  • Music
  • 00:00:00.093 --> 00:00:13.873
  • Pastor matt hagee: when it
  • 00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:17.844
  • Pastor matt hagee: when it comes to this issue of rehoboam
  • 00:00:17.911 --> 00:00:19.412
  • Comes to this issue of rehoboam and his willingness
  • 00:00:19.479 --> 00:00:20.146
  • And his willingness to bring in bronze
  • 00:00:20.213 --> 00:00:23.883
  • To bring in bronze instead of gold,
  • 00:00:23.950 --> 00:00:26.152
  • Instead of gold, we could look at his life
  • 00:00:26.219 --> 00:00:27.353
  • We could look at his life and we could determine that
  • 00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:28.254
  • And we could determine that it's not his fault.
  • 00:00:28.321 --> 00:00:30.723
  • It's not his fault. we could give excuses
  • 00:00:30.790 --> 00:00:32.292
  • We could give excuses as to why he behaved
  • 00:00:32.358 --> 00:00:33.760
  • As to why he behaved the way he did.
  • 00:00:33.827 --> 00:00:35.662
  • The way he did. and as a matter of fact,
  • 00:00:35.728 --> 00:00:36.563
  • And as a matter of fact, in the world that
  • 00:00:36.629 --> 00:00:37.163
  • In the world that we live in today,
  • 00:00:37.230 --> 00:00:37.797
  • We live in today, we're addicted to excuses.
  • 00:00:37.864 --> 00:00:40.800
  • We're addicted to excuses. nobody is responsible
  • 00:00:40.867 --> 00:00:42.168
  • Nobody is responsible for what they do.
  • 00:00:42.235 --> 00:00:43.903
  • For what they do. somebody else made them do it.
  • 00:00:43.970 --> 00:00:46.706
  • Somebody else made them do it. everything is not your fault.
  • 00:00:46.773 --> 00:00:48.675
  • Everything is not your fault. it has to be whoever
  • 00:00:48.741 --> 00:00:49.976
  • It has to be whoever influenced you's fault.
  • 00:00:50.043 --> 00:00:53.413
  • Influenced you's fault. when i grew up,
  • 00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:55.648
  • When i grew up, we used to get
  • 00:00:55.715 --> 00:00:56.349
  • We used to get asked the question,
  • 00:00:56.416 --> 00:00:57.917
  • Asked the question, "if they told you
  • 00:00:57.984 --> 00:00:58.551
  • "if they told you to jump off the house,
  • 00:00:58.618 --> 00:00:59.319
  • To jump off the house, would you do it?"
  • 00:00:59.385 --> 00:01:01.421
  • Would you do it?" anybody grew up in that world?
  • 00:01:01.488 --> 00:01:05.225
  • Anybody grew up in that world? now, we're gonna sue
  • 00:01:05.291 --> 00:01:06.126
  • Now, we're gonna sue the homebuilder for putting
  • 00:01:06.192 --> 00:01:10.997
  • The homebuilder for putting the house that they
  • 00:01:11.064 --> 00:01:11.798
  • The house that they fell off of over there.
  • 00:01:11.865 --> 00:01:15.668
  • Fell off of over there. but we can't play the blame game
  • 00:01:15.735 --> 00:01:17.337
  • But we can't play the blame game with rehoboam and nor can we
  • 00:01:17.403 --> 00:01:19.272
  • With rehoboam and nor can we play the blame game
  • 00:01:19.339 --> 00:01:19.973
  • Play the blame game with ourselves because god
  • 00:01:20.039 --> 00:01:21.141
  • With ourselves because god does not accept excuses.
  • 00:01:21.207 --> 00:01:24.511
  • Does not accept excuses. but where would it come
  • 00:01:24.577 --> 00:01:25.578
  • But where would it come from in rehoboam's case?
  • 00:01:25.645 --> 00:01:27.714
  • From in rehoboam's case? in 1 kings 14:21,
  • 00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:30.283
  • In 1 kings 14:21, we see some insight
  • 00:01:30.350 --> 00:01:31.584
  • We see some insight into why rehoboam is willing
  • 00:01:31.651 --> 00:01:33.186
  • Into why rehoboam is willing to substitute this lower
  • 00:01:33.253 --> 00:01:34.854
  • To substitute this lower standard in the king's house
  • 00:01:34.921 --> 00:01:36.689
  • Standard in the king's house and in the temple.
  • 00:01:36.756 --> 00:01:38.124
  • And in the temple. we read in 1 kings 14:21,
  • 00:01:38.191 --> 00:01:40.160
  • We read in 1 kings 14:21, "his mother's name was naamah;
  • 00:01:40.226 --> 00:01:42.962
  • "his mother's name was naamah; she was an ammonitess."
  • 00:01:43.029 --> 00:01:45.698
  • She was an ammonitess." now, why is this important?
  • 00:01:45.765 --> 00:01:47.033
  • Now, why is this important? remember all of scripture
  • 00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:48.268
  • Remember all of scripture is breathed by the holy spirit.
  • 00:01:48.334 --> 00:01:49.936
  • Is breathed by the holy spirit. so if god didn't want this
  • 00:01:50.003 --> 00:01:51.104
  • So if god didn't want this information in the book,
  • 00:01:51.171 --> 00:01:52.605
  • Information in the book, it would've never made the list.
  • 00:01:52.672 --> 00:01:55.475
