want to say today and we're trusting you to say it loud and clear and help us to receive as Don was singing, ancient words, ancient words, Lord, that are just true today is when you spoke them. And so God, we give our hearts to you now. We ask that you simply lead us in Jesus name. Amen. All right. The reason I've brought this little outline to you is I wanna do something and we're gonna be splitting up some teaching. I'm gonna be doing some on one direction and then Jordan is gonna be doing some on another direction. Unless he's changed his mind, I think he's gonna be going into Galatians, correct? Okay, so the next time that Jordan preaches, he's gonna be going into the book of Galatians and teaching through it. I'm gonna pick up on this particular theme that I'm doing today and try to broaden it out a little bit. Last Sunday, I celebrated a birthday. Amen. I did. I celebrated 52 years of following Jesus. 52 years. It was May 11, 1973. Amen. Hallelujah is right. And in those 52 years, the Lord has taught me a number of things. He's taught me a lot of things that I thought I was right in and he showed me, boy, you were so wrong. And then he showed me a lot of things he just wanted to teach me and he's helped me through the years. In 1978, I entered BBI or Baptist Bible Institute down in Graceville, Florida. It is now called the Baptist University of Florida. I graduated from there in 1980. three and then in 1985 my wife and I came up here with our daughter who was 13 at the time to start to pastor First Baptist Church of Chardon which is now Chardon Christian Fellowship. So I'm giving you a brief timeline here of some things in my life. There's been a lot of different things along the journey that have impacted my life, just like there are a lot of things in your life that's impacted you, both before you were a Christian or since you've become a Christian. And there's three that I really, I mean, there's a whole bunch, but three that I really think about quite a bit. One of them was the beauty and power of the ministry of the Holy Spirit coming into an understanding of just how beautiful and powerful the Holy Spirit is and his desire to fill the lives of God's people and to use them and to bless them and to make them into what they were created to be. When I say make them, it's not like he forces you into, he gives us the ability to become all that Jesus wants us to become. And that is a powerful lesson for every believer to come to. The second one was a number of years after coming here to CCF, I met a fellow by the name of Joe Propri. Some of you know Joe. And Joe pastored down in Garrettsville and he used to do a course that was called self-confrontation. And it was a basics of biblical counseling course. And it was called self-confrontation because really what it was, it was a discipleship program where you looked at life, how God said you can live, and then you confronted yourself with the scriptures. The scriptures were the primary teaching element of this. And it helped me to understand more about human beings, about how God has created us how we kind of go off path. And it helped me to understand as well, the necessity of the scriptures for people to really get on track and to live. And you can live, there's two things that are absolutely, there are absolute necessities in the Christian life. One is the work and power of the Holy Spirit in your life and the scriptures. The scriptures and the Holy Spirit Working together will change our lives. So those were a couple of the life-changing things. I mean, it really impacted me. It changed the way I thought about things. It changed the way I ministered. But there was a third thing, and it came in a teaching that I received from a fellow by the name of Bert Downs. Now, some of you guys in here, many of you know the teaching because I've gone through it with many of you. It's the big picture, the survey of the Bible, what the Bible is all about. And Bert is not the first guy to do this, but actually I think a lot of his teachings came from a ministry called Walk Through the Bible. But Bert did a great short overview of the Scriptures. And one of the things that I've noticed is that In our culture today, many people don't have a handle on the scriptures because it's not like it was 100 or 200 years ago, where the scriptures were pretty common in every household. And most people, when they were young people, they knew what God's word said. They had a pretty good handle on what the scripture says about life and morality, about what's good and what's not good. And so because our generation is so biblically illiterate in these days. Now, some of you in here, and I'm not saying any of us are illiterate, okay, I'm not saying that, but you may not really know what the Bible's about. You may have heard a bit here and a bit there, a piece here, a piece there, but not really know how to put it together. And I found that one of the things that Bert did was he had an interesting way of putting the scriptures together to help you understand the big picture of it, and then to be able to kind of know where you're going when you're reading the Bible because most people when they first start off reading the Bible really don't know where they're going. And sometimes that kind of stays that way for years and years and years. And so what I want to