Welcome to He

0:02

restores my soul with Jani

0:05

Ortlund, where you can find

0:05

encouragement for your busy life

0:09

through God's renewing mercy. Hello, everyone. I'm so glad

0:14

you're listening in again on

0:18

this discipleship series. I

0:18

think that you are probably

0:23

drawing to a close of your year

0:23

of discipleship, as I am in my

0:28

group. But keep listening

0:28

through these final few podcasts

0:34

on discipleship so that you'll

0:34

know how to bring your group to

0:39

a close before you dismiss for

0:39

the summer.

0:44

If you are like my group, than

0:44

you are reading through the Old

0:50

Testament right now, probably

0:50

somewhere in Second Chronicles.

0:54

And I want to help you

0:54

understand the Old Testament a

0:59

little bit better, and finish

0:59

our overview of the Old

1:03

Testament in these next two

1:03

podcasts. I believe this

1:08

information will help you

1:08

understand better what you are

1:11

reading and apply it to your own

1:11

life.

1:14

Now leaders, before the meeting

1:14

begins, you want to make copies

1:21

of the Old Testament timeline to

1:21

help your disciples see visually

1:28

what I'm talking about. You can

1:28

find those in Episode 135 from

1:37

December 15, 2021. So pause the

1:37

podcast and go back to that

1:45

episode, which is entitled,

1:45

"What the Old Testament is All

1:49

About," from December 15, 2021,

1:49

and make copies for your group

1:57

of the Old Testament timeline.

2:00

If you plan to continue using

2:00

weekly calendars to pray for one

2:04

another, make sure you have

2:04

copies of those as well,

2:09

leaders. Now during this time together, I

2:12

want you to start with

2:15

accountability. For

2:15

accountability, discuss with

2:20

your disciples how their quiet

2:20

times are going. What about

2:23

their verses of meditation and

2:23

their memory verses? I think it

2:30

would be wise for you to pause

2:30

the podcast and have each member

2:35

of the group recite her verses

2:35

that she's memorizing, tell you

2:40

a little bit about what she's

2:40

learning, how it's been helpful,

2:43

what struggles she has;

2:43

encourage each other and hold

2:46

each other accountable for this

2:46

part of your assignment.

2:53

Now that you've finished with

2:53

accountability, let's head into

2:57

our teaching section for today.

2:57

Today, we want to continue our

3:02

Old Testament survey—that

3:02

overview, that bird's eye view

3:07

of the Old Testament—and we're

3:07

going to finish this overview

3:11

next week. Hopefully over the

3:11

summer months, you will all keep

3:17

reading through your Old

3:17

Testament, even when you're not

3:21

meeting and holding each other

3:21

accountable week to week. Maybe

3:25

you can set up a text where you

3:25

check in once a week and let

3:29

each other know how it's going.

3:29

It always helps to have someone

3:35

read along with you when you're

3:35

in a reading program like this.

3:40

Do you remember the basic theme

3:40

of the Old Testament, which was

3:44

stated weeks ago as we began

3:44

this? God is imposing His reign

3:51

of peace and righteousness upon

3:51

this rebellious world through

3:56

the agency of Abraham's seed,

3:56

and He will not be defeated. As

4:03

He establishes this rule, man is

4:03

continually rebelling, but God

4:09

is continually saving. Let me

4:09

repeat that once more. This is

4:15

our basic theme of the Old

4:15

Testament. You can see it in

4:18

God is imposing His

4:18

reign of peace and righteousness

4:23

upon this rebellious world

4:23

through the agency of Abraham's

4:27

seed, and He will not be

4:27

defeated. As He establishes this

4:33

rule, man is continually

4:33

rebelling, but God is

4:38

continually saving man.

4:42

Now we have studied in previous

4:42

episodes, how God formed the

4:47

nation of Israel through his

4:47

miraculous acquisition of a

4:51

people, his intentional

4:51

revelation of His laws for this

4:55

people to follow as a kingdom of

4:55

priests, and a this people's

5:00

conquest of the Promised Land

5:00

(which you've read about in

5:05

Joshua). We also have spent some

5:05

time talking about the cycle. We

5:11

see in the book of Judges, which

5:11

went on for over 350 years. Do

5:18

you remember that cycle we

5:18

talked about?

