Hey everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast and

3

happy Lord's Day to you all.

4

Happy Lord's day.

5

It's Sunday.

6

In fact, it's a pretty significant

Sunday in the history of our church.

7

Wow.

8

Because.

9

This is the last Sunday

that you'll be preaching.

10

Rod: Hey guys, big announcements.

11

Pastor PJ's been promoted.

12

He's gonna be leading

Prestonwood from now on.

13

Yikes.

14

That mean.

15

Did you wanna tell him that right now?

16

PJ: Or did you wanna wait?

17

Yeah.

18

No, that was another, that was one of

those ones that we weren't gonna release.

19

'cause it's not not happening.

20

It's not public yet.

21

Yeah, not happening.

22

Not public yet.

23

We'll let you guys know

when it's ready to go.

24

No.

25

No.

26

It's our last Sunday at Founder

Frisco, so yeah, we are are you happy

27

Rod: or sad about that?

28

PJ: I, man I'm, I'll be honest.

29

I'm happy.

30

I'm excited.

31

You're not sad

32

Rod: at all.

33

PJ: I, this is since it's been home.

34

The nostalgia is there.

35

Yeah, for sure.

36

Of going, oh yeah.

37

This is where we got our start and it'll

always have that kind of special spot.

38

But it's kinda like when you're

moving out of one place where

39

you used to live for a while and

you've got the new place lined up.

40

And yet you haven't yet moved into the new

place and you're still in the old place.

41

Yeah.

42

And you're kinda looking around the

old place and you see all of the

43

stuff that you're not gonna miss.

44

You see all the dirt, you see all

the grime, you see all the stuff.

45

So it's a little bit of that.

46

But I wanna be fair, God has

blessed us with the facility that

47

we've had for the last two years.

48

Oh, for sure.

49

It has allowed us to really

get our feet under us to grow.

50

We've had great memories there.

51

It's been awesome and we're super

thankful for the administration

52

there locally at Founders Frisco and

just the way God opened those doors.

53

Those of you listening from outside

our area, those in California, you

54

guys understand this, but it's the same

here, that in that a lot of the public

55

schools will lease space to churches,

but they won't lease classrooms.

56

They won't allow, for example, our

kids' ministry uses classrooms at

57

founders in Frisco and will again

up here in Founders and Prosper.

58

A lot of the public schools say.

59

No, you can't have any classroom space.

60

You're gonna have to use the gymnasium

and just divide it up or whatever.

61

So God really opened a door for us to

land at founders in Frisco and gave

62

us classroom usage and facility usage.

63

That has been a huge win,

and so it has been awesome.

64

It's the end of this chapter

of who we are as a church.

65

As we turn the page next week we'll be

at Founders in Prosper, and it's just,

66

it's a little bit of a bigger facility.

67

It's a newer facility.

68

It just sets us up a little bit

better, I think to grow as we

69

move forward into the future.

70

Rod: Yeah, I think I'm gonna miss

a lot of what I mean, this is,

71

it's the nostalgia it gets me.

72

I was nostalgic probably at 12 years old.

73

I just had that sense built in

where I'm like, oh, this is sad.

74

It's a new season.

75

We've had it pretty good.

76

PJ: Yeah,

77

Rod: I mean in terms of what we were

told to expect and how challenging

78

things could be and how, the people

and the challenges of planting and

79

maybe because we came out together,

that really helped to keep us afloat.

80

Yeah.

81

But we've had it pretty good.

82

I'm just gonna say it.

83

We've been really blessed of the Lord

and we're not looking down on that.

84

We're not asking the Lord

to change that at all.

85

Please hear me say that, Lord.

86

Knocking on plastic wood over here.

87

I'm just saying it's been really good,

88

PJ: so that's awesome.

89

It's been a great time.

90

Yeah, no, I agree.

91

I agree.

92

Also, how dare you accuse my

Amazon desk of being plastic wood?

93

It looks pretty plasticky.

94

Yeah, that's fair.

95

You just didn't need to call it out.

96

Rod: Okay.

97

PJ: It looks like wood

from a distance for sure.

98

The appearance of it's got the, it's

got the strong appearance of wood.

99

Man, as far as desks are

concerned, looks at the outside.

100

Oh God.

101

But apparently

102

Rod: you look at the inside.

