WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:06.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Wednesday Service, episode fourteen, brought 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.240 to you by Cult the Conspiracy Podcasts. I'm your host, 3 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.279 Josh Monday. If you don't know me, I'm a Christian rapper, 4 00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:13.960 devoted husband, father, and Army veteran. And if you're watching 5 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.199 on a Patreon then you will see that I shaved 6 00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:21.480 my beard. It was a total accident. I had it 7 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.519 on a one. I was shaving and then my daughter 8 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.359 was kind of I kind of took it off to 9 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:27.839 kind of line it up, and I forgot and I 10 00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.120 was like talking to my daughter, eh, and shaved it 11 00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.479 right off. So anyways, you see my military face is 12 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:35.679 what I he just look like in the Army all 13 00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:39.320 the time. So anyways, yeah, so thank you guys so 14 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.679 much for the comments. My goodness. I have a few 15 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:48.679 to go over and a few shout outs from Sunday Service. 16 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:54.039 We have seven comments, Praise God. I have one from 17 00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:58.280 Shannon Aiden. Okay, so thanks again for a good Bible study. 18 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.920 What version of the Bible would you wreck? Men? I'm 19 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.520 pretty new to all this, okay. So the one that 20 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.719 I use on the show is the new King James version. 21 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.159 You'll see some denominations that'll be King James only I 22 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:17.480 see that they are, you know, if they're gonna change, like, 23 00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.159 if they're gonna come out with a new version of 24 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.000 the Bible, it has to be at least ten percent 25 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.319 different than the other one, you know, than the past one. 26 00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.640 So I'm just letting you know that some people do 27 00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:32.079 feel that King James is the best represented version of 28 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:39.079 the Bible. So you'll hear different different different people would 29 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.680 say different things. But I use the new King James 30 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.200 because for me, when I'm reading it to you guys, 31 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.560 I want it to be easy to digest. I don't 32 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.280 want you to be reading the Bible to you and 33 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.680 you guys not be able to understand what I'm saying. 34 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.359 And sometimes when I'm reading the King James and it's 35 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.079 not as fluent for me when i'm reading, So it 36 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.280 doesn't like if you notice a lot on on the 37 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.480 Bible studies that I'm doing. I'm reading through the Bible 38 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.079 and I'm trying to do commentary and then read through 39 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.000 and then i'm doing commentary, and I'm just gonna be 40 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.120 honest sometimes that I slip up a little bit when 41 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.599 I'm reading the King James version. I can do it. 42 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.560 But I think since there's people like you, Shannon, where 43 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.120 some people are new to the Bible, others are probably 44 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.759 veterans to the Bible that are listening to this. So 45 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.479 I want to make sure that I compromise and I 46 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.319 have a happy medium. So if I was just going 47 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.599 King James only, then it might not be as easy 48 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.360 for you or other people to digest. So I'm going 49 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:43.319 with the New King James, which is a newer version 50 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.400 than the King James, but it's a lot of it 51 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:55.400 is very similar and there is it just flows more 52 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.280 nicely for me and easier to read. So I will 53 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.560 let you know so that some other versions are a 54 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.960 little watered down, so be careful, Shannon. Okay, not trying 55 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.360 to talk bad about like a lot of different versions 56 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.159 of the Bible. But Shannon, what I do, what I'm 57 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:18.759 doing my studies is I will read in different versions, 58 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.800 you know, not all different versions, but I'll go to 59 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.759 a few different versions to see what interpretation they used, 60 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.840 and then I go back to something called the Strongs concordance, 61 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.159 which you can find on Bible Hub, which is if 62 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.840 you go to Bible hub. Let me see, let me 63 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.879 see what the app is called, so I can recommend 64 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.719 it for you. The app is a Blue Letter Bible, okay. 65 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.560 And when you go to Blue Letter Bible and you 66 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.240 go to any versus in the Bible, you can click 