00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:06.060
 Well, please take your Bibles and open them up this morning to Psalms chapter 29.

00:00:06.259 --> 00:00:08.900
! Psalms chapter 29 is our passage this morning.

00:00:09.419 --> 00:00:11.839
 We've been in the Psalms for the summer.

00:00:11.980 --> 00:00:17.440
 We took a break from our series in Genesis to spend a few weeks over the summer months in the Psalms,

00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:20.080
 and we've come to Psalm chapter 29.

00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:22.740
 Now, if you don't have a copy of God's Word,

00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.440
 you are welcome to take one from the seat back in front of you nearby.

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:28.240
 Use one of those.

00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:33.859
 And when you found it, let's stand in honor of the reading of God's Word from Psalm chapter 29.

00:00:34.780 --> 00:00:39.420
 And as you find it, as you stand, you know, every now and then as you study the Word,

00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:42.820
 you realize that there are some translation options,

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:46.640
 and normally your footnotes in the Bible will indicate some of those options.

00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:50.619
 This is one of the times where I actually prefer some of the footnotes,

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.439
 and so as you read along with me, you'll notice just a couple of differences,

00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:59.000
 but I promise as we get going, I'll try and explain what we're doing here.

00:00:59.099 --> 00:01:00.979
 So listen along as I read Psalm 29.

00:01:03.060 --> 00:01:04.219
 It's the Psalm of David.

00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:04.739
 He writes,

00:01:04.739 --> 00:01:07.679
 Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of God.

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.299
 Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.119
 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name.

00:01:15.979 --> 00:01:18.459
 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.

00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.239
 The voice of the Lord is over the waters.

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.439
 The God of glory thunders.

00:01:24.939 --> 00:01:26.399
 The Lord over many waters.

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.160
 The voice of the Lord is powerful.

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.800
 The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:34.820
 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars.

00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:37.719
 The Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.040
 He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,

00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:43.540
 and Sirion like a young wild ox.

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.540
 The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.

00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.380
 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness.

00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:54.219
 The Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

00:01:54.219 --> 00:01:58.500
 The voice of the Lord makes the deer shake,

00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:00.780
 and strips the forest bare.

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:04.459
 And in His temple all cry, Glory!

00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:08.159
 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood.

00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.280
 The Lord sits enthroned as King forever.

00:02:12.259 --> 00:02:14.199
 May the Lord give strength to His people.

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.099
 May the Lord bless His people with peace.

00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.259
 Father, once again we pray,

00:02:21.259 --> 00:02:23.400
 Lord, would You give us ears to hear,

00:02:24.219 --> 00:02:26.039
 would You give us eyes to see,

00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:29.620
 would You give us minds to grasp the truth of Your Word,

00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.719
 and would You give us hearts to love the truth of Your Word this morning?

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:33.840
 We pray in Christ's name.

00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:34.919
 Amen.

00:02:36.060 --> 00:02:36.860
 You may be seated.

00:02:41.259 --> 00:02:43.800
 About 250 years ago,

00:02:43.900 --> 00:02:46.639
 August 23rd, 1775,

00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:52.919
 King George III issued what is now known as the Proclamation of Rebellion.

00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:58.379
 And this is his response to the Battle of Bunker Hill at the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

00:02:59.019 --> 00:03:04.079
 And in it, he declared the American colonies to be in a state of, quote,

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.299
 open and avowed rebellion against the king and his kingdom.

00:03:09.300 --> 00:03:12.920
 And so he ordered any and all officials to, quote,

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.719
 use their utmost endeavors to withstand and suppress such rebellion.

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:22.700
 His reason was that he believed the Americans desired to, quote,

00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:25.200
 create an independent empire.

00:03:26.260 --> 00:03:29.200
 And so the king sent a very clear message to the rebels.

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:30.280
 Come back.

00:03:31.380 --> 00:03:32.500
 Honor the king.

00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:34.700
 Heed my voice.

00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:36.160
 Listen to my warning.

00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.079
 Stop rebelling against the king.

00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:40.960
 And, of course, less than a year later,

00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.319
 the Americans signed the Declaration of Independence to make our rebellion official.

00:03:46.079 --> 00:03:49.439
 And now every year we celebrate it with fireworks and hot dogs.

00:03:51.819 --> 00:03:53.280
 Earthly politics aside,

00:03:53.620 --> 00:03:57.719
 the reason that I share that little history lesson is because our psalm this morning,

00:03:57.900 --> 00:03:58.979
 Psalm chapter 29,

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:04.159
 could be understood as a divine proclamation of rebellion.

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:11.300
 King David is concerned that there are some in the kingdom who are rebelling against the king,

00:04:11.379 --> 00:04:14.079
 not against King David as an earthly king,

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.759
 but against the Lord, the king of kings.

00:04:16.860 --> 00:04:21.300
 And so he writes this psalm urging them to come back,

00:04:22.019 --> 00:04:24.879
 to give the king the honor that he's due,

00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:26.860
 to heed his voice,

00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:30.899
 to remember that God is king and we rightfully belong to him.

00:04:30.899 --> 00:04:36.519
 So come and enjoy the peace and the blessing that can only be found in him.

00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:39.379
 This psalm is a warning to rebels.

00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.399
 Let's take a look together and we'll see three commands to rebels.

00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:45.719
 This will be our outline this morning.

00:04:45.819 --> 00:04:48.899
 If you're taking notes and trying to make it easy for you to follow along,

00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.500
 three commands to rebels.

00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:54.379
 First, he says,

00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.560
 Give God the glory he's due.

00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.680
 Give God the glory he's due.

00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:09.060
 Now this is the first command that he gives here to rebels here in verses 1 to 2.

00:05:09.139 --> 00:05:10.939
 But I do realize before we get too far,

00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:15.120
 I think I need to explain why I think we're dealing with rebels here

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:19.980
 because it's not immediately clear from the passage that that's what's going on, is it?

00:05:20.620 --> 00:05:22.459
 Sometimes we've noticed this, haven't we?

00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.120
 As we've gone through the psalms,

00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:29.259
 sometimes the context is kind of hard to pull out from some of these psalms, isn't it?

00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:34.540
 Sometimes it's explicitly clear and it tells us in a subscript or a heading what's going on.

00:05:34.819 --> 00:05:37.740
 Other times we've got to do a little bit of digging, don't we?

00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:39.899
 But that digging is hard work,

00:05:39.899 --> 00:05:44.959
 but it's worth it because that context helps us to understand what's happening in the passage.

00:05:45.599 --> 00:05:49.620
 And often we get there by asking some really good questions of the passage.

00:05:50.359 --> 00:05:54.139
 The questions like, well, who is David speaking to here?

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.359
 Who is David speaking to?

00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:58.699
 Who is he talking to?

00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.139
 This psalm is a little bit unique in this section of the psalms

00:06:02.139 --> 00:06:05.399
 in the sense that David is not speaking directly to God, is he?

00:06:06.219 --> 00:06:08.120
 This is not a prayer.

00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:13.280
 He's not directly asking the Lord to do anything in this psalm, is he?

00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.819
 Verse 1 tells us who he's talking to.

00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:16.420
 What does it say?

00:06:17.340 --> 00:06:17.720
 He says,

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.819
 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,

00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:25.420
 ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

00:06:25.540 --> 00:06:27.319
 And you'll notice, again, that in our reading,

00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:29.040
 this is one where I follow the footnote.

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.939
 Your Bible should have a footnote down there at the bottom

00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:34.019
 that says the Hebrew there says,

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.480
 Sons of God.

00:06:35.579 --> 00:06:36.699
 So read it again with me.

00:06:36.699 --> 00:06:39.839
 Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of God.

00:06:40.659 --> 00:06:44.219
 Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

00:06:44.339 --> 00:06:46.459
 That's one clue for our context.

00:06:47.479 --> 00:06:49.439
 And another question that we might ask would be,

00:06:49.579 --> 00:06:53.019
 well, what does David seem to be describing here?

00:06:53.139 --> 00:06:55.060
 What's the picture that he's painting?

00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:56.819
 What does he want us to be thinking about

00:06:56.819 --> 00:06:58.399
 as we read the psalm?

00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.219
 Did you notice how he keeps talking about the waters here?

