Speaker 2 (01:52):
Tab and helping them to start the African Christian.

Speaker 1 (01:54):

It's always interesting when we tell people that we live

Speaker 1 (02:04):
We have mentioned it sens and Zambia one.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oftentimes they respond that our English is very good then
English and it does tend to be decent when you

Speaker 1 (02:19):
That isn't my stun school. The man had all fixed

then let's know fast and thank you for the opportunity
to share in this meeting with you.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Why Merkley kitas Mid tied off as I'm long here.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's quite ironic that we're here in the land of
the Reformation.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Seems you're honest as you hear him land there.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
And and I have flown up from Zambia.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
When they've been for Zambia here.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Where the Reformation is in full bloom, in fuller blue
test to the place where the Reformation is something that
people have almost forgotten.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
So I'm odd, and I does you mention us fully forgets?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
So ironically it is our prayer so bit that the
next Reformation will come from the south and invade the north.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
That's the next from Zuden.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
By God's grace, Amen, my assignment this morning is to
address the issue of biblical preaching.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
An off is this the this.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
That is something that has been taken for granted in
times past.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Does us in the fagang height, but.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Cannot be taken for granted any longer about preaching has
fallen out of favor.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Preaching breading is was my ggnitude.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Biblical or otherwise.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Known as the biblishes preading is People.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
In the culture say things like don't preach at.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Me mentioned in the predigamnich.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Preaching has a negative connotation negative bikersmug. Consequently, the church
is often viewed with suspicion.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
When the thing is are the the comminders of them?

Speaker 2 (05:31):
For because we are defined and characterized by preaching vavi
the pre character. Unfortunately, some have decided to respond by
backing away from preaching.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Time aig in DM the ango fangam abstence name from prading, and.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
So we try to redefine preaching.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Of ainoids the definion.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
We even changed the word find that preaching becomes sharing.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Treading highest to a mid time.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
The sermon becomes a message or a talk.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
The pradished vert of in naredo or in a boat.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Shaft, as though that will somehow soften the blow.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
In upml.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
And but if we are still doing the same thing
Shakespeare's words ring.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
True, then then Shakespeare's water va arose.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
By any other word would smell as sweet.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
And guimanzenen zest often.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
And so redefining preaching is not enough. Treading NOI definio,
using a different word for it is not sufficient. And
so we've taken different philosophical approaches to it.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
And that seeing how we have gone neue philosopher vega
die in.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
One is the approach of pragmatism vegans pragmatismos in pragmatism,
preaching sometimes becomes performance or entertainment.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
In pragmatismus but prairish tail.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
If not performance or entertainment, then therapy.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
This is therapy, yeah, the one that's kind intohyphonist and
it's flight an.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
A therapy or perhaps just theological training. Whatever io onto
a logoshis training when it comes to the idea of
preaching as performance or entertainment.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
When they are trading one nothing that is trading. I'm
for frong I I know the hyptonist.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'd like to paraphrase a book titled by John Piper
and John Piper Brethren, we are not entertainers.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Niched Halta.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
This is not to say that we shouldn't engage our audience.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
That's highsen.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
We have to be careful here, listen he sign. Especially
among US Reform Baptists Baptist some have tried to be
as entertaining as.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Possible, do yao, Vanish Merkley.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Unfortunately many have succeeded. Our God is glorious and beautiful.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
On the Goddess is Harlish on wonders.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
We should be enraptured with the thought of him.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Sign.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Our preaching should call people to the highest of heights.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
As a pretty exulted he mentioned that's.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
The preacher should be set a blaze of the glory
of God. They have.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Brendan met very harlish.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
So much so that people, as one author has said,
should gather just to watch him burn.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Soia does azaka you mentioned comes in.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I'm not talking about performance.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Here, especially niche Fune women, but passion not from viltishaft.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
That arises from the presence and power of the Spirit
of God in the life of the preacher.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Lightens shaft to come from from the.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Scott.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
This guy's the Scott.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
To similar in this predis this is a far cry
from preaching as mere entertainment.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
The wright and fand for I am praying not so.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Entitled, designed to entice and draw a crowd.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
That's man, that's man.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Again. The other end, the other temptation, is to view
preaching as therapy.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
When the under the under pradition.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Here preaching becomes self help and motivation and.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
The prads and zeb til motiv or it's.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Designed for emotional catharsis lived. The idea is that the
weak is long and hard.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
It is this DeVore lang, and we need.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
The sermon on Sunday to pick us up and encourage
us to continue on.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
So rouse.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Again, we have to be careful sign. It is true
that there is anutheretic dimension to our preaching, but that
cannot be all our preaching is. The final pragmatic temptation
is the view preaching as theological training.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's the FAU wrong by pragmatism preditions, that's that doesn't
that's a predation and logois training iss.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
The sermon as a mere theological treatise.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
I have the pig and your logis romance.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
When combined with an effort not to be entertaining, then.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Does an on to some comment Miti niched on design.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
The results can be catastrophic.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Can be a gapness, a catastrophisin.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Or cata tonic.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
I don't know that what even okay that mine left?

