00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.500
 Amen. Thank you, Treg.

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:08.740
 Let's open up our Bibles again to Isaiah chapter 55.

00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:19.879
 Isaiah chapter 55. We started this chapter last week with this invitation to come and to feast on the goodness of God.

00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:27.500
 It was this invitation that was extended to any who would listen and any who would trust in the Word of God.

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:32.700
 They could come and find true and lasting satisfaction for their souls.

00:00:33.539 --> 00:00:39.000
 And this morning we see God make yet another promise here in verses 3 through 5.

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:44.500
 So let's open there now. Isaiah chapter 55. We're going to be in verses 3 through 5.

00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:50.659
 And I know that the words will probably be behind me, but I encourage you to have a physical Bible in your lap open

00:00:50.659 --> 00:00:53.079
 because we're going to be hopping around a couple different places.

00:00:53.579 --> 00:00:56.460
 And I want your eyes there on God's Word.

00:00:56.460 --> 00:01:00.439
 So Isaiah 55, 3 through 5. Follow with me this morning as I read.

00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.239
 Incline your ear and come to me.

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.840
 Hear that your soul may live.

00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.359
 And I will make with you an everlasting covenant.

00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:19.319
 My steadfast, sure love for David.

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.960
 Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples.

00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:25.520
 A leader and commander for the peoples.

00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:34.000
 Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you.

00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:38.179
 Because of the Lord your God and of the Holy One of Israel.

00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:41.500
 For he has glorified you.

00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.399
 Would you pray with me once more?

00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:45.940
 Lord, this is your word.

00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:49.980
 And we ask that you would speak now in power.

00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.240
 As we open it up, as we seek your face in what you have said.

00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:59.020
 God, our desire is to learn from you and be transformed by the power of your word.

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.640
 So we pray, would you do that now as we open up this passage of scripture.

00:02:04.219 --> 00:02:05.200
 We pray this in Christ's name.

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:05.640
 Amen.

00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.519
 Amen.

00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.039
 But it is Sunday, November 13th.

00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.599
 It's the Sunday after election day.

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:25.060
 And many of you, I know, went out to the polls Tuesday or sometime before Tuesday to cast your votes and appoint new leadership.

00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:31.080
 And you did so generally on the basis of campaign promises.

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:46.120
 Regardless of how you voted, regardless of who you voted for, what it comes down to is you cast your vote on the premise that you could trust those names on the ballot to fulfill the promises that they made.

00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.319
 What they would do given your vote.

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.460
 That you can trust their promises.

00:02:50.460 --> 00:03:00.460
 And so each candidate on the ballot, they ran advertisements, they ran commercials, radio spots, TV appearances, text message assaults.

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:07.360
 Offering certain promises to you, the voter, should they be appointed to their desired office.

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:09.620
 And I may be cynical.

00:03:10.700 --> 00:03:14.340
 And I don't think I'm presenting any new information to anybody here this morning.

00:03:14.340 --> 00:03:23.259
 But history would show that some of those promises will indeed be kept and will be seen through to their desired end.

00:03:23.900 --> 00:03:27.659
 But many of them will be broken.

00:03:28.900 --> 00:03:32.120
 In fact, that's the sad reality of dealing with any human leadership.

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:33.460
 They are imperfect.

00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:38.020
 Their words and their promises only go so far.

00:03:38.379 --> 00:03:39.879
 In fact, you may be aware of this.

00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.919
 There are certain websites that track campaign promises all the way to the end.

00:03:45.019 --> 00:03:46.519
 These campaign promise trackers.

00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.340
 They track them from the mouth of the politician all the way to see how they have been completed,

00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:56.620
 if they have been completed, if they were lies to begin with,

00:03:56.620 --> 00:04:01.319
 or whether we're still waiting to see if they might actually keep their promises.

00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:07.620
 Last week, in verses 1 through 3 of Isaiah 55,

00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:13.780
 we saw that God made His people a promise.

00:04:14.539 --> 00:04:15.299
 He said,

00:04:16.060 --> 00:04:16.639
 Come to me.

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.980
 Come to me, all who are thirsty.

00:04:19.100 --> 00:04:19.860
 Come to the waters.

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:20.319
 Come drink.

00:04:21.159 --> 00:04:21.740
 Come to me.

00:04:21.819 --> 00:04:23.399
 Come all who are hungry.

00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:24.199
 Come feast.

00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:25.360
 Come all who are poor.

00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.000
 Come all who are needy.

00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:30.219
 Come to me and satisfy your soul in me.

00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:31.280
 And here's the promise.

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:35.200
 And you will have life for your soul.

00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:38.760
 That's a promise from the mouth of God.

00:04:38.840 --> 00:04:40.500
 It's a promise to you this morning.

00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:45.720
 That if you will listen diligently to the Word of God,

00:04:45.860 --> 00:04:50.680
 and if you will believe and trust the promises of God,

00:04:51.140 --> 00:04:55.000
 you will find satisfaction for your soul.

00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:00.240
 You will receive life in the presence of God.

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:06.319
 And unlike us, unlike sinful men and women who make promises and don't fulfill,

00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.879
 who say things and don't act,

00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.240
 God is always true to His Word.

00:05:13.379 --> 00:05:13.560
 Amen?

00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:20.399
 We can trust that what He has spoken, He will fulfill.

00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.899
 His promises can be trusted completely.

00:05:24.979 --> 00:05:31.099
 So here in our passage this morning, God makes another incredible promise.

00:05:31.539 --> 00:05:33.739
 Here in verses 3 through 5, look there with me.

00:05:34.379 --> 00:05:37.219
 He promises anyone, even you this morning,

00:05:37.379 --> 00:05:41.199
 if you will incline your ear and listen to the Word of God,

00:05:41.679 --> 00:05:45.319
 if you will come and feast on the goodness of God,

00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:46.759
 He says in verse 3,

00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.759
 I will make with you an everlasting covenant.

00:05:52.980 --> 00:05:55.759
 That is an eternal promise.

00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:57.839
 And then He tells us what it is.

00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.139
 What is God offering here?

00:05:59.219 --> 00:06:04.519
 He says, it's my steadfast, sure love for David.

00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.939
 My steadfast, sure love for David.

00:06:09.819 --> 00:06:13.819
 And that is an incredible promise that God is holding out for us this morning,

00:06:13.819 --> 00:06:17.060
 if we understand what that means.

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.500
 And so this morning, what I plan to do,

00:06:19.540 --> 00:06:20.860
 what I'd like to do with our time together,

00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.259
 is to trace that promise.

00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.319
 All the way from the mouth of God Himself,

00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.259
 to David in the Old Testament,

00:06:30.039 --> 00:06:31.120
 to Christ,

00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:32.719
 to us,

00:06:33.159 --> 00:06:35.600
 and through us to the world.

00:06:36.139 --> 00:06:36.439
 Okay?

00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.300
 So we're going to trace that promise in three stages this morning.

00:06:39.379 --> 00:06:40.199
 This will be our outline.

00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:41.199
 If you're taking notes,

00:06:41.819 --> 00:06:42.939
 I encourage you to take notes,

00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:43.879
 to follow along.

00:06:44.159 --> 00:06:47.120
 We'll track this promise in three stages this morning.

00:06:47.259 --> 00:06:50.159
 God's love was promised to David.

00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:53.860
 It was fulfilled in Christ.

00:06:54.779 --> 00:06:57.560
 And now it is given to the nations.

00:06:58.699 --> 00:07:01.259
 Three stages of this covenant love of God.

00:07:01.339 --> 00:07:02.800
 It was promised to David,

00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:04.659
 fulfilled in Christ,

00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:07.079
 and given to the nations.

00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.680
 So first,

00:07:10.259 --> 00:07:13.879
 God's covenant love was promised to David.

00:07:14.039 --> 00:07:15.319
 Look there again to verse three.

00:07:16.039 --> 00:07:16.459
 God says,

00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.360
 anyone who inclines their ear and comes to Him,

00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:21.199
 anyone who hears,

00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:21.839
 not just hears,

00:07:21.919 --> 00:07:23.339
 but listens diligently,

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:24.079
 and trusts,

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:26.839
 and believes the promises of God,

00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:32.519
 anyone can come into this soul-satisfying feast and live.

00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.099
 And then He says,

00:07:34.299 --> 00:07:34.740
 hear me,

00:07:34.919 --> 00:07:35.919
 come to me,

00:07:36.099 --> 00:07:40.060
 and I will make with you an everlasting covenant,

00:07:40.699 --> 00:07:41.939
 my steadfast,

00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.659
 sure love for David.

00:07:44.819 --> 00:07:45.919
 What is that?

00:07:46.899 --> 00:07:48.279
 Now what is He talking about here?

00:07:49.219 --> 00:07:51.599
 David is dead and gone.

00:07:51.659 --> 00:07:53.839
 Even by the time Isaiah is writing this prophecy,

00:07:54.099 --> 00:07:56.539
 David is long gone.

00:07:56.540 --> 00:07:58.000
 So what does this mean,

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.560
 that God is promising His steadfast,

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:01.939
 sure love for David

00:08:01.939 --> 00:08:04.040
 to any who would come and hear

00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.700
 and feast on these promises of God?

00:08:06.760 --> 00:08:08.100
 Well, in order for us to understand

00:08:08.100 --> 00:08:09.740
 what He's offering here,

00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.340
 we need to turn backwards

00:08:11.340 --> 00:08:12.780
 to the Old Testament

00:08:12.780 --> 00:08:15.120
 in 2 Samuel chapter 7.

