Pardon the topic, but speaking beating a wife. Was it at one time considered Godly to stone a wife if you discovered she wasn't a virgin? Is this "God breathed" or pointing to Jesus? Deuteronomy 22 Marriage Violations 13 If a man takes a wife and, after sleeping with her, dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,” 15 then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gate proof that she was a virgin. 16 Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels[a] of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives. 20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.
It is both God breathed and it points to Jesus. This passage of scripture when properly contextualized is all a part of the law. It puts down in writing what is and isn't sin. And it shows that the punishment for sin is death. This punishment must be poured out and this where it points to Jesus. Jesus came in and fulfilled the law and also took the punishment for us. And throught faith in his grace he saves us.
@@dansdojodevotional2419 great point, and spot on. If we just rip out one example, like this guy did, then it's easy to make God seem like a misogynistic dictator. You can find examples all throughout the Law to make God seem unfair, if you just take that one law and judge God by it. However, the law called punishment of sins for many things we see everyday now... Death for things that we get slapped on the wrist for. Men and women. This is to show God's standard of holiness, and the level of righteousness required to stand before God. And when we realize that we cannot go an hour without falling short of His standard, we look for another way to do it.... that's where a Savior comes in.
I believe this story points to the Messiah because a couple thousand years later after being entrenched in this strictness of law, a bunch of teachers of THIS LAW brought a woman to Jesus caught in the middle of adultery. As you and other religious leaders of that day demonstrated, she deserved death by stoning. YET, the Messiah who knew the law and is Himself the Word made flesh, He fulfilled it to such a degree that above anyone else, He is allowed to say: “Whoever has not sinned may cast the first stone.” He showed there was a better way than simply following the law in its rules and punishments because Mercy has finally come. Can you imagine how radical that was? Thousands of years of being entrenched in the holiness and law of God, that they finally get introduced to unconditional, sacrificial love! Knowing the law is God-breathed and now Christ-fulfilled should bring us to our knees in exaltation instead of raising a fist against God for being “cruel” because you only know half of the story.
12:50 "strangling the life out of what the Holy Spirit has brought to us" and yet you box the Holy Spirit into the Bible and neglect tradition. 14:00 "they think the book stands alone" so do you. To the extent that you believe the Bible to be the only source of revelation. The Holy Spirit can illuminate any and all on the truths of scriptures, we can not neglect the reality of denominations, people splitting for different interpretations of the word. It is almost as if you need a single interpreter that is itself guided by the Holy Spirit.
"will be place that is serious about the word of god, we're gonna be a biblically serious people" immediately starts talking about a really poor Marvel comparison (that's also one story told by multiple authors), takes 7:30 minutes to "just kinda dive in" and actually read a verse, reads it, then just continues with his own thoughts. Where in the world do we get this idea that it's all about Jesus? that's really bad trinitarian doctrine; the bible is about the triune God, not emphasizing one person of it. The irony at 17:50 is glaring; look at the waywardness of the church in America, how we've strayed and wandered SO FAR away. There may be a few good highlights in this presentation - good comments about the nature of truth, wish there was, idk, a couple verses included that prove that instead of his own statements - but all in all this appears to be more about scratching the ears of young believers and being tasteful/relevant to potential visitors than it is a feeding of the sheep, equipping them for engaging with the world. 24:00 has some good teaching in Hebrews, wish the whole sermon was more like that minute. In the end, this is a motivational speech about getting yourself in the bible... where it should be an exemplification of how to "plumb the depths" of the selected scripture.
Thank you for mentioning dwell in your sermon! I'm dyslexic and have struggled reading/ finding good audio bibles. Seems great so far !
Yes. Truth is outside of you and is fixed. Amen!
Haven't hung out with The Village in a while. It's always a blessing. Thanks be to God for you guys.
The part at 21:10 where he starts talking about not being in self pity. I needed to hear this. Will come back to that part when needed.
This was an absolute beautiful sermon pastor Matt!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you, Matt Chandler, for holding the line, standing fast in God's Word, and being a leader that points people to Jesus, not himself.
God Bless You!

Deuteronomy 22
Marriage Violations
13 If a man takes a wife and, after sleeping with her, dislikes her 14 and
slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman,
but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,” 15 then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gate proof that she was a virgin. 16 Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now
he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a
virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her
parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels[a]
of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man
has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his
wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she
shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of
her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.
