Jesus, the Risen King | Psalm 2

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240
He has risen.
He has risen indeed.

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,960
That's right, man, I, you know,
you have some half baked ideas.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Got got a couple different
topics for for this, this

4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:15,080
banter, But one of those I was
thinking, I don't know how this

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,760
could be fully baked.
You tell me, But I was thinking

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,360
like, you know, I start making
slides for the song service and

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,400
then I'm like, oh, we got to
change out and I remembered

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,680
like, oh, I need to put all
those he risen he has risen in

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,240
there.
So, you know, like in our pre

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,240
service loop where it's just all
those different slides.

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,160
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So here's the half baked idea is

12
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:40,600
to allow people, you know, give
them like a power if it's

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,560
PowerPoint, you know, the wide
PowerPoint slide, like you make

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,120
your own he has risen and then
send it in to us next year and

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,080
we'll put it up there so you can
see your he has risen.

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,200
Oh, I like.
That you like put in your own.

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,520
I like that, yeah.
So you can design your own

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,360
little slide to go up there, so.
That's good, especially for, you

19
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,400
know, those.
We got a lot of graphic design

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,560
people in the church, I feel
like.

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,520
So we get some good ones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,840
But, you know, so this is our
Easter, That's right, service

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,800
recording.
And so a few days back we had

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:17,280
Good Friday and you know, while
you're going, you know, it's a

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,680
very serious topic, but
sometimes you, you know, your

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,960
mind you, you think about some
stuff.

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,960
And so I'm leading this song.
So we do lots of songs.

28
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:28,920
So, so for us, we do some songs,
we do some scripture reading,

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,520
songs, scripture reading, songs,
scripture reading.

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,640
And so I'm leading these songs.
And it's this song, Hallelujah,

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,320
what a savior.
And I'm singing it and that.

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,240
And I thought of you.
Oh boy, yeah.

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,120
Because here, here is the line,
it says, bearing shame and

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,400
scoffing rude.
In my place he's condemned.

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,040
He stood.
No, not yeah.

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,440
Sealed my pardon with his blood.
It's like 3 different oh.

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,800
Yes, close, Ryan.
It's like, might as well not

38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,560
make them close.
It's like, it's like just close

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,200
enough to make them stand out.
Yeah, because the pre all the

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,360
other ones like exactly Ryan,
like Manos Charles.

41
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,880
What a name for the Son of God
who came ruin sinners to reclaim

42
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,720
guilty, violent, helpless weeds,
spotless Lamb of God.

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,720
Was he full atonement?
Can it be, you know, so just

44
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,640
die, cry high.
But you know, it was rude.

45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,440
No, not good enough.
I'll.

46
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:23,240
Tell you what, Good Friday
service also traumatizing for my

47
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,720
3 year old.
I heard this.

48
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:29,240
I, I, I was like, I was like, I
think that is a hail child.

49
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,680
I could tell by by the sound, by
the the quality of the voice.

50
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,800
Basically, my kids are never in
the service for communion

51
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,920
because they're in like
children's church or nursery or

52
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:42,800
whatever.
Josh, he's in there.

53
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,400
He's been doing great and I
guess I I get his perspective.

54
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:49,080
You see a plate of crackers
coming by.

55
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,600
You say it's it's time for a
fistful like and Elena like

56
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,400
boom, like we stopped might have
been Jordan.

57
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,640
I don't know.
Jordan or Josie were going for

58
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:00,040
it and we like stopped them.
He's like, Oh no, And he he

59
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,560
probably was embarrassed slash
upset.

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,240
He he was crying.
We had to take take him out and

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,840
I made the mistake of bringing
him back in right when the juice

62
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:09,840
would pass, but we were going
to.

63
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,360
I got to talk to him now.
But Wayne was like, why'd you

64
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,040
bring him back in?
The juice was coming next.

65
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,520
Like you got to know better than
that.

66
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,800
But I'm like, man, if you're a
kid and like crackers are part

67
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,800
of your snack time and then it's
just like coming to you on a

68
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,600
plate like church is awesome.
He's like this is.

69
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,360
Great.
I remember, I don't know who it

70
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,160
was.
Chloe, Lydia, someone was

71
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,880
wanting communion and I was
like, yeah, you're not ready for

72
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,400
communion.
Like if you want some crackers

73
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,880
and grape juice I'll go to some.
Crackers and grape juice.