do is for a little while, not all today, but over a few times, I wanna deal with some things about the importance of the scriptures, and then how to look at it as a big picture, okay? So that's why I've given you this sheet, and so what we'll do is we'll look at this sheet today, then I'll try to bring some things out to help you understand a little bit about the Bible. Now, the reason I picked that scripture from Matthew was because Jesus made a statement there. He says, you err, when it says in verse, Matthew 22. Matthew 22, verse 29. Remember the Sadducees, a group of people, and sometimes, here again, the word Sadducee. If you've been around in a church for very long, you know what the Sadducees were if you've been taught. But there may be people in here you say, Sadducee, what are they? Who are they? What are they all about? And that's one of some of the things we'll be looking at is to understand the scriptures and what's in it. So this group of people called the Sadducees come to Jesus and they pose to him a question because what they're trying to do is to trip him up. Jesus believed in the resurrection as every good Jew did, except for the Sadducees, and that's why they were sad, you see, is because they didn't believe in the resurrection, you know. And so, but they came to Jesus to question Him and to really to kind of trip Him up. And what Jesus answers to them is that, look, He says, you do you are mistaken. Now when I read that word mistaken, how many of you know that mistaken means you just made a mistake? But as I look this word up in the in the the original Greek, what it basically means, it's not like you just mistaken, it means that you've gone astray, it's kind of like you're going down a path and now what's happened is instead of staying on that path, you've gone astray, you've mistaken the right path and you've gone onto a wrong path. And so the word, actually the same word is used if you look at the parable of the lost sheep, You know how the sheep, one of these sheep goes out and goes astray? That same word is used there, to go astray. So when Jesus says this, he says, it's not just that you're mistaken about something, you've gone astray, you've departed from the right way. Because you don't know, now here's the thing, because you don't know the scriptures or the power of God. If you don't understand the scriptures, you can go all different kinds of directions. And that's what Jesus is saying to them. You can believe something that's completely false because you don't believe what the scriptures say. And you can also go awry if you don't believe in the power of God to work and affect people's lives. If you don't know what God can do, that God the creator can do all things, that he is not limited by anything except the will of man that refuses to believe him. God won't violate your will. So now that's a bigger discussion for a later time. But what I want to look at is I want to look at this particular breakdown of the scripture so you can kind of see how the Bible's put together. Now, my wife has a table downstairs in our home. And any of you ladies that have been there for Bible study or anybody that's been down there, usually you'll find something on that table. What is it? See, they know it's a puzzle. And because she loves to do puzzles. Now there's a secret to working with puzzles. What do you start with with a puzzle? Everybody knows that. You gotta get it framed right or you'll never figure it out. So you set up the framework first. That's the way you work with a puzzle. Now, if you think of the scriptures this way, if you see the framework of how it's put together, it will help you understand the flow of the Bible whenever you're reading it. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna take that little sheet that I've given you. I've tried to blow it up and put it up on the board. And we're gonna see if, uh oh, did I mess you up there? I won't go back to the, to have you pull up a scripture anymore. Okay, now I don't know if you can blow that up any larger. Probably not, maybe so. Can you see it? Okay, and you've got the sheet in front of you, so there's no, right? Okay, so what I'm gonna do, is we're gonna look at, here's the Bible, okay? Now how many books are in the Bible? Who said 65 over here? 55? 66. 66 books in the Bible. Now, that word right there is called the Tanakh. That's really what it talks about the Old Testament scripture, the Tanakh. So if you hear a Jewish person speaking about the Tanakh, they're talking about the Old Testament. Okay, we would call it the Bible. Now, when we talk about the Bible, what does the word Bible mean? Biblos, it means book. It simply means book. So the Bible is a book, but it's a book of books. There's 66 individual books in the Bible. But now, as we break it down, this is what we would call the Old Testament, okay? In the Old Testament, there are 39 books. Just write it down, 39 books. Some call it the Old Covenant. Then there's also what's called the Help me out here, what's the New Testament? So you got the old and you got the new, okay. How many books in there? 