00:01:00.000 Was Jesus a wino?

00:01:05.180 Like, that's literally the accusation of the Pharisees.

00:01:07.960 So let's dig into this, man, because this is a crazy thing.

00:01:10.880 You guys know what a wino is?

00:01:11.940 It's like an alcoholic.

00:01:14.640 They accuse him of being a wine-bibber, which, like, today would be like a wino, which would be like an alcoholic.

00:01:21.380 So watch how this thing unfolds, man.

00:01:23.280 We're in Mark 2.14, and it goes like this.

00:01:27.520 And as he passed by, he saw Levi.

00:01:29.640 Remember, Levi is Matthew.

00:01:30.820 That's the same guy.

00:01:31.500 I don't know if he nicknamed him that or if those two names are just compatible.

00:01:34.980 I'm not totally sure.

00:01:35.580 But Levi and Matthew are the same guy.

00:01:38.200 As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the receipt of custom and said unto him, follow me.

00:01:44.400 And he arose and followed him.

00:01:46.600 That was the great thing about all these disciples, dude, is he called them and they followed.

00:01:50.640 And it came to pass that as Jesus sat at meat in his house, that's Matthew's house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples.

00:02:01.880 For there were many, and they followed him.

00:02:05.240 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, how is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?

00:02:16.120 When Jesus heard it, he said unto them, they that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick.

00:02:22.900 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

00:02:27.060 So let's just notice a couple things real quick.

00:02:29.100 It's the call of Matthew, Levi.

00:02:31.320 We noticed that Jesus is not afraid to be intimate with sinners.

00:02:35.040 You know, sometimes you hear that maybe in church circles that like, oh, you know, don't be around that.

00:02:41.920 And it might get on you, like that sin and that all that might get on you.

00:02:47.000 Which is whatever, which is whatever.

00:02:48.760 There's a balance in this, but Jesus is not afraid to be intimate with sinners.

00:02:53.920 But the religious system that's always watching him, notice how it's always watching him.

00:02:58.720 That religious system is baffled by this, right?

00:03:02.500 They say, how?

00:03:03.960 Verse 16.

00:03:06.080 How?

00:03:07.320 Like, bro, how is this, man?

00:03:09.040 You're just at a party?

00:03:10.440 Like, let's be honest.

00:03:11.980 They're saying he's eating and drinking with sinners.

00:03:14.080 We understand what that means, right?

00:03:15.380 Like, like if you were to say, oh, I saw Bobby at the party, man.

00:03:19.100 He was eating and drinking.

00:03:20.180 Like, we know what that's referring to.

00:03:21.940 We all know what that's referring to.

00:03:24.600 And the religious system is saying, what?

00:03:26.880 How is this?

00:03:29.360 This is not the culture of their man-made religious system.

00:03:32.240 But Jesus doesn't care, right?

00:03:33.520 He's straight Bible. 0.87

00:03:34.500 He's not church culture.

00:03:35.760 He's not American church culture. 0.62

00:03:37.660 He's not Jewish church culture of that day.

00:03:40.640 He's just straight Bible.

00:03:41.880 They're saying, what?

00:03:42.620 How is this?

00:03:43.280 Our concept of religion is that, like, you just be really sweet and don't say cuss words

00:03:48.040 and eat Chick-fil-A.

00:03:48.880 Like, he's doing this other thing.

00:03:54.240 This happens in the library sometimes.

00:03:56.480 We see it where, like, homeless people come in.

00:03:58.240 We go through phases where we get a lot of homeless people.

00:04:01.100 And, like, the people in the back, they'll be doing Bible studies.

00:04:03.720 And they'll be very offended that, like, homeless people are back there.

00:04:10.160 Like, one time there was a chick who came in. 1.00

00:04:12.200 And she was just kind of chilling.

00:04:14.080 Gave her a coffee.

00:04:15.080 She went and sat in the back.

00:04:16.120 I let her know that there was a group coming in at 10.

00:04:18.160 And she was going to need to come out.

00:04:20.120 And so that group went back there.

00:04:22.820 They were a little uppity.

00:04:23.860 It was a Bible study group that's a little uppity. 0.97

00:04:26.340 And so she went to the bathroom. 1.00

00:04:28.420 They dumped her coffee. 0.89

00:04:30.040 Then she came out.

00:04:30.800 She went, I was back there.

00:04:31.960 They dumped my coffee.

00:04:32.740 She started making this big thing.

00:04:33.680 I said, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:04:34.280 Hold on.

00:04:34.820 Let's talk through this.

00:04:36.480 They dumped my coffee.

00:04:37.460 I said, no problem.

00:04:38.000 I'll get you another one.

00:04:38.900 Gave her another one. 0.60

00:04:39.840 And she laughed.

00:04:40.540 And everything was cool.

00:04:41.240 But then the one lady came out. 1.00

00:04:42.440 She goes, don't believe anything that lady says. 1.00

00:04:44.580 I saw her get kicked out of Spanish Springs the other night. 1.00

00:04:48.440 Something, something.

00:04:49.260 I said, oh, yeah.

00:04:50.100 You mean those people that Jesus died for?

00:04:51.720 Like those sinners?

00:04:53.220 Is that who you're talking about?

00:04:54.280 And the lady said, she went like this.

00:04:55.920 She goes, I feel convinced.

00:04:58.420 I just saw that on The Chosen last night.

00:05:01.340 That's what she said.

00:05:02.520 I'm just being honest with what she said.

00:05:04.540 And so this is still happening today, man.

00:05:07.080 Is people just, they don't, they're like, yeah,

00:05:08.840 I want you to come to church as long as you're just like me.

00:05:11.380 Like, I want you to come to my Bible study as long as you're just like me.

00:05:13.960 And they're offended to see you like vibing with sinners and stuff.

00:05:18.600 But do notice this too.

00:05:20.120 Let's have a balance here.

00:05:21.060 Jesus is not there getting trashed, right?

00:05:23.120 Like, he's there as the physician.

00:05:25.280 So let's notice that.

00:05:26.140 He says, he said, yeah, yeah, I'm here.

00:05:28.060 I'm eating and drinking with the publicans and sinners, but I'm not doing keg stands.

00:05:32.080 I'm not doing like crazy bonk tokes. 0.99

00:05:34.020 I'm not doing like all this crazy stuff that happens at parties.

00:05:36.760 I'm there as the physician.

00:05:38.380 He says, they that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick. 0.98

00:05:41.540 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

00:05:45.760 Let's look at Luke 5, 27 through 32.

00:05:49.600 This is another, this is going to kind of, this is going to be another example of the same story.

00:05:56.340 5, 27.

00:05:57.500 We're going to, we're going to probably tell this, I think in three different stories.

00:05:59.840 And after these things, he went forth and saw a publican named Levi.

00:06:04.440 That's Matthew sitting at the receipt of custom.

00:06:06.720 And he said unto him, follow me.

00:06:07.980 And he left all.

00:06:10.520 That's, that's a great thing.

00:06:11.820 If you can say that it's a funny thing when people talk about like Christian businesses,

00:06:14.980 we don't really have like a model of a Christian business in the Bible.

00:06:20.340 It's like dudes who just left.

00:06:22.000 So they're like a Christian business biblically is like a business that doesn't exist anymore.

00:06:27.320 Right now, if you're saying that like we're a Christian business in the sense that we're

00:06:31.460 obedient to Christ and like, that's how we model our life, then that's great. 1.00

00:06:35.360 But we don't necessarily have examples of like Christian business in the scripture.

00:06:41.280 And Levi made him a great feast.

00:06:43.100 So this, so this feast that's being talked about, it's at Levi's house.

00:06:46.200 Levi made him a great feast in his own house.

00:06:48.340 And there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.

00:06:54.420 Publicans are tax collectors, right? 1.00

00:06:56.220 Yes.

00:06:57.160 Which is what he was.

00:06:58.600 It's what Matthew slash Levi was.

00:07:03.940 Public and Levi made a great feast in his own house.

00:07:06.980 And there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.

00:07:10.300 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples saying,

00:07:14.440 why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

00:07:17.040 And Jesus answering said unto them, they that are whole need not a physician, but they that

00:07:22.140 are sick. 0.90

00:07:22.860 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

00:07:29.500 So you're sick and need a doctor, right?

00:07:33.160 Like that's got to be dealt with upfront.

00:07:35.220 Like you're not just coming in for a checkup.

00:07:37.480 You're not just adding Jesus to your life.

00:07:39.760 I know we've talked about this before that Jesus plus is wicked. 1.00

00:07:42.620 We talked about that last week that the I must be single.

00:07:44.880 It must be about Jesus and you're coming to Jesus with the mindset of I'm sick and I need

00:07:52.660 a doctor.

00:07:54.460 Anything other than that's not right, man.

00:07:56.480 If you're like, no, no, everything's good in my life.

00:07:58.420 I'm good.

00:07:58.820 And I'm just going to add Jesus to my life and it'll make it better.

00:08:02.480 No, no, no.

00:08:03.320 You've got to come to him under that context.

00:08:05.360 You're sick and you need a doctor.

00:08:08.420 Let's look at Matthew nine, nine.

00:08:11.260 What's interesting about this is it's Matthew that wrote it.

00:08:13.480 It's Matthew that it's about.

00:08:14.460 Remember Matthew and Levi is the same name, same guy.

00:08:18.140 So Matthew nine.

00:08:19.780 Jesus looked like he just liked to give a lot of nicknames, huh?

00:08:22.340 He did.

00:08:23.360 He did.

00:08:23.960 That was cool on your stuff.

00:08:25.360 Yeah.

00:08:25.520 He was about it.

00:08:26.880 Well, he's just a real guy, man.

00:08:28.220 He was, you know, the guy who like gives a lot of nicknames.

00:08:30.780 He's like one of those guys, dude.

00:08:32.660 Yeah.

00:08:32.820 Thanks out.

00:08:33.280 Exactly.

00:08:35.380 And as Jesus passed forth from sitting there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the receipt

00:08:39.980 of custom and he said unto him, follow me.

00:08:41.840 And he arose and followed him.

00:08:46.680 And it came to pass as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners

00:08:50.240 came and sat down with him and his disciples.

00:08:52.220 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, why eateth your master with publicans

00:08:56.860 and sinners?

00:08:57.580 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, they that behold need not a physician, but

00:09:03.100 they that are sick. 0.88

00:09:03.920 Now, this is what's added in this story that wasn't in the first two, but go and learn

00:09:08.280 what that means.

00:09:09.480 I will have mercy and not sacrifice for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners

00:09:15.720 to repentance.

00:09:18.020 He says, go and learn.

00:09:19.580 Remember, he says this to the people in the pulpit, the most educated people go and learn

00:09:26.480 what I mean by this, not go and memorize or go and have like a perfect memorization of

00:09:33.560 stuff.

00:09:33.760 So you can win debates.

00:09:34.700 No, no, no, no.

00:09:35.980 Go and get the meaning.

00:09:37.320 Go and learn the meaning of this.

00:09:39.700 Go and learn what the meaning is.

00:09:41.820 I will have mercy and not sacrifice.

00:09:45.320 What it's saying is God desires mercy and not sacrifice, right?

00:09:50.960 He desires something in your life, something that's real and inside you, as opposed to

00:09:58.120 some kind of external religious ceremony, right?

00:10:03.440 Which is what this had all turned into.

00:10:06.540 Let's see where he pulled this from, because Jesus is quoting the scripture here.

00:10:11.640 He's quoting Hosea.

00:10:13.300 This is the passage that he's talking about.

00:10:15.120 So let's pull that up just so we have the context for this.

00:10:17.980 Hosea 6, what is it, 4?

00:10:21.880 Hosea 6, 4.

00:10:27.660 Oh, Ephraim, what shall I do unto you?

00:10:29.940 Oh, Judah, what shall I do unto you? 1.00

00:10:32.040 Because your goodness is as morning cloud, and as the early dew, it goes away.

00:10:37.020 He's saying like, it's fake.

00:10:38.620 It's meaningless, right?

00:10:41.320 Like you have this goodness, but it's fickle.

00:10:43.620 It's there on Sunday morning.

00:10:44.900 And when you come in, you do the thing, but then it just kind of blows away like the morning

00:10:48.900 dew, like a cloud.

00:10:50.180 It's just gone.

00:10:51.660 Therefore, have I hoed them by the prophets.

00:10:53.980 I've slain them by the words of my mouth.

00:10:56.780 And thy judgments are as the light that goes forth, because I desired mercy and not sacrifice.

00:11:03.400 And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

00:11:06.740 But they, like men, have transgressed the covenant. 0.98

00:11:12.000 There have they dealt treacherously against me.

00:11:14.980 And that word treacherous is like cheating, like cheating, like adultery, right?

00:11:19.500 So what's he saying?

00:11:20.560 He's saying, I'm looking for a changed attitude of life.

00:11:23.640 It's like a changed attitude of life.

00:11:27.480 I'm looking for mercy.

00:11:28.680 I'm not looking for sacrifice, which is just this external religious activity.

00:11:35.580 I'm looking for mercy, kindness, loving kindness, goodness.

00:11:39.080 That's how that word has said is what it is in the Hebrew.

00:11:41.620 That's what it's talking about.

00:11:44.100 Because religious activity is fleeting.

00:11:47.300 It's fleeting.

00:11:48.060 He's saying it's here in the morning and then it's gone in the afternoon.

00:11:50.660 Like, I think we all understand that's what that's like.

00:11:53.140 Sometimes you people at the church show, it's just fleeting.

00:11:56.100 It comes and goes.

00:11:56.840 Knowledge of God, he says, I desired mercy and not sacrifice.

00:12:01.060 And knowledge of God, more than burnt offerings.

00:12:03.960 Relationship, like knowing me, being intimate with me,

00:12:06.760 more than just like some kind of external sacrifice that you can just do.

00:12:11.960 It means nothing.

00:12:14.560 So if your religious activity doesn't lead you into a living relationship with God,

00:12:19.360 then it's meaningless.

00:12:20.600 It's meaningless.

00:12:22.000 Like these were all supposed to point to something else,

00:12:24.240 which is supposed to guide them into a relationship with God.

00:12:26.540 Which is what our time in the Bible is supposed to do.

00:12:29.300 Our time in the Bible is supposed to lead us into intimacy with God.

00:12:33.140 It's not supposed to make us winners of debates,

00:12:36.220 people with flawless doctrine and flawless theology.

00:12:38.620 It's supposed to bring us into a living relationship with the author.

00:12:42.900 Remember Romans 12.1 is the ultimate solution to this.

00:12:46.600 Do we have it?