74
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,640
Right, so I mean I'll.
Even get a good juice box, like

75
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,200
bigger than that one sip, yeah.
But I was like, you know, that

76
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,640
that particular thing that we're
doing is has a lot of meaning

77
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,080
behind it.
You get older, you'll understand

78
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,840
it and and you won't feel left
out anymore.

79
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,280
But yeah.
Also, I was a fellow church

80
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,040
member came up to me.
Maybe he came up to you.

81
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,120
I think he did come up to you
and he was like, you need to

82
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,200
look up this guy rapping Doctor
Seuss.

83
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,840
He did.
Come up to me.

84
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,640
He sent me one of those some
raps via signal, so yeah.

85
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,720
But you signal you're very
secure.

86
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,960
You don't want any of that
Doctor Seuss wrap getting out.

87
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,960
No one's going to.
Know I don't know why all of his

88
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,200
private texts are via signal to
me yeah so that's good can't.

89
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,480
Be too safe.
So a lot a lot of Good Friday, a

90
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:20,120
lot of Easter talk and for good
reason.

91
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800
This this sermon title great.
I great sermon.

92
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,480
I thought it was good.
I feel like I feel like any

93
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,560
Easter sermon's going to be
good.

94
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,160
I feel like, you know, or like
you know, First Corinthians 15

95
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,840
or you know what I mean?
That is one of my favorite.

96
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:38,720
So my, my favorite sermon that
Joel preached on Easter was when

97
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:45,120
he did First Corinthians 15 and
he read this story about this

98
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,200
dad and two sons.
I don't know.

99
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,120
I've told it on this podcast
again, but you have to hear the

100
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,480
second time, third, maybe third
time where one of the sons get

101
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,920
stung by bee.
Oh, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

102
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,160
Yeah, yeah.
And then the other son was

103
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,280
crying and scared 'cause that
bee was still kind of, you know,

104
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:04,600
buzzing around them.
And the dad was like, it's

105
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,920
buzzing around you, but he took
the Stinger for you.

106
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,680
Like the stinger's there.
Like it can't sting anymore.

107
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,160
Like it can harass you, but the
stinger's on.

108
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,200
And he related that to, you
know, you know, death.

109
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,480
Where is your sting?
You know, where's your victory?

110
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,200
I like.
I like that a lot.

111
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,000
This sermon was out of Psalm 2,
which is I, I thought it was

112
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,760
great.
It was like not a change up, but

113
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,200
it's like it's not what you
would expect necessarily.

114
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,680
No, Yeah, but it was but it.
Fit like perfectly, right?

115
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,640
So we will go ahead and look at
Psalm 2.

116
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:45,880
So let's take it to the next
level from the hearts of the Low

117
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,280
Country in South Carolina.
It's the Take Two podcast, but

118
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:53,400
we take theology to the next
level.

119
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:58,880
Big Queen Elizabeth the Second.
Family, I just keep up with it.

120
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,040
Like the royal family is one of
those things that I I literally

121
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,800
don't think I could care less
about because I care so little.

122
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,680
But when I saw that video, I was
like, oh, actually, this is

123
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,400
actually kind of cool.
I didn't realize it was mostly

124
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,000
Bible talk.
I thought it was like people

125
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,920
like that for like other stuff.
I was like, this is great.

126
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,280
I was like, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, I, I had a lot of respect

127
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:22,520
for Queen Elizabeth the second.
I don't have so much respect for

128
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,200
King Charles, whatever he is the
whatever.

129
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,240
I don't know him a lot, but just
looking at him sitting there, I

130
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:29,560
knew enough.
That's all I needed to know.

131
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,640
So I actually went back and
watched Queen Elizabeth's

132
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,200
coronation and stuff.
And if you look at her life, you

133
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:41,800
know, her uncle abdicated the
throne and, and, and so her

134
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,360
father became king and wasn't
really expecting it.

135
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,360
And maybe that's what made it so
good because, you know, you kind

136
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,920
of grow up.
With this pressure.

137
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,920
And you, but if you don't grow
up with it and then you all of a

138
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,440
sudden it gets, you know, thrust
on you and you're like, OK, I

139
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,600
got to be king.
And then, you know, he only had

140
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,680
two daughters, Elizabeth and
Anne.

141
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,960
Maybe some, some, some
Anglophile will correct me if

142
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,760
it's not Anne.
There's an Anne in there.

