00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:07.000
 We're going to begin our service singing in Psalm 93 from Sing Psalms, Psalm number 93, Sing Psalms.

00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:21.140
 It's on page 123.

00:00:21.140 --> 00:00:25.260
 The Lord is King, is throne in jewels, majestic in his height.

00:00:25.580 --> 00:00:29.800
 The Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength and might.

00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.399
 The world is founded, firm and sure, removed it cannot be.

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.320
 Your throne is strong and you are God from all eternity.

00:00:39.219 --> 00:00:42.799
 The seas, O Lord, have lifted up, they lifted up their voice.

00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.700
 The seas have lifted up their waves and made a mighty noise.

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:50.060
 The Lord enthroned on high is strong.

00:00:50.579 --> 00:00:56.340
 More powerful is he than thunder of the ocean waves or breakers of the sea.

00:00:56.340 --> 00:01:01.780
 Your royal statutes, Lord, stand firm and changing is your word.

00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.520
 And holiness adorns your house for endless days, O Lord.

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.520
 Psalm 93, the whole Psalm, the Lord is King.

00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:30.780
 The Lord is King, is throne in jewels, majestic in his height.

00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:47.040
 The Lord is King, is throne in majesty and arm with strength and might.

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.040
 The earth is King, is throne in majesty and arm with strength and might.

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:54.040
 The earth is King, is throne in majesty and arm with strength and might.

00:01:54.040 --> 00:02:01.040
 The earth is King, is throne in majesty and arm with strength and might.

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:06.040
 The earth is King, is throne in majesty and arm with strength and might.

00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.040
 The earth is tener to marche and gravity and arm with он in majesty and arm with strength and hands.

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.040
 The earth is King, is throne in majesty and arm with strength and arm with strength and de Sedans in majesty and arm with strength and amaze.

00:02:09.040 --> 00:02:10.040
 The earth is Gravel has lifted up hisanza in majesty and arm with strength and arm with strength.

00:02:10.040 --> 00:02:33.020
 The earth is Jeans in majesty and arm with strength and arm with strength and arm WITH strength and arm with strength and arm with strength and arm with strength and arm's vigor.

00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:38.020
 Take out their voice.

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:47.020
 The seas have lifted up their wings

00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:55.240
 and made a mighty noise.

00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:03.460
 The heart and throat are high,

00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:12.500
 is strong, more powerful is thee

00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:17.240
 than thunder on.

00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.740
 The oceans wait,

00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:28.740
 are ravers of the sea.

00:03:29.939 --> 00:03:34.740
 Pure for the statutes,

00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:38.740
 heart and firm,

00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:45.740
 and changing into word,

00:03:45.740 --> 00:03:54.740
 and holiness adores your hands,

00:03:54.740 --> 00:04:00.740
 for endless chains, O Lord.

00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:07.740
 Let us bow in prayer.

00:04:07.740 --> 00:04:13.740
 O Lord, we give thanks tonight that you are the God who are enthroned on high,

00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:17.740
 majestic, glorious, sovereign in your power.

00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:20.740
 We pray for the faith that will see this,

00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:24.740
 because without faith it is impossible to know it,

00:04:24.740 --> 00:04:26.740
 to believe it, to accept it.

00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:33.740
 But we give thanks, Lord, that where there is faith, that faith grows, that faith is enabled to strengthen,

00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:39.740
 and to delve into deeper things, and come to a greater persuasion and knowledge of your truth.

00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:48.740
 And we pray, O Lord, that we may praise you with all our heart, and that we may seek to exalt your name in praise,

00:04:48.740 --> 00:04:53.740
 exalt your name in our mind and in our hearts, in our lives.

00:04:53.740 --> 00:05:00.740
 We pray that even as we gather here together, that we may realize that we are in the presence of the King,

00:05:00.740 --> 00:05:04.740
 the one who is all-glorious, enthroned in glory and majesty,

00:05:04.740 --> 00:05:08.740
 who is worshipped eternally by the hosts of heaven,

00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:11.740
 and by the church here on earth.

00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:17.740
 We long for the day when we will all be together, encircled around that throne,

00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:22.740
 being led by the shepherd who is shepherding us even now,

00:05:22.740 --> 00:05:26.740
 but will shepherd us throughout an endless eternity.

00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:30.740
 And we pray, O Lord, that you will grant us grace as we wait upon you,

00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:33.740
 so that we will hear what God the Lord will speak,

00:05:33.740 --> 00:05:38.740
 that you will open our ears to hear, our hearts to understand,

00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:41.740
 our minds to lay hold upon the truth.

00:05:41.740 --> 00:05:43.740
 Keep away distracting thoughts,

00:05:43.740 --> 00:05:49.740
 because we know that we are more prone to wander in God's house than probably anywhere else.

00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:52.740
 Because so often when we come here, we don't come alone,

00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:56.740
 because the enemy of our soul will seek to distract us,

00:05:56.740 --> 00:05:58.740
 and take us away from the truth.

00:05:58.740 --> 00:06:04.740
 Take us away from this word, which makes us wise unto salvation,

00:06:04.740 --> 00:06:09.740
 because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

00:06:09.740 --> 00:06:13.740
 And so, Lord, we pray for receptive hearts,

00:06:13.740 --> 00:06:19.740
 hearts that are willing to be changed and transformed by the power of your own spirit.

00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:23.740
 And we pray that we may seek to become more Christ-like,

00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:26.740
 and forgive us, Lord, for when we don't.

00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:33.740
 Forgive us, Lord, when our actions betray the very confession that we make,

00:06:33.740 --> 00:06:38.740
 and where our speech betrays that confession as well.

00:06:38.740 --> 00:06:42.740
 O Lord, help us then to resemble Jesus more and more,

00:06:42.740 --> 00:06:47.740
 as your spirit works in us, conforming us more to the image of Christ.

00:06:47.740 --> 00:06:52.740
 We pray then that you will help us all as we wait upon you tonight.

00:06:52.740 --> 00:06:56.740
 And we ask that you will bless us.

00:06:56.740 --> 00:06:59.740
 It's a wonderful privilege to be blessed by God,

00:06:59.740 --> 00:07:02.740
 an enriching experience.

00:07:02.740 --> 00:07:07.740
 And we pray that we will be able to say, because we have been with God,

00:07:07.740 --> 00:07:10.740
 that it's been good for us to be here.

00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:14.740
 We pray for all who gather as we do tonight, up and down our land,

00:07:14.740 --> 00:07:17.740
 and indeed throughout the nations of this world.

00:07:17.740 --> 00:07:20.740
 And we realize with the different time zones,

00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:27.740
 that there is almost an encircling praise of God taking place throughout the whole world.

00:07:27.740 --> 00:07:31.740
 And we give thanks for that, for your people are many,

00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:34.740
 although we are often led to believe they are few.

00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:37.740
 We're given that picture in the book of Revelation,

00:07:37.740 --> 00:07:40.740
 of that great multitude that no one can number.

00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:47.740
 And so we give thanks, Lord, that you are taking in and gathering your church throughout all nations.

00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:50.740
 We pray then that you will help us and bless us.

00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:53.740
 We pray your blessing on the youth fellowship tonight.

00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:55.740
 We give thanks for our young people.

00:07:55.740 --> 00:08:00.740
 We pray, Lord, that you'll watch over them in the age that they grow up in,

00:08:00.740 --> 00:08:04.740
 an age where there are so many issues and difficulties ahead of them,

00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:12.740
 and where there are pressures that we as older people don't realize or understand.

00:08:12.740 --> 00:08:14.740
 And ask, Lord, that you will be with them.

00:08:14.740 --> 00:08:16.740
 Grant them grace and guidance,

00:08:16.740 --> 00:08:21.740
 and that the teaching that they have when they're young may be embedded in their heart.

00:08:21.740 --> 00:08:26.740
 For your word tells us, train up a child in the way that he'll go.

00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:29.740
 And when he's old, he will not depart from it.

00:08:29.740 --> 00:08:35.740
 And so we pray, Lord, to give thanks for the teachings that we've had.

00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:39.740
 And we pray that we might be ready to pass on what we have learned

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:42.740
 and what we have known to those who are younger.

00:08:42.740 --> 00:08:47.740
 And so we pray your blessing upon our young people here in the congregation.

00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:53.740
 And we give thanks, Lord, for all the work that is done amongst them.

00:08:53.740 --> 00:08:55.740
 Remember, as we say, the fellowship tonight.

00:08:55.740 --> 00:08:58.740
 Remember the Sunday school and the creche and the twinnies.

00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:05.740
 Remember the youth club and remember all the explorers and all the different work that goes on with our young.

00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:11.740
 Lord, our God, we remember those who have gone away to university and colleges and places of learning

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:16.740
 and to different maybe apprenticeships, different things away from home,

00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:19.740
 some for the first time adjusting to a new way of life.

00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:22.740
 Lord, we commit them to your care and keeping.

00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:25.740
 We give thanks for families.

00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:34.740
 Lord, we know that for some people, families, while bringing the greatest joy, for some they are nourishing great sorrow.

00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:41.740
 We pray for all those who know what it is like to have lost a member of their family.

00:09:41.740 --> 00:09:46.740
 And we realize that it is one of the most painful things in this world,

00:09:46.740 --> 00:09:54.740
 because we always expect that the younger will be the ones who will lay to rest the older.

00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:57.740
 But sometimes, sadly, it's the reverse.

00:09:57.740 --> 00:10:02.740
 And so we pray for all such tonight who grieve in a special way.

00:10:02.740 --> 00:10:08.740
 And we pray, Lord, that you will draw close to them and undertake for them and do them good.

00:10:08.740 --> 00:10:14.740
 We pray, Lord, to bless the congregation just now at a time of vacancy.

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:19.740
 Pray, Lord, in light of the vacancy committee and the meeting on Tuesday,

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:27.740
 that your wisdom and direction will be given and that throughout time it will become evident and clear in the way in which we're to go.

00:10:27.740 --> 00:10:33.740
 We pray your blessing upon Colin, who's intermoderated, and ask your blessing to be upon him and his leadership.

00:10:33.740 --> 00:10:34.740
 We give thanks for him.

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:41.740
 We pray for Colin Murdo and we pray your blessing upon him with the extra responsibilities that he has.

00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:44.740
 And we give thanks for bringing him here, Lord.

00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:47.740
 We pray for Joanne and the family.

00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:50.740
 We pray for Joanie and Marissa and Danny.

00:10:50.740 --> 00:11:00.740
 We pray, Lord, that you'll bless them as a time of a needed break comes up and that you will bring back safe and sound afterwards, refreshed.

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:11.740
 Lord our God, we pray to bless us nationally and internationally, particularly in light of the way that nationally we tend to be turning away from you more and more.

00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:22.740
 And where our leaders are set upon so often forgetting what you have to say and thinking only of what they have to say.

00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:29.740
 Oh, Lord, we pray to influence advisors to our politicians as well as the politicians themselves.

00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:34.740
 We pray, Lord, that heavenly wisdom will be given even when they don't ask for it.

00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:38.740
 But we pray, Lord, that we may see our duties.

00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:41.740
 We're told to pray for those in authority over us.

00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:43.740
 It is incumbent upon us.

00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:47.740
 And so we pray that we may be constantly doing so.

00:11:47.740 --> 00:11:55.740
 And help us, Lord, have a boldness in prayer and a faith in our prayer, a faith in prayer, that faith centered in you.

00:11:55.740 --> 00:11:57.740
 We pray then that you will bless us.

00:11:57.740 --> 00:12:04.740
 We pray as we saw there where Tesco are considering opening on the Lord's Day.

00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:09.740
 And we realize that that would have a huge impact upon our community.

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:23.740
 And we are aware first and foremost upon your day and what it brings to us, the day of rest that you have given to us for our bodies, our minds, but particularly our souls.

00:12:23.740 --> 00:12:27.740
 It would have far-reaching consequences.

00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:33.740
 And we pray, Lord, that they may reconsider this decision that they're making or about to make.

00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:46.740
 We pray, oh, Lord, that you will guide your people throughout this land and all the different places of occupation that you've placed them in, that there will be an influence for good there.

00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:49.740
 We pray for your church worldwide.

00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:58.740
 We pray for the persecuted church, particularly in lands of oppression, lands of darkness, lands where there is no gospel freedom.

00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:01.740
 Oh, Lord, deliver the persecuted even tonight.

00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:10.740
 Turn the persecutors into your followers in the same way as you turned Saul of Tarshish to become a great missionary.

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:13.740
 You are the unchanging God.

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:17.740
 We pray that you will guide us as we wait upon you.

00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:20.740
 And we pray that you will forgive us all our sin.

00:13:20.740 --> 00:13:28.740
 We confess our sin before you again, acknowledging that in so many different ways we let you down and we let ourselves down.

