00:16:55.000 | >> Good morning, church family.
00:17:07.000 | Happy Lord's Day.
00:17:09.000 | Happy Lord's Day.
00:17:11.000 | It's good to be with you, and I've just been meditating on just our gathering week to week,
00:17:16.000 | and so challenged by what we are doing.
00:17:21.000 | And we come week to week, and oftentimes it gets into a routine.
00:17:26.000 | And why we gather together is to come together as the body of Christ to gain motivation,
00:17:32.000 | to gain insight, to gain a rallying, so to speak.
00:17:37.000 | Whether we're doing things that are difficult or things that are happening week to week that are difficult,
00:17:44.000 | and many of us are going through those kind of things.
00:17:47.000 | But this is a time where we can come and focus our attention on who God is, what he's done for us,
00:17:53.000 | that as we sing these songs, that we reflect our love for him.
00:17:57.000 | So this first song, it's a call to worship.
00:18:00.000 | It's a big song, but we're going to have you remain seated.
00:18:03.000 | But just understand, and I hope and pray that as we continue to gather together week to week,
00:18:09.000 | that we come with a sober mind, that we come with a desire to see our God's name magnified.
00:18:16.000 | [Silence]
00:18:22.000 | [Music]
00:18:33.000 | Let's come and praise.
00:18:35.000 | Come praise and glorify our God, the Father of our Lord.
00:18:43.000 | In Christ he has in heavenly realms his blessings on us all.
00:18:51.000 | For pure and blameless in his sight, he destined us to be.
00:18:59.000 | And now we've been adopted through his Son eternally.
00:19:06.000 | Yes, Lord.
00:19:09.000 | To the praise of your glory, to the praise of your mercy and grace.
00:19:17.000 | To the praise of your glory, you are the God who saved.
00:19:30.000 | Come praise.
00:19:31.000 | Come praise and glorify our God, who gives his grace in Christ.
00:19:39.000 | In him our sins are washed away, redeemed through sacrifice.
00:19:47.000 | In him God has made known to us the mystery of his will.
00:19:54.000 | Yes, that Christ.
00:19:55.000 | That Christ should be the head of all, his purpose to fulfill.
00:20:03.000 | To the praise.
00:20:05.000 | To the praise of your glory, to the praise of your mercy and grace.
00:20:13.000 | To the praise of your glory, you are the God who saved.
00:20:22.000 | [MUSIC]
00:20:44.000 | Come praise and glorify our God, for we believe the word.
00:20:52.000 | And through our faith we have a seal, the Spirit of the Lord.
00:21:00.000 | The Spirit guarantees our hope until redemption's done.
00:21:07.000 | Until.
00:21:08.000 | Until we join in endless praise to God the free and one.
00:21:15.000 | Yes, Lord.
00:21:17.000 | To the praise of your glory, to the praise of your mercy and grace.
00:21:25.000 | To the praise of your glory, you are the God who saved.
00:21:33.000 | To the praise of your glory, to the praise of your mercy and grace.
00:21:41.000 | To the praise of your glory, you are the God who saved.
00:21:51.000 | Amen.
00:21:52.000 | All right, good morning.
00:21:57.000 | Welcome to Breen Community Church.
00:22:00.000 | Let me get started with our announcements.
00:22:02.000 | First of all, just to kind of give you a heads up, we have a church -- all church praise and prayer that's coming up.
00:22:09.000 | Not this coming Friday, but the Friday after, just to make sure that you put that on your calendar.
00:22:14.000 | Also, the family ministry retreat, again, August 12th through the 14th.
00:22:18.000 | So as you go outside, as you're entering to the cafe, you'll see a booth over there.
00:22:23.000 | If you haven't signed up yet, please go there and sign up after service.
00:22:26.000 | At least let them know that you are planning to come to that.
00:22:31.000 | And then, SAM245, their meeting is going to be happening on 5/28.
00:22:35.000 | So if you've already signed up for it, you should have gone -- be getting contact and let you know what's going on with that.
00:22:41.000 | And then, summer VBS.
00:22:43.000 | So those of you parents who have small children, elementary age, it's happening July 11th through the 15th.
00:22:50.000 | So the preparation for that is already happening.
00:22:52.000 | So they've already had several meetings to get things ready for that.
00:22:56.000 | So to kind of give you a heads up.
00:22:59.000 | And then, one last thing is that our service auction, the fundraiser for the adoption fund that's taking place, that's taking place tonight.
00:23:10.000 | Tonight, online.
00:23:12.000 | So you should know what's going on.
00:23:14.000 | All the information is on the church membership page, the Facebook page.
00:23:19.000 | So if you don't have access to that, please try to get on that page if you're a member.
00:23:24.000 | And so all the information is there.
00:23:26.000 | So you can go there and then you can check out what kind of things are already there.
00:23:30.000 | And then I think you can bid for that, I think, tonight.
00:23:35.000 | Tonight is the bidding.
00:23:37.000 | No?
00:23:38.000 | Huh?
00:23:39.000 | Two weeks.
00:23:40.000 | Okay, I got it wrong both services.
00:23:42.000 | Okay.
00:23:43.000 | So what's tonight then?
00:23:44.000 | Oh, they're bidding for two weeks.
00:23:47.000 | All right.
00:23:51.000 | You can read it yourself, but it's happening today.
00:23:56.000 | Okay?
00:23:57.000 | Starting today.
00:23:58.000 | Right?
00:23:59.000 | There's nothing live going on.
00:24:03.000 | Close of auction.
00:24:04.000 | All right.
00:24:05.000 | I need to review this stuff before I get up here.
00:24:08.000 | Okay.
00:24:09.000 | All right.
00:24:10.000 | So let me give you a minute.
00:24:11.000 | I'm going to pray for us, our offering.
00:24:12.000 | Again, if you are new to our church, our physical offering box is in the back.
00:24:17.000 | You can drop off your checks and cash or whatever you have in the back in that.
00:24:21.000 | But the rest of us will give you an opportunity to give electronically.
00:24:24.000 | All right, let's pray.
00:24:29.000 | Gracious Father, we thank you so much for this week.
00:24:35.000 | All the ups and downs, Lord God, of living in this fallen world.
00:24:40.000 | The temptations that we struggle with.