143
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,640
But it, I don't know if it's her
sister or her mother, but yeah.

144
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,120
And I'm pretty convinced by what
you read that she was a genuine

145
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,720
believer.
Yeah, but I don't know.

146
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,120
But there is a lot of stuff that
goes around it because, you

147
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,080
know, the, there is this theory
of the divine right of kings.

148
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,920
You know, you look heavily at
Romans 13 and you might say, you

149
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,920
know, God put this person in
place, and we're going to pray

150
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,520
that God rules through this king
and that God's Kingdom is

151
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,920
expanded through this king and
all that kind of stuff.

152
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,520
Yeah.
And so you see a lot of that

153
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,720
memorialized in these coronation
days.

154
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,360
Yeah.
That that was pretty cool, the

155
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,320
little clip he played and yeah,
I, I can't remember exactly.

156
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,400
I was like, here's a scepter and
then what was it?

157
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,760
Another scepter?
On the other hand, we were just

158
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,960
handing out scepter.
What was the other thing?

159
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,880
It's a.
Scepter and a ball and a ball.

160
00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,960
OK.
I missed.

161
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:01,640
The ball I thought it I.
Could I think so?

162
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:02,280
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

163
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,400
Yeah, yeah.
I was like, he's holding a

164
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,880
couple things.
He just probably.

165
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:10,120
Has a more refined name other
than the ball, but yeah I know.

166
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,920
It's a big moment.
There's a lot going on.

167
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,400
He was just just, he was just
sitting there like, you know,

168
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,960
yeah.
He's not the most inspiring guy.

169
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,120
It was great fun.
Yeah, I'm ready.

170
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,520
I'm ready for his.
I think his son, his oldest son

171
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,120
will do do great when it
whenever it's his time.

172
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,040
Nice.
Because the king, you know, does

173
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,600
a lot for England, makes a lot
of the decision.

174
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,880
So it's good.
It's a really big deal.

175
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,440
It's great.
Well, I think they do have some

176
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,480
more powers.
Oh nice.

177
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,520
What I don't understand, what
they, I don't understand, what

178
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,880
they do they like, I don't know,
balance out Parliament's, not

179
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,200
really.
Yeah, so.

180
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,200
Not that.
We have let me give you a broad

181
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,720
skip.
So at some point in time in the

182
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,840
past, you know, they set up
parliament and they divested the

183
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,440
monarchy of a lot of the
day-to-day powers.

184
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,240
And so you have your House of
the Lords and you have your

185
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,600
House of the Commons.
So the Lords is like this.

186
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,480
What's the word?
Lineage is a better word.

187
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,960
But but basically like if you
are the Lord of that land and of

188
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,720
you know of that Fife fiefdom or
whatever, then you have that

189
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,320
title and you can be in the
House of Lords.

190
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,880
And feel free to correct me if I
get get this wrong.

191
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,400
And then you have the House of
Commons and those are elected.

192
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,480
And then you have your Prime
Minister and he is typically

193
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,280
from what I understand, elected
out of the House of Commons.

194
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,080
There.
I think there have been a couple

195
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,040
of the peerage who have been
elected maybe in World War Two.

196
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,040
There was one, I think that it
was uncommon because it he

197
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,240
didn't come from the House of
Commons, but.

198
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,600
Man.
So those are the people that

199
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:52,600
pass laws and stuff and, and
apparently today they're passing

200
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,960
a lot of laws about, you know,
getting arrested if you pray

201
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,400
quietly and in public and stuff
like that.

202
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,200
So man, we should pray for our
brothers and sisters in in the

203
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,840
UK.
Man, Well, the analogy here,

204
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,600
yeah, we, we.
We got to get back on.

205
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,400
Track because Psalm 2 it's it's
a royal Psalm written by David,

206
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,040
not only royal Psalm, but a
messianic song that that's

207
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,440
moving towards a a future a
future event, a future person

208
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,600
where that's where pastor's
gonna put a lot of the emphasis.

209
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:25,720
We've got this quote to start
off by chapter Bullock from

210
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,120
encountering the book of Psalms.
He writes that the royal psalms

211
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,360
focus on the historical king of
Israel and his Kingdom.

212
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,280
Yes, cling to the historical
institutions and nurtured by the

213
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,080
frustrations and failed
expectations, they laid out the

214
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,440
claim for a greater person, an
institution that would rise

215
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,360
above the human disappointments
and realize the hopes that mere

216
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,920
history unaided by the Divine
King could not deliver this

217
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,160
future vision while it lay in
the arms.

