00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.759
 Isn't that a lot? And we're going to read it, but not all of it.

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:20.740
 1 Kings, chapter 1, I think page 334. Is that right? 334, 1 Kings.

00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:29.219
 So it starts with a character we've probably all heard of, David.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.000
 Amen.

00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:49.920
 So let's hear God's word together. 1 Kings, chapter 1, starting at verse 1.

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:59.039
 When King David was very old, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him.

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:04.679
 So his attendant said to him, let us look for a young virgin to serve the king and take care of him.

00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:09.620
 She can lie beside him so that our Lord the king may keep warm.

00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:17.840
 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman and found Abishag a Shunammite and brought her to the king.

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.840
 The woman was very beautiful. She took care of the king and waited on him.

00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:25.400
 But the king had no sexual relations with her.

00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:32.680
 Now Adonijah, whose mother was Aga, put himself forward and said, I will be king.

00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:37.880
 So he got chariots and horses ready with fifty men to run ahead of him.

00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:43.740
 His father had never rebuked him by asking, why do you behave as you do?

00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:48.000
 He was also very handsome and was born next after Absalom.

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:57.859
 Adonijah conferred with Joab, son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they gave him their support.

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:12.240
 But Zadok the priest, Baniah, son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Ray, and David's special guard, did not join Adonijah.

00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:20.840
 Adonijah then sacrificed sheep, cattle, and fattened calves at the zone of Zahalath near Rogel.

00:02:21.980 --> 00:02:26.580
 He invited all his brothers, the king's son, and all the royal officials of Judah.

00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:36.160
 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, or Benaiah, or the special guard, or his brother Solomon.

00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.280
 Then Nathan said to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother,

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:48.759
 Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Agath, has become king, and our lord David knows nothing about it?

00:02:49.860 --> 00:02:55.199
 Now then, let me advise you how you can save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.

00:02:55.740 --> 00:02:58.500
 Go in to King David and say to him,

00:02:59.139 --> 00:03:02.740
 My lord the king, did you not swear to me, your servant,

00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:08.340
 Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne?

00:03:08.340 --> 00:03:12.219
 Why then has Adonijah become king?

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:19.819
 While you are still talking to the king, I will come in and add my word to what you have said.

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.020
 Now let's jump on to verse 28.

00:03:23.020 --> 00:03:26.939
 Then King David said,

00:03:27.420 --> 00:03:28.659
 Call in Bathsheba.

00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.920
 So she came into the king's presence and stood before him.

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:33.980
 The king then took an oath,

00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.020
 As surely as the Lord lives, who has delivered me out of every trouble,

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.600
 I will surely carry out this very day what I swore to you by the Lord, the God of Israel.

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.100
 Solomon your son shall be king after me,

00:03:47.099 --> 00:03:51.120
 And he will sit on my throne in my place.

00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:53.960
 Verse 38

00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.919
 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet,

00:03:59.459 --> 00:04:01.079
 Baniah son of Jehoiada,

00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:06.620
 And the Kerethites and the Pelethites went down and put Solomon on King David's mule,

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.319
 And they escorted him to Gihon.

00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:14.780
 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the sacred tent and anointed Solomon.

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.579
 Then they sounded the trumpet and all the people shouted,

00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:21.079
 Long live King Solomon!

00:04:21.980 --> 00:04:26.560
 And all the people went up after him, playing pipes and rejoicing greatly,

00:04:27.060 --> 00:04:29.839
 So that the ground shook with the sound.

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.039
 Verse 49

00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:40.780
 At this all Adonijah's guests rose in alarm and dispersed.

00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:46.860
 But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, went and took hold of the horns of the altar.

00:04:47.540 --> 00:04:49.120
 Then Solomon was told,

00:04:49.820 --> 00:04:54.300
 Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon and is clinging to the horns of the altar.

00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:54.900
 He says,

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.740
 Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.

00:05:00.740 --> 00:05:03.240
 Solomon replied,

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.800
 If he shows himself to be worthy, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground.

00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:13.680
 But if evil is found in him, he will die.

00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:18.420
 Then King Solomon sent men and they brought him down from the altar.

00:05:19.300 --> 00:05:23.180
 And Adonijah came and bowed down to King Solomon.

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.220
 And Solomon said,

00:05:25.699 --> 00:05:27.000
 Go to your home.

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.259
 Well, there's a lot of people,

00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:33.120
 a lot of names,

00:05:34.259 --> 00:05:35.279
 a lot of kings,

00:05:35.420 --> 00:05:36.339
 and a lot happening.

00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:38.660
 And I don't know about you,

00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.300
 but when I started into kings,

00:05:40.420 --> 00:05:43.199
 I needed God's help and I still need God's help.

00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:44.120
 So we're going to pray

00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:48.660
 and ask for him to help us understand his word.

00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:49.500
 So let's pray.

00:05:49.500 --> 00:05:49.600
 Amen.

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:57.480
 Father, thank you so much

00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.140
 that it has pleased you

00:06:01.140 --> 00:06:05.620
 to not only speak your word,

00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:11.540
 but to have your spoken word written down and recorded,

00:06:13.080 --> 00:06:17.280
 providing it in a language that we can understand.

00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:24.239
 before us that we can read and see and listen to.

00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.359
 And Father, we know because you've told us

00:06:29.359 --> 00:06:30.939
 that your word is powerful.

00:06:32.219 --> 00:06:33.619
 It is effective.

00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:38.159
 And when your word is taught and explained,

00:06:39.159 --> 00:06:42.059
 as the Holy Spirit takes that word,

00:06:43.259 --> 00:06:47.059
 it drives it deep into our hearts and into our minds.

00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.779
 And we pray for his help now,

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.219
 that what we read in terms of history,

00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.339
 we will meet the living God

00:06:59.339 --> 00:07:02.979
 who changes lives,

00:07:03.659 --> 00:07:06.419
 who holds to his promise

00:07:06.419 --> 00:07:11.179
 and sees his kingdom prevail.

00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:14.539
 Teach us, Lord, we ask.

00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:16.900
 In your name we pray.

00:07:17.900 --> 00:07:18.379
 Amen.

00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:26.860
 The story of the Bible

00:07:26.860 --> 00:07:29.879
 is a wonderful promise from God

00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.060
 that he is going to establish his kingdom.

00:07:34.060 --> 00:07:37.620
 A kingdom of peace and justice,

00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.780
 prosperity and beauty.

00:07:41.579 --> 00:07:43.860
 This kingdom that God promises

00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:46.720
 would have one king.

00:07:47.180 --> 00:07:49.480
 A king with absolute power

00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.800
 and supreme authority.

00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.240
 And this king would not only rule over all people

00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:57.340
 and all nations,

00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:59.480
 but this king

00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.139
 was going to bring blessing

00:08:02.139 --> 00:08:04.220
 to all nations.

00:08:05.020 --> 00:08:06.620
 The blessing of forgiveness

00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:07.639
 and acceptance

00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.259
 and welcome.

00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:11.920
 The king

00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.519
 of God's kingdom

00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:14.319
 is, of course,

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:15.460
 Jesus Christ.

00:08:15.459 --> 00:08:18.699
 And to be a member of that kingdom,

00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:22.180
 to experience the blessings of this kingdom,

00:08:22.419 --> 00:08:24.799
 we must turn in repentance

00:08:24.799 --> 00:08:26.839
 and look in faith

00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.399
 and submit to Jesus

00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.620
 as our king.

00:08:33.019 --> 00:08:35.199
 Jesus Christ himself

00:08:35.199 --> 00:08:36.399
 described

00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.360
 the kingdom of God

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:39.299
 like this.

00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:41.779
 Jesus said,

00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.059
 the kingdom of God

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:45.620
 is like a mustard seed

00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:46.740
 which is the smallest

00:08:46.740 --> 00:08:48.199
 of all the seeds in the earth.

00:08:48.319 --> 00:08:49.459
 Tiny, tiny, tiny.

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:51.559
 Yet when planted,

00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:53.079
 it grows

00:08:53.079 --> 00:08:53.779
 and becomes

00:08:53.779 --> 00:08:54.699
 the largest

00:08:54.699 --> 00:08:56.199
 of all garden plants

00:08:56.199 --> 00:08:58.159
 with such big branches

00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.299
 that the birds

00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:00.159
 can perch

00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:01.719
 in its shade.

00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:03.959
 Jesus uses

00:09:03.959 --> 00:09:05.120
 it as a simple way

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:06.639
 like a parable

00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:07.839
 to explain

00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.840
 how unstoppable

00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.080
 the kingdom was.

00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:12.700
 It appears small

00:09:12.700 --> 00:09:14.080
 but nothing

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:14.759
 and no one

00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:15.980
 is going to stop it.

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:17.259
 It will grow

00:09:17.259 --> 00:09:18.500
 and grow

00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:19.620
 and grow

00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:20.879
 as people

00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.200
 turn and submit

00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:23.519
 to Jesus Christ

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.639
 as king.

00:09:28.660 --> 00:09:30.420
 But where is this kingdom?

