10162022 The Supremacy of Jesus - Phil Robertson

good morning church, good to see you all Christian Lowry, where are you? Come, son, of course, our Scripture reader today, for it pleased God that all his fullness should dwell in him, and through him to reconcile all things to himself, whether they be there or not. the earth or the things in heaven by making peace through his blood shed on the cross thank you Chris I appreciate it I appreciate it very much, thank you very much friend I like the shoes that are swinging uh we are in the book of Colossians and so uh We We dove into this a little bit last week and now we're getting into the

supremacy

of Christ, so we've asked Phil to do this particular lesson.

Phil, come on up brother and let's have a prayer of words, you know. Don't mind me praying for your sermon Dave, I need more, I need more and more. I didn't tell you that every time I preach. I'm thinking about that, Lord, we love you. I thank you for my brother here, you know he loves. You deeply and love to see lost people find the good news of Jesus, so bless him with wisdom and discernment as he shares your word today with power. It's in the name of Jesus we pray the church said okay brother preach the word so I'm sitting there with the dogs by the way I started wearing my suit but it occurred to me I don't have a suit thank you I mean Say what you want, I'm going to read it to you, the

supremacy

of Christ was underway. the board a while ago this is the scary part of the supremacy of Christ just a little bit God is just thank you.

I'm going to receive the Colossians right after reading this to you. God is simply he will return problems to those who bother you. Revenge is coming and giving relief to you who are troubled and to us too this will happen when the Lord Jesus reveals himself from heaven in burning fire with his powerful angels he is no one to mess with he comes not only for the time of revenge saved he will punish To those who do not know God, look around you, look at your culture. Brothers, sisters, just look around you when you don't, if you get up in the morning and you don't know if you are a man or a woman, and if the mirror looked, go into your bathroom and undress. and look in the mirror, if that doesn't help you, that's the way you approach this thing.

It cuts both ways, it will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. I am 76 years old. At 28, Bill Smith told me that he needed to obey the gospel. I said he said, Have you ever done that? I said obey the gospel. What are you talking about? They told me that he had to listen, believe, repent and be baptized. That is. what I did but now at 28 I listen to what I believe what the gospel said I said what is that gospel music Chuck Wagon Gang on the radio said you don't even know what it is I said well enlighten me this is the first time I've heard God became flesh dying on a cross raised from the grave risen from the dead I had never heard that somehow I missed that and boy was it problematic God is going to punish those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of the Lord Jesus will be punished with eternal destructions and excluded from the presence of the Lord of the Majesty of His power on the day He comes to be glorified and His people holy and to be marveled in and among all those.

Those who have believed this include you because you believed that testimony that is Second Thessalonians you come to Colossians this is what I want us all to do. I already did. Go home today Matthew Mark Luke John read the last two chapters of Matthew Mark Luke John it will take you a few minutes just read that when you turn red listen to this read the entire first and second pages of the epistles from the acts at the beginning of the book of Acts read the first two pages don't worry about the rest read the first two pages to get to Romans read the first two pages First Corinthians II read the first two pages it took you minutes it won't take you long you say why you tell us that we should resort to that from time to time?

It tells you who Jesus is. It took me three full pages to read to you who Jesus is. I've never seen anything like it. I kept thinking about it and I write that I'll show you in a minute, but in Colossians look at this. The first thing mentioned is that we hear of your faith in Christ Jesus for all the saints you have already heard of. Listen, that took him, how long did it take him to get to this one, two, three, four, five verses that we've already heard. about in the word of Truth you know the truth the truth has set you free the gospel that has come to you throughout the world this gospel is proclaiming fruit and growing just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it no long ago John, you can get the information in a day.

I got it in about an hour. Bill Smith told me what the gospel was. Jesus died, was buried, rose from the dead. I'm like you can live forever. He said you can live forever. He said it's too good to be true It's too good to be true He said it's probably too good for us but it's true I said how the hell did I miss that I said I'm going to have to check out what you just said about Jesus I have to go home and read that because you have to forgive me preacher but I don't believe you but I'm going to find out if you were telling me the truth or not so I went home and read through the verses from the day you heard it and understood the grace of God and everything that he learned they learned it from a guy called papras so the gospel is explained, they went down just a little bit the Saints in the Kingdom of Light are qualified to share he rescued us from him he is a savior he that he rescued you from the Dominion of the Darkness he brought us into the kingdom of the son he loved make sure you know that see Jesus died was buried rose from the dead Matthew Mark Luke and John the last two chapters he rises from the dead twice two of the two Matthew and Mark said that go out and preach the gospel to the people so that they know and understand it because there are not many people who do not know what the gospel is.

