and sing hymn number 327. 327.
We'll sing this to the tune of 04 A Thousand Tongues. O for a life that will not shrink
oppressed by many a foe, that will not tremble on the brink
of any earthly woe, that will not murmur nor complain beneath
the chastening rod. But in the hour of grief or pain,
we'll lean upon its God. A faith that shines more bright
and clear when tempest rage without. That when in danger knows no
fear, In darkness fills no doubt. Forgive me such a faith as this,
And then whatever may come, I'll taste it now, The hallowed bliss
of an eternal home. Be seated, we'll sing hymn number
252. 252. Come, every soul, by sin oppressed,
there's mercy with the Lord. And He will surely give you rest
by trusting in His word. Only trust Him, only trust Him,
only trust Him now. He will save you, He will save
you. He will save you now For Jesus
shed His precious blood Rich blessings to bestow plunge now
into the crimson flood that washes white as snow. Only trust Him, only trust Him,
only trust Him now. He will save you, He will save
you, He will save you now. Yes, Jesus is the truth, the
way that leads you into rest. You are fully blessed. Only trust Him, only trust Him,
only trust Him now. He will save you. He will save you. He will save you now. On 2 Samuel chapter 7. 2 Samuel
chapter 7. Now we won't have a Wednesday
night service next week. Our meeting starts a week from
Friday. More preachers are coming. Looking forward to it, looking
forward to it. I ain't had a meeting like this
in four or five years. I'm gonna start reading. Verse
18, and go to the end of the chapter. Then went King David in and sat
before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? And what
is my house that thou hast brought me hitherto? And this was yet
a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God. But thou hast spoken also
of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this after
the manner of men, O Lord God? And what can David say more unto
thee? For thou, Lord God, knowest thy
servant. For thy word's sake, and according
to thine own heart, wast thou hast done all these great things
to make thy servant to know. Wherefore thou art great, O Lord
God. There is none like thee, neither
is there any God beside thee. according to all that we have
heard with our ears. And what one nation in the earth
is like thy people, like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a
people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you
great things and terrible for thy land, before thy people,
which thou redeemest to thee from Egypt, from the nations
and their gods? For thou hast confirmed thyself
thy people, Israel, to be a people unto thee forever. And thou,
Lord, art become God, their God. And now, O Lord God, the word
that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his
house, establish it forever, and do as thou hast said. And
let thy name be magnified forever, saying, The Lord of hosts is
the God over Israel. And let the house of thy servant
David be established before thee For thou, O Lord of hosts, God
of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build
thee a house. Therefore thy servant found in
his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. And now, O Lord God,
thou art that God, and thy words be true, that thou hast promised
this goodness unto thy servant. Therefore now let it please thee
to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue forever
before thee, for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it, and with
thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed forever." Lord, we read in this thy word
that you're God. You're the God of your people.
You're the God of a people on this earth. that you've done
for them what you've never done for anyone else. You separated
them to yourself. You gave them your promises.
You gave them your word. You gave them faith to believe
your word, gave them a heart to call on you and look to you
and trust you. Lord, we gathered out this evening,
as David did, to set before the Lord. We're here to set before
you, Lord. We're here to set before you.
to worship you, to adore you, and to bless your holy name.
And Lord, please meet with us this evening. And those who are
not with us, through your providence, please be merciful, gracious. We pray again for Doc, for Janie,
for Rick, for Helen, for others, Lord. I don't know how many people,
Lord, had what they go through, but you know And you know your
people, you know where they are, and you know what they go through.
So, Lord, we leave them where they are in your blessed hands
and providence and goodness. And, Lord, we pray again for
our children, our grandchildren. Please be merciful to them, be
gracious to them. Create in them a great need.
And, Lord Jesus, as our meeting starts next week, God bless our
brethren. Give them all safe travels here
and all the people that's going to come to be here. Give them
safe travels and bless the preaching. Oh, God, we need to hear some
preaching. I need to hear some preaching.
So bless my dear brethren to preach and to be a blessing to
us here. And may we be a blessing to them.
