♪♪♪
00:00:01.513 --> 00:00:06.385
There is no person that god cannot save!
00:00:06.385 --> 00:00:11.290
There is no promise that god will not keep!
00:00:12.191 --> 00:00:17.229
There is nothing that our god cannot do!
00:00:18.097 --> 00:00:38.550
This is the beginning of something i believe is going to
00:00:39.651 --> 00:00:43.021
Be epic and that is a message series on person and work of
00:00:43.021 --> 00:00:48.060
Jesus christ. we're calling it tell me the story of jesus.
00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:55.200
Something does happen at the very mention of his name. the
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.204
Atmosphere changes; everything changes at the very mention of
00:00:59.204 --> 00:01:05.210
His name.
00:01:05.210 --> 00:01:07.312
I've been knowing this name- jesus- since i've known my own
00:01:07.312 --> 00:01:12.417
Name. and i'm so very grateful for parents and family who
00:01:12.417 --> 00:01:18.023
Taught me early-on, who whispered in my ear the name of
00:01:18.023 --> 00:01:21.660
Jesus, who sang the songs of faith... "jesus loves me; this
00:01:21.660 --> 00:01:25.164
I know for the bible tells me so." so throughout my life i've
00:01:25.164 --> 00:01:30.636
Been hearing the story of jesus.
00:01:30.636 --> 00:01:32.838
Like some of you. you're blessed if someone shared the
00:01:32.838 --> 00:01:38.310
Name of jesus with you early in your life and you came to
00:01:38.310 --> 00:01:40.812
Follow jesus as a child. some of you met jesus as a teenager
00:01:40.812 --> 00:01:45.050
Or a university student, or a young adult; and you've been
00:01:45.050 --> 00:01:48.820
Discovering since that day the power of christ in your life.
00:01:48.820 --> 00:01:53.158
Some of you came to jesus later in life and you're doing a ...
00:01:53.158 --> 00:01:56.862
A little bit of catch-up perhaps of the story of jesus.
00:01:56.862 --> 00:02:01.500
The title of this very first and introductory message to the
00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:04.469
Series is “the name that is above all names”. and, of
00:02:04.469 --> 00:02:09.541
Course, that's taken from matthew chapter 1, and i want
00:02:09.541 --> 00:02:13.011
You to see verses 21 to 23 because we meet jesus in the
00:02:13.011 --> 00:02:19.918
Gospels 9 months before he was born. the holy spirit
00:02:19.918 --> 00:02:23.956
Overshadowed mary, she conceived, and joseph her
00:02:23.956 --> 00:02:28.694
Espoused husband, her husband-to-be was stunned by
00:02:28.694 --> 00:02:33.031
This news that she was expecting a child. what was he
00:02:33.031 --> 00:02:35.734
To do? an angel appeared and gave him this word. verse 21,
00:02:35.734 --> 00:02:41.640
Matthew 1 and following:
00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:43.008
21) she will bear a son, and you shall call his name (say
00:02:43.008 --> 00:02:46.311
It) jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22)
00:02:46.311 --> 00:02:52.484
And all this took place to fulfill what the lord had
00:02:52.484 --> 00:02:55.020
Spoken by the prophet: 23) “behold, the virgin will
00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:58.290
Conceive and bear a son, and ye shall call his name immanuel
00:02:58.290 --> 00:03:04.830
(which means, god with us).
00:03:04.830 --> 00:03:08.433
And so the child was born and the scripture says joseph
00:03:08.433 --> 00:03:12.004
Called him jesus. mary and joseph... the parents, the
00:03:12.004 --> 00:03:17.643
First to hear that name.
00:03:17.643 --> 00:03:21.079
That name is a hebrew name. actually, a common name in the
00:03:21.079 --> 00:03:24.683
Old testament as well as the new testament. joshua or yeshua
00:03:24.683 --> 00:03:30.689
Which means "jehovah saves... yahweh saves... god saves." so
00:03:30.689 --> 00:03:36.828
It is clear that in the very name of jesus is the nature of
00:03:36.828 --> 00:03:41.266
Jesus and the mission of jesus who came to seek and to save
00:03:41.266 --> 00:03:45.304
The lost. "he will save his people from their sin." he came
00:03:45.304 --> 00:03:50.342
To forgive us and to set us free from the power of sin and
00:03:50.342 --> 00:03:54.846
Death and hell. and so it's jesus, whose name is above
00:03:54.846 --> 00:04:00.218
Every name.
