  • Allen: we've been quiet while there's been a redefinition of marriage.
  • 00:01:09.085 --> 00:01:12.422
  • The biblical view of marriage has been set aside.
  • 00:01:12.422 --> 00:01:15.458
  • And we're for the most part, quiet because we understand
  • 00:01:15.458 --> 00:01:18.761
  • There could be some significant pushback, reprisal even.
  • 00:01:18.761 --> 00:01:22.065
  • Maybe forfeiture of opportunity.
  • 00:01:22.065 --> 00:01:24.334
  • We would be called names, we would be labeled.
  • 00:01:24.334 --> 00:01:28.571
  • Well, if you wanna bear the label of jesus, you'll have to
  • 00:01:28.571 --> 00:01:32.175
  • Be willing to bear the labels that his enemies would affix
  • 00:01:32.175 --> 00:01:35.411
  • To you.
  • 00:01:35.411 --> 00:01:38.181
  • I don't believe we have choices on those things.
  • 00:01:38.181 --> 00:01:40.984
  • The biblical view of male and female is being set aside while
  • 00:01:40.984 --> 00:01:44.621
  • Our children are being abandoned to mutilation.
  • 00:01:44.621 --> 00:01:49.192
  • And in the hospitals and the medical practitioners that see
  • 00:01:49.192 --> 00:01:51.761
  • It as a profit center, we say very little too.
  • 00:01:51.761 --> 00:01:55.732
  • We'll work alongside of them.
  • 00:01:55.732 --> 00:01:57.100
  • We'll work under their umbrellas.
  • 00:01:57.100 --> 00:01:58.468
  • We'll just turn a blind eye.
  • 00:01:58.468 --> 00:02:03.540
  • The biblical view of boundaries and borders have been set aside.
  • 00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:06.643
  • The biblical views of sexual morality have been set aside.
  • 00:02:06.643 --> 00:02:11.247
  • We don't even hold those in our own families any longer.
  • 00:02:11.247 --> 00:02:13.550
  • Oh, we'll point accusing fingers at someone in a leadership
  • 00:02:13.550 --> 00:02:16.119
  • Position or someone we--but amongst our own, amongst those
  • 00:02:16.119 --> 00:02:19.255
  • That we're doing life with, we don't wanna introduce those
  • 00:02:19.255 --> 00:02:21.491
  • Hard conversations.
  • 00:02:21.491 --> 00:02:23.760
  • We're talking about grace and mercy and we'll show
  • 00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:27.497
  • Baptism pictures.
  • 00:02:27.497 --> 00:02:28.831
  • Well, i'm an advocate for grace and mercy.
  • 00:02:28.831 --> 00:02:30.200
  • I'm a poster child for grace and mercy, but it doesn't suspend
  • 00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:33.603
  • The holiness, the righteousness and the purity of god.
  • 00:02:33.603 --> 00:02:36.406
  • We do not have the freedom and the liberty to practice
  • 00:02:36.406 --> 00:02:39.676
  • Ungodliness and imagine we can be included amongst the godly.
  • 00:02:39.676 --> 00:02:45.782
  • We don't.
  • 00:02:45.782 --> 00:02:49.185
  • So, we're going to temple with jesus.
  • 00:02:49.185 --> 00:02:52.322
  • We're gonna listen to what he has to say.
  • 00:02:52.322 --> 00:02:53.823
  • I didn't forget where i said we were headed.
  • 00:02:53.823 --> 00:02:57.260
  • In luke chapter 2, it's very near the end--the beginning of
  • 00:02:57.260 --> 00:03:00.296
  • His story, jesus is just 12.
  • 00:03:00.296 --> 00:03:02.799
  • He's been taken to jerusalem for the holiday the first time.
  • 00:03:02.799 --> 00:03:06.669
  • It's a signal of his recognition that he's entered manhood.
  • 00:03:06.669 --> 00:03:10.139
  • And mary and joseph lost him.
  • 00:03:10.139 --> 00:03:13.009
  • Awkward.
  • 00:03:13.009 --> 00:03:15.044
  • So, they go back, "when they didn't find him, they went back
  • 00:03:15.044 --> 00:03:17.347
  • To jerusalem to look.
  • 00:03:17.347 --> 00:03:18.715
  • And after three days they found him in the temple courts
  • 00:03:18.715 --> 00:03:21.484
  • Sitting, among the teachers, listening to them and asking
  • 00:03:21.484 --> 00:03:24.053
  • Them questions.
  • 00:03:24.053 --> 00:03:25.388
  • And everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and
  • 00:03:25.388 --> 00:03:27.323
  • His answers.
  • 00:03:27.323 --> 00:03:28.658
  • When his parents saw him, they were astonished.
  • 00:03:28.658 --> 00:03:30.994
  • And his mother said to him, 'son, why have you treated us
  • 00:03:30.994 --> 00:03:33.696
  • Like this?
  • 00:03:33.696 --> 00:03:35.565
  • Your father and i have been anxiously searching for you.'"
  • 00:03:35.565 --> 00:03:40.403
  • And i think what's not written but probably understood, "and
  • 00:03:40.403 --> 00:03:43.339
  • It's better that i found you than your dad did."
  • 00:03:43.339 --> 00:03:49.479
  • And jesus answered, "why were you searching for me?"
  • 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.249
  • You know, we've all been coached almost at nauseam that jesus is
  • 00:03:53.249 --> 00:03:56.619
  • Always kind.
  • 00:03:56.619 --> 00:03:59.122
  • That everything he had to say was just like about a group hug
  • 00:03:59.122 --> 00:04:01.791
  • And a handshake.