27, okay, you're ahead of me. Now between the Old Testament and the New Testament, there is a period of time called the 400 silent years. See, you're ahead of me already. Now that is what we also call the intertestament time. The intertestament time basically means that there was no prophetic utterances during that time that are recorded. There's nothing that is considered to be scripture. There is no prophet between the Old Testament and the New Testament, 400, quote, silent years. It wasn't that God wasn't doing stuff, but God wasn't speaking through prophets at that time. So what happens is when you have the New Testament come on the scene with the preaching of a guy by the name of who? John the Baptist. John the Baptist comes on the scene before Jesus, and he begins to preach repentance. In other words, turn around, come back to God. Then he begins to preach about, behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. So between the Old Testament and the New Testament, there's 400 silent years, there's no prophet. And when John comes on the scene, All of a sudden people, hey listen, God's speaking again. Okay. So now I'm going to break this down and it makes it easy for you to understand. Now these books are not given in the order in which they were written. You have to understand that. They've been compiled together in order to understand the flow of the Bible. Okay. Some of the books are in order, but not all of the books are in order. Okay, now in this section right here, write foundational, foundational. So this is the foundational section. Over on the other side, same word, foundational section. Okay, we're all together. Under the Old Testament side, there are five books that are foundational to the Old Testament. Five books. Those books are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Those five books, those five books as you, I think it's on your sheet. I'm pretty sure it is. Yeah, it is. What's called, those five books are called by different names. Sometimes you'll hear the Pentateuch. Penta means five, like a pentagram or the pentagon. Five. Teuch means books. So the Pentateuch are the five books. Some call them the book of the law. It's considered one thing, the book of the law. So those five books are considered by the Jews, the book of the law. Sometimes they're called the books of Moses because Moses is the author of them. And sometimes, and usually in Jewish surroundings, they'll be called the Torah. So if you hear the word Torah, it simply means the book of the law, the books of Moses. The Pentateuch, same thing, it's the same thing. So now, those first five books of the Bible are foundational to everything that comes after it, okay? If you miss the foundation, you'll miss a lot of the stuff that comes after because it applies to it. Over here, with the foundational section of the New Testament, you have four books. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. We call them the Gospels. Now, those books are foundational to everything that comes after it. In other words, it kind of sets the course for what comes after. The foundation basically is, this is what God says about life and about how to live life. about how to be blessed and how if you don't walk in his ways and if you're not established in his truth you will not be blessed but instead you'll find difficulties. It's called coming under a curse or coming under judgment. So We'll go through these books later on, but for right now, we're just going to look at an overview, big picture stuff. Okay, so now, scroll it up a little bit. In this section, after you have the foundational books, you have what's called the historical section. The historical section. Okay. Now in that section of the historical section in the Old Testament, there are 12 books. And those books go from Joshua through Esther. From Joshua through Esther. And they're called historical books because they record the history of how God is dealing with a particular group of people. They are the Jewish people who are established back up there in the first five books of Moses. So now over in this section in the New Testament you also have the what? Historical section. But over here there's only one book that records the history of the teachings of Jesus and how the church moves forward. That is found in the book of Acts. So the book of Acts records how believers are living out the foundational truths that are taught in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Are we all together on that? Okay. After that, you have a section called the instructional section. the instructional section. And as you can tell over on the New Testament side, you'll have the same thing, the instructional section. Now in the Old Testament, with these books right here, there are 22. There are 22 books of instructional books in the Old Testament. And they go from Job through Malachi. Job through Malachi. In the New Testament, you also have 22 books that are instructional books. We call them, what do we call them? Anybody, huh? The epistles. Yeah, the letters, the epistle means a letter. Somebody once said, what's an epistle? Somebody said the wife of an apostle. No, but the epistles simply mean letters. It's letters that are written by various people to various either churches or individuals. And what I want you to see is, roll that down just a little tiny bit. Down a little bit. Scroll down. She's working on it. Okay. There we go. Come on down. Come on down. Oh, there we go. Back up a little bit. I'm just testing your skills back there. Okay. Here's what we've got. In the