The Most Controversial Subject in the Bible — Greg Locke

Mark 6: Jesus Sends His Disciples to Preach Repentance

Let's open our Bible tonight, please, to the Gospel of Mark. The Gospel of Mark, chapter number 6, please. The Book of Mark tonight and chapter number 6 in your New Testament Bible. So good to see you.

Thank you all for coming. Appreciate all the visitors. Appreciate the preachers that are here. Appreciate you folks from Valley Drive. And appreciate you Wicked Baptists on the back row. Amen. Thank you everybody for being here tonight.

And certainly we appreciate everybody that's here from the balcony to the main floor. Thank you for coming. God bless each and every one of you. Let's stand tonight, please, out of respect for God's Word.

There's a lot of ground we have to cover. B. R. Lakin said, blessed is the preacher whose train of thought has a caboose. Well, mine does. And so we've got to get started so we can get finished tonight.

I have a new message that I just put the finishing touches on just a little bit before the service this afternoon. And some things that I've been just a little bit burdened about that I'd like to share with you.

And I hope it'll be a great blessing. I'm going to preach the Bible tonight as I see the Word of God. And I believe it'll be a help to you. Now, I'm very well aware of the fact that in a crowd this size, regardless, you know, there's not a whole lot of people here, but there's quite a few of us.

I'm very well aware of the fact that the subject at hand tonight is a subject that is very controversial. And it is a subject that maybe not everybody is going to agree with me on every point of theology that I preach on tonight.

But I remind you, I'm going to preach the Word of God tonight. I'm not going to preach something that's microwaved and something that I've borrowed from somebody else, but we're going to use the Word of God.

And if anytime in the sermon, not during the sermon, but when the sermon's over, I say something that is against the Word of God, I'll be certainly glad to talk to you about that after the service. There's preachers here tonight, but I'm not looking for any meetings.

As a matter of fact, there's a few I'm trying to get out of, like next week. Just kidding. But the truth of the matter is this. I realize not everybody is going to agree with what I'm going to preach on tonight, but tonight I'm going to preach and I'm going to do my dead level best to stay within the confines of the Word of God.

And so I believe I'll be fair in preaching the Bible and you being fair in seeing if I do. All right. Mark chapter six and verse number one. Mark chapter number six, please, and verse number one. The Bible says,.

And he, that's Jesus, went out from thence and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him. And when the Sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, For whence hath this man these things?

What wisdom is this which he giveth unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Judah, and of Simon?

And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty works, save that he laid his hand upon a few sick folk and healed them.

Verse six,. And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages teaching, and he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits, and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only.

No script, no bread, no money in their purse, but be shod with sandals, and not put on two coats. And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart then, take off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Solomon and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

And they went out and preached that men should repent. And tonight from Mark chapter six and many other portions of Scripture, I preach the simple sermon, the most controversial subject in all of the Bible.

Thank you very much. You may be seated. Let's bow our heads and hearts and pray and ask the Lord to bless our time together tonight. The most controversial subject in all of the Bible. Now, dear Lord Jesus, tonight you know my heart.

I do not in any way, shape or form preach this sermon because it is controversial. I preach it because it's in the Bible and the Spirit of God has asked me to preach it tonight. And so I pray that I would preach it in the right spirit and in the right manner.

And Lord, that You would help my friends, this congregation before me, as they listen to the Word of God. And Lord, I pray for the one tonight that has come to our service, but has never come to the Savior.

I pray You would convict them of the urgency in their heart of receiving the Lord Jesus. And then for God's people tonight, I pray that You would stir us through the Word of God. And Lord, we have already been stirred by the sin.

But even more so than stirring us or continuing to do so, we pray that You would change us tonight through the preaching of the Word of God. Father, I'll be careful to give You the honor, the glory, the praise.

And I want to uplift Jesus Christ tonight because He said Himself, if I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me. And so Lord, tonight use the pages of the Word of God. Burn deep within our hearts, we pray in Jesus' name.

Amen. In 1875, there was a man by the name of Dr. William Booth. William Booth, as you know, started an organization called the Salvation Army. And I thank God that it's still around today. Certainly it's not the fundamental organization that it was at one time, but it still helps a lot of needy people and a lot of homeless folks.

