0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm John Stanghy, and today we're in First Chronicles, chapter

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight, and we'll be reading from the English Standard version.

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>David assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>officials of the tribes, the officers of the divisions that

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>served the king, the commanders of thousands, the commanders of hundreds,

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the stewards of all the property and livestock of the

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 1>king and his sons, together with the palace officials, the

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>mighty men, and all the seasoned warriors. Then King David

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>rose to his feet and said, hear me, my brothers

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and my people. I had it in my heart to

0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>build a house of rest for the ark of the

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God.

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>And I made preparations for building. But God said to me,

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>you may not build a house for my name, for

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>you are a man of war and have shed blood.

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Yet the Lord, God of Israel, chose me from all

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>my father's house to be king over Israel forever, for

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>he chose Judah as leader, and in the house of Judah,

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.759
<v Speaker 1>my father's house, and among my father's sons, he took

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and of all my sons. For the Lord has given

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>me many sons. He has chosen Solomon, my son, to

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>over Israel. He said to me, it is Solomon, your son,

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>who shall build my house and my courts. For I

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>have chosen him to be my son, and I will

0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>be his father. I will establish his kingdom forever if

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>he continues strong in keeping my commandments and my rules

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>as he is today now. Therefore, in the sight of

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>all Israel, the assembly of the Lord, and in the

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>commandments of the Lord, your God, that you may possess

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>this good land and leave it for an inheritance to

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:28.239
<v Speaker 1>your children after you forever. And you, Solomon my son,

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>know the God of your father, and serve him with

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a whole heart and with a willing mind. For the

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought.

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 1>If you seek him, he will be found by you.

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.399
<v Speaker 1>But if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong and do it. Then,

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 1>David gave Solomon, his son, the plan of the vestibule

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of the Temple, and of its houses, its treasuries, its

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>upper rooms and its inner chambers, and of the room

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>for the mercy Seat, And the plan of all that

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>he had in mind for the courts of the House

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>of the Lord, all the surrounding chambers, the treasuries of

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the House of God, and the treasuries for dedicated gifts,

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>for the divisions of the priests and of the levites,

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and all the work of the service in the House

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Lord. For all the vessels for the service

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>in the House of the Lord. The weight of gold

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>for all golden vessels for each service. The weight of

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>silver vessels for each service. The weight of the golden

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>lamp stands and their lamps. The weight of gold for

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>each lamp stand and its lamps. The weight of silver

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 1>for a lamp stand and its lamps, according to the

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>use of each lamp stand in the service. The weight

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of gold for each table for the show bred the

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>silver for the silver tables, and pure gold for the forks,

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>the basins, and the cups for the golden bulls, and

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the weight of each for the silver bulls, and the

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>weight of each for the altar of incense made of

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>refined gold, and its weight. Also his plan for the

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 1>golden chariot of the Cherubim that spread their wings and

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>covered the ark of the covenant of the Lord. All

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>this he made clear to me in writing from the

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>hand of the Lord. All the work to be done

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 1>according to the plan. Then David said to Solomon, his son,

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:35.359
<v Speaker 1>be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid,

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.479
<v Speaker 1>and do not be dismayed. For the Lord God, even

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 1>my God, is with you. He will not leave you

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>or forsake you until all the work for the service

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 1>of the House of the Lord is finished. And behold

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the divisions of the priests and the levites for all

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the service of the House of God. And with you

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>in all the work will be every willing man who

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>has skill for any kind of service. Also the officers

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 1>and all the people will be wholly at your command.

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's pray, Lord, we thank you for your word, and

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>we thank you for the privilege to look at this

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>portion of Scripture today and to see the things that

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>you had put on David's heart in the ways that

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>he challenged his son Solomon to be devout in his

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>worship and obedience toward you. Lord. It's encouraging to be

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>able to look at a portion of scripture like this

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>and to see just how concerned David was that this

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 1>temple would be built and that your name would be

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>honored among the people of Israel. And Lord, we're grateful

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>that this gives us a picture of your great desire

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>that a temple be built consisting of people, that your

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>church would be built through faith in your son Jesus Christ.

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>As each person who comes to faith in Christ is

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>added to this group, and you continue to build us up,

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and you continue to invest in us, and you continue

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>to help us to reflect the life and the holiness

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 1>of your son Jesus Christ. Lord, we're grateful that you

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 1>foster that within us today. We're grateful for what you're

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 1>doing in our lives, and we're grateful for your presence

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.359
<v Speaker 1>with us. We pray, Lord, that we would honor you

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 1>today and that we would serve you completely with all

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>aspects of our hearts and our minds that we would

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.599
<v Speaker 1>be completely devoted to you. Today, we thank you for

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>your goodness and love toward us, and we pray this

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>all in Jesus' name. Amen,