00:13:28.740 --> 00:13:33.740
 And so we ask that you will forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

00:13:33.740 --> 00:13:44.740
 Be with those who are going through difficult times in this particular time of their life, where their own world has been turned upside down.

00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:57.740
 Whether these troubles are physical or mental or whether they're social or family or financial or in whatever area, Lord, where there is a storm in their life.

00:13:57.740 --> 00:14:05.740
 We ask, Lord, that you will intervene and that you will calm the storm and that you will help them and that you will bless them.

00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:08.740
 Watch over us, then, Lord, as we wait upon you.

00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:10.740
 Cleanse us from our every sin.

00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:11.740
 In Jesus' name we ask it.

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:12.740
 Amen.

00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:16.740
 I'm going to sing again from Psalm 46 in the Scottish Psalter.

00:14:16.740 --> 00:14:20.740
 Psalm 46 in the Scottish Psalter, 1 to 7.

00:14:20.740 --> 00:14:23.740
 It's on page 271.

00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:29.740
 God is our refuge and our strength and streets of present aid.

00:14:29.740 --> 00:14:33.740
 Therefore, although the earth remove, we will not be afraid.

00:14:33.740 --> 00:14:37.740
 Though hills amidst the seas be cast, though waters roaring make.

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:42.740
 And troubled be, yea, though the hills by swelling cease to shake.

00:14:42.740 --> 00:14:50.740
 A river is whose streams do glad the city of our God, the holy place wherein the Lord Most High hath his abode.

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:52.740
 God in the midst of her doth dwell.

00:14:52.740 --> 00:14:54.740
 Nothing shall her remove.

00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:59.740
 The Lord to her unhelper will, and that right early prove.

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:02.740
 To the end of verse 7, Psalm 46, 1 to 7.

00:15:02.740 --> 00:15:05.740
 God is our refuge and our strength.

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:06.740
 It mandates a blessed shining peace, people ofabad.

00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:08.740
 Of the light earth follow yippee who doesn't belong peace.

00:15:08.740 --> 00:15:10.740
 That made us, people of God, indeed woogue, the blood behind us and cannot жив that provinusið,

00:15:10.740 --> 00:15:12.740
 God has them as we many ast misleading as paths are not estarful as any of our solidMIN.

00:15:12.740 --> 00:15:19.200
 The heavy chamber shed

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:26.460
 His grace of present day

00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:35.560
 Let one of all the earth remove

00:15:35.560 --> 00:15:42.100
 We will not be afraid

00:15:42.100 --> 00:15:48.659
 Though hills are mixed

00:15:48.659 --> 00:15:52.920
 The seas becast

00:15:52.920 --> 00:16:00.040
 Though waters owing gray

00:16:00.040 --> 00:16:04.980
 And travel deep

00:16:04.980 --> 00:16:09.540
 In all the hills

00:16:09.539 --> 00:16:17.099
 High spreading seas to shame

00:16:17.099 --> 00:16:26.539
 I've been the hills to streams to climb

00:16:26.539 --> 00:16:34.099
 The saving of the God

00:16:34.099 --> 00:16:39.199
 The holy place

00:16:39.199 --> 00:16:43.539
 With the Lord

00:16:43.539 --> 00:16:51.099
 Who's time hath it's a home

00:16:51.100 --> 00:17:00.659
 How in the midst of heart of death

00:17:00.659 --> 00:17:07.660
 Nothing shall I remove

00:17:07.660 --> 00:17:15.220
 The Lord to her

00:17:15.220 --> 00:17:17.220
 And ever will

00:17:17.220 --> 00:17:24.220
 And love my journey through

00:17:24.220 --> 00:17:27.220
 The heath

00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:34.779
 Even which should not just be

00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:41.779
 The kingdom's do it where

00:17:41.779 --> 00:17:45.220
 The Lord

00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:48.339
 God of heaven

00:17:48.339 --> 00:17:51.899
 There in his voice

00:17:51.899 --> 00:17:53.899
 The heath

00:17:53.899 --> 00:17:55.899
 He hath it

00:17:55.899 --> 00:17:57.899
 For fear

00:17:57.899 --> 00:18:02.899
 The Lord

00:18:02.899 --> 00:18:05.159
 Our host

00:18:05.159 --> 00:18:08.899
 Upon our side

00:18:08.900 --> 00:18:16.460
 That constantly remain

00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:22.640
 The God of Jacob's

00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.920
 Our refuge

00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:32.460
 Has safely to maintain

00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:39.539
 Let us turn now to read God's word

00:18:39.539 --> 00:18:41.680
 In the gospel of Mark chapter 4

00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:43.720
 Mark chapter 4

00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.200
 And we pick up a reading at verse 21

00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:47.700
 Mark 4

00:18:47.700 --> 00:18:49.019
 Verse 21

00:18:49.019 --> 00:18:57.379
 And he

00:18:57.379 --> 00:18:58.139
 That's Jesus

00:18:58.139 --> 00:18:58.980
 Said to them

00:18:58.980 --> 00:19:01.480
 Is a lamp brought in

00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:02.920
 To be put under a basket

00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:04.559
 Or under a bed

00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:05.920
 And not on a stand

00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:07.879
 For nothing is hidden

00:19:07.879 --> 00:19:09.879
 Except to be made manifest

00:19:09.879 --> 00:19:12.559
 Nor is anything secret

00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.799
 Except to come to light

00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.259
 If anyone has ears to hear

00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:18.259
 Let him hear

00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:20.180
 And he said to them

00:19:20.180 --> 00:19:21.240
 Pay attention

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.440
 To what you hear

00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:24.079
 With the measure

00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:25.019
 You use it

00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:26.759
 It will be measured to you

00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:28.299
 And still more

00:19:28.299 --> 00:19:29.460
 Will be added to you

00:19:29.460 --> 00:19:31.680
 For to the one who has

00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:33.059
 More will be given

00:19:33.059 --> 00:19:35.319
 And from the one who has not

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:37.200
 Even what he has

00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:38.220
 Will be taken away

00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:40.079
 And he said

00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:41.180
 The kingdom of God

00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:42.220
 Is as a man

00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:43.819
 Should scatter seed

00:19:43.819 --> 00:19:44.420
 In the ground

00:19:44.420 --> 00:19:46.000
 He sleeps

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:47.879
 And rises night and day

00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:49.700
 And the seed sprouts

00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:50.480
 And grows

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:52.140
 He knows not how

00:19:52.140 --> 00:19:53.940
 The earth produces

00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:54.900
 By itself

00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:56.340
 First the blade

00:19:56.340 --> 00:19:57.380
 Then the ear

00:19:57.380 --> 00:19:58.940
 Then the full grain

00:19:58.940 --> 00:19:59.640
 In the ear

00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:01.140
 But when the grain

00:20:01.140 --> 00:20:01.680
 Is ripe

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:03.340
 At once he puts in

00:20:03.340 --> 00:20:03.880
 The sickle

00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:05.260
 Because the harvest

00:20:05.260 --> 00:20:05.820
 Has come

00:20:05.820 --> 00:20:08.100
 And he said

00:20:08.100 --> 00:20:09.980
 With what can we compare

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:11.180
 The kingdom of God

00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:12.900
 Or what parable

00:20:12.900 --> 00:20:14.280
 Shall we use for it

00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:16.119
 It is like a grain

00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:17.139
 Of mustard seed

00:20:17.139 --> 00:20:17.980
 Which when

00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:19.099
 Sown on the ground

00:20:19.099 --> 00:20:20.539
 Is the smallest

00:20:20.539 --> 00:20:21.720
 Of all the seeds

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:22.279
 On earth

00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:24.539
 Yet when it is sown

00:20:24.539 --> 00:20:25.980
 It grows up

00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:27.019
 And becomes larger

00:20:27.019 --> 00:20:28.759
 Than all the garden plants

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:30.180
 And puts out

00:20:30.180 --> 00:20:31.039
 Large branches

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:32.859
 So that the birds

00:20:32.859 --> 00:20:33.460
 Of the air

00:20:33.460 --> 00:20:34.420
 Can make nests

00:20:34.420 --> 00:20:35.339
 In its shade

00:20:35.339 --> 00:20:37.960
 With many such parables

00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:39.119
 He spoke the word

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:39.579
 To them

00:20:39.579 --> 00:20:40.759
 As they were able

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:41.420
 To hear it

00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:43.120
 He did not speak

00:20:43.120 --> 00:20:43.480
 To them

00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:44.480
 Without a parable

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:46.060
 But privately

00:20:46.060 --> 00:20:47.460
 To his own disciples

00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:49.019
 He explained everything

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:51.380
 On that day

00:20:51.380 --> 00:20:52.800
 When evening had come

00:20:52.800 --> 00:20:53.660
 He said to them

00:20:53.660 --> 00:20:55.460
 Let us go across

00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:56.700
 To the other side

00:20:56.700 --> 00:20:58.779
 And leaving the crowd

00:20:58.779 --> 00:21:00.300
 They took him with them

00:21:00.300 --> 00:21:02.000
 In the boat

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:03.800
 Just as he was

00:21:03.800 --> 00:21:05.380
 And other boats

00:21:05.380 --> 00:21:06.039
 Were with him

00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:08.340
 And a great windstorm

00:21:08.340 --> 00:21:08.860
 Arose

00:21:08.860 --> 00:21:10.039
 And the waves

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:10.700
 Were breaking

00:21:10.700 --> 00:21:11.539
 Into the boat

00:21:11.539 --> 00:21:12.580
 So that the boat

00:21:12.580 --> 00:21:13.559
 Was already filling

00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:16.059
 But he was in the stern

00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:17.460
 Asleep in the cushion

00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:19.319
 And they woke him

00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:20.100
 And said to him

00:21:20.100 --> 00:21:20.500
 Teacher

00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:21.880
 Do you not care

00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:22.880
 That we are perishing

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.019
 And he awoke

00:21:25.019 --> 00:21:26.680
 And rebuked the wind

00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:28.620
 And said to the sea

00:21:28.620 --> 00:21:29.220
 Peace

00:21:29.220 --> 00:21:30.420
 Be still

00:21:30.420 --> 00:21:32.779
 And the wind ceased

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:34.140
 And there was a great calm

00:21:34.140 --> 00:21:36.100
 And he said to them

00:21:36.100 --> 00:21:37.880
 Why are you so afraid?

00:21:38.620 --> 00:21:39.460
 Have you still

00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:40.319
 No faith?

00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:42.140
 And they were filled

00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:43.079
 With great fear

00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:44.940
 And said to one another

00:21:44.940 --> 00:21:46.940
 Who then is this

00:21:46.940 --> 00:21:48.559
 That even the wind

00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:49.340
 And sea

00:21:49.340 --> 00:21:50.160
 Obeying?

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:51.480
 Amen

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:52.680
 And may God bless to us

00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:54.079
 This reading of his holy word

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:56.179
 I'm going to sing again

00:21:56.179 --> 00:21:57.119
 Sing psalm

00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:58.619

00:21:58.619 --> 00:22:01.000
 From verse 13

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:03.559
 To the end of the psalm

00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.199
 Psalm 77

00:22:06.199 --> 00:22:08.299
 From verse 13

00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:09.500
 And sing psalms

00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:10.779
 It's on page 100

00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:14.500
 O God

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:16.220
 Most holy are your ways

00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:18.220
 What God compares with you

00:22:18.220 --> 00:22:20.160
 You are the God of miracles

00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.319
 Whose power the nations view

00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:25.259
 You have redeemed your people Lord

00:22:25.259 --> 00:22:27.039
 With your almighty arm

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:29.759
 Jacob and Joseph's children

00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:32.000
 You delivered from all harm

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.180
 The water saw you

00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:35.139
 O my God

00:22:35.139 --> 00:22:37.420
 They saw and writhed in pain

00:22:37.420 --> 00:22:40.700
 The very depths became convulsed

00:22:40.700 --> 00:22:43.019
 The clouds poured down the rain

00:22:43.019 --> 00:22:46.160
 The thunder rolled across the skies

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:48.600
 As lightning bolts were hurled

00:22:48.600 --> 00:22:51.200
 Your thunder in the wind was heard

00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:53.580
 Your lightning lit the world

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:56.519
 The whole earth trembled then and quaked

00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:59.059
 Your path was through the sea

00:22:59.059 --> 00:23:01.859
 Your way through mighty waters led

00:23:01.859 --> 00:23:04.619
 Your footprints none could see

00:23:04.619 --> 00:23:06.960
 Your people like a flock of sheep

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.759
 You guided every day

00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:11.419
 By Moses and by Aaron's hand

00:23:11.419 --> 00:23:13.139
 You led them on the way

00:23:13.139 --> 00:23:14.980
 Verses 13 to the end

00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:16.099
 Psalm 77

00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:18.980
 O God most holy are your ways

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:37.259
 Of the comfishing years

00:23:37.259 --> 00:23:44.299
 You are the God of miracles

00:23:44.299 --> 00:23:49.299
 Whose power the nations view

00:23:49.299 --> 00:23:59.619
 You have redeemed your people Lord

00:23:59.619 --> 00:24:03.460
 And their reign

00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:11.299
 The thunder rolled across the skies

00:24:11.299 --> 00:24:18.299
 As lightning bolts were hurled

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:26.180
 Your thunder in the wind was heard

00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:32.299
 Your lightning lit the world

00:24:32.299 --> 00:24:40.299
 The thunder tremble men and wings

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:47.299
 Your path was through the sea

00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:55.539
 Your way through mighty waters led

00:24:55.539 --> 00:25:01.299
 Your footprints and blue sea

00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:16.460

00:25:29.299 --> 00:25:29.779
 Amen.