But here's a man that started a rescue mission type of a ministry. He was a man that had compassion. He was a man that had heart. And in 1875, William Booth said this. He said, the danger of the 20th century will be...

Now, obviously, you know, by sake of time and for sake of history, this is the illustration that I give, but we're already past the 20th into the 21st century, if you can believe that. But yet he said the danger of the 20th century will be, number one, politics without God.

Number two, education without the Bible. Number three, happiness without holiness. Number four, heaven without hell. Number five, conversion without conviction. And number six, William Booth said, the danger of the 20th century will be regeneration without repentance.

The Command to Repent in Mark 6

And in Mark 6, Jesus Christ does a very, very controversial thing. He goes back to his hometown. He goes back to the town that he was raised in as a young lad, if you will. He goes back to the town where he was reared in Joseph's house, not his father's house because his father was God, and he said, I am my father one.

But he went back to that town that everybody knew him to be from when he was a little boy and when he was a wee little tank and when he was a preteen and when he was a teenager. And so he goes back, and I'd like to remind you, this is right after Mark chapter 5, where he performed three of the greatest miracles of his ministry.

He cast devils, over a thousand devils, out of a man's body. He healed a lady that had an issue of blood, and he raised a little girl from the dead by saying, and all three of those miracles were performed by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And then in Mark chapter 6, he had the same miracles that in his heart and in his mind that he wanted to perform to those who had seen him grow up. And so he goes back to this town, and he's walking around, and he's wanting to heal the people, and he's wanting to raise the dead, and he's wanting to do all of these miracles.

And the people come to him, and they hear him preaching on the Sabbath day, and they hear him preaching in the synagogue, and they said, where has this man amassed such a wealth of knowledge? He is well beyond his years as far as maturity is concerned, and they do not understand the principle of the God-man.

They merely see him as a prophet. They merely see him as a preacher, as a man, as a healer, as a teacher in the synagogue. And the Bible says, when they seen him, because if you will study your Bible, you will find out that most people in the Bible that served in the temple were over the age of 40 years of age.

And so here is Jesus, and in their estimation, He was what we would consider, or what most people consider me, just a little whippersnapper that doesn't know a whole lot. And so they look at Jesus, and they say, what does this guy know?

So they hear him preach, and they say, where has he amassed this wealth of information? And the Bible says, because of his background, because of his age, and because of the knowledge that he had, they were offended in and at him.

Well, Jesus still wanted to perform a lot of miracles, but you know what your Bible says? They limited him. It's not that he could not, it's that he would not because of their lack of faith. It has the same idea of Psalm 78.

The Bible says that they limited the Holy One of Israel. Now, we don't think about setting limitations on God, and certainly we know that God can do all things, but He would not avail Himself to do the same miracles that He had done in the other towns because the people would not listen to Him.

They would not heed to the message of the Word of God. They would not listen to what He had to say. And so He left that city. And when He left that city, as He was walking out, notice what your Bible says He did.

Mark 6, verse 12. If you look at the end of verse 6, it says, and He went round about the villages teaching. Now, notice, He's leaving town, and He called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

Apostolic Authority and the End of Apostolic Signs

Now, please understand, ladies and gentlemen, Jesus gave His apostles what we consider apostolic power. But I'm going to tell you today why there's no such thing as a prophet, and why there's no such thing as an apostle.

You watch TBN, the rest of them crooks on TV, and they say apostles so-and-so. They say prophets so-and-so. And they talk about picking up rattlesnakes and a bunch of crazy stuff like that. And they talk about doing all of these miracles and drinking poison and speaking in tongues.

Did you know at one time people did have those powers? They were called the apostles. They had apostolic power given to them by God, but the apostles are dead and apostolic power died with them. And we do not have to have those types of signs and wonders.

And I promise you, and I'm glad I don't have to handle a rattlesnake. All I've got to handle is an incorruptible Word of God tonight. And so Jesus went to this town. They wouldn't listen. So He said, fellas, come here, I'll tell you something.

