[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, what a beautiful day to be in the house of the Lord it always is, but it's especially a beautiful day to be in the house of the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all turn.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Genesis chapter three, Genesis chapter three, verse 17 through 24.
[SPEAKER_00]: And once you find Genesis chapter three for 17 to 24, see some bar to beat me to the speak of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is chapter three verse 17 through 24.
[SPEAKER_00]: Once you find that, if you can please stand, the honor of the reading of his word.
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know where to start on this.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was starting in verse 17.
[SPEAKER_00]: It says, and to Adam, he, he being God, he said, because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree about which I command you saying, you shall not eat of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hurst is the ground on account of you, and hard labor, you will eat of it all the days of your life.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Orns and Thistles, it will bring forth for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you will eat the plants of the field by the sweat of your face or browse them, say, by the sweat of your face, you will eat bread until
[SPEAKER_00]: out of it you were taken for you are dust and to dust you will turn.
[SPEAKER_00]: You will return.
[SPEAKER_00]: The man called his wife's name Eve because she was the mother of all the living.
[SPEAKER_00]: Verse 21, the Lord made garments of skins for both Adam and his wife and closed them.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Lord God said, this man,
[SPEAKER_00]: has become like one of us, knowing good and evil.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he might reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat.
[SPEAKER_00]: And live forever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, the Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.
[SPEAKER_00]: He drove the man out.
[SPEAKER_00]: at the east of the Garden of Eden.
[SPEAKER_00]: He placed the cherubim that's an angel, and the flaming sword which turned in every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.
[SPEAKER_00]: God bless and honor the ring of His word, and you may be seated.
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you ever sacrificed anything?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure you have.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone has a little.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some haven't, and they should.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I ask, have you ever sacrificed anything?
[SPEAKER_00]: I know parents have parents sacrifice because they love their kids and they want their kids to do well.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_00]: They save money to send them to college.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why you would now, but some do parents sacrifice so the kids can eat and live well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Many students do good students sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_00]: They sacrifice time of entertainment and other things so they take a pass and do well.
[SPEAKER_00]: I say good students, not all students.
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't always, because I wasn't necessarily a good student.
[SPEAKER_00]: I cared more about the stupid things than the good things.
[SPEAKER_00]: A good student knows what sacrifice is.
[SPEAKER_00]: A person who's a weightlifter, sacrifice is much time, gives up comfort.
[SPEAKER_00]: goes in pain to put on muscle, because they care more about winning if they want to go to the Olympics or anything else, and they want to become something better than what they are.
[SPEAKER_00]: A person who wants to lose weight, but weight washer, you could say, they know they have sacrificed much, much of that momentary joy can become something better.
[SPEAKER_00]: A someone who wants to do better in their career, they know how to sacrifice to become something better in their job or in other things.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you sacrifice in love.
[SPEAKER_00]: You sacrifice because you love someone.
[SPEAKER_00]: You give up something because you want them to do better.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've known many who've done that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some don't because they love themselves more.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not sacrificed, they selfish.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so much more I could talk about people who sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know almost everyone sacrifices, but God asked for sacrifices in the Old Testament a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the very first sacrifice is for God.
[SPEAKER_00]: He sacrificed the skins.
[SPEAKER_00]: We see it.
[SPEAKER_00]: How do you do that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he killed the animals.
[SPEAKER_00]: He killed the animals.
[SPEAKER_00]: He had them killed to be a sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw that just now in Genesis chapter three.
[SPEAKER_00]: The animals were killed and he had their skins.
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, they're wool or whatever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Put on Adam and Eve.
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a symbol of all the sacrifices to come.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a symbol of what Jesus was going to do for us.
[SPEAKER_00]: You do not notice that He said, us, us is talking about the Trinity.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there are a lot of ignorant people, and they are ignorant.
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, there's no such thing as a Trinity.
[SPEAKER_00]: You just don't know any better.
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But in reality, he talks about us, so it's more than one.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Lord God, not them.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's more than one God.
[SPEAKER_00]: It just means that God is three and one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Either way, Jesus,
[SPEAKER_00]: is the sacrifice rest, which we'll talk about.
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is a symbol of Jesus being the Lamb for us.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know that it was a lamb for six, it doesn't say so in Genesis.
[SPEAKER_00]: I assume it was, but that's the synonymsumption.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get through that in a moment.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we see also in Genesis chapter four, which we're not going to go to, can enable gave sacrifices in there to give their very best.
[SPEAKER_00]: but they didn't always.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the title today certainly is all on the altar.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to give our all on the altar.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what we're supposed to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's first take a look at what a sacrifice is.
[SPEAKER_00]: The word sacrifice means giving up something valuable, time, money, or possessions, for the sake of something more important and more worthy than you.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what, you know, Webster says, and he's right, and they go on to say other things, I'm not gonna repeat all that because I'm not gonna talk about deities and all that nonsense, that's the ways of the world.
[SPEAKER_00]: But what's look what the Bible says?
[SPEAKER_00]: What is the Bible sacrifice?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you can write this down if you want.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Bible when they talk about sacrifices is the act of offering something valuable, often and most of time, a slaughtered animal.
