  1. Hey guys, it's Sarah. I just wanted to record something.

  2. It's called the Church Bought with Blood. It's July eighth,

  3. twenty twenty six. God bless you. So we go to

  4. Exodus twelve, verse twelve. The Lord said to Moses and

  5. Aaron in Egypt, this month is to be for you

  6. the first month, the first month of the year, till

  7. the whole community of Israel. That on the tenth day

  8. of this month, each man is to take a lamb

  9. for his family, one for each household. If any household

  10. is too small for a whole lamb, they must share

  11. one with their nearest neighbor. Haven't taken into account the

  12. number of people there are. You are determined the amount

  13. of lamb needed in a corner. But each person will eat.

  14. The animals you choose must be a year old males

  15. without defect, and you must take them from the sheep

  16. of the goats. Take care of them until the fourteenth

  17. day of the month, when all the members of the

  18. community of Israel must flatter them at twilight. So there

  19. was an appointed time to slaughter the l the lamb

  20. there to take some of the blood and put it

  21. on the sides of the drawer frase, and the house

  22. is where they are when they eat the lambs. That

  23. same night, there to eat the meat roasted over the fire,

  24. along with bitter herbs and bread made without yeast. Do

  25. not eat the meat raw boiled in water, but roast

  26. it over a fire with head, legs and internal organs.

  27. Do not leave any of it till mourning. And if

  28. someone is left until morning, you must burn it. This

  29. is how you are to eat it, with your cloak

  30. tucked into your belt, your stands on your feet, and

  31. your staff in your hands. Eat it in haste. It

  32. is the Lord's passover. So on the passover they should

  33. take the blood and put it on the sides and

  34. top to their drawer frames. And why did God command

  35. them to keep the passover?

  36. On that same night?

  37. I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn

  38. of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment

  39. on all the gods of Egypt.

  40. I am the Lord. The blood will be assigned for

  41. you and the houses where you are. Where you are, and.

  42. When I see the blood, I will pass over you

  43. means pass over. It goes over the destruction. No destructive

  44. play will touch you. When iye strikes Egypt. This is

  45. a day you are to commemorate for the generations to come.

  46. You shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord,

  47. a lasting ordinance. The Passover is a signed so God

  48. conspiras when he brings judgment, when he brings judgment upon

  49. other gods on the earth. It's the seal of protection

  50. in all ages. Exodus thirty four, verse twenty five. He

  51. wrote on the tablets the words of the Covenant of

  52. the ten Commandments. As Christians, we should keep the ten Commandments.

  53. But how Christ on some home opened the great truth

  54. hidden for ages and generations. And the Lord said on

  55. to Moses Hugh, the two stones of stone like the first,

  56. two tablets of stone, like onto the first, And I

  57. will write upon these tablets the first the words that

  58. were in the first tablets, which thou breakest and be

  59. ready in the morning, and come up in the morning

  60. onto Mount Sign and presents itself there to meet me

  61. on top of the mount. No man shall come up

  62. with the neither let any man be seen throughout all

  63. the mount, neither let the flocks nor herds before the mount.

  64. And he hewed two tablets of stone like onto the first,

  65. and Moses rose up early in the morning and went

  66. up onto the mount, signing the Lord had commanded him,

  67. and took his hands the two stones, the two tablets

  68. of stone. And the Lord descended in the cloud and

  69. stood with him there and proclaimed the name of the Lord.

  70. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed the Lord,

  71. the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abundant,

  72. and goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquities

  73. and transgression and sin. There will be no meaning clear

  74. of the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon

  75. the children and upon the children's children, onto the third

  76. and fourth generation. And Moses made haste and bowed his

  77. head towards the earth and worships. And he said, if

  78. now I have found grace in thy sight, Oh Lord,

  79. let let my Lord, I pray thee go among us,

  80. for it is a stiff necked people, and partner our

  81. iniquity in our sin, and take us for thy inheritance.

  82. Said they make a covenant before old people that will

  83. do marvels such have not been done in all the earth.

  84. For a nation and all the people among which thou

  85. art shall see the work of the Lord. For it

  86. is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

  87. Observe that which I command thee. This day behold, I

  88. drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canonate, and

  89. the Headed, and the Presite, and the Hithite and the Jebizite.

