1
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,320
This is living. 
Waters of Grace, the teaching 

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,920
ministry of Lewis Harold, 
assistant pastor of Calvary 

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,600
Chapel of Westmoreland County in
Greensburg, PA. 

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,520
Now here's Pastor Lewis as he 
continues teaching through God's

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:38,360
Word. 
I pray that somebody will say, 

6
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,680
you know what? 
Enough of this lying to myself, 

7
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,800
enough of this living this life 
of sin, enough of being in 

8
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,360
bondage to something that I will
never ever be able to pull 

9
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,640
myself out of. 
Freedom only comes through Jesus

10
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:02,600
Christ, Jesus says in John 8. 
He said that if the sun sets you

11
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,880
free, you will be free. 
Indeed, He's the only one that 

12
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,800
can set us free. 
Sometimes, when the struggles of

13
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,120
our daily lives become 
overwhelming, we forget that 

14
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,200
we're not alone. 
We often overlook the fact that 

15
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,880
there's someone with open arms 
who wants us to know that this 

16
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,880
battle doesn't have to be so 
hard. 

17
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,840
In today's message, Pastor Lewis
encourages you to give your life

18
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,920
to Jesus. 
Allow him to be your strong 

19
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,640
tower, your rock, your shoulder 
to lean on in the Lord of your 

20
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,880
life. 
Trust that with his guidance, 

21
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,840
you can navigate through life's 
challenges with renewed hope and

22
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,920
purpose. 
Now here's Pastor Lewis in Jude 

23
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,000
chapter one with today's edition
of Living Waters of Grace. 

24
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,640
This is the point of example. 
He delivered them all. 

25
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,880
All of them, and they all went 
into the wilderness on their 

26
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,440
way, going to the promised land.
They all did. 

27
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,040
But while they were in the 
wilderness he destroyed those 

28
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,440
who did not believe because of 
unbelief. 

29
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,600
They were judged and they were 
destroyed and because of their 

30
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,200
and it came in a lot of 
different ways. 

31
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,080
It came in rejection, it came in
rebellion, it came in sexual 

32
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,760
morality, all kind of ways of 
just not trusting the those 

33
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,280
Caleb and and Joshua, when they 
went in to spy out the land. 

34
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,920
And when they went to spy out 
the land, they came back and 

35
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:30,560
gave a report and said, look, we
can go in and take it. 

36
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,040
The other people that was there 
said, no, we can't take it 

37
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,440
because they're too much for us.
And because of their unbelief, 

38
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,320
they didn't go in. 
So the first generation of that 

39
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,560
group in Egypt, none of them 
went in besides Joshua and 

40
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,400
Caleb. 
It was their children who ended 

41
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,800
up going into the promised land.
Their children. 

42
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,720
None of them went in because 
they were judged because of 

43
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:02,880
unbelief. 
Let's not have unbelief in our 

44
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,440
hearts to miss what it is God 
wants to do for us. 

45
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,800
Even as the the centurion said 
one day, he said, look, I 

46
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,800
believe, but help my unbelief. 
And we all have some areas of 

47
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,600
unbelief, if we're honest with 
ourselves. 

48
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,600
And you find out those areas of 
unbelief whenever adversity hits

49
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,720
US and it hits US hard sometimes
and it's hard for us to believe 

50
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,840
that God will pull us out of 
this or even can pull us out of 

51
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,320
this like, oh, I'm doomed. 
This is not going to end right? 

52
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,280
And we take our eyes off of him 
and we started looking at people

53
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,040
who can help me with this. 
What can I do for myself to pull

54
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,720
myself out of this? 
Let's not be caught in unbelief.