218
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,080
The historical circumstances
only came into its own reality

219
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,200
as the Jewish synagogue and
Christian Church reflected on

220
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,200
these psalms and run out of them
in a hope of a Kingdom whose

221
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,720
king would accomplish all and
more that Israel's king had done

222
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,360
or ever could.
You know, Yeah, You read like

223
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,920
the Book of Kings and it's just
like it just like failure after

224
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,240
failure.
And it just kind of you end and

225
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,440
you're just like wanting more
like looking forward to to

226
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,560
someone hopefully who can, who
can make it happen.

227
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,120
Yeah, I know you're not a big
musical fan, but the musical

228
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,200
Camelot has this this song that
basically is looking back at

229
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,440
what Camelot could have been
had, you know, Lancelot, not,

230
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,560
you know, gone and betrayed King
Arthur.

231
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:37,440
But you know, it talks about
this once fallen, you know this,

232
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,040
you know, once city and and it's
and and you get that theme

233
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,320
repeated over and over again.
It's almost like, man, we can't,

234
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,920
we can't get it right.
Man, yeah, it's just, it's, it's

235
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,840
really like the end and the, and
this Psalm is just laid out so

236
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,320
well because it, it kind of hits
all those beats and kind of hits

237
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,520
everything that that we see
repeated over and over.

238
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,200
So let's get into it.
Let's, let's kick it off reading

239
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,640
the first 3 verses of Psalm 2.
Yeah.

240
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,680
It says, Why are the nations in
an uproar, and the people's

241
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:11,520
devising A vain thing?
The kings of the earth take

242
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,160
their stand, and the rulers take
counsel together against the

243
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,960
Lord and against his anointed,
saying, Let us tear their

244
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,160
fetters apart and castaway their
cords from us so.

245
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,480
You kind of see out of the gate,
the rebellion of man.

246
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,920
That's kind of the section how
pastor is going to going to

247
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,480
title it.
And he makes this parallel to

248
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,120
this poem that most people think
are familiar at least with maybe

249
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,360
the the main, the last line that
you'll you'll read Invictus by

250
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,480
William Henley really talking
about, you know, where do you

251
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,720
look for ultimate hope or who
who's, who's the ultimate

252
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,360
decider?
You know, you read why do the

253
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,200
nation's rage or why are they in
the uproar?

254
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,000
Why are they rebelling?
Well, this poem kind of captures

255
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,760
that spirit.
William Henley writes that out

256
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,400
of the night that covered me
black as the pit from pole to

257
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,160
pole.
I think, whatever gods may be

258
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,480
for my unconquerable soul, and
to fill clutch of circumstance,

259
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,480
I have not whence, nor cried
aloud under the bludgeonings of

260
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,360
chance.
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

261
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:12,520
Beyond this place of wrath and
tears looms but the horror of

262
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,640
the shade.
And yet the menace of the years

263
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,440
finds and shall find me
unafraid.

264
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:19,680
It matters not how straight the
gate, how charged with

265
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:22,480
punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate.

266
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,720
I am the captain of my soul.
So you kind of see this

267
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,160
unapologetic, like irreverence.
Yeah.

268
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,880
Shaking.
His fists in God's face just.

269
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,320
Saying, you know, it's all, it's
all on me.

270
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,800
I'm the one, you know, who's
going to, who's not going to bow

271
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,360
my head.
I'm not going to humble myself.

272
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,560
It's pretty, pretty in your face
and kind of capture this

273
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:44,120
question that David's asking.
Why are the nations, like, doing

274
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,240
their own thing here?
Yeah.

275
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,240
It matters not how straight the
gate like.

276
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,160
That's like that's, that's a
shot.

277
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,760
Or or how charged the punishment
of the scroll.

278
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,920
Like, it's like he's taking the
shots.

279
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:59,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is John Bloom's analysis of

280
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:05,240
the poem that Zach just read.
He says it is a delusional fancy

281
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,960
fantasy.
Henley wrote Invictus when he

282
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,720
was 27 years old, having battled
tuberculosis of the bone for

283
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,920
years, to which he had lost a
leg and which he eventually

284
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,600
killed him at the age 53.
He was an avowed atheist, so the

285
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,880
only place he could look for
strength was himself.

