Exodus 20:8-11 · Providence Baptist Church - Sermons

0:00
Who's got your copy of God's Word and turn to Exodus chapter 20.
0:07
This is part two of our consideration of Exodus chapter 20 verses 8 through 11.
0:14
! And so I want to get you there.
0:16
I want you to mark this place in your Bible
0:19
and let you know that we won't stay here much today.
0:25
We're taking a break from our careful study of the Sermon on the Mount
0:29
because we were brought to Matthew chapter 5 verses 17 through 20
0:33
where Matthew records Jesus saying the following.
0:38
Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets.
0:42
I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
0:46
For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away,
0:49
not an iota, not a dot will pass from the law until all is accomplished.
0:55
Therefore, whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments
0:57
and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven.
1:01
Whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
1:06
For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees,
1:10
you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
1:13
And this text has caused us to ask the question,
1:16
what is the relationship between the Old Testament law and the gospel of Jesus Christ?
1:23
And this is a highly contested question.
1:28
And so with much labor, we have answered that question with two answers.
1:35
Number one, the Old Testament law is meant to bring us to Jesus Christ.
1:41
It fixes for us the holy standard that God requires and exposes our failure to keep it.
1:47
It creates for us a problem and sends us looking for a solution,
1:54
a solution that is found in the person and work of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
2:02
Secondly, having been set free from the burden of it,
2:07
the Old Testament law continues to serve as a guide for how our lives might please God.
2:15
So having been accepted by God and the perfect righteousness of Jesus,
2:21
we are gratefully obedient to the moral commands of God for our good and for his glory.
2:29
So I want to take a moment to unpack this phrase or these two phrases that we tend to use a lot around here.
2:37
And as I thought about this, I realized just how often we say for our good and for his glory in our gatherings together.
2:46
And so just take a moment with me and think about what it is that we're trying to communicate in saying such phrases.
2:56
First, for our good.
2:57
I want to address the charge of legalism at this point.
3:05
It is absolutely astounding to me that in the modern church,
3:10
whenever the clear commands of God, the explicit commands of God are instructed,
3:17
there follows an accusation of legalism.
3:20
We find ourselves in a place and in a day where the great liberal experiment,
3:30
and I'm not talking about liberalism versus conservatism,
3:34
the American experiment itself was an experiment in liberty,
3:39
casting off all authority,
3:43
has led us to a place where no one likes authority at all.
3:48
We want to be the masters of our own universe.
3:53
We want to absolutely reign in all ways.
3:57
And beloved, this is not the way the world works.
4:01
We are created beings, and therefore we have a creator.
4:06
And we do well when we recognize that we are meant to be under his authority.
4:12
To be legalistic is to add to the commandments of God
4:18
and demand adherence to these extra-biblical commands,
4:23
or to believe and teach that the keeping of any commandment of God is salvific,
4:31
that we must keep the commands in order to be saved.
4:36
Keeping the command leads us to salvation versus us being saved,
4:41
and therefore we want to keep the commands.
4:46
I have never once been legalistic in my teaching of God's word.
4:51
I have made other errors in teaching, but I have never once been legalistic.
4:56
So be careful.
4:58
Lest in your effort to avoid legalism,
5:02
you become licentious.
5:04
Do not take lightly the commandments of God.
5:10
Because God's commands are good for us.
5:14
They are good for us.
5:16
They are a gift to us.
5:19
At the creation of the world,
5:21
God does not leave the man without his good word.
5:26
Genesis chapter 2, verse 15 and following.
5:28
The Lord God took the man and he put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
5:35
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying,
5:37
You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,
5:39
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat.
5:43
For in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die.
5:48
God says to Adam, don't die.
5:51
And let me tell you how not to die.
5:54
This is a good word.
5:55
It's a good command given to Adam.
5:59
And you likely know the story well.
6:02
It doesn't take too long for Adam and Eve to be tested in their faithfulness to God's good command.
6:08
We read in Genesis chapter 3, verse 1 and following.
6:13
Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.
6:17
He said to the woman,
6:19
Did God actually say,
6:22
You shall not eat of any tree in the garden?
6:23
And the woman said to the serpent,
6:26
We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden.
6:29
But God said,
6:30
You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden.
6:33
Neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
6:37
But the serpent said to the woman,
6:38
You will not surely die.
6:40
For God knows that when you eat of it,
6:42
your eyes will be open and you will be like God,
6:44
knowing good and evil.
6:47
The serpent, in essence,
6:49
said,
6:50
That legalist,
6:52
he is trying to deny you something that is good for you.
6:57
And the command to not eat of it was clearly the good command.
7:04
But the serpent says,
7:05
Do not listen to these kind of strict rules.
7:10
Verse 6, Genesis 3,
7:12
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
7:18
and that it was a delight to the eyes,
7:20
and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,
7:22
she took of its fruit and ate.
7:24
She also gave some to her husband who was with her,
7:27
and he ate.
7:29
In like fashion,
7:30
mankind has been rejecting God's good commands ever since.
7:35
And, beloved,
7:36
it is a great deception of the devil
7:38
for us to think,
7:39
having been saved by the personal work of Jesus Christ,
7:42
that God's commands have ceased being good.
7:47
The book you hold in your lap,
7:49
hope that you hold in your lap,
7:51
is full of rich,
7:53
loving,
7:55
joy-bringing instruction.
7:57
This is why I say each Lord's Day,
8:00
before I read our text for the morning,
8:02
Beloved,
8:03
this is God's word to us,
8:05
written for his glory
8:06
and our good.
8:09
We'd all do well to listen to it
8:10
in order to believe its promises
8:12
and obey
8:13
its commands.
8:15
I hope you will never grow tired
8:18
of hearing this,
8:19
and that you do believe the promises of the Bible,
8:21
and that you do keep the commands
8:23
of the Bible
8:24
in ever-increasing fashion.
8:27
Telling you what God requires of you
8:30
is not legalism.
8:32
It is loving.
8:34
And any pastor who withholds the truth,
8:37
as many in our day,
8:39
because he doesn't want to make you uncomfortable,
8:43
is not fit to be a pastor.
8:46
So it's for your good
8:47
that we want to consider the commands of God.
8:50
But it is also,
8:51
and it's more importantly,
8:52
for God's glory.
8:54
For his glory.
8:56
So turn with me again,
8:57
keeping a mark in Exodus chapter 20
9:00
to Psalm 119
9:02
and verse 129.
9:06
Psalm 119, 129.
9:08
Psalm 119 is about
9:31
the commands of God.
9:33
And the psalmist writes,
9:35
Your testimonies are wonderful.
9:40
Therefore,
9:41
my soul keeps them.
9:42
The unfolding of your words gives light
9:45
and imparts understanding to the simple.
9:48
I open my mouth and pant
9:51