He gave them some power. He said, don't wear two coats, just wear one. He said, just get you some sandals. He said, don't take your sermon notes, get your script. He said, don't take a staff, don't take a book satchel, don't take any food.

Don't worry about packing pimento cheese sandwiches or anything like that. People will take care of you along the way. They were itinerant. Just like Brother Robertson and myself. They traveled from place to place and God's people met their needs as they saw fit.

So Jesus said, I'm going to send you fellows out two by two. I don't want you to go by yourself. I want two of you to be able to preach and pray and knock on doors and this, that and the other. You know the story.

And Jesus said, I want you to go to a town and I want you to preach a particular message. Now, He did not yet give them the message. He just said, I want you to go preach. And He said, when you get there, He said, I want you to preach with all your heart.

I want you to just rear back and preach the Word of God and say, thus saith the Lord. If you've got the power in the pulpit, fine. If you don't have the pulpit, fine. If you preach fast, fine. If you preach slow, fine.

He said, I just want you to go and I want you to preach, thus saith the Lord. And He had not yet given them the message. He just told them to preach. He said, and when you get there, you will preach this message that I'm fixing to give you.

And if they receive you, wonderful, glory, fine, hallelujah, amen. But if they do not. If that individual, if that nation, if that county, if that province, if that church, if you will, if those people will not receive the message that I am about to give you, then you walk to the edge of the town and you stomp off the dust from your feet.

And that will be a symbolization that the judgment of God is going to come upon those people, that there'll be no blessing in their homes, there'll be no blessing on their teenagers, there'll be no blessings in their synagogues, there'll be no blessing on their marriage.

You walk to the edge of town as a man of God and dust off your feet and the judgment of God will fall upon them. And God says, furthermore, as a matter of fact, if that town that I send you to does not heed to the message of the Word of God that I'm fixing to give you, notice what Jesus said would be done to them.

Verse 11,. And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear you when you depart this, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony not for, but notice, against them. Verily I say unto you. That's Jesus saying you can bank on the fact that it's going to come to pass.

It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. Jesus said if that county, if that country, if that province, if those individuals don't listen to what you have to say, shake off the dust from your feet and in the day of judgment, in the judgment of the nations.

And that in the day of judgment, in the last days as we draw to the end of the book of Revelation, God said I will have more patience. I will have more mercy and I will be more tolerable with Sodom and Gomorrah than I will with the nation or the individuals that did not heed to the message that I'm about to give you.

Sodom, Judgment, and the Need for Repentance

Can I remind you what Sodom and Gomorrah was filled with? It was filled with Sodomites, dear neighbor. It was filled with the Romans 1 crowd that did not like to retain God in their knowledge and God gave them over to reprobate minds.

And God sent those angels in there and said Lot, you better get up and tell it out of here. And Lot begged his family to get right and they didn't. He got his wife and his two daughters and they left and she even looked back and the two daughters committed incest.

And so really, only one man basically made it out of the entire city and he walks out and God destroys the whole place. You know why? Because their wickedness came up before the nostrils of God and it stunk to him.

And it was ungodly and it was vile and it was wretched and it was something that made the heart of God break and made the stomach of God turn. And by the way, that sin still upsets our holy God. No matter what the liberals, no matter what the modernists and the democrats say, it's not something you're born with.

It's something you choose and it pulls the pulse and you can be saved from it and such were some of you, but now you're lost. And so Jesus said in the day of judgment, the group, the individual, the nation, the country, the people, the church, if you will, you understand the application, that does not receive this message I'm about to give you.

When they don't receive it, you just go ahead and shake off your feet as a testimony against them. And in the day of judgment, I'll be more tolerable, if you will. I'll have more patience with a bunch of perverts and a nation full of wicked sodomites.

And I will with this nation. What was the message he gave them? Well, please look at verse number 12. And they went out and preached that men should repent. Repentance is the most overlooked and most abused terminology in all of the Word of God.

What Repentance Is Not

Now, let me just, for sake of an outline tonight, write down a few things. I believe this message would be a help if you write some things down. Let me tell you, first of all, some things that repentance is not.

You know, sometimes we have to explain to ourselves what something isn't so we will know what it is. You understand? Let me tell you what repentance is not. Number one, repentance is not religion. You see, repentance is not just dressing right and walking right and looking right and going to church.