00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:05.760
 The voice of the Lord is over the waters.

00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:06.380
 Verse 3.

00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:11.100
 The God of glory thunders the Lord over many waters.

00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:13.920
 It seems like he's describing a storm, doesn't it?

00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:18.680
 The Lord is breaking cedars and he's flashing forth flames of fire.

00:07:18.780 --> 00:07:20.200
 That sounds like lightning to me.

00:07:20.980 --> 00:07:22.360
 Down in verse 10, he says,

00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:26.660
 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood.

00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:29.080
 This is interesting.

00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:32.080
 There's 13 times in the entire Old Testament

00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:33.980
 where that word flood appears.

00:07:34.540 --> 00:07:37.980
 All 12 of them show up in Genesis chapter 6 through 11.

00:07:38.500 --> 00:07:40.439
 The 13th, you know where it is?

00:07:41.139 --> 00:07:44.500
 It's right here in Psalm chapter 29.

00:07:44.500 --> 00:07:47.180
 You put it all together here.

00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:51.399
 All of this leads me to think that David is writing this psalm

00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.540
 reflecting on the events of the flood.

00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.000
 And if you remember what provoked the flood, what was it?

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.980
 He's thinking back on the time when the sons of God

00:08:02.980 --> 00:08:05.459
 intermarried with the daughters of man.

00:08:06.180 --> 00:08:07.699
 They rebelled against the Lord

00:08:07.699 --> 00:08:10.500
 and the Lord punished that rebellion with this global flood.

00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:13.220
 He's reflecting on this whole event,

00:08:13.220 --> 00:08:16.080
 reflecting on this rebellion then,

00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.200
 and as king of God's people,

00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:20.520
 he looks out to those under his reign,

00:08:20.620 --> 00:08:22.620
 to the sons of God in his time,

00:08:22.660 --> 00:08:23.120
 and he says,

00:08:23.420 --> 00:08:25.140
 Don't make that same mistake.

00:08:26.520 --> 00:08:28.820
 Don't rebel as they did.

00:08:30.140 --> 00:08:32.740
 And his first instruction to rebels

00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:35.279
 and would-be rebels,

00:08:35.420 --> 00:08:36.759
 to people like you and I

00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.820
 who are so prone to wonder against the Lord,

00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:41.279
 is this.

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.879
 Give God the glory that he is due.

00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:48.980
 Ascribe to the Lord,

00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.039
 you sons of God.

00:08:51.980 --> 00:08:54.939
 Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:58.220
 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name.

00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:02.240
 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.120
 We need to realize,

00:09:05.340 --> 00:09:06.419
 all sin

00:09:06.419 --> 00:09:08.899
 is a failure

00:09:08.899 --> 00:09:11.940
 to give God the glory that he's due.

00:09:13.539 --> 00:09:14.759
 All sin

00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.580
 is a failure

00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:19.879
 to worship God

00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:21.700
 as he deserves.

00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.799
 At the heart of all sin

00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:25.539
 and all rebellion against the Lord

00:09:25.539 --> 00:09:27.840
 is a failure to honor him

00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:28.620
 as God.

00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:30.799
 Isn't that what the Apostle Paul

00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.720
 told us in Romans chapter 1?

00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:35.759
 He looks out at the Gentiles

00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:36.700
 and he says that although

00:09:36.700 --> 00:09:38.480
 they all know God

00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:39.620
 in a general way

00:09:39.620 --> 00:09:41.840
 because creation has revealed him

00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:42.519
 to them,

00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:43.480
 to all people,

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.000
 they did not honor him as God

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.340
 or give thanks to him,

00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:48.600
 but they became futile

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:49.360
 in their thinking

00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.240
 and their foolish hearts

00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:52.799
 were darkened.

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:54.519
 You realize,

00:09:54.620 --> 00:09:56.159
 our fundamental duty

00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:57.279
 as God's creatures,

00:09:57.459 --> 00:09:59.279
 the reason that we exist

00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:00.819
 and the reason that you have

00:10:00.819 --> 00:10:02.059
 breath in your lungs

00:10:02.059 --> 00:10:03.159
 this very moment

00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.419
 is that you might

00:10:04.419 --> 00:10:05.620
 give God

00:10:05.620 --> 00:10:06.360
 the glory

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:07.860
 that he's due.

00:10:09.699 --> 00:10:10.419
 Our God

00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:11.240
 is the most

00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.939
 glorious,

00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:13.579
 most

00:10:13.579 --> 00:10:14.659
 infinitely

00:10:14.659 --> 00:10:15.439
 perfect,

00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:15.860
 most

00:10:15.860 --> 00:10:17.259
 beautiful thing

00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:18.459
 in all the universe.

00:10:19.699 --> 00:10:20.600
 And we believe

00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:21.259
 that he is

00:10:21.259 --> 00:10:22.139
 good

00:10:22.139 --> 00:10:23.980
 and holy

00:10:23.980 --> 00:10:24.480
 and

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.299
 perfectly just

00:10:26.299 --> 00:10:26.580
 and

00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:28.259
 gracious to sinners

00:10:28.259 --> 00:10:29.480
 and merciful.

00:10:30.500 --> 00:10:31.059
 And because

00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:32.120
 he is infinitely

00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:32.879
 good

00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:33.960
 and infinitely

00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:34.779
 holy

00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:35.620
 and infinitely

00:10:35.620 --> 00:10:36.439
 strong,

00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:37.340
 because he is

00:10:37.340 --> 00:10:38.279
 who he is,

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:39.080
 we believe

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:40.319
 he is worthy

00:10:40.319 --> 00:10:42.500
 of all praise,

00:10:43.299 --> 00:10:43.620
 worthy

00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:44.779
 of all

00:10:44.779 --> 00:10:45.319
 honor,

00:10:45.980 --> 00:10:46.279
 worthy

00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:47.059
 of all

00:10:47.059 --> 00:10:47.879
 worship.

00:10:49.299 --> 00:10:50.319
 We read from our

00:10:50.319 --> 00:10:51.240
 catechism this morning,

00:10:51.319 --> 00:10:51.639
 didn't we?

00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.879
 Who is the first

00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:53.500
 and best

00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:54.620
 of all beings?

00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:55.279
 And the answer,

00:10:55.899 --> 00:10:56.360
 God

00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:57.720
 is the first

00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:58.319
 and best

00:10:58.319 --> 00:10:59.139
 of all beings.

00:11:00.340 --> 00:11:00.939
 And we read,

00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:01.980
 what is the chief

00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:02.939
 end of man?

00:11:03.019 --> 00:11:04.059
 What is my purpose

00:11:04.059 --> 00:11:04.840
 here on earth?

00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:06.899
 Man's chief end

00:11:06.899 --> 00:11:08.000
 is to glorify

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:08.799
 God

00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.480
 and to enjoy

00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:10.899
 him

00:11:10.899 --> 00:11:11.759
 forever.

00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:12.460
 Our God

00:11:12.460 --> 00:11:13.299
 is king

00:11:13.299 --> 00:11:14.379
 of all the universe

00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:15.059
 and we

00:11:15.059 --> 00:11:15.659
 as his

00:11:15.659 --> 00:11:16.799
 royal subjects

00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:17.819
 are called

00:11:17.819 --> 00:11:18.639
 to ascribe

00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:19.600
 to the Lord

00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:20.480
 glory.

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:20.600
 glory.

00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:21.000
 Now,

00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:22.759
 what does

00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:23.159
 this mean?

00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:25.480
 We have a mission

00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:25.920
 statement

00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:27.019
 as a church.

00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:27.379
 Do you remember

00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:27.899
 what it is?

00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:30.560
 We exist

00:11:30.560 --> 00:11:32.360
 to magnify

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:33.399
 the glory

00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:34.279
 of God

00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:35.539
 in the gospel

00:11:35.539 --> 00:11:36.980
 of Jesus Christ.

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:37.740
 That's our mission

00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:38.399
 as a church.

00:11:38.560 --> 00:11:39.120
 We exist

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:40.460
 to magnify

00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:41.100
 the glory

00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:41.759
 of God

00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.279
 in the gospel

00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.000
 of Jesus Christ.