because I long for your commandments.
9:54
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
9:56
as is your way with those who love your name.
9:59
Keep steady my steps according to your promise
10:03
and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
10:07
Redeem me from man's oppression
10:08
that I may keep your precepts.
10:12
Make your face shine upon your servant
10:14
and teach me your statutes.
10:18
My eyes shed streams of tears
10:21
because people do not keep your law.
10:24
I want to make three quick observations
10:26
from Psalm 119
10:28
verses 129 through 136.
10:32
First,
10:32
the psalmist loves the Lord.
10:36
A broader reading of Psalm 119
10:37
reveals this.
10:39
He loves the Lord
10:40
and therefore loves the commandments
10:42
of the Lord.
10:45
Verse 129,
10:46
and your testimonies are wonderful.
10:50
Therefore,
10:50
my soul,
10:51
my very being
10:52
keeps them.
10:55
Secondly,
10:56
Psalm 119 suggests
10:57
no tension between
10:59
the gospel of Jesus Christ
11:01
and the law.
11:03
The psalmist seeks
11:05
deliverance from sin
11:06
so that he might obey
11:09
the law.
11:10
He seeks first
11:11
to be saved from his sins
11:13
so that he can be obedient
11:14
to God's good command.
11:19
Psalm 119,
11:20
verse 134,
11:22
redeem me
11:23
from man's oppression
11:25
or the oppression of man
11:27
that I may keep
11:29
your precepts.
11:32
And thirdly,
11:34
for this joy
11:35
of keeping the law,
11:36
for all this joy
11:37
that the psalmist finds
11:39
in the Lord
11:39
and in the keeping
11:41
of his law,
11:42
all is not well.
11:45
Verse 136,
11:47
my eyes shed streams
11:49
of tears
11:50
because people
11:51
do not
11:52
keep your law.
11:54
The psalmist
11:54
has broken up
11:55
over the fact
11:56
that others
11:57
don't keep
11:58
this good
11:59
commandment.
12:01
So,
12:02
implicit
12:03
in the psalmist's words
12:05
words is
12:06
mission.
12:09
The need
12:09
for the glory
12:10
of the Lord
12:10
to be made known
12:11
amongst the peoples
12:12
of the world.
12:15
And we shouldn't
12:16
be unfamiliar
12:17
with this idea
12:17
at this point.
12:18
If you will recall
12:19
two weeks ago,
12:20
we spent considerable time
12:22
looking at the introduction
12:23
of God's giving
12:24
of the law to Israel
12:25
at Mount Sinai.
12:26
Do you remember this?
12:28
Exodus chapter 19,
12:29
verses 1 through 6.
12:32
Go there with me.
12:33
We are done
12:34
with Psalm 119.
12:36
Psalm 119.
12:50
Beginning in verse 1,
12:51
Exodus 19.
12:52
On the third new moon
12:54
after the people of Israel
12:55
had gone out
12:56
of the land of Egypt,
12:57
on that day
12:57
they came into
12:58
the wilderness of Sinai.
13:00
They set out
13:00
from Rephidim
13:01
and came into
13:02
the wilderness of Sinai
13:03
and they encamped
13:04
in the wilderness.
13:05
There Israel
13:06
encamped
13:06
before the mountain.
13:09
While Moses
13:09
went up to God,
13:11
the Lord God
13:11
called to him
13:12
out of the mountain
13:12
saying,
13:13
Thus you shall say
13:14
to the house of Jacob
13:14
and tell the people
13:15
of Israel,
13:17
You yourselves
13:18
have seen
13:18
what I did
13:18
to the Egyptians
13:19
and how I bore you
13:20
on eagles' wings
13:21
and brought you
13:22
to myself.
13:24
Right?
13:24
I made you my people.
13:26
Now therefore,
13:28
if you will indeed
13:29
obey my voice
13:30
and keep my covenant,
13:30
you shall be
13:31
my treasured possession
13:32
among all peoples
13:33
for all the earth
13:34
is mine.
13:35
You shall be to me
13:36
a kingdom of priests
13:37
and a holy nation.
13:39
These are the words
13:40
that you shall speak
13:41
to the people of Israel.
13:43
We spent some time
13:43
considering those titles
13:45
given
13:46
and came to understand
13:47
that God has a purpose
13:49
for Israel
13:50
and it is a missionary purpose
13:53
to display his glory
13:54
in the world
13:56
in holy living.
13:59
And this is still
14:00
God's purpose
14:00
for his people,
14:01
his purpose
14:02
for us.
14:04
We can know this
14:05
with absolute certainty
14:07
because the apostle Peter
14:10
borrows language
14:11
from the beginning
14:11
of Exodus chapter 19
14:13
to make the same point
14:14
in an expanded form.
14:16
This is 1 Peter chapter 2
14:18
and verse 9
14:19
where he says
14:21
to the church
14:21
you are a chosen race,
14:23
a royal priesthood,
14:25
a holy nation,
14:26
a people for his own possession
14:28
that you may proclaim
14:30
the excellencies of him
14:32
who called you out of darkness
14:33
into his marvelous light.
14:37
And so we are meant
14:38
to be keepers
14:39
of the moral law
14:39
having been delivered
14:41
from the burden of it
14:42
in order
14:43
to proclaim
14:45
God's glory
14:47
amongst the peoples
14:48
and
14:49
for our good.
14:52
We are meant
14:52
to be a people
14:53
set apart
14:54
in this way.
14:57
So Exodus chapter 20
14:58
verses 8
15:00
through 11
15:01
you should be
15:01
really close to it
15:02
right now.
15:04
Beloved,
15:06
this is God's word
15:07
to us.
15:09
It was written
15:09
for his glory
15:10
and our good
15:12
and we would all
15:13
do well
15:13
to listen to it
15:14
in order to believe
15:15
its promises
15:15
and obey its commands.
15:19
Remember the Sabbath day
15:21
to keep it holy.
15:23
Six days you shall labor
15:24
and do all your work
15:25
but the seventh day
15:26
is a Sabbath
15:26
through the Lord your God.
15:28
On it you shall not
15:29
do any work
15:30
you or your son
15:31
or your daughter,
15:32
your male servant
15:33
or your female servant
15:34
or your livestock
15:36
or the sojourner
15:37
who is within your gates.
15:38
For in six days
15:40
the Lord made
15:41
the heaven
15:41
and the earth
15:42
the sea
15:43
and all that is in them
15:44
and rested
15:45
on the seventh day.
15:47
Therefore the Lord
15:48
blessed the Sabbath day
15:49
and made it holy.
15:52
Now last week
15:52
we answered
15:53
two questions
15:54
in a series
15:56
of three questions.
15:59
I wish it were possible
16:00
to not talk about
16:01
those two
16:02
at this point
16:02
but I think we must.
16:04
I think we absolutely
16:05
must consider
16:06
even for those of you
16:07
who were here last week
16:08
who may even have it
16:09
very fresh on your mind
16:10
we need to think together again
16:12
to set ourselves up
16:14
well to answer
16:15
the third question.
16:18
And of course
16:19
for those of you
16:19
who weren't here
16:20
I want you to hear
16:21
these two in brief
16:23
but I also want to encourage you
16:24
to go back
16:25
and listen to that sermon.
16:27
You should be able
16:27
to find it
16:28
on our website.
16:30
The first question was
16:31
what does it mean
16:33
to keep
16:33
the fourth commandment?
16:35
And we discussed at length
16:36
how the Sabbath commandment
16:38
is sort of a ceremonial moral law
16:40
so there's a part of it
16:41
that has been fulfilled
16:43
in Christ, right?
16:45
Aiming us toward
16:46
the types of sacrifices
16:48
that were being made
16:49
showing us
16:49
the eternal rest
16:50
that can and is ours
16:52
by faith in Christ.
16:54
And that should find us
16:56
expecting some change
16:58
to the commandment
16:59
much the same way
17:00
that circumcision
17:01
is now baptism
17:03
of believers.
17:04
However
17:06
the moral component
17:08
should find us
17:09
expecting to
17:10
keep it.
17:13
I read to you a bit
17:14
from the London Baptist
17:15
Confession of 1689
17:17
as
17:17
it is the law of nature
17:19
that in
17:19
general
17:20
proportion of time
17:21
by God's appointment
17:22
he set apart
17:24
for the worship of God
17:25
so by his word
17:26
in a positive
17:27
moral
17:28
and perpetual
17:30
commandment
17:31
binding all men
17:33
in all ages
17:33
he hath particularly
17:35
appointed one day
17:36
in seven
17:37
for a Sabbath
17:38