5:22

Well, the priestly rule of the

5:22

judges proves ineffective,

5:29

climaxing with the Ark being

5:29

captured in1 Samuel 4. Do you

5:34

remember that last verse that we

5:34

spoke of from Judges 21:25: “In

5:42

those days there was no king in

5:42

Israel. Everyone did what was

5:47

right in his own eyes.”

5:51

Why did God judges people?

5:51

Because they sinned.

5:56

Continually. They kept on

5:56

sinning. Psalm 78:54-64 talks

6:02

about putting God to the test,

6:02

rebelling against the Most High.

6:07

The Psalmist tells us in Psalm

6:07

78 that his people disobeyed.

6:13

They were disloyal. They were

6:13

faithless, they were unreliable.

6:18

And so God judged them.

6:22

Now why did they rebel? Why were

6:22

they disloyal and faithless and

6:26

unreliable? Well, I see three

6:26

reasons.

6:31

First of all, they hadn't been

6:31

taught the Word of God (Judges

6:34

10). Secondly, a new generation when

6:35

they rose up, didn't want to

6:39

fight. They were hesitant to

6:39

break down their opponents

6:43

altars. We see this in Judges

6:43

3:1-2. But let me tell you there

6:51

is great value in engaging

6:51

yourself in God's battles. Let's

6:56

not resist that. And then thirdly, we see from

6:58

Judges 5:16-17 that they put

7:05

material prosperity before

7:05

fighting for God.

7:12

Therefore, God kindly and

7:12

mercifully has a new act of

7:39

salvation. So today, I want to talk about

7:41

Israel's greatest period in

7:46

history, the United Monarchy,

7:46

perhaps you can find that on

7:52

your Bible timeline that you

7:52

leaders copied off for you.

7:57

Let's begin by talking about two

7:57

women who changed Israel's

8:02

course. God is going to

8:02

establish a kingship, and two

8:08

women are responsible for

8:08

turning around the nation: Ruth

8:12

and Hannah. I love this. Why is

8:12

Ruth in the canon? Why is it

8:19

included in the Bible? Because

8:19

of the very last word: David. If

8:28

you turn to the end of the book

8:28

of Ruth, you will see that Boaz

8:34

is David's great-grandfather.

8:34

This story of Ruth tells us how

8:41

Israel's greatest king came to

8:41

be. We can learn much about how

8:48

God works in this book of Ruth.

8:48

But a major theme we will see is

8:53

that God rewards those who

8:53

choose Him, those who want him,

8:59

and God bypasses those who are

8:59

uncommitted. As God accomplishes

9:06

His purpose on earth, He rewards

9:06

the faithful and He bypasses the

9:13

uncommitted. Now how do I see this? Well,

9:14

look at Ruth 1:14-16. Turn there

9:24

now. Here we can see the

9:24

contrast between Orpah and Ruth.

9:32

14-16, we see that

9:32

Orpah kissed and then she

9:40

departed. She gave her

9:40

mother-in-law kiss and then

9:44

left. Ruth chose God and stayed

9:44

with her mother-in-law and

9:52

became part of God's plan to

9:52

rescue his people through the

9:55

Eternal Kinsmen Redeemer.

10:00

We also see the contrast between

10:00

the nearer kinsmen and Boaz. We

10:06

5-6. Now the

10:06

nearer kinsmen, was, well, I

10:17

think he was a little

10:17

self-centered. He was more

10:20

interested in his own money than

10:20

in doing the right thing. He

10:26

says, “I don't want to redeem

10:26

Ruth, lest I impair my own

10:31

inheritance.” Boaz chose to

10:31

honor God, and do the right

10:37

thing by redeeming Ruth.

10:41

What about Hannah? Oh, this was

10:41

such a bleak time in Israel's

10:48

history. It's the time of the

10:48

judges where there were idols

10:54

everywhere, and everyone was

10:54

doing what was right in his own

10:57

eyes. How does God enter into

10:57

that? He listens to a barren

11:03

woman's cries. This is the

11:03

turning point of Israel's

11:10

history. First Samuel chapter

11:10

one, turn there right now as a

11:15

group. Israel needed a great

11:15

leader to rebuild the social and

11:22

religious unity of the nation,

11:22

and to set up the monarchy.

