a lot of things happen some response to
God whoa this teaching have opened my
eyes and helped me in so many ways I had
so many questions to the things you
explained and now I understand it
Hallelujah and I believe as we move on
we are building building building it
become more and more and more and more
clear now I understand it I thank God
for this teaching and I know it will
help so many people out there and open
their eyes and change their way of
thinking thank you for that I love that
response and uh so we are going to
continue today and we are going to build
on what we have talked about
already first lesson it was from
beginning to the new beginning and that
was like a timeline that's very
important where you see the greater
picture the last lesson was the Covenant
of
Abraham and I'll just show here what we
spoke about last time God gave a promise
to Abraham and his seed abra's children
Isaac and Jacob circumcision as a son
done by human hands circumcision was
cutting off the forkin that is the
uncleanness there were now God's chosen
people Israel Exiles and forers on Earth
HS to the promise looking for the
promised L and as we look at is a shadow
and picture and all point to Christ the
New Covenant the promise was to Abraham
and his
seed
Christ we are now a children to faith in
Christ baptized into Christ that is our
circumcision assign done by Christ or
the circumcision done by Christ in the
heart baptism is put it off the whole
flesh that was ruled by sin and death
the uncleanness so we don't need to walk
as slave to sin anymore we can walk in
Romans 6 freedom from sin again I have a
whole chapter listen about about that no
longer Jews and Gentiles but a new
creation and now God's chosen people or
we are God's chosen people together with
Israel and they still a Remnant and I I
spoke about that we are now Exile and
foreigners as we are in this world but
not part of this world we are hirs to
the promise looking for a Heavenly
country and a New Jerusalem that was
what I spoke about last time
today the lesson today lesson three is
called called out I will be their God
and they will be my people called
out in the beginning of this lesson I'm
we are going to do a little different we
are going to read a lot of lot of Bible
verses we're going to read whole
chapters and nor we don't do that in the
Liston read so much as we do and in the
beginning it can see a little slow
because there's a lot of information
there's a lot of Bible
verses but this become very very
powerful when you see it and and if you
can get this teaching if you can
understand that the
church is those who are called out if
you can understand this mess it and what
it is I'm trying to share it will change
you if we do that you stop compare
yourself with your neighbors and look at
them and how they're living and and stop
trying to make your church look like the
world and try to please the world why
because you are not of this world you
are called out that is what the church
should be and I feel that when I Was
preparing this and going through this
teaching here the last weeks it just
that that phrase have just been in my
mind
I'm called out we are called
out how do we make discip how do you
make
churches we make it as a please God
because we belong to him he called us
out as his holy people his Nation so
there's so many things we we will cover
here and it go a little slower in the
beginning but uh but then suddenly it
speeds up and and you will see it and
I'm excited for this
and he will bless you a lot and uh and I
want you to see we of course have a
break and and I want to welcome you to
this teaching we start in Acts 7 and uh
we read a lot of verses here but let's
start here and I'll try to go through
very fast
here brothers and fathers listen to me
the god of Glory appeared to Our Father
Abraham while he was still in
Mesopotamia before he lived in Haron
leave your country and your people God
said and go to the land I will show you
so he starts there with Abraham so
Abraham left the land and settle in
Haron after the death of his father God
sent him to this land where you now are
and are living He gave him no
inheritance here not
even enough ground to sit his feet on so
Abraham did not inherit but it it was
first laid out with his seed when his
offspring who will inherit the
land but God promised him that he and
his descendants after him would possess
the
land even though at the time Abram have
no children and we move on God spoke to
him in this way for 400 years your
descendant will be Stranger in a country
that is not their own and they will be
enslaved and
mistreated but I will punish the nation
that serve a slave God said and after
word they will come out of the country
and worship me in this place so so this
is what we looked at last time also and
this is quoting back there for Genesis
15 and then he he continues just going
through the story to give us
understanding of what happened those 400
years uh later also when they were
slaves and so on but let's read on then
he gave Abraham the Covenant of
circumcision as we looked at and abrah
became father to Isaac and circumcised
him the eighth day after his birth later
is said become the father of Jacob and
Jacob become the father of the 12
Patriarchs so here we have the story of
Israel Abraham Isaac Jacob and the 12ri
tribes of
Israel because of the patriarch was J
jealous of Joseph they sold him as a
slave to Egypt but God was with him and
rescued him from all his troubles I like
that TR try to be Joseph being thrown
into the pit being falsely accused be
thrown into jail troubles troubles
troubles but then we read here that God
res resued him from all his
troubles
um my life have been Liv my country
persecuted thrown into
jail and I can also say God rescue me
for all my troubles to be rescue for all
your troubles don't mean that you not go
through the troubles but it mean that
you will overcome the troubles you will
find Victory on the other side because
God are with you and I I I love this
verse here he then gave Joseph wisdom
and able him to gain the Good Will of
pharaoh the king of Egypt so Pharaoh
make him ruler over Egypt and all his
Palace then the famine struck all Egypt
and Cana bringing great suffering and
our ancestors could not find food when
Jacob heard that there was grain in
Egypt he sent our forefathers
on their first visit on their second
