00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:03.270
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.270 --> 00:00:06.510
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:08.520
My name is Rick Renner
4
00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:11.700
and I'm in lower Ephesus, very near to
5
00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:14.610
what was the slave market in this city.
6
00:00:14.610 --> 00:00:16.350
This is not exactly the slave market,
7
00:00:16.350 --> 00:00:17.850
but it was very near here,
8
00:00:17.850 --> 00:00:19.920
and the slave market was monumental.
9
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.020
It was huge. In fact, it was one
10
00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:25.530
of the largest slave markets
in the entire Roman empire.
11
00:00:25.530 --> 00:00:28.950
People came here to buy
slaves, to sell slaves.
12
00:00:28.950 --> 00:00:33.180
Slavery was a very nauseating,
disgusting thing, a place
13
00:00:33.180 --> 00:00:34.890
where people were treated like garbage.
14
00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:39.690
They were trafficked and
they were sold into slavery.
15
00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:41.940
The word marketplace that is used
16
00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:45.180
to describe this slave market
is the Greek word agora,
17
00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:47.640
which really is just
the word for a market.
18
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:49.290
But from this word, agora,
19
00:00:49.290 --> 00:00:53.370
the Apostle Paul developed
the concept of redemption,
20
00:00:53.370 --> 00:00:56.070
and he developed it while
he was based here in the
21
00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:57.270
city of Ephesus.
22
00:00:57.270 --> 00:00:59.340
If you read the book of Ephesians, it's filled
23
00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:03.570
with the word agoridzo, which
is translated, redemption.
24
00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:06.240
It's a term that he borrowed
from the slave market.
25
00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:07.980
So you have to understand the slave market
26
00:01:07.980 --> 00:01:09.270
and what happened there
27
00:01:09.270 --> 00:01:12.960
to know why Paul chose this
word to describe redemption.
28
00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:16.920
The agora, the market, is where the slaves were sold.
29
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.680
The word, agoridzo, means to come into that market
30
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:21.630
and to buy a slave.
31
00:01:21.630 --> 00:01:24.570
When you connect it to the word x - exagoridzo,
32
00:01:24.570 --> 00:01:27.240
which is often used in the
New Testament, it means
33
00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:30.390
to buy a slave out of slavery.
34
00:01:30.390 --> 00:01:32.850
And now Paul uses this concept to tell us
35
00:01:32.850 --> 00:01:34.860
what Jesus did for us.
36
00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:38.280
When Jesus came into the
world, Jesus came into a world
37
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.800
where human beings were spiritual slaves.
38
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:43.350
It was Satan's slave market
39
00:01:43.350 --> 00:01:45.720
where he was bartering
human beings and trafficking
40
00:01:45.720 --> 00:01:48.660
and human beings and abusing human beings.
41
00:01:48.660 --> 00:01:52.710
And Jesus paid the price
of his own blood in order
42
00:01:52.710 --> 00:01:56.010
to purchase us out of that market
43
00:01:56.010 --> 00:02:00.900
and to set us free. Agoridzo, from the word agora,
44
00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:04.590
the word marketplace, which Paul primarily developed
45
00:02:04.590 --> 00:02:07.020
by being an Ephesus near the slave market
46
00:02:07.020 --> 00:02:08.430
that was very near to here.
47
00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:13.230
Today I'm gonna talk to
you about redemption.
48
00:02:13.230 --> 00:02:16.440
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
49
00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:19.200
and your mind: where the word is
50
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:21.960
the anchor in uncertain times
51
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.260
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
52
00:02:25.260 --> 00:02:26.700
We keep it simple,
53
00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:31.260
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
54
00:02:32.130 --> 00:02:34.050
a love that emboldens,
55
00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:37.320
and a mission that touches the world.
56
00:02:39.660 --> 00:02:41.190
Let's join Rick Renner,
57
00:02:43.110 --> 00:02:45.630
As I told you in the introduction to today's program,
58
00:02:45.630 --> 00:02:48.750
today I'm gonna talk to you
about the world of slavery
59
00:02:48.750 --> 00:02:52.320
and where we get the word redemption.
60
00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:54.300
This is gonna be so
enlightening for you today,
61
00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:57.240
and you're gonna find out a
lot about your redemption.
62
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:01.360
My friend Jesus paid
the price to redeem you.
63
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.790
Do you know what that
means, to be redeemed?
64
00:03:03.790 --> 00:03:08.020
You need to know. The Bible tells us in Psalm 107:2
65
00:03:08.020 --> 00:03:11.800
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
66
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.730
whom the Lord has redeemed from the hand
67
00:03:15.730 --> 00:03:18.910
of the enemy; you've been redeemed,
68
00:03:18.910 --> 00:03:21.370
you need to say, I'm the
redeemed of the Lord.
69
00:03:21.370 --> 00:03:23.530
And you need to know what
it means when the Bible says
70
00:03:23.530 --> 00:03:26.530
you've been redeemed out
of the hand of the enemy.
71
00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:28.780
And that's what I'm gonna
talk to you about today.
72
00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:31.000
But I want you to have the whole series,
73
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.600
which is called, Resting In Our Redemption.
74
00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:35.800
Please order this.
75
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:40.800
You need to understand what
redemption purchased for you.
76
00:03:40.810 --> 00:03:42.910
And it comes with a study guide.
77
00:03:42.910 --> 00:03:45.370
And when you read the study
guide, which by the way,
78
00:03:45.370 --> 00:03:47.920
it's filled with all the
points, all the principles,
79
00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:51.070
all the Greek word, all the
history in these programs,
80
00:03:51.070 --> 00:03:52.330
it's all in the study guide.