00:04:00.218 --> 00:04:01.453
The great theologian and missionary, the apostle paul
00:04:01.453 --> 00:04:04.523
Said it in philippians chapter 2, “that at the name of jesus
00:04:04.523 --> 00:04:07.526
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that jesus
00:04:07.526 --> 00:04:10.962
Christ is lord, to the glory of god.” wonderful name! powerful
00:04:10.962 --> 00:04:17.602
Name! beautiful name of jesus! what is there so special and
00:04:17.602 --> 00:04:24.176
Supernatural about this name?
00:04:24.176 --> 00:04:28.980
John blanchard who is an apologist for the christian
00:04:28.980 --> 00:04:32.084
Faith suggests that there are about 60 billion... 70 billion
00:04:32.084 --> 00:04:36.755
Maybe, we don't know exactly people who have lived since the
00:04:36.755 --> 00:04:40.292
Dawn of human history. billions and billions of people who have
00:04:40.292 --> 00:04:45.063
Lived. and of the 50-60 billion people who have lived on the
00:04:45.063 --> 00:04:49.634
Face of the earth, there's just a handful of people who have
00:04:49.634 --> 00:04:53.271
Really made a mark... really made a difference... really
00:04:53.271 --> 00:04:55.741
Changed history. just a handful. and among those who
00:04:55.741 --> 00:04:58.977
Are just a handful, jesus stands above all. his name is
00:04:58.977 --> 00:05:04.282
The most quoted name in history. if you're interested
00:05:04.282 --> 00:05:07.452
In knowing what the other nine on the list were, that the
00:05:07.452 --> 00:05:10.655
People came up with... ah...: napoleon bonapart, william
00:05:10.655 --> 00:05:13.058
Shakespeare, mohammad, abraham lincoln, george washington,
00:05:13.058 --> 00:05:17.462
Adolph hitler, aristotle, alexander the great, thomas
00:05:17.462 --> 00:05:22.200
Jefferson and maybe you could add to the list... the great
00:05:22.200 --> 00:05:25.771
People in history.
00:05:25.771 --> 00:05:27.839
But here's the point that i want you to know and make
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.675
Today. you can't include jesus on any other list of human
00:05:30.675 --> 00:05:36.281
Beings! because jesus christ is not just a good man, even a
00:05:36.281 --> 00:05:43.088
Great man or the greatest man: he is the god-man! [amen!] he
00:05:43.088 --> 00:05:51.496
Is the god of heaven and earth! he is the lord of life!
00:05:51.496 --> 00:05:56.968
What is it about jesus of nazareth that sets him apart
00:05:56.968 --> 00:06:03.275
From everyone else so that he is the incomparable christ? you
00:06:03.275 --> 00:06:09.181
Can't compare him to anyone. what about it because when you
00:06:09.181 --> 00:06:13.885
Think about it, he never traveled but a few miles from
00:06:13.885 --> 00:06:18.690
His own hometown, never left the country except when his
00:06:18.690 --> 00:06:22.027
Parents in an interlude took him over to egypt for a few
00:06:22.027 --> 00:06:25.497
Years and then brought him back. he never traveled very
00:06:25.497 --> 00:06:29.301
Far; just a few miles from this hometown of nazareth, and yet
00:06:29.301 --> 00:06:34.606
His name has traveled to the ends of the earth! his
00:06:34.606 --> 00:06:38.210
Message... the story of jesus is everywhere on planet earth;
00:06:38.210 --> 00:06:43.148
Virtually everyone on the earth can now know his name.
00:06:43.148 --> 00:06:47.652
All the books in the world that contain...