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Besides this temptation name to pragmatism, that's pragmatismus. There is
the temptation de mysticism, so mystics. We see this oftentimes
in Pentecostal or charismatic circles the same.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
We often thinks Tom and Charismatician.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Gamin where us reform Baptists tend to move toward the pragmatic.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Then via baptist if you like ab Sugans and in
pragmatismus that's.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Are charismatic and Pentecostal friends tend to move toward the mystical.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Then magician on things tradition a. So this is mystic.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
So the sermon is designed to unlock secret mysteries, the bradish.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
The prattsia ghimenheimnis of.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
To connect to supernatural power and.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Suga will come and forbiddens will come, so even atually.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
To control one's environment.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
The yes, it's the it's controller.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Here too, we must be careful.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Here is in the athosity sign because.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
While we reject mysticism, thenismus faf on duplin, we recognize
that we are handling mysteries.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Himness and soon happen we go.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Beyond the natural to the supernatural.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
We again hinted as naturalitia some uber naturalisian.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
As Paul says in First Corinthians four one.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
The Paulos act and asta corintha fear fair science.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
This is how one should regard us as servants of
Christ and stewards of the mysteries.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Of God damns ferdina Christi when degaheimnis gottis.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
So, if we can't reduce preaching to pragmatism pragmatismus and
and we can't reduce it to mysticismos, how do we
approach biblical preaching done on biblish And I'm arguing that
we approach it as a means of grace. When we

(13:51):
approach it as a means of grace, maybe we understand
and embrace the practical realities.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Then fastian jan on Aman the pragmat and the spiritual
mystery about the diguised behindness.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
But without moving beyond the theological.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Truth about by the logs and as again and.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
The biblical mandate by the the let me define means
of grace for you.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Let's mere middle definition.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
There are two things required for something to be considered
a means of grace.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Think is in the list it's my advice and middle Definian.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Kan that it's instituted by God clearly in scripture, as.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Most fun got Kleiner shrift anxiety sign.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
And secondly on Spidan's that it has a promise from
God that's clearly in scripture.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Does Clara Fahysong fun got in their.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Shrift that that it's something that God promises promises to bless.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Does it it's us God for highest. That's a segment.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
We see this mainly in four categories.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
In the Thandrian fear category.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Baptism, Talfa, the Lord's Supper prayer that's abet, and the
ministry of the Word the Dean's stan vote. Notice that
I say the ministry of the words vote, not just
the word. The Word of God itself is not means

(15:34):
of grace.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
That's what God does as is, it's the.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Ministry of the Word this is the Dean stan vote.
It's what God does with and through the.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Word, says fas got to admit on du.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Let me explain you. You can have the word alone
and not have the grace of God applied through the word.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Donnader got Angevan.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
One of my first professors in Bible and Austin Lera
in the shrift, was at a Secutar university in the
United States, and I know the financi Stadt. He was
a German Man by the name of wernerd Kelber.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Vine Deutsche Mann.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
There is Verna Keber, one of the foremost authorities on
the Gospel of Mark and the.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Author if Marcos Ivangilliam's.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
World renowned biblical scholar.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
And Kanta biber Gilliata, not a Christian abacincrist.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Knew the word better than most people in the world
besides the mice mention after but the word alone, it's
not means of grace, Alon is. You can have the
word of God and not the grace of God to
count us what gods. The word misunderstood is not means

