lord you may be seated in god's house this morning yes yes even when we don't see it he's working yesterday i was reading through the book of esther it's my time to read through the scriptures throughout the year and this really hit me today about how when the king tried to go to sleep he couldn't the bible says that he just couldn't fall asleep something was on his mind okay god's working out things when you don't even know it and he couldn't sleep in something and said go get me the book of the annals of the king and so they retrieved it for him and they sat and they began to read to king xerxes from the book of the annals of the king because he couldn't sleep he said there's something i need to know about and that's when they begin to read and they begin to tell about what mordecai had done for the king and immediately the king got up and said i can sleep now because i know what exactly what needs to do and they brought mordecai in and blessed him and because of that things transpired for the hebrew nation to go forward and not be exiled i'm going to tell you right now even when you don't see him god is working out all someone say all things he works all things the good things someone say all things the good things the bad things all things he's working it out for the good of those who love and those are called according to his purpose we're so glad you're

people who worked with registration who were counselors who worked with sports who work with cleanup and especially sister tanisha and her crew they had never cooked for more than just a family but they ended up cooking for 500 and twice a day that's a thousand meals every day and i'm telling you they did an excellent job and everybody got fed and there were 12 baskets left over i'm telling you it's just like the bible says glory to god tonight is water baptism any of the young people that got a touch of heaven during this time of youth camp you need to get water baptized you haven't been baptized you can't find a better night than a hot night in the summer oh yeah that's the best time to get water baptized anytime's a good time to be water baptized but you know my mind goes back at the creek where i got baptized i was glad it was july praise the lord but you go to you can go to the website and register you can register out in the lobby or you can do the text baptized on that same number 859-359-3997 and you can just text the word baptism you know i've never done this before but i'm trying to think of what you do i think what you do is you put that number in your phone and

put what you want hallelujah i may do it and i may not now in in the seat in front of you you all that come all the time you need to be on the all-call because there were people that came here

and we're just so thankful that they've come they went to uh brother brother brother audrey's church down there in lynn alabama and we're just so thankful that they're with us this morning we've had people come in one woman was here at the nine o'clock service she said i heard the freeman sing king jesus i know you hear me when i pray she said i thought is there a church that sings that she said i never heard such a song as that she said i got on the search on youtube and they said there was a church in independence kentucky and had us singing king jesus she drove all the way from missouri to be here and she's going to come back tonight she was at the nine o'clock service i said well we will sure sing king jesus i know you i'd like to have an excuse to sing that anyway hallelujah praise the lord matthew chapter 22 verses 41 41-46 while the pharisees were gathered together jesus asked them saying now what do you think of the christ whose son is he and they said unto him he's the son of david he said unto them how then does david in the psalms by the spirit call him lord saying the lord said unto my lord sit thou at my right hand till i make your enemies thy footstool if david then call him lord how is he his son and no man was able to answer him a word neither did anybody from that day forth ask him any more questions i would like to deal with the subject the last and final question let's pray father we come to you in the name of jesus i thank you god for this day i thank you lord for your love and your mercy i'm asking you lord to let your word go forth and love mercy truth demonstration empower the holy ghost in jesus name let the church say amen you may be seated just for a few moments this morning we're dealing with the subject the last and final question our text is found in matthew chapter 22 verses 41 through 46. as you look at our bible our bible is divided in the old covenant in the new covenant but it is one word 66 books and as you look at our scripture from genesis to malachi in the old covenant in the old testament there are scriptures that confirm that messiah the christ the anointed one is another name for the christ he would be called the son of david he would be in the lineage of king david it all began with god searching the human race looking for someone who would be obedient to him his call went out his call went out and i believe it went to many people but finally a man by the name of abraham began to walk in obedience to what he was hearing from this great and almighty god and god told abraham he said i want you to come out from your family i want you to come out of er the chaldeans and i'm going to make you a great people i'ma make you a mighty nation i want you to hear my voice and i want you to follow me abraham is entitled the father of faith and it's not because he walked in perfection it took 25 years for him to earn the title the father of faith during that 25-year period i believe he could have quit at any time he could have walked away at any time and said you know i i'm not in it it's it's you know it's i've waited too long it's not going to happen but for 25 years he continued during that 25-year period sometimes he misrepresented the truth there were things he did he should not have done there were things he said he should not have said there were places that he went he should not have gone but after 25 years he earned the title the father of faith and on this journey for these 25 years in genesis 12 2 and 3 god begins to speak to him he said and i'm going to make you a great nation and i'm gonna and i'm gonna bless you and i'm gonna make your name great and you shall be a blessing and i will bless them that bless you and i'm gonna