00:12:47.160 But I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,

00:12:51.380 that you present your bodies or your whole being, a living sacrifice, 0.63

00:12:56.460 wholly acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

00:12:59.300 For the longest time, these dudes were able to get away with these external sacrifices,

00:13:03.660 but they were able to live a completely different life.

00:13:06.920 These external things that was making them sort of look holy or appear holy,

00:13:12.500 but they were living totally different.

00:13:16.360 Romans 12.1 deals with that.

00:13:17.500 It says you must present your whole being a living sacrifice.

00:13:20.400 No more externals.

00:13:21.840 No more doing this religious activity, but living a completely other way.

00:13:26.060 We won't have that anymore.

00:13:26.920 And we're live at Planet Fitness.

00:13:29.840 Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes. 1.00

00:13:32.860 That's a hat trick of reps right there.

00:13:34.840 Now over to Emma Malte with the Hack Squad. 1.00

00:13:37.480 Talk about team carrying strength.

00:13:39.360 And here comes Emily Clark going for a new PR. 0.98

00:13:42.340 She lights the lamp with that lift. 0.72

00:13:44.340 Wow, what a workout, folks.

00:13:46.300 Hard to believe you get all of that with one membership.

00:13:48.920 Get started for $1 down, then $15 a month.

00:13:51.600 Offer ends January 9th.

00:13:53.320 $49 annual fee applies.

00:13:54.920 Planet Fitness, the official gym of Hockey Canada.

00:13:58.080 Okay, let's look at Matthew 12, 1 through 8.

00:14:03.500 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the corn,

00:14:06.580 and his disciples were in hunger and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.

00:14:12.720 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him,

00:14:14.980 Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day.

00:14:19.460 Watch that.

00:14:19.880 The Pharisees are always watching him.

00:14:22.100 Yeah, right?

00:14:22.580 There's these guys behind the corn or something.

00:14:24.100 Dude, they're just always watching him.

00:14:26.420 They're always trying to throw shade at him.

00:14:29.560 They're just always trying to mess him up.

00:14:31.480 They're always watching him.

00:14:33.280 They're always observing him.

00:14:34.520 And notice this phrase, not lawful.

00:14:37.200 Put that in your back pocket because as this story unfolds,

00:14:40.600 as this study unfolds,

00:14:42.100 you're going to want to remember that.

00:14:48.560 But he said unto them,

00:14:50.120 Have you not read what David did when he was hungered and they that were with him,

00:14:53.660 how he entered into the house of God and did eat the showbread,

00:14:56.680 which was not lawful?

00:14:57.980 Remember, not lawful.

00:15:00.160 David did eat the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat,

00:15:04.960 neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests.

00:15:08.060 There's a story about David fleeing for his life from Saul,

00:15:12.920 and he's starving and has no food,

00:15:15.500 and there's bread in the temple,

00:15:17.660 and Jesus is saying,

00:15:18.720 Don't you know he didn't starve to death?

00:15:21.280 Like, yeah, that was temple bread for a very specific religious activity.

00:15:25.500 Was David supposed to starve to death?

00:15:28.480 This is how rational Jesus is.

00:15:29.960 Think about this.

00:15:30.660 See, imagine you tell your kid,

00:15:32.720 You can't cross the street.

00:15:34.340 You can't go in the street.

00:15:35.220 And then they're getting chased by a bear,

00:15:37.260 and they'd stop at the street line.

00:15:38.820 Like, they're running, and they stop right at the street.

00:15:40.920 They go, Well, I can't go in the street.

00:15:43.260 And they get mauled by a bear.

00:15:45.180 Or the house is burning down, right?

00:15:46.900 The house is burning down.

00:15:48.380 Like, everything's burning,

00:15:49.820 and they're trying to run and get across the street

00:15:51.600 because everything's burning,

00:15:52.580 and the fire's about to get to them.

00:15:53.780 Like, Well, I can't cross the street.

00:15:55.280 Jesus is like, No, no.

00:15:57.380 That's not what this is intended to do.

00:16:01.140 Have you not read in the law how that on the Sabbath day

00:16:03.580 the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath

00:16:05.480 and are blameless?

00:16:06.920 Because remember, the beef is over the Sabbath.

00:16:09.120 And when he says profane the Sabbath,

00:16:10.800 he's saying they treat the Sabbath as a common day.

00:16:12.980 The priests in the temple,

00:16:15.140 they're still doing sacrifices.

00:16:16.900 They're still doing the stuff that they got to do,

00:16:18.980 even on the Sabbath day.

00:16:21.080 But I say unto you that in this place

00:16:22.700 is one greater than the temple.

00:16:23.980 But if you had known what this means,

00:16:27.180 I will have mercy and not sacrifice.

00:16:29.900 You would not have condemned the guiltless.

00:16:32.240 For the Son of Man is Lord,

00:16:34.440 even on the Sabbath day.

00:16:39.260 All right.

00:16:40.920 Let's look at how he breaks this down, too.

00:16:43.880 I don't know if we have to go to these passages,

00:16:46.080 but he's making these...

00:16:47.980 He's just making these points about the Sabbath.

00:16:51.700 Do you have the John 7 stuff?

00:16:55.040 So it's Numbers 28, 9, and 10.

00:16:57.400 If anybody was wondering what the verse is,

00:16:59.600 where it's talking about how the priests

00:17:01.260 do sacrifices on Sabbath days,

00:17:02.920 just like any other day.

00:17:03.760 That's Numbers 28, 9, and 10.

00:17:08.120 And on the Sabbath day,

00:17:09.300 two lambs are the first year without spot

00:17:11.080 and two-tenth deal of flour for a meat offering,

00:17:14.960 mingled with oil and drink offering thereof.

00:17:17.300 This is the burnt offering of every Sabbath 0.78

00:17:20.040 beside the continual burnt offering

00:17:21.780 and his drink offering.

00:17:23.320 Right.

00:17:23.540 So he's just making...

00:17:24.360 That's just the reference that, like, yeah,

00:17:26.200 the priests are still working on the Sabbath.

00:17:29.240 Right?

00:17:29.800 And then look how he compares this to them

00:17:32.440 in this day where he's dealing with them.

00:17:35.420 Moses, therefore, gave unto you circumcision, 0.97

00:17:37.700 not because it's of Moses, but of the fathers,

00:17:40.020 and you on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.

00:17:42.500 If a man on the Sabbath day receives circumcision 0.91

00:17:45.880 that the law of Moses shouldn't be broken,

00:17:47.840 you're angry at me because I made a man whole

00:17:50.140 on the Sabbath day?

00:17:51.280 That's when he heals a guy on the Sabbath day

00:17:52.660 and they hate him for it.

00:17:53.880 He's saying, guys, guys,

00:17:54.800 you're letting the Sabbath trap you.

00:17:56.720 It's trapping you.

00:17:59.120 Let's look at Luke 13, 15.

00:18:01.500 This is where he makes the point

00:18:02.640 that the animals,

00:18:06.040 the Lord then answered him and said,

00:18:07.500 you hypocrite, 0.79

00:18:08.200 doesn't each one of you on the Sabbath

00:18:11.400 loose his ox or his ass from the stall 0.99

00:18:13.580 and lead him away to watering?

00:18:15.780 He says, bro, bro,

00:18:16.760 you guys do stuff on the Sabbath.

00:18:18.280 You let your animals out.

00:18:19.480 Like, stop letting this law of the Sabbath trap you.

00:18:24.540 You're missing the point.

00:18:25.860 Don't miss the point of the Sabbath. 0.83

00:18:28.700 And the ultimate rule,

00:18:29.980 and the ultimate point of the Sabbath,

00:18:31.580 this is the ultimate thing.

00:18:32.720 Anybody who wants to debate and fight

00:18:34.260 and argue over the Sabbath,

00:18:35.420 because it's crazy.

00:18:36.360 What we're talking about,

00:18:38.300 you think this is like,

00:18:38.900 oh, this was just an issue back then.

00:18:40.260 It's still an issue in the church today, dude.

00:18:42.120 People are still beefing over the Sabbath, bro.

00:18:44.440 They're still beefing over the Sabbath

00:18:46.240 and food and drink, right?

00:18:50.900 Mark 2, 27 is the ultimate rule on the Sabbath.

00:18:53.460 This is what Jesus says.

00:18:54.580 The Sabbath was made for man 1.00

00:18:56.080 and not man for the Sabbath.

00:18:59.020 That's the ultimate rule on the Sabbath.

00:19:00.940 Just keep that in mind.

00:19:02.340 The Sabbath was not set in place to trap man.

00:19:06.360 Man wasn't made to obey the Sabbath.

00:19:09.320 The Sabbath was made to bless man.

00:19:11.740 Like as if God was to say,

00:19:13.100 hey man, if you take a rest one day a week,

00:19:15.640 it's good that you go hard six days a week.

00:19:17.880 You don't want to be somebody

00:19:18.620 who only works three days a week

00:19:19.760 and then is just chilling.

00:19:20.700 But you should go hard

00:19:21.800 and just trust me.

00:19:23.260 When you take that seventh day off,

00:19:24.620 God's saying, I got you.

00:19:26.040 I got you.

00:19:26.820 I'll take it from here.

00:19:27.500 You can trust me.

00:19:30.220 All right, let's unpack this thing with Jesus

00:19:32.580 not being like the religious system of his day.

00:19:36.340 We're going to follow this story out

00:19:38.040 a little bit further.

00:19:38.800 Matthew 11, 16 through 19.

00:19:43.320 But where unto shall I liken this generation?

00:19:46.280 Is it like unto children sitting in the markets

00:19:48.640 and calling unto their followers,

00:19:50.540 their fellows and saying,

00:19:51.880 we've piped unto you

00:19:53.380 and ye have not danced.

00:19:55.020 We've mourned unto you

00:19:55.920 and ye have not lamented.

00:19:56.960 For John came neither eating nor drinking

00:20:00.180 and they say he hath a devil.

00:20:02.280 That's John the Baptist he's speaking of.

00:20:04.540 The son of man came eating and drinking

00:20:06.520 and they say, behold,

00:20:07.720 a man gluttonous and a wine bibber.

00:20:09.940 Boom.

00:20:10.740 A friend of publicans and sinners.

00:20:12.460 But wisdom is justified of her children.

00:20:14.480 So do you see what I'm saying?

00:20:15.400 They accused him of being gluttonous

00:20:17.320 and a wine bibber.

00:20:18.200 They accused him of being a wino,

00:20:20.580 an alcoholic.

00:20:21.340 And I know there's some people

00:20:22.580 that are like,

00:20:26.360 oh no, you have to understand

00:20:28.020 the grape juice of that day

00:20:29.920 was only grape juice.

00:20:31.100 Okay, then, or the wine.

00:20:33.000 Oh, in the Bible,

00:20:33.660 when you talk about wine,

00:20:34.220 it's just grape juice.

00:20:35.160 Then why is there warnings

00:20:36.160 in the scripture about drunkenness?

00:20:37.900 Like it's clearly talking about alcohol.

00:20:39.820 Like this is clearly an accusation.

00:20:42.320 My take is that they saw him drinking

00:20:44.020 and so they accused him

00:20:45.300 of being a wine bibber.

00:20:47.440 Like that he was an alcoholic.

00:20:49.320 My views on alcohol

00:20:50.320 are similar to my views on money, right?

00:20:52.100 Like you have to be very careful with both.

00:20:55.260 There's much more warning

00:20:56.140 in the scripture about money

00:20:56.900 than there is about alcohol.

00:20:58.860 But like greed is way more dangerous

00:21:01.600 than alcoholism,

00:21:02.600 I think in America,

00:21:03.560 in a lot of circles.

00:21:05.000 But we don't tell people

00:21:06.040 you can't get a paycheck now.

00:21:07.280 You can't have a savings account, right?

00:21:09.560 Alcoholism is terrible.

00:21:10.660 Terrible things come from alcoholism.

00:21:12.280 I've witnessed them in my own life.

00:21:13.800 I've lived through it.

00:21:14.680 Like there's terrible things

00:21:15.820 that come from alcohol.

00:21:17.000 But the Christian life 0.99

00:21:18.320 is not saying

00:21:20.080 you can never touch it

00:21:20.920 because of that, right?

00:21:22.320 We just, we live in a balance.

00:21:23.640 We live in a balance.

00:21:25.980 But notice what he's saying

00:21:27.160 about this generation.

00:21:28.240 Now remember again,

00:21:29.140 remember what we said about Jesus?

00:21:30.320 He'll generalize an entire generation 0.99

00:21:32.040 and does not care

00:21:33.000 if that offends you.

00:21:34.680 He says,

00:21:35.040 where unto shall I liken this generation?

00:21:37.160 He doesn't say,

00:21:38.060 now I don't mean everybody.

00:21:39.960 It's like when the children

00:21:40.880 sitting in the markets

00:21:41.720 and calling unto their fellows

00:21:42.720 and saying we piped unto you

00:21:43.920 and you haven't danced.

00:21:44.780 We've mourned unto you

00:21:45.520 and you have not lamented.

00:21:47.020 What's he saying?

00:21:48.440 They're looking for a reaction.

00:21:50.820 Their whole thing is like,

00:21:52.700 I'm going to do this thing

00:21:54.080 and expecting some certain reaction from you.

00:21:57.700 And this is where people get offended.

00:21:59.500 This is where people get messed up in life

00:22:01.760 because they're doing something

00:22:03.380 and now they're expecting a reaction from you,

00:22:05.940 good or bad,

00:22:06.800 good or bad or whatever.

00:22:07.840 It's just they're doing a thing for reaction.

00:22:10.000 That's what tweeter basically is, right?

00:22:11.740 Yeah.

00:22:12.140 Is like you're just,

00:22:13.040 you're probing

00:22:13.780 and you're hitting

00:22:14.500 and you're just looking for a specific reaction.

00:22:17.140 Yeah.

00:22:17.420 He's saying that's nothing new.

00:22:18.800 The fact that we're like that today,

00:22:20.540 that's nothing new, man.

00:22:22.140 That's what that generation was like. 0.65

00:22:23.840 We want you,

00:22:25.620 not only that,

00:22:26.340 not only do we want a reaction,

00:22:27.840 we want a specific reaction

00:22:29.340 that we expect from you.

00:22:30.900 That's what he's saying.

00:22:32.720 And then it's intriguing

00:22:33.640 what he says about John the Baptist and Jesus.

00:22:35.700 He's saying you're not,

00:22:37.540 you guys aren't satisfied with either type.

00:22:40.200 You guys aren't going to be happy either way.

00:22:42.640 John the Baptist comes

00:22:43.640 and he don't dance.

00:22:44.540 He's not part of the scene, man.