[SPEAKER_00]: to God, to express worship and gratitude, or to gain atonement for sin.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's usually what it was.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you send, you'd give up this animal, usually, because it was very valuable, see.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was for atonement for sin.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a substitution, see, a substitution where the offering bears the penalty of the sinner.
[SPEAKER_00]: for this sinner.
[SPEAKER_00]: So to restore their relationship with God, in this case, which we'll see pain and able, they were supposed to give offering to make up for the fact that they were imperfect.
[SPEAKER_00]: As we all are.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you've heard of this phrase a scapegoat.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was something that's talked about in a video of chapter 16.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was a sacrifice giving the day of the moment which is John Pappur.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're not gonna talk about that today.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we are gonna go into the Old Testament sacrifices.
[SPEAKER_00]: They had a lot of Old Testament sacrifices and why.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did they give them?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there's too many to talk about them all.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're gonna talk about the five main sacrifices.
[SPEAKER_00]: The five main sacrifices in the Old Testament.
[SPEAKER_00]: These were laws and these were things that God gave and it's very easy to recall because it's in Leviticus, you know, the law, Leviticus is for the device that he preached in all.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was in the first five chapters, Leviticus.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right, chapter one, you hear about the first offering, the first sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_00]: And chapter two, you hear about the second, chapter three,
[SPEAKER_00]: Shock upon shock, the fifth character you're going to have about the fifth offering, the fifth sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go through that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Mr. Booker Leviticus and let's take a look at the very first one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the first one is a voluntary sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't have to do it, but if you want to post one, let's ship with God, you should.
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually the first three are voluntary.
[SPEAKER_00]: The last two are mandatory.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the first one is a burnt offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure you've heard of that.
[SPEAKER_00]: A burnt offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: This was for a tommet is for a tommet to a P's wrath.
[SPEAKER_00]: To remove sin, to reconcile with God.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they would give this burnt offering because you're trying to make an atonement atonement is what it says to make peace, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you've made someone mad before and you try to go make peace with them, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: You're trying to atone something like, hey, I'm sorry, I called you dumb.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry, I called you ugly.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry that people, you ever done that where you make a quote on a quote joke?
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you really mean it, maybe you don't, maybe you're just joking, but the person's not feeling that good that day,
[SPEAKER_00]: She tried to go and make a tome within you know what I shouldn't have done.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was wrong here.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're making peace in a comment.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what this was they're making a peace and Tome because they're now supposed to go and reconcile with God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it mandatory?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, but if you want a good relationship you go back to that person say, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a jerk.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a jerk.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, maybe you have Facebook, maybe you don't, but maybe you're online and you see a lot of jerks.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can say you're into that event.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of jerks online.
[SPEAKER_00]: Only the good jerks go back with the tome.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've met a lot of jerks.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've met a few who have a tome.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's one guy I'm friend with.
[SPEAKER_00]: He says I'm the very hateful to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know what he did?
[SPEAKER_00]: He came back to me private and they said, I'm sorry, he was.
[SPEAKER_00]: He came to my home and brought me some chiefs goods, things about the chiefs.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a good person.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't mean good in the fact that he's saved because he's so nice because none of them are saved by that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But not very many people are that way.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's trying to make an atonement, you see.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the first one is burnt offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an atonement to appease wrath, removes sin, reconcile with God.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's found a chapter one.
[SPEAKER_00]: It also talks about it in chapter six a little bit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Chapter eight and chapter 16.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned in that too, you
[SPEAKER_00]: number two, also voluntary, a grain offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, this is probably the most, this is the most holy it says.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no probably about it, and it says the most holy.
[SPEAKER_00]: It says that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the most holy, it's also known as a meal offering, bringing a meal, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: This symbolizes gratitude being thankful.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now what it would be is they have wheat flour, they bring wheat flour, and they bring olive oil and frankincense.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, you remember how when every Jesus born and the wise men, one of them brought frankincense and it represented deity, the deity men holiness?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, frankincense and the olive oil, that represented the Holy Spirit, believe it or not.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it represented.
[SPEAKER_00]: The olive oil in frankincense symbolized the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_00]: So what they would do is they'd have 11 cakes, 11 is like yeast, so to speak.
[SPEAKER_00]: And 11 was always representation of sin.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they would not have that leaven there because a little lump of leaven runs the loaf.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a saying that was in the Bible.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you would take away the leaven if you completely flatbread.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like flatbread.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's heavy.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's nice.
[SPEAKER_00]: But anyway, so you have the leaven, a no leaven, no leaven at all, the guy would even tell to sweep out the leaven of the house because it's symbolic, remove sin from the house, remove it, get it out of there.
[SPEAKER_00]: So there would be flat bread and they'd on there you'd have olive oil, they'd made out of wheat, by the way, now olive oil and frankincense represent the Holy Spirit and this was this was a great it could either be cakes or waferes if what they call it and that's found in chapter two and in chapter six.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you have third piece the first third offering was known as piece offering a piece offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've heard a piece of offerings, and if you've watched the old Cowboys and Indian movies, remember how they, yeah, I brought you a piece of offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there's piece offerings in the Bible first.
