00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,400
Thanks for checking out the 
anchor Faith, Message podcast 

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:09,800
from st. 
Augustine Florida. 

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:25,100
Now, enjoy this message. 
Father we just magnify your 

4
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:30,000
name, we thank you that. 
The king is born Lord we thank 

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,700
you today as we take time to go 
through the scripture and remind

6
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:41,100
ourselves of the reason for the 
season that Jesus did come to 

7
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:46,500
save us and he is savior of the 
world, but the Earth was waiting

8
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:51,600
for the king and father may we 
recognize that the king was born

9
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,100
today. 
In a town called Bethlehem and 

10
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:57,600
we honor and praise you for it. 
In Jesus name. 

11
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,300
Amen. 
You can be seated, there's much 

12
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:07,300
to say about the birth of Jesus.
And as I was taking some time to

13
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:11,800
book was given to me this 
morning by Rick Renner. 

14
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:20,900
It speaks of The backstory of 
what we call Christmas and 

15
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:25,100
there's another gentleman that's
in Australia that took time to 

16
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:32,000
do a study on how much the wise 
men actually brought to Jesus. 

17
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:35,500
That between them and our Greek 
scholar Rick. 

18
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:39,900
Renner, there's really much to 
say concerning Christmas that's 

19
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:45,600
been lost. 
The commercialization of this 

20
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,200
holiday has caused the truth 
about Jesus, to be suppressed so

21
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,800
much so that most of its context
is in error. 

22
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,100
But it would take more than one 
service for up to be able to 

23
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:08,100
right those wrongs and as I was 
reading through, I said, Lord, I

24
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:11,800
should take time next year. 
Beginning in December to really 

25
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,900
dissect. 
What it what this Monumental 

26
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:24,100
event was for all of humanity, 
because the minute we take today

27
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,400
and only view it through a Where
is born? 

28
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:33,300
Then we lose a lot of its 
meaning. 

29
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:41,300
Instead of a king is born, now a
savior is born but it came was 

30
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:45,000
born and there's way more 
emphasis on his kingship. 

31
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:50,000
Than what he ultimately does to 
save us. 

32
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,500
And so next year, we're going to
take some time to do just that. 

33
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:58,200
But today, I want to take some 
time to just read. 

34
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,400
I think it's important for us as
a family. 

35
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,800
When I say family, I'm talking 
Grandma's. 

36
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:09,400
Grandpa's moms dads and our 
children that there's a 

37
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,800
tradition that the Lord had 
since the fall of Man that they 

38
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,500
put in remembrance and we must 
never undermined or under 

39
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:22,700
appreciate just the reading of 
the The word for the word is 

40
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:26,700
life. 
Its life and so I'm going to 

41
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:31,700
navigate through some prophecies
that are in connection to the 

42
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:35,200
gospel accounts of the birth of 
our King. 

43
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:39,100
And I'm just going to take time 
just to read so that we can see 

44
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:44,100
the context of today. 
And again, when I look out and 

45
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:48,700
our service today, many of you 
just could have stayed home But 

46
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:52,900
you came because you realize the
importance of what this is 

47
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:58,100
about. 
And I appreciate that. 

48
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:03,300
And Isaiah 9:2, a says, the 
people who walked in darkness 

49
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:08,200
will see a great light, those 
who live in a dark land, the 

50
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:14,600
light will shine on them. 
Isaiah also prophesied in 

51
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,100
chapter 40 verse 5. 
He says then the glory of the 

52
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:21,899
Lord will be revealed and All 
Flesh will see it together for 

53
00:04:21,899 --> 00:04:24,200
the mouth of the Lord has 
spoken. 

54
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Where did he speak this? 
Originally, it was in Genesis 

55
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,100
chapter 3 after Man fell from 
Dominion. 

56
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,400
The Lord told the serpent. 
I'm bringing my seed and he's 

57
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,600
going to crush your head. 
Why does the seed? 

58
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:46,200
Come John 3:16 for God. 
So loved the world that he gave 

59
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,100
his only begotten son. 
God is the chief Giver. 

60
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:58,900
And gives the greatest gifts, 
Isaiah prophesied and 7:14. 

61
00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:02,600
Therefore the Lord himself will 
give you a saint and behold a 

62
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,300
virgin will be with child and 
bear a son and we shall call his

63
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:11,500
name Immanuel into chapters 
later. 