And we bless you and praise you for these things in our Lord
Jesus name. Amen. M number 298. 298. In shady green pastures so rich
and so sweet, God leads his dear children along. Where the water's cool flow bathes
the weary one's feet, God leads his dear children along. Some through the waters, some
through the flood, Some through the fire, but all through the
blood. Some through great sorrow, but
God gives a song, In the night season and all the day long. Sometimes on the mount where
the sun shines so bright, God leaves his dear children alone. Sometimes in the valley in darkest
of night, God leaves his dear children alone. Some through the water, some
through the flood Some through the fire, but all through the
flood Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song In the night
season and all the day long Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,
God leads His dear children of old. Through grace we can conquer,
defeat all our foes, God leads His dear children of old. Some through the water, some
through the flood Some through the fire, but all through the
blood Some through great sorrow, but God gives us all In the nice
season and all the day long Away from the mire and away from
the quay, God leads His two children along. Away up in glory, eternity's
day, God leads His two children along. Some through the water, some
through the flood Some through the fire, but all through the
blood Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song In the night
season and all the day long Back over here in our text, I'm
going to start there in verse 18. And one thing that amazes
me, and it always has, in verse 18, then went King David in and
sat before the Lord. I don't know where this was,
it happened. David wanted to build God a house, and God said,
David, you're not going to build me a house. I don't dwell in
temples made with hands, but your son will. But I'm going
to cause your house, your generation, your name to last forever and
ever." But he went and sat before the Lord. And look what it says
in verse 1 here, chapter 7. And it came to pass when the
king sat in his house, And the Lord gave him rest around
about from all of his enemies. David sat in his own house. He
got to thinking God needed a house, a place. I dwell in a wonderful
house. I'm going to build God one. God said, no, you're not.
I'm going to build you one. You won't build me one. I'm going
to build you one. He was talking about the Lord Jesus Christ,
of course. Then went King David in verse
18. I'm going to try to go through
this. And you know, He drew near to God and sat before the Lord.
Sat, that's a posture of waiting, waiting before God. He sat there
resting before the Lord. Sitting, that posture of worship
before the Lord. And oh, he went, Ken David, and
it was before the Lord. He wasn't concerned about anything
or anyone else. And you know, I say right here,
you know, I say this all the time, we're before the Lord right
now. We're before the Lord. We're sitting here right now.
We're like David, we're sitting before the Lord. And he sat before
the Lord, his master, his redeemer, his God, his Lord. And he sat
before him in adoration. Oh, he adored his God. He come
to worship him. to revere him, to love him, to
praise him, and render thankfulness to him. He loved, he loved the
Lord, and the Lord loved him. And he revered him, he feared
him, he gloried in him, he rejoiced in him, and he worshiped him. He sat before the Lord. And you
know the Lord, this is something he allowed David to sit before
him. And the Lord allows us allows us, sinners like ourselves, to
sit before him. There's so many places in the
New Testament, especially where, like that woman in Luke chapter
7, she came to the Lord Jesus Christ and sat at his feet, sat
at his feet, and began to wash his feet with her tears, dry
them with the hairs of her head. And then there's Mary. You know,
Martha, Martha had the Lord Jesus come for dinner, come to eat. And Mary was sitting there at
the Lord Jesus Christ sitting there at his feet, looking up
at him. And Martha said, Lord, cause
her to get up and help me. She said, Martha, Martha, you're
worried about a lot of things, but Mary's chosen that good part.
I'm not going to take it away from her. And God allows us. sinners like ourselves to come
and sit before Him. And that's what He meant, let
us draw near. Let us draw near by a new and
living way. And I tell you what, if we ever,
ever see something of the holiness and glory and beauty of the Lord
Jesus Christ, we'll sit before Him and as David said, look what
he says next, who am I? Who am I? Oh Lord God, who am
I? Who am I? When you see the Lord,
like David did, said before him, like I, who am I? Who am I? You know what God said? Look
what God said over here in verse eight of chapter seven. Now therefore also shalt thou
say unto thy servant David. This is, God told Nathan to say
this to David. Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
I took thee from the sheep coat, from following the sheep, and
listen to this, went from being a shepherd, a boy, and then he
said, following them to be ruler, to be the ruler over my people
Israel. I brought you from nothing to
everything. You didn't have anything, and
I gave you everything, and all my And you know our Lord Jesus
Christ, what is my house? That's what he says. What is
my house? Why would you bring me to such a place? He says,
who am I, Lord? Who am I? Oh, Lord, you're talking
about humility. Here's the King of Israel. Said
before God, and I don't care who you are, when you get before
God, the first thing you gotta say, who am I that you'd even
look in my direction? Who am I that, oh God, you'd
show grace to me? Who am I that even look in my
direction? Oh, my. Oh, if anyone brought
here, there'd be no more arguing over whether salvation's the
will of God or free will of man. There'd be no more arguing over
the cooperative effort no more arguing over if it's fair for
God to have an elect people. And oh, there's a multitude of
people don't believe in that. And oh, in seeing God, in seeing
God as David did here, set before the Lord, we're overwhelmed,
overwhelmed that he had looked in our direction, look in our
direction. He said, what is my house? I'll
tell you what my house is. When he talks about a house,
he's talking about a man in all of his generation, that his name
would last forever and ever. And that's what he's talking
about David. But oh my, I tell you, I'm from the house of Adam.