[SPEAKER_00]: Piece offering is also known, believe it or not, as a fellowship offering or a Thanksgiving offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it's called.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fellowship or Thanksgiving offering is the voluntary as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's in chapter three or chapter seven.
[SPEAKER_00]: It symbolizes peace and harmony, the fellowship between God,
[SPEAKER_00]: the priest and the worshiper.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now they have another word for worshiper here, which is interesting.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll let you say that it was really kind of funny.
[SPEAKER_00]: The computer kept trying to tell me how to miss spelling this, but I wasn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was taking the worshiper's also known as the offerber.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was as hard to say, it's an offerber.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, good luck.
[SPEAKER_00]: He sounded like crazy, but that's what they do.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the worst prayer of the offer, it's supposed to be between them, God, and the priest.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, here's what it says.
[SPEAKER_00]: It involved offering an animal from their herd and their flock.
[SPEAKER_00]: No one else is a force.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's simple without, you know, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this,
[SPEAKER_00]: Part of the herd had to be without blemish.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those spotted all, you know, you talked about that, we'll talk about that more in a moment.
[SPEAKER_00]: No defect, no blemish.
[SPEAKER_00]: The fat was burned for God, and part of it was given to the priest, and the rest was eaten by the offerer, the worshipper.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was a set of a Tory meal.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the next two are mandatory.
[SPEAKER_00]: You had to do this in the rule in their law.
[SPEAKER_00]: Had to be done.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a sin offering, now once you understand this,
[SPEAKER_00]: I want you to understand what's being said here.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is mandatory.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now listen what this one is.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's sin offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number four is sin offering, mandatory.
[SPEAKER_00]: A non-sweet saver, nothing on it, non-sweet saver, check or fives in the mosaic law design is for what?
[SPEAKER_00]: For a toement or it's either for a toement for something you've done wrong or unintentional sins or ceremonial impurity like something you've done wrong and ceremonies.
[SPEAKER_00]: or serious unintentional transgressions.
[SPEAKER_00]: For instance, if you accidentally killed someone's heifer or their sheep or whatever, you needed to give a sin offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: accents happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you have, this is what it says.
[SPEAKER_00]: It says, it served as purification offering to cleanse the sanctuary and the worshiper of the defilement of sin, often using animal sacrifices.
[SPEAKER_00]: And what sacrifices do they use?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let me just tell you, of course, lambs.
[SPEAKER_00]: It also used bulls and goats, if that's what they had.
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's another kind that we'd talk about too.
[SPEAKER_00]: And sometimes if what they had was only a pigeon or a dove, they would use dubs.
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, I've mentioned this many times before, because they talk about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Many times before, if you ever hear the song on the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me and it gets to the two two turtle dubs, that's what they would give.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what
[SPEAKER_00]: Mary and Joseph gave two turtle loves.
[SPEAKER_00]: They gave two turtle loves, one for each person, two turtle loves because that was their offering, until the Lord, not because they were of sin, but because that was their offering to God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Whenever Jesus was circumcised, that's what they gave.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just letting you know that was an offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they were doing that as a ceremony.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we have number, that's found a chapter four.
[SPEAKER_00]: They also mentioned it five, we'll see why in a moment.
[SPEAKER_00]: And also,
[SPEAKER_00]: also chapter 6 8 and 16.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sin is everywhere.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's mentioned because everybody has sin for all have sin if I'll show them where God from a street 23.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mandatory offering number five.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, by the way, let me go back to sin for a minute.
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the words that they use a lot for
[SPEAKER_00]: The serious unintentional sentence is transgression.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you've heard that word transgression.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not to be mixed up in confused with this other word we're going to use.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number five, trespass offering, trespasses.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you've heard that a lot, my trespasses, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: What is trespass me, trespass offering?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's also on guilt's offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you ever felt guilty, oh, we're all guilty.
[SPEAKER_00]: We all feel guilty sometimes, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: is that God can use it.
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the bad things that have a conscience is you feel guilty about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not about a big conscience.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is you feel guilty about everything?
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, sometimes I have felt guilty about being born.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I have felt guilty about
[SPEAKER_00]: And now here's a joke.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just like, you know, I feel guilty about being this handsome.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I feel guilty about everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: I, there's times I woke him up and you feel, there's no reason to feel guilty sometimes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Satan uses it against you.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no reason for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why feel, there's times I have felt so guilty.
[SPEAKER_00]: How guilty do you feel?
[SPEAKER_00]: So guilty.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, but sometimes feel so guilty that I, I, I, I, I, I start crying for what reason don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: depression, trauma, and other things.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no reason for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're true to guilty, go to God.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what this is about.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Satan can use it against you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't let that be the case.
[SPEAKER_00]: God loves you even though you argue with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: God loves you when you're not.
[SPEAKER_00]: God loves you all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, so they had trespass guilt offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is mandatory.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is for unintentional sin that cause damage to God's holy things.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or to your neighbor's things, and he required an unblemished ram.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, we're not talking about your vehicle, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're not talking about a goat.