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:44.539
 Let's turn again to the chapter we read in Mark chapter 4 and from verse 35, a very well-known section of God's word.

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:51.440
 Verse 35, on that day when evening had come, he said to them, let us go across to the other side.

00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:57.440
 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat just as he was.

00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:06.200
 And other boats were with them and a great windstorm arose and the waves were breaking into the boat.

00:26:06.740 --> 00:26:08.240
 So the boat was already filling.

00:26:09.220 --> 00:26:11.360
 But he was in the stern asleep in the cushion.

00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:16.779
 And they woke and said to him, teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?

00:26:17.860 --> 00:26:22.759
 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, peace be still.

00:26:23.320 --> 00:26:26.880
 And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:30.460
 And he said to them, why are you so afraid?

00:26:31.080 --> 00:26:32.420
 Have you still no faith?

00:26:33.080 --> 00:26:40.640
 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, who then is this that even the wind and the sea obey him?

00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:45.860
 As you can see, these were busy days for Jesus.

00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:50.700
 He was constantly teaching and preaching and he did so with great authority.

00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:58.120
 We're told elsewhere that his teaching was not like the scribes or the Pharisees, that he taught as one with authority.

00:26:59.280 --> 00:27:01.700
 And so there was this constant teaching.

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:04.860
 And of course, also along with the teaching, there was a lot of healing.

00:27:04.859 --> 00:27:12.299
 So in the evening, he leaves the crowd beside and he says, we're going to go to the other side.

00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:18.199
 And he, along with the disciples, set off across the Sea of Galilee.

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:21.479
 It doesn't tell us what the weather was like when they left.

00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:31.059
 But it tells us what happened as they were on their way across, that there came this great windstorm, a great windstorm arose.

00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:34.980
 So it would look like it was just a normal, calm evening when they left.

00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:39.660
 But then the weather changed dramatically on the way over.

00:27:39.660 --> 00:27:45.759
 And I'm sure we've all been at sea one time or another when it's been wild.

00:27:46.460 --> 00:27:57.900
 And we know what it's like with the howling of the wind, it's whistling, the waves are surging and the boat is rocking backwards and forwards and side to side.

00:27:57.900 --> 00:28:06.600
 And nobody likes being out in a storm, but I'm sure we would all prefer being on land during a storm.

00:28:06.700 --> 00:28:10.900
 At least it's firm ground underneath rather than being out on sea.

00:28:12.120 --> 00:28:15.420
 But anyway, here is, it's a ferocious night.

00:28:15.420 --> 00:28:25.620
 And it's so bad that the disciples are beginning to become fearful and frightened that the boat is going to end up sinking.

00:28:25.779 --> 00:28:31.320
 Because it tells us that the waves were coming into the boat and the boat was beginning to fill up.

00:28:32.380 --> 00:28:39.779
 And we've got to remember that the disciples, by and large, at least a good number of them, they weren't inexperienced in the waters.

00:28:39.940 --> 00:28:41.620
 They were seasoned sailors.

00:28:41.779 --> 00:28:43.820
 They were fishermen by trade.

00:28:43.819 --> 00:28:57.519
 And in fact, the likes of Peter and his brother Andrew and James and John, they were fishermen who had fished these waters day in, day out until they left their nets to follow Jesus.

00:28:58.700 --> 00:29:03.379
 So if anybody knew these waters, like the back of their hand, it was these disciples.

00:29:04.779 --> 00:29:06.700
 And yet they're terrified, they're petrified.

00:29:07.339 --> 00:29:09.799
 And they feel that their end is coming.

00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:17.319
 And in desperation, we find that they go to find Jesus.

00:29:17.980 --> 00:29:19.119
 And we find Jesus.

00:29:19.419 --> 00:29:20.299
 It's very interesting.

00:29:20.500 --> 00:29:22.359
 We find him in verse 38.

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:27.539
 It tells us that he was in the stern asleep on the cushion.

00:29:28.399 --> 00:29:29.119
 On the cushion.

00:29:30.379 --> 00:29:32.759
 And just a couple of observations along the way.

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:41.379
 And the first thing we notice here, where we find Jesus asleep here, is pointing to the humanity of Jesus.

00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:45.400
 Jesus is the Son of God.

00:29:45.740 --> 00:29:47.519
 God of very God.

00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:50.660
 Equal in power and glory to the Father.

00:29:50.660 --> 00:29:58.759
 And yet in order to become one for us and one with us, he had to take human nature.

00:29:59.620 --> 00:30:02.540
 Come into this world and be one with us.

00:30:03.259 --> 00:30:08.100
 And by taking human nature, he took our nature apart from sin.

00:30:09.380 --> 00:30:16.380
 And so we find that all the infirmity of our humanness was part of Jesus' life.

00:30:16.380 --> 00:30:26.380
 He experienced hunger and thirst and pain, physical pain, mental pain, emotional pain.

00:30:26.780 --> 00:30:29.840
 Everything that we experience apart from sin.

00:30:29.980 --> 00:30:31.720
 He experienced temptation.

00:30:32.220 --> 00:30:32.580
 Everything.

00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.920
 But as God, we know that God neither slumbers nor sleeps.

00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.180
 So it's here we see the humanity of Jesus.

00:30:41.380 --> 00:30:46.580
 And we know that Jesus had spent the days teaching and healing.

00:30:47.660 --> 00:30:54.220
 And you and I know that if we're very, very busy, and particularly if you're giving of yourself constantly,

00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:56.640
 that you become exhausted.

00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:57.620
 You become tired.

00:30:57.619 --> 00:31:06.799
 And so we find that Jesus is displaying the exhaustion of humanity by simply falling asleep.

00:31:07.439 --> 00:31:12.599
 And he's sleeping in the storm at the stern of the boat.

00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:19.139
 And we've got to remember that this Jesus that we see here is the same Jesus tonight.

00:31:19.619 --> 00:31:20.759
 He hasn't changed.

00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:28.240
 And he understands all our weaknesses because he has journeyed this world in our nature.

00:31:28.579 --> 00:31:33.500
 In fact, he still, he has risen in our nature and continues in our nature forever.

00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:40.359
 But he understands our weaknesses, our pains, our sorrows, our temptations.

00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:43.460
 And that means that we must go to Jesus.

00:31:43.460 --> 00:31:50.860
 Jesus, you and I know, if you go through some pain or sorrow in life, some difficulty,

00:31:52.539 --> 00:31:57.940
 you want to be, it's always easier to share your experience with somebody

00:31:57.940 --> 00:32:01.180
 who's gone through a similar experience to yours.

00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:06.380
 Because you know that they'll understand exactly what you're saying.

00:32:06.380 --> 00:32:12.280
 Because you can share your experience with someone who might be very sympathetic

00:32:12.280 --> 00:32:15.020
 and very understanding by nature,

00:32:15.340 --> 00:32:19.720
 but they cannot follow your experience because they've never been there.

00:32:21.340 --> 00:32:24.180
 But when you meet somebody who can identify totally,

00:32:25.020 --> 00:32:27.020
 it's helpful, isn't it?

00:32:27.660 --> 00:32:29.120
 Well, that's the thing about Jesus.

00:32:29.600 --> 00:32:31.740
 That's why it's so important to go to him.

00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:37.599
 Because he understands in a way and in a measure that nobody else can or nobody else is able to.

00:32:39.180 --> 00:32:43.120
 And so it's important that we make our way to Jesus.

00:32:44.380 --> 00:32:48.099
 And again, the other thing we see about Jesus asleep in the boat

00:32:48.099 --> 00:32:52.220
 is that he is completely trusting in his heavenly father.

00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:59.339
 Because in our nature, Jesus lived in absolute dependence upon the father,

00:32:59.339 --> 00:33:00.680
 filled with the spirit.

00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:07.700
 He wasn't exercising, as it were, his divine nature in this world.

00:33:08.339 --> 00:33:10.559
 Yes, he's divine, but he was also human.

00:33:11.220 --> 00:33:14.599
 And he was exercising, he was living as a human,

00:33:15.180 --> 00:33:19.720
 but his life was lived in absolute dependence and trust in his father.

00:33:20.779 --> 00:33:22.240
 That's why he was sleeping like a baby.

00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:26.599
 Jesus knew that he was going to die, but not in a boating tragedy.

00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:29.319
 He knew his time hadn't come.

00:33:30.059 --> 00:33:32.519
 He had a lot of work yet to do for the father.

00:33:33.199 --> 00:33:40.319
 And so he's resting completely trusting in his heavenly father.

00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:48.319
 And it's interesting here because it's very obvious that the disciples weren't trusting in Jesus.

00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:52.899
 Jesus is trusting in his father, but they're not trusting in him.

00:33:53.899 --> 00:33:56.899
 Because what did Jesus say at the very beginning of the thing?

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:57.299
 He said,

00:33:57.299 --> 00:34:05.960
 That's the word of Jesus.

00:34:06.700 --> 00:34:08.860
 We're going over to the other side.

00:34:08.860 --> 00:34:12.640
 Now, if they had faith in Jesus,

00:34:13.240 --> 00:34:16.480
 and they were trusting in Jesus in the storm,

00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:18.280
 they would have said,

00:34:18.820 --> 00:34:20.019
 We're going to come through this,

00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:23.820
 because the Lord has given his word that we're going to the other side.

00:34:23.820 --> 00:34:28.340
 And you and I know that it's often when we're given a promise from the Lord

00:34:28.340 --> 00:34:30.580
 that we're tested in that very thing.

00:34:31.220 --> 00:34:32.380
 Well, they were being tested,

00:34:33.019 --> 00:34:34.440
 and they fell badly.

00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.320
 No wonder Jesus said to them at the end,

00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:38.559
 Why are you so afraid?

00:34:38.900 --> 00:34:40.600
 Have you still no faith?

00:34:42.220 --> 00:34:45.039
 Because they were not trusting in Jesus.

00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:47.940
 And so they come to Jesus,

00:34:48.100 --> 00:34:49.039
 and they say to him,

00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:52.500
 Teacher, do you not care that we're perishing?

00:34:52.500 --> 00:34:53.619
 We're doomed.

00:34:54.579 --> 00:34:55.159
 It's more or less,

00:34:55.460 --> 00:34:57.320
 Next wave could be our last.

00:34:58.980 --> 00:35:00.780
 You know, it's very interesting again,

00:35:01.260 --> 00:35:03.639
 just by way of observation here.

00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:06.460
 Here are the disciples,

00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.659
 and they're terrified, they're afraid.

00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:11.800
 And Jesus is asleep,

00:35:12.260 --> 00:35:15.199
 but Jesus is going to care for them and provide for them,

00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:16.679
 and still the storm.

00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:20.280
 There was a day when almost,

00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:22.239
 it's not that the roles were reversed,

00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:28.019
 but when Jesus was facing his washed time on this world,

00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:30.780
 you go to the garden of Gethsemane,

00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:32.159
 and he took three disciples,

00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:33.119
 three that were here,

00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:34.780
 Peter, James, and John with him,

00:35:34.780 --> 00:35:36.820
 and he told them,

00:35:36.860 --> 00:35:38.540
 my soul is now troubled.

00:35:39.600 --> 00:35:42.240
 And on the floor of Gethsemane Garden,

00:35:42.380 --> 00:35:43.019
 he sweated,

00:35:43.120 --> 00:35:43.560
 as it were,

00:35:43.640 --> 00:35:44.560
 drops of blood.

00:35:44.860 --> 00:35:46.700
 He was in such agony of soul.

00:35:47.019 --> 00:35:49.040
 But before he left the three disciples

00:35:49.040 --> 00:35:50.640
 to go on to his own,

00:35:50.680 --> 00:35:51.620
 what did he say to them?

00:35:52.160 --> 00:35:53.500
 You stay here.

00:35:54.220 --> 00:35:55.580
 Watch and pray.

00:35:57.040 --> 00:35:58.620
 Jesus sent them,

00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:00.200
 left them there to pray.

00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:02.480
 When he came back,

00:36:02.699 --> 00:36:03.699
 how did he find them?

00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:06.319
 They were all sound asleep.

00:36:07.619 --> 00:36:10.879
 And there's almost an irony in what we see here.

