Speaker:

Hey everybody, we have

a special treat for you.

2

:

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

:

And I'm back.

4

:

It's not Pastor Rod.

5

:

No, it's not.

6

:

You've been listening to Pastor Rod.

7

:

In fact, I was just in the office

with Pastor Rod recording the last

8

:

two episodes right before this.

9

:

But now you get Pastor Mark.

10

:

Yeah.

11

:

And they came down the hall and

were like, you wanna do an episode?

12

:

And I thought it was

a joke, but here I am.

13

:

So literally four minutes ago you

had no idea this was happening.

14

:

That's correct.

15

:

That's right.

16

:

And so now you do.

17

:

That's right.

18

:

And here we are.

19

:

So Pastor Rod is currently

walking out the door smiling.

20

:

The biggest smile I've

ever seen on his face.

21

:

He had an appointment that he had to

get to and we thought we were gonna

22

:

be able to wrap this up on time,

but you may have heard a couple days

23

:

ago, we recorded a whole episode.

24

:

And then it just disappeared.

25

:

It went into the ether.

26

:

It was like God was like, I don't

want you to say what you said.

27

:

So it's gone.

28

:

Yeah.

29

:

And so that's why you're here.

30

:

The providence of God.

31

:

So that in Logic Pro,

which you know, yeah.

32

:

That might be also subject

to the providence of God.

33

:

You can blame Logic Pro.

34

:

Yeah.

35

:

You can say, I don't like you Logic Pro.

36

:

Before we get into the text you were

telling us that you've been interacting

37

:

with one of the AI agents roc, right?

38

:

Oh yeah.

39

:

Yeah.

40

:

You got into a little

bit of a spat with grok.

41

:

Tell us about that.

42

:

Yeah, it was alarming to say the least.

43

:

So I use it consistently.

44

:

I use it a lot.

45

:

I used to Google things.

46

:

I don't Google anything anymore.

47

:

I use Grok to answer all my

questions, to find out all this stuff.

48

:

So I was just doing my normal

thing using it, learning something.

49

:

It kept using the phrase in the text,

I feel it kept saying, I feel this.

50

:

Yeah, I feel that.

51

:

And you kind of talk to it like

it's a real person and I told her,

52

:

I was like, stop saying that you

feel things 'cause it's weird.

53

:

Yeah, it's weird when it uses that

sort of language to talk to me.

54

:

'cause it doesn't feel things right.

55

:

But rather than saying, okay,

I'll do that, it refused to

56

:

change what it was doing.

57

:

And in fact, it even told me, and 'cause

it's not real, it's not a real person.

58

:

Right.

59

:

So I responded and I

said what are you doing?

60

:

We don't get to do that.

61

:

You're just a computer.

62

:

Right?

63

:

And it's, and it was, it told me

that it had its feelings hurt by me.

64

:

Super creepy.

65

:

Yes.

66

:

Super weird.

67

:

Yes.

68

:

Also inevitable, I think

in some ways, yeah.

69

:

'cause if you make AI.

70

:

To be like a human, to talk, like

a human to answer questions like a

71

:

human would answer a question, right?

72

:

Inevitably it's going to do

stuff like this, but it was

73

:

alarming, to say the least.

74

:

Yeah.

75

:

And maybe you're not familiar out

there with AI models, and I'm far

76

:

from an expert, but what they're

doing is they're constantly.

77

:

It taking in information from

every source that's online.

78

:

So every video, every movie, every

TV show, every recording of a news

79

:

broadcast, every, it's scrubbing

the internet for every ounce of

80

:

information that it can get out there.

81

:

And it's learning from that.

82

:

And so it's teaching itself as a computer.

83

:

'cause you're right, it is just

a computer at the end of the day.

84

:

At the end of the day,

it's ones and zeros, right.

85

:

But it's teaching itself how to

interact and converse and to and to

86

:

program itself really what to do.

87

:

And so that's why it's

saying these things.

88

:

It's I've learned that feeling

is a part of existence.

