Hey, everybody.

2

Welcome to Monday's edition

of the daily Bible podcast.

3

Hope you're having a great Monday.

4

Pastor Rod's thrown his bookmarks at me.

5

I man, I see.

6

That's a, that's a downside of

having a physical book because

7

you need physical bookmarks.

8

And then they fall out and cause

what I have is, is really cool.

9

Stand it is my son.

10

My son bought me.

11

Yeah.

12

That's exactly what it is.

13

Thank you, son.

14

I love this thing.

15

And so, I mean, I use it all the time.

16

It's it was a great gift idea.

17

Uh, so it slants my book toward me,

which I love it's my Bible now, which

18

is my computer's right next to it.

19

But the downside is that I

have like 13 bookmarks in here.

20

Cause our Bible reading plan

has us all over the Bible.

21

It does.

22

So I'm having difficulty

keeping my bookmarks inside.

23

That's a downside there perhaps Sunday,

someday you can get that rebound and

24

you can have them add more ribbons.

25

That's that's what I want.

26

My perfect Bible is high quality

leather all the way around.

27

Yep.

28

Uh, from, from a cow or a calf that I

would have personally known and named.

29

Yep.

30

And then from that cows innards or

outwards, depending on what's available.

31

All my ribbons are made from the cow.

32

So for the, for the outside and the inside

there's Gubbins, you've gone too far.

33

What's wrong with that.

34

I don't want to waste any part of it.

35

I'm just saying it would be nice to

have the whole thing, be a unified cause

36

it's like the Bible is one story, right?

37

So if it's one cow, one cat.

38

And it's the sinews or the, I mean, if

it works, I don't know if that's ever

39

been tried, but I wouldn't mind strings.

40

In the past, I don't know about bookmarks.

41

I just want a high quality Bible.

42

I mean, I got one, I actually have

several, this one is my favorite so far.

43

I've loved having these inner linear,

not in your linear interleaved,

44

inner leaves is what I meant to say.

45

Thank you.

46

Yeah.

47

These pages in between are so nice.

48

I just like this.

49

Yeah.

50

Well, good.

51

I'm glad I'm happy for you.

52

Thank you.

53

Uh, thanks for, thanks for

bringing attention through that.

54

Speaking of Bible.

55

Hey, your wife preached

our women on a Saturday.

56

How'd that go?

57

Yeah, dude, the spirit came down in

tongues of fire and people were what?

58

You don't think that happened.

59

Okay.

60

Yeah.

61

So I did debrief with her.

62

She was grateful that it's over.

63

It's that sense of relief

when you're done right.

64

Ah, yeah, because you bear the

weight of it leading up to the

65

event and when it's done, it's done.

66

And it just feels like, oh,

thank you, God that it's over.

67

Yeah.

68

So she's, uh, she's wrapped

up and she's thankful, and I

69

heard good things about it.

70

So we'll, we'll see.

71

I'm sure it takes a couple of

days for people to kind of weigh

72

in on their thoughts about that.

73

So we'll see, she's grateful

for the opportunity.

74

Awesome.

75

Awesome.

76

Yeah.

77

Yeah.

78

Preaching is one of those things

that there is a relief to it.

79

And the only way to, to get better

at preaching is doing it more.

80

And it's.

81

I w I was telling someone the other day,

the reward for good work is more work.

82

Yep.

83

So if you preach well and you do it well,

I mean, if the, well enough, then usually

84

it's going to be more added to your plate.

85

Like let's give you

some more reps at that.

86

Right.

87

That's good.

88

Let's do it some more.

89

Right.

90

So if it's, if it's not

something you want to do, don't

91

accept the first offer, right?

92

Yeah.

93

The other day my son was asking me

how many times, how many sermons

94

I think I've preached in my life.

95

So I've been doing, hold on.

96

Let's take a guess.

97

Yeah.

98

Let.

99

Okay, everyone take a guess.

100

I know you're listening.

101

How many sermons has passed to repeat?

102

So when did you start ministry?

103

2006, 2006.

104

It's 2024.

105

So let's just call it

what, 15, 16 years to do.

106

Uh, 20, 20 years.

107

18.

108

Yeah.

109

1818 years.

110

Uh, there's 52 weekends.

111

Uh, Every weekend though,

not preach every weekend.