103

I care about the inside.

104

That's true.

105

PJ: Yeah.

106

Rod: Mine's bamboo.

107

Is that considered wood still?

108

Oh, yeah.

109

Yeah.

110

It's wood.

111

PJ: It's a what do they call that?

112

It's not recyclable.

113

It's a, it's compostable.

114

Sustainable.

115

Sustainable.

116

It's a sustainable resource because

it grows like wildfire oh, yeah.

117

That's why they use it in a

lot of like hardwood floors.

118

Now you'll see people use bamboo

because it's supposed to be, oh, I

119

didn't know that Environmentally.

120

Kind and

121

Rod: no, I like the light color.

122

I expected it to be really light,

but it wasn't when I picked it up.

123

No.

124

Which is why I'm glad Mike Clemente

made my desk and not my, not me.

125

PJ: Yeah.

126

No, that's true.

127

It was dense.

128

It

129

Rod: was

130

PJ: dense.

131

Very dense.

132

Yeah.

133

Rod: Yeah.

134

PJ: Alright, Sunday, hey

you're off starting tomorrow.

135

So you're still gonna hear his voice

on the next couple of episodes of

136

the podcast here Monday and Tuesday.

137

But be praying for Pastor

Rod and his family as they're

138

gonna be taking some time away.

139

Just a week.

140

Spend some time with friends.

141

Yeah.

142

Just a week.

143

Rod: Don't get don't get too used to it.

144

Yeah.

145

Just for, it's a little, it's a breath of

fresh air before we jump into the summer.

146

Then we got two weeks in the

summer, and then you got a couple

147

weeks in the summer coming up.

148

I

149

PJ: do, man.

150

I can't wait.

151

I'm, it's gonna be a good time.

152

I'm there.

153

You're ready, Lord.

154

Rod: You're ready.

155

And I'm covering the pulpit

for you for two weeks and Lord

156

knows what I'm gonna preach.

157

Hopefully Jonah and Micah.

158

We'll see.

159

That's what we said.

160

I don't know

161

PJ: if I fully agree to it.

162

We'll see.

163

Yeah.

164

On that note we do kick off a new

series, our summer series Today.

165

That's true.

166

Today we're

167

Rod: kicking off the minor,

majoring in the minors.

168

Majoring in the minors.

169

The minor profits have major

truths or something like that.

170

Major from minor profits.

171

Dude, you got really in touch with your.

172

Inner slim Shady.

173

Your m inner Eminem.

174

Yeah.

175

I was impressed by the

creativity that I saw.

176

I was like, wow, he's

turned over a new leaf.

177

I'm trying.

178

I'm working.

179

I'm working.

180

Now.

181

If you came dressed as a hip

hop artist tomorrow, today.

182

Today, yeah.

183

Church.

184

PJ: Yeah.

185

Rod: That would be even better

186

PJ: in Alma Drip.

187

Yeah.

188

No, but one of our goals in this

is that we'd love to have a word

189

or phrase that you associate with

every one of the minor profits.

190

So by the end, you can roll through

them and go, oh yeah, this is this.

191

The word for Hosea is

gonna be, oh, don't say it.

192

Don't say it.

193

Oh, no, that's not that word.

194

No, it's not that word.

195

Okay.

196

It's no.

197

It's not that

198

Rod: word E on our podcast here.

199

PJ: No.

200

The word for Jose is gonna be redemption.

201

Rod: Oh, okay.

202

PJ: So when you think

about Jose, that think

203

Rod: about redemption, there's

another word that I thought of

204

that was also equally different.

205

Different word, equally suggestible.

206

PJ: Yeah.

207

But we would love for that because

again, part of the goal of the series

208

is that you'll walk away from each week

knowing the core message of the book.

209

And so we want a word that, or a phrase

that's gonna help you identify and hold

210

onto the core message of that book.

211

So Hosea Redemption, we'll

be jumping into that today.

212

Let's get into our daily Bible reading.

213

First Chronicles chapter 23 through 25.

214

This is David's Life Winding Down.

215

And it's, yeah, this is him organizing

everything so you'll remember.

216

I think I.

217

Our last time we were in First Chronicles

we were looking at how he was setting

218

things up for Solomon's success.

219

And and David does that and

continues to do that here.