81
00:03:52.330 --> 00:03:54.640
When you read it and you see it
82
00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:57.580
or you hear it, you really
get this teaching down
83
00:03:57.580 --> 00:03:59.260
deep inside you.
84
00:03:59.260 --> 00:04:03.400
And we're also offering you right now my book called, Dress
85
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.180
to Kill: A Biblical approach to spiritual warfare and armor.
86
00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:09.190
But the reason we're offering you this book
87
00:04:09.190 --> 00:04:10.360
with this series is
88
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:14.080
because there's a whole chapter in this book called, Resting
89
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.690
in Our Redemption.
90
00:04:16.690 --> 00:04:20.710
You need to know what
redemption purchased for you.
91
00:04:20.710 --> 00:04:24.340
Jesus intends for you to
live a life of freedom.
92
00:04:24.340 --> 00:04:27.100
You can rest in your redemption.
93
00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:29.560
So please order yours today
94
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.690
and remember that if you need
prayer, we're here for you.
95
00:04:31.690 --> 00:04:34.540
And we would love to put
our faith together with you
96
00:04:34.540 --> 00:04:36.580
for whatever it is that you're dealing
97
00:04:36.580 --> 00:04:37.960
with in life right now.
98
00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:40.150
Just send us an email or give us a call.
99
00:04:40.150 --> 00:04:42.580
The moment we hear from
you, we're gonna begin
100
00:04:42.580 --> 00:04:43.900
to really pray with you.
101
00:04:43.900 --> 00:04:47.860
We believe Jeremiah 33:3 it says,
102
00:04:47.860 --> 00:04:51.310
call into me and I'll show
you great and mighty things.
103
00:04:51.310 --> 00:04:53.920
We'll call out to God with you in faith
104
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.160
and God will move in your life.
105
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.100
So let us know how to pray.
He reach for your Bible.
106
00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:01.180
And today we're going
107
00:05:01.180 --> 00:05:04.720
to see the word redemption
in the New Testament.
108
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.000
There are actually four
words for redemption.
109
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.160
Today we're going to begin with word No.1,
110
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:10.780
the Greek word agoradzo.
111
00:05:10.780 --> 00:05:13.900
There's actually four. First, there's the word, agoradzo.
112
00:05:13.900 --> 00:05:15.460
That's what we're going to see today.
113
00:05:15.460 --> 00:05:17.800
Tomorrow we're gonna see the word, exagoradzo.
114
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:19.180
It's very important.
115
00:05:19.180 --> 00:05:21.940
On Thursday we're going to see the word, lutroo.
116
00:05:21.940 --> 00:05:25.900
And then on Friday we're gonna see the word, apolutrosis.
117
00:05:25.900 --> 00:05:29.440
All of these Greek words
are borrowed from the world
118
00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:33.850
of slavery, and they're all
translated as the word redeem
119
00:05:33.850 --> 00:05:37.150
or redemption in the New Testament.
120
00:05:37.150 --> 00:05:39.340
Wow, this is gonna be so powerful
121
00:05:39.340 --> 00:05:40.870
that he reach for your Bible.
122
00:05:40.870 --> 00:05:43.600
And today we're going to begin in Ephesians 1:
123
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:44.830
7.
124
00:05:44.830 --> 00:05:48.190
And in Ephesians 1:7, the apostle Paul said,
125
00:05:48.190 --> 00:05:52.510
In whom we have redemption through his blood.
126
00:05:52.510 --> 00:05:56.840
So our redemption was purchased with the blood of Jesus.
127
00:05:56.840 --> 00:05:58.640
That's what this verse says.
128
00:05:58.640 --> 00:06:03.080
That was the price required
for our redemption.
129
00:06:03.080 --> 00:06:06.800
But when you go to 1 Corinthians 6:20,
130
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.550
the apostle Paul says this - For you are bought
131
00:06:10.550 --> 00:06:11.930
with a price.
132
00:06:11.930 --> 00:06:13.550
The price was the blood of Jesus.
133
00:06:13.550 --> 00:06:15.680
But this word bought is very important.
134
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.390
It is from the Greek word, agora.
135
00:06:17.390 --> 00:06:20.210
The word agora is the word for the marketplace,
136
00:06:20.210 --> 00:06:22.910 line:15%
but here it is the word agoradzo,
137
00:06:22.910 --> 00:06:24.968 line:15%
not the word, agora - marketplace,
138
00:06:24.968 --> 00:06:28.376
but agoradzo: agoradzo describes the slave market,
139
00:06:28.376 --> 00:06:29.976
not just a market,
140
00:06:29.976 --> 00:06:31.550
but the slave market.
141
00:06:31.550 --> 00:06:32.840
And here it is translated,
142
00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:35.870
bought: it can also be translated redeemed.
143
00:06:35.870 --> 00:06:37.320
But listen to this; this word, bought,
144
00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:38.861
the Greek word agoradzo
145
00:06:38.861 --> 00:06:41.960
means to purchase in the marketplace.
146
00:06:41.960 --> 00:06:46.960
It denoted the purchase of a
slave out of the slave market:
147
00:06:46.970 --> 00:06:51.260
to transfer ownership from a seller to a buyer,
148
00:06:51.260 --> 00:06:54.710
and it can be translated
to redeem or to buy.
149
00:06:54.710 --> 00:06:58.010
And here it is translated as the word, bought,
150
00:06:58.010 --> 00:07:01.700
in 1 Corinthians 6:20.