You know what my coat of arms is? Rebel. Double-died sinner. But, oh,
I sat before the Lord, I was a child because of the seed that
was promised, the Lord Jesus Christ. And this, look what he
says. Look what he says in verse 19.
That's why thou brought my house to this place. And yet this was
a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God. But thou hast spoken also
of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the
manner of man, O Lord God?" Now, you think about this. David said,
this is a small thing for you to do. You're so great, and you're
so wealthy, and you got such a treasure. You're so infinite
that what you would do for me, it seems like a small thing compared
to what you could do and what you're able to do. Oh, my. Oh, small. Your mercy and your
grace, your goodness and your power, so infinitely vast. And what you've done for me compared
to what you are, just a small thing, just a small thing. Oh,
my. And he says, what you've done
and what you're doing is a small thing as to what you've promised
me. Oh, a small thing. It don't seem small to us. But
David said, you know, considering who you are and how great you
are, how blessed you are, how infinite you are, how eternal
you are, how rich you are, how wealthy you are, how eternal
you are, that what you do for me is just a little bit. Just a little bit, just a little. And I tell you, to know Christ,
to know Christ is such a joy, full of experiences and so much
more to come. You know, what he's done, he's
done for a multitude of people, no man can number. And oh my,
to know Christ is such a joy. full of all the experiences,
but so much more to come. John, when he tried to express
it, you know what he said? He said, behold, just behold,
what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us. And God's
promise is a foundation of our hope. God's promise, and that's
what David said, you promised, this is a small thing. And while
you brought me to this place, Abraham believed that what he
was promised, that God promised, he is able also to perform. Look what else he says there
in verse 19. And is this the manner of man? Is this the manner
of a man, O Lord God? Is this the manner of man? Can man do this? Can man do this? No. Is this the way you treat
men? Take beggars? off the dunghill
and make them into princes? To say freely, to bless so abundantly,
to make promises as so glorious? Oh, my. And then David became
speechless. Look what he said in verse 20.
And what can David say more unto thee? He said, what can I say? What more can I say? What more
can I say? He becomes speechless. He becomes
speechless. What more can I say? And, oh,
God said this about the human race, and this is going to happen. It's happened to me. It's happened
to you. God says that the whole world's
going to become guilty before God, and every mouth shall be
stopped. There'll be no more arguing.
No more debating. And that's what David said. I
don't have, I don't know what to say. I don't know how to say
anything else. No, I said, what more can I say? And we, we sometimes
become speechless when we really see the Lord. Job said this,
I heard about you with the hearing of the ear. Now my eye sees you. Well, what do you feel? I ain't
got nothing else to say. I got nothing else to say. And
when we're overwhelmed, overwhelmed with His grace and goodness,
whom having not seen, we rejoice in love and rejoice with joy
unspeakable, full of glory. Look what else he says in verse
20. What can David say more unto thee? I don't know what else
to say, Lord. And Lord, I love this right here.
For thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant. Thou, Lord, knowest
thy servant. What a comfort. What a comfort
to a child of God. Lord, he says, you know me. You
know me. You know your servant. You know
me. You know me. And I tell you, that's one of
the most comforting things in my mind that a believer can ever
understand is that God knows them. You know, he's known us
before the foundation of the world. You know your servant. Our hope of glory is founded
upon this and God's foreknowledge. He says, he told the Galatians
that when you know God, or rather are known of God, he said, you
know God, but rather you're known of God. Oh, the foundation of
God stand is sure. The Lord knows them that are
his. He knows them that are his. And
oh my, I tell you, what more can we say? Nothing. Nothing. The Lord knowest thy servant.