  • 00:04:01.791 --> 00:04:03.626
  • He handed out candy and everybody was happy.
  • 00:04:03.626 --> 00:04:06.195
  • But even at 12 years old, his answer to his mom, they left to
  • 00:04:06.195 --> 00:04:12.235
  • Go home and he didn't go with them intentionally.
  • 00:04:12.235 --> 00:04:16.339
  • He didn't tell them, he didn't send them a text.
  • 00:04:16.339 --> 00:04:21.944
  • He apparently didn't even tell any of his friends, he just
  • 00:04:21.944 --> 00:04:24.414
  • Quietly stayed behind.
  • 00:04:24.414 --> 00:04:27.116
  • So, after several days of anxiety, and disrupted plans,
  • 00:04:27.116 --> 00:04:30.553
  • And searching for him, mary finds jesus and he said, "well,
  • 00:04:30.553 --> 00:04:34.757
  • Didn't, you know i had to be here?"
  • 00:04:34.757 --> 00:04:38.695
  • I'm pretty sure when i was 12 if i'd have caused that mass
  • 00:04:38.695 --> 00:04:41.197
  • Disruption and that had been my answer, it would not have gone
  • 00:04:41.197 --> 00:04:43.533
  • Well with me.
  • 00:04:43.533 --> 00:04:49.238
  • And luke simply reports in verse 50 that, "they didn't understand
  • 00:04:49.238 --> 00:04:52.241
  • What he was saying."
  • 00:04:52.241 --> 00:04:54.877
  • So, we meet jesus at 12, really, the beginning of his
  • 00:04:54.877 --> 00:04:57.413
  • Public ministry.
  • 00:04:57.413 --> 00:04:58.781
  • I mean, it isn't gonna take place for almost another 20
  • 00:04:58.781 --> 00:05:00.750
  • Years, but he's in the temple talking to the leaders.
  • 00:05:00.750 --> 00:05:05.688
  • Luke chapter 4, jesus has been baptized and he's ready now to
  • 00:05:05.688 --> 00:05:09.692
  • Step into public.
  • 00:05:09.692 --> 00:05:11.027
  • He's an adult, 30 years of age and it says in luke 4 verse 9,
  • 00:05:11.027 --> 00:05:14.097
  • "the devil led jesus to jerusalem and had him stand on
  • 00:05:14.097 --> 00:05:17.734
  • The highest point of the temple.
  • 00:05:17.734 --> 00:05:20.002
  • And he said, 'if you're the son of god, throw yourself down
  • 00:05:20.002 --> 00:05:22.405
  • For here.'"
  • 00:05:22.405 --> 00:05:23.773
  • The devil knew very well who he was.
  • 00:05:23.773 --> 00:05:25.241
  • He knew him before the earth was created.
  • 00:05:25.241 --> 00:05:29.011
  • He knew him in all of his glory and his majesty.
  • 00:05:29.011 --> 00:05:31.247
  • We know that 'cause the demons know who he is.
  • 00:05:31.247 --> 00:05:35.318
  • When he steps into the synagogue in capernaum, the demons cries
  • 00:05:35.318 --> 00:05:38.421
  • Out, "i know who you are."
  • 00:05:38.421 --> 00:05:41.424
  • So, i promise you the devil knew who he was.
  • 00:05:41.424 --> 00:05:45.628
  • He's tempting.
  • 00:05:45.628 --> 00:05:47.997
  • The frailty of the human condition makes him vulnerable
  • 00:05:47.997 --> 00:05:50.867
  • In a way that satan has never known him.
  • 00:05:50.867 --> 00:05:52.802
  • And he stands him on the pinnacle of the temple, the
  • 00:05:52.802 --> 00:05:54.737
  • Highest point of the temple, which is quite
  • 00:05:54.737 --> 00:05:56.572
  • An elevated place.
  • 00:05:56.572 --> 00:05:59.008
  • And said, "if you're the son of god."
  • 00:05:59.008 --> 00:06:01.544
  • I don't think it's accidental or incidental that satan begins
  • 00:06:01.544 --> 00:06:04.313
  • The temptation at the temple.
  • 00:06:04.313 --> 00:06:07.517
  • And jesus quotes scripture to him.
  • 00:06:07.517 --> 00:06:10.987
  • In luke 19, jesus is approaching jerusalem.
  • 00:06:10.987 --> 00:06:15.858
  • It's the last of his trips there.
  • 00:06:15.858 --> 00:06:18.194
  • This trip is going to end with some horrible things.
  • 00:06:18.194 --> 00:06:22.598
  • Betrayal, and arrest, and crucifixion.
  • 00:06:22.598 --> 00:06:25.334
  • Yes, we celebrate the resurrection, but the path
  • 00:06:25.334 --> 00:06:27.870
  • Between his entry into the city and that resurrection is brutal
  • 00:06:27.870 --> 00:06:31.507
  • Beyond consideration.
  • 00:06:31.507 --> 00:06:33.976
  • And as jesus approaches the city, he's approaching from
  • 00:06:33.976 --> 00:06:38.147
  • The east and you come down the mount of olives
  • 00:06:38.147 --> 00:06:39.749
  • And there's the kidron valley
  • 00:06:39.749 --> 00:06:41.217
  • And then before you, the city of jerusalem 'cause
  • 00:06:41.217 --> 00:06:43.019
  • Although it's built on a hill, the mount of olives is taller.
  • 00:06:43.019 --> 00:06:45.588
  • So, as you crush the mount of olives, the whole city spreads
  • 00:06:45.588 --> 00:06:48.558
  • Before you and immediately in front of you is the temple,
  • 00:06:48.558 --> 00:06:51.761
  • Herod's temple, the second temple.