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.080
 And so if you have your Bibles open,

00:08:17.200 --> 00:08:18.420
 please turn there again,

00:08:18.580 --> 00:08:20.140
 2 Samuel chapter 7.

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:23.180
 This is the passage that was read earlier for us.

00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:27.040
 We need to turn there and lay eyes on this promise.

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:31.759
 So King David,

00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:35.539
 he had a desire to make a house for God.

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.060
 He wanted to build a temple for the Lord,

00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.240
 a place of worship for the Lord.

00:08:40.299 --> 00:08:40.960
 But the Lord said,

00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:42.820
 you're not going to build me a house.

00:08:42.899 --> 00:08:43.899
 Instead, guess what?

00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:46.600
 I'm going to build you a house.

00:08:47.220 --> 00:08:51.000
 And then he made some incredible promises here to David.

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:52.659
 Listen to what he promises David here.

00:08:52.659 --> 00:08:54.500
 2 Samuel chapter 7.

00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:55.959
 I'm going to start in verse 5.

00:08:56.699 --> 00:08:58.399
 We'll read it and then we'll break it down.

00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:00.279
 God says,

00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.480
 Go and tell my servant David,

00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:03.839
 thus says the Lord,

00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.480
 would you build me a house to dwell in?

00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:08.059
 I've not lived in a house

00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:09.980
 since the day I brought up the people Israel

00:09:09.980 --> 00:09:11.579
 from Egypt to this day,

00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.339
 but I've been moving about in a tent for my dwelling.

00:09:15.019 --> 00:09:16.600
 In all the places where I have moved

00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:17.919
 with all the people of Israel,

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:21.120
 did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.819
 whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel,

00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:24.279
 saying,

00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:26.519
 why have you not built me a house of cedar?

00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.279
 Now therefore,

00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:30.899
 thus you shall say to my servant David,

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.179
 thus says the Lord of hosts,

00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:35.159
 I took you from the pasture,

00:09:35.439 --> 00:09:36.620
 from following the sheep,

00:09:36.939 --> 00:09:39.240
 that you should be a prince over my people Israel.

00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.899
 And I've been with you wherever you went,

00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.360
 and I've cut off all your enemies before you.

00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:45.159
 Now here's the promise.

00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:45.659
 Listen here.

00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:49.740
 And I will make for you a great name,

00:09:50.199 --> 00:09:52.639
 like the name of the great ones of the earth.

00:09:53.259 --> 00:09:56.199
 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel

00:09:56.199 --> 00:09:59.719
 and will plant them so that they may dwell in their own place

00:09:59.719 --> 00:10:01.519
 and be disturbed no more.

00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:05.079
 And violent men shall afflict them no more as formerly

00:10:05.079 --> 00:10:08.600
 from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel.

00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:12.480
 And I will give you rest from all your enemies.

00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:17.639
 Moreover, the Lord declares to you that the Lord will make you a house.

00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.240
 And when your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers,

00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:25.120
 I will raise up your offspring after you,

00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:27.080
 who shall come from your body,

00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:29.620
 and I will establish his kingdom.

00:10:30.300 --> 00:10:32.039
 He shall build a house for my name,

00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:35.480
 and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

00:10:35.860 --> 00:10:37.700
 I will be to him a father,

00:10:37.940 --> 00:10:40.340
 and he shall be to me a son.

00:10:40.340 --> 00:10:42.000
 When he commits iniquity,

00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:44.259
 I will discipline him with the rod of men,

00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:46.280
 with the stripes of the son of men.

00:10:46.379 --> 00:10:50.259
 But my steadfast love will not depart from him,

00:10:50.540 --> 00:10:51.899
 as I took it from Saul,

00:10:52.259 --> 00:10:53.960
 whom I put away from before you.

00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.680
 And your house and your kingdom

00:10:56.680 --> 00:10:59.540
 shall be made sure forever before me.

00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:02.620
 Your throne shall be established forever.

00:11:03.500 --> 00:11:04.920
 In accordance with all these words,

00:11:05.019 --> 00:11:06.820
 and in accordance with all this vision,

00:11:07.160 --> 00:11:09.720
 Nathan spoke to David.

00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:09.879
 David.

00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:13.000
 Now could you imagine?

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:16.300
 Place yourself in David's shoes here for a moment.

00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.460
 Could you imagine being David

00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:20.960
 and hearing these promises from the mouth of God?

00:11:21.940 --> 00:11:25.519
 David knowing how undeserving he was,

00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:27.080
 knowing that he was just a shepherd

00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:28.580
 when God called him,

00:11:28.660 --> 00:11:33.500
 not even tall or attractive in appearance like his brothers,

00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.279
 but God called him to be king,

00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.799
 knowing how much blood he had shed,

00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.500
 how big of a sin he had committed,

00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:43.679
 how deep he had fallen into rebellion against God.

00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:44.819
 Yet God says,

00:11:44.899 --> 00:11:47.399
 without any condition for David to meet,

00:11:48.059 --> 00:11:48.899
 I will.

00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:50.620
 I will.

00:11:50.620 --> 00:11:51.120
 I will.

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:51.620
 I will.

00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:52.299
 I will.

00:11:53.340 --> 00:11:57.019
 See, this promise was totally undeserved,

00:11:57.340 --> 00:11:58.840
 totally unmerited,

00:11:59.019 --> 00:11:59.679
 and God said,

00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:01.500
 I will do it.

00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:05.279
 I will be faithful to my word.

00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.679
 So what exactly did God promise David?

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:12.039
 We can break it down into four categories here.

00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:15.679
 Four categories of this promise that God made to David.

00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:20.459
 First, God promised David he would have a proclaimed name.

00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:23.080
 He said in verse nine,

00:12:23.740 --> 00:12:26.820
 I will make for you a great name.

00:12:26.920 --> 00:12:29.480
 It's a name that would be proclaimed and revered.

00:12:29.580 --> 00:12:30.400
 God will do it.

00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.600
 He will proclaim the name of David throughout the land.

00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.120
 Second, God promised David a place.

00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:37.820
 Verse 10,

00:12:38.780 --> 00:12:42.019
 I will appoint a place for my people Israel

00:12:42.019 --> 00:12:45.180
 and will plant them so they may dwell in their own place

00:12:45.180 --> 00:12:47.139
 and be disturbed no more.

00:12:47.139 --> 00:12:51.019
 So God promised Israel with David as their appointed leader,

00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:52.419
 their own land.

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:53.699
 He promised them a place,

00:12:53.819 --> 00:12:56.740
 so a proclaimed name and a place,

00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:58.439
 and within that place,

00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.779
 third, God promised David protection.

00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.039
 Promised David protection.

00:13:04.199 --> 00:13:05.159
 Verses 10 and 11,

00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:06.100
 God says,

00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:08.439
 Israel will be disturbed no more.

00:13:09.220 --> 00:13:13.220
 Violent men shall afflict them no more as formerly.

00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:14.039
 Verse 11,

00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:16.919
 I will give you rest from all your enemies.

00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:18.539
 So this was a promise,

00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:18.899
 you see,

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:21.360
 of peace and protection.

00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:25.699
 God's people were no strangers to war.

00:13:25.819 --> 00:13:27.500
 They were no strangers to attack.

00:13:27.620 --> 00:13:29.439
 They had enemies on every side.

00:13:29.779 --> 00:13:31.199
 But here God promises,

00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:34.120
 I'm going to bring you into a place

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.319
 and I'm going to protect you from every enemy.

00:13:38.439 --> 00:13:39.580
 And so far,

00:13:39.659 --> 00:13:40.720
 if you know your Old Testament,

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.080
 none of this is new.

00:13:42.700 --> 00:13:44.759
 And this is all recap.

00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.480
 This is God rehashing old promises

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.980
 that he's already made to Abraham and to Moses.

00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:53.399
 He's simply reiterating his promises,

00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:53.720
 saying,

00:13:53.860 --> 00:13:56.659
 I have not forgotten about my covenant.

00:13:57.580 --> 00:14:00.700
 But as you read through the Old Testament,

00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.139
 from Genesis all the way on,

00:14:03.179 --> 00:14:05.139
 and you see God's plan unfold,

00:14:05.299 --> 00:14:08.980
 it's like that lens is getting a little more focused.

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:11.500
 And so what was blurry at the beginning

00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:13.800
 is becoming a little more defined,

00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:17.080
 and we're seeing more and more clearly

00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:21.639
 how these promises will be fulfilled.

00:14:21.800 --> 00:14:23.180
 And so here in verse 12,

00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:24.899
 we get something new.

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.539
 We get something new.

00:14:28.740 --> 00:14:29.460
 He promises,

00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:30.300
 fourth,

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.220
 a perpetual kingdom.

00:14:33.220 --> 00:14:36.700
 A perpetual kingdom.

00:14:37.379 --> 00:14:38.060
 Look there again,

00:14:38.139 --> 00:14:39.060
 starting in verse 12.

00:14:39.980 --> 00:14:40.779
 He says to David,

00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:42.360
 When your days are fulfilled

00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:44.019
 and you lie down with your fathers,

00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:47.420
 I will raise up your offspring after you,

00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:49.259
 who shall come from your body,

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:51.740
 and I will establish his kingdom.

