back to indexOld Testament Survey - Session 3 (2019-01-26)
00:00:19.280 |
Those first five, you've probably got down, okay? 00:00:31.560 |
Rest, relapse, ruin, repentance, restoration, rest. 00:00:59.840 |
Solomon, remember there's a king with a half a heart 00:01:07.280 |
Two kings, second kings, the divided kingdom, okay? 00:01:20.280 |
So the north is not included now in the Chronicles. 00:01:28.080 |
Rebuilding the temple and basically the holy city again. 00:01:34.400 |
'Cause for 70 years it was uninhabited by Jews. 00:01:48.080 |
So they go back to Jerusalem, they rebuild the temple. 00:01:56.080 |
Because every time they tried to build a temple, 00:01:57.980 |
everybody around them kept attacking them to stop the work. 00:02:07.400 |
And then all of a sudden someone shows up and says, 00:02:09.800 |
"Hey, my ancestors lived here 70 years ago, get out." 00:02:13.760 |
And they actually pitch a tent and build a little, 00:02:20.640 |
Obviously we're gonna not be happy about this, okay? 00:02:23.440 |
So they actually build a wall around the whole city. 00:02:49.440 |
Hittites, Arameans, Ammonites, Moabites, Edomites, 00:02:54.440 |
Philistines, and later, and then the Hittites, 00:03:06.880 |
So just so that you're not confused, I explain that. 00:03:10.080 |
What are the major landmarks in Israel's history? 00:03:12.140 |
2000 to zero, you could describe it now in depth, 00:03:27.400 |
The only thing you really need to remember is Moses, 00:03:30.480 |
and then you have the history of tribes, judges, kings. 00:03:35.400 |
Who's the very first king of the nation of Israel 00:03:53.800 |
the Benjaminites were a very shame-filled tribe, 00:04:01.800 |
is followed by David, who was a Jewish-American. 00:04:18.840 |
Everyone just worshiped wherever the priests gathered, right? 00:04:25.640 |
His son Solomon, because David was so good at warfare, 00:04:43.440 |
40, so king, king, then split happens at 931, 930, right? 00:04:50.800 |
What are some distinctions of the Northern Kingdom? 00:04:58.020 |
but on the map, it looks like there's four tribes 00:05:03.820 |
How they get there, you're gonna have to fill in 00:06:46.020 |
There's a lot of 'em, so just keep that in mind 00:07:00.660 |
And then can you guys remember the half Bible cheer? 00:07:09.060 |
And today's focus is gonna be between the split 00:07:16.460 |
So basically 9.30 to about 7.22 is where we're gonna focus. 00:07:21.460 |
And then next week we're gonna talk about Babylon, 00:07:30.060 |
The fifth week we're gonna look at all the returns, 00:07:32.460 |
and then the sixth week we're gonna do a big review, 00:07:44.260 |
Make you wanna learn, and you can do the same 00:07:47.180 |
And I'm giving you the skeleton, what's your job? 00:07:57.660 |
You guys know what everything stands for here? 00:08:07.220 |
tribes, judges, kings, and then we have the five R's, 00:08:22.340 |
basically Mount JK, Moses, tribes, judges, kings, 00:08:28.420 |
to have 12 tribal territories, 10 sons of Jacob, 00:08:43.060 |
But they had 48 cities, six cities of refuge, 00:09:06.500 |
So they're actually supposed to be the richest, okay? 00:09:10.940 |
But that corrupted them, as you will later come to see. 00:09:22.580 |
Are these bodies of water important in the New Testament? 00:09:38.980 |
And they're fishing on the Mediterranean, okay? 00:09:46.660 |
So you're gonna slowly, if you remember Gales, 00:09:50.940 |
Jordan's dead, you just, even in Jesus's time, 00:09:54.060 |
you can kind of piece together what goes where, okay? 00:10:07.900 |
Philistine capitals are very, they're worth memorizing, 00:10:13.900 |
like because in the Book of Amos, they get mentioned a lot. 00:10:16.620 |
And later you'll see a bunch of people called the Ashdodites, 00:10:26.060 |
But the Philistine cities are worth taking note of, okay? 00:10:31.060 |
And then later the Phoenicians, take over there. 00:10:49.080 |
Practically speaking, they can't go to Jerusalem 00:10:51.560 |
because if they go to Jerusalem, what happens? 00:11:02.680 |
If there's a one there, do you think there's gonna be a two? 00:11:08.720 |