to be kept holy unto him
17:39
which from the beginning
17:41
of the world
17:41
to the resurrection
17:42
of Christ
17:42
was the last day
17:43
of the week
17:43
and from the resurrection
17:45
of Christ
17:45
was changed
17:46
into the first day
17:47
of the week
17:48
which is called
17:49
the Lord's Day
17:50
and is to be continued
17:51
to the end of the world
17:52
as the Christian Sabbath
17:54
the observation
17:55
of the last day
17:56
of the week
17:56
being abolished.
17:58
So we talked a bit
17:59
about this
18:00
and why it is
18:02
that the early church
18:04
began to meet
18:04
rather
18:05
on Sunday
18:07
and there was
18:08
a transition period
18:09
many of the early church
18:10
continued to meet
18:11
on Saturday
18:11
and they didn't want
18:12
to burden people's
18:13
consciences
18:14
but largely
18:15
the church met
18:16
on Sunday
18:17
like looking to the hope
18:19
of a future
18:19
resurrection
18:20
celebrating the resurrection
18:22
of Christ
18:23
which happened
18:23
on the first day
18:25
of the week
18:26
Tertullian
18:28
the second century
18:29
theologian
18:29
wrote that for Christians
18:31
Sunday is a day
18:32
of joy
18:33
and that pagans
18:35
would not celebrate
18:36
anything on Sunday
18:37
for fear
18:37
that they might be
18:39
mistaken
18:39
for Christians
18:41
that day had been
18:42
so clearly
18:43
set apart
18:44
in people's minds
18:45
as a day
18:46
that the Christians
18:47
gathered
18:47
in order to celebrate
18:49
the resurrection
18:50
of Christ
18:51
last week
18:53
we looked at
18:53
Matthew chapter 12
18:54
verses 1-14
18:56
which I'm not going to read
18:57
for the sake of time
18:58
I want to encourage you
18:59
to go and look at this
19:00
yourself
19:01
where Matthew records
19:03
two separate accounts
19:04
of Jesus
19:04
dealing with the Pharisees
19:05
on the Sabbath
19:07
and we noted
19:08
three things
19:09
from this text
19:10
number one
19:10
that Jesus does not
19:11
abolish the Sabbath
19:12
in the text
19:14
number two
19:15
that Jesus allows
19:16
for work
19:18
of necessity
19:19
so we saw
19:20
the apostles
19:21
picking wheat
19:23
as they were walking
19:23
along the path
19:24
because they were
19:25
hungry
19:25
they needed food
19:27
and so they were
19:28
taking it
19:28
they would have
19:29
rolled it in their
19:29
hands
19:30
to give a quick
19:31
process of
19:32
shucking it
19:34
I'm not sure
19:34
that's probably
19:34
a corn term
19:35
not a wheat term
19:36
but so that they
19:37
could eat it
19:37
so they're walking
19:38
along doing this
19:39
and the Pharisees
19:40
were enraged
19:41
by it
19:42
so Jesus allows
19:42
for work
19:44
of necessity
19:45
and we talked
19:46
in brief
19:47
about how
19:47
this means
19:49
that military
19:50
and police
19:52
firemen
19:53
like those
19:54
we need
19:55
people
19:55
working around
19:56
the clock
19:57
through the week
19:58
these things
20:00
ER doctors
20:01
and nurses
20:02
pastors
20:04
this is
20:06
you might be
20:06
shocked
20:07
not really a day
20:09
that's restful
20:09
for me
20:10
many of my
20:12
Sundays are
20:12
16 hour
20:13
days
20:14
and don't hear me
20:14
complaining
20:15
I love
20:16
love my job
20:17
but it is not
20:17
restful
20:18
on this
20:18
day
20:19
and we don't
20:21
live in a society
20:22
that really has
20:23
any regard
20:24
any longer
20:25
for the
20:26
Lord's day
20:26
almost none
20:28
anymore
20:29
your
20:29
eight year old
20:31
child may have
20:32
to travel
20:32
and play baseball
20:33
if you're gonna
20:34
pursue
20:34
baseball
20:35
so I
20:38
think it's
20:38
appropriate
20:39
to extend
20:40
this allowance
20:41
beyond the
20:42
traditionally held
20:43
vocation
20:44
so you read
20:45
some of the
20:45
old
20:46
works
20:47
and what
20:47
ancient
20:48
theologians
20:49
would have
20:49
said
20:49
and who
20:50
they would
20:50
have said
20:50
could work
20:51
on the
20:53
Lord's day
20:53
and I think
20:54
we can extend
20:54
it a bit
20:55
beyond
20:55
so many
20:57
retail
20:58
locations
20:59
that are
20:59
open
20:59
and you
21:00
may not
21:00
be able
21:01
to find
21:01
a job
21:02
that doesn't
21:02
force
21:03
your hand
21:04
doesn't make
21:04
you work
21:05
on that
21:06
day
21:06
I certainly
21:07
would advise
21:07
you to look
21:08
for one
21:08
that doesn't
21:09
try to
21:11
gain some
21:12
status in
21:12
that company
21:13
so that you
21:13
no longer
21:14
have to
21:15
but could
21:15
see the
21:16
place where
21:16
in order
21:17
to provide
21:17
for yourself
21:18
you must
21:18
take the
21:19
job
21:19
that would
21:21
do that
21:22
for you
21:22
possibility
21:24
of being
21:25
a coach
21:26
and having
21:27
to work
21:27
on the
21:27
Lord's day
21:28
to be able
21:29
to feel
21:30
the team
21:30
and you're
21:31
making your
21:31
livelihood
21:32
by this
21:33
and of course
21:33
we could
21:33
think of
21:34
other
21:34
examples
21:35
as well
21:36
where you
21:36
may just
21:37
be
21:37
forced
21:39
in order
21:39
to make
21:39
a living
21:40
for your
21:40
family
21:40
to work
21:41
on Sunday
21:43
Jesus
21:44
allows
21:44
for work
21:46
of necessity
21:47
and he
21:48
also
21:49
allows
21:50
for acts
21:51
of and
21:51
even desires
21:52
acts of
21:53
mercy
21:54
so in that
21:55
text
21:55
Matthew
21:55
chapter 12
21:56
we see
21:57
Jesus
21:58
healing a
21:58
man with
21:58
a withered
21:59
hand
21:59
which is
21:59
certainly
22:00
not a
22:00
life
22:00
threatening
22:01
thing
22:02
could have
22:02
waited
22:03
until
22:03
the following
22:04
day
22:04
but Jesus
22:05
saw the
22:06
opportunity
22:06
and sees
22:07
the opportunity
22:07
to love
22:09
and to
22:09
serve
22:10
this
22:10
man
22:11
so
22:11
we
22:12
want
22:12
to be
22:13
aware
22:13
of
22:14
and
22:14
giving
22:14
of
22:15
our
22:15
time
22:15
to
22:16
and
22:17
for
22:18
others
22:19
if you
22:20
were on
22:20
your way
22:21
to worship
22:21
us
22:22
with us
22:22
this morning
22:23
and you
22:23
saw someone
22:24
stranded
22:24
on the side
22:25
of a road
22:25
who needed
22:27
help
22:27
changing
22:27
a tire
22:28
I would
22:29
suggest
22:29
you would
22:30
do well
22:30
to stop
22:31
and to
22:31
help
22:31
them
22:32
although
22:32
changing
22:33
a tire
22:33
on the side
22:34
of the road
22:34
is
22:35
work
22:36
it's not
22:37
fun
22:37
to do
22:38
you will
22:38
probably
22:38
sweatier
22:39
and dirtier
22:40
after
22:41
having
22:41
done
22:42
so
22:42
but
22:42
this
22:42
would
22:43
be
22:43
a
22:43
merciful
22:43
thing
22:44
to do
22:44
for
22:45
such
22:45
a
22:46
person
22:46
staying
22:47
home
22:48
from
22:48
gathering
22:48
with
22:49
the
22:49
church
22:49
with
22:49
a
22:49
sick
22:49
child
22:50
is
22:50
not
22:51
restful
22:51
it
22:52
is
22:52
work
22:53
keeping
22:53
our
22:54
little
22:54
ones
22:55
feeling
22:56
well
22:56
and
22:56
comforted
22:58
it
23:00
may
23:00
not
23:01
always
23:01
be
23:01
easy
23:01
to
23:01
discern
23:02
what
23:02
is
23:02
merciful
23:03
and
23:03
what
23:03
is
23:04
not
23:04
how
23:04
it
23:04
is
23:05
we're
23:05
given
23:05
some
23:05
space
23:06
in
23:07
this
23:07
way
23:08
I was
23:09
thinking
23:09
through
23:09
because
23:09
it's
23:10
summer
23:10
taking
23:11
vacations
23:12
and how
23:14
many of
23:14
us
23:14
take
23:15
family
23:15
vacations
23:16
because
23:16
we have
23:16
a
23:16
fairly
23:17
young
23:18
population
23:19
whether
23:19
that's
23:19
going
23:20
on
23:20
vacation
23:21
with
23:21
your
23:21
father
23:22
or
23:22
maybe
23:22
you're
23:22
now
23:22
young
23:23
married
23:23
and
23:24
your
23:24
parents
23:24
are
23:24
gracious
23:25
enough
23:25
to pay
23:25
for
23:26
things
23:26
for
23:26
you
23:26
so
23:26
you
23:27
can
23:27
go
23:27
on
23:28
vacation
23:29
and
23:29
some
23:29
of
23:29
you
23:29
have
23:30
unbelieving
23:30
parents
23:30
and
23:31
these