We are here a little about Jesus, you know, but it has to be explained there is the kingdom, repent because the kingdom is near Jesus said it John the Baptist said it the Apostle said it when you get to the Book of Matthew Mark Luke and John you will say, Let's see, oh, the kingdom was now near, but as you get to the book of Acts, it is now here, so what we tell people is to repent because the kingdom is here. I'm a member of it talking to you. that's in the book of Colossians now we come to the text that they gave me to talk about Jesus is the image of the invisible God it starts with this uh, what if he was like a root in dry ground?

You are walking through the Sahara. Deserted series of sand dunes and you look out, it's hot and I mean, it's just sand, not a blade of grass or a tree sticks out anywhere, it's a little green slide that we stay on and sit and count time for Jesus Christ all the time. world and then we hear all these things about things we shouldn't have to worry about, you know, all those unbridled Christians, you know, that Bible thumper and the UPS 11 hillbilly, Bible total, they've cursed me, it's Unfortunately, Jesus is the image of the invisible God. First I'll give you his resume right here and then I'll share a sermon with you.

I haven't been to the sermon, but he is the image of the invisible God. You can see him as the god, the firstborn above all. creation has never been half God half man complete God complete man what who in the world is that by him all things were created that is a lot of things everything by him all things were created and now you are bad than me and you say that I'm a Nut because I bow to the one the writers said everything was created by Him there are many things on planet Earth, including you, he brought you here alive.

I'm talking to you about life and death if you're visiting and you say, "I wonder if I'll ever put my faith in the death of Jesus to take away my sins because I have a lot of them and he didn't have any of them, not one thing." in the sky that he created and in the earth that he created, visible and invisible things like atoms and molecules he just doesn't have any problem like what uh mister atheist uh right before the explosion that happened below and all these things appear well, good night, there's a ball of water, it's a ball of water, it's, it's, it's the Earth, yeah, there's a lot of planets out there there's a lot of water out there they just go boom, you know, and you get all the water you want in it. a planet or how much water they have discovered that in the past planet Earth we had three quarters of water here we have a lot of water, how much water have you found?

Once you went to look at the cosmos with these large telescopes, they said: well, we haven't found it yet? found nothing. I said you haven't found water yet. They said not a drop, what's your problem? surely one would have water, we are working on it, we think you know this planet here, let's get the time, the signs look like it may be some water, they are looking for water because they believe water is what made you and what made me did to me. department in salt water it did me good it has water with air in the back I don't think the water made us I look at the ducks and that color code on them beautiful wooden ducks what department in salt water said water let's make a duck and I want I mean, I want this thing to destroy who's going to make this color, we just take it, they won't even let a guy like me come into the school room and talk about these things against the law to say what I'm saying right now.

You, it's against the law, try it at your school, how are our school systems doing? instead of looking to Jesus Thrones Powers ruling authorities all things were created by Him and for Him Don't mess with Jesus bow down before him he comes before all things that answer the question or what was there before the cosmos arrived here before the strong explosion Mr. Atheist, they say that there was nothing here before the explosion. I said there was nothing here and nothing went boom boom and all this light. I did not know anything. They could do that, they really believed that everything was created by Jesus and for Jesus he is prior to all things.

I can believe before it disappeared and there's the Earth and that ball of water and the earth started coming out of it and all these things started coming on it. and Jesus was there to make sure that everything happened in him, all things are held together, he is the head of the body, the church, he is the beginning and the firstborn from the dead so that in everything he would have supremacy, because God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him and through him to reconcile all things to himself, whether the things of heaven, the things of heaven, by making peace through his shed blood on the cross, we return to the gospel again once you turned away from God, you had not obeyed The gospel Jesus was not number one in your life.