one of the most heralded kings of the Old Testament 00:11:17.920 |
you have to remember there are two Jeroboams. 00:11:21.760 |
The historical reference goes from First Kings 12 00:11:30.420 |
We're gonna look at the Israel kings briefly today. 00:11:51.800 |
Solomon's mom was Bathsheba, interestingly enough. 00:12:05.880 |
And what's the difference between the references 00:12:09.900 |
There is zero chronicles in reference to the North. 00:12:13.360 |
Chronicles are basically all about Judah, okay? 00:13:44.180 |
So you guys memorize the key number 12, right? 00:13:57.760 |
How do you remember all the stuff that happens 00:13:59.520 |
between the civil war and the northern kingdom falling? 00:14:52.920 |
The landmarks of the middle, split, two, 722, 00:15:05.360 |
And the Old Testament books that you need to know are jammin'. 00:15:37.820 |
Elijah and Elisha's ministry are both very huge, 00:16:20.200 |
And Jonah and Nahum are all basically about Assyria. 00:16:48.820 |
Oh, there's a part that's cut off on the bottom. 00:17:05.700 |
Split, two, 722, split, two, 722, split, two, 722, 00:17:15.600 |
War, Elijah, Elisha, Assyria, and what are the books? 00:17:23.700 |
Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Micah, Isaiah, and Nahum. 00:17:32.720 |
of the invitation and destruction of Assyria? 00:18:01.640 |
and remember, this is all going on in the north. 00:18:10.480 |
So, 1 and 2 Kings, also there's a easy division 00:18:47.840 |
It's so interesting because the most famous king 00:19:07.160 |
but Elisha girds up his loins, and he just runs. 00:19:11.160 |
And then one chapter later, he's scared of Ahab's wife, 00:19:13.600 |
and he's hiding in a cave, scared of his life. 00:19:27.200 |
So, the Old Testament, if you know what you're looking at, 00:19:31.520 |
You can make some funny cartoons and some movies out of it. 00:19:37.680 |
send two bears, and just kill the whole village of kids. 00:19:44.360 |
Is it Judah's kids that were killed by bears, 00:19:53.520 |
And then the fall of Samaria is described in seven chapters, 00:20:07.000 |
you have a correlation with the books of the prophets. 00:20:25.720 |
It's just kind of in reference, just kind of be mindful. 00:20:35.840 |
And what year was Assyria now conquering Samaria? 00:20:50.560 |
and then the time between the split and the fall? 00:20:53.720 |
Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Micah, Isaiah, and then Nahum. 00:21:19.080 |
And you guys know what all of this is, right? 00:22:17.520 |
but we're only gonna memorize just a few kings of Israel, 00:22:22.400 |
okay, because they are worth remembering to some degree. 00:22:26.680 |
Now, you guys see Old Testament key number 14. 00:22:31.680 |
Just remember, Jeroboam, okay, B-O-A-M, Jeroboam. 00:22:53.560 |
Some of you guys who are a little bit more like, 00:23:03.080 |
So just squint and turn a J and an H into an M, 00:23:08.280 |
or break up the H of the M into a J and an H, okay? 00:23:20.640 |
So we're gonna call it Jeroboam with a distorted M. 00:23:33.000 |
I made a little chart with all the kings for you 00:23:52.300 |
Yeah, because that's king number six of Judah. 00:23:56.880 |
So if you're reading the first kings, you're like, 00:24:02.760 |
and you're trying to do like cross-referencing other kings, 00:24:09.520 |
These are two completely different Ahaziahs, okay? 00:24:13.520 |
The other Ahaziah actually starts his reign in 841, 00:24:20.800 |
but the guy right before him is another Ahaziah. 00:24:26.820 |
with what you need to look at, it gets confusing. 00:24:32.360 |
he's a southern king that we looked at last week, right? 00:24:35.720 |
Okay, but he actually married into Ahab's family 00:24:58.100 |
King number 17, Jehoahaz, reigned from 609 to 609. 00:25:07.820 |
but this Jehoahaz was a couple hundred years before. 00:25:19.620 |
and one of them is a king of the south, okay? 00:25:25.300 |
Zachariah, why do you know the name Zachariah? 00:25:28.880 |
It's a prophet, but no evil, wicked king of the north 00:25:39.880 |
Did you know there's like 14 Obadiahs in the Bible? 00:25:43.780 |