00:22:46.120 Dude lives in the wilderness.

00:22:47.220 He's eating locusts and wild honey.

00:22:49.740 He doesn't dance.

00:22:50.620 He doesn't care.

00:22:51.120 And you guys said he has a demon.

00:22:52.920 The son of man comes.

00:22:54.000 He's eating and drinking.

00:22:55.100 He's dancing.

00:22:55.880 He's mingling with you guys.

00:22:57.480 And you say,

00:22:58.180 behold,

00:22:58.760 a winebibber

00:22:59.980 and a gluttonous man.

00:23:02.000 They look at him.

00:23:02.680 He's a glutton.

00:23:03.360 He's eating and drinking.

00:23:04.720 Look at the way he's carrying on.

00:23:06.600 They're not satisfied with anything.

00:23:09.540 Right?

00:23:10.040 So we're warned about money

00:23:11.280 because of greed

00:23:12.060 and we're warned about alcohol

00:23:13.420 because of drunkenness.

00:23:15.180 Right?

00:23:15.760 They're not talking about grape juice.

00:23:18.120 Let's look at Luke 10,

00:23:20.500 one through eight.

00:23:21.160 This is not going to be

00:23:21.940 like a super long session.

00:23:23.900 This isn't going to be

00:23:24.820 like the Jude studies.

00:23:29.480 After these things,

00:23:30.580 the Lord appointed over 70 also

00:23:32.520 and sent them to

00:23:34.040 and two before his face

00:23:35.780 into every city and place

00:23:37.560 whether he himself would come.

00:23:41.200 So this is Jesus

00:23:43.440 sending out the 70.

00:23:44.600 He's already sent out the 12, 0.83

00:23:46.060 right?

00:23:46.760 Now he's got another 70.

00:23:48.840 There are these forerunners

00:23:50.000 that he's going to send out

00:23:51.160 to go into cities

00:23:52.060 before he shows up,

00:23:53.740 before he gets there.

00:23:55.880 Therefore said he unto them

00:23:57.300 to the 70,

00:23:59.140 the harvest truly is great,

00:24:00.640 but the laborers are few.

00:24:03.240 Pray you therefore

00:24:03.980 the Lord of the harvest

00:24:04.940 that he would send forth laborers 0.99

00:24:06.680 into his harvest.

00:24:08.520 It's his harvest.

00:24:09.480 Pray for laborers.

00:24:13.820 Go your ways.

00:24:14.540 Behold, I send you forth

00:24:15.580 as lambs among wolves.

00:24:18.940 Carry neither purse

00:24:20.020 nor script nor shoes

00:24:21.060 and salute no man by the way.

00:24:23.200 And into whatsoever house

00:24:24.260 you enter,

00:24:24.840 first say peace be to this house.

00:24:26.800 And if the son of peace be there,

00:24:28.200 your peace shall rest upon it.

00:24:29.580 If not,

00:24:30.160 it shall turn to you again.

00:24:32.580 Look at the power we have

00:24:33.580 to use this force

00:24:34.960 in the universe called peace.

00:24:37.500 That's a whole other study

00:24:38.500 for another time,

00:24:39.240 but this thing,

00:24:40.160 peace is a very powerful force.

00:24:42.840 And in the same house,

00:24:44.160 remain eating and drinking

00:24:46.240 such things as they give.

00:24:48.900 Look,

00:24:49.260 he's giving the 70

00:24:50.320 the same instructions

00:24:51.260 that he lives by.

00:24:52.720 He goes into a party

00:24:54.160 at Matthew's house

00:24:54.880 and he's eating and drinking

00:24:56.140 whatever they're eating

00:24:57.220 and drinking.

00:24:58.100 I know that's offensive,

00:24:59.400 but that's how Jesus lived, man.

00:25:00.920 And that's how he instructed

00:25:02.360 the 70.

00:25:03.140 He gives them the same instructions

00:25:04.400 that he lives by.

00:25:05.880 He says,

00:25:06.160 look, man,

00:25:06.540 you go into a house,

00:25:07.780 remain there,

00:25:08.520 eating and drinking

00:25:09.260 whatever they give you

00:25:10.200 because the laborer

00:25:12.140 is worthy of his hire.

00:25:13.120 Go not from house to house.

00:25:15.420 So the context is he's saying,

00:25:17.160 let them take care of you.

00:25:18.520 You're there blessing them

00:25:19.460 in spiritual things.

00:25:20.600 Let them take care of you

00:25:21.500 in the natural things.

00:25:22.800 That's what he's saying

00:25:23.600 first and foremost.

00:25:24.600 But in the context,

00:25:25.660 he's saying,

00:25:26.140 eat and drink

00:25:26.700 whatever they put before you.

00:25:28.560 And into whatsoever city

00:25:30.120 you enter

00:25:30.700 and they receive you,

00:25:32.180 eat such things

00:25:32.920 as are set before you.

00:25:35.360 Same thing in the city, man.

00:25:36.720 Eat whatever they put before you.

00:25:38.340 I do think it's intriguing,

00:25:39.560 though,

00:25:39.760 that like.

00:25:41.940 Are these people all Jews? 0.52

00:25:43.780 Yes.

00:25:44.280 That's the context.

00:25:45.080 But they're also visiting Jews.

00:25:47.140 Yes.

00:25:47.700 OK.

00:25:48.220 All right.

00:25:48.660 Yes.

00:25:50.380 So,

00:25:50.880 but we're going to deal

00:25:51.760 with that topic in a minute,

00:25:52.820 too,

00:25:52.960 because you're talking

00:25:53.380 about like the blanket.

00:25:55.480 Well, just.

00:25:56.200 Yes.

00:25:56.520 Coming out of heaven.

00:25:57.300 But just like Jewish, 1.00

00:25:58.520 like kosher rules

00:26:00.200 and what are they eating

00:26:01.400 according to law.

00:26:02.560 But then we're going to deal

00:26:03.560 with it outside of this

00:26:04.980 as we as we continue.

00:26:06.580 That expands.

00:26:07.360 Obviously.

00:26:07.740 Yes.

00:26:08.240 OK.

00:26:08.540 Yes.

00:26:09.680 But I do think it's interesting.

00:26:10.900 He says in any house,

00:26:11.940 it's safe to eat and drink.

00:26:13.320 When he says when you go

00:26:14.200 in the city, though,

00:26:14.940 he doesn't mention drinking.

00:26:16.120 I think that's intriguing.

00:26:17.560 I think it's intriguing.

00:26:18.540 I think that

00:26:20.440 there's something

00:26:21.480 if you're in a house,

00:26:22.620 you're with loved ones,

00:26:23.980 people you can trust.

00:26:25.320 That's an environment.

00:26:26.400 Yeah.

00:26:26.600 Eat and drink,

00:26:27.020 whatever you want.

00:26:27.600 If you're in the city,

00:26:28.620 he doesn't say drink.

00:26:31.040 Like, imagine you're in the city,

00:26:32.940 like, well,

00:26:33.240 yeah, eat whatever you want.

00:26:34.400 But I'd be careful

00:26:35.060 with the drinking

00:26:35.700 in a city environment

00:26:36.780 in a home that

00:26:37.960 that's where it's pleasant.

00:26:38.940 That's where it's pleasant.

00:26:39.580 You have a couple of drinks.

00:26:40.740 You're with loved ones.

00:26:42.020 You open up a little bit.

00:26:43.480 You make yourself

00:26:43.920 a little vulnerable

00:26:44.640 with people and talk about

00:26:45.660 things you wouldn't

00:26:46.140 normally talk about.

00:26:47.360 And there's this trust

00:26:48.500 that you have with one another.

00:26:49.860 Be careful doing that

00:26:50.760 in a city.

00:26:51.660 Be careful with that.

00:26:53.320 Yeah.

00:26:53.540 Cities are traps, dude.

00:26:54.940 Too many people.

00:26:56.000 Traps.

00:26:56.320 Study the scripture, bro.

00:26:57.480 The city,

00:26:58.360 not good stuff

00:26:59.120 happening in cities.

00:27:00.180 Yeah.

00:27:01.120 And heal the sick

00:27:01.900 that are therein

00:27:02.660 and say unto them,

00:27:03.600 the kingdom of God

00:27:04.420 has come nigh unto you.

00:27:06.360 But into whatsoever city

00:27:07.360 you enter

00:27:07.940 and they receive you not,

00:27:09.900 make sure you stay there

00:27:11.300 and argue with them

00:27:12.100 and prove to them

00:27:12.740 that they're wrong.

00:27:15.320 No,

00:27:15.680 it doesn't say that.

00:27:16.820 It doesn't say that.

00:27:18.100 But into whatsoever city

00:27:19.100 you enter

00:27:19.520 and they receive you not,

00:27:20.760 don't sweat it.

00:27:21.700 Go your ways

00:27:22.380 out into the street

00:27:23.120 to the same

00:27:23.580 and say,

00:27:24.040 even the very dust

00:27:25.000 of your city

00:27:25.500 which cleaves on us,

00:27:27.140 we just wipe it off

00:27:28.180 against you.

00:27:29.500 Notwithstanding,

00:27:30.000 be sure of this,

00:27:30.720 that the kingdom of God

00:27:31.600 has come close unto you.

00:27:33.500 Like,

00:27:33.800 you're gonna be held

00:27:34.520 responsible

00:27:35.020 for how you respond

00:27:36.020 to this,

00:27:36.900 right?

00:27:38.860 But just know

00:27:39.700 the kingdom of God

00:27:40.520 came in your midst.

00:27:42.460 Just know the kingdom

00:27:43.100 of God was among you

00:27:44.160 and this was your reaction

00:27:45.460 to it.

00:27:45.900 I just added that in.

00:27:46.780 I don't even think

00:27:47.240 that was in the notes.

00:27:48.360 But it's just intriguing.

00:27:49.980 Jesus doesn't say

00:27:50.560 stick around

00:27:51.280 and make sure

00:27:51.820 you argue with them

00:27:52.680 and show them

00:27:53.220 that you're right

00:27:54.180 and they're wrong.

00:27:55.060 He says,

00:27:55.280 no,

00:27:55.420 no,

00:27:55.580 man,

00:27:55.740 just walk away.

00:27:56.900 Knock the dust

00:27:57.500 off your shoes.

00:27:58.240 Don't sweat it.

00:27:59.040 Don't sweat it.

00:27:59.640 Keep moving.

00:28:04.820 Okay,

00:28:05.580 so,

00:28:06.020 so,

00:28:06.680 so far

00:28:07.140 the context is

00:28:08.420 eating,

00:28:10.300 drinking,

00:28:10.920 and the Sabbath,

00:28:12.220 right?

00:28:12.860 Notice that

00:28:13.440 these are hang-ups.

00:28:14.780 These are hang-ups

00:28:15.780 for religious people,

00:28:16.800 man.

00:28:17.720 Eating,

00:28:18.300 drinking,

00:28:18.600 and the Sabbath

00:28:19.080 are still hang-ups

00:28:20.320 for the church today.

00:28:22.200 Some would say

00:28:22.680 even more now

00:28:23.320 than they ever were.

00:28:24.480 Let's look at,

00:28:25.060 like,

00:28:25.240 the ultimate word

00:28:26.180 on this.

00:28:27.080 What I think

00:28:27.520 is the ultimate word

00:28:28.260 on this

00:28:28.560 is Romans 14.

00:28:30.560 And we're live

00:28:31.500 at Planet Fitness.

00:28:32.660 Here's Natalie Spooner

00:28:57.920 Planet Fitness,

00:28:58.740 the official gym

00:28:59.480 of Hockey Canada.

00:29:00.280 If we look at Romans 14,

00:29:03.040 we're going to really

00:29:05.320 unpack this.

00:29:12.560 Him that is weak

00:29:13.660 in the faith

00:29:14.240 receive you,

00:29:15.460 but not to doubtful

00:29:18.080 disputations.

00:29:19.660 For one believes

00:29:20.820 that he may eat

00:29:21.620 all things.

00:29:22.960 Another who is weak

00:29:24.020 eats herbs

00:29:24.780 or only vegetables.

00:29:26.040 This is where

00:29:28.480 we just jumped

00:29:29.140 from the whole

00:29:29.660 Jewish thing.

00:29:30.300 This is written

00:29:30.680 to the Romans.

00:29:31.760 Right?

00:29:32.000 This is Paul's

00:29:32.440 letter to the Romans.

00:29:33.580 So now we're not

00:29:34.380 in the Jewish context

00:29:35.300 anymore.

00:29:36.440 And he's talking

00:29:36.980 to the church

00:29:37.520 at Rome,

00:29:38.240 which is made up

00:29:40.700 of,

00:29:41.000 I think at the

00:29:41.400 very end of Romans,

00:29:42.140 there's like six

00:29:42.940 house churches named,

00:29:44.480 but it's the church

00:29:45.420 at Rome

00:29:45.880 because like the church

00:29:46.940 was only separated

00:29:47.640 by geography before.

00:29:49.360 He didn't write

00:29:50.020 this letter

00:29:50.560 and then at the

00:29:51.240 end say,

00:29:52.280 blessed first

00:29:52.940 Baptist and second

00:29:54.080 Baptist and third

00:29:54.920 Baptist and the

00:29:55.680 Presbyterian church

00:29:56.560 and the Pentecostal

00:29:57.400 church and the

00:29:58.080 Methodist church.

00:29:58.760 No, no, no.

00:29:59.080 He just said the

00:29:59.560 church that meets

00:30:00.140 in such and such

00:30:00.800 house, the church

00:30:01.900 at such and such

00:30:02.580 house.

00:30:03.280 That's all the

00:30:04.100 church at Rome,

00:30:05.120 but it's divided

00:30:06.480 into smaller

00:30:07.500 fellowships,

00:30:09.200 smaller groups

00:30:10.080 that meet in

00:30:10.600 homes.

00:30:11.660 Nevertheless,

00:30:12.320 he's saying him

00:30:12.900 that is weak

00:30:13.440 in the faith

00:30:14.040 receive like

00:30:15.520 somebody who's

00:30:16.140 new,

00:30:17.020 somebody who's

00:30:18.020 weak in the

00:30:18.620 faith.

00:30:19.100 Maybe they're

00:30:19.420 not new.

00:30:19.840 They're just weak

00:30:20.460 in the faith.

00:30:21.700 Receive them,

00:30:22.520 but don't argue

00:30:23.680 and fight with

00:30:24.300 them, especially

00:30:25.040 don't argue

00:30:25.840 with immature

00:30:26.340 believers.

00:30:28.280 This happens in

00:30:29.060 the coffee shop

00:30:29.620 a lot.

00:30:30.080 You'll get a

00:30:30.440 young person.