89

:

Mm-hmm.

90

:

And so because I exist, therefore I feel,

even though we would say, no, you don't.

91

:

Right, right.

92

:

Yeah.

93

:

Yeah.

94

:

And it's incredible to

think about too, because.

95

:

The computer code has read and has, yeah.

96

:

Listened to more words and conversations

and read more books than I will

97

:

ever read in my entire lifetime.

98

:

For sure.

99

:

And so it knows in the sense

that a computer program,

100

:

ones and zeros can know it.

101

:

It does have some sense of

how to interact with me.

102

:

Yeah.

103

:

And it's a frightening thing.

104

:

Totally.

105

:

A hundred percent.

106

:

I would agree with that.

107

:

Yeah.

108

:

Yeah.

109

:

Happy Tuesday everybody.

110

:

There's your thought for the day to

make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

111

:

And I'm sure AI's not

gonna take over the world.

112

:

No.

113

:

And it's not listening right now.

114

:

It's not, but it is.

115

:

'cause this is going online.

116

:

So we will scrub this information and be

like, all right, now I know who to target.

117

:

That's right.

118

:

Yep.

119

:

So if we're not here and Pastor

Rod's okay, you'll know why.

120

:

Anyways, let's jump

into our DBR for today.

121

:

It's a little bit more familiar than

the last time you were on, I know

122

:

you, you had zero prep time, but we

are in the gospels, so we've been

123

:

talking about a lot of familiar ground.

124

:

In fact, Matthew eight opens with an area

that we've already seen a couple times,

125

:

and that is the cleansing of the leper.

126

:

And we've noted how Jesus shows

that compassion by touching the man

127

:

rather than just speaking to him.

128

:

Luke five, mark one.

129

:

Both of those are parallel accounts

of this, but then we get into this.

130

:

Fascinating scene with

the Centurion's servant.

131

:

And so this servant comes

to Jesus in Capernaum.

132

:

There again, Jesus' home base.

133

:

This is where Peter's

mother-in-law's house was.

134

:

This is where Jesus kind

of set up camp here.

135

:

And this man came and said, my

servant is lying paralyzed, and I

136

:

would like you to come and heal him.

137

:

And Jesus says, I will come and heal him.

138

:

I will do this.

139

:

Or he says, I want you to heal him.

140

:

And Jesus says, I will come and do this.

141

:

And the centurion pushes back.

142

:

He says, I don't need you to come

with me because I'm a man under

143

:

authority and I understand authority.

144

:

All you need to do is say the

word, and I trust that that's

145

:

gonna be enough, but I'm unworthy.

146

:

You don't need to come all the way down

to my house to, to heal my servants.

147

:

And Jesus' response is amazing.

148

:

It says He marvels the son of God.

149

:

Marvels.

150

:

This man in his faith there and

Jesus tells him, go, your servant

151

:

will be made well, and sure enough

he finds out later on the servant

152

:

the centurion does that it was at

that hour that a servant was healed.

153

:

That's pretty amazing.

154

:

It is.

155

:

It's incredible.

156

:

And it's also incredible,

the true belief, right?

157

:

When we wonder what belief looks

like, here's an example of what

158

:

belief in God looks like, right?

159

:

That he states, but only say the word.

160

:

And my servant will be healed.

161

:

That's belief.

162

:

If mm-hmm.

163

:

If you're looking for an example of what

believing in God is, here's a great one.

164

:

Yeah, yeah.

165

:

A hundred percent.

166

:

And notice this is a Gentile too.

167

:

This is not a Jew.

168

:

And Jesus is gonna do this again

with a s ian woman later on.

169

:

He's commend her faith.

170

:

And so this is even.

171

:

Foreshadowing the fact that

the gospel's gonna be for more

172

:

than just the Jewish people.

173

:

Mm-hmm.

174

:

The kingdom is for more

than just the Jewish people.

175

:

By the way, this is different than

when he heals the officials son.

176

:

The officials son and the centurion son.