00:14:51.940 --> 00:14:53.980
 He shall build a house for my name,

00:14:54.040 --> 00:14:54.700
 and get this,

00:14:55.180 --> 00:15:00.160
 I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:04.639
 This is a promise of a forever kingdom,

00:15:04.779 --> 00:15:06.539
 a perpetual kingdom.

00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:12.579
 David would have offspring to sit on his throne forever.

00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:18.419
 Now, from the time this promise was made,

00:15:19.219 --> 00:15:22.539
 every Israelite who knew of this promise

00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:24.980
 was on the edge of their seat,

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:27.860
 just waiting and wondering,

00:15:28.079 --> 00:15:29.199
 who will it be?

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.140
 Even as Isaiah spoke these words,

00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:35.140
 they were waiting to be brought into their own land.

00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.520
 They were waiting to go under the reign of this promised king.

00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:40.759
 David was long gone.

00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:41.780
 When will he come?

00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:43.900
 When will this promised king come?

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.980
 When will this promise be fulfilled?

00:15:46.140 --> 00:15:47.860
 When will the king come and reign forever?

00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.980
 Three times he says that word forever.

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:53.940
 I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:57.020
 Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever.

00:15:57.019 --> 00:15:59.460
 Your throne shall be established forever.

00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:01.259
 But all these kings keep dying.

00:16:02.439 --> 00:16:03.919
 All of these sons of David,

00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:04.939
 they live,

00:16:05.259 --> 00:16:05.799
 they reign.

00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:07.419
 David reigned 40 years,

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:09.059
 and then he died.

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:11.419
 Solomon reigned 40 years,

00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:13.639
 and then he died.

00:16:13.740 --> 00:16:15.179
 Is it Rehoboam?

00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:16.279
 Is it Abijah?

00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:17.759
 Is it King Asa?

00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:19.779
 Every king from the line of David

00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:21.439
 had all eyes on him.

00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:22.299
 Imagine that pressure.

00:16:22.299 --> 00:16:24.959
 Will this be the one?

00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:26.319
 When will the king come?

00:16:26.479 --> 00:16:29.719
 When will this promise be fulfilled?

00:16:31.179 --> 00:16:34.759
 And then the pages of the Old Testament close.

00:16:36.079 --> 00:16:40.639
 The promise is still sitting out there in the air.

00:16:41.500 --> 00:16:43.539
 There's 400 years of silence.

00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:44.179
 Did you know that?

00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:46.979
 400 years of silence between the Old Testament

00:16:46.979 --> 00:16:48.399
 and the New Testament.

00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:49.120
 And all the while,

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.679
 the people of Israel are waiting

00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:51.860
 and wondering,

00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:53.360
 who will this king be?

00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:55.039
 When will he come to reign?

00:16:56.560 --> 00:16:58.139
 And then the page flips.

00:16:59.259 --> 00:17:01.060
 In the first verse,

00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:03.200
 of the first chapter,

00:17:03.560 --> 00:17:05.079
 of the first book,

00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:06.380
 of the New Testament,

00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:07.599
 Matthew 1.1,

00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.439
 goes like this.

00:17:11.579 --> 00:17:15.359
 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ,

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:17.019
 the son of David,

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:19.959
 the son of Abraham.

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.199
 See, this covenant love was promised to David

00:17:25.199 --> 00:17:27.859
 and it was fulfilled, second,

00:17:28.159 --> 00:17:31.679
 it was fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:37.400
 Jesus Christ is the promised son of David.

00:17:38.340 --> 00:17:39.660
 And the New Testament writers,

00:17:39.779 --> 00:17:41.519
 they understood this

00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:43.259
 and so they wanted to make sure,

00:17:43.360 --> 00:17:45.019
 they made a big deal about making sure

00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:47.060
 we understand that Jesus Christ

00:17:47.060 --> 00:17:49.340
 is the son of David.

00:17:49.460 --> 00:17:49.799
 Why?

00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:52.820
 Because they want to be clear

00:17:52.820 --> 00:17:55.440
 that all of the promises made to Abraham,

00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.259
 all of the promises made to Moses,

00:17:58.259 --> 00:18:00.920
 all of the promises made to David,

00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.539
 they find their yes and amen

00:18:03.539 --> 00:18:06.000
 in Jesus Christ.

00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.480
 Church, why do we worship Jesus?

00:18:10.859 --> 00:18:12.779
 Why is Jesus not just

00:18:12.779 --> 00:18:15.000
 one religious figure among many?

00:18:15.140 --> 00:18:18.059
 Why does he receive all of our worship,

00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:19.319
 all of our devotion?

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:21.519
 You may wonder what it is about this man

00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:22.619
 that we come together

00:18:22.619 --> 00:18:24.599
 and we sing songs of worship to him

00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:25.759
 every single week.

00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:26.539
 We stand up here,

00:18:26.879 --> 00:18:28.000
 we open up his book,

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.660
 we read about his glory,

00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:30.660
 we read his word,

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:31.920
 we follow his leadership.

00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:33.960
 We talk a lot about Jesus.

00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:35.119
 Why?

00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.000
 It's because Jesus Christ

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:39.579
 is the very center

00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:42.579
 of the fulfillment of the plan of God.

00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.279
 He is the fulfillment

00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.000
 of every promise of God.

00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:48.700
 If we want to know

00:18:48.700 --> 00:18:50.859
 whether God is true to his promises,

00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:52.160
 where do we look?

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.460
 We look to Jesus.

00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:58.440
 Think about these promises

00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:00.140
 that God made to David

00:19:00.140 --> 00:19:01.200
 with me for a moment.

00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.420
 God promised David a name

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:05.360
 that would be proclaimed,

00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:06.960
 but what is the name of David

00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.240
 compared to the name of Jesus?

00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:11.880
 God promised David a name

00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:13.299
 that would be proclaimed

00:19:13.299 --> 00:19:14.480
 throughout all the world,

00:19:14.579 --> 00:19:15.980
 but Philippians chapter 2,

00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:16.920
 it tells us this.

00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:18.960
 Although God,

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:21.019
 although Jesus was in the form

00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:22.019
 of God himself,

00:19:23.420 --> 00:19:25.500
 although Jesus was sinless,

00:19:25.580 --> 00:19:27.240
 he was perfect in every way,

00:19:27.320 --> 00:19:29.680
 although he deserved no punishment,

00:19:29.840 --> 00:19:30.539
 look what it says,

00:19:30.580 --> 00:19:32.180
 he humbled himself

00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:33.840
 by becoming obedient

00:19:33.840 --> 00:19:35.060
 to the death,

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:36.360
 to the point of death,

00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.360
 even death on a cross.

00:19:38.580 --> 00:19:39.000
 Therefore,

00:19:39.340 --> 00:19:41.880
 God has highly exalted him

00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:43.620
 and bestowed on him what?

00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:45.440
 The name

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.380
 that is above every name,

00:19:49.120 --> 00:19:51.600
 so that at the name of Jesus

00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:53.560
 every knee should bow

00:19:53.560 --> 00:19:54.680
 in heaven

00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:55.900
 and on earth

00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:57.180
 and under the earth

00:19:57.180 --> 00:19:58.920
 and every tongue confess

00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:01.600
 that Jesus Christ is Lord.

00:20:02.300 --> 00:20:02.980
 He's King.

00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:04.680
 He reigns.

00:20:05.040 --> 00:20:05.820
 He is Lord

00:20:05.820 --> 00:20:08.040
 to the glory of God the Father.

00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:08.300
 See,

00:20:08.540 --> 00:20:10.000
 the name of Jesus Christ

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:11.160
 will be proclaimed

00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:12.079
 throughout the world.

00:20:12.859 --> 00:20:13.980
 He is Lord.

00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:15.099
 He is King.

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:16.519
 He is God.

00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:18.900
 God promised David

00:20:18.900 --> 00:20:19.920
 and Israel

00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:21.200
 a place,

00:20:21.500 --> 00:20:22.900
 a promised land,

00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:23.440
 but guess what?

00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:24.599
 Jesus has also promised

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:25.619
 a place to reign.

00:20:26.099 --> 00:20:26.619
 What is it?

00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:29.259
 All of heaven and earth

00:20:29.259 --> 00:20:31.759
 is under his reign.

00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:32.759
 His reign is not limited

00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:33.940
 to one people,

00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:34.880
 one place,

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:35.819
 one time.

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:37.519
 He reigns over all.

00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:39.039
 Universally.

00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:40.680
 He is Lord of lords

00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:42.059
 and King of kings.

00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:42.359
 You see,

00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:43.319
 this promised land

00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:44.619
 is not just one patch

00:20:44.619 --> 00:20:46.240
 of dirt on the earth.

00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:49.619
 It is all of heaven

00:20:49.619 --> 00:20:50.659
 and earth,

00:20:51.500 --> 00:20:51.899
 renewed,

00:20:52.879 --> 00:20:53.619
 recreated,

00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.200
 restored under his reign.

00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:58.799
 We don't see that

00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:00.000
 in full right now,

00:21:00.059 --> 00:21:00.359
 do we?

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:02.059
 We don't see it

00:21:02.059 --> 00:21:03.059
 as it is,

00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:03.960
 but one day

00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:04.599
 we will.

00:21:05.299 --> 00:21:06.039
 One day,

00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:07.579
 all of heaven and earth

00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:08.480
 will be totally

00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:09.879
 under the reign

00:21:09.879 --> 00:21:10.940
 of Christ.

00:21:11.059 --> 00:21:11.759
 This is what we're

00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:12.779
 waiting for.

00:21:12.879 --> 00:21:13.920
 It has been promised.