00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:33.000
 You see,

00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:33.920
 God's promise

00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:35.139
 sounds great

00:09:35.139 --> 00:09:37.460
 but in reality

00:09:37.460 --> 00:09:38.100
 it appears

00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:38.879
 to be a very

00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.060
 different story.

00:09:41.259 --> 00:09:42.180
 I don't know

00:09:42.180 --> 00:09:42.780
 about you

00:09:42.780 --> 00:09:44.040
 but I don't see

00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:44.540
 the kingdom

00:09:44.540 --> 00:09:45.780
 making any headlines

00:09:45.780 --> 00:09:46.560
 in the paper.

00:09:47.740 --> 00:09:49.400
 It's not the new craze

00:09:49.400 --> 00:09:50.519
 on social media.

00:09:51.620 --> 00:09:52.180
 In fact,

00:09:52.280 --> 00:09:52.720
 it seems

00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.080
 Jesus is considered

00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:54.840
 irrelevant.

00:09:56.060 --> 00:09:57.200
 He's to be rejected

00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:58.019
 and ignored.

00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:00.900
 And where we do

00:10:00.900 --> 00:10:01.820
 see signs

00:10:01.820 --> 00:10:02.500
 of growth

00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:03.240
 of the kingdom,

00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:04.379
 there appears

00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:05.160
 to be great

00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:05.960
 opposition

00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.160
 and persecution.

00:10:09.220 --> 00:10:10.280
 It seems

00:10:10.280 --> 00:10:11.340
 that God's kingdom

00:10:11.340 --> 00:10:12.259
 is nothing more

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:13.920
 than a grand idea

00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:15.019
 that has just

00:10:15.019 --> 00:10:15.540
 fallen

00:10:15.540 --> 00:10:16.820
 and failed.

00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:18.920
 Rather than

00:10:18.920 --> 00:10:19.480
 a big

00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:20.740
 great tree,

00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:22.800
 it appears

00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:23.700
 that it's still

00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:25.000
 like a tiny

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.400
 little seed.

00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:28.980
 We can barely

00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:29.600
 see it.

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:41.860
 God is in charge

00:10:41.860 --> 00:10:43.860
 and he will

00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:44.639
 ensure that

00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:45.440
 his kingdom

00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.700
 prevails.

00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:49.139
 That's what

00:10:49.139 --> 00:10:49.820
 we're looking at

00:10:49.820 --> 00:10:50.500
 this morning.

00:10:51.560 --> 00:10:52.100
 It might

00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:53.060
 appear weak,

00:10:54.060 --> 00:10:55.080
 it might appear

00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:55.899
 that it's all

00:10:55.899 --> 00:10:56.519
 failed,

00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.559
 but God

00:10:58.559 --> 00:10:59.579
 is in charge

00:10:59.579 --> 00:11:00.980
 and he will

00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:01.620
 ensure

00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:02.860
 that his

00:11:02.860 --> 00:11:03.879
 promised kingdom

00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:04.720
 prevails.

00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:07.059
 You see,

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:08.019
 there was a time

00:11:08.019 --> 00:11:09.539
 when it looked

00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:10.199
 like God's

00:11:10.199 --> 00:11:10.779
 kingdom was

00:11:10.779 --> 00:11:11.899
 all over.

00:11:12.779 --> 00:11:13.559
 The kingdom

00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:14.319
 was under

00:11:14.319 --> 00:11:14.960
 David

00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.460
 and under

00:11:16.460 --> 00:11:17.159
 David it was

00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:17.919
 almost like

00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:18.460
 paradise.

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:19.679
 Enemies had

00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:20.340
 been defeated,

00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:21.699
 borders were

00:11:21.699 --> 00:11:22.220
 secure,

00:11:22.659 --> 00:11:23.600
 the people lived

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.259
 in a land

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:24.919
 of plenty,

00:11:25.379 --> 00:11:26.200
 God's people

00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:26.860
 living in

00:11:26.860 --> 00:11:28.059
 God's place

00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:29.539
 under God's

00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:30.519
 rule and

00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:31.039
 blessing.

00:11:32.539 --> 00:11:33.939
 But things

00:11:33.939 --> 00:11:34.659
 were beginning

00:11:34.659 --> 00:11:36.559
 to change.

00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:38.779
 First,

00:11:39.539 --> 00:11:40.360
 God's kingdom

00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.799
 seems dangerously

00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:42.360
 fragile.

00:11:43.379 --> 00:11:44.120
 The kingdom

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.419
 was under

00:11:45.419 --> 00:11:46.659
 serious threat

00:11:46.659 --> 00:11:47.419
 for two

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:48.000
 reasons.

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:48.819
 First,

00:11:50.059 --> 00:11:50.580
 there was

00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:51.480
 inside

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:52.139
 failure.

00:11:52.439 --> 00:11:52.759
 Look at

00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:53.399
 verse 1.

00:11:54.259 --> 00:11:55.500
 When King

00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:56.200
 David was

00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:57.080
 very old,

00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:58.179
 he could

00:11:58.179 --> 00:11:58.779
 not keep

00:11:58.779 --> 00:12:00.200
 warm even

00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:00.679
 when they

00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:01.480
 put covers

00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:02.360
 over him.

00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:03.519
 Now we

00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:04.500
 remember David

00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:05.159
 as the great

00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:05.500
 hero,

00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:06.080
 don't we?

00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:07.319
 The courageous

00:12:07.319 --> 00:12:08.200
 shepherd who

00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:08.860
 fought off

00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:09.559
 bears and

00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:10.039
 lions.

00:12:10.659 --> 00:12:11.460
 He was the

00:12:11.460 --> 00:12:12.200
 great hero

00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:13.019
 who defeated

00:12:13.019 --> 00:12:13.700
 Goliath.

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:15.059
 The warrior

00:12:15.059 --> 00:12:16.059
 soldier who

00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:16.799
 crushed his

00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:17.159
 enemies.

00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:19.580
 But now

00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:20.139
 look at him.

00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:21.799
 The passing

00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:22.639
 of time has

00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:23.519
 reduced him to

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:24.319
 a frail,

00:12:24.860 --> 00:12:25.480
 cold,

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.079
 old man.

00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:29.240
 But thankfully

00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:30.039
 he has good

00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:30.759
 people around

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.019
 him.

00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:32.000
 So they

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:32.740
 get on to

00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:33.819
 home help.

00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:34.980
 Verse 2.

00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:36.240
 His attendant

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:36.939
 said to him,

00:12:37.199 --> 00:12:37.899
 let us look

00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:38.460
 for a young

00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:39.139
 virgin to

00:12:39.139 --> 00:12:39.639
 serve the

00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:40.019
 king and

00:12:40.019 --> 00:12:40.559
 take care

00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:40.919
 of him.

00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:42.740
 In fact,

00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:43.460
 it seems that

00:12:43.460 --> 00:12:44.079
 she was very

00:12:44.079 --> 00:12:44.840
 practical as

00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:45.259
 she doubled

00:12:45.259 --> 00:12:45.740
 up as a

00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:46.259
 hot water

00:12:46.259 --> 00:12:47.100
 bottle for

00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:47.779
 poor old

00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:48.220
 David.

00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:49.340
 Look at the

00:12:49.340 --> 00:12:49.720
 rest of

00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:50.259
 verse 2.

00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:51.399
 she can

00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:52.299
 lie beside

00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:53.179
 him so

00:12:53.179 --> 00:12:53.600
 that our

00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:54.299
 lord the

00:12:54.299 --> 00:12:55.399
 king may

00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:56.319
 keep warm.

00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:57.439
 And in

00:12:57.439 --> 00:12:57.879
 case we

00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:58.299
 think there

00:12:58.299 --> 00:12:58.659
 was some

00:12:58.659 --> 00:12:59.659
 sexual favor

00:12:59.659 --> 00:13:00.179
 in all of

00:13:00.179 --> 00:13:00.419
 this,

00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:01.159
 look down

00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:01.539
 at verse

00:13:01.539 --> 00:13:01.840
 4.

00:13:02.139 --> 00:13:02.639
 The woman

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:03.379
 was very

00:13:03.379 --> 00:13:03.840
 beautiful.

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:04.340
 She took

00:13:04.340 --> 00:13:04.720
 care of

00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:05.039
 the king

00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:05.480
 and waited

00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:06.000
 on him,

00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:07.120
 but the

00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:07.639
 king had

00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:08.500
 no sexual

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:09.100
 relations

00:13:09.100 --> 00:13:10.100
 with her.

00:13:11.379 --> 00:13:12.059
 Now this

00:13:12.059 --> 00:13:12.639
 is not a

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:13.439
 lesson about

00:13:13.439 --> 00:13:14.340
 how we

00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:14.700
 should be

00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:15.299
 caring for

00:13:15.299 --> 00:13:15.759
 those who

00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:16.299
 are advanced

00:13:16.299 --> 00:13:17.000
 in years,

00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:18.379
 as important

00:13:18.379 --> 00:13:18.899
 as that

00:13:18.899 --> 00:13:19.259
 is.