00:06:47.652 --> 00:06:50.121
The libraries in the world that
00:06:50.121 --> 00:06:52.557
Scrutinize jesus, some who criticize jesus, who speak of
00:06:52.557 --> 00:06:55.594
Jesus, who theologize and eulogize jesus... all these
00:06:55.594 --> 00:06:59.764
Books of the world. he never wrote one and yet there's been
00:06:59.764 --> 00:07:02.868
More written about jesus christ than any person in history!
00:07:02.868 --> 00:07:07.572
He was a carpenter's son on earth. grew up in his earthly
00:07:07.572 --> 00:07:13.144
Father joseph's home and carpenter shop. he had no
00:07:13.144 --> 00:07:16.848
Formal education. his little town of nazareth ... kind of
00:07:16.848 --> 00:07:21.353
A... kind of a funky little town. oppressed by the romans
00:07:21.353 --> 00:07:26.558
In that day. it was a wild town in many ways. at the time of
00:07:26.558 --> 00:07:31.062
Jesus there would have been 4-500 people living in his
00:07:31.062 --> 00:07:34.766
Hometown. just a few people.
00:07:34.766 --> 00:07:40.071
I preached one of my first revivals as a young preacher at
00:07:40.071 --> 00:07:44.242
Pickle's gap, arkansas, [laughter] near the toad suck
00:07:44.242 --> 00:07:50.649
Ferry right outside of conway. i mean, a little town. so jesus
00:07:50.649 --> 00:07:57.822
Is from pickle's gap. he's from nazareth, this little hick
00:07:57.822 --> 00:08:04.629
Town. and yet... and yet he is known throughout the centuries
00:08:04.629 --> 00:08:12.537
And throughout history.
00:08:12.537 --> 00:08:15.907
His own people wanted to kill him. people who lived in
00:08:15.907 --> 00:08:19.978
Nazareth. at his inaugural message in the synagogue there
00:08:19.978 --> 00:08:24.816
In nazareth they heard him claim his deity and his
00:08:24.816 --> 00:08:30.255
Messianic ministry and mission, and they took him to the edge
00:08:30.255 --> 00:08:33.458
Of town and were about to throw him over a cliff when he just
00:08:33.458 --> 00:08:37.162
Walked right through them and passed right through them. many
00:08:37.162 --> 00:08:40.699
People have tried to destroy jesus and take him out but you
00:08:40.699 --> 00:08:45.403
Can't stop what god has started.
00:08:45.403 --> 00:08:48.740
What god does in jesus christ.
00:08:48.740 --> 00:08:52.711
Most of what is recorded in the gospels is
00:08:52.711 --> 00:08:55.747
His 3-year ministry on earth. and of the 3-year ministry of
00:08:55.747 --> 00:09:02.020
Jesus recorded in the gospels... something you may
00:09:02.020 --> 00:09:05.557
Not have thought about but there are only parts of 26 days
00:09:05.557 --> 00:09:11.096
In the life of jesus recorded in the gospels, the
00:09:11.096 --> 00:09:14.399
Eyewitnesses. twenty-six days. part of 26 days. yet in 26 days
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:22.741
Or less jesus changed the world. what is it about this
00:09:22.741 --> 00:09:32.651
Special... this supernatural name?
00:09:32.651 --> 00:09:37.322
He never started an educational institution or a seminary or a
00:09:37.322 --> 00:09:41.559
Synagogue; he started a church and the world has heard the
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.463
Message of jesus. he's the most important person. he has been
00:09:45.463 --> 00:09:49.734
Studied, he has been analyzed, he has been talked about more
00:09:49.734 --> 00:09:56.241
Than anyone on earth. and why is this? why is this that has
00:09:56.241 --> 00:10:02.814
Happened? who is this one? that's what we're going to be
00:10:02.814 --> 00:10:08.687
Talking about week after week. why is he so unique and
00:10:08.687 --> 00:10:15.260
Compelling? why jesus?