112

Probably.

113

Probably an average of

maybe 40 weekends a year.

114

40.

115

Okay.

116

We'll see you tip your hat.

117

You've tipped your hat now.

118

Well, Well, but there's a,

there's a wrench that I'm

119

gonna throw in there, so, okay.

120

Okay.

121

So, okay.

122

Let's all take a guess.

123

Everyone got one.

124

Okay.

125

Let's all.

126

Say it together on the

count of 3, 3, 2, 1.

127

75 75 sermons.

128

Yeah, a little bit more than that.

129

Alright.

130

Uh, no, I, the wrench in there is

I preach for both men's Bible study

131

and college ministry for five years.

132

That's right.

133

And that multiplies to different sermons.

134

That's right.

135

So that one, I guessed about

400 sermons just in five years

136

doing those two more than 75.

137

Yeah.

138

So somewhere probably around 1500 sermons.

139

Wow.

140

And okay.

141

Aspiring preachers want to know.

142

What tips do you have?

143

Get as many reps as you can, like,

if this is what you want to do, then

144

get as many reps as you can, because

that's the only way, like you're not

145

going to get better in a classroom.

146

Um, and, and that's.

147

It's not that that

homiletics classes are bad.

148

Homologous classes are good.

149

You should go and buy homiletics.

150

Great.

151

Yeah.

152

And glass right.

153

They can teach you how to craft a sermon.

154

They can teach you.

155

You know what to do and what not

to do, but there's no replacement

156

for the reps in the pulpit.

157

You got it.

158

You just gotta do it.

159

Yeah.

160

Yeah.

161

Still now.

162

I find myself after a sermon kind of

going, okay, I should have done this.

163

I shouldn't have done that.

164

And, and thinking about things, but yeah.

165

That does speak to getting good feedback

too, because sometimes, you know, we're

166

our own best critics, a lot of the times.

167

And sometimes we're also

our own worst critic.

168

Yep.

169

We're not even handed with ourselves.

170

You're not seeing it objectively.

171

So having a third party when we'd have

our sermon reviews of pastor Mike and

172

those blood baths, where the best ever.

173

They were hurt, so good.

174

Yeah.

175

I mean red all over your sermon page.

176

If that was what pastor, pastor

Mike did, he would watch her videos.

177

He would pause and say,

why are you doing that?

178

Why.

179

Did you say that?

180

What did you mean by that?

181

Yeah.

182

Why aren't you doing that

thing with your face?

183

Why did you do.

184

Why'd you do that?

185

Illustration?

186

Yeah, it was so awful.

187

It hurts.

188

So, and then he would invite

people around the table to listen.

189

And, and, and watch the spectacle.

190

And I knew it was helpful.

191

It was still helpful to even

see him do it with other people.

192

So I knew that that was intentional.

193

It was, it was a good hurt.

194

It was from a, yeah, it was from a

fatherly perspective, which was good.

195

Totally.

196

The worst is when he would pause and go.

197

Okay, man, what do you guys think

about what he just said there?

198

Oh, yeah.

199

Yeah.

200

It's because nobody wants to go

to church because they're peer,

201

because they've been there.

202

I was the stupidest thing I ever heard.

203

I didn't see the point.

204

Yeah.

205

Yeah, that was it.

206

It was tough, but that was

some of my best learning.

207

It was all my best, like,

oh, that's a good point.

208

Why do I do that kind of thing?

209

Yeah.

210

So get, get the reps in, but also have

someone who knows that they're doing.

211

Cut it, cut it apart and

say, do this, don't do that.

212

Try this.

213

Don't try that.

214

In listen to a lot of good preaching and

I put that qualifier in there because

215

not just a lot of preaching a lot.

216

Pastor ever.com.

217

You can find the links to pastor BJ's.

218

Yeah, no, but, but don't go out there

and listen to, in other words, don't

219

go out there and listen to Joel Olsteen

however, Uh, in my, I did, I didn't do

220

a preaching class, but I did the cohort.

221

And Navy and I, I, and

you listen to pastor.

222

Well, I put him on and I also put on a

Steven Furtick from elevation church.

223

Not because they're they're good passers.

224

They're not they're.

225

They're horrible.

226

Pastors.

227

They're false sheep are faults.

228

Yeah.