For example, there may be a Roman Catholic here tonight. And you know what? You're just as welcome in this revival meeting as any Baptist that's here. But you know what? Being a Roman Catholic is not going to get you to the kingdom of God.

You see, because the Roman Catholics have the idea, if I pray to Mary and fall down and kiss the statue's feet, and if I talk to a priest, and if I count the rosary beads, and if I do enough Hail Mary, and if I do all of these religious things, then surely God understands my heart.

And yes, God does understand your heart, but what you must understand is repentance is not religion because you can be religious and go to hell. Did you know, ladies and gentlemen, if you study the New Testament, and there's much that could be said tonight, and for time's sake, I've got a long ways to go, but did you realize if you study your New Testament Bible, I only realized this last week.

I made this statement in Danville over at Brush Harbor Baptist Church, and we've got some folks from there tonight. But I made this statement, and it was the first time I ever made it. It was the first time I ever realized it.

Did you know that Jesus preached a lot of sermons? He preached some compassionate sermons. He preached some very loving sermons. He preached the Sermon on the Mount to His disciples in Matthew 5, 6, and 7.

And He just took His disciples up into the mountain, and the Bible says when He brought them out of the mountain, there were great multitudes waiting to hear Him preach. Everywhere Jesus went, they wanted to hear Him preach.

But I'm going to be honest with you, Jesus preached some pretty scathing and scolding sermons in His ministry. But you know what I found out last week in my ministry as I was studying the Word of God?

I began to go through the Bible and see all the times that Jesus preached the scolding, scathing message. And you know what? Never one time did He preach that to the drunkard crowd. Every time Jesus lifted His voice and beat the pulpit as it were, every time Jesus preached a message that was strong and straightforward, it was always to the religious crowd.

Because they cared more about the traditions of men than they did the doctrines of the Word of God. And you can be religious, but that doesn't mean you're repentant of your sins. And so, religion is not repentance.

Write this down, number two. Remorse is not repentance. You can be sorry for something you have done and still not be saved by the grace of God. For example, you can get a car and you can run a stoplight and run over a little old lady walking across the street with her dog and got a bag of groceries in her hand and just completely annihilate her.

You could run over her and you could feel bad about that, but that doesn't mean you're going to the kingdom of God because religion is not repentance. And remorse is not repentance. Weeping and crying.

People have the idea, man, if you weep and cry at the altar, then man, if you don't weep and cry, you've never been saved. And sometimes we equate feelings with faith. But I'm not saved by feelings. You know, sometimes I wake up and I don't always feel saved.

But I don't have to feel saved to know I'm saved. I know I'm saved by the grace of God because the Bible says, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I'll be honest with you, I don't always feel married, but I've almost been married for six years.

I could look at you and say, well, you know, I just don't really feel really that married. And you say, well, why don't you feel married? Well, for this reason, for this reason. You know, and I can tell you I don't feel married, but I know I am because I've got the certificate that says May the 25th of 1996.

I believe I got that right. I did. May the 25th of 1996 that I got married. I got a ring on my hand to prove that. I don't always feel married, but I know I am. I've got the record to prove it. And I don't always feel saved, but I know I am because bless God, I got the record to prove it right here.

And repentance is not religion. Repentance is not remorse. It's not feelings. It's not crying. It's not being sorry for your sins. It is more than that. Number three, write this down. Repentance is not reformation.

Repentance is not turning over a new leaf. You know, you can turn over every leaf in the field and still die and go to hell. You can quit smoking. You can quit drinking. You can quit chewing. You can quit fornicating.

You can quit looking at things and listening to things. You can quit all of that and go straight to hell. Because repentance is not reformation. My daddy, he's one of these speakers. He used to be a speaker, but he kind of had some trouble in this, that and the other.

And I've given a whole illustration, but he's one of these speakers or he was for a while. He's still in the program. You know, Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous. Maybe he's in that now. I'm not really that much against it, but I remember I was sitting with him over dinner one day and he was telling me about some kind of stuff.

