WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.839 Hope like no other 00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:14.000 Hope like no other 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.000 Reaches to me 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.379 Lord, we thank you for John 00:00:25.379 --> 00:00:28.160 and ask that you will empower him now as he speaks to us 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:32.500 that we will be open to his message and its challenge for our lives 00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:33.039 Amen 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:39.880 When I saw my photo at the beginning it was a real inspiration to keep going to the gym 00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.399 They say when you look like your passport photo it's time for a holiday 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.539 When I look like that I think it's probably time for the morgue 00:00:46.539 --> 00:00:50.340 Just imagine this 00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:54.240 That I get back from church 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.120 just after this service 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.259 and I've been broken into 00:00:58.259 --> 00:01:00.459 For those of you who have been to my house 00:01:00.459 --> 00:01:02.919 you'd wonder how would you know you've been broken into 00:01:02.919 --> 00:01:05.920 But the doors are jarred, the locks 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:06.840 broken 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.640 and 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.420 even worse than that 00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:13.719 the perpetrator's still in the house 00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.459 and I've been going to the gym 00:01:16.459 --> 00:01:17.780 so I quite fancy myself 00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:19.500 in this confrontation 00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:20.640 and I guess I've got 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.159 four options 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.340 I guess the first is 00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:27.960 knowing I keep my cricket bat in the cupboard 00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:29.420 just by the door 00:01:29.420 --> 00:01:31.239 that I get it out 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:32.400 and set about the man 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:33.920 and show 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:35.680 what all the weight training in 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:36.980 Virgin Active has done 00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:38.519 to my bodily strength 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.140 I would show him vengeance 00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:42.560 my first option 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.420 My second option is 00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:46.340 that I would get my phone 00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:47.079 out of my pocket 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:48.519 and I would dial 999 00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:49.280 and say 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:50.740 Dear Police Scotland 00:01:50.740 --> 00:01:53.060 probably be a bit more hasty than that 00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:55.180 please could you send someone round 00:01:55.180 --> 00:01:57.379 I'm in the middle of being burgled 00:01:57.379 --> 00:01:58.700 and that would be justice 00:01:58.700 --> 00:01:59.960 getting what they deserve 00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:02.240 Thirdly perhaps 00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:03.359 I'd trap them in the kitchen 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:03.939 and I say 00:02:03.939 --> 00:02:04.300 you know 00:02:04.300 --> 00:02:05.659 you really shouldn't be doing this 00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:06.560 this is my house 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:07.140 not yours 00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:08.319 this is my things 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:08.980 not yours 00:02:08.979 --> 00:02:11.280 please leave 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.139 and we'll say no more about it 00:02:13.139 --> 00:02:13.859 that would be 00:02:13.859 --> 00:02:14.699 mercy 00:02:14.699 --> 00:02:16.699 the perpetrator 00:02:16.699 --> 00:02:18.379 wouldn't get what he did deserve 00:02:18.379 --> 00:02:21.319 but what if I did this 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:22.679 I said 00:02:22.679 --> 00:02:24.239 excuse me Mr. Perpetrator 00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:28.099 his name actually led to this crime 00:02:28.099 --> 00:02:29.819 and I said 00:02:29.819 --> 00:02:30.679 do you know 00:02:30.679 --> 00:02:32.560 I can see you're under a pretty difficult 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:34.599 you're having a pretty difficult time 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.560 why don't you just sit on the sofa 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.159 and I'll have a quick tidy up 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:39.900 and then we'll share my 00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:41.539 M&S microwave meal for one 00:02:41.539 --> 00:02:44.060 and we'll watch the football together 00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:46.560 and then perhaps we'll have an afternoon snooze 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.379 which is really what Sunday afternoon's for 00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:49.539 and then 00:02:49.539 --> 00:02:51.060 perhaps you could come back tomorrow 00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:52.400 and we'll have breakfast 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:52.979 and 00:02:52.979 --> 00:02:54.319 do you know I've got a spare room 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:55.579 why didn't you just move in 00:02:55.579 --> 00:02:57.539 and perhaps we can 00:02:57.539 --> 00:02:58.500 hang out together 00:02:58.500 --> 00:02:59.560 that would be grace 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:01.560 that he would get something 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:02.759 that he absolutely 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:04.780 doesn't 00:03:04.780 --> 00:03:05.579 deserve 00:03:05.580 --> 00:03:07.840 what we looked at 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:08.820 at the opening video 00:03:08.820 --> 00:03:10.300 unmerited favour 00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:11.360 God's 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:12.980 unmerited kindness 00:03:12.980 --> 00:03:14.600 towards us 00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:14.800 that 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:15.780 the perpetrator 00:03:15.780 --> 00:03:17.080 did nothing to deserve it 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:17.660 and yet 00:03:17.660 --> 00:03:19.680 you pour out grace 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.280 into his life 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:22.740 as 00:03:22.740 --> 00:03:23.480 we 00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:25.340 come and land in 00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:27.160 Exodus 3 and 4 today 00:03:27.160 --> 00:03:29.140 the absolute passage 00:03:29.140 --> 00:03:31.100 hinges on this kind of grace 00:03:31.099 --> 00:03:33.039 on the fact that God 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:34.799 has dealt far more kindly 00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:35.519 with Moses 