00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:45.740
 We want to

00:11:45.740 --> 00:11:46.920
 magnify

00:11:46.920 --> 00:11:47.600
 the glory

00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.379
 of God.

00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:50.379
 John Piper

00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:51.180
 points out

00:11:51.180 --> 00:11:51.500
 that there's

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:52.519
 two kinds

00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:53.500
 of magnifying

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:54.159
 and it's important

00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:54.740
 that we know

00:11:54.740 --> 00:11:55.500
 which one

00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:55.940
 we're trying

00:11:55.940 --> 00:11:56.300
 to do.

00:11:56.420 --> 00:11:56.659
 There's

00:11:56.659 --> 00:11:57.420
 microscope

00:11:57.420 --> 00:11:58.320
 magnifying

00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:00.120
 and there's

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:00.740
 telescope

00:12:00.740 --> 00:12:01.820
 magnifying.

00:12:01.940 --> 00:12:02.120
 Do you know

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:02.519
 the difference?

00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:04.759
 Microscope

00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:05.519
 magnifying

00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:06.360
 on one hand.

00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:07.259
 It seeks

00:12:07.259 --> 00:12:07.620
 to take

00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:07.920
 something

00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:08.220
 really,

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:09.139
 really small

00:12:09.139 --> 00:12:10.279
 and make

00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:10.800
 it look

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:11.360
 bigger

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:12.480
 so that we

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:13.060
 can understand

00:12:13.059 --> 00:12:13.279
 it

00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:14.399
 and study

00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:14.659
 it

00:12:14.659 --> 00:12:15.179
 and see

00:12:15.179 --> 00:12:16.119
 its inner

00:12:16.119 --> 00:12:16.779
 workings

00:12:16.779 --> 00:12:17.819
 and understand

00:12:17.819 --> 00:12:18.359
 what's going

00:12:18.359 --> 00:12:18.679
 on.

00:12:18.739 --> 00:12:19.279
 But telescope

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.059
 magnifying

00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:20.500
 on the other

00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:20.859
 hand,

00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:22.179
 that seeks

00:12:22.179 --> 00:12:22.579
 to take

00:12:22.579 --> 00:12:22.919
 something

00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:23.419
 really,

00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:23.819
 really,

00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.019
 really big

00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:26.119
 like the

00:12:26.119 --> 00:12:26.679
 moon

00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:27.819
 and the

00:12:27.819 --> 00:12:28.459
 stars,

00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:29.119
 the Milky

00:12:29.119 --> 00:12:29.519
 Way.

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:30.219
 It takes

00:12:30.219 --> 00:12:30.500
 something

00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:31.159
 really,

00:12:31.459 --> 00:12:32.059
 really big

00:12:32.059 --> 00:12:32.639
 and it seeks

00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:33.299
 to allow

00:12:33.299 --> 00:12:34.379
 us to see

00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:34.959
 it for as

00:12:34.959 --> 00:12:35.500
 big and

00:12:35.500 --> 00:12:36.219
 as glorious

00:12:36.219 --> 00:12:36.799
 and beautiful

00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:37.139
 as it

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:37.839
 really is.

00:12:38.579 --> 00:12:39.119
 That's what

00:12:39.119 --> 00:12:39.839
 we're seeking

00:12:39.839 --> 00:12:40.399
 to do when

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:40.839
 we say we

00:12:40.839 --> 00:12:41.199
 want to

00:12:41.199 --> 00:12:41.959
 magnify

00:12:41.959 --> 00:12:42.839
 his glory.

00:12:43.839 --> 00:12:44.239
 We want

00:12:44.239 --> 00:12:44.519
 to take

00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:45.319
 this big,

00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:46.199
 glorious,

00:12:46.539 --> 00:12:46.899
 good,

00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:47.739
 infinitely

00:12:47.739 --> 00:12:48.519
 worthy God

00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:49.239
 and see

00:12:49.239 --> 00:12:49.799
 him for

00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:50.259
 who he

00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:50.719
 is and

00:12:50.719 --> 00:12:51.159
 declare

00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:52.079
 him to

00:12:52.079 --> 00:12:52.559
 be as

00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:52.979
 glorious

00:12:52.979 --> 00:12:53.500
 as he

00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:53.859
 is with

00:12:53.859 --> 00:12:54.219
 all of

00:12:54.219 --> 00:12:54.339
 our

00:12:54.339 --> 00:12:54.699
 being.

00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:55.279
 That's

00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:55.500
 what it

00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:55.899
 means to

00:12:55.899 --> 00:12:56.339
 ascribe

00:12:56.339 --> 00:12:56.859
 to the

 Do you

00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:04.879
 Sons of

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:05.139
 God,

 and best

00:13:09.319 --> 00:13:10.419

 Do you see him

00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:40.720
 burdens and

00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:41.200
 sorrows?

00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:41.759
 Do you

00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:42.379
 see him

00:13:42.379 --> 00:13:43.340
 as infinitely

00:13:43.340 --> 00:13:44.259
 holy,

00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:44.960
 infinitely

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:45.879
 just,

00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:46.560
 infinitely

00:13:46.560 --> 00:13:47.500
 glorious?

00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:48.100
 Do you

00:13:48.100 --> 00:13:49.019
 see him

00:13:49.019 --> 00:13:50.019
 as worthy

00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:51.160
 of your

00:13:51.160 --> 00:13:51.980
 life?

00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:54.639
 Do you

00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:55.019
 see him

00:13:55.019 --> 00:13:55.580
 as worthy

00:13:55.580 --> 00:13:57.060
 of your

00:13:57.060 --> 00:13:57.560
 total

00:13:57.560 --> 00:13:58.560
 worship?

00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:00.219
 that's

00:14:00.219 --> 00:14:00.459
 what it

00:14:00.459 --> 00:14:00.739
 means

00:14:00.739 --> 00:14:00.919
 to

00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:01.359
 ascribe

00:14:01.359 --> 00:14:01.799
 to

00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:01.959
 the

00:14:01.959 --> 00:14:02.299
 Lord

00:14:02.299 --> 00:14:03.759
 glory.

00:14:04.119 --> 00:14:04.339
 David

00:14:04.339 --> 00:14:04.899
 knows

00:14:04.899 --> 00:14:05.239
 that

00:14:05.239 --> 00:14:06.079
 to

00:14:06.079 --> 00:14:06.739
 see him

00:14:06.739 --> 00:14:07.239
 in this

00:14:07.239 --> 00:14:07.599
 way

00:14:07.599 --> 00:14:07.959
 and to

00:14:07.959 --> 00:14:08.839
 ascribe

00:14:08.839 --> 00:14:09.319
 this

00:14:09.319 --> 00:14:09.779
 to him

00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:10.179
 not just

00:14:10.179 --> 00:14:10.459
 with our

00:14:10.459 --> 00:14:10.719
 lips

00:14:10.719 --> 00:14:11.019
 but with

00:14:11.019 --> 00:14:11.179
 our

00:14:11.179 --> 00:14:11.519
 heart,

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:12.199
 this

00:14:12.199 --> 00:14:12.539
 type

00:14:12.539 --> 00:14:12.699
 of

00:14:12.699 --> 00:14:13.159
 seeing

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:13.519
 and

00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:14.000
 believing

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:14.979
 is the

00:14:14.979 --> 00:14:15.739
 antidote

00:14:15.739 --> 00:14:16.059
 to

00:14:16.059 --> 00:14:16.579
 all

00:14:16.579 --> 00:14:17.279
 rebellion.

00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:18.979
 Do you

00:14:18.979 --> 00:14:19.179
 want to

00:14:19.179 --> 00:14:19.479
 know how

00:14:19.479 --> 00:14:19.799
 to fight

00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:20.059
 against

00:14:20.059 --> 00:14:20.359
 sin

00:14:20.359 --> 00:14:20.599
 in your

00:14:20.599 --> 00:14:20.919
 life?

00:14:22.139 --> 00:14:22.359
 The

00:14:22.359 --> 00:14:22.579
 answer

00:14:22.579 --> 00:14:22.719
 ought

00:14:22.719 --> 00:14:22.759
 to

00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:22.879
 be

00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:23.299
 yes.

00:14:25.299 --> 00:14:25.779
 I'll

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:25.959
 give you

00:14:25.959 --> 00:14:26.519
 a strategy.

