WEBVTT - Jeff Archey - Oct 13 - 6:00 am

0:00:00.630 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Glorify God. What a thought and what a pursuit. You

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>will love the definition and hopefully you'll love our study

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>just ahead from the International Gospel Hour. Stay with us.

0:00:15.620 --> 0:00:21.979
<v Speaker 2>Hi, this is Jay Webb for International Gospel Hour. Welcome

0:00:22.020 --> 0:00:25.860
<v Speaker 2>to our broadcast today. For over 90 years, churches of

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:30.310
<v Speaker 2>Christ have proclaimed God's Word through our broadcasts. Just ahead

0:00:30.450 --> 0:00:35.270
<v Speaker 2>is another Bible-based lesson with Jeff Archie of International Gospel Hour.

0:00:35.909 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's begin.

0:00:41.500 --> 0:00:44.779
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you always to our J-Web for his kind

0:00:44.820 --> 0:00:48.059
<v Speaker 1>words and greetings and hello everyone. It's great having you

0:00:48.100 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>with us today as we take the Word of God

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>that according to Psalm 119, 105 is a lamp unto

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.900
<v Speaker 1>our feet and a light unto our path. Let's pursue

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.090
<v Speaker 1>the Word of God today. In Psalm 86, verses 11

0:01:03.090 --> 0:01:07.630
<v Speaker 1>and 12, Teach me your way, O Lord. I will

0:01:07.670 --> 0:01:12.490
<v Speaker 1>walk in your truth. Unite my heart to fear your name.

0:01:12.510 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all

0:01:15.950 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>my heart, and I will glorify your name forevermore. For

0:01:20.980 --> 0:01:24.700
<v Speaker 1>our study today, please pause and think about the most

0:01:24.819 --> 0:01:28.930
<v Speaker 1>important thing in your life. And the answer should be,

0:01:29.550 --> 0:01:33.650
<v Speaker 1>am I glorifying God with the life He has given me?

0:01:34.730 --> 0:01:42.010
<v Speaker 1>To define magnify, or to glorify rather, means to magnify, extol, praise, value,

0:01:42.130 --> 0:01:46.780
<v Speaker 1>and honor God through our participation. Now a lot of

0:01:46.810 --> 0:01:51.580
<v Speaker 1>people may praise God, but are their lives participating in

0:01:51.620 --> 0:01:56.220
<v Speaker 1>what God has provided unto them? We magnify God, but

0:01:56.340 --> 0:02:00.980
<v Speaker 1>in order to properly do that, our lives must participate

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.310
<v Speaker 1>in the things of which we are thankful and we

0:02:04.420 --> 0:02:07.970
<v Speaker 1>magnify Him. When we honor God, we want to honor

0:02:08.030 --> 0:02:12.670
<v Speaker 1>Him with our lives. So let's ask this question. Would

0:02:12.970 --> 0:02:18.350
<v Speaker 1>our lives be easier, more organized and strengthened if each

0:02:18.430 --> 0:02:22.930
<v Speaker 1>day we do as the Lord commands and glorify God?

0:02:24.700 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 1>without a doubt and absolutely. And it begins with looking

0:02:29.100 --> 0:02:32.340
<v Speaker 1>at my Lord Jesus. We'll be back in just a bit,

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:38.690
<v Speaker 1>and consider, let me glorify God by looking at my Lord.

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Let me glorify God by looking at my Lord Jesus Christ.

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.570
<v Speaker 1>You know, think about it. There is no better example

0:03:36.830 --> 0:03:41.589
<v Speaker 1>to look unto. In 1 Peter 2, 21-25, For to

0:03:41.670 --> 0:03:46.210
<v Speaker 1>this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us,

0:03:46.630 --> 0:03:50.460
<v Speaker 1>leaving us an example that you should follow his steps.

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth? Who,

0:03:55.100 --> 0:03:58.300
<v Speaker 1>when he was reviled, did not revile in return? When

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed himself to

0:04:01.090 --> 0:04:05.090
<v Speaker 1>him who judges righteously. who himself bore our sins in

0:04:05.150 --> 0:04:08.670
<v Speaker 1>his own body on the tree, that we, having died

0:04:08.710 --> 0:04:12.170
<v Speaker 1>to sins, might live for righteousness, by whose stripes you

0:04:12.210 --> 0:04:16.180
<v Speaker 1>were healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but

0:04:16.380 --> 0:04:21.380
<v Speaker 1>have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls. Friends,

0:04:21.420 --> 0:04:24.460
<v Speaker 1>did you notice from the better example of Christ, there

0:04:24.580 --> 0:04:28.659
<v Speaker 1>is no better example, how we should follow his steps?