00:24:43.000 | Our desire, Lord God, to be near you and yet being distracted constantly.
00:24:50.000 | Lord, we really need your grace to give us strength, help us to be focused,
00:24:56.000 | to continue to be united, Lord God, in our passion and pursuit of you.
00:25:01.000 | We ask, Lord God, that your spirit would lead and guide us so that what we engage in
00:25:05.000 | is not simply putting in our time, but true worship, Lord God, that you deserve.
00:25:10.000 | I pray that even this offering may be given in true worship, in spirit and in truth.
00:25:16.000 | May it be multiplied for your use in your kingdom.
00:25:18.000 | 30, 60, 100 fold.
00:25:20.000 | In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

00:26:57.000 | Oh my soul praise him for he is the health and salvation.
00:27:06.000 | All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near.
00:27:16.000 | Praise him in glad adoration.
00:27:22.000 | [Music]
00:27:25.000 | Praise to the Lord, all things so wondrously reigning.
00:27:39.000 | Shelters they under his wings, yes, so gently sustaining.
00:27:51.000 | Hast thou, hast thou not seen how thy desires have been
00:28:00.000 | granted in what he ordained?
00:28:16.000 | Praise to the Lord who doth prosper thy work in defending.
00:28:24.000 | Surely his goodness and mercy here daily attending.
00:28:39.000 | Ponder anew what the Almighty can do if with his love he be friendly.
00:29:06.000 | One more time, praise to the Lord.
00:29:09.000 | Praise to the Lord, let all that is in me adore him.
00:29:19.000 | All that hath life have breathed down now with praises before him.
00:29:29.000 | Let the amen sound from his people again, and gladly for all ye adore him.
00:29:52.000 | Praise to the Lord, praise him.
00:30:18.000 | Who else commands all the hosts of heaven?
00:30:23.000 | Who else can make every king bow down?
00:30:29.000 | Who else can whisper in darkness, tremble?
00:30:35.000 | Only a holy God.
00:30:43.000 | What other beauty demands such praises?
00:30:49.000 | What other splendor outshines the sun?
00:30:55.000 | What other majesty rules with justice?
00:31:01.000 | Only a holy God.
00:31:07.000 | Come and behold him, come and behold him, the one and the only.
00:31:19.000 | Cry out, sing holy, forever a holy God.
00:31:28.000 | Come and worship the holy God.
00:31:34.000 | What other glory, what other glory consumes like fire?
00:31:49.000 | What other power can raise the dead?
00:31:55.000 | What other name remains undefeated?
00:32:02.000 | Only a holy God.
00:32:06.000 | Come and behold him, the one and the only.
00:32:18.000 | Cry out, sing holy, forever a holy God.
00:32:28.000 | Come and worship the holy God.
00:32:32.000 | Come and behold him, the one and the only.
00:32:42.000 | Cry out, sing holy, forever a holy God.
00:32:51.000 | Come and worship the holy God.
00:32:57.000 | [Instrumental]
00:33:21.000 | Who else could rescue me from my failing?
00:33:27.000 | Who else would offer his only son?
00:33:32.000 | Who else invites me to call him father?
00:33:38.000 | Only a holy God.
00:33:43.000 | Only my holy God.

00:34:34.000 | Come and worship the holy God.
00:34:40.000 | Amen, you may be seated.
00:34:43.000 | >> All right, if you can turn your Bibles with me to Luke chapter 1.
00:34:52.000 | Turn your Bibles with me to Luke chapter 1.
00:34:56.000 | I'm going to be reading from 17 through 25.
00:35:00.000 | Luke chapter 1, 17 through 25.
00:35:04.000 | Okay, reading the NASB.
00:35:08.000 | [Reading Luke chapter 1, 17 through 25]
00:35:18.000 | [Reading Luke chapter 1, 17 through 25]
00:35:28.000 | [Reading Luke chapter 1, 17 through 25]
00:35:40.000 | [Reading Luke chapter 1, 17 through 25]
00:35:50.000 | [Reading Luke chapter 1, 17 through 25]
00:36:02.000 | [Reading Luke chapter 1, 17 through 25]
00:36:12.000 | Let's pray.
00:36:15.000 | Gracious Father, we pray that your word would speak to us, revive us, renew us,
00:36:22.000 | help us to have a clear vision of Christ.
00:36:26.000 | What he has done, who he is, what he has said.
00:36:31.000 | May it all have a deep impression in our hearts, Lord God, in our lives.
00:36:35.000 | That we may continue to be sanctified according to your will and purpose.
00:36:39.000 | In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
00:36:42.000 | You know, one of the benefits of being at our church, I think,
00:36:49.000 | is that there's an emphasis on the word of God.
00:36:52.000 | And I'm very encouraged to see so many of our church people
00:36:55.000 | who are engaged in the study of God's word,
00:37:00.000 | to the Bible study prepared, ready to engage.
00:37:03.000 | And so I believe if you're at our church, you are, again,
00:37:08.000 | not just at our church, but you are growing in knowledge of the word of God.
00:37:11.000 | And so there's a benefit that you know more and more about what the Bible says.
00:37:16.000 | But the danger that also comes with being at a church
00:37:21.000 | where there's a heavy emphasis on the word of God
00:37:24.000 | is that you gain a lot of knowledge.
00:37:28.000 | And if you're not careful, one of the first things that happens to somebody
00:37:31.000 | where knowledge comes in is that you get puffed up.
00:37:35.000 | That you tend to think that you are more mature than you really are
00:37:39.000 | because you have more knowledge of God's word.
00:37:42.000 | The power of the Bible is not knowledge.
00:37:46.000 | It's not you have more information.
00:37:48.000 | Now, information is important.
00:37:50.000 | Because not knowing what the word of God says,
00:37:53.000 | you can have passions that are not based on the word of God.
00:37:57.000 | You can have passionate feelings and opinions of things
00:38:01.000 | that's not based on what the word of God says.
00:38:03.000 | But the power of the word is not knowledge.
00:38:06.000 | The power of the word is your faith.
00:38:09.000 | That when you hear the word of God, when you study the word of God,
00:38:12.000 | do you believe it?
00:38:14.000 | And that's why Jesus says in John 11, when he was talking to Martha,
00:38:18.000 | he said, "For indeed, we have had good news preached to us,
00:38:24.000 | Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life.