67 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.199 on a word and it'll give you the definition of 68 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.319 that word. That is very, very good for studying. So 69 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.759 what I would recommend is you go to your app 70 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:02.599 store and download the BLB Blue Letter Bible app. It's blue. 71 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:04.919 I hope you get the correct one. I don't want 72 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.439 to lead you to some other thing, but it'll say 73 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:12.080 BLB and it is the one that I use on 74 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.479 If you guys have pat If you have Patreon, you 75 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.800 can see it on Patreon. If not, it's okay. You 76 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.639 will be able to just google it if you have 77 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.399 an issue with it. But that's a good one, Shannon. Okay, 78 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.879 And since you're new to this, I really appreciate you 79 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.560 sticking around and listening, and I recommend it because Shannon, 80 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.720 I'm gonna tell you something that Romans ten seventeen says. 81 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.480 It says faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the 82 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.439 Word of God. So when I'm doing this commentary and 83 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.759 kind of going through the Bible with you, me just 84 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.759 reading it to you and you digesting it is actually 85 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.160 the nutrients. You know. It's kind of like it's similar. 86 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.199 I'll just say this, it's very similar to if you're 87 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.199 exercising right A to get physically strong, which I do 88 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.480 like to lift weights. Uh, to get physically physically strong, 89 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.680 you have to have food and nutrients, right, and it's 90 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.360 diet along with exercise, right. So the word of God, 91 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:18.399 Shannon is Uh, it's going to be the food or 92 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:22.480 the nutrients, and then the exercise in spiritually is going 93 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.319 to be taking the stuff that you learned and putting 94 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:30.480 it into action. It's called exercising your faith. So uh yeah, 95 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.480 So I really recommend sticking around. Bible studies are very 96 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.959 good and Shannon, if you ever have any questions, I 97 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.720 don't know if you have an Instagram or Shannon, but 98 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.120 you can you can always DM me at Josh Monday 99 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.079 Underscore Podcasts or Shannon.

I really appreciate it, 132 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.800 and it pushes us up the algorithm, and then we 133 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.959 get new people listening like Shannon, and it looks like 134 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:43.800 Flicking Booger says, you never missed it, so you probably 135 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.639 have already been listening, just never commented. But I want 136 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.000 to try to get as many new listeners as I can. 137 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.560 This is not like, oh the more listeners I have, 138 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.519 the more I get paid. That's not what it's about. 139 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.000 I don't even get paid more if I have more listeners. 140 00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.360 I don't even know how many people listen to it anyway, 141 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:04.120 because it's on both conspiracies up channel. But I just 142 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.519 want to say I wanted to get to as many 143 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:11.560 people as possible, especially people in the conspiracy community, because 144 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.439 it is much needed. There is the new Age swallowing 145 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:23.639 up the conspiracy community. Uh Tartaria new age stuff. That's 146 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:27.839 that's itchy, you know, like it's it's it's like honey 147 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.160 to the ears. They want to hear all this stuff 148 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.759 and then they dig down, you know, the people will 149 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:34.879 We'll tell them all these conspiracies and they use it 150 00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.480 at the conspiracy as bait and then they lead them 151 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.000 to spirituality and they lead them away from the Word 152 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.360 of God. I my whole goal since I started podcasting 153 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:49.159 four years ago is to lead people to the Bible, 154 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.919 to the truth, to Jesus, get them saved. You know. 155 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.879 So if you guys can help me by commenting as 156 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.440 many as you can, because it's it's it's gonna keep 157 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.159 this show on the air. As many comments as I 158 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.080 get the better, you know why, because it pushes the 159 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.559 algorithm up and it pushes it to more people. And 160 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.639 it also will make it so that could Conspiracy keeps 161 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.960 me on their platform because they have a bigger audience 162 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.200 than I have on Josh Monday Christian Conspiracy podcast, so 163 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:22.519 it will assist more people.