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.019
 It has been purchased

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:16.859
 and one day,

00:21:17.019 --> 00:21:17.240
 church,

00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:18.399
 it will finally

00:21:18.399 --> 00:21:20.099
 come to pass.

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.059
 So until then,

00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:22.659
 what do we do?

00:21:23.619 --> 00:21:24.319
 We pray,

00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:26.039
 thy kingdom come,

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:27.920
 thy will be done

00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:29.299
 on earth,

00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:29.720
 as what?

00:21:29.779 --> 00:21:30.139
 Help me.

00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:32.300
 As it is in heaven.

00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:34.180
 What does that mean?

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:35.440
 That means totally,

00:21:35.740 --> 00:21:38.060
 totally and completely.

00:21:39.080 --> 00:21:39.940
 As Peter says,

00:21:40.120 --> 00:21:42.080
 according to his promises,

00:21:42.320 --> 00:21:43.500
 we are waiting,

00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:45.420
 waiting for new heavens

00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:46.600
 and new earth

00:21:46.600 --> 00:21:49.180
 where righteousness dwells.

00:21:50.780 --> 00:21:52.380
 In that place,

00:21:52.660 --> 00:21:54.360
 under his reign,

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:56.900
 there is protection.

00:21:57.820 --> 00:21:59.420
 God promised David protection.

00:21:59.420 --> 00:22:01.200
 God promised Israel protection.

00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:01.920
 Church,

00:22:02.019 --> 00:22:03.160
 we are safe

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:04.420
 in the hands

00:22:04.420 --> 00:22:05.759
 of our king.

00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:07.500
 One day,

00:22:07.580 --> 00:22:08.620
 we'll be totally free

00:22:08.620 --> 00:22:09.840
 from sickness

00:22:09.840 --> 00:22:11.300
 and death

00:22:11.300 --> 00:22:12.460
 and suffering.

00:22:12.600 --> 00:22:13.019
 One day,

00:22:13.060 --> 00:22:13.800
 we're not there yet.

00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:14.320
 One day,

00:22:14.580 --> 00:22:15.300
 that will come,

00:22:15.380 --> 00:22:16.600
 but even now,

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:17.640
 you can know victory

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:19.560
 over every greatest enemy,

00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:20.820
 every spiritual enemy.

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.380
 Those who are in Christ

00:22:22.380 --> 00:22:23.460
 are protected

00:22:23.460 --> 00:22:24.400
 totally

00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:25.240
 from all of our

00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:26.279
 greatest adversaries.

00:22:27.660 --> 00:22:28.560
 Here's what that means.

00:22:28.560 --> 00:22:29.080
 Christian,

00:22:29.420 --> 00:22:31.920
 if you belong to Jesus,

00:22:32.120 --> 00:22:33.240
 you are protected

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:35.120
 from the wrath of God

00:22:35.120 --> 00:22:36.120
 against your sin.

00:22:37.019 --> 00:22:37.620
 Amen?

00:22:39.820 --> 00:22:40.460
 Friend,

00:22:40.560 --> 00:22:42.560
 there is no greater enemy

00:22:42.560 --> 00:22:43.259
 to you

00:22:43.259 --> 00:22:45.140
 if you are outside of Christ,

00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:47.279
 if you do not belong

00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.000
 to the kingdom of Christ.

00:22:49.580 --> 00:22:50.840
 God is your enemy.

00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:54.339
 your sin is your enemy.

00:22:54.339 --> 00:22:56.899
 But our king has come,

00:22:57.099 --> 00:22:59.099
 and he has lived

00:22:59.099 --> 00:23:00.220
 in our place.

00:23:00.299 --> 00:23:01.359
 He has stood

00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:02.319
 in our place.

00:23:02.399 --> 00:23:03.299
 He lived perfectly

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:03.939
 where you and I

00:23:03.939 --> 00:23:05.939
 could never live perfectly,

00:23:05.939 --> 00:23:07.559
 so that all of our enemies

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:08.240
 of guilt

00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.699
 and condemnation

00:23:09.699 --> 00:23:11.359
 are wiped away forever.

00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:14.059
 Our king has died

00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:15.199
 in our place.

00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:16.099
 Friends,

00:23:16.159 --> 00:23:17.500
 so that the wrath of God

00:23:17.500 --> 00:23:18.439
 that was against us

00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:19.680
 because of our sin

00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:21.539
 is wiped away forever.

00:23:24.140 --> 00:23:24.740
 Church,

00:23:24.820 --> 00:23:25.200
 Christ,

00:23:25.340 --> 00:23:25.779
 our king,

00:23:25.860 --> 00:23:26.940
 came to crush

00:23:26.940 --> 00:23:27.840
 the power

00:23:27.840 --> 00:23:28.820
 of sin,

00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:29.680
 death,

00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:30.820
 and the devil.

00:23:31.259 --> 00:23:32.500
 Every spiritual enemy

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:33.299
 is defeated

00:23:33.299 --> 00:23:35.460
 by this reigning king.

00:23:35.539 --> 00:23:36.200
 If you belong

00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:37.120
 to his kingdom,

00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:39.100
 you are protected.

00:23:39.099 --> 00:23:41.839
 Why do we worship Jesus?

00:23:43.179 --> 00:23:44.299
 It's because

00:23:44.299 --> 00:23:46.019
 in him alone,

00:23:46.019 --> 00:23:47.539
 we're brought

00:23:47.539 --> 00:23:48.619
 into the kingdom

00:23:48.619 --> 00:23:49.759
 of God.

00:23:50.659 --> 00:23:52.339
 In him alone,

00:23:52.339 --> 00:23:53.079
 we know

00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:54.039
 the blessing

00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:55.500
 of this invitation

00:23:55.500 --> 00:23:56.459
 to come

00:23:56.459 --> 00:23:57.639
 and live

00:23:57.639 --> 00:23:58.759
 and have your soul

00:23:58.759 --> 00:23:59.519
 satisfied

00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:01.000
 and live forever

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:02.259
 with the goodness

00:24:02.259 --> 00:24:03.359
 of God.

00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:04.179
 Do you want freedom

00:24:04.179 --> 00:24:04.819
 from your sin?

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:09.599
 Do you want freedom

00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:10.279
 from the curse

00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:10.879
 of death?

00:24:12.439 --> 00:24:13.179
 Would you come

00:24:13.179 --> 00:24:13.740
 to Christ

00:24:13.740 --> 00:24:14.359
 and live?

00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:17.339
 Do you want freedom

00:24:17.339 --> 00:24:18.740
 from the guilt

00:24:18.740 --> 00:24:20.119
 that you have earned

00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:21.359
 for your sin?

00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:22.639
 Would you come

00:24:22.639 --> 00:24:24.559
 and listen diligently

00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:25.599
 and feast

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.419
 on the goodness

00:24:26.419 --> 00:24:27.200
 of God,

00:24:27.299 --> 00:24:28.220
 listen and trust

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:28.960
 his promises

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:30.119
 offered to you

00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:31.059
 this moment

00:24:31.059 --> 00:24:32.079
 in Christ,

00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:33.039
 given freely

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:34.859
 to any who would come

00:24:34.859 --> 00:24:36.339
 and submit themselves

00:24:36.339 --> 00:24:37.819
 to this reigning king

00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:40.599
 and you will live.

00:24:42.220 --> 00:24:43.720
 And unlike David

00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:45.920
 and Solomon

00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.180
 and every other king

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:49.519
 who came

00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:50.480
 and lived

00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:51.379
 and died

00:24:51.379 --> 00:24:52.399
 and then poof,

00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:53.159
 it was over,

00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:55.779
 King Jesus lives

00:24:55.779 --> 00:24:56.740
 and reigns forever.

00:24:58.500 --> 00:25:00.319
 Jesus rose

00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:01.740
 from the grave.

00:25:01.740 --> 00:25:04.099
 Why do we worship Jesus?

00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:05.859
 He is risen.

00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:08.339
 He reigns forever.

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:09.839
 He cannot die.

00:25:09.940 --> 00:25:11.740
 His reign cannot end.

00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:13.740
 Jesus is king forever.

00:25:13.980 --> 00:25:15.779
 Jesus inherits

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:17.920
 a perpetual kingdom.

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:21.059
 He is the forever king.

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:22.180
 I know it's not Christmas.

00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:23.680
 Everybody keeps telling me that.

00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:25.339
 Is the hallelujah chorus

00:25:25.339 --> 00:25:26.420
 not ringing in your ears?

00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:28.559
 King of kings

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:29.819
 and Lord of lords.

00:25:29.819 --> 00:25:30.799
 King of kings,

00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:31.700
 Lord of lords.

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:32.759
 King of kings,

00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:34.120
 Lord of lords.

00:25:34.259 --> 00:25:35.920
 And he shall reign

00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:36.940
 forever

00:25:36.940 --> 00:25:38.579
 and ever

00:25:38.579 --> 00:25:40.039
 and ever.

00:25:41.339 --> 00:25:42.500
 This is what Gabriel

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:43.240
 told Mary,

00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:44.299
 isn't it?

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:47.000
 Do not be afraid,

00:25:47.140 --> 00:25:47.380
 Mary,

00:25:48.059 --> 00:25:49.279
 for you have found

00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:50.160
 favor with God.

00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:52.039
 And behold,

00:25:52.140 --> 00:25:52.799
 you will conceive

00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:53.440
 in your womb

00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:54.319
 and bear a son

00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:55.839
 and you shall call

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:56.680
 his name Jesus.