00:38:26.000 | He who believes in me will live even if he dies.
00:38:29.000 | And everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.'
00:38:32.000 | And he said, 'Do you believe this?'"
00:38:35.000 | Do you believe this?
00:38:37.000 | That's the important part.
00:38:39.000 | Not did you hear it?
00:38:41.000 | Not can you recite it?
00:38:43.000 | Not do you know the intricate theology?
00:38:45.000 | Because the hardest people to be around,
00:38:49.000 | the most difficult people to be around,
00:38:51.000 | are people who throw out theology.
00:38:53.000 | Without affection for Christ.
00:38:56.000 | They can quote scripture without knowing who Jesus is.
00:39:02.000 | And all it does is puff up and the word of God just becomes a tool
00:39:06.000 | to examine other people's lives.
00:39:08.000 | And it is a miserable person to be around when knowledge puffs up.
00:39:14.000 | Power of the word is at the end of the study, do you believe that?
00:39:19.000 | Do you believe that?
00:39:22.000 | In Hebrews chapter 4, it says,
00:39:23.000 | "For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also,
00:39:26.000 | but the word that they heard did not profit them,
00:39:29.000 | because it was not united by faith in those who heard."
00:39:32.000 | So the difference between a Christian and a non-Christian
00:39:34.000 | are those people who heard the word of God,
00:39:36.000 | who heard the gospel, and did they believe it?
00:39:40.000 | Did they actually believe it?
00:39:42.000 | And it's also true of sanctification.
00:39:44.000 | Sanctification isn't simply behaving a certain way.
00:39:47.000 | Sanctification is you hear the word of God.
00:39:51.000 | Every Sunday, every Bible study, you hear the word of God,
00:39:53.000 | but the next question after you've heard, after you've studied,
00:39:56.000 | after you've memorized, is do you believe that?
00:39:58.000 | Because until you believe that, there is no change,
00:40:01.000 | other than adding more knowledge.
00:40:04.000 | There is no transformation taking place.
00:40:07.000 | Your life doesn't look any different than what other people value,
00:40:10.000 | except your peers are in the church.
00:40:14.000 | So because your peers are in the church,
00:40:16.000 | the pressure you feel is not from the world,
00:40:20.000 | the pressure you feel is in the church.
00:40:22.000 | So you try to compete with other Christians to be more knowledgeable,
00:40:25.000 | to be more godly, to know the Bible more.
00:40:29.000 | And so you conform to all of this because you're trying to move up
00:40:34.000 | the recognition ladder in the church.
00:40:38.000 | But it's not breaking you.
00:40:41.000 | It's not humbling you.
00:40:43.000 | Your love for Christ isn't growing.
00:40:46.000 | The way we look at eternity hasn't changed.
00:40:49.000 | In fact, it's a miserable place to be
00:40:52.000 | when we have a church filled with people who are growing in knowledge
00:40:55.000 | without growing brokenness and affection for Christ.
00:40:59.000 | Because the key to everything that we are learning
00:41:02.000 | is the question, do you believe?
00:41:04.000 | Not do they believe it.
00:41:06.000 | Not what do they say.
00:41:08.000 | Who do you say Jesus is?
00:41:10.000 | Do you believe it?
00:41:12.000 | The text that we're looking at this morning,
00:41:14.000 | in Zacharias' response and the angel Gabriel's response
00:41:18.000 | to Zacharias' unbelief,
00:41:19.000 | gives us some insight as to not only what God does with them,
00:41:23.000 | but how God deals with us.
00:41:25.000 | It says in Luke 1, 17,
00:41:27.000 | after he gives his prophesy, this old couple
00:41:30.000 | answered prayer for them and through them
00:41:34.000 | answered prayer for the nation of Israel,
00:41:36.000 | that their Messiah would come and deliver them.
00:41:38.000 | Zacharias said to the angel,
00:41:40.000 | "How will I know this for certain, for I am an old man
00:41:43.000 | and my wife is advanced in years?"
00:41:46.000 | Now we can understand why Zacharias had a hard time believing this.
00:41:49.000 | Because he was already advanced in years.
00:41:52.000 | Humanly it's impossible.
00:41:54.000 | He wasn't simply tweaking certain things.
00:41:56.000 | He's saying something supernatural is going to happen.
00:41:58.000 | It's like, how am I going to know this?
00:42:00.000 | And on top of that, God hasn't spoken through a prophet
00:42:02.000 | for over 400 years.
00:42:04.000 | So this was not a regular occurrence in the nation of Israel.
00:42:07.000 | Every priest that went in there to burn incense
00:42:10.000 | didn't come out speaking to the angel.
00:42:12.000 | There were 400 years of dead silence
00:42:15.000 | and then finally when he speaks,
00:42:16.000 | he says something supernatural is going to happen.
00:42:18.000 | So we can understand that other human beings,
00:42:20.000 | why he had a hard time believing this.
00:42:23.000 | Now this is not new.
00:42:25.000 | If you look at redemptive history,
00:42:27.000 | we see men and women whom God has chosen
00:42:31.000 | because of their faith to work mighty things
00:42:34.000 | and yet they themselves struggled with this.
00:42:37.000 | Remember Abraham?
00:42:39.000 | God calls him out.
00:42:41.000 | He walks out to the desert risking his life, family's life,
00:42:44.000 | all because of the simple promise that God made.
00:42:46.000 | That if you follow me, I will make you a great nation.
00:42:49.000 | I will bless you and all the other nations
00:42:51.000 | will be blessed by you.
00:42:53.000 | And yet, if you look at Abraham's life,
00:42:55.000 | as he was wandering and following God,
00:42:58.000 | remember there were periods when he was so scared
00:43:00.000 | for his own life that he would lie about his wife
00:43:02.000 | and say, "Hey, make sure that you say you're my sister."
00:43:05.000 | And so we see a fragile man,
00:43:07.000 | even though there was a man of faith,
00:43:09.000 | he was a fragile man, just like us.
00:43:13.000 | Remember Sarah?
00:43:14.000 | Finally when God says that they're going to give him a son,
00:43:17.000 | just like he promised,
00:43:19.000 | remember how she responded?
00:43:21.000 | She laughed in unbelief.