00:36:12.219 --> 00:36:14.159
 That these very disciples who are

00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:18.460
 wakening up Jesus from his sleep

00:36:18.460 --> 00:36:19.779
 are the very disciples

00:36:19.779 --> 00:36:21.859
 who were sound asleep

00:36:21.859 --> 00:36:23.659
 when he needed them most

00:36:23.659 --> 00:36:25.539
 to be with them and praying.

00:36:25.539 --> 00:36:29.059
 But before we come to

00:36:29.059 --> 00:36:32.239
 see Christ's reaction to the storm,

00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:34.420
 I think it's important to say that

00:36:34.420 --> 00:36:37.500
 although Jesus has taken the disciples on board

00:36:37.500 --> 00:36:39.599
 and they're crossing over to the other side,

00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:41.579
 a storm,

00:36:41.940 --> 00:36:43.480
 we mustn't assume

00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:45.679
 because Christ is on board

00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:47.320
 that there will be no storm.

00:36:48.659 --> 00:36:50.820
 And that's true in our journey

00:36:50.820 --> 00:36:51.759
 through this life.

00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:53.279
 There are some people who think

00:36:53.279 --> 00:36:54.840
 that the moment you become a Christian,

00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:55.640
 that's it.

00:36:56.019 --> 00:36:56.440
 Life is,

00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:57.720
 life's easy now.

00:36:57.840 --> 00:36:58.880
 Life's a bed of roses.

00:36:59.460 --> 00:37:00.559
 That's the end of troubles,

00:37:00.740 --> 00:37:01.120
 trials.

00:37:01.940 --> 00:37:02.720
 And in fact,

00:37:02.780 --> 00:37:03.740
 it's one of the things

00:37:03.740 --> 00:37:05.079
 that Jesus tells us

00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:06.480
 assuredly

00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:07.680
 that

00:37:07.680 --> 00:37:09.039
 us Christians

00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:10.980
 that we will have troubles,

00:37:11.140 --> 00:37:11.900
 we will have trials.

00:37:12.059 --> 00:37:12.960
 In this world,

00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:13.380
 he says,

00:37:13.640 --> 00:37:15.160
 you will have tribulation,

00:37:15.340 --> 00:37:16.680
 but be of good cheer.

00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:18.519
 I have overcome the world.

00:37:19.680 --> 00:37:21.620
 The troubles that afflict the just

00:37:21.619 --> 00:37:22.839
 in number

00:37:22.839 --> 00:37:23.719
 many be,

00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:25.659
 but yet at length

00:37:25.659 --> 00:37:26.859
 out of them all,

00:37:27.659 --> 00:37:28.420
 the Lord

00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:30.039
 does set him free.

00:37:30.339 --> 00:37:31.599
 Out of them all.

00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:33.599
 And so we see that

00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:35.339
 Jesus here

00:37:35.339 --> 00:37:36.279
 on board

00:37:36.279 --> 00:37:37.039
 doesn't mean

00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:38.099
 that there will

00:37:38.099 --> 00:37:39.480
 be no storm.

00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:40.159
 You see,

00:37:40.219 --> 00:37:41.059
 we can't avoid

00:37:41.059 --> 00:37:42.139
 troubles

00:37:42.139 --> 00:37:43.599
 and storms

00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:44.299
 in life

00:37:44.300 --> 00:37:46.120
 because we live,

00:37:46.240 --> 00:37:46.780
 as we know,

00:37:46.900 --> 00:37:48.280
 in a world

00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:49.840
 that is filled

00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:51.360
 with difficult troubles

00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:52.580
 and difficult traumas.

00:37:53.240 --> 00:37:53.920
 And maybe tonight

00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:54.460
 for you,

00:37:54.900 --> 00:37:55.680
 maybe some of you

00:37:55.680 --> 00:37:56.260
 are going through

00:37:56.260 --> 00:37:56.840
 your own

00:37:56.840 --> 00:37:58.400
 personal storms.

00:37:59.740 --> 00:37:59.840
 Maybe,

00:38:00.120 --> 00:38:00.360
 you know,

00:38:00.420 --> 00:38:00.700
 sometimes

00:38:00.700 --> 00:38:02.760
 we're very bad

00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:04.060
 at looking at

00:38:04.060 --> 00:38:05.019
 other people's lives

00:38:05.019 --> 00:38:06.120
 and saying to ourselves,

00:38:06.500 --> 00:38:06.760
 oh, you know,

00:38:06.820 --> 00:38:07.440
 they've got a

00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:08.440
 trouble-free life.

00:38:08.620 --> 00:38:09.300
 We don't know.

00:38:10.700 --> 00:38:11.420
 The very person

00:38:11.420 --> 00:38:12.080
 that you think

00:38:12.080 --> 00:38:12.640
 might have a

00:38:12.640 --> 00:38:13.940
 trouble-free life

00:38:13.940 --> 00:38:15.320
 might be a person

00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:16.280
 who has many,

00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:17.079
 many issues

00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:18.099
 and troubles

00:38:18.099 --> 00:38:18.960
 and traumas

00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.159
 and personal sorrows

00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:22.280
 that you and I

00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:23.220
 don't know about.

00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:25.039
 So we've got to be

00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:25.800
 very careful

00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:27.019
 in making our

00:38:27.019 --> 00:38:27.980
 assessments and

00:38:27.980 --> 00:38:28.400
 judgments

00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:29.880
 about other people.

00:38:31.099 --> 00:38:32.019
 But tonight,

00:38:32.220 --> 00:38:33.980
 if you are here

00:38:33.980 --> 00:38:34.480
 and you're going

00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:35.440
 through your troubles

00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:36.340
 and you're going

00:38:36.340 --> 00:38:37.400
 through storms

00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:38.360
 in your own life,

00:38:39.099 --> 00:38:40.019
 remember that

00:38:40.019 --> 00:38:41.079
 Jesus

00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:42.380
 is

00:38:42.380 --> 00:38:43.240
 the one

00:38:43.240 --> 00:38:43.820
 who cares.

00:38:43.940 --> 00:38:46.300
 because

00:38:46.300 --> 00:38:47.320
 here

00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:48.780
 it appears

00:38:48.780 --> 00:38:49.179
 as if

00:38:49.179 --> 00:38:49.599
 Jesus

00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:51.039
 isn't bothering.

00:38:52.019 --> 00:38:53.159
 It appears

00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:53.900
 at this moment

00:38:53.900 --> 00:38:54.440
 as if,

00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:55.099
 well,

00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:56.200
 Jesus is asleep.

00:38:57.139 --> 00:38:58.059
 That's the criticism

00:38:58.059 --> 00:38:58.900
 that the disciples

00:38:58.900 --> 00:38:59.500
 have of him.

00:38:59.700 --> 00:39:00.380
 You're asleep.

00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:01.059
 You're sleeping.

00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:02.039
 Here we are

00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:03.240
 facing death.

00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:04.360
 Next moment

00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:05.300
 could be the last.

00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:06.539
 What are you doing

00:39:06.539 --> 00:39:07.000
 about it?

00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:07.679
 You're sleeping.

00:39:08.820 --> 00:39:09.079
 And there's

00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:10.280
 almost a kind of a,

00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:12.220
 there's a criticism

00:39:12.220 --> 00:39:14.740
 in their attack

00:39:14.740 --> 00:39:15.360
 on Jesus

00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:16.360
 when they said,

00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:16.680
 Master,

00:39:17.019 --> 00:39:18.380
 do you not care?

00:39:20.560 --> 00:39:21.200
 You know,

00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:22.120
 that's probably

00:39:22.120 --> 00:39:22.740
 one of the most

00:39:22.740 --> 00:39:23.740
 harsh statements

00:39:23.740 --> 00:39:24.620
 that could ever be

00:39:24.620 --> 00:39:26.100
 said about Jesus.

00:39:26.640 --> 00:39:28.100
 Do you not care?

00:39:28.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 Why was Jesus

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.900
 in the boat?

00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:33.360
 Why did Jesus

00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:34.579
 come into this world?

00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:37.179
 Because he cared.

00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:39.139
 If Jesus didn't care,

00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:39.839
 he wouldn't have come

00:39:39.839 --> 00:39:40.539
 to this world.

00:39:40.839 --> 00:39:41.960
 There would be no gospel.

00:39:42.259 --> 00:39:43.059
 We wouldn't be meeting

00:39:43.059 --> 00:39:43.839
 here tonight.

00:39:44.279 --> 00:39:44.860
 There wouldn't be

00:39:44.860 --> 00:39:45.860
 any hope for us.

00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:46.659
 We'd have been

00:39:46.659 --> 00:39:47.719
 left to our shelves.

00:39:49.179 --> 00:39:50.099
 But it's because

00:39:50.099 --> 00:39:51.420
 God the Father cared.

00:39:52.059 --> 00:39:52.460
 It's because

00:39:52.460 --> 00:39:53.799
 God the Son cared.

00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:56.080
 That's why Jesus

00:39:56.080 --> 00:39:57.720
 came into this world.

00:39:58.760 --> 00:39:59.740
 So you can see

00:39:59.740 --> 00:40:00.460
 how wrong

00:40:00.460 --> 00:40:01.560
 the disciples were

00:40:01.560 --> 00:40:03.380
 to say to Jesus,

00:40:04.060 --> 00:40:04.640
 Do you not,

00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:05.720
 do you care?

00:40:05.980 --> 00:40:07.039
 Of course he cared.

00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:09.480
 And I can say

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:10.320
 the same thing

00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:11.519
 to you tonight

00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:12.220
 because maybe

00:40:12.220 --> 00:40:13.440
 you're saying the same.

00:40:14.140 --> 00:40:15.360
 Does Jesus care?

00:40:16.180 --> 00:40:17.240
 Has Jesus forgotten

00:40:17.240 --> 00:40:18.080
 to be gracious?

00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:18.680
 You know,

00:40:18.740 --> 00:40:19.960
 sometimes we say that.

00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:21.200
 As the Lord,

00:40:21.420 --> 00:40:22.340
 that's what it tells us

00:40:22.340 --> 00:40:22.900
 in the Psalm.

00:40:22.900 --> 00:40:24.119
 Psalm has said that.

00:40:25.019 --> 00:40:26.400
 Has God forgotten

00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:27.260
 to be gracious?

00:40:28.059 --> 00:40:28.840
 It's as if God

00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:29.400
 has forgotten

00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:30.300
 all about me.

00:40:31.300 --> 00:40:32.200
 Of course he hasn't.

00:40:33.240 --> 00:40:33.740
 Can't.

00:40:34.940 --> 00:40:35.559
 And sometimes

00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:36.400
 we've got to remember

00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:37.760
 that the Lord

00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:38.460
 has a reason

00:40:38.460 --> 00:40:39.460
 for his silence.

00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:41.139
 He has a reason

00:40:41.139 --> 00:40:41.720
 at times

00:40:41.720 --> 00:40:42.579
 for his delays.

00:40:43.180 --> 00:40:44.460
 We can't understand them.

00:40:45.160 --> 00:40:46.160
 But he has a purpose

00:40:46.160 --> 00:40:47.820
 in all these things.

00:40:49.019 --> 00:40:50.280
 But we also see

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:50.820
 that having

00:40:50.820 --> 00:40:52.260
 the Lord on board

00:40:52.260 --> 00:40:53.300
 will bring

00:40:53.300 --> 00:40:55.260
 a wonderful deliverance.

00:40:56.220 --> 00:40:57.080
 And just as he proved

00:40:57.080 --> 00:40:57.960
 for the disciples,

00:40:58.160 --> 00:40:59.460
 he will for you as well.

00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:01.440
 Now it doesn't tell us

00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:03.000
 that Jesus said anything

00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:03.820
 immediately

00:41:03.820 --> 00:41:04.920
 to the disciples,

00:41:05.040 --> 00:41:05.460
 although maybe

00:41:05.460 --> 00:41:06.080
 some of the other

00:41:06.080 --> 00:41:07.320
 Gospels writers

00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:08.460
 have a different slant

00:41:08.460 --> 00:41:08.780
 on it.

00:41:09.580 --> 00:41:11.260
 But he spoke words.

00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:12.480
 He rebuked

00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:13.400
 the wind.

00:41:14.120 --> 00:41:14.860
 So he addressed

00:41:14.860 --> 00:41:15.840
 the wind and the sea.

00:41:16.420 --> 00:41:17.680
 He rebuked the wind

00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:19.799
 and said to the sea,

00:41:20.279 --> 00:41:20.599
 Peace,

00:41:20.859 --> 00:41:21.399
 be still.

00:41:22.139 --> 00:41:23.359
 I would love to have been there

00:41:23.359 --> 00:41:24.159
 at that moment.

00:41:25.139 --> 00:41:25.699
 You and I know

00:41:25.699 --> 00:41:26.359
 what it's like

00:41:26.359 --> 00:41:27.539
 on a boat.