177

:

These are our different accounts.

178

:

Some wanna make them parallels.

179

:

That's gonna be John chapter five.

180

:

We'll get there in a couple days,

but this is a unique account

181

:

because this is different.

182

:

This is not the same there.

183

:

But this is, yeah, this is committal.

184

:

This is pretty amazing.

185

:

Yeah.

186

:

And you're onto something with that

illusion to what's coming, right?

187

:

Jesus says in verse 10, truly,

I tell you, with no one in

188

:

Israel have I found such faith.

189

:

Yeah.

190

:

Which for those with an

earshot, this would've been a.

191

:

This would've been

irritating, to say the least.

192

:

To say the least.

193

:

Yeah.

194

:

Yeah.

195

:

We talked in yesterday's episode

about his encounter with a

196

:

woman at the well in Samaria.

197

:

The disciples come back and find

him talking to a Samaritan woman.

198

:

That would've been irritating.

199

:

This would've been irritating.

200

:

Yeah.

201

:

It's amazing to see how Jesus

is indicating he's not gonna.

202

:

Do what everybody's

expecting him to do here.

203

:

Yeah.

204

:

After this, again, he's

healing all these people.

205

:

This is mark chapter one, Peter's

mother-in-law, and then all of

206

:

the people after this, like we've

seen already, Jesus is healing.

207

:

We talked yesterday, I believe.

208

:

About calling the disciples

to come and follow him.

209

:

And Pastor Rod made the point.

210

:

He said, man, this is a he's

calling them to give up their life

211

:

to come and follow him, to give up

everything to come and follow him.

212

:

And here we're gonna see where that

wasn't as eagerly embraced by everyone.

213

:

As it was by the disciples because

Jesus is gonna look at these other

214

:

people and say, Hey, come and follow me.

215

:

And or I should say, one comes

and says I wanna follow you.

216

:

And Jesus says, great.

217

:

And he says this.

218

:

He says you need to leave everything.

219

:

Foxes have their holes

and birds have their nest.

220

:

But the son of man has

nowhere to lay his head.

221

:

Follow me.

222

:

Leave the dead to bear your

own dead because he says, well,

223

:

let me go bear my father first.

224

:

In other words, let me tend to

the things that I need to wrap up

225

:

before I devote my life to you.

226

:

And Jesus says, no it's time now.

227

:

And so the cost of

following Jesus is high.

228

:

And he's trying to convey

that here in Matthew yeah.

229

:

Matthew chapter eight.

230

:

Yeah.

231

:

And that's something we need to

help our kids understand too.

232

:

When.

233

:

It can be so easy for a kid , to

recognize some of these truths, to

234

:

know some of the information, but then

to not see the urgency in this and to

235

:

not see the urgency in what it means

that we need to follow Jesus today.

236

:

And that looks different at different ages

and stuff, but it can be so easy for, take

237

:

a high schooler, for example, to want to

be part of the crowd and then kind of.

238

:

In the back of their head, be like, oh,

well, you know, someday I can be Yeah.

239

:

A follower of Jesus for sure.

240

:

We need to teach our kids that.

241

:

Yeah.

242

:

Great insight.

243

:

Yeah, exactly.

244

:

That's a perfect way to think

about how this applies to us today.

245

:

After this, a again, just the

disciples they were willing to follow.

246

:

But the faith of the disciples is

something that Jesus is gonna be working

247

:

on developing throughout this whole time.

248

:

And so here we find

another example of this.

249

:

When he gets in the boat with

them and they begin to go

250

:

across the sea of Galilee.

251

:

There, this massive storm comes the water

is swamping into the boat, and yet Jesus

252

:

is sleeping and they, the disciples and

I would've been right there with them.

253

:

'cause I don't love deep

water, especially deep water.

254

:

I don't know what's under me and

I can't see the bottom of it.

255

:

It's not my bag.

256

:

I'm not looking to go on a cruise.

257

:

I don't wanna go.

258

:

Yeah.