visit Joseph told his brothers who he
was and Pharaoh learned about Joseph
family and again wh wh why why do why do
Stephen start with this just talk about
Jesus no he need to start with this why
because it's all
connected and and we often don't talk
like that today but that was what they
was preaching of course they was
speaking to the Jews at that time but
you also see later when they talk to
Gentiles they also spoke about the God
of Abraham Isaac and Jacob they they
went back in history let's move on after
this Joseph sent for his father Jacob
and his whole family
75 in
all then Jacob came down to Egypt where
he and our ancestors died their bodies
was brought back to sh
and place in the Tomb that Abraham had
bought from the sons of Hammon at sham
for a certain sum of money as the time
drawn near for God to fulfill his
promise to Abraham the number of our
people in Egypt have greatly
increased so so we see here at the time
drawn near for God to fulfill his
promise to Abraham God had a plan from
beginning God still have a plan today
there was things that needed to happen
that Israel should become a nation
Abraham started with a man who became a
family who became a nation and it all
happened there in Egypt they came in as
a family and they left as a nation and
it needed to heaven but when the time
draw near for God to fulfill that
promise what promise was that that he
will set them free from slavery he will
call them out of Egypt to go out to
worship God and there's a message here
and we're going to look at this message
today we
continues then a new king to whom Joseph
meant nothing came to power in Egypt he
was very evil and dishonest with our
people he beat them down and forced them
to throw out their first newborn babies
to
die at that time Moses and we see again
a picture with Christ and Moses how we
have Herod who wanted to kill all the
firstborn so Joseph took Moses and fled
and Jesus and fled to Egypt for a time
and then came back to Jerusalem and and
here it was Moses who they tried to kill
so
come back to many many things later at
that time Moses was born and he was not
our orinary child for three months he
was taken care of for his family when he
was placed outside Pharaoh's daughter
took him and brought him up as her own
son Moses was educated in all the wisdom
of the Egypts and was powerful in speech
and action
a few more slides here I know there's a
lot of story but it is important when
Moses was 40 years old he decided to
visit his own people the Israelite he
saw one of them being mistreated by
Egyptian and he went to defend and
Advance him by killing the Egyptian
Moses thought that his own people were
recognized that God have used him to
rescue them but they did not it didn't
go to way Moses expected and it often
works like that also with you and me the
next day Moses Came Upon two Israelite
who was fighting and he tried to
reconcile them by saying man you are
brothers why do you want to hurt each
other but the man who was mistreated the
other pushed Moses aside and said who
make you ruler and judge over us I like
that
part are you thinking of killing me as
you killed the Egyptian yesterday when
mosa heard this he fled to medium where
he settled as a f or have two sons after
40 years have passed a angel appeared
for Moses in the Flaming flames of a
burning bush in the desert near Mount
Si when he saw this he was amazed of the
side side and he went over to get a
closer look and then he heard the lord
said I am the god of your fathers the
god of Abraham Isaac and
Jacob Moses trembled with fear and did
not dare to
look then the Lord said to him take off
your sandal for the place you standing
Are Holy Ground I have indeed SE the
oppression of my PE people in Egypt I
have heard their groaning and have come
down to sit them free now come I will
send you back to
Egypt and then we read this is the same
Moses they had rejected with the words
who make you ruler and judge he was sent
to be the ruler and delivered by God
himself to the angel who appeared to him
in the bush I like that it's it's not
about being seen by people and called by
people it's by being called by God so
they rejected Moses but God called him
they said who have made
you the ruler and jge over us and the
answer is godhe and God did it but let's
read on and just one more here and then
we I want to share
something he let them out of Egypt and
perform wonders and signs in Egypt and
the Red Sea and for 40 years in the
wilderness this is the Moses who told
the Israelite God will raise up for you
a prophet like me from your own people
this is one of the key verses we are
going to come back to again and again
and again he tell a story
here to share that as they had
Moses we now have Jesus Jesus is the one
Moses spoke about Jesus is the one that
go back to creation that go back to Noah
go back to Abraham Isaac jaob Jacob to
go back to our for fathers and then he
talk about Moses in the story and he
actually talk about Moses and he talk
about the Tabernacle he talk about josa
he talk about David he talk about
Salomon he talk about how
Salomon make a drilling place from
God but we know that God don't drill in
houses built by human
hands and therefore we have Christ and
and so we read a a one story a long
story he continues as I said talk about
Joshua and he bring David in there and
and then he said that that God wanted to
make make a dwelling place with the
people and then how Salon build a house
for God and then he end up here however
the most high does not live in houses
made by human hands as a prophet said
Heaven is my throne and the Earth is my
foot stool what kind of house would you
build for me as the Lord said so here
there's one long story and we know that
Christ
came and he rose again and he is now the
one building the house for God by Living
Stones you and me you and me are the
Temple of the Holy Spirit but say a lot
of things to bring out of this text but
one of the key
verses is that God will raise up a
prophet like me from your own
people and who is that Prophet that
Prophet is
Christ and like we read here like
Stephen go through the whole history
when he was preaching the gospel we see
Peter did the same a few chapters before
somehow he the way he preached here he
said
here now fellow Israelite I know that
you acted in ignorance as your leaders
and he talk about Christ and Christ
being