So it's confusing if you don't know what to look for. 00:25:54.360 |
in the southern kingdom, but they're not the same guys, okay? 00:26:11.180 |
The first guy you should remember is Jeroboam I, 00:26:27.680 |
But he was the first king who sinned against God 00:26:36.640 |
so you need to know him because he's the first king. 00:26:39.280 |
Second king you need to know is Baasha, okay? 00:26:57.480 |
and Nadab is also familiar because what happened, 00:27:12.000 |
He reigned two years and then he was assassinated by Baasha. 00:27:18.640 |
And then he wipes out all of Jeroboam's family. 00:27:23.280 |
So every single person that is alive in Jeroboam's family, 00:27:49.320 |
Omri is important because he kills all of Baasha's family, 00:28:00.520 |
And then a guy named Zimri becomes king for seven days 00:28:07.760 |
and the Baasha kills him, or no, Baasha attacks him 00:28:12.680 |
and then when Zimri sees that all of the stuff 00:28:15.680 |
around him is colliding, like it's falling apart, 00:28:17.640 |
he sets the king's house on fire and he kills himself. 00:28:20.640 |
So one of the five suicides mentioned in the scriptures. 00:28:28.680 |
Omri purchases a hill from a guy named Shomer 00:28:41.360 |
and he sets that up as a capital of the north. 00:28:43.920 |
So who sets up Samaria as a capital of the north? 00:29:01.080 |
And that's why Elijah and Elisha are always at his, 00:29:19.520 |
that he introduced Baal worship and he's bad, okay? 00:29:22.440 |
So Jeroboam, the next one is that distorted M. 00:29:29.440 |
That first half of the distorted M is the J, right? 00:29:44.020 |
And because Jeroboam made this country so rich 00:29:57.600 |
he sets worship times and he does all of this stuff 00:30:17.840 |
but let justice and mercy flow on like a river. 00:30:20.420 |
So Amos is written to the north at their richest time 00:30:27.360 |
So that would probably speak volumes into our society, right? 00:30:31.760 |
Oh, God is blessing us or even Korean society. 00:30:34.760 |
God is blessing us, but is God happy with you? 00:30:44.140 |
But what king was responsible for financial reform? 00:30:54.180 |
And the last one you need to know, his name is Hosea. 00:31:01.780 |
Because the northern kingdom got hushed after him. 00:31:06.100 |
All right, and there goes the northern kingdom, it's done. 00:31:09.040 |
So you have 18 kings of the northern kingdom. 00:31:15.220 |
I'm gonna give you a little bit to write down 00:31:41.160 |
what are the major landmarks that you need to remember? 00:31:49.800 |
What books of the Old Testament fall into that period? 00:32:07.200 |
focus mostly on the repentance and destruction of Assyria? 00:32:16.000 |
So there are 18 kings of the northern kingdom. 00:32:44.620 |
See, these great powerful kings who established stuff, 00:32:56.260 |
but he, actually Manasseh and Ammon after him, 00:33:13.520 |
And the Samaria is named after a guy named Shamar, right? 00:33:19.520 |
He bought two talents of silver, he bought it. 00:33:24.220 |
after the owner of that hill, but Omri did, okay? 00:33:28.660 |
Boaam, Bahasha, Omri, Ahab, and then the last one, 00:33:44.560 |
He was the one who basically got destroyed by Assyria. 00:33:49.360 |
Now, we're gonna look at the book of Esther, okay? 00:34:10.800 |
There's a Persian cat there, Persian curtains, 00:34:25.300 |
this book actually should be called Hadassah, 00:34:33.420 |
What culture do you think the name Esther is derived from? 00:34:41.140 |
It's all of that, like Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, 00:34:44.740 |
Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, those are all Jewish names. 00:35:02.940 |
because there is no mention of God at all in the whole book. 00:35:09.780 |
The only book of the entire Bible where God is ignored 00:35:25.620 |
to the Jews during the time of the Holocaust. 00:36:02.060 |
It's kind of like saying your great-grandma says, 00:36:21.960 |
Because for 70 years, Persia was all they knew. 00:36:39.340 |
Only 50,000 people went back, 49,687 of them. 00:36:49.680 |