00:43:23.000 | And as a result, God says,
00:43:25.000 | "Your child is going to be named Laughter,"
00:43:27.000 | just to remind you how you responded.
00:43:29.000 | Remember Gideon?
00:43:31.000 | How God raises up Gideon
00:43:33.000 | and that he was going to dwindle down his army
00:43:35.000 | to a few hundred people
00:43:37.000 | to overcome tens of thousands of Midianites
00:43:42.000 | and Gideon's response is like,
00:43:43.000 | "Well, how am I going to know
00:43:45.000 | that you're really going to do this?"
00:43:47.000 | So he says, "Send out a fleece
00:43:49.000 | and it's going to keep it dry,"
00:43:51.000 | and he's like, "to prove."
00:43:53.000 | Like God telling him wasn't enough.
00:43:55.000 | He's like, "Prove yourself."
00:43:57.000 | He struggled with doubt.
00:43:59.000 | Remember Hezekiah?
00:44:01.000 | When he was a prophet that came,
00:44:03.000 | that he was going to die,
00:44:05.000 | and then he pleaded with the Lord
00:44:07.000 | and then he asked God,
00:44:09.000 | "How am I going to know this is going to happen?
00:44:11.000 | How am I going to stop or to move forward?"
00:44:12.000 | And so we see this pattern repeated
00:44:16.000 | through mighty men,
00:44:18.000 | men who are supposed to represent faith
00:44:22.000 | at certain periods of time, they doubt it.
00:44:25.000 | If we're honest with ourselves,
00:44:28.000 | we're no different.
00:44:30.000 | I think the greatest struggle that we have is faith.
00:44:36.000 | Sometimes our faith feels so small.
00:44:40.000 | Even as we say we believe,
00:44:42.000 | even as we profess,
00:44:44.000 | even as we surrendered our life to Christ,
00:44:46.000 | from time to time,
00:44:48.000 | we feel like our faith is no bigger than a mustard seed.
00:44:51.000 | I mean, just practically speaking,
00:44:54.000 | when we see Matthew 7, 7,
00:44:57.000 | it says, "Ask and it will be given to you.
00:44:59.000 | Seek and you will find.
00:45:01.000 | Knock and it will be opened to you."
00:45:03.000 | I mean, we memorize that passage
00:45:05.000 | and we teach that to Sunday school,
00:45:08.000 | but the power of that passage is not,
00:45:10.000 | is not that do you know this passage,
00:45:13.000 | have you memorized this passage,
00:45:15.000 | have you dissected this passage,
00:45:17.000 | have you exegeted this passage,
00:45:19.000 | have you preached this passage?
00:45:21.000 | The power of that passage is do you believe it?
00:45:23.000 | That if you seek, you will find.
00:45:26.000 | If you knock, you will open.
00:45:28.000 | If you ask, you will answer.
00:45:30.000 | Because if you believe it,
00:45:32.000 | you would pursue, you would ask, you would knock.
00:45:35.000 | But part of the reason we struggle with that
00:45:37.000 | is because we hear it,
00:45:38.000 | but it's not coupled with faith.
00:45:41.000 | You guys know that passage,
00:45:44.000 | "Seek ye first the kingdom of God,
00:45:46.000 | and all these things shall be added unto you."
00:45:48.000 | You know that passage.
00:45:50.000 | If you grew up in Sunday school,
00:45:52.000 | you may have memorized that passage.
00:45:54.000 | But the power of that passage is not,
00:45:56.000 | do you know it, did you memorize it,
00:45:58.000 | did you tell other people about it,
00:46:00.000 | but do you believe it?
00:46:02.000 | That if you seek His kingdom,
00:46:04.000 | if you put His kingdom first,
00:46:06.000 | that God will take care of all the other stuff.
00:46:09.000 | How much of our lives is flipped the other way?
00:46:13.000 | If I take care of all the other stuff,
00:46:15.000 | and I'll leave the stuff that I can't do in God's hands.
00:46:18.000 | And the reason why we live like that
00:46:20.000 | is because we profess this, we teach this, we exegete this.
00:46:23.000 | But when we ask, do you believe it?
00:46:27.000 | We don't have confidence.
00:46:30.000 | We struggle.
00:46:34.000 | He who finds his life will lose it.
00:46:37.000 | He who loses his life for my sake will find it.
00:46:41.000 | We know that's the fundamental thing that Jesus taught.
00:46:44.000 | And when He was going to the cross,
00:46:46.000 | He said, "You must also pick up the cross and follow me."
00:46:48.000 | Deny yourself.
00:46:50.000 | This is the fundamental thing that is taught in discipleship.
00:46:53.000 | But again, the power of these words is not,
00:46:56.000 | do you know it, have you heard it,
00:46:58.000 | can you exposit it, do you know the context of it?
00:47:02.000 | But the question is, do you believe it?
00:47:05.000 | Do you believe that if you live your life
00:47:09.000 | to make something of yourself, you will lose it?
00:47:13.000 | Do you believe that all the pursuits of life,
00:47:16.000 | so that you can have a better life here,
00:47:19.000 | that you're pursuing something
00:47:22.000 | that eventually is going to ruin your life?
00:47:25.000 | Do you believe that forfeiting
00:47:27.000 | all the temptations of the world
00:47:31.000 | will actually lead to greater life?
00:47:33.000 | Do you believe that?
00:47:35.000 | Not do you know that, have you studied that,
00:47:38.000 | memorized that, but do you believe that?
00:47:41.000 | Because if we believed it, our life would change.
00:47:44.000 | Our pursuit would change.
00:47:46.000 | We struggle with that.
00:47:48.000 | Finally, in Romans 8.32 it says,
00:47:50.000 | "He who did not spare his own son, but gave him up for us all,
00:47:53.000 | how will he not along with us give us all things?"
00:47:56.000 | Think how inconsistent our faith is.
00:48:00.000 | From week to week, to sing songs about God himself
00:48:05.000 | took on human form and he gave himself
00:48:08.000 | while we were yet sinners. He died for us.
00:48:10.000 | How will he not? If you believe and we sing, we memorize,
00:48:13.000 | and we preach the gospel to other people,
00:48:15.000 | that this is what God has done for us,
00:48:17.000 | and yet day to day we struggle with,
00:48:19.000 | does God really care?