  90. Take heed to thyself, that thou make a covenant with

  91. the inhabitants of the land. Where though God, let's let

  92. it be an there in the midst of thee, but

  93. you shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut

  94. down their growth, for thou shalt worship no other god,

  95. for the Lord whose name is Jealous God. Then Jesus said,

  96. the first and greatest commandment is love the Lord your

  97. God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind.

  98. In other words, don't worship other gods. So how do

  99. we do this through the covenant? That less thou may

  100. of covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they

  101. go on after other gods, and do sacrifice suns to

  102. their gods. And call they with with the of His sacrifice.

  103. And now take care of their daughters until their sons

  104. and their daughters go on after their gods. Make their

  105. sons go on after their gods. Thou shall make the

  106. the nomal and gods. That is said, the feast of

  107. unloved bread thou shalt keep. So keep the feast of

  108. unloving bread. That's one of that's one of the seventh feasts.

  109. And three times all that, all that, all that openess,

  110. the matrix is mine. Every first ling among the cattle

  111. or the ox, the sheep, that is now none shall

  112. appear before me empty handed, tides and offering. Six days

  113. thou shall work. But on the seventh day thou shall rest,

  114. and your own time, and the harvest thus arrest. The

  115. weekly Sabbath feast, thou shall observe, the feast of of

  116. the first roots of wheat harvest, and the feasts of

  117. and gathering at the year's end. Feast of weeks became

  118. the feast of Pentecost, and the New Testament. The feast

  119. of in gathering is another way of saying the feast

  120. of tabernacles. So that means there's three seven feasts, and

  121. three times. These are three times a year, these feasts

  122. which contains seven feasts altogether. Within the three times a

  123. year you go up to worship. Three times a year

  124. you show all your men children, appear before the Lord God,

  125. the God of Israel. Forever cast out the nations before

  126. thee and enlarge their borders. Neither shall any man desire

  127. thy land. When I shall go up to appear before

  128. the Lord three times a year, thou shallt not over

  129. the butt of my sacrifice with Levin. Neither shall the

  130. sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover be left until morning.

  131. God's sacrifice on the cross is contained in all the feasts.

  132. And the Lord said on to Moses, write down these words?

  133. What words were these the feasts of God? For after

  134. these words I had made a covenant with Thee with Israel, warns,

  135. with the feast, we can fulfill the Ten Commandments, God's covenant.

  136. And he was there with the Lord forty days and

  137. forty knights, and he wrote on the tablets the words

  138. of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments.

  139. Matthew twenty six twenty six.

  140. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he

  141. had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to

  142. his disciples, saying, taking eat, this is my body. Then

  143. he took a cup, and when he had given things,

  144. he gave it to them, saying, drink from all of you.

  145. This is my blood of the Covenant, New Covenant, which

  146. has put out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

  147. For I tell you I will not eat drink from

  148. this fruit of this vine from now until the day

  149. when I drink it anew with you in my Father's

  150. kingdom Ephesians one seven. In him we have redemption through

  151. his blood, the forgiveness of sins, and in accordance with

  152. the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us

  153. with all wisdom and understanding.

  154. One Corinthians ten sixteen.

  155. Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give

  156. thanks to participation in the blood of Christ and the

  157. bread that we break, a participation in the body of Christ.

  158. Because there is one loaf, we who are many or

  159. one body, for we all share the one loaf.

  160. Through the Passover.

  161. We love one another as brothers and sisters, because we

  162. are all one, one flesh and blood. We are heavenly family.

  163. Acts twenty verse twenty eight. For that was a twenty

  164. twenty eight. Okay, Acts twenty twenty eight.

  165. I'm sorry.

  166. Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which

  167. the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, be shepherds of

  168. the Church of God, which you bought with his own blood.

  169. What church did the Holy Spirit establish with his own blood?

  170. It was not any other name of the church except

  171. the Church of God. The very church we are in

  172. is the church God bought with his own bloods own blood,

  173. and he told us to be shepherds of this church.

  174. Galatians one thirteen. For you have heard of my previous

  175. way in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the Church of God.

  176. And tried to destroy Apostle Paul.

  177. I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own

  178. age among my people, and was extreme results for the

  179. traditions of my father's. When God, who sent me apart

  180. from my mother's wom and called me by his brace,

  181. was pleased to reveal his son in me so I

  182. might preach him among the gentiles, my immediate response was

  183. not to console any human being. I did not go

  184. up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before

  185. I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned

  186. to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to

  187. Jerusalem to get acquainted with Sephists and stay with him

  188. fifteen days. I saw no other, saw none of the

  189. other apostles, only James, the Lord's brother. I assure you

  190. before God that what I am ready to is no lie.