00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:58.940
 He will be great.

00:25:58.940 --> 00:26:00.220
 It's an understatement.

00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:01.940
 And will be called

00:26:01.940 --> 00:26:03.180
 the son of the most high.

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:05.600
 And the Lord God

00:26:05.600 --> 00:26:06.779
 will give to him

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:07.779
 the throne

00:26:07.779 --> 00:26:09.059
 of his father,

00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:09.960
 David.

00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:11.920
 And he will reign

00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:13.140
 over the house

00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:13.720
 of Jacob

00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:14.680
 forever.

00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:16.580
 And of his kingdom,

00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:18.500
 there will be

00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:20.259
 no end.

00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:23.440
 exactly as God

00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:24.740
 had promised

00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:25.759
 to David.

00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:29.539
 But listen to this.

00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:32.680
 Christ came

00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:34.640
 and lived

00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:35.980
 and died

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:37.500
 and rose

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:39.420
 to share

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:40.519
 that love

00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:41.440
 of God

00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:43.279
 with the nations.

00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.960
 to scatter

00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:47.000
 abroad

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:47.799
 the love

00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:48.299
 of God

00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:49.099
 to any

00:26:49.099 --> 00:26:50.420
 who would come,

00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:52.319
 any who would hear,

00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:53.539
 any who would trust

00:26:53.539 --> 00:26:54.619
 in these promises

00:26:54.619 --> 00:26:55.759
 that God makes.

00:26:55.879 --> 00:26:56.359
 This love

00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:57.079
 was promised

00:26:57.079 --> 00:26:57.799
 to David.

00:26:58.160 --> 00:26:59.319
 It was fulfilled

00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:00.119
 in Christ.

00:27:00.259 --> 00:27:00.859
 And third,

00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:02.119
 it is now

00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:03.299
 given

00:27:03.299 --> 00:27:04.099
 freely

00:27:04.099 --> 00:27:05.920
 to the nations.

00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:07.779
 Look there

00:27:07.779 --> 00:27:08.240
 with me

00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:09.059
 again

00:27:09.059 --> 00:27:09.980
 back to our passage.

00:27:10.099 --> 00:27:11.079
 Isaiah 55

00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:12.460
 verses 4 and 5.

00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:14.339
 Verses 4 and 5.

00:27:19.180 --> 00:27:19.660
 Behold,

00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:20.319
 I made him

00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:20.839
 a witness

00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:21.980
 to the peoples,

00:27:22.420 --> 00:27:23.000
 a leader

00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:23.700
 and commander

00:27:23.700 --> 00:27:24.839
 that is not just

00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:25.519
 for the Jews,

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:26.879
 not just for one race,

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:28.379
 not just for one people,

00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:30.379
 but for the peoples.

00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:32.079
 Behold,

00:27:32.180 --> 00:27:32.899
 you shall call

00:27:32.899 --> 00:27:33.539
 a nation

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:36.000
 that you did not know

00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:37.160
 and a nation

00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:38.180
 that did not know you

00:27:38.180 --> 00:27:39.460
 shall run to you.

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:39.799
 Why?

00:27:40.259 --> 00:27:41.339
 Because of the Lord

00:27:41.339 --> 00:27:41.960
 your God

00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:43.079
 and of the Holy One

00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:43.799
 of Israel

00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:44.579
 for he

00:27:44.579 --> 00:27:46.159
 has glorified

00:27:46.159 --> 00:27:46.939
 you.

00:27:48.339 --> 00:27:48.939
 You know,

00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:49.659
 this was a

00:27:49.659 --> 00:27:50.539
 stumbling block

00:27:50.539 --> 00:27:51.419
 for the Jews.

00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:54.059
 This Jewish

00:27:54.059 --> 00:27:54.899
 Messiah,

00:27:56.059 --> 00:27:57.000
 this fulfillment

00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:58.159
 for a promise

00:27:58.159 --> 00:27:59.179
 made to a Jewish

00:27:59.179 --> 00:27:59.839
 king

00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:00.419
 on behalf

00:28:00.419 --> 00:28:01.619
 of Jewish people,

00:28:01.699 --> 00:28:02.379
 he's going to come

00:28:02.379 --> 00:28:03.179
 and he's going to reign

00:28:03.179 --> 00:28:03.899
 on behalf

00:28:03.899 --> 00:28:04.439
 of the Jews,

00:28:04.539 --> 00:28:04.779
 right?

00:28:05.919 --> 00:28:06.659
 He's creating

00:28:06.659 --> 00:28:07.559
 a forever kingdom

00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:09.079
 for the Jews,

00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:09.579
 right?

00:28:09.579 --> 00:28:11.419
 Absolutely,

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:12.159
 yes,

00:28:12.159 --> 00:28:14.480
 if they listen

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:15.960
 and trust

00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:16.659
 the promises

00:28:16.659 --> 00:28:17.480
 of God

00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:18.960
 fulfilled in

00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:19.980
 Jesus Christ,

00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:22.220
 but Christ

00:28:22.220 --> 00:28:23.379
 did not just

00:28:23.379 --> 00:28:24.819
 come for the Jews.

00:28:25.379 --> 00:28:25.919
 Praise God,

00:28:26.299 --> 00:28:27.279
 right?

00:28:27.439 --> 00:28:28.679
 He was made

00:28:28.679 --> 00:28:29.379
 a witness

00:28:29.379 --> 00:28:30.960
 to the peoples.

00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:33.879
 He was a leader

00:28:33.879 --> 00:28:35.199
 and a commander

00:28:35.199 --> 00:28:36.799
 for the peoples.

00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:37.000
 Gentiles.

00:28:37.879 --> 00:28:38.480
 Most of us

00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:38.879
 in the room

00:28:38.879 --> 00:28:40.019
 are not ethnically

00:28:40.019 --> 00:28:40.879
 Jewish.

00:28:41.399 --> 00:28:42.899
 We are Gentiles.

00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:45.259
 We are the nation

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:46.460
 that did not know

00:28:46.460 --> 00:28:47.119
 God.

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:48.559
 We are the peoples

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:49.500
 that were outside

00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:50.339
 of this covenant

00:28:50.339 --> 00:28:51.399
 love of God

00:28:51.399 --> 00:28:52.279
 that have now

00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:53.859
 been brought in

00:28:53.859 --> 00:28:55.220
 by the sheer love

00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:56.119
 and sheer grace

00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:56.559
 of God,

00:28:56.619 --> 00:28:57.379
 the sheer mercy

00:28:57.379 --> 00:28:57.879
 of God,

00:28:57.940 --> 00:28:59.059
 has brought us

00:28:59.059 --> 00:29:00.059
 as outsiders

00:29:00.059 --> 00:29:01.500
 into the family

00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:02.139
 of God

00:29:02.139 --> 00:29:03.139
 where we do

00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:04.200
 not belong.

00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:08.240
 Now here's where

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:09.280
 with the time

00:29:09.280 --> 00:29:09.920
 we have left

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:11.160
 I want to make

00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:11.780
 some application.

00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:12.600
 Okay?

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:15.520
 First,

00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:20.400
 do you realize

00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:21.300
 how loved you are

00:29:21.300 --> 00:29:21.900
 in Christ?

00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:25.740
 Do you realize

00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:27.240
 how loved

00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:28.240
 you are

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:29.180
 by God

00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:30.460
 in Christ?

00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:33.319
 I cannot think

00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:34.620
 of a more

00:29:34.620 --> 00:29:35.660
 powerful statement

00:29:35.660 --> 00:29:36.400
 of God's love

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:36.940
 than this.

00:29:38.120 --> 00:29:39.299
 God demonstrates

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:40.360
 His love for us

00:29:40.360 --> 00:29:41.100
 in that while

00:29:41.100 --> 00:29:42.160
 we were still

00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:42.519
 what?

00:29:43.579 --> 00:29:44.259
 Sinners.

00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:45.940
 Christ died

00:29:45.940 --> 00:29:46.600
 for us.

00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:48.340
 For us.

00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:49.960
 Who had

00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:51.140
 no claim

00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:51.640
 to Him

00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:52.500
 whatsoever.

00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:53.740
 We do not

00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:54.420
 belong

00:29:54.420 --> 00:29:55.700
 in this covenant.

00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:57.400
 We do not

00:29:57.400 --> 00:29:58.039
 belong

00:29:58.039 --> 00:29:58.700
 in this

00:29:58.700 --> 00:29:59.940
 love of God

00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:00.740
 for David

00:30:00.740 --> 00:30:02.000
 and for His

00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:02.500
 people.

00:30:02.620 --> 00:30:03.080
 We have no

00:30:03.080 --> 00:30:03.880
 claim to it

00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:04.640
 whatsoever.

00:30:05.700 --> 00:30:06.460
 But God

00:30:06.460 --> 00:30:07.120
 sent His

00:30:07.120 --> 00:30:07.920
 own Son

00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:09.140
 to die

00:30:09.140 --> 00:30:10.059
 to bring us

00:30:10.059 --> 00:30:11.279
 into His

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:11.720
 love

00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:12.519
 if we would

00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:13.420
 but listen

00:30:13.420 --> 00:30:14.360
 and find

00:30:14.360 --> 00:30:15.820
 soul satisfaction

00:30:15.820 --> 00:30:16.820
 in Him.

00:30:18.360 --> 00:30:19.200
 Do you know

00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:19.920
 how loved

00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:21.180
 you are

00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:23.019
 in Christ?

