6
00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
intro before.
Hand to kind of set the stage

00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
for the talk.
You’re about to listen to and

8
00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:35,900
now let’s talk more about this
week’s.

9
00:00:35,900 –> 00:00:51,400
Talk
for this week’s talk.

10
00:00:51,400 –> 00:00:53,200
We’re listening to an
expectation that was given at

11
00:00:53,200 –> 00:00:57,700
the end of January and 2023 by
Brother, Nick Harden at the San

12
00:00:57,700 –> 00:01:00,900
Francisco Peninsula.
Ecclesia, brother, Nick is

13
00:01:01,100 –> 00:01:06,100
looking at the passages in
Romans, 5 and Hebrews 11, where

14
00:01:06,100 –> 00:01:10,000
were talking about the men and
women of faith that are listed

15
00:01:10,000 –> 00:01:12,600
in Hebrews live and where they
did these things by faith and

16
00:01:12,700 –> 00:01:17,000
the title of his expectation is
by faith, insert your name here

17
00:01:17,400 –> 00:01:21,100
and he’s just looking at the
examples that we have through

18
00:01:21,100 –> 00:01:25,100
these different Bible characters
of what they did and what was

19
00:01:25,100 –> 00:01:27,900
ascribed to them by faith
specifically, he looks at a

20
00:01:27,900 –> 00:01:29,800
couple different characters
where you could list a lot of

21
00:01:29,900 –> 00:01:32,700
Things that were what they’re
known for.

22
00:01:33,000 –> 00:01:35,200
But it’s interesting.
What they were known for

23
00:01:35,200 –> 00:01:38,100
enlisted for in that chapter in
Hebrews 11.

24
00:01:38,600 –> 00:01:41,900
So it’s just a really good
reminder and a good review of

25
00:01:41,900 –> 00:01:46,200
what it should be for us.
And asks us, the question, what

26
00:01:46,200 –> 00:01:51,400
would be listed for us if we
said by faith insert your name

27
00:01:51,400 –> 00:01:52,800
here?
Did the following.

28
00:01:53,300 –> 00:01:55,800
So I found to be a really good
encouraging exhortation.

29
00:01:55,800 –> 00:01:59,100
Just a good reminder of making
sure that our faith is governing

30
00:01:59,100 –> 00:02:01,600
everything that we do.
You and that our actions are

31
00:02:01,607 –> 00:02:06,400
being made by said Faith.
So I hope that you enjoy this

32
00:02:06,400 –> 00:02:09,800
excitation and with that I will
turn it over to brother, Nick

33
00:02:09,800 –> 00:02:14,500
Harden for his extrication by
faith, insert your name here.

34
00:02:15,200 –> 00:02:21,700
So this morning the excitation I
want to think about Joseph and

35
00:02:21,800 –> 00:02:25,700
and think about by by faith and
insert your name here.

36
00:02:26,000 –> 00:02:31,300
So that name here again, we’ll
get to that as the Thing a

37
00:02:31,300 –> 00:02:33,000
couple of weeks ago we had an
excellent.

38
00:02:33,000 –> 00:02:37,800
My brother Canaan, who talked
about Joseph and many parts of

39
00:02:37,800 –> 00:02:42,200
Joseph lot but Joseph slight.
Now one of the one of the common

40
00:02:42,200 –> 00:02:46,800
things we think about from
Joseph’s life are what is the

41
00:02:46,800 –> 00:02:49,700
first thing that comes to your
mind when you think of Joseph?

42
00:02:51,100 –> 00:02:54,600
It’s a question.
Kyle has yeah, colors.

43
00:02:55,000 –> 00:02:59,700
The coat of many colors guy.
Suffered much.

44
00:03:00,700 –> 00:03:03,300
Also, same thing suffering.
Here, Jackson.

45
00:03:05,700 –> 00:03:07,600
They’ve been Glide.
Okay.

46
00:03:09,800 –> 00:03:12,100
So it’s all the things I’ve been
doing all his dreams.

47
00:03:12,200 –> 00:03:17,000
Like, you know, there were many
dreams, the Jodeci had and and

48
00:03:17,000 –> 00:03:20,600
work through in his life from
when he was young and having

49
00:03:20,600 –> 00:03:23,700
the, she’s buried down and his
father and son in the moon, the

50
00:03:23,700 –> 00:03:28,200
stars bowing down to his to
hear, Matt, and Pharaoh’s

51
00:03:28,200 –> 00:03:30,200
dreams.
So our dreams, the Pharaoh had

52
00:03:30,200 –> 00:03:33,800
that, and the dreams of the
service, the Butler, and the

53
00:03:33,800 –> 00:03:36,700
baker yet so dreams.
Yeah, well he think of you being

54
00:03:36,700 –> 00:03:41,400
sold into Egypt and things like
that placed in a pit and left

55
00:03:41,400 –> 00:03:44,100
their hated by his brothers.
Okay.