[SPEAKER_00]: This ram was a male mature sheep, a mature male sheep.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the ram.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can remember this because earlier in Genesis, what did Abraham do when he was told to kill and sacrifice his son Isaac.
[SPEAKER_00]: pre incarnate Christ, the angel of the Lord, looked out, looked out, and said, whoa, wait a minute, and he pointed out, and what was there?
[SPEAKER_00]: A mature male sheep around, and he gave that, that's symbolic.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why is that symbolic?
[SPEAKER_00]: What we're gonna get in that just a minute, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is found, by the way, if you wanna know about giving the trespass guilt sin offering, that is in chapter five and six and seven.
[SPEAKER_00]: These sins,
[SPEAKER_00]: Sin offering trespasses.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're, they are together the same, but they're not always the same.
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, you know that, so you don't get refuse when you're reading that trespasses or sins.
[SPEAKER_00]: They are the same, but they're not always the same.
[SPEAKER_00]: Press passes are not because you did it intentionally.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sin usually is.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: When this would happen, it would say that these were
[SPEAKER_00]: What does that mean that it smelled good?
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess.
[SPEAKER_00]: But here's the thing about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't mean that the smell of a dead car that smelled good to God.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not what I meant.
[SPEAKER_00]: It meant that the attitude was from the heart.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what smelled good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you go back and came and able chapter four of Genesis, it would say that one gave and God loved it.
[SPEAKER_00]: The other did.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had a car made for me for being so blunt.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's ignorant ministers who I've seen said, but that's because one gave animals and the other gave grain.
[SPEAKER_00]: No stupid, God told him to give grain.
[SPEAKER_00]: God told him to give the best of what he got, but he had a bad attitude.
[SPEAKER_00]: God warned him that, oh, Satan's crouching at the door, big boy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he didn't listen to God.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the attitude.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you give,
[SPEAKER_00]: give a sacrifice to God.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're doing it begrudgingly, there's a, I'll give it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to give.
[SPEAKER_00]: God doesn't want that.
[SPEAKER_00]: He does want you to give because I'm most.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you don't want to.
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants you to give your best.
[SPEAKER_00]: For instance, if a mother father tells my three sons, okay, if you have three sons and two of them do the tour, but they're like, fine, I'll clean and they barely try and they're doing because they have to, but they don't want to.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not going to appreciate it, but if a son goes out there and does it because he wants to make his mom that happy, they're going to appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So not because they have, you know, favorite kids.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're doing it because they appreciate the attitude and the love of the heart.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what God does for us.
[SPEAKER_00]: He loves you.
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants you to love him back and to show it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Gratitude from the heart.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're supposed to tie it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why does God ask for ties?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's supposed to be 10% of what you earn.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anything extra is offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen people sometimes will give oil.
[SPEAKER_00]: I made $3,000 this month.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I gave $3 in the of offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, really?
[SPEAKER_00]: So after you gave your tithe, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, folks, that's not offering.
[SPEAKER_00]: What you did do was squander and Rob Dot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm not getting on anybody.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want you to think that.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're supposed to give 10% what you earn.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a tie.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's like your sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_00]: God appreciate you, because it comes from the heart.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm gonna be honest with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's times that I begrudgingly gave her, oh, I don't want to, but I did.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then when I started doing, I love giving, I love giving to God.
[SPEAKER_00]: He gives to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I should give back from the heart.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so Matthew 9, 13, before I go to the next part, Matthew 9, 13, Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees and Jesus says this, Matthew 9, 13, but go and learn what this means.
[SPEAKER_00]: I desire mercy and not sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_00]: For I have not come to call all righteous, but sinners to repentance.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now why is it important that I read that to you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because the Jewish, that is to say those who are all about the faith and felt that they were more important than anyone else because of their skin because of their tribe and by that I'm talking about the fact that they were born that way.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was all about their actions.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: The actions were important in the sense that it's supposed to show your faith in God.
[SPEAKER_00]: It does it make your salvation, but they thought that they were saving themselves by the things they did.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they became very arrogant about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Jesus is telling them, He was speaking to the Pharisees here.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was trying to tell them that it wasn't, he was there for the sinners.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they weren't going to be repented by their sacrifices.
[SPEAKER_00]: He desired mercy.
[SPEAKER_00]: He wanted love, compassion.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was about the heart, not about what they did.
[SPEAKER_00]: because what you do shows what you're doing in the heart.
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, if you really love someone, you're going to do something good for them.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen many minutes that I love my wife, but I want to go be with this other woman.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you don't love her.
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll love yourself more.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're trying to tell me I didn't love my wife when I cheated on her.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm going to tell you
[SPEAKER_00]: You love yourself more than you did.
[SPEAKER_00]: You say, and I don't love God because I'm not giving him and not serving him and not loving him and if you go to church, and I'm like, you don't love him as much as you love yourself.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm trying to say, you're your own God more than you're God's little or God.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm trying to say.
[SPEAKER_00]: You need to turn the yaw way, give to him.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, when the Old Testament did all these things, it became habits, it became tradition, it became tradition.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then a new sacrifice came.