00:48:21.000 | Is God actually listening?
00:48:24.000 | Is he really going to take care of my needs?
00:48:28.000 | And so we work hard to take care of all this other stuff,
00:48:32.000 | and then only the things that we feel like
00:48:35.000 | we have no power over, we just kind of hand it over to him.
00:48:38.000 | So again, the power of these words is not
00:48:43.000 | do you know it, have you studied it,
00:48:45.000 | did you exegete it, did you memorize it,
00:48:47.000 | have you taught other people about it,
00:48:49.000 | but at the end, do you believe it?
00:48:52.000 | Do you believe it?
00:48:56.000 | In response to Zacharias' doubting,
00:49:00.000 | the angel says in verse 19,
00:49:02.000 | "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God,
00:49:05.000 | and I have been sent to speak to you
00:49:07.000 | and to bring you this good news."
00:49:09.000 | Now, for us, we say, "Oh, I am Gabriel."
00:49:12.000 | What does that mean?
00:49:14.000 | A Jew would have immediately understood
00:49:16.000 | when he says, "I am Gabriel,"
00:49:18.000 | because the Bible actually only names three angels.
00:49:23.000 | Number one, Archangel Michael.
00:49:25.000 | And again, they're not everywhere,
00:49:27.000 | but when you look him up, Archangel Michael is the chief angel.
00:49:29.000 | And whenever you see Archangel Michael
00:49:31.000 | appear in the Bible, he's in some kind of battle.
00:49:34.000 | He's the one fighting with the dragon
00:49:36.000 | in the book of Revelations.
00:49:38.000 | He's the one who is gathering the other angels
00:49:40.000 | and basically going to war, spiritual war.
00:49:42.000 | That's Archangel Michael.
00:49:44.000 | He's the chief of the angels.
00:49:46.000 | The other angel that's mentioned in the Bible is Lucifer.
00:49:50.000 | Lucifer basically was a worshiper.
00:49:52.000 | He was the chief worshiper in God's creation.
00:49:55.000 | But instead of worshipping God in the context of worship,
00:49:59.000 | he was trying to get worship himself.
00:50:02.000 | Just like, you know, he was a great worshipper.
00:50:04.000 | Imagine if you met the best worship leader
00:50:08.000 | that you've ever met in your life,
00:50:10.000 | and he is trying to get attention for himself
00:50:14.000 | as he is worshipping.
00:50:16.000 | So he may be the most skilled,
00:50:19.000 | but he's the least person that you want up there.
00:50:22.000 | And that's exactly what Lucifer was.
00:50:24.000 | Lucifer's rebellion is that he wants worship for himself.
00:50:28.000 | Isaiah 14, 12-14, it says,
00:50:30.000 | "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of morning,
00:50:33.000 | son of dawn! You have been cut down to the earth,
00:50:35.000 | you who have weakened the nations,
00:50:37.000 | but you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven.
00:50:40.000 | I will raise my throne above the stars of God,
00:50:42.000 | and I will sit on the mount of assembly
00:50:44.000 | in the recess of the north.
00:50:46.000 | I will ascend above the heights of the clouds.
00:50:48.000 | I will make myself like the Most High.'"
00:50:51.000 | And that's Lucifer.
00:50:53.000 | So you have the Archangel Michael
00:50:55.000 | who is in conflict with Lucifer.
00:50:57.000 | Typically we think God is in conflict with Satan.
00:51:00.000 | Right?
00:51:02.000 | The good and the bad.
00:51:04.000 | That God is good and Satan is bad.
00:51:06.000 | Satan is under God's sovereign control.
00:51:08.000 | Every time Satan, Lucifer, needs to do something,
00:51:10.000 | he has to get permission from God.
00:51:12.000 | The conflict that the Bible describes
00:51:14.000 | is a conflict between Archangel Michael.
00:51:17.000 | In fact, in Jude chapter 9 it says,
00:51:18.000 | "But Michael the archangel,
00:51:20.000 | when he disputed with the devil
00:51:22.000 | and argued about the body of Moses,
00:51:24.000 | did not dare pronounce against him
00:51:26.000 | a railing judgment, but said,
00:51:28.000 | 'The Lord rebuke you.'"
00:51:30.000 | So the two other angels that are mentioned in the Bible
00:51:32.000 | is Archangel Michael,
00:51:34.000 | who is in conflict with Lucifer.
00:51:36.000 | So the only other angel
00:51:38.000 | that is named in the Bible is Gabriel.
00:51:41.000 | Gabriel appears in Daniel chapter 8,
00:51:46.000 | Daniel chapter 9,
00:51:47.000 | and he's the one who was sent as a messenger
00:51:49.000 | to interpret the dreams
00:51:51.000 | that was coming through the people at that time.
00:51:54.000 | And so Gabriel is widely understood
00:51:59.000 | in the Jewish community as the messenger of God.
00:52:02.000 | So when Zacharias hears when he says,
00:52:07.000 | "I am Gabriel,"
00:52:09.000 | I mean he would have known immediately.
00:52:12.000 | My guess is he probably was floored.
00:52:15.000 | He was to the ground, he was like, "Oh my gosh."
00:52:17.000 | Gabriel is here.
00:52:20.000 | That's what he means because the promise,
00:52:23.000 | the promise of the angel
00:52:26.000 | is only good as the one who is promising.
00:52:28.000 | And that's why we have credit scores, right?
00:52:31.000 | Like if your credit is like 500 or 400,
00:52:35.000 | you signing a name on something
00:52:37.000 | doesn't mean a whole lot, right?
00:52:39.000 | Because you just don't have good credit.
00:52:41.000 | So when he says, "I am Gabriel,"
00:52:44.000 | in other words he's saying,
00:52:45.000 | "I am the one who stands in the presence of God."
00:52:48.000 | In other words what he's saying,
00:52:50.000 | what I am saying to you is from God himself.
00:52:53.000 | That's how he answers his doubt.
00:52:56.000 | I am Gabriel.
00:52:58.000 | I am the one sent from God.
00:53:00.000 | That's exactly what happens, remember,
00:53:02.000 | when Moses asked the Lord in Exodus chapter 3,
00:53:05.000 | "When you send me to Pharaoh and to the Israelites,
00:53:08.000 | who are you to demand that my people be set free?