  • 00:06:51.761 --> 00:06:55.231
  • It's this amazing, beautiful structure.
  • 00:06:55.231 --> 00:06:57.233
  • One of the wonders of the ancient world.
  • 00:06:57.233 --> 00:06:59.035
  • And as jesus comes into jerusalem, luke writes for us
  • 00:06:59.035 --> 00:07:01.704
  • That, "as he approached jerusalem and saw the city,
  • 00:07:01.704 --> 00:07:03.573
  • He wept."
  • 00:07:03.573 --> 00:07:06.242
  • It's the triumphal entry, the children are saying,
  • 00:07:06.242 --> 00:07:08.878
  • "hosanna to the king!"
  • 00:07:08.878 --> 00:07:11.848
  • But jesus's emotions are very different.
  • 00:07:11.848 --> 00:07:14.116
  • He's not basking in the celebratory attitude of
  • 00:07:14.116 --> 00:07:17.587
  • His arrival.
  • 00:07:17.587 --> 00:07:21.090
  • And then jesus as prophet said, "if you'd only known on this day
  • 00:07:21.090 --> 00:07:24.093
  • What would bring you peace—but now it's hidden from your eyes.
  • 00:07:24.093 --> 00:07:28.264
  • The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an
  • 00:07:28.264 --> 00:07:30.399
  • Embankment against you and encircled you and hem you in
  • 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.768
  • On every side."
  • 00:07:32.768 --> 00:07:34.103
  • He's describing a war.
  • 00:07:34.103 --> 00:07:35.605
  • A siege built against jerusalem.
  • 00:07:35.605 --> 00:07:37.406
  • If you stand on that same amount of olives today against the the
  • 00:07:37.406 --> 00:07:40.877
  • Wall of herod's temple mount, it's still.
  • 00:07:40.877 --> 00:07:43.079
  • There's the dirt that was piled up as a part of that roman
  • 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.449
  • Siege ramp.
  • 00:07:46.449 --> 00:07:47.817
  • What jesus said in luke 19, you can see with your eyes on
  • 00:07:47.817 --> 00:07:50.953
  • The mount of olives today.
  • 00:07:50.953 --> 00:07:55.057
  • "they'll dash you to the ground, you and the children within
  • 00:07:55.057 --> 00:07:57.326
  • Your walls.
  • 00:07:57.326 --> 00:07:58.694
  • They'll not leave one stone on another, because you didn't
  • 00:07:58.694 --> 00:08:01.030
  • Recognize the time of god's coming to you."
  • 00:08:01.030 --> 00:08:03.499
  • For people that say jesus wasn't political, that he didn't engage
  • 00:08:03.499 --> 00:08:07.203
  • Current events, you need to listen to what he's saying.
  • 00:08:07.203 --> 00:08:11.674
  • He said, "the romans are coming for you and there's
  • 00:08:11.674 --> 00:08:16.212
  • Nothing you can do.
  • 00:08:16.212 --> 00:08:20.216
  • You didn't choose the kingdom and now you'll get
  • 00:08:20.216 --> 00:08:23.319
  • Something else."
  • 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.888
  • See, the choices of our lives have consequences.
  • 00:08:25.888 --> 00:08:29.592
  • God's covenant with the jewish people is not interrupted.
  • 00:08:29.592 --> 00:08:33.029
  • It's as much enforced today.
  • 00:08:33.029 --> 00:08:35.197
  • He's established the jewish people in that little strip of
  • 00:08:35.197 --> 00:08:37.433
  • Land that he promised them much to the consternation of
  • 00:08:37.433 --> 00:08:40.636
  • The world.
  • 00:08:40.636 --> 00:08:43.039
  • There are missiles launched their way on a daily basis.
  • 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.309
  • In tiny israel about what?
  • 00:08:46.309 --> 00:08:49.412
  • Ninety-nine point six percent of the land in the middle east
  • 00:08:49.412 --> 00:08:52.048
  • Belongs to the muslims and that little tiny percentage that is
  • 00:08:52.048 --> 00:08:54.617
  • Israel flourishes.
  • 00:08:54.617 --> 00:08:57.386
  • God's keeping his covenant.
  • 00:08:57.386 --> 00:09:02.258
  • We're making choices and our future is related to
  • 00:09:02.258 --> 00:09:06.629
  • Our choices.
  • 00:09:06.629 --> 00:09:09.365
  • Every generation has to make a choice for themselves.
  • 00:09:09.365 --> 00:09:15.938
  • What will be said of us?
  • 00:09:13.436 --> 00:09:18.274
  • I believe those three passages in luke 2:4 and 19 are really
  • 00:09:18.274 --> 00:09:22.144
  • A synopsis.
  • 00:09:22.144 --> 00:09:23.479
  • We see jesus as a boy, he understood his assignment.
  • 00:09:23.479 --> 00:09:25.247
  • He's already in the temple beginning.
  • 00:09:25.247 --> 00:09:27.183
  • The devil understood who jesus represented and what
  • 00:09:27.183 --> 00:09:30.152
  • He represented.
  • 00:09:30.152 --> 00:09:31.520
  • He tempted him to give him the authority to take a shortcut.
  • 00:09:31.520 --> 00:09:38.527
  • And in luke 19, jesus is weeping because in spite of the message
  • 00:09:38.527 --> 00:09:41.797
  • He's delivered, in spite of the miracles he's demonstrated, in
  • 00:09:41.797 --> 00:09:44.800
  • Spite of all that he's done and said on his search and rescue
  • 00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:47.737
  • Mission, he's weeping for that generation.
  • 00:09:47.737 --> 00:09:49.972
  • The purposes of god will not be set aside.