00:30:33.380 You say,

00:30:34.040 hey, what you

00:30:34.380 reading in the

00:30:34.800 Bible? 0.83

00:30:35.120 They say, oh,

00:30:35.640 I'm in such

00:30:36.100 and such

00:30:36.400 passage.

00:30:37.560 And you love

00:30:38.660 them and you

00:30:39.200 start to talk

00:30:39.760 about that

00:30:40.140 passage a little

00:30:40.800 bit.

00:30:41.640 They just read

00:30:42.320 the passage for

00:30:42.960 the first time

00:30:43.660 and they read

00:30:44.320 the commentary

00:30:44.820 on it.

00:30:45.940 And now they're

00:30:46.700 telling you how

00:30:47.360 you're wrong,

00:30:47.820 what you're talking

00:30:48.400 to them about.

00:30:48.960 This happens

00:30:49.700 all the time.

00:30:50.180 And that

00:30:50.700 scenario, don't

00:30:51.740 argue with them.

00:30:52.500 Just nod your

00:30:53.020 head and smile and

00:30:53.780 know that you love

00:30:54.360 them.

00:30:54.780 Don't argue with

00:30:55.560 the weaker

00:30:55.880 brother.

00:30:56.840 They're positive

00:30:57.700 that they're right

00:30:58.380 because they just

00:30:58.820 read a commentary.

00:30:59.700 It's their first

00:31:00.580 passage.

00:31:01.340 And they read a

00:31:02.060 commentary where a

00:31:02.800 guy explains it and

00:31:04.060 boom, they tell you

00:31:04.880 right now, you've read

00:31:05.740 it a hundred times.

00:31:06.480 They explain to you

00:31:07.200 that you're wrong.

00:31:08.500 You just smile.

00:31:09.280 You love them.

00:31:09.980 That's it.

00:31:11.040 Him that is weak in

00:31:11.800 the faith receive, but

00:31:13.280 not to doubtful

00:31:14.300 disputations, because

00:31:15.800 one believes that he

00:31:16.760 can eat everything.

00:31:18.360 Another who is weak

00:31:19.400 eats only herbs or

00:31:20.580 vegetables.

00:31:21.900 Let not him that

00:31:22.500 eats everything

00:31:23.900 despise him that

00:31:25.540 won't eat, that

00:31:27.500 won't eat everything.

00:31:29.020 Let not him that

00:31:29.660 eats despise him that

00:31:30.620 eats not.

00:31:31.340 And let not him

00:31:32.220 which eats not judge

00:31:33.920 him that eats.

00:31:34.780 For God has

00:31:36.840 received him.

00:31:39.080 Who art thou that

00:31:40.080 judge another man's 0.59

00:31:41.040 servant?

00:31:41.760 To his own master he

00:31:43.020 stands or falls.

00:31:44.280 Yet he shall be

00:31:44.900 holden up, for God

00:31:45.880 is able to make him

00:31:46.660 stand.

00:31:48.020 This is big, dude.

00:31:49.340 This is big.

00:31:50.660 This is what we're

00:31:51.300 getting to.

00:31:54.120 So now we're

00:31:54.700 talking about food,

00:31:55.380 right?

00:31:55.560 We're talking about

00:31:55.960 food and wine.

00:31:57.400 And in verse 21 of

00:31:58.320 Romans, verse 21 in

00:32:00.980 Romans 14, he's going

00:32:01.980 to, he pulls wine into

00:32:03.360 the discussion.

00:32:03.980 So it's about food

00:32:05.080 right here in verses

00:32:05.920 one through four.

00:32:06.740 But trust me, this is

00:32:07.720 all still about food,

00:32:09.620 alcohol, and the

00:32:11.380 Sabbath.

00:32:12.080 It's still about all

00:32:13.500 this, man.

00:32:14.120 Watch this.

00:32:16.240 Look at verse two.

00:32:17.100 He says, for one

00:32:17.620 believes that he can

00:32:18.340 eat everything.

00:32:19.820 Another who is weak

00:32:21.020 eats only herbs or

00:32:22.720 vegetables.

00:32:23.560 Who's the weaker

00:32:24.340 one?

00:32:27.920 The one with the

00:32:28.780 extra rules.

00:32:29.760 Yeah.

00:32:30.000 The one who puts

00:32:30.720 extra rules on.

00:32:31.980 The vegan.

00:32:32.740 Yeah.

00:32:32.980 The one who says,

00:32:33.740 oh, no, I'm

00:32:34.720 super holy.

00:32:35.680 I don't eat pig and

00:32:36.940 lobster and this other

00:32:38.060 stuff.

00:32:38.460 That's the weaker one

00:32:39.340 in the context.

00:32:40.680 In the context.

00:32:41.660 Right?

00:32:43.620 Now, if you're doing it

00:32:44.400 for health reasons,

00:32:45.260 then amen.

00:32:45.840 But they're saying in

00:32:46.820 like a spiritual

00:32:47.780 context, oh, we

00:32:49.220 can't.

00:32:50.080 We can't.

00:32:50.800 According to

00:32:51.320 Christianity, eat this, 1.00

00:32:52.440 this, and this.

00:32:52.960 That's the weaker one.

00:32:54.120 That's the weaker one.

00:32:55.240 We're going to unpack

00:32:55.920 this.

00:32:56.240 I know that's offensive

00:32:56.900 to some initially, but

00:32:57.860 we're going to unpack

00:32:58.460 this.

00:32:59.140 Think about this, man,

00:33:00.260 with the extra rules.

00:33:01.440 Think about the chick

00:33:02.140 Eve when Satan says,

00:33:05.900 oh, man, you could eat

00:33:08.300 of the tree of the

00:33:08.880 knowledge of good and

00:33:09.440 evil.

00:33:10.000 She says something to

00:33:11.020 the extent of we can

00:33:12.060 eat of the tree.

00:33:13.420 No.

00:33:13.560 God didn't say, he

00:33:17.600 said we can have

00:33:18.240 everything, but we

00:33:19.420 can't eat or touch of

00:33:21.400 the tree of the

00:33:21.880 knowledge of good and

00:33:22.360 evil.

00:33:22.660 She added in an extra

00:33:24.020 thing that isn't in the

00:33:25.720 initial thing that God

00:33:26.680 said to Adam, which is

00:33:27.960 intriguing.

00:33:28.480 I don't know what to

00:33:29.020 make of that because

00:33:29.620 sometimes I think like

00:33:30.300 Adam was like, yeah,

00:33:30.940 don't even touch it,

00:33:31.640 Eve.

00:33:31.920 Don't even touch it.

00:33:32.820 There's another good

00:33:33.500 layer, but who knows?

00:33:34.640 Maybe Eve like added on 1.00

00:33:36.040 this extra rule.

00:33:36.980 And I think the real

00:33:38.260 concern with like adding

00:33:39.300 on extra rules is like

00:33:40.880 love God with all your

00:33:42.800 heart, mind, soul,

00:33:43.480 and strength and love

00:33:44.420 your neighbor as

00:33:44.980 yourself, you're going

00:33:46.400 to have your hands full

00:33:47.000 just obeying that.

00:33:47.900 You start adding on

00:33:48.880 these extra rules,

00:33:49.940 especially these

00:33:50.600 external rules.

00:33:53.900 Like you're just

00:33:54.520 making this more

00:33:55.080 complicated.

00:33:55.780 Trust me, you got your

00:33:56.600 hands full with love

00:33:58.040 God with all your

00:33:58.720 heart, mind, soul,

00:33:59.360 and strength and love

00:34:00.240 your neighbor as

00:34:00.760 yourself.

00:34:01.300 You got your hands

00:34:02.060 full with that.

00:34:06.580 Let's look at 1

00:34:07.620 Corinthians 6, 12,

00:34:09.440 and 13.

00:34:10.080 Do we have those?

00:34:11.280 If we look at 1

00:34:12.060 Corinthians 6, 12,

00:34:13.080 and 13, something

00:34:14.000 super offensive is

00:34:16.920 going to get said.

00:34:17.880 Yeah, there it is.

00:34:18.820 All things are lawful.

00:34:22.000 Remember we said put

00:34:23.120 that in your back

00:34:23.600 pocket earlier that the

00:34:24.660 Pharisees accused Jesus 1.00

00:34:25.600 of doing a thing that

00:34:26.280 was not lawful?

00:34:28.900 You got that in your

00:34:29.620 back pocket?

00:34:30.620 All things are lawful.

00:34:35.100 Okay, this is, okay,

00:34:36.820 let's just read it.

00:34:37.800 Let's just read it.

00:34:38.360 All things are lawful

00:34:39.700 unto me, but all

00:34:40.480 things are not

00:34:41.040 expedient.

00:34:41.940 All things are lawful

00:34:43.100 for me, but I will not

00:34:43.920 be brought under the

00:34:44.740 power of any.

00:34:45.480 I think we can

00:34:45.940 understand that, right?

00:34:50.380 All things are

00:34:51.280 lawful, but I won't

00:34:52.940 be brought under the

00:34:53.800 power of any.

00:34:55.140 Can a Christian 0.50

00:34:56.080 partake of nicotine?

00:34:57.500 All things are

00:34:58.220 lawful.

00:34:58.940 Just be careful with

00:34:59.660 that one because that

00:35:00.560 thing will get you

00:35:01.500 addicted and bring you

00:35:02.540 under the power of it.

00:35:03.700 Do you see what I'm

00:35:04.160 saying?

00:35:04.800 You see what I'm

00:35:05.080 saying?

00:35:05.680 All things are

00:35:06.540 lawful.

00:35:07.740 The reason we don't

00:35:08.760 like this, do we

00:35:11.460 have verse 13 too?

00:35:12.360 Let's look at 13.

00:35:13.360 Meats for the belly

00:35:14.320 and the belly for 0.99

00:35:15.180 meats, but God shall

00:35:16.100 destroy both it and

00:35:17.520 them.

00:35:19.020 Just that's what I

00:35:19.700 wanted to finish with

00:35:20.340 because this is about

00:35:21.380 food.

00:35:24.200 The only purpose of

00:35:25.200 meat is it goes in

00:35:25.980 the belly.

00:35:26.420 The only reason the

00:35:27.340 belly's there is to

00:35:28.240 eat meat, to eat

00:35:29.500 food.

00:35:30.900 Both of those are

00:35:31.640 going to die eventually.

00:35:32.500 It's not going to

00:35:32.840 matter, right?

00:35:34.720 All things are

00:35:35.500 lawful.

00:35:36.060 This is the crux of

00:35:37.060 it.

00:35:37.440 This is the crux of

00:35:38.200 it.

00:35:39.020 Man is saying, give me

00:35:40.240 rules.

00:35:42.680 This is a wild thing.

00:35:43.860 This is a very wild

00:35:44.660 thing.

00:35:44.920 I don't think a lot of

00:35:45.500 people understand.

00:35:46.360 Man is saying in the

00:35:47.700 Christian faith, give me

00:35:48.640 rules.

00:35:49.720 God is saying all

00:35:51.100 things are lawful.

00:35:52.620 Why would he do that?

00:35:54.200 Well, one reason man

00:35:55.240 would say, give me

00:35:56.740 rules.

00:35:57.380 There's one thing I've

00:35:58.260 observed in man.

00:36:00.160 Man loves to be right.

00:36:02.440 Man loves to be right.

00:36:04.880 If there's one thing

00:36:06.020 that men who love to

00:36:07.220 be right, if there's

00:36:08.660 one thing they love

00:36:09.220 more than being right,

00:36:11.120 it's that you're

00:36:11.660 wrong.

00:36:13.080 They love to be right,

00:36:14.640 but they love more

00:36:15.600 that not only are they

00:36:16.560 right, but you're

00:36:17.500 wrong.

00:36:18.860 Men love that. 0.84

00:36:20.420 So if they can say,

00:36:21.420 oh, the Bible is a 1.00

00:36:22.500 rule book, it just has

00:36:23.520 all these rules, then I

00:36:25.300 can be right and you

00:36:26.240 can be wrong.

00:36:26.920 And they're fighting

00:36:27.840 with the world over it.

00:36:29.140 They're fighting within

00:36:30.040 the church over it.

00:36:31.180 They're cutting each

00:36:31.960 other apart in the

00:36:32.880 church over rules, right?

00:36:35.200 Because man wants rules.

00:36:37.200 What's another reason man

00:36:38.380 wants rules?

00:36:38.900 And I thought about this

00:36:39.640 a lot, dude.

00:36:41.240 I really think that

00:36:42.680 people want to be able

00:36:44.720 to check the boxes.

00:36:46.640 They want to say, okay,

00:36:47.480 what's the rules?

00:36:48.740 What's the bare minimum

00:36:49.560 requirement for salvation?

00:36:51.300 Because once I know that,

00:36:52.800 I'm going to check all the

00:36:54.120 boxes and then go get

00:36:55.420 back to my busy life.

00:36:56.840 And God's like, yeah,

00:36:57.900 that ain't going to

00:36:58.380 happen.

00:36:59.180 That ain't going to

00:36:59.980 happen.

00:37:00.400 The rules, in a sense,

00:37:02.580 are that it's an

00:37:03.600 abdication of duty,

00:37:04.840 though.

00:37:05.640 And I'd like that

00:37:07.120 sometimes where it's

00:37:08.700 like you're given a

00:37:09.900 thing and I go, what's

00:37:11.760 the rules for the thing

00:37:12.820 because I don't want to

00:37:13.960 beseech what was given

00:37:15.140 me.

00:37:15.920 So now I'm putting the

00:37:16.740 responsibility back on

00:37:17.920 the giver, which is

00:37:19.180 probably a sin.

00:37:20.300 No, which is probably

00:37:21.060 actually lovely under the

00:37:22.440 context, man, is this

00:37:23.600 they want to do this

00:37:25.080 right.

00:37:26.460 I don't know what to do.

00:37:27.780 Yeah, but sometimes it

00:37:28.900 seems like he's like,

00:37:29.880 hey, that stuff's there.

00:37:31.540 It's all lawful.

00:37:32.740 Yeah.

00:37:32.980 Figure it out, dummy.

00:37:34.460 Not so much that, but be

00:37:36.300 led by the spirit because

00:37:38.160 that's really the context

00:37:39.220 is if the law taught us

00:37:41.540 anything, it's that we

00:37:42.280 can't obey the law.

00:37:44.040 Like that was the

00:37:44.540 context of the law.

00:37:45.620 You can unpack that kind

00:37:46.700 of in the Galatian letter

00:37:47.860 and earlier in Romans that

00:37:49.940 like here's all these

00:37:50.780 rules.

