Welcome, and thank you for joining this message by David Entry at Carish Church.! In this season of Great Awakening, may God pour out His Spirit through His Word,! Refreshing your hearts and awakening you to His will.

Matthew chapter 16, I want to read from verse 13 to 18. When Jesus came into the coast of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I, the son of man, am?

And they said, Some say thou at John the Baptist, some Elias, and others Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. And He said unto them, But who do ye say that I am?

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are thou, Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I say unto thee, Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I'll build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Here is the reading of God's Word. Please let's pray, Father.

May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable. As I stand before your people to teach and preach your Word, I pray grant me utterance and precision of speech and boldness, that I will declare the mysteries of the gospel with clarity.

And I pray that grant us listening ears, circumcised ears, open hearts, that your Word will find a place in our hearts to produce fruits 30-fold, 60-fold and 100-fold, all to your glory.

Father, we thank you that as your Word is taught, your power is in display. Show your glory and show your power. We thank you in Jesus' name. Amen.

Hallelujah. As I grow in my knowledge of Christ Jesus, or as I grow in my spiritual journey and in ministry, I realize that the Bible has so much.

The Word of God has so much. It's infinite in its efficacy. It's infinite in its richness. So, as I grow in the Lord, I just keep realizing that there is always more to God than a moment can comprehend, apprehend, grasp, or appreciate.

And I began to also realize that almost every scripture, sometimes you sink your teeth into a text. And you might think that you've, you know, if it's an intellectual exercise, then you read it and you are done.

But I think it's not an intellectual exercise. It's an organic encounter. When I say organic, it's something that is able to be processed into your living.

It has life. It's living. As I taught the other time, the Word of God is organic. It's living. So, because it's living, it's like a tree that produces fruits.

The last fruits it produces is not all the fruits it should produce. So, you can even have one verse and you keep going to it and there's even still more. And there's still freshness.

It doesn't get stale. When the Spirit of God comes upon the text, it never gets stale. There are two things on this earth that are eternal in nature.

Or that will transcend natural life into eternity. Only two things. Every other thing here on earth is passing away. Every other thing.

So, Matthew 24, 35. Jesus said, heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will by no means. So, when heaven and earth goes, the word stays and it continues.

It's eternal. Jesus said, I think in Matthew 5, 18. For I shall let us see on it. So, heaven and earth pass away. No one jot or one detail will by no means pass from the law.

The law here means the word. The word cannot pass. It's eternal. And guess what is also eternal? You and I, human beings. When you die, it's not the end. When we die, it's the beginning, actually.

It's the beginning of the real face. Here is rehearsal. To determine where you will go. So, we come here to determine where we will go. Then after death, where you have determined, you go there and continue permanently.

So, human life is eternal. And guess what? The source of both are same. The source of both the human life and the word of God are the same.

Genesis 2, 7. The Bible said, And God formed man out of the dust of the earth. And God did what? He breathed into his nostrils. And man became. We are as a result of the breath of God.

The breath of God. But the word of God is also the breath of God. 2 Timothy 3, 16. And all scripture is given by the breath of God. So, that is why the word of God can have an effectual and effective place in your life.

If you allow it. Because really, the source of man is the breath of God. And the word of God is the breath of God. So, when the word of God, that's why we can't come together in meetings without allowing fresh breath.

For God to breathe himself unto us. When Jesus resurrected from the dead, he told them, he breathed unto us and received the spirit.

So, the breath of God is what makes us what we are supposed to be. Let me put it this way. In Genesis. This is a good one. Thank you, Jesus. In Genesis 2, 7.

And then Genesis 3, 19. Genesis 3, 19 is a bit scary. Genesis 3, 19 says that, In the sweat of your face, you shall eat bread till you return to the ground.

Ah. You are returning to the ground. Everyone. Everybody is going to return. Uh-huh. For out of it you were taken. For dust you are.

Is this still not worrying? You are not going with your Gucci. Is that... Dust. Dust. God said, dust. Ah. And you are not going to stay here forever.

You are going back to the dust. Genesis 2, 7. God formed man out of the dust. What changed woman and the living of man is not just the formation.