first five books over here that are the foundational, what God does is he lays down how man is to live. And then what he does is in the next section, go down a little bit. Oh, stop, stop, go up, go, there you go. Okay, in the historical section, what this is, is it's how people are living out the foundations that God laid down. So in other words, in the first five books, God lays down certain principles. He lays down like in Genesis beginnings. the beginning of life, the beginning of marriage, the beginning of family, the beginning of sin, the beginning. So all kinds of beginnings are first in the book of Genesis. So what happens is in those first five books that Moses writes are foundational teachings for life. Then what happens is in the historical section, we see how the people are living out the foundational things. Are they living them out in a proper way? Are they walking in obedience? Or are they walking with a disregard for God? Okay? And you see what happens in the historical section. You see what happens if they're walking in obedience, how the blessing of God comes upon them. If they're walking in disobedience, how they come under difficulties. And those difficulties are meant to turn them back to God. It's not because God wants them to be suffering. He wants them to realize that their lives are being lived contrary to God's best for them, and He wants them to come back to Him. Down in the, go up again, in this whole psalm, in this section, the instructional section, this section is speaking into this history. It doesn't continue the history or make it go on longer. These people are writing during this historical time or in that historical time. And what they are is they're either prophets or they're poets. They're people that God calls to speak to his people, to give them instruction So that if they're walking in obedience, it's encouragement. Yay, keep it going, you're doing good. Look at the favor of God upon you. But if they're walking in disobedience, it's to call them back and to say, look at what's going on in your life. Now consider what God requires of you and God says is good for you. And how far apart are you from those two things? God says, this is the way to live and you're living over here. Now, don't scratch your head and wonder, why are things so messed up? Recognize that we're far away from the foundations, far away from the patterns, far away from what God says is good and healthy and right and pure and God honoring. So you have to see that as we go through some of this. The same thing is true in the New Testament. Jesus is preached, Matthew, Mark and Luke Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John record his life. That's the foundational part of the Christian life. Okay, but it's all based on the Old Testament. There's a branch of Christianity today says, well, just get rid of the Old Testament. We just want to hear about Jesus in the New Testament, which is foolishness. It's all together. It's God's word. The one is the foundation for the other. The other is the realization of that foundation. They have to go together. And there are many popular preachers today that are saying, well, the Old Testament, that's irrelevant. I want to just say something. If you hear that kind of teaching, let your spiritual antenna go up. Because Paul said in the book of Timothy, that all scripture is given by inspiration of God. God breathed. That's what the word inspiration means. It's breathed out by God. Just like if you were to speak and put your hand in front of your mouth, you would feel wind coming. It's the wind, it's the breath of God. It's the literal breath of God that's been breathed into these letters or into the Old Testament. Because when Paul said that, he says that all scripture is given by inspiration of God and it's profitable. For doctrine, that means what to believe. For reproof, that means to tell people when they're not believing the right thing or not living the right way, for correction, that means to get them back on the right path, and then instruction in righteousness. That's so that they continue to walk on the right path. When Paul said those words, when he says all scripture, there was no New Testament. It's all Old Testament. Paul is saying the Old Testament, the Old Testament in itself is profitable. for you, it's all inspired by God, it's all valuable. So if you hear somebody saying, well, the Old Testament is irrelevant for today, just put that teaching behind your back and say, I'm not going there, okay? So the same thing is true what's happened in when these both prophets and poets are speaking into this history, they're either encouraging or they're correcting. They're either encouraging or correcting the people in this history. It does not extend the history, it's simply they're speaking into the history. Okay, the same thing is true over here. When these letters are written, whether it's Romans, whether it's Philippians, whether it's Colossians, whether it's any of the New Testament epistles, they are written into this historical context, what's taking place in the book of Acts. Okay, what's in the book of Acts, they're living out the Christian life, and if they're doing well, God commends them through these letters. If they're doing poorly, God says, better straighten up, because if you don't, there are consequences. This