00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.519
 Fix

00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:28.740
 your

00:14:28.740 --> 00:14:29.199
 heart

00:14:29.199 --> 00:14:29.659

00:14:29.659 --> 00:14:30.079
 worth

00:14:30.079 --> 00:14:30.460
 and the

00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:30.799
 glory

00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:31.019
 of

00:14:31.019 --> 00:14:31.360
 God.

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:33.179
 Ascribe

00:14:33.179 --> 00:14:34.100
 to the

00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:34.439
 Lord

00:14:34.439 --> 00:14:34.860
 the

00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:35.439
 glory

00:14:35.439 --> 00:14:36.079
 due

00:14:36.079 --> 00:14:36.699
 his

00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:37.059
 name.

00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:38.079
 Magnify

00:14:38.079 --> 00:14:38.539
 the

00:14:38.539 --> 00:14:39.019
 glory

00:14:39.019 --> 00:14:39.379
 of

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:39.759
 God

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:40.120
 in

00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:40.299
 the

00:14:40.299 --> 00:14:40.720
 gospel

00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:41.079
 of

00:14:41.079 --> 00:14:41.480
 Jesus

00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:42.179
 Christ.

00:14:42.340 --> 00:14:42.559
 When

00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:42.679
 you

00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:42.980
 begin

00:14:42.980 --> 00:14:43.159
 to

00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:43.299
 see

00:14:43.299 --> 00:14:43.500
 how

00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:44.120
 good

00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:44.659
 God

00:14:44.659 --> 00:14:45.179
 is,

00:14:45.439 --> 00:14:45.559
 the

00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:46.220
 allure

00:14:46.220 --> 00:14:46.539
 of

00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:47.079
 rebellion

00:14:47.079 --> 00:14:47.419
 is

00:14:47.419 --> 00:14:48.059
 squashed

00:14:48.059 --> 00:14:48.360
 in our

00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:48.720
 hearts.

00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:50.439
 Sin

00:14:50.439 --> 00:14:50.819
 becomes

00:14:50.819 --> 00:14:51.159
 less

00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:51.639
 appealing

00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:52.000
 when you

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:52.139
 see

00:14:52.139 --> 00:14:52.340
 how

00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:52.720
 worthy

00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:53.139
 God

00:14:53.139 --> 00:14:53.539
 is.