220

And the way he does that here is he sets

out to organize all of the officials

221

that are gonna be necessary for Solomon

to complete the temple and also to have

222

the temple operate the way it needs to.

223

So David's gonna organize here

and set up the Levites, and he's

224

also gonna set up the singers.

225

And so this is a lot of him still

preparing for making his son's life.

226

Easier.

227

And so this is something

commendable, I think about David.

228

David cares about Solomon's success.

229

He cares about the next generation.

230

David's not there just to say

my life is ending, so what does

231

it matter what the future holds?

232

He's sitting there saying, my life may

be ending, but Solomon, you've got some

233

significant work to do in front of you.

234

And so he wants to set

up his son for success.

235

And so there's principles that we can

take away from that as parents to say.

236

For that next generation we need to

care more about, not just are they gonna

237

matriculate their way through school

and graduate school, and maybe they'll

238

go to trade school, maybe they'll get

a job, maybe they'll go to college.

239

But the more important thing is

spiritually, are we setting up that

240

next generation, spiritually speaking?

241

Are we investing in them?

242

Are we giving them what they need?

243

Doing everything in our power

to make sure that they're set up

244

for success in the eyes of God.

245

'cause that's what ultimately

matters is whether or not

246

they come to faith in Christ.

247

And now can we change that as parents?

248

No, we can't.

249

But can we do everything possible to put

them in the way of the gospel to make

250

sure that they're hearing the gospel, that

they're learning God's word, that they're

251

at church as much as they possibly can be.

252

Yeah.

253

A hundred percent we can.

254

And you as mom and dad,

you've got the power.

255

You've got the leverage.

256

As long as they're under your roof and

eating your food to make sure that they

257

are gonna be there and be present and

hear the word preached and hear the

258

gospel and you have the opportunity to

say, Hey, we're gonna meet together.

259

And get coffee together and

talk about the Bible together.

260

You, you can do those things and

care about their future wellbeing.

261

And so even though this is David

organizing the Levites and the

262

singers and things, and we read

this and we're kinda like oh, okay.

263

I think the principle is there that we

need to care about the next generation.

264

Rod: Yeah, absolutely.

265

In fact, I would add to that,

you'll notice in, in David's

266

approach here, I think he's

tackling it in odor of priority.

267

He starts in chapter 23 with the

Levites, and so you have a long list

268

of different names and families, and

he arranges the people that are gonna

269

support the ongoing worship of Judah.

270

And he says, we need to make sure that you

guys are appropriated first and foremost.

271

And so his main concern, he'll get to

the military later in a couple chapters.

272

It looks like the gatekeepers

chapter 26, and on.

273

So chapter 27, he will get

to the divisions of military,

274

the leaders of the tribes.

275

So that's chapters away from now.

276

He's taking care of first

things first, and this.

277

Is a totally appropriate

David's heart is for the Lord.

278

Remember, he was a man

after God's own heart.

279

This is the man who was the

prototype of the future Messiah.

280

And so appropriately, his concern, first

and foremost, even for Solomon, is that

281

Solomon gets his religious affairs in

order, and so he's setting everything up.

282

He's arranging the table so that

Solomon can feast on this particular

283

meal that he's setting up here.

284

So I think it's really good for us to see

that he's establishing the first things

285

first and our families need to see that.

286

Our churches need to see that our

churches should be one of the.

287

First things first that we put into our

family schedule and calendar because this

288

is what mattered to the David that was

prior to Jesus our new and better David.

289

Now, a couple of notes here,

just fact, in fact, one note.

290

You'll notice if you're paying

close attention in chapter 23, verse

291

three, he says here, the Levites, 30

years old and upward were numbered,

292

and the total was 38,000 men.

293

Okay, move on over in your Bible and

look at verse 27 for, by the last

294

words of David, the sons of Levi were

numbered from 20 years old and upward.

295

What gives there?

296

So I did some digging and

here's what I've come up with.

297

It looks like David at one time

said 30 and at another time said 20.

298

And in part, probably because he addressed

an associate or assessed the need for

299

Israel and said, we need more Levites.

300

And so we're gonna lower the threshold

of the age to allow for more of these

301

young men to serve in this capacity.

302

Now, the priest, it still looks like

we're older, but in terms of Levites,

303

remember all priests were Levites,

but not all Levites were priests.