You know, I don't know how many people that I've known over the
years, when they get sick, they get delirious, or they go into
a coma, or they get to where they don't know anything. I've
known my wife done it, Mary did it, your daddy did it. And so many people get to where
they just don't know anything. They become unconscious. And
Rick Garrett's wife, Helen, she got that way. She was almost
in a coma. She didn't even know what was
going on around her. Ain't you glad that God said, I know you? I'm gonna get one of these days
and people say, what's your name? I swear, I wish I could remember. I'd tell you if I remembered
it. But oh my, it's not. Lord, I know. Lord, thou knowest
thy servant. You know. You know us, Lord.
You know me. And oh, what a, we look through
a glass darkly right now. But then one of these days we're
going to see face to face. Our face is going to see His
face. Face to face. Right now we look through a glass
darkly. But that dark veil is going to
be done away with one of these days. Oh my. And I tell you,
what can we say? What we say means nothing. God
looks right into the heart. Right into the heart. Oh Lord. And then what He says in verse
21. Oh Lord God, thou knowest thy servant. For thy work's sake,
for thy word's sake and according to thine own heart, hast thou
done all these great things to make thy servant to know them.
And oh, he said, why does God treat me this way? That's what
he's saying. Why do you do this? Why do you treat me this way?
Who am I that you'd treat me this way? And why do you love
me so? Why do you make such promises?
He said, they're for thy word's sake. Because of what? Your word. For
your word's sake. You know, God can create another
world. He can create 10,000 worlds.
But one thing he'll never create is another word. That word, that
word, he said, for thy word's sake, I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth. Thou hast hid these things from
the wise and prudent and hast revealed them unto babes. And look what he says, for thy
word's sake and according to thine own heart. You know, the
only person that had a heart was our Lord Jesus Christ when
he was on this earth. But God talks about a heart.
God said here, I have a heart. Now, when he talks about having
a heart, that means that he has the ability to have compassion.
He has the ability to love. He has the ability to open his
heart. He has an ability to open his heart to you and you to him. But according to that heart,
oh my, he's done all these great things. What is in God's heart? When we talk about God, what
is in according to the heart, what's in God's heart? What's
important to him? What's important to him? What
is he jealous over? Well, first he's jealous over
his word. Oh, if it's not according to
your word, don't say nothing about it. I don't want to hear
about a dream. I don't want to hear about a vision. I don't
want to hear about nothing but my word. And then he's jealous
over his grace, his grace. Rick told me the other day, we
was talking and when his God taught his father the gospel
and they was a member of a, he was a pastor of a church and
he got to preaching grace and they said, he's got, you got
to go. You gotta go, you can't stay here. So they moved out
and got them a little place and they started worshiping. They
worked there for 13 years. But there was a preacher in that
church where they was put out at. That preacher said, come
and talk to Rick's daddy and said, Grace, Grace, I'm so sick
of hearing about Grace. He lived about a month after
that. Maybe two. Priest Sunday morning died Monday. Young man. Oh, listen. God's grace, that's in his heart. Oh, his grace and the sovereignties
of his grace. He's jealous over his grace.
Don't you bring me no works. Don't you bring me nothing else
but, I don't want to hear about nothing else but grace. Oh my. And I tell you that, and His
glory, oh, He's jealous over His glory. He said, I'll not
share my glory with nobody. I won't share my glory with no
one on this earth, or I won't share with anything in heaven.
And I'll tell you something else that He's jealous over, that's
in His heart, His people. He said, He that touches you
touches the apple of my eye. That's what He said. And oh my,
and I'll tell you the most more, most wonderful thing is, is he's
jealous and the son, his blessed son is in his heart. His blessed
beloved son. And when you take about thinking
about God, what's in his heart, all these things go together.
And oh my. And look what he goes on to say
down there in verse 21. For thy word's sake, according
to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things.