00:14:55.059 --> 00:14:55.340
 So

00:14:55.340 --> 00:14:55.539
 David

00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:55.980
 calls

00:14:55.980 --> 00:14:56.419
 us

00:14:56.419 --> 00:14:57.339
 rebels

00:14:57.339 --> 00:14:57.679
 see

00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:57.939
 him

00:14:57.939 --> 00:14:58.179

00:14:58.179 --> 00:14:58.360
 he

00:14:58.360 --> 00:14:58.639

00:14:58.639 --> 00:14:58.919
 give

00:14:58.919 --> 00:14:59.240
 him

00:14:59.240 --> 00:14:59.439
 the

00:14:59.439 --> 00:14:59.899
 glory

00:14:59.899 --> 00:15:00.579
 that

00:15:00.579 --> 00:15:00.779
 he

00:15:00.779 --> 00:15:01.019
 is

00:15:01.019 --> 00:15:01.339
 due

00:15:01.339 --> 00:15:01.519
 but

00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:01.719
 not

00:15:01.719 --> 00:15:01.979
 only

00:15:01.979 --> 00:15:02.240
 this

00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:02.659
 second

00:15:02.659 --> 00:15:03.959
 second

00:15:03.959 --> 00:15:04.379
 command

00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:05.699
 he

00:15:05.699 --> 00:15:06.019
 says

00:15:06.019 --> 00:15:06.379
 heed

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:06.679
 his

00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:07.339
 voice

00:15:07.339 --> 00:15:09.519
 heed

00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:10.639
 his

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.079
 voice

00:15:11.079 --> 00:15:11.319
 look

00:15:11.319 --> 00:15:11.439
 there

00:15:11.439 --> 00:15:11.539
 to

00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:11.719
 verses

00:15:11.719 --> 00:15:12.000
 three

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:12.179
 through

00:15:12.179 --> 00:15:12.559
 nine

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.059
 seven

00:15:14.059 --> 00:15:14.779
 times

00:15:14.779 --> 00:15:15.439
 in

00:15:15.439 --> 00:15:15.639
 these

00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:16.039
 verses

00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:17.299
 he

00:15:17.299 --> 00:15:17.879
 reflects

00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:18.159
 on

00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:18.379
 the

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:19.219
 perfect

00:15:19.219 --> 00:15:19.879

 powerful

00:15:20.579 --> 00:15:21.159

00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:21.939

00:15:21.939 --> 00:15:22.219
 and

00:15:22.219 --> 00:15:22.459
 again

00:15:22.459 --> 00:15:22.740
 I

00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:22.899
 want

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:22.980

00:15:43.420 --> 00:15:44.020
 cedars

00:15:44.020 --> 00:15:44.240
 the

00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:44.500
 Lord

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:45.160
 breaks

00:15:45.160 --> 00:15:45.480
 the

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:46.060
 cedars

00:15:46.060 --> 00:15:46.340
 of

00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:46.800
 Lebanon

00:15:46.800 --> 00:15:47.160
 you

00:15:47.160 --> 00:15:47.320
 all

00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:47.500
 know

00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:47.740
 that

00:15:47.740 --> 00:15:48.320
 the

00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:48.800
 upstate

00:15:48.800 --> 00:15:49.020
 they're

00:15:49.020 --> 00:15:49.220
 still

00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:49.660
 recovering

00:15:49.660 --> 00:15:49.860
 from

00:15:49.860 --> 00:15:50.300
 hurricane

00:15:50.300 --> 00:15:50.840
 Helene

00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:51.879
 and

00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:52.019
 just

00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:52.180
 a

00:15:52.180 --> 00:15:53.200
 terrible

00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:53.899
 storm

00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:54.180
 nobody

00:15:54.180 --> 00:15:54.399
 was

00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:54.620
 ready

00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:54.899
 for

00:15:54.899 --> 00:15:55.360
 it

00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:55.899
 just

00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:56.720
 mountains

00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.100
 of

00:15:57.100 --> 00:15:57.639
 water

00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:58.019
 the flood

00:15:58.019 --> 00:15:58.259
 waters

00:15:58.259 --> 00:15:58.560
 came

00:15:58.560 --> 00:15:58.840
 nobody

00:15:58.840 --> 00:15:59.040
 was

00:15:59.040 --> 00:15:59.540
 expecting

00:15:59.540 --> 00:15:59.780
 that

00:15:59.780 --> 00:15:59.980
 much

00:15:59.980 --> 00:16:00.360
 water

00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:00.660
 and

00:16:00.660 --> 00:16:01.000
 especially

00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:01.340
 to come

00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:01.560
 that

00:16:01.560 --> 00:16:02.000
 quickly

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.220
 Amanda

00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:03.480
 and I

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:03.940
 went up

00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:04.820
 there

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:05.600
 last fall

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:05.899
 and it

00:16:05.899 --> 00:16:06.480
 was so

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:06.920
 strange

00:16:06.920 --> 00:16:07.340
 to look

00:16:07.340 --> 00:16:07.899
 up on the

00:16:07.899 --> 00:16:08.680
 hillside

00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:09.060
 at the

00:16:09.060 --> 00:16:09.360
 mountains

00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:09.680
 and see

00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:10.259
 just rows

00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:10.960
 of trees

00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:11.759
 laying down

00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:12.100
 if you've

00:16:12.100 --> 00:16:12.379
 been up

00:16:12.379 --> 00:16:12.500
 there

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:12.720
 you know

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:12.940
 what I'm

00:16:12.940 --> 00:16:13.200
 talking

00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:13.440
 about

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:13.899
 trees

00:16:13.899 --> 00:16:14.120
 are

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:14.320
 just

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:15.139
 horizontal

00:16:15.139 --> 00:16:15.860
 when they're

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:16.080
 supposed

00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:16.340
 to be

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:16.759
 vertical

00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:17.000
 it's

00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:17.680
 very strange

00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:18.180
 to see

00:16:18.179 --> 00:16:19.699
 the waters

00:16:19.699 --> 00:16:19.859
 had

00:16:19.859 --> 00:16:20.559
 rushed

00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:21.159
 through

00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:21.859
 and laid

00:16:21.859 --> 00:16:22.159
 them

00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:22.579
 all

00:16:22.579 --> 00:16:22.979
 out

00:16:22.979 --> 00:16:23.159
 that

00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:23.399
 seems

00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:23.599
 to be

00:16:23.599 --> 00:16:23.759
 what

00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:24.139
 David's

00:16:24.139 --> 00:16:24.639
 describing

00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:24.979
 here

00:16:24.979 --> 00:16:26.379
 I don't

00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:26.639
 know

00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:27.539
 much

00:16:27.539 --> 00:16:27.779
 about

00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:28.339
 trees

00:16:28.339 --> 00:16:28.679
 Treg

00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:29.120
 would

00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:29.259
 know

00:16:29.259 --> 00:16:29.459
 a lot

00:16:29.459 --> 00:16:29.639
 more

00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:29.779
 than

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:29.919
 I

00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.199
 would

00:16:30.199 --> 00:16:30.419
 but

00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:31.299
 I

00:16:31.299 --> 00:16:31.479
 do

00:16:31.479 --> 00:16:31.639
 know

00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:31.799
 that

00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:32.039
 some

00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:32.419
 cedar

00:16:32.419 --> 00:16:32.819
 trees

00:16:32.819 --> 00:16:33.000
 can

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:33.299
 grow

00:16:33.299 --> 00:16:33.779
 over

00:16:33.779 --> 00:16:34.099
 100

00:16:34.099 --> 00:16:34.459
 feet

00:16:34.459 --> 00:16:34.899
 tall

00:16:34.899 --> 00:16:35.199
 these

00:16:35.199 --> 00:16:35.379
 are

00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:35.979
 very

00:16:35.979 --> 00:16:36.639
 strong

00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:36.979
 very

00:16:36.979 --> 00:16:37.579
 sturdy

00:16:37.579 --> 00:16:37.579


00:16:37.579 --> 00:16:38.239
 trees

00:16:38.239 --> 00:16:38.799
 the cedars

00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:39.000
 of

00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:39.379
 Lebanon

00:16:39.379 --> 00:16:40.299
 in particular

00:16:40.299 --> 00:16:41.259
 were very

00:16:41.259 --> 00:16:41.739
 sturdy

00:16:41.739 --> 00:16:42.579
 very strong

00:16:42.579 --> 00:16:42.819
 they were

00:16:42.819 --> 00:16:43.259
 famous

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:43.599
 in the

00:16:43.599 --> 00:16:43.879
 ancient

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:44.299
 world

00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:45.459
 it was

00:16:45.459 --> 00:16:45.819
 these

00:16:45.819 --> 00:16:46.359
 trees

00:16:46.359 --> 00:16:47.099
 that Solomon

00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:48.340
 requested

00:16:48.340 --> 00:16:48.759
 to be

00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:49.060
 used

00:16:49.060 --> 00:16:49.560
 to build

00:16:49.560 --> 00:16:49.779
 his

00:16:49.779 --> 00:16:50.159
 temple

00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:51.440
 it was

00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:51.659
 these

00:16:51.659 --> 00:16:52.019
 cedars

00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:52.180
 of

00:16:52.180 --> 00:16:52.480
 Lebanon

00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:52.980
 that the

00:16:52.980 --> 00:16:53.420
 Phoenicians

00:16:53.420 --> 00:16:53.899
 used

00:16:53.899 --> 00:16:54.540
 to construct

00:16:54.540 --> 00:16:54.779
 their

00:16:54.779 --> 00:16:55.220
 famous

00:16:55.220 --> 00:16:55.840
 ships

00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.139
 they're

00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:57.560
 a symbol

00:16:57.560 --> 00:16:57.759
 of

00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:58.399
 strength

00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:58.800
 and

00:16:58.800 --> 00:16:59.659
 stability

00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:00.600
 but here

00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:02.000
 David says

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:02.600
 the voice

00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:02.980
 of the

00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:03.220
 Lord

00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:03.700
 goes

00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:04.180
 forth

00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:04.420
 the

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:04.980
 waters

00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:05.720
 rush

00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:06.240
 through

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:06.640
 and these

00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:07.140
