• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that in just a moment, but first
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I'd like to say welcome to you and ask you
• 1:09

  Speaker 2: is one of the ways that we continue to build
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: we will get underway. Father, we thank you, Thank you
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: for giving us grace, thank you for loving us, thank
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you for giving us power to do your will. Help
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: us never to take this for granted. Jesus. In Jesus' name,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I pray Amen and amen again. Yes, yes, yes, God's
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: grace for all. We've been talking about his grace for
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the last few days now, and so what we're going
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: to do is is, look at here's what the lesson
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: writer gave us four for a quote from the book
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Patriarch not Patriarchs and Prophets, Prophets and King's page three
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty nine, and it reads, no distinction on
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: account of nationality, race, or cast is recognized by God.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Don't you wish that that was the reality today? Have
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: you been watching the news lately? Have you been watching
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the news lately? Maybe you don't even need to watch
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the news. Maybe in your society this issue of race
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and caste and nationality, et cetera has become so loaded
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and so virulent, almost like a disease, that people can't
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: see one another as people. Again, we're literally humans of
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: one blood. The Bible teaches us we are made of
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: one blood, and we're saved by the blood of Jesus Christ.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And somehow we have allowed where we were born, where
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: our family comes from, the language or dialects that we speak,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the color of our hair, eyes, skin, et cetera, to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: set each other at odds. But God doesn't recognize any
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: of that. He is the maker of all mankind. I'm
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: cont continuing to quote all men are of one family
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: by creation, and all are one through redemption, one blood.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Some of y'all think I'm a singer song, I'm not
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: gonna do it, but it's true. One blood, one blood,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: one blood. And so Christ came to demolish every wall
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of partition during Paul's time. Didn't he talk about that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: in detail? Yes, broken, that He's broken that middle wall
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of partition. In fact, in Isaiah's time, Isaiah spoke of
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: what it meant to be in covenant with God, that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: if we would just keep covenant with Him and keep
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the Sabbath, we wouldn't see ourselves as strangers. We wouldn't
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: see ourselves as broken or torn, or as a a
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: dry tree. Those are ceremonial terms. At the time. We
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: will not see ourselves as separated from God, because if
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: we keep covenant with God, he will give us a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: name that is better. It's greater than of sons and
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: of daughters. It's a name that will remain forever. Why
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: because God's house is a house of prayer for all people.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: So if you come from among people, like human beings,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: then it's a house of prayer for you. It's a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: house of prayer for you. Christ came to demolish every
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: wall of partition, to throw open every compartment of the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: temple courts that every person, every soul, may be free
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: to access God. His love is so broad, his love
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: is so deep, so full, that it penetrates everywhere. It
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: lifts out of Satan's influence those who have been deluded
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: by his deceptions, and places them within reach of the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: throne of God, thrown and circled by the rainbow promise
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: in Christ. There is neither in this case. That was
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the context Jew or Greek. But that means all of
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: what I said in the beginning. There was neither bond
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: nor free. That's amazing grace. God has always seen us
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: as one people. Even though He scattered the people at
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the Tower of Babel, he scattered the people and gave
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: them new languages all over the world. Now they're scattered,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: they're scattered. His word also went all over the world.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: They were scattered, they were scattered, and God unified them
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: in one voice, one holy ghost language at the time
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: of the Day of Pentecost, in the first century of
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the Church of God. Then they were called Christians. Finally, yes,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: And the Bible teaches us that the Gospel of Jesus
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Christ broke all of that down. How is it that
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: we hear all of these words, these words of God
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: in our own languages. They were Parthians and Meads and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: people of Mesopotamia, and people from all over the world
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and their own languages.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And so God is asking us today, like, are you
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: accepting of my grace? So let's get a few lessons
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: from our context. Though. The Bible teaches us in let's
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: see First Corinthians, chapter fifteen and verse thirty three. Do
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: not be deceived. Be not deceived. Evil communication corrupts good
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: manners or morals. So the Bible shows us that God
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: is a god of multiple chances. Rahab and Peter and
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the people of God all received them by extending grace.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean that we should enable harm. Okay.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: So God's grace calls for repentance and transformation. He empowers
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: us to be transformed, not endless cycles of sin and abuse.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: We're not looking for God to just continue. We fall down,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: get up, fall down, get up, fall down, get up.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: He is able to keep us from falling in twenty
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: twenty five and to present us faultless. Jesus is before
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the presence with exceeding joy, and so in cases like
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: an abusive relationship, wisdom and protection are also part of grace.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Extending forgiveness is biblical, but enabling harm is not. Grace
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: must be joined with justice, even as Joshua blended both
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: with the Gibea knights, as we see in Joshua Chapter
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: nine in the twenty first verse straight through a verse
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: twenty seven. See, we have time. We have time, So
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: let's go back to Hebrews eleven and thirty one. We
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: read it already the other day, but let's go again.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: By faith. The Harlot. Rahab perish not with them that
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: did not believe. This is the This is an unexpected
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: reality for some people. Rahab's story reminds us that faith
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: can sprout in an unexpected type of soil. Her lifestyle
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: was far from God's ideal, like God never intended for
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: anyone to live in Harla tree hmm. Yet God valued
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: her faith. Why because he gave her that faith. Really
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: it was an answer in court. Like God gave her
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: that faith and he valued it. We can celebrate someone's
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: openness to God without affirming every part of their past.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Rahab's faith was real, but God still led her toward transformation.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: So he found her in the way she was, but
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: he didn't leave her that way. You understand what I'm saying.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: So when God finds you, come as you are. People
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: say that all the time, but oftentimes people say that
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: as an excuse to remain as we are. But God said,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: come as we are. So Rahab's faith was real, but
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: God's still led her toward transformation. This balance helps us
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: see seekers of God as God sees them, not for
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: what they have been, but for what He through the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost, will make them. What He will make them
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: and so we'll learn really quickly from Rahab. Her mustard
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: seed sized faith shows that God is more interested in
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: our direction than our innate perfection. Ah, He's more interested
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: in our direction than our own human perfection. Let God
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: perfect you by faith. Make it 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.