00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:24.759
 And how

00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:25.259
 totally

00:30:25.259 --> 00:30:26.279
 outside of

00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:26.740
 you

00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:27.460
 that love

00:30:27.460 --> 00:30:27.840
 is?

00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:29.839
 it's not

00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:30.339
 based on

00:30:30.339 --> 00:30:30.639
 you at

00:30:30.639 --> 00:30:30.980
 all.

00:30:31.879 --> 00:30:32.319
 It's not

00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:32.879
 based on

00:30:32.879 --> 00:30:33.740
 me at

00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:33.939
 all.

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:34.259
 It's not

00:30:34.259 --> 00:30:34.659
 dependent

00:30:34.659 --> 00:30:35.379
 on us

00:30:35.379 --> 00:30:36.339
 at all.

00:30:36.459 --> 00:30:36.959
 And because

00:30:36.959 --> 00:30:37.619
 He has

00:30:37.619 --> 00:30:38.240
 brought you

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:38.720
 in

00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:40.000
 and united

00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:40.919
 you to

00:30:40.919 --> 00:30:41.679
 His Son

00:30:41.679 --> 00:30:42.779
 by faith,

00:30:43.179 --> 00:30:43.759
 His love

00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:44.500
 for us,

00:30:44.579 --> 00:30:45.000
 His love

00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:45.699
 for you

00:30:45.699 --> 00:30:46.839
 is as sure

00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:47.599
 as His love

00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:48.179
 for Christ

00:30:48.179 --> 00:30:48.599
 Himself.

00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.219
 God can

00:30:52.219 --> 00:30:53.099
 no sooner

00:30:53.099 --> 00:30:53.740
 abandon

00:30:53.740 --> 00:30:54.519
 you,

00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:55.219
 believer,

00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:56.539
 than He

00:30:56.539 --> 00:30:57.179
 could abandon

00:30:57.179 --> 00:30:57.839
 His own

00:30:57.839 --> 00:30:58.219
 Son.

00:31:00.459 --> 00:31:01.480
 His love

00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:02.119
 for you

00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:04.159
 is steadfast.

00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:04.599
 It is

00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:05.859
 sure.

00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:06.859
 And we have

00:31:06.859 --> 00:31:07.819
 all of

00:31:07.819 --> 00:31:08.480
 eternity

00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:09.599
 to feast

00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:10.599
 our souls

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:11.439
 on the

00:31:11.439 --> 00:31:11.839
 depth

00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:12.519
 of that

00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:12.980
 love.

00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:15.179
 Second,

00:31:15.939 --> 00:31:16.719
 second

00:31:16.719 --> 00:31:17.279
 application.

00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:19.519
 when we

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:20.839
 grasp this,

00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:22.779
 when we

00:31:22.779 --> 00:31:23.399
 grasp that

00:31:23.399 --> 00:31:24.500
 unmerited,

00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:25.959
 undeserved

00:31:25.959 --> 00:31:27.279
 love of

00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:27.699
 God,

00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:28.639
 how freely

00:31:28.639 --> 00:31:29.240
 God has

00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:29.659
 opened up

00:31:29.659 --> 00:31:30.199
 His arms

00:31:30.199 --> 00:31:31.159
 and called

00:31:31.159 --> 00:31:31.899
 the nations

00:31:31.899 --> 00:31:32.799
 to Himself

00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:33.480
 including

00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:34.639
 little old

00:31:34.639 --> 00:31:35.199
 us,

00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:36.519
 how could

00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:37.279
 we resist

00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:37.959
 the privilege

00:31:37.959 --> 00:31:38.659
 of joining

00:31:38.659 --> 00:31:39.279
 Him in

00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:40.079
 His mission

00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:40.759
 to make

00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:41.919
 worshipers

00:31:41.919 --> 00:31:42.839
 out of all

00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:43.399
 the peoples

00:31:43.399 --> 00:31:44.119
 of the

00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:44.439
 earth?

00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:46.220
 God

00:31:46.220 --> 00:31:47.120
 is

00:31:47.120 --> 00:31:47.480
 we spoke

00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:47.900
 last

00:31:47.900 --> 00:31:48.700
 Sunday

00:31:48.700 --> 00:31:49.059
 morning

00:31:49.059 --> 00:31:49.320
 and then

00:31:49.320 --> 00:31:49.660
 again

00:31:49.660 --> 00:31:50.380
 last Sunday

00:31:50.380 --> 00:31:50.700
 evening

00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:53.519
 about the

00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:54.279
 privilege

00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:55.059
 and the

00:31:55.059 --> 00:31:55.460
 task

00:31:55.460 --> 00:31:55.779
 of

00:31:55.779 --> 00:31:57.200
 evangelism,

00:31:57.980 --> 00:31:58.420
 sharing

00:31:58.420 --> 00:31:59.019
 the gospel,

00:31:59.200 --> 00:31:59.460
 sharing

00:31:59.460 --> 00:32:00.259
 the good

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:00.559
 news,

00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:01.059
 extending

00:32:01.059 --> 00:32:01.920
 this invitation

00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:02.600
 to all

00:32:02.600 --> 00:32:03.400
 who don't

00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:03.920
 know the

00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:04.200
 goodness

00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:05.160
 of God.

00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:05.420
 And we

00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:05.820
 talked about

00:32:05.820 --> 00:32:06.620
 several reasons

00:32:06.620 --> 00:32:07.160
 why maybe

00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:08.360
 we hesitate

00:32:08.360 --> 00:32:08.940
 to share

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:09.440
 the gospel,

00:32:09.600 --> 00:32:09.940
 maybe we

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:10.680
 don't share

00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:11.180
 the gospel

00:32:11.180 --> 00:32:11.920
 at all.

00:32:12.360 --> 00:32:12.660
 Several

00:32:12.660 --> 00:32:13.080
 reasons

00:32:13.080 --> 00:32:13.660
 were mentioned.

00:32:14.080 --> 00:32:14.440
 I see

00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:14.940
 two here

00:32:14.940 --> 00:32:15.220
 in this

00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:15.620
 passage.

00:32:15.800 --> 00:32:16.140
 One,

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:17.120
 we don't

00:32:17.120 --> 00:32:17.880
 grasp God's

00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:18.259
 love for

00:32:18.259 --> 00:32:18.560
 us.

00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:21.100
 We don't

00:32:21.100 --> 00:32:22.800
 grasp it,

00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:23.980
 how free,

00:32:24.460 --> 00:32:25.560
 how undeserving,

00:32:25.779 --> 00:32:27.240
 how satisfying

00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:28.340
 His love

00:32:28.340 --> 00:32:29.279
 is for

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:29.540
 sinners.

00:32:30.620 --> 00:32:31.279
 And two,

00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:33.000
 we don't

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:33.740
 share God's

00:32:33.740 --> 00:32:34.220
 love for

00:32:34.220 --> 00:32:34.640
 others.

00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:37.480
 We don't

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:38.640
 share God's

00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:39.860
 love for

00:32:39.860 --> 00:32:40.180
 others.

00:32:40.259 --> 00:32:40.640
 Why don't

00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:41.259
 we share

00:32:41.259 --> 00:32:41.800
 the gospel?

00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:42.579
 Because we

00:32:42.579 --> 00:32:43.119
 have not

00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:43.899
 synced up

00:32:43.899 --> 00:32:44.579
 our heart

00:32:44.579 --> 00:32:45.519
 with God's.

00:32:47.019 --> 00:32:48.019
 God intends

00:32:48.019 --> 00:32:48.579
 to make

00:32:48.579 --> 00:32:49.639
 worshipers out

00:32:49.639 --> 00:32:50.619
 of all

00:32:50.619 --> 00:32:51.319
 the peoples

00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:51.940
 of the

00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:52.240
 earth,

00:32:52.339 --> 00:32:53.019
 and He

00:32:53.019 --> 00:32:53.879
 will do

00:32:53.879 --> 00:32:54.159
 it.

00:32:54.819 --> 00:32:55.139
 And He

00:32:55.139 --> 00:32:56.240
 will maximize

00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:57.240
 the fame

00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:58.000
 of Christ,

00:32:58.119 --> 00:32:58.819
 His glory

00:32:58.819 --> 00:32:59.599
 among the

00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:00.000
 nations.

00:33:00.159 --> 00:33:00.480
 And how

00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:00.659
 is He

00:33:00.659 --> 00:33:00.839
 going to

00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:01.180
 do it,

00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:01.559
 church?

00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:02.720
 Through

00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:04.079
 us.

00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:06.079
 He does

00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:07.019
 it through

00:33:07.019 --> 00:33:08.399
 the church.

00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:09.620
 those who

00:33:09.620 --> 00:33:10.600
 have known

00:33:10.600 --> 00:33:10.940
 this

00:33:10.940 --> 00:33:12.000
 steadfast love

00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:12.660
 of God

00:33:12.660 --> 00:33:13.500
 will share

00:33:13.500 --> 00:33:13.800
 it with

00:33:13.800 --> 00:33:15.120
 others so

00:33:15.120 --> 00:33:15.620
 that all

00:33:15.620 --> 00:33:16.040
 the peoples

00:33:16.040 --> 00:33:16.340
 of the

00:33:16.340 --> 00:33:16.900
 world will

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:17.900
 join in

00:33:17.900 --> 00:33:18.519
 worship.