Among whom was Mordecai, Esther's uncle, or Hadassah's uncle. 00:36:57.500 |
Esther's stirring, it's all about life in Persia, 00:37:03.200 |
and Esther is famous because a lot of Bible stories, 00:37:10.280 |
You guys know this, 5-12, 5-5-12, 5-12, 5-5-12. 00:37:30.240 |
We went over all of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, 00:37:32.520 |
Deuteronomy, and we just covered last week and this week, 00:37:36.040 |
Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, 00:37:44.120 |
So Pentateuch, History, Poetry, Major Prophets, 00:37:50.480 |
So we have Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, 00:38:00.520 |
and if you pass this test with flying colors, 00:38:03.380 |
you get a boba, if you don't, you get punched in the face. 00:38:15.840 |
love story in the Book of Judges, or time of Judges, 00:38:27.440 |
divided kingdom, it starts with Elisha, right? 00:38:32.880 |
1 Chronicles, he's holding one newspaper with the star, 00:38:40.880 |
Ezra is about, and how much time do you think 00:38:45.200 |
has elapsed between 2 Chronicles, chapter 36, 00:38:49.720 |
70 years, 'cause they're all in captivity, okay? 00:38:56.960 |
but everyone keeps messing up the projects, right? 00:39:05.800 |
So because they're discouraged, they stop building 00:39:08.200 |
and they just kinda carry on with their lives 00:39:14.160 |
Is it a time for you to live in these paddled houses 00:39:36.580 |
something that happens during the time of the returns 00:39:39.880 |
but up north still 'cause they didn't come back. 00:39:53.420 |
That's why I'll get confused, and Job is the first one. 00:39:57.240 |
And today we're gonna cover Job, Psalms, Proverbs, 00:40:02.760 |
because you're probably already familiar with them. 00:40:12.600 |
'cause it doesn't really tell you how his name comes to be, 00:40:17.440 |
The thing is about the sovereign hands of God. 00:40:19.740 |
Although there's only one hand in the picture, 00:41:26.980 |
So it has nothing to do with like merited suffering. 00:41:33.760 |
Psalms was about two things, praise and prayer. 00:42:46.860 |
It's not that it's not applicable to children 00:43:03.240 |
So Proverbs is actually a dangerous book to teach 00:43:39.000 |
but none of them is sticking in my head right now. 00:44:05.600 |
So be careful when you quote the Proverbs as prescriptives. 00:44:15.120 |
Compared to all the other pictures, this is just nothing. 00:44:18.480 |
Okay, Ecclesiastes is all about emptiness and vanity. 00:44:24.060 |
Okay, Ecclesiastes, emptiness and vanity, moving forward. 00:44:42.980 |
Remember the king who's half-hearted, singing, 00:44:48.900 |
or actually, he has, but this one, there's one wife. 00:44:55.940 |
It's all about the beauty of love in a marriage covenant. 00:44:59.980 |
It's a beauty of love in a marriage covenant. 00:45:27.460 |
Okay, that's a complete, that's a Xerox machine error. 00:45:53.220 |
Song of Solomon, beauty of love in a marriage covenant. 00:45:56.500 |
Now, what I wanna do before you guys break up into part two 00:46:12.700 |
Like, some of you guys are like, I am so antisocial. 00:46:25.180 |
just give 'em a big smile, give 'em a fist bump or a hug, 00:46:32.260 |
and then we'll take a little bit of a break until 11.30. 00:54:20.700 |
45 more seconds, 45 more seconds, 40 more seconds. 00:55:09.180 |
the person you tested just a couple minutes back 00:55:12.380 |
would be a very good candidate to be a special TA 00:55:17.420 |
if we do the Old Testament survey again, raise your hand. 00:55:25.340 |
Okay, we're gonna continue with the next two books, 00:55:30.340 |
and after today, you'll have 24 of the Old Testament books 00:55:40.540 |
So this picture is an "I say uh," "I say uh." 00:55:52.860 |
But the dude on the end is doing a exaltation. 00:56:22.700 |
And wouldn't you know it, it breaks down into 39 chapters 00:56:29.580 |
If you actually look at your Bible, you see that division. 00:56:33.140 |
Okay, God divinely orchestrated the book of Isaiah 00:56:35.940 |
to be divided this way so that in January 2019, 00:56:39.780 |