crucified but this is how God fulfilled
what had been for told through all the
prophet saying that his Messiah would
suffer so he's he's saying that Christ
crucified need to heaven because it was
foretold through the prophet it was it
was what God Said and then he continue
repent then and turn to God so that your
sins may be wiped out and time of
refreshing may come from the Lord and
that he God may send the Messiah who
have been appointed for you even Jesus I
want to notice something
here he said
repent so your sins can be wiped out and
the time of refresh will come that God
may send the
Messiah when did he said that when when
did he say that before the cross that
hey repent because God want to send the
Messiah he said it after the
cross after the cross he say repent why
because time of refreshing may come from
the Lord and God may send the Messiah
but have God not already sent him yes he
was already sent and he have died on the
cross but he rose up
again and he will be sent a second
time and we don't think like that we
don't think hey God we send the Messiah
yeah but yeah
again we are waiting for God to send the
Messiah let's read on here Heaven Must
receive him Heaven Must receive him that
was after Jesus rose again until the
time come from God to restore Everything
Jesus came first time he did not restore
everything back first time he came he
came to pay the price all authority is
be given to him he's in heaven now until
the time come where God will restore
everything is all in God's timing and
planning like it was with Abraham and
what God spoke to him and with Moses so
he's now in Heaven until the time come
as he promised long time ago through his
holy
prophets for Moses said and he said the
same God the Lord God will raise up from
you a prophet for like me from your own
people
you must listen to him listen to
everything he tells you and everyone who
did not listen to him will be completely
cut off from their
people this is the same language we saw
in the last letter with the Covenant to
Abraham everyone is not being
circumcised will be cut off the people
they will not inherit
now God have raised up a prophet like
Moses and that is Jesus Christ and now
we must listen to him and everyone who
do not listen to him will be cut off
they will not
inherit and he's now in heaven and we
are now waiting the Messiah to come down
from heaven to restore everything as he
said and this is the words here Heaven
Must receive him until the
time for God to restore everything as he
promised long time ago it's all
according to God's plan and God's
timeline I want to add second Peter here
second Peter 3:9 is saying this the Lord
is not show slow in keeping his
promise as some understand slowness
instead he's patient with you not
wanting everyone anyone to perish but
everyone to come to
repentance God is not slow in keeping
his promise it's all according to God's
timeline but God is patience with
you with me he don't want anyone to
Parish but that we all come to
repentance and this is the message we
need to
preach it's according to God's timeline
and what we are going to see now we're
going to bring one thing up in in what
Stephen said and I want to focus on
this Stephen said this
before this is the Moses who told Israel
God will raise up a prophet like me from
his own people but notice here
this was him who was in the church in
the wilderness with the angel who spoke
to Moses on Mount
Si notice the word
here this was him who was in the church
in the
wilderness was there a church in the
Wilderness at the time of Moses
yes there was we read that here the
church in the
wilderness but they there was thousand
of
years before Christ there was no cross
there was no church building there was
no Sunday meeting the way we have it
today and a few songs and worship and so
on but when Stephen talked about
the people in the Old Testament he used
the word the
church the Israelites what were they
they were the church in the
wilderness like we are the church
today how shall we understand
this how can they be the church at that
time the the problem with us when we
read a word like this there were the
churs in the wilderness is that when we
hear the word
churs right away we think of something
completely else many think of a church
building the church I go to the church
you cannot go to the church you cannot
go to a church building or I'm sitting
in the church right now and we look at
building it's just a building that that
is not the choice
what is it with the word church the word
church here is Ecclesia Ecclesia and we
read here what it means it come from the
word are calling out or called out the
churs are the people that is called
out if you belong to the church if you
are the church let's say like this you
should be called
out called out from where from
Egypt the israelit was called out from
Egypt or like Noah we saw last time they
were called out from this evil perverse
generation first Peter is saying this
you are chosen people our royal
priesthood our holy nation
God's special possessions and he said
that to the Jews and it's still for the
Jews today also but he now he's actually
addressing us Gentiles because we we are
taking part of this so he's saying that
to us that you may declare the praise of
him who called you
out of Darkness into his wonderful light
we are called out we should be called
out we should not live in darkness
anymore we should live in light that
there should be a big difference between
those who are the church God's people
and those who are not second Corinthians
Paul said this here what argument is
there between the temple of God and
Idols for we are the Temple of the
Living God and God has said I will be
with them and walk amongst them and I
will be their God and they will be my
people
therefore come come out from them and be
separate said the Lord touch no unclean
thing and I will receive you this is the
message to the church
today we there is a promise here and
what is that the promise that go through
the whole Bible is I will walk with
them I will be their God and they will
be my people that is the promise I will
walk talk with them they will be my God
and I will be their people
therefore come
out come out from them come out of Egypt
come away from this Wick perverse
generation as we looked at last time
come out of e Egypt and be separate
touchs no unclean things
and I will receive you that is the