00:10:15.260 --> 00:10:18.463

00:10:18.463 --> 00:10:28.540

00:11:55.260 --> 00:12:00.465
First, the name of jesus. i told you it means jehovah
00:12:00.465 --> 00:12:05.003
Saves. our god saves. there are actually in the bible many
00:12:05.003 --> 00:12:11.409
Names that describe jesus because one name could not
00:12:11.409 --> 00:12:14.712
Describe him. my friend robert morgan the author did a study.
00:12:14.712 --> 00:12:20.051
He scanned all the scriptures from beginning to end, looking
00:12:20.051 --> 00:12:23.922
For the names of jesus. the names, the illustrations, the
00:12:23.922 --> 00:12:27.392
Appellatives, the descriptions, the titles of jesus and he came
00:12:27.392 --> 00:12:31.529
Up with over 350 names describing jesus, because no
00:12:31.529 --> 00:12:38.937
One name can describe the infinite god-man, the lord
00:12:38.937 --> 00:12:42.307
Jesus christ. but his name embodies his nature, and
00:12:42.307 --> 00:12:46.845
Therefore, his mission. our god saves. he came to seek and to
00:12:46.845 --> 00:12:51.015
Save the lost. and it is that name that we proclaim. the name
00:12:51.015 --> 00:12:57.355
That was given to him by god the father. and it's that name
00:12:57.355 --> 00:13:02.861
In which there is power and there is prayer and there is
00:13:02.861 --> 00:13:04.696
Presence and there is authority.
00:13:04.696 --> 00:13:10.668
It's all in the name of jesus!
00:13:10.668 --> 00:13:14.005
The great hymn writer and pastor john newton put it this
00:13:14.005 --> 00:13:16.908
Way: "how sweet the name of jesus sounds in a believer's
00:13:16.908 --> 00:13:20.478
Ear; /it soothes his sorrows, heals is wounds and drives away
00:13:20.478 --> 00:13:25.583
His fears." how many have cried out to that name in times of
00:13:25.583 --> 00:13:31.689
Fear and death and sorrow and grief? it is that name in which
00:13:31.689 --> 00:13:35.460
There is power and there is healing. it is all in the name
00:13:35.460 --> 00:13:38.897
Of jesus! his name is for everyone. you can't limit him
00:13:38.897 --> 00:13:46.871
With language or... or socio-eco... i mean jesus is
00:13:46.871 --> 00:13:50.775
For everyone. his name to the ends of the earth! his name
00:13:50.775 --> 00:13:57.015
Is... is not for one group or one race or one kind of

[strike] about [strike his [strike] name [strike]!
00:16:22.593 --> 00:16:25.363
[cheers, applause] the name of jesus! yes!
00:16:25.363 --> 00:16:35.606
No wonder then we can speak of his fame. because of his name,
00:16:36.808 --> 00:16:43.981
His fame; because of who he was. jesus of nazareth. in luke
00:16:43.981 --> 00:16:47.251
Chapter 18, verse 37, jesus of nazareth was passing by... he
00:16:47.251 --> 00:16:53.858
Was just passing through one of those small villages around the
00:16:53.858 --> 00:16:56.527
Sea of galilee, and the crowds would gather. some rejected
00:16:56.527 --> 00:17:03.201
Him, his own rejected him. but the common people heard him
00:17:03.201 --> 00:17:05.837
Gladly. multitudes gathered. miracles were performed. lives
00:17:05.837 --> 00:17:12.743
Were changed and his fame grew and grew and grew. just a boy,
00:17:12.743 --> 00:17:19.917
Born in bethlehem, raised in nazareth. how odd of god to do
00:17:19.917 --> 00:17:28.126
It this way!
00:17:28.126 --> 00:17:32.263
He lived a perfect life. he spoke like no one else has ever
00:17:32.263 --> 00:17:37.668
Spoken, words that... you know, jesus was not just a teacher
00:17:37.668 --> 00:17:42.974
Who came from god; he was god who came to teach. and the
00:17:42.974 --> 00:17:47.378
Crowds began to follow him and they listened and they hung on
00:17:47.378 --> 00:17:50.114
Every word. they experienced his holy presence. and his fame
00:17:50.114 --> 00:17:54.652
Spread from the little towns around the galilee to the city
00:17:54.652 --> 00:17:59.090
Of jerusalem and all the way to the temple, and ultimately to
00:17:59.090 --> 00:18:02.927
The ends of the earth. just a small band of believers and
00:18:02.927 --> 00:18:05.730
Followers and eye witnesses to his resurrection took the
00:18:05.730 --> 00:18:09.767
Message of jesus to the ends of the earth.