00:37:51.360 And by the way, they're

00:37:52.080 just there to show you

00:37:52.860 that you can't do it.

00:37:54.560 Yeah.

00:37:55.000 Nobody was made right by

00:37:57.320 the law.

00:37:58.580 All humans from the 1.00

00:37:59.360 beginning of time and

00:38:00.620 forever are saved by

00:38:01.640 grace through faith.

00:38:03.020 Old Testament saints were

00:38:05.200 looking forward at the

00:38:06.240 cross.

00:38:07.300 New Testament saints like

00:38:08.320 us were looking back at

00:38:09.420 the cross, right?

00:38:10.200 It's just like if you're

00:38:11.100 on the planet and two

00:38:12.860 people are in different

00:38:13.500 spots on the planet and

00:38:14.600 they're both looking at

00:38:15.320 the moon from two

00:38:16.520 different spots.

00:38:17.100 Same thing.

00:38:17.860 It's the same thing, man.

00:38:19.240 Like they were looking

00:38:20.400 forward at the cross and

00:38:22.220 resurrection of Christ.

00:38:22.960 We look back at it, but

00:38:24.620 all men are saved by

00:38:25.580 grace through faith.

00:38:26.400 Nobody was justified by

00:38:27.460 the law.

00:38:27.940 The Bible goes to great

00:38:28.800 lengths to explain that

00:38:29.720 the law was just there to

00:38:31.440 be a tutor to them, to

00:38:33.020 show them that they

00:38:33.800 couldn't do it in their

00:38:34.420 own strength.

00:38:35.460 Now we are led by the

00:38:37.080 spirit.

00:38:37.560 Like that's the

00:38:38.280 difference.

00:38:39.580 That's the difference.

00:38:40.480 It's not a set of rules

00:38:41.520 that you can just check,

00:38:42.560 check, check, check and

00:38:43.620 go get back to your busy

00:38:44.540 life.

00:38:44.940 Because if your desire is

00:38:46.280 to just go get back to

00:38:47.100 your busy life and not

00:38:48.100 live in obedience and

00:38:48.960 faith to God, you're not

00:38:50.400 saved, bro.

00:38:51.060 You wouldn't want to be

00:38:52.740 anyway.

00:38:53.220 If you don't want to live

00:38:53.780 in obedience to God, you're

00:38:54.840 not going to like heaven.

00:38:57.820 Okay, so did we look at

00:39:00.740 1 Corinthians 6, 12 and

00:39:01.920 13?

00:39:02.540 Yeah.

00:39:02.920 Okay, let's look at 1

00:39:03.820 Timothy 4, 1 through 5.

00:39:07.920 And we're still on this

00:39:08.860 topic of food.

00:39:11.220 We're still on this topic

00:39:12.180 of food and rules.

00:39:13.440 Now the spirit speaketh

00:39:17.380 expressly that in the

00:39:18.940 latter time some shall

00:39:20.340 depart from the faith,

00:39:21.380 giving heed to seducing

00:39:22.440 spirits and doctrines of

00:39:23.680 devils, speaking lies and

00:39:26.320 hypocrisy, having their

00:39:27.800 conscience seared with the

00:39:28.920 hot iron.

00:39:29.500 Their conscience is

00:39:30.040 seared.

00:39:30.540 They don't know any right

00:39:31.500 and wrong anymore, man.

00:39:32.400 Their conscience has been

00:39:33.240 seared.

00:39:34.920 Forbidding to marry.

00:39:35.840 That's what they do.

00:39:36.620 They forbid people to

00:39:37.720 marry.

00:39:38.720 Hey, let's put a guy in a 0.75

00:39:40.200 leadership role in a

00:39:42.180 religious institution and

00:39:43.580 don't let them get

00:39:44.160 married.

00:39:44.940 What could go wrong?

00:39:48.020 And commanding to

00:39:49.020 abstain from meats, which

00:39:51.460 God hath created to be

00:39:52.620 received with thanksgiving

00:39:54.060 of them which believe and

00:39:56.860 know the truth.

00:39:57.640 So what is the deal with

00:39:58.680 meats?

00:39:59.000 They're clean.

00:40:00.200 They're clean.

00:40:01.260 These guys are saying, oh

00:40:02.280 no, you can't eat this

00:40:03.160 meat.

00:40:03.360 You can't eat that meat.

00:40:04.220 It's meat which God hath

00:40:05.600 created to be received with

00:40:07.200 thanksgiving.

00:40:07.980 You thank God for that meat.

00:40:09.680 You thank God for that food.

00:40:10.960 This is like praying for

00:40:11.920 your meal.

00:40:12.400 This is kind of a dying

00:40:13.280 thing today, but people

00:40:14.260 pray for your meal.

00:40:16.600 It doesn't matter what the

00:40:17.660 meat is.

00:40:18.380 Maybe that's why the food

00:40:19.380 causes so much problems in

00:40:21.320 the people's bodies today.

00:40:22.460 I don't know.

00:40:23.300 Maybe something does change

00:40:24.840 on a molecular level.

00:40:25.860 I don't know.

00:40:26.280 I don't know.

00:40:26.900 But maybe that's why there's

00:40:27.660 so much sickness with the

00:40:28.820 food because we're not

00:40:29.620 praying for it.

00:40:31.380 Which God has created to be

00:40:32.480 received with thanksgiving of

00:40:34.320 them which believe.

00:40:35.920 For it is sanctified by the

00:40:37.100 word of God in prayer.

00:40:37.980 That's what he's saying.

00:40:38.500 The food is sanctified by the

00:40:40.380 word of God in prayer.

00:40:42.320 Heavy.

00:40:42.960 This is heavy stuff.

00:40:44.540 But it's simply making the

00:40:45.480 point that none of this

00:40:46.640 stuff's off limits.

00:40:47.460 We're right back to this

00:40:48.200 thing, man.

00:40:48.680 All things are lawful.

00:40:50.040 People hate that passage.

00:40:51.540 People hate that passage

00:40:52.360 because if all things are

00:40:53.280 lawful, it really makes it

00:40:55.320 where you can't just be

00:40:56.240 arguing with everybody and

00:40:57.680 pointing out wrong and this

00:40:58.720 guy and that guy, right?

00:41:02.440 Because back to verse 4,

00:41:04.480 Who are thou that judges

00:41:05.840 another man's servant?

00:41:06.960 To his own master he stands

00:41:08.640 or falls.

00:41:09.240 Yea, he shall be holding up

00:41:10.260 for God is able to make him

00:41:11.480 stand.

00:41:12.300 So God's able to make his

00:41:13.580 servant stand.

00:41:14.440 Who are you picking this guy

00:41:15.660 apart for the way he's

00:41:16.660 living?

00:41:16.920 Now, if we're talking about

00:41:17.600 ripping down institutions,

00:41:19.680 man-made institutions that

00:41:21.180 claim to represent God, there

00:41:22.480 is a place for that.

00:41:24.000 Those who are part of the

00:41:24.920 body of Christ, don't judge

00:41:26.340 them.

00:41:26.860 They're not your servant.

00:41:28.120 They're God's servant.

00:41:29.720 Let him deal with that.

00:41:31.440 And you know what's the

00:41:32.080 funny thing about this topic

00:41:33.060 too?

00:41:33.420 Jesus is a carpenter. 0.98

00:41:35.080 Like, imagine going in his

00:41:36.180 carpenter shop and he's got

00:41:37.700 this table that he's been

00:41:38.640 working on.

00:41:40.080 And you're like, that table's

00:41:41.020 trash, man.

00:41:41.680 It only has two legs.

00:41:42.880 And look at the top.

00:41:43.840 It's not even sanded.

00:41:44.680 This looks like crap.

00:41:45.580 And then Jesus just looked at

00:41:46.660 you and said, bro, I'm not

00:41:47.480 finished.

00:41:49.640 I'm not even finished with it.

00:41:51.300 Like, I'm still working on it.

00:41:53.300 You see what I'm saying?

00:41:54.240 So just be easy judging his

00:41:56.160 work.

00:41:59.080 Okay, now we're going into

00:42:00.320 verses 5 and 6.

00:42:02.260 Watch this.

00:42:02.800 Because now we're going to

00:42:03.520 go on to the Sabbath day. 0.81

00:42:04.820 Super offensive.

00:42:06.480 And we're live at Planet

00:42:08.640 Here's Natalie Spooner firing

00:42:10.240 up the battle ropes.

00:42:33.900 Planet Fitness, the official

00:42:35.140 gym of Hockey Canada.

00:42:36.880 Verse 5.

00:42:37.700 One man esteems one day

00:42:39.160 above another.

00:42:40.020 Another esteems every day

00:42:41.580 alike.

00:42:42.480 Let every man be fully

00:42:44.040 persuaded in his own mind.

00:42:46.060 That's the rule here.

00:42:47.060 The rule is not

00:42:48.040 obey the Sabbath or don't

00:42:51.240 obey the Sabbath.

00:42:52.140 The rule is whichever you do,

00:42:54.460 be fully persuaded about it.

00:42:57.020 If you acknowledge the

00:42:57.880 Sabbath, be fully persuaded

00:43:00.180 that that's what you're

00:43:00.780 supposed to be doing.

00:43:01.600 If you don't acknowledge

00:43:02.460 the Sabbath, be fully

00:43:03.680 persuaded.

00:43:05.740 We're going to unpack that

00:43:07.000 as this passage goes on.

00:43:08.640 I know this is all really

00:43:09.480 offensive because a lot of

00:43:10.360 people don't understand the

00:43:11.420 Bible's not a rule book.

00:43:13.540 It's not a list of do's and

00:43:15.080 don'ts.

00:43:16.160 It's a book about relationship

00:43:18.260 in Christ, guiding you into

00:43:19.900 this relationship.

00:43:21.720 And I know it gets hairy.

00:43:23.060 I know it gets tricky.

00:43:23.800 And I know like talking

00:43:25.760 about it like this could

00:43:26.820 lead people into wrong

00:43:28.140 understanding and doing

00:43:29.820 crazy stuff.

00:43:30.480 I get it.

00:43:31.000 I get it.

00:43:31.660 But we want to be mature

00:43:32.520 believers and understand

00:43:33.480 the word of God.

00:43:34.600 He that regards the day

00:43:35.760 regards it unto the Lord.

00:43:37.060 So a guy says, man, I'm

00:43:37.920 honoring the Sabbath today

00:43:39.180 because I love the Lord.

00:43:41.960 And he that regards not the

00:43:43.420 day to the Lord, he does

00:43:45.220 not regard it.

00:43:46.000 Another guy says, no, man,

00:43:47.040 all seven days I love the

00:43:48.800 Lord.

00:43:49.200 I'm going hard after the

00:43:50.240 Lord.

00:43:50.460 There's no difference on any

00:43:51.660 of the days.

00:43:52.240 I love the Lord and I'm

00:43:53.880 going hard after him every

00:43:55.020 day.

00:43:55.620 Another guy says, there's

00:43:57.060 one specific day I'm going

00:43:58.220 to go extra hard for the

00:43:59.480 Lord because it's the

00:44:00.180 Sabbath day.

00:44:00.680 I love the Lord.

00:44:01.440 This is what I'm doing to

00:44:02.300 honor him on the Sabbath.

00:44:03.420 He says, yeah, yeah.

00:44:03.960 Either one's okay.

00:44:05.240 Either one's okay.

00:44:06.500 People don't like that, but

00:44:07.380 either one's okay.

00:44:11.200 He that eats, eats to the

00:44:13.200 Lord for he gives God

00:44:14.220 thanks.

00:44:14.700 And he that eats not to the

00:44:16.920 Lord, he eats not and gives

00:44:18.740 God thanks.

00:44:19.320 So he brings this whole thing

00:44:20.460 back around, man, whether

00:44:21.840 it's the way you eat and

00:44:22.860 drink or the way you go

00:44:24.100 about the Sabbath, there's

00:44:26.840 freedom in it.

00:44:27.920 There's freedom in it, man.

00:44:30.580 Let's look at Colossians 2

00:44:32.200 because Paul unpacks this a

00:44:35.800 little more in Colossians,

00:44:36.980 man.

00:44:41.320 Let no man therefore judge you

00:44:43.180 in meat or in drink or in

00:44:44.620 respect of any holiday or of

00:44:46.900 the new moon or of the

00:44:48.460 Sabbath days.

00:44:48.900 Okay.

00:44:49.200 So just, yeah.

00:44:50.320 So just, well, that was how

00:44:51.320 they celebrated.

00:44:52.200 I mean, the Jewish calendar,

00:44:53.400 like you, you know, from

00:44:54.440 Lisa's classes, cause you

00:44:55.500 love the Jewish classes that

00:44:56.780 she puts on and you learned

00:44:58.140 a lot in those classes and

00:44:59.220 you really appreciated the

00:45:00.120 fellowship with the Jewish

00:45:00.960 people in those classes.

00:45:02.120 They talk about how the

00:45:03.740 entire Jewish calendar is set 0.99

00:45:05.260 to the moon.

00:45:05.900 It's not set to the, to the

00:45:07.120 sun, but, but look at it.

00:45:09.420 He just says it point blank

00:45:10.580 right here.

00:45:11.540 Let no man therefore judge you

00:45:12.820 in meat or in drink or in

00:45:14.120 respect of a holiday or of

00:45:15.420 the, or of the new moon or of

00:45:17.160 the Sabbath days, let no man 1.00

00:45:18.640 judge you according to the

00:45:19.560 Sabbath.

00:45:21.300 Right.

00:45:21.840 So this is where this gets

00:45:23.120 tricky in the Calvinists are.

00:45:26.620 Yeah.

00:45:26.980 I see you have a Calvin book

00:45:28.740 there.

00:45:29.480 What's that about?

00:45:31.360 Well, sometimes the Calvinists

00:45:32.880 like, they love to fight with

00:45:34.240 me about this because they're

00:45:35.240 like, we're still under the

00:45:36.960 10 commandments.

00:45:39.680 And I don't know.

00:45:40.500 I've read a ton of Calvin and

00:45:41.680 I love Calvin, but literally

00:45:43.000 the first guy who asked me if I

00:45:44.120 was a Calvinist, I said, yeah.

00:45:45.520 Cause I didn't know what he

00:45:46.180 was talking about.

00:45:48.100 I just had read a lot of

00:45:49.260 Calvin and thought all this

00:45:50.180 stuff was fire, man, which

00:45:52.000 doesn't mean I agree with

00:45:52.800 everything he says, but I

00:45:53.600 thought they wrote like a

00:45:54.640 ton of cool stuff.