55
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,120
And then the next example he 
uses, he uses the example of the

56
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,200
angels. 
And he said then the angels who 

57
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,200
did not keep their proper 
domain, but left their own 

58
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,760
abode, He has reserved in 
everlasting chains under 

59
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,480
darkness. 
So you went from the children of

60
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,200
Israel to now he and, and how 
they were judged because of 

61
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,600
their unbelief. 
And now he goes to the angels, 

62
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,360
these angels and, and, and what 
we have to understand is that 

63
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,880
angels have free will. 
Angels have free will and, and 

64
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:29,200
Satan himself have free will. 
And he chose to rebel against 

65
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:34,560
God, to rebelled against God. 
And because of that, he and the 

66
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,000
angels who rebelled with him, 
which was 1/3 the Bible tells us

67
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,680
we're cast out of heaven. 
We're cast out of heaven. 

68
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,200
They decided that they wanted 
their will and not God's will. 

69
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,840
They wanted to do what they 
wanted to do and not do what God

70
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,840
wanted them to do. 
Oh, they had a proper domain. 

71
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
They had a place in heaven. 
They were there, but they turned

72
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,280
away from them, turned away from
God to follow their own will, to

73
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:08,360
follow their own heart. 
And the Bible says as a result 

74
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,160
of that, He now has them 
reserved in everlasting chains 

75
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,760
under darkness for the judgment 
of the great day. 

76
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,160
Just think about that. 
Because they were looking to 

77
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,720
have a life of freedom to do 
what they wanted to do, to live 

78
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,680
their own free will and not 
surrender to the will of God. 

79
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,120
They still end up in bondage. 
They still don't have any 

80
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,880
freedom. 
They're in the darkness, chained

81
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,200
darkness because of their 
decisions to live their own life

82
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,760
the way they want to live it. 
But you know what? 

83
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:52,000
That's no different than what we
have and where we are when we 

84
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,400
lived according to our own 
desires, when we lived according

85
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,880
to our own will, and we thought 
we have, we were having freedom.

86
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,200
We were living freedom. 
Oh my, I want to do what I want 

87
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,040
to do. 
I don't want nobody giving me 

88
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,320
rules and telling me what to do.
Come in when I want to come in, 

89
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,320
go where I want to go and do 
what I want to do. 

90
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,320
We thought we had freedom, but 
we were in bondage to the very 

91
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,280
sin that we gave ourselves to. 
And today I just want to say 

92
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,000
that maybe someone can hear 
this. 

93
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,920
You know, we think it's freedom 
to live in our own free will, 

94
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:32,000
but God gives us His word that 
we obey for our protection. 

95
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,360
Obedience is for the purpose of 
our protection. 

96
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,880
That's why we want our kids to 
obey us, because it protects 

97
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,880
them. 
Because we know, we've seen, 

98
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,840
we've experienced, and we want 
to protect our kids. 

99
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:51,880
So we give them structure, we 
give them guidelines, we give 

100
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:58,000
them dare say it rules, but it's
for the purpose of protecting 

101
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,760
them. 
It's not to harm them. 

102
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,080
It's not to stop them from 
having fun. 

103
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,000
It's to protect them. 
God gives them to us, and it's 

104
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,120
when we reject that protection, 
it's when we reject His will for

105
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,520
our lives, that we find 
ourselves in bondage to the very

106
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,520
sin that we give ourselves to. 
That's what happened with these 

107
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,440
angels. 
And then in verse 7, it says 

108
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,920
that Sodom and Gomorrah and the 
cities around them, in a similar

109
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,080
manner to these, having giving 
themselves over to sexual 

110
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,880
immorality and going after 
strange flesh, are set forth as 

111
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,040
an example, suffering the 
vengeance of eternal fire. 

112
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,200
The vengeance of eternal fire. 
Very interesting. 

113
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,600
And he says that these the Sodom
and Gomorrah, Sodom and Gomorrah

114
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,440
very interesting because what 
Sodom and Gomorrah was actually 

115
00:07:54,440 --> 00:08:00,600
destroyed for was their immoral,
sexual, immoral lifestyles and 

116
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,360
their, their desire to go after 
what it calls here in in my 

117
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,760
version says strange flesh. 
Other versions may say unnatural

118
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,200
desire. 
Some may even say perversion. 