00:33:18.860 --> 00:33:19.300
 We will

00:33:19.300 --> 00:33:20.280
 be satisfied,

00:33:20.820 --> 00:33:21.340
 He will

00:33:21.340 --> 00:33:22.759
 be glorified.

00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:23.360
 That's the

00:33:23.360 --> 00:33:23.840
 mission of

00:33:23.840 --> 00:33:24.400
 the church.

00:33:25.540 --> 00:33:26.240
 That's what

00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:26.920
 we're here to

00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:27.140
 do.

00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:27.580
 Did you know

00:33:27.580 --> 00:33:27.940
 that?

00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:29.160
 We're here to

00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:30.019
 be satisfied

00:33:30.019 --> 00:33:30.880
 in Him and

00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:31.759
 to share

00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:32.460
 that soul

00:33:32.460 --> 00:33:33.500
 satisfying feast

00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:34.120
 with any

00:33:34.120 --> 00:33:34.740
 who would

00:33:34.740 --> 00:33:35.140
 come.

00:33:35.140 --> 00:33:36.080
 And here,

00:33:36.180 --> 00:33:36.800
 our mission

00:33:36.800 --> 00:33:37.759
 is to fill

00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:38.600
 the earth

00:33:38.600 --> 00:33:39.640
 with worship.

00:33:39.820 --> 00:33:40.280
 And Isaiah

00:33:40.280 --> 00:33:40.740
 says,

00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:41.880
 as Christ

00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:43.200
 through us

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:44.259
 opens up

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:44.980
 His word,

00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:46.160
 extends this

00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:47.020
 invitation to

00:33:47.020 --> 00:33:47.880
 come,

00:33:48.280 --> 00:33:48.960
 to turn from

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:49.480
 your idols,

00:33:49.620 --> 00:33:50.380
 to come,

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:51.300
 to turn to

00:33:51.300 --> 00:33:51.500
 me,

00:33:51.580 --> 00:33:52.400
 to listen to

00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:52.520
 me,

00:33:52.560 --> 00:33:53.120
 to come

00:33:53.120 --> 00:33:53.680
 that your

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:54.220
 soul might

00:33:54.220 --> 00:33:54.540
 live,

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:54.980
 come,

00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:56.000
 be satisfied

00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:56.620
 in me.

00:33:56.800 --> 00:33:57.160
 He says,

00:33:57.220 --> 00:33:57.680
 the nations

00:33:57.680 --> 00:33:58.680
 will run

00:33:58.680 --> 00:33:59.960
 with urgency

00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:01.200
 and joy

00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:01.840
 to their

00:34:01.840 --> 00:34:02.320
 king.

00:34:03.780 --> 00:34:04.300
 Church,

00:34:04.299 --> 00:34:05.180
 this is why

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:06.279
 we go

00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:07.220
 to the

00:34:07.220 --> 00:34:07.680
 uttermost

00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:08.079
 ends of

00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:08.519
 the world.

00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:10.719
 This is a

00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:11.519
 promise for

00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:12.500
 all

00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:13.779
 peoples.

00:34:16.420 --> 00:34:16.860
 Do you

00:34:16.860 --> 00:34:17.900
 desire for

00:34:17.900 --> 00:34:18.219
 the name

00:34:18.219 --> 00:34:18.659
 of Christ

00:34:18.659 --> 00:34:18.940
 to be

00:34:18.940 --> 00:34:19.199
 known?

00:34:21.340 --> 00:34:22.039
 Where it

00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:22.619
 has not

00:34:22.619 --> 00:34:23.659
 been named

00:34:23.659 --> 00:34:24.259
 before?

00:34:25.900 --> 00:34:26.279
 Do you

00:34:26.279 --> 00:34:27.179
 desire for

00:34:27.179 --> 00:34:28.360
 God to be

00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:29.440
 glorified where

00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:30.279
 He is not

00:34:30.279 --> 00:34:31.340
 worshipped as

00:34:31.340 --> 00:34:31.940
 He deserves?

00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:32.259
 Do you

00:34:32.259 --> 00:34:32.920
 desire for

00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:33.239
 those who

00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:34.539
 are perishing

00:34:34.539 --> 00:34:35.459
 throughout the

00:34:35.459 --> 00:34:36.339
 world to

00:34:36.339 --> 00:34:37.019
 hear the

00:34:37.019 --> 00:34:37.619
 good news

00:34:37.619 --> 00:34:38.459
 of Christ

00:34:38.459 --> 00:34:40.059
 and to

00:34:40.059 --> 00:34:40.679
 believe

00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:41.619
 that they

00:34:41.619 --> 00:34:42.179
 can know

00:34:42.179 --> 00:34:43.439
 God and

00:34:43.439 --> 00:34:43.979
 live?

00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:44.299
 Do you

00:34:44.299 --> 00:34:45.199
 see the

00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:45.739
 world with

00:34:45.739 --> 00:34:47.139
 that vision?

00:34:49.479 --> 00:34:50.219
 I remember

00:34:50.219 --> 00:34:50.919
 when I bought

00:34:50.919 --> 00:34:51.659
 my first pair

00:34:51.659 --> 00:34:52.099
 of polarized

00:34:52.099 --> 00:34:52.799
 sunglasses

00:34:52.799 --> 00:34:54.899
 and before

00:34:54.899 --> 00:34:55.379
 that I was

00:34:55.379 --> 00:34:55.719
 just using

00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:56.719
 whatever cheap

00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:57.219
 pair of

00:34:57.219 --> 00:34:57.659
 glasses I

00:34:57.659 --> 00:34:58.019
 could find

00:34:58.019 --> 00:34:58.259
 at the

00:34:58.259 --> 00:34:58.519
 store.

00:34:58.619 --> 00:34:58.639
 It

00:34:58.639 --> 00:34:58.719
 didn't

00:34:58.719 --> 00:34:58.979
 matter

00:34:58.979 --> 00:34:59.379
 too much

00:34:59.379 --> 00:34:59.819
 to me.

00:34:59.820 --> 00:35:00.620
 But then

00:35:00.620 --> 00:35:00.960
 I bought

00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:01.500
 a real

00:35:01.500 --> 00:35:02.080
 pair of

00:35:02.080 --> 00:35:03.200
 polarized

00:35:03.200 --> 00:35:04.059
 lenses

00:35:04.059 --> 00:35:04.480
 polarized

00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:05.080
 glasses

00:35:05.080 --> 00:35:05.320
 with

00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:05.860
 tinted

00:35:05.860 --> 00:35:06.300
 shade

00:35:06.300 --> 00:35:06.720
 lenses

00:35:06.720 --> 00:35:07.960
 and they

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:08.360
 came and

00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:08.620
 I put

00:35:08.620 --> 00:35:09.100
 them on

00:35:09.100 --> 00:35:09.900
 and let

00:35:09.900 --> 00:35:10.120
 me tell

00:35:10.120 --> 00:35:10.300
 you it

00:35:10.300 --> 00:35:10.500
 was a

00:35:10.500 --> 00:35:11.039
 game changer.

00:35:12.380 --> 00:35:13.200
 Details that

00:35:13.200 --> 00:35:13.559
 I hadn't

00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:14.460
 noticed before

00:35:14.460 --> 00:35:15.360
 were brought

00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:15.980
 to life

00:35:15.980 --> 00:35:16.460
 is like I

00:35:16.460 --> 00:35:17.000
 saw the

00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:17.640
 world in a

00:35:17.640 --> 00:35:18.600
 whole new

00:35:18.600 --> 00:35:19.559
 way.

00:35:20.600 --> 00:35:20.840
 You know

00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:21.140
 that's how

00:35:21.140 --> 00:35:21.519
 it is when

00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:21.820
 we come

00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:22.120
 into the

00:35:22.120 --> 00:35:22.360
 kingdom.

00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:24.920
 we begin

00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:25.860
 to see

00:35:25.860 --> 00:35:26.519
 the world

00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:28.140
 with kingdom

00:35:28.140 --> 00:35:29.260
 tinted

00:35:29.260 --> 00:35:30.140
 shades.