286
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,120
He didn't believe that there was
any larger purpose to his pain.

287
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,600
It was just the bludgeonings of
chance.

288
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,840
His only hope was to take his
bludgeonings like a man, which

289
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,600
to him meant a stoic resolve
never to surrender.

290
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,840
So Henley wrote Invictus A
poetic as a poetic to the

291
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,720
cosmos.
And if God did exist, see the

292
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,600
last stanza to him too.
Oh as a oh, edit it out as a

293
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,760
poetic middle finger to the.
Cosmos.

294
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:56,520
And if God did exist to him too,
funny thing when I copied this

295
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,920
in.
So I took a picture of it on the

296
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,240
thing and copied it in and it
must have what happened here.

297
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,520
I mean, I know what happened
because as I copied it and I hit

298
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,160
something to format it and you
know how sometimes it will

299
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,880
suggest an emoji?
What put the middle finger emoji

300
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,240
in there?
And then I was like, no, I don't

301
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,400
want that.
But it must have gotten the

302
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,280
words out too.
So that.

303
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,720
That that's great.
We we've kind of covered it, but

304
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,520
this whole attitude that you see
in mankind, whether it's this

305
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,520
over or not, it's kind of there
like I'm going to do my own

306
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,400
thing.
I'm not people that reject

307
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,360
scripture usually saying hey, my
way is better whether they say I

308
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,240
hate God explicitly or they just
kind of live live that way.

309
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,000
Pastor talks about, you know,
Psalm 2.

310
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,480
It's it's quoted in the New
Testament.

311
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,840
We see it in the book of Hebrews
a couple of times.

312
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,480
We see it also in the book of
Acts.

313
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,240
I think this may be where
Michael is turning.

314
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,880
No, you're not.
I've got Acts of.

315
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,040
Whatever you're turning, yeah.
So I will read Acts 423 through

316
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,720
28.
I love it when the New Testament

317
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,560
quotes the Old Testament because
it brings so much light.

318
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,000
And it's like, I probably
wouldn't have interpreted that

319
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,640
way necessarily in this case.
It makes a lot of sense.

320
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,600
A lot.
It always makes sense.

321
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,560
And it's something, you know,
the apostles, that kind of

322
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,320
thing.
But I love seeing, like, where

323
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,880
they're thinking it goes, Luke
writes.

324
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,080
When they had been released,
this is coming right after, you

325
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,360
know, they've been Peter and
John.

326
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,320
They've been witnessing, They've
been let out of prison.

327
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,600
They're praying for some
boldness.

328
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,720
When they had been released,
they went to their own

329
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,400
companions and reported all that
the chief priest and the elders

330
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,560
had said to them.
And when they heard this, they

331
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,440
lifted their voices to God with
one accord, and said, O Lord, it

332
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,960
is you who made the heaven and
the earth and the sea, and all

333
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,240
that is in them.
Who by the Holy Spirit, through

334
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,280
the mouth of our Father David,
your servant said, quoting Psalm

335
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,200
2.
Why did the Gentiles rage and

336
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,080
the people's devised feudal
things?

337
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,400
The kings of the earth took
their stand, and the rulers were

338
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,040
gathered together against the
Lord and against his Christ.

339
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,560
For truly in the city they were
gathered together against your

340
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,760
holy servant Jesus, whom you
anointed both Herod and Pontius

341
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,120
Pilate, along with the Gentiles
and the peoples of Israel, to do

342
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,520
whatever your hand and your
purpose predestined to occur.

343
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,160
And so I like this prayer where
they're appealing to the

344
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,319
sovereignty of God and then
bringing this in like, hey,

345
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,680
kings are going to do what they
want, but man, you are in

346
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,520
control.
Yeah, and while he was reading

347
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,720
this, I was thinking we probably
couldn't recreate a scene like

348
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,160
this today 'cause we don't have
Scripture memorized like they

349
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,359
did for us all to just stand in
one accord and like, hey, let's

350
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,680
start recite Psalm 2.
And of course, I guess the

351
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,480
Septuagint was their only
translation that they were

352
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,720
using.
But but we also had even even.

353
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,760
Let's say everyone had Psalm 2.
Memorize it, you know?

354
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,000
There'd be the the hiccups back
and forth of us trying to all

355
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,040
right.
So he continues on talking about

356
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,840
how God's response, OK, man's
going to rebel.