00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:20.720
 This is

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:21.419
 the sad

00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:22.139
 and tragic

00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:23.539
 end to

00:13:23.539 --> 00:13:24.120
 David's

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:24.559
 life.

00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:26.580
 David has

00:13:26.580 --> 00:13:27.559
 failed as

00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:27.919
 king.

00:13:28.740 --> 00:13:29.580
 He's forgotten

00:13:29.580 --> 00:13:30.639
 all about

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:31.220
 the kingdom.

00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:32.179
 He's more

00:13:32.179 --> 00:13:33.039
 interested in

00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:33.659
 keeping his

00:13:33.659 --> 00:13:34.539
 toes warm

00:13:34.539 --> 00:13:36.320
 than appointing

00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:36.659
 a new

00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:37.000
 king.

00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:38.639
 Of course

00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:39.259
 he had the

00:13:39.259 --> 00:13:40.080
 great stories

00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:40.759
 to tell the

00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:41.419
 grandchildren,

00:13:41.939 --> 00:13:42.679
 fighting the

00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:43.500
 lions as a

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:43.860
 shepherd,

00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:44.620
 knocking

00:13:44.620 --> 00:13:45.399
 Goliath's

00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:45.799
 head off,

00:13:46.179 --> 00:13:46.919
 battling the

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:47.620
 Philistines.

00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:49.139
 What stories

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:49.639
 of the

00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:50.220
 past?

00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.159
 But he

00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:53.759
 was failed

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:54.200
 to do

00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:54.519
 what he

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:54.919
 was meant

00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:55.399
 to do.

00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:57.560
 Prioritise

00:13:57.560 --> 00:13:58.120
 the kingdom

00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.060
 and appoint

00:14:00.060 --> 00:14:00.560
 a king.

00:14:02.580 --> 00:14:03.340
 So it

00:14:03.340 --> 00:14:03.799
 was under

00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:04.379
 threat,

00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:06.019
 from inside

00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:07.860
 and outside.

00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:09.639
 For David's

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:10.539
 failure only

00:14:10.539 --> 00:14:11.360
 led to

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:12.220
 rebellion.

00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:12.919
 Look at

00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:13.539
 verse 4,

00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:14.419
 5 sorry,

00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:15.080
 verse 5.

00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:16.419
 Now Adonijah,

00:14:16.620 --> 00:14:17.180
 whose mother

00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:17.859
 was Haggis,

00:14:17.979 --> 00:14:18.519
 put himself

00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:19.039
 forward and

00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:19.259
 said,

00:14:19.500 --> 00:14:20.899
 don't worry,

00:14:21.419 --> 00:14:22.179
 I will be

00:14:22.179 --> 00:14:22.459
 king.

00:14:25.099 --> 00:14:25.819
 Now it would

00:14:25.819 --> 00:14:26.479
 be a mistake

00:14:26.479 --> 00:14:27.239
 to think that

00:14:27.239 --> 00:14:28.219
 Adonijah is

00:14:28.219 --> 00:14:28.919
 helping his

00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:29.959
 poor father

00:14:29.959 --> 00:14:30.539
 out.

00:14:31.579 --> 00:14:32.299
 Kingship was

00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:32.959
 not his to

00:14:32.959 --> 00:14:33.459
 assume.

00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:34.839
 His I

00:14:34.839 --> 00:14:35.419
 will be

00:14:35.419 --> 00:14:37.519
 king is

00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:38.179
 an act of

00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:38.620
 rebellion.

00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:39.919
 And in

00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:40.379
 case we're

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:41.120
 wondering how

00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:41.699
 he came to

00:14:41.699 --> 00:14:42.439
 be like this,

00:14:42.819 --> 00:14:43.359
 well it all

00:14:43.359 --> 00:14:44.539
 points back to

00:14:44.539 --> 00:14:45.539
 the failure of

00:14:45.539 --> 00:14:45.980
 David,

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:46.779
 verse 6,

00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:48.139
 fathers,

00:14:48.339 --> 00:14:48.939
 listen up.

00:14:49.699 --> 00:14:50.379
 His father

00:14:50.379 --> 00:14:50.980
 had never

00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:51.679
 rebuked him

00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:52.339
 by asking,

00:14:52.939 --> 00:14:53.480
 why do you

00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:54.159
 behave as

00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:54.559
 you do?

00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:56.219
 He was

00:14:56.219 --> 00:14:56.959
 very handsome

00:14:56.959 --> 00:14:58.159
 and was

00:14:58.159 --> 00:14:58.819
 born next

00:14:58.819 --> 00:14:59.899
 after Absalom.

00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:02.679
 Adonijah was

00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:03.360
 the blue-eyed

00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:04.699
 boy who

00:15:04.699 --> 00:15:05.299
 could do

00:15:05.299 --> 00:15:06.379
 no wrong.

00:15:07.059 --> 00:15:07.579
 The kind

00:15:07.579 --> 00:15:08.079
 of kid

00:15:08.079 --> 00:15:08.639
 that ran

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.419
 riot but

00:15:09.419 --> 00:15:10.559
 his father

00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:11.099
 could never

00:15:11.099 --> 00:15:11.719
 see it.

00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:13.399
 it seems

00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:14.220
 David couldn't

00:15:14.220 --> 00:15:14.879
 even manage

00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:15.680
 his family

00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:17.240
 never mind

00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:17.920
 the kingdom.

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:19.860
 So rebellious

00:15:19.860 --> 00:15:20.940
 Adonijah plotted

00:15:20.940 --> 00:15:21.660
 to take over

00:15:21.660 --> 00:15:22.200
 the kingdom.

00:15:22.540 --> 00:15:23.320
 Verse 9,

00:15:23.460 --> 00:15:23.860
 the middle

00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:24.740
 of verse 9.

00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:27.019
 He invited

00:15:27.019 --> 00:15:27.920
 all his

00:15:27.920 --> 00:15:28.660
 brothers and

00:15:28.660 --> 00:15:29.519
 king's sons

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.580
 and all the

00:15:30.580 --> 00:15:31.320
 royal officials

00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:31.860
 of Judah

00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:33.519
 but he was

00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:33.899
 careful.

00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:34.500
 He didn't

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:35.259
 invite Nathan

00:15:35.259 --> 00:15:35.800
 the prophet

00:15:35.800 --> 00:15:36.639
 or Benaniah

00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:37.820
 or the special

00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:39.220
 guard or his

00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:40.340
 brother Solomon

00:15:40.340 --> 00:15:43.060
 because Solomon

00:15:43.060 --> 00:15:44.000
 was meant

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:44.560
 to be

00:15:44.560 --> 00:15:45.320
 the king.

00:15:47.820 --> 00:15:48.639
 So it

00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:49.420
 appears that

00:15:49.420 --> 00:15:49.879
 the kingdom

00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:50.519
 is falling

00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:51.139
 apart.

00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:53.180
 Inside

00:15:53.180 --> 00:15:54.060
 failure as

00:15:54.060 --> 00:15:55.620
 David isn't

00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:56.139
 doing what

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:56.540
 he's meant

00:15:56.540 --> 00:15:57.000
 to do.

00:15:57.700 --> 00:15:58.379
 Outside

00:15:58.379 --> 00:15:59.700
 rebellion as

00:15:59.700 --> 00:16:00.840
 Adonijah picks

00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:01.840
 up the charge.

00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:03.460
 The promised

00:16:03.460 --> 00:16:05.580
 kingdom is

00:16:05.580 --> 00:16:06.540
 dangerously

00:16:06.540 --> 00:16:07.440
 fragile.

00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.860
 Now it's

00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:11.500
 not unlike

00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:12.140
 the church

00:16:12.140 --> 00:16:12.860
 today is

00:16:12.860 --> 00:16:13.120
 it?

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.000
 The church

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:15.720
 which is a

00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:16.100
 visible

00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:16.820
 demonstration

00:16:16.820 --> 00:16:17.740
 of God's

00:16:17.740 --> 00:16:18.280
 kingdom on

00:16:18.280 --> 00:16:19.120
 earth is

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:19.920
 dangerously

00:16:19.920 --> 00:16:20.400
 fragile.

00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:22.660
 Sadly we

00:16:22.660 --> 00:16:23.700
 fail far

00:16:23.700 --> 00:16:24.660
 too often.

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:26.700
 Instead of

00:16:26.700 --> 00:16:27.420
 peace and

00:16:27.420 --> 00:16:27.980
 justice

00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:29.860
 well we

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:30.660
 find fear

00:16:30.660 --> 00:16:31.340
 and abuse.

00:16:32.280 --> 00:16:33.020
 Instead of

00:16:33.020 --> 00:16:33.480
 repentance

00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:34.920
 there's

00:16:34.920 --> 00:16:35.640
 cover up.

00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:36.980
 leaders

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:37.360
 have

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:37.879
 affairs

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:38.799
 members

00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:39.439
 fall out

00:16:39.439 --> 00:16:39.899
 with each

00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:40.139
 other

00:16:40.139 --> 00:16:41.139
 and we're

00:16:41.139 --> 00:16:41.620
 all too

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:42.480
 busy seeking

00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:43.879
 home comforts

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:44.840
 that we

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:45.600
 forget to

00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:46.860
 prioritize the

00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:47.240
 kingdom.