promise we need to come
out why because God is
Holy and he cannot have with sin and
this is the
message and and and Peter he
continues a little where Paul Liv Paul
said this Peter he said this
here therefore with Minds that are alert
and fully sobered set your hope to the
grace that have been brought to you when
Jesus Christ is Reve is revealed as his
coming so we should be alert sober
minded and we should set the hope to the
grace that is been brought to us when
Jesus Christ is revealed and he's coming
as obedient CH children do not conform
to the evil desires you had when you
live in
ignorance but just as him who called you
is Holy be holy in all you do all you do
as it is written be holy because I am
Holy since you call on a father who
judge each person work live out your
time as forer here in Revel fear
be holy as I am
Holy that is the message come out of her
touch no unclean thing and I will be
with you that is the
church but if I look at the church today
if we think of the church today do we
see this do we see that that the church
is separated from the world world or do
we see the church is part of the world
do we not dress up like the world do we
not listen to the music like the world
do we not talk as the world do we in the
church not see as much divorce and
remarriage as we see in the world and
the truth is the church have not come
out of Egypt yet yet not the way we are
supposed to and we're going to look at
this we are the temp of the the Living
God God he will live with us and walk
among us he will be our God and we will
be his people but for him to do that we
need to what come out from them and be
separate touch no unclean thing and then
I will receive you there was the promise
God gave to the
Israelites and that is the promise gave
to
us but read here they the Israelite they
had that promise from
God but first they need to come out from
those they were enslaved by in order to
enter into the promise they were
enslaved in Egypt and then Moses came
and called them out in the same way we
are enslaved by our own Egypt we are
enslaved by Babylon and we now need to
come out and be separated in order to
receive what God has
promised and Al as we're going to see
later in in this chapter is
that there will be a a judgment coming
and
Babylon will
fall and if we are not coming out of
Babylon if we are
not coming out of Egypt if we are not
coming out of Sodom and gorra if we are
not being saved by from this wicked
generation we will be judg together with
this wicked evil
generation and what is the church the
church is those people who have come out
the church is those people who have been
separated from this world the church is
those people who are in the world but we
are not part of the world the church is
not those people who dress up every
Sunday and go to church for a few hours
and sing some songs and then go home and
then the rest of the week see the same
movies listen to the same musics talk
the same talk and live like the
neighbors if we live like this world we
will be judged with this world and we
need to understand this that that we are
being justified but then we need to be
Sanctified otherwise we will not be
glorified that day when he
returns and and that is the message that
is the gospel we see with the
Israelites when we then look at us today
you and me we have received the grace of
God but what is the grace of God the
grace of God is not just a cover up of
sin the grace of God is actually here to
help us to set us free from sin to teach
us to transform us listen to what Titus
is saying here for the grace of God have
appeared to offer salvation to all
people it teaches us to say no to
ungodliness and worldly passs and live
self-control upright and godly lives in
this present age so in this present age
we have received the Holy Spirit who
help us to live holy or we have received
the grace of God to help us to live holy
while we wait for the blessing hope the
appearing of the glory of our great God
and Savior Jesus Christ who gave himself
for us to redeem us from what from all
wickedness and to purify for himself our
people that are his own people eager to
do what is good so Christ gave himself
for us to redeem us from
sin and to purify for himself a
people that are his
own Christ died to save us from our sins
but much more more than
that he died to
purify for
himself his own
people a people that is called out of
this world a people who are separated a
people who TS no unclean things so God
can come and receive us so he can can be
our God and we can be his people the
church and this is some of the things we
are looking at here and it's going to be
very very interesting as we move on here
and and we are going to have a break now
and then after a break we are going to
look at at at the fall of Babylon and
what that mean and and and how how is
all one story that God is longing
for people of his
own but God is
Holy and if God would just come down as
it was everyone would be killed so
therefore he sent his son Jesus to
redeem us from our sins but also to
purify a
people where God he can say this is my
people and he wanted that with the
Israelite in the
desert but they
didn't complete the race they didn't do
it they kept looking back over the
shoulder yes they left Egypt but Egypt
never left them and therefore they did
not enter into the promised land and
this is standing as a warning for you
and me today and this is some of the
things we're going to look at after the
break
[Music]
so we are going to continue now and the
fall of Babylon and that is talking
about Revelation 18 and we read
here after these things I saw another
angel coming down from heaven he have a
great Authority and His glory filled the
Earth with light with a mighty voice he
shouted falling Babylon the Great have
falling see had become a place for where
demons live she had become the den of
every evil spirit she had become the
nest of every unclean and hated bird all
the nation have drunk the strong wine of
a terrible sin the kings of the earth
took part of her evil ways the traitors
of the world grew Rich from her grave
will everyone is many people discussing
what is the mystery Babylon today is it
this and this and this but I want to
come with the message here so there will
be a fall of Babylon there will be a
fall a judgment coming to this world as
we saw with the days of Noah as we saw