And that kind of cut my eyes, you know. And I probably shouldn't have. I just kind of rolled my eyes, you know. Just kind of within myself, I thought, oh brother, here we go again. That's all he ever talked about.

And he looked at me and he said, son, he said, what is it that you got against Alcoholics Anonymous? He said, don't you believe in a reformation? I said, oh, I believe in reformation. I said, God reformed my life.

I said, He changed me and did a lot for me. I said, but you know what, daddy? I said, you can go to NA if you want to. I said, you can go to AA if you want to. I said, you can go to AAA. I said, you can go to ABCDEFG if you want to.

But if a person doesn't get saved when they come out of that program, they'll be just as much a drunk and just as much a drug addict as they ever were before they went in. Because reformation is not what changed a person's heart.

And so my daddy said, Greg, he said, what is it that you have against Alcoholics Anonymous? I said, I'll tell you what I got against it. I said, you take this scenario, for example. I said, let's drive down the road.

And I said, you know, if we pass by a bar right now, you'll start salivating all over yourself. I said, man, you'll be slobbering. You'll be thanking yourself. Keep both hands on the steering wheel. I don't need a Budweiser.

I don't need a Bud Light. I don't need a Michelob. I don't need no Middle High Life. I call it low life. I don't need none of that stuff. I don't need no Jim Beam. I don't need no Winspurs lemonade. And I said, every time you drive past a liquor joint, I said, you got to fight the urge to go in that thing.

I said, but every time I drive by a liquor joint, I say, thanks to Calvary, I don't go there anymore. And I said, Daddy, it's not just reformation. I said, reformation doesn't mean that you've been saved.

I said, I don't have to drive by a cigarette machine and say, I want a cigarette. I say, no, I could do the very same things I used to do, but I don't want to do it anymore because God changed my heart.

Repentance is not reformation. But ladies and gentlemen, I want you to understand there is something that repentance is. By the way, for sake of an outline, you also put down repentance is not restitution.

You know, you steal something, you take it back, you know, and you can take back everything in the world. You can take back every bad thing you ever seen, take back every bad thing you ever stole, something like that, you know, throw something from Walmart, you go back and weep and cry, but that don't mean you're going to heaven.

So repentance is not those things. What is repentance? Well, repentance is real simple. It's the age old definition. It's been around for years. And we're going to prove it tonight from the Bible. It is a change of mind that results in a change of your actions.

Did you hear me? It is a change of your mind that results in a change of your actions. You know, it's a sad thing that this is such a controversial debate among fundamentalists. I'd like to remind you, if you roll back the curtain 30 years in our movement, there wasn't one controversy over the issue of repentance.

30 years ago, you didn't have any preachers that disagreed with anybody preaching on repentance. And when a preacher got up and said, turn from your sin and turn to Christ, the whole crowd would throw up their hankies and say, glory to God, hallelujah.

He's exactly right. But you say it nowadays, and you'll lose meeting after meeting after meeting, and you'll lose friends, and you'll start getting ultimatums. And they'll say, well, if you preach for him, you can't preach for me, and blah, blah, blah.

And if you really believe that, and if you really believe that, and they'll give you this whole big storyline, and they wrote 15 umpteen million trillion billion books, if you will, exaggerationally speaking.

They've written all these books on why repentance is not a part of the gospel. You remember Luke chapter 16? There was a man called the rich man. The Bible says he died and went to hell, and in hell he lifted up his eyes, verse 23.

And he said, Abraham, I've got good news for you, pal. He said, I've got five brothers up there, and I can't go to them, but you know what? You can send Lazarus, he can go back from the dead, and he can preach unto them.

And if he goes back and preaches to them, he said, they'll get right. He said, no, no, if they don't hear Moses and the prophets, they ain't going to be persuaded, no one rose from the dead. He said, no, no, you send them up there, and they will repent.

You know, it's a terrible thing that people in hell tonight believe in repentance, and fundamental badness preachers all over the country don't do it. If people in hell preach on the doctrine of repentance and fundamental badness, argue over the doctrine of repentance.

The Command to Repent: John the Baptist and Jesus

I'm going to preach tonight, three things about repentance will be done and go home. Number one, I want you to see the command to repent. It's all over the Bible. The command to repent. You write down four people in your notes tonight.