64
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:15,800
He says concerning this child. 
He says for a child will be born

65
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,900
to us. 
A son will be given and the 

66
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:21,600
government will rest on his 
shoulders and his name. 

67
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:25,100
I'm will be called, wonderful, 
counselor, Mighty God. 

68
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:28,800
Eternal Father Prince of Peace. 
They'll be no end to the 

69
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,100
increase of his government or of
Peace on the throne of David or 

70
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:37,000
over his kingdom to establish 
and to uphold it with Justice 

71
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,500
and righteousness from then on 
and forever. 

72
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:45,300
More the Zeal of the Lord of 
hosts will accomplish this in 

73
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:47,500
Luke chapter 1 starting in verse
26. 

74
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:51,400
It says now in the sixth month, 
the angel Gabriel sent from God 

75
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,900
to a City in Galilee called 
Nazareth to a virgin engaged to 

76
00:05:55,908 --> 00:06:00,200
a man whose name was Joseph of 
the descendants of David. 

77
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,000
And the virgin's name was Mary 
and coming in, he said to her, 

78
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,800
greetings favored. 
One, the Lord is with you, but 

79
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,500
she was very perplexed at this 
statement and kept pondering. 

80
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:14,700
What kind of salutation this 
was? 

81
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,400
And the angel said to her, do 
not be afraid. 

82
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,400
Mary for you, have found favor 
with God and behold, you will 

83
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,800
conceive. 
Receive in your womb and bear a 

84
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:30,600
son and you shall name him Jesus
and he will be great, and will 

85
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,300
be called the son of the most 
high. 

86
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:37,200
And the Lord, God will give him 
the Throne of his father David. 

87
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,200
And he will reign over the house
of Jacob forever. 

88
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,600
And his kingdom will have no 
end. 

89
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,400
Mary said to the angel, how can 
this be? 

90
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,700
Since I am a virgin and the 
angel answered and said to her 

91
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:55,100
the holy It will come upon you 
and the power of the most high 

92
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:58,300
will overshadow you. 
And for that reason the holy 

93
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:00,900
child shall be called The Son of
God. 

94
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:05,600
In verse 38, Mary said behold 
the bond servant of the Lord may

95
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,600
it be done to me according to 
your word and the angel departed

96
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,000
from her. 
Matthew 1:18 says, now, the 

97
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,100
birth of Jesus Christ was as 
followed when his mother Mary 

98
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:23,400
had been betrothed to Joseph 
before they Came together was 

99
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,500
found to be with child by the 
Holy Spirit and Joseph, her 

100
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:30,600
husband being a righteous man. 
Not wanting to disgrace her plan

101
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,700
to send her away secretly, but 
when he had considered this 

102
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,800
behold, an angel of the Lord 
appeared to him in a dream 

103
00:07:36,808 --> 00:07:40,500
saying Joseph, son of David, do 
not be afraid to take. 

104
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:45,100
Mary as your wife for the child 
who has been conceived in her is

105
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:48,300
of the Holy Spirit. 
She shall bear a son and you 

106
00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:52,500
shall call his name Jesus. 
And he will say, Save his people

107
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:56,500
from their sins and all this 
took place to fulfill what was 

108
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:59,600
spoken by the Lord through the 
prophet. 

109
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,700
That's the prophet. 
Isaiah Behold. 

110
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:06,000
A virgin shall be with child and
shall bear a son and they shall 

111
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:13,000
call his name Emmanuel, which 
translated means god with us. 

112
00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:17,800
And Joseph awoke from his sleep 
and did as the angel of the Lord

113
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,500
commanded him and took Mary as 
his wife. 

114
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:25,500
In Luke Chapter 2, Verse 1. 
Now, in those days, a decree 

115
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:28,800
went out from Caesar Augustus 
that a census. 

116
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,299
Be taken in all the inhabitants 
of the Earth. 

117
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:35,600
This was the first sentence 
sentence taken by choir. 

118
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,100
Ennis was getting her of Syria 
and everyone was on his way to 

119
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:44,100
register for the census each to 
his own City. 

