that we are having about tis known service right here the new life seventh-day Adventist Church since we started some three weeks ago men was was there Monica's baptizo - yes women women have responded to the call we believe today will not believe we know that today we have another woman that has responded to the call you see anywhere the gospel has been preached if you are honest at heart you will respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ it is that powerful Word of God says that it is powerful like a two-edged sword cutting asunder wherever the gospel is being preached men and women will always respond and I'm very happy today very very happy to see that even here in this part of the vania that we are playing our part in snatching people from the that the less their snare of the enemy I got a call from a wife of a member of one of our churches she told me that her husband as in the hospital on life support and that it was looking dim but I was heartened because she was the wife for husband and I baptized last year was the first time that I was ever baptizing a person in a wheelchair was an experience that man about eight years of age if I can remember he said come hell or high water he wanted to get baptized it was a struggle for the Deacons to get him in the pool but we got him in the pool and he was baptized right there in his wheelchair subsequent his baptism have gone to his house encouraged him let him know that listen you're a very sick man anything can happen so I want you to consecrate yourself daily so when she called I was not perturbed because I believed that he had made it right to this Lord he eventually died and you know the family is in mourning but we thank God that in the nick of time he gave his heart to Jesus sorry young man last week here did not make it in a baptismal pool but somebody needs to talk to him it's a big mistake so this afternoon we are here again the Lord has given us a message so even though the Bible text will be on the screen like you to turn your Bibles turning pages of the Bibles walk with me the Book of Luke Luke chapter 17 and verse 32 let me hear that my believes moving Luke chapter 17 and verse 32 just that one verse for now Luke chapter 17 and verse 32 what book did I say Luke Luke that's the book chapter 17 and verse 32 and we're gonna read that text together the Bible says are you there are you there Luke chapter 17 is on the screen what I want you as a matter of fact I want you to take out your pens and whenever you have to make notes and make notes because our theme text for these this week that we have been here what is our theme text it is found in psalm 119 and verse 11 it says thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not watch sinned against thee so glad to see your sister more thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee Luke chapter 17 are you there not there yet Luke chapter 17 and verse 32 read with me the Bible says remember Lot's wife bow your heads you Oh God even now even now even now may your Holy Spirit work or work that has never been seen before in this place Oh God may you speak to the consciousness of someone this afternoon Oh God I pray that in some way shape or form your your your message will will find lodgement in someone's heart may you were wake that one out of the slumber the stupa and help them he or she realized and won't be long from now in Jesus will come so I pray God that your word will come forth with clarity and precision a laser beam into our hearts may we accept Jesus Christ fully is my prayer in Jesus name a few verses in Luke chapter 17 sets the context that will give meaning to the three simple most important words that screams at us from our topic remember Lot's wife remember Lot's wife remember Lot's wife from the passage it is obvious that Jesus is talking to the Pharisees about his coming Kingdom and in that discussion he made references as to what it would be like before he comes Jesus directed his errors to the experiences of Nohr and lodge and Jesus indicated that just as it was in the days of Noah and in the days of lot so it will be in our day when the Son of Man comes if you read a passage carefully you would have realized that Luke's description of those days shows that at that time economies of the world will be doing well food will be plenty so much so that people will be marrying and giving in marriage notwithstanding Jesus then gave a very cryptic warning in verse 31 and 32 of Luke chapter 17 walk with me the Bible says are you there the Bible says but he said to him reading from the New King James Version sorry Luke chapter 7 31 it says in that day are you walking with me he who is on the housetop and his goods is what it's goods are in the house let him not come down to take them away remit matured and likewise the one who is in the field let me not turn back the Bible the Bible the Bible is exhorting is screaming at us he says in that day when the Son of Man is nearing to come in that day if you are on the housetop as near as you are to your stuff that's what the King James Version says but I need mr. mr. technical man I need a new King James Version you don't have it well as near as you are to your stuff don't come down to take it away and if you're at work don't turn back and then in verse 32 the Bible says remember Lot's wife to remember Lot's wife you have to take a trip with me to Sodom so we read Genesis chapter 19 turn your Bibles with me to Genesis chapter 19 Genesis chapter 19 the Bible says the Bible says in verse 1 the Bible says in the New King James Version because this is the correct interpretation of the Hebrew listen the New King James Version the Bible says now the tool the two angels came to Sodom in the evening the King James says two angels but the New King James says now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening and lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom when lot saw them the Bible says he rose to meet them and he bowed himself for his face towards the ground the Bible says fit two angels I'm going to come back to those two angels as I as I go true but the Bible said the two angels those of us who are not familiar with the story let me take some time to set the context so that you will understand the message Oh his lot well we know Abraham and lot is a bruh the Abraham's