00:53:13.000 | What do I say to them?
00:53:14.000 | Tell them," what? "I am has sent you."
00:53:17.000 | You're not going with your authority.
00:53:20.000 | You're not speaking on your behalf.
00:53:22.000 | I didn't choose you because you are the most articulate.
00:53:24.000 | I didn't choose you because you are the greatest leader.
00:53:27.000 | Tell them, "I am has sent you."
00:53:30.000 | The power comes from the sender, not the messenger.
00:53:34.000 | So when Gabriel says, "I am Gabriel,"
00:53:37.000 | the one who stands in the presence of God
00:53:39.000 | is speaking to you,
00:53:42.000 | he says, "That should confirm for you."
00:53:46.000 | You know, typically, we ask ourselves in the end,
00:53:51.000 | I said, "The power of everything that we're studying
00:53:54.000 | is at the end, do you believe this?"
00:53:56.000 | Right?
00:53:58.000 | Not, "Do you know this?"
00:54:00.000 | Nobody cares what you know.
00:54:02.000 | Let me say that.
00:54:04.000 | Okay, does it sound harsh?
00:54:06.000 | Nobody cares what you know.
00:54:08.000 | Let me say it one more time, right?
00:54:11.000 | Nobody cares what you know.
00:54:14.000 | If it fills you with pride.
00:54:18.000 | If what you know doesn't lead you
00:54:23.000 | to point to a greater Christ,
00:54:26.000 | nobody not only cares what you know,
00:54:29.000 | nobody wants to hear what you know.
00:54:31.000 | The question is, "Do you believe this?"
00:54:36.000 | Do you believe this is the word of God?
00:54:38.000 | That God is speaking to you?
00:54:40.000 | What do you say?
00:54:41.000 | Who do you say Jesus is?
00:54:43.000 | Do you believe this?
00:54:45.000 | You know, the typical way that somebody
00:54:48.000 | would dismiss the word of God,
00:54:50.000 | if you've ever tried to evangelize,
00:54:52.000 | and say, "Oh, the word of God,"
00:54:54.000 | and say, "I don't believe the word of God,"
00:54:56.000 | because it was written by man, right?
00:54:58.000 | Have you heard that before?
00:55:00.000 | That's a common argument against
00:55:02.000 | this being the word of God.
00:55:04.000 | "Oh, the man put it together,
00:55:06.000 | the church put it together."
00:55:09.000 | And so if the church put it together,
00:55:10.000 | if man wrote it, it can't be divine.
00:55:13.000 | That's usually the argument that you will hear.
00:55:15.000 | I like what R.C. Sproul says about this subject,
00:55:18.000 | and he says, "The reason we doubt the word of God
00:55:20.000 | is not because his word is unbelievable
00:55:22.000 | or not credible, but because we project
00:55:24.000 | unto God the trustworthiness
00:55:26.000 | that describes our own condition.
00:55:28.000 | Let every man be a liar, but God's word is true."
00:55:31.000 | The reason why they put forth
00:55:34.000 | that if it came through human hands,
00:55:36.000 | we don't trust it because we don't trust man.
00:55:38.000 | We don't trust each other.
00:55:39.000 | Man doesn't have good credit.
00:55:41.000 | That's basically what he's saying.
00:55:44.000 | 2 Peter 1, 16-21,
00:55:47.000 | Peter, James, and John
00:55:49.000 | sees the transfiguration,
00:55:51.000 | hears the audible voice of God,
00:55:53.000 | and God appears and says,
00:55:55.000 | "This is my son in whom I am well pleased."
00:55:57.000 | But God tells him,
00:55:59.000 | Jesus tells him, "Don't say anything yet
00:56:01.000 | because it's not time."
00:56:03.000 | But this is how Peter describes that incident.
00:56:05.000 | "For we did not follow cleverly devised
00:56:07.000 | tales when we made known to you
00:56:08.000 | the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:56:10.000 | but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
00:56:12.000 | For when he received honor and glory
00:56:14.000 | from God the Father,
00:56:16.000 | such an utterance as this was made to him
00:56:18.000 | by the majestic glory,
00:56:20.000 | 'This is my beloved son with whom
00:56:22.000 | I am well pleased.'
00:56:24.000 | And we ourselves heard this utterance
00:56:26.000 | made from heaven when we were with him
00:56:28.000 | on the holy mountain."
00:56:30.000 | He's talking about the transfiguration.
00:56:32.000 | Can you imagine that impact
00:56:34.000 | that it must have had on him?
00:56:36.000 | He's talking about the transfiguration
00:56:37.000 | and he says, "Don't tell anything."
00:56:39.000 | And then he finally gets to tell people,
00:56:41.000 | "Man, you know what I saw.
00:56:43.000 | I actually heard the audible voice of God."
00:56:45.000 | We've been walking with Jesus
00:56:47.000 | but his glory was veiled.
00:56:49.000 | But for the first time,
00:56:51.000 | that veil was lifted so we could see him
00:56:53.000 | and God spoke to us physically.
00:56:55.000 | But look what he says, 19.
00:56:57.000 | "So we have the prophetic word
00:56:59.000 | made more sure."
00:57:01.000 | More sure than what?
00:57:03.000 | What he saw.
00:57:05.000 | More sure than what he heard audibly.
00:57:06.000 | The prophetic word.
00:57:08.000 | "To which you do well to pay attention
00:57:10.000 | as to a lamp shining in a dark place
00:57:12.000 | until the day dawns
00:57:14.000 | and the morning star rises in your heart."
00:57:16.000 | Rising in your heart through what?
00:57:18.000 | Through God's word.
00:57:20.000 | "But know this first of all
00:57:22.000 | that no prophecy of scripture
00:57:24.000 | is a matter of one's own interpretation
00:57:26.000 | for no prophecy was ever made
00:57:28.000 | by an act of human will
00:57:30.000 | but men moved by the Holy Spirit
00:57:32.000 | spoke from God."
00:57:34.000 | So he's saying God has not ordained miracles
00:57:35.000 | to bring you to Christ.
00:57:37.000 | God has not ordained
00:57:39.000 | supernatural audible hearings
00:57:41.000 | so that you can commune with God.
00:57:43.000 | God has not ordained miracles
00:57:45.000 | so that you can hear him.