But after he took him from the dust, he did something to the dust. If you can allow this breath to keep coming, you will not be just an ordinary dust. But outside of the breath of God, the word of God coming into your life, there's nothing to you but dust.

You and I, we are dust and we are busily getting ready. I feel like preaching. We are busily getting ready to return. Oh, yeah. You are working, working, having family.

It's just all proper process of return. It's good. You have a good qualification. But it's just a label. The qualification is a return label.

And so I shouldn't get it. No, you have to get it. Because once you are here, get ready to return. What makes you different from others? So long as dustness of humanity is concerned is the breath of God.

And God, after taking the dust. But God, why did he take dust? Because that's how it works. Because outside of the dust, you can't live on earth. So we are made to live on earth. So he took the dust.

And then he said, now this is dust. I've finished. But until I put myself, my breath into it, it's not good news. It's not good news. What will guarantee your successful living is the organic word of God.

That gets it. Am I? Money doesn't necessarily guarantee you are living. It can make dust life comfortable. A lot of people don't know they have dust life.

But it is. No, my pastor, I disagree with you. You don't wash for two days. You realize how dusty you are in spite of how expensive your perfumes are.

All right. So the word of God is the breath of God. To enhance our living on earth in preparation towards honor after here.

It's so important. So it doesn't matter how much you try. Let me use this construction terminology. How much you try to excavate from God's word.

It's inexhaustible. There's always something fresh in it for us. And I realize that sometimes you take one scripture. And it doesn't matter how you master it.

You realize that you cannot have full grace of it. Because when you think you finish knowing the text, that's when you realize you actually don't know the text.

There's always more. So in the text we are dealing with, I don't think we will ever finish it because that text is so pregnant. Jesus, when they came to Caesarea Philippi, I was teaching recently trying to differentiate Caesarea.

Caesarea, that's it. There's no only one Caesarea in the Bible, in the New Testament. There was another Caesarea in Acts chapter 10 verse 1, where Cornelius used to live.

Okay, so there is Caesarea Maratima. So it's the coastal Caesarea. It's called Caesarea Maratima, coastal Caesarea. That's where Philip, after the Spirit took him through Azotus, in Acts chapter 8 verse 40, he went to dwell in Caesarea.

Now, that is different from the Caesarea we are dealing with. This Caesarea is on the upper borders of Israel, or in Galilee, the northern borders of Galilee.

And quite far. Jerusalem is in the south. And Galilee is in the north. And so, Jerusalem is the religious capital. How about Caesarea?

Jesus waited for them to get to Caesarea Philippi. It's called Caesarea Philippi because previously, it was the actual name of the place, it's Panias.

Panias. That city was built by Herod the Great, the one who slaughtered a lot of children when Jesus was born. Herod, a very wicked man. He built that city. And then when he died, his son, Philip, came and rebuilt it, and named it after the Emperor Caesar Augustus.

So, that's why it's called Caesarea. It was named after Caesar. But because there was already another Caesarea, they have to distinguish this. So, it was Philip who built this Caesarea, so he called it Caesarea Philippi.

Does that make sense? But originally, it was called Panias. Panias stems from the Greek word Pan. You know Pan, P-A-N. There's this God, Greek God called Pan.

Half God, half human. Some of you have seen the images. Yeah, he's the God of the wilderness, God of nature. So, the Greek times. So, and as I was talking about Pantheism, the combination of Pan, it's a lot of...

So, Pan, in that place, they had all kinds of religious or spiritist activities. And Jesus took them from Jerusalem.

When they got to Caesarea Philippi, where there were a lot of all kinds of amalgamation and combination of worship, he asked them, who do men say, I, the son of man, am?

And they said, John the Baptist, Elijah, or Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. Very, very good. He should have been satisfied with that.

You know, and they gave Jesus this high approval rating of the best of the best. The prophets, Jeremiah, Elijah, John the Baptist was the most current who shoot the entire nation.

So, people respected, even Herod wanted to see him. A Herod thought, Herod, this is how Herod thought about Jesus. Herod in Luke chapter 8 verse 7, Herod thought that Jesus was John the Baptist resurrected.

I mean, that means John the Baptist to another level. Or John the Baptist on steroids. So, if John the Baptist was so revered and respected, and he has come back from the dead, and they say, you are the one, man.