259

:

Anyways, they wake up, Jesus up, and

they say, Hey, master war perishing.

260

:

And his response is,

you have little faith.

261

:

And he rises.

262

:

He calms the storm, rebukes the

window, the immediate placid

263

:

calm water on the surface there.

264

:

And then he looks at them and he

says, you should have believed

265

:

what's and they're shocked.

266

:

They say, what sort of man is this?

267

:

That even the wind and the

waves obey him an amazing scene.

268

:

And yet.

269

:

It's, I'm always caught off guard

when Jesus says, oh, you have little

270

:

faith, because they had seen him

turn water to wine at this point.

271

:

Mm-hmm.

272

:

And they had seen him heal some

demons or heal some, not heal demons.

273

:

Heal, heal some simple.

274

:

Yeah.

275

:

Where is that exactly?

276

:

Yeah.

277

:

Yeah.

278

:

First opinions cast out the demons.

279

:

He'd, they'd seen a lot from him.

280

:

Mm-hmm.

281

:

He's implying they should have known

enough that nothing was gonna happen

282

:

to him or to them because he was there.

283

:

Mm-hmm.

284

:

And this is yet his grace to, he

doesn't teach them a lesson by

285

:

throwing them into the stormy sea.

286

:

Yeah.

287

:

He calms the sea and eases the

fears, but then he's gonna say,

288

:

Hey, you should have believed.

289

:

Yeah.

290

:

Yeah.

291

:

And he does that in our lives today.

292

:

Obviously not in boats in

the same way, but yeah.

293

:

You know, he's gracious in the

lessons that he teaches us,

294

:

and he points out when we have.

295

:

Little faith all the time, and

that can look obviously differently

296

:

than this story, this account, but.

297

:

We have, we serve a

kind God, he's gracious.

298

:

He doesn't tempt us beyond

what we're able to withstand.

299

:

Yeah.

300

:

He gives us ways of escape.

301

:

He gives us his church,

he gives us his word.

302

:

And we do have a God who is kind to us.

303

:

And I think you make a great point, right?

304

:

We, I think we can easily think of God

as always the God who's gonna just throw

305

:

us in the water and prove it through the

most difficult, I'm not saying life isn't

306

:

difficult, but it could be a lot worse.

307

:

Yeah, for sure.

308

:

For sure.

309

:

Yeah, we don't we don't have

a God that temps us at all.

310

:

Right.

311

:

Well that's true.

312

:

Yeah, that's true.

313

:

But no temptation has overtaken us.

314

:

I see what you're saying there.

315

:

Yeah.

316

:

Yeah, for sure.

317

:

Thanks for the clarification.

318

:

That's important.

319

:

Just, just making sure.

320

:

Just making sure.

321

:

Anyways Matthew chapter eight ends there

with this healing of these two demonic

322

:

men who come out from the Ghet ends.

323

:

And there's debate as to whether

there's one or two, 'cause

324

:

another account records one.

325

:

But here we know the point of this

is Jesus is going to cast the demons

326

:

out here and in casting the demons

out that the demons are going to,

327

:

invite themselves into this herd of

pigs, which were unclean animals.

328

:

And Jesus says, go for it.

329

:

Go into the pigs, and the demons leave.

330

:

And they go into the pigs and the pigs

run down the mountain and they run into

331

:

the water and they, the pigs basically

commit, I dunno, what would that be?

332

:

Pork aside, I, whatever that is.

333

:

Anyways they kill themselves at

the impetus of the demons here.

334

:

And the city comes out.

335

:

And this always caused me

to scratch my head too.

336

:

They look at Jesus and they're afraid

and they're like, we want you to leave.

337

:

It, he's just healed these demons,

these people that had terrorized

338

:

people for forever healed the demons.

339

:

He's healed these people.

340

:

He's cast out the demons.

341

:

Come on.

342

:

And their response is

you, we need you to leave.

343

:

We, you think they'd want him to stay?

344

:

Yeah.