is a strong word, consequences. Something that in today's culture, by and large, people just ignore consequences, right? But God is very big on consequences. Listen to how big he is. For in the day that you eat the fruit thereof, you will surely die. That's consequence. That's huge consequence. And so what, if you look at the scope of the scripture, the way God has laid it out, these are always written into the historical part to encourage the people to keep going in the path of God or to bring them back to the path of God if they've gone off of it. Does that make sense? Okay. Now, I know this is short and brief, but it's been very helpful to me because what I'll be doing is I'll be speaking into this in different ways along our journey, okay? So hopefully you'll be able to learn more about the scriptures, how it fits together, what God's intent is by it, and it'll help you live your Christian life more effectively. Um, I did not know that I came through Bible school and I had a great Bible school. When I was in Bible school, they were wonderful. They really were. I had professors that have been pastors for some of them 20, 30 years. And I mean, they pastored churches, they had doctorates, they were excellent Bible scholars. But I'd never learned this particular part about the scriptures. I had never been produced to me or introduced to me. And it helped me to kind of put it all together. It's kind of like the framework. of a puzzle. Once you get the framework in place, then it's easy for you to go to one part of the scripture or another part and to know how they're related to each other. Because the books are related to each other. And if you don't get that, you'll just be reading hit and miss here or hit and miss there, and you won't put them together. And you won't have sound doctrine. And doctrine is a good thing. As my wife said, especially in this day and Amen. So with that being said, by the way, how you like my little pointer? Yeah, it's a scope off a nine millimeter. Hey, listen, you gotta be inventive, right? Okay. So before I close up, I want to ask you, do you have any questions or you have something you need clarification on that maybe I can, and it might be out of the scope of what we're doing right now, and if that's true, I might be coming to it later, but somebody, anybody, I saw a hand someplace, I thought, or maybe it was her picking up the baby back there. I saw something go up there. Any questions that you may have about this? And no question is a dumb question or a stupid question. Boy, you guys got it. Okay. I gave you a paper, what more could you ask for, right? Okay. Okay, Bill. No. If they're Messianic Jews, which I think most of you understand what Messianic Jews mean. Messianic, the Messiah is the name, the Old Testament name for the promised one, the Christ. Messianic Jews, they're Jewish people by birth, but they have come to believe in the Messiah, Jesus the Messiah. And so they would believe the New Testament and they would follow the New Testament and the Old Testament. But Jewish people by and large do not, I mean, I don't know any Jewish people that are Jewish that believe the New Testament. And by the way, many Jewish people, and this is not a slam against Jewish people, it's just that their eyes have been blinded. I mean, they don't understand the scriptures, many of them. In Israel right now, most Jewish people in Israel are atheists. Does that surprise some people? There are Jewish people, many Jewish people, not all, there are many Messianic Jews in Israel. They believe in Jesus, the Messiah, Yeshua. But there are many Jewish people that are Orthodox. The Orthodox believe the scriptures, but they don't accept certain parts of it. For instance, Isaiah 53 is one of the hardest portions for a Jew to understand because it's the suffering servant of Isaiah 53. Most times in Jewish synagogues, they will not read Isaiah 53. It's kind of like the, you don't read that book. Because it testifies so strongly of Jesus the Messiah, the suffering servant. So no, they do not believe the New Testament. Good question though. Anybody else? Adrian? Okay. Everybody hear his question. What about the books that are not in the canon and are there anything good in them? Okay, canon basically means rule. It's the rule of what's been accepted. Now, some people think the canon, in other words, what the scripture is, the books that are in the Bible that we accept. Most people think, well, who decided they'd be in there? Well, there were people that affirmed that they were books of the Bible because they had been read for so long. For instance, the Old Testament, that was closed out you know, before the New Testament came into being, they knew the books that the Jews received and they stood by. In the New Testament, there were other things that were written. For instance, you'll see a lot of epistles of a certain person, but they're not in the Bible. The reason is because many times it's ascribed to be like, It's described to being to a person, but that person didn't write it. That person's been long dead. And so, so people said, well, obviously this cannot be God's word because so-and-so wrote it or says they wrote it, but so-and-so wasn't alive then. So many of those books were discounted, just not received because they, now some people say, well, that all