  • It would've never made the list. why do we need to know
  • 00:01:55.542 --> 00:01:56.509
  • Why do we need to know who his mother was
  • 00:01:56.576 --> 00:01:57.377
  • Who his mother was and where she came from?
  • 00:01:57.443 --> 00:01:59.479
  • And where she came from? because for all of the things
  • 00:01:59.546 --> 00:02:00.780
  • Because for all of the things that solomon did well,
  • 00:02:00.847 --> 00:02:02.682
  • That solomon did well, for all of the wealth
  • 00:02:02.749 --> 00:02:03.716
  • For all of the wealth and all of the wisdom
  • 00:02:03.783 --> 00:02:04.617
  • And all of the wisdom and discernment that he had,
  • 00:02:04.684 --> 00:02:06.152
  • And discernment that he had, when it came to intermarrying
  • 00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:08.121
  • When it came to intermarrying with other nations,
  • 00:02:08.188 --> 00:02:09.222
  • With other nations, he directly disobeyed
  • 00:02:09.289 --> 00:02:10.623
  • He directly disobeyed the voice of the lord.
  • 00:02:10.690 --> 00:02:12.725
  • The voice of the lord. we could say,
  • 00:02:12.792 --> 00:02:13.726
  • We could say, "it's not rehoboam's fault,
  • 00:02:13.793 --> 00:02:15.228
  • "it's not rehoboam's fault, it's daddy's fault,"
  • 00:02:15.295 --> 00:02:17.597
  • It's daddy's fault," if we wanted to find someone
  • 00:02:17.664 --> 00:02:18.798
  • If we wanted to find someone to make an excuse for.
  • 00:02:18.865 --> 00:02:21.467
  • To make an excuse for. 1 kings 11:1-2,
  • 00:02:21.534 --> 00:02:23.636
  • 1 kings 11:1-2, this is a word
  • 00:02:23.703 --> 00:02:24.537
  • This is a word from god to solomon.
  • 00:02:24.604 --> 00:02:27.340
  • From god to solomon. god says,
  • 00:02:27.407 --> 00:02:27.941
  • God says, "you shall not,"
  • 00:02:28.007 --> 00:02:28.641
  • "you shall not," say that with me,
  • 00:02:28.708 --> 00:02:29.776
  • Say that with me, "you shall not."
  • 00:02:29.842 --> 00:02:31.144
  • "you shall not." how many of you know
  • 00:02:31.211 --> 00:02:31.911
  • How many of you know that means no?
  • 00:02:31.978 --> 00:02:33.947
  • That means no? okay.
  • 00:02:34.013 --> 00:02:35.148
  • Okay. "you shall not intermarry
  • 00:02:35.215 --> 00:02:36.683
  • "you shall not intermarry with foreign women,
  • 00:02:36.749 --> 00:02:38.117
  • With foreign women, nor they with you.
  • 00:02:38.184 --> 00:02:39.819
  • Nor they with you. surely they will turn away
  • 00:02:39.886 --> 00:02:41.421
  • Surely they will turn away your heart after their gods."
  • 00:02:41.487 --> 00:02:43.856
  • Your heart after their gods." that's what the lord
  • 00:02:43.923 --> 00:02:44.724
  • That's what the lord told solomon.
  • 00:02:44.791 --> 00:02:46.492
  • Told solomon. why?
  • 00:02:46.559 --> 00:02:46.993
  • Why? because those other nations
  • 00:02:47.060 --> 00:02:48.228
  • Because those other nations had idol worshipping traditions
  • 00:02:48.294 --> 00:02:50.029
  • Had idol worshipping traditions and he knew that if idols
  • 00:02:50.096 --> 00:02:51.965
  • And he knew that if idols were introduced,
  • 00:02:52.031 --> 00:02:52.832
  • Were introduced, then the people of israel
  • 00:02:52.899 --> 00:02:53.967
  • Then the people of israel would turn to idols.
  • 00:02:54.033 --> 00:02:56.135
  • Would turn to idols. how well did solomon do at
  • 00:02:56.202 --> 00:02:57.704
  • How well did solomon do at following god's instructions?
  • 00:02:57.770 --> 00:02:59.405
  • Following god's instructions? 1 kings 11:3.
  • 00:02:59.472 --> 00:03:01.140
  • 1 kings 11:3. it says,
  • 00:03:01.207 --> 00:03:01.674
  • It says, "solomon had 700 wives
  • 00:03:01.741 --> 00:03:03.810
  • "solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines."
  • 00:03:03.876 --> 00:03:07.580
  • And 300 concubines." that's a busy boy.
  • 00:03:07.647 --> 00:03:09.015
  • [laughter]
  • 00:03:09.449 --> 00:03:11.684
  • And his wives turned
  • 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.320
  • And his wives turned his heart away.
  • 00:03:14.387 --> 00:03:17.724
  • His heart away. so, when we're looking
  • 00:03:17.790 --> 00:03:18.491
  • So, when we're looking at rehoboam,
  • 00:03:18.558 --> 00:03:19.192
  • At rehoboam, we can't say
  • 00:03:19.259 --> 00:03:19.792
  • We can't say it's all his fault.
  • 00:03:19.859 --> 00:03:20.660
  • It's all his fault. i mean, after all,
  • 00:03:20.727 --> 00:03:21.427
  • I mean, after all, his mother was a idol
  • 00:03:21.494 --> 00:03:22.428
  • His mother was a idol worshiping pagan.
  • 00:03:22.495 --> 00:03:23.830
  • Worshiping pagan. and when dad's got 700 wives
  • 00:03:23.896 --> 00:03:25.531
  • And when dad's got 700 wives and 300 concubines,