357
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,440
What's God's response?
Is he fearful?

358
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,480
Is he cowering?
Does he get mad?

359
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:55,680
No, he laughs and it says he who
sits in the heavens laughs.

360
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,360
The Lord scoffs at them.
Then he will speak to them in

361
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:04,400
his anger and terrify them in
his fury, saying, but As for me,

362
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:10,000
I have installed my king upon
Zion, my holy mountain.

363
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:14,720
I'll just add in my proverbs
reading today.

364
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,360
It said the wrath of the
righteous king is like the roar

365
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,560
of a lion, but his favor is like
the dew in the morning.

366
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,760
And it's like you, you see this,
like you see God's wrath being

367
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,400
revealed.
It's like the roar of a lion.

368
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,640
But you know, if you're on this
good side, it's, it's, it's all

369
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,560
good.
Really good stuff.

370
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,760
Yeah.
I like the the imagery the

371
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,200
psalmist David writes with
where, you know, it's like the

372
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,480
nations are raging, they're in
an uproar.

373
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,520
And God, I love that he says,
laughs.

374
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,400
You know, that that that's so,
so good.

375
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,880
John Phillips comments and and
says as though man who has

376
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,080
successfully orbited some
hardware and space using

377
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,240
material God has applied and who
has put a feeble footprint on

378
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,960
the moon.
As though man can compete with a

379
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:02,560
God who has orbited 100 million
galaxies.

380
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,440
As though man who has solved
some of the subtleties of the

381
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,080
atom and managed to scare
himself half to death in the

382
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,360
process, can compete with a God
who Stokes the nuclear fires of

383
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:15,800
a billion stars.
No wonder he that sits in the

384
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,680
heavens laughs.
Man for all his technology and

385
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,680
talents, for all of the science
and skill, for all his

386
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,320
inventions, still man, mere
mortal man.

387
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,840
And God is God, eternal,
uncreated self, existent,

388
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,920
omnipotent, omniscient,
omnipresent, infinite,

389
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,600
infallible, holy high.
And looked it up, worshipped by

390
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,280
countless Angel throngs.
Like the way you put it, that

391
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,960
puts it in perspective where,
yeah, that's going to be the the

392
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,480
reaction is, is laughter because
it is, it is silly.

393
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,160
It's like, you know, it's like,
you know, Joshie or Jordan's

394
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,040
getting really mad at me.
It's like, OK, like we can, we,

395
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,800
there's nothing you can do.
And it's even more of a chasm,

396
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,960
you know?
Yeah, all right.

397
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,200
So God laughs and then he makes
this decree, verses 7 through 9.

398
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,320
I will surely tell the decree.
The Lord, He said to me, You are

399
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,680
my Son today I have begotten
you.

400
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,120
Ask me, and I will surely give
the nations as your inheritance,

401
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:13,680
and the very ends of the earth
as your possession.

402
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,040
You shall break them with a rod
of iron.

403
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,440
You shall shatter them like
earthenware and.

404
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,800
This is where I meant to say
this is what's quoted twice in

405
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,440
Hebrews, once in Acts.
So setting the record straight,

406
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,040
we we read in Acts 13 and we
preach to you the good news of

407
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,680
the promise made to the fathers,
that God has fulfilled this

408
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,880
promise to our children and that
he raised up Jesus as it is also

409
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,480
written in the second Psalm.
You are my Son.

410
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,160
Today I have begotten you.
Well, that's good.

411
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,840
And then also in Revelation 19
through 15, and I saw heaven

412
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,160
opened and behold, a White
Horse.

413
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,480
And he who said on it is called
faithful and true, and in

414
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,160
righteousness he judges and
wages war.

415
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,200
His eyes are a flame of fire,
and on his head are many

416
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,840
diadems.
And He has a name written on him

417
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,200
which no one knows except
himself.

418
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,360
He is clothed with a robe dipped
in blood, and his name is called

419
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:16,920
the Word of God.
And the armies which are in

420
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,600
heaven, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean, were following

421
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,280
him on white horses.
From his mouth comes a sharp

422
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,400
sword, so that with it he may
strike down the nation's.

423
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,400
And He, he will rule them with a
rod of iron, and he treads the

424
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,840
wine Press of the fierce wrath
of God the Almighty.

425
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,000
I love that passage.
I'm glad pastor like connected,

426
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,440
connected, all of that because
you know, that this just stands

427
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,680
really in the face of everyone
who's like, Jesus was like this

428
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,320
hippie guy or you know what I
mean?