56
00:03:44,100 –> 00:03:47,100
In the coat of many colors,
jealous of his many things we

57
00:03:47,100 –> 00:03:49,200
think of, when we think of
Joseph.

58
00:03:49,300 –> 00:03:55,300
But we don’t necessarily think
about his bones and his Remains

59
00:03:55,300 –> 00:03:59,100
The Mummy of Joseph.
As brother did talked about

60
00:03:59,100 –> 00:04:01,800
that, that empty coffin in
Egypt.

61
00:04:01,800 –> 00:04:05,300
That was sort of left there.
But when we come to Hebrews,

62
00:04:05,500 –> 00:04:07,900
Chapter 11, we’ll just go there
if that’s all right.

63
00:04:09,500 –> 00:04:18,200
Hebrews 11 verse 20 cheer says
By faith Joseph, when he died

64
00:04:18,200 –> 00:04:22,300
made mention of the departing of
the children of Israel and gave

65
00:04:22,300 –> 00:04:24,600
commandment concerning his
bones.

66
00:04:26,200 –> 00:04:32,000
All right, so over all the
things in his life, all the acts

67
00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:33,700
of faith, all the different
things.

68
00:04:34,800 –> 00:04:37,600
The Commandment about his
Bowman’s was something that was

69
00:04:37,600 –> 00:04:42,300
chosen for this chapter in in
Hebrews, you know, the chapter

70
00:04:42,300 –> 00:04:45,300
where we speak about a lot of
acts of faith.

71
00:04:45,300 –> 00:04:48,600
Those.
And so, we’ll come back to

72
00:04:49,100 –> 00:04:54,700
thinking about, why?
That specific thing was chosen

73
00:04:55,200 –> 00:05:03,100
about Joseph’s life in a bit but
let’s go over to the Genesis and

74
00:05:03,200 –> 00:05:08,400
chapter 50 there where we’re at
where it happens and thanks.

75
00:05:08,400 –> 00:05:10,000
Seth breeding.
That’s so well.

76
00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:15,600
Okay, so Genesis 50 ride down
there.

77
00:05:16,500 –> 00:05:22,700
Second, last verse, Chuck, verse
25 and Joseph sold, and it’s

78
00:05:22,700 –> 00:05:25,800
about to die.
And so, he calls his brothers

79
00:05:25,800 –> 00:05:31,200
and said, as and Joseph, took it
over for the children of Israel

80
00:05:31,200 –> 00:05:33,900
saying.
God will surely.

81
00:05:33,900 –> 00:05:38,800
Visit you?
And ye, and ye shall carry up my

82
00:05:38,800 –> 00:05:42,200
bones from hence.
And that’s where he His getting

83
00:05:42,200 –> 00:05:46,800
it from well and Joseph’s bones.
Be carried up from heads.

84
00:05:48,100 –> 00:05:52,100
And so where did he get that
from where did chased wedding

85
00:05:52,400 –> 00:05:54,500
is?
Joseph telling his own prophecy

86
00:05:54,500 –> 00:06:00,200
here saying that, you know, your
leave Egypt, some staged, take

87
00:06:00,200 –> 00:06:02,500
my bones with you.
Is that what?

88
00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:08,900
What he was doing there.
If we, if we go back to Chapters

89
00:06:08,900 –> 00:06:11,700
back to the chapter, 20 in here,
sorry, 48.

90
00:06:12,200 –> 00:06:16,500
And we see at the end of Jacob’s
life, where he just finished

91
00:06:16,500 –> 00:06:21,000
blessing East, sorry, T frame,
and Manasseh.

92
00:06:22,000 –> 00:06:26,800
And if we look at verse 21, we
see Jacob.

93
00:06:26,900 –> 00:06:32,800
Also talking about the leaving
the land there that says a verse

94
00:06:32,800 –> 00:06:39,300
21 Jezus, 248.
And Israel said unto Joseph

95
00:06:39,900 –> 00:06:41,300
behold.
I die.

96
00:06:42,300 –> 00:06:46,000
But God shall be with you and
bring you again into the land of

97
00:06:46,000 –> 00:06:50,400
your buttons.
So it wasn’t Joseph side here

98
00:06:50,400 –> 00:06:54,200
though, going to leave.
Jacob also was able to tell him

99
00:06:54,200 –> 00:07:02,200
that you’re now in Egypt but you
will weave Egypt as well and if

100
00:07:02,200 –> 00:07:07,400
I yeah, I To think that
Josephus, my was actually even

101
00:07:07,400 –> 00:07:11,500
further back with his, to be his
great, grandfather Abraham.

102
00:07:12,000 –> 00:07:17,100
And if we on have a look at
Genesis chapter 15, where this

103
00:07:17,100 –> 00:07:23,100
is mentioned to Abraham, even.
So Jess is 15 verse 30.