304

So the Levites are the helping force.

305

They're the they're the.

306

Service arm of the worship.

307

And so they're here to, set up

and tear down the, they're those

308

people setting up chairs perhaps.

309

And so David is saying, we

need more helpers, we need more

310

workforce, and therefore we're gonna

lower the age in the threshold.

311

Hey, by the way, we have a setup and

tear down team, and we'd like to lower

312

the age and of our threshold as well.

313

If you're a young man who would

like to help us set up and

314

tear down, this is for you.

315

Chapter 23 of First

Chronicles is up your alley.

316

We could use your young, vibrant muscles

to help us set up and tear down things.

317

So if this chapter reaches out

to you at all, there it is.

318

I.

319

PJ: That's a great plug.

320

Man.

321

That was seamless.

322

It was just awesome.

323

It was right in there.

324

It almost like we planned it

almost like that, but we did it.

325

Yeah.

326

It's interesting because in, in this,

you're reading through this going, okay,

327

all these duties and this person was gonna

serve connection to the New Testament in

328

Luke chapter one, when the angel shows

up to Zechariah to tell him about the

329

birth of John the Baptist, Zachariah

is fulfilling his Levitical duty.

330

He's doing what David is organizing here.

331

Good.

332

Yeah.

333

That's great.

334

And and so that's a connection there

to the life of Christ through the

335

life of John the Baptist there.

336

Yeah.

337

This is good.

338

I wonder if some of this even led

to Solomon's ability to have the

339

good request that he makes of God

when God says, what do you need?

340

It's almost as though some of this is

David does such a good job setting his son

341

up for success, that Solomon really had

the luxury to sit back and say, okay, God.

342

I don't need the Levites organized.

343

I don't need.

344

The supplies to the temple.

345

'cause my dad took care of all that.

346

Here's what I need.

347

I need wisdom.

348

I need wisdom to be able to do

the job that's in front of me.

349

So please grant me wisdom.

350

And there's probably more to that, but

I have to imagine at least some of this.

351

He didn't feel the tyranny of the urgency

to God say, okay, God, I need this.

352

I need this.

353

'cause David had done such a good job

to care for a lot of those anticipated

354

needs that he was gonna have.

355

Rod: And again, I just wanna

reiterate this is because David's

356

a man after God's own heart.

357

Yeah.

358

Sadly, this does not carry

through to all of his sons.

359

Some of his sons do carry that thread.

360

But sadly not all of them.

361

And I guess one thing, one thing

that ought warn us about is

362

that a godly heritage is not.

363

Taken for granted, right?

364

It is not something that you should

just assume is gonna be passed down just

365

because you're a God-fearing person.

366

It takes a lot more than that.

367

We should be praying

for our church families.

368

We should be praying for their

kids and their kids' kids.

369

I pray often for my kids' grandkids.

370

Yeah.

371

Thinking generations down the

line should the Lord Terry.

372

Yeah.

373

I would love for them to say, man we.

374

We were people of the book.

375

We continued as the Gomez family grew,

or whatever names that my daughters

376

inherit later when they get married.

377

I want our families to

be families of the book.

378

People who love the word of

God, love the people of God, and

379

stay faithful for generations.

380

It scares me, maybe not scary in

a sinful sense, but I just I'm

381

nervous about the future of our

country, the future of our families,

382

and I want them to stay faithful.

383

What does that look like?

384

I think it is in part being

and maintaining that status

385

of being people of the book.

386

PJ: Yeah.

387

Let's pray and then we'll be

done with this this episode.

388

God, we do thank you for your word and

we thank you for David's example here.

389

Pray that we would have families that

follow suit, that do just what Pastor

390

Rod was just talking about, that do

care about the future generations and

391

not only prep, but also pray for them

and recognize that is significant.

392

That's something that we should be

doing that is good for us to do.

393

So we thank you for the example that

we see here in God just help us to

394

glean things when it, when we come

across passages that maybe aren't as.

395

Readily applicable for us

the first time through.

396

Help us to think about, okay,

God, what are you looking at?

397

What are you teaching us?

398

What are you trying to drive at with this?

399

And help us to glean what we can

glean from passages like this.

400

We pray this in Jesus' name.

401

Amen.

402

Amen.

403