And listen, why did he do that? To make us to know him. I want
you to know these things. And that's what he said, to make
thy servant to know. That's the only reason I do that,
is to make you know. I know, I want you to know. And oh, look what he says now
in verse 22. Wherefore thou art great, O Lord
God, for thou hast done like thee, neither is any God besides
thee. According to all that we have
heard with our ears, all that faith that comes by hearing,
we've heard about God, and we love everything we've heard about
him. And oh my, and who is like unto thee, O Lord God? Who is
like unto the Lord? We hear of lots of gods. Oh,
I hear lots of gods. People tell me about gods all
the time. They're gods. You hear about
them all the time, all different gods. But who is as great? Who is as just? Who is absolutely
sovereign? Who is omni? Who is omni? Who's omnipresent? Everywhere. Who is omnipotent? Got all power. who is omniscient, got all wisdom,
God. And look what he says here. Look
what he says. Oh my, who loves like God does,
who saves like God does. Oh, thou art great. And he says,
wherefore thou art great. Maybe that's where the person
who wrote, how great thou art. How great thou art. When I consider
thy son not sparing, but sent him to die, to bear my sin away,
then sings my soul, how great thou art." Oh, he was like, who
is great? And we've heard about you. Oh
my, we love to hear about you. And then look what he says in
verse 23. that what one nation in the earth
is like thy people, like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a
people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you
great things and terrible for thy land before thee, which thou
had redeemest to thee from Egypt, the nations, their gods, their
gods. Now let me say this, you know,
what peoples like the Lord's? When you got a right view of
God, when your view of God is right, and it's a high view of
God, you know what else you'll do? You'll have a high view of
the Lord's people. If you got a high view of God,
then you got a high view of His people. Who's any people like
what your people are? What nations like your people?
And if you got a high view of God, the right view of God, then
you got a high view of his people. And look what he says. You went
to redeem them for yourself. You redeemed them for yourself.
Gloriously, effectually redeemed them. The lamb's been slain,
the blood's before the Lord. And oh, look what he says. Thou redeemed thy people, redeemeth
thy people, to make them special, to make him, and look what he
says, to make himself a great name. God done this to make a
great name for himself. He redeemed us to bring glory
to himself, have a great name for himself. Oh, my. And look what he says there,
and save us from their gods. Saved us from the nations of
their gods. Saved us from their gods. Oh
my. And oh, he affectionately redeemed
his people. Affectionately redeemed them.
Didn't try to, didn't hope to, didn't like to, didn't think
he would, but he did. And he did it for himself. Did
it to his own glory, to make a name for himself. And redeemed
us from all of our gods. God's. And now look what He says
down here in verse 25. No, excuse me, verse 24, I'm
sorry. Look what He says, For thou hast
confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee
forever. And thou, Lord, art become their
God. When He says, Thou hast confirmed
to thyself thy people. And you know that word confirmed
means cause to stand, Cause to set up, it means to appoint.
And that's what this is, talking about the covenant of grace.
You have caused us to stand. You set us up. You appointed
us. And oh God, you confirmed, appointed
us, set us up, caused us to stand. And oh, and look what he says.
And look what he says. And thou art become their God.
We are appointed to be his people forever. And he said, I'll be
their God. I'll be their God. I'll be their
God. He didn't say, do you want me
to be your God? He said, no, I'm going to be
your God. I'm going to be your God. You're going to be my people. And then look what David said,
verse 25. Here's a plea of faith. Here's
a plea of faith. And now, O Lord God, the word
that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his
house, establish it forever and do as thou hast said. Do what
you have said. Lord, you gave me your word.
You made a promise to me. And you just do what you said
you was going to do. He has promised. Shall he fail? Our faith is based upon what
he said, what he promised. And in praying, and in praying,
how often do we just tell God what God's already said? We just
pray what he's already said. And that's what David's saying
here, Lord, you're going to establish my house forever. And just do
like you said. You've spoken your word. You
gave me a promise. So, and you establish it forever
and do just like you said. Don't do, just do like you said.
Do like you said. And that's what we do. We tell
God things that he's already said. Already said. Things that
he's already said. I heard Scott say one time, all
we're doing is telling people what God's already said. That's
what preaching is, saying what God said to people out there,
sitting and listening. And look what David said here
in verse 26. And let thy name be magnified. Let thy name be magnified forever. Saying, the Lord of hosts is
a God over Israel. Let the house of thy servant
David be established forever. David said, let thy name be magnified. Can you find happiness and joy
and peace in what glorifies Him more than anything else? David said in Psalm 115, not
unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name be glory forever
and ever. Wherefore should the heathen
say, where is now their God? Our God is in the heavens, and
He's done whatsoever He pleases. And then look what he says there
again in verse 26. Let the house of thy servant
be established. Let us be established by you.