curse them that curse you and in you abraham shall all families of this earth be blessed and then god spoke to him this is before the promise came in genesis 15 and he began to speak to abraham and he said abraham when you do have this miracle child of yours your seed is going to go into a far country which we know is egypt now they're going to be there for 400 years and afterward i'm going to bring them out with riches and great substance they're going to go in a family but 400 years later they're going to come out a great and a mighty nation the son has not been born we get to genesis chapter 17 and verse 19 he said sarah your wife shall indeed have a son and thou shalt call his name isaac i will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant and with his seed after him god granted that request isaac was born 30 years pass by isaac's not a little boy he's a grown man abraham said isaac i want you to go with me god has spoken to me to go to the mountains of moriah actually the place of jerusalem's where he went and while he was going his way there god spoken and said i want you to sacrifice your son abraham your only son abraham god never did condone human sacrifice this was never ever in his imagery nor his plan this was a test of abraham's faith but after 25 years of seeing what god had done after 25 years and now 30 years has passed he is the father of faith this is the final test that he has to go through they walk up mount moriah and as they walk up these mountains isaac looks at abraham and says father i've got the wood and you've got the fire but where is the sacrifice and he said the lord is going to provide the sacrifice he took that 30 year old handsome young man tied him to the altar just like you would do a ram or a bullock or any other type of animal a substitutionary offering and as abraham took that huge dagger to cut his throat and to sacrifice him all at once the angel of the lord spoke out loud and said abraham abraham was so intense in this act of sacrificial faith that the angel had to say it twice abraham don't do your son any harm for i have provided me a sacrifice and the name of that altar was called jehovah jireh the lord he will provide in the thicket was a ram that ram's horn would later be called the shofar every time the shofar is blown it is a type and a shadow it shouts aloud of the provision of god at the sacrificial offering that god provided but it also shouts aloud of the supreme sacrifice of the only begotten of the father that was offered on calvary as a substitutionary offering for our sins and the bible said that 70 souls went down to egypt abraham had his only begotten son isaac isaac had in his seed jacob jacob had 12 sons these 12 sons and their families 70 souls went down into the land of egypt they would be there for over 400 years but now jacob when he is a dying the bible said he leans on his staff and the holy ghost begins to move on him while he's leaning on his staff at his ancient age and he begins to prophesy to the 12 sons in front of them they needed the prophecy because they were going to be in egypt for 400 years and they needed the direction of the word of the lord what was going to happen in those 400 years after it was over when he got to judah judah was the least likely to succeed judah was a man who had no children his sons had died but judah went into the tent of a harlot and she conceived and brought forth a son there this illegitimate son was born but when jacob was leaning on his staff and the holy ghost began to move on him he said judah the scepter shall not depart from you it's not going to depart out of your hand nor a law giver from between your feet until shiloh the messiah the christ the anointed one has come and unto him shall the gathering of the people be now we know that levi is going to be the tribe that will produce the priest you would think that the priestly the priestly division of the tribes of israel that messiah would come out of these priestly divisions but god said no he's going to come out of judah and when you get to deuteronomy chapter 23 and 2 the law plainly says that if any child be illegitimate if there has been some type of malfunction or practice acted upon and a child comes into conception that he cannot carry this incredible blessing until 10 generations have passed so even though judah had messed up god wants to tell you i'm i've already made provision because when you get to the book of ruth chapter 4 verses 18 through 22 we find that judah has a boy by the name of pharis that's number one pharis has hezron number two hezron has ram number three ram has abinadab number four aminadab has number five nashon number five has salmon salmon has boaz boaz has obed obad has jesse which is number nine and the number 10 on the list according to the sovereign hand of god is david himself when you get to second samuel chapter 7 and verse 16 the prophetic word comes to david and says thine house shall be a kingdom and your kingdom shall be established forever before thee and your throne shall be established forever so as we see these people of israel they went in a family they come out of mighty nation god set out of this mighty nation out of the tribe of judah is going to be born a family ten generations pass out of that family number 10 is born his name is david david has been given this prophetic word that his family and his throne is going to be established forever now as we look at the scripture the bible said that the children of israel they began backsliding over and over and god had to correct them so he sent them into babylon for 70 years while they were in babylon they began to evaluate themselves and they said the problem is the people do not know the inherent eternal word of god they only go to jerusalem for the feast the three main feasts a year they only hear the reading of the word in the temple they do not know the scripture and because they do not know the inherent eternal word of god they have erred and caused themselves to fall into these divers lust in sins and follow the nations of the world so when they came out of babylon the bible said they set up synagogues and established a rule and said every geographic region no matter where it may be if there are ten males that are born it is required by the hebrew people to build a building to be a synagogue where the word of god is studied where the word of god is read where the word of god is guarded so when i go to