104
00:07:23,900 –> 00:07:25,400
I’m sorry.
Girls. 13.

105
00:07:26,200 –> 00:07:31,400
And he said, unto Abram know
this of a surety that thy seed

106
00:07:31,400 –> 00:07:33,600
shall be a stranger in the let
in our land.

107
00:07:33,900 –> 00:07:38,100
That is not theirs and Shall
Serve them and they shall be

108
00:07:38,100 –> 00:07:44,000
afflicted of them 400 years.
And also the nation whom they

109
00:07:44,000 –> 00:07:48,800
serve, they Shall Serve show
will be, will I judge and

110
00:07:48,800 –> 00:07:53,700
afterwards they shall come out
with great substance and shall

111
00:07:53,700 –> 00:07:58,100
go unto thy fathers in peace and
thou shalt be buried to good old

112
00:07:58,100 –> 00:08:00,900
age.
So here, there’s even more

113
00:08:00,900 –> 00:08:05,300
detail about it in here that the
time key Period Abraham’s given

114
00:08:05,300 –> 00:08:10,700
a time period of 400 years there
that they would be afflicted and

115
00:08:10,700 –> 00:08:12,300
we could possibly readings about
that.

116
00:08:12,400 –> 00:08:16,700
He was speaking of this time
where they were in in Egypt.

117
00:08:18,600 –> 00:08:20,900
And we’ll come back to the shop
because there’s some interesting

118
00:08:20,900 –> 00:08:26,700
stuff further up in Genesis 15
on the sort of Link here and

119
00:08:26,700 –> 00:08:32,000
troponin time I exhort together
but if we if we come back to

120
00:08:32,000 –> 00:08:36,600
Joseph and we think about Joseph
is about to die.

121
00:08:38,000 –> 00:08:39,900
Why didn’t he just do what Jacob
did.

122
00:08:39,900 –> 00:08:44,100
Ya do up there in bury me?
No shit sherd here.

123
00:08:44,100 –> 00:08:48,600
I would have let you know the
truth of the Israelite boys

124
00:08:48,600 –> 00:08:51,600
showed take Joseph’s coughing up
there and putting beside his

125
00:08:51,600 –> 00:08:53,400
father.
Will put him somewhere in the

126
00:08:53,408 –> 00:08:55,200
land of Israel.
That’s what he really wanted he

127
00:08:55,200 –> 00:08:57,800
saved Egypt.
So he could have done that.

128
00:08:57,800 –> 00:09:03,100
So why did he make out?
That he should be taken out with

129
00:09:03,100 –> 00:09:07,000
the people.
And I think that that comes to

130
00:09:07,000 –> 00:09:09,800
that.
Essence of faith of Joseph.

131
00:09:10,000 –> 00:09:16,300
He had those two words of his
father and his great-grandfather

132
00:09:16,300 –> 00:09:19,400
that had been said before you
really leaving this layout.

133
00:09:20,300 –> 00:09:23,900
And I think he saw that wanted
to act on that.

134
00:09:23,900 –> 00:09:27,600
You didn’t necessarily want to
take his own way out and get

135
00:09:27,600 –> 00:09:30,200
himself delivered to the land of
Israel.

136
00:09:30,200 –> 00:09:33,300
And well, the rest of you people
that leave you to do what, you

137
00:09:33,300 –> 00:09:37,100
know, I’ll let you get out when
you can get out, but I’m getting

138
00:09:37,100 –> 00:09:38,600
our now.
When I’m dead.

139
00:09:38,600 –> 00:09:41,500
All right.
Instead, he spice sort of said

140
00:09:41,500 –> 00:09:44,400
well I want to go with my
brothers.

141
00:09:44,500 –> 00:09:47,700
I want to go with older, go with
everyone else goes because I

142
00:09:47,700 –> 00:09:52,800
believe is in his heart yet all
conviction and full strength

143
00:09:52,800 –> 00:09:55,900
that the Israelites were going
to leave Egypt.

144
00:09:56,600 –> 00:09:59,900
And that was his wife.
It was so strong that they were

145
00:09:59,900 –> 00:10:03,400
going to leave Egypt.
Then he said, well, I don’t care

146
00:10:03,400 –> 00:10:06,300
if I do now.
We’re in 100 years or 200 years.

147
00:10:07,800 –> 00:10:11,800
I will eventually go and when I
go, if people take me with you

148
00:10:12,800 –> 00:10:16,900
and I think that’s that’s part
of the part of the Powerball, is

149
00:10:17,500 –> 00:10:22,800
it was, it was Joseph Faith.
The faith of didn’t know in

150
00:10:22,800 –> 00:10:26,100
Hebrews 11 verse 1.
It says faith is the substance

151
00:10:26,100 –> 00:10:30,100
of things hoped for the evidence
of Things Not Seen.