nephew in Genesis chapter 12 work with me Genesis chapter 12 the Bible says the Bible says now the Lord said to Abraham and verse 1 get thee out of thy country and what from thy kindred and from thy father's house unto a land that I will show thee so large was Abraham's nephew the son of Abraham's brother and if we were to be technical the command that God gave Abraham he was not supposed to have taken locked because the Bible says that get thee out of thy country and from thy kingdom from thy father's house we're not going to get technical so now not ended up in Sodom if you turn with me to chapter 13 verse 7 and as we go through the Bible of Genesis the Bible says let me hear you turning your Bibles the Bible says in 13 and verse 7 and there was a strife between what the herdsmen of Abraham's livestock and the herd men of what Lots livestock the Canaanites and the parasites then dwell in the land verse 8 said so Abraham said to lot let there be no strife I pray thee between me and thee and between my herdsmen and what diet herdsmen for we be brethren let there be no strife between my herdsmen and thy Earth's men for we be brethren I told you that he was not supposed to have taken lot but know that the whole land is before them now that there is prosperity prosperity brings strife sometimes it happens in the Church of God prosperity means strife when Abraham said let there be no strife amongst us forward we be pressuring oh I wish that the Church of God members of the Church of God would take a leaf out of Abraham's book sometimes there is tension in the church are you walking with me sometimes there is strife in the church but injunction from Abraham is that let there be no strife amongst us Oh Edie brethren Bible goes on in chapter 8 in verse 18 of chapter 13 the Bible says so then Abraham move is tent and knew what they were and dwelt in the plain of Mamre which is in Abram and built there an altar unto the Lord for the Bible tells us that he said to lot in verse 9 of chapter 13 if you take the right I'll take the left and if you take the left and I will go right not look and he saw hardly that the verdure of the land and our beautifully boss and he chose the beautiful part he should have humble himself his uncle is an older man for him and harder as it were and should have given his uncle the first choice the Bible says Abraham went towards mamrie and in verse 12 the Bible says loved pitched his tent towards sudden looked pitched his tent towards Sodom Sodom will Sin City a lot does not move his family into a home on a nice street in a nice city in the suburban part of turn not move close enough so that his family will feel the full effect of the lure of wickedness in Sodom there was mirth and revelry feasting and drunkenness in Sodom the fairest and most brutal passions were unrestrained Sodom would have seen two men on the corners kissing a woman kissing involved in illicit sets the sanam was sensitive and the Bible says not pitched his tent what sorry and as you look at the progression of light now in chapter 19 he lives in the city but first the Bible says in in verse ten lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan that was well watered everywhere the Bible says in verse 10 that he didn't what he lifted up his eyes looked toward sudden in first 12 the Bible says he pitched his tent towards Sodom and by the time we reach chapter 19 luck is living in Sodom you that city our O'War near our gates storica li men who sat at the gates were political leaders they were the elders who decided the matters of civil law so now in chapter 19 lot is at the gate I walking with me still lot is at the gate is now a leader he has now moved into Sodom he has made friends with the people he now rose in popularity now he has roots built a business and a home and had established a family now lot was a leading man in sorrow citizen so here we go back to where we started chapter 19 verse 1 the Bible says now the two angels are walking with me now the two angels as a matter of fact let us go back to chapter 80 the Bible says for us to understand what is acting in chapter 19 we have to go back to chapter 84 the Bible says in chapter 19 the two angels came to Sodom in the evening the two angels these are two specific angels ever asked them to understand the two angels let us go back to chapter AG the Bible says in Genesis chapter 18 the Lord appeared to him in the plains of Mamre and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day this hymn is referring to Abraham he was at the tent door cooling out in the heat of the day verse 2 put it on the screen Bible says that Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked and lo what three men stood by him and when he saw them he did what he ran to meet them from the tent door and what and bowed himself towards the ground I'd like you to notice that Abraham paid homage to these men these men were angels the Bible tell us that suddenly appeared and an Abraham knew from the beginning these were heavenly messengers and if we look at what MIT not did in chapter 19 Locke did the same thing recognize that these were not ordinary visitors he called them Lords Abraham referred to them as Lord not got good bomb training and family worship in verses 4 to 8 the Bible says chapter 18 the angels came and they said please let a little water be brought Abraham said and did one wash your feet rest yourselves under the tree and I will bring a morsel of what bread that you may refresh your hearts have you read it from the King James that you shall pass on and therefore how he come to your servants and they said so do as thou hast said verse 6 says and Abraham hastened into the tent on to Sara and said make ready quickly three measures of what fine meal knead it and make cakes upon the earth and Abraham ran unto the earth and fetch what a calf tender and good and gave it unto a young man and he hasted to us treci verse 8 says and he took butter and milk and the calf which he had dressed and said before them and he stood by them under the tree and there did eat abraham recognized that these were not ordinary visitors and he gave them the bible says meal that must have been a corn meal dumpling and butter this this looks like the high cholestoral meal oxtail that kind of a thing and Abraham treated them royally verse 9 verse 9 says put it