1 Kings 13:11-16. Today we’re going to look into the motive of the unnamed prophet... and the motive of the old lying prophet.
The unnamed prophet ... God tells him, Don't eat, Don't drink, and Don't return the same way you came.
The man of God did all kinds of amazing things. Then he listens to the old lying prophet and violates the commands of God. But... was the younger prophet actually fooled? Would you be suckered in by the line "an angle told me"?
Pastor has been going on for the past many weeks pretending he doesn't know the unnamed prophet's real name. He's now going to keep us in suspense a little longer as he builds his case....
Now... do you honestly expect me to reveal to you what pastor does from here? Where's the fun in that? And... what's my job? That's right; my job is to entice you into listening to pastor Chronister’s sermon. Besides, pastor goes off on a rabbit trail that I couldn't type out for you anyway. At least not and be coherent.
So... Trust me... You're much better off listening to this sermon. But, I will give you a hint. Part of the rabbit trail is Quantum Physics... and "We are on display"... and Luke 16, and Matthew 13.
Okay, another hint. Who is this guy that 1 Kings 12:22 brings up? Naaa, that couldn't be him.
Here’s a question for all you Cliffside listeners… How would you like it if somehow we could get pastor Chronister to agree to video his sermons and put them on our website for you? Next question: How would you like it if we could make his white board magically appear right next to that? We might be able to convince him to do it. Email your answers to pastor and he’ll send them on to me.