00:41:28.539 --> 00:41:29.000
 And as you say,

00:41:29.059 --> 00:41:30.460
 the wind is howling.

00:41:30.799 --> 00:41:31.699
 You go out

00:41:31.699 --> 00:41:32.539
 on the deck

00:41:32.539 --> 00:41:33.839
 and there's a whistle

00:41:33.839 --> 00:41:36.500
 and there's a roar.

00:41:36.500 --> 00:41:40.559
 Jesus rebukes that.

00:41:41.780 --> 00:41:42.320
 And there's just

00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:43.400
 nothing but a silence.

00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:46.039
 And you know

00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:46.579
 what it's like

00:41:46.579 --> 00:41:47.699
 the surge of the sea.

00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:49.719
 The sea is angry

00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:51.219
 and it's

00:41:51.219 --> 00:41:52.199
 heaving

00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:53.139
 and surging.

00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:55.739
 And Jesus said,

00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:56.679
 Peace,

00:41:57.280 --> 00:41:58.059
 be still.

00:41:58.880 --> 00:41:59.599
 And it turns

00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:01.119
 into like a mill pond.

00:42:03.159 --> 00:42:04.099
 The disciples,

00:42:04.460 --> 00:42:04.800
 if you were

00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:05.460
 to look at them,

00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:06.440
 they would have been

00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:07.280
 standing there

00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:09.240
 open-mouthed.

00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:10.360
 Absolutely.

00:42:11.100 --> 00:42:12.220
 We use the expression

00:42:12.220 --> 00:42:13.000
 gobsmacked.

00:42:13.100 --> 00:42:13.680
 They would have been

00:42:13.680 --> 00:42:14.880
 just stunned.

00:42:15.660 --> 00:42:16.180
 So would you.

00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:16.900
 So would I.

00:42:17.720 --> 00:42:18.620
 Because you and I

00:42:18.620 --> 00:42:19.500
 know that

00:42:19.500 --> 00:42:20.700
 a storm

00:42:20.700 --> 00:42:21.440
 doesn't go to

00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:22.460
 zero knots

00:42:22.460 --> 00:42:23.519
 in a second.

00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:25.660
 And even when

00:42:25.660 --> 00:42:26.519
 the wind stops,

00:42:26.620 --> 00:42:27.240
 you and I know

00:42:27.240 --> 00:42:27.800
 that the sea

00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:28.580
 doesn't go flat

00:42:28.580 --> 00:42:29.640
 calm immediately.

00:42:30.140 --> 00:42:30.440
 You go,

00:42:30.700 --> 00:42:31.200
 if there's been

00:42:31.200 --> 00:42:32.019
 a north wind

00:42:32.019 --> 00:42:33.519
 out there

00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:34.700
 and you go

00:42:34.699 --> 00:42:35.119
 on the ferry

00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:35.759
 the next day,

00:42:35.859 --> 00:42:36.399
 even although

00:42:36.399 --> 00:42:37.299
 there's no wind,

00:42:37.919 --> 00:42:38.339
 there's still

00:42:38.339 --> 00:42:38.939
 a roll

00:42:38.939 --> 00:42:39.919
 in the sea.

00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:40.439
 You see,

00:42:40.500 --> 00:42:41.059
 the sea takes

00:42:41.059 --> 00:42:41.819
 a long time

00:42:41.819 --> 00:42:43.059
 to calm down.

00:42:44.759 --> 00:42:45.619
 It's impossible

00:42:45.619 --> 00:42:46.379
 for the sea

00:42:46.379 --> 00:42:47.279
 to immediately,

00:42:47.439 --> 00:42:48.079
 the wind drops

00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:48.859
 just to go flat

00:42:48.859 --> 00:42:49.279
 calm.

00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:50.960
 But that's exactly

00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:51.719
 what happened

00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:53.059
 at that moment.

00:42:54.539 --> 00:42:55.099
 And Jesus

00:42:55.099 --> 00:42:56.059
 is showing here

00:42:56.059 --> 00:42:57.079
 his own lordship,

00:42:57.539 --> 00:42:58.219
 his power.

00:42:58.859 --> 00:42:59.439
 He is the one

00:42:59.439 --> 00:43:00.079
 we're going to sing

00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:01.059
 Psalm 107

00:43:01.059 --> 00:43:01.719
 at the end.

00:43:02.139 --> 00:43:02.659
 He is the one

00:43:02.659 --> 00:43:03.099
 who turns

00:43:03.099 --> 00:43:03.759
 the storm

00:43:03.759 --> 00:43:05.059
 into a calm.

00:43:06.460 --> 00:43:06.860
 And we've got

00:43:06.860 --> 00:43:07.380
 to remember

00:43:07.380 --> 00:43:08.460
 that this surging

00:43:08.460 --> 00:43:09.759
 sea in its

00:43:09.759 --> 00:43:10.420
 first place

00:43:10.420 --> 00:43:11.079
 was made

00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:12.340
 by the Lord.

00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:13.179
 He is the one

00:43:13.179 --> 00:43:13.840
 who is Lord

00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:14.460
 over all.

00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:15.920
 The wind

00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:16.420
 and the sea

00:43:16.420 --> 00:43:17.320
 are his to command.

00:43:17.699 --> 00:43:18.320
 We sang in

00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:19.219
 Psalm 77

00:43:19.219 --> 00:43:20.259
 and it tells us

00:43:20.259 --> 00:43:20.500
 there,

00:43:20.900 --> 00:43:21.559
 when the water

00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:22.279
 saw you,

00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:22.739
 O God,

00:43:22.799 --> 00:43:23.599
 they were afraid.

00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:24.779
 It says,

00:43:25.380 --> 00:43:25.900
 the psalmist

00:43:25.900 --> 00:43:27.119
 is personalizing

00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:28.400
 the very sea.

00:43:29.839 --> 00:43:30.400
 And the sea

00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:30.659
 is,

00:43:31.059 --> 00:43:31.920
 although we see

00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:32.299
 the sea,

00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:33.159
 and long ago

00:43:33.159 --> 00:43:33.599
 the people

00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:34.719
 used to be

00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:35.659
 suspicious

00:43:35.659 --> 00:43:36.359
 of the sea,

00:43:36.579 --> 00:43:37.380
 it was looked

00:43:37.380 --> 00:43:37.940
 upon us

00:43:37.940 --> 00:43:38.699
 where the evil

00:43:38.699 --> 00:43:39.619
 would come from.

00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:41.679
 But God

00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:42.139
 is the one

00:43:42.139 --> 00:43:43.019
 who created all.

00:43:43.619 --> 00:43:44.179
 He's God

00:43:44.179 --> 00:43:44.980
 over all things.

00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:45.719
 And in that

00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:46.779
 Psalm it tells us,

00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:48.819
 your way

00:43:48.819 --> 00:43:49.719
 was through

00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:50.400
 the sea,

00:43:51.099 --> 00:43:52.139
 your path

00:43:52.139 --> 00:43:52.799
 through the

00:43:52.799 --> 00:43:53.559
 great waters,

00:43:54.460 --> 00:43:54.920
 yet your

00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:55.380
 footprints

00:43:55.380 --> 00:43:56.339
 were unseen.

00:43:57.119 --> 00:43:57.400
 Isn't that

00:43:57.400 --> 00:43:57.799
 beautiful?

00:43:58.859 --> 00:43:59.380
 What a

00:43:59.380 --> 00:43:59.880
 description

00:43:59.880 --> 00:44:00.500
 that is

00:44:00.500 --> 00:44:01.099
 of Jesus

00:44:01.099 --> 00:44:02.599
 on another

00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:03.099
 occasion

00:44:03.099 --> 00:44:03.519
 on this

00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:04.199
 very sea,

00:44:04.659 --> 00:44:05.279
 walking to

00:44:05.279 --> 00:44:05.960
 the disciples

00:44:05.960 --> 00:44:06.819
 in the storm

00:44:06.819 --> 00:44:07.259
 again.

00:44:08.420 --> 00:44:08.859
 There's no

00:44:08.859 --> 00:44:09.400
 sign of his

00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:09.799
 footprints,

00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:11.039
 but he

00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:11.719
 walked across

00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:12.299
 that sea

00:44:12.299 --> 00:44:12.659
 as if it

00:44:12.659 --> 00:44:12.960
 was a

00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:13.339
 pavement.

00:44:14.420 --> 00:44:14.679
 You see,

00:44:14.739 --> 00:44:15.199
 he's Lord

00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:15.779
 over all.

00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:17.079
 And we've

00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:17.659
 always got to

00:44:17.659 --> 00:44:18.460
 remember that.

00:44:19.079 --> 00:44:19.339
 And we've

00:44:19.339 --> 00:44:19.900
 always got to

00:44:19.900 --> 00:44:20.500
 have an

00:44:20.500 --> 00:44:21.319
 insight into

00:44:21.319 --> 00:44:22.500
 who the

00:44:22.500 --> 00:44:22.980
 Lord is.

00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:23.239
 Because,

00:44:23.500 --> 00:44:23.759
 you know,

00:44:23.859 --> 00:44:24.579
 this is a

00:44:24.579 --> 00:44:25.099
 funny thing.

00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:26.460
 See it

00:44:26.460 --> 00:44:27.199
 at verse

00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:27.880
 36.

00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:28.420
 It tells

00:44:28.420 --> 00:44:28.720
 us,

00:44:29.460 --> 00:44:29.980
 And leaving

00:44:29.980 --> 00:44:30.699
 the crowd,

00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:31.780
 they took

00:44:31.780 --> 00:44:32.480
 him with

00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:32.900
 them in

00:44:32.900 --> 00:44:33.420
 the boat,

00:44:33.940 --> 00:44:34.920
 just as

00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:35.900
 he was.

00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:37.280
 Just as

00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:37.880
 he was.

00:44:38.900 --> 00:44:39.519
 At that

00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:39.940
 particular

00:44:39.940 --> 00:44:40.360
 moment,

00:44:40.460 --> 00:44:40.860
 although the

00:44:40.860 --> 00:44:41.400
 disciples

00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:42.440
 believed him

00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:43.380
 in Jesus

00:44:43.380 --> 00:44:43.960
 as the

00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:44.380
 Messiah,

00:44:44.820 --> 00:44:45.820
 they had

00:44:45.820 --> 00:44:46.360
 no idea

00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:46.720
 who he

00:44:46.720 --> 00:44:47.420
 really was.

00:44:48.619 --> 00:44:49.039
 He was

00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:49.579
 just one

00:44:49.579 --> 00:44:50.059
 of them,

00:44:50.300 --> 00:44:52.360
 but still

00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:52.920
 they believed

00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:53.220
 in him.

00:44:53.500 --> 00:44:53.860
 So they

00:44:53.860 --> 00:44:54.139
 took him

00:44:54.139 --> 00:44:54.599
 just as

00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:55.159
 he was.

00:44:56.460 --> 00:44:57.340
 At this

00:44:57.340 --> 00:44:57.760
 moment,

00:44:57.920 --> 00:44:58.380
 when this

00:44:58.380 --> 00:44:59.019
 person who

00:44:59.019 --> 00:44:59.579
 was just

00:44:59.579 --> 00:44:59.900
 as he

00:44:59.900 --> 00:45:00.380
 was,

00:45:01.980 --> 00:45:03.019
 their whole

00:45:03.019 --> 00:45:03.820
 vision of

00:45:03.820 --> 00:45:04.159
 who he

00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:04.599
 is has

00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:05.099
 changed.

00:45:06.240 --> 00:45:06.920
 He now

00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:07.900
 becomes this

00:45:07.900 --> 00:45:09.000
 awesome,

00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:09.780
 majestic

00:45:09.780 --> 00:45:10.420
 being.

00:45:11.699 --> 00:45:11.980
 And they're

00:45:11.980 --> 00:45:12.679
 hushed into

00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:14.139
 a new type

00:45:14.139 --> 00:45:14.800
 of fear in

00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:15.519
 his presence.

00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:17.579
 And you

00:45:17.579 --> 00:45:17.679
 know,

00:45:17.740 --> 00:45:18.340
 that's what we

00:45:18.340 --> 00:45:18.920
 need to see

00:45:18.920 --> 00:45:19.380
 as well.

00:45:20.099 --> 00:45:20.740
 We need to

00:45:20.740 --> 00:45:21.220
 see this

00:45:21.220 --> 00:45:22.539
 Jesus in

00:45:22.539 --> 00:45:22.960
 all his

00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:23.340
 awe,

00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:24.000
 in all his

00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:24.480
 power.

00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:25.400
 because far

00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:25.960
 too often

00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:26.800
 the way

00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:27.300
 we see

00:45:27.300 --> 00:45:27.559
 him is

00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:28.260
 just as

00:45:28.260 --> 00:45:28.699
 he is,

00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:29.340
 just like

00:45:29.340 --> 00:45:29.880
 another one

00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:30.320
 of us.