00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:49.399
 But not

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:50.039
 only is the

00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:50.559
 church and

00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:51.139
 her people

00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:51.620
 failing

00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:52.360
 there's

00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:52.860
 hostile

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:53.399
 rebellion

00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:54.139
 against the

00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:54.679
 true king

00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:55.580
 Jesus Christ.

00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:56.600
 Churches

00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:57.039
 are being

00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:57.559
 wrecked.

00:16:57.819 --> 00:16:58.179
 Christians

00:16:58.179 --> 00:16:58.779
 are being

00:16:58.779 --> 00:16:59.500
 persecuted.

00:17:00.019 --> 00:17:00.500
 We don't

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:01.299
 need Jesus.

00:17:02.100 --> 00:17:02.360
 Shut

00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:02.759
 him up.

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:03.299
 Get rid

00:17:03.299 --> 00:17:03.659
 of him.

00:17:03.659 --> 00:17:05.539
 like

00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:06.379
 Adonijah

00:17:06.379 --> 00:17:07.139
 the world

00:17:07.139 --> 00:17:07.940
 cries

00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:09.819
 I will

00:17:09.819 --> 00:17:10.200
 be

00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:10.940
 king.

00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:12.500
 I will

00:17:12.500 --> 00:17:13.119
 live as I

00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:14.099
 please and

00:17:14.099 --> 00:17:14.720
 I will

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:15.579
 do as

00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:16.659
 I want.

00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:19.420
 God's

00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:19.759
 kingdom

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.339
 seems

00:17:20.339 --> 00:17:21.019
 dangerously

00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:21.539
 fragile.

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.440
 Well

00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:25.460
 despite the

00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:25.960
 apparent

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:26.839
 weakness and

00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:27.779
 failure of

00:17:27.779 --> 00:17:28.319
 the kingdom

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:29.460
 God is

00:17:29.460 --> 00:17:30.240
 in charge

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:31.899
 and he

00:17:31.899 --> 00:17:32.899
 will ensure

00:17:32.899 --> 00:17:34.339
 that his

00:17:34.339 --> 00:17:34.960
 kingdom

00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:36.139
 prevails.

00:17:37.879 --> 00:17:38.439
 Number

00:17:38.439 --> 00:17:38.879
 two

00:17:38.879 --> 00:17:40.539
 God's

00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:40.899
 kingdom

00:17:40.899 --> 00:17:41.319
 has

00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:41.980
 kingdom

00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:42.879
 loving

00:17:42.879 --> 00:17:43.579
 people.

00:17:45.159 --> 00:17:46.059
 Failure

00:17:46.059 --> 00:17:46.720
 and rebellion

00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:47.659
 may exist

00:17:47.659 --> 00:17:49.539
 but God

00:17:49.539 --> 00:17:50.839
 always has

00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:51.899
 his faithful

00:17:51.899 --> 00:17:52.839
 people.

00:17:54.159 --> 00:17:55.200
 He has

00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.240
 his faithful

00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:56.980
 servants.

00:17:56.980 --> 00:17:58.279
 You see

00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:58.839
 as people

00:17:58.839 --> 00:17:59.339
 rallied

00:17:59.339 --> 00:18:00.039
 around and

00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:00.579
 supported

00:18:00.579 --> 00:18:01.539
 Adonijah's

00:18:01.539 --> 00:18:01.960
 bid for

00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:02.559
 kingship

00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.460
 not everyone

00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:04.940
 did.

00:18:05.140 --> 00:18:05.420
 Look at

00:18:05.420 --> 00:18:06.099
 verse 8.

00:18:08.120 --> 00:18:08.380
 But

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:08.819
 Zadok

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:09.620
 the priest

00:18:09.620 --> 00:18:10.500
 Benaniah

00:18:10.500 --> 00:18:10.960
 son of

00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:11.519
 Jehoiada

00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:12.599
 Nathan

00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:13.360
 the prophet

00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:14.860
 Shimei

00:18:14.860 --> 00:18:15.660
 and Ray

00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:16.799
 and David

00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:17.319
 special

00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:17.779
 guard

00:18:17.779 --> 00:18:18.900
 they did

00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:19.819
 not join

00:18:19.819 --> 00:18:21.019
 Adonijah

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:21.680
 in his

00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:22.180
 rebellion.

00:18:23.180 --> 00:18:23.740
 Here we

00:18:23.740 --> 00:18:24.200
 have a

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:24.799
 bunch of

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:25.920
 loyal faithful

00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:26.519
 servants

00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:27.480
 who knew

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:27.960
 what was

00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:28.320
 right

00:18:28.320 --> 00:18:29.539
 and refused

00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:30.180
 to give

00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:30.519
 up.

00:18:31.320 --> 00:18:31.980
 They loved

00:18:31.980 --> 00:18:32.539
 the kingdom

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:33.680
 they loved

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:34.200
 God and

00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:34.640
 they knew

00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:35.400
 that something

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:36.039
 must be

00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:36.320
 done.

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:37.340
 So up

00:18:37.340 --> 00:18:37.960
 steps

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:38.620
 Nathan

00:18:38.620 --> 00:18:40.480
 verse 11

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:42.500
 then Nathan

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:43.120
 asked

00:18:43.120 --> 00:18:43.920
 Bathsheba

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:44.640
 Solomon's

00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:44.940
 mother

00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:46.259
 have you

00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:46.900
 not heard

00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:47.200
 that

00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:47.880
 Adonijah

00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:48.400
 the son

00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:48.900
 of Haggis

00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:49.420
 has become

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:50.259
 king and

00:18:50.259 --> 00:18:50.740
 our lord

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:51.539
 David knows

00:18:51.539 --> 00:18:52.319
 nothing about

00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:52.640
 it?

00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:54.420
 Now then

00:18:54.420 --> 00:18:54.779
 let me

00:18:54.779 --> 00:18:55.700
 advise you

00:18:55.700 --> 00:18:56.120
 how you

00:18:56.120 --> 00:18:56.720
 can save

00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:57.180
 your own

00:18:57.180 --> 00:18:58.180
 life and

00:18:58.180 --> 00:18:58.819
 the life of

00:18:58.819 --> 00:18:59.339
 your son

00:18:59.339 --> 00:19:00.160
 of Solomon

00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:01.039
 who was

00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:01.640
 to be the

00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:02.059
 king of

00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:02.440
 course.

00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:03.940
 Nathan

00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:04.420
 had to

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:05.059
 take action

00:19:05.059 --> 00:19:05.740
 and fast.

00:19:06.579 --> 00:19:07.059
 Adonijah

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:07.799
 would soon be

00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:08.339
 out to get

00:19:08.339 --> 00:19:09.259
 rid and kill

00:19:09.259 --> 00:19:10.420
 Solomon because

00:19:10.420 --> 00:19:11.160
 Solomon was

00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:11.640
 the true

00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:12.140
 heir to

00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:12.839
 the kingship.

00:19:13.619 --> 00:19:14.500
 But sensing

00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:15.240
 the danger

00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:15.700
 that was

00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:16.240
 going on

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:16.900
 around him

00:19:16.900 --> 00:19:17.619
 Nathan

00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:18.359
 doesn't run

00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:18.879
 and hide

00:19:18.879 --> 00:19:19.859
 he makes

00:19:19.859 --> 00:19:20.400
 the kingdom

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:21.559
 his priority.

00:19:22.339 --> 00:19:22.879
 He stood

00:19:22.879 --> 00:19:23.660
 against the

00:19:23.660 --> 00:19:24.819
 failure and

00:19:24.819 --> 00:19:25.480
 against the

00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:25.900
 rebellion.

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.180
 Here was a

00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:28.140
 faithful servant

00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:29.379
 who loved

00:19:29.379 --> 00:19:30.379
 the kingdom.

00:19:33.059 --> 00:19:34.039
 Now this is

00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:34.619
 not the first

00:19:34.619 --> 00:19:35.220
 time we've

00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:35.720
 ever met

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:36.619
 Nathan is it?

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:38.279
 We're told

00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:38.940
 here he's

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:39.740
 God's prophet.

00:19:40.340 --> 00:19:41.019
 That means

00:19:41.019 --> 00:19:41.759
 he's God's

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.460
 representative.

00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:43.559
 He is to

00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:44.620
 speak God's

00:19:44.620 --> 00:19:45.660
 word to

00:19:45.660 --> 00:19:46.279
 the people.

00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:48.860
 Don't we

00:19:48.860 --> 00:19:49.620
 remember that

00:19:49.620 --> 00:19:50.539
 Nathan had to

00:19:50.539 --> 00:19:51.279
 speak to

00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:52.299
 David before?

00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:54.840
 Remember how

00:19:54.840 --> 00:19:56.460
 Nathan confronted

00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:57.380
 and rebuked

00:19:57.380 --> 00:19:58.940
 David over

00:19:58.940 --> 00:19:59.820
 his affair

00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:01.019
 with Bathsheba

00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:02.440
 and the

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:03.220
 murder of

00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:03.960
 her husband?

