January 20, 2019 Sermon Verses Pastor Jeffrey Cranford Ephesians 3:4-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 4 [a] By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight [b] into the mystery of Christ, 5 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets [c] in the Spirit; 6 to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel, 7 of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power. 8 To me, the very least of all [d] saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, 9 and to [e] bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; 10 so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. 1 Chronicles 21:1-2 New American Standard Bible (NASB) Census Brings Pestilence 21 Then Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel. 2 So David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, and bring me word that I may know their number. 2 Corinthians 4:18 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Ephesians 4:7-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ s gift. 8 Therefore [a] it says,
WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN. 9 (Now this expression, He ascended, what [b] does it mean except that He also [c] had descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.) Psalm 68:1-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB) The God of Sinai and of the Sanctuary. For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song. 68 [a] Let God arise, [b] let His enemies be scattered, And [c] let those who hate Him flee before Him. 2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish before God. 3 But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God; Yes, let them rejoice with gladness. 4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name; [d] Lift up a song for Him who rides through the deserts, Whose name is [e] the LORD, and exult before Him. 5 A father of the fatherless and a judge [f] for the widows, Is God in His holy habitation. 6 God [g] makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land. 7 O God, when You went forth before Your people, When You marched through the wilderness, [h] Selah. 8 The earth quaked; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; [i] Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel. 9 You shed abroad a plentiful rain, O God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was [j] parched.
10 Your creatures settled in it; You provided in Your goodness for the poor, O God. 11 The Lord gives the [k] command; The women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host: 12 Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will divide the spoil! 13 [l] When you lie down among the [m] sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold. 14 When the Almighty scattered the kings [n] there, It was snowing in Zalmon. 15 A [o] mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan. 16 Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, At the mountain which God has desired for His abode? Surely the LORD will dwell there forever. 17 The chariots of God are [p] myriads, thousands upon thousands; [q] The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness. 18 You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among men, Even among the rebellious also, that [r] the LORD God may dwell there. Exodus 12:36 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 36 and the LORD had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have their request. Thus they plundered the Egyptians. 1 Peter 3:18-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 18 For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the [a] spirit; 19 in [b] which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 20 who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the [c] water.
Exodus 25:1-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB) Offerings for the Sanctuary 25 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Tell the sons of Israel to [a] raise a [b] contribution for Me; from every man whose heart moves him you shall [c] raise My [d] contribution. 3 This is the [e] contribution which you are to [f] raise from them: gold, silver and bronze, 4 [g] blue, purple and scarlet material, fine linen, goat hair, 5 rams skins dyed red, porpoise skins, acacia wood, 6 oil for lighting, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 7 onyx stones and setting stones for the ephod and for the [h] breastpiece. 8 Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, just so you shall construct it. Acts 1:4-5 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 4 [a] Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for [b] what the Father had promised, Which, He said, you heard of from Me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized [c] with the Holy Spirit [d] not many days from now. Colossians 2:6-15 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so [a] walk in Him, 7 having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established [b] in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing [c] with gratitude. 8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, [d] rather than according to Christ. 9 For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, 10 and in Him you have been made [e] complete, and He is the head [f] over all rule and authority; 11 and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; 12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 When you were dead [g] in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, 14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 When He had [h] disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through [i] Him.
Acts 2:29-36 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 29 [a] Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is [b] with us to this day. 30 And so, because he was a prophet and knew that GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH TO SEAT one [c] OF HIS DESCENDANTS ON HIS THRONE, 31 he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of [d] the Christ, that HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh [e] SUFFER DECAY. 32 This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore having been exalted [f] to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear. 34 For it was not David who ascended into [g] heaven, but he himself says: THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, 35 UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET. 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and [h] Christ this Jesus whom you crucified. Psalm 110 New American Standard Bible (NASB) The LORD Gives Dominion to the King. A Psalm of David. 110 The LORD says to my Lord: Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet. 2 The LORD will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying, Rule in the midst of Your enemies. 3 Your people [a] will volunteer freely in the day of Your [b] power; In [c] holy array, from the womb of the dawn, [d] Your youth are to You as the dew. 4 The LORD has sworn and will not [e] change His mind, You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek. 5 The Lord is at Your right hand; He [f] will shatter kings in the day of His wrath.
6 He will judge among the nations, He [g] will fill them with corpses, He [h] will shatter the [i] chief men over a broad country. 7 He will drink from the brook by the wayside; Therefore He will lift up His head.