11:27

Hannah would be the one to open

11:27

the door to Israel's greatness.

11:32

I love that. Now, Hannah's problem seems

11:33

almost trivial in light of all

11:37

that Israel is going through. A

11:37

barren woman? But that is the

11:43

whole beauty of this account.

11:43

God cares for Hannah in her

11:48

agony. When she turns to him, he

11:48

meets her. In fact, he was the

11:54

one who allowed that pain, which

11:54

finally draws her to Him. We

12:00

5, that it

12:00

was the Lord who had closed her

12:06

womb. Look there in 1 Samuel

12:06

1:5. Do you see it? “The Lord

12:13

had closed her womb.” Now we see Hannah's prayer.

12:17

Let's talk about it, both of her

12:21

prayers, really. What can we

12:21

learn about God? What can we

12:25

learn about prayer through this

12:25

turning point in Israel's

12:29

history?

12:32

7, that

12:32

this had been going on for

12:38

years. We can see from this that

12:38

our prayers are not so much

12:47

trying to get God to do what we

12:47

want, but they are preparing us

13:01

for what God is going to do. If

13:01

God is waiting to answer one of

13:07

your prayers, it's not because

13:07

you haven't tried hard enough to

13:11

get God to do what you want him

13:11

to do. He's using this waiting

13:16

period to prepare you for what

13:16

he's going to do next.

13:22

And I love to see in Hannah's

13:22

prayer here that our motives

13:27

don't always have to be pure.

13:27

Hannah was tired of her

13:32

humiliation, she wanted a son.

13:32

That's okay to bring your

13:38

prayers to God. Just keep

13:38

bringing them to him.

13:43

Thirdly, I believe Hannah's

13:43

prayers show us that when we

13:49

pray for a long time over a hard

13:49

situation, those prayers can

13:56

change our perspective. Look at

13:56

the way she prays in 1 Samuel

14:03

1-10. Her prayer is recorded

14:03

here. Now, she prays for a

14:14

kingdom and a king. Look at 1

14:14

Samuel 2:10.

14:19

“The adversaries of the Lord

14:19

shall be broken to pieces;

14:24

against them he will thunder in

14:24

heaven. The Lord will judge the

14:29

ends of the earth; he will give

14:29

strength to his king and exalt

14:34

the horn of his anointed.”

14:38

And her son Samuel was going to

14:38

anoint Israel's first three

14:44

kings, and two of the greatest

14:44

kings in Israel.

14:50

Samuel is the last judge. Let's

14:50

turn in our Bibles as a group to

14:57

4-9.

15:05

“Then all the elders of Israel

15:05

gathered together and came to

15:11

Samuel at Ramah and said to him,

15:11

“Behold, you are old and your

15:25

sons do not walk in your ways.

15:25

Now appoint for us a king to

15:30

judge us like all the nations.”

15:30

But the thing displeased Samuel

15:35

when they said, “Give us a king

15:35

to judge us.” And Samuel prayed

15:40

to the Lord. And the Lord said

15:40

to Samuel, “Obey the voice of

15:45

the people in all that they say

15:45

to you, for they have not

15:49

rejected you, but they have

15:49

rejected me from being king over

15:54

them. According to all the deeds

15:54

that they have done, from the

15:58

day I brought them up out of

15:58

Egypt even to this day,

16:02

forsaking me and serving other

16:02

gods, so they are also doing to

16:07

you. Now then, obey their voice;

16:07

only you shall solemnly warn

16:13

them and show them the ways of

16:13

the king who shall reign over

16:18

them.” Well, as you can see there, in

16:20

verse seven, Israel rejected God

16:26

as their king. God is patient

16:26

with us. He lets us try it our

16:32

own way. He gives us warnings,

16:32

which you can find in 1 Samuel

16:38

10 and following where Samuel

16:38

warns against kings. God is not

16:46

capricious. That's why our Bible

16:46

study is so important. We can

16:51

learn to do it God's way.

16:55

Now I want to teach you for just

16:55

a minute about how to evaluate

17:01

the kings of Israel. Way back in

17:01

Deuteronomy 17:14-20, God talked

17:10

about when the children of

17:10

Israel would ask for a king and

17:15

he talked to them about what it

17:15

would be like to have a king.