  • 00:09:49.972 --> 00:09:53.242
  • His commitment to his covenant people isn't going to
  • 00:09:53.242 --> 00:09:55.411
  • Be changed.
  • 00:09:55.411 --> 00:09:56.779
  • The door will be open to all beyond the jewish community.
  • 00:09:56.779 --> 00:09:59.949
  • But the suffering of that generation
  • 00:09:59.949 --> 00:10:02.752
  • Brought great sorrow to jesus.
  • 00:10:02.752 --> 00:10:07.823
  • Allen: we have partnered with our friends tim and david barton
  • 00:10:12.028 --> 00:10:14.463
  • To make available to you a two-volume set on
  • 00:10:14.463 --> 00:10:17.233
  • American history.

  • It's "the american story."
  • 00:10:18.567 --> 00:10:19.935
  • And it focuses on the part of american history that's been
  • 00:10:19.935 --> 00:10:22.104
  • Lost in much of our public education these days.
  • 00:10:22.104 --> 00:10:25.007
  • It's god's engagement with this nation and how he brought the
  • 00:10:25.007 --> 00:10:28.277
  • American story forward.
  • 00:10:28.277 --> 00:10:29.745
  • Our nation is more than politics or republicans and democrats.
  • 00:10:29.745 --> 00:10:33.182
  • It's god working in the lives of people to shape a nation that
  • 00:10:33.182 --> 00:10:36.752
  • Had brought forth his purposes in the world.
  • 00:10:36.752 --> 00:10:39.021
  • I believe it's an important part of our faith journey this year,
  • 00:10:39.021 --> 00:10:41.991
  • And i believe the books will be a blessing to you.
  • 00:10:41.991 --> 00:10:44.360
  • Announcer: the 250th anniversary of our nation is an important
  • 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.830

  • 00:11:12.088 --> 00:11:17.526
  • Allen: the conclusion of jesus's first century ministry was
  • 00:11:20.529 --> 00:11:22.932
  • In jerusalem.
  • 00:11:22.932 --> 00:11:24.266
  • It may have begun in galilee on the hills around that freshwater
  • 00:11:24.266 --> 00:11:27.570
  • Lake, but the conclusion of his public ministry is in jerusalem.
  • 00:11:27.570 --> 00:11:30.906
  • I gave you several passages.
  • 00:11:30.906 --> 00:11:32.541
  • Can't read 'em all, but we'll touch 'em quickly.
  • 00:11:32.541 --> 00:11:34.276
  • Luke 19, "he entered the temple area and began driving out those
  • 00:11:34.276 --> 00:11:37.980
  • Who were selling.
  • 00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:40.416
  • He said, 'it's written, "my house will be a house of
  • 00:11:40.416 --> 00:11:42.384
  • Prayer;" but you've made it a den of robbers.'"
  • 00:11:42.384 --> 00:11:44.553
  • That is not friendly jesus.
  • 00:11:44.553 --> 00:11:47.990
  • We know from the other gospels that he made a whip and he
  • 00:11:47.990 --> 00:11:52.128
  • Literally, physically drove them out, physically
  • 00:11:52.128 --> 00:11:56.132
  • Intimidating them.
  • 00:11:56.132 --> 00:11:57.466
  • If you prefer, bullying them out of the temple.
  • 00:11:57.466 --> 00:12:03.472
  • Not because there was a monetary exchange taking place.
  • 00:12:03.472 --> 00:12:08.377
  • Our biblical ignorance allows us to be manipulated greatly.
  • 00:12:08.377 --> 00:12:13.816
  • I've read articles, i've had to sit in discussions how it's
  • 00:12:13.816 --> 00:12:16.852
  • Inappropriate to have any financial exchange at church
  • 00:12:16.852 --> 00:12:20.923
  • Because jesus drove out the moneylenders.
  • 00:12:20.923 --> 00:12:25.895
  • The shepherd's fields in bethlehem, remember them?
  • 00:12:25.895 --> 00:12:29.098
  • Where the angels showed up at jesus birth story, luke 2.
  • 00:12:29.098 --> 00:12:33.335
  • You can follow the valley from bethlehem all the way to the
  • 00:12:33.335 --> 00:12:36.071
  • Kidron valley, right into the sheep gate, to the pools
  • 00:12:36.071 --> 00:12:38.641
  • Of bethesda.
  • 00:12:38.641 --> 00:12:40.009
  • Anyone wanna guess who owned the sheep in the shepherd's
  • 00:12:40.009 --> 00:12:43.913
  • Fields in bethlehem?
  • 00:12:43.913 --> 00:12:46.081
  • The same people that controlled the temple in jerusalem.
  • 00:12:46.081 --> 00:12:50.152
  • Every family needed a lamb.
  • 00:12:50.152 --> 00:12:52.988
  • It was a part of the required sacrifice.
  • 00:12:52.988 --> 00:12:56.692
  • So, if you wanna maximize your opportunity, you wanna own the
  • 00:12:56.692 --> 00:12:59.094
  • Supply chain.
  • 00:12:59.094 --> 00:13:01.564
  • You need a lamb without spot or blemish.
  • 00:13:01.564 --> 00:13:03.766
  • So, if you can control the shepherd's fields and you own
  • 00:13:03.766 --> 00:13:05.835
  • The sheep and you own the gate that they come into the city and
  • 00:13:05.835 --> 00:13:09.672
  • You can have 'em cleaned up with the pool and then sell 'em to
  • 00:13:09.672 --> 00:13:12.041
  • The people, there is a profit opportunity.
  • 00:13:12.041 --> 00:13:18.581
  • And the leadership of the temple in jerusalem were ripping off
  • 00:13:18.581 --> 00:13:22.084
  • The people.