23:31
unbelieving
23:31
parents
23:32
may
23:32
expect
23:33
you
23:33
to
23:33
be
23:34
there
23:34
with
23:35
them
23:35
because
23:36
the
23:36
condo
23:36
rental
23:37
starts
23:37
on
23:38
Sunday
23:38
and
23:39
ends
23:39
on
23:40
Saturday
23:40
maybe
23:42
maybe
23:43
it'd be
23:43
merciful
23:43
to go
23:44
maybe
23:44
it'd be
23:45
a good
23:45
thing
23:46
for people
23:46
who just
23:46
would not
23:47
understand
23:47
your
23:48
abstinence
23:48
about
23:49
traveling
23:50
and being
23:51
with them
23:51
at the
23:51
beach
23:52
on a
23:52
Sunday
23:52
to do
23:53
that
23:53
and find
23:54
a way
23:54
to redeem
23:55
some time
23:55
in the
23:56
car
23:56
I could
23:57
see
23:57
some
23:57
space
23:58
in
23:59
here
23:59
for
24:00
things
24:00
like
24:01
this
24:02
we
24:04
should
24:04
desire
24:05
to
24:06
carefully
24:06
consider
24:07
a
24:07
circumstance
24:08
that may
24:09
find us
24:10
not
24:10
resting
24:11
on the
24:12
Lord's
24:12
day
24:12
to see
24:13
if it
24:13
fits
24:13
in
24:14
these
24:14
criteria
24:15
I
24:17
think
24:18
all
24:19
of us
24:19
would
24:19
find
24:20
if we
24:20
would
24:20
do
24:20
so
24:21
we
24:21
would
24:21
all
24:21
be
24:22
a
24:22
little
24:22
bit
24:22
tighter
24:23
a
24:24
little
24:24
bit
24:25
stricter
24:25
about
24:25
our
24:26
activity
24:26
on
24:27
Sunday
24:28
I think
24:29
if we
24:29
gave
24:29
it
24:29
a
24:30
good
24:30
and
24:30
serious
24:30
consideration
24:31
we
24:32
would
24:32
do
24:32
less
24:33
not
24:35
more
24:35
in fact
24:37
I think
24:37
that is
24:37
likely
24:37
through
24:38
the
24:38
ages
24:38
legalism
24:40
has slipped
24:40
into the
24:41
church
24:41
around
24:41
this
24:41
issue
24:42
because
24:42
church
24:42
leaders
24:43
did
24:44
not
24:44
want
24:44
to
24:44
just
24:45
throw
24:45
open
24:46
the
24:46
doors
24:47
for
24:47
flippancy
24:48
when it
24:48
comes
24:49
to the
24:49
commandments
24:50
that was
24:50
the
24:51
challenge
24:51
for me
24:51
in this
24:52
week
24:52
because
24:53
there's
24:53
things
24:53
I
24:54
wish
24:54
I
24:54
just
24:54
want
24:54
to
24:54
say
24:55
oh
24:55
this
24:55
far
24:55
and
24:56
no
24:56
further
24:56
the
24:58
Bible
24:59
doesn't
24:59
really
24:59
do
25:00
that
25:00
in
25:01
great
25:01
clarity
25:02
and so
25:02
I
25:02
don't
25:03
feel
25:03
like
25:03
I
25:03
can
25:03
either
25:04
why
25:05
because
25:07
that
25:07
could
25:07
very
25:09
readily
25:09
become
25:10
legalism
25:11
this
25:11
was
25:12
the
25:12
work
25:12
that
25:12
the
25:12
Pharisees
25:13
were
25:13
doing
25:13
I
25:14
imagine
25:15
that
25:15
it
25:15
was
25:15
a
25:15
work
25:15
that
25:15
started
25:16
out
25:16
with
25:16
the
25:16
very
25:16
good
25:17
intentions
25:17
let's
25:18
help
25:18
people
25:18
keep
25:19
the
25:20
fourth
25:20
commandment
25:21
and they
25:21
began
25:22
to stack
25:22
up
25:22
the
25:23
silliest
25:23
of
25:24
expectations
25:25
to that
25:26
end
25:27
my
25:28
prayer
25:28
is
25:28
that
25:29
in
25:29
dealing
25:29
with
25:29
your
25:30
heart
25:30
on
25:30
the
25:30
matter
25:31
of
25:31
the
25:31
!
25:31
the
25:31
!
25:31
commandment
25:32
you
25:33
will
25:33
begin
25:34
to
25:34
apply
25:34
grateful
25:35
obedience
25:36
and
25:37
wisdom
25:38
to
25:39
your
25:39
weekly
25:39
routines
25:40
so that's
25:42
the first
25:42
question
25:42
that we
25:42
answered
25:43
last
25:43
week
25:43
the
25:43
second
25:43
question
25:44
was
25:44
why
25:45
should
25:45
we
25:45
keep
25:46
the
25:46
fourth
25:46
commandment
25:47
and we
25:48
took
25:48
some time
25:49
to consider
25:49
the beginning
25:49
of the
25:50
fourth
25:50
commandment
25:50
the word
25:51
the single
25:52
word
25:52
at the beginning
25:52
of the
25:52
commandment
25:53
remember
25:54
I read
25:55
for you
25:55
from the
25:56
Westminster
25:56
larger
25:56
catechism
25:57
question
25:58
121
25:59
why
26:00
is the
26:00
word
26:00
remember
26:00
set
26:01
at the
26:01
beginning
26:01
of the
26:01
fourth
26:02
commandment
26:02
and I
26:03
gave
26:03
you
26:03
the
26:03
brief
26:04
answer
26:05
they
26:06
write
26:06
partly
26:06
because
26:07
of the
26:07
great
26:08
benefit
26:08
of
26:08
remembering
26:09
it
26:09
and
26:10
partly
26:10
because
26:11
we
26:12
are
26:12
very
26:12
ready
26:13
to
26:13
forget
26:14
it
26:14
we
26:16
are
26:16
such
26:17
slow
26:17
learners
26:17
and we
26:19
are so
26:19
quick
26:20
to
26:21
forget
26:21
we
26:23
are
26:23
to
26:23
remember
26:24
to
26:24
keep
26:24
the
26:25
fourth
26:25
commandment
26:26
to
26:27
remember
26:27
this
26:28
is a
26:28
day
26:29
set
26:29
apart
26:29
for the
26:30
worship
26:30
of God
26:30
to be
26:31
gathered
26:31
together
26:32
with the
26:32
church
26:32
to learn
26:33
and to be
26:33
reminded
26:34
that we
26:35
have
26:36
rest
26:36
in
26:37
Christ
26:37
this is a
26:39
day to
26:39
take time
26:40
for quiet
26:41
reflection
26:42
on the
26:43
promises
26:43
of God
26:44
to remember
26:46
for all of the
26:47
failings
26:47
of last week
26:49
that if we are
26:50
in Christ
26:51
we belong
26:52
to God
26:53
to look
26:55
to the next
26:55
week
26:56
to the power
26:58
that is
26:59
ours
26:59
in
27:00
Christ
27:00
beloved
27:02
we have
27:02
rest
27:02
so we
27:03
can
27:03
rest
27:04
the wicked
27:06
cannot
27:06
rest
27:07
Isaiah
27:08
57
27:09
20
27:09
but the
27:10
wicked
27:10
are like
27:11
the
27:11
tossing
27:11
sea
27:12
for it
27:12
cannot
27:12
be
27:13
quiet
27:14
and its
27:15
waters
27:15
toss
27:16
up
27:16
mire
27:17
and dirt
27:19
what an
27:20
opportunity
27:21
to be a
27:21
people set
27:22
apart
27:22
right
27:23
to be
27:23
the busiest
27:24
people in
27:25
the world
27:26
six days
27:27
a week
27:28
but on
27:29
a seventh
27:30
to rest
27:32
this is not
27:34
us
27:34
these wicked
27:35
Jesus says
27:36
in Matthew
27:36
11
27:37
verse 28
27:37
come to me
27:38
all who
27:39
labor
27:40
and are
27:40
heavy laden
27:41
and I
27:41
will give
27:42
you
27:42
rest
27:44
so
27:47
the third
27:48
question
27:49
how
27:51
shall we
27:51
keep the
27:51
fourth
27:51
commandment
27:52
how
27:54
shall we
27:54
keep
27:55
the
27:55
fourth
27:55
commandment
27:56
and to
27:57
look a little
27:57
further at
27:58
keeping the
27:58
fourth
27:58
commandment
27:59
turn with
28:00
me to
28:00
Deuteronomy
28:00
chapter
28:01
eight
28:22
Deuteronomy
28:31
is the
28:32
second
28:33
giving
28:34
of
28:34
the
28:34
law
28:35
Moses
28:35
is
28:35
preaching
28:36
essentially
28:37
here
28:38
a
28:39
sermon
28:39
or a
28:40
series
28:40
of
28:40
sermons
28:41
reminding
28:42
the people
28:42
of Israel
28:43
because
28:43
they've
28:43
sojourned
28:44
now for
28:44
40 years
28:45
in the
28:45
wilderness
28:45
and there's
28:47
a new
28:47
generation
28:48
that is
28:49
now going
28:50
to enter
28:50
the
28:51
promised
28:51
land
28:51
so he's
28:52
restating
28:53
he's
28:53
re-giving
28:54
the law
28:55
and we
28:55
can pick
28:56
up a lot
28:56
of wonderful
28:57
clarities
28:57
in his
28:59
now
29:00
understanding
29:01
of the
29:02
keeping
29:02
of it
29:03
I want
29:05
to show
29:06
you
29:06
from
29:07
Deuteronomy
29:08
eight
29:08
four
29:09
inner
29:10
disciplines
29:10
that must
29:13
take place
29:14
for any
29:16
outer
29:16
disciplines
29:17
to be of
29:17
any benefit
29:18
to us
29:19
on the
29:20
Lord's
29:20
day
29:20
God
29:22
is
29:22
always
29:23
concerned
29:23
about
29:24
the
29:24
status
29:25
of
29:25
our
29:25
hearts
29:26
and
29:26
right
29:26
actions
29:27
always
29:28
flow
29:28
from
29:29
right
29:29
hearts
29:30
we must
29:32
be careful
29:33
in our
29:33
keeping
29:33
of the
29:34
law
29:34
that we
29:35
do
29:35
not
29:35
do
29:36
as
29:36
the
29:36
Pharisees
29:37
did
29:37
and
29:38
many
29:38
in our
29:40
day
29:40
do
29:40
Jesus
29:42
is
29:42
always
29:42
correcting
29:43
this
29:43
kind
29:43
of
29:44
self
29:44