17:20

Their kings were to be chosen by

17:20

God. We see this in 1 Samuel

17:25

12, where David is chosen by

17:25

God, we won't take time to turn

17:30

there right now. They were to be

17:30

chosen by God through one of the

17:35

prophets. Secondly, they were to have a

17:37

gift or charisma to be a king.

17:42

18, we read this,

17:50

“One of the young men answered,

17:50

“Behold, I have seen a son of

17:54

Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is

17:54

skillful in playing, a man of

18:00

valor, a man of war, prudent in

18:00

speech, and a man of good

18:06

presence, and the Lord is with

18:06

him.”

18:12

Do you see that gift or charisma

18:12

to be king? He had a skill, he

18:18

possessed leadership qualities

18:18

he was talented, virtuous, he

18:23

had a warrior mentality, a

18:23

willingness to fight the Lord's

18:26

battles, and he was

18:26

impressive—the presence of God

18:31

was on him. So how do we evaluate the kings

18:33

of Israel? They were chosen by

18:37

God, they had a gift or charisma

18:37

to be king, and then finally

18:43

(and this was most important of

18:43

all), they had a servant

18:47

mentality. A servant was the

18:47

highest title God could give to

18:54

his earthly king. And we see

18:54

this through different scripture

19:02

passages. First of all, the

19:02

servant king would be obedient.

19:08

He would subordinate himself to

19:08

the priests, to the Word of God,

19:13

the Torah and the prophets. He

19:13

would be a wise man who could

19:17

interpret historical situations

19:17

so that he could rule the

19:21

country politically and

19:21

militarily. We see this as God

19:26

talks about his king in

19:26

Deuteronomy 17:18-20. We're not

19:32

going to turn there right now.

19:32

But you can read that if you

19:35

want. First of all the king

19:35

would have a civil servant

19:42

mentality by being obedient. Next, he would have the

19:45

motivation of a servant. He

19:49

would have the mentality of

19:49

serving his master, not himself.

19:54

I think it's important to see

19:54

this so I'm going to ask you to

19:58

23 where

19:58

we'll see this in David. Saul

20:15

realizes in this passage that

20:15

David had the opportunity to

20:19

kill him, as Saul had tried to

20:19

kill David, and Saul is saying,

20:27

“I've sinned.” Look at 1 Samuel

20:27

26:22-24:

20:31

“And David answered and said,

20:31

“Here is the spear, O king! Let

20:36

one of the young men come over

20:36

and take it. The Lord rewards

20:40

every man for his righteousness

20:40

and his faithfulness, for the

20:44

Lord gave you into my hand

20:44

today, and I would not put out

20:47

my hand against the Lord's

20:47

anointed. Behold, as your life

20:54

was precious this day in my

20:54

sight, so may my life be

20:58

precious in the sight of the

20:58

Lord, and may he deliver me out

21:02

of all tribulation.” You see, David had a mentality

21:05

of serving God before serving

21:11

himself. He was obedient. He

21:11

served his master, God, and he

21:17

was dependent on God. In

21:17

Deuteronomy 17 the king was told

21:23

not to build up his army, or his

21:23

treasury, or his house. That's

21:31

16-17.

21:35

This is how we are to evaluate

21:35

the kings of Israel as we read

21:40

were

21:40

they chosen by God? Did they

21:44

have charisma, or a gifting to

21:44

be king? And did they have the

21:49

servant mentality of obedience,

21:49

and have a godly motivation to

21:54

serve God and not themselves

21:54

depending on him? Think of those

22:00

ways to evaluate the kings as

22:00

you're reading through the Old

22:04

Testament. It will help you to

22:04

judge the kings accordingly.

22:10

Now, I want to take just a

22:10

minute or two and talk about the

22:15

wisdom literature that you're

22:15

going to be reading through this

22:18

summer as you read through your

22:18

Bible. Remember the Five Books

22:23

of the wisdom literature? Job,

22:23

Psalms, Proverbs, Song of

22:28

Solomon, and Ecclesiastes.

22:33

Job is a book on the universal

22:33

problem of suffering. It's

22:40

really worth taking in and

22:40

seeing how God deals with

22:45

suffering. You will see that in

22:45

suffering the main question God

22:52

answers is not “Why?” but “Who”.