(17:07):
of grace.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
That's what misfirstate and it's kind.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
The word misapplied is not a means of grace.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
That's what fame.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
And the word rejected is not a means of grace.
That's what upcult, but the ministry of the Word.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
But it deans just what us.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
That work that the Spirit of God does through the
Word got us to what that is means of grace,
that's just. And biblical preaching recognizes.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
This, and bibles praris is it just bevust.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
So we see this scripturally the scripts, for example, in
the parable of the Sore and.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
The seed parable from from zem And.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
We also see it in Paul's admonitions in First Corinthians.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Is yes, oh hyped as Cointa belief in.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
First Corinthians, Chapter one, verses seventeen to twenty five, for example.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
The bassa Colinta einsin.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Paul writes, for Christ did not send me to baptize,
but to preach the Gospel, and not with words of
eloquent wisdom, lest the Cross of Christ be emptied of
its power. For the word of the Cross is folly
to those who are perishing, but to us who are
being saved, it is the power of God. For it
is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise

(18:32):
and the discernment of the discerning, I will thwart. Where
is the one who is wise? Where is described? Where
is the debater of this age? Has not God made
foolish the wisdom of the world, For since in the
wisdom of God the Word, the world did not know
God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of

(18:53):
what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews
demands signs, and Greeks seek wisdom. But we preach Christ
crucified a stumbling block to Jews and folly to gentiles.
But to those who are called both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

(19:14):
For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and
the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
As an irons sipsin, then Christos had mechnisk and sutauphen

Speaker 2 (21:00):
This is the mystery of God, the ministry of.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
The world behindness scottis the deans this fort.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Us, this is the supernatural reality? Does this the ubernati

biblical preaching.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
On venvia, on hingab dimbibulition.

Speaker 2 (21:29):

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Of grace, hinga gamezi and some prading a.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
In order to look at this, and wants to go
to perhaps a an unusual place.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
So I'm peelighted Stella of Schlagen.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
I'll be looking at the same passage both today and tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
She had ad the zeber den upsets and shan.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
It's an Ephesians chapter five in if he is a
capital fun look at verse twenty five to the end
of the chapter.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Fancis with some ended dis copitos.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
It's a very familiar passage of scripture and abakant schrift
sta and you would probably expect me to go there
tomorrow when talking about the love Christ has for the church.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Like Morgan solbersprit cristosnagamindat. And it was in my preparation
for that, but Thankdarov that I.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Saw something here that I hadn't seen before.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Does it here at Vasa.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Which is why we'll use it for both messages. Bid
Board Shaften verse twenty five. Husbands, love your wives as
Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her,
that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the
washing of water with the word, so that he might

(23:10):
present the Church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle,
or any such thing, that she might be holy and
without blemish. In the same way, husbands should love their
wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife
loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh,
but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the Church,

(23:31):
because we are members of his body. Therefore, a man
shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to
his wife, and the two should become one flesh. This
mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers
to Christ and the Church. However, let each one of
you love his wife as himself, and let the wife

(23:53):
see that she respect her husband.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Let me point it out to you.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
That is you're off sign.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Look, get the first couple of verses shot off thousand.
There's a picture here that's being painted. Husbands, love your
wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up

The key to this entire passage is verse thirty two.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
The passage is first sied.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
This mystery is profound, and I'm saying that it refers
to Christ and the church.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
This kindness gross. Thebado is of crystals and of the comminder.

The reality is that mysterious spiritual union between Christ and
his bride.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
The church realitatus as a geistly Eroinheidz vision Christos and Tekazinagaminde.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Therefore, while there is much in this past, much of
this passage has to say to was about marriage and
the way we live in marriage.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
The type of void is a passage of fuds and
future and fud sag the a and vlbenzo.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
We must never lose sight of the fact that these
things have meaning only because of the truth to which
they point.

is Christ washing his bride with the water of the

of holding onto and unleashing this beautiful truth so that
He might call his bride to himself.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
He's been here, does crist.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
And he might conform his bride to his image.

One is this means of grace, whereby the word calls
forth the bride.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
That's irony is that's what.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
And the other is this means of grace, whereby the
word conforms the bride to Christ's undress.

This Canard metals vote brought Christos einschmacht.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
As christ redeems his bride, he sanctifies her.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
This vspinded by the aspectus Canard metals.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
A definite one from Louis Berkoff.

That is the reality.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
We are sanctified the.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
It is a legal declaration and it is rooted in
our justification. It is complete at our justification.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
When does this foil come?

Speaker 2 (33:44):
We are righteous? Via we are positionally righteous?

Speaker 1 (33:49):

Isn't foil come?