But Jesus is not just a prophet. He's not just a miracle worker, not just a good teacher, not just a moralist. He's more than that. So, it doesn't matter what people say about him. He's more than that.

Say, my Jesus is more than anything they say. My Jesus is more than anything they say. Now, Jesus is more than that. Somebody say, Jesus is more than that. Jesus is more than that.

I said recently that many major religions always speak well of Jesus. Not many, all major religions of the world. They revere Jesus. Some say he's a prophet.

All major religions, he's represented in their books or something. They revere him. But it's interesting, almost all of them, they are not represented in their Bible. They are just represented by Panias.

Panias. So, Jesus said, it's okay, but you, what people are saying is not as important as what you are saying. Because that's the foundation of anything God in your life.

Jesus said to the woman at the well, the hour has come when the true worshiper shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For such seeketh the Father to worship him. Verse 24 says that God is a spirit and this who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.

Jesus presented God to the woman at the well in verse 23 as worshipers. He said, God is the Father. He said, the hour is coming.

Now it's, when the true worshiper shall worship. He didn't say worship God. When he talk about the Father, it's not, it's more than just God being our Father. Our Father who art in heaven.

Hello be thy name. Jesus taught us to pray. Now, in this text, he was referring to God as Father more than just being the Father of we Christians who know him.

It's more than that. In what way? He was sending signals to the Trinity. Their Godhead. Trinity, he was referring to Jesus, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 3, blessed be, Ephesians chapter 1 verse 3 says, blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus.

Now this is more than just our Father who art in heaven. This is describing a nature. Who he is and how he operates.

And so, there is always more to God to know in order to enhance the quality of worship. The quality of worship is determined by the depths of knowledge we have of God whom we are worshipping.

Because until you know him, you can worship him that way you should. So, Jesus said, who do you say I am? And then Bible says, Simon Peter said, you are the Christ, the son of the living God.

And Jesus said, blessed are you, Simon Bajona, for flesh and blood has not revealed this unto you. in 2 Peter chapter 1 verse 2 and verse 3 and verse 8 and chapter 2 verse 20 and chapter 3 verse 18.

2 Peter chapter 1 verse 2. Oh, I like this, you know. There are certain levels of grace and peace that you can't enjoy unless you know something.

Or, not even something, someone. He said, shall we all read the hour from the screen? Is that okay? Let's go. Grace and peace be more likely in the knowledge of God and Jesus.

Did you see that? Grace and peace be more, let's have the New American Standard Version or L.A. King James. Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God.

God is knowable. Can we all say that together? God is knowable. God can be known. And how much you know of God is what determines the grace and peace that gets multiplied to you.

So, grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

The more you know him, we can know him. Look at verse 3. According to us, his divine power has given to us all things that make life life.

And that helps for godliness. How is he given to us? Through the knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue. The means of communication of this divine power that gives us all things that pertain to life and godliness.

The means of the communication of that power is repository of the knowledge of him. That means we can know him. You can know him.

In 2 Peter 3 verse 18, it says that, but grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He said, grow in it. Jesus is more than what you know. Jesus is more than that. He's more than what you know. He's more than what you have ever known.

He's more. And he says, grow in the knowledge of Jesus, of our Lord and Savior Jesus to him. I like this one. When I'm reading the Bible, I come across to him the glory is so sweet in my ears.

It salutes my ears with such sweetness. He says that, to him be the glory both now and forever. Amen. But he said, grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe that above what God can do for you this year, there's something that can happen to you which is a defining factor of the quality of your life.

It's growing in grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Grow in grace and the knowledge. He wants us to know him. So in 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 20, it says that, after they have escaped the pollution of the world, how do they do it?

I'm taking my time to just make you read from the text. You can escape pollution from the world not just by face masks.

Through the knowledge of the, you can be wearing face masks but your life is polluted. The world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

And he says that we can escape. I like that word escape. Escape suggests something that it's almost caught up with you. Something that is not pleasant, that's no good, that shouldn't happen, almost caught up with you.

It's catching but you can't escape. It's like you're walking and then something is falling from a roof or something. Maybe some broken light is falling. And then you escape.