22:52

We want to know why—“Why are you

22:58

letting this suffering happen,

22:58

God?”—and God says, “I want you

23:04

to understand who. I want you to

23:04

come and understand more of me.”

23:09

Next, the book of Psalms is the

23:09

hymnbook of the temple. There

23:14

are three different kinds of

23:14

Psalms: laments—petitions; the

23:19

crying out to God—and then

23:19

psalms of thanksgiving, and

23:24

psalms of praise. Oh, we enjoy

23:24

the Psalms, don't we? We benefit

23:29

so much for them. Enjoy the book

23:29

of Psalms. If you're in my Bible

23:35

reading plan, you'll be reading

23:35

Psalms all during the month of

23:39

June. And then you come to Proverbs.

23:40

Proverbs is a book of maxims

23:46

about four different kinds of

23:46

people: the wise, the naive, the

23:52

foolish, and the scoffer. We can

23:52

learn a lot from Proverbs. These

23:58

are not promises, they're

23:58

maxims; they show us how life

24:03

often works. Then God gives us Ecclesiastes.

24:05

Now, Ecclesiastes is just a

24:12

sermon. The writer is an

24:12

apologist, like Francis

24:16

Schaeffer. He forces us to

24:16

re-evaluate our lives so that we

24:22

can attach significance to that

24:22

which is truly significant.

24:28

Finally, in the wisdom

24:28

literature, is the Song of

24:33

Songs, or some Bibles list it as

24:33

the “Song of Solomon.” Now, let

24:41

me tell you, I believe firmly

24:41

that the Song of Solomon is not

24:48

about our relationship to

24:48

Christ. Some Bible interpreters

24:53

interpret this book that way. I

24:53

do not because the Bible never

25:00

pictures Christ as a sexual

25:00

partner. This is a book that

25:06

shows us that men are called to

25:06

be men and women are called to

25:13

be women, and we rejoice in

25:13

this; we can enjoy this.

25:21

So these five books, remember,

25:21

are called “The Wisdom

25:25

Literature.” They're right there

25:25

in the middle of the Bible.

25:30

Enjoy reading them and gain

25:30

wisdom from them.

25:35

Now there's one more thing I

25:35

want to teach on, before I end

25:40

my teaching time today, and

25:40

that's the temple. I think it

25:46

would be very helpful if you

25:46

have a study Bible to pause the

25:50

podcast, and look up a picture

25:50

of the temple so you'll know

25:55

what I'm talking about as we go

25:55

through this. Go ahead, pause

25:59

the podcast and find a study

25:59

Bible or a picture of Solomon's

26:05

temple online and look at it as

26:05

we talk about it.

26:11

There are three great kings

26:11

during this period, which we're

26:15

calling the United Monarchy.

26:15

They're Saul, David, and

26:21

Solomon. Solomon's reign was one

26:21

of great prosperity and peace,

26:29

and he built the temple, the

26:29

most famous building in all of

26:34

the Bible. Now, temples for the ancients

26:35

were not buildings into which

26:40

people came to meet God. But for

26:40

them, they were what we might

26:45

call “God houses”—buildings, so

26:45

beautifully made and kept, that

26:52

when priests offered proper

26:52

sacrifices there, God would be

26:57

pleased and would want to come

26:57

to his house and answer their

27:01

prayers. Solomon's temple had two rooms,

27:03

and then it had side chambers.

27:09

You can see if you're looking at

27:09

a picture of the temple, these

27:12

rooms. The first room was called

27:12

the Holy Place. It was 60 feet

27:19

long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet

27:19

high (very high!). The second

27:29

room was called the Holy of

27:29

Holies, and it was a 30 foot

27:35

cube. Isn't that interesting? It

27:35

was a cube. The side chambers

27:41

were three stories high, and

27:41

they were used for storage and

27:45

treasury vaults. Now, the temple was

27:47

distinguished from every other

27:51

religious building of its day in

27:51

that it had absolutely no idols.

28:00

All the interior lines lead to

28:00

the Ark of the Covenant in which

28:06

were placed—do you remember?—the

28:06

two tablets that Moses put in

28:11

there. What were written on the

28:11

tablets? The 10 Commandments.