152
00:10:30,800 –> 00:10:33,600
He just had those couple of
words from his father and his

153
00:10:33,600 –> 00:10:36,900
grandfather great-grandfather
that that’s what was going to

154
00:10:36,900 –> 00:10:40,700
happen.
And he had the full conviction,

155
00:10:40,700 –> 00:10:43,400
that was actually going to
happen.

156
00:10:45,000 –> 00:10:48,400
So we do before we go back into
New Testament, let’s just

157
00:10:48,400 –> 00:10:55,000
continue following the bones of
Joseph and let’s see what

158
00:10:55,000 –> 00:10:57,800
happens to the next.
So we go through the years and

159
00:10:57,800 –> 00:11:07,500
we come to Moses and in Exodus
chapter 13, go there And the

160
00:11:07,500 –> 00:11:13,200
best 19, the words of Joseph
hadn’t been forgotten.

161
00:11:14,400 –> 00:11:19,500
And just as Joseph was just as
Pharaoh, let them go.

162
00:11:20,300 –> 00:11:23,900
And Moses is taking off out of
Egypt.

163
00:11:24,600 –> 00:11:27,700
Verse 19.
Moses took the bones of Joseph

164
00:11:27,700 –> 00:11:31,500
with him.
For, he has, strayed me Swan.

165
00:11:31,500 –> 00:11:36,800
The children of Israel saying,
God will surely visit you, and

166
00:11:36,800 –> 00:11:39,700
you shall carry my bones away
hence with.

167
00:11:41,900 –> 00:11:45,100
So they were in a hurry and they
were to get out and they taken

168
00:11:45,100 –> 00:11:49,600
all the goods of Egypt and
Egyptians, but they also carried

169
00:11:50,300 –> 00:11:52,200
this coffin.
I don’t know what it was made of

170
00:11:52,300 –> 00:11:54,600
stone or, or what?
No, no.

171
00:11:54,600 –> 00:11:57,100
Don’t know if he says he was in
bombed.

172
00:11:57,100 –> 00:12:02,200
So was his insides and John.
Has, I’m not sure, but They

173
00:12:02,200 –> 00:12:07,700
Carried Joe Joseph’s blow and
all through the Wilderness and

174
00:12:07,700 –> 00:12:11,400
you can imagine that questions
of, with children of Israel.

175
00:12:11,400 –> 00:12:14,700
But as their wandering through
the Wilderness, they’ve got

176
00:12:15,000 –> 00:12:18,400
people dying along the way and
they’re burying them in the

177
00:12:18,400 –> 00:12:22,100
wilderness yet.
They’re carrying was Coffin and

178
00:12:22,100 –> 00:12:24,900
they continuously Globe.
Every Camp had to pick it up and

179
00:12:24,900 –> 00:12:27,900
move it to the next place.
We can imagine people saying,

180
00:12:27,900 –> 00:12:31,100
why are we carrying this thing?
What’s, what are we doing with

181
00:12:31,100 –> 00:12:34,000
this?
Probably just dump it here like,

182
00:12:34,000 –> 00:12:36,900
trip, double with the rest of
our people.

183
00:12:36,900 –> 00:12:39,400
Because how many millions of
people died there in the

184
00:12:39,400 –> 00:12:42,800
wilderness?
Why are we carrying these bones?

185
00:12:42,800 –> 00:12:46,900
And I think that was part of it,
part of the intention of Joseph

186
00:12:48,600 –> 00:12:54,200
white hear that.
It’s, it’s part of the plan.

187
00:12:54,200 –> 00:12:59,500
The plan is that we leave in
chips and go and Joseph’s bones

188
00:12:59,500 –> 00:13:04,100
are reminder to the children of
Israel that this is the plan of

189
00:13:04,100 –> 00:13:06,900
God, we’re leaving this place.
And we’re going to the promised

190
00:13:06,900 –> 00:13:11,500
land and even though I’m dead, I
want to be with a with you, in

191
00:13:11,500 –> 00:13:15,500
the promised land as we go.
And so I did that’s it, just a

192
00:13:15,500 –> 00:13:18,700
beautiful part of that you’ve
got the grumbling of the

193
00:13:18,700 –> 00:13:22,100
children of Israel and yet
they’re still still carrying his

194
00:13:22,100 –> 00:13:27,500
coffin through the Wilderness or
reasons that they didn’t fully

195
00:13:27,500 –> 00:13:31,900
comprehend and hopefully some of
them did and picked it up.

196
00:13:32,300 –> 00:13:38,700
And and continued and looked at
both us often as a as a symbol

197
00:13:38,700 –> 00:13:46,400
of Hope and and looking forward
so, they get into the into the

198
00:13:48,400 –> 00:13:55,100
Into the Promised Land.
And Joshua still carry around.