0:04:29.230 --> 0:04:33.510
<v Speaker 1>how we should in turn follow and follow him as

0:04:33.690 --> 0:04:37.130
<v Speaker 1>not like a sheep that's gone astray. Does that not

0:04:37.230 --> 0:04:42.950
<v Speaker 1>match the definition of glorifying God through our participation, if

0:04:42.990 --> 0:04:46.470
<v Speaker 1>you will, or following the Christ and being more like him?

0:04:46.490 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Number two, let me glorify God by looking at my

0:04:50.700 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Lord and how his healing brought others to glorify God.

0:04:55.790 --> 0:05:01.630
<v Speaker 1>great lesson here from Matthew 15, 29-31, where Jesus departed

0:05:01.670 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 1>from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up

0:05:04.420 --> 0:05:08.340
<v Speaker 1>on the mountain, and sat down there. Then great multitudes

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.350
<v Speaker 1>came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed,

0:05:12.450 --> 0:05:15.630
<v Speaker 1>and many others. and they laid them down at Jesus' feet,

0:05:15.970 --> 0:05:19.950
<v Speaker 1>and he healed them. So the multitude marveled when they

0:05:19.990 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking,

0:05:24.860 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and the blind seeing, and they glorified the God of Israel.

0:05:31.820 --> 0:05:35.860
<v Speaker 1>You see, when they saw the actions of Jesus, his healing,

0:05:35.940 --> 0:05:40.890
<v Speaker 1>and what was happening, can you imagine parents bringing a child,

0:05:41.230 --> 0:05:45.070
<v Speaker 1>just for an example, that could not walk. And in

0:05:45.130 --> 0:05:49.430
<v Speaker 1>just a matter of seconds, the child is now walking.

0:05:50.190 --> 0:05:53.570
<v Speaker 1>Think about how one that could not speak, the first

0:05:53.610 --> 0:05:57.790
<v Speaker 1>time you would hear them say something. That's amazing. And

0:05:57.810 --> 0:06:03.010
<v Speaker 1>they glorified God because of the work of Jesus. Friends,

0:06:03.310 --> 0:06:07.909
<v Speaker 1>lesson to learn. When we glorify God, we're able to

0:06:07.970 --> 0:06:10.550
<v Speaker 1>take the works of Jesus and and if you will,

0:06:10.670 --> 0:06:14.870
<v Speaker 1>allow our hands and our feet to be His. Third,

0:06:14.890 --> 0:06:17.790
<v Speaker 1>let me glorify God by looking at my Lord and

0:06:17.850 --> 0:06:22.980
<v Speaker 1>how His teaching brought others to glorify God. In Luke 4,

0:06:22.980 --> 0:06:25.990
<v Speaker 1>14 and 15, then Jesus returned in the power of

0:06:26.010 --> 0:06:29.090
<v Speaker 1>the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out

0:06:29.130 --> 0:06:33.230
<v Speaker 1>through all the surrounding region, and He taught in their synagogues,

0:06:33.670 --> 0:06:39.850
<v Speaker 1>being glorified by all. Friends, may the teaching... that we

0:06:39.910 --> 0:06:44.610
<v Speaker 1>bring forth glorify God. May the teaching and instruction we

0:06:44.670 --> 0:06:47.870
<v Speaker 1>share with you here from International Gospel Hour be to

0:06:47.910 --> 0:06:53.100
<v Speaker 1>glorify God, but yet to allow us to say, Thank you, God,

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:57.159
<v Speaker 1>and to praise and value and honor Him as you

0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 1>participate in your studies of these things we talk about.

0:07:01.980 --> 0:07:05.020
<v Speaker 1>You know, in Acts 17, 10, and 11, those in

0:07:05.060 --> 0:07:08.750
<v Speaker 1>Berea were more noble or fair-minded than those in Thessalonica.

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.990
<v Speaker 1>in that they received the word with readiness of mind

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.310
<v Speaker 1>and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

0:07:16.070 --> 0:07:18.950
<v Speaker 1>In between our broadcast, we love for you to search

0:07:18.990 --> 0:07:22.130
<v Speaker 1>the Scriptures and share with you things that will help

0:07:22.190 --> 0:07:26.410
<v Speaker 1>you in the search of Scriptures. Let me glorify God

0:07:26.450 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>by looking at my Lord, and not only do I

0:07:29.260 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>see His example and His healing and His teaching, but

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>what about His praying? In John 17, let's consider some

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>text within this wonderful chapter. Beginning with verse 1, Jesus

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 1>spoke these words, lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father,

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:50.620
<v Speaker 1>the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>also may glorify you. As you have given him authority

0:07:55.060 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to

0:07:59.300 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>as many as you have given him. And this is

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>eternal life. that they may know you, the only true

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:11.580
<v Speaker 1>God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I have

0:08:11.620 --> 0:08:15.260
<v Speaker 1>glorified you on the earth. I have finished the work

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.700
<v Speaker 1>which you have given me to do. And now, O Father,

0:08:19.170 --> 0:08:23.430
<v Speaker 1>glorify me together with yourself with the glory which I

0:08:23.470 --> 0:08:27.290
<v Speaker 1>had with you before the world was. Friends, if you'll

0:08:27.330 --> 0:08:31.470
<v Speaker 1>allow me, what a context of glory and beauty. And

0:08:32.929 --> 0:08:37.020
<v Speaker 1>See the prayer of Jesus, that he's praising the Father.