 trees

00:17:07.140 --> 00:17:07.860
 they snap

00:17:07.860 --> 00:17:08.279
 like a

00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:08.900
 twig

00:17:08.900 --> 00:17:11.059
 just imagine

00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:11.440
 the flood

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:11.779
 waters

00:17:11.779 --> 00:17:12.099
 going

00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:12.480
 through

00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:13.400
 all the

00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:13.680
 earth

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:14.160
 you've

00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:14.500
 all seen

00:17:14.500 --> 00:17:14.900
 videos

00:17:14.900 --> 00:17:15.339
 I'm sure

00:17:15.339 --> 00:17:16.140
 of ships

00:17:16.140 --> 00:17:16.599
 out in the

00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:16.899
 middle of

00:17:16.899 --> 00:17:17.299
 the ocean

00:17:17.299 --> 00:17:17.639
 in a

00:17:17.639 --> 00:17:17.939
 storm

00:17:17.939 --> 00:17:19.879
 and the

00:17:19.879 --> 00:17:20.539
 waves are

00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:21.179
 ebbing and

00:17:21.179 --> 00:17:21.459
 flowing

00:17:21.459 --> 00:17:22.219
 they're rising

00:17:22.219 --> 00:17:22.919
 and falling

00:17:22.919 --> 00:17:23.219
 and that

00:17:23.219 --> 00:17:23.819
 ship is

00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:24.740
 just bouncing

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:25.179
 on the

00:17:25.179 --> 00:17:25.539
 waters

00:17:25.539 --> 00:17:25.799
 you know

00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:26.000
 what I'm

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:26.480
 talking about

00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:27.099
 up and

00:17:27.099 --> 00:17:27.519
 down

00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:28.419
 up and

00:17:28.419 --> 00:17:28.819
 down

00:17:28.819 --> 00:17:29.599
 up and

00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:29.839
 down

00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:30.199
 the boat

00:17:30.199 --> 00:17:30.779
 is tossed

00:17:30.779 --> 00:17:31.419
 up and

00:17:31.419 --> 00:17:31.740
 down

00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:33.039
 David says

00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:33.379
 in verse

00:17:33.379 --> 00:17:33.839
 6 that

00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:34.399
 this flood

00:17:34.399 --> 00:17:35.199
 is so

00:17:35.199 --> 00:17:35.659
 great

00:17:35.659 --> 00:17:36.159
 it makes

00:17:36.159 --> 00:17:36.679
 entire

00:17:36.679 --> 00:17:37.619
 areas of

00:17:37.619 --> 00:17:38.119
 the earth

00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:38.659
 Lebanon

00:17:38.659 --> 00:17:40.240
 Sirion

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:40.659
 which is

00:17:40.659 --> 00:17:41.139
 another name

00:17:41.139 --> 00:17:41.579
 for a

00:17:41.579 --> 00:17:41.939
 mountain

00:17:41.939 --> 00:17:42.719
 Mount Hermon

00:17:42.719 --> 00:17:43.439
 it makes

00:17:43.439 --> 00:17:43.779
 them look

00:17:43.779 --> 00:17:44.139
 like they're

00:17:44.139 --> 00:17:44.859
 skipping like

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:45.480
 a calf

00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:45.839
 or a

00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:46.519
 wild ox

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:47.180
 up and

00:17:47.180 --> 00:17:47.579
 down

00:17:47.579 --> 00:17:48.259
 up and

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:48.539
 down

00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:49.019
 the earth

00:17:49.019 --> 00:17:49.700
 itself

00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:50.460
 the mountains

00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:51.779
 are swelling

00:17:51.779 --> 00:17:52.759
 and ebbing

00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:53.240
 and flowing

00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:53.799
 like a boat

00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:54.139
 on the

00:17:54.139 --> 00:17:54.700
 waves

00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:57.160
 we can

00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:57.359
 hardly

00:17:57.359 --> 00:17:57.900
 imagine

00:17:57.900 --> 00:17:59.460
 this type

00:17:59.460 --> 00:17:59.960
 of power

00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:01.339
 and destruction

00:18:01.339 --> 00:18:03.819
 and it's

00:18:03.819 --> 00:18:04.039
 funny

00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:04.500
 in God's

00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:04.919
 providence

00:18:04.919 --> 00:18:05.279
 as I

00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:06.000
 was reading

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:06.740
 this passage

00:18:06.740 --> 00:18:07.419
 this week

00:18:07.419 --> 00:18:08.639
 started to

00:18:08.639 --> 00:18:08.939
 storm

00:18:08.939 --> 00:18:10.279
 this was

00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:11.199
 Tuesday

00:18:11.199 --> 00:18:11.859
 afternoon

00:18:11.859 --> 00:18:12.359
 and it

00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:13.339
 was raining

00:18:13.339 --> 00:18:13.919
 and then off

00:18:13.919 --> 00:18:14.359
 in the distance

00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:14.919
 we saw some

00:18:14.919 --> 00:18:15.299
 lightning

00:18:15.299 --> 00:18:16.159
 a flash of

00:18:16.159 --> 00:18:16.459
 lightning

00:18:16.459 --> 00:18:17.299
 and one of

00:18:17.299 --> 00:18:17.639
 the boys

00:18:17.639 --> 00:18:18.059
 was in the

00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:18.319
 kitchen

00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:18.759
 and he

00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:19.559
 started timing

00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:20.059
 it to see

00:18:20.059 --> 00:18:20.439
 how far

00:18:20.439 --> 00:18:20.759
 away it

00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:21.019
 was

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:21.240
 one

00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:21.759
 Mississippi

00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:22.220
 two

00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:22.720
 Mississippi

00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:23.199
 three

00:18:23.199 --> 00:18:23.720
 Mississippi

00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:24.059
 and at

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:24.539
 first it

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:25.039
 took several

00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:25.419
 seconds

00:18:25.419 --> 00:18:25.759
 so we

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:26.139
 knew it

00:18:26.139 --> 00:18:26.339
 was

00:18:26.339 --> 00:18:27.539
 several miles

00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:27.899
 away

00:18:27.899 --> 00:18:28.119
 it was

00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:28.339
 kind of

00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:28.599
 far

00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:28.919
 off

00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:29.140
 but

00:18:29.140 --> 00:18:30.000
 eventually

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:30.320
 it got

00:18:30.320 --> 00:18:30.740
 closer

00:18:30.740 --> 00:18:32.300
 and closer

00:18:32.300 --> 00:18:33.640
 and closer

00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:34.180
 to the point

00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:34.460
 where it

00:18:34.460 --> 00:18:34.820
 was almost

00:18:34.820 --> 00:18:35.300
 instant

00:18:35.300 --> 00:18:35.759
 you saw

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:36.300
 the flash

00:18:36.300 --> 00:18:36.539
 and you

00:18:36.539 --> 00:18:37.000
 heard the

00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:37.340
 thunder

00:18:37.340 --> 00:18:39.000
 and things

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:39.500
 started to

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:40.060
 shake and

00:18:40.060 --> 00:18:40.420
 rumble

00:18:40.420 --> 00:18:40.720
 in the

00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:40.980
 kitchen

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:42.700
 and the

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:43.240
 closer we

00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:43.680
 got to

00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:44.200
 the storm

00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:44.440
 or the

00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:44.660
 storm

00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:45.019
 got to

00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:45.320
 us

00:18:45.320 --> 00:18:45.580
 rather

00:18:45.580 --> 00:18:46.640
 the louder

00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:47.200
 it was

00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:47.800
 the brighter

00:18:47.800 --> 00:18:48.300
 it was

00:18:48.300 --> 00:18:48.660
 the more

00:18:48.660 --> 00:18:49.600
 we felt

00:18:49.600 --> 00:18:50.140
 it

00:18:50.140 --> 00:18:52.420
 David says

00:18:52.420 --> 00:18:52.660
 here

00:18:52.660 --> 00:18:53.300
 the voice

00:18:53.300 --> 00:18:53.660
 of the

00:18:53.660 --> 00:18:53.900
 Lord

00:18:53.900 --> 00:18:54.460
 flashes

00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:55.019
 forth

00:18:55.019 --> 00:18:55.620
 flames

00:18:55.620 --> 00:18:56.340
 of fire

00:18:56.340 --> 00:18:56.620
 that's

00:18:56.620 --> 00:18:56.980
 lightning

00:18:56.980 --> 00:18:58.640
 the voice

00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:58.960
 of the

00:18:58.960 --> 00:18:59.240
 Lord

00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:00.080
 shakes

00:19:00.080 --> 00:19:00.380
 the

00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:00.860
 wilderness

00:19:00.860 --> 00:19:01.620
 that's

00:19:01.620 --> 00:19:02.240
 thunder

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.040
 he shakes

00:19:04.040 --> 00:19:04.640
 the wilderness

00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:05.340
 of Kadesh

00:19:05.340 --> 00:19:06.080
 the whole

00:19:06.080 --> 00:19:06.880
 world is

00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:07.660
 shaking

00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:08.300
 under the

00:19:08.300 --> 00:19:08.700
 force of

00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:09.220
 this storm

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:09.600
 even the

00:19:09.600 --> 00:19:10.020
 animals

00:19:10.020 --> 00:19:10.640
 verse 9

00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:12.300
 he says

00:19:12.300 --> 00:19:12.720
 the voice

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:13.020
 of the

00:19:13.020 --> 00:19:13.240
 Lord

00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:13.740
 makes the

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.100
 deer

00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:14.840
 to give

00:19:14.840 --> 00:19:15.680
 birth

00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:16.040
 now that

00:19:16.040 --> 00:19:16.240
 doesn't

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:16.660
 make much

00:19:16.660 --> 00:19:17.140
 sense

00:19:17.140 --> 00:19:17.440
 at all

00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:17.740
 does it

00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:18.380
 in context

00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:20.120
 until you

00:19:20.120 --> 00:19:20.660
 realize that

00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:20.940
 it's the

00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:21.480
 same root

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:21.880
 word

00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:22.600
 as up

00:19:22.600 --> 00:19:22.960
 above

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:23.720
 the voice

00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:24.100
 of the

00:19:24.100 --> 00:19:24.360
 Lord

00:19:24.360 --> 00:19:25.000
 makes the

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:25.380
 deer

00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:26.520
 shake

00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:28.579
