  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's

  Speaker 2: new morning. Father, Thank you for giving us your word
• 1:40

  Speaker 2: your will. Father, Please give us new understanding today, help
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: us to know you better and not just be very
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: intelligent about what happened in the Old Testament, but to
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: literally live live according to your principles today in Jesus' name, Amen,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: and a man again, let me just jump in here
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: with two feet and ask you probably one of the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: more pivotal questions that you'll ever hear in your life. Now.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Have I given you way a high expectation of what
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I'm about to say, But it's a real question. How
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: much does it cost? How much does it cost you? No,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: maybe I should say it this way. How much does
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: it cost when you don't do what God says? I'm
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: asking myself the same question, when you don't live according
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to the design that God had in mind from before
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: there was a beginning, before He formed you in your
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: mother's womb, How much does it cost when you live contrary?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: When we live contrary to the design of God for
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: our lives, Like when I lie or cheat, God forbid
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: or steal or murder, or if I'm full of pride
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: or I'm backbiting, or did I mention full of pride again?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Or anything else that displeases God? What does that cost?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: How much does that cost? People are concerned about tariffs.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: People are concerned about inflation. People are concerned about the
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: markets and their decline, the recessions that are hitting us
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: all around the world. People are concerned about those costs,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: those material costs, and they're important. But the most critical
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and most pivotal question about cost and Christ and p
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and ls and all of that is how much does
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: it cost when I displease God? And the Bible actually
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: teaches us drum roll please? The Life of Christ all caps, underscore,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: folded print, italicized and little outline on the outside and
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: bright red colors. The Life of Christ who never sinned? Now.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: The lesson writer says Christ's death was cruel, It was harsh,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: and it seems unfair because he was innocent, but he
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: died for the guilty like he died The death that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: we deserve, so that we can live the life that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: He deserves. Can you imagine that's what it took to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: solve the sin problem. And now we're going to go
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: get some lessons here from the Bible, book of Hebrews
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: chapter ten. Okay, Hebrews chapter ten. Let's begin with verse
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: ten and the Bible reads. The Bible reads, by his will,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: we have been made wholly through the offering of the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: body of Jesus Christ, once for all, once for all.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: This reveals the reality that Christ's sacrifice provides a real
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and complete forgiveness and cleansing that no ritual can not,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: even in the Old Testament system of sacrifice is it
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: was something that God said that they needed to do,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: but it was really a faith walk. It was the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: kindergarten view of the reality of the plan of salvation.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And so Christ's sacrifice provides a real and complete forgiveness.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I need you to hear those terms like carefully selected,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: like this is part of the messaging that we get today,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: real and complete forgiveness and cleansing. This comes through Christ.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: The Bible reads in Hebrews chapter ten and verse four,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: for the blood of bulls and goats, cannot take away sins.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Cannot take away sins even though God said do it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Your praying is not the power. That's a connection with God.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: God is the power. Ah, Your faith is not the
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: power God. Having faith in God is so the power God,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: and the faith connects us with the power. You understand,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So move beyond ritualistic forms of worship. Your singing is
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: not the way to really connect with God. It's a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: function of relationship, yes, but God is the power. Ritualistic
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: forms of worship to a deeper personal relationship with God
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: is where we move to understanding that genuine connection comes
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: from a heart aligned with Christ, and of course the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: sacrifice that he gave. What does it cost to turn
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: away from God? The life of Christ? That is so unfair.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Why do we get to receive the blessing and benefit
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that Jesus deserves when it was our sin that got
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: him up on that cross, Our sin that God is
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: beard pulled out of his face, Our sin that God
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: him stabbed in the side where water and blood then flowed.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Our sin that made him cry out to his father,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Why have you forsaken me? Why have you forsaken me?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I haven't done anything. It was our sins, our sins.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Were you there when they crucified my Lord? That's not
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: just a song, it's a real question. Yeah. From verse
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: fourteen of Hebrews chapter ten, the Bible reads, for by
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: one offering, he has perfected for all time those who
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: are made holy. For by one offering, that's Jesus, he
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: has perfected for all time. Those who are made holy.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Embrace daily the victory that Jesus has given us, and daily,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: like I'm talking about, thank you God for making me holy.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Thank you God for putting me in a position that
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I can now turn away from my sin. I can
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: turn away from that crack pipe, I can turn away
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: from putting that God forbid that weed in the palm
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: of my hands and then putting it into some paper
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and starting to smoke it. Like you can deliver me.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: You have given me victory over all of these besetting sins.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: You can do it. And I am so thankful that
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: you gave me the victory through the cross, through that
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: empty tomb, empowering me to overcome every single daily challenge.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: When the month is longer than the money, and I'm
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: tempted to do evil in order to get more money,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: when people are saying wicked things on social media, and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I'm tempted to retaliate. You can give me victory over
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: all of that, Thank you God. But let's cultivate, cultivate
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: obedience and submission. Let's not go too far without talking
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: about this. From Hebrews, chapter ten and verse seven, then
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I said, lo, I come the volume of the book,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: as it is written of me, to do Thy will,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Oh God, this is what Jesus did. And now if
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: you are one of Jesus's children, if you are one
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: of God's children, you are aligning yourselves with God's will.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Then that means that he is not just the one
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: who gave his life for us, and I'm not minimizing that.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: But now he's our example, not just the savior, but
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: also our example because when we are born again, we
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: have now the seed of the life of Christ in us,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: so that we can actually submit our will to God,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: so we can actually be obedient to God. So Christ's
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: example of obedience to God, the father's will, knowing that
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: true freedom and fulfillment stem from submission to divine guidance,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: is really the pathway to our spiritual success. Make it
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: a great day, peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