with with Sodom and gorra and then Peter
he's saying this here second Peter
2 later God condemned the cities of s
and G and turn them into heaps and Ashes
he made them a symol of what will happen
to ungodly people and that is the
message God had made all of these
examples of what will happen today again
with ungodly people but God rescu lot
out of Sodom man because he was a
righteous man who was sick I would say
sick in his stomach of the shameful
immorality of the wicked people around
him yes L was a righteous man who was
torment in his soul by the wickedness he
saw and heard day after day so you see
the Lord knows how to rescue godly
people from their trials even while
keeping the wicked under punishment
until the day of final judgment so here
we have lot who was was in Sodom Andorra
while he was there his soul was torment
because of all the wickedness he
saw because of the righteousness he
had he was sing his stomach for what he
saw
happened the truth
is I feel
that that sickness in my stomach of
sin but it's not just sin I see in in
the
world it's sin I see in the
church and that is the thing instead of
we coming out of Egypt we have brought
Egypt
into the
church and and and there is a message
here for all of
us first you need as a born again
believer who will live a righteous life
you you should be sick in it in your
stomach you be should be sick in your
stomach over all the evilness you see
when you see TV when you hear music but
the truth is we have being so used to it
we are like we we fill ourselves with a
lot of things and we don't we are not
torment anymore in our righteous soul
with everything that's happening around
us why this is how it should be we
should feel like
this we should feel be like this with
everything that's
happening but all of this is a messing
that is pointing to today Jesus also
talked about it when he said here in
Luke just as it was in the days of Noah
so it will be in the days of the man son
of man so as it was with Noah as it was
with Sodom lot it would be today people
was eating drinking Mary and being given
in Mary up to the day Noah enter into to
the ark when the flood came and
destroyed them all it was the same in
the days of
Lord people was eating and drinking
build buying and selling Planning and
Building but the day Lord left Sodom
fire and Surfer rain down from heaven
and destroyed them all it will be just
like this on the day the son of man is
raled
so this is how it will
be each story you see in the Bible we
see that people are called
out are called to leave
leave this wicked World leave Egypt
leave Sodom and gorra and now we should
leave Babylon we should come out of this
system out of this
world be not conformed to this
world but be renewed in our mind be
transformed to be
purified as God's people dear friend I
urge you AO Jo Exiles and that is what
we are we are F joh exiled we need to
look at ourself and finders and exiled
we are pilgrims we are soul Jers on our
journey here we are in the world but we
are not part of the world we are live in
Egypt we are live in Babylon we we are
being purified to be God's holy people
so we will not be judged with the rest
when fire is coming down from
heaven I urge you as for joh exile to ex
abstain from sinful desire which weit
war against your soul live such good
life among the pagans that though they
accuse you are doing wrong they will see
your good deeds and glorify God on the
day he visit us live Source
alive amongst the
pagans a
Christian a disciple of Christ is not
somebody who who who
just live in the world who is where
Christ just cover our sin is somebody
who is have left a in the world but have
somehow left this world we still here
but now we are living a life here
amongst the pagans those who don't know
God we we we live amongst those who
don't know God but we don't live like
those
who who don't know God and and I want to
say the other
day uh we have some friends where we
just heard the other day how
how a friend have actually just left his
wife and and found a a woman not a woman
and and they getting divorced and we saw
that we saw it on Facebook and and my
wife Lena showed it to me and came and
said look here and I was just shocked
and like what is happening and me and my
wife we have a talk about it and and we
we just said
that if you try to live like the
world you will fall you cannot live you
cannot be a Christian and live like
everyone
else and and we can just see that
there's so many people who love Jesus
who accept Jesus but they never really
been separated with this world they they
try to live like the Norms of this world
they they they build houses and cars and
work and do everything else and are busy
like this world and slowly this world is
just coming in more and more and more
and it's much easier to live as a
disciple if you just live radical out
there you need to live a life in Revival
you need to live out there understand
who you are God's chosen people a holy
nation we live amongster Pagan but we
are not we don't live like the P pagans
we are far on exile we abstain from from
a sinful desire we live among them but
we do not live like
them and the problem with the
Israelites in the Old Testament that we
are going to look at is that
they were truly called by God and they
left
Egypt physical they left Egypt but Egypt
never left them
Egypt never left them they keep looking
back over the shoulder it was Bigg
better that time they keep
sinning they did like Lot's wife looked
over the shoulder and became a salt a
pillow of
salt we should not look over the
shoulder we should not look back to the
old life we we we should move forward we
should have our Focus where we are
going and the Israelite they have
everything we had they were the
churs in the wilderness they were the
church they had it
all but still they did not enter into
the promised land and this stand as a
strong warning to you and me so this is
what Paul said about the
church for do not for I do not want you
to be ignoring of the facts brothers and
sisters that our ancestors
were all under the cloud and that they
all passed through the Red Sea they were
all baptized to Moses like we are
baptized into Christ in the cloud and in
the sea so spirit and water baptized to
Moses they all eat of the same spiritual
food that was the Mana coming down from
heaven that is our communion today we
are eating the Heavenly communion