on a screen and they said unto Him where he Sarah thy wife and he said behold in the tent and verse 10 and he said I was certainly return unto these according to the time of life and Lowell Sarah thy wife shall have a son and Sarah girded in the tent door which was behind him and like you to notice my sisters and my brothers these heavenly visitors they had interest in the family they knew what was happening and they had come to relieve the family and verse 11 says now Abraham and Sarah were cold well stricken in age it seems to be with Sarah half to the manner of women that means that she was barren couldn't have a child but the eight the angel informed him read verse thirty first and the Lord said unto Abraham well let us go back to verse 12 and therefore Sarah WA left within herself saying after I am waxed old shall have pleasure my lord being old also verse 13 and the Lord said unto Abraham wherefore did Sarah live you see she was in those days a woman were not to be in the company of men when they are when they are in Council and she was in the tent and she heard woman eavesdropping listening to her husband's conversation and the Bible said she left she laughed she said am 90 years of age how in the world am I gonna have a child nice she listened in on the conversation she left I want to tell you that 25 years before that the Lord had promised Abraham a son and the angels might have said to them Abraham listen God who is not circumscribed by human limitations promised you a son and for 25 years Abraham held down to that promise Abraham did not become a backslider Abraham did not lead the church God promised you a son when I digress verse 16 and 19 the Bible says that the men rose from there come read with me and look towards Sodom come on read it Lee and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way keep reading hmm might make and all the nations of the earth verse 19 and they shall heed the way of the Lord to the justice and one judgment and what I want you to notice my friends that are the Angels reasoned they said as they rose and they were looking towards Sodom Abraham went with them to send them on their way and they said shall we I that which we have come to do because you see these angels were on a mission Abraham was their first stop to tell him Sarah and Abraham that the Sun that God had promised them was to come and now they have done that they were on the second part of their itinerary going to Sarah and the Bible says that Abraham joined them and and because of who Abraham was they said let us tell him the secret are you walking with Masjid I'm going somewhere verse 20 and 21 the Bible says as they conversed with Abraham the Bible says and the Lord said because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and because their sin is very Grievous I will go down and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it which has come unto me and if not the Bible says I will know listen my sisters and my brothers there will come a time when God will have to say enough is enough God has been giving you chance after chance after chance after chance who say at the crusade and there will come a time when God will say enough is enough you going down to sunny deal which say nice they talked conversed with Abraham something popped up in Abraham's mind let us read verse 22 the Bible says and the men turned their faces from thence and went towards Sodom but Abraham stood yet before the Lord he didn't see that Abraham go back to 22 Abraham stood yet before the Lord when they told Abraham that they were going down to sudden to destroy Sodom Abraham remembered his little nephew down there and Lord and the angels were on their way the Bible says Abraham stood before the angel don't go ahead I have a nephew in Sodom you can't go down there to destroy Sodom I have enough you down there but it says Abraham reasoned with the Lord and verse 23 and Abraham junior and said with tho also destroy the righteous with the wicked Abraham remembered his nephew lot how he had brought him up in family worship and in the church and he even though he had gone to sell him Abraham was thinking that he must have some godliness still with him and he might have even kept a crusade in Sodom and baptized some people so Abraham reason will go destroy the righteous with the wicked Abraham didn't even wait for an answer listen to me Church this world owes its existence because we were righteous I still hear there are times that God would have destroyed this earth had it not been for his righteous people I'd let you understand my sisters and my brothers that if God were to destroy the righteous with the wicked that makes no sense that we are here this it's not going to destroy Bible says Abraham stood before the Lord Abraham reasoned with the Lord verse 26 the Bible says and the Lord said if I find in son 50 righteous within the city then I will spare all the place for their sakes madam Abraham reasoned he said yes luck might have kept a cruel sin and baptized but maybe he didn't get 50 and so in verse 29 abraham reasoned again turned to 29 for me and he spake unto him again and said peradventure there shall be what forty found there and the angel said I will not do it 440c Abraham thought to himself again and a reason within his heart that that I'm not certain it's a it's been a while since I've heard from luck I'm not certain so Abraham reasoned with the Lord again in verse 30 and he said unto him let not the Lord be angry and I will speak proud venture there shall walk 30 30 30 he found there and the angel said if 30s there I will not destroy it Abraham still was not satisfied next verse Bible said 31 he said we all know now now I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord peradventure there shall be twenty he's counting down by 10 now he started 450 went to 405 than 240 now he's counting down by 10:30 no 20 the angel said if I find 20 there I will not destroy 420 say but Abraham still was not sure verse 32 says that Abraham said all let not the Lord be angry he realizes that he was testing the patience of the Lord and he was conscious of it but he had a family member down in sorrow he said just this one time ten only ten he said if there are ten I will not destroy the faith of sudden died in the actions of ten righteous people Oh can the Lord said that say that today