151
00:07:01.700 --> 00:07:05.630
And here it is used to
describe the slave market,
152
00:07:05.630 --> 00:07:07.130
and it's where we get the word, bought
153
00:07:07.130 --> 00:07:10.550
or where we get the word, redeem or redemption.
154
00:07:10.550 --> 00:07:13.730
The slave market of the
Roman world was a dreadful
155
00:07:13.730 --> 00:07:15.350
and deplorable place.
156
00:07:15.350 --> 00:07:17.990
Now I wanna read to you just
a little bit from my book,
157
00:07:17.990 --> 00:07:20.990
which is called - A Light in Darkness.
158
00:07:20.990 --> 00:07:22.940
If you don't have - A Light in Darkness, this is a book
159
00:07:22.940 --> 00:07:24.140
that you need to have in your home.
160
00:07:24.140 --> 00:07:27.440
It is like an encyclopedia of 1st Century life
161
00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:29.210
for the New Testament Church.
162
00:07:29.210 --> 00:07:32.330
This will literally walk
you into the New Testament
163
00:07:32.330 --> 00:07:34.160
and fill in all the blanks for you.
164
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.920
We'll show you how they
lived, what they dealt with,
165
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.430
what were their challenges,
what society was like,
166
00:07:40.430 --> 00:07:43.550
why certain verses in the New
Testament, say what they say.
167
00:07:43.550 --> 00:07:46.880
It just causes the Bible to come to life.
168
00:07:46.880 --> 00:07:50.750
But today I wanna read a few verses about slavery,
169
00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:52.880
and you're going to be quite amazed.
170
00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:55.520
And I'm gonna speak to you specifically about the city
171
00:07:55.520 --> 00:07:58.130
of Ephesus where there was a very large slave market
172
00:07:58.130 --> 00:08:02.270
and where Paul really developed this concept of redemption.
173
00:08:02.270 --> 00:08:04.490
Now, listen to this. 1st Century,
174
00:08:04.490 --> 00:08:07.430
Ephesus had a growing population.
175
00:08:07.430 --> 00:08:08.480
A large part
176
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:12.320
of the growing population
was the slave community.
177
00:08:12.320 --> 00:08:15.230
Now let me go on now, listen to this.
178
00:08:15.230 --> 00:08:16.820
There were two different categories
179
00:08:16.820 --> 00:08:19.760
of slaves in the Roman world:
180
00:08:19.760 --> 00:08:22.970
public slaves and private slaves.
181
00:08:22.970 --> 00:08:25.640
Public slaves were owned by the state
182
00:08:25.640 --> 00:08:27.470
and were used in great numbers
183
00:08:27.470 --> 00:08:30.140
to assist in the massive building projects
184
00:08:30.140 --> 00:08:33.470
that were being constructed
all over the Roman Empire.
185
00:08:33.470 --> 00:08:37.760
But private slaves were
owned by private individuals
186
00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:39.590
or by private families,
187
00:08:39.590 --> 00:08:44.360
and generally possessed less
freedom than public slaves.
188
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.870
Slavery was such a central
part of Roman society
189
00:08:47.870 --> 00:08:52.100
that slaves could be found in
almost every sphere of life.
190
00:08:52.100 --> 00:08:55.920
Roman slaves were either born into slavery
191
00:08:55.920 --> 00:09:00.450
or became slaves due to a
variety of circumstances.
192
00:09:00.450 --> 00:09:04.440
Military conquests
brought a constant stream
193
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.770
of new slaves to stand
on the auction blocks
194
00:09:07.770 --> 00:09:09.360
of Roman slave markets.
195
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:14.310
And such was the case for the
slave market in Ephesus, one
196
00:09:14.310 --> 00:09:16.890
of the largest in the entire Roman Empire
197
00:09:16.890 --> 00:09:18.780
during the 1st Century.
198
00:09:18.780 --> 00:09:20.700
Now listen very carefully.
I'm sorry that I'm reading
199
00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:22.890
so much, but I want
you to really get this.
200
00:09:22.890 --> 00:09:25.950
Please listen. Roman slave markets
201
00:09:27.270 --> 00:09:28.290
were disgusting
202
00:09:28.290 --> 00:09:29.580
and deplorable places
203
00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:33.420
where human beings were paraded in front of potential buyers
204
00:09:33.420 --> 00:09:37.110
and then put on auction blocks to be sold
205
00:09:37.110 --> 00:09:39.060
to the highest bidder.
206
00:09:39.060 --> 00:09:41.460
But before this buying, selling,
207
00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:44.100
and trading of human beings commenced,
208
00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:48.180
the buyers were permitted
to inspect the merchandise.
209
00:09:48.180 --> 00:09:50.700
Isn't that disgusting? But that's a fact.
210
00:09:50.700 --> 00:09:54.660
For instance, a slave's
value was largely determined
211
00:09:54.660 --> 00:09:57.630
by the condition of his teeth.
212
00:09:57.630 --> 00:09:59.040
If he had good teeth,
213
00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:01.350
he was probably in good
physical condition, and
214
00:10:01.350 --> 00:10:03.870
therefore he was more expensive.
215
00:10:03.870 --> 00:10:06.600
If his teeth were rotten,
he could be purchased
216
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.100
for a lesser price.
217
00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:11.230
Therefore, a potential buyer
would usually shove back a
218
00:10:11.230 --> 00:10:13.590
slave's head force, open his mouth
219
00:10:13.590 --> 00:10:16.710
and expect his teeth to
see if they were decayed
220
00:10:16.710 --> 00:10:19.110
or in fairly good shape.