Last time, 185 00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:49.480 I was like, I'm healed, and then by the middle 186 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:54.000 of the show, I'm like, ah, so anyways, all right, 187 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.000 so and soon I think I might be on a 188 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.639 cult conspiracy show. They asked me, they invited me. I 189 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:02.039 told them the times that I have to do because 190 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.679 I have three shows that I'm running right now. My 191 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:08.399 time is limited. So hopefully soon I'll be on Jonathan 192 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.840 and Jacob's actual show where they're interviewing me, and then 193 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:17.559 you guys can hear some other stuff about me. All right, 194 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.639 let's start this up. Let me get to my notes, 195 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:27.080 and then those that also leave comments on Apple, I 196 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:31.960 really appreciate you, speaker Box, any other people Patreon, anybody 197 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:36.000 that has left any comments on Patreon, I appreciate you. 198 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.080 I don't really get to see Patreon like I get 199 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:41.639 to see the Spotify because Spotify is available for the public. 200 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.960 And like I said, this is not my platform. This 201 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.159 is cult to conspiracies. And I'm just a guest okay, 202 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.720 a guest speaker. So anybody, if I miss you on Patreon, 203 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.480 I apologize, but I appreciate you commenting there as well. 204 00:11:55.679 --> 00:12:01.039 Thank you. Let's go to Luke eight and let me 205 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:14.840 pull this up really quick. Boom, Luke. All right, there 206 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.720 we go, Luke eight, I have it pulled up here, 207 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.759 there we go. I got those notes up and oops, 208 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:30.279 keep those notes up. And also all right, coming right 209 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:37.480 up here? Oops? Where is my regular notes? Okay, sorry, guys, 210 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:42.720 I am just kind of making sure I'm set up 211 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:48.039 before we start. And here we go. All right, So 212 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:54.360 here's Luke eight. Since I don't start till then, let's 213 00:12:54.399 --> 00:13:00.279 go here Luke eight. Many women minister to Jesus Us. 214 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.480 Now it came to pass. This is Luke eight one. 215 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.519 Now it came to pass afterward that he went through 216 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.080 every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings 217 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:14.600 of the Kingdom of God. And the Twelve were with them, 218 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.639 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits 219 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:22.240 and infirmities Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come 220 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.840 seven demons. And Joanna, the wife of Choosa Herod Stuart 221 00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:30.919 and Susannah and many others were provided for him for 222 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.600 their substance. Okay, so it looks like Joanna the wife 223 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:40.000 of Choosa Herod Stewart. So it looks like one of 224 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:45.360 Herod's Herod King Herod Stewarts. Joanna the wife of Choose. Yeah, 225 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.679 so Choosah is one of Herod Stewarts, and the wife 226 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.399 of one of Herod Stewart's is a follower of Jesus. 227 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:58.159 That's awesome. Too bad Joanna, the wife of Joanna didn't 228 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:02.120 get to talk to us, you know, convinced Herod that, 229 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:05.759 you know, Jesus' is not you know, so he didn't 230 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.200 think so bad about him because Herod wanted to actually 231 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:12.559 kill Jesus. Could have put in a good word for him, 232 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:19.200 all right. So yeah, so not really much there. That's 233 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.840 now we're going to go to the parable of the sower. 234 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.960 So let me go to my other notes. Flipped to there. Wow, 235 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.320 first fifteen minutes and my voice started going weird already, 236 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:32.879 all right, So let's go to the parable of the sower. 237 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:37.320 So we're at Luke eight, verse four. And when a 238 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.600 great multitude had gathered and had come to him from 239 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:44.759 every city, he spoke by a parable. A sower went 240 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:47.919 out to sow his seed, And as he sowed, some 241 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.159 fell by the wayside, and it trampled down, and the 242 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:56.519 birds of the air devoured it. So birds of the 243 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.919 air sometimes are referring to Sometime birds of the air 244 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.120 could be referring to demons. So I'm just letting you 245 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.840 guys know that the birds of the air devoured it. 246 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:10.000 Some fell on rock, and as soon as it sprang up, 247 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.519 it withered away because it lacked the moisture. Some fell 248 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:17.360 among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and 249 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.960 choked it. But others fell on good grounds, sprang up 250 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.440 and yielded a crop of one hundredfold. When he had 251 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.639 said these things, he cried, he who has ears, let 252 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:41.159 him hear. So the parable of the sower is going 253 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.399 to be explained by Jesus, and then I'll go to 254 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.960 my notes. After that it says this is the purpose 255 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:50.600 of parables. Then his disciples asked them, why what does 256 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.559 this parable mean? And he said to you, it is 257 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.840 given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God. 