righteousness
29:46
Jesus
29:46
said
29:46
in
29:46
Matthew
29:47
23
29:47
verse
29:47
27
29:48
woe
29:48
to
29:48
you
29:49
scribes
29:49
and
29:49
Pharisees
29:50
hypocrites
29:51
for you
29:52
are like
29:52
whitewashed
29:53
tombs
29:53
which
29:53
outwardly
29:54
appear
29:55
beautiful
29:56
but within
29:57
are full
29:58
of dead
29:58
people's
29:59
bones
29:59
and all
30:00
uncleanliness
30:02
and so
30:03
there are
30:03
disciplines
30:04
that must
30:05
be at
30:05
place
30:05
in us
30:06
for the
30:07
outward
30:07
expressing
30:08
of keeping
30:09
the Lord's
30:09
day
30:09
to have
30:10
any meaning
30:10
at all
30:11
number
30:12
one
30:13
remembering
30:14
and believing
30:16
that keeping
30:17
the fourth
30:17
commandment
30:18
is an
30:19
act
30:20
of
30:20
obedience
30:21
Deuteronomy
30:23
chapter 8
30:23
verse 11
30:25
Moses says
30:27
take care
30:28
lest you
30:30
forget the
30:30
Lord your
30:31
God
30:31
by not
30:33
keeping
30:33
his
30:34
commandments
30:34
and his
30:36
rules
30:36
and his
30:36
statutes
30:37
which I
30:38
command you
30:39
today
30:40
as I
30:42
stated at
30:42
length
30:42
previously
30:43
we have
30:44
a loving
30:45
God
30:45
who
30:45
intends
30:46
good
30:46
for us
30:47
so
30:48
whether we
30:48
understand
30:48
entirely
30:49
the good
30:50
intended
30:50
we should
30:51
remember
30:52
and believe
30:53
that God's
30:54
commands
30:54
our good
30:55
and
30:56
in keeping
30:57
God's
30:58
commandments
30:58
we will be
31:00
shown
31:00
his goodness
31:02
remembering
31:03
and believing
31:05
that keeping
31:06
the fourth
31:06
commandment
31:07
is an
31:08
act
31:09
of obedience
31:10
it has been
31:11
commanded of us
31:12
let's
31:13
just do
31:14
it
31:15
secondly
31:16
a second
31:18
inner
31:18
discipline
31:18
remembering
31:20
and believing
31:21
that keeping
31:23
the fourth
31:24
commandment
31:24
is an
31:25
act
31:26
of
31:26
liberation
31:27
it's an
31:28
act of
31:28
liberation
31:29
Deuteronomy
31:30
chapter 8
31:31
verse 14
31:33
there's a
31:35
warning here
31:36
then your
31:36
heart be
31:37
lifted up
31:38
this is
31:38
after the
31:39
building of
31:39
houses and
31:40
having
31:40
multiplying
31:41
wealth
31:42
and you
31:44
forget the
31:45
Lord your
31:45
God who
31:46
brought you
31:46
out of the
31:47
land of
31:48
Egypt
31:48
out of the
31:49
house
31:50
of slavery
31:51
Deuteronomy
31:54
! 5
31:54
verse 15
31:55
very careful
31:57
giving of
31:58
the ten
31:59
commandments
31:59
the moral
32:00
law
32:00
you shall
32:01
remember that
32:01
when you
32:02
were a
32:02
slave in
32:02
the land
32:02
of Egypt
32:03
and the
32:03
Lord your
32:04
God
32:04
brought you
32:04
out from
32:05
there with
32:05
a mighty
32:06
hand and
32:06
an outstretched
32:07
arm
32:07
therefore
32:08
the Lord
32:09
your God
32:09
commanded you
32:10
to keep
32:11
the Sabbath
32:11
day
32:12
it's meant
32:12
to serve
32:13
us
32:14
Israel
32:15
then
32:15
and us
32:16
now
32:17
in remembering
32:18
that we
32:19
have been
32:20
liberated
32:21
the entire
32:22
Exodus story
32:23
is meant to
32:24
prefigure
32:25
the liberation
32:27
that we
32:27
now have
32:28
in Christ
32:29
we have
32:32
spiritual
32:33
rest
32:34
the author
32:36
of Hebrews
32:36
wrote in
32:37
Hebrews 4
32:37
9 and
32:38
10
32:39
so then
32:39
there remains
32:39
a Sabbath
32:40
rest
32:40
for the
32:41
people
32:42
of God
32:42
for whoever
32:44
has entered
32:44
God's rest
32:45
has also
32:46
rested from
32:46
his works
32:47
as God
32:48
did
32:49
from his
32:50
we need
32:52
time
32:52
for reflection
32:54
on this
32:55
most
32:55
important
32:56
truth
32:57
just as the
32:58
Israelites
32:58
were liberated
32:59
from slavery
32:59
in Egypt
33:00
we have
33:01
been liberated
33:01
from the
33:02
condemnation
33:03
of the
33:03
law
33:04
have been
33:05
brought to
33:05
God
33:06
for joyful
33:07
obedience
33:08
to the
33:09
law
33:09
so
33:11
we can
33:12
rest
33:13
because we
33:13
have been
33:13
set free
33:14
from our
33:14
spiritual
33:15
labor
33:15
and remembering
33:17
and believing
33:18
that keeping
33:19
the fourth
33:19
commandment
33:20
in that way
33:21
is an act
33:22
of liberation
33:24
third
33:26
inner
33:27
discipline
33:27
remembering
33:29
and believing
33:30
that keeping
33:31
the fourth
33:32
commandment
33:33
is an
33:34
act of
33:34
faith
33:35
look at
33:37
verse 17
33:38
Deuteronomy
33:38
8 and
33:40
through the
33:40
first part
33:40
of verse
33:40
18
33:41
beware
33:43
lest you
33:44
say in
33:44
your heart
33:45
my power
33:46
and the
33:47
might of
33:47
my hand
33:48
have gotten
33:48
me
33:49
this wealth
33:50
you shall
33:52
remember the
33:52
Lord your
33:53
God
33:53
for it is
33:53
he who
33:54
gives you
33:55
power
33:55
to get
33:56
wealth
33:57
God is
33:58
our
33:59
great
33:59
provider
34:01
so we
34:01
can trust
34:02
that he
34:03
will provide
34:04
having ordered
34:05
a day of
34:05
rest we
34:06
can know
34:06
that he
34:06
will amply
34:07
provide all
34:08
that we
34:08
need in
34:09
our six
34:10
days
34:12
of working
34:13
to stop
34:15
on a day
34:15
to not
34:16
continue to
34:16
labor because
34:17
without that
34:18
labor how
34:18
will I
34:19
possibly
34:19
have
34:20
sin
34:22
but rather
34:23
to take a
34:24
day where
34:24
we say
34:25
God is my
34:26
provider
34:26
and to
34:27
reflect upon
34:28
this
34:28
to see
34:30
that it's
34:30
his good
34:31
order
34:31
he has
34:32
said work
34:32
six days
34:33
and stop
34:35
on the
34:35
seventh
34:36
I am
34:38
the creator
34:39
and the
34:40
sustainer
34:40
of everyone
34:41
and everything
34:43
Matthew chapter
34:46
six
34:47
verse 25
34:48
and following
34:48
Jesus says
34:49
therefore I
34:49
tell you
34:50
do not be
34:51
anxious about
34:52
your life
34:52
labor and
34:54
toil
34:55
seven days
34:56
what you
34:57
will eat
34:57
or what
34:57
you will
34:58
drink
34:58
nor
34:58
about
34:58
your
34:58
body
34:59
what
34:59
you
34:59
will
34:59
put
34:59
on
35:00
is that
35:01
life
35:01
more than
35:01
food
35:02
and the
35:02
body
35:02
more than
35:03
clothing
35:03
look at
35:05
the birds
35:06
of the air
35:07
they neither
35:07
sow nor reap
35:08
nor gather
35:09
into barns
35:09
and yet your
35:10
heavenly father
35:11
feeds
35:11
them
35:12
are you not
35:13
of more value
35:14
than they
35:15
which of you
35:17
by being anxious
35:17
can add a
35:18
single hour
35:19
to a span
35:19
of life
35:20
why are you
35:22
anxious about
35:22
clothing
35:23
consider
35:23
the lilies
35:25
of the field
35:25
how they
35:26
grow
35:27
they neither
35:27
toil nor
35:28
spin
35:28
yet I
35:28
tell you
35:29
even
35:29
Solomon
35:29
in all
35:30
his glory
35:30
was not
35:30
arrayed
35:31
like one
35:32
of these
35:33
but if
35:34
God so
35:34
clothes the
35:34
grass
35:35
of the
35:35
field
35:35
which
35:35
today
35:35
is
35:36
alive
35:36
and
35:36
tomorrow
35:36
is
35:36
thrown
35:37
into
35:37
the
35:37
oven
35:38
will
35:38
he
35:38
not
35:39
much
35:39
more
35:39
clothe
35:40
you
35:40
oh
35:41
you
35:42
of
35:43
little
35:43
faith
35:43
therefore
35:45
do not
35:45
be
35:45
anxious
35:46
saying
35:46
what
35:46
shall
35:46
we
35:47
eat
35:47
or
35:47
what
35:47
shall
35:47
we
35:47
drink
35:48
or
35:48
what
35:50
seek
35:51
after
35:51
these
35:51
things
35:51
and
35:52
your
35:52
heavenly
35:52
father
35:52
knows
35:53
that
35:53
you
35:53
need
35:53
them
35:53
all
35:54
but
35:55
seek
35:55
first
35:55
the
35:56
kingdom
35:56
of
35:56
God
35:56
and
35:57
his
35:57
righteousness
35:58
and
35:59
all
35:59
these
35:59
things
35:59
will
36:00
be
36:00
added
36:00
to
36:00
you
36:00
therefore
36:01
do
36:02
not
36:02
be
36:02
anxious
36:02
about
36:03
tomorrow
36:04
for
36:05
tomorrow
36:06
will be
36:06
anxious
36:06
for
36:06
itself
36:07
sufficient
36:08
for
36:08
the
36:08
day
36:09