120
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,700
Joseph also went up From Galilee
from the city of Nazareth to 

121
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:52,900
Judea to the city of David, 
which is called Bethlehem 

122
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,900
because he was of the House of 
the family of David in order to 

123
00:08:56,900 --> 00:09:02,000
register along with Mary, he who
was engaged to him and was with 

124
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
child while they were there. 
The days were completed for her 

125
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,600
to give birth and she gave birth
to her firstborn son and she 

126
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,200
wrapped him in cloths and laid 
him in a Manger because there 

127
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:22,700
was no room for them in the end 
Zechariah 9:9 and The first part

128
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:26,900
of non in the latter part of 10,
says this Rejoice greatly o 

129
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:29,600
Daughter of Zion shout and 
Triumph old daughter of 

130
00:09:29,608 --> 00:09:32,200
Jerusalem. 
Behold, your king is coming. 

131
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:37,500
He is just an endowed with 
salvation and he will speak 

132
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:42,800
peace to the nation's and his 
Dominion will be from sea to Sea

133
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:48,700
and from the river to the ends 
of the Earth back in Luke 

134
00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:52,300
chapter 2 verse 8, it says in 
the same region They were some 

135
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:54,900
Shepherds staying in the fields 
and keeping watch over their 

136
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:58,200
flock by night, and an angel of 
the Lord, suddenly stood before 

137
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,500
them and the glory of the Lord 
Shone around them, and they were

138
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:04,500
terribly frightened. 
But the angel said to them do 

139
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:07,400
not be afraid. 
And behold I bring you good news

140
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,900
of great joy which will be for 
all the people for today in the 

141
00:10:11,900 --> 00:10:14,500
city of David. 
There has been born for you. 

142
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:20,500
A savior who is Christ the Lord?
This will be assigned to eat for

143
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:23,200
you. 
You Will find a baby wrapped in 

144
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,100
clothes and lying in a manger 
and suddenly there appeared with

145
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:30,400
the angel, a multitude of the 
Heavenly Host, praising God, and

146
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,000
saying, glory to God in the 
highest and on Earth peace among

147
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,500
men with whom he is pleased when
the Angels had gone away from 

148
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:40,400
them into heaven. 
The shepherd's began saying to 

149
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,700
one another, let us go straight 
to Bethlehem then and see this 

150
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:48,800
thing that has happened which 
the Lord has made known to us. 

151
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,100
So they came in a hurry and 
found their way to Mary and 

152
00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:55,400
Joseph and the baby as he laid 
in the manger. 

153
00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:59,400
And when they had seen this, 
they made known the statement 

154
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,800
that they that had been told 
them about this child and all 

155
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,500
who heard it wandered at the 
things which were told them by 

156
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,400
the Shepherds. 
But Mary treasured all these 

157
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,700
things pondering them in her 
heart and the shepherd went back

158
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:20,000
glorifying and praising God. 
For all they had heard and seen 

159
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:25,800
just As it had been told them on
this same night, Daniel 

160
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,200
prophesied concerning a coming 
Kingdom years, that hundreds 

161
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,400
thousands of years earlier 
concerning this king would come 

162
00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:40,800
and in turn wise men were 
constantly on the lookout 

163
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:46,100
looking for his star and Daniel 
said concerning this and Daniel 

164
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:50,600
2:44 he says, in the days of 
those kings, the king of heaven 

165
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,000
will set up a kingdom. 
Which will never be destroyed 

166
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,400
and that Kingdom will not be 
left for another people. 

167
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:02,200
It will crush and put on put it 
in to all these kingdoms but 

168
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,800
itself endure forever in so 
much. 

169
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,800
As you saw, the stone was cut 
out of the mountain without 

170
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,100
hands and it crushed the iron, 
the bronze, the clay, the 

171
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:14,000
silver, and the gold. 
The great God has made known to 

172
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,500
the king. 
What will happen, what will take

173
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:19,100
place in the future. 
So the dream is true and its 

174
00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:22,000
interpretation is trustworthy 
Oh, thee. 

175
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:27,000
So within a two-year period time
frame between the birth of 

176
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,600
Jesus, to the coming of the Magi
or the wise men, as found in 

177
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:34,000
Matthew Chapter 2. 
It says, now, after Jesus was 

178
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,100
born in Bethlehem of Judea, in 
the days of Herod, the king Magi

179
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:40,000
from the East arrived in 
Jerusalem. 