221
00:10:19.110 --> 00:10:21.030
If a slave was going
222
00:10:21.030 --> 00:10:24.390
to be used in menial work
requiring a great deal
223
00:10:24.390 --> 00:10:28.230
of physical abuse, then
potential buyers were allowed
224
00:10:28.230 --> 00:10:32.370
to spit in the slave's faces, slap them,
225
00:10:32.370 --> 00:10:34.560
and even curse at them to see
226
00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:36.870
how much abuse the slave could endure.
227
00:10:36.870 --> 00:10:41.430
If a slave could swallow
his pride, grit his teeth,
228
00:10:41.430 --> 00:10:44.790
and hold his temper during
this humiliating abuse,
229
00:10:44.790 --> 00:10:47.160
then it was assumed he could be used
230
00:10:47.160 --> 00:10:50.670
for hard manual labor
without giving his new owner
231
00:10:50.670 --> 00:10:52.050
a lot of trouble.
232
00:10:52.050 --> 00:10:55.110
Once a slave had been purchased,
233
00:10:55.110 --> 00:10:58.080
he was considered the legal property
234
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.240
of his master.
235
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:04.200
Did you hear that? He was the
legal property of his master.
236
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.020
And in the Roman world,
237
00:11:07.020 --> 00:11:10.320
a slave owner could do anything he wished to do
238
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:11.880
with his slaves.
239
00:11:11.880 --> 00:11:14.490
He could abuse them, molest them,
240
00:11:14.490 --> 00:11:17.460
or even kill them if he wished to do so.
241
00:11:17.460 --> 00:11:21.090
Since slaves were considered
a master's property,
242
00:11:21.090 --> 00:11:24.420
the master could also sell
them, lend them out to others,
243
00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:27.690
or even run them to other
people who needed a slave.
244
00:11:27.690 --> 00:11:30.960
And slaves in the Roman
Empire were often whipped
245
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.140
and treated with cruelty.
246
00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:37.860
It has been suggested that
the slave population in Asia
247
00:11:37.860 --> 00:11:41.970
where Ephesus was, was greater
in number than in any part
248
00:11:41.970 --> 00:11:43.620
of the Roman Empire.
249
00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:46.380
It was simply filled with slaves.
250
00:11:46.380 --> 00:11:50.820
For example, if Ephesus had
a population of 250,000,
251
00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:52.960
which is what historians believe,
252
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:57.850
then it probably had 60,000 slaves.
253
00:11:57.850 --> 00:12:01.180
So slavery was a very
central part of life;
254
00:12:01.180 --> 00:12:02.290
not only in Ephesus,
255
00:12:02.290 --> 00:12:04.720
but also in Rome, also in Corinth
256
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.160
where there was a very big slave market
257
00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:07.960
and all over the Roman Empire.
258
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.320
But this idea of slavery was very central.
259
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.090
Everyone had to deal with it in life.
260
00:12:13.090 --> 00:12:17.890
And many people in the church
were slaves. They were slaves.
261
00:12:17.890 --> 00:12:20.680
But now Paul writes to
the Corinthians, he says,
262
00:12:20.680 --> 00:12:24.400
you were bought with a price
and he borrows from them
263
00:12:24.400 --> 00:12:27.058
this word, bought, the Greek word, agoradzo,
264
00:12:27.058 --> 00:12:29.399
to buy a slave out
265
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:30.520
of the marketplace.
266
00:12:30.520 --> 00:12:34.570
Now, listen careful; according to the thinking of the day,
267
00:12:34.570 --> 00:12:37.690
a slave's only purpose was
268
00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:40.210
to serve the demands of his owner.
269
00:12:40.210 --> 00:12:42.370
With all of this in mind,
270
00:12:42.370 --> 00:12:44.770
we can see the Holy Spirit
has told us something very
271
00:12:44.770 --> 00:12:46.720
important about this word, agoradzo,
272
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.944
which is translated, bought,
273
00:12:48.944 --> 00:12:50.740
or translated is the word redeem
274
00:12:50.740 --> 00:12:53.260
or the Greek word for redemption.
275
00:12:53.260 --> 00:12:56.530
When Jesus came into the world,
276
00:12:56.530 --> 00:13:01.210
the world itself had become a global slave
277
00:13:01.210 --> 00:13:04.240
market where Satan
gripped the hearts of men
278
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:08.380
and filled their natures with
violence and destruction.
279
00:13:08.380 --> 00:13:10.240
And with each generation
280
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:14.410
after Adam, spiritual death
drove people of all nations,
281
00:13:14.410 --> 00:13:17.080
tribes and ethnic groups deeper and deeper
282
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.390
and deeper into slavery
283
00:13:19.390 --> 00:13:22.330
and into this worldwide depravity.
284
00:13:22.330 --> 00:13:26.590
So when Jesus was born into the world nearly 2000 years ago,
285
00:13:26.590 --> 00:13:30.760
he came into a world that was completely lost,
286
00:13:30.760 --> 00:13:33.820
completely taken captive
in Satan's slave market;
287
00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:37.540
it was a world incomplete captivity.
288
00:13:37.540 --> 00:13:39.850
Through Adam's disobedience,
289
00:13:39.850 --> 00:13:43.840
spiritual death seized the nature of mankind,
290
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.773
but the word, agoradzo, translated redemption,
291
00:13:46.773 --> 00:13:48.323
tells us when Jesus
292
00:13:48.323 --> 00:13:53.230
came into the world, he came
into disgusting, nauseating,
293
00:13:53.230 --> 00:13:54.940
spiritual slave market
294
00:13:54.940 --> 00:13:58.180
where human beings live their
entire lives on this earth
295
00:13:58.180 --> 00:13:59.710
as slaves to Satan
296
00:13:59.710 --> 00:14:03.550
and to the negative effects of sin.