36:10
its
36:10
own
36:10
trouble
36:11
so
36:12
we
36:13
can
36:13
rest
36:14
because
36:15
we
36:15
know
36:16
who
36:16
is
36:17
our
36:18
provider
36:19
so
36:21

36:21
and
36:21
believing
36:22
keeping
36:23
the
36:23
fourth
36:24
commandment
36:24
is
36:25

faith
36:28

36:34
that keeping

36:35
is an
36:36

it's
36:39
an

36:40
now
36:41

36:41
is a

36:43
five
36:43
times
36:43

36:55

36:55
already

36:56
its

Lord
37:06
your

God
37:08
beloved
37:10
we are
37:10
no longer
37:11
those
37:11
who need
37:12
to
37:12
tirelessly
37:13
work
37:14
to
37:15
find
37:15
our
37:16
identity
37:16
our
37:17
purpose
37:18
or our
37:19
place
37:19
in
37:19
the

world
37:20
we
37:21
do
37:21
not
37:21
need
37:22
to
37:22
be
37:22
defined
37:22
by
37:23
the
37:23
work
37:23
that
37:23
we
37:24
do
37:24
because
37:25
we
37:27
are
37:27
defined
37:28
by
37:28
the
37:28
work
37:28
that
37:29
Jesus
37:29
has
37:30
done
37:31
we
37:32
belong
37:32
to
37:33
God
37:33
because
37:33
we
37:33
have
37:33
been
37:34
redeemed
37:34
by
37:34
the
37:34
blood
37:35
of
37:35
Jesus
37:35
Christ
37:36
I
37:36
am
37:37
a
37:37
child
37:37
of
37:38
God
37:38
that
37:39
is
37:39
my
37:40
identity
37:40
and
37:41
then
37:42
I
37:42
go
37:42
do
37:43
some
37:43
work
37:43
there
37:44
is
37:44
some
37:44
work
37:45
to
37:45
be
37:45
done
37:45
in
37:45
obedience
37:46
to
37:46
that
37:46
my
37:47
identity
37:47
is
37:48
in
37:49
him
37:49
and
37:50
we
37:50
spend
37:50
so
37:51
much
37:51
time
37:52
we
37:52
spend
37:53
so
37:53
much
37:54
of
37:54
our
37:54
energy
37:55
identifying
37:56
by
37:56
things
37:57
that
37:57
are
37:57
fading
37:58
away
37:59
so
38:01
we
38:01
can
38:01
rest
38:02
because
38:02
we
38:02
know
38:03
who
38:04
we
38:04
are
38:05
or
38:06
more
38:06
precisely
38:06
whose
38:07
we
38:08
are
38:09
so
38:10
remembering
38:10
and believing
38:11
that keeping
38:12
the fourth
38:13
commandment
38:13
is important
38:14
as an
38:14
act
38:15
of
38:15
identity
38:16
it
38:16
declares
38:16
who
38:17
you
38:18
are
38:19
and
38:19
these
38:19
are
38:19
interdisciplines
38:20
these
38:20
are things
38:21
that we
38:21
have
38:21
to
38:21
work
38:22
at
38:22
right
38:23
leading
38:24
up to
38:24
and
38:25
during
38:25
a
38:26
day
38:27
such
38:28
as
38:28
this
38:28
and
38:30
if
38:30
we
38:30
will
38:30
exercise
38:30
these
38:31
things
38:31
properly
38:32
then
38:33
and
38:34
only
38:34
then
38:34
will
38:36
the
38:36
outer
38:37
disciplines
38:37
mean
38:38
much
38:38
of
38:38
anything
38:39
at
38:39
all
38:40
so
38:40
let
38:41
me
38:41
give
38:41
you
38:41
three
38:41
three
38:42
outer
38:43
disciplines
38:44
number
38:47
one
38:48
outer
38:48
discipline
38:49
preparing
38:51
preparing
38:53
if
38:55
we
38:55
are
38:55
to
38:55
keep
38:55
the
38:56
fourth
38:56
commandment
38:57
together
38:57
on
38:58
the
38:58
Lord's
38:58
day
38:58
then
38:59
you
39:00
will
39:00
need
39:00
to
39:00
prepare
39:01
to
39:01
do
39:01
so
39:02
on
39:03
your
39:03

39:03

39:04
morning
39:05

39:09
the

Lord's
39:09
day
39:09
ought
39:10
to
39:10
be
39:10
so
39:10
remembered
39:11
beforehand
39:11
as
39:14
that
39:14
all
39:14
worldly
39:14
business
39:15
of our
39:15
ordinary
39:16
callings
39:16
may
39:17
be
39:17
so
39:17
ordered
39:17
and
39:18
so
39:18
timely
39:19
and
39:19
seasonably
39:20
laid
39:20
aside
39:21
as
39:22
they
39:22
may
39:22
not
39:22
be
39:23
impediments
39:23
to
39:24
the
39:24
due
39:24
!
39:26
when
39:27
it
39:27
comes
39:27
beloved
39:29
we
39:29
ought
39:29
to
39:29
be
39:29
looking
39:30
forward
39:30
to
39:31
this
39:31
day
39:32
we
39:33
on
39:33
Monday
39:34
ought
39:35
to
39:35
be
39:35
eagerly
39:36
expecting
39:36
the
39:37
next
39:38
day
39:38
when
39:39
we
39:39
get
39:39
to
39:40
stop
39:40
from
39:40
our
39:41
labors
39:41
when
39:42
we
39:42
get
39:42
to
39:42
set
39:42
it
39:42
aside
39:43
we
39:44
should
39:44
be
39:44
considering
39:45
this
39:46
the
39:46
Westminster
39:47
assembly
39:47
directory
39:47
says
39:48
it ought
39:48
to
39:49
be
39:49
so
39:49
remembered
39:50
Sunday
39:52
should
39:52
not
39:52
rush
39:53
upon
39:53
us
39:53
and
39:54
we
39:54
find
39:55
ourselves
39:55
in
39:55
the
39:55
midst
39:56
of
39:56
it
39:56
in
39:56
a
39:57
fray
39:57
I
39:59
do
40:00
this
40:00
often
40:01
considering
40:02
the
40:03
fourth
40:03
commandment
40:03
has
40:03
given
40:04
me
40:04
much
40:05
room
40:06
for
40:06
repentance
40:07
and
40:07
consideration
40:08
about
40:09
how
40:09
I
40:09
even
40:09
could
40:10
find
40:10
more
40:10
rest
40:11
in
40:11
a
40:12
day
40:12
such
40:13
as
40:13
this
40:14
in
40:16
Exodus
40:16
chapter
40:17
20
40:17
verse
40:18
9
40:19
and
40:19
10
40:19
you
40:19
see
40:19
six
40:20
days
40:20
you
40:20
labor
40:20
and
40:20
do
40:20
all
40:21
your
40:21
work
40:21
but
40:21
the
40:21
seventh
40:21
day
40:22
is
40:22
a
40:22
Sabbath
40:22
to
40:22
the
40:23
Lord
40:23
your
40:23
God
40:23
and
40:23
then
40:24
God
40:24
gets
40:24
fairly
40:25
specific
40:25
here
40:25
and
40:26
gives
40:26
order
40:27
to
40:27
a
40:27
household
40:28
on
40:28
it
40:29
you
40:29
shall
40:29
not
40:29
do
40:29
any
40:29
work
40:30
you
40:30
are