they drink all of the same spiritual
drink they keep being full of the spirit
like we are commanded to in Ephesians
don't get drunk by wine but be full of
the spirit they had it all they drink
from the spirit a rock that accomplished
them and that rock was Christ Christ was
with them in the wilderness The Rock was
Christ they were the church in the
wilderness and and there's a whole story
here The Rock was Christ and The Rock
David through was Christ who killed the
golad and that is the prophet of Daniel
of this the giant the Nations that would
be destroyed and and that small rock the
stone will become a great mountain and I
have a lesson about that later when we
are looking at at King David and we're
looking at the Book of Daniel and
Revelation but what we need to
understand
that the church in the wilderness they
had it
all
nevertheless
nevertheless God was not pleased with
most of them and their bodies were
shattered in the
wilderness and he
continues now these thing
occurs occurred as
examples to keep us you and me
to keep us from sitting our hearts on
evil things as they did so they had it
all and us who are the church
today we should read the story of the
Israelite and how they were the church
called out of Egypt but we should see
how they went wrong and we should learn
from that we should learn from that but
I don't feel many have learned from it
because there's no different and as St
in not enter into the Promised Land
There is many many
people in the churches today who will
not enter into the promised land why
they have never been separated from
Egypt they maybe left Egypt but Egypt
are still in them they still keep
looking over their
shoulder and and Paul continue with
warning to us do not be adulterers as
some of them were as is written the
people sat down to eat and drink and got
up and indulged in
Ry we should not commit sexual
immorality as some of them did on that
day
23,000 of them was killed we should not
test Christ as some of them did and they
were killed by snakes and he come with
that list and do not Grumble I like that
that is get with everything else as some
of them did and they were killed by the
destroying Angel do not Grumble oh it
was better of that time oh it's hard
it's
hard it's hard to be a Christian it's
hard to follow Christ it was B at that
time back in the world in this I could
just live in sin and live in my
ignorance and and
just like like we should not speak like
that yes we are maybe walking in a
desert yes we are walking into a
Wilderness yes we are exiled here on
Earth yes we are thirsty yes we are it's
not easy but but we have a goal and that
is the promised land we are not looking
back to where we came from we are
looking forward to what is coming and
that is where the strength is when I was
in jail I could have grumbled about
everything and there was a lot of things
that was not good the food was not good
they found small
maggots or box in the food the food was
not cooked there was strik sometimes the
whole pot d stride and didn't want to
eat food and was complaining and
hammered the doors and making a lot of
noise and the guards came in and they
locked us down and people was
complaining complaining complaining but
I'm like it don't help me it don't help
to complain it helped to have the right
attitude and and that was the different
the attitude what we focus on and that's
why people came into me and said Tom why
are you so happy why are you so free you
should not be like that you have been
treated unfair but you don't complain
you don't Grumble no I Rejoice why
because my focus is right I'm I'm
looking at I know I'm in a journey I
know I'm in a race and I don't want to
be disqualified in this race I want to
be purified and God's God is purifying
me to those things I go to so I become
more like
him I'm I'm called out I'm his church we
are the
church and then he said these things
happen to them as
examples and it was written down so this
is written down the story of the
Israelites save out of Egypt the church
in the wilderness was written
down as a warning to us to whom the
comination of the ages have come so if
you think you are standing firm be
careful that you don't
fall before all of this Paul he said
something and and we put a chapter in
and often we divide the letters in
chapters and that is a mistake because
it's all connected a few verses before
on to this Paul he said this do you not
know and I want to say this to you do
you not know do you know do you not know
that in a race all are running but only
one get the
price try to think of the Israelite they
were slave in Egypt they were saved out
of Egypt
but that was not the end of the race to
be Sav was not the end of the race to be
saved out of Egypt was the
beginning of the
race how were they saved out of Egypt
that is the next lesson we're going to
look at how they were
saved through the unlim bread that is
the repentance to the blood of the land
that is the blood to the Red Sea to the
pillar of light and the cloud there were
that that is our new birth we are seeing
here how they were saved out of Egypt we
are being saved out of
Babylon and how there were pilgrims and
and strangers walking through the desert
with the Fus the promised land the same
way we are now in our
race and we are here to finish the race
but I've seen many people who like hey I
am safe now h Hallelujah and they just
stand there and waiting for Christ to
come not being purified not understand
that there is a raise not understand
that we are running to get a crown that
will never perish or Fade Away we are
running for the eternal life and he says
that run in such a way that you get the
price what price the promise the eternal
life the
inheritant everyone who compete in a
game go into St training strict training
they do it to get a crown that would not
last but we we do what we go into strict
training to get a crown that would last
forever therefore I do not run like
somebody running
aimlessly I do not fight like a box of
Bea in the air no I strict a blow to my
body and make it my slave so it's not
following the flesh of your dis body and
your desires no you you kill that body
and make it
obedient become your slave so uh yeah i
s a blow to my body and make it my slave
so that after I have preached to
others I myself will not be disqualified
for the
price I am preaching to you right
now but I can still be
disqualified for the
