Because he is the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: same as he has always been, and there's nothing that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: we can add to him, and there's nothing, certainly that
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: we can take away from him. He is who he is,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: regardless of what men think, regardless of what men may say.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Jesus is who he is, and he is the unchangeable God.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: He is the immutable God. Now sadly, of course, for
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: those Jews who did not come to know and come
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to believe that Jesus is the Christ, that Jesus is
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the Messiah, by the way, the one that they were
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: supposedly looking for, the one that they were supposedly in
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: expectation of a man. Sadly, for them, they formed their
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: own opinion again as to who they thought Jesus is.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Some say you are Elias, some say you are Jeremiah,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: some say you are John the Baptist. I mean these
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: people had the opinion of a prophet risen from the dead,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that Jesus was a prophet. Amen. I mean that is
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that's that's faith, by the way, I mean, you want
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to believe that this man is someone who rolls from
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the dead, ay man, That takes some kind of faith. However,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: m m mmmm. Again, we do not get to decide
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: who Jesus is, and he be that for us or
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to us simply based upon what we want or desire
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: for him to be. No, ma'am, no, sir, No, ma'am no, sir. Now,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: if he is the savior, then that he is the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: savior for all men and to all men, and not
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: for some. Amen. And then if there are others who
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: are to be saved, then there is another way for them,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: another avenue, another avatar. No ma'am, no, sir. If he's
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the mediator between God and man, the only mediator, then
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: there is no other. If he is the door, then
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: there is no other. If he is the way, then
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: there is no other. We do not get to decide
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: who Jesus is. Who he is is unchangeable, even by
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: his own nature. There are things, ladies and gentlemen, some
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: things that God cannot do. One of the things that
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: he cannot do is change. Because of the very nature
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of his attributes, it is impossible for God to lie.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: It is impossible for God to die, It is impossible
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: for God to fail, and it is impossible for God
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to change. God alone has a city a s e.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I t y self existence. He alone is the self
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: existent being. He alone is omnipotent, possessing all power. He
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: alone is I'm not present. He feels all places and
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: spaces at the same time. He alone is omniscient. He'll
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: long has life in and of himself. He's not self created.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: He simply is and was and is to come, as
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus said the Almighty. And by the way, there is
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: no cause. There is no motive, There is no purpose.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: There is no profit benefit to him at all in changing.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: He has no reason, no cause to change. In fact,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: for man, for us, it would be the end of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: faith itself. And possibly I don't know. I don't know
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: where my imagination could take me, but it possibly could
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: be the in the existence if God were to change
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the very survivability if you look at creation itself, the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: very survivability of the creation is wholly dependent upon the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: constancy of order, the predictability of everything that is necessary
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: for all creatures, not just us, all of the creation
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: itself to be sustained and to procreate. As much as
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the infidels an atheists so called, want to deny the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: remarkable steadfastness and the resilience of this earth that God
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: spoken too, existence that came into a distance by the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: word of its power, it is self evident that the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: intricate design and detail of this created order in which
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: we are still surviving, ladies and gentlemen living in it,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: is self excuse me, self evident that this order must
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: have consistency, and that consistency and reliability for the survival
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: of all of creation, if you will, is derived from
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and is dependent upon Jesus, the very one who created
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: all things. And you say, well, a way, wait mane
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I vote in the beginning, Well, in the beginning, the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Bible says John one and one was the word the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: word was with God, and the Word was God. The
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: same was in the beginning with God. All things were
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: made by him, Him, oh Jesus, and without him was
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: not any thing made. That was made. In him was life,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and the life was the light of men. This Word
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: was made flesh, the Bible says, and it dwelt among us.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: God and his Word are inseparable. Jesus is the Word
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: of God manifested in the flesh. This world, in all
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the created order, is being upheld by that same word
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of His power, that same power of his word that
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: was spoken in eternity past, long before mankind came to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: walk upon this planet. And mere mortal man, man, mere
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: mortal men, who do not have the power to sustain
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: their own lives in this world, nor to alter the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: nature of who they are. They, certainly, ladies and gentlemen,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: should not presume upon themselves that they can change the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: essence and the being of the almighty Creator, who made
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: us for himself, for his glory, for his honor, for
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: his majesty, for his dominion, for his kingdom, and for
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: his good pleasure. Who are we? Who are you, mere
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: mortal man, that you can decide who the Almighty God
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: is of his nature, of his essence, of his power,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: of his authority, of his dominion. Who are you? Who
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Jesus is is not subjective, and it is certainly not
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: left up to the surmising of flimsy, whimsical, fallen, fallible
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: flesh in their carnality. Might I add to determine for
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: themselves who Jesus is, not, who he was, Who he
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: is because he is the I am, As he said
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to the Jews before Abraham was I am Abraham rejoiced
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to see my day. He saw it and was glad,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and the Jews, astonished, be fuddled in their carnal mind,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: said to Jesus, you are not yet fifty years old,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and have you seen Abraham before Abraham came into existence?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, I am, ladies and gentlemen, He Jesus, is
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the unchangeable, almighty God of creation, who has revealed to
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: us through his prophets of old and by his own appearance.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: When he, as the Bible says, made himself of no reputation,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: took on the form of a service, was found in
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the likeness of men. He came, he descended down from above.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. I am from above you are
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: from beneath. I am not of this world. My kingdom
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: is not of this world. This unchangeable Almighty God descended
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: down from above, Amen, in love and inhumility, in order
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: to save rebel men from their sins, from their delusion,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: from their destructive ways, from a certain death, from the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: wrath of God, from the eternal damnation that awaits those
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: who again want to desire to live in rebellion and
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: unbelief of who Jesus is. But he came to save
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: us from it. Jesus cannot change, and ladies and gentlemen,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: we cannot change who he is. And in this, by
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the way, the unchangeableness, if you will, the immutability of God.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: In this we have, oh blessed assurance. We have great
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: confidence not only in who he is, not only in
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: what he has done, but also concerning the things that
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: are yet to come to pass. Jesus Christ, as the
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: scriptures say, is the same, yesterday, today and forevermore. God
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: be praised, God be glorified. And may your eyes and
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: ears be open, may your heart be receptive, and may
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: you come to know that Jesus is the Christ. Jesus
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: is the Savior Jesus is the Almighty. Jesus is the Way.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Jesus is the only hope of glory. For lost man, Father,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: we pray, we thank you for your word. We pray
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: that someone somewhere will hear the voice of the Savior
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: as you knock at the door of their heart. You
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: came to seeking to save that which was a lost. Lord.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: We pray that they will hear, they will believe, they
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: will open their mouths. You will come in. You will
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: suck with them, You will be with them, You will
• 25:55