00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:05.680
 And through

00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:06.559
 God's word

00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:07.539
 Nathan showed

00:20:07.539 --> 00:20:08.220
 David the

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:08.660
 way of

00:20:08.660 --> 00:20:09.160
 repentance

00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:10.360
 and the

00:20:10.360 --> 00:20:10.940
 way back

00:20:10.940 --> 00:20:11.259
 through

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:11.779
 grace.

00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:15.180
 Now once

00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:16.000
 more Nathan

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:16.640
 is having

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:17.880
 to intervene.

00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:19.819
 Ironically

00:20:19.819 --> 00:20:20.759
 speaking the

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.360
 words of

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:22.980
 God to

00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:23.779
 Bathsheba

00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:24.700
 herself and

00:20:24.700 --> 00:20:25.620
 to Solomon.

00:20:26.900 --> 00:20:28.559
 He intervenes

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:30.339
 speaking to

00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:31.400
 rescue the

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:32.980
 failure of

00:20:32.980 --> 00:20:33.339
 David.

00:20:34.220 --> 00:20:35.200
 His plan is

00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:35.940
 very simple.

00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:37.140
 Verse 13.

00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:39.059
 Nathan says

00:20:39.059 --> 00:20:39.840
 to Bathsheba

00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:40.539
 go in to

00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:41.120
 King David

00:20:41.120 --> 00:20:41.720
 and say to

00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:42.460
 him my

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:43.000
 Lord the

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:43.460
 king did

00:20:43.460 --> 00:20:43.880
 you not

00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:45.019
 swear to

00:20:45.019 --> 00:20:45.539
 me your

00:20:45.539 --> 00:20:46.039
 servant?

00:20:46.620 --> 00:20:47.000
 Surely

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:47.940
 Solomon your

00:20:47.940 --> 00:20:48.799
 son shall

00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:49.299
 be king

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:49.900
 after me

00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:50.779
 and he

00:20:50.779 --> 00:20:51.319
 will sit

00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:51.660
 on my

00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:51.980
 throne.

00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:56.340
 And then

00:20:56.340 --> 00:20:57.100
 Nathan after

00:20:57.100 --> 00:20:57.779
 she's gone

00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:58.140
 in and

00:20:58.140 --> 00:20:58.740
 spoken to

00:20:58.740 --> 00:20:59.100
 the king

00:20:59.100 --> 00:20:59.759
 Nathan

00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:00.519
 himself will

00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:01.019
 follow it

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:01.519
 up and he

00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:02.160
 will confront

00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:02.660
 the king.

00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:03.560
 Down at

00:21:03.560 --> 00:21:04.519
 verse 24.

00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:06.779
 Nathan said

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:08.180
 have you

00:21:08.180 --> 00:21:08.940
 my Lord the

00:21:08.940 --> 00:21:09.680
 king declared

00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:10.620
 that Adonijah

00:21:10.620 --> 00:21:11.420
 shall be king

00:21:11.420 --> 00:21:12.040
 after you and

00:21:12.040 --> 00:21:12.519
 that he will

00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:13.180
 sit on your

00:21:13.180 --> 00:21:13.560
 throne?

00:21:14.320 --> 00:21:15.100
 I mean this

00:21:15.100 --> 00:21:15.880
 can't be.

00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:17.300
 That's not

00:21:17.300 --> 00:21:18.060
 the promise.

00:21:19.080 --> 00:21:20.019
 Verse 27.

00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:20.880
 Is this

00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:21.660
 something my

00:21:21.660 --> 00:21:22.340
 Lord the

00:21:22.340 --> 00:21:22.720
 king has

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:23.200
 done without

00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:23.900
 letting his

00:21:23.900 --> 00:21:24.580
 servants know

00:21:24.580 --> 00:21:25.400
 who should

00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:26.019
 sit on the

00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:26.720
 throne of my

00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:27.200
 Lord the

00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:27.779
 king after

00:21:27.779 --> 00:21:28.100
 him?

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:31.000
 It's subtle

00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:32.680
 but as we

00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:33.319
 will see

00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.180
 David gets

00:21:35.180 --> 00:21:36.039
 the point.

00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:37.980
 Nathan speaks

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.599
 the word of

00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:39.220
 God into

00:21:39.220 --> 00:21:40.059
 the situation

00:21:40.059 --> 00:21:41.480
 confronting the

00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:42.240
 failure and

00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:43.359
 rebellion because

00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:44.740
 God always has

00:21:44.740 --> 00:21:45.559
 his faithful

00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:46.799
 servants who

00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:47.640
 love the

00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.140
 kingdom and

00:21:49.140 --> 00:21:49.940
 speak the

00:21:49.940 --> 00:21:50.339
 word of

00:21:50.339 --> 00:21:51.380
 God to

00:21:51.380 --> 00:21:52.039
 the people.

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:55.279
 And isn't

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:55.880
 that what the

00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:56.599
 church needs

00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:57.039
 today?

00:21:58.819 --> 00:21:59.500
 Faithful,

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:00.619
 loyal,

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:01.980
 kingdom

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:03.119
 loving people.

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:05.019
 Servants of

00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:06.660
 God who

00:22:06.660 --> 00:22:07.079
 in their

00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:07.799
 sphere of

00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:08.500
 influence

00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:10.559
 don't run

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:11.220
 and hide

00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:13.279
 but prioritize

00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:14.059
 the kingdom.

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:15.960
 People like

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:16.640
 Nathan who

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.559
 refuse to

00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:18.400
 stay quiet

00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:20.319
 but gently

00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:21.160
 and humbly

00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.519
 remind people

00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:24.359
 of the

00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:25.099
 promises of

00:22:25.099 --> 00:22:25.640
 God and

00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:26.640
 speak God's

00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:27.220
 word into

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:28.160
 the situation.

00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:28.259
 salvation.

00:22:30.300 --> 00:22:30.660
 You see

00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:31.080
 we should

00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:32.140
 never ever

00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:33.060
 underestimate

00:22:33.060 --> 00:22:33.940
 the power

00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:34.779
 of God's

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:35.460
 rescuing

00:22:35.460 --> 00:22:36.900
 and restoring

00:22:36.900 --> 00:22:37.500
 word.

00:22:39.500 --> 00:22:40.360
 As you

00:22:40.360 --> 00:22:41.060
 if you're a

00:22:41.060 --> 00:22:41.660
 parent here

00:22:41.660 --> 00:22:42.519
 today as you

00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:43.160
 read your

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:44.519
 Bible with

00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:45.380
 your children

00:22:45.380 --> 00:22:48.080
 you are

00:22:48.080 --> 00:22:48.800
 building the

00:22:48.800 --> 00:22:49.120
 kingdom.

00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:49.179
 kingdom.

00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:51.659
 As you

00:22:51.659 --> 00:22:52.319
 teach in

00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:52.679
 Sunday

00:22:52.679 --> 00:22:53.239
 school and

00:22:53.239 --> 00:22:53.699
 to think

00:22:53.699 --> 00:22:54.539
 now that

00:22:54.539 --> 00:22:55.019
 they've gone

00:22:55.019 --> 00:22:55.419
 through the

00:22:55.419 --> 00:22:55.939
 whole of

00:22:55.939 --> 00:22:56.439
 the Bible

00:22:56.439 --> 00:22:57.119
 in the

00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:57.759
 last three

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:58.339
 years.

00:22:59.939 --> 00:23:00.819
 As the

00:23:00.819 --> 00:23:01.299
 word of

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:01.819
 God is

00:23:01.819 --> 00:23:02.459
 taught at

00:23:02.459 --> 00:23:03.019
 the rock

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:04.919
 and in

00:23:04.919 --> 00:23:05.419
 this new

00:23:05.419 --> 00:23:05.859
 group

00:23:05.859 --> 00:23:06.599
 rooted

00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:09.039
 you are

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:09.579
 building

00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:10.659
 the kingdom.

00:23:11.819 --> 00:23:12.439
 As you

00:23:12.439 --> 00:23:13.219
 invest in

00:23:13.219 --> 00:23:13.839
 relationships

00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:14.939
 and talk

00:23:14.939 --> 00:23:15.500
 of Jesus

00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:15.979
 with your

00:23:15.979 --> 00:23:16.639
 friends and

00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:18.240
 colleagues you

00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:18.900
 are building

00:23:18.900 --> 00:23:20.020
 the kingdom.

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:22.380
 But the

00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:22.980
 first place

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:23.500
 to start

00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:24.259
 is always

00:23:24.259 --> 00:23:25.660
 with ourselves

00:23:25.660 --> 00:23:26.180
 with our

00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:26.860
 own hearts.

00:23:27.860 --> 00:23:28.759
 We are to

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:29.520
 submit to

00:23:29.520 --> 00:23:30.340
 God's word

00:23:30.340 --> 00:23:31.520
 to sit

00:23:31.520 --> 00:23:32.180
 under it

00:23:32.180 --> 00:23:33.160
 let it

00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:34.120
 confront our

00:23:34.120 --> 00:23:34.880
 failures and

00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:35.540
 rebellions.

