Title: Joshua and Judges: The allotment of the land, part 17 - Predestination; Jos 14-17.

Announcements / opening prayer:

Fallen man is in disunion with God, himself, and others. In essence all fallen men are Pharisees at some level and they seek salvation in their own definition of good when true good is only found in the person of Christ.

Fallen man therefore is blind though he thinks he sees. If he were to understand that he was blind, i.e. a hopeless sinner, then he would see his need for a Savior, which for every man, this very thought occurs at salvation.

Luk 10:17 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name."

Luk 10:18 And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like...

Title: Joshua and Judges: The allotment of the land, part 16 - Predestination; Jos 14-17.

Announcements / opening prayer:

Last night we began to look at the disunity of man from God and the knowledge of good and evil in his fallen mind. The good news or the gospel is that Christ died for the sins of the world in order to bring man into union with God and to restore him to the rulership that was the purpose of God. The believer in union with God is made a brand new creature and his life is the justified, heavenly life of Christ. As such, the believer lives far above the good and evil of man in disunity.

The Christian has been made complete in Christ, Col 2:10. He follows Christ, a person and not a list. The believer in union with Christ has an essence that compels him to the good that is only from God and he possesses the wisdom of the word of...

Heb 2:10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.

Heb 2:11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Heb 2:15 and might deliver those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all...

Heb 2:10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.

Heb 2:11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Because the Sanctifier and the sanctified are one, all from one Father, He can call us brethren who actually become one with Him.

The sanctifier sanctified the brethren. If He had not, the gulf between us and Him would be so vast that He would have to be ashamed to call us His brothers and sisters. The cross filled...

Title: Joshua and Judges: The allotment of the land, part 12 - Predestination; Jos 14-17.

Announcements / opening prayer:

Heb 2:1 For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

Heb 2:2 For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense,

Heb 2:3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard,

Heb 2:4 God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.

Heb 2:5 For He did not subject to angels the...

Title: Joshua and Judges: The allotment of the land, part 11 - Predestination; Jos 14-17.

Announcements / opening prayer:

It is clear that when we fell we were definitely under the dominion of Satan, Heb 2:14-15; Eph 2:2.

Our status as slaves who were originally designed to be rulers was not ever to be a final status in the purpose of God. He did the unthinkable and became a man.

He Himself became a man and as a man alone, with deity set aside, He crushed the neck of Satan, and in doing so, ascended to the right hand of God thus regaining what man had given away. The plans of God will not be usurped by anyone.

Heb 2:6 But one has testified somewhere, saying,

"What is man, that You remember him? Or the son of man, that You are concerned about...

Title: Joshua and Judges: The allotment of the land, part 10 - Predestination; Jos 14-17.

Announcements / opening prayer:

The writer of Hebrews quotes Psa 8 in emphasizing the importance of the message that has come to man directly from our Lord and the apostles. This message of grace and majesty and rulership in our predestined plan has come to man only and not angels. God has established strength in the weakest of creatures.

Psa 8:1 For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

O Lord, our Lord,

How majestic is Thy name in all the earth,

Who hast displayed Thy splendor above the heavens!

Psa 8:2 From the mouth of infants and nursing babes [under three years old] Thou hast established...

Title: Joshua and Judges: The allotment of the land, part 9 - Predestination; Jos 14-17.

Announcements / opening prayer:

[Intro to video] Currently it has been fashionable and hip to disrespect the flag of the United States and therefore the nation itself. The justification of this is perceived injustice against minorities. The truth of the matter is that minorities have the greatest chance of success in our nation since it remains a free nation. The truth of the matter is that data clearly shows that our nation's police officers do not target blacks or any other minority group. The truth of the matter is that our nation's military is also being disrespected; men and women who have sworn to uphold the constitution and to dedicate their lives to Loyalty. Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage, and to renounce any conduct unbecoming. While...