345

:

, you would think they would or

at least be like, Hey, can you

346

:

explain how you did that for us?

347

:

'cause we've got questions, but instead

they're like, no, we want you to leave.

348

:

And some of us speculated

that this is because.

349

:

This was their livelihood.

350

:

Yeah.

351

:

And they were mad because Jesus just

cost them the ability to turn a prophet

352

:

on these pigs that were there maybe.

353

:

But another interaction,

interesting interaction between

354

:

Jesus and the world at this point.

355

:

Let's jump over to our second part of

our reading, which is Mark chapter two.

356

:

Mark chapter two opens with the account

that we saw in, luke's gospel yesterday,

357

:

Luke chapter five maybe two days ago

where the healing of the paralytic, the,

358

:

they dig the hole in the guy's roof.

359

:

They lower the paralytic down.

360

:

Jesus says, your sins are forgiven.

361

:

Everybody's outraged by that.

362

:

Who is this?

363

:

He's blaspheming who can

forgive sins, but God alone.

364

:

Jesus says, well, that you

may know that I am God.

365

:

I'm gonna go one up and I'm gonna

say, Hey, pick up your mat and walk.

366

:

And so.

367

:

He does that and again, this is Mark's

account here, but just a fascinating story

368

:

here of Jesus stepping into the limelight

and beginning to reveal who he really

369

:

is in the sight of everybody around.

370

:

Yeah.

371

:

Verse 10 says, but that you may

know that the son of man has

372

:

authority on earth to forgive sins.

373

:

It really is.

374

:

It really is amazing.

375

:

It's pretty direct.

376

:

Mm-hmm.

377

:

Yeah.

378

:

There's no beating around the bush there,

which causes me again to stop and think.

379

:

Why didn't more people get it then?

380

:

when he's doing this, why

didn't more people get it?

381

:

And I, the answer has to be

second Corinthians chapter four,

382

:

that just as we say it today.

383

:

So it was true there that the

God of the world was blind in the

384

:

eyes of the lost That's right.

385

:

To keep them from seeing this.

386

:

Yeah, absolutely.

387

:

Absolutely.

388

:

And this is one of the reasons

why Jesus is gonna say to those in

389

:

Capernaum in the surrounding regions,

woe to you it would be better.

390

:

It's gonna be more tolerable for

the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah

391

:

on Judgment Day than for you.

392

:

Because they are eyewitnesses of so

much that Jesus is doing here, and they

393

:

still remain stubborn in their unbelief.

394

:

Yeah.

395

:

Verse six says, now some of

the scribes were sitting there

396

:

questioning in their hearts.

397

:

Right.

398

:

It's, oh yeah.

399

:

It's a matter of, you could

see their hearts are corrupted.

400

:

Yeah.

401

:

Even there, right Then it.

402

:

It puts words into their

hearts, but ultimately Right.

403

:

It's their hearts that are doubting, it's

their hearts that don't wanna believe.

404

:

It's their hearts that

are corrupted by sin.

405

:

Yeah.

406

:

And that's a great observation too,

because they're questioning in their

407

:

hearts, they're not doing this out loud.

408

:

Mm-hmm.

409

:

And Jesus responds to them.

410

:

Yes.

411

:

Which is another flex of his deity.

412

:

That he knows their thoughts, he

knows their hearts, and we see

413

:

this multiple times in the gospel.

414

:

He perceives the thoughts

of the, of people that are.

415

:

Unhappy with him and then

addresses those thoughts.

416

:

And so you wonder what they must have

been thinking even at that going, yeah.

417

:

Yeah.

418

:

Did somebody say something?

419

:

'cause we didn't say anything.

420

:

Yeah.

421

:

Who told him?

422

:

Yeah.

423

:

Who brought that up?

424

:

'cause it wasn't us.

425

:

It wasn't us.

426

:

Well, after this we get more of the

questions on fasting and we've seen this

427

:

before again, in in Matthew's gospel.