guatemala out in the jungles and pay 10 and i'm on the island called flores and i see a big jewish star there is a synagogue because 10 men which are jews live in that city so it is required that they have a synagogue in that city and i've walked in and i've visited and i've seen them rock back and forth i've heard them pray i've heard them read the scripture out loud i've heard them carry on the very precepts and concepts of god when they came out of babylon they began to appoint two sets of scribes the talmudic and the mesoretic scribes they would be supported by the hebrew nation their job would be to guard this inherent eternal word of god they were to guard every cross of a t every dot of an eye every circle that made the o the hebrew language has a number for every letter there are 23 letters that match with 23 numbers so when they say a phrase bless the lord every letter in hebrew has a number when that phrase has been written it has a numeric calculation they add those calculations to make sure there is not one jot not one dot not one curve of a j not one cross of a t these talmudic and mesoretic scribes their entire life until the day they leave this world has been to guard over the scripture in 200 bc after the last prophecy was given they didn't know it was the last one but it was the last move of god's spirit they canonized the talmud the poetic writings and the prophecies and they called it the tanakh and the tanakh is what we have right now genesis through malachi the inerrant eternal infallible word of god the inerrant eternal infallible word of god that has been guarded over that has been preserved that is presently right now portions over 500 years old that we believe and we know to be given by god by the inspiration of the holy ghost for humanity to walk in the concepts of god now with all of these things said every jew the pharisees especially they had known this scripture many of them memorized genesis x leviticus numbers in deuteronomy they knew that he was to come from the tribe of judah they knew he must be from the family of david they knew this to be the word of god for three and a half years they had questioned christ they had followed christ they had gone to every level of persecution that you could even imagine trying to denounce that it is even possible that a man would be born as god manifests in the flesh to try to annoy that it would even be possible but now it comes just a few days before jesus is to go to calvary and the pharisees are all gathered there again he said all right it's my turn i got a question for you i got something i want to ask you when christ is come when the messiah is come when the anointed one is come whose son is he and with all boldness they threw their head back and they said that's easy he is the son of david he said well why is it when david got anointed by the holy ghost to inscribe the inerrant eternal word of god why in psalms 110 and verse 1 in the prophetic mesoretic psalm or messianic psalm why does david said the lord in that word lord there's jehovah the lord jehovah said unto my lord adoni adoni either means sovereign king why does he say the lord jehovah said unto my lord david said my lord adoni the sovereign king i want you to sit at my right hand until i make your enemies my footstool i'm gonna make your enemy every enemy that's tormented the human race i'm going to put that enemy under my feet because one day messiah is going to be seated in his glorified body he came in her earthly body but now he's got a glorified body and the spirit which proceeds out from god is on this earth the written word became the living word now the spirit word is here to testify of the living word and the written word so this messiah he came to earth he made of himself a no reputation he took upon himself the form of a servant and became obedient even to the death of the cross this one by the name of jesus he was born in bethlehem he was baptized by john in the river of jordan a voice spoke and said this is my beloved son in whom i am well pleased this man called jesus was confirmed by god with signs and with wonders this man called jesus he healed the sick and he raised the dead and he cast the devil out and walked on the water this man called jesus he took the sins of the human race past present and future he took every sin and nailed it to his cross that the propitiation for sin might be made that the appeasement of god might be fulfilled that whosoever will let him come to the throne of grace boldly this man called jesus he tore down the middle wall of partition which separated the human race from their god and now he has come to this earth to give us this great and wonderful salvation this man called jesus after he hung on that cross and was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities and the chastisement of our peace was upon him and by his bloody stripes we are healed up this man called jesus he was laid in a borrowed tomb i said laid in a borrowed tomb but while his earthly house was laying in that tomb his spirit soul went into the heart of the earth and it conquered death hell and the grave and on the first day of the week which is sunday and that's why we have gathered here on sunday because sunday is the lord's day we give honor to sunday because the apostles gave honor to sunday we worship on sunday as a special event because it is the day that our savior conquered death hell in the grave and he arose from the dead we give special honor for sunday because on sunday is when a when a wind a mighty and a rushing wind came from heaven and it filled the house where they were sitting and clothing tongues of fire set on each one of them and they were all filled with the holy ghost we worship on sunday and sunday is the lord's day because that's the day that he went through a wall and he spoke to thomas and he said i am he feel my wounds it was on sunday when he spoke to the two walking on the road to emmaus now i know this modern day wants to say that you can honor every day and we do every day is the lord's day but i'm not going to let your flesh act like sunday is just the same as any other day because he never got up on monday he never got up on tuesday he never got up on wednesday he never got up on thursday or friday or saturday i want you to know that the demons in hell they've got marked on their calendar that it was early one morning it was on a sunday morning so i'm glad that you honored god on the lord's