Speaker 2 (33:54):

Speaker 1 (33:55):

Speaker 2 (33:57):
That is why we are called saints. That's being very
highly No one has to declare us saints after our death.

ongoing act.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
It's then find fortchreightened.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
It grows out of our justification. The vextas on and
it is a product of the new nature that we
have in Christ this time and product Cristal. And it
is a product of our union with Christ.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
And I gave it a product on the mindshaft crystals.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
We are in Christ, isn't in crystals. If we had time,
we would go back to Ephesians che one and look
at all those statements of being in Christ and blessed
in Christ and in Him in the heavenly places.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
And crystals and in cristals in christals, in inhimnis and arts.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
But it is this union with Christ is the com
crystals that guarantees the growth and maturity of our sanctification.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
That's what it was a highly con vaxine.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
So as we talk about this preaching as means of
grace and.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Trading expression.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
We first look at it as a means by which
God calls forth the bride's.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
They asked, and middle has got the debrout rooft.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Notice the text again, text, husbands, love your wives, as
Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Cristos decamined Glipans exepts Physihinger gave.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Mad So we begin with Christ's love for his bride.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
They beginners, I mean a Libachristophers, and notice.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
That Christ's love for his bride is rooted in his
love for his father and.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Mac off does the liber Christophers and Liba Phis and Fata.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
We see this theologically in the Covenant of.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
And the Spirit, who is the very personification of the
love between the Father and the Son.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
And there is a liba sysion on Demon.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Applies that redemption in time to those whom the Father
gave and the Son redeemed.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Then it is allusm in that side and of the gave.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
So the redemption of God's elect.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Alluson for God is an expression of the love of
God for God, and austrok funded deliber gottis fear God.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
It is an overflow of the love of God.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
A lieba in the elluzo fant.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
And so preaching is a means by which this expansion
takes place.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
And they think is pradish and admitted this as a
auspaire tung statfinnit.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Christ gave himself in order to make his bride lovely,
not because she.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Was christa satchihina gave him umzigin abrout leavings.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
On the thendon physicists.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
And beyond that, he is that very word which sanctifies
what is. That's what's Hence we must view preaching as
a supernatural and spiritual process east whereby Christ, by the words,

(39:30):
creates and calls forth his.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Bride Zeena brout a shaft on, not as.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
And nimnally activitd the verting mentioned.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Preaching then is seen as a key part of christ
justifying and saving work. Preaching is seen as a key
part of Christ's justifying and saving work.

So and so highly Romans one, sixteen and seventeen.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
For I'm not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is
the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes,
to the jew first and also to the Greek. For
in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith.
For faith, as it is written, the righteous shall live
by faith. Romans sixteen, seventeen, Romans one, Romans one.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Right when I I sexton on Zipsin, then shame of

Speaker 1 (41:08):
The alze hypen Off.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
There used to be this approach to preaching that divided
it in half.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
And praying it doesn't invite tighter tighter.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
There's preaching you do for unsaved people who need the Gospel.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
That's prading us to the ungloi being tooth.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
And then there's preaching that you do for saved people
who already have the Gospel and therefore don't need it anymore.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
And then pradis to gretti to mention.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
But the idea that we would preach Christ in all
of scripture.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
But the didas Christos in a Gansen script treading, that.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
We would preach the Gospel from every text of scripture.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
If them faster shrift preading.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
This is something that grows out of our biblical theology
and are Covenant approached a theology.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Avexas on the first tentaness fantiluki.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Finis we preach Christ praying Christus no matter where we're preaching.
From guy Vas passages, we preach Christ praading Christos. And
in preaching Christ, the ministry of the Word calls forth
the bride.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
How then will they call on him whom they have
not believed? And how are they to believe in him
of whom they have never heard? And how are they
to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to
preach unless they are sent? As it is written? How
beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news?
But they have not all believed the gospel. For Isaiah

(42:54):
says Lord, who has believed what has what he has
heard from us? So faith comes from hearing and hearing
through the word of Christ.

The message of redemption is the very core of our preaching.

The boatshaft there and the fibung is that the the

The ira is the grund in an Indi indicat.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
Even as an exact, not only do we preach Christ,
we exalt christ We praiding Christos. Nothing is more beautiful
to his bride, so we exalt and extol his beauty. Yeah,
nothing is more beautiful to us, so we must exalt

(44:25):

That's just this Biebish's tradings.

calls forth the elect.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
This aspects Biebersi and prading that's written roofed.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
But as if we need more, there is more give.
The ministry of the Word also conforms the bride to
the image of the bridegroom.