He hits the floor. Wow. I escape. I escape. He said you can escape from the pollution that is in the world. How do you do it? Not by darkening but by knowing him.

So does that make sense? When Jesus asked them who do you say I am? Not who do they say I am?

Not who do the pastor say I am? Not who does the church say I am? Who do you say? It is foundational.

Foundational when it comes to whatever God can do in your life. Jesus is more than you know. He's more than you know. So you should spend your time on earth pursuing the knowledge of him.

In 2 Peter chapter 1 verse 8 for if these things are yours and abound you will neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus is knowable. God is knowable and he wants us to know him. He wants us to get closer to him. Please tell somebody Jesus is more than you know. say to another person Jesus is more than you know.

So I like this in John chapter 17 verse 3 Jesus said this is Jesus' prayer this is eternal life that they may know you the only true God and Christ whom you have sent said that is eternal life that they may know you they may know you they may know you they may know you the rest of your Christian life should be lived pursuing the knowledge of Christ that is what Christianity is really about grace flows from that peace multiplies from that understanding flows from that quality of spiritual life flows from that I'm not talking about just dry head knowledge I'm talking about spirit filled knowledge of Jesus Christ because you can't know him just by your mind you know him through your spirit as you engage your mind so this is how Paul puts it I don't think anybody ever encountered Jesus by Paul did so in 1 Corinthians chapter 15

Paul was talking about he was seen by many for 40 days and he said from verse 5 6 7 7 and 8 and he said he was seen! by Peter then by all the apostles he was seen by the twelve okay then he said last of all Paul he says that last of all he was seen by me also it's like I was born at the wrong time because the time when he resurrected he was with the people for 40 days he was there they all saw him but me I saw him after he had ascended so he said my seeing him was too late but he favored!

me and made me see him said last of all he was seen by me also as one born out or born at the wrong time at the time if you want to have tea with Winston Churchill then you should have been born earlier on you understand that but if you are living here he said God told me I will have tea with Winston Churchill you are born at the wrong time you are at the wrong side of history Paul Jesus came back so I can see him now such a person who had saw Jesus and had such an encounter with Jesus he should chill out I'm done great Exodus but you know what in Philippians chapter 3 verse 8 he said I just want to know him yet indeed

I also count all things lost for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord to whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as Lord look at the last that I may gain him give us the King James or the New American that I may win him how does New American that that I may give now let's go to the next verse and be found in him not having my own righteousness which is of the Lord but that which is of Christ through faith he said look at verse 7 but all things that were gained to me I have counted loss for Christ yet indeed I have counted all things lost for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ I just want to know him but you met him already no there's more to him there is more to him there is more to him I want to know him and then verse 10 says that I may know him Paul's life motivation was to know

Christ not just to preach but he wanted to know him more and more and more and that should be every Christian's greatest aspiration your greatest dream shouldn't be marriage your greatest you are a very unenlightened Christian if your greatest desire in life is to be rich that's all I want to be rich that's all I want to live for to be rich when you return to that time take you return very fast because Jesus told a whole parable story about in Luke chapter 12 a man the man was a successful businessman he did well all his friends were saying that he done so well you've done well for yourself they're telling you that you've done well for yourself you've done well for yourself you've done well for yourself do you know what in those days agriculture was the main banking system main trade so ban that's where they store food so he had a ban big one and his proceeds instead of giving some out he said no it's not enough he broke down he tore down his existing ban he dismantled it and built a bigger one oh the guy prospered

I see you prospering the guy prospered he did so well that he now closed down this account he tore down it's in a text you see if you don't open your eyes you will see he said what will I do now I will pull down my bars and build greater and I will store all my crops and my goods and I will say to my soul you have many goods laid for many years take your life ease eat drink and chill out some of us that's our dream that's your dream a Christian brother like you this is your greatest dream he said that night God said you are a fool it's dust time it's time to return to the dust look chapter 12 verse 20 because look

Jesus when he finished saying this look at the next statement he said it's not about the man it's about you and I anyone who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich towards God he said you are just like this fool you are just like don't make a fool your celebrity interpret it grace and peace be the greatest aspiration of a Christian should be that I may know him or he puts it this way the excellence of his knowledge the knowledge of Christ is so excellent I want to know him why because Jesus is more than that he is more than what we think what we know what we have ever know he is more so in Ephesians chapter one this how apostle Paul puts it verse seven apostle