229

They're false sheep.

230

But what I wanted the guys in

the room to look at and see is

231

what makes them so appealing.

232

Yeah.

233

Th they command a stage.

234

They command a room.

235

They come in tens of thousands of people.

236

Y.

237

Yeah.

238

And there are some things that we can

pull from that to say, well, I mean,

239

O'Steen is a, is a very approachable guy.

240

He, he speaks in a way.

241

You want to listen to, and

he's easy to listen to.

242

There's something to take away from that.

243

Right.

244

I mean, that doesn't have anything to

do is content, its contents garbage.

245

Yeah.

246

But there's something about that

approachability that's like, okay.

247

Um, You know, verdicts an intense guy

in any commands, the stage he uses

248

the stage really well, lots around it

uses mannerisms and things like that.

249

Like.

250

He does that?

251

Well, people like to watch

that because it's enjoyable.

252

It's the attrical in a good sense.

253

Not in a, you know, over

the kill type sense.

254

Yeah.

255

I can just contents awful.

256

Right.

257

But there's something to be

learned even there in that content.

258

Some of the best communicators are

false teachers ever noticed that.

259

Yeah.

260

And what a shame.

261

What would that God raise a lot of

godly men who can know the scriptures

262

as they're supposed to be taught.

263

And use communication to its

highest and greatest usefulness.

264

Now, some people would say, pastor

PJ, that's just the atrics de yes.

265

Being pragmatic.

266

It's shouldn't a password.

267

Just focus on saying what's on the page.

268

And instead of trying to be enjoyable or

funny or communicating in clever ways.

269

Yeah.

270

And there's a measure to that.

271

I mean, So often that

comment is followed up with.

272

You know, cause Paul said, I just

tried to know nothing and I'm

273

like, I didn't come with eloquence

or fancy words or anything else.

274

Exactly.

275

And, and yet he was able to walk

among the stoic philosophers.

276

Uh, you know, on Mars hill and

engage with them, quoting poets

277

and you know, all these certain

he's educated clearly, right.

278

And their, and their education.

279

Right.

280

For sure.

281

And when Peter stands up on the

day of Pentecost and when he's,

282

you know, commanding thousands of

people in, in Jerusalem, there.

283

Th, you know, there was something about

that, that the spirit enabled him to

284

have a delivery in a way about him

that, that people wanted to listen to.

285

So I, I, I don't think it's theatrical.

286

It can become that.

287

But that that's where I would go

back to listen to the content of

288

the guy who you're listening to you.

289

And if the contents biblical, then you

should appreciate the fact that his

290

he's not up there trying to just present

it in a blah, you know, paper bag.

291

But he's, he's trying to

say this is important and.

292

We can adorn the message by speaking

well, Um, as we deliver the message.

293

Yeah, I think of John Piper,

again, one of my favorites.

294

I'm sure you guys know this, but he, uh,

he has a book called, uh, I think speaking

295

beautifully or saying beautifully,

something like that, something like that.

296

Such a good.

297

I mean, he thinks carefully

about sentences and phrases.

298

And says things in a way that

like, okay, that's going to stick.

299

I, that's a great way to

say that that's helpful.

300

So yeah, it matters.

301

You can overdo it and

become a philosopher.

302

You can become someone who's

promoting yourself by saying,

303

oh, look how eloquent I am.

304

Look how creative I am.

305

Or you can be a messenger of

the gospel that is faithful.

306

And still trying to say

it in a fruitful way.

307

Right?

308

In your favorite preachers are,

are probably ones that, that

309

give attention to their delivery.

310

And so often you'll hear the thing.

311

Jonathan Edwards gave sinners in the

hands of an angry God in a monotone.

312

We don't know that that's a, that's a

legend that has emerged, but there's

313

nobody on the scene that can say with

certainty that that's what happened.

314

He gave it just monotone

and he didn't look up.

315

He just read his delivery.

316

John MacArthur has been noted to have

said, and I have this on good authority.

317

I'm pretty sure I've

heard him say this myself.

318

That when he was growing grace

community church, now he was growing.

319

When the church was growing, right?

320

He would deliberately try not to be

exciting or energetic on the stage.

321

When he's preaching because he

didn't want it to be about him.

322

Right.

323

So he deliberately tried not

to be interesting and engaging.