00:45:31.300 --> 00:45:31.579
 And we

00:45:31.579 --> 00:45:31.860
 don't

00:45:31.860 --> 00:45:32.639
 reverence him,

00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:33.159
 we don't

00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:33.480
 have the

00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:33.740
 awe,

00:45:33.820 --> 00:45:34.119
 we don't

00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:34.400
 have the

00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:34.920
 fear in

00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:35.380
 front of

00:45:35.380 --> 00:45:35.519
 him.

00:45:35.860 --> 00:45:36.099
 He's

00:45:36.099 --> 00:45:36.480
 just one

00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:36.860
 of us.

00:45:36.980 --> 00:45:37.099
 No,

00:45:37.139 --> 00:45:37.539
 he's not.

00:45:38.019 --> 00:45:38.240
 Yes,

00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:38.760
 he is.

00:45:39.579 --> 00:45:40.199
 But thankfully

00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:40.840
 he's also

00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:41.340
 God.

00:45:42.300 --> 00:45:42.780
 And at that

00:45:42.780 --> 00:45:43.500
 moment their

00:45:43.500 --> 00:45:44.199
 eyes were

00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:44.659
 opened to

00:45:44.659 --> 00:45:45.280
 behold his

00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:45.719
 glory,

00:45:46.079 --> 00:45:46.679
 his majesty

00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:47.039
 and our

00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:48.219
 power in

00:45:48.219 --> 00:45:48.679
 a way that

00:45:48.679 --> 00:45:48.940
 they had

00:45:48.940 --> 00:45:49.519
 never ever

00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:50.400
 envisaged

00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:50.920
 or seen

00:45:50.920 --> 00:45:51.460
 before.

00:45:51.460 --> 00:45:53.639
 And so

00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:54.159
 we find

00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:54.679
 that Jesus

00:45:54.679 --> 00:45:55.619
 is the

00:45:55.619 --> 00:45:55.980
 one who

00:45:55.980 --> 00:45:56.880
 brings peace

00:45:56.880 --> 00:45:57.800
 and he

00:45:57.800 --> 00:45:58.659
 brings calm

00:45:58.659 --> 00:45:59.639
 into the

00:45:59.639 --> 00:45:59.940
 troubled

00:45:59.940 --> 00:46:00.659
 situation.

00:46:01.500 --> 00:46:02.039
 And you

00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:02.260
 know the

00:46:02.260 --> 00:46:03.099
 Lord continues

00:46:03.099 --> 00:46:03.639
 to do

00:46:03.639 --> 00:46:04.019
 that.

00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:05.179
 And that's

00:46:05.179 --> 00:46:05.480
 what if

00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:05.920
 you're here

00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:07.400
 tonight and

00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:07.760
 you've never

00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:08.280
 come to

00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:08.860
 faith in the

00:46:08.860 --> 00:46:09.440
 Lord Jesus

00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:09.980
 Christ,

00:46:10.139 --> 00:46:10.460
 there's a

00:46:10.460 --> 00:46:11.099
 restlessness.

00:46:11.820 --> 00:46:12.340
 It may not

00:46:12.340 --> 00:46:12.920
 be as bad

00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:13.619
 as a storm,

00:46:14.019 --> 00:46:14.500
 but there's a

00:46:14.500 --> 00:46:15.380
 restlessness in

00:46:15.380 --> 00:46:15.960
 your heart.

00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:17.619
 That is the

00:46:17.619 --> 00:46:18.199
 nature of

00:46:18.199 --> 00:46:18.519
 life.

00:46:18.720 --> 00:46:19.199
 There is a

00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:19.900
 restlessness

00:46:19.900 --> 00:46:21.059
 in every

00:46:21.059 --> 00:46:21.960
 single heart

00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:22.500
 until they

00:46:22.500 --> 00:46:23.119
 find rest

00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:23.400
 in the

00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:23.680
 Lord.

00:46:23.980 --> 00:46:24.460
 The Lord

00:46:24.460 --> 00:46:25.000
 has made

00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:25.400
 us for

00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:25.860
 himself.

00:46:27.160 --> 00:46:27.440
 And as

00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:28.900
 one of the

00:46:28.900 --> 00:46:29.480
 old divines

00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:29.800
 said,

00:46:30.160 --> 00:46:30.420
 and the

00:46:30.420 --> 00:46:30.860
 heart will

00:46:30.860 --> 00:46:31.480
 be restless

00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:31.960
 till it

00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:32.660
 finds rest

00:46:32.660 --> 00:46:33.099
 in you.

00:46:34.820 --> 00:46:35.200
 And the

00:46:35.200 --> 00:46:35.480
 greatest

00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:36.340
 discovery that

00:46:36.340 --> 00:46:36.860
 we can ever

00:46:36.860 --> 00:46:37.800
 make is that

00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:38.280
 we need

00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:38.940
 the Lord.

00:46:40.099 --> 00:46:40.340
 And if

00:46:40.340 --> 00:46:40.680
 you've never

00:46:40.680 --> 00:46:41.300
 seen that,

00:46:41.420 --> 00:46:41.740
 ask the

00:46:41.740 --> 00:46:42.320
 Lord tonight,

00:46:42.740 --> 00:46:43.099
 show me

00:46:43.099 --> 00:46:43.420
 Lord,

00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:44.079
 show me

00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:44.800
 myself and

00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:45.180
 show me

00:46:45.180 --> 00:46:45.519
 yourself.

00:46:46.160 --> 00:46:46.700
 Show me

00:46:46.700 --> 00:46:47.720
 my need

00:46:47.720 --> 00:46:47.980
 of you.

00:46:48.119 --> 00:46:48.900
 Show me

00:46:48.900 --> 00:46:49.720
 the importance

00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:50.179
 because,

00:46:50.799 --> 00:46:51.019
 you see,

00:46:51.099 --> 00:46:51.500
 unless the

00:46:51.500 --> 00:46:52.039
 Lord does

00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:52.259
 that,

00:46:52.299 --> 00:46:52.659
 we don't

00:46:52.659 --> 00:46:53.139
 see it.

00:46:54.419 --> 00:46:54.699
 And so

00:46:54.699 --> 00:46:55.139
 the Lord

00:46:55.139 --> 00:46:55.980
 will calm

00:46:55.980 --> 00:46:57.039
 the storm

00:46:57.039 --> 00:46:57.339
 in your

00:46:57.339 --> 00:46:57.539
 life.

00:46:57.739 --> 00:46:58.139
 Peace,

00:46:58.299 --> 00:46:58.939
 be still.

00:47:00.539 --> 00:47:00.799
 And you

00:47:00.799 --> 00:47:00.879
 know,

00:47:00.939 --> 00:47:01.219
 that's what

00:47:01.219 --> 00:47:01.559
 the Lord

00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:02.339
 continues to

00:47:02.339 --> 00:47:02.859
 do because

00:47:02.859 --> 00:47:04.779
 he brings

00:47:04.779 --> 00:47:05.500
 peace to

00:47:05.500 --> 00:47:06.279
 our conscience.

00:47:07.179 --> 00:47:07.480
 When you

00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:07.919
 become a

00:47:07.919 --> 00:47:08.259
 Christian,

00:47:08.359 --> 00:47:08.679
 that's one

00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:08.899
 of the

00:47:08.899 --> 00:47:09.439
 first things

00:47:09.439 --> 00:47:10.000
 that happens.

00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:10.879
 You get

00:47:10.879 --> 00:47:11.980
 peace in

00:47:11.980 --> 00:47:12.659
 your conscience.

00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:14.119
 When you

00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:14.559
 become a

00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:14.879
 Christian,

00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:15.480
 you come

00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:16.659
 by faith

00:47:16.659 --> 00:47:17.439
 and by

00:47:17.439 --> 00:47:17.859
 way of

00:47:17.859 --> 00:47:18.459
 repentance.

00:47:18.460 --> 00:47:18.659
 forgiveness,

00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:20.440
 asking for

00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:21.079
 the Lord's

00:47:21.079 --> 00:47:22.139
 pardon and

00:47:22.139 --> 00:47:22.679
 forgiveness

00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:23.840
 and cleansing.

00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:25.320
 And you

00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:25.420
 know,

00:47:25.460 --> 00:47:25.720
 when you

00:47:25.720 --> 00:47:26.679
 receive that,

00:47:27.579 --> 00:47:28.000
 it's one

00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:28.199
 of the

00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:28.420
 most

00:47:28.420 --> 00:47:29.220
 liberating

00:47:29.220 --> 00:47:30.820
 things that

00:47:30.820 --> 00:47:31.280
 can ever

00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:32.019
 happen in

00:47:32.019 --> 00:47:32.519
 your life,

00:47:33.300 --> 00:47:34.019
 to have

00:47:34.019 --> 00:47:35.019
 the experience

00:47:35.019 --> 00:47:35.579
 of a

00:47:35.579 --> 00:47:36.800
 trouble-free

00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:37.720
 conscience.

00:47:39.059 --> 00:47:39.360
 Our

00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:39.960
 consciences

00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:41.119
 can be so

00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:41.639
 troubling,

00:47:42.420 --> 00:47:42.960
 but you

00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:43.099
 know,

00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:43.639
 when our

00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:44.400
 sins are

00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:45.099
 pardoned,

00:47:45.099 --> 00:47:45.900
 and we

00:47:45.900 --> 00:47:46.259
 have a

00:47:46.259 --> 00:47:46.880
 sense of

00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:47.339
 divine

00:47:47.339 --> 00:47:48.079
 cleansing

00:47:48.079 --> 00:47:48.339
 and

00:47:48.339 --> 00:47:48.860
 forgiveness,

00:47:50.599 --> 00:47:51.099
 then our

00:47:51.099 --> 00:47:51.759
 conscience

00:47:51.759 --> 00:47:52.900
 doesn't

00:47:52.900 --> 00:47:53.599
 trouble us

00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:54.699
 like the

00:47:54.699 --> 00:47:55.039
 way it

00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:55.519
 used to.

00:47:56.759 --> 00:47:57.400
 And the

00:47:57.400 --> 00:47:58.000
 Lord also

00:47:58.000 --> 00:47:58.860
 brings peace

00:47:58.860 --> 00:47:59.279
 to our

00:47:59.279 --> 00:47:59.699
 heart.

00:48:00.279 --> 00:48:00.699
 That's what

00:48:00.699 --> 00:48:01.079
 he says,

00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:02.420
 my peace

00:48:02.420 --> 00:48:02.980
 I give

00:48:02.980 --> 00:48:03.179
 you,

00:48:03.380 --> 00:48:03.900
 not as the

00:48:03.900 --> 00:48:04.719
 world gives,

00:48:04.839 --> 00:48:05.360
 give I unto

00:48:05.360 --> 00:48:05.699
 you.

00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:06.719
 You and I

00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:07.079
 know that

00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:07.539
 the world,

00:48:08.019 --> 00:48:08.319
 that there's

00:48:08.319 --> 00:48:08.739
 an element

00:48:08.739 --> 00:48:09.079
 you can

00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:09.279
 have,

00:48:09.699 --> 00:48:10.319
 when everything

00:48:10.319 --> 00:48:10.739
 is going

00:48:10.739 --> 00:48:11.239
 well in

00:48:11.239 --> 00:48:11.559
 life,

00:48:11.679 --> 00:48:12.799
 and circumstances

00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:13.700
 and everything

00:48:13.700 --> 00:48:14.100
 is coming

00:48:14.100 --> 00:48:14.580
 together,

00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:15.500
 you can be

00:48:15.500 --> 00:48:16.060
 happy and

00:48:16.060 --> 00:48:16.800
 contented,

00:48:17.080 --> 00:48:17.580
 and there is

00:48:17.580 --> 00:48:18.039
 an element

00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:18.500
 of peace,

00:48:18.539 --> 00:48:18.860
 that's the

00:48:18.860 --> 00:48:19.260
 world's

00:48:19.260 --> 00:48:19.539
 peace.

00:48:20.500 --> 00:48:21.039
 But it

00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:21.280
 doesn't

00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:21.700
 last.

00:48:22.300 --> 00:48:22.840
 Change the

00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:23.580
 circumstances,

00:48:24.500 --> 00:48:24.920
 pull the

00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:25.360
 plug on

00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:25.640
 what's

00:48:25.640 --> 00:48:26.000
 happening,

00:48:26.780 --> 00:48:27.300
 and the

00:48:27.300 --> 00:48:27.900
 peace goes

00:48:27.900 --> 00:48:28.400
 with it.