our Old Testament survey class could have easy 00:56:42.580 |
remembering or memorizing access to this book. 00:56:51.100 |
that has befallen God's people because of sin. 00:57:00.820 |
But 40 to 66, the last 27 chapters is really about 00:57:07.620 |
future rejoicing that comes when a Messiah appears. 00:57:38.140 |
Because the suffering servant is gonna come, right? 00:57:42.380 |
By his chase, or who, the chastening of our sin 00:57:52.420 |
and by his scourging we are healed in Isaiah 53, five. 00:58:12.580 |
who are gonna come and he actually names Cyrus 00:58:20.660 |
So Cyrus wasn't even cellular at this point, okay? 00:58:29.460 |
the one who is serving at the right hand of God 00:59:22.500 |
It's a piece of clothing that basically held stuff together 00:59:29.980 |
God says in Jeremiah, I think it's chapter 13. 00:59:32.980 |
He tells Jeremiah in chapter, I think chapter 13. 00:59:35.940 |
Jeremiah 13, God tells Jeremiah to go to the Euphrates River 00:59:41.060 |
and take this waistband, loincloth, girdle, sash, belt 01:00:02.860 |
and take the waistband which I told you to hide there. 01:00:06.780 |
And it is like stinky and messed up and disgusting. 01:00:31.380 |
So Isaiah is about 3927, weeping and rejoicing. 01:00:36.860 |
Jeremiah is about Judah being like a rotten sash. 01:00:46.460 |
And you actually see the latter historical Judean kings 01:01:05.660 |
So all these names are gonna start being familiar to you. 01:01:35.860 |
dirty Solomon, Rehoboam's, Abba's, Gigi, okay? 01:01:47.100 |
Abijah two, Asa three, Jehoshaphat four, Jehoram five. 01:01:54.220 |
and you wanna become a legit gourmet Bible nerd, 01:01:56.740 |
memorize the dates, 'cause they will help you, okay? 01:02:02.300 |
Now, this six through 10 took me an hour and a half, 01:02:08.220 |
that would make any kind of sense, but I couldn't, okay? 01:02:11.420 |
So you just have to bear with me on this one, all right? 01:02:32.380 |
So, to give you a visual, I put Uzi's eyelashes, okay? 01:02:37.380 |
Stare at it, just stare at it, just stare at it. 01:02:45.900 |
So hopefully, it's like, aha, the queen's lashes 01:02:50.900 |
are amazing, like Uzi's or something, all right? 01:02:55.540 |
Just give me a break on this one, I really could not, 01:03:00.420 |
and then there's like, so this one was hard, okay? 01:03:12.700 |
Aha, the queen's lashes equals amazing Uzi's. 01:03:23.820 |
just sent us nine pizzas, anybody know what that was? 01:03:30.700 |
Kingdom, phylum, genus, you know, all that stuff, 01:03:32.660 |
and then the Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter. 01:03:36.740 |
that makes no sense, but aha, the queen's lashes 01:04:07.860 |
Ahaziah's mom, Ahaziah was king from 841 to 841, he died. 01:04:19.700 |
So she tried to kill everybody in the royal line, okay? 01:04:26.980 |
'cause she's not, her son was part of the royal line, 01:04:33.260 |
So she actually was queen over Judah for six years. 01:04:36.940 |
But she couldn't hunt down one last guy, who was a baby. 01:04:48.380 |
knowing the commandment of God, snatched the baby, 01:04:51.460 |
ran into the temple, and hid him there for six years. 01:04:54.540 |
The last place the queen would look would be that temple. 01:04:57.380 |
But the priest hid him in the temple until he was seven. 01:05:18.220 |
you guys probably be like, oh man, there's so many. 01:05:51.820 |
He's a bad king, and he was assassinated by a guy named Jehu. 01:05:55.580 |
Jehu is like a warrior, he kills all kinds of people 01:06:19.780 |
There's another Jehoiada later that is to come, 01:06:28.540 |
He's the one who taught Jehoash the word of the Lord, okay? 01:06:31.540 |
And Jehoiada was like, the king has returned. 01:06:38.340 |
And this little kid is in like this giant crown, 01:06:43.380 |
she needs to be put to death, Athaliah, okay? 01:07:07.580 |
So he actually grows up to reign as a pretty good king. 01:07:16.900 |
but this child king later is assassinated by his officials. 01:07:21.580 |
So there's all kinds of assassinations going on 01:07:46.420 |
So now you have almost all of the good kings, 01:07:51.420 |