199
00:13:55,100 –> 00:13:59,800
So if we go to Joshua chapter
the last chapter chapter 24, it

200
00:13:59,800 –> 00:14:05,300
is here Chuckles 24, and they
get into the promised land and

201
00:14:05,300 –> 00:14:07,500
Joshua didn’t find the first
place that he could.

202
00:14:07,500 –> 00:14:09,600
All right, we’re here we have
just get rid of these bones.

203
00:14:10,000 –> 00:14:14,300
Let’s bury Jacob, Joseph where
we can and is in the promised

204
00:14:14,300 –> 00:14:18,700
land where he wanted to go know
the whole way through Joshua’s K

205
00:14:18,700 –> 00:14:21,400
of paying, he still carrying the
bone.

206
00:14:21,500 –> 00:14:24,900
As of Joseph and it’s not until
the ends.

207
00:14:25,600 –> 00:14:31,300
Whereas verse 32 and Joshua
dies, yes.

208
00:14:31,300 –> 00:14:40,200
Verse before while so I thought
24, Joshua 24 And verse 32.

209
00:14:41,800 –> 00:14:47,200
And the bones with chose soup
bones of Joseph, which the

210
00:14:47,200 –> 00:14:50,000
children of Israel brought up
out of Egypt.

211
00:14:50,100 –> 00:14:54,200
Very they in shechem in the
parcel of ground, which a good

212
00:14:54,200 –> 00:14:58,000
board for, from the sons of
hamor, the father of shechem 400

213
00:14:58,700 –> 00:15:02,000
pieces of silver and became
inheritance for the sons of

214
00:15:02,300 –> 00:15:07,100
Joseph and they died.
And that’s the end of the book

215
00:15:07,100 –> 00:15:09,000
Earth.
Joshua.

216
00:15:09,000 –> 00:15:13,400
And then we move into the very
next chapter, which is a judges.

217
00:15:13,400 –> 00:15:16,800
And you can see a decline of
Israel going from there.

218
00:15:16,900 –> 00:15:20,800
Joseph’s bones had been that
there’s symbols for people like

219
00:15:20,800 –> 00:15:24,600
Moses and Joshua and keeping
them strong throughout their

220
00:15:24,600 –> 00:15:26,700
period.
They didn’t bury him because it

221
00:15:26,708 –> 00:15:30,900
was that, that symbol of Hope
through their life.

222
00:15:30,900 –> 00:15:36,200
And yeah, when Joseph’s bones
were buried, the nation sort of

223
00:15:36,200 –> 00:15:39,800
goes into some sort of Of wax.
Today’s equal.

224
00:15:40,200 –> 00:15:47,400
Apathy about God.
And so the the the point of

225
00:15:47,400 –> 00:15:52,900
Joseph’s bones, I think was for
Joseph to get out of Egypt and

226
00:15:52,900 –> 00:15:57,700
and not to look back, not to
look back and on the good things

227
00:15:57,700 –> 00:16:00,000
that were in Egypt, the latest
in the Garlic’s and whatever,

228
00:16:00,400 –> 00:16:03,300
but to always look forward and
to look, look towards the

229
00:16:03,300 –> 00:16:06,200
promised land.
And if we go back over to

230
00:16:06,200 –> 00:16:12,200
Hebrews house, I go to Hebrews
chapter 11 again. and if we go

231
00:16:12,200 –> 00:16:21,600
to verse 13 to 16, Here.
I think we see why this specific

232
00:16:21,700 –> 00:16:23,800
instance in Joseph’s life is
chosen.

233
00:16:23,800 –> 00:16:27,200
I think a lot of the, a lot of
the reasons why a lot of the

234
00:16:27,200 –> 00:16:31,000
instances were chosen in this
chapter were, for this reason

235
00:16:32,000 –> 00:16:37,400
verse 13, all these died in
faith, having not received the

236
00:16:37,400 –> 00:16:39,600
promises but having seen them
afar off.

237
00:16:40,500 –> 00:16:45,900
And were persuaded of them and
embraced them and confessed that

238
00:16:45,900 –> 00:16:53,100
they were strangers and pilgrims
on the earth for they that say

239
00:16:53,100 –> 00:16:58,100
such things declare plainly.
That they seek a country.

240
00:16:59,400 –> 00:17:04,500
And truly, if they had been
mindful of that Comfort country

241
00:17:04,500 –> 00:17:08,099
from whence, they came out, they
might have had opportunity to

242
00:17:08,099 –> 00:17:14,200
return.
But now they desire a better

243
00:17:14,200 –> 00:17:18,300
country.
That is a heaven and Heavenly

244
00:17:19,000 –> 00:17:23,099
where we’re of God is not
ashamed to be called their God

245
00:17:23,500 –> 00:17:25,700
and have prepared a city for
them.