28:16

The lid of the Ark of the

28:16

Covenant was called the mercy

28:20

seat. At the heart of the temple

28:20

was the Word of God, covered by

28:27

the mercy seat. Oh, I love that.

28:31

Solomon, now was the last king

28:31

before the kingdom divides. What

28:38

happened after Solomon? Why did

28:38

the kingdom divide? Well, I

28:45

believe it's because Solomon was

28:45

divided. He was divided in four

28:52

his

28:52

obedience, his building program,

28:56

in his love, and in his faith.

28:56

Let's talk about that. Solomon

29:01

was divided in his obedience. He

29:01

multiplied armies, He multiplied

29:09

his wives, He multiplied his

29:09

money. He was divided in his

29:15

building program. He had seven

29:15

years for the temple, and he

29:19

spent 13 years for his own

29:19

house. He was divided in his

29:26

1-3.

29:26

This shows us how he is divided

29:39

“Now King Solomon loved many

29:39

foreign women, along with the

29:49

Moabite,

29:49

Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and

29:55

Hittite women, from the nations

29:55

concerning which the Lord had

30:00

said to the people of Israel,

30:00

“You shall not enter into

30:03

marriage with them, neither

30:03

shall they with you, for surely

30:07

they will turn away your heart

30:07

after their gods.” Solomon clung

30:13

to these in love. He had 700

30:13

wives, who were princesses, and

30:20

300 concubines. And his wives

30:20

turned away his heart.”

30:26

Oh, my Solomon was divided in

30:26

his love: God versus his wives.

30:35

He was also divided in his

30:35

faith. Look at 1 Kings 11:4-8:

30:46

“For when Solomon was old his

30:46

wives turned away his heart

30:54

after other gods, and his heart

30:54

was not wholly true to the Lord

30:58

his God, as was the heart of

30:58

David his father. For Solomon

31:04

went after Ashtoreth the goddess

31:04

of the Sidonians, and after

31:10

Milcom the abomination of the

31:10

Ammonites. So Solomon did what

31:16

was evil in the sight of the

31:16

Lord and did not wholly follow

31:20

the Lord, as David his father

31:20

had done. Then Solomon built a

31:24

high place for Chemosh the

31:24

abomination of Moab, and for

31:30

Molech the abomination of the

31:30

Ammonites, on the mountain east

31:36

of Jerusalem. And so he did for

31:36

all his foreign wives, who made

31:41

offerings and sacrificed to

31:41

their gods.”

31:46

Do you see how he was divided in

31:46

his faith? He was divided in his

31:51

obedience in his building

31:51

program, in His love, in his

31:56

faith. Therefore, Solomon leaves

31:56

behind a divided kingdom.

32:03

Socially they were divided—there

32:03

were the very rich and the very

32:07

poor—and religiously, he built

32:07

the high places.

32:13

Let me ask us all, what

32:13

divisions do we see in our

32:18

hearts in our lives? Are our

32:18

hearts wholehearted, undivided,

32:25

toward the Lord? Do our lives

32:25

show a single purpose? Or do we

32:33

somehow show divisiveness in our

32:33

own hearts toward God and toward

32:40

others? Oh, let's be women who

32:40

are wholeheartedly devoted to

32:46

God. Now, I want you to take a brief

32:48

break a five minute break, and

32:52

then come back. All right now leaders for the

32:56

second part of your discipleship

32:59

group, I want you to choose one

32:59

of your ladies to share about

33:04

her biography. Give her 20

33:04

minutes to share and discuss it

33:08

together. And then take time to

33:08

share your prayer requests and

33:13

decide how you will pray for

33:13

each other this week. Are you

33:16

still sharing your weekly

33:16

calendars for prayer needs? If

33:20

so, pass those out and pray for

33:20

each other, and then give your

33:25

disciples an appropriate

33:25

assignment requiring their quiet

33:31

times and their Bible

33:31

memorization and praying for one

33:34

another. Make sure you know

33:34

who's going to give her

33:38

biography report next week. And

33:38

then close by singing or saying

33:44

your blessing over each other

33:44

from Numbers 6:24-26. May the

33:53

Lord restore your souls as you

33:53

meet together this week. God

33:58

bless you.