  • 00:13:22.084 --> 00:13:25.621
  • It's very clear you had to buy an animal for sacrifice.
  • 00:13:25.621 --> 00:13:28.424
  • That's what made it a sacrifice.
  • 00:13:28.424 --> 00:13:32.862
  • It wasn't the exchange of money, it was the extortion of
  • 00:13:32.862 --> 00:13:35.898
  • Exorbitant profit from a people who had an assignment
  • 00:13:35.898 --> 00:13:39.501
  • To participate.
  • 00:13:39.501 --> 00:13:42.071
  • Jesus said, "you've made my father's house a house
  • 00:13:42.071 --> 00:13:44.473
  • Of thieves."
  • 00:13:44.473 --> 00:13:47.877
  • I'm telling you that's angry jesus.
  • 00:13:47.877 --> 00:13:52.281
  • Can you think of any place else in the new testament where you
  • 00:13:52.281 --> 00:13:54.383
  • Find angry jesus?
  • 00:13:54.383 --> 00:13:56.919
  • You read the book of revelation lately?
  • 00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.955
  • He is some torqued up.
  • 00:13:59.955 --> 00:14:08.097
  • Verse 47, "every day he was teaching at the temple.
  • 00:14:08.097 --> 00:14:11.033
  • But the chief priest, and the teachers of the law and
  • 00:14:11.033 --> 00:14:13.269
  • The leaders among the people were trying to kill him."
  • 00:14:13.269 --> 00:14:16.171
  • Those two sentences, those two are just there abutted together.
  • 00:14:16.171 --> 00:14:19.808
  • Luke says, "every day jesus taught at the temple and every
  • 00:14:19.808 --> 00:14:22.945
  • Day the power structure wanted to kill him."
  • 00:14:22.945 --> 00:14:28.550
  • There were some people listening, and learning, and
  • 00:14:28.550 --> 00:14:30.686
  • Growing, and there were some people plotting, and scheming,
  • 00:14:30.686 --> 00:14:33.422
  • And hating, and opposing.
  • 00:14:33.422 --> 00:14:36.759
  • It's real pressure because we're told in multiple places that his
  • 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.362
  • Miracles happen and then jesus is doing what he does.
  • 00:14:40.362 --> 00:14:43.032
  • People are afraid to be identified with him in public
  • 00:14:43.032 --> 00:14:46.368
  • Because there's so much social pressure.
  • 00:14:46.368 --> 00:14:49.538
  • Gee, that doesn't sound familiar.
  • 00:14:49.538 --> 00:14:55.110
  • Again, it isn't new.
  • 00:14:55.110 --> 00:14:59.381
  • "they couldn't find any way to carry out their plans because
  • 00:14:59.381 --> 00:15:02.351
  • The people hung on his words."
  • 00:15:02.351 --> 00:15:05.054
  • But they didn't hang on his words enough to defend him.
  • 00:15:05.054 --> 00:15:13.062
  • Luke 20, "one day as he was teaching the people in the
  • 00:15:13.062 --> 00:15:15.531
  • Temple courts and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and
  • 00:15:15.531 --> 00:15:17.800
  • Teaches the law, together with the elders, came up to him.
  • 00:15:17.800 --> 00:15:20.536
  • 'tell us by what authority you're doing these things.'"
  • 00:15:20.536 --> 00:15:23.872
  • That's not exactly like a supportive inquiry.
  • 00:15:23.872 --> 00:15:28.110
  • "you didn't graduate from our schools.
  • 00:15:28.110 --> 00:15:30.512
  • We didn't credential you.
  • 00:15:30.512 --> 00:15:32.681
  • We haven't authorized you to deliver the--what gives you
  • 00:15:32.681 --> 00:15:35.217
  • This authority?"
  • 00:15:35.217 --> 00:15:38.687
  • The next chapter, luke 21, "as he looked up, jesus saw the rich
  • 00:15:38.687 --> 00:15:41.523
  • Putting their gifts into the temple.
  • 00:15:41.523 --> 00:15:42.891
  • And he saw a poor widow put in two very small coins."
  • 00:15:42.891 --> 00:15:45.461
  • He's spending a lot of time on the temple.
  • 00:15:45.461 --> 00:15:47.162
  • Now he's paying attention to their giving, their giving was
  • 00:15:47.162 --> 00:15:49.298
  • Done in public.
  • 00:15:49.298 --> 00:15:52.101
  • And he's teaching the disciples some lessons.
  • 00:15:52.101 --> 00:15:55.004
  • Same chapter, verse 5, "some of the disciples were remarking
  • 00:15:55.004 --> 00:15:57.606
  • About how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and
  • 00:15:57.606 --> 00:16:00.175
  • With gifts dedicated to god."
  • 00:16:00.175 --> 00:16:02.311
  • It was the single greatest point of national pride, was that
  • 00:16:02.311 --> 00:16:07.149
  • Whole temple structure.
  • 00:16:07.149 --> 00:16:10.185
  • And jesus said, "as for what you see here, the time will come
  • 00:16:10.185 --> 00:16:12.721
  • When not one stone will be left on another; every one will be
  • 00:16:12.721 --> 00:16:17.192
  • Thrown down."
  • 00:16:17.192 --> 00:16:18.527
  • Within 40 years of jesus's death, the temple was leveled.
  • 00:16:18.527 --> 00:16:25.734
  • Luke 21:37, "every day jesus was teaching at the temple, and each
  • 00:16:25.734 --> 00:16:29.204
  • Evening he went out to spend the night on a hill called
  • 00:16:29.204 --> 00:16:30.906
  • The mount of olives."