00:45:56.140 But usually when I talk to

00:45:57.320 Calvinists, there's a

00:45:58.160 disconnect, man, between like

00:45:59.300 what I've read from Calvin and

00:46:00.980 I don't know, like the way

00:46:02.140 they represent it, which I'm

00:46:03.040 not saying I'm right.

00:46:03.900 They're wrong.

00:46:04.520 I'm not saying that maybe

00:46:05.480 they've just read all this

00:46:06.540 stuff from Calvin that I

00:46:07.440 haven't read, but watch what

00:46:09.040 Calvin says on this topic, man.

00:46:11.240 He says, I have no doubt

00:46:13.920 that the apostle refers to

00:46:15.120 the, uh, the context here

00:46:16.600 is, um, it's actually a

00:46:18.740 commentary on, uh, Calvin's

00:46:21.480 commentary on Hebrews.

00:46:23.120 So we're in Hebrews, uh,

00:46:24.500 chapter four.

00:46:26.020 He says, I have no doubt

00:46:27.300 that the, so everybody, I

00:46:28.680 want everybody to understand

00:46:29.440 the context.

00:46:30.080 Like what?

00:46:30.620 No, you're taking Calvin out

00:46:31.600 of context.

00:46:32.180 It's a commentary on Hebrews 1.00

00:46:33.480 chapter four.

00:46:34.320 I have no doubt that the

00:46:35.640 apostle refers to the works

00:46:37.500 particular to the Sabbath in

00:46:38.840 order to recall the Jews from 1.00

00:46:40.060 the purely external observance

00:46:41.700 of it.

00:46:42.180 The annulment of it cannot be

00:46:43.680 understood except by the

00:46:44.700 recognition of its spiritual

00:46:46.060 purpose, right?

00:46:47.800 That's the context of the

00:46:48.900 Sabbath.

00:46:49.260 We've got to acknowledge it

00:46:50.020 according to its spiritual

00:46:50.940 purpose.

00:46:52.200 Man was not made for the

00:46:53.340 Sabbath.

00:46:53.840 That was, that was me talking.

00:46:56.420 He deals with two things at

00:46:58.000 the same time by commending

00:46:59.440 the excellence of grace.

00:47:00.620 He encourages us to accept

00:47:02.140 it by faith.

00:47:02.920 In meantime, incidentally

00:47:04.580 shows us what the true

00:47:05.760 pattern of the Sabbath is in 0.70

00:47:07.440 case the Jews and their

00:47:08.360 perverseness stick to the

00:47:10.240 external ceremonies.

00:47:12.580 He does not expressly speak

00:47:14.160 of its annulment because this

00:47:15.460 is not his specific subject,

00:47:16.940 but in teaching them to look

00:47:18.060 at its observance in another

00:47:19.500 way, he thus gradually weans

00:47:22.000 them away from their

00:47:22.800 superstitious view.

00:47:24.080 Whoever believes that the

00:47:25.620 purpose of the commandment is

00:47:26.980 something other than an

00:47:27.900 external rest or an earthly

00:47:29.880 worship soon and easily sees

00:47:32.260 by looking at it, by looking at

00:47:34.040 Christ, that the ceremonial usage

00:47:36.300 has been abolished by his

00:47:38.020 coming.

00:47:39.360 Calvin's very plain on that.

00:47:41.080 The shadows flee away at the

00:47:42.620 sight of the substance.

00:47:43.960 Therefore, our first concern

00:47:45.240 must always be to teach that

00:47:46.520 Christ is the end of the law.

00:47:50.860 So, like, I don't think Calvin

00:47:53.160 taught that we're still under

00:47:54.220 the law.

00:47:55.280 I know that people say, oh,

00:47:57.340 we're still under the Ten

00:47:58.220 Commandments.

00:47:58.940 The Sabbath is one of the Ten 0.99

00:48:00.420 Commandments.

00:48:01.740 Paul is very clear in this

00:48:03.260 Colossian letter.

00:48:03.960 We just read it.

00:48:04.760 Can we pull it back up again?

00:48:06.140 Let no man judge you according

00:48:07.920 to the Sabbath.

00:48:09.960 You see what I'm saying?

00:48:11.120 So, if you start to say, oh,

00:48:12.720 no, we're under some of the

00:48:14.140 law, you can't do that.

00:48:15.260 If you're under some of the

00:48:16.060 law, you're under all of the

00:48:17.140 law.

00:48:18.060 Very offensive.

00:48:18.900 Very offensive.

00:48:19.440 But I think the scripture is

00:48:20.380 playing on this.

00:48:23.200 I'm going to read it a little

00:48:24.480 bit further back.

00:48:27.100 Colossians 2.

00:48:27.780 I'm actually going to start in

00:48:28.620 8 through 17.

00:48:29.740 Beware lest any man spoil you

00:48:33.780 through philosophy and vain

00:48:35.100 deceit after the tradition of

00:48:36.860 men, traditions of men, or like

00:48:39.620 church culture, tradition, after

00:48:42.080 the rudiments of the world and not

00:48:43.700 after Christ.

00:48:44.920 Why?

00:48:45.720 Because you are complete in him.

00:48:48.380 You are complete in Christ, which

00:48:51.340 is the head of all principality and

00:48:52.840 power, in whom also you are

00:48:54.360 circumcised with the circumcision 0.68

00:48:55.880 made without hands, in putting off

00:48:57.880 the body of the sins of the flesh

00:48:59.200 by the circumcision of Christ,

00:49:01.180 buried with him in baptism,

00:49:02.500 wherein you are also risen with

00:49:04.020 him through the faith of the

00:49:05.100 operation of God, who has raised

00:49:06.680 him from the...

00:49:07.440 ...

00:49:07.880 ...

00:49:22.880 ...

00:49:23.880 ...

00:49:25.880 You also are risen with him

00:49:27.980 through the faith of the

00:49:29.320 operation of God, who has raised

00:49:30.800 him from the dead, and you, being

00:49:32.680 dead in your sins, in the 0.97

00:49:34.380 uncircumcision of your flesh, hath 0.99

00:49:35.920 he quickened together with him,

00:49:37.720 have him forgiven you all

00:49:38.940 trespasses, blotting out the

00:49:41.080 handwriting of ordinances that was

00:49:42.720 against us, which was contrary to

00:49:44.240 us, and took it out of the way,

00:49:46.000 nailing it to the cross, and having

00:49:47.900 spoiled principalities and powers, he

00:49:49.820 made a show of them openly, triumphing

00:49:52.280 over them in it.

00:49:53.220 Dude, Christ just did all of that, he

00:49:56.220 made a spectacle out of the wicked

00:49:58.120 principalities and powers ruling in

00:49:59.980 high places, he made a show out of

00:50:02.100 them, he pumped them, if you will,

00:50:05.100 right?

00:50:06.320 Based on that, based on the reality

00:50:08.440 that you are complete in him, and he

00:50:10.140 pumped the entire spirit realm, let no

00:50:12.620 man therefore judge you in meat or

00:50:14.300 drink, or in respect of a holiday, or

00:50:16.540 of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days,

00:50:18.860 which are a shadow of things to come, but

00:50:20.740 the body is of Christ, that lays it

00:50:23.160 down, dude.

00:50:23.740 As far as I'm concerned, that makes it

00:50:25.040 very plain.

00:50:25.880 You're complete in him, not in a group

00:50:28.060 of laws.

00:50:29.960 All right, let's look at Galatians 3,

00:50:32.120 because this is another heavy hitter

00:50:34.220 too, man.

00:50:34.780 This is another one that really kind of

00:50:37.340 makes this plain.

00:50:43.300 For as many as are of the works of the

00:50:45.680 law are under the curse.

00:50:47.020 What?

00:50:48.540 For it is written, cursed is everyone

00:50:51.060 that continueeth not in all things which

00:50:53.220 are written in the book of the law to do

00:50:54.840 them.

00:50:55.080 Okay, that's the passage that's saying

00:50:56.320 what I was saying.

00:50:56.900 Like, if you put yourself under the law,

00:50:58.880 under any of the law, you have to be

00:51:01.160 under all of the law.

00:51:02.320 That's what that's saying.

00:51:03.840 For as many as are of the works of the

00:51:05.900 law are under the curse.

00:51:08.020 For it is written, cursed is everyone

00:51:09.700 that continues not in all things which

00:51:11.980 are written in the book of the law to

00:51:13.240 do them.

00:51:14.300 So if you start picking and choosing,

00:51:16.200 like, which stuff, which is the

00:51:18.240 context of the entire Galatian letter,

00:51:20.900 it's a heavy topic, because the

00:51:22.420 Galatians, Paul doesn't say, I thank

00:51:23.960 God for you in the beginning.

00:51:25.500 Dude, when he's writing to the

00:51:26.360 Corinthians, they're like, San 1.00

00:51:28.200 Francisco is like what Corinth was at

00:51:29.960 that time.

00:51:30.460 He says, I thank God for you.

00:51:31.440 The Galatians, he doesn't say that.

00:51:32.920 Why?

00:51:33.180 Because they came out from Christ and

00:51:34.920 went back under the law.

00:51:36.720 And he was irate with, that's the

00:51:38.100 entire context of the book of

00:51:39.580 Galatians, is that they went back

00:51:41.300 under the law.

00:51:42.440 He says, bro, if you start picking

00:51:43.840 and choosing which ones of the law

00:51:45.380 you want to be under, you pick the

00:51:47.000 Sabbath day, you pick this and that,

00:51:49.300 you have to be under the whole

00:51:50.180 thing.

00:51:51.240 And of course, the thing that people

00:51:53.060 say, oh, so it's okay to murder,

00:51:54.920 because thou shall not murder is in

00:51:56.120 the law.

00:51:56.420 But imagine like you're married.

00:51:58.200 I heard this somewhere.

00:51:59.240 It's not my own original thought.

00:52:00.600 I heard this somewhere.

00:52:01.460 Imagine you're married.

00:52:02.520 They say, hey, Matt, do you take

00:52:04.540 Jessica for the wife? 0.52

00:52:05.460 Yeah, I do.

00:52:06.340 Jessica, you take Matt for, be your

00:52:08.220 husband?

00:52:08.440 Yeah, I do.

00:52:09.780 And then the guy goes, okay, now,

00:52:11.960 Matt, here's the rules now.

00:52:14.140 You can't murder her.

00:52:16.360 You're like, yeah, no kidding.

00:52:18.060 Like, what are you talking about?

00:52:18.640 Like, I don't need that law.

00:52:20.060 Like, do you see what I'm saying?

00:52:21.040 It's the same for us now.

00:52:22.180 We're led by the spirit of God.

00:52:23.760 We don't live under a set of rules.

00:52:26.120 We couldn't follow the rules anyway.

00:52:28.240 All we can do is submit our life to

00:52:30.520 God, a living sacrifice, and let him

00:52:32.540 live through us.

00:52:33.180 That's the only way we can do this.

00:52:36.620 But that no man is justified by the

00:52:38.400 law inside of God, it is evident.

00:52:40.840 For the just shall live by faith.

00:52:42.880 So no man has ever been justified by

00:52:44.880 the law.

00:52:46.280 Like, Jews that lived under the law 1.00

00:52:47.860 were not justified by the law.

00:52:50.060 And we're live at Planet Fitness.

00:52:52.140 Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the 0.90

00:52:54.080 battle ropes.

00:52:55.180 That's a hat trick of reps right there.

00:52:56.880 Now over to Emma Maltay with the 1.00

00:52:59.100 Hack Squad.

00:52:59.780 Talk about team carrying strength.

00:53:01.680 And here comes Emily Clark going for 0.95

00:53:03.440 a new PR.

00:53:04.640 She likes the lamp with that lift.

00:53:06.620 Wow, what a workout, folks.

00:53:08.600 Hard to believe you get all of that

00:53:09.740 with one membership.

00:53:11.240 Get started for $1 down, then $15 a

00:53:13.720 month.

00:53:14.100 Offer ends January 9th.

00:53:15.580 $49 annual fee applies.

00:53:17.400 Planet Fitness, the official gym of

00:53:19.160 Hockey Canada.

00:53:21.040 And the law is not of faith, but the

00:53:24.320 man that does them shall live in 1.00

00:53:25.700 them.

00:53:25.920 Christ has redeemed us from the curse

00:53:28.120 of the law being made a curse for us.

00:53:31.460 He didn't just take the penalty of

00:53:32.800 the curse.

00:53:33.180 He became the curse.

00:53:34.860 And that spiritual darkness that

00:53:36.740 sometimes we talk about, sometimes

00:53:38.000 people mock it, that spiritual

00:53:39.620 darkness came on Christ, dude.

00:53:42.740 He became a curse.

00:53:44.560 For it is written, cursed is everyone

00:53:46.100 that hangs on a tree.

00:53:47.940 That the blessing of Abraham might

00:53:49.800 come on the Gentiles through Jesus 1.00

00:53:51.640 Christ.

00:53:52.120 That we might receive the promise of

00:53:54.320 the Spirit through faith.

00:53:56.880 Brethren, I speak after the manner of

00:53:58.500 men, though it be but a man's 0.97

00:53:59.680 covenant.

00:54:00.500 Yet if it be confirmed, no man

00:54:02.540 disannulls or adds thereto.

00:54:04.640 Now to Abraham in his seed, singular,

00:54:07.800 were the promises made.

00:54:09.280 He saith not unto thy seeds, plural, as

00:54:12.940 of many, but as of one, unto thy seed,

00:54:15.840 which is Christ.

00:54:16.700 So it's talking about the seed of

00:54:17.800 Abraham, which is Christ.

00:54:21.140 In this I say that the covenant that

00:54:23.200 was confirmed before of God in

00:54:25.800 Christ, so there's a covenant made

00:54:27.700 with Abraham in Christ.

00:54:31.520 The covenant that was confirmed before

00:54:33.480 of God in Christ.

00:54:35.220 The law, which was 430 years later,

00:54:37.600 cannot disannull.

00:54:39.120 That it should make the promise of no

00:54:40.540 effect.

00:54:41.440 Right?

00:54:42.220 He's saying, we've talked about this

00:54:43.760 before, like the entire Old Testament

00:54:45.300 is not the Old Covenant.

00:54:47.900 It had a beginning.

00:54:49.660 There's all these dudes, everybody

00:54:51.540 before Moses that we read about was

00:54:54.120 tight with God and not under the law.

00:54:56.420 Not under the law.

00:54:57.220 This promise was made to Abraham 430 0.60

00:54:59.940 years before the law.

00:55:01.660 There's a promise made to him that the

00:55:03.500 law can't change it because the promise

00:55:05.420 was made to Abraham before the law ever

00:55:07.160 existed.

00:55:09.180 For if the inheritance be of the law,

00:55:11.920 it's no more of promise.