00:18:09.767 --> 00:18:12.837
His fame is unparalleled to the degree that on this day one
00:18:12.837 --> 00:18:18.709
Third of the world's population believe in jesus christ and
00:18:18.709 --> 00:18:23.648
Confess him, and profess him as savior. millions will tell you
00:18:23.648 --> 00:18:30.254
From every background of life that jesus changed my life.
00:18:30.254 --> 00:18:39.397
That's his fame.
00:18:39.397 --> 00:18:42.366
Many have predicted the death of christianity through the
00:18:42.366 --> 00:18:44.802
Centuries. they thought they took his life; he gave his life.
00:18:44.802 --> 00:18:52.810
They put him in that tomb and said it's over. it wasn't over.
00:18:52.810 --> 00:18:58.749
And here's why we still speak his name. this is the reason
00:18:58.749 --> 00:19:06.290
For his fame, forever fame. he came out of the grave. and the
00:19:06.290 --> 00:19:17.702
Message of jesus is that "because i live, you will live
00:19:17.702 --> 00:19:22.039
Also." and because he lived and because he lives... he lived
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:31.549
And he lives! if jesus was still in that grave, you would
00:19:31.549 --> 00:19:35.519
Have never heard of him. he would have been gone forever;
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:40.591
Just another one. but jesus came out the grave and we know
00:19:40.591 --> 00:19:46.797
His name because it is true... he is the inescapable christ.
00:19:46.797 --> 00:19:52.937
He is the one and the only one who can be your savior.
00:19:52.937 --> 00:19:58.242
Larry king, the great interviewer was being
00:19:58.242 --> 00:20:01.779
Interviewed by bryan gumbel, and they asked larry king...
00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:07.852
Gumbel asked larry king who... who is jewish, was jewish, "if
00:20:07.852 --> 00:20:13.057
You had one question that you could ask god, what would you
00:20:13.057 --> 00:20:19.030
Ask?" and larry king said, "i would ask him if he had a son."
00:20:19.030 --> 00:20:27.271
Good question. the question.
00:20:27.271 --> 00:20:30.775
Jesus asked it. “who do men say that i am?” jesus took on the
00:20:30.775 --> 00:20:37.381
Names of god. the great i am. what were his claims? he
00:20:37.381 --> 00:20:42.887
Claimed to forgive sins. only god can forgive sin. he claimed
00:20:42.887 --> 00:20:48.392
That god had given him all authority in heaven and in
00:20:48.392 --> 00:20:51.062
Earth. jesus claimed that “if you have seen me, you have seen
00:20:51.062 --> 00:20:56.934
The father.” jesus claimed that “i am the light of the world,”
00:20:56.934 --> 00:21:02.073
And if you reject me, you will walk in darkness and judgment.”
00:21:02.073 --> 00:21:08.679
Jesus claimed that “if you do not believe me and follow me
00:21:08.679 --> 00:21:13.984
That you will die in your sins.” quite a claim, isn't it?
00:21:13.984 --> 00:21:20.691
He said he came down from heaven as “the bread of life.”
00:21:20.691 --> 00:21:28.032
He claimed, “i am the resurrection and the life. he
00:21:28.032 --> 00:21:31.736
That believes in me, though he be dead, yet shall he live.”
00:21:31.736 --> 00:21:35.706
Jesus claimed (john 14:10) “i am the way, the truth, the life
00:21:35.706 --> 00:21:39.143
And no man comes to the father except by me.” jesus said, “i
00:21:39.143 --> 00:21:45.983
Will judge the nations” in matthew 25, and determine the
00:21:45.983 --> 00:21:50.988
Eternal destiny of billions of people. quite a claim.
