<div class="SSN_title">"TELL YOUR CHILDREN."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. GOD HAS BEEN MANIFESTING HIS POWER UNTO THE ISRAELITES.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. They have seen the power of God bring the great Egyptian nation to its knees.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. He has made stiff the heart of Pharaoh so that He might show His awesome power to His people.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. God wants the people to know what a mighty God He is.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. They have watched Him as He has been dismantling the Egyptians.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. They are about to follow Him in a grand adventure. He is wanting to lead them to the land that He had promised their father Abraham.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. It is not going to be an easy journey, they will face many hardships.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. They are going to have to learn to trust the Lord. He is showing them His power so that they will have confidence to follow Him.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. GOD WANTS THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS GREAT POWER DECLARED TO THE NEXT GENERATION. "THAT YOU MAY TELL IT TO THE EARS OF YOUR SON, AND YOUR SON'S SON THE GREAT THINGS THAT I HAVE WROUGHT IN EGYPT."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. As parents it is our responsibility to see that our children know of the mighty power of the God that we serve.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. God wants His power and love declared from one generation to the next.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. In the psalm that we read this morning Asaph said:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Psa',78,1);">PSA 78:1</a> Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Psa',78,2);">PSA 78:2</a> I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Psa',78,3);">PSA 78:3</a> Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Psa',78,4);">PSA 78:4</a> We will not hide [them] from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. In <a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,'1-7');">Deut. 6</a>, the Lord commanded Moses to say to the people:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,1);">DEU 6:1</a> Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do [them] in the land whither ye go to possess it:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,2);">DEU 6:2</a> That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,3);">DEU 6:3</a> Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,4);">DEU 6:4</a> Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,5);">DEU 6:5</a> And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,6);">DEU 6:6</a> And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,7);">DEU 6:7</a> And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Verse four is referred to as the Shema. Yahweh Eloheeynuw Yahweh Yishraaeel She-ma echad.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The interesting thing is the Hebrew word for one. The word echad, which is a compound unity.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. In <a onClick="return mV('Eze',37,'16-17');">Ezekiel 37</a> when God told Ezekiel to take the two sticks and join them one to another, and they shall be one in your hand, the word for one is the same Hebrew word echad. The two become joined as one (echad).</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Speaking of marriage God said, the two shall become one (echad) flesh.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. There is another Hebrew word for one, that is Yachid. This is an absolute one. Solitary.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">e. Had the Shema declared: Yahweh, Eloheeynuw Yahweh Yishraaeel Shema yachid, you could have no doctrine of the trinity.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">5. But note, "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and you shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you are walking down the path, when you rise up in the morning."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">6. Again in <a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,'20-23');">Deut 6</a> the Lord said:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,20);">DEU 6:20</a> [And] when your son shall ask you in time to come, saying, What do these testimonies mean, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God has commanded you?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,21);">DEU 6:21</a> Then you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,22);">DEU 6:22</a> And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and awesome, upon Egypt, and upon Pharaoh, and his household, before our eyes:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',6,23);">DEU 6:23</a> And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us into this land which he swore to give unto our fathers.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">7. In <a onClick="return mV('Deu',11,19);">Deut. 11:19</a>, the Lord said:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Deu',11,19);">DEU 11:19</a> And you shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, and when thou walk in the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">8. My mother followed these instructions literally.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. I can still remember when we would lie down for our naps, she would sit in the room and read us Bible stories until we would fall asleep.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. She would repeat this each night.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. She would teach me memory verses as she was pushing me in the swing.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. She would have me read her Bible stories as she was doing the ironing.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">e. When we would ride in the car, she would help me memorize the books of the Bible.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">9. In chapter 12 of our reading this week when God instituted the Passover feast He told them:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Exd',12,25);">EXO 12:25</a> And it shall come to pass, when you come into the land which the LORD will give you, as he hath promised, that you shall keep this service.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Exd',12,26);">EXO 12:26</a> And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, Why do we keep this service?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Exd',12,27);">EXO 12:27</a> You shall say, It [is] the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">10. Many things were done as a memorial so that they might explain to the children the mighty works of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The Passover.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The offering of the firstborn unto God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. The feast of booths.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Lev',23,42);">LEV 23:42</a> Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Lev',23,43);">LEV 23:43</a> That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. The pile of stones on the bank of Jordan. God told Joshua to:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Jos',4,3);">JOS 4:3</a> Command the people to take from the middle of the Jordan River, from the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and leave them in the place where you will lodge this night.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Jos',4,6);">JOS 4:6</a> That they may be a sign to you, [that] in the future when your children ask their fathers What these stones?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('Jos',4,7);">JOS 4:7</a> That they shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. We must pass on to the next generation the truth of the wonderful work of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. As we look at history and the great movements of God we see first that generation that experienced the move of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The next generation are usually told of the great movement of God but often do not experience it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The following generation does not even hear of the move of God. They often do not even know God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Note the great fervor and tremendous revival under John Knox founder of the Presbyterian church, who prayed, "Lord give me Scotland, ere I die."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Now a few generations later:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. A Presbyterian minister in Cleveland, Ohio fronted a suit by the ACLU against the state of Ohio because of their State motto: "With God all things are possible."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">5. John Wesley conducted great revivals all over England and even here in the states, and from those revivals came the great Methodist movement.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The United Methodist board of Church and Society offered a brief to the Supreme Court opposing the Boy Scout ban of allowing homosexuals to become scout masters.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">6. It seems that the law of entropy is not only true in the physical realm, but in the spiritual realm.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The trend always seems toward disintegration. From a strong trust and faith in God to an absolute denial of the faith.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. In a recent survey of 7,741 Protestant ministers by a sociologist Jeffrey Hadden, these are the percentages of ministers who answered no to the following questions.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">DO YOU ACCEPT THE PHYSICAL RESURRECTION OF JESUS AS A FACT?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">51% of the Methodist ministers answered no.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">35% of the Episcopalians.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">33% of the American Baptists.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">30% of the Presbyterians.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">13% of the American Lutherans.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">60% Methodists.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">49% Presbyterians.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">44% Episcopalians.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">34% American Baptists.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">19% American Lutheran.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">DO YOU BELIEVE THE SCRIPTURES ARE THE INERRANT WORK OF GOD IN FAITH, HISTORY AND SECULAR MATTERS?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">95% Episcopalians.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">87% Methodists.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">82% Presbyterians.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">77% American Lutheran.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">77% American Baptists.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3" style="margin-top:10px;">7. This is a graphic illustration of the failure to pass on to succeeding generations the wonderful work of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. THE PURPOSE OF TELLING OUR CHILDREN, "THAT THEY MAY KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. It is so easy to lapse into idolartry, to begin to worship other gods.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The psalmist made reference to the gods of this world.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The gods of pleasure.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The gods of power.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. The gods of sexual indulgences.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">5. The gods of human intellect.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. In the psalm we read this morning, God gave other reasons.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. That they might set their hope in God. We seem to want to set our hopes in everything but God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. That they not forget the works of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. That they might keep His commandments.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. What are you doing to make your children aware of the greatness of God and His wonderful works of love toward us?</div>