price and then he moved on and talk
about the Israelites how they had it all
how they have Christ the Rock with them
how they left Egypt how they were
baptized into Moses in the cloud and in
the sea how they ate of the spirit of
food the Mana the communion all of it
they had it all but still they were all
disqualified and they were save out but
they did not enter
into there somebody say one safe always
safe if you just pray this prayer do
this you are one safe and nothing can
take away from you that is a lie we are
not one saved yet because it's only
those who are victorious who is inherit
all this as we talked about that we will
one day if we have washed our
garment by the blood of the Lamb if we
are
clean we will enter into that to the
gate and we will take off the tree of
life and live
forever do you know this do you not know
that we in a
race do you go into strict training do
you strike a blow to your body and make
it obey you do you fear to be
disqualified this is how it should be so
the church what is that that is the
people who are called out God's holy
nation God gave a promise what is the
promise I will walk with you I will be
your God and you be my people but for
that to happen we need to come out from
them and be separated TS no unclean
thing and I will be your God we are in
the world but we are not part of the
world we should come out of Babylon
before it fall and judgment God will
raise up a prophet like Moses they had
Moses the law of Moses we're going to
look at that we have Christ the law of
Christ more about that later oby
him do you not know evildoers will not
inherit the kingdom of God again we we
are not talking about just a spiritual
kingdom here we are talking about a real
Kingdom coming down from heaven new
heaven new Earth New Jerusalem Heavenly
Jerusalem the Garden of Eden evildoers
will not inherit the kingdom of God do
not be deceived neither sexual immoral
or adulter and adulterous nor man who
have sex with man or thief or greedy or
drunkenness or Slanders or singers will
inherit the kingdom of
God and that is what some of you
were but you were called out you were
separated you were wased you were
Sanctified you were justified in the
name of Lord Jesus Christ by the spirit
of
God some of you some of you were like
that today
I want to say something when when you
say touch no unclean and be
separated I I'm we're going to look much
more later on the law of Moses and the
law of Christ because we are not under
the law Moses so it's not like we should
be in a Monas and be monks we we should
just be transformed we should be renewed
we we should put off the old life and
put on the new life listen what
Colossians saying since you have been
raised to a new life with Christ set
your side on the reality of
Heaven set your side on this reality on
heaven where Christ sits in the place of
honor at God's right hand do you do you
think of that do you do you like think
of Christ sitting at in heaven right now
at God's right hand and
soon he will come back here when time
have come where God will send the
Messiah and he will set up the kingdom
as
promised and we will get a new Heavenly
Body and get our reward think about the
things of heaven and not things on earth
if most
Christians think more more Heavenly
thing Spirit Earthly thing than Heavenly
thing is like heaven is is far away from
them they desires like what what do we
live for like buying a house buying a
car taking education it's all almost
like it's all this world and like this
world is just disappearing and and we
all go to heaven like like already now
when we are on this journey Pilgrim
aliens strangers walking running the
race toward the promised SL with a
warning that we should not do like the
Israelite while we are here and running
we should sit our side on the reality of
heaven and not things of this Earth for
you died to this
life you died to this life and your real
life is hidden with Christ in God and
when Christ who is your life is revealed
the whole to the whole world you will
share in his
glory we now we were Justified we are
now being
Sanctified so we one day will share in
his glory so we one day will be
glorified that is our journey the
Israelite was saved out of Egypt and
then in the desert they should be
transformed and purified so they could
enter
in to the promised land but they fail
that
sanctification they keep going back and
they stand as a warning to you and me
that the church in the wilderness did
not make it and the church many places
today will also not make it if we don't
get this message
right so put to death the
sinful Earthly things
looking within you put today
have nothing to do with sexual
immorality impurity lost evil desires do
not be
greedy for the a greedy person is
adulterer worshiping the things of this
world this is a strong warning to you
and me he continues because of these
sins the anger of God is coming you used
to do these things when your life was
still part
of this world when you are part of Egypt
when you are part of Babylon when you
part of this world and the mindset of
this world but now you at the church
what do that mean you are called out of
this
world so so we are not part of this
world anymore but now as the church it
is time to get rid of
anger as the church it's time to get rid
of Rage Mel Behavior
slander time to get rid of slander
slander dirty
language don't lie to each other for you
have stripped off your old sinful nature
with all the wicked
Deeds put
off get rid off and then put on first
you get rid of and then you put on the
new nature to be renewed
as you learn to know your Creator and
become like
him in this new life it does not matter
if you are Jew or Gentile circumcised or
uncircumcised barbaric on civilian slave
or free Christ is all that matters and
he live in all of
us we continue here since God chose
you or called
you out to be his Ecclesia to be his
church since God God chose you to be his
church to be the holy people he love
that is the same we are the holy people
God love we are his
church that is how it should be you must
clothe yourself with tender hardness mer
tenderhearted Mercy kindness humility
gentleness and
patient make allowance for each others
fault and
forgive anyone who offend you remember
the Lord forgave you so you must also
forgive other above all clothe yourself
with love which binds all of this