Paul puts it says that in him we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace the riches of his grace this riches of his grace tells you that this grace thing is so deep you can keep going and going deeper into the grace of God life will be filled saturated and decorated with grace and you will never run out of grace the riches the riches and so having said all that if Christ is more than that it I think since he himself is thank you Jesus this is a good one since he himself is interested in how you know him why don't we also take advantage and exploring textually by text because

I don't want to restrict our knowing Jesus to ethereal feelings how you feel about him he appeared to me I was praying no no that's not what I mean please that's not what I mean that is very subjective and that can be very misleading your private revelation of Jesus don't bring it to the table okay it's good just for you your private revelation of Jesus is not communicable it's not coming once it transfers from you it's stale it's rotten God has not left himself to people's personal experiences so if I come and transfer my personal experience that I was here and then I saw Jesus he was like this it might be true but it's not for you preachers who keep transferring their personal encounters and personal special revelations of Jesus to people they are making a mistake because that thing is not transferable it's not communicable he says in

Matthew chapter 28 I'm not communicating at all Matthew chapter 28 Matthew chapter 28 he told them he gave the church a marching orders go into the world and make disciples and then verse 20 says that teaching them to observe all your revelations about me no he said teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you so I have given you and when he says all things I have commanded you he is not talking about personal revelations that is very whimsical and subjective it might not be wrong in itself it might not be bad in itself but if you don't want to start a religion don't transfer your personal revelation of Jesus to people that's how to start religions why Christianity is not a religion because it's not based on their personal revelation all scripture is given by God himself breathed out so

God gave himself he made himself knowable to the pages of scripture not because somebody wrote it every scripture has two authors every text of the Bible has two authors we have the secondary author which are those who physically wrote it and the primary author which is God God breathed it out it wasn't like God inspired them to write God himself was the one doing the influence as they were writing without hijacking their faculties so all scripture everything it says that as Acts chapter 2 verse 16 17 the first preaching of the church was text driven text it was Bible heavy God breathe it out so when you go to the text you are actually having direct what God is saying now when I am teaching my job is not to impose my feelings or revelations on you but my job based on my personal understanding and insight is to help you to also see it do you understand that that's the job of a pastor to help you to see it that's why we have to that

ABC someone has helped you to notice it that becomes your personal bonafide revelation it wasn't transferred to you but you were guided into it a pastor is supposed to be a guide guiding people he's not manufacturing new ideas he's just helping people to see the existing information on the page page of that is how you know Christ and so it says the unsearchable riches of Christ the unsearchable for me I was given to preach the unsearchable Ephesians chapter 3 verse 8 and 9 to preach the unsearchable who am less than the least of the saints was this grace given that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable this is deep that's why I'm trying to say that Christ is more than that Christ tap somebody on the shoulder and tell the person

Christ is more than you know this morning this morning as I was praying for the service I prayed that Holy Spirit please as I preach your word I trust you to tap on somebody's shoulder and whisper to them yourself speak to them yourself let them find out how the knowledge of Christ is essential and crucial so when you study scriptures very carefully ah scripture is replete with imageries or portraits of Christ that statement is loaded scripture is replete or scripture is saturated with portraits of Christ so what do I mean by portraits of Christ how Christ is portrayed or depicted with different images that's why I said it's more than that you can take one book alone and it has several portraits like Hebrews

Christ is portrayed as God portrayed as the son of God portrayed as the son of man portrayed as man portrayed as the captain of our salvation portrayed as the high Christ whose blood saves us portrayed as the mediator of the new covenant portrayed as the executor of the new testament is portrayed as the one whose blood speaks better his different portraits of Christ today I want to just take you one or two I said all this to allow me to tell you about the portraits of Christ because Christ is more I say who do you say I am!