429
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,160
It's like, that is a much
different picture.

430
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,840
Yeah, right.
You're like, man, read

431
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,760
Revelation 19 because that's
that's a pretty stark, bold,

432
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,400
bold picture of not, not this
hippie guy.

433
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,040
So we covered the rebellion of
men, the laughter of God, the

434
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,560
decree of God.
And then we come to the warning

435
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,720
to the people.
In verses 10 through 12 it reads

436
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,960
Now therefore, O kings, show
discernment.

437
00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:18,560
Take warning.
O judges of the earth, worship

438
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,760
the Lord with reverence, and
rejoice with trembling.

439
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,520
Do homage to the sun that he has
not become angry, and you perish

440
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,400
in this way, for his wrath may
soon be kindled.

441
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,920
How blessed are all who take
refuge in him.

442
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:37,000
Pastor noted that in the KJVKJV
also, the ESV says kiss the sun

443
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,200
instead of pay or do homage to
the sun.

444
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,640
So gives you a little picture
of, you know, if you're bowing

445
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,560
down, kissing the king, you
know, that kind of thing.

446
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,920
But I like it that it's not just
like there's like a decision,

447
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,960
like, hey, kings, take heed to
this.

448
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,440
You know, you've got, you've got
some options, some choices.

449
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,280
You know your.
You know your actions will have

450
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,840
consequences one way or the
other.

451
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:06,320
Yeah, and if you are wise, you
will want to be conquered in a

452
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,400
sense by Christ.
You would want to willingly

453
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,880
submit to his kingship in your
life.

454
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,520
And that was what Dorothy Day
was going to say back to Henley

455
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,600
cause in response to his poem
Invictus, she writes this poem

456
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,640
conquered.
And it says out of the light

457
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,480
that dazzles me, bright as the
sun, from pole to pole.

458
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:33,600
I thank the God I know to be for
Christ the Conqueror of my soul,

459
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,880
since his the sway of
circumstance.

460
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:42,360
I would not wince nor cry aloud
under the rule which men call

461
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:45,240
chance.
My head, my joy, is humbly bowed

462
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,320
beyond this place of sin and
tears.

463
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,120
That life with Him and His, that
aid, that spite the menace of

464
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:56,480
the years keeps and will keep me
unafraid.

465
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,560
I have No Fear though the
straight through the through

466
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,640
though the straight, though
straight the gate He cleared

467
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,960
from punishment, the scroll.
Christ is the master of my fate.

468
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,320
Christ is the Captain of my
soul.

469
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,920
So you see her alluding back to
the straight gate and the

470
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,360
punishment of the scroll that he
had written in his.

471
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:18,880
And she's like, I don't have any
fear.

472
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:20,600
I I.
I love what she did 'cause I

473
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,880
was, I was comparing as you're
reading it.

474
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,320
And it's like not word for word,
but it's like she just like

475
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,640
twist little things here.
And it's like, oh, such a good,

476
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,400
such a good response.
And so you read a Psalm like

477
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,080
Psalm 2.
You know what?

478
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,400
What do we take from that?
What do we learn?

479
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,080
Well, let's talk about Handel,
Handel's Messiah, which was we

480
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,040
the choir, you know, sang at
first did a great job.

481
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,800
It sounded really, really good.
Thank you.

482
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,960
And he kind of gave some some
background here.

483
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:48,920
Did you hear?
The tenors.

484
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,640
Great.
I heard the tenors were not

485
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,600
great in practice.
They were a little quiet, but we

486
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,320
could hear them.
Just kidding because Tim kept.

487
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,800
Saying, you know, we put the
basically the mic was if I

488
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,040
demonstrated on camera like
beside my head because he's

489
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,240
wanting the mic to hit the
tenors behind on the bases.

490
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,040
Gotcha.
Yeah, yeah, I, I thought it was

491
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,560
great.
He was kind of talking about

492
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,920
Handel was like in a frenzy.
He was like a man possessed,

493
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,000
like writing this thing.
People were like, man, he's

494
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,520
going crazy.
He's like just writing.

495
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,920
He wrote it in.
Three weeks, 21 days.

496
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,920
That's crazy.
Yeah, it's.

497
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:23,200
It's hard to know what their
life is like, but this is a 3.