246
00:17:27,000 –> 00:17:31,700
So I think that that, that sums
up the reasons why Joseph made

247
00:17:31,700 –> 00:17:37,100
Commandments of his bones, he
was looking forward to the new

248
00:17:37,100 –> 00:17:41,800
city, a new place.
He wanted to leave that place by

249
00:17:41,800 –> 00:17:45,100
and in Egypt, but he didn’t want
to leave it behind by himself.

250
00:17:45,300 –> 00:17:48,900
It’s bad enough years on his
other, and them to bring his

251
00:17:48,900 –> 00:17:54,000
whole family with him into that
Promised Land. and here we see

252
00:17:54,300 –> 00:17:59,000
that if you had opportunity to
look back to look around, Then

253
00:17:59,000 –> 00:18:05,200
you might want to go back to
that other city and and so it’s

254
00:18:05,200 –> 00:18:08,600
it’s state is telling us to keep
our minds on the kingdom and

255
00:18:08,600 –> 00:18:15,300
looking forward.
And this I think this this the

256
00:18:15,300 –> 00:18:19,900
book of Hebrews was written to
the to the Hebrews in Jerusalem

257
00:18:20,900 –> 00:18:25,600
before ad 70 where Christ in the
prophecy in the old, the Olivet

258
00:18:25,600 –> 00:18:29,200
prophecy told them to get out
when they could and to leave

259
00:18:29,200 –> 00:18:31,900
everything behind and just run
for the hills when the

260
00:18:31,900 –> 00:18:35,500
opportunity came because
desolation was going to come up

261
00:18:35,500 –> 00:18:38,400
on the city.
And I think this is why there

262
00:18:38,400 –> 00:18:42,700
are so many passages like this
where in what way the faith of

263
00:18:42,700 –> 00:18:48,700
the People are recorded in
Hebrews. 11 just say look

264
00:18:49,100 –> 00:18:51,500
forward.
Don’t Look Back.

265
00:18:52,500 –> 00:18:57,100
Get out while you can.
Wine ways you can separate

266
00:18:57,100 –> 00:19:01,000
yourself from the world around
you because the water Ranch is

267
00:19:01,000 –> 00:19:03,400
only going to end in in
disaster.

268
00:19:04,400 –> 00:19:10,000
And this is where my tired of
make citation comes in by faith.

269
00:19:11,300 –> 00:19:17,000
Insert your name here, right?
So where would our story our

270
00:19:17,000 –> 00:19:20,100
life?
Where would we sit in the book,

271
00:19:20,100 –> 00:19:25,800
go and the Hebrews chapter 11.
What what Act in our life or

272
00:19:25,800 –> 00:19:29,500
what thoughts in our life would
be that defining moment that

273
00:19:29,500 –> 00:19:35,800
could be written here and in all
of the book of the Hebrews 11.

274
00:19:36,100 –> 00:19:45,000
So by faith Nick, when he was, I
don’t know, don’t go, she did

275
00:19:45,000 –> 00:19:47,600
this and that, separated him
from the world.

276
00:19:48,200 –> 00:19:52,100
He was able to to see, I love
the story of Tom other thing

277
00:19:52,200 –> 00:19:56,500
dominated from online there
today, And he’s in story of when

278
00:19:56,500 –> 00:20:00,700
he was in the factory working
and he wasn’t going to work on

279
00:20:00,700 –> 00:20:08,500
the on, on the only guns and
machines that for war in those

280
00:20:08,500 –> 00:20:10,100
days.
But he was separate and in the

281
00:20:10,100 –> 00:20:12,200
form and everyone knew that him
separate.

282
00:20:12,600 –> 00:20:15,800
And I think that would be an
instance of where he’s recorded

283
00:20:15,900 –> 00:20:19,000
in, this sort of Passage here in
Hebrews 11 by faith, Tom.

284
00:20:19,700 –> 00:20:24,200
Yeah, stood aside from producing
things in the world and instead.

285
00:20:24,300 –> 00:20:27,500
Separated himself.
So if we just think in our lives

286
00:20:27,500 –> 00:20:31,600
here, where where we can focus
our mind on the kingdom and we

287
00:20:31,600 –> 00:20:33,900
always stood aside from the
things of the world and where we

288
00:20:33,900 –> 00:20:37,700
separated ourselves, think that
could help us in our in our

289
00:20:37,700 –> 00:20:43,700
journey as Joseph bookstores,
the kingdom and made

290
00:20:43,700 –> 00:20:45,700
Commandments concerning his
bones.

291
00:20:49,100 –> 00:20:55,200
So, I’d like to just wrap up
this morning, and we’ll go over

292
00:20:55,200 –> 00:20:59,700
to Romans, and in this time in
Romans chapter 5, actually do

293
00:20:59,700 –> 00:21:04,900
four, not five, Romans chapter
4, and we’ll have a look at

294
00:21:04,900 –> 00:21:08,500
Abraham.
And this takes us straight back

295
00:21:08,500 –> 00:21:12,000
into that Genesis chapter, 15
passage.