The deans Vortus mat bright did brout the embild spot.

about the obedience of faith sat So this is not
just giving you more information, but this is actually working
righteousness in you. The man from its own gets pervert

who belonged to Christ must yearn to sit before the

(52:45):
ministry of the world.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
As things indeed defuntunsang. That's hiss that we must feed
on his word. There must laben fan zaim vat.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
We must feed on Christ.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
There must laben for christas.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
This is what happens when we protect the Lord's supper.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
That's this of us. I'm heaven by Italian name.

And we feed and feast on Christ the word.

Speaker 1 (53:31):

Speaker 2 (53:35):
Word, and it's a means of producing actual righteousness.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Since then, middle On grestish ka.

What's the Galatians three one through six.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
In Galata dr einst six.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
The entire tone and tenor of this letter.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Because I'm torn indive brief.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
Is one of outrage. It's son Paul is outraged that
the Galatians are leaving the grace of God and looking
to something else, as as.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Does the Galla tas what God is pala.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
As though they need something besides the Gospel to make
them righteous? Chapter three, verses one through six, Capit, oh,
foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you? It was before your
eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let

(54:45):
me ask you only this. Did you receive the spirit
by works of the law or by hearing with faith?
Are you so foolish? Having begun by the spirit? Are
you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer
so many things in vain? If indeed it was in vain?
Does he who supplies the spirit to you and works

(55:07):
miracles among you do so by works of the law
or by hearing with faith? Just as Abraham believed God,
and it was counted to him as righteousness.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Notice this sort of coupling here, if it's it's almost poetic.

This fashion poetish.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
This phrase by hearing with faith is repeated twice.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
The agra man hurtt glaud.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
First he asked, did you receive the spirit by works

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Then he asks, does he who supplies the spirit to

so by works of the law or by hearing with faith?

Speaker 1 (56:32):
And then far and vundewg and worked vigors the kundlouds.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
The question is by hearing what hern fun fun, by
hearing pragmatism the name on pragmatismus. Third, by hearing therapy,
by hearing mysticism myst sismus hurt no, by hearing the
word preached.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
Voters, by hearing.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
The gospel which is hers and not just hearing, but
hearing with faith. Remember we said it's not just the word,
that's means of grace. But the ministry of the Word
that just means of grace.

Speaker 1 (57:13):
Vartas is their deans.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
And when I say ministry of the Word, I mean
the ministry of the Holy Spirit through His word deans.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
This Vatas and the deans is highly in guised douts.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
Even this faith is a supernatural gift of the Spirit of.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
God glaubist and we are to disguised the Goddess.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
As Paul has said earlier and earlier in this same epistle,
chapter two, verses eight and nine of the Ephesians.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
The Ephesians, So the son I'm capital fun.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Two two vers. Eight and nine, and if he's, if
he's a competed's wife has afternoon. For by grace you
have been saved through faith. And this is not your
own doing. It is the gift of God, not as
a result of works.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
So that no one may boasts glad when.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
Is this? This is God's work, This is this is
the ministry of the Word.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
This is the deanstus.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Hence it is a means, but not a guarantee.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
I was just dynamited. This is kind of guarantee.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
This goes back to what we spoke of earlier.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
Just get the look of us this.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
And this is an important point to make. It is
not just the word. It is the ministry of the world.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
It's the deans, it is the work of the Spirit
through the words.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
This is why I would argue that you cannot separate
biblical preaching from prayer.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
That's making verticals beeblish as pradingish funibit strenen.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who
is to judge the living and the dead, and by
his appearing and his kingdom, preach the word. Be ready
in season and out of season. Reprove, rebuke, and exhort
with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming
when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears,

(01:03:42):
they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
and will turn away from listening to the truth and
wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober
minded in your suffering, do the work of an evangelist,
fulfill your minishizgringly.

I guess because I'm no longer a young preacher, and
young PREDI govin. And one of the questions that I'm
asked frequently is why bad churches seem to grow and flourish?

It does? It does all schlesta and a blooon not vaccine.

We're learning all the rules of proper preaching lands and

guys are beyond trying to impress one another, and the young,
the kings and actually began to preach the world, and