Let us be your people. You be our God. Establish us. Cause us to be established. Established
before God. Established in His grace. Established
in faith. Established in His Word. And
then look what he says in verse 27. For thou, O LORD of hosts, God
of Israel, I love this now, watch what he says now, has revealed, the God of Israel
has revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an
house forever, therefore hath thy servant found in his heart
to pray this prayer unto thee. O Lord, I know your word, and
I know you, I know you, How do I know your promises? Because
you revealed it to me. You revealed, how do we know
anything from God? It has to be revealed to. God,
you revealed this to me. Lord, you revealed to me what
you was gonna do. You weren't made the promise.
You was the one that called me before you. And I said before
you, and that's in my heart, you put it. He said, and the
servant found his heart to pray this prayer unto you. And when
you look in the margin where it says he revealed that, he
opened the ear. When He reveals something, He
opens the ear so you can hear it, so you can hear it. And oh,
my. Our Lord, I know Your Word, know
Your promises, because You revealed them to me. You revealed them
to me. You revealed them to me. And oh, my. Revelation, revelation,
revelation. God, reveal Yourself to us. Reveal
Your Word to us. Reveal yourself to us. We won't
know a thing about you if you don't reveal yourself to us.
Then look what he says in verse 28. And now, O Lord God, thou art
that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness
unto thy servant. Thou art God, and thy words be
true, and you promise. God's word is true. Let every man be a liar, but
God be true. Let every man be a liar, but
let God be true. Your promises is good to your
servant. You reckon God's promises is
good? A person's promises, there's
a lot of people that we make promises and something happens
that we can't keep that promise. But God never makes a promise
that he can't keep. That he never has kept. And all
my Let God be true, and every man a liar. Let everything God
says be true. And oh Lord, thou art true. Thou art true. Thy words be true.
And your goodness unto your servant, you promised. And oh my, it's
the goodness. And then look at the last verse.
Look at the last verse. Oh, listen to how David says
it. Therefore now let it please thee. to bless the house of thy
servant. Let it please you. Oh, God, let
it please you. Let it please you. Whatever pleases
you, whatever brings glory to you, whatever you do, let it
please you to do it. Oh, my, what rest of heart that
the house of thy servant may continue forever and ever before
thee. For thy Lord God has spoken it with the blessing, let the
house of thy servant be blessed forever. Let it please thee,
what rest of heart, what pleases you, O Lord, to bless me, to
establish me forever with the blessings of thy house forever
and ever. And he said before the Lord,
now I want to show you a house. I want to show you another house.
Look with me in Hebrews chapter three, and I'm done. Hebrews
chapter three. We'll read down to verse 6. We're
for holy brethren. That's what we are, partakers
of the heavenly calling. You consider the apostle and
high priest of our profession. Christ is our profession. We
profess Christ. And Christ was faithful to him
that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house
in what God called him to do. For this man was counted more
worthy of more glory than Moses. Christ was counted more, inasmuch
as he who hath builted the house hath more honor than the house.
Moses was a servant in the house. But I'll tell you what, Christ
has more glory than Moses, just like the house, the builder of
the house has more glory than the house itself. For every house
is builted by some man, But he that built all things is God.
And Moses truly was faithful in all his house, as a servant,
for a testimony of those things were to be spoken after. But
Christ, as a son, over his own house, listen to this, whose
house are we? That's David's house right there. Son over his own house. All right. Our Lord and our God, in the
blessed, glorious, precious name of your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ,
we read over and over and over tonight about your word, about
your promise, about your goodness, about your knowingness, and that you caused the house
of David, which is the house of Christ, O Lord, to be established forever.
And Christ sits on David's throne even now, David's son, After
concerning the flesh, he sits at the right hand of God on the
throne forever and ever and ever. And oh, Lord, we thank you for
your faithfulness. Thank you for your promise. Thank
you for your word. And thank you, oh, God, and pray
that you will establish us. Help us always to remember, like
David, who am I? We're nothing. We're nothing,
but he's everything. to help us to honor and glorify
Him. May His name be magnified above
everything else in this world. For Christ's sake, we pray. Amen. Amen. Well, good evening. God bless you, and I'll see you
Sunday, Lord willing.