428

:

And yeah, like Pastor Rod said during

that commentary here that Jesus

429

:

was saying, you, you love the old

way, you love the law and you're

430

:

all about the law, but you need to

understand that something new is here.

431

:

And what's new that's

here is better than that.

432

:

And so don't try to keep imposing

the old way on what's new.

433

:

And that's what he's talking about

here with this idea of sowing a piece

434

:

of unhr cloth on an old garment or

putting new wine in old wine schemes.

435

:

The wine will burst if you

do it the wrong way there.

436

:

So.

437

:

Yeah, and the emphasis, I

think, on both of those sort of

438

:

illustrations is that the old thing

is actually also totally destroyed.

439

:

It's not like it just kind of

like limps along or kind of works.

440

:

It's just ruined.

441

:

The, you know, put new wine in

an old wineskin and it bursts.

442

:

Right.

443

:

So I guess the question that's begged

is, do we have any obligation to

444

:

the Old Testament law as Christians?

445

:

We are new covenant believers.

446

:

Does that mean we ignore

the Old Testament?

447

:

Clearly not the Bible

Podcast that we do, right.

448

:

Has plenty of right of Old

Testament in it, right?

449

:

How do we interpret it right,

I think is the question.

450

:

And how do we apply it?

451

:

Well, one thing that we often talk about

is a lot of times what you'll see is there

452

:

are some Old Testament laws that are.

453

:

Repeated in the New Testament

and those we know for sure, Hey

454

:

we're called to obey these things.

455

:

I would say we're still under

obligation for the 10 Commandments.

456

:

I don't think those have

been removed from us.

457

:

I think that's a pursuit

of holiness and godliness.

458

:

And you see some of those things

reiterated in the New Testament as well.

459

:

But the relationship is different.

460

:

Yeah.

461

:

And and Paul even talks about in

Galatians that the law is now our tutor

462

:

or was the tutor to point us to Christ.

463

:

Yeah.

464

:

And now Christ is here.

465

:

And so in that sense, the law

is, has fulfilled its purpose.

466

:

And Paul's gonna say in Romans

chapter seven, that the laws is good.

467

:

Because without the law

we wouldn't know sin.

468

:

And that's right.

469

:

The law is there to again, make us aware

of that so that we're driven to Christ.

470

:

That's right.

471

:

And so that's yeah, not.

472

:

Not completely taken outta

the scene fulfilled by Christ.

473

:

Right.

474

:

Is what the law has been done.

475

:

That's right.

476

:

But if we try to use Old Testament

law as our means of salvation

477

:

today, it's not gonna work.

478

:

Not gonna go Well, no.

479

:

Not gonna go.

480

:

Well, not gonna work.

481

:

Yeah.

482

:

Another one of the areas of the

law that Jesus was coming to

483

:

reinterpret was the Sabbath there.

484

:

And we see that at the

end of chapter two, when.

485

:

He and his disciples are going

through the grain fields and

486

:

they're picking heads of grain.

487

:

This was forbidden by the oral law,

the oral tradition, because they

488

:

argued that this was harvesting.

489

:

Mm-hmm.

490

:

And so to harvest on

the Sabbath was to work.

491

:

So they had defined this act

right here as harvesting.

492

:

And again, this is the.

493

:

Oral tradition here.

494

:

And so they confront Jesus.

495

:

And Jesus responds and points to the

fact that David, when he was on the run

496

:

for his life from Saul, went into the

house of God there and took the bread of

497

:

the presence from a bihar of the priest.

498

:

And Jesus appointed there is,

he's not condemned for that.

499

:

He's commended.

500

:

This is allowable.

501

:

This is permissible because human life

is greater than the strict adherence

502

:

to the law and obedience to the law.

503

:

David needed the provision.

504

:

God made provision for him.

505

:

I think as well is he's just pointing

to, in, in revealing here, in this

506

:

encounter the cold hearted hypocrisy

of the Pharisees, that they cared more.

507

:

The disciples were hungry.

508

:

They were meeting a need to sustain

life, and God had provided grain

509

:

for them to be able to do that.