498
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,560
It's three hours worth of music,
so we're not just talking.

499
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,120
About we're not just.
Talking about the Hallelujah

500
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:29,840
chorus, the whole handles
Messiah like I have it.

501
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,280
It's like a book this, you know,
has all these different

502
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,280
scripture, you know, that he put
in there.

503
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:37,200
Yeah, that's.
That's pretty, pretty amazing.

504
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,320
And you know, boom ironically
died at 74 like performing

505
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,280
handle site or conducting it.
So you know, you know.

506
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,040
People say I want to go out
doing what I love.

507
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,160
I mean, how, How better you
know?

508
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:56,720
That that's so just Speaking of
the, you know, words and

509
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,000
everything behind it.
It was dropped from Psalm 2.

510
00:25:59,000 --> 00:25:59,880
Is that the thing?
I don't know.

511
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:01,760
I don't really know that the
words of that that's what's

512
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,600
based on.
Handles Messiah, yeah, yeah, but

513
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,280
I mean the whole the hallowed
course, yes, the whole Messiah

514
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,920
is scripture from all over.
Like like if you read I sang

515
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,240
this Resuscitiv.
Thus saith the Lord.

516
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,560
And I think it's taken from
well, a couple different places,

517
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:28,360
couple different minor prophets.
Thus saith the Lord, once in a

518
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:30,680
while shake the heavens and the
earth.

519
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,800
Yeah, I can sing.
I can sing if you don't.

520
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:34,240
Want me to?
Yeah, let's.

521
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:37,680
We'll take a moment and we'll
we'll go to some singing here.

522
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:38,840
We'll do.
That later, yeah.

523
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,000
Yeah, yeah, we'll link to that
and there's some really good

524
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,920
practical questions.
Have you embraced Jesus Christ

525
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,400
as your king?
Have you recognized the deep

526
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,840
rebellion in your own heart
that's really, you know,

527
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,680
paramount to to the gospel
recognizing you are needing?

528
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,400
I like framing it as Jesus
Christ as King who reigns and

529
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,760
rules because it's easy to say
like pray to prayer.

530
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,320
It's like that's different than
the legs submitting to the king.

531
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,320
That's right, Yeah.
The best evidence of a changed

532
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,920
life is a changed life.
And so, yeah, that's true.

533
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,240
If if you, if, if Christ is
coming to your life, it will

534
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,240
change you and, and it will bear
fruit as you submit to him.

535
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,680
And that's really the second
question is, you know, first

536
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,120
question that Zach was asking is
like, have you submitted?

537
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:25,080
And, and the second one is if if
you've submitted, how fully if

538
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,480
you're submitted, you know, as
believers, we always have ways

539
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,840
that we can grow and become more
like Christ.

540
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:34,960
Let your heart be filled with
joy that Jesus rule will be

541
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,880
established fully rejoice in our
hope.

542
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,520
There is a comfort.
There is a joy.

543
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,080
You know, people, no one wants
to be conquered.

544
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,320
That's like that.
But it's like it's good to be a

545
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,080
slave.
It's good to submit.

546
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,000
I mean, you're submitting to the
right things, right?

547
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,480
And so there is like a piece
about, about that, that.

548
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,080
And I think I mean, we've, we've
wrapped up Romans, but it's like

549
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,600
you look at the world and there
is like it's not arbitrary.

550
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,600
There is like a way things are
going.

551
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,640
It's like you want to be on
that, on that positive side.

552
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:08,400
So I really enjoyed looking at
Psalm 2 finances, dollar, dollar

553
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,680
bills, y'all where that's what
we're looking at, some money,

554
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,160
yeah.
Yeah.

555
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,200
So get ready tithing, a lot of
tithing that's I think it's just

556
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,960
going to be all about how we
should tie for her.

557
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,280
And probably like what?
I think there's some scriptures

558
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,560
that support tithing to
podcasters.

559
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,720
So I think we'll we'll try to
make that argument.

560
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,520
Yeah, a lot.
Of people say it's like Old

561
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,520
Testament's tithing, New
Testament's giving, but they

562
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,880
forget that third category of.
Tithing to podcasters, it's in

563
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,520
there.
So we'll, we'll find some, we'll

564
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,080
find something to support it.
Great.

565
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,800
Well, looking forward to it.
Look forward to, you know, man,

566
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,000
getting some new, new territory.
That's right.

567
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,840
So that is our take.