in your life in Fort Lauderdale can I find ten righteous people in this community and if I can find ten not destroyed Bible says in verse 33 the Lord went his way for when the Lord makes his point is finished he's open to negotiation and he's reasonable the Bible says he's not slack concerning his promise and the Bible says as soon as he had left communing with Abraham Abraham returned unto his place the Lord went his way by then the two angels had already gone is there that we need these fit to angels in chapter 94 it was the practice in Old Testament that before you inflict punishment you sent two witnesses so God sends two angels the two angels the Bible says in chapter 19 verse 1 that they came in the evening my country we have us a song that we used to sing that's it even time work is over now is even time and an even time the bars are swinging things are happening in Sodom people are gallivanting and gyrate gyrating and having all kind of fun the ROM bars are open and they're drinking living it up and they do not know that up on the hills of Mamre there is a man of God are preaching a frame beseeching begging on their behalf [Music] god send the angels they are their Caravan G they are unaware that their salvation is in the hands of ten righteous people ten can God find ten righteous people in new life today that can save this community ten they are smoking and drinking the Bible says in verse 2 of chapter 19 and he said here not my logs least let me read from the King James turning I pray you to your servants house and tarry all night wash your feet you shall rise up early and go on your ways and they said no but we will abide in the street all night lot said no no you don't know what kind of a place is this these are sodomites and they will do things with you that said no no and he pressed upon them greatly and they turning down to him the Bible says and he entered into his house and he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread and they did eat verse 4 says but before they lay down men of the city even the men of Sodom compassed the house around both old and young and all the people from every quarter verse 5 said and they call unto lot and sent him where are the men which came into unto thee this night bring them unto us that we were awed may know how they that word know the Hebrew word yada for sex these were three would said elder nasty man bring them that we may know that verse 6 says and not went out of the door and to them and shut the door after him and verse 7 says and I said I pray thee brethren do not do so we could let verse eight and we all know I have two daughters which I've known I've not known man let me I pray you bring them out unto you do to them as it is good in your eyes only unto these men do nothing for therefore can they under the shadow of my hue some preachers of selling that lock was for luck this was a sham for he knew that these men were not interested in women to notice that I've seen no man verse 9 says and they said stand back and they said again this one fella came in to sojourn and he will needs me a judge now when we deal worse with these everything and they pressed swore upon the man evil lot and came near to break down the door psalm the Sin City break down the door first 12 to 14 the Bible says the men first wealth salient Allah has though there any besides son-in-law and thy sons and thy daughters and whatever thou hast in the city bring them out of this race when the man the angel saw that these sodomites were seriously breaking down the door to come in they said now this City of God and they said to lot do you have any more family members god is interested in families are you listening to me God is interested in families and so that is why when family member come to you and beg and beseech you to give your heart to Jesus it is because God is a family god it is not God's intention that that that are you should perish Bible says that we ask them do you have any family member Bible says continues in verse the next verse please for we will destroy this place because the cry of them is what Watson crate before the face of the Lord and the Lord has sent us to destroy it verse 14 says and Lud went out and spake unto his sons in law which married his daughters and said up get you out of this place for the Lord will destroy the city but he seems as one that mocked unto his sons-in-law let me break this down for us remember Bible says the angels came when in the evening and with all that exchange it must be nighttime so a lot because the the look that that God struck them with blindness and even in their blindness they were still pushing down the door the Lord said to lot listen do you have a me this is serious do you have any family member so when luck went out it was night time Bible says he spake unto his sons in law which married his daughters remember now he had two daughters at home these two daughters were other daughters that had married men in subtle and lot risking his safety because of you that is daughters-in-law and his sons in lowering problem went out at night when to speak to his family the Bible says he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons-in-law you can imagine they say daddy what you mean there are two angels at your house and the city is going to be destroyed they said mrs. Nadia you taking medication not pleaded and I want you to notice that Lots daughters married man who took God for a joke did you see that in the text not daughters that grew up in the church family worship morning and evening knew about the Living God they when they got big and was able to be independent and reach the age of accountability and marry they married men who God for a joke sad news is your sisters in our church coming down your streets now who are still shacking up and marrying two men who take God for a joke we are talk about is sonic Church you know you know no church married men who took God for a joke Locke begged the Bible says he pleaded listen this city is going to be destroyed and a lot beg them listen leave and come they're two angels at my house and they're going to destroy the city leave and come and not begged and pleaded but they would not hear like you to use your imagination as not turn his back upon his daughters and his sons-in-law walking back to the middle of the night and mrs.