minus two or three, that you guys now remember, right? 01:07:55.260 |
And this was in the time of a major war with Israel, 01:08:02.900 |
And his son, at a young age, Uzziah, becomes king. 01:08:09.140 |
because in the book of Isaiah, it says in chapter six, 01:08:26.300 |
King Uzziah had major reforms to the country. 01:08:37.260 |
Jeroboam number two brought all kinds of revival 01:08:51.540 |
So that's why when he dies, Isaiah is really disrupt. 01:09:14.380 |
If you need these emailed, just shoot me an email 01:09:26.900 |
Ah, that square's not supposed to be there, but. 01:09:38.660 |
it takes up 75% of the Old Testament and half the Bible, 01:10:09.620 |
If I did this the first class, you'd be like, 01:10:20.700 |
How about the T and J in the middle, the green ones? 01:10:26.900 |
The blue, K, S, and A, the D and the K are the same, right? 01:10:52.980 |
and I'm gonna show you today where all the books 01:11:08.460 |
I'm gonna add one more, what do you see there? 01:11:35.060 |
I would just maybe like, don't write out the whole thing, 01:11:45.780 |
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, 01:12:25.100 |
First and second Chronicles, first Chronicles. 01:12:38.260 |
'Cause it traces it from the time before David. 01:12:42.260 |
'Cause it's talking about David's ancestry as well, right? 01:12:59.980 |
Ezra, Nehemiah, and between second Chronicles and Ezra, 01:13:06.220 |
is there a small period of time or a big gap? 01:13:11.300 |
for how many years were the people of Judah in captivity? 01:13:28.220 |
I'm just giving you a biblical eye view, okay? 01:13:35.260 |
without you guys having to strain your eyes, okay? 01:13:48.340 |
So, if you introduce a new believer to Jesus Christ, 01:14:34.780 |
Prayers and praises, and what's Proverbs about? 01:14:51.820 |
Song of Solomon, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, 01:15:01.260 |
Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon goes there. 01:15:22.860 |
Do you know Daniel was born in the year of the lamb? 01:15:35.500 |
they're the ones who throw him into the lion's den. 01:15:42.220 |
So if you look at Daniel, in just a couple chapters, 01:15:45.580 |
he goes from a little teenage kid to an old man. 01:15:49.180 |
Daniel sees all of it, and he also actually sees 01:15:59.820 |
as a little rock, boom, knock this whole thing down. 01:16:15.380 |
Daniel, Hosea, Joel, (speaking in foreign language) 01:16:19.980 |
Daniel, Hosea, okay, all the minor prophets are coming, 01:16:39.220 |
There is debate as to when they were written. 01:16:48.260 |
have a lot of similarity, but Jeremiah is much later. 01:16:55.660 |
so we don't know which of them wrote this one. 01:18:06.420 |
and you're having them read through the Old Testament, 01:18:09.580 |
walk them through it, but maybe you couldn't walk them 01:18:14.500 |
walk them through it, but maybe you couldn't walk them 01:18:17.100 |
through it because you couldn't walk through it 01:18:21.660 |
Now you can, and we still have two more sessions 01:19:00.420 |
I want you guys to review what we looked at today. 01:19:18.140 |
and then we're gonna do our traditional Bible song, 01:19:27.300 |
If you wanna find somebody new, you could do that. 01:19:29.860 |
And then go over the, especially the red part, 01:24:00.860 |
It's actually on YouTube if you look it up, okay? 01:24:29.260 |
So how many of you guys have learned this as a kid? 01:25:01.860 |
Father, thank you for helping us walk through your scriptures. 01:25:10.860 |
I pray that you would give us a deeper hunger 01:25:13.060 |
to know you, to know your word, to know your heart, 01:25:24.060 |
as you've done so with a heart of great love for us. 01:25:26.460 |
I pray that you would help us to be effective 01:25:34.260 |
More and more, we are living in a biblically illiterate time 01:25:47.060 |
Help us, Lord, just to be faithful to your text, 01:25:52.860 |
but to keep it, to observe it, to teach it, to practice it, 01:25:56.460 |
so that all of us could be little Ezras, Lord, 01:26:01.860 |
We thank you, and we pray these things in Jesus' name.