119
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:22,400
They, they, they, they sought 
perversion, strange flesh, same 

120
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,200
sex relationships and so forth. 
And you know it, it talks about 

121
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,200
it back in Leviticus. 
You know it, it gives a number 

122
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,280
of scriptures concerning God's 
attitude and his position on 

123
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:43,240
sexual immorality, particularly 
homosexuality specifically talks

124
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,840
about that. 
I'm not going to read all of 

125
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,720
those all of those scriptures, 
but I am going to read the 

126
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,400
verses because and the reason 
why is because I want you to arm

127
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,440
yourself is because there's a 
lot a lot of people in society 

128
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,440
today isn't an interesting thing
that God destroys Sodom and 

129
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,400
Gomorrah from We actually this 
country actually embraces today.

130
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:10,640
Try to normalize it and God is 
saying no, it's an abomination 

131
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,760
to me. 
Don't go in and do what the 

132
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,120
inhabitants of this land did. 
It's an abomination. 

133
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:24,840
It's sin. 
This country embraces it, even 

134
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:30,560
celebrates it and call it pride,
which is exactly what it is. 

135
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:34,400
Because they're so prideful that
they won't humble themselves. 

136
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:39,880
We're so prideful sometimes that
we don't humble ourselves before

137
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,560
the Lord. 
Thank you, thank God for grace, 

138
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:47,120
Amen. 
Because the truth is, is that 

139
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,320
even if they would turn and 
repent, if the children of 

140
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Israel would have turned and 
repented, God would have 

141
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,040
forgiven them. 
If the people in Sodom and 

142
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,200
Gomorrah would have repented, 
God would have forgiven them. 

143
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,600
He told Abraham, he said, look, 
if I find Ted, they started at 

144
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,400
50. 
He said, I'll tell you what, if 

145
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,520
I find 1010 righteous people in 
the cities of Sodom and 

146
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:17,000
Gomorrah, I won't destroy it. 
There wasn't 10 people in Sodom 

147
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,920
and Gomorrah that did not pray 
that would repent does not 

148
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,240
wasn't 10 and it was destroyed 
by fire. 

149
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,560
So I want to read these verses 
so you can have them if you want

150
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:32,000
to write them down, put them in 
your phone however you want to 

151
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,680
do it. 
But the first one is Leviticus 

152
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:38,680
chapter 18 and verse 22. 
Also in Leviticus chapter 20 and

153
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:46,920
verse 13, also in the and then 
in Romans chapter 1 and verse 26

154
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:54,960
and 27, First Timothy chapter 1 
and verse 10, and even in the 

155
00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:00,600
book of Revelations chapter 21 
and verse 8. 

156
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,880
But then there's another 
scripture that I actually want 

157
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,520
to read, this one because not 
only does it shows God's 

158
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,040
righteousness, but it also shows
His grace. 

159
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
It shows His grace. 
And this is First Corinthians 

160
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,520
chapter 6 beginning at verse 9. 
And he says this. 

161
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,880
Do you not know that the 
unrighteous will not inherit the

162
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,600
Kingdom of God? 
Do not be deceived. 

163
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:39,120
Neither fornicators, nor 
idolaters, nor adulterers. 

164
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:45,200
Here we go. 
Nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 

165
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:52,040
nor thieves, nor covetous, nor 
drunkers, nor revilers, nor 

166
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:57,000
extortioners will inherit the 
Kingdom of God. 

167
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:03,560
Cannot make it any clearer of 
what God feels about that sexual

168
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,880
and moral sin. 
Not only that one, but it's not,

169
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,960
not not only when they listed 
you listed others, but that one 

170
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,960
was listed as well. 
But this is the part that gives 

171
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,560
me hope. 
This is the part that should 

172
00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:22,080
give us all hope. 
In verse 11 he says, and such 

173
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:29,760
were some of you and search were
some of you. 