your

female
40:33

40:34
or your

40:34
or the
40:35
sojourner
40:36
who is
40:36
within
40:37
your
40:37
gates
40:38
no
40:38
one
40:39
should
40:40
be
40:40
laboring
40:41
on
40:41
this
40:42
day
40:43
and
40:43
it
40:43
would
40:43
seem
40:43
that
40:43
much
40:44
of
40:44
keeping
40:44
the
40:44
fourth
40:44
commandment
40:45
is
40:46
meant
40:46
to
40:46
be
40:46
ordered
40:47
in
40:47
the
40:48
home
40:48
where
40:49
so much
40:49
of
40:50
this
40:50
type
40:50
of
40:51
work
40:52
takes
40:53
place
40:53
so
40:56
we
40:57
should
40:57
be
40:58
preparing
40:58
we
40:59
should
41:00
be
41:00
preparing
41:01
by
41:01
doing
41:01
these
41:01
interdisciplines
41:02
that I've
41:03
mentioned
41:03
already
41:04
and
41:05
these
41:05
will
41:05
require
41:06
some
41:07
time
41:08
on
41:08
your
41:09
part
41:09
beloved
41:11
get up
41:11
early
41:12
on
41:12
the
41:13
Lord's
41:13
day
41:13
don't
41:15
let
41:15
Sunday
41:16
be a
41:16
day
41:16
for
41:16
sleeping
41:17
in
41:17
this
41:19
this
41:19
was
41:19
a
41:20
day
41:20
that
41:22
the
41:22
women
41:22
went
41:22
to
41:23
the
41:23
tomb
41:23
at
41:24
day
41:24
break
41:25
and
41:25
found
41:26
our
41:26
Lord
41:26
and
41:27
Savior
41:27
Jesus
41:27
Christ
41:28
risen
41:29
wake
41:30
up
41:31
and
41:32
spend
41:32
some
41:32
time
41:32
on
41:33
those
41:33
interdisciplines
41:34
why
41:34
is this
41:35
day
41:35
set
41:35
apart
41:36
as
41:36
a
41:36
day
41:36
of
41:36
rest
41:37
for
41:37
me
41:37
what
41:38
should
41:38
I
41:38
be
41:38
considering
41:39
and
41:40
reflecting
41:40
upon
41:41
some
41:42
of
41:42
you
41:42
I
41:42
can
41:43
tell
41:43
woke
41:43
up
41:43
15
41:44
minutes
41:44
before
41:44
you
41:45
stepped
41:45
into
41:45
this
41:45
building
41:46
at
41:46
1030
41:47
you've
41:49
got
41:49
ample
41:50
time
41:51
in the
41:51
morning
41:51
to
41:52
prepare
41:53
yourself
41:53
to
41:54
come
41:54
together
41:55
when
41:56
I
41:56
say
41:56
early
41:57
I
41:57
don't
41:57
mean
41:57
the
41:58
4
41:58
a.m.
41:58
I
41:58
typically
41:59
wake
41:59
up
41:59
on
42:00
Sunday
42:00
mornings
42:00

8
42:01
a.m.
42:02
get
42:03
up
42:03
and
42:03
get
42:04
ready
42:04
right
42:05
this
42:06
is a
42:06
glorious
42:07
day
42:08
prepare
42:09
your
42:09
heart
42:10
that
42:11
we
42:11
might
42:11
come
42:11
together
42:12
rightly
42:12
and
42:12
that
42:13
you
42:13
might
42:13
spend
42:13
the
42:13
rest
42:14
of
42:14
your
42:14
day
42:15
in
42:15
restful
42:16
rejoicing
42:17
complete
42:19
your

work
42:19
for
42:19
the
42:19
week
42:20
set
42:21
aside
42:21
this
42:22
is
42:22
a
42:22
day
42:22
I
42:22
will
42:23
not
42:23
labor
42:23
make
42:24
the
42:24
time
42:25
the
42:25
truth
42:25
of
42:26
it
42:26
is
42:26
that
42:26
many
42:26
of
42:27
us
42:27
labor
42:28
a lot
42:29
of
42:29
time
42:29
but
42:30
we
42:30
don't
42:30
labor
42:30
very
42:31
efficiently
42:31
and
42:32
you
42:32
could
42:33
find
42:33
you
42:33
could
42:33
get

you're
42:40

bibliography
42:45
on
42:46
the

its

42:54
can

do
42:54
the
42:55
shopping

the
43:26
regular

work

that
43:27
you're
43:27
doing

a
43:29
joyful

time

lay
43:32
out
43:32
clothes
43:33
the
43:33
night
43:33
before
43:33
if
43:35
you
43:35
have
43:35
children
43:35
you
43:36
know
43:36
what
43:36
I'm
43:36
talking
43:36
about
43:37
you
43:37
can
43:37
never
43:38
find
43:38
their
43:38
shoes
43:39
when
43:39
you're
43:39
trying
43:39
to
43:39
get
43:40
out
43:40
the
43:40
door
43:40
lay
43:42
them
43:42
out
43:42
be
43:43
ready
43:43
prepare
43:44
yourself
43:45
this
43:45
is
43:46
a
43:46
glorious
43:46
day
43:48
get
43:49
ready
43:49
for
43:50
it
43:50
it's
43:50
astounding
43:51
how often
43:52
people can
43:52
get out
43:53
the door
43:53
and get
43:53
off
43:53
to
43:54
things
43:54
that
43:54
they
43:55
deem
43:55
!
43:56
fun
43:56
how
43:57
difficult
43:57
it can
43:57
be
43:57
to
43:58
come
43:58
to
43:58
things
43:58
that
44:00
they
44:00
may
44:00
not
44:00
and
44:00
that
44:01
says
44:01
a lot
44:01
about
44:01
our
44:02
hearts
44:03
young
44:05
people
44:05
particularly
44:06
don't
44:07
stay
44:08
up
44:08
too
44:08
late
44:09
on
44:09
Saturday
44:10
prepare
44:12
yourself
44:13
get
44:13
ready
44:14
to
44:15
wake
44:15
up
44:15
!
44:16
I
44:16
I
44:17
think
44:17
I
44:17
think
44:17
we
44:17
should
44:17
likely
44:17
stumble
44:18
into
44:18
Sunday
44:19
it's
44:19
probably
44:19
okay
44:20
that
44:20
we're
44:20
a bit
44:21
tired
44:21
on
44:21
Sunday
44:22
mornings
44:22
because
44:23
it's
44:23
a day
44:24
of rest
44:24
we
44:26
entered
44:26
into
44:26
it
44:26
as
44:26
humans
44:27
needing
44:27
rest
44:28
and so
44:29
it's
44:29
likely
44:30
that
44:30
we'll
44:30
feel
44:31
that
44:31
as we
44:32
come
44:32
into
44:32
Sunday
44:32
but
44:32
some
44:33
of
44:33
you
44:33
are
44:33
just
44:34
doing
44:34
it
44:34
to
44:34
yourselves
44:35
!
44:35
do
44:36
not
44:36
feel
44:36
bad
44:37
for
44:37
you
44:37
when
44:37
you
44:37
!
44:38
stay
44:37
up
44:38
!
44:38
unreasonable
44:38
hours
44:39
doing
44:39
nothing
44:39
of
44:40
any
44:40
value
44:40
go
44:42
to
44:42
sleep
44:43
that
44:44
you
44:44
might
44:44
wake
44:44
up
44:44
some
44:46
sense
44:46
of
44:46
restedness
44:47
so
44:48
that
44:48
we
44:48
can
44:49
rest
44:49
well
44:50
together
44:51
and
44:53
a
44:53
thought
44:54
I'm
44:55
just
44:55
going
44:55
to
44:55
put
44:55
this
44:55
out
44:56
there
44:56
as
44:56
a
44:56
thought
44:56
if
44:58
we
44:58
think
44:58
it
44:58
is
44:58
important
44:59
for
44:59
us
44:59
to
44:59
gather
44:59
on
44:59
the
44:59
Lord's
45:00
day
45:00
we
45:02
shouldn't
45:02
support
45:02
an
45:03
economic
45:03
system
45:03
that
45:04
requires
45:05
others
45:05
to
45:05
work
45:06
a
45:08
lot
45:08
of
45:08
you
45:08
are
45:09
going
45:09
to
45:09
go
45:09
eat
45:10
out
45:10
after
45:10
this
45:10
and
45:12
that
45:12
server
45:13
may
45:14
or
45:14
may
45:15
not
45:15
want
45:15
to
45:15
be
45:15
with
45:16
us
45:16
but
45:17
wouldn't
45:18
it
45:18
be
45:18
nice
45:18
to
45:18
be
45:18
able
45:19
to
45:19
invite
45:19
them
45:19
that
45:21
we
45:21
have
45:21
created
45:22
and
45:22
we
45:22
are
45:22
supporting
45:23
a
45:23
system
45:24
where
45:24
we
45:24
eat
45:24
out
45:24
we
45:25
do
45:25
grocery
45:25
shopping
45:26
we
45:26
buy
45:26
fuel
45:26
for
45:27
our
45:27
cars
45:27
we
45:29
participate
45:29
in
45:30
the
45:30
consumption
45:30
of
45:31
media
45:32
Sunday
45:33
football
45:34
be a
45:35
college
45:35
football
45:35
fan
45:36
don't
45:36
be
45:36
an
45:36
NFL
45:37
fan
45:37
just
45:37
don't
45:39
be
45:39
it's
45:39
not
45:39
nearly
45:40
as
45:40
good
45:40
anyway
45:40
they're
45:43
all too
45:43
afraid
45:44
of
45:44
ruining
45:44
their
45:44
careers
45:45
college
45:45
guys
45:45
don't
45:45
care
45:46
it's
45:46
such
45:46
better
45:46
football
45:47
and
45:49
I
45:49
just
45:49
told
45:49
you
45:49
everything
45:49
I
45:50
know
45:50
about
45:50
football
45:50
consider
45:55
how
45:56
you
45:56
can
45:56
leverage
45:57
your
45:57
dollars
45:58
to
46:00
make
46:00
a
46:00
change
46:01
and
46:02
maybe
46:02
if
46:02
all
46:03
of
46:03
God's
46:03
people
46:04
would
46:04
work
46:04
to
46:04
that
46:05
end
46:05
you
46:06
might
46:06
see
46:06
a
46:06
change
46:07
actually
46:08
happen
46:08
so
46:08
something
46:09
to
46:09
consider
46:09
I
46:10
think
46:10
I
46:10
think
46:11
about
46:11
making
46:11
a
46:12
law
46:12
about
46:12
it
46:12
we
46:12
ought
46:13
to
46:13
prepare
46:13
ourselves
46:13
in a
46:13
way
46:14
that
46:14
doesn't
46:14
require
46:14
others
46:15
to
46:16
work
46:17
so
46:17
prepare
46:18
so
46:19
that
46:19
you
46:19
can
46:19
rest
46:21
second
46:23
outer