00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:36.460
 Let us

00:23:36.460 --> 00:23:37.520
 lead one

00:23:37.520 --> 00:23:38.160
 another in

00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:38.700
 repentance

00:23:38.700 --> 00:23:40.140
 and point

00:23:40.140 --> 00:23:40.660
 each other

00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:41.240
 back to

00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:41.720
 God's

00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:42.200
 grace.

00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.380
 never

00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:45.460
 underestimate

00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:46.580
 the power

00:23:46.580 --> 00:23:47.340
 of God's

00:23:47.340 --> 00:23:48.340
 word when

00:23:48.340 --> 00:23:48.700
 it is

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:49.460
 spoken by

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:50.120
 kingdom

00:23:50.120 --> 00:23:50.840
 loving

00:23:50.840 --> 00:23:51.819
 people.

00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:54.600
 You see

00:23:54.600 --> 00:23:55.580
 despite the

00:23:55.580 --> 00:23:56.340
 weakness and

00:23:56.340 --> 00:23:57.120
 failure of

00:23:57.120 --> 00:23:57.600
 the kingdom

00:23:57.600 --> 00:23:59.180
 God is in

00:23:59.180 --> 00:23:59.799
 charge and

00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:00.240
 he will

00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:00.960
 ensure that

00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:01.660
 his kingdom

00:24:01.660 --> 00:24:02.720
 prevails.

00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:04.080
 God has

00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:04.799
 his kingdom

00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:05.900
 loving people

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:07.100
 people like

00:24:07.100 --> 00:24:07.620
 you

00:24:07.620 --> 00:24:10.340
 in your

00:24:10.340 --> 00:24:10.940
 family

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:13.080
 in your

00:24:13.080 --> 00:24:13.680
 school

00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:14.100
 in your

00:24:14.100 --> 00:24:14.640
 college

00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:15.620
 where you

00:24:15.620 --> 00:24:16.080
 work

00:24:16.080 --> 00:24:17.500
 God has

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:18.259
 his people

00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:20.059
 to bring

00:24:20.059 --> 00:24:20.779
 his word

00:24:20.779 --> 00:24:23.279
 to restore

00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:24.700
 his fallen

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:25.519
 kingdom.

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:29.500
 So it

00:24:29.500 --> 00:24:29.820
 seems

00:24:29.820 --> 00:24:30.460
 dangerously

00:24:30.460 --> 00:24:31.340
 fragile but

00:24:31.340 --> 00:24:32.000
 God has

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:32.400
 kingdom

00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:32.720
 loving

00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:33.240
 people

00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:35.700
 and third

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:36.240
 God's

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:36.860
 kingdom is

00:24:36.860 --> 00:24:37.580
 faithfully

00:24:37.580 --> 00:24:38.640
 preserved.

00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:40.360
 You see

00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:40.959
 as Nathan

00:24:40.959 --> 00:24:41.819
 spoke into

00:24:41.819 --> 00:24:42.740
 the situation

00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:44.740
 and spoke

00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:45.639
 into David's

00:24:45.639 --> 00:24:46.399
 life the

00:24:46.399 --> 00:24:47.319
 word did

00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:48.079
 its work.

00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:50.359
 David might

00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:51.019
 still be

00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:51.879
 old and

00:24:51.879 --> 00:24:53.039
 cold but

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:53.599
 now he

00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:54.079
 was on

00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:55.119
 fire for

00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:55.619
 the kingdom.

00:24:56.099 --> 00:24:56.500
 Look at

00:24:56.500 --> 00:24:57.419
 verse 29.

00:24:58.359 --> 00:24:59.000
 The king

00:24:59.000 --> 00:24:59.579
 then took

00:24:59.579 --> 00:25:00.059
 an oath

00:25:00.059 --> 00:25:01.139
 as surely

00:25:01.139 --> 00:25:01.599
 as the

00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:02.339
 Lord lives

00:25:02.339 --> 00:25:03.119
 who has

00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:03.839
 delivered me

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:04.179
 out of

00:25:04.179 --> 00:25:04.919
 every trouble

00:25:04.919 --> 00:25:05.839
 and I

00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:06.479
 take that

00:25:06.479 --> 00:25:07.059
 to be

00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:08.179
 a looking

00:25:08.179 --> 00:25:08.740
 back on

00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:09.180
 his

00:25:09.180 --> 00:25:10.440
 forgetfulness

00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:11.460
 for not

00:25:11.460 --> 00:25:12.640
 prioritizing

00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:13.140
 the kingdom

00:25:13.140 --> 00:25:14.279
 having heard

00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:14.920
 what Nathan

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:15.579
 said and

00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:16.180
 repented

00:25:16.180 --> 00:25:16.839
 and turned

00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:17.299
 back.

00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:19.660
 The God

00:25:19.660 --> 00:25:20.019
 who has

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:20.799
 delivered him

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:21.180
 out of

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:22.160
 every trouble

00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:23.319
 verse 30

00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:24.079
 he says

00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:24.500
 I will

00:25:24.500 --> 00:25:25.019
 surely

00:25:25.019 --> 00:25:25.920
 carry out

00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:26.599
 this very

00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:27.000
 day

00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:28.259
 what I

00:25:28.259 --> 00:25:28.960
 swore to

00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:29.400
 you by

00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:29.839
 the Lord

00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:30.339
 the God

00:25:30.339 --> 00:25:30.880
 of Israel

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.900
 Solomon

00:25:31.900 --> 00:25:32.599
 your son

00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:33.980
 shall be

00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:34.599
 king after

00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:35.660
 me and

00:25:35.660 --> 00:25:36.340
 he will

00:25:36.340 --> 00:25:37.060
 sit on

00:25:37.060 --> 00:25:37.800
 my throne

00:25:37.800 --> 00:25:38.640
 in my

00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:39.420
 place.