174
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,960
One of these in here captures 
some of all of us at one point. 

175
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,760
And such were some of you. 
But that's why I like the butts 

176
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,680
in the Bible. 
But you were washed. 

177
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:51,320
You were sanctified, but you 
were justified in the name of 

178
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,560
our Lord Jesus Christ and by the
Spirit of our God. 

179
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,280
So that is not a permanent 
condition for you to be a 

180
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,720
homosexual. 
I'm sorry that people feel like 

181
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,880
it is. 
It's not. 

182
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,960
You can be delivered because 
Jesus says, you know, I mean, 

183
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,080
the Bible says here and such 
were some of you. 

184
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:17,080
So he delivered them, They were 
delivered, they were washed from

185
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,760
it, they were sanctified and 
they were justified. 

186
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:24,400
That means they were declared 
righteous and that by the Spirit

187
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,680
in the name of Jesus and by the 
Spirit of our God. 

188
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:36,480
I just pray that we understand 
that God is serious about sin. 

189
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,800
He is serious about sin. 
He desires for us to obey Him, 

190
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,080
but even more important is that 
there's grace there for all of 

191
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:53,680
us, no matter what our sin is, 
no matter how long we've been 

192
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:58,080
doing the sin, no matter what 
people call you concerned ought.

193
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,600
He ain't going to never change. 
She ain't going to never change.

194
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,680
No, you can. 
God can change you. 

195
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:10,120
The Spirit of the Holy, the 
Spirit of God can come in and 

196
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:16,040
cleanse you and make you new. 
If any man be in Christ, he is a

197
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:22,760
new creature, a new creation. 
Old things are passed away. 

198
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,520
That means to die. 
They're passed away, passed 

199
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:32,040
away, mean and died and now all 
things are become new, new. 

200
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,120
It's a new you. 
And we all have that in Christ 

201
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,320
Jesus. 
And the next line says, and all 

202
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:47,120
things are of God, thank you 
Jesus, thank you Lord. 

203
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,160
But it's because of this sin 
that the day is so special. 

204
00:14:53,040 --> 00:15:00,880
Our Palm Sunday, Jude took us 
back into the history and showed

205
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:07,000
us from the Old Testament God's 
righteousness and how He will 

206
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,920
judge sin. 
He showed us that through the 

207
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,520
example of the Israelites, the 
example even of the angels, and 

208
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,320
the example also of those in 
Sodom and Gomorrah. 

209
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:25,000
And that's why it was so 
important that Jesus Christ 

210
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,120
came. 
If you ever have anybody that 

211
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,520
tell me that they don't tell 
you, they don't know the 

212
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:36,520
significance of Jesus Christ and
him coming, come here, take them

213
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,800
here. 
Because some of these sins we're

214
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,880
still doing today. 
All these sins we're still doing

215
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,640
today, we're still rejecting 
them. 

216
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,160
We're still living in sexual 
immorality. 

217
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,400
We're still dealing with 
unbelief, but Jesus Christ came 

218
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,800
so that we be forgiven of our 
sins and the hostility that we 

219
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,560
had against God the Father, it's
now we now have peace with him 

220
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,520
because of Jesus Christ. 
Bible says back in the book of 

221
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:12,360
Luke and also in the book of 
Matthew, when he talked about 

222
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,440
the triumphant entry and when he
talked about the triumphant 

223
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,920
injury. 
We, we, you know, we're talking 

224
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:24,880
about Jesus Christ who told the 
disciples that day to go on in 

225
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,400
to Jerusalem when they got to 
Beth Fetch. 

226
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,000
It's going to go over to the 
city or over or to the village 

227
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,960
next to you and I want you to 
find a coat. 

228
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,280
There's a coat that's going to 
be tied there. 

229
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,240
The coat or the the, the the 
foal of a donkey. 

230
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,800
No one's ever ridden on this 
thing. 