happened at the council of, Nicaea. That did not happen at the Council of Nicaea. Those books, the books in the New Testament were affirmed way before the Council of Nicaea. There were other doctrines that were dealt with in the Council of Nicaea. So the books that are in there, are there any books that have value? Yeah, there's some. The problem is where the error is and where the truth is, it's hard to find in there. No, the Apocrypha is old books in the old, the section of the Old Testament in the Inter-Testament time. The Apocrypha, most of you are familiar with the Apocrypha. The Apocrypha are a group of books that they're actually in the Catholic Bible. And like Bell and the Dragon and Maccabees. Now, Maccabees, it does deal with history. So Maccabees deals with history, but here's the thing in the Apocrypha, Jesus never quoted the Apocrypha, neither did the disciples. So, or the apostles. So the church has received, when I say the church, the believing church, believers in Jesus, have received certain books from the very beginning. And then the early church, for instance, Clement and others in the early church, they affirm, we know, for instance, Christendom, Christendom, I can't pronounce, huh? No, I can't pronounce his name. I never could. He was a disciple of John's. He was a direct disciple of John, the Apostle John. And he knew that John had written certain books, and he talks about it in letters that he had written to the different churches. So from the earliest days, the letters were affirmed by the churches. They knew. They knew the people that wrote them. They had seen them. They'd talked with them. They'd met with them. They'd had representatives go and talk with them after they'd written the letters. The New Testament is about as confirmed as it can be in terms of human ability to confirm it. So I don't know if that answers the question, but. The book of Enoch. That's for another time. I will. Yeah, but I will probably hit on that along the way. Okay. Okay, Dead Sea Scrolls. Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in caves in Qumran. And the Dead Sea Scrolls are from a group of people called the Essenes. They were kind of like separatists. They got away from all culture. It's kind of like, you know, it's the, what do we call them today? Survivalists, yeah, basically that's it. But now they were a group, and John the Baptist was kind of of the flavor of the Essenes. And the Essenes, what they did was they recorded the Old Testament, and they recorded it over and over again. And when these scrolls were discovered in the 20th century, the Dead Sea Scrolls, they affirm the Old Testament Scriptures. There's very little difference of anything in them. So in other words, up until that time, the oldest manuscripts we had for the book of Isaiah, I think was, I think it was like 900 AD, the oldest one, the actual forms that we had for it. Dead Sea Scrolls took it way back earlier. And And it was almost identical. So the Dead Sea Scrolls affirm the Old Testament as we have it. It doesn't deny it or change it. Anybody else? Time. Okay. Oh, Nathan. No, I'm not going to call on you. You ask me all these hard questions that you know the answer to that I don't. Okay, go ahead, Nate. It was Luke partial. Luke wasn't partial. Um, that would be a question you and I need to sit down at and look at. And if you'll bring it back up, I will address it. Okay. Um, because Luke's genealogy is given in a different way than Matthew's genealogy. Matthew's from the king's perspective. Luke is taking it from a totally different perspective. Matthew's taking it from, uh, from Joseph's genealogy. Luke's taking it from Mary's genealogy. After what? Post-Illuvian pre-Babel. Okay, well that's way before David then. Okay. Okay, we'll look at that. Okay. Let's not muddy the waters any more than we have to right now. Especially when I don't know the answer. No. We'll find the answer to it. Okay. Well, let's stand and as was mentioned, we'll have business meeting right after this. We'll take a short break, probably a 10, 15 minute break for some refreshments, and then we'll come back in here. Please, if you're a member, please come back in because we have to have a quorum to do any business. So how many is a quorum? I'll have that number later. I've got to sit down and figure it out because we've got new members. So let's pray. Lord, your word is precious to us. And we know that you give life, Lord, that your word is something that you've given to help us to live. And we can't even know you, Jesus, without your word. Your word draws us. Your spirit draws us. Your word convicts us of our need for you, Jesus. And I ask you, Father, would you help me and help this congregation to get more and more in love with your word, to be able to rightly divide it, to see how it fits and to apply it to our lives in a way, God, that when we live before others, they will see the word of God at work in our hearts, in our daily lives, and that they will want what we have. They'll want you. And so, Lord, would you bless us with a time of strengthening in this body. Strengthening by your spirit, through your word, to accomplish your great and awesome works in the earth. In our day, Lord, we want to live in our day, representing you well. In Jesus' name, amen. All right, go get some food and then come on back in.