  • 00:16:30.906 --> 00:16:33.275
  • You've read that story of gethsemane over and over where
  • 00:16:33.275 --> 00:16:35.411
  • The disciples went with jesus to the mount of olives and went to
  • 00:16:35.411 --> 00:16:37.546
  • Sleep and you just thought they were lazy.
  • 00:16:37.546 --> 00:16:40.315
  • They've been sleeping on the mount of olives for days.
  • 00:16:40.315 --> 00:16:43.986
  • They understood when they got to the mount of olives, the day was
  • 00:16:43.986 --> 00:16:46.121
  • Over, it was time to sleep.
  • 00:16:46.121 --> 00:16:49.958
  • Luke tells us that he was teaching in the temple
  • 00:16:49.958 --> 00:16:52.061
  • Every day.
  • 00:16:52.061 --> 00:16:58.233
  • In luke 22, they come to arrest him.
  • 00:16:58.233 --> 00:17:00.135
  • It's the physical rejection of jesus and his message.
  • 00:17:00.135 --> 00:17:02.404
  • Their schemes have come to fulfillment.
  • 00:17:02.404 --> 00:17:05.941
  • "jesus said to the chief priest, and the officers of the temple
  • 00:17:05.941 --> 00:17:08.510
  • Guard, and the elders who had come for him, 'am i leading
  • 00:17:08.510 --> 00:17:10.712
  • A rebellion, that you've come for me with swords and clubs?'"
  • 00:17:10.712 --> 00:17:13.749
  • They came to jesus, they came for jesus with weapons.
  • 00:17:13.749 --> 00:17:22.157
  • "every day i was with you in the temple courts, and you didn't
  • 00:17:22.157 --> 00:17:26.028
  • Lay a hand on me.
  • 00:17:26.028 --> 00:17:28.397
  • But this is your hour—darkness reigns."
  • 00:17:28.397 --> 00:17:31.767
  • Folks, in our generation, let's make a determination that if
  • 00:17:31.767 --> 00:17:34.837
  • There is anything we can do, any response we can make to god, any
  • 00:17:34.837 --> 00:17:38.307
  • Choice we could demonstrate that would allow darkness to not
  • 00:17:38.307 --> 00:17:41.877
  • Reign, that we will make those choices.
  • 00:17:41.877 --> 00:17:44.947
  • [congregation applauding]
  • 00:17:47.950 --> 00:17:50.319
  • Jesus is crucified and in luke 23 it says, "it was the sixth
  • 00:17:52.154 --> 00:17:55.491
  • Hour, and darkness came over the whole land, the sun
  • 00:17:55.491 --> 00:17:58.927
  • Stopped shining.
  • 00:17:58.927 --> 00:18:00.262
  • And the curtain of the temple was torn in two."
  • 00:18:00.262 --> 00:18:01.897
  • It wasn't that their decorator had made a mistake.
  • 00:18:01.897 --> 00:18:07.035
  • The most sacred place in the temple was the holy of holies.
  • 00:18:07.035 --> 00:18:11.173
  • Only the high priest could enter and he could only enter once
  • 00:18:11.173 --> 00:18:13.809
  • A year and then he could only enter with the blood of the lamb
  • 00:18:13.809 --> 00:18:17.412
  • To be sprinkled on the mercy seat.
  • 00:18:17.412 --> 00:18:21.316
  • And when jesus died on the cross, the curtain that
  • 00:18:21.316 --> 00:18:24.253
  • Separated the holy of holies from the next court in the
  • 00:18:24.253 --> 00:18:27.923
  • Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
  • 00:18:27.923 --> 00:18:33.295
  • It was a visible sign that the way into the presence of god had
  • 00:18:33.295 --> 00:18:37.466
  • Been opened.
  • 00:18:37.466 --> 00:18:40.869
  • That jesus's death and his resurrection which would follow,
  • 00:18:40.869 --> 00:18:44.640
  • Would make it possible for people from every nation, race,
  • 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.442
  • Language and tribe.
  • 00:18:47.442 --> 00:18:48.810
  • It's the verse i read to you from peter, the fisherman
  • 00:18:48.810 --> 00:18:51.246
  • That jesus recruited.
  • 00:18:51.246 --> 00:18:53.849
  • He said, "once we were not a people, but now we're the people
  • 00:18:53.849 --> 00:18:56.785
  • Of god."
  • 00:18:56.785 --> 00:19:02.191
  • Luke 24, gives us the ascension story.
  • 00:19:02.191 --> 00:19:04.560
  • When he left--"led them out of the vicinity of bethany, he
  • 00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:07.029
  • Lifted up his hands and blessed them.
  • 00:19:07.029 --> 00:19:08.463
  • And while he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up
  • 00:19:08.463 --> 00:19:12.000
  • Into heaven.
  • 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:13.335
  • And they worshiped him and returned to jerusalem
  • 00:19:13.335 --> 00:19:14.703
  • With great joy.
  • 00:19:14.703 --> 00:19:16.038
  • And they, the disciples stayed continually at the temple,
  • 00:19:16.038 --> 00:19:18.907
  • Praising god."
  • 00:19:18.907 --> 00:19:21.043
  • Yes, luke tells us the redemptive work of jesus and
  • 00:19:21.043 --> 00:19:24.613
  • The miraculous circumstances of his birth.
  • 00:19:24.613 --> 00:19:26.481
  • But it also tells us the tragic consequences of rejecting
  • 00:19:26.481 --> 00:19:30.652
  • The kingdom of god.
  • 00:19:30.652 --> 00:19:33.355
  • It's wrong to point that at the jewish people and say, "they're
  • 00:19:33.355 --> 00:19:35.958
  • The only people who have ever done that."