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.540
<v Speaker 1>We drop down to verses 22 through 24 of John 17.

0:08:41.540 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 1>And the glory which you gave me I have given them,

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>that they may be one just as we are one,

0:08:49.340 --> 0:08:52.490
<v Speaker 1>I in them and you in me, that they may

0:08:52.550 --> 0:08:55.750
<v Speaker 1>be made perfect in one, and that the world may

0:08:55.790 --> 0:08:59.330
<v Speaker 1>know that you have sent me, and have loved them

0:08:59.870 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 1>as you have loved me. Father, I desire that they

0:09:03.700 --> 0:09:07.860
<v Speaker 1>also whom you gave me may be with me where

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I am, that they may behold my glory which you

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 1>have given me, for you loved me before the foundation

0:09:16.660 --> 0:09:20.340
<v Speaker 1>of the world. What a beautiful thought to see the

0:09:20.420 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>prayer of Jesus glorifying God. And may our prayer lives

0:09:25.140 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>be the same. What about his crucifixion? Did it not

0:09:29.620 --> 0:09:34.620
<v Speaker 1>stir the centurion to glorify God? In Luke 23, 44

0:09:34.620 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and following, When the sun, or the sixth hour, when

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.859
<v Speaker 1>there was darkness, the sun was darkened, the veil of

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the temple was torn in two. And verse 46, When

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, Father,

0:09:46.740 --> 0:09:49.439
<v Speaker 1>into your hands I commit my spirit, and he breathed

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>his last, the centurion, a respectable man, a knowledgeable man,

0:09:54.920 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>saw what happened. He glorified God. saying, Certainly this was

0:10:00.980 --> 0:10:04.119
<v Speaker 1>a righteous man. May we look at the crucifixion of

0:10:04.220 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Christ and see, friends, to glorify God, to be thankful,

0:10:10.500 --> 0:10:13.970
<v Speaker 1>to magnify, to praise Him, to extol Him and honor Him.

0:10:14.910 --> 0:10:19.270
<v Speaker 1>But we do so when that allows us to respond

0:10:19.290 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to Him. In looking at my Lord from His life

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.100
<v Speaker 1>to His death, others glorified God because of the life

0:10:26.179 --> 0:10:29.820
<v Speaker 1>of our Savior. And may we glorify God because Jesus

0:10:30.420 --> 0:10:34.059
<v Speaker 1>and the salvation He provides as we look unto Him.

0:10:35.500 --> 0:10:37.689
<v Speaker 1>Teach me Thy way, O Lord. I will walk in

0:10:37.730 --> 0:10:41.230
<v Speaker 1>Thy truth. Unite my heart to fear Your name. I

0:10:42.350 --> 0:10:45.330
<v Speaker 1>will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,

0:10:45.670 --> 0:10:49.550
<v Speaker 1>and I will glorify Your name forevermore. For great is

0:10:49.580 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>your mercy toward me, and you have delivered my soul

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>from the lowest hell. We began with Psalm 86, 11,

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.099
<v Speaker 1>and 12. We add in verse 13 for his greatness.

0:10:59.960 --> 0:11:02.199
<v Speaker 1>And in Hebrews 2 and verse 10, it became him

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.939
<v Speaker 1>for whom are all things, and by whom are all things,

0:11:07.220 --> 0:11:10.500
<v Speaker 1>in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:15.859
<v Speaker 1>of their salvation perfect through sufferings. Hebrews 2, verse 10.

0:11:15.860 --> 0:11:20.620
<v Speaker 1>I think about Philip. came up out of the water

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.140
<v Speaker 1>when Philip baptized him in Acts 8 and verse 39,

0:11:24.140 --> 0:11:26.589
<v Speaker 1>the Bible says that he went on his way rejoicing.

0:11:27.590 --> 0:11:30.730
<v Speaker 1>And friends, when an individual hears the gospel of Jesus Christ,

0:11:30.790 --> 0:11:34.550
<v Speaker 1>believes it, repents of their sins, confesses their faith, and

0:11:34.590 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>they're baptized just like the eunuch, they will rise up rejoicing. Friends,

0:11:39.890 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 1>before we depart today, we'd like to share with you

0:11:42.980 --> 0:11:47.250
<v Speaker 1>a great online Bible study that is free. We'd like

0:11:47.270 --> 0:11:50.910
<v Speaker 1>for you to visit our friends at International Bible Teaching Ministries.

0:11:51.580 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Their website is ibtministries.org. That's ibtministries.org. While there, take a

0:12:01.140 --> 0:12:04.340