00:21:50.988 --> 00:22:02.066
He experienced and accepted worship as god. for example,
00:22:02.066 --> 00:22:07.605
When thomas after the resurrection, said “my lord and
00:22:07.605 --> 00:22:11.475
My god.” and jesus accepted it. he didn't say, “no, don't say
00:22:11.475 --> 00:22:14.211
That, don't say that.” he accepted the skeptics
00:22:14.211 --> 00:22:19.750
Confession, doubting thomas's great confession of faith. i
00:22:19.750 --> 00:22:24.255
Think thomas sometimes gets a bad rap. i think he was just a
00:22:24.255 --> 00:22:28.025
Man with some questions and he wasn't afraid to look for the
00:22:28.025 --> 00:22:31.996
Answer. jesus claimed that “heaven and earth with pass
00:22:31.996 --> 00:22:37.735
Away, but my word will never pass away.” all authority in
00:22:37.735 --> 00:22:48.479
Heaven and earth is given to me.
00:22:48.479 --> 00:22:53.984
Now, you have a decision to make. is he right or wrong in
00:22:53.984 --> 00:23:00.191
What he named and what he claimed? when he said he was
00:23:00.191 --> 00:23:04.061
Jesus christ are you who they say you are? yes, indeed. yes,
00:23:04.061 --> 00:23:16.106
Indeed. and the reason that jesus deserves and demands our
00:23:16.106 --> 00:23:22.780
Full allegiance, therefore, and obedience is because he is
00:23:22.780 --> 00:23:26.150
Preeminent. doesn't want a place in our lives, prominence
00:23:26.150 --> 00:23:31.856
In our lives, but preeminence and obedience in each of us.
00:23:31.856 --> 00:23:37.394
How are you going to know god? you say, "i want to know god.
00:23:37.394 --> 00:23:45.302
If there's a god, how can i know him?" not by religion; not
00:23:45.302 --> 00:23:50.441
By reason, though our faith is a reasonable faith with
00:23:50.441 --> 00:24:01.085
Evidence... but not by reason. not by the rules of human
00:24:01.085 --> 00:24:09.493
Effort and self-discipline. not by rules, not by religion, not
00:24:09.493 --> 00:24:20.137
By reason! how will we know god? by revelation! and the
00:24:20.137 --> 00:24:26.677
Revelation is jesus christ!
00:24:26.677 --> 00:24:30.881
John put it this way: “in the beginning was the word (the
00:24:30.881 --> 00:24:34.051
Revelation), and the word was with god, and the word was god,
00:24:34.051 --> 00:24:37.621
And the same was in the beginning with god. and all
00:24:37.621 --> 00:24:39.857
Things were made by him. without him was not made
00:24:39.857 --> 00:24:42.927
Anything, that was made. in him was life and that life was the
00:24:42.927 --> 00:24:48.032
Light of men.” his revelation. jesus is the revelation of god
00:24:48.032 --> 00:24:55.906
And that's how you know him.
00:24:55.906 --> 00:24:59.343
So the question then that we all have... jesus answers the
00:24:59.343 --> 00:25:02.613
Question who am i. but we have another question. it was the
00:25:02.613 --> 00:25:05.883
Question raised by pontius pilate at the trial of jesus.
00:25:05.883 --> 00:25:10.354
And he said, "what will you do with jesus who is called the
00:25:10.354 --> 00:25:16.694
Christ?"
00:25:16.694 --> 00:25:18.495
Will you accept him or reject
00:25:18.495 --> 00:25:20.230
Him? will you say yes to him who calls you and follow him
00:25:20.230 --> 00:25:24.435
All the days of your life? will you give him the proper place
00:25:24.435 --> 00:25:29.006
Of preeminence and lordship in your life? what right does
00:25:29.006 --> 00:25:31.775
Anyone have to call themselves a christian if jesus is not
00:25:31.775 --> 00:25:36.981
Lord of their life? so is jesus christ your
00:25:36.981 --> 00:25:42.453
Lord? have you confessed him as your savior and your lord?
00:25:42.453 --> 00:25:45.356