231
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,840
I want you to go bring it to me.
They said, wait a minute, we 

232
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,640
can't go and take somebody's 
donkey. 

233
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,080
It's just like you or use 
Clark's example. 

234
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,080
You out there looking at his 
car, you get ready to take his 

235
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,280
car. 
He come out and say, hey, what 

236
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,680
are you trying to do with my 
car? 

237
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,240
That's what they were asked, 
just what Jesus was telling them

238
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,119
to do. 
But see, what they didn't 

239
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,200
understand is that Jesus had 
already worked in the heart of 

240
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,720
the owner of that donkey. 
So he said, no, go ahead and 

241
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,480
tell them if anybody asks you 
why are you taking that donkey, 

242
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:26,480
you tell them that the Lord has 
need of it. 

243
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,640
Now, I don't know if that's 
going to work with Clark's car. 

244
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,800
So, so don't y'all go out there 
and car his car trying to get in

245
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,200
his car and then say, hey, the 
Lord got need of it because you 

246
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,400
want to take it on Route 30 and 
see what it can do. 

247
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,800
But Jesus had already worked 
into the heart of the owner of 

248
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,440
that donkey and said the Lord 
has need of it. 

249
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,400
He brought the donkey back to 
Jesus. 

250
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,040
They put the coats on the back 
of the donkey. 

251
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,880
They set Jesus on the donkey and
as they're bringing him down as 

252
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,640
they can, that that descent that
goes into Jerusalem. 

253
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,720
When the people finally get a 
chance to look up and see Jesus 

254
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:17,720
coming on that donkey, the Bible
says they begin to shout, they 

255
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,680
begin to holler out. 
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the

256
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,160
highest. 
Save, save us, save me in the 

257
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,640
highest. 
Jesus comes down and he's riding

258
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,320
on that donkey. 
And not once did he tell any of 

259
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,240
them to not worship him. 
That time he didn't say, no, 

260
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:43,560
don't tell anybody because he 
was presenting himself as the 

261
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,800
king. 
He was presenting himself as the

262
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,760
true Messiah. 
David Holland out and said, Son 

263
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,880
of David, which means that you 
are the Messiah because we heard

264
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,880
about you back in Zechariah. 
The prophet Zechariah told us 

265
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,800
that the son of David will come 
and he's going to be riding on 

266
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:07,160
his coat as he's a king. 
That's you, son of David. 

267
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,640
He's coming down this hill and 
the people were seeing him and 

268
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,880
they're crying out, but 
unfortunately they're crying out

269
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,520
because they're thinking that 
he's coming to save them from 

270
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,120
the Roman rule that he's coming 
to start a revolt against the 

271
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:26,640
Roman government. 
They didn't realize that he was 

272
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,120
coming in to save them from so 
much more. 

273
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:33,240
He was coming to bring them 
eternal life. 

274
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,760
And they're yelling hosanna, 
Hosanna in the highest. 

275
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,440
He's the king and the and the 
Pharisees are saying rebuke your

276
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,640
disciples. 
You hear what they're saying. 

277
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,960
They're calling you king. 
They're calling you son of 

278
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,560
David. 
That means they're saying that 

279
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,240
you're the Messiah, the son of 
the living God. 

280
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:54,440
And Jesus just simply said, 
look, if I if these keep solid, 

281
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,720
the very rocks will cry out. 
All of his creation worships 

282
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,440
him. 
So he's come in and they're 

283
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,000
waving palm branches and they're
celebrating him. 

284
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,600
He knew even his disciples 
didn't know or understand, but 

285
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,560
he knew then in about 5 or 6 
days that many of those same 

286
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,880
people who are crying out 
Hosanna who are calling him 

287
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,600
king. 
Who are praising Him and 

288
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,560
worshipping Him? 
Many of those same people will 

289
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,320
be crying out, Crucify Him, 
crucify him. 