  191. Then I went to Syria and Cilicia, and I was

  192. personally unknown to the Church of Judaa that are in Christ.

  193. They only heard the report the man who formally persecuted

  194. us is now preaching the faith he once tried to

  195. the faith he once tried to destroy.

  196. And they prayed God.

  197. They praise God because of me, who became a preacher

  198. of the faith in the Church of God. Apostle Paul,

  199. then we're in the very Church of God that all

  200. the saints of the early Church and in the latter

  201. day saints, that's the saints of this church in the

  202. last days are part of One Corinthians eleven, verse one A.

  203. Paul says, Apostle Paul, follow my example as I follow

  204. the example of Christ.

  205. Don't you have homes to eat or drinking?

  206. Or do you despise the Church of God by humiliating

  207. those who have nothing? What shall I say to you?

  208. Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter, for

  209. I received from the Lord. But I also pass on

  210. to you the Lord used on the night he was betrayed,

  211. took bread, and one of you had given things.

  212. He broke in and said, this is my body, which

  213. is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.

  214. Then we should keep the passover and remembrance of Christ

  215. suffering and dying on the cross for us. And the

  216. same way after the supper he took the cup, saying,

  217. this cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do

  218. this whenever you drink it in remembrance of me. Whenever

  219. you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim

  220. the Lord's death until he comes. Should we follow Paul's

  221. example in the Church of God and celebrate the passover

  222. and preach the Passover? Yes, because he followed whose example

  223. Christ example Luke twenty two twenty. And the same way

  224. after the supper he took the cup, saying, this cup

  225. is a new covenant in my blood. Would just poured

  226. out for you. John fifteen five. The vine and the branches,

  227. Jesus said, I am the true vine, and my father

  228. is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of me

  229. that bears no fruit. Well, every branch that does bear fruit,

  230. he prunes that so that it will be even more fruitful.

  231. You are already clean because of the word I have

  232. spoken to you. Remain in me as I also remain

  233. in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself. It

  234. must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit

  235. unless you remain to me. I am the vine. You

  236. are the branches. Christ is the vine. We are the branches.

  237. If you remain in me and I am you, you

  238. will bear much fruit. Apart from me, you can do nothing.

  239. If you do not remain in me. You are like

  240. a branch that's thrown away and withers, such branches that

  241. are picked up, thrown to the fire, and burned. If

  242. you remain in me, in my words, remaining and you

  243. ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

  244. This is my Father's glory that you bear much fruit,

  245. showing yourself to be my disciples. As the Father has

  246. loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in

  247. my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain

  248. in my love, just as I have. I kept my

  249. father's command and remain in his love. I have told

  250. you this that your joy may be complete. My joy

  251. may be complete in you, and that your joy may

  252. be complete. My command is this, love each other as

  253. I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this,

  254. to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are

  255. my friends if you do what I command. I no

  256. longer call you servants, because the servant does not know

  257. as my master's business. Instead, I have called you friends.

  258. For everything that I've learned from my father, I've made

  259. known to you. You do not choose me, but I

  260. chose you and appointed you so you might go and

  261. bear fruit, fruit that will last, and so that whatever

  262. you ask my father in my name, the father will

  263. give you. This is my command. Love each other. If

  264. the world hates you, keep in mind that are hating me.

  265. First. If you belong to the world.

  266. It will you as sown as it is. You did

  267. not belong to the world, but I had chosen you

  268. out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

  269. Remember what I told you. A servant is not greater

  270. than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute

  271. you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours.

  272. Also.

  273. They will treat you this way because of my name,

  274. for they do not know the one who sent me.

  275. If I had not come and spoken to them, they

  276. would not be guilt guilty of sin.

  277. But now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever

  278. hates me hates my father as well.

  279. If I had not done among them the works no

  280. one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.

  281. As it is they have seen. Yet they have hated

  282. both me and my father. This is to feel what

  283. was written in their law. They hated me without reason.

  284. When the advocate comes, I will send who I will

  285. send to you from the Father, the spirit of truth,

  286. who goes off from the Father.

  287. He will testify about me.

  288. And you must also testify, for you have been with

  289. me from the beginning.