[SPEAKER_00]: To replace these sacrifices, you know, just a few weeks ago, we spoke of this, we did.
[SPEAKER_00]: We spoke of this, when we spoke about a couple of weeks ago, we spoke about the 613 laws.
[SPEAKER_00]: 613 laws.
[SPEAKER_00]: We mentioned there are moral laws, the Tinkham Ammonst.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're still good.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're still moral, still correct.
[SPEAKER_00]: We spoke about the laws of the land.
[SPEAKER_00]: The civil laws, they're still good.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then there was the middle law, the ceremonial laws, the ceremonial laws.
[SPEAKER_00]: So what is that?
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the religious laws, the religious laws.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what we call now Judaism, the Jewish faith laws.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're no good anymore, why?
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus came to fulfill them.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's these actions here, these laws we just read, these sacrifices, why?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because Jesus came, he was the new sacrifice and the new testament.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was the ultimate sacrifice for all, and I got to stand up because I'm getting all excited.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was the ultimate sacrifice for all.
[SPEAKER_00]: The sacrifice to complete the sacrifices.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was the ultimate.
[SPEAKER_00]: He changed everything and all things for the whole eternity, for the universe.
[SPEAKER_00]: He did it all.
[SPEAKER_00]: He changed all things.
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you mean he changed all things well?
[SPEAKER_00]: He changed the sacrifices.
[SPEAKER_00]: He changed the calendar.
[SPEAKER_00]: He changed the temple curtain.
[SPEAKER_00]: What do I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean the day that he died that curtain in the middle, that curtain in the middle, that four-inch thick curtain.
[SPEAKER_00]: right down the middle for the top to the bottom of the bottom to the top.
[SPEAKER_00]: He ripped it down.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because he is the curtain.
[SPEAKER_00]: The curtain's what separates people from them to the Lord God.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is now the curtain.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the one that's open up fresh so that you can now get to the Lord God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Without Jesus Christ, you cannot get to Jesus.
[SPEAKER_00]: Our excuse to the Lord God.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is God.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't get to him.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the one who separated the separation from you to the Lord God.
[SPEAKER_00]: He changed everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: He changed day and night when he died on the cross with just that short time.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was right in the middle of the day, dark, dark, dark.
[SPEAKER_00]: He changed your life if you let him.
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll change your eternity.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he'll change your attorney and eternal destiny if you let him.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you let him, but if you won't, don't blame him, don't blame the sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a son of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's Jesus, the Messiah, which means the Christ, the Christ means the Messiah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the meaning of that is the annoying did one.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what Christ means.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what Messiah means.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jewish were waiting all this time for the Messiah and then he came and they killed them.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't accept him because he wasn't the Messiah they wanted.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's so many people are still that way.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just still, no, he's come one day, they'll know.
[SPEAKER_00]: They might be too late for me, give them.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just pray and hope that someone right now does look for savior, look for a savior for salvation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who right now believes, well, someday I'm gonna get saved.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, no, not some.
[SPEAKER_00]: They do it now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Go into Jesus now.
[SPEAKER_00]: You may not have another day.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't know what's gonna, but my plan is to go next week, pastor.
[SPEAKER_00]: I keep saying I'm gonna come next day.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna come sometime next week.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna come forward.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some day I'm gonna come.
[SPEAKER_00]: You may not have next week.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who are you to say?
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you God?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't know what's going to happen, but God does.
[SPEAKER_00]: Quit putting off to tomorrow and he's been done today.
[SPEAKER_00]: Get your life right with God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Pastor, but you don't understand him.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not perfect.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're never going to be perfect.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the perfect one has been sacrificed for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: So get up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Get up and get to Jesus.
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen what it says about the Inointed One, Jesus Christ.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just so you know, there are a whole lot of sacrifices, and a whole lot of things that happened.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I was talking about those laws.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those laws, ceremonial laws, they were wiped away.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, a little bit of his chapter 11, you know, I talked about all those.
[SPEAKER_00]: The little chapter 11 has a whole bunch of laws.
[SPEAKER_00]: Whole bunch, things you couldn't eat, things you're still not gonna want to eat.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of them, one of them was you couldn't eat pork.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do not have any people come to me and say, you're not supposed to be eating bacon.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I says, get behind the line, son.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm eating bacon bits tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not kidding, now listen.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't want pork, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: But ask for me at my house, we're gonna eat some dead swine and it's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because why?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because Jesus died on the cross
[SPEAKER_00]: Not because it's the best for you, not because Medit Medit Medit, I like it, but because the truth is, I don't have to worry about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to hell because working pig was on my dinner plate last night.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I am going to heaven because Jesus, I'm not going to hell and I'm going to heaven because Jesus Christ died for me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's other things you couldn't have, but no longer matters.
[SPEAKER_00]: You couldn't eat shellfish, you couldn't eat shellfish.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure of many of you eating shellfish.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of you hate shellfish, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't be selfish about shellfish.