  • 00:03:25.598 --> 00:03:26.766
  • And 300 concubines, he's not home very often.
  • 00:03:26.833 --> 00:03:30.770
  • He's not home very often. the reason that god does not
  • 00:03:30.837 --> 00:03:32.171
  • The reason that god does not give rehoboam an excuse is
  • 00:03:32.238 --> 00:03:33.973
  • Give rehoboam an excuse is because if you notice,
  • 00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:35.174
  • Because if you notice, god did not judge
  • 00:03:35.241 --> 00:03:36.509
  • God did not judge rehoboam's actions until
  • 00:03:36.576 --> 00:03:37.977
  • Rehoboam's actions until the fifth year of his kingship.
  • 00:03:38.044 --> 00:03:41.981
  • The fifth year of his kingship. it says,
  • 00:03:42.048 --> 00:03:42.448
  • It says, "and rehoboam became king
  • 00:03:42.515 --> 00:03:44.117
  • "and rehoboam became king and in year five,
  • 00:03:44.183 --> 00:03:46.386
  • And in year five, egypt came."
  • 00:03:46.452 --> 00:03:47.220
  • Egypt came." what does that mean?
  • 00:03:47.287 --> 00:03:48.154
  • What does that mean? that means god gave him five
  • 00:03:48.221 --> 00:03:50.390
  • That means god gave him five full years to make up his mind
  • 00:03:50.456 --> 00:03:53.293
  • Full years to make up his mind which god he would serve.
  • 00:03:53.359 --> 00:03:57.297
  • Which god he would serve. god does not judge you
  • 00:03:57.363 --> 00:03:59.198
  • God does not judge you based on what others have done,
  • 00:03:59.265 --> 00:04:00.967
  • Based on what others have done, god looks at you
  • 00:04:01.034 --> 00:04:01.901
  • God looks at you for who you are
  • 00:04:01.968 --> 00:04:02.769
  • For who you are and what you do.
  • 00:04:02.835 --> 00:04:03.836
  • [applause]
  • 00:04:05.505 --> 00:04:10.576
  • Year one, god's in heaven,
  • 00:04:11.010 --> 00:04:12.845
  • Year one, god's in heaven, "are you gonna worship me?"
  • 00:04:12.912 --> 00:04:14.514
  • "are you gonna worship me?" year two, god's in heaven,
  • 00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:16.416
  • Year two, god's in heaven, "you're still not
  • 00:04:16.482 --> 00:04:17.050
  • "you're still not worshiping me."
  • 00:04:17.116 --> 00:04:18.017
  • Worshiping me." year three,
  • 00:04:18.084 --> 00:04:19.319
  • Year three, "i'm waiting for you
  • 00:04:19.385 --> 00:04:20.086
  • "i'm waiting for you to take down the idols."
  • 00:04:20.153 --> 00:04:21.321
  • To take down the idols." year four,
  • 00:04:21.387 --> 00:04:22.588
  • Year four, "nothing's changed."
  • 00:04:22.655 --> 00:04:23.990
  • "nothing's changed." year five, god says,
  • 00:04:24.057 --> 00:04:25.425
  • Year five, god says, "that's enough."
  • 00:04:25.491 --> 00:04:28.027
  • "that's enough." when judgment falls,
  • 00:04:28.094 --> 00:04:28.995
  • When judgment falls, people wanna know
  • 00:04:29.062 --> 00:04:29.762
  • People wanna know where's god's grace?
  • 00:04:29.829 --> 00:04:32.065
  • Where's god's grace? what you need to know is every
  • 00:04:32.131 --> 00:04:33.132
  • What you need to know is every day that you are living
  • 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:34.100
  • Day that you are living outside of god's will,
  • 00:04:34.167 --> 00:04:35.568
  • Outside of god's will, his grace is being
  • 00:04:35.635 --> 00:04:36.769
  • His grace is being extended to you.
  • 00:04:36.836 --> 00:04:38.871
  • Extended to you. god gives you time to make up
  • 00:04:38.938 --> 00:04:40.907
  • God gives you time to make up your mind but you can only push
  • 00:04:40.973 --> 00:04:42.642
  • Your mind but you can only push his patience to a point because
  • 00:04:42.709 --> 00:04:44.577
  • His patience to a point because once he sees you taking
  • 00:04:44.644 --> 00:04:45.912
  • Once he sees you taking his grace for granted,
  • 00:04:45.978 --> 00:04:48.781
  • His grace for granted, that's when
  • 00:04:48.848 --> 00:04:50.717
  • That's when the score is settled.
  • 00:04:50.783 --> 00:04:52.885
  • The score is settled. i believe in this generation,
  • 00:04:52.952 --> 00:04:54.487
  • I believe in this generation, we are testing god's patience
  • 00:04:54.554 --> 00:04:58.825
  • We are testing god's patience and we're trying to say
  • 00:04:58.891 --> 00:04:59.859
  • And we're trying to say it's not our fault.
  • 00:04:59.926 --> 00:05:02.495
  • It's not our fault. we're trying to say it's
  • 00:05:02.562 --> 00:05:03.763
  • We're trying to say it's somebody else's decision.
  • 00:05:03.830 --> 00:05:06.165
  • Somebody else's decision. god says,
  • 00:05:06.232 --> 00:05:06.733
  • God says, "you are a king,
  • 00:05:06.799 --> 00:05:07.800
  • "you are a king, you are a priest,
  • 00:05:07.867 --> 00:05:08.935