180
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,500
They came from the area by which
Daniel prophesied that they 

181
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,800
around. 
Where Babylon was saying, where,

182
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,900
where is he, who was born King? 
The Jews for we saw his star in 

183
00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:56,700
the east and have come to 
worship him when Herod and the 

184
00:12:56,700 --> 00:13:00,300
King heard Herod, the king heard
this he was troubled and all 

185
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:03,500
Jerusalem with him gathering 
together, all the chief priests 

186
00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:06,000
and scribes of the people. 
He inquired of them where the 

187
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,900
Messiah was to be born and they 
said to him in Bethlehem of 

188
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:15,000
Judea for this is what has been 
written by the prophet and you 

189
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,700
Bethlehem. 
Oh, Land of Judah are by no 

190
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:21,500
means least among the leaders of
Judah for out of you shall come.

191
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,000
I'm forth. 
A ruler who will Shepherd My 

192
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,200
People Israel, then Herod 
secretly called the Magi and 

193
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,100
determine from them. 
The exact time, the star 

194
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:34,400
appeared and he sent them to 
Bethlehem and said, go and 

195
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,800
search carefully for the child, 
and when you have found him 

196
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,700
report to me, so that I too may 
come and worship him after 

197
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:45,900
hearing the king, they went 
their way and the star, which 

198
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:48,600
they had seen in the East went 
on before them until it came and

199
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,300
stood over the place where the 
child was And when they saw the 

200
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:57,000
star they rejoiced exceedingly 
with great joy after coming in 

201
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,300
the house, they saw the child 
with Mary his mother and they 

202
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:03,200
fell to the ground and worshiped
him. 

203
00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:07,600
Then opening their Treasures. 
They presented to him Gifts of 

204
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,400
gold and frankincense and myrrh 
and having been warned by God 

205
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,100
and dream, not to return to 
Herod the Magi left for their 

206
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:20,500
own country, by another way. 
Jesus later on live says this to

207
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,100
pilate and John 18:37. 
Jesus answered, you say 

208
00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:29,700
correctly, that I am a king for 
this. 

209
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:39,100
I have been born for this. 
I have been born and for this, 

210
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:43,800
I've come into the world to 
testify to the truth and 

211
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:50,900
everyone who is of the truth 
hears, my voice Philippians. 

212
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:54,100
Verse 9 says, for this reason 
also God. 

213
00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:57,900
Highly exalted him and bestowed 
on him the name which is above 

214
00:14:57,900 --> 00:15:01,200
every name. 
So that at the name of Jesus 

215
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,700
every knee will bow of those who
are in heaven and on Earth and 

216
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:11,500
under the Earth and that every 
tongue will confess Jesus Christ

217
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:18,500
is Lord to the glory of God, the
father in Revelation, 17 verse 

218
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:24,500
14 says this. 
He He is Lord of lords, and king

219
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:30,900
of kings, and those who are with
him, are the called and the 

220
00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:37,800
Chosen and the faithful. 
Hallelujah hallelujah. 

221
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:41,900
Hallelujah. 
Are you with the Lord? 

222
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,000
Is he the Lord of your life? 
Well, we're going to take 

223
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,100
communion this morning together 
because the king is born. 

224
00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:54,100
I said the king is Warn the king
is born. 

225
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,200
If you did not receive and 
communion element when you came 

226
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,800
in, if you would just our 
Usher's are going to stand and 

227
00:16:01,808 --> 00:16:04,200
if you just raise your hand 
they'll look around. 

228
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,000
Just keep your hands raised real
high. 

229
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,400
Okay. 
So that they can navigate to 

230
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,800
you. 
We're keeping the lights down. 

231
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,300
A little low. 
They'll find you, amen? 

232
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,100
But as you're waiting to get a 
communion element, what 

233
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:20,400
qualifies you to take communion 
this morning? 

234
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,700
Well, you just must be born 
again. 

235
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,400
Again you don't have to be a 
vision partner Bank of a church,

236
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,800
you just need to be born born 
again, confess, that Jesus is 

237
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,900
Lord. 
Maybe you're here today and say 

238
00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:36,300
Pastor Earle. 
I'm not I came with some family,

239
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:39,400
they said they were going to 
service on Christmas thought 

240
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,500
that was kind of odd. 
I thought, we'd just you know, 

241
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:45,100
open presents but here I am in 
service, maybe that someone in 

242
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:48,400
this room today we'll listen, 
there's a present. 