258 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.799 But to the rest it is given in parables, that 259 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:03.600 seeing that that may not see, and hearing, they may 260 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:10.919 not understand. Now the parable is this. The seed is 261 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.039 the word of God. Those by the wayside are those 262 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.120 who hear. Then the devil comes and takes away the 263 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:22.200 word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and 264 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:28.519 be saved. M But the excuse me, but the ones 265 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:32.200 on the rock, excuse me, but the ones on the 266 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:35.039 rock are those who, when they hear, receive the Word 267 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:40.399 with joy, And these have no root, who believe for 268 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.440 a while, and in time the temptation and the time 269 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:47.320 of temptation fall away. And now the ones that fell 270 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.200 among the thorns are those who, when they have heard, 271 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:52.600 go out and are choked with the cares, riches and 272 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:57.879 pleasure of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. But 273 00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:59.960 the ones that fell on the good ground are those 274 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.159 who have heard the Word with a noble and good heart, 275 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:10.799 keep it and bear fruit with patience. So it's it's 276 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.640 it's cool how he how he kind of parallels the 277 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.599 word with the seed, because a seed is alive and 278 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:24.440 also it can bear fruit, right, and then also you 279 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:29.119 know the tree will grow. So I think that's that's interesting. 280 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:35.440 So and I just want to say this. Some people 281 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:41.400 think that each one of these explanations is is is 282 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:43.640 how people are like for the rest of their life. 283 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.680 But no, like, there's levels to becoming a believer, right, 284 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:54.240 there's levels to it. Sometimes when you first get saved, 285 00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:57.279 you're gonna be on fire for the Lord, and you're 286 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:01.559 gonna be you're gonna be devout the word and you're 287 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:04.720 gonna you're gonna be doing everything you can. But sometimes 288 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:12.359 that fire slowly goes out sometimes then you know, sometimes 289 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.119 you know in the beginning though it says this, but 290 00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:19.119 the ones, uh, but the ones on the rock of 291 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:24.240 those when they hear receive the Word with joy and 292 00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:26.960 these have no root, who believe for a while and 293 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:30.559 in time of temptation fall away. See that's that's the 294 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:35.680 ones that they first get saved, right because they hear 295 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:38.039 the word, and that they hear it with joy, you know, 296 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.279 because they're super excited, you know, to hear the word. 297 00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:44.519 But they have no root. You know, they don't have 298 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.920 they don't have faith, they don't have like deep faith. 299 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.920 So soon as temptation comes, they fall away. If they 300 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.119 were reading the Word every day, if they were into 301 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:58.079 the Word every day and they're praying every day, and 302 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.240 they were making that faith, that that shield of faith, 303 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.119 because you know, like I said, faith come with by 304 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:06.119 hearing and hearing by the word of God. If they 305 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.359 were in the Word every day, then they would have 306 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.640 more root, so their root would be good. And then 307 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.599 when the temptation comes, they're not going to fall away. 308 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.599 They're going to resist the devil, so he should flee. 309 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:20.440 See you put on the armor of God, and what 310 00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:22.480 is it. It's going to be the helmet of salvation, 311 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.799 the breastplate of righteousness. It's going to be the guard 312 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.799 of truth which holds everything together. And it's going to 313 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:35.559 be the sandals of salvation, right and also I'm sorry, 314 00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:39.160 the sandals of the gospel message. Right. And then you 315 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.559 have a sword, which is the word of God. That's 316 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.880 your offensive weapon. And then you're going to have a shield. 317 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.559 And the more faith you have, the bigger the shield, 318 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.440 and it's used to dods the wiles of the devil. 319 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:55.400 How do you build faith well, obviously through prayer, supplication, 320 00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:00.000 but also by reading the Word of God Romans ten seventeen. 321 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.119 Like I said earlier, faith cometh by hearing, hearing by 322 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:06.240 the word of God. And it's also impossible to please 323 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:11.119 God without faith. Faith is huge, right, So the root 324 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.440 is going to be faith. I believe, right. It says, 325 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.039 who believe for a while, and in time tempatient fall away, 326 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:21.160 and then it says, let's go to the top one 327 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.039 those by the ways that are those who hear. Then 328 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:26.079 the devil comes and takes away the word out of 329 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.759 their hearts lest they should should believe and be saved. 