00:57:47.000 | He says God has ordained
00:57:49.000 | his very breath in the word of God
00:57:51.000 | to make it sure.
00:57:53.000 | So the question that we need to ask is
00:57:55.000 | do you believe that this is the word of God?
00:57:57.000 | Do you believe that this is the word of God?
00:57:59.000 | Do you believe that this is the word of God?
00:58:01.000 | Do you believe that this is the word of God?
00:58:03.000 | Do you believe it?
00:58:04.000 | Not are you studying it?
00:58:06.000 | Not are you meditating on it?
00:58:08.000 | Not are you telling other people?
00:58:10.000 | Not are you handling it accurately?
00:58:12.000 | But even before any of that
00:58:14.000 | do you believe this?
00:58:16.000 | Do you believe that Jesus is the only way?
00:58:18.000 | Truly the only way?
00:58:20.000 | That there is judgment coming?
00:58:22.000 | That the book of Revelation
00:58:24.000 | is not just some fairy tale?
00:58:28.000 | That hell is not just something
00:58:32.000 | that was written just to
00:58:33.000 | just to tickle our imagination?
00:58:38.000 | But it's real.
00:58:40.000 | That heaven is real.
00:58:42.000 | That Jesus Christ died for us, for me, is real.
00:58:46.000 | My sins have been washed away.
00:58:48.000 | It's real.
00:58:50.000 | That if you seek his kingdom first
00:58:52.000 | that all these things shall be added unto you
00:58:54.000 | is real.
00:58:56.000 | That he who did not spare his own son
00:58:58.000 | but gave him up for us all?
00:59:01.000 | That he who did not along with him
00:59:02.000 | give us everything else?
00:59:04.000 | Is real.
00:59:06.000 | If you truly believe.
00:59:08.000 | If you doubt,
00:59:10.000 | that's where your struggle needs to be.
00:59:13.000 | Part of the reason why there is
00:59:16.000 | so little attention given
00:59:18.000 | to the diligent study of the word of God,
00:59:20.000 | I believe, is because we wrestle with faith.
00:59:23.000 | We don't really believe.
00:59:27.000 | Or we struggle with belief.
00:59:30.000 | I mean,
00:59:31.000 | if I told you
00:59:33.000 | that you got a letter from your favorite
00:59:35.000 | basketball star and it was seven page
00:59:37.000 | and it was written to you,
00:59:39.000 | my guess is
00:59:41.000 | you would take time to read it.
00:59:43.000 | If you don't like sports,
00:59:45.000 | it's completely irrelevant.
00:59:47.000 | Movie star? I don't know.
00:59:49.000 | Your favorite person? I don't know.
00:59:51.000 | Somebody you love?
00:59:53.000 | That girl that you've been
00:59:56.000 | praying for so dearly
00:59:59.000 | has written in response.
01:00:00.000 | And you get that letter.
01:00:03.000 | And then you realize it's like
01:00:06.000 | six pages. Six pages?
01:00:08.000 | I've got time to read that. Six pages?
01:00:10.000 | If you responded like that,
01:00:12.000 | I would say, "Ah, you're not interested."
01:00:14.000 | Your natural response would be,
01:00:17.000 | "Only six pages?"
01:00:19.000 | You combed through that letter.
01:00:22.000 | What does she mean by "hello"?
01:00:24.000 | (laughter)
01:00:26.000 | Look at the big letters.
01:00:28.000 | Why is there a comma there?
01:00:30.000 | XOXO.
01:00:33.000 | And you would examine
01:00:35.000 | every part of that letter
01:00:37.000 | because every part of that letter
01:00:39.000 | is personal to you.
01:00:41.000 | If you believe
01:00:43.000 | that this is God's Word,
01:00:45.000 | that God wrote it to you,
01:00:47.000 | to talk to you,
01:00:49.000 | to bring you to Him,
01:00:51.000 | to tell you how much He loves you,
01:00:53.000 | the warnings that He gives you,
01:00:55.000 | to tell us how to live,
01:00:57.000 | to tell us what it's going to be like
01:00:58.000 | after we die,
01:01:00.000 | to tell us
01:01:02.000 | where the power lies,
01:01:04.000 | to tell us about our children.
01:01:07.000 | I mean, it's been given to us.
01:01:09.000 | But our struggle is,
01:01:12.000 | do we believe?
01:01:14.000 | Do we actually believe that?
01:01:16.000 | You know, sometimes,
01:01:18.000 | because we were raised in a church,
01:01:20.000 | we just assume we believe.
01:01:22.000 | Of course I believe it.
01:01:24.000 | And you just kind of give a knee-jerk reaction.
01:01:26.000 | But look at the way you respond to that.
01:01:28.000 | Because sometimes we can easily fool ourselves.
01:01:31.000 | I remember
01:01:34.000 | when I first became a Christian,
01:01:37.000 | the first person that I was so excited to share
01:01:40.000 | that I became a Christian
01:01:42.000 | was this co-worker.
01:01:44.000 | My dad used to work at this medical supply company.
01:01:47.000 | And as he was pastor,
01:01:49.000 | that was his side job.
01:01:51.000 | So during the summer,
01:01:53.000 | I went with him to work for about three months.
01:01:55.000 | And one of his co-workers,
01:01:56.000 | in my mind, he was like
01:01:58.000 | the most sincere Christian I've ever met.
01:02:00.000 | He always has his Bible.
01:02:02.000 | Every opportunity he had,
01:02:04.000 | he was reading it in between.
01:02:06.000 | And then every opportunity he got,
01:02:08.000 | he was sharing it with people.
01:02:10.000 | So when I became a Christian,
01:02:12.000 | he's the first guy I wanted to tell.
01:02:14.000 | So he came to my mom's dry cleaner store,
01:02:16.000 | and I took a break
01:02:18.000 | because I wanted to tell him what happened.
01:02:20.000 | Because every break,
01:02:22.000 | he was trying to share with me about God.
01:02:24.000 | And I was like, "Oh, I'm a Christian."
01:02:25.000 | So I sat down,
01:02:27.000 | and we had probably about an hour worth of conversation.
01:02:29.000 | And I can't even remember
01:02:31.000 | exactly what he said
01:02:33.000 | because I didn't know a whole lot about the Bible
01:02:35.000 | other than the things that I learned in Sunday school.
