Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter-by-chapter by chapter verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues his message,

they said, hey, that's all right. They had never been able to argue their case with the Sadducees. But when they heard

that argument, they were really pleased with that. Hey, that's all right. You nailed them, you know.

ask him any more questions. And so he said unto them, how say they that Christ is David's son?

Now, one of the titles for the Messiah was Son of David. Last week, you remember when we were in Jericho,

and Jesus was entering the city. There was the blind man who cried out, Jesus, thou son of David,

have mercy on me. Son of David was a messianic title because they were looking for some descendant of David

to arise, empower, and in authority to establish the kingdom and to overthrow the Roman rule.