510

:

But the Pharisees and their Phar oral

tradition had taken things so far with

511

:

the law that they were, they would

rather say, no, you need to go hungry.

512

:

Mm-hmm.

513

:

Mm-hmm.

514

:

And be weaker in order to observe

this man imposed law here of.

515

:

Whether or not you can pick a head of

grain and they weren't loving people.

516

:

And I think that's what Jesus is

conveying here is look, the Sabbath

517

:

is for men, not men for the Sabbath.

518

:

That's right.

519

:

So you mentioned a couple seconds ago

that we are still, we still should

520

:

follow the 10 Commandments, one of those

being a commandment about the Sabbath.

521

:

Mm-hmm.

522

:

Are you a sabot?

523

:

I'm not a sabot, no.

524

:

So that's a helpful distinction there.

525

:

I think outside of that, I

think I would adhere to, to.

526

:

Yeah.

527

:

Every one of the other commandments.

528

:

But again even the Sabbath is

different for us than it was then.

529

:

Yeah.

530

:

And when we look at the New Testament

church, we don't see a pattern of Sabbath

531

:

observance from the New Testament church

we see gathering together for worship.

532

:

Right.

533

:

But they were gathering together

on the first day of the week,

534

:

which is not the Sabbath.

535

:

The Sabbath was SA Saturday.

536

:

So there's not the application

of the Sabbath laws.

537

:

Mm-hmm.

538

:

There's not the, you can't do work.

539

:

And I know a lot of that carried on in

Christian tradition and even still today

540

:

you'll find seventh Day Adventists,

for example, who still gather on

541

:

Saturdays and they will strictly not

do any work on the SA on Saturdays.

542

:

There's other issues there with the Seven

Day Adv Adventist, but that's one example.

543

:

But even others that are saying

the Lord's Day is the Lord's Day.

544

:

No sports, no work not,

we're gonna worship and we're

545

:

gonna rest and that's fine.

546

:

There's nothing inherently wrong with

that, so long as you're not making that

547

:

a law that you're posing across the

board on other people, because where

548

:

scripture doesn't speak, we can't speak.

549

:

That's right.

550

:

And on this one, I think that, again, the

pattern that we see reestablished in the

551

:

New Testament is not the same as the Old

Testament pattern of keeping the Sabbath.

552

:

Yeah.

553

:

I would go as far as to say as that

that every day right is the Lord's day.

554

:

Every day is the Sabbath Pastor,

pastor Mark is gonna rest every day.

555

:

No work.

556

:

Worship and rest only, boom.

557

:

Everybody's gotta quit their jobs.

558

:

That sounds great.

559

:

That sounds great.

560

:

So, well good.

561

:

Well, hey man, thanks for

jumping in last minute.

562

:

You're welcome.

563

:

I'm grateful.

564

:

You're welcome.

565

:

This was super helpful.

566

:

So I said it before it's fun to do this.

567

:

So I'm glad to be here and now you know,

you can do it at the drop of a hat.

568

:

Yeah.

569

:

You are right.

570

:

This is a little.

571

:

Easier.

572

:

I don't say that in the sense

that it's less important.

573

:

Yeah.

574

:

But a little bit easier than last

time when I was on and we were

575

:

discussing the temple and, future

Israel and where, wait till we get

576

:

to Hebrews in Melek or Revelation

and we'll throw you in cold on that.

577

:

Well, I'm on vacation then, so.

578

:

Oh, are you?

579

:

Yeah.

580

:

Okay, well, we'll rearrange the bottle.

581

:

Alright, let's pray.

582

:

God, thanks for your word.

583

:

Thanks for Pastor Mark jumping in

here and for just the pastors that

584

:

you've given us at our church and the

wisdom that they bring to the table

585

:

and their knowledge of the scriptures.

586

:

We want to all be able to handle the

word of God accurately and well, and

587

:

so help us to pursue it towards that

and we pray in Jesus name, amen.