00:25:41.580 --> 00:25:42.019
 You see

00:25:42.019 --> 00:25:42.620
 David is

00:25:42.620 --> 00:25:43.140
 no longer

00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:44.080
 concerned about

00:25:44.080 --> 00:25:45.920
 home comforts

00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:46.600
 about his

00:25:46.600 --> 00:25:47.880
 cold toes

00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:49.720
 he's now

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:50.320
 seeking

00:25:50.320 --> 00:25:51.000
 first

00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:52.200
 the kingdom

00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:52.840
 of God

00:25:52.840 --> 00:25:54.860
 he does

00:25:54.860 --> 00:25:55.240
 what he

00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:55.720
 should have

00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:56.279
 been doing

00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:57.240
 all along

00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:59.100
 arrangements

00:25:59.100 --> 00:25:59.840
 are quickly

00:25:59.840 --> 00:26:00.300
 made

00:26:00.300 --> 00:26:00.980
 instructions

00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:01.620
 are given

00:26:01.620 --> 00:26:02.600
 verse 34

00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:04.799
 there shall

00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:05.319
 Zadok

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:05.939
 the priest

00:26:05.939 --> 00:26:06.480
 and Nathan

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:07.059
 the prophet

00:26:07.059 --> 00:26:07.839
 anoint him

00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.399
 king over

00:26:08.399 --> 00:26:08.819
 Israel

00:26:08.819 --> 00:26:10.179
 blow the

00:26:10.179 --> 00:26:10.539
 trumpet

00:26:10.539 --> 00:26:11.139
 and shout

00:26:11.139 --> 00:26:12.299
 long live

00:26:12.299 --> 00:26:13.159
 king Solomon

00:26:13.159 --> 00:26:15.059
 then you are

00:26:15.059 --> 00:26:15.559
 to go up

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:15.919
 with him

00:26:15.919 --> 00:26:16.459
 and he is

00:26:16.459 --> 00:26:16.839
 to come

00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:17.259
 and sit

00:26:17.259 --> 00:26:17.659
 on my

00:26:17.659 --> 00:26:17.939
 throne

00:26:17.939 --> 00:26:18.459
 and reign

00:26:18.459 --> 00:26:18.839
 in my

00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:19.199
 place

00:26:19.199 --> 00:26:20.199
 I have

00:26:20.199 --> 00:26:20.659
 appointed

00:26:20.659 --> 00:26:21.339
 him ruler

00:26:21.339 --> 00:26:21.939
 over

00:26:21.939 --> 00:26:22.619
 Israel

00:26:22.619 --> 00:26:23.779
 and Judah

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:27.240
 what a

00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:27.839
 difference

00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:28.459
 the word

00:26:28.459 --> 00:26:28.859
 of God

00:26:28.859 --> 00:26:29.379
 makes

00:26:29.379 --> 00:26:31.679
 it shakes

00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:32.500
 a frail

00:26:32.500 --> 00:26:33.320
 old man

00:26:33.320 --> 00:26:33.720
 out of

00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:34.480
 his selfish

00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:35.000
 folly

00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:36.340
 and has

00:26:36.340 --> 00:26:37.019
 him using

00:26:37.019 --> 00:26:37.920
 his last

00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:38.680
 words and

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:39.380
 energy

00:26:39.380 --> 00:26:40.759
 all for

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:41.240
 the building

00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:41.660
 up of

00:26:41.660 --> 00:26:42.039
 God's

00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:42.360
 kingdom

00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:44.320
 the kingdom

00:26:44.320 --> 00:26:45.019
 that looked

00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:45.779
 weak and

00:26:45.779 --> 00:26:46.400
 fallen

00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:49.100
 is now

00:26:49.100 --> 00:26:49.980
 faithfully

00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:51.299
 preserved

00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:53.660
 the king

00:26:53.660 --> 00:26:55.900
 is installed

00:26:55.900 --> 00:26:58.440
 Solomon

00:26:58.440 --> 00:26:59.980
 heir to

00:26:59.980 --> 00:27:00.799
 the kingship

00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:02.500
 is installed

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:03.680
 as king

00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:05.740
 the danger

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:06.279
 has been

00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:06.720
 averted

00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:07.879
 and we

00:27:07.879 --> 00:27:08.299
 can all

00:27:08.299 --> 00:27:09.139
 now breathe

00:27:09.139 --> 00:27:09.779
 a sigh

00:27:09.779 --> 00:27:10.460
 of relief

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:13.119
 but let's

00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:13.779
 not miss

00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:14.919
 the expectation

00:27:14.919 --> 00:27:15.819
 of what is

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:16.339
 to come

00:27:16.339 --> 00:27:17.339
 look at

00:27:17.339 --> 00:27:18.419
 verse 36

00:27:18.419 --> 00:27:21.159
 Benaniah

00:27:21.159 --> 00:27:21.720
 son of

00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:22.299
 Jehoiada

00:27:22.299 --> 00:27:23.139
 answered the

00:27:23.139 --> 00:27:23.440
 king

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:24.919
 amen

00:27:24.919 --> 00:27:26.779
 may the

00:27:26.779 --> 00:27:27.240
 lord

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:28.059
 the god

00:27:28.059 --> 00:27:28.720
 of my

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.039
 lord

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.559
 the king

00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:30.480
 so declare

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:30.859
 it

00:27:30.859 --> 00:27:31.579
 and then he

00:27:31.579 --> 00:27:32.240
 adds something

00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:32.659
 else he

00:27:32.659 --> 00:27:33.639
 says as

00:27:33.639 --> 00:27:34.200
 the lord

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:34.799
 was with

00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:35.500
 my lord

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:36.079
 the king

00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:38.179
 so may

00:27:38.179 --> 00:27:38.740
 he be

00:27:38.740 --> 00:27:39.519
 with Solomon

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.119
 to make

00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:40.779
 his throne

00:27:40.779 --> 00:27:41.740
 even

00:27:41.740 --> 00:27:42.399
 greater

00:27:42.399 --> 00:27:43.899
 than the

00:27:43.899 --> 00:27:44.419
 throne of

00:27:44.419 --> 00:27:45.279
 my lord

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:45.819
 king

00:27:45.819 --> 00:27:46.559
 David

00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:51.139
 you see

00:27:51.140 --> 00:27:52.880
 we will

00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:53.400
 short

00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:53.940
 change

00:27:53.940 --> 00:27:54.640
 ourselves

00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:56.160
 if we

00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:56.860
 stop

00:27:56.860 --> 00:27:57.380
 with

00:27:57.380 --> 00:27:57.800
 Solomon

00:27:57.800 --> 00:27:59.400
 yes

00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:00.020
 the kingdom

00:28:00.020 --> 00:28:00.440
 would

00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:01.380
 become

00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:02.000
 great

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:02.520
 under

00:28:02.520 --> 00:28:03.020
 Solomon

00:28:03.020 --> 00:28:04.259
 as we

00:28:04.259 --> 00:28:04.840
 will see

00:28:04.840 --> 00:28:05.400
 but we

00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:06.000
 will also

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:06.580
 discover

00:28:06.580 --> 00:28:07.400
 that Solomon

00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:09.100
 was actually

00:28:09.100 --> 00:28:09.500
 an even

00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:10.060
 greater

00:28:10.060 --> 00:28:10.620
 failure

00:28:10.620 --> 00:28:11.120
 than his

00:28:11.120 --> 00:28:11.520
 father

00:28:11.520 --> 00:28:14.400
 the kingdom

00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:15.740
 well it

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:16.180
 would only

00:28:16.180 --> 00:28:16.680
 become

00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:17.380
 truly

00:28:17.380 --> 00:28:18.020
 great

00:28:18.019 --> 00:28:19.859
 when god

00:28:19.859 --> 00:28:20.960
 installed his

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:21.920
 true and

00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:23.099
 faithful king

00:28:23.099 --> 00:28:24.579
 jesus christ

00:28:24.579 --> 00:28:26.740
 the true

00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:27.139
 king

00:28:27.139 --> 00:28:28.900
 who did

00:28:28.900 --> 00:28:29.599
 not fail

00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:31.819
 the king

00:28:31.819 --> 00:28:32.660
 who remained

00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:33.539
 faithful

00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:35.119
 the king

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:35.639
 who came

00:28:35.639 --> 00:28:36.420
 to serve

00:28:36.420 --> 00:28:36.680
 and

00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:37.819
 prioritize

00:28:37.819 --> 00:28:38.759
 the kingdom

00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:40.460
 the king

00:28:40.460 --> 00:28:40.839
 who would

00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:41.740
 not hide

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:42.339
 and bow

00:28:42.339 --> 00:28:43.019
 to pressure

00:28:43.019 --> 00:28:43.980
 and run

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:44.400
 away

00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:45.820
 but one

00:28:45.820 --> 00:28:46.259
 who would

00:28:46.259 --> 00:28:46.640
 bow

00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:47.500
 before his

00:28:47.500 --> 00:28:47.920
 god

00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:48.240
 in the

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:48.600
 garden

00:28:48.600 --> 00:28:49.120
 and say

00:28:49.120 --> 00:28:49.800
 not my

00:28:49.800 --> 00:28:50.160
 will

00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:51.980
 but your

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:52.600
 will be

00:28:52.600 --> 00:28:52.940
 done

00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:54.720
 your

00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:55.300
 kingdom

00:28:55.300 --> 00:28:57.720
 the one

00:28:57.720 --> 00:28:58.080
 who would

00:28:58.080 --> 00:28:58.600
 come and

00:28:58.600 --> 00:28:59.380
 give of his

00:28:59.380 --> 00:28:59.900
 life

00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:01.360
 to rescue

00:29:01.360 --> 00:29:01.980
 us from

00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:02.500
 all our

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:03.000
 failure

00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:03.519
 and all

00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:03.720
 our

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:04.180
 rebellion

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:05.100
 so that

00:29:05.100 --> 00:29:05.840
 we might

00:29:05.840 --> 00:29:06.640
 enter into

00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:07.500
 his kingdom

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:08.580
 and enjoy

00:29:08.580 --> 00:29:09.300
 his favour

00:29:09.300 --> 00:29:10.000
 for all

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:10.580
 eternity

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:13.619
 you see

00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:14.419
 despite the

00:29:14.419 --> 00:29:14.919
 apparent

00:29:14.919 --> 00:29:15.500
 weakness

00:29:15.500 --> 00:29:16.359
 and failure

00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:17.019
 of the

00:29:17.019 --> 00:29:17.379
 kingdom

00:29:17.379 --> 00:29:18.480
 god

00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:19.199