[SPEAKER_00]: The fact is, you, that has nothing to do with it anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: Another thing you could eat and I, old women, I'm not talking back to you, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: But you're not supposed to eat buzzards.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not supposed to eat voltiers.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not supposed to quote the Raven, or either Raven either.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're weren't supposed to eat buzz.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people do, you know, a grasshoppers and such, and you're not supposed to eat owl.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like owls, but you're not supposed to eat them.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is all in the video because technically, then by the way, if you ever go out and catch an owl, let me know, I want to see that on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that being said, these are things that that doesn't matter anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that matters, it doesn't matter.
[SPEAKER_00]: My point is, you are saved through the sacrifice of the lamb on the cross.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is why I wore this tie by the way.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wore this tie because this is a tie that has a black sheep.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what they were saying?
[SPEAKER_00]: Black sheep, the Black sheep of the family and all that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're the opposite of this.
[SPEAKER_00]: We are in a world, a lost world, a bunch of Black sheep.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're the white sheep of the family.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know why?
[SPEAKER_00]: Not because you're not a black sheep you are, but you were saved by the blood of Jesus Christ and you became white as snow because of the white sheep that was on the cross and died for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And therefore he washed every single spot, every single piece of living was taken out of your blood.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was taken out and you were now clean.
[SPEAKER_00]: The pastor still have fault to curse you, do your human.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a whole heap of false, but you're not gonna be judged by your ugly disgusting filthy false and you got him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like me, your boy pastor, you make me feel bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I know, but these are the facts.
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got him and people are gonna say, oh, you're not perfect all these Christians.
[SPEAKER_00]: Guess what?
[SPEAKER_00]: Christians are not gonna be judged by themselves when they get up to heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gonna be put on the weight skill.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I hate when the doctors make me do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: They gonna always skill and they go out.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, but when you get up on the scale and heaven, and you get up there, it's not going to be by the way, skill of your sin, because if you get up there and say, no, go in to hell, that's where you belong.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it doesn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you get on that way, skill and heaven, it's going to say, save, completely clean, no living at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why the snow?
[SPEAKER_00]: There'll be no black sheep up there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not whatsoever.
[SPEAKER_00]: You are his lamb.
[SPEAKER_00]: You are of his flaw.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't go chasing the black sheep in the other flats of the world.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you stupid?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you nuts?
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would you chase the other flock?
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would I want to be with him?
[SPEAKER_00]: I see him all his time, Christians, who try to roll around the mud to look like a black sheep.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're nuts?
[SPEAKER_00]: You've been saved by the blood of Jesus.
[SPEAKER_00]: But they're gonna make fun of me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Course they will.
[SPEAKER_00]: They hung our Lord and saved your lamb on the cross.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why wouldn't they mock you?
[SPEAKER_00]: They might put boo faces on Facebook.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh no.
[SPEAKER_00]: They might laughy laugh at me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh no.
[SPEAKER_00]: They might mock me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your feelings might be hurt.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Get up, get over it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Follow Jesus all the way to heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that'd be.
[SPEAKER_00]: Got me going now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Got me going.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Colossians chapter two, 16th through 17.
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, let no one judge you regarding food or drink or in respect of a holy day or a new moon or Sabbath days.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, this is written by Paul.
[SPEAKER_00]: These are shadows of things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not saved by what you do, but the one who died for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you asked, to save you, you're saved by your faith in his grace.
[SPEAKER_00]: Does that mean I can do anything I want to?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: It simply means that when you trip,
[SPEAKER_00]: And fall, on your little knee and skin it, little child of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Guys gonna pick you up and clean that knee.
[SPEAKER_00]: My mama was really good about cleaning her knees and helping us out put band-aids.
[SPEAKER_00]: On any of the funny how band-aids make you feel better.
[SPEAKER_00]: Makes you feel better in the, my, especially when he started put pictures on it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember I think the first one ever had a picture.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a Mickey Mouse one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved it.
[SPEAKER_00]: A grandma did that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember my brother Matthew one day in the very first building of the church, which was just a room that we read.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was running around outside and he fell at a piece of gravel that stuck in his knee.
[SPEAKER_00]: Boy, that looked terrible.
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember seeing that to this day, I remember way it looked uh-uh, and my mom and dad had a whole lot out of there.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was freezing up, and I remember, I was hurting for him.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know what's beautiful?
[SPEAKER_00]: The way my mom and dad did it, they did mock, they did make fun, they cleaned it off, they put some, whatever it was on there, I remember, I had a high school prox, I think.
[SPEAKER_00]: They put it on there.
[SPEAKER_00]: And even though they hurt them, they healed up with the bandaid on, and that's what dad does for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't cut off the knee, you heal it up.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't lose your salvation when you make a mistake.
[SPEAKER_00]: God heals you up and you have a great close relationship with the folks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, I know the world tries to tell you, you're doing this in those black sheep.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't listen to them.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't know how to bark correctly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Certainly they don't know how to say, hey man, so let's now turn the Hebrews chapter nine.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just gonna take a little walk.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hebrews chapter nine, 11 through 28.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know who the author was.