He's more than they say He's more than you know and he's more than you think so for instance when you take the book of Ephesians for instance in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 3 to 6 it talks of blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Jesus Christ just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love having predestinated us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ himself according to the good pleasure of his will number six to the praise of the glory of God's grace by which he made us acceptable is he the B who is he talking about Jesus he's the beloved a voice came all the way from heaven it's not a phone call from

Buckingham Palace White House or Downing Street this is a voice from heaven Matthew 17 5 a voice came all the way from heaven and he said this is my beloved son while he speaking behold a bright cloud suddenly a voice came out of the cloud saying this is my beloved everybody say beloved son there's a difference this didn't say my begotten this one beloved John this one yeah he's begotten but he's beloved the father loves Christ beloved when John was baptizing him in John chapter 3 17 said a voice came and he says that this is my beloved John chapter 3 verse 17 suddenly a voice came from heaven saying this is my beloved son in whom ah so if you are in Christ you automatically are well pleasing to God so we have been accepted!

in the beloved there's only one thing God loves one thing God is in love with God is enamored with he's in love he really loves it and that is the beloved we are just accepted in the beloved so the first imagery portraits we saw is that Jesus is the beloved Jesus is the beloved he's the beloved if you love the beloved you will be loved whom having no sin yet he love if you love the beloved you will be loved and be gotten it's in your Bible first George chapter five second look at verse seven the next verse Jesus number one Jesus is the beloved number two in him we have redemption we have it in him where do you get redemption you won't get redemption online neither will you get it offline where do you get redemption why because he's our redeemer

Jesus said in Job chapter 19 25 and 26 I know my redeemer Jesus is our redeemer he's our redeemer that is such a powerful thing and I will end on that you see that imagery of Ruth and Boaz now Naomi came back to Bethlehem after she's buried her husband and her two sons and Oprah said okay I think I'm here I'm fine I'll stay here and Ruth said to Naomi wherever you go I'll go your God will be my God God said did you say that you know the God of God you are talking about if you attach yourself to his people he will bless you that's Rahab's biggest secret Rahab's biggest secret is he just accepted!

the people God you drive your car thinking it is a space craft and many of us we have spiritual alcohol in our systems it's natural that one it comes naturally what do I mean by your alcohol level all of us are natural and mundane because of the way we are coming from where where are we coming from so we are very mundane and natural Jesus said his that is from above is above all he said I speak to you things that are from above but you don't get it John chapter 3 because he that is above is above all we are from beneath Jesus said he who comes from above is above all he who is of the earth is ugly and speaks many people doing online podcasts and commenting on churches are speaking of the earth many people because the way you are speaking it tells me you are not spiritual now this is what

I am leading to when you are natural you are likely to approach things even spiritual things naturally so for God to help us so if God wants to help me not get on the wrong side of history or not get on the wrong side of God he will first of all try to announce his presence did you understand what I'm saying it's my job to be careful how I handle somebody even though I know they might also be human how I even handle their humanity think outside the box don't let your alcohol level influence you your naturalness is leading you astray because you miss God on several occasions don't miss him when it's glaring in your face there are some things you can take back and God always out of his mercies helps us in our drunken state our earthly state to just see you know there are times people have been drunk but they didn't fall they are drunk but at least they can stay here look at

Naomi everything around her was collapsing bury your husband bury your first son bury your second son you can't say no no I'm done with this place but Ruth still knew God was with this woman so he said your God I like him the God who has allowed your sons and husband to die he said I don't care I know this God I like him God said really?

You are woman of faith you are going to join the team of people who are going to lead Jesus to come on earth what am I trying to say quickly and then Ruth shows up in Bethlehem and the richest man in town falls in love not with anybody by the help of Naomi who she decided to follow they already knew some things one day a very great man of God very prominent powerful man he told me some people they have money but they are dying I know where I can show them one they will just see them I don't even make so I am just watching people have solutions but sometimes because of our attitude they watch us Boaz saw Ruth and said that's the one I'll marry and redeemed her from her outsideness and integrated her into the covenant life and that is what

Jesus what we talk about redemption he's our Boaz he took us outside of disqualification and brought us in and made us qualified made us sons of God made us children of God that is my Jesus when you are in Christ forget about those who are not qualified he will sort those up just just put your head there and just keep enjoying because he's our redeemer so we are accepted in him and he's our redeemer next week did you receive something I think I have to let this out of my sister hallelujah give Jesus your big big big praise hallelujah we're so glad you joined us for this message by