243
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,300
You should unwrap this morning 
and it's salvation. 

244
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,000
If asks you today if you're here
right now and I'm not gonna play

245
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,600
around, I'm gonna make you do 
what you would do for a natural 

246
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:05,400
gift because all of us even 
today we have no problem going 

247
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,000
to the tree, grabbing our gift 
in front of everybody and 

248
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,300
opening. 
It we don't raise a hand, we 

249
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:17,099
don't do it silently. 
We show up, we open it up in 

250
00:17:17,099 --> 00:17:20,200
front of everybody and so if 
you're here this morning and 

251
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,400
you're I don't know this King. 
You're talking about, but I want

252
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,300
to be in this family. 
I want to be in this family, 

253
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:28,700
there's something happening 
here, maybe you're sensing that.

254
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:31,200
I'm just going to ask you to do 
what you would do at your own 

255
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,900
home to get a natural gift. 
I just want you to stand up and 

256
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:36,500
come down here right now because
I'm going to pray with you. 

257
00:17:37,300 --> 00:17:40,900
If that's you and just right now
fast, she's saying, man, I need 

258
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:44,100
to know that I'm a Child of God 
this morning because today's a 

259
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:47,800
great day to open up the free 
gift he's given us is called 

260
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,900
life eternal. 
And you get to act exercise that

261
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:56,100
life not when you go to heaven. 
But right now it's just like 

262
00:17:56,100 --> 00:17:58,700
when you open a present up 
underneath the tree, you don't 

263
00:17:58,700 --> 00:18:02,500
have to wait until you die to 
enjoy it. 

264
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,200
You get to enjoy it immediately.
So if that's you just before we 

265
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,400
finish taking commune or, uh, 
Scherzer passing it out, I just 

266
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,600
want to give you an opportunity 
to come so that Christ can give 

267
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,000
you the greatest gift ever. 
Anyone at all this morning? 

268
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,300
Hey, Man, I see. 
We're praying with a child this 

269
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:25,100
morning. 
Hallelujah, childlike faith. 

270
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,800
I was born again at 99 years 
old. 

271
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,100
Oh, I'm thankful. 
Although, I didn't live perfect.

272
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,800
I'm just thankful there was 
something on the inside of me. 

273
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,100
Guiding me. 
And there were certain choices. 

274
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:42,900
I never made, because God was in
me. 

275
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:46,700
Hallelujah. 
So man, when we make Jesus, the 

276
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:49,500
Lord at a young age, praise the 
Lord. 

277
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,800
Lord, the things that God will 
do in our lives. 

278
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,200
Anyone else? 
When it comes, the Bible's very 

279
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,300
clear, you must come as a child,
you must come as a child. 

280
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:04,600
Glory to his name. 
Well, we're going to take 

281
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,600
communion together you, go ahead
and prepare that. 

282
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:15,000
Obviously the bread is on the 
top and separate that and then 

283
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,500
obviously, you'll get to the 
other. 

284
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,600
I might not be able to do this 
at all. 

285
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:35,000
Help me out there, please. 
The Bible talks about in the 

286
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,800
night. 
That Jesus was betrayed. 

287
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:40,800
He's the king, but the king had 
to die for his Nation, so that 

288
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,000
we could come into His Nation. 
Not only did he die, so that his

289
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,400
blood would be shed for us, but 
he was raised and the King sits 

290
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,700
on the throne today. 
And he makes sure that everyone 

291
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:55,500
who calls on his name, comes 
into that Kingdom. 

292
00:19:55,500 --> 00:19:58,200
Amen. 
And so it says, on the night in 

293
00:19:58,208 --> 00:20:01,300
which he was betrayed, he took 
the bread and said this bread 

294
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:06,000
represents my body. 
That he was strikes were laid on

295
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,200
his back. 
He was beaten the Bible says, 

296
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,400
and we understand that the 
stripes ever laid on his back, 

297
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,100
were for our healing, that's 
physical healing. 

298
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,600
It's the healthcare system of 
the kingdom and it also because 

299
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,700
his body had taken that on. 
He legally entered the Earth as 

300
00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:32,200
a man because God had given the 
Earth to man originally at least

301
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,900
Dominion of it. 
And then the cup he raised up 

302
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,600
and he said this cup represents 
the blood of my Covenant. 