  • Over and over when you read the word,
  • 00:05:14.340 --> 00:05:15.074
  • Read the word, the bible says,
  • 00:05:15.141 --> 00:05:16.142
  • The bible says, "i am the lord

  • "i am the lord and there is none other."
  • 00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:18.378
  • And there is none other." that means that you can't
  • 00:05:18.444 --> 00:05:19.412
  • That means that you can't have many gods,
  • 00:05:19.479 --> 00:05:20.346
  • Have many gods, there's only one god.
  • 00:05:20.413 --> 00:05:22.115
  • There's only one god. "i am the one true god."
  • 00:05:22.181 --> 00:05:23.683
  • "i am the one true god." god doesn't ask
  • 00:05:23.750 --> 00:05:24.650
  • God doesn't ask us to consider him
  • 00:05:24.717 --> 00:05:26.018
  • Us to consider him as an option when
  • 00:05:26.085 --> 00:05:27.320
  • As an option when it comes to worship.
  • 00:05:27.387 --> 00:05:29.789
  • It comes to worship. he said,
  • 00:05:29.856 --> 00:05:30.189
  • He said, "i am the only one."
  • 00:05:30.256 --> 00:05:33.459
  • "i am the only one." so, what does it say in 1 kings
  • 00:05:33.526 --> 00:05:35.361
  • So, what does it say in 1 kings about the nation of judah?
  • 00:05:35.428 --> 00:05:37.363
  • About the nation of judah? it says,
  • 00:05:37.430 --> 00:05:37.764
  • It says, "and judah did more evil