00:55:13.460 It's not received by faith.

00:55:14.680 If you have to do it by the law,

00:55:16.500 if you have to earn it by the law,

00:55:17.800 then it's not a faith.

00:55:19.620 But God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

00:55:23.260 Wherefore then serveth the law.

00:55:25.000 It was added.

00:55:26.800 It was added.

00:55:28.360 There was a beginning to the law.

00:55:30.440 It's very plain.

00:55:31.280 It was added because of transgressions

00:55:33.140 until, that means there's an end to the law.

00:55:37.080 It was added because of transgressions

00:55:39.020 to show us our transgressions.

00:55:40.680 Till the seed should come to whom the promise

00:55:43.920 was made.

00:55:45.340 That's Christ.

00:55:46.920 So it had a beginning and it had an end.

00:55:50.580 It was added because of transgressions

00:55:53.340 until the seed should come to whom the promise

00:55:55.640 was made.

00:55:56.500 And it was ordained by angels

00:55:58.100 in the hand of a mediator.

00:56:00.160 Verse 22 says,

00:56:06.400 But the scripture hath concluded

00:56:07.500 all under sin

00:56:08.420 that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ

00:56:10.380 might be given to them that believe.

00:56:18.220 That's pretty plain, man.

00:56:20.500 That's pretty plain.

00:56:21.300 There was a beginning to the law.

00:56:22.440 There was an end to the law.

00:56:24.320 So let's stop bickering over

00:56:25.900 what people are doing

00:56:28.260 in regards to the Sabbath,

00:56:29.660 what they're doing in regards to food,

00:56:31.040 what they're doing in regards to drinking.

00:56:34.700 It's tough.

00:56:35.500 And it's tough

00:56:36.220 because we want to be like,

00:56:37.320 no, no, no.

00:56:37.940 There has to be rules.

00:56:39.280 And I get it.

00:56:39.960 I get it.

00:56:40.620 I know I struggled with this for a long time.

00:56:42.300 I thought, no way.

00:56:43.300 If somebody's preaching this,

00:56:44.660 they're just saying,

00:56:45.320 you can live however you want.

00:56:46.520 No, no.

00:56:47.320 It's making it even like

00:56:48.400 you're giving your whole life to God.

00:56:50.680 Now everything comes under that.

00:56:52.380 Not externals anymore.

00:56:53.700 It's everything comes under the weight

00:56:55.120 of this relationship in God.

00:56:58.700 All right.

00:56:59.180 Let's go back to Romans 14.

00:57:01.180 We're in verse seven now.

00:57:04.500 For none of us lives to himself

00:57:06.180 and no man dies to himself.

00:57:08.140 For whether we live,

00:57:09.140 we live unto the Lord.

00:57:10.100 And whether we die,

00:57:11.020 we die unto the Lord.

00:57:11.980 Whether we live therefore or die,

00:57:13.720 we are the Lord's.

00:57:15.400 That's the context.

00:57:17.200 You don't live to yourself.

00:57:19.200 You don't die to yourself.

00:57:20.440 You belong to the Lord.

00:57:21.720 For to this end,

00:57:24.560 Christ both died and rose and revived.

00:57:27.660 That he might be Lord,

00:57:28.920 both of the dead and the living.

00:57:30.520 Whether we're here or there,

00:57:32.440 we're with the Lord.

00:57:33.200 But why do you judge your brother?

00:57:36.580 Or why do you set it not your brother?

00:57:38.940 We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

00:57:44.400 That's what Paul says.

00:57:45.300 We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

00:57:48.080 For it is written,

00:57:48.660 And as I live,

00:57:49.360 sayeth the Lord,

00:57:50.000 every knee shall bow to me

00:57:51.340 and every tongue shall confess to God.

00:57:53.360 So then every one of us

00:57:54.760 shall give account of himself to God.

00:57:58.120 Every single one of us

00:57:59.340 is going to have to give an account of ourself to God.

00:58:02.900 Let us not therefore,

00:58:05.660 Derek Prince used to say,

00:58:06.620 anytime you see a therefore,

00:58:07.520 you need to know what it's there for.

00:58:09.080 The therefore is the fact that

00:58:10.500 every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.

00:58:13.680 So then every one of us

00:58:16.240 shall give account of himself to God.

00:58:18.480 Therefore, because of that,

00:58:21.040 let us not judge one another anymore.

00:58:25.280 But judge this rather,

00:58:26.480 that no man put a stumbling block

00:58:27.820 or an occasion to fall on his brother's way.

00:58:31.900 In other words,

00:58:32.820 if you live in the reality

00:58:34.860 that you're going to give an account for your life

00:58:36.480 before God one day,

00:58:37.760 you're going to be pretty busy dealing with that.

00:58:40.420 You're not going to have time

00:58:41.480 to be pointing out the flaws in everybody else.

00:58:43.320 You're living in light of the reality

00:58:44.860 that I'm going to have to give an account for myself

00:58:47.020 before God.

00:58:48.400 I think I'd rather take it easy on those guys.

00:58:50.860 I think I'd rather take it easy on them.

00:58:53.060 Let's look at this judgment seat though

00:58:54.840 that Paul's talking about

00:58:55.640 because he says we will all appear, right?

00:58:58.460 And we're live at Planet Fitness.

00:59:31.380 it says this.

00:59:39.700 This is Paul speaking.

00:59:40.920 I have planted, Apollos watered,

00:59:42.860 but God gave the increase.

00:59:46.740 So we all do our work,

00:59:48.060 but God is the one who makes it grow.

00:59:50.600 So then neither is he that plants anything important,

00:59:52.920 neither is he that waters,

00:59:53.980 but God that gives the increase.

00:59:55.720 Now he that plants and he that waters are one.

00:59:58.900 We're one in purpose.

01:00:01.660 And every man shall receive his own reward

01:00:03.960 according to his own labor.

01:00:05.920 Do people know that?

01:00:08.380 You know, Jesus said,

01:00:09.920 don't lay up treasure on earth,

01:00:12.560 but do lay up treasure in heaven.

01:00:14.420 He told us to do that.

01:00:15.720 The Bible says a lot about reward.

01:00:17.600 What's this mention of Apollo?

01:00:19.180 Is it because he's speaking to the Corinthians?

01:00:21.540 Yeah.

01:00:22.100 Earlier on in the letter,

01:00:23.480 they're arguing,

01:00:25.520 actually just earlier in this chapter,

01:00:28.520 that some are saying,

01:00:29.420 I'm a follower of Peter.

01:00:30.940 Some are saying,

01:00:31.880 I'm a follower of Apollos.

01:00:33.400 Some are saying,

01:00:33.980 I'm a follower of Paul.

01:00:35.080 He's saying,

01:00:35.420 whoa, whoa, whoa,

01:00:35.760 is Christ divided?

01:00:37.680 Is Christ divided?

01:00:38.720 No.

01:00:39.240 Like we shouldn't be dividing like this.

01:00:41.140 So what do we do today?

01:00:42.020 We have churches that are branches of John Wesley.

01:00:45.040 We have churches that are branches of Martin Luther.

01:00:48.160 We have churches that are branches of Calvin.

01:00:50.180 We have church.

01:00:51.080 You see what I'm saying?

01:00:51.700 We're still doing this,

01:00:52.980 even though he says,

01:00:54.340 don't do that.

01:00:54.980 Don't do that.

01:00:56.200 So that's the context.

01:00:57.380 He's saying,

01:00:57.620 what are any of these guys?

01:00:58.660 What's Luther?

01:01:00.060 What's Luther, man?

01:01:00.940 What's Wesley?

01:01:01.740 What's Calvin?

01:01:02.780 They're just workers.

01:01:04.020 They're just workers.

01:01:04.940 It's about Christ.

01:01:07.140 Now he that plants and he that waters are one

01:01:08.780 and every man shall receive his own reward

01:01:10.900 according to his own labor

01:01:11.920 because we are laborers together with God.

01:01:14.780 This is crazy, bro.

01:01:16.260 That's one of the craziest things.

01:01:18.000 We're co-laborers with God.

01:01:20.840 We are laborers together with God.

01:01:23.400 You are God's husbandry.

01:01:24.640 You are God's building.

01:01:26.980 So the church is described sometimes as his husbandry,

01:01:29.640 sometimes as a building,

01:01:31.440 sometimes as a body, body parts.

01:01:35.700 According to the grace of God,

01:01:36.980 which is given unto me as a wise master builder,

01:01:39.220 I have laid the foundation and another builder and another builds thereon.

01:01:46.540 But let every man take heed how he builds thereon.

01:01:52.000 For another foundation can no man lay that is laid,

01:01:55.500 which is Jesus Christ.

01:01:56.620 That's the foundation.

01:01:57.400 Now if any man builds upon this foundation of Christ,

01:02:01.400 gold,

01:02:02.180 silver,

01:02:02.580 precious stones,

01:02:03.860 wood,

01:02:04.360 hay,

01:02:04.920 stubble,

01:02:05.740 every man's work shall be made manifest for the day shall declare it,

01:02:09.380 the day of the Lord,

01:02:10.160 the judgment day.

01:02:11.040 The day shall declare it because it shall be revealed by fire.

01:02:16.780 And the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

01:02:20.740 If any man's work abide, 0.83

01:02:23.200 which he has built thereupon,

01:02:24.600 he shall receive a reward.

01:02:26.660 This is separate from salvation.

01:02:28.340 You're saved by grace through faith,

01:02:30.140 not of works,

01:02:31.020 lest any man should boast.

01:02:32.280 This rewards and works is separate from salvation.

01:02:36.020 How do we know that?

01:02:37.300 Because it says in verse 15,

01:02:38.420 if any man's work shall be burned,

01:02:40.540 he shall suffer loss,

01:02:42.120 but he himself shall be saved,

01:02:44.720 yet so as by fire.

01:02:46.800 Right?

01:02:47.140 That's what we call the Bema seat. 1.00

01:02:48.820 That's not the great white throne.

01:02:51.180 Where the judgment is a condemnation and they're getting into the lake of

01:02:55.960 fire.

01:02:56.580 That's not what that is.

01:02:58.060 This is like a blessing ceremony.

01:03:00.500 This is where we receive reward or we don't receive reward.

01:03:03.740 If we have gold,

01:03:05.120 silver and precious stones,

01:03:06.600 meaningful things that aren't found in abundance.

01:03:08.920 And you have to dig underground to find,

01:03:11.080 you get a little messy getting it and nobody else sees it.

01:03:13.560 Cause it's found underground.

01:03:14.700 If you have that kind of stuff,

01:03:16.280 it'll remain,

01:03:17.240 you'll have reward.

01:03:18.200 But if you have the stuff that just piles up that everybody sees,

01:03:21.380 wood,

01:03:21.660 hay and stubble,

01:03:22.460 just these giant piles of things for everybody to see.

01:03:25.840 And you kind of get the glory.

01:03:27.280 Cause you have these giant piles.

01:03:28.680 Everybody love,

01:03:29.280 Oh man,

01:03:29.680 look at all that stuff.

01:03:30.640 When Michael comes in with the flamethrower,

01:03:32.520 like God say,

01:03:33.060 Michael,

01:03:33.420 come on with the flamethrower.

01:03:34.280 We've got to try everybody's work.

01:03:36.000 And then all that stuff just goes up in flames.

01:03:38.220 You have nothing,

01:03:38.980 but it looked really showy on the earth,

01:03:40.340 but thank God for you.

01:03:41.780 You're saved by grace through faith,

01:03:43.320 not of works,

01:03:44.060 lest any man should boast.

01:03:45.400 That's where 15 comes in.

01:03:46.580 If any man's work shall be burned,

01:03:48.260 he shall suffer loss,

01:03:50.200 his reward,

01:03:51.120 but he shall,

01:03:52.260 he shall be saved.

01:03:53.420 He himself shall be saved,

01:03:54.920 but as by fire.

01:03:56.120 That's what we're talking about.

01:04:01.920 There's going to be a day.

01:04:02.880 We're going to give an account of our life.

01:04:04.540 That's the context.

01:04:05.480 That's the setting.

01:04:06.480 If you keep that in mind,

01:04:07.860 it'll really keep you from judging others because you really want to,

01:04:11.600 you really want to be focused on the fact that dude,

01:04:14.860 there's going to be a day you're going to be gone,

01:04:16.780 man.

01:04:16.880 There's gonna be a day you're gonna be on your deathbed,

01:04:18.740 right?

01:04:19.100 Or like at some moment,

01:04:20.200 there's going to be that moment where you're dying.

01:04:24.580 Like you're,

01:04:24.900 you're exiting this realm.

01:04:26.120 To the eternal realm.

01:04:27.260 And you want to live with that in view,

01:04:29.700 man.

01:04:30.560 All of us are going to stand before a judgment seat and give an account for

01:04:33.400 our life.

01:04:34.680 Like we want to have that in view,

01:04:36.520 man.

01:04:37.160 Like,

01:04:37.440 I don't want to die and be like,

01:04:38.580 Oh dang,

01:04:39.460 there's so much other stuff I could have focused on,

01:04:42.400 or I should have did.

01:04:43.140 And I didn't do it.

01:04:44.500 I want to live life in light of the reality of the judgment seat.

01:04:49.020 Leonard Ravenhill used to say,

01:04:50.220 uh,

01:04:50.720 Lord stamp eternity on our eyeballs. 1.00

01:04:53.340 Right?

01:04:53.740 He was just saying like,

01:04:54.640 keep us eternally minded,

01:04:56.500 set your affections on things above,

01:04:58.220 not on things of the earth.

01:04:59.900 Like that's what he was saying.

01:05:00.920 Stop focusing on the natural realm.

01:05:02.840 And we're live at planet fitness.

01:05:05.560 Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes. 1.00

01:05:08.620 That's a hat trick of reps right there.

01:05:10.340 Now over to Emma Malte with the hack squad. 1.00

01:05:13.240 Talk about team carrying strength.

01:05:15.120 And here comes Emily Clark going for a new PR. 0.98

01:05:17.640 She likes the lamp with that lift.

01:05:20.140 Wow.

01:05:29.040 $49 annual fee applies planet fitness,

01:05:31.660 the official gym of hockey Canada.

01:05:34.740 All right.

01:05:35.280 Where did we end in Romans?

01:05:36.380 We ended at verse 13.

01:05:42.560 Yeah.

01:05:43.200 So now we're in verse 14.

01:05:44.820 I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus

01:05:47.000 that there is nothing unclean of itself.

01:05:50.820 There it is,

01:05:51.600 man.

01:05:52.100 Nothing unclean of itself.