 is in

00:29:19.199 --> 00:29:19.779
 charge

00:29:19.779 --> 00:29:21.419
 and he

00:29:21.419 --> 00:29:22.299
 will ensure

00:29:22.299 --> 00:29:22.899
 that his

00:29:22.899 --> 00:29:23.519
 promised

00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:24.299
 kingdom

00:29:24.299 --> 00:29:25.019
 prevails

00:29:25.019 --> 00:29:26.059
 he will

00:29:26.059 --> 00:29:26.899
 have his

00:29:26.899 --> 00:29:27.319
 king

00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:29.259
 installed

00:29:29.259 --> 00:29:31.299
 over his

00:29:31.299 --> 00:29:31.779
 kingdom

00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:33.679
 the kingdom

00:29:33.679 --> 00:29:35.039
 is faithfully

00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:36.500
 preserved

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:39.299
 and so

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:40.980
 number

00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:41.460
 four

00:29:41.460 --> 00:29:43.119
 god's

00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:43.539
 kingdom

00:29:43.539 --> 00:29:44.919
 will

00:29:44.919 --> 00:29:46.000
 gloriously

00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:47.139
 prevail

00:29:47.139 --> 00:29:49.700
 solomon

00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:50.659
 is installed

00:29:50.659 --> 00:29:51.379
 as king

00:29:51.379 --> 00:29:53.419
 but

00:29:53.419 --> 00:29:55.159
 there is

00:29:55.159 --> 00:29:55.940
 still that

00:29:55.940 --> 00:29:56.919
 rebellious

00:29:56.919 --> 00:29:57.980
 adonijah

00:29:57.980 --> 00:30:00.799
 it's rather

00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:01.639
 comedic

00:30:01.639 --> 00:30:02.579
 what's going

00:30:02.579 --> 00:30:03.000
 on

00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:03.919
 look at

00:30:03.919 --> 00:30:04.879
 verse 41

00:30:04.879 --> 00:30:08.019
 the last

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.579
 time we

00:30:08.579 --> 00:30:08.879
 met

00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:09.640
 adonijah

00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:10.180
 he had

00:30:10.180 --> 00:30:10.680
 made the

00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:11.100
 great

00:30:11.100 --> 00:30:11.900
 proclamation

00:30:11.900 --> 00:30:12.340
 didn't

00:30:12.340 --> 00:30:12.500
 he

00:30:12.500 --> 00:30:13.040
 he says

00:30:13.040 --> 00:30:14.080
 i will

00:30:14.080 --> 00:30:14.700
 be king

00:30:14.700 --> 00:30:16.540
 now look

00:30:16.540 --> 00:30:16.880
 at verse

00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:17.500
 41

00:30:17.500 --> 00:30:18.540
 adonijah

00:30:18.540 --> 00:30:18.920
 and all

00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:19.380
 the guests

00:30:19.380 --> 00:30:19.680
 who were

 the trumpets

00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:25.660
 blasting in

00:30:25.660 --> 00:30:26.420
 the distance

00:30:26.420 --> 00:30:27.520
 as they were

00:30:27.520 --> 00:30:28.260

00:30:28.260 --> 00:30:28.680
 feast

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:29.580
 so we can

00:30:29.580 --> 00:30:30.240
 imagine the

00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:30.560
 scene

00:30:37.820 --> 00:30:38.240
 king

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:40.220
 and then

00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:41.000
 the trumpets

00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:41.480
 they hear

00:30:44.259 --> 00:30:45.000
 those trumpets

00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:45.579
 all about

00:30:45.579 --> 00:30:46.440

 my kingship

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:10.980

00:31:20.259 --> 00:31:20.740
 be

00:31:20.740 --> 00:31:23.039
 but god's

00:31:35.420 --> 00:31:36.040
 kingship

00:31:36.040 --> 00:31:37.160
 is enough

00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:37.780
 to send

00:31:37.780 --> 00:31:38.400
 them running

00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:39.200
 and scattering

 verse 49

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:41.380

00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:45.380
 and dispersed

00:31:45.380 --> 00:31:46.460

00:31:47.019 --> 00:31:47.500
 party

00:31:47.500 --> 00:31:48.420
 now they're

00:31:48.420 --> 00:31:49.060
 running for

00:31:49.060 --> 00:31:49.519
 fear of

00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:50.259

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:54.240
 adonijah was

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:54.700
 a threat

00:31:54.700 --> 00:31:55.400
 to solomon

00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.460
 now he's

00:31:57.460 --> 00:31:58.160
 in fear

00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:59.160

 verse 50

00:31:59.960 --> 00:32:02.100
 but adonijah

00:32:02.100 --> 00:32:02.920
 in fear

00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:03.519
 of solomon

00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:04.080
 went and

00:32:04.080 --> 00:32:04.640
 took hold

00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:04.960
 of the

00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:05.300
 horns

00:32:05.300 --> 00:32:05.660
 of the

00:32:05.660 --> 00:32:06.000
 altar

00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:07.700
 it's funny

00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:08.259
 isn't it

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:09.300

 verse 51

00:32:21.100 --> 00:32:22.880
 then solomon

00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:23.500
 was told

00:32:23.500 --> 00:32:24.400
 adonijah is

00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:25.080

00:32:37.019 --> 00:32:38.880
 to all those

00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:39.680

00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:48.940
 god has a

00:32:48.940 --> 00:32:49.279
 habit

00:33:43.379 --> 00:33:43.839
 isn't he

00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:45.680
 he lurks

00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:46.039
 in our

00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:46.539
 hearts

00:33:46.539 --> 00:33:48.480
 as we

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:49.059
 make our

00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:49.460
 grand

00:33:49.460 --> 00:33:50.319
 statements

00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:52.259
 i will

00:33:52.259 --> 00:33:52.960
 be king

00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.940
 he's

00:33:55.940 --> 00:33:56.279
 active

00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:56.900
 and busy

00:33:56.900 --> 00:33:57.460
 opposing

00:33:57.460 --> 00:33:58.099
 god's

00:33:58.099 --> 00:33:58.460
 church

00:33:58.460 --> 00:33:58.799
 and

00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:00.099
 persecuting

00:34:00.099 --> 00:34:00.379
 his

00:34:00.379 --> 00:34:00.819
 people

00:34:00.819 --> 00:34:03.099
 and as

00:34:03.099 --> 00:34:03.539
 we look

00:34:03.539 --> 00:34:03.960
 out it

00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:04.500
 appears

00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:05.220
 that god's

00:34:05.220 --> 00:34:05.559
 king

00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:06.359
 kingdom

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:07.200
 is weak

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:07.460
 and

00:34:07.460 --> 00:34:08.219
 dangerously

00:34:08.219 --> 00:34:08.679
 fragile

00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:11.260
 but surely

00:34:11.260 --> 00:34:12.199
 this reminds

00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:12.679
 us that

00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:13.300
 god's

00:34:13.300 --> 00:34:13.639
 king

00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:15.219
 will

00:34:15.219 --> 00:34:15.960
 always be

00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:16.360
 on the

00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:16.679
 throne

00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:18.000
 nothing

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:18.860
 will deter

00:34:18.860 --> 00:34:19.460
 god's

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:19.840
 plan

00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:21.220
 and so

00:34:21.220 --> 00:34:21.740
 today

00:34:21.740 --> 00:34:22.300
 jesus

00:34:22.300 --> 00:34:22.800
 christ

00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:23.600
 is still

00:34:23.600 --> 00:34:24.460
 on the

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:24.820
 throne

00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:25.880
 the world

00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:26.720
 may boast

00:34:26.720 --> 00:34:27.600
 and party

00:34:27.600 --> 00:34:29.300
 but one

00:34:29.300 --> 00:34:29.800
 day we

00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:30.400
 will hear

00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:31.340
 the trumpets

00:34:31.340 --> 00:34:31.800
 again

00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:34.480
 and at

00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:35.200
 the sound

00:34:35.200 --> 00:34:35.559
 of the

00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:36.120
 trumpets

00:34:36.120 --> 00:34:36.880
 the world

00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:37.780
 will stop

00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:38.120
 in their

00:34:38.120 --> 00:34:38.700
 tracks

00:34:38.700 --> 00:34:40.220
 and the

00:34:40.220 --> 00:34:40.960
 risen lord

00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:41.480
 jesus

00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:42.019
 the king

00:34:42.019 --> 00:34:42.640
 of kings

00:34:42.640 --> 00:34:43.320
 and the

00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:43.840
 lord of

00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:44.260
 lords

00:34:44.260 --> 00:34:45.120
 will come

00:34:45.120 --> 00:34:45.579
 again

00:34:45.579 --> 00:34:46.700
 in awesome

00:34:46.700 --> 00:34:47.320
 power

00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:48.280
 and in

00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:49.059
 magnificent

00:34:49.059 --> 00:34:49.760
 glory

00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:52.340
 and at

00:34:52.340 --> 00:34:52.980
 the name

00:34:52.980 --> 00:34:53.940
 of jesus

00:34:53.940 --> 00:34:56.100
 every knee

00:34:56.100 --> 00:34:56.860
 should bow

00:34:56.860 --> 00:34:58.660
 in heaven

00:34:58.660 --> 00:34:59.700
 and on

00:34:59.700 --> 00:35:00.100
 earth

00:35:00.100 --> 00:35:01.460
 and under

00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:02.039
 the earth

00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:03.760
 and every

00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:04.200
 tongue

00:35:04.200 --> 00:35:04.740
 acknowledge

00:35:04.740 --> 00:35:06.840
 that jesus

00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:07.519
 christ

00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:08.380
 is lord

00:35:08.380 --> 00:35:10.039
 to the

00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:10.760
 glory of

00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:11.200
 god

00:35:11.200 --> 00:35:12.519
 the father

00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:15.780
 the kingdom

00:35:15.780 --> 00:35:16.500
 appears

00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:17.239
 weak and

00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:17.619
 fragile

00:35:17.619 --> 00:35:20.380
 it looks

00:35:20.380 --> 00:35:21.099
 like such

00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:21.759
 a tiny

00:35:21.759 --> 00:35:22.239
 seed

00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:23.599
 we sometimes

00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:24.380
 struggle to

00:35:24.380 --> 00:35:25.099
 see what

00:35:25.099 --> 00:35:25.639
 god is

00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:26.039
 doing

00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.420
 but let us

00:35:28.420 --> 00:35:29.400
 be encouraged

00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:31.500
 god is in

00:35:31.500 --> 00:35:32.019
 charge

00:35:32.019 --> 00:35:33.759
 and he

00:35:33.759 --> 00:35:34.559
 will ensure

00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.239
 that his

00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:36.960
 promised

00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:37.599
 kingdom

00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:38.860
 prevails

00:35:38.860 --> 00:35:41.639
 let's pray

00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:42.400
 together