Number one, John the Baptist preached a message of repentance. You say, well, why don't you talk about Jesus first? Because John the Baptist was the forerunner of Jesus Christ. He was his cousin six months before him, a child of Elizabeth, and the Bible says that he was filled with the Holy Ghost in the womb.

That's one of those things I don't quite understand in the Bible, but I'll tell you this. He came out, and he was a red-hot preacher. Everywhere he went, he didn't have to beg crowds to come hear him preach.

The Bible said all of Jerusalem and all of Judea went out to hear this man called John who was a Baptist. And he would get up in that pulpit, and he would preach, thus saith the Lord. And he would preach the Word of God.

And he didn't get up there, and he wasn't flashy. He didn't have a big microphone system or anything like that. He was a man that wore camel's hair, and he ate locusts and wild honey. Here's a big old bushy-haired, big old-eyed felon who'd get up there, and you know what he said?

You know what his message was? The entire message of his ministry? Matthew 3, verses 1 and 2, In those days came John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of God is at hand.

John the Baptist preached on repentance. And he was the table-setter, if you will, for the ministry of Jesus. Well, number two, write down, Jesus preached on repentance. Because Jesus preached on repentance a lot.

As a matter of fact, in Mark 1, verse 15, Jesus said, Repent and believe the gospel. Why did not Jesus just simply say, believe the gospel? Why did He say, repent and believe the gospel? I'll tell you why.

Because until you change your mind about some things, you won't believe the gospel. Until we have put out of us that which we've learned all of our life, and until we're quickened by the Holy Spirit and see our need of turning, if we never turn, if we don't repent, then we're not even equipped to believe the gospel.

So Jesus said, Repent first and believe the gospel. Basically, they're two sides of the same coin. Repentance and faith are inseparable. You cannot separate the two. You've got to have both for salvation.

And then here in Mark 6, in verse 12, Jesus told him what to do. He told him to go out and preach on repentance. You remember Luke 13? The Bible says two terrible things happened. That Pilate had mingled some blood with some of these martyrs, with some of these people that had died.

And Jesus said in Luke 13, 3, Except you repent, you'll all likewise perish. And then, hey, here's one that really hits close to home. He said, Or on whom the tower of Siloam fell, and slew in them fifteen men.

You know what Jesus said? There was a tragedy there in Jerusalem in that day. There was a big tower that fell down and killed fifteen people. Sound familiar? September the 11th, we had two big ones come down and kill a whole lot more than fifteen.

And Jesus used that tragedy of a tower coming down as a springboard to preach on repentance. He even repeated again in verse number 5, Yea, I say unto you, that except you repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

So Jesus Christ preached on the doctrine of repentance, of turning from sin and turning to Christ. Now, it may be trite to say so, but if it was good enough for Jesus to preach on it, it's definitely good enough for Greg Locke to preach on that for sure.

So John the Baptist preached on the doctrine of repentance. Jesus preached on the doctrine of repentance. And by the way, that was the first message that Jesus ever preached. Matthew chapter 4 and verse 17, From those days Jesus came preaching and sang, Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Paul's Command to Repent

But the Apostle Paul, you write that down, the Apostle Paul preached on the doctrine of repentance. Acts chapter number 17, the Apostle Paul was at his best. It was almost as if the Apostle Paul had just had a supercharge from the Holy Spirit of God.

He jumped up on a rock in a place called Mollus Hill and there was a bunch of educated, so they thought, but really they were uneducated because they served so many different gods that just in case they missed one, they put up a sign that said, To the unknown God, just in case they missed one.

And so Paul used that occasion to preach the Word of God. And he said, That one that you ignorantly worship, Him I declare unto you. And he began to preach them, sayeth the Lord. And I mean, he started all the way back in Genesis through Exodus and Leviticus and Numbers and Deuteronomy.

He preached through the prophets. I mean, the majors and the minors. He preached through the Psalms. But he preached all over the place and he brought them down right to the very end of the sermon. And he said in Acts 17 30, And at the ignorance of these times God hath winked at, but now hath commanded all men everywhere to what?