290
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:39,080
But He did it. 
He presented himself as a lamb 

291
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,600
going to the slaughter that day.
He presented himself as King. 

292
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,680
He knew what would happen, but 
He did it for you. 

293
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,520
He did it for you. 
He did it for you and you. 

294
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,160
He did it for me. 
He never turned back. 

295
00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:59,400
And then of course, next Sunday 
we'll talk a little bit about 

296
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,240
that cross. 
But I'm grateful today. 

297
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,320
Praise and worship, take and 
come forward, please. 

298
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,920
But I'm grateful today that 
Jesus Christ came. 

299
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,840
Bible says over in the book of 
Mark that even the Son of Man 

300
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:19,400
did not come to be served, but 
to serve and to give his life a 

301
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,560
ransom for many. 
I'm one of those many. 

302
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,120
Bible tells us that He came to 
seek and save that which is lost

303
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:35,120
and that it's not his will that 
any should perish, but all will 

304
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:40,760
come into repentance. 
I thank God for that because I 

305
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,800
was a loss. 
I am the lost. 

306
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:51,840
But now I'm found and I pray 
today that the message reached 

307
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,640
someone's heart. 
I pray that somebody will say, 

308
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,920
you know what? 
Enough of this lying to myself, 

309
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:05,000
enough of this living this life 
of sin, enough of being in 

310
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,480
bondage to something that I will
never ever be able to pull 

311
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,760
myself out of. 
Freedom only comes through Jesus

312
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,120
Christ. 
Jesus says in John 8, He said 

313
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:22,000
that if the sun sets you free, 
you will be free. 

314
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,720
Indeed, He's the only one that 
can set us free. 

315
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:32,320
So I pray today that somebody 
receives His salvation, that 

316
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,720
somebody understands that it was
because of the sin of those 

317
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,520
examples and the sin that we do 
today that He had to come. 

318
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:47,040
We need a Savior, we need a 
Savior, and Jesus Christ is that

319
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,560
Savior. 
He is the way, He is the truth, 

320
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,720
and He is the life. 
He is that Savior. 

321
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,040
Nobody comes to God except 
through Him. 

322
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,880
He is that Savior. 
So we need to come to Him. 

323
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,680
I pray to somebody does that. 
You can just tell. 

324
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,600
Lord, look, I confess, I am a 
Sinner and I am in need of a 

325
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,760
Savior. 
You could just tell Him that you

326
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,640
believe that He died for your 
sins. 

327
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,160
You believe that he was buried 
in, that he rose again on the 

328
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,800
third day and asking for 
forgiveness for your sins and to

329
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,200
be your savior and to come into 
your heart and teach you, show 

330
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,800
you, lead you in how to live the
Christian life. 

331
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,880
You won't see stars. 
You won't see any kind of big 

332
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,640
meteors in the sky or hear 
fireworks go off. 

333
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,680
You don't hear any of that, but 
in your soul, the Bible says 

334
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,320
when you believe that the Spirit
of the Son of God comes to live 

335
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:55,120
in your heart and He will change
you, He will change you. 

336
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,160
This has been Living Waters of 
Grace, a ministry of Calvary 

337
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,440
Chapel, Westmoreland in 
Greensburg, PA Pastor Lewis 

338
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,400
Harrell has been teaching 
through the book of Jude. 

339
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,480
This is a book of warning as the
audience that Jude was writing 

340
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,800
to was coming under attack from 
false teachers. 

341
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,920
Even in the early days of the 
church, there were teachers who 

342
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,360
claimed to have a unique 
revelation from God that 

343
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:25,840
superseded Scripture. 
Pastor Lewis wants you to be 

344
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,880
sure to be on your guard against
those teachers today as they 

345
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,680
will try to distract you from 
following the way of Jesus. 

346
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:39,120
By focusing on what God's Word 
says, you can call out false 

347
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:42,600
teachers for what they are and 
stay on the good path. 

348
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,880
