it is as long as it's from you it'll be good we'd love you and praise you in Jesus name Amen okay a couple weeks ago talked about the Book of Luke and I said that uh you know it's divinely inspired Scripture but we can learn and

we go all right so just to review last time uh i think it was about three weeks ago i shared something that i'd read from a.w tozer and he was talking about this idea of accepting christ and although it's not in scripture it's

know uh some sort of Mantra or text or something clever in in scripture the fact that you know that we get insight into who wrote this is is part of the deep dig we get to do with scripture and part of the truth that comes out and and

remember the hand all right so a couple weeks ago i shared on this i shared like you know when we're praying we say not my will but thy will be done there's five things that we know clearly from scripture or god's will now there

The Old Testament scriptures are the word of God that teaches us how God led people under the old covenant. But the old covenant itself, you know, a covenant means agreement. There's an agreement that God made with man.

was over then he could say father called him father again the end of those three hours into your hands I commit my spirit it's very wonderful when you read scripture carefully you see what great truth is in all these things it's when I realized

on the Word of God when I read the Bible I don't want to read like the Pharisees and just get all my doctrines right I want the Holy Spirit to give me lights on God's Word to show me Jesus in the scriptures see Luke 24 it says here that Jesus was

them deep theological questions but I could ask them facts you know you got to stimulate an interest in your children to know the scriptures and one way to stimulate you don't have to do but if you can stimulate an interest

scriptures and I I see verses like that in Isaiah, I see that God wants me to aspire to something higher, not just for a few seconds, but for eternity, like forever. And when Jesus comes and he says Josh, and put your name there. I'm

turn to these I would I would much prefer that you know you remember seeing it in your scriptures rather than just a PowerPoint you know I put the power up point up there for efficiency but feel free to open up your Bibles and and look

this book incredibly does is expose me through these stories of others in it in in its pages and we're going to look at some examples of scripture of grabbing and I have no intention of judging anybody in any of these stories I I have

the first, you know, pinned verse of scripture says that he was blameless. And that's what I want to look at this morning. I want to look like look at what does it mean to be blameless. And why is that so important to God?

in this one does that make sense so the men we're going to look at went through some incredible hardships that I'm just being honest I've never I've never had to endure anything like this but I see them in my scripture and it challenges

did not discern. One is the reason is they did not seek the counsel of the Lord. And likewise uh this is a story from Old Testament. All scripture is given by the inspiration of God for our instruction, training and righteousness.

only see it from one View and I was thinking about that's that's how this scripture is even though we all focused on Ephesians we all kind of look at it from a different perspective and that's why it's kind of neat in this

just talking about physical clothing he is he's referencing that but even as as we get more revelation on scripture we realize there's another clothing that we need isn't there to be clothed with the righteousness of christ is more important than if i come

of judging the people in the story right and what I'm finding now brothers and sisters as I as I read it again and continue to read it I'm looking at me in the story more than I ever have when I read the scriptures I don't

there's five things that you know in scripture are clearly the will of god for your life i can say it with absolute certainty to every one of you if you ever ask me what is the will of god for my life i can tell you well i can show you from

us to look at the scriptures and he says see what God thinks uh the age of majority is or the age you become an adult and so I did I read through the these scriptures and I want to go go over them with you and ask the same

could he had to you know interview them to get this story put together and it was a ton of work and I think it's good when we appreciate those that do a lot of work I think that scripture supports this to appreciate in value and those

the Lord has laid on my heart, let us pray and ask the Lord to help us to see the transformative power in the scriptures um to show

commanded divorce he permitted divorce very easy to twist scripture the pharisees twisted it if they didn't like their wives they just say moses commanded it moses never commanded it even today divorce is not commanded so you know because some people say oh

in looking at worth and evaluating what i am worth i recognize that i'm worth more than millions and millions and billions of dollars and i want to show you in scripture why i can say that but first i want to look at some things that

about Christ something comes to you is a is a guru as a teacher or a rabbi or a saint or a prophet um and also scriptures um you know scriptures also bear witness about Christ right that's how we came to Faith and Jesus himself