00:48:29.820 --> 00:48:30.400
 But Jesus

00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:30.940
 says my

00:48:30.940 --> 00:48:31.380
 peace is

00:48:31.380 --> 00:48:31.840
 different,

00:48:32.440 --> 00:48:32.680
 it's not

00:48:32.680 --> 00:48:32.900
 as the

00:48:32.900 --> 00:48:33.440
 world gives,

00:48:34.240 --> 00:48:34.900
 my peace

00:48:34.900 --> 00:48:35.519
 is deep

00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:36.720
 rooted in

00:48:36.720 --> 00:48:37.320
 your heart.

00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:39.019
 Your heart

00:48:39.019 --> 00:48:39.539
 is made

00:48:39.539 --> 00:48:40.080
 for my

00:48:40.080 --> 00:48:40.480
 love,

00:48:41.160 --> 00:48:41.840
 and when

00:48:41.840 --> 00:48:42.480
 my love

00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:43.240
 floods your

00:48:43.240 --> 00:48:43.679
 heart,

00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:44.880
 then my

00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:45.740
 peace comes

00:48:45.740 --> 00:48:46.240
 in as

00:48:46.240 --> 00:48:46.539
 well.

00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:47.420
 It's a

00:48:47.420 --> 00:48:47.900
 settled

00:48:47.900 --> 00:48:50.260
 peace that

00:48:50.260 --> 00:48:50.860
 governs,

00:48:51.179 --> 00:48:51.440
 yes,

00:48:51.539 --> 00:48:53.699
 there might

00:48:53.699 --> 00:48:54.420
 be still a

00:48:54.420 --> 00:48:55.320
 storm in

00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:55.800
 your life,

00:48:56.199 --> 00:48:56.619
 the storm

00:48:56.619 --> 00:48:57.119
 might not

00:48:57.119 --> 00:48:57.460
 go,

00:48:58.420 --> 00:48:58.800
 but there's

00:48:58.800 --> 00:48:59.420
 a peace

00:48:59.420 --> 00:49:00.840
 attached to

00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:01.079
 it,

00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:02.320
 a peace

00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:03.719
 that undergirds

00:49:03.719 --> 00:49:04.300
 your life,

00:49:05.260 --> 00:49:05.480
 that the

00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:06.179
 world is

00:49:06.179 --> 00:49:07.539
 incapable of

00:49:07.539 --> 00:49:08.059
 giving you.

00:49:09.059 --> 00:49:09.659
 You remember

00:49:09.659 --> 00:49:10.199
 what it was

00:49:10.199 --> 00:49:10.760
 like when you

00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:11.260
 became a

00:49:11.260 --> 00:49:11.619
 Christian.

00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:12.840
 You remember

00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:13.539
 that peace?

00:49:14.659 --> 00:49:15.019
 A peace

00:49:15.019 --> 00:49:15.380
 you never

00:49:15.380 --> 00:49:16.099
 had before.

00:49:16.780 --> 00:49:17.119
 You might

00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:17.380
 have had

00:49:17.380 --> 00:49:17.960
 good times,

00:49:18.059 --> 00:49:18.679
 happy times,

00:49:18.820 --> 00:49:19.400
 contented

00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:19.840
 times,

00:49:20.340 --> 00:49:21.320
 but you

00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:21.880
 never had

00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:23.320
 real deep

00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:24.380
 rooted peace

00:49:24.380 --> 00:49:25.340
 until you

00:49:25.340 --> 00:49:25.760
 came to

00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:26.300
 peace in

00:49:26.300 --> 00:49:26.840
 Christ.

00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:27.719
 That was

00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:28.179
 different.

00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:30.599
 My peace

00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:31.519
 I give you.

00:49:32.179 --> 00:49:32.519
 Now of

00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:32.920
 course we

00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:34.159
 know all

00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:34.699
 too well

00:49:34.699 --> 00:49:35.039
 in this

00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:35.579
 world that

00:49:35.579 --> 00:49:35.719
 we,

00:49:36.380 --> 00:49:36.940
 because of

00:49:36.940 --> 00:49:37.380
 the nature

00:49:37.380 --> 00:49:37.860
 of this

00:49:37.860 --> 00:49:38.440
 world and

00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:39.219
 because of

00:49:39.219 --> 00:49:39.519
 all the

00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:40.280
 trials and

00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:41.179
 temptations and

00:49:41.179 --> 00:49:41.879
 difficulties that

00:49:41.879 --> 00:49:42.399
 we face,

00:49:43.399 --> 00:49:44.379
 we still

00:49:44.379 --> 00:49:44.899
 often are

00:49:44.899 --> 00:49:45.379
 anxious.

00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:46.599
 You say to

00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:46.960
 yourself,

00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:47.960
 surely the

00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:48.699
 Christian shouldn't

00:49:48.699 --> 00:49:49.219
 be anxious.

00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:49.759
 Well,

00:49:51.099 --> 00:49:51.819
 if we weren't

00:49:51.819 --> 00:49:52.199
 anxious,

00:49:52.319 --> 00:49:52.659
 the Lord

00:49:52.659 --> 00:49:53.179
 wouldn't be

00:49:53.179 --> 00:49:53.639
 over and

00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:54.059
 over and

00:49:54.059 --> 00:49:54.739
 over again

00:49:54.739 --> 00:49:55.159
 in the

00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:55.779
 word saying,

00:49:56.519 --> 00:49:56.940
 don't be

00:49:56.940 --> 00:49:57.419
 anxious,

00:49:57.879 --> 00:49:58.299
 don't be

00:49:58.299 --> 00:49:58.699
 fearful.

00:49:59.699 --> 00:50:00.159
 If we were

00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:00.639
 to go through

00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:01.599
 tonight and

00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:02.480
 to count all

00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:02.879
 the number

00:50:02.879 --> 00:50:03.460
 of times

00:50:03.460 --> 00:50:04.239
 that the

00:50:04.239 --> 00:50:04.899
 Lord says,

00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:05.719
 fear not,

00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:07.579
 be courageous,

00:50:07.579 --> 00:50:08.579
 be strong,

00:50:09.940 --> 00:50:11.000
 don't be

00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:11.519
 anxious.

00:50:13.019 --> 00:50:13.299
 But the

00:50:13.299 --> 00:50:13.940
 Lord tells

00:50:13.940 --> 00:50:14.400
 us that

00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:16.840
 basically what

00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:17.559
 happens when

00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:18.000
 we become

00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:19.559
 anxious is

00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:20.639
 that we've

00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:22.019
 stopped casting

00:50:22.019 --> 00:50:22.659
 all our

00:50:22.659 --> 00:50:23.360
 cares upon

00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:23.840
 the Lord.

00:50:25.219 --> 00:50:26.400
 And there's

00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:26.840
 a beautiful

00:50:26.840 --> 00:50:27.440
 verse, I

00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:27.799
 think it's

00:50:27.799 --> 00:50:28.400
 in Isaiah

00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:29.500
 that says

00:50:29.500 --> 00:50:30.199
 something like

00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:31.239
 that the

00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:32.340
 one whose

00:50:32.340 --> 00:50:33.579
 mind great

00:50:33.579 --> 00:50:34.139
 peace,

00:50:34.519 --> 00:50:35.039
 well it

00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:35.539
 says great

00:50:35.539 --> 00:50:35.980
 peace of

00:50:35.980 --> 00:50:36.579
 those who

00:50:36.579 --> 00:50:36.980
 love your

00:50:36.980 --> 00:50:37.260
 love.

00:50:37.900 --> 00:50:38.280
 But it

00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:38.880
 tells us

00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:39.440
 that the

00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:39.960
 one whose

00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:40.679
 mind is

00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:41.380
 fixed on

00:50:41.380 --> 00:50:42.260
 you, that

00:50:42.260 --> 00:50:42.960
 that person

00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:43.699
 will have

00:50:43.699 --> 00:50:44.699
 continued

00:50:44.699 --> 00:50:45.280
 peace,

00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:45.860
 perfect

00:50:45.860 --> 00:50:46.320
 peace.

00:50:47.059 --> 00:50:47.480
 You will

00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:48.019
 keep in

00:50:48.019 --> 00:50:48.639
 perfect

00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:50.280
 peace the

00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:51.240
 man or

00:50:51.240 --> 00:50:51.980
 woman whose

00:50:51.980 --> 00:50:53.719
 mind is

00:50:53.719 --> 00:50:54.659
 fixed on

00:50:54.659 --> 00:50:54.800
 you.

00:50:54.920 --> 00:50:55.420
 Fixed is

00:50:55.420 --> 00:50:55.860
 a word,

00:50:56.380 --> 00:50:56.699
 fixed,

00:50:57.119 --> 00:50:57.599
 fixed on

00:50:57.599 --> 00:50:58.019
 the Lord.

00:50:59.179 --> 00:50:59.679
 Because when

00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:00.179
 we take our

00:51:00.179 --> 00:51:00.820
 eyes off the

00:51:00.820 --> 00:51:01.579
 Lord and

00:51:01.579 --> 00:51:02.179
 we begin to

00:51:02.179 --> 00:51:02.579
 look at the

00:51:02.579 --> 00:51:02.900
 troubles,

00:51:03.039 --> 00:51:03.300
 then of

00:51:03.300 --> 00:51:04.119
 course we

00:51:04.119 --> 00:51:04.599
 begin to

00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:05.019
 rock and

00:51:05.019 --> 00:51:05.559
 roll again,

00:51:05.659 --> 00:51:06.260
 we begin to

00:51:06.260 --> 00:51:06.619
 shake.

00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:08.280
 It's like

00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:08.940
 Peter walking

00:51:08.940 --> 00:51:09.240
 on the

00:51:09.240 --> 00:51:09.659
 water, as

00:51:09.659 --> 00:51:10.039
 long as he

00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:10.400
 was looking

00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:10.920
 to Jesus,

00:51:11.079 --> 00:51:11.619
 he walked.

00:51:12.059 --> 00:51:12.480
 The moment

00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:12.800
 he took

00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:13.260
 his eyes

00:51:13.260 --> 00:51:13.820
 off Jesus

00:51:13.820 --> 00:51:14.300
 and began

00:51:14.300 --> 00:51:14.760
 to look at

00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:15.240
 the storm,

00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:16.019
 down he

00:51:16.019 --> 00:51:16.340
 went.

00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:17.179
 So will

00:51:17.179 --> 00:51:17.760
 you, so

00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:18.300
 will I.

00:51:19.820 --> 00:51:20.420
 But not

00:51:20.420 --> 00:51:21.000
 only does the

00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:21.519
 Lord bring

00:51:21.519 --> 00:51:22.099
 peace to

00:51:22.099 --> 00:51:23.840
 our conscience

00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:24.559
 and peace

00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:24.960
 to our

00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:26.340
 heart, he

00:51:26.340 --> 00:51:27.039
 also brings

00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:27.659
 peace to

00:51:27.659 --> 00:51:28.219
 our mind

00:51:28.219 --> 00:51:28.780
 as well.

00:51:28.780 --> 00:51:28.840
 people.

00:51:30.420 --> 00:51:30.820
 And you

00:51:30.820 --> 00:51:31.100
 and I

00:51:31.100 --> 00:51:31.540
 know that

00:51:31.540 --> 00:51:31.900
 in this

00:51:31.900 --> 00:51:32.420
 world there

00:51:32.420 --> 00:51:33.040
 is so

00:51:33.040 --> 00:51:34.260
 much stress,

00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:35.240
 so many

00:51:35.240 --> 00:51:35.980
 things going

00:51:35.980 --> 00:51:36.360
 on in

00:51:36.360 --> 00:51:36.800
 people's

00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:37.180
 lives.

00:51:39.080 --> 00:51:39.260
 And

00:51:39.260 --> 00:51:40.440
 underneath,

00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:41.260
 and people

00:51:41.260 --> 00:51:42.040
 don't recognize

00:51:42.040 --> 00:51:42.960
 this or realize

00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:43.960
 it, the

00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:44.540
 bottom line

00:51:44.540 --> 00:51:45.040
 of it all

00:51:45.040 --> 00:51:45.519
 is sin.

00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:46.700
 It's sin

00:51:46.700 --> 00:51:47.400
 at work.

00:51:48.220 --> 00:51:49.060
 Because sin

00:51:49.060 --> 00:51:49.720
 is always

00:51:49.720 --> 00:51:50.600
 affecting your

00:51:50.600 --> 00:51:51.360
 thought life.

00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:52.920
 And people

00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:53.500
 are saying

00:51:53.500 --> 00:51:54.460
 they've got all

00:51:54.460 --> 00:51:54.940
 kinds of

00:51:54.940 --> 00:51:55.580
 questions.

00:51:55.579 --> 00:51:56.679
 who is

00:51:56.679 --> 00:51:57.139
 God?

00:51:57.239 --> 00:51:57.840
 Is there a

00:51:57.840 --> 00:51:58.199
 God?

00:51:58.319 --> 00:51:58.980
 What's it all

00:51:58.980 --> 00:51:59.299
 about?

00:51:59.380 --> 00:51:59.759
 Where we're

00:51:59.759 --> 00:52:00.019
 going?