day and turned your ipad on turn your iphone on turn your computer on and i'm glad that you that are physically able to come to the house of god in all circumstances that you pulled your car not into the parking lot of walmart not into the parking lot of kings island not into the parking lot of a pizza joint not into the parking lot of a drive-in not into the parking lot of the library not into the parking lot of some amusement park but you counted it a joy to look the devil in the eye and say devil i want to remind you one more time that today is sunday your neighbors watched you pull your car out your driveway your neighbors knew that there's something stiffer about you that you're gonna get out of your bed you're not going to lay there like a lazy unthankful ungrateful poor little old you that spit all night hooting at the hoop nanny saturday night or shin digging the night before or went to a birthday party and you can't get your little feeble self out of bed while you jump out of that bed like a grasshopper if you was gonna go on a fishing trip or if you was gonna go on a deer hunt or if you were going to go on some type of a an adventure somewhere if you had to catch that cruise ship you know how to get up at three o'clock in the morning now well i'm gonna tell you something there's something bigger there's something better there's something more powerful there's something more joyous yeah somebody said there he goes again he's trying to make me feel bad for sleeping on sunday morning you got it you got the answer right i want you so miserable that you cannot stand asleep on a sunday morning i don't want you i don't even want the alarm to have to wake you up i want you to wake up an hour before that alarm that's what i do i want you to look and say sunday's here sunday's here sunday's here sunday's here this is a celebration this is a time we celebrate that out of that grave he resurrected out of that grave i said out of that grace oh we love you lord [Applause] [Music] yeah i said yeah i know the modern american church especially around easter time now i understand whenever your crowd is so big that you have to have a ha have to have different services on i understand that fact that it's impossible to get maybe everybody in there on sunday but i don't understand this i don't understand you here listen to me good i don't understand how that you can have your easter service on thursday and then on sunday when it is the lord's day that you can find yourself out with the world and doing everything that they do and got your grill going on up and you're least interested in the lord's day and his resurrection than anything else i know this is difficult preaching and don't go along with this modern harlot church but i'm going to tell it anyway because i serve christ jesus he is lord i said his lord oh hallelujah this same jesus on the first day of the week he came out of that grave and the bible said right now in his glorified body he is seated at the right hand of the father because the lord jehovah on which all things exist from which all life proceeds out of jehovah and the lord said unto adoni my lord the sovereign king the high priest that can be touched by the feelings of our infirmities he said just sit down there won't be any more sacrifices that's what the word sit down means it means the work is over it means the payment has been done it means there's no more sacrifice for sin i just want you to sit here because the next thing we're gonna do until we take over the earth and your stained foot touches the mount of olives he said the next thing we're going to do for the next few thousand years or a couple of thousand years we're going to put the enemies of the human race under the feet of the lord jesus christ we're going to put the enemy of addiction we're going to put the enemy of perversion up we're going to put the enemy of alcohol we're going to put the enemy a molestation we're going to put the enemy of hatred up we're going to put the enemy of bitterness we're going to put the enemy of sorrow up every enemy and know why i'm here this morning i'm here to do exactly what god says to do that's to take the enemy which has changed humanity and which has bound humanity and take that enemy and say i've got a high priest and he is seated at the right hand of the father and he ever lives to take your enemy and put that enemy under his feet and to put that enemy and to walk out of here with victory we praise you come on let's praise him [Applause] [Music] so the final question the final question for everyone in the human race is not are you a catholic are you a baptist are you a holiness are you a church of god oh no that's not the final question you see i get on google every now and then and when i get on google i do a search i said how many lives have been changed because of allah i can't find any testimonies anywhere i say how many lives have been changed because of buddha i can't find any testimonies because they believe in reincarnation and the quicker you get out of here the better off you're going to be you just die and come back as somebody else i've asked has any lives been changed because of hinduism one and a half million gods but there's no testimony because they believe in reincarnation also i ask scientology and all of the hollywood rich folks that's involved in all of that scientology how many lives have been changed how many addicts have been set free how many homeless have been given beauty for ashes how many have received joy unspeakable and full of glory you can't get a testimony all they want to tell you is they have their headquarters down in clearwater and on the top of that building they're looking for aliens from the outer space to come here that's the only kind of joy they got to give you is somebody from outer space is going to give us some connections on where we come from and who we are well i got news for you there's already been somebody from outer space been here you're just late on the news i said you're late on the news one day one day he left the throne of glory and he came to this earth hallelujah he came beyond the heavens and he came to give us life and to give it more abundantly there is nobody i said nobody there is no religion there is nothing on the face of this earth that has a testimony that when i heard about this certain person my life was changed but i believe there could be some people here that are guilty of having an experience