01:05:53.380 I mean,

01:05:56.720 the context is probably Jewish kosher food laws,

01:06:02.080 but it's,

01:06:02.940 it still applies today,

01:06:04.080 man.

01:06:04.780 There's nothing unclean of itself.

01:06:06.780 Paul even gets into a place somewhere else where he's saying like,

01:06:09.560 yeah,

01:06:09.700 dude,

01:06:09.880 even stuff that's been like sacrificed to demons,

01:06:13.180 be careful eating that in front of somebody else.

01:06:16.080 Cause it may cause them to sin.

01:06:17.360 It may cause them to think that you're not a real Christian because you ate

01:06:20.040 that.

01:06:20.400 But like in the end,

01:06:21.300 we don't care,

01:06:21.940 dude.

01:06:22.100 Like all things belong to God.

01:06:24.860 I know I'm persuaded by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of

01:06:28.800 itself,

01:06:29.080 but to him that esteems anything to be unclean to him,

01:06:32.300 it is unclean.

01:06:34.120 Dude.

01:06:34.600 If you're not sure,

01:06:35.760 don't do it.

01:06:37.340 That's what this is teaching.

01:06:39.440 If,

01:06:39.940 if you do a thing that you're not sure if it's sin or not,

01:06:43.020 don't do it.

01:06:44.840 Don't do it.

01:06:45.820 He's going to unpack this.

01:06:47.180 But if your brother be grieved with your meat,

01:06:49.340 now walk us down,

01:06:51.820 not charitably destroy,

01:06:54.160 not him with your meat for whom Christ died.

01:06:56.600 Let not then your good be evil spoken of.

01:07:00.480 Right?

01:07:01.200 He's saying like,

01:07:02.380 if you're going to do a thing,

01:07:03.620 I think a better thing for us today is because the food isn't that big of an issue.

01:07:08.920 Would be like the alcohol.

01:07:10.920 Would be,

01:07:11.380 would be easier probably for all of us to understand.

01:07:13.700 It's okay to drink the alcohol,

01:07:15.100 but if you're going to do that in front of,

01:07:16.840 especially new believers and give them the wrong idea about it and destroy them or harm them in some way,

01:07:22.960 because they're going to go,

01:07:23.680 Oh no,

01:07:24.320 man,

01:07:24.600 that guy's not a real Christian.

01:07:26.040 Right?

01:07:26.480 Don't do it.

01:07:27.180 Don't do it.

01:07:27.800 Think of others first.

01:07:30.720 Let not then your good be evil spoken of.

01:07:35.380 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink,

01:07:38.100 but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy ghost.

01:07:41.020 The kingdom of God is not a set of rules.

01:07:46.740 The culture of the kingdom of God is not a set of external rules because all things are lawful.

01:07:52.040 What is it though?

01:07:53.060 It's a life being led by the Holy spirit.

01:07:56.540 The kingdom of God is not meat and drink.

01:07:59.300 It's righteousness though,

01:08:00.540 and peace and joy in the Holy ghost life in the Holy ghost brings righteousness,

01:08:04.180 peace,

01:08:04.400 and joy.

01:08:05.180 It's life in the Holy ghost for he that in these things serves.

01:08:09.740 Christ is acceptable to God and approved of men.

01:08:13.140 Let us therefore follow after or pursue the things which make for peace or harmony and things wherewith one may edify another,

01:08:21.140 make this the point of your life,

01:08:22.360 not you,

01:08:22.900 but others edifying others for meat destroys,

01:08:26.700 not the work of God.

01:08:27.780 All things indeed are pure.

01:08:31.600 All things are pure in Titus.

01:08:33.460 It says under the pure,

01:08:34.340 all things are pure.

01:08:36.160 This is what I'm saying,

01:08:37.080 man.

01:08:37.280 We want rules because we want to be able to check the boxes and go get back to our busy life.

01:08:41.600 We want to make sure,

01:08:42.120 okay,

01:08:42.240 I checked all those boxes.

01:08:43.820 I'm good.

01:08:44.540 I'm going to go to heaven.

01:08:45.520 Let me get back to my busy life.

01:08:47.160 God doesn't do it like that,

01:08:48.400 man.

01:08:48.880 He says,

01:08:49.180 no,

01:08:49.300 no,

01:08:49.400 you've got to give me all of your being and be led by my spirit.

01:08:55.320 But it is evil for that man who eats with offense.

01:08:57.900 It's evil for you.

01:08:58.940 If you think it's sin,

01:09:00.180 then it is.

01:09:00.840 It's good neither to eat flesh nor to drink wine.

01:09:03.920 So right here,

01:09:04.820 Paul puts food and wine on the same level,

01:09:09.000 puts them on the same level.

01:09:11.440 So whatever your view is on food,

01:09:14.400 he's saying,

01:09:14.960 yeah,

01:09:15.120 food and wine is on the same level.

01:09:17.760 It's good neither to eat flesh nor to drink wine,

01:09:19.600 nor anything whereby,

01:09:20.580 nor anything whereby your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.

01:09:29.860 Do you have faith?

01:09:30.580 Have it to yourself before God.

01:09:32.040 Do you know it's okay for you to do that?

01:09:34.200 Okay.

01:09:34.780 Keep that in your back pocket.

01:09:36.400 Happy is he that condemns not himself in that thing,

01:09:38.760 which he allows.

01:09:40.300 And he that doubts is damned or condemned.

01:09:42.800 If he eats because he eats not of faith,

01:09:45.540 because whatever is not of faith is sin.

01:09:49.040 Is this wild?

01:09:50.000 This is a wild passage.

01:09:51.380 I just think people need to know it,

01:09:52.720 man.

01:09:53.920 What?

01:09:57.380 Right on,

01:09:58.080 bro.

01:09:59.200 Scotty,

01:09:59.640 let's go.

01:10:00.960 Scott's getting baptized January 4th.

01:10:02.860 So shout out to him.

01:10:03.900 We don't,

01:10:04.180 we don't pull up many comments on this show,

01:10:05.780 but I thought that was a,

01:10:07.160 no,

01:10:07.400 I love that,

01:10:08.040 man.

01:10:08.760 It's one we should pull up.

01:10:10.740 This is this giant topic,

01:10:12.440 man.

01:10:12.740 Anything that is not of faith is sin.

01:10:15.040 Any motive we have outside of confidence and obedience in Christ is sin.

01:10:19.440 Like if we're doing a thing and we're like,

01:10:21.560 Oh,

01:10:22.040 I don't know.

01:10:22.900 I don't know if I should be doing this.

01:10:24.420 It's sin.

01:10:25.460 If,

01:10:25.900 if you're doing the same thing,

01:10:27.040 you're saying like,

01:10:27.500 no,

01:10:27.660 I'm alive in Christ.

01:10:28.700 I'm rolling with the Lord.

01:10:29.740 Let's go.

01:10:31.180 And it's not sin.

01:10:32.440 Like,

01:10:32.820 here's the thing I think about sometimes.

01:10:35.220 I know this is going to be offensive,

01:10:36.540 but this is the thing I think about.

01:10:38.160 Like say I'm on some Indian reservation and I'm preaching the gospel and they say,

01:10:43.200 Oh,

01:10:44.000 okay,

01:10:44.300 man,

01:10:44.560 you want to tell us about this guy,

01:10:45.880 Jesus.

01:10:46.420 You want to,

01:10:46.860 you want to preach the gospel.

01:10:47.740 Like you want to talk to us.

01:10:50.320 Nobody addresses the council here unless they hit the peace pipe.

01:10:55.480 What am I going to do in that situation?

01:10:57.400 Am I going to be like,

01:10:58.180 no,

01:10:58.500 well,

01:10:58.700 okay,

01:10:58.980 that's off limits for me,

01:11:00.260 man,

01:11:00.480 because we have all these rules.

01:11:03.600 That's like undercover cop stuff.

01:11:05.420 I guess.

01:11:05.940 I'm like,

01:11:06.520 what,

01:11:06.720 what,

01:11:07.060 what would I do in that scenario?

01:11:08.320 And I think,

01:11:09.180 I don't know,

01:11:09.960 but I think in that scenario,

01:11:12.140 I'd be like,

01:11:12.900 okay,

01:11:13.900 so if I hit the peace pipe,

01:11:15.060 you guys are all going to listen to me preach the gospel.

01:11:17.740 And they say,

01:11:18.680 yeah,

01:11:19.860 I say,

01:11:20.120 okay,

01:11:20.280 shake on it.

01:11:21.060 And we shake on it.

01:11:22.960 I think I'd be like,

01:11:23.780 all right,

01:11:23.980 give me the peace pipe.

01:11:27.100 Do you see how offensive that gets?

01:11:28.700 And how murky that gets?

01:11:30.240 It's just,

01:11:30.800 we have to live this life in Christ.

01:11:32.720 We have to be guided by his spirit.

01:11:35.080 Remember the Sabbath was made for man. 1.00

01:11:37.020 Man wasn't made for the Sabbath. 0.83

01:11:39.000 Like what's really my goal here.

01:11:41.260 Do you see what I'm saying?

01:11:42.220 So hitting the peace pipe,

01:11:43.280 because that's their role for me to address them and to,

01:11:46.260 and to preach the gospel to them.

01:11:47.980 That's clearly different than hitting the peace pipe.

01:11:50.400 When I'm just chilling in my house,

01:11:51.560 watching Netflix,

01:11:52.160 those are two different things,

01:11:53.460 but this is where you get into this thing of like,

01:11:56.040 do we just have a set of rules or do we have being guided?

01:11:58.680 By his spirit.

01:12:02.280 I know you're offended by that.

01:12:03.480 And I don't blame you.

01:12:04.380 I don't blame you.

01:12:05.200 I know.

01:12:05.480 I'm just thinking,

01:12:06.000 cause they're using that peace pipe to channel their,

01:12:09.060 their entities.

01:12:10.200 And I'm like,

01:12:10.480 I'm not doing that.

01:12:11.760 And then you're in the right for not doing it.

01:12:14.340 Amen.

01:12:15.680 Yeah.

01:12:16.220 You see what this is saying?

01:12:17.200 Do you see how wild this is?

01:12:18.480 Yeah.

01:12:18.980 And you see why people may not like this?

01:12:20.520 Because a lot of people want to say,

01:12:22.700 I'm not hitting it.

01:12:24.460 Cause it's wrong.

01:12:25.400 Which means if you do it,

01:12:26.500 it's wrong.

01:12:26.940 Mm-hmm.

01:12:28.300 No,

01:12:28.720 I would say,

01:12:29.680 I mean,

01:12:29.960 this is,

01:12:30.340 this is the warning that we give all the time on NDS.

01:12:33.400 When people are talking about psychedelics specifically,

01:12:35.560 I'm like,

01:12:36.480 I don't know you.

01:12:37.980 I don't know.

01:12:38.660 Like pretty much what he's saying.

01:12:39.700 I don't know where you're at.

01:12:40.960 If you think this is right,

01:12:42.920 go for it.

01:12:44.000 But no,

01:12:44.920 no,

01:12:45.180 I should be clear.

01:12:46.000 I'm not into any of that.

01:12:47.100 I don't think any of that's good.

01:12:48.320 I don't think any mind altering substances or spirit altering substances are okay in the Christian life.

01:12:55.580 We walk in the spirit so that we don't fulfill the lust of the flesh.

01:12:58.540 Yeah.

01:12:58.920 We don't,

01:12:59.580 we don't need these other things to get us in the spirit.

01:13:02.240 Like we already live there.

01:13:04.640 Right?

01:13:05.120 If we already live there,

01:13:05.860 we don't need these other things.

01:13:08.020 I'm simply making a really wild story that potentially could happen that I think this story says be led by Christ, man.

01:13:17.300 If you're just delving into the spirit realm through spirit enhancing substances, bad, bad for the Christian. 0.95

01:13:26.000 I think that I really think that I think that's going to be harmful to your life.

01:13:29.560 All things are lawful, but this is a thing that could really bring you down.

01:13:34.420 Okay.

01:13:34.900 The main point,

01:13:35.940 we shouldn't think that we're right about everything and people who see things different or wrong.

01:13:41.820 This is really a thing I talk about a lot.

01:13:43.840 I think it's come up between us recently too.

01:13:45.480 Like we just shouldn't look at like,

01:13:47.400 I'm right about everything.

01:13:49.160 I have to live a life in light of like,

01:13:51.780 I could be wrong.

01:13:53.680 I could be wrong.

01:13:54.680 No man has flawless doctrine.

01:13:56.380 No man has flawless theology.

01:13:58.400 No man is right about everything,

01:14:00.060 including me,

01:14:00.940 including me.

01:14:01.660 So although I may have these certain views in these certain positions,

01:14:04.880 and I hopefully only hold those positions because of scripture line upon line and precept upon precept,

01:14:10.920 even with that,

01:14:11.920 I could be wrong.

01:14:13.320 Right?

01:14:13.920 And so I have to have that position.

01:14:15.580 If I'm in communication with my brothers in Christ,

01:14:18.100 with the body of Christ,

01:14:19.160 I have to,

01:14:19.920 I have to come at that with a thought of like,

01:14:22.240 you know what?

01:14:22.680 I could be wrong.

01:14:23.860 I could be wrong.

01:14:24.760 So let me be very careful how hard I'm going at it cutting these other body members because I could be wrong.

01:14:30.820 Because I'm not right about everything.

01:14:32.020 I think Romans 15,

01:14:39.220 seven is kind of a good way to wrap this up.

01:14:42.240 This is a good way to wrap this up.

01:14:44.200 Romans 15,

01:14:44.900 seven says this.

01:14:47.480 Are you ready to wrap it up?

01:14:49.020 So I'm ready.

01:14:49.480 I mean,

01:14:49.660 it's Christmas Eve,

01:14:50.420 bro.

01:14:50.720 Yeah,

01:14:50.900 I don't have Romans 15,

01:14:52.020 seven.

01:14:52.340 Okay,

01:14:52.560 no,

01:14:52.720 I'll just read it.

01:14:53.560 Okay.

01:14:54.380 Romans 15,

01:14:55.060 seven says,

01:14:55.560 receive one another as Christ received us.

01:14:58.340 That's what it says,

01:14:59.140 man.

01:14:59.360 Here's the context.

01:15:00.200 You're going to be in the church.

01:15:01.160 You're going to be in the body of Christ.

01:15:02.740 You're going to have some disagreements with people in the body.

01:15:05.560 You're going to think I'm right.

01:15:06.740 You're wrong.

01:15:08.440 Receive those people as Christ received us.

01:15:14.000 Did Christ wait till you were perfect to receive you?

01:15:18.380 Receive your brothers in Christ the same way.

01:15:20.300 Amen.