297
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.390
And that is why Paul said in Romans 7:14,
298
00:14:07.390 --> 00:14:10.420
that we were sold under sin.
299
00:14:10.420 --> 00:14:13.660
That word sold os is borrowed
from the slave market,
300
00:14:13.660 --> 00:14:17.350
a Greek word which describes
a product for purchase.
301
00:14:17.350 --> 00:14:20.830
But here it pictures a slave
being transferred into the
302
00:14:20.830 --> 00:14:23.110
ownership of a new master.
303
00:14:23.110 --> 00:14:26.230
It literally describes
a transfer of property,
304
00:14:26.230 --> 00:14:30.760
which means mankind had
been sold under sin.
305
00:14:30.760 --> 00:14:33.670
Mankind had been
transferred from the hands
306
00:14:33.670 --> 00:14:36.070
of God into the hands of a new owner.
307
00:14:36.070 --> 00:14:37.930
The new owner was Satan himself.
308
00:14:37.930 --> 00:14:42.760
He possessed total ownership
of mankind until Jesus came
309
00:14:42.760 --> 00:14:46.870
and he paid the price for our redemption.
310
00:14:46.870 --> 00:14:50.930
Say - Amen. Like slaves in the marketplace,
311
00:14:50.930 --> 00:14:54.770
we were helpless as Satan
slapped our lives around,
312
00:14:54.770 --> 00:14:57.110
hitting us, kicking us, spitting on us,
313
00:14:57.110 --> 00:14:59.600
abusing us in every way he possibly could.
314
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:02.780
Our slave owner who was Satan, tried
315
00:15:02.780 --> 00:15:06.560
to damage our...image, tried to damage our souls
316
00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:09.020
and our bodies with sins and vices.
317
00:15:09.020 --> 00:15:11.540
He tried to mar us emotionally.
318
00:15:11.540 --> 00:15:15.350
And when he was finished
using one form of bondage
319
00:15:15.350 --> 00:15:18.200
and death on us, then he would
place us back on the trading
320
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:19.940
block to be auctioned off again.
321
00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:22.910
And another form of
bondage would overtake us
322
00:15:22.910 --> 00:15:26.030
and begin to make its
destructive marks on us.
323
00:15:26.030 --> 00:15:29.630
We were passed from one
bondage to another bondage
324
00:15:29.630 --> 00:15:32.240
and a never ending cycle of bondage.
325
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:35.510
And each day we lived,
whether we were aware of it
326
00:15:35.510 --> 00:15:40.010
or not, we were being sold deeper
327
00:15:40.010 --> 00:15:43.010
and deeper and deeper, lock, stock
328
00:15:43.010 --> 00:15:45.230
and barrel from the inside
out, from the beginning
329
00:15:45.230 --> 00:15:49.670
to the end, into spiritual slavery.
330
00:15:49.670 --> 00:15:54.670
This is what the Bible teaches
us when it says we were sold
331
00:15:54.710 --> 00:15:56.390
under sin.
332
00:15:56.390 --> 00:16:00.230
This is why Paul tells us in Romans 6:17
333
00:16:00.230 --> 00:16:03.380
and 20, we were the servants of sin.
334
00:16:03.380 --> 00:16:05.600
That word servant, the Greek word doulos..
335
00:16:07.280 --> 00:16:09.620
The word, doulos, is the most abject term
336
00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:12.680
for a slave in the entire New Testament.
337
00:16:12.680 --> 00:16:16.280
It depicts one that is sold into slavery,
338
00:16:16.280 --> 00:16:21.280
a perpetual slave for life: one bound
339
00:16:21.290 --> 00:16:23.270
to do the bidding of his owner:
340
00:16:23.270 --> 00:16:27.560
a slave whose principle task
was to fulfill the desires
341
00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:29.810
of his master for the rest of his life:
342
00:16:29.810 --> 00:16:31.550
one whose existence was
343
00:16:31.550 --> 00:16:36.140
to serve us his master in whatever way his master demanded:
344
00:16:36.140 --> 00:16:40.280
one who was swallowed up in the will of someone else.
345
00:16:40.280 --> 00:16:43.250
And by using this word, doulos, here translate
346
00:16:43.250 --> 00:16:44.780
as the word servant,
347
00:16:44.780 --> 00:16:49.340
it tells us we were swallowed
up in the will of Satan
348
00:16:49.340 --> 00:16:53.600
before we were redeemed. We may have thought
349
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.620
that we were in charge:
350
00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:57.560
we may have thought that we were calling the shots in our
351
00:16:57.560 --> 00:16:59.120
lives, but in reality,
352
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:03.350
the Bible teaches we were
abject slaves to Satan
353
00:17:03.350 --> 00:17:04.640
and to sin,
354
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.100
and our destinies were being orchestrated
355
00:17:07.100 --> 00:17:11.540
by a diabolical spirit
that wanted to destroy us.
356
00:17:11.540 --> 00:17:15.380
Slavery to the devil was so deep seated
357
00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:18.560
that our natures became
filled with rebellion
358
00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:20.390
and the gulf became us
359
00:17:20.390 --> 00:17:25.130
and God became so vast that
we're told in Colossians 1:21
360
00:17:25.130 --> 00:17:30.130
that we became alienated
and enemies against God.
361
00:17:30.230 --> 00:17:33.650
That was our condition
362
00:17:33.650 --> 00:17:35.570
before Jesus touched us,
363
00:17:35.570 --> 00:17:39.800
and Jesus totally set us free.
364
00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:43.130
My dear friend, I was a
member of the slave market.