296
00:21:12,000 –> 00:21:17,600
If you look at Romans for well,
I’m going to change version

297
00:21:17,600 –> 00:21:20,100
here.
And I think I’ll read it from

298
00:21:20,100 –> 00:21:26,400
the NHC.
Romans 4 and verse 18.

299
00:21:29,400 –> 00:21:33,200
Against hope Abraham believed in
Hope.

300
00:21:34,200 –> 00:21:39,600
With the result that he became,
father, became the father of

301
00:21:39,600 –> 00:21:43,400
many nations according to the
pronouncement.

302
00:21:43,400 –> 00:21:46,600
Cellular, your descendants be
okay.

303
00:21:46,600 –> 00:21:49,800
So that was God’s pronouncement
to Abraham.

304
00:21:50,000 –> 00:21:54,600
So you’re so, will your
descendants be without being

305
00:21:54,600 –> 00:21:58,200
weak in faith?
He considered not his own body

306
00:21:59,000 –> 00:22:02,100
because he was about 100 years
old or the deadness of Sarah’s

307
00:22:02,100 –> 00:22:05,100
worm.
So he was old man.

308
00:22:05,900 –> 00:22:08,400
Yeah, he considered not.
Those things.

309
00:22:08,400 –> 00:22:11,900
Is that inhibit ation for him to
be carbon.

310
00:22:12,900 –> 00:22:19,200
That father of many nations He
did not waving his unbelief

311
00:22:19,500 –> 00:22:24,800
about the promise of God.
But I was strengthened in faith.

312
00:22:25,700 –> 00:22:28,500
Giving God giving the glory to
God.

313
00:22:29,700 –> 00:22:35,100
She was fully convinced that
what sorry that what God

314
00:22:35,100 –> 00:22:42,600
promised he was also able to do.
So Abraham was fully convinced

315
00:22:43,400 –> 00:22:48,800
and and that was his faith that
God was able to do what he said.

316
00:22:48,800 –> 00:22:53,600
It didn’t know how the that he
was all wife was old-world

317
00:22:54,500 –> 00:22:58,100
pasture bearing children but God
has said it.

318
00:22:58,100 –> 00:23:00,800
Okay.
It’s going to happen, somehow.

319
00:23:03,000 –> 00:23:09,900
And so we see verse 22 says, so
indeed, it was credited to.

320
00:23:09,900 –> 00:23:13,600
You heard.
It said to Abraham as

321
00:23:13,600 –> 00:23:19,700
righteousness and we see that
back in Genesis chapter 15 and

322
00:23:19,700 –> 00:23:24,900
verse 6 and says and he believed
in the Lord and it was counted

323
00:23:24,900 –> 00:23:32,500
to him for righteousness.
So, Abraham with fully

324
00:23:32,500 –> 00:23:36,000
compressed, yellow, the King
James version, puts it fully

325
00:23:36,000 –> 00:23:40,400
persuaded in in verse 20 and
verse 21.

326
00:23:41,400 –> 00:23:46,400
Well fully persuaded that God
would do as he said just as

327
00:23:46,400 –> 00:23:51,800
Joseph was fully persuaded that
the children of Israel come out

328
00:23:51,800 –> 00:23:55,200
of the land of Egypt and he made
mention of his bow is just

329
00:23:55,200 –> 00:23:59,500
because of that Abraham was
fully fully persuaded that this

330
00:24:03,200 –> 00:24:07,100
I like the way that he any, the,
the NIV puts verse 21, so it’s

331
00:24:07,100 –> 00:24:11,700
going to change too.
So invest 20 shoe, Change the ni

332
00:24:11,700 –> 00:24:22,600
be here. beauty of digital
things, this it is Let me

333
00:24:22,600 –> 00:24:27,200
Deborah, just read back from 21,
being fully persuaded that God

334
00:24:27,200 –> 00:24:29,400
had the power to do what he
promised.

335
00:24:30,300 –> 00:24:34,900
This is why it was credited to
him for righteousness.

336
00:24:35,700 –> 00:24:39,500
It was because he was fully
persuaded that, it was credited

337
00:24:39,500 –> 00:24:43,900
to him for righteousness.
And if we move on to verse 23,

338
00:24:44,600 –> 00:24:49,000
it says the words, the words it
was credited to him.

339
00:24:49,600 –> 00:24:51,400
We’re not just written for him
alone.