 all

00:19:28.579 --> 00:19:28.740
 the

00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:29.339
 animals

00:19:29.339 --> 00:19:29.819
 all

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:30.059
 those

00:19:30.059 --> 00:19:30.279
 who

00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:30.940
 didn't

00:19:30.940 --> 00:19:31.420
 make it

00:19:31.420 --> 00:19:31.799
 onto

00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:32.099
 the

00:19:32.099 --> 00:19:32.379
 ark

00:19:32.379 --> 00:19:33.079
 shake

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:33.440
 in

00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:34.019
 fear

00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:34.259
 and

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:35.119
 writhe

00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:35.440
 in

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:35.819
 pain

00:19:35.819 --> 00:19:36.180
 as the

00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:36.500
 voice

00:19:36.500 --> 00:19:36.759
 of the

00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:37.039
 Lord

00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:37.720
 strips

00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:38.019
 the

00:19:38.019 --> 00:19:38.539
 forest

00:19:38.539 --> 00:19:39.319
 bare

00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:41.700
 and the

00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:42.319
 response

00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:44.740
 in his

00:19:44.740 --> 00:19:45.119
 temple

00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:46.500
 all

00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:47.740
 cry

00:19:47.740 --> 00:19:49.720
 glory

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:50.720
 glory

00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:52.860
 you realize

00:19:52.860 --> 00:19:53.240
 that's the

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:53.559
 proper

00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:54.259
 response

00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:55.860
 to the

00:19:55.860 --> 00:19:56.160
 power

00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:56.460
 of the

00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:56.740
 voice

00:19:56.740 --> 00:19:57.000
 of the

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:57.240
 Lord

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:57.480
 don't

00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:57.640
 you

00:19:57.640 --> 00:19:59.360
 to

00:19:59.360 --> 00:19:59.839
 ascribe

00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:00.440
 to the

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:00.819
 Lord

00:20:00.819 --> 00:20:02.019
 glory

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:03.240
 and

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:03.900
 strength

00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:05.720
 when you

00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:06.220
 consider the

00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:06.839
 power of

00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:07.259
 the voice

00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:07.559
 of the

00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:07.759
 Lord

00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:07.940
 the

00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:08.339
 proper

00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:08.920
 response

00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:09.220
 of our

00:20:09.220 --> 00:20:09.500
 heart

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:10.100
 ought to

00:20:10.100 --> 00:20:10.380
 be

00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:11.259
 awe

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:12.059
 and to

00:20:12.059 --> 00:20:12.620
 marvel

00:20:12.620 --> 00:20:13.259
 at the

00:20:13.259 --> 00:20:13.579
 Lord

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:13.960
 and to

00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:14.420
 ascribe

00:20:14.420 --> 00:20:15.120
 to him

00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:16.559
 glory

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:18.740
 that

00:20:18.740 --> 00:20:19.200
 moment

00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:19.559
 in the

00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:19.940
 flood

 comes

00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:02.759
 through

00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:03.099
 hearing

00:26:03.099 --> 00:26:03.299
 and

00:26:03.299 --> 00:26:03.619
 hearing

00:26:03.619 --> 00:26:04.039
 through

00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:04.579
 the

00:26:04.579 --> 00:26:05.039
 word

00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:05.859
 of

00:26:05.859 --> 00:26:06.379
 Christ

00:26:06.380 --> 00:26:07.740
 he

00:26:07.740 --> 00:26:07.900
 says

00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:08.080
 I

00:26:08.080 --> 00:26:08.200
 am

00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:08.420
 not

00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:08.980
 ashamed

00:26:08.980 --> 00:26:09.520
 of

00:26:09.520 --> 00:26:09.660
 the

00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:10.120
 gospel

00:26:10.120 --> 00:26:10.460
 for

00:26:10.460 --> 00:26:10.900
 that

00:26:10.900 --> 00:26:11.400
 gospel

00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:11.680
 is

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:11.860
 the

00:26:11.860 --> 00:26:12.320
 power

00:26:12.320 --> 00:26:12.660
 of

00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:13.000
 God

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:13.200
 for

00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:13.800
 salvation

00:26:13.800 --> 00:26:14.300
 to

00:26:14.300 --> 00:26:14.600
 any

00:26:14.600 --> 00:26:14.840
 who

00:26:14.840 --> 00:26:15.280
 believe

00:26:15.280 --> 00:26:15.440
 to

00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:15.580
 the

00:26:15.580 --> 00:26:15.760
 Jew

00:26:15.760 --> 00:26:16.140
 first

00:26:16.140 --> 00:26:16.300
 and

00:26:16.300 --> 00:26:16.680
 also

00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:17.220
 to

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:17.420
 the

00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:17.700
 Greek

00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:17.920
 so

00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:18.340
 what

00:26:18.340 --> 00:26:18.800
 is

00:26:18.800 --> 00:26:19.100
 that

00:26:19.100 --> 00:26:19.600
 gospel

00:26:19.600 --> 00:26:20.080
 church

00:26:20.080 --> 00:26:22.060
 what

00:26:22.060 --> 00:26:22.240
 is

00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:22.400
 the

00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:22.780
 message

00:26:22.780 --> 00:26:23.060
 that

00:26:23.060 --> 00:26:23.620
 sinners

00:26:23.620 --> 00:26:24.100
 must

00:26:24.100 --> 00:26:24.400
 hear

00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:24.580
 that

00:26:24.580 --> 00:26:24.960
 rebels

00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:25.400
 need

00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:25.640
 to

00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:25.920
 hear

00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:26.080
 and

00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:26.520
 believe

00:26:26.520 --> 00:26:26.880
 in

00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:27.080
 order

00:26:27.080 --> 00:26:27.220
 to

00:26:27.220 --> 00:26:27.340
 be

00:26:27.340 --> 00:26:27.560
 brought

00:26:27.560 --> 00:26:27.780
 from

00:26:27.780 --> 00:26:28.060
 death

00:26:28.060 --> 00:26:28.260
 to

00:26:28.260 --> 00:26:28.580
 life

00:26:28.580 --> 00:26:28.980
 the

00:26:28.980 --> 00:26:29.280
 good

00:26:29.280 --> 00:26:29.560
 news

00:26:29.560 --> 00:26:29.720
 of

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:29.840
 the

00:26:29.840 --> 00:26:30.280
 gospel

00:26:30.280 --> 00:26:31.460
 is

00:26:31.460 --> 00:26:31.640
 that

00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:32.140
 God

00:26:32.140 --> 00:26:32.560
 the

00:26:32.560 --> 00:26:33.040
 king

00:26:33.040 --> 00:26:33.480
 by

00:26:36.380 --> 00:26:36.980
 the

00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:36.980


00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:36.980


00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:36.980


00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:37.840
 the

00:26:37.840 --> 00:26:36.980
 God

00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:37.840
 the

00:26:37.840 --> 00:26:41.860
 God

00:26:41.860 --> 00:26:42.380
 the

00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:42.860
 living

00:26:42.860 --> 00:26:43.480
 word

00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:43.780
 of

00:26:43.780 --> 00:26:44.120
 God

00:26:44.120 --> 00:26:44.480
 the

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:44.880
 word

00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:45.460
 became

00:26:45.460 --> 00:26:46.200
 flesh

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:47.040
 and

00:26:47.040 --> 00:26:47.340
 dwelt

00:26:47.340 --> 00:26:47.740
 among

00:26:47.740 --> 00:26:48.200
 us

00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:49.880
 and

00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:50.080
 this

00:26:50.080 --> 00:26:50.720
 word

00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:51.500
 incarnate

00:26:51.500 --> 00:26:52.680
 lived

00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:52.920
 in

00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:53.080
 our

00:26:53.080 --> 00:26:53.580
 place

00:26:53.580 --> 00:26:53.840
 he

00:26:53.840 --> 00:26:54.900
 died

00:26:54.900 --> 00:26:55.160
 a

00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:55.540
 rebels

00:26:55.540 --> 00:26:56.220
 death

00:26:56.220 --> 00:26:56.400
 that

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:56.580
 he

00:26:56.580 --> 00:26:56.880
 didn't

00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:57.280
 deserve

00:26:57.280 --> 00:26:57.480
 that

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:57.860
 our

00:26:57.860 --> 00:26:58.460
 punishment

00:26:58.460 --> 00:26:58.720
 that

00:26:58.720 --> 00:26:59.140
 our

00:26:59.140 --> 00:26:59.580
 guilt

00:26:59.580 --> 00:26:59.820
 that

00:26:59.820 --> 00:27:00.200
 our

00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:01.160
 death

00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:01.400
 that

00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:01.560
 that's

00:27:01.560 --> 00:27:01.940
 a

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:02.440
 sacrifice

00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:03.020
 made

00:27:03.020 --> 00:27:03.260
 for

00:27:03.260 --> 00:27:03.620
 rebels

00:27:03.620 --> 00:27:04.020
 and

00:27:04.020 --> 00:27:04.200
 he

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:04.800
 rose

00:27:04.800 --> 00:27:05.300
 for

00:27:05.300 --> 00:27:05.780
 us

00:27:05.779 --> 00:27:07.660
 so that by faith in Him,

00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.339
 rebels like us can become children of the living God.

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:16.859
 This God who is powerful to destroy

00:27:16.859 --> 00:27:19.200
 is powerful to deliver.

00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:20.460
 In fact, He's eager.

00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:23.379
 He's eager to deliver rebels.

00:27:25.579 --> 00:27:28.220
 Friend, the application here is obvious, isn't it?

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:34.579
 We must take heed to His word.

00:27:36.339 --> 00:27:42.799
 We must repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:49.920
 This is a call to marvel at the power of the word of the Lord,

00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:51.720
 to repent of your sin,

00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:54.599
 to trust in the living word of God.

00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:56.039
 And when you do,

00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:01.119
 look what awaits repentant rebels here in verses 10 and 11.

00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:04.019
 Look at this, how David closes out this psalm.