  • 00:19:35.958 --> 00:19:39.061
  • For two millennia, the doors into the covenant with abraham
  • 00:19:39.061 --> 00:19:42.864
  • Have been opened up to everybody.
  • 00:19:42.864 --> 00:19:45.834
  • We call that newer example of that christianity, but it's not
  • 00:19:45.834 --> 00:19:49.438
  • Separate from what they had done in the hebrew bible, it's an
  • 00:19:49.438 --> 00:19:52.741
  • Extension of that through the redemptive work of jesus.
  • 00:19:52.741 --> 00:19:55.210
  • We've had two millennia and yet darkness triumphs in the earth
  • 00:19:55.210 --> 00:19:58.880
  • In unprecedented ways.
  • 00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:04.019
  • But we're in a time when the attitudes of god's people will
  • 00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:07.055
  • Determine our future more than elections, i promise you.
  • 00:20:07.055 --> 00:20:11.193
  • I believe elections have consequences.
  • 00:20:11.193 --> 00:20:13.061
  • You should all participate, encourage your friends
  • 00:20:13.061 --> 00:20:15.163
  • To participate.
  • 00:20:15.163 --> 00:20:16.498
  • I'm not diminishing that, i'm not saying they don't have merit
  • 00:20:16.498 --> 00:20:19.001
  • And value, but they are secondary to the choices that
  • 00:20:19.001 --> 00:20:23.171
  • The people of god make.
  • 00:20:23.171 --> 00:20:30.412
  • And as difficult as that was for the audience in luke's narrative
  • 00:20:30.412 --> 00:20:33.515
  • To believe, i believe it's difficult for the contemporary
  • 00:20:33.515 --> 00:20:36.485
  • Christian church in our nation.
  • 00:20:36.485 --> 00:20:40.222
  • We think someone else has to be the problem it can't be us.
  • 00:20:40.222 --> 00:20:46.862
  • Jesus put communion in place.
  • 00:20:46.862 --> 00:20:50.132
  • It really is an extension of the passover meal.
  • 00:20:50.132 --> 00:20:52.301
  • In fact, he had the passover meal with his disciples and at
  • 00:20:52.301 --> 00:20:54.603
  • The end of the meal, he took bread and broke it and said,
  • 00:20:54.603 --> 00:20:56.805
  • "this is my body broken for you."
  • 00:20:56.805 --> 00:20:59.675
  • Wasn't like a totally new creation.
  • 00:20:59.675 --> 00:21:01.410
  • He's giving a purpose to his crucifixion and resurrection.
  • 00:21:01.410 --> 00:21:06.381
  • I'm quite confident at the moment he did that with
  • 00:21:06.381 --> 00:21:08.350
  • The disciples, it was for the most part lost on them.
  • 00:21:08.350 --> 00:21:12.154
  • But it would become a very real part of their lives because in
  • 00:21:12.154 --> 00:21:14.556
  • The next few hours, they would see their best friend tortured
  • 00:21:14.556 --> 00:21:18.360
  • To death.
  • 00:21:18.360 --> 00:21:20.429
  • And then in relatively short order, they would meet
  • 00:21:20.429 --> 00:21:22.297
  • Him again.
  • 00:21:22.297 --> 00:21:23.932
  • So, the communion table became a very significant part of the
  • 00:21:23.932 --> 00:21:26.802
  • Emerging story of jesus.
  • 00:21:26.802 --> 00:21:29.905
  • And we come, not because of church tradition, we come
  • 00:21:29.905 --> 00:21:32.040
  • Because we need the tangible reminder that through jesus's
  • 00:21:32.040 --> 00:21:34.509
  • Redemptive death, he exhausted the curse of sin that we might
  • 00:21:34.509 --> 00:21:38.980
  • Have the blessing of his obedience.
  • 00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:41.783
  • But that doesn't extend a life of liberty to us, it extends to
  • 00:21:41.783 --> 00:21:46.488
  • Us an awareness of the tremendous price that had to be
  • 00:21:46.488 --> 00:21:49.958
  • Exacted because of ungodliness.
  • 00:21:49.958 --> 00:21:52.227
  • And that god forbid we should harbor purposefully ungodliness.
  • 00:21:52.227 --> 00:21:57.933
  • Treating jesus's sacrifice shabbily.
  • 00:21:57.933 --> 00:22:03.271
  • That's not the purpose of grace and mercy.
  • 00:22:03.271 --> 00:22:07.843
  • So, jesus gave us this tangible expression we might come
  • 00:22:07.843 --> 00:22:12.381
  • As disciples to be free.
  • 00:22:12.381 --> 00:22:17.753
  • See, it as often as you eat this, do this in remembrance
  • 00:22:17.753 --> 00:22:20.722
  • Of me.
  • 00:22:20.722 --> 00:22:22.090
  • Let's receive together.
  • 00:22:22.090 --> 00:22:25.927
  • And then he took a cup and he said, "this cup is
  • 00:22:25.927 --> 00:22:28.897
  • A new covenant."
  • 00:22:28.897 --> 00:22:31.633
  • It's the strongest commitment in all of the bible that god makes
  • 00:22:31.633 --> 00:22:34.302
  • With humanity, is a covenant.
  • 00:22:34.302 --> 00:22:37.305
  • "a new covenant sealed with my own blood.
  • 00:22:37.305 --> 00:22:39.441
  • As often as you drink it, you proclaim my death until you see
  • 00:22:39.441 --> 00:22:42.310
  • Me again."
  • 00:22:42.310 --> 00:22:44.212
  • We will see the lord.
  • 00:22:44.212 --> 00:22:46.648
  • What will he say to us?