365
00:17:43.130 --> 00:17:44.900
You were a member of the slave market.
366
00:17:44.900 --> 00:17:46.280
You know, today it's very popular
367
00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:48.260
to talk about human trafficking.
368
00:17:48.260 --> 00:17:50.910
Well, the truth is, the entire
world is being trafficked
369
00:17:50.910 --> 00:17:52.650
today by the devil himself.
370
00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:56.040
If they don't know Jesus Christ, they are a slave to sin,
371
00:17:56.040 --> 00:17:58.110
and the devil is their master.
372
00:17:58.110 --> 00:18:02.220
And it was into this death
permeated, demonically,
373
00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:03.870
energized world
374
00:18:03.870 --> 00:18:07.890
where all the human kind
was being auctioned off
375
00:18:07.890 --> 00:18:11.400
by the devil into various
kinds of slavery and bondage.
376
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:13.080
It was into this mass
377
00:18:13.080 --> 00:18:17.670
that Jesus came 2000 years ago,
378
00:18:17.670 --> 00:18:21.570
God sent his own son
right into the very middle
379
00:18:21.570 --> 00:18:25.290
of Satan's slave market with one purpose:
380
00:18:25.290 --> 00:18:27.390
to pay whatever price was required
381
00:18:27.390 --> 00:18:31.380
to secure man's deliverance from bondage
382
00:18:31.380 --> 00:18:35.340
to Satan once and for all.
383
00:18:36.210 --> 00:18:38.370
And the word bought and
the word redemption,
384
00:18:38.370 --> 00:18:42.300
and the word redeemed, translated from the word, agorazo,
385
00:18:42.300 --> 00:18:46.740
describes this horrible,
deplorable, abject slavery
386
00:18:46.740 --> 00:18:49.740
to Satan in Satan's slave market
387
00:18:49.740 --> 00:18:52.200
where we all used to live.
388
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.410
That's where we had our
being before the grace of God
389
00:18:55.410 --> 00:18:57.420
and the blood of Jesus touched us.
390
00:18:57.420 --> 00:19:00.840
But thank God we don't live there anymore
391
00:19:00.840 --> 00:19:04.320
because we've been bought with a price.
392
00:19:04.320 --> 00:19:08.100
That's what we saw today in 1 Corinthians 6:
393
00:19:08.100 --> 00:19:13.080
20. Again, it says, for you are bought with a price.
394
00:19:14.490 --> 00:19:18.600
The price was the blood of Jesus. Jesus was the buyer.
395
00:19:18.600 --> 00:19:22.560
He came into this slave market
and said, I want that slave.
396
00:19:22.560 --> 00:19:26.820
I'll pay whatever price has to
be paid. Just name the price.
397
00:19:26.820 --> 00:19:28.890
The price named was his blood.
398
00:19:28.890 --> 00:19:31.740
Jesus gave his blood, he
put his blood on the table.
399
00:19:31.740 --> 00:19:35.880
He paid whatever he had
to pay to purchase us out
400
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:38.400
of Satan's slave market.
401
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:40.020
And my friends we're not members of
402
00:19:40.020 --> 00:19:41.820
that slave market anymore.
403
00:19:41.820 --> 00:19:43.980
We've been bought with a price.
404
00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:46.710
Again, that word bought the Greek word, agoradzo,
405
00:19:46.710 --> 00:19:51.390
depicts Jesus purchasing us with his own blood.
406
00:19:51.390 --> 00:19:54.030
He bought us out of that mess.
407
00:19:54.030 --> 00:19:58.007
And his intention was
not just to buy us, oh,
408
00:19:58.007 --> 00:19:59.550
but to set us free.
409
00:19:59.550 --> 00:20:01.680
And that leads to the next
word, which we're going
410
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:04.160
to be seeing in tomorrow's program,
411
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.159
the Greek word, exagoridzo. The word, agoridzo,
412
00:20:07.159 --> 00:20:08.234
means to buy out
413
00:20:08.234 --> 00:20:09.930
of the slave marketplace.
414
00:20:09.930 --> 00:20:14.610
But the word, exagoridzo, means to buy in order to set free
415
00:20:14.610 --> 00:20:18.990
and in order to permanently
liberate, which means the work
416
00:20:18.990 --> 00:20:23.250
of redemption is not a bandaid, it's something permanent.
417
00:20:23.250 --> 00:20:26.040
It is a final work that
God has done in our life.
418
00:20:26.040 --> 00:20:27.900
And when we call Jesus Lord
419
00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:30.090
and the blood of Jesus
is applied to our lives
420
00:20:30.090 --> 00:20:32.100
and we're stamped with the Holy Spirit,
421
00:20:32.100 --> 00:20:34.740
we are permanently set free,
422
00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:37.620
delivered from this horrible slave market
423
00:20:37.620 --> 00:20:39.540
where we've lived all of our lives,
424
00:20:39.540 --> 00:20:43.410
and Jesus looses us into a brand new liberated,
425
00:20:43.410 --> 00:20:46.290
redeemed life.
426
00:20:46.290 --> 00:20:48.790
That's amazing. Now, if you continue
427
00:20:48.790 --> 00:20:52.240
to read in 1 Corinthians 6:20, it says,
428
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:53.470
For you're bought with a price,
429
00:20:53.470 --> 00:20:57.130
therefore glorify God in your body.
430
00:20:57.130 --> 00:20:59.500
Your body belongs to the Lord.
431
00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:02.530
Your mind belongs to the Lord.
You're no longer your own.
432
00:21:02.530 --> 00:21:04.420
You've been bought with a price.