discipline
46:24
worshiping
46:26
worshiping
46:28
this
46:29
day
46:29
is a
46:30
feasting
46:31
day
46:31
it's
46:31
a
46:31
rejoicing
46:32
day
46:33
and we
46:33
should
46:33
worship
46:34
together
46:34
corporately
46:36
so we
46:36
should
46:37
gather
46:37
with
46:38
the
46:39
church
46:39
unless
46:41
a
46:41
matter
46:42
of

necessity
46:42
or
46:43
mercy
46:44

46:45
you
46:45
I
46:46
don't
46:46

laziness
46:49
there's
46:50

46:50
too
46:50

you

a

aside
48:15
right
48:16
must
48:17
you
48:17
work
48:17
on
48:18
this
48:18
day
48:18
must
48:19
you
48:19
burn
48:20
yourself
48:20
in
48:20
that
48:21
way
48:21
why
48:22
can
48:22
you
48:22
not
48:22
come
48:23
and
48:23
join
48:24
us
48:24
come
48:25
and
48:25
fellowship
48:25
with
48:25
us
48:26
it's
48:26
good
48:27
God
48:27
is
48:27
good
48:28
and
48:28
he
48:28
intends
48:28
good
48:29
for
48:29
us
48:29
in
48:29
this
48:30
way
48:30
also
48:32
worship
48:32
privately
48:33
throughout
48:33
the
48:34
day
48:34
consider
48:34
the
48:35
things
48:35
of
48:35
God
48:35
and
48:36
do
48:36
not
48:36
do
48:37
things
48:37
that
48:37
distract
48:38
you
48:38
distract
48:39
you
48:40
from
48:40
being
48:40
able
48:41
to
48:42
consider
48:42
the
48:43
things
48:43
of
48:43
God
48:43
I
48:45
would
48:45
venture
48:45
to
48:45
say
48:46
not
48:46
many
48:46
of
48:47
us
48:47
are
48:47
watching
48:48
much
48:48
that's
48:49
offered
48:49
on
48:49
television
48:50
these
48:52
God
48:52
to
48:52
us
48:53
in
48:53
Christ
48:54
they
48:54
probably
48:54
don't
48:55
tend
48:55
to
48:55
move
48:56
our
48:57
minds
48:57
in
48:57
that
48:58
direction
48:58
but
48:58
rather
48:58
away
48:59
from
49:00
that
49:00
so
49:01
do
49:01
things
49:01
that
49:01
are
49:01
uplifting
49:02
to
49:03
you
49:04
that
49:04
help
49:04
you
49:04
to
49:05
consider
49:06
God's
49:06
goodness
49:07
third
49:08
hour
49:09
discipline
49:09
balancing
49:12
balancing
49:13
hear me
49:13
out
49:14
there
49:16
ought to
49:16
be
49:17
coming
49:17
off
49:17
this
49:17
idea
49:18
of
49:18
private
49:18
worship
49:19
active
49:20
contemplation
49:22
make
49:23
plans
49:23
for
49:24
reading
49:24
for
49:25
taking
49:25
some
49:26
time
49:26
to
49:26
teach
49:26
your
49:27
children
49:27
to
49:28
talk
49:29
about
49:29
to
49:30
consider
49:30
the
49:31
things
49:32
of
49:32
God
49:33
but
49:33
you
49:33
don't
49:34
need
49:34
to
49:34
spend
49:34
all
49:34
day
49:35
doing
49:35
that
49:36
we
49:38
also
49:38
should
49:38
have
49:39
some
49:39
active
49:41
avocation
49:42
!
49:43
right?
49:43
Not
49:44
work
49:44
but maybe
49:45
hobbies
49:45
some
49:45
things
49:46
that we
49:46
really
49:46
enjoy
49:47
doing
49:48
so
49:48
maybe
49:49
there's
49:50
that
49:50
little
49:50
bit
49:50
of
49:50
flower
49:51
bed
49:51
out
49:52
front
49:52
of
49:52
your
49:52
house
49:53
that
49:53
you
49:53
really
49:54
enjoy
49:54
sprucing
49:55
up
49:56
if
49:56
you
49:57
don't
49:57
enjoy
49:57
it
49:57
if
49:58
it's
49:58
a
49:58
have
49:58
to
49:58
thing
49:59
don't
49:59
do
49:59
it
50:00
if
50:00
it's
50:00
a
50:00
get
50:01
to
50:01
thing
50:01
you
50:01
actually
50:02
like
50:02
getting
50:02
on
50:03
your
50:03
knees
50:03
and
50:03
pulling
50:03
the
50:03
weeds
50:04
out
50:04
of
50:04
the
50:04
flower
50:04
bed
50:05
that's
50:05
okay
50:05
right
50:06
if
50:07
it's
50:07
refreshing
50:08
to
50:08
you
50:08
to
50:09
be
50:09
able
50:09
to
50:09
do
50:09
such
50:10
a
50:10
thing
50:10
right
50:11
some
50:11
of
50:11
you
50:11
have
50:12
hobbies
50:12
like
50:12
that
50:13
that
50:13
builds
50:13
you
50:13
up
50:13
you
50:14
feel
50:14
all
50:14
energized
50:14
after
50:15
you
50:15
get
50:15
to
50:15
spend
50:16
some
50:16
time
50:16
tinkering
50:17
in
50:18
the
50:18
garage
50:19
this
50:19
is
50:19
okay
50:20
I
50:21
would
50:21
suggest
50:22
right
50:22
hobby
50:23
types
50:23
of
50:23
things
50:23
right
50:24
some
50:24
of
50:24

50:24
like
50:25
to
50:25
bake
50:26
maybe
50:27
bake
50:27
something
50:27
and
50:28
then
50:28
leave
50:29
the
50:29
dishes
50:29
till
50:30
Monday
50:30

50:31
don't

anybody
50:32
enjoys
50:32
doing
50:32
dishes
50:32
play

can
50:44
be
50:44
refreshing

51:09
rest
51:09
take
51:11
a
51:11
nap
51:11
sit
51:13
and
51:13
do
51:13
nothing
51:14
you'll
51:16
be
51:16
shocked
51:17
how
51:17
good
51:17
that
51:17
can
51:18
be
51:18
for
51:19
your
51:19
mind
51:19
and
51:20
your
51:20
soul
51:20
to
51:20
just
51:21
stop
51:22
and
51:23
think
51:23
and
51:24
relax
51:25
right
51:26
sip
51:28
tea
51:28
on the
51:28
front
51:28
porch
51:29
sit
51:32
and read
51:32
pick up
51:34
a good
51:34
book
51:35
and I have
51:36
to make
51:36
distinctions
51:36
between
51:37
books that
51:37
are work
51:38
books and
51:38
books that
51:38
are not
51:39
for me
51:39
that I
51:40
can
51:40
just
51:40
sit
51:40
and
51:41
really
51:41
enjoy
51:42
a
51:42
book
51:42
and
51:42
I'm
51:42
not
51:42
thinking
51:43
about
51:43
how
51:43
I'm
51:43
going to
51:43
turn
51:44
around
51:44
and teach
51:44
that
51:44
to
51:44
somebody
51:44
else
51:45
go to
51:47
bed
51:47
early
51:48
prep
51:49
yourself
51:50
and get
51:50
ready
51:51
and go
51:51
to bed
51:52
get the
51:52
kids
51:52
in bed
51:53
and go
51:54
to bed
51:54
get some
51:55
good
51:56
rest
51:57
because
51:58
beloved
51:58
a lot
51:58
of us
51:59
run like
51:59
we're
51:59
divine
52:00
and none
52:00
of us
52:00
are
52:00
we're
52:02
all
52:02
human
52:03
and we
52:03
need
52:03
our
52:04
rest
52:05
in
52:06
conclusion
52:07
it is
52:08
for joyful
52:09
obedience
52:09
that we
52:10
are to
52:10
keep
52:10
the
52:11
fourth
52:11
commandment
52:12
I hope
52:13
that you
52:13
will
52:13
join me
52:14
in working
52:14
through the
52:15
particulars
52:16
of the
52:16
commandment
52:16
for your
52:17
life
52:17
the season
52:18
you find
52:18
yourself in
52:19
your unique
52:20
responsibilities
52:21
and pressures
52:21
and that you
52:23
will join me
52:23
in keeping
52:24
the commandment
52:25
for your
52:26
good
52:26
and for the
52:27
glory of
52:28
God
52:28
let's pray
52:29
together
