-
all his friends shaded out. It's yours.
-
Happy birthday, Nestor birthday on the old, went inside to mr.
-
Have a size on, had a great party.
-
They boys and girls that got me thinking the word birthday isn't
-
mentioned in the Bible and I discovered that it is it's
-
mentioned in Genesis 40:10 about Pharaoh's birthday, and he was a
-
very very well. Wicked Pharaoh.
-
Remember, he was the Pharaoh that in sleeved the children of
-
Israel and made them work for nothing on beat a whole lot of
-
people with weapons. And taskmasters.
-
Did you know that Heritage birthday is also mentioned in
-
the Bible. It is mentioned twice.
-
In Matthew, chapter 14, and also in Mark chapter 6 there.
Matthew 14 chapter mention Mark 6 chapter mention
-
That was the ground son of Herod the Great.
-
And I also checked out other references in the Bible and I
-
discovered that there's one reference in the Bible.
-
Old to the day of one's birth. And of course, the day of one's
-
birth is linked to the word birthday.
-
I'm not versus fine in Ecclesiastes, chapter 7, verse 1
-
and it says, a good name is better than precious ointment on
-
the day of death than the day of one's birth.
-
And I was thinking, well, in relation to birthdays.
-
What do we do? What sort of tame as it?
-
Could? I suggest?
-
Boys and girls and young people. If you're listening to me that
-
it's a time to Rejoice. Do you know that astray special
-
word that came from the lips of mr.
-
Happy to all his friends especially to mr.
-
Birthday who organized the happy event for him?
-
And it was this. Thank you through the Bible says
-
boys and girls and everything. Give thanks for this is the will
-
of God in Christ. Jesus concerning you and wider.
-
Birthday is a very special time and it's a happy occasion.
-
Remembering the day of your birth, but you should also thank
-
your parents, your mom and dad. You should especially thank
-
those who organized your, happy birthday party, whether it's
-
your brothers or sisters or your best friend or your mommy and
-
daddy. You should also thank those gas
-
that come to your party. Those that give you a card.
-
Those that give you a special gift, but you know what you
-
should also thank the Lord because it's a time to remember
-
the day of your birth. It's A time to rejoice in the
-
very precious gift of life. For remember the Bible tells us
-
that in him. We move and live and have her
-
being and it was the psalmist. David that said be thankful unto
-
him and bless us neum. And you could be thankful for
-
the day of your birth that God has given you.
-
The very, very precious gift of life, but it's not only a time
-
to Rejoice, Boys and Girls. It's A Time To Remember many,
-
many years ago. There was a great Baptist
-
preacher called Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
-
He lived in London and he preached in the metropolitan
-
Tabernacle to a crowd of about 6,000 people.
-
And, you know what he said about one's birthday.
-
There's a number of questions that every time a birthday comes
-
around that you should think about it and hear the questions
-
are. Who am I?
-
And why am I here? What am I doing?
-
Who am I serving? Where am I going?
-
I'm will I be rewarded, I'm things, of course, questions all
-
tie into a spiritual nature because we should remember who
-
be are not just your name like a my birthday.
-
I can remember. And even McLaughlin.
-
I can remember who my mama and daddy is and I can remember the
-
family into him. I am born, but you know what?
-
Earth Day is an occasion to remember that God has given you
-
a very precious gift. The gift of Life.
-
Who am I? I'm a creature made in Hemet as
-
image. I'm dependent on him for in him.
-
I move 11 of being and, and it's him.
-
That's given me the very precious gift of Life.
-
He's the god, whose hand. My breath is.
-
That's who I am. I'm also a Christian.
-
I'm a child of the king and a not only who am I, but why am I
-
here? And the answer is mounts?
-
Defenders to glorify God and enjoy him forever, and that's
-
our purpose in life. We're here to glorify God and to
-
enjoy him. Not only think of who am I and
-
why am I here? But think of who am I serving?
-
What am I doing here? You see the psalmist?
-
Could say I serve the Lord Christ.
-
Joshua could say I was for me and my house.
-
We will serve the Lord. I wonder are you living for?
-
And serving the lord even on your birthday.
-
Can you recall that also think about?
-
Where are you going? Do you know a true Christian has
-
this wonderful Assurance? Surely goodness and mercy shall
-
follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the
-
house of the Lord forever. It was the Apostle Paul that
-
talked about being absent from the body and present with the
-
Lord, you think of the day of death.
-
Armed, it's chosen rather more precious than the day of one's
-
birth because not only have we are birthday.
-
But let's remember we all have a deaf day and we've got to live
-
in light of Eternity and we've got to prepare to meet our God
-
and will be. Will we be rewarded the answers?
-
Yes, whenever we are brought into heaven.
-
We will hear those words. Well done, good, and faithful
-
servant and there though end to the jaw.
-
I of thy Lord, but there's one other thing that I want to leave
-
with you. It's not only a time to rejoice
-
in the time, to remember, it's a time to recite because what did
-
Master birthday? Forget he forgot his own
-
birthday. He forgot to recite and record
-
his own birthday. And you see Barzillai an old
-
man. Did he for ask this question to
-
King David? How long have I to live?
-
And the true answer to that question is not very long.
-
Do you know that our life is swifter than us, Weaver shovel.
-
Do you know, boys and girls that our life is like the vapor if
-
you watch the steam coming out of the cattle, whenever it's
-
boiling to make your coffee, or your tea in the morning, and it
-
doesn't last very long. Well, that's what your life is,
-
like, in the eyes of the Almighty.
-
We don't live very long. Even if we get to eat a or 90 or
-
100 at still, not very long in comparison to God's eternity and
-
more than that. God has determined the number of
-
our days. And that's why some are died in
-
infancy. And that's why some die in their
-
20s and their 30s in their 40s and their 50s or 60s and their
-
70s. It is gold of us determine the
-
number of our days. So, every day is precious.
-
I'm on the Bible says, teach us to number our days that we may
-
apply. Why our hearts unto wisdom and
-
can I tell you something else? We have enough time left to get
-
right with God. My the Bible doesn't really tell
-
us to wait until tomorrow says boast, not thyself of tomorrow,
-
for no man knoweth. What a day may bring forth.
-
Jesus said sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
-
But listen to this. Paul says today, if you will
-
hear his voice Harden, not your hearts.
-
Behold my, as they accepted time behold.
-
Now is the day of salvation, and I asked you even on your
-
birthday. Not only to Rejoice with
-
thankfulness. Not only to remember these
-
important questions, but can you recite that you have a spiritual
-
birthday that there was a day when you were born again of the
-
holy spirit that day, when you ask Jesus Christ to be your lord
-
and your savior, I trust you remember the story of mr.
-
Burfoot. You rejoice and give, thanks
-
that. It is your birthday and you'll
-
celebrate that with all your family and friends around you.
-
But you remember these important questions.
-
Do you love the Lord? Are you living for him?
-
Do you belong to him? Are you his child?
-
And can you recite that testimony, that your heads?
-
Remember you haven't long to live.
-
God has set the number of your days.
-
And remember this, God has given you time to prepare and get
-
right with him to repent and receive Christ as Lord and
-
savior. And thank you for listening
-
today and God bless you.