You didn't believe that he came down and died because he was rising from the dead. Somehow you missed it once you were condemned by God. I've been there and so have you. I'm just as sinful as you, it didn't take more than one to make yen, just one, if we started right now, started telling each other our sins, we'll be here for months, well you know it's pretty bad, but let me tell you what I want. You did it once, once you were estranged from God and an enemy in your minds because of your bad behavior, all of us at one time or another have participated in bad behavior, it covers a lot of ground, but now it runs the risk of reconciling you with the physical body of Christ. through death to present you holy in his sight, present me holy in his sight because of the blood he shed, without counting any of your past sins against you, without counting any of your future sins against you, that is a great place to be holy in His eyes. spotless you say you want to tell me when I came to Jesus every mistake I had made was cleansed and never came up again and nothing in the future no sin could knock me out he just says get up keep getting up no Don't do that anymore get up get up that's better than your sins alienate you forever I'm going to play the pawn in a minute that he was the best defense attorney who ever lost a case he'll get you out of here free of accusation now you're God's people you're spotless you're perfect 100 perfect for a sacrifice the Hebrew writer the Hebrew writer said by a sacrifice look how you talk about uh a clean sweep let's see by a sacrifice he has made God has made perfect forever those who are being sanctified when you come to Jesus and die to sin and are buried with him in a pool of water and you go up and the spirit enters your heart and your mind you say: Now I am one of those who have been cleansed I am right now under the covenant of God I am, let's see now ah I am free for me I am holy I am blameless I am free from accusation that is perfect you say perfect how could they with my mistake they do not count you against it get up pray to God that you do not behave like this tomorrow so that we can get to my lesson here is the lesson and I will do it as quickly as I can who It is Jesus, he is your life, he is your life, he gives you life and immortality, without him you are not going to get death, I read it to you in second Thessalonians, he is going to punish everyone who does not know him and does not obey him. gospel you will not leave here alive without it life and immortality the almighty promiseso that you can be seen holy in his eyes without stain free from accusation he promised it is impossible for him to lie for crying out loud he promised I will give you this I will give you a life that no one else can make that cannot touch it creator of everything and everyone you say I wonder how I got what it was that was woven in my mother's womb and that's why Satan wants to run there and kill children while they're in the womb try to kill them try to kill them try to kill what God created a cowardly thing to have your own children murdered surely not, That's how I feel, below, the human race needs to repent and turn to God, creator of everything and everyone, without sin, without errors, never, without errors, none, and you in him, a 12-year-old wonder boy and the big dogs of the teachers of the law and the Pharisees and they said who is that, that woman, that carpenter, I said, that little boy knows a lot about the Bible, they were astonished.

I was thinking about the old people a man-made wonder a wonder a wonder god a miracle worker in the blink of an eye I performed miracles miracle after miracle after miracle that's five for the first 10 or 12 chapters of the Book of Matthew just tell you show how powerful Jesus is, don't mess with him, he is the Alpha and the Omega, he is he and he alone, he is omniscient, he is omnipotent, he is omnipresent everywhere, he is the form, he is the truth, he He is the light, he is the resurrection, Jesus, destroyer of death, full of grace, he fixed it. so if you could be like him, he'll fix it, he fixes it, so we'll be like him.

Sins are not counted against us. King over heaven and earth, that's a lot. He is indestructible, and so are his followers. Did you ever think you would be? indestructible well, you are, you will close your eyes and it's like a momentary dream, you will become 90 years old, maybe you will be 76, like me, suddenly look, yes, your heart stops, yes, JoJo, listen to the news, you don't feel that. oh so and so dies that girl had that woman there she died she died and he died all you do is close your eyes no time passes and you open them and say yippee thank you Lord Jesus indestructible you say oh these verses of the Bible are Verses of the Bible Prophet that is Jesus Jesus the only one on earth let's face it he is the only one on earth he is the one who is good he goes around doing good performing miracles we just look and say good night I know the world mind reader Jesus he is the only one lawgiver, the only judge, don't worry about those you worry about those who kill the minds and those in your body, make sure you don't worry about moments like this, I will raise you from the dead, only the Supreme Being There.

He's in heaven and on earth He's in both places at once He's the epitome of love He's the mystery man They were looking at him like who in the world is that wasn't a more well-known crucified man He was going to save the world I mean, does anyone Maybe he cheated on you and you didn't even know it? He is the best defense lawyer of all time. I'm out of that and here's another one. Let's see, he is the best life changer. He conquered death for all of us. Its alot. he has only canceled the written code oh my god 10 laws and we can't keep them just beat them we can't do it we will know our son Lord I never understood him he forgave us he is the ultimate forgiver he is full of grace he is full of Mercy he is perfect he is the living bread he is the greatest healer that ever lived he is the Redeemer he is the reconciler all the fullness of God is in him he is your guarantee of eternal life he is the greatest servant ever seen or heard of he is the Lord of all he is our high priest he is your seal he is the answer to all your problems the greatest unsurpassable sacrifice he is the great I am he is your savior he is your escape hatch to eternity he is the greatest intercessor of all time He is the form He is the light He is the resurrection He is your brother He is a blood mistake Can you be from the same family? you're like good night and I'll cut it short before I go through all this you should have heard enough Don't mess with Jesus, get down and bow before him every time you read he is the fullness of God I will stop with this he is the light of the world he is He has absolute power over Satan which is necessary because of the way you need someone there He is the manifold wisdom of God You are gentle through faith You can approach God with freedom and confidence He is the greatest forgiver who ever lived He will save you from the guilt of sin and death that you get towards the end Jesus says there is a Lord his name is Jesus Only Faith your trust and faith in his death for you his burial his resurrection, Jesus, the last word above all and I omitted many of them.

You say you're a little excited about this Jesus when he gets it into your head that you're going to get off planet Earth alive and live and live forever. Happy for you and me and for Bill Smith who showed me this about 50 years ago. I'm out of here.