01:02:37.000 | But he said something that triggered.
01:02:39.000 | It's like something's weird.
01:02:41.000 | And I asked him,
01:02:43.000 | "Are you a Jehovah Witness?"
01:02:45.000 | And I could tell that just kind of like boom.
01:02:47.000 | Like he didn't want to tell me that,
01:02:49.000 | but he admitted because I asked him,
01:02:51.000 | "Are you a Jehovah Witness?"
01:02:53.000 | And obviously, boom, the walls went up.
01:02:54.000 | Right?
01:02:56.000 | I have to be careful.
01:02:58.000 | Again, to this day,
01:03:00.000 | I have no idea what triggered that
01:03:02.000 | because I didn't know anything about Jehovah Witnesses.
01:03:04.000 | It must have been something that maybe my dad said
01:03:06.000 | that I kind of picked up subconsciously.
01:03:08.000 | And then boom, it went up.
01:03:10.000 | And then that encounter with him messed me up
01:03:12.000 | because this is the most strongest Christian
01:03:14.000 | I've ever met,
01:03:16.000 | at least in my mind.
01:03:18.000 | I mean, he takes his faith seriously
01:03:20.000 | than any other person that I've met.
01:03:22.000 | How do I know that what I believe is true?
01:03:25.000 | How can I be so confident?
01:03:27.000 | Because he seemed to believe just as strong.
01:03:30.000 | So I went on this journey.
01:03:33.000 | Even as I was professing as a Christian,
01:03:36.000 | in the back of my mind,
01:03:38.000 | I needed to know for sure.
01:03:40.000 | What if I say I'm a Protestant
01:03:42.000 | because I was born in a Protestant home?
01:03:44.000 | My dad's a pastor,
01:03:46.000 | so that was the only access that I had.
01:03:48.000 | So I began a journey to look for myself.
01:03:51.000 | So every opportunity I got,
01:03:52.000 | I started to study different religions.
01:03:54.000 | And every extra elective class I had,
01:03:58.000 | I would study Buddhism
01:04:00.000 | and different Muslims and different things
01:04:03.000 | and would come back.
01:04:05.000 | And the conclusion was,
01:04:07.000 | Christianity made the most sense.
01:04:09.000 | But the next question was,
01:04:11.000 | then which Christianity,
01:04:13.000 | which version of Christianity made more sense?
01:04:15.000 | Mormonism?
01:04:17.000 | They say they have their Bible
01:04:20.000 | Well, obviously, at the conclusion of that,
01:04:22.000 | and it wasn't a specific day that that happened,
01:04:24.000 | but after years of wrestling with this,
01:04:26.000 | my conclusion is not even close.
01:04:28.000 | I mean, the Word of God, to me,
01:04:32.000 | without a doubt,
01:04:34.000 | proved itself that this is God's Word.
01:04:36.000 | And I could tell you
01:04:38.000 | all the extracurricular stuff
01:04:40.000 | where archaeological finds fulfilled prophecies,
01:04:42.000 | the copies of manuscripts,
01:04:44.000 | and how it was handled,
01:04:46.000 | scrutinized for thousands of years,
01:04:49.000 | and how it destroyed the credibility
01:04:50.000 | of the Word of God,
01:04:52.000 | and the other Bibles were just,
01:04:54.000 | you trust a guy who is discredited.
01:04:56.000 | I mean, I can tell you about the stuff that I found.
01:04:58.000 | And it was almost impossible
01:05:00.000 | to believe their claim.
01:05:02.000 | And even if you don't believe it,
01:05:04.000 | it's very difficult to dismiss.
01:05:06.000 | But since then,
01:05:08.000 | I can tell you with full conviction,
01:05:11.000 | the greatest revelation of God's Word
01:05:14.000 | is the Word itself.
01:05:17.000 | All this extra stuff,
01:05:18.000 | those are good to have, right,
01:05:20.000 | as argument.
01:05:22.000 | But when you dive into the Word of God,
01:05:24.000 | you see the roots underneath the Word of God.
01:05:28.000 | On the surface,
01:05:30.000 | you read the words,
01:05:32.000 | and you see the connections,
01:05:34.000 | and you see how the themes are connected.
01:05:36.000 | But the more you dive into the Word of God,
01:05:38.000 | you'll see the roots underneath that connects
01:05:40.000 | thousands of years of authors and themes,
01:05:42.000 | like just connected,
01:05:44.000 | one theme after another.
01:05:46.000 | And I couldn't understand,
01:05:47.000 | it's like everything points to Christ.
01:05:49.000 | You know, as a young Christian,
01:05:51.000 | it's like, okay, I guess it is.
01:05:53.000 | But it is amazing.
01:05:55.000 | There is no way
01:05:57.000 | that a human being,
01:05:59.000 | no matter how wise, how smart,
01:06:01.000 | could have put this together
01:06:03.000 | in 1,500 years,
01:06:05.000 | 45 different men
01:06:07.000 | to have brought this together.
01:06:09.000 | And the more you see the roots underneath,
01:06:11.000 | you sense the breath of God in His Word.
01:06:15.000 | I don't know how many times
01:06:16.000 | I'm doing quiet time,
01:06:18.000 | and just instinctively,
01:06:20.000 | I hear myself say, "Wow.
01:06:23.000 | Wow."
01:06:26.000 | Because I get to see a glimpse of God
01:06:30.000 | through the Word.
01:06:32.000 | And many times it's through
01:06:34.000 | the same thing I'm looking at.
01:06:36.000 | I've preached through
01:06:38.000 | almost every part of the Bible.
01:06:40.000 | Did quiet time numerous times
01:06:42.000 | on every part of the Bible.
01:06:44.000 | And even now as I'm going through it,
01:06:45.000 | it's like, "Wow."
01:06:47.000 | Because I still,
01:06:49.000 | it's living and active.
01:06:51.000 | The words that it says,
01:06:54.000 | now as a 54-year-old,
01:06:56.000 | in the stage of life,
01:06:58.000 | my perspective is completely different.
01:07:00.000 | And it looks very different
01:07:02.000 | than when I was 16,
01:07:04.000 | or 20, or 30, or 40.
01:07:06.000 | And every time it's just living and active.
01:07:08.000 | It's never dead.