00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:36.659 than he deserves 00:03:36.659 --> 00:03:38.000 that God has 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.500 reached out to Moses 00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:40.740 and done for Moses 00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:42.719 what he doesn't deserve 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.500 the big headline 00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:45.919 of these passages 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:46.840 is this 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.439 God steps forward 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.099 in grace 00:03:51.099 --> 00:03:53.139 God steps forward 00:03:53.139 --> 00:03:55.379 in grace 00:03:55.379 --> 00:03:57.599 God repeatedly deals 00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.039 more kindly with Moses 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.699 and his people 00:04:00.699 --> 00:04:02.379 than any of them 00:04:02.379 --> 00:04:02.819 deserve 00:04:02.819 --> 00:04:04.859 and this is very different 00:04:04.859 --> 00:04:05.959 to people's conception 00:04:05.959 --> 00:04:06.680 of God 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.459 that if people think 00:04:08.459 --> 00:04:09.299 about God at all 00:04:09.299 --> 00:04:09.979 he's some kind of 00:04:09.979 --> 00:04:10.699 headmaster 00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:12.340 like an evil version 00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:13.120 of Rosemary 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.219 who sits in the sky 00:04:15.219 --> 00:04:15.939 and waits for us 00:04:15.939 --> 00:04:16.659 to trip up 00:04:16.659 --> 00:04:17.399 so that then he can 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:18.159 call us up 00:04:18.159 --> 00:04:19.459 and give us detention 00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:20.599 and punish us 00:04:20.599 --> 00:04:21.879 that he's some kind 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:23.180 of cosmic scorekeeper 00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:23.860 that we're trying to 00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:24.819 keep the good stuff 00:04:24.819 --> 00:04:26.060 outweighing the bad 00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:27.139 but what we see 00:04:27.139 --> 00:04:28.740 revealed in this passage 00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:31.220 is that he's kind 00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:33.379 and he's gracious 00:04:33.379 --> 00:04:35.019 and he's repeatedly 00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:36.040 stepping forward 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:37.180 towards us 00:04:37.180 --> 00:04:38.600 treating us far more 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:39.180 kindly 00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:40.680 than we deserve 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.560 so if you've got a Bible 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:43.819 please turn with me 00:04:43.819 --> 00:04:46.019 to Exodus chapter 3 00:04:46.019 --> 00:04:47.079 Exodus is the second 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:47.900 book of the Bible 00:04:47.900 --> 00:04:49.000 if you're not used 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.000 to dealing with the Bible 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:50.960 then the big numbers 00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:51.780 they're the chapters 00:04:51.780 --> 00:04:52.840 so you're looking 00:04:52.840 --> 00:04:53.900 for big number 3 00:04:53.900 --> 00:04:54.900 and we're going to 00:04:54.900 --> 00:04:56.019 start reading in verse 1 00:04:56.019 --> 00:04:57.139 which is a little number 00:04:57.139 --> 00:04:57.979 1 00:04:57.979 --> 00:04:58.560 you might need 00:04:58.560 --> 00:04:59.539 your reading glasses 00:04:59.539 --> 00:05:00.979 for 00:05:00.979 --> 00:05:05.919 and Moses' life 00:05:05.919 --> 00:05:07.319 has been one 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:08.279 of two halves 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:09.879 when we dip into 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:10.680 Exodus 3 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:11.979 he's about 80 years old 00:05:11.979 --> 00:05:12.620 is anyone here 00:05:12.620 --> 00:05:13.019 80? 00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:17.360 exactly 80 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.759 close to 80 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.219 Gordon and Finlay 00:05:21.219 --> 00:05:23.099 about their kind of age 00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:25.180 and it's been a life 00:05:25.180 --> 00:05:25.860 of two halves 00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:27.420 40 years spent in Egypt 00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:30.300 40 years in Midian 00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:32.020 40 years as the son 00:05:32.020 --> 00:05:32.660 of a Pharaoh 00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:35.540 40 years looking 00:05:35.540 --> 00:05:36.620 after some sheep 00:05:36.620 --> 00:05:38.980 and we meet Moses 00:05:38.980 --> 00:05:39.760 and the one thing 00:05:39.760 --> 00:05:40.879 you'd say about his life 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.220 is that it's an epic fail 00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:45.020 it's an epic fail 00:05:45.020 --> 00:05:47.320 he's a failed prince 00:05:47.320 --> 00:05:49.060 a murdering fugitive 00:05:49.060 --> 00:05:50.160 a lowly shepherd 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.040 he has a broken spirit 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.460 and he's in the back 00:05:53.460 --> 00:05:53.980 of beyond 00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:55.460 the Scottish equivalent 00:05:55.460 --> 00:05:56.120 of Alua 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.260 and you can imagine 00:05:58.260 --> 00:05:59.560 that he's saying 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:00.360 to himself 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:01.620 every day 00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:02.580 if only 00:06:02.580 --> 00:06:04.580 if only I hadn't 00:06:04.580 --> 00:06:05.460 killed that Egyptian 00:06:05.460 --> 00:06:07.260 if only I hadn't 00:06:07.260 --> 00:06:08.360 covered it up 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.860 if only I hadn't 00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:10.620 had ideas 00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:11.740 above my station 00:06:11.740 --> 00:06:12.820 then it might have 00:06:12.820 --> 00:06:13.700 been really different 00:06:13.700 --> 00:06:16.220 40 years 00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:18.360 looking after sheep 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.560 no way back 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.240 alienated from God 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.040 alienated from God's 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:26.300 people 00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:27.160 which is always 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:28.139 the result of sin 00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:30.900 alienation from God 00:06:30.900 --> 00:06:32.780 alienation 00:06:32.780 --> 00:06:34.300 from God's people 00:06:34.300 --> 00:06:36.960 epic fail 00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:39.180 living in the light 00:06:39.180 --> 00:06:40.100 of what might 00:06:40.100 --> 00:06:41.160 have been 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.800 nothing he can do 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.319 alone 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:46.759 in the wilderness 00:06:46.759 -->