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:16.139
 It is peace and strength and blessing and security and life and joy forevermore

00:28:16.139 --> 00:28:18.920
 in the sovereign reign of the King.

00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.900
 This is the third and final command.

00:28:23.060 --> 00:28:28.660
 We are called third to come enjoy the blessing of His reign.

00:28:30.580 --> 00:28:35.400
 David describes the blessing of His kingship for those who believe at the end of this psalm.

00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:43.280
 He shows us all the things that rebels seek apart from the Lord can only be found in the Lord.

00:28:44.080 --> 00:28:49.720
 And they are poured out graciously and generously upon His people.

00:28:51.340 --> 00:28:54.820
 Friend, if you would seek a refuge from the flood of His wrath,

00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:56.160
 where will you find it?

00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:59.860
 If you would seek an escape from your guilt,

00:28:59.980 --> 00:29:01.040
 where will you turn?

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:06.180
 If you would escape the punishment that we are all due for our sin,

00:29:06.340 --> 00:29:08.860
 it is only found in Him.

00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:13.500
 Take refuge in the one who sits enthroned above the flood.

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:17.019
 We sometimes sing,

00:29:17.099 --> 00:29:19.299
 A mighty fortress is our God.

00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:22.220
 A bulwark never failing.

00:29:22.460 --> 00:29:28.000
 Our shelter, He amidst the flood of mortal ills prevailing.

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:31.720
 Friend, if you would seek someone to serve forever.

00:29:32.980 --> 00:29:35.160
 Someone who is worthy of your devotion.

00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:39.240
 Someone who will reign over you in love and justice.

00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.299
 Who will love you and lead you in righteousness forever.

00:29:42.299 --> 00:29:46.039
 Know that the Lord sits enthroned as King forever.

00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:49.480
 He will not be dethroned by any pain,

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:51.740
 by any trial,

00:29:51.919 --> 00:29:53.740
 by any sickness,

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:54.700
 by any loss,

00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:56.480
 by any rebellion.

00:29:58.220 --> 00:30:00.079
 If you would seek strength,

00:30:00.259 --> 00:30:02.500
 He is our strength.

00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:03.759
 If you would seek blessing,

00:30:03.940 --> 00:30:06.200
 all blessing is in Him.

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:07.659
 He's the source of all blessing.

00:30:07.779 --> 00:30:08.779
 If you would seek peace,

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:10.799
 He Himself is our peace.

00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:13.539
 Since we've been justified through faith in Christ,

00:30:13.659 --> 00:30:15.180
 we have peace with the Lord,

00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:16.839
 in our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:30:18.940 --> 00:30:22.740
 These are all blessings that only come from Him,

00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:27.680
 and He extends them to us freely in Christ.

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:33.120
 So He ends with His benediction here in verse 11.

00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:35.279
 May the Lord give strength to His people.

00:30:35.380 --> 00:30:38.820
 May the Lord bless His people with peace.

00:30:41.620 --> 00:30:44.920
 James Hamilton, reflecting on this psalm,

00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:45.279
 he wrote,

00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:57.740
 Jesus was baptized in the floodwaters of God's wrath at the cross,

00:30:57.740 --> 00:31:02.899
 so that all who are baptized in Him will never face that wrath for themselves.

00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:05.980
 He took it all.

00:31:05.980 --> 00:31:08.799
 And in doing so,

00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:10.920
 He purchased for all His people,

00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:15.759
 all the blessings of citizenship in the kingdom of God.

00:31:18.299 --> 00:31:20.720
 Friend, rebels like us need to be reminded that

00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:22.519
 peace and blessing,

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:24.200
 strength and joy,

00:31:24.360 --> 00:31:26.120
 security and eternal life

00:31:26.120 --> 00:31:30.700
 can only be found in joyful submission to King Jesus.

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:33.019
 Now for some of you,

00:31:33.059 --> 00:31:35.920
 that might be the first time that you've heard a call like that.

00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:38.080
 This call to give God glory,

00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:40.299
 that you belong to Him by right,

00:31:40.360 --> 00:31:41.559
 that you're made for Him.

00:31:42.019 --> 00:31:43.500
 Hear this invitation again,

00:31:43.819 --> 00:31:45.740
 repent of your sin and come to Christ.

00:31:47.860 --> 00:31:48.700
 But for all of us,

00:31:48.740 --> 00:31:49.660
 we know, don't we,

00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:52.220
 that we are all so prone to wonder.

00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.259
 We have this indwelling rebellion in our hearts.

00:31:57.259 --> 00:31:58.920
 We need to be reminded,

00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:01.300
 time and time and time again,

00:32:01.380 --> 00:32:04.539
 of the blessing of submitting to the reign of King Jesus.

00:32:06.539 --> 00:32:07.779
 The author of Hebrews,

00:32:08.380 --> 00:32:10.340
 seems like he was dealing with a similar issue.

00:32:10.460 --> 00:32:11.500
 It's always the same, isn't it?

00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:13.480
 Whether it's in the time of the flood,

00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:15.060
 or in the time of David,

00:32:15.300 --> 00:32:17.019
 in the New Testament early church,

00:32:17.100 --> 00:32:18.680
 or here in All in Dawn 2025,

00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:21.180
 rebels need to be reminded.

00:32:22.300 --> 00:32:25.720
 So I'll leave you with this word of warning and encouragement

00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:27.420
 this morning from Hebrews chapter 3.

00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:30.700
 Take care, brothers,

00:32:32.140 --> 00:32:35.860
 lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart,

00:32:36.380 --> 00:32:38.920
 leading you to fall away from the living God.

00:32:39.779 --> 00:32:42.460
 But exhort one another every day,

00:32:42.800 --> 00:32:44.539
 as long as it is called today,

00:32:44.700 --> 00:32:48.060
 that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

00:32:48.059 --> 00:32:51.019
 For we have come to share in Christ,

00:32:51.099 --> 00:32:55.019
 if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end,

00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:56.240
 as it is said,

00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:58.379
 today if you hear His voice,

00:32:59.339 --> 00:33:01.259
 do not harden your hearts,

00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:02.899
 as in the rebellion.

00:33:06.399 --> 00:33:08.359
 Church, today you have heard His voice.

00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:13.779
 You have heard His word.

00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:17.319
 Do not harden your hearts.

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:22.000
 Let's leave this place locking arms together,

00:33:22.259 --> 00:33:23.740
 exhorting one another,

00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:25.759
 as often as it is called today,

00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:30.399
 encouraging one another to ascribe to the Lord the glory He's due.

00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:33.360
 to heed His voice,

00:33:33.460 --> 00:33:35.980
 to trust in Christ as our only hope,

00:33:36.180 --> 00:33:37.320
 to cling to Him,

00:33:37.540 --> 00:33:43.800
 and then to rest and enjoy the glory of His reign now and forevermore.

00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:44.200
 Amen.

00:33:45.180 --> 00:33:45.620
 Let's pray.

00:33:45.619 --> 00:33:46.179
 Father,

00:33:47.179 --> 00:33:50.500
 we praise You for

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:53.979
 Your power in our life.

00:33:54.979 --> 00:33:56.599
 Lord, we praise You that

00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:57.939
 by Your word,

00:33:58.059 --> 00:34:00.279
 You have called sinners like us

00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:01.759
 into fellowship with You

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:03.899
 through Your Son, Jesus Christ.

00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:06.079
 We pray if there are any here who don't know You,

00:34:06.179 --> 00:34:08.920
 would You draw them to faith in Christ this morning?

00:34:09.019 --> 00:34:11.299
 Would You work that resurrection power in them

00:34:11.299 --> 00:34:12.519
 this very moment?

00:34:14.420 --> 00:34:15.579
 For the rest of us, Lord,

00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:19.099
 we pray that as we are so prone to wonder,

00:34:19.319 --> 00:34:20.059
 prone to rebel,

00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:22.739
 Lord, would You give us by Your grace

00:34:22.739 --> 00:34:25.460
 strength to heed Your voice

00:34:25.460 --> 00:34:27.219
 and ascribe to You the glory that You're due.

00:34:27.339 --> 00:34:28.420
 We pray this in Jesus' name.

00:34:29.420 --> 00:34:29.639
 Amen.