324

What do you make of that?

325

Um, I love John MacArthur.

326

I hear me say that on the front end.

327

I love John MacArthur.

328

I went to master seminary.

329

I went to master college.

330

I wouldn't have had.

331

You got all your degrees

from the right undergrad.

332

Well, I got grad post-grad.

333

Yeah, my middle terminal degree.

334

My second degree I got from Dallas

seminary, but we don't want to take

335

elementary school at that school.

336

I did.

337

Yeah.

338

Yeah.

339

You're wearing a tie, but what's

interesting about that is.

340

Grace community church.

341

Say that to anyone on the

street and what name comes out?

342

MacArthur.

343

Yeah.

344

So there's a measure to which, like I

get it well, intentioned, but failed.

345

Like you.

346

He did make it about himself,

but for the right reasons

347

and what we're talking about.

348

He's an effective

communicator of God's word.

349

He exposes the text in a way that people

are like, I want to go listen to this guy.

350

Yeah.

351

There are plenty of faithful graduates

from a seminary that are pastoring,

352

smaller churches, all around Simi valley.

353

There.

354

In all around sun valley, rather.

355

And, and yet.

356

People aren't leaving

John to go to them, right.

357

Because they're drawn to

his, his communication style.

358

Um, some of you out there love listening

to John MacArthur and, and you know who

359

he is and you know, his voice and you

know, his presentation style guilty,

360

and he's not making it about himself.

361

He's, he's not at all not saying

that he is, but I'm saying.

362

You know, you can try to avoid that, but

it's it's, if you are a good communicator

363

of fateful content, people are going

to want to want to listen to it.

364

There's something to be said, too.

365

Not everybody can do what he does.

366

Right.

367

And that's just the truth, man.

368

Some people can read the Bible and

he could put you to sleep because of

369

their presentation and their delivery,

their inflections or lack thereof.

370

There is something to be

said about operating within

371

the area of restrengthened.

372

He just has a strength.

373

Of communicating.

374

Well, he's clear, he's articulate, he's

powerful and what he says and in how he

375

says it and how he explains the Bible.

376

Not everybody can do that.

377

Right.

378

And neither should you try John MacArthur,

John MacArthur, pastor Peter's, pastor

379

PJ, and you know, Piper's Piper.

380

BB you in the pulpit, but

try hard to be really good.

381

Paul says to Timothy, do your

best, your best, your hardest.

382

Give it your best shot to be a

man who is approved a worker who

383

has no need to be ashamed, rightly

handling the word of truth and right.

384

Handling is not just saying

what's there, but saying it well.

385

Yeah.

386

Yeah.

387

The Puritan writers.

388

I mean, the, the beautiful

eloquence of the Puritan writers.

389

So many.

390

Any of them were pastors.

391

Illustrious.

392

Yeah.

393

They wrote in, in such a phenomenal way,

compelling, thoughtful, clear, colorful.

394

I mean creative, so many good.

395

Yeah, they had.

396

They were so good at that.

397

You know, who else was decent at writing?

398

Isaiah?

399

Why don't we jump into

the daily Bible reading?

400

Let's do it.

401

Actually Isaiah's clutch.

402

He has, he's got a vocabulary

as wide as a dictionary.

403

This guy is so good.

404

He's got so many different.

405

He uses words and phrases that

other other writers are not using.

406

I mean educated.

407

And you might think because

he was inspired by the spirit.

408

However, the spirit use the personality

in the intellectual of the human

409

authors to bring their style to the

writings of, and that's why when you

410

go to the new Testament, for example,

The book of Hebrews, those that would

411

look at the book of Hebrews and go,

well, Paul wrote the book of Hebrews.

412

One of the reasons why we reject

that is the style is not Pauline.

413

Yeah.

414

Paul didn't have as refined

a style of the Greek language

415

as the writer of Hebrews did.

416

And so that's why some

people suggest, well, maybe.

417

Luke.

418

You know, Paula's or somebody else.

419

Right.

420

Yeah, we're just on the same page.

421

You're tracking amazing.

422

We are tracking Isaiah 28.

423

29 and 30.

424

I said 28, first six verses in this

section, Isaiah addresses Samarria

425

Samira the proud, the proud.

426

Proud.

427

I don't have words.

428

Uh, the proud crown of

the drunkards of samarium.