00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:00.599
 What's the

00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:01.059
 point in

00:52:01.059 --> 00:52:01.360
 life?

00:52:01.659 --> 00:52:02.079
 All the

00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:02.639
 time there's

00:52:02.639 --> 00:52:03.079
 these kind

00:52:03.079 --> 00:52:04.340
 of aimless

00:52:04.340 --> 00:52:05.199
 thoughts and

00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:06.119
 that brings

00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:06.659
 nothing but

00:52:06.659 --> 00:52:07.440
 depression and

00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:08.239
 anxiety and

00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:08.739
 fear.

00:52:10.099 --> 00:52:10.619
 Hopelessness.

00:52:11.699 --> 00:52:12.279
 These kind of

00:52:12.279 --> 00:52:13.299
 questions, that's

00:52:13.299 --> 00:52:14.079
 all it brings.

00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:16.099
 And this world

00:52:16.099 --> 00:52:16.619
 is forever

00:52:16.619 --> 00:52:17.279
 changing.

00:52:18.259 --> 00:52:18.880
 Thoughts are

00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:19.380
 changing.

00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:20.819
 Opinions are

00:52:20.819 --> 00:52:21.360
 changing.

00:52:21.619 --> 00:52:22.299
 Fashions are

00:52:22.299 --> 00:52:22.719
 changing.

00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:23.440
 You can never

00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:24.139
 keep up with

00:52:24.139 --> 00:52:24.739
 what's in and

00:52:24.739 --> 00:52:25.279
 what's out.

00:52:26.139 --> 00:52:26.559
 It's always

00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:27.319
 on the move.

00:52:28.719 --> 00:52:29.279
 But you know

00:52:29.279 --> 00:52:29.840
 when you become

00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:30.440
 a Christian,

00:52:31.579 --> 00:52:32.319
 new standards

00:52:32.319 --> 00:52:32.980
 take over.

00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:34.920
 These are not

00:52:34.920 --> 00:52:35.659
 the issues that

00:52:35.659 --> 00:52:36.440
 concern you.

00:52:37.279 --> 00:52:37.719
 It's God's

00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:39.219
 word became

00:52:39.219 --> 00:52:40.099
 the rule and

00:52:40.099 --> 00:52:40.679
 the standard.

00:52:41.599 --> 00:52:42.159
 Not the

00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:42.779
 fashions and

00:52:42.779 --> 00:52:43.420
 the ways and

00:52:43.420 --> 00:52:44.679
 the tendencies

00:52:44.679 --> 00:52:45.679
 of this world.

00:52:46.699 --> 00:52:47.079
 And so the

00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:48.500
 Christian has a

00:52:48.500 --> 00:52:49.400
 freer mind.

00:52:50.539 --> 00:52:51.319
 Our mind isn't

00:52:51.319 --> 00:52:52.219
 governed by all

00:52:52.219 --> 00:52:53.679
 these 101 things

00:52:53.679 --> 00:52:54.139
 that are going

00:52:54.139 --> 00:52:54.799
 on, being

00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:55.600
 bombarded,

00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:56.460
 particularly in

00:52:56.460 --> 00:52:56.900
 the day that

00:52:56.900 --> 00:52:57.340
 we're living

00:52:57.340 --> 00:52:58.000
 in with all

00:52:58.000 --> 00:52:59.460
 the power of

00:52:59.460 --> 00:53:00.240
 social media and

00:53:00.240 --> 00:53:00.640
 all these

00:53:00.640 --> 00:53:00.860
 things.

00:53:01.860 --> 00:53:02.600
 Here we have

00:53:02.600 --> 00:53:04.500
 the calmness of

00:53:04.500 --> 00:53:06.280
 mind when our

00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:07.400
 mind is fixed

00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:08.160
 on Christ.

00:53:09.440 --> 00:53:10.100
 And so Jesus

00:53:10.100 --> 00:53:11.380
 says to the

00:53:11.380 --> 00:53:13.480
 wind, peace be

00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:13.860
 still.

00:53:14.460 --> 00:53:15.260
 And he says the

00:53:15.260 --> 00:53:16.140
 same to you and

00:53:16.140 --> 00:53:16.940
 to me as well.

00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:18.400
 And that's the

00:53:18.400 --> 00:53:19.220
 beauty of when we

00:53:19.220 --> 00:53:20.880
 follow the Lord,

00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:21.860
 Jesus Christ.

00:53:23.260 --> 00:53:24.440
 You and I know

00:53:24.440 --> 00:53:25.420
 that when we

00:53:25.420 --> 00:53:25.920
 follow the

00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:27.180
 Lord, we're

00:53:27.180 --> 00:53:27.820
 heading to a

00:53:27.820 --> 00:53:28.900
 world of

00:53:28.900 --> 00:53:29.880
 eternal peace.

00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:31.220
 Never know it

00:53:31.220 --> 00:53:32.260
 in this world

00:53:32.260 --> 00:53:33.420
 in its fullness.

00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:35.240
 We have the

00:53:35.240 --> 00:53:36.220
 first fruits of

00:53:36.220 --> 00:53:38.000
 it by accepting

00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:38.480
 Christ.

00:53:39.320 --> 00:53:40.420
 The fullness of

00:53:40.420 --> 00:53:41.599
 it belongs in

00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:42.160
 the world to

00:53:42.160 --> 00:53:42.440
 come.

00:53:43.240 --> 00:53:43.860
 When the Lord

00:53:43.860 --> 00:53:44.480
 made the world

00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:45.119
 at the beginning,

00:53:45.579 --> 00:53:46.340
 it was a world

00:53:46.340 --> 00:53:47.059
 of peace and

00:53:47.059 --> 00:53:47.920
 tranquility and

00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:48.300
 calm.

00:53:48.300 --> 00:53:50.100
 But we know

00:53:50.100 --> 00:53:51.340
 the impact when

00:53:51.340 --> 00:53:52.600
 sin entered in

00:53:52.600 --> 00:53:53.080
 the fall.

00:53:54.019 --> 00:53:54.880
 And you go to

00:53:54.880 --> 00:53:55.960
 Eden when it

00:53:55.960 --> 00:53:56.519
 is broken.

00:53:56.900 --> 00:53:57.519
 Not when it's

00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:58.160
 beautiful, but

00:53:58.160 --> 00:53:58.860
 when it's broken.

00:53:59.640 --> 00:54:00.620
 And all you see

00:54:00.620 --> 00:54:01.800
 there is expulsion

00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:03.340
 and separation

00:54:03.340 --> 00:54:05.220
 and restlessness

00:54:05.220 --> 00:54:06.280
 and death.

00:54:07.120 --> 00:54:08.000
 That's a world

00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:09.019
 you and I live

00:54:09.019 --> 00:54:09.220
 in.

00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:10.580
 Turn on any

00:54:10.580 --> 00:54:11.440
 news bulletin,

00:54:12.019 --> 00:54:12.740
 that's all we

00:54:12.740 --> 00:54:13.080
 see.

00:54:13.720 --> 00:54:14.340
 Brokenness,

00:54:14.560 --> 00:54:15.200
 restlessness,

00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:17.019
 separation,

00:54:17.460 --> 00:54:17.840
 death.

00:54:18.740 --> 00:54:19.580
 It's horrific

00:54:19.580 --> 00:54:20.340
 off on the

00:54:20.340 --> 00:54:21.100
 news and all

00:54:21.100 --> 00:54:21.680
 you're seeing

00:54:21.680 --> 00:54:22.780
 barbaric

00:54:22.780 --> 00:54:23.500
 situations,

00:54:23.700 --> 00:54:24.100
 killings,

00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:24.780
 stabbings,

00:54:24.980 --> 00:54:25.620
 injustice,

00:54:26.200 --> 00:54:26.560
 hatred,

00:54:26.800 --> 00:54:27.360
 violence.

00:54:29.620 --> 00:54:30.460
 Jesus came

00:54:30.460 --> 00:54:30.900
 into this

00:54:30.900 --> 00:54:31.440
 world because

00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:32.120
 he cares.

00:54:33.080 --> 00:54:33.480
 Do you

00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:33.800
 care?

00:54:33.900 --> 00:54:34.480
 The disciples

00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:34.980
 said, of

00:54:34.980 --> 00:54:35.500
 course I

00:54:35.500 --> 00:54:36.160
 care, says

00:54:36.160 --> 00:54:36.640
 the Lord.

00:54:37.640 --> 00:54:38.240
 That's why

00:54:38.240 --> 00:54:38.640
 I'm here

00:54:38.640 --> 00:54:40.120
 tonight offering

00:54:40.120 --> 00:54:41.560
 myself to

00:54:41.560 --> 00:54:41.880
 you.

00:54:43.600 --> 00:54:43.840
 And

00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:44.220
 remember

00:54:44.220 --> 00:54:45.860
 that the

00:54:45.860 --> 00:54:46.740
 trials that

00:54:46.740 --> 00:54:47.420
 the disciples

00:54:47.420 --> 00:54:48.140
 went through

00:54:48.139 --> 00:54:49.599
 brought them

00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:50.239
 to see a

00:54:50.239 --> 00:54:51.059
 greater glimpse

00:54:51.059 --> 00:54:51.719
 of the glory

00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:52.400
 of the Lord.

00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:53.460
 And so it

00:54:53.460 --> 00:54:53.960
 will be for

00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:54.159
 you.

00:54:54.460 --> 00:54:54.980
 You think,

00:54:55.199 --> 00:54:55.819
 has the Lord

00:54:55.819 --> 00:54:56.659
 forgotten me in

00:54:56.659 --> 00:54:57.119
 the trials?

00:54:57.219 --> 00:54:57.460
 Do you know

00:54:57.460 --> 00:54:57.859
 something?

00:54:58.359 --> 00:54:59.139
 You look back

00:54:59.139 --> 00:54:59.639
 and you'll say,

00:54:59.739 --> 00:54:59.940
 you know,

00:55:00.799 --> 00:55:01.639
 that trial

00:55:01.639 --> 00:55:02.319
 actually was

00:55:02.319 --> 00:55:03.400
 for my benefit.

00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:04.619
 I got a

00:55:04.619 --> 00:55:05.319
 glimpse of the

00:55:05.319 --> 00:55:06.039
 glory of God

00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:06.679
 I hadn't seen

00:55:06.679 --> 00:55:07.059
 before.

00:55:07.859 --> 00:55:08.759
 I was guilty

00:55:08.759 --> 00:55:09.460
 of looking on

00:55:09.460 --> 00:55:10.799
 Jesus as he

00:55:10.799 --> 00:55:11.319
 was,

00:55:12.019 --> 00:55:12.659
 rather than

00:55:12.659 --> 00:55:13.559
 who he is.

00:55:14.299 --> 00:55:14.699
 Now I'm

00:55:14.699 --> 00:55:15.279
 seeing him

00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:16.340
 for who he

00:55:16.340 --> 00:55:16.720
 is.

00:55:18.200 --> 00:55:18.780
 Well tonight

00:55:18.780 --> 00:55:19.340
 the captain

00:55:19.340 --> 00:55:20.280
 of our salvation

00:55:20.280 --> 00:55:20.820
 is on the

00:55:20.820 --> 00:55:21.360
 deck of the

00:55:21.360 --> 00:55:22.540
 ship and

00:55:22.540 --> 00:55:23.220
 he's inviting

00:55:23.220 --> 00:55:24.420
 us in to

00:55:24.420 --> 00:55:25.060
 come on board

00:55:25.060 --> 00:55:25.500
 with him.

00:55:26.440 --> 00:55:27.180
 He doesn't

00:55:27.180 --> 00:55:28.440
 guarantee us a

00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:29.160
 passage where

00:55:29.160 --> 00:55:29.740
 there won't be

00:55:29.740 --> 00:55:30.280
 storms,

00:55:31.160 --> 00:55:32.740
 but he guarantees

00:55:32.740 --> 00:55:33.480
 us a safe

00:55:33.480 --> 00:55:34.560
 passage to the

00:55:34.560 --> 00:55:34.940
 end.

00:55:35.680 --> 00:55:36.160
 And you know

00:55:36.160 --> 00:55:36.820
 what matters?

00:55:37.340 --> 00:55:38.000
 The end.

00:55:38.420 --> 00:55:39.100
 It's not how it

00:55:39.100 --> 00:55:39.600
 is halfway

00:55:39.600 --> 00:55:40.940
 through or even

00:55:40.940 --> 00:55:41.780
 three quarters of

00:55:41.780 --> 00:55:42.040
 the way

00:55:42.040 --> 00:55:42.300
 through.

00:55:43.700 --> 00:55:44.580
 It's how it

00:55:44.580 --> 00:55:45.400
 ends.

00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:46.380
 That's what

00:55:46.380 --> 00:55:46.860
 matters.

00:55:48.260 --> 00:55:49.080
 And when we