330 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:34.559 So these ones are one foot in the world, one 331 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:39.359 foot in Christianity. Right. So they hear the word, and 332 00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.200 the devil's able to come and take away the word. Right, 333 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:46.160 so we have that the next one is going to be. Now, 334 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:50.160 the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when 335 00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:54.519 they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, 336 00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:57.480 pleasures of life, and bring no fruit of to maturity. 337 00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:03.759 So they go to church, right, they listen to the Bible, 338 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:06.640 and then what happens is for the rest of the 339 00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:11.440 week they have the cares of riches, your job, taxes, 340 00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:16.759 pleasures in life, and they bring no fruit to maturity. 341 00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:20.279 So they listen to the Word of God and they 342 00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:23.319 hear it, but they're not able to put it into 343 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:27.119 action or exercise it. Right, they don't. They they're not 344 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.680 We're bringing no fruit to maturity. Right. But the ones 345 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.640 that fell on the good ground are those who, having 346 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.039 heard the word with noble and a good heart, keep 347 00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:42.839 it and bear fruit with patience. So you see, those 348 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:44.599 are the ones that you want to be. But I 349 00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:47.359 just want to put it this way. I've been in 350 00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:51.640 every one of these positions. It's not like just it's 351 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.000 not just you know, one of these soil types is 352 00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.240 in the you know, will be like your whole life, 353 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:02.559 you're going to be like that. No, no, no, no, there's 354 00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:07.440 just different seasons of being a believer. So sometimes you'll 355 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:10.119 be in that first category, you know, you know, in 356 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.440 the beginning of your walk, and then as you start 357 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:14.160 building faith, you kind of go to the next step, 358 00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:17.279 you know, and you know, temptation might hit you, you 359 00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:20.279 might fall away the next one. You know, you might start, 360 00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:22.039 you know, getting a little bit more into the word. 361 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.680 But but you know, you get these these the cares 362 00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:28.559 of riches pleasures, right, you know, you're basically your your 363 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:30.960 your flesh starts taking over and then you can bring 364 00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:34.400 no future fruit to maturity. Obviously you want to be 365 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:37.759 in this fourth category. But the ones that fell on 366 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.480 the good ground, right, that so the word fell on 367 00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:43.160 the good ground or the good heart, and having heard 368 00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:45.079 the word with the noble and good heart, kept it 369 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:50.799 and bear fruit with patience. Right. So for some people 370 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:55.559 their faith depends on their situation or condition or their circumstance. 371 00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:59.720 So that's kind of the ones that that would be 372 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:02.480 in that category of you know with cares of riches, 373 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:05.119 pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. You know, 374 00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:09.240 their faith is depending on their their circumstances at the time, 375 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.880 right like, Oh, God hasn't you know, God hasn't lived 376 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.640 up to my expectations. He's not helping me as much 377 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.400 as I feel like he should. You know that that's 378 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:20.039 not how it works. You know, that's not how it 379 00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:31.759 should work at all. And that verse Romans ten sixteen 380 00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:36.759 through seventeen, it says, but they have not obebayed all 381 00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:39.920 the but they have not all obeyed the gospel. For 382 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:44.000 Isaiah says Lord, who has believed our report. So then 383 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:47.920 faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Yes, 384 00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:51.400 amen to that. And then we got another verse that 385 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:53.519 I have right here written in my notes is two 386 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.960 Timothy four, verses three through five. For the time will 387 00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.359 come when they will not endure sound action, but according 388 00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:04.960 to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they 389 00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:08.200 will heap up for themselves teachers, and they will turn 390 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.200 their ears away from the truth and be turned aside 391 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:14.640 to fables. But you are watchful in all things and 392 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:19.119 door inflictions. Do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry, 393 00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.240 so it's kind of telling you to be fruitful at 394 00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:28.880 the end there, right, all right, So now we're going 395 00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:32.440 to go to the parable of the revealed Light. This 396 00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:35.799 is gonna be luke. Let me see if there's any 397 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.640 teaching points on that part on that that I can 398 00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:48.799 kind of go over for you guys. Okay, Jesus tells 399 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:51.000 a parable to a large crowd of a sewer who 400 00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:54.440 scatters seat on different types of soil, resulting in varied 401 00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:58.359