[SPEAKER_00]: My assumption is that it was Paul, but I could be wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: He reached chapter nine, verse 11, through 28, and then we're gonna go and check it in and relive it there too.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Christ, Hebrews 9, 11.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Christ, when he came as a high priest of the good things to come by a greater and more perfect cavernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of his creation, excuse me, of this creation, neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered the most holy place once for all,
[SPEAKER_00]: For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies so that the flesh is purified, how much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal spirit offered Himself without blemish to God?
[SPEAKER_00]: Plans your conscience from the dead works to serve the living God.
[SPEAKER_00]: since a death has occurred for the redemption of the sins that were committed under the first covenant, so that those who are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
[SPEAKER_00]: For where there is a will, there must also a necessity be the death of the testator.
[SPEAKER_00]: for the will has was a test data mean, executor of the will, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: So for the will has forced after men are dead.
[SPEAKER_00]: Since it has no force at all while the test data lives.
[SPEAKER_00]: So not even the test of, excuse me, the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.
[SPEAKER_00]: For when Moses had taught every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats with water, scarlet wool and hiss up.
[SPEAKER_00]: and sprinkled both the book and all the people saying this is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to keep.
[SPEAKER_00]: Likewise, he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the worship with blood.
[SPEAKER_00]: And according to the law, almost everything must be cleansed with blood without shedding a blood.
[SPEAKER_00]: There is no forgiveness.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let's now go to verse 23 here and I want to explain something here, as this is being said, it's very important that we know that the Old Testament people, the Hebrews, the Jewish, they became Christians.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what the book of Hebrews is about.
[SPEAKER_00]: They, they became Christians, but they were confused because they wanted to go back to Judaism and their actions in their, uh, basically their habits and they're trying to combine the two Christianity and Judaism.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can't do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that doesn't mean you can't do some traditions if you want to do Hanukkah, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to do those holidays, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's not how you are saying.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of Christians do the same type of thing, you know, try to combine the world with it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Judaism is fine as far as there's nothing wrong being a Jewish heritage, a Hebrew, but there is something wrong if you think that your actions are your salvation, and that's what this author was saying to them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so verse 23, it was therefore necessary that the replicas
[SPEAKER_00]: of heavenly things, be cleanse with the sacrifices, but that the heavenly things themselves be cleansed with better sacrifices than these.
[SPEAKER_00]: For Christ did not enter holy places made with hands, which are pattern after the true one, but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of God for us, nor did he enter to offer himself often
[SPEAKER_00]: as a high priest enters the most holy place, by the way, for those who think you have to get saved again and again, listen to this now.
[SPEAKER_00]: As the priest enter the host holy place every year with blood that is not his own, for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the world was created.
[SPEAKER_00]: But now he has appeared once at the end of the ages to put away sin by sacrificing
[SPEAKER_00]: But after this comes the judgment, verse 28, so Christ was offered once to bear sins of many, and He will appear a second time not to bear sin, but to save those who eagerly wait for Him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, now let's turn the pay, oh my page, I don't know how your old Bible is laid out here, but chapter 10, for the law,
[SPEAKER_00]: verse 1.
[SPEAKER_00]: For the law is a shadow of the good things to come and not the very image of those things.
[SPEAKER_00]: It could never be the same sacrifices when they offer continually year after year.
[SPEAKER_00]: Perfect, those who draw near, otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered since
[SPEAKER_00]: But in those sacrifices, there is an annual reminder of sins.
[SPEAKER_00]: For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and those to take away sins.
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, when he came into the world, he said, sacrifices and offerings you did not desire.
[SPEAKER_00]: But a body you have prepared for me in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin, you have had no pleasure.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I said, see, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the volume of the book.
[SPEAKER_00]: Previously when he said, you did not desire sacrifices and offerings that you have had no pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices of sin.
[SPEAKER_00]: which are offered in accordance with the law.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then he said, see, I have come to do your will.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh God, he takes away the first that he may establish the second.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just one second.
[SPEAKER_00]: By this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all I'm gonna say it again.
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's verse of Tim, by this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once, for all, verse 11, but every priest stands daily, ministering and repeatedly offering the same sacrifices which can never take away sins.
[SPEAKER_00]: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, forever set down to a right handle God, since that time he has been waiting for his enemies to be made his foot stool.
[SPEAKER_00]: For by one offering he has forever perfected those who are sanctified.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Holy Spirit also witnesses to us about this, for after saying, this is the covenant that I will make with them, after those days says the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts.
[SPEAKER_00]: And in their minds, I will write them, then he adds their sins and lawless deeds, will I remember no more?
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin, for it's 19.
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, brothers, we have confidence to enter the most holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way that He has opened for us through the veil that is to say, listen now.
[SPEAKER_00]: May I tell you about the veil that was ripped?
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go.
[SPEAKER_00]: by a lit, I'll say it one more time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, brothers, we have confidence to enter the most holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way that He has opened for us through the veil that is to say His flesh.
[SPEAKER_00]: And since we have a high priest over the house of God, let's draw a mirror with a true heart and full assurance.
[SPEAKER_00]: of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse them from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's firmly hold the profession of our faith without wavering for He who promises faithful and let us consider how to spur one another to love and to good works.