433
00:21:04.420 --> 00:21:06.970
Jesus bought you out of that mess.
434
00:21:06.970 --> 00:21:09.850
And now sickness does
not belong in your body.
435
00:21:09.850 --> 00:21:11.980
Your body belongs to the Lord.
436
00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:14.170
A lack of peace does
not belong in your mind.
437
00:21:14.170 --> 00:21:17.950
Your mind belongs to the
Lord. You belong to the Lord.
438
00:21:17.950 --> 00:21:20.590
Ownership has been transferred to Jesus.
439
00:21:20.590 --> 00:21:22.390
You now belong to Jesus.
440
00:21:22.390 --> 00:21:24.370
And that's why Paul continues to say,
441
00:21:24.370 --> 00:21:27.010
therefore, glorify God in your body
442
00:21:27.010 --> 00:21:30.730
and in your spirit, which are God's. At one time you belong
443
00:21:30.730 --> 00:21:31.750
to the devil, but my friend,
444
00:21:31.750 --> 00:21:33.640
you do not belong to him anymore.
445
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.430
Jesus paid the price - agoradzo -
446
00:21:36.430 --> 00:21:40.240
came into this nauseating slave market.
447
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:41.535
He gave his own life,
448
00:21:41.535 --> 00:21:43.510
he gave his own blood on the cross
449
00:21:43.510 --> 00:21:47.890
and purchased our redemption
to buy us out of that mess.
450
00:21:47.890 --> 00:21:52.360
And now it is God's intention
that we live in his goodness,
451
00:21:52.360 --> 00:21:53.680
that we live as his children.
452
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:55.630
We've been translated out of the kingdom
453
00:21:55.630 --> 00:21:58.120
of darkness into the
kingdom of his dear son,
454
00:21:58.120 --> 00:22:01.510
where darkness is not to have
any influence in our lives.
455
00:22:01.510 --> 00:22:05.260
Any of that means no sickness,
no poverty, no brokenness,
456
00:22:05.260 --> 00:22:06.610
none of that belongs to us.
457
00:22:06.610 --> 00:22:09.550
We're in a new place
transferred into the hands
458
00:22:09.550 --> 00:22:12.370
of a new owner whose name is Jesus.
459
00:22:12.370 --> 00:22:14.890
Amen. I'll be back in just a moment
460
00:22:14.890 --> 00:22:16.600
and I want to pray for you.
461
00:22:16.600 --> 00:22:20.710
The Bible says, let the
redeemed of the Lord say so,
462
00:22:20.710 --> 00:22:22.060
but do you really know what it means
463
00:22:22.060 --> 00:22:25.000
to be redeemed? In the in-depth, 5-part series,
464
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.650

Rick Renner unlocks the historical meanings
466
00:22:28.870 --> 00:22:30.430
behind the word redemption
467
00:22:30.430 --> 00:22:32.380
as it is used in the New Testament.
468
00:22:32.380 --> 00:22:35.620
You'll learn that your redemption is powerful, so powerful
469
00:22:35.620 --> 00:22:37.570
that you'll realize
you really need to know
470
00:22:37.570 --> 00:22:39.670
what it means to be redeemed.
471
00:22:39.670 --> 00:22:43.390

472
00:22:43.390 --> 00:22:45.400
battles may still rage in your life

474

of Satan's slave market:
475
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:52.690
How Jesus permanently purchased you out
476
00:22:52.690 --> 00:22:57.690
of spiritual slavery: What price Jesus paid to liberate you:
477
00:22:58.090 --> 00:23:02.200

00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:03.790

496
00:23:47.270 --> 00:23:49.610
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner
497
00:23:49.610 --> 00:23:54.320
and I'm standing just outside
the editorial department
498
00:23:54.320 --> 00:23:56.060
in the Tulsa headquarters building.
499
00:23:56.060 --> 00:23:59.900
You have eight people that
work just in editorial
500
00:23:59.900 --> 00:24:03.080
because these fingers are typing a lot
501
00:24:03.080 --> 00:24:04.910
of information and revelation.
502
00:24:04.910 --> 00:24:06.920
God spoke to me years ago
503
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:10.880
and said he would speak through my fingers if I would write,
504
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:12.440
and I've been writing ever since.
505
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:16.070
And just outside editorial, we
have several key scriptures.
506
00:24:16.070 --> 00:24:18.950
Here we have 2 Timothy 3:16 and 17;
507
00:24:18.950 --> 00:24:21.290
All scripture, it's given by inspiration
508
00:24:21.290 --> 00:24:24.830
of God in is profitable for
doctrine, reproof, correction,
509
00:24:24.830 --> 00:24:26.570
instruction in righteousness.
510
00:24:26.570 --> 00:24:28.100
I really believe that.
511
00:24:28.100 --> 00:24:31.040
Next to that, we have Ecclesiastes 8:4,
512
00:24:31.040 --> 00:24:33.020
you've heard this before; Where the word
513
00:24:33.020 --> 00:24:35.840
of a king is there is power.
514
00:24:35.840 --> 00:24:38.900
And next there's a sign, the prophetic word which God gave
515
00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:40.370
to me in 1978;
516
00:24:40.370 --> 00:24:43.820
Write, write, write and I'll prosper what you write.
517
00:24:43.820 --> 00:24:46.370
And I've been writing ever since.
518
00:24:46.370 --> 00:24:49.700
This is a very important
part of our ministry
519
00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:53.990
because we send published revelation
520
00:24:53.990 --> 00:24:57.920
information, all kinds
of material to the ends
521
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.690
of the earth.
522
00:24:59.690 --> 00:25:02.330
And you're a part of it
because you're a partner.