00:35:31.220 --> 00:35:31.700
 This is

00:35:31.700 --> 00:35:32.880
 what Paul

00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.880
 says in

00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:34.680
 2 Corinthians

00:35:34.680 --> 00:35:35.180
 he says

00:35:35.180 --> 00:35:35.599
 this

00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:38.059
 from now

00:35:38.059 --> 00:35:38.360
 on

00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:38.720
 therefore

00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:39.740
 we regard

00:35:39.740 --> 00:35:40.460
 no one

00:35:40.460 --> 00:35:41.120
 according to

00:35:41.120 --> 00:35:41.599
 the flesh

00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:41.920
 that's what

00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:42.240
 we used

00:35:42.240 --> 00:35:42.559
 to do

00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:44.599
 even though

00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:45.280
 we once

00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:45.640
 regarded

00:35:45.640 --> 00:35:46.220
 Christ

00:35:46.220 --> 00:35:46.940
 according to

00:35:46.940 --> 00:35:47.400
 the flesh

00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:47.920
 we regard

00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:48.440
 him thus

00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:49.120
 no longer

00:35:49.120 --> 00:35:50.539
 therefore

00:35:50.539 --> 00:35:51.200
 if anyone

00:35:51.200 --> 00:35:52.019
 is in

00:35:52.019 --> 00:35:52.539
 Christ

00:35:52.539 --> 00:35:53.079
 he is a

00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:53.440
 new

00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:54.199
 creation

00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:54.759
 the old

00:35:54.759 --> 00:35:55.059
 that's

00:35:55.059 --> 00:35:55.920
 passed away

00:35:55.920 --> 00:35:56.500
 behold

00:35:56.500 --> 00:35:57.519
 the new

00:35:57.519 --> 00:35:58.159
 has come

00:35:58.159 --> 00:35:59.759
 all this

00:35:59.759 --> 00:36:00.199
 is from

00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:00.559
 God

00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:00.780
 who

00:36:00.780 --> 00:36:01.360
 through

00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:01.960
 Christ

00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:03.199
 reconciled

00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:03.519
 us

00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:04.480
 to himself

00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:05.800
 and gave

00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:06.480
 us

00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:07.460
 the ministry

00:36:07.460 --> 00:36:08.119
 of

00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:08.960
 reconciliation

00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:10.099
 that is

00:36:10.099 --> 00:36:11.679
 in Christ

00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:12.360
 God

00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:13.619
 was reconciling

00:36:13.619 --> 00:36:14.300
 the world

00:36:14.300 --> 00:36:15.199
 to himself

00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:16.780
 not counting

00:36:16.780 --> 00:36:17.639
 their trespasses

00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:18.880
 against them

00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:19.960
 and entrusting

00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:20.480
 to

00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:21.480
 us

00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:21.980
 church

00:36:21.980 --> 00:36:23.699
 the ministry

00:36:23.699 --> 00:36:24.539
 of

00:36:24.539 --> 00:36:25.400
 reconciliation

00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:27.679
 therefore

00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:28.440
 we are

00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:29.240
 ambassadors

00:36:29.240 --> 00:36:29.860
 for

00:36:29.860 --> 00:36:30.420
 Christ

00:36:30.420 --> 00:36:31.420
 God

00:36:31.420 --> 00:36:31.760
 making

00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:31.960
 his

00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:32.420
 appeal

00:36:32.420 --> 00:36:33.219
 through

00:36:33.219 --> 00:36:34.019
 us

00:36:34.019 --> 00:36:34.679
 calling

00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:35.099
 the

00:36:35.099 --> 00:36:35.619
 nations

00:36:35.619 --> 00:36:36.260
 through

00:36:36.260 --> 00:36:37.039
 us

00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:37.260
 we

00:36:37.260 --> 00:36:37.880
 implore

00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:38.179
 you

00:36:38.179 --> 00:36:38.380
 on

00:36:38.380 --> 00:36:38.840
 behalf

00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:39.039
 of

00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:39.440
 Christ

00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:39.960
 be

00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:41.420
 reconciled

00:36:41.420 --> 00:36:42.139
 to

00:36:42.139 --> 00:36:42.719
 God

00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:46.219
 you see

00:36:46.219 --> 00:36:46.539
 when we

00:36:46.539 --> 00:36:46.980
 come into

00:36:46.980 --> 00:36:47.440
 the kingdom

00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:47.960
 of God

00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:48.480
 we begin

00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:49.139
 to see

00:36:49.139 --> 00:36:49.840
 the world

00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:50.980
 differently

00:36:50.980 --> 00:36:51.600
 it's not

00:36:51.600 --> 00:36:52.019
 about

00:36:52.019 --> 00:36:52.579
 us

00:39:16.179 --> 00:39:16.539
 the past

00:39:16.539 --> 00:39:16.759
 few

00:39:16.759 --> 00:39:17.059
 years

00:39:17.059 --> 00:39:17.299
 have

 the

00:39:20.179 --> 00:39:20.679
 language

00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:21.039
 they've

00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:21.279
 become

00:39:21.279 --> 00:39:21.879
 fluent

 Malayali

00:39:23.099 --> 00:39:23.679
 language

00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:23.980
 and the

 Malayali

00:39:24.579 --> 00:39:25.480
 culture

00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:26.279
 to

00:39:26.279 --> 00:39:26.819
 second

00:39:26.819 --> 00:39:28.119
 to develop

00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:29.019
 an alphabet

00:39:29.019 --> 00:39:29.980
 in their

00:39:29.980 --> 00:39:30.419
 unwritten

00:39:30.419 --> 00:39:31.099
 language

00:39:31.099 --> 00:39:32.099
 language

00:39:32.099 --> 00:39:32.380
 they

00:39:32.380 --> 00:39:32.579
 they don't

00:39:32.579 --> 00:39:32.839
 have

00:39:32.839 --> 00:39:33.019
 a

00:39:33.019 --> 00:39:33.299
 written

00:39:33.299 --> 00:39:34.059
 language

00:39:34.059 --> 00:39:34.259
 they

00:39:34.259 --> 00:39:34.440
 have

00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:34.599
 a

00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:35.079
 spoken

00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:35.759
 language

00:39:35.759 --> 00:39:35.980
 they

00:39:35.980 --> 00:39:36.480
 learned

00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:36.719
 the

00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:37.119
 language

00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:37.480
 through

00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:37.719
 their

00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:38.199
 ears

00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:38.799
 they're

00:39:38.799 --> 00:39:39.759
 formulating

00:39:39.759 --> 00:39:40.619
 an alphabet

00:39:40.619 --> 00:39:41.559
 a

00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:41.900
 written

00:39:41.900 --> 00:39:42.619
 language

00:39:42.619 --> 00:39:42.940
 and they

00:39:42.940 --> 00:39:43.299
 desire

00:39:43.299 --> 00:39:43.940
 to teach

00:39:43.940 --> 00:39:44.239
 them

00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:45.039
 to read

00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:45.500
 and to

00:39:45.500 --> 00:39:45.860
 write

00:39:45.860 --> 00:39:46.380
 in their

00:39:46.380 --> 00:39:46.699
 own

00:39:46.699 --> 00:39:47.239
 language

00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:49.079
 so these

00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:49.559
 missionaries

00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:49.960
 they've

00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:50.299
 gone

00:39:50.299 --> 00:39:51.400
 to understand

00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:51.599
 their

00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:52.039
 language

00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:52.440
 with a

00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:52.739
 purpose

00:39:52.739 --> 00:39:53.019
 that they

00:39:53.019 --> 00:39:53.159
 can

00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:53.519
 write

00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:53.659
 it

00:39:53.659 --> 00:39:53.920
 so they

00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:54.099
 can

00:39:54.099 --> 00:39:54.599
 communicate

00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:54.860
 with

00:39:54.860 --> 00:39:55.019
 these

00:39:55.019 --> 00:39:55.360
 people

00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:55.679
 in their

00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:55.980
 own

00:39:55.980 --> 00:39:56.460
 language

00:39:56.460 --> 00:39:56.839
 so they're

00:39:56.839 --> 00:39:57.400
 teaching

00:39:57.400 --> 00:39:58.179
 literacy

00:39:58.179 --> 00:39:58.839
 classes

00:39:58.839 --> 00:39:59.419
 there

00:39:59.419 --> 00:40:00.219
 why

00:40:00.219 --> 00:40:01.960
 why

00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:03.279
 so they

00:40:03.279 --> 00:40:03.699
 can read

00:40:03.699 --> 00:40:06.119
 so that

00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:06.460
 they will

00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:06.940
 one day

00:40:06.940 --> 00:40:07.339
 be able

00:40:07.339 --> 00:40:07.859
 to read

00:40:07.859 --> 00:40:08.259
 God's

00:40:08.259 --> 00:40:08.480
 word

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:08.679
 for

00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:09.119
 themselves

00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:09.500
 in their

00:40:09.500 --> 00:40:09.759
 own

00:40:09.759 --> 00:40:10.039
 native

00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:10.419
 tongue

00:40:10.419 --> 00:40:12.579
 see these

00:40:12.579 --> 00:40:13.099
 missionaries

00:40:13.099 --> 00:40:13.579
 won't last

00:40:13.579 --> 00:40:13.940
 forever

00:40:13.940 --> 00:40:15.919
 they will

00:40:15.919 --> 00:40:16.259
 come

00:40:16.259 --> 00:40:17.419
 they will

00:40:17.419 --> 00:40:17.779
 die

00:40:17.779 --> 00:40:19.199
 God's

00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:19.659
 word

00:40:19.659 --> 00:40:20.379
 will last

00:40:20.379 --> 00:40:21.159
 forever

00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:21.639
 so they've

00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:21.960
 come

00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:23.179
 to formulate

00:40:23.179 --> 00:40:23.940
 a language

00:40:23.940 --> 00:40:24.539
 formulate

00:40:24.539 --> 00:40:25.139
 an alphabet

00:40:25.139 --> 00:40:25.719
 teach them

00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:26.039
 how to

00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:26.339
 read

00:40:26.339 --> 00:40:26.639
 so that

00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:26.919
 they can

00:40:26.919 --> 00:40:27.379
 read

00:40:27.379 --> 00:40:27.559
 and

00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:27.980
 understand

00:40:27.980 --> 00:40:28.599
 God's

00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:28.860
 word

00:40:28.860 --> 00:40:29.219
 in their

00:40:29.219 --> 00:40:29.579
 own

00:40:29.940 --> 00:40:30.320
 tongue

00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:31.079
 so third

00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:32.099
 they're

00:40:32.099 --> 00:40:32.420
 working

00:40:32.420 --> 00:40:32.639

00:40:35.179 --> 00:40:35.860

00:40:35.860 --> 00:40:38.420
 and make

00:40:38.420 --> 00:40:38.880
 an alphabet

 for

00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:43.940
 this

00:40:43.940 --> 00:40:44.480
 one