together in Perfect Harmony what a
beautiful beautiful beautiful verses
here this is the church this is our call
this is our
desire there should happen a
transformation people should come into
our churches and see all of
this but I have been in churches where I
come in and it's it's almost like a
concert it's like the world people speak
like the world they dress like the world
that talk the the they behave like the
world and then we say we are the
church let let the warning of the Bible
with the israelit stands strong for us
so we will not be disqualified in the
race and he
continues and let the peace that comes
from Christ rule in your
heart for as members as one body you are
called to live in peace and always be
thankful let the mess about Christ in
all its riches fill your lives teach and
consel each other with all the wisdom he
gives sing Psalms hymns and spiritual
songs to God with thankful hearts that
is the message I want to
share think of the church as
not a building not an
organization not of
nonprofit not of church
denomination not as a meeting activities
you go
to but as a group of people who are
called
out call out of this world to be
transformed to be holy like God is Holy
so we one day can be glorified with him
and that is what we're going to look at
later as we move on the justification
the sanctification the glorification and
and next
teaching we're going to look at how they
were called out and the way the
Israelite was called out of Egypt is the
same way we are called out of Egypt this
world today and it's not just a nice
pray this prayer ask this into your
heart and congratulation you are called
out there's more than this so what have
we learned
God wants a people that is his that is
the whole message of the Bible from the
Garden of Eden God wants a people that
is his people God long to have a people
who will be his where he can be their
God Walk with them in the cool of the
day as he did with Adam and Eve in the
garden of
Edom After Fall he found Abraham so
after fall and the flood God found
Abraham and gave him a pro gave a
promise to him and from him came Isaac
and Jacob we got Israel as a nation but
they were still in Egypt enslaved to
this world so he found Moses to call
them out from Egypt to worship him in
the wilderness then we have the church
the church first the church in the
wilderness did not understand that they
were God's called out
people that they were a holy nation or
was supposed to be a holy nation they
continued in sin and looked back to
their old life and in the end
they were
rejected and did not enter into the
promised land serving as a warning for
you and me when I say they there was
that generation who did not enter in but
but we know that um Joshua and Caleb
they took the Next Generation in Moses
he did not enter in himself he only he
saw the promised land he actually
entered in later on the Mount of
figuration with Christ himself but we're
going to come back to that later so he
saw it but but not there but it's very
interes there's a lot of story here
because Moses brought them to the
promised land but he could not bring
them in he need another person that was
Joshua that means Jesus Joshua is the
name of Jesus so Moses brought them to
the promised land but it was Jesus who
brought them into the promised land and
the same the law can bring us only so
far but it's Christ who bring us the
whole way in but there was the church
there and the church in the Old
Testament stand as a warning for you and
me put off and put put on we become
God's called out God's Church through
repentance baptism water and receive the
Holy
Spirit but it doesn't stop
there now we are to continue to put off
the old way of thinking and the old way
of living and instead put on the new man
being renewed to become like God our
Father
one day
glorified when we are justified in
Christ the grace of God the Holy Spirit
we looked at is teaching us and
transforming us with is also called
sanctification if we let him do that and
continue in Christ we will one day be
glorified as we enter into the promised
land and this was what I wanted to share
today and I really encourage
you follow the whole
school as as we take pieces of pieces
and pieces like pieces of a big puzzle
and you see one piece there you see one
piece there you see one piece there you
see one piece there and sudden you see
the whole picture and everything makes
sense in a new way and and the message
today you need to understand is that
there was a church in the Old Testament
and it was called out from Egypt and we
are now called out so we will not be
judged together with this world and we
are now being Sanctified so we one day
will be glorified and next lesson I'm
going to look at how the church was
called out the same way we are
today um but let let's before we
completely end up here let let me pray
for all of you out there God we thank
you for your word we thank you for the
truth and what we have heard
today God help us to not be deceived
help us to not be
disqualified help us to run the race
that's in front of us help us to
understand this journey we are on as
pilgrims and strangers here on Earth
walking through the Wilderness toward
the promised
land pray for everyone who has seen this
that you will speak to them that the
true fear of you will come into their
hearts that they will understand saying
that they cannot be like this
world and and live like this world and
then inherit what you have for them God
but they need to be separated they need
to be the called out the Church the true
church God come with your Holy Spirit
and remind them of things they need to
put off in their
life and help them to put on this new
life God help us God to to learn from
this God come with your Holy Spirit open
our eyes and help us to continue running
the race and serving you and as a
disciple preaching the gospel of the
kingdom and demonstrating the power
thereof God in Healing The Sick and
cting out demons God and seeing people
being born again God come with your Holy
Spirit In The Name of Jesus amen God
bless you all out there and again go in
and and share this series with other
people invite other people to join this
is important and and as we move on it
become more more strong and clear as
more pieces are falling in place and we
see more more the greater picture of all
of it this life this journey this race
we on God bless you bye-bye