303
00:20:38,100 --> 00:20:42,500
He says, as long as long as you 
eat the bread and drink the cup,

304
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,700
you'll put yourself in 
remembrance of his death that 

305
00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:49,400
which started this whole process
for us to be liberated. 

306
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,600
And the Bible says, without the 
shedding of blood, there is no 

307
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,600
remission of sin. 
All of us, have sinned and 

308
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,000
fallen short of the glory of 
God. 

309
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,200
And because the blood still 
flows on The Mercy Seat today, 

310
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,300
We are guilt free from a life 
against the kingdom. 

311
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:07,200
Hallelujah. 
Amen. 

312
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:09,900
I'm going to pray every both of 
these elements and we'll take 

313
00:21:09,900 --> 00:21:12,400
them together. 
Father, in the name of Jesus, I 

314
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,200
thank you for the bread and I 
thank you for the cup. 

315
00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:17,900
I think of these are Covenant 
pieces. 

316
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:24,000
That lets us know that we are in
a covenant with the king of all 

317
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,300
creation and that we are as 
children and that we recognize 

318
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,400
that God loved us. 
He sent his son. 

319
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,900
Son, born of the flesh, born of 
man, but was the son of God. 

320
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:38,700
He lived the life pleasing to 
the father without sin. 

321
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:43,600
He then laid down his life and 
took on our sin where we failed 

322
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,600
were, we were rightly to be 
judged and separated from our 

323
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,800
God because we were dead in our 
trespasses of sin, he took them 

324
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,400
on. 
And then on the third day, God 

325
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,900
raised him from the grave and 
he's poured. 

326
00:21:57,900 --> 00:22:01,900
His blood on The Mercy Seat. 
He's made Meant for Humanity, 

327
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:05,300
for all humanity. 
And for all who call on the name

328
00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:09,000
of the Lord is are saved. 
And we take this today. 

329
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:12,100
Recognizing that, this Covenant 
is Everlasting. 

330
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,700
This Covenant is defended by our
King and we cannot be snatched 

331
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:21,400
out of it. 
In the name of Jesus, break the 

332
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:33,200
bread and take it. 
Now, let's take the cup. 

333
00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:47,200
Father, thank you for the gift 
of life. 

334
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:54,600
Thank you for the gift of life. 
Thank you for the gift of life. 

335
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,900
Only, you could give the gift of
life. 

336
00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:08,100
Wow, thank you.

340
00:23:35,300 --> 00:23:38,600

unwrap them. 

341
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:43,500
And that she would embed gift 
upon gift inside a box. 

342
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:49,300
This year, they decided to put 
on the top of the box do not 

343

Since I'm telling you guys that 

344
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:56,700
Something's Happened in January 
1st and I won't let you know. 

345
00:23:57,700 --> 00:24:00,400
Now Bob did let me know on 
Wednesday that I could it was a 

346
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,400
joke. 
I said, no, I'm waiting but I'm 

347
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,600
bringing this up because the 
gift of Life Jesus gives us. 

348
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,600
Everyday, I can unwrap a deeper 
gift. 

349
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,300
It's like a gift that keeps on 
giving. 

350
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:18,400
I cannot exhausted. 
I can't find the end of it. 

351
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:21,400
I just keep digging deeper and I
keep finding more life. 

352
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,300
I keep finding more things in 
the Kingdom. 

353
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,600
It's the greatest gift that was 
ever given to me. 

354
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,600
Many of us, we unlock wrap the 
first and see the first part of 

355
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,300
the gift, but there's so much 
more to unpack in this Kingdom, 

356
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,100
and I encourage you to just keep
unwrapping the king. 

357
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:43,900
In 2023, let's unwrap this 
Kingdom, like never before. 

358
00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:47,400

It in the fullness that God 

359
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,300
wants because the Kings coming. 
I said the Kings coming the 

360
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:56,100
Kings coming and he wants his 
church to be ready to receive 

361
00:24:56,100 --> 00:24:59,000
him. 
He will not come as a suffering 

362
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,900
servant, he will come as the 
reigning King and there's much 

363
00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:05,700
he has to say concerning his 
kingdom that we can learn.