340
00:24:52,200 –> 00:24:54,900
As so this wasn’t just but
Abraham, just because Abraham

341
00:24:54,900 –> 00:25:00,000
believed and he was fully
persuaded It’s not just written

342
00:25:00,000 –> 00:25:05,400
but just he gets a credit of
righteousness, verse 24, but

343
00:25:05,400 –> 00:25:11,600
also for us should whom God will
credit righteousness.

344
00:25:13,300 –> 00:25:18,500
For us, who believe in him, who
raised Jesus, our lord from the

345
00:25:18,500 –> 00:25:24,800
dead.
So for us, we believe in God who

346
00:25:24,800 –> 00:25:28,700
raised Jesus from the dead, he
will be credited to us from

347
00:25:28,700 –> 00:25:34,100
righteousness as well.
So this pretty powerful further

348
00:25:34,100 –> 00:25:38,500
for the faith that we can have
in God, we can leave aside the

349
00:25:38,500 –> 00:25:42,400
themes of the world, we can put
up with our focus on the kingdom

350
00:25:43,000 –> 00:25:48,800
and believe in God.
And that is credited to us or

351
00:25:48,800 –> 00:25:52,300
righteousness.
Just as it was to Abraham

352
00:25:52,300 –> 00:25:57,800
because he fully believed that
God would give him a nation.

353
00:25:59,000 –> 00:26:01,500
Well, I think that’s that’s
that’s pretty powerful to us

354
00:26:01,500 –> 00:26:04,800
that, you know, that just
through belief, we can be

355
00:26:04,800 –> 00:26:12,700
credited for righteousness.
And in verse verse 25, he was

356
00:26:12,700 –> 00:26:15,400
delivered over to death for our
sins.

357
00:26:16,600 –> 00:26:21,400
And was raised to life for our
justification.

358
00:26:22,600 –> 00:26:25,600
So Christ was delivered over to
death for our sins.

359
00:26:25,600 –> 00:26:27,400
He it in.
And what we come here to

360
00:26:27,400 –> 00:26:32,300
remember this morning in the
death, and the burial, and the

361
00:26:32,300 –> 00:26:35,500
resurrection of our Lord Jesus
Christ, in The Taking of the

362
00:26:35,508 –> 00:26:41,900
bread and the wine.
We seen that he was he his death

363
00:26:41,900 –> 00:26:44,900
was for our sins.
The Take Me Away about sins.

364
00:26:46,300 –> 00:26:54,300
Yeah, he was raised to life for
our justification, it’s a many

365
00:26:54,300 –> 00:26:56,400
years ago.
I heard an explanation of the

366
00:26:56,400 –> 00:26:59,500
word justification and stuck in
my mind.

367
00:26:59,900 –> 00:27:04,200
And it’s so simple that I got to
tell you it here now.

368
00:27:04,200 –> 00:27:09,000
So the many of justification.
Let’s just see what strong says

369
00:27:09,000 –> 00:27:18,500
since they’d burst but for us
also was I started 5 minutes to

370
00:27:18,500 –> 00:27:22,600
render.
That is to show what regard just

371
00:27:22,800 –> 00:27:27,900
or innocent free.
Justify be righteous by another

372
00:27:28,000 –> 00:27:32,100
another slightly different word
acquittal for Christ’s sake

373
00:27:32,100 –> 00:27:37,000
justification.
Okay, so that’s a strong

374
00:27:37,000 –> 00:27:40,600
definition of it.
I like this definition.

375
00:27:40,600 –> 00:27:46,800
If you break the word out and to
what it sounds like, just If I’d

376
00:27:47,000 –> 00:27:52,000
so Justified just if I’d never
done it use that.

377
00:27:52,000 –> 00:27:54,100
Never done it to the edge just
if I’d never done it.

378
00:27:54,900 –> 00:27:58,000
Okay.
So it’s noon your become like

379
00:27:58,000 –> 00:28:01,600
just as if you’d never done it
in God’s mind you being

380
00:28:01,600 –> 00:28:08,300
justified and I like that.
So he was delivered over to

381
00:28:08,900 –> 00:28:12,500
death for our sins and was
raised for our justification.

382
00:28:12,700 –> 00:28:14,800
So then we could be in God’s
eyes.

383
00:28:14,800 –> 00:28:18,800
Just And said we’d never done
the sins that we have committed

384
00:28:18,800 –> 00:28:23,400
by theists, that’s beautiful and
we’ll finish off with with verse

385
00:28:23,400 –> 00:28:30,400
1 of Romans chapter 5.
Therefore since we have been

386
00:28:30,400 –> 00:28:36,000
justified through faith just as
justify Justified, never done it

387
00:28:36,200 –> 00:28:39,800
through faith.
We have the peace.

388
00:28:39,900 –> 00:28:44,400
We have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ.

389
00:28:46,800 –> 00:28:50,800
And as our Lord, Jesus Christ
with come here this morning to

390
00:28:50,800 –> 00:28:53,500
remember in England, taking of
the bread and the wine.