523
00:25:02.330 --> 00:25:05.930
You know, we've recently just finished 70%
524
00:25:05.930 --> 00:25:08.390
of our Ministry Expansion Project
525
00:25:08.390 --> 00:25:10.370
now 30% remains.
526
00:25:10.370 --> 00:25:13.040
If you're part of the team,
I wanna say thank you.
527
00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:14.570
If you're not a part of the team
528
00:25:14.570 --> 00:25:16.940
to help us retire the
debt on this building
529
00:25:16.940 --> 00:25:18.530
and the whole project,
530
00:25:18.530 --> 00:25:20.750
would you please become part of the team?
531
00:25:20.750 --> 00:25:24.260
We wanna release all those
funds so we can redirect them
532
00:25:24.260 --> 00:25:27.530
to take more teaching of the
Bible to the ends of the earth
533
00:25:27.530 --> 00:25:29.900
where people are crying out, God,
534
00:25:29.900 --> 00:25:32.540
please send me teaching that I can trust.
535
00:25:32.540 --> 00:25:36.080
Please pray about becoming
a part of our giving team.
536
00:25:41.300 --> 00:25:44.390
I've had such a good time to
you talking about redemption,
537
00:25:44.390 --> 00:25:47.150
the price Jesus paid to redeem us out
538
00:25:47.150 --> 00:25:49.220
of Satan's slave market.
539
00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:51.770
My friends, we are redeemed.
540
00:25:51.770 --> 00:25:55.100
That's why Psalm 107:2 says, Let the redeemed
541
00:25:55.100 --> 00:25:57.170
of the Lord say so.
542
00:25:57.170 --> 00:25:59.720
We need to rejoice in
what Jesus did for us
543
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:03.230
because he redeemed us out of the hand
544
00:26:03.230 --> 00:26:05.570
of the enemy.
545
00:26:05.570 --> 00:26:08.120
Oh - hey, order the whole series.
546
00:26:08.120 --> 00:26:11.090
It's called Resting In Our Redemption.
547
00:26:11.090 --> 00:26:13.010
You need to really get this in you.
548
00:26:13.010 --> 00:26:15.350
You need to hear it and hear
it or see it and see it.
549
00:26:15.350 --> 00:26:17.960
And it comes with a study
guide so you can read it,
550
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:19.880
you can see it, you can hear it.
551
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.940
Really get this in you
what Jesus did for you.
552
00:26:22.940 --> 00:26:26.630
He paid the price for you to go free.
553
00:26:26.630 --> 00:26:28.700
My friend, he redeemed you.
554
00:26:28.700 --> 00:26:31.010
We're also offering you right now my book,
555
00:26:31.010 --> 00:26:32.450
which is called Dress to Kill.
556
00:26:32.450 --> 00:26:35.210
And in this book, there's
a whole section that deals
557
00:26:35.210 --> 00:26:39.950
with our redemption: resting in our redemption.
558
00:26:39.950 --> 00:26:41.270
Order yours today.
559
00:26:41.270 --> 00:26:45.690
Father, I thank you that you bought us with a price of Jesus
560
00:26:45.690 --> 00:26:48.630
blood: sickness does not belong in our body
561
00:26:48.630 --> 00:26:50.760
because our body now belongs to you.
562
00:26:50.760 --> 00:26:53.550
A lack of peace and torment
does not belong in our mind
563
00:26:53.550 --> 00:26:55.230
because our mind belongs to you.
564
00:26:55.230 --> 00:26:59.400
Poverty does not belong to us
because we now belong to you.
565
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:01.800
And Lord, we intend to
glorify you in our body
566
00:27:01.800 --> 00:27:03.510
and in our spirit, which are yours.
567
00:27:03.510 --> 00:27:08.040
Help us to do it. And we
thank you for saving us.
568
00:27:08.040 --> 00:27:09.660
We thank you for redeeming us
569
00:27:09.660 --> 00:27:13.260
and delivering us in Jesus' name,
570
00:27:13.260 --> 00:27:17.310
Amen. Amen. I'll see you tomorrow.
571
00:27:17.310 --> 00:27:19.710
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word
572
00:27:19.710 --> 00:27:23.040
of a king is, there is power."
573
00:27:23.040 --> 00:27:25.320
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
574
00:27:25.320 --> 00:27:29.010
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
575
00:27:29.010 --> 00:27:30.660
Jesus has to give you.
576
00:27:30.660 --> 00:27:33.450
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
577
00:27:33.450 --> 00:27:36.810
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
578
00:27:36.810 --> 00:27:41.430
and Lord. Wash away my sin
and make me completely new.
579
00:27:41.430 --> 00:27:44.550
I thank you that my sin is removed
580
00:27:44.550 --> 00:27:49.410
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
581
00:27:49.410 --> 00:27:52.710
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
582
00:27:52.710 --> 00:27:54.480
for the rest of my life.
583
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:58.200
Amen. Renner ministry
is proclaiming the gospel
584
00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:01.470
of Jesus Christ through
every available media avenue
585
00:28:01.470 --> 00:28:03.480
to the uttermost parts of the Earth.
586
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:06.510
Discover the many ways you can
help us make a difference in
587
00:28:06.510 --> 00:28:09.480
lives around the world
with the word of God.
588
00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:13.590
We invite you to partner with
us in teaching, strengthening
589
00:28:14.670 --> 00:28:18.090
and rescuing lives for the glory of God.
590
00:28:18.090 --> 00:28:20.250
Together we can make a difference
591
00:28:20.250 --> 00:28:22.140
that will last throughout eternity.