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen to that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And to good works, let us not forsake the assembly of ourselves together as in the manner of some, but let us exhort one another, especially you see the day as you see the day approaching.
[SPEAKER_00]: We are together together and the name of the Lord and the house of the Lord never to stop coming together to keep all keeping on together in the name of the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, you may have heard of self-sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_00]: Many people do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: They give up things and show their love for others.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some might as they do for God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you've heard of fasting.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing wrong with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to grow closer to God, maybe you've heard of lit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Many people do that especially in the Catholic situation.
[SPEAKER_00]: They avoid things like meat, and that's fine, that's when they're in the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: Others hold back, and they don't give up anything.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't give their all.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't give their best, and they don't go to the altar.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why do we have an altar here?
[SPEAKER_00]: Why do we have altars and why do we have these little pews up here?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's for praying.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people never come up and that's okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's between them and the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I stand here at the end of the service.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so that if anyone feels that not by the pastor.
[SPEAKER_00]: not by anyone else, not by the song.
[SPEAKER_00]: But if they feel led to the Holy Spirit to come up and pray for something specifically, they do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you feel led during the sermon, you could pray where you had, if you liked.
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you feel led, come forward and pray.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you never asked Jesus to save you.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't know why when you feel a pushing a urge to call out has to Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Holy Spirit, come forward.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't count on your good works because you don't have it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not on your own.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to heaven on your own good works.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's upon Jesus and Jesus alone.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the Lamb who died for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: What has God caused to be of that?
[SPEAKER_00]: A living sacrifice?
[SPEAKER_00]: Where's it to be a living sacrifice?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that doesn't mean putting a woman or a man on a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a
[SPEAKER_00]: and burn them like the people that did in other lands.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll talk about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: A living sacrifice to live as a sacrifice to God, a child of God, we're not going to live in the flesh.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll read you a scripture here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Romans, Charles, excuse me, Romans chapter 12, one through two.
[SPEAKER_00]: What does it say?
[SPEAKER_00]: It says, I urge you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God,
[SPEAKER_00]: is your reasonable service abortion.
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen this part, you're like it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've said, ready before, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: So bring everything up today, bring everything up to God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Put your all on the altar today.
[SPEAKER_00]: Put your all on the altar.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're having problems with your job, maybe having a hard time finding something that's makes you feel comfortable in your service to the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: Bring your all on the altar today to the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you're having a hard time right now because you know there are things habits or other things in your life.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's making you feel like you don't know what it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe your health, maybe maybe it's just your ability to study, remember things and other things.
[SPEAKER_00]: God can help you with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: He can help you like I can't.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what certain, do you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a memory problem.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not just because my brain has been dug into, so many times I'm in that habit.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have memory problems, but do you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: That God knows me more than you.
[SPEAKER_00]: God knows me more than me and he has helped me to remember things and there's times like God I can't remember anything help me lower This person's asking me questions about the Bible and I can't recall my brain so messed up I'm so messed up.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't be used of you suddenly.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where when I create that prayer.
[SPEAKER_00]: Guess what happens?
[SPEAKER_00]: That scripture comes back to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because God knows what the person needs to hear.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am nothing
[SPEAKER_00]: but a speaker, I don't mean a speaker like I talk or I mean the speaker, the person he's to hear it and God's speaking through me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore God can help you the same way, give everything to God, come to the pews, come to the altar, kneel.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you can't kneel, sit, it's okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you must pray and give your all to God at the invitation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do it tonight, if you must.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to be here.
[SPEAKER_00]: because I love being here.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love being in the house of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you are a house of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your body belongs to Jesus.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't use excuses not to be with Him.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's with you, be with Him.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's with you always.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm gonna close with first John to you too.
[SPEAKER_00]: He, as Jesus, He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's battle for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Lord God, we pray right now, we pray for those who need you.
[SPEAKER_00]: For those who do not know you, for those who believe in you, but have not put their beliefs into you, for those who are questioning, for that they're saved or not.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they feel as if they've not been obedient enough, and so it makes them question their salvation because they haven't had a closer relationship, so
[SPEAKER_00]: because so many people the world of put doubts in their minds.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those people are the world of being whose black sheep as we call them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are full of sin.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're being used to the devil.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't mean to be.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't know that they are, but they are.
[SPEAKER_00]: I pray that we will not listen to the black sheep around the neighborhood, or around the internet, or whatever.
[SPEAKER_00]: I pray that we will listen to the white sheep.
[SPEAKER_00]: And no, I'm not talking about federal Christians, but the white lamb.
[SPEAKER_00]: that was killed on the cross and rose from the grave.
[SPEAKER_00]: It speaks through the saved sheep.
[SPEAKER_00]: I pray in Lord God that we will be saved today if we're not.
[SPEAKER_00]: Make sure that we walk and make sure we're continuously clean.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not talking about saved, but clean, making sure our wool is clean and it doesn't get dirty in this world.
[SPEAKER_00]: I pray Lord God, we continue to follow you and put our all on the altar every single day.
[SPEAKER_00]: I pray this is your holy precious name, Amen.