429

And so, uh, this is the, the,

the crown jewel of Israel.

430

So to speak the Northern kingdom.

431

Uh, versus five to six.

432

There's hope for the faithful remnant

though judgment was going to come

433

against Samir, but there's going to be

hope still for the faithful remnant.

434

Like we were talking about in

yesterday's episode with Hosea,

435

we see the themes here in Isaiah.

436

The Lord has contrast it to proud

Efrayim as the true crown of glory.

437

So notice that in this section, You've got

a Samir, the proud crown of the drunkards,

438

but then the Lord is the crown of glory.

439

And so there's a difference.

440

There's the contrast there.

441

Rest of chapter 28, then Isaiah

turns his focus to Jerusalem.

442

Uh, and, and so we knew that from verse

14, Because as he goes on here, it might,

443

you might think, well, this sounds like

he's still talking about some area.

444

They're still talking about the

Northern kingdom, but look at verse 14,

445

therefore hear the word of the Lord.

446

You scholars.

447

Who've ruled this people in Jerusalem.

448

So his attention is shifting

to the Southern kingdom here.

449

And in there, the word had also been

ignored by a people in love with

450

their fleshly loss and their comforts.

451

They had this false sense of security

because of their covenant with Egypt.

452

Uh, verse 15 of chapter 28,

because you have said we have made

453

a covenant with death and with

shield, we have an agreement with

454

the overwhelming wit passes through.

455

It will not come to us.

456

The trusting in Egypt, that's, what's

represented there by the covenant with

457

death is, is this idea of Egypt there.

458

And so in response to the Lord is

going to lay a cornerstone in Zion.

459

And that should sound familiar

because that's alluded to in

460

the new Testament as Jesus.

461

And that's who this is, and this

is this one, this cornerstone.

462

Is going to rule in

justice in righteousness.

463

He would be the judge.

464

Uh, against the people for the

prideful and self glorifying ways.

465

And, and there's a bit of a.

466

Uh, strange masher periods.

467

It's the near and the far, because

first is going to come judgment.

468

And then this, this cornerstone is

going to be there, but the cornerstone

469

is not going to rain until the future.

470

This is millennial kingdom.

471

Jesus.

472

That's in view here in the rest of Isaiah

28, there yet another encouragement

473

to read carefully, because if you're

not paying attention, you won't know

474

where you are in space and time.

475

For sure.

476

It's easy to read as Isaiah and kind

of lose track of where he's going.

477

So you have to read this.

478

Uh, at least I see a little more

slowly than what you might be used to.

479

Right.

480

And in one of the helpful

ways to do that is go, okay.

481

Let me think about what I know

to be true about the history

482

of Israel and maybe that's a.

483

Another resource for you to get.

484

It's just a good.

485

You know, history of God's

people, a history of Israel.

486

I know Eugene, Merrill's got

one called kingdom of priests,

487

which is a useful resource it's.

488

It's weighty again.

489

It's not it's a little

over the head, probably.

490

Yeah.

491

But.

492

But something to where you can

kind of get a snapshot of what

493

happened with God's people, the

history of the people of Israel.

494

And it doesn't survey old Testament survey

would be, yeah, it would be good to, yeah.

495

Ask yourself has this happened?

496

Okay.

497

This cornerstone has this king happen.

498

Has this, have I seen this

happen historically yet?

499

And if the answer is no,

then most likely it's.

500

Looking forward to the future.

501

It's looking for, to

the millennial kingdom.

502

That's a good barometer as you're

working through the profits.

503

Amen.

504

All right.

505

Chapter 29, then Ariel.

506

Pastor rod who's Ariel

besides the little mermaid.

507

Darn it.

508

I said I was going to go.

509

We're going.

510

Oh, okay.

511

Well now I have a funny punchline.

512

Ariel is, I mean, it's probably

most likely referenced to Israel,

513

Jerusalem, and it, it literally

probably means lion of God.

514

So lion of God, it's two words,

Ari and L L is always got that one.

515

We know El has got Sam U L um, is re L.

516

Every time you see L in the old Testament,

that's got a shorthand for Elohim, right?

517

Right.

518

Yeah, the first part is

a little more unsure.

519

Ari lion is probably what's in mind here.