  • In the sight of the lord and they provoked him
  • 00:05:41.067 --> 00:05:42.135

  • More than all that their fathers had done."
  • 00:05:47.473 --> 00:05:50.143
  • Their fathers had done." because rehoboam was
  • 00:05:50.209 --> 00:05:51.210
  • Because rehoboam was willing to allow idol worship,
  • 00:05:51.277 --> 00:05:53.079
  • Willing to allow idol worship, the entire nation followed
  • 00:05:53.146 --> 00:05:55.081
  • The entire nation followed the direction of the king
  • 00:05:55.148 --> 00:05:56.849

  • By taking in idols in their homes and in their lives.
  • 00:06:01.020 --> 00:06:04.390
  • Homes and in their lives. when you read exodus,
  • 00:06:04.457 --> 00:06:05.558
  • When you read exodus, god does not consider idol
  • 00:06:05.625 --> 00:06:07.794
  • God does not consider idol worship to be a small thing.
  • 00:06:07.860 --> 00:06:09.695
  • Worship to be a small thing. exodus 20:5,
  • 00:06:09.762 --> 00:06:11.230
  • Exodus 20:5, he says, "i am a jealous god."
  • 00:06:11.297 --> 00:06:14.100
  • He says, "i am a jealous god." why does he have
  • 00:06:14.167 --> 00:06:14.801
  • Why does he have the right to be jealous?
  • 00:06:14.867 --> 00:06:15.601
  • The right to be jealous? because he is the god
  • 00:06:15.668 --> 00:06:16.569
  • Because he is the god who created us.
  • 00:06:16.636 --> 00:06:18.704
  • Who created us. he says,
  • 00:06:18.771 --> 00:06:19.071
  • He says, "i'm a jealous god,
  • 00:06:19.138 --> 00:06:20.239
  • "i'm a jealous god, visiting iniquity
  • 00:06:20.306 --> 00:06:21.307
  • Visiting iniquity of the fathers upon the children

  • Who hate me." god does not look
  • 00:06:28.147 --> 00:06:29.248
  • God does not look at idol worship like

  • Love that god, it's because you hate me."
  • 00:06:54.807 --> 00:06:57.643
  • It's because you hate me." god doesn't take it lightly.
  • 00:06:57.710 --> 00:07:01.414
  • God doesn't take it lightly. we can't make excuses,
  • 00:07:01.481 --> 00:07:03.015
  • We can't make excuses, we can't play the blame game.
  • 00:07:03.082 --> 00:07:04.750

  • If we allow the standard in our personal lives to slip,

  • Whenever you sacrificed to the lord,
  • 00:16:07.326 --> 00:16:08.027
  • To the lord, you didn't sacrifice
  • 00:16:08.093 --> 00:16:08.660
  • You didn't sacrifice just anything,
  • 00:16:08.727 --> 00:16:09.595

  • So, when it comes to praise, it has nothing to do
  • 00:16:23.842 --> 00:16:24.576
  • It has nothing to do with how you feel,
  • 00:16:24.643 --> 00:16:25.477
  • With how you feel, it has to do with your