  • 00:22:46.648 --> 00:22:50.352
  • Let's receive together.
  • 00:22:50.352 --> 00:22:58.527
  • You stand with me for a prayer.
  • 00:22:58.527 --> 00:23:08.537
  • Father, thank you.
  • 00:23:08.537 --> 00:23:09.871
  • Thank you for your great love for us, for your provision on
  • 00:23:09.871 --> 00:23:13.442
  • Our behalf.
  • 00:23:13.442 --> 00:23:14.910
  • That you sent your son, that he offered himself as a sacrifice
  • 00:23:14.910 --> 00:23:20.749
  • That we might be included in the people of god.
  • 00:23:20.749 --> 00:23:24.019
  • We praise you for that great honor and privilege.
  • 00:23:24.019 --> 00:23:27.088
  • Jesus, thank you for your obedience.
  • 00:23:27.088 --> 00:23:29.724
  • Holy spirit, thank you for your work on our behalf.
  • 00:23:29.724 --> 00:23:33.962
  • And we come today, we choose to humble ourselves, to ask for
  • 00:23:33.962 --> 00:23:39.067
  • Forgiveness, for any attitude, any thought, any behavior that
  • 00:23:39.067 --> 00:23:46.508
  • Would separate us from your very best.
  • 00:23:46.508 --> 00:23:49.778
  • Forgive us when we've made excuses.
  • 00:23:49.778 --> 00:23:52.481
  • Forgive us for our indifference.
  • 00:23:52.481 --> 00:23:55.484
  • Forgive us when we have willfully ignored or
  • 00:23:55.484 --> 00:24:00.655
  • Turned away.
  • 00:24:00.655 --> 00:24:02.691
  • Lord, we come today to turn our faces to you.
  • 00:24:02.691 --> 00:24:06.061
  • To give an expression of our heart that we wanna walk
  • 00:24:06.061 --> 00:24:10.298
  • Uprightly before you in holiness, in purity, and
  • 00:24:10.298 --> 00:24:13.969
  • Righteousness to be pleasing in your sight.
  • 00:24:13.969 --> 00:24:19.174
  • We're willing to be identified with you wherever and whenever
  • 00:24:19.174 --> 00:24:22.177
  • We're given the opportunity.
  • 00:24:22.177 --> 00:24:24.613
  • To bear your name, to stand for your principles, to use our
  • 00:24:24.613 --> 00:24:29.518
  • Voice and our strength that the name of jesus might be exalted
  • 00:24:29.518 --> 00:24:32.721
  • And your kingdom extended.
  • 00:24:32.721 --> 00:24:34.923
  • We praise you for it.
  • 00:24:34.923 --> 00:24:38.126
  • Father, we thank you for the many blessings you have
  • 00:24:38.126 --> 00:24:40.328
  • Given us.
  • 00:24:40.328 --> 00:24:41.696
  • We live in abundance.
  • 00:24:41.696 --> 00:24:43.164
  • The food and clothing and liberties and opportunities,
  • 00:24:43.164 --> 00:24:46.234
  • We thank you for that.
  • 00:24:46.234 --> 00:24:48.904
  • That lord we ask that you would give us the wisdom to make
  • 00:24:48.904 --> 00:24:51.339
  • Choices that those things might be extended to the generations
  • 00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:54.776
  • Who follow us.
  • 00:24:54.776 --> 00:24:57.312
  • Look upon us with grace and mercy, and once again, pour out
  • 00:24:57.312 --> 00:25:01.950
  • Your blessings upon us.
  • 00:25:01.950 --> 00:25:03.919
  • May you be pleased in jesus's name, amen.
  • 00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:08.290
  • Hallelujah, god bless you.

  • Allen: this is the 250th anniversary of our nation.
  • 00:25:16.531 --> 00:25:19.200
  • It's a big deal.
  • 00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:20.535
  • Now, i know a lot of us don't care a whole lot about history.
  • 00:25:20.535 --> 00:25:23.271
  • We didn't have great experiences in school.
  • 00:25:23.271 --> 00:25:24.940
  • I understand that, but here's the reality.
  • 00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:27.576
  • If they can steal our history, they'll rob us of our future.
  • 00:25:27.576 --> 00:25:30.745
  • So history really does matter.
  • 00:25:30.745 --> 00:25:32.647
  • Well, because of that, we have partnered with some good friends
  • 00:25:32.647 --> 00:25:35.283
  • Of our ministries, wallbuilders david and tim barton.
  • 00:25:35.283 --> 00:25:38.386
  • They have the best of the best on this topic.
  • 00:25:38.386 --> 00:25:40.689
  • It's a two-volume set on "the american story," and it helps us
  • 00:25:40.689 --> 00:25:44.259
  • Learn american history with a faith component, with a god
  • 00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:47.963
  • Perspective--how god has been engaged in the unfolding
  • 00:25:47.963 --> 00:25:50.966
  • Narrative of our american story.
  • 00:25:50.966 --> 00:25:53.468
  • That matters because we need god to be involved in the future of
  • 00:25:53.468 --> 00:25:56.871
  • The american story.
  • 00:25:56.871 --> 00:25:58.273
  • That affects our lives, our families, our communities, and
  • 00:25:58.273 --> 00:26:00.709
  • Ultimately our nation.
  • 00:26:00.709 --> 00:26:02.410
  • The books will be a blessing to you, but more than that, i
  • 00:26:02.410 --> 00:26:05.080
  • Believe they'll open your life to the imagination that god is
  • 00:26:05.080 --> 00:26:07.349
  • Moving in the earth, and we can participate with him in the next
  • 00:26:07.349 --> 00:26:10.652