520

So lion of God is the thought

and that's where you're getting

521

the word Ariel in this text.

522

Could also reference an altar as well.

523

Yes.

524

Yeah.

525

Yeah, but, uh, it does seem to apply

to Jerusalem contextually as we get

526

in here, whether that's the line

or the altar or whatever it may be.

527

Right.

528

I think it is clearly Jerusalem verses one

through 14 here, Jerusalem needed to be

529

reminded of whom they should truly fear.

530

It wasn't the nations who were a little

more than a fine dust that covers the

531

earth as the prophet says, rather,

they should fear the Lord who was going

532

to bring spiritual darkness upon them

through blinding the profits and the

533

Sears so that they would not be able to

find the Lord, even when they sought him.

534

This is similar to the famine of the

word in the land that, uh, they're not

535

going to hear from the Lord anymore.

536

And that darkness is going to come.

537

Second half of the chapter,

then verse 15 through 24.

538

There's going to come a great reversal.

539

Though when Jacob will no longer be

ashamed of the actions of his children,

540

instead, they're going to seek the Lord

and they're going to sanctify the Lord.

541

They're going to hold up

the load as holy again.

542

When did this take place

in Israel's history?

543

Wait a minute.

544

Uh, never.

545

Okay.

546

So what are we dealing with

in the second half chapter 29?

547

We're again, looking forward.

548

To the millennial kingdom there.

549

So.

550

Isaiah 29.

551

Uh, the judgment against the nations.

552

And the, uh, the future is

the hope of, uh, of the, the

553

millennial kingdom there as well.

554

Alright, Isaiah 31 through 17.

555

Judah had turned to Egypt.

556

Uh, rather than to the Lord in.

557

So chapter 30 we're shifting

Judah has now gone back to Egypt.

558

They're not listening.

559

They're not fearing the Lord.

560

They're not trusting in him.

561

They're they're going after

Egypt, the broken staph of Egypt,

562

they're going to be called later.

563

And that's going to prove to be

a foolish and tragic decision.

564

Egypt is facing her own troubles

that would not be able to help.

565

And on top of that, the people were

plugging their ears and refusing to

566

hear from the prophets of the Lord.

567

So y'all way was going to bring

sudden and great judgment upon them.

568

Um, and so that's the first

part of chapter 30 again, second

569

half a chapter 30, just like

second half a chapter, not 29.

570

What are we focused on?

571

We're focused on the millennial kingdom.

572

So in today's reading, there's a lot

of back and forth between the judgment

573

millennial kingdom judgment, millennial

kingdom judgment millennial kingdom.

574

It's important for us to

keep that view as a reading.

575

Right.

576

And I think that's a, that's

a really encouraging way that

577

God deals with his people.

578

That judgment is always promised,

but there's always followed up with.

579

And yet I'm going to restore.

580

I'm not going to judge.

581

I'm going to discipline for

the purposes of restoring N uh,

582

refining to be the people that

you were always designed to be.

583

This is why I can't help, but look at

this and say, God's not done with them.

584

Right.

585

It's just not, I can't read

this and say there I am there.

586

There's the new Testament church, right?

587

This is God with Israel first.

588

Sure.

589

Come on.

590

Come at.

591

Be covenant to LIS.

592

Come at me, bro.

593

They're going to, they're

going to bang down the door.

594

They're gonna come email me.

595

I dare you PJ.

596

At best pastor ever.com.

597

I dare you to keep

they're gonna come at you.

598

They're gonna take your

kids and go baptize them.

599

That's what they're gonna do.

600

I will unbaptized them.

601

All right.

602

Well, Hey, let me pray.

603

And then we'll be done

with this episode here.

604

God, thanks for this.

605

Uh, this context, thanks for the,

the, the, the message that of

606

hope that we have here in Isaiah.

607

And it's, it's a message.

608

It's hopeful for us too.

609

As we walk through valleys here, our

hope is not necessarily the millennial

610

kingdom that we'll get to be there,

but ultimately deliverance in being

611

with you and being absent from the

body to be present with the Lord.

612

And that's our hope because of the gospel.

613

And there's a hope coming to Israel

as well in the future because of the

614

gospel, like we talked about yesterday.

615

So we pray again, hasten that day.

616

And so we pray this in Christ's name.

617

Amen.

618

Amen.
