00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.240
 Y'all didn't go to sleep, did you?

00:00:04.339 --> 00:00:05.660
 Sometimes I keep going.

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:13.040
 We continue this morning in our series in the Psalms,

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:15.080
 and we've got just a few more here.

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:16.660
 Summer is drawing to a close.

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:17.879
 School is around the corner,

00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:24.000
 but it has been exciting to see the truth of scriptures

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.699
 through the eyes of the psalmist.

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.519
 And this morning we will see through the eyes of David

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:31.980
 these truths this morning,

00:00:32.259 --> 00:00:36.000
 and I hope that it will resonate with us,

00:00:36.019 --> 00:00:38.980
 and I hope that God would touch our heart with these truths.

00:00:38.980 --> 00:00:41.200
 And before we stand and read it,

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:42.519
 I would just say this,

00:00:42.619 --> 00:00:44.359
 is that David this morning,

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:46.879
 as we read, or David in Psalm 28,

00:00:47.019 --> 00:00:48.000
 which we were reading this morning,

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:53.920
 he indicates or he talks about

00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.859
 or he distinguishes two different groups of people in this psalm.

00:00:57.859 --> 00:01:01.539
 And as he talks about these two groups of people,

00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:03.159
 he really makes a distinction

00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.340
 that there's really one main thing

00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:08.079
 that differentiates these two groups.

00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:10.120
 So two groups of people,

00:01:10.459 --> 00:01:12.200
 one main difference this morning.

00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.140
 That's what I ask you to look for as we read it.

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:15.939
 I would ask you,

00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.039
 in honor of the Word of God,

00:01:18.099 --> 00:01:20.500
 would you stand this morning as we read Psalm 28?

00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:29.719
 Psalm 28, a Psalm of David.

00:01:30.379 --> 00:01:34.040
 To you, O Lord, I call my rock.

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.780
 Be not deaf to me,

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.719
 lest if you should be silent to me,

00:01:39.939 --> 00:01:42.579
 I become like those who go down to the pit.

00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:46.200
 Hear the voice of my plea for mercy

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.340
 when I cry to you for help.

00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:50.900
 When I lift up my hands

00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:52.719
 towards your most holy sanctuary,

00:01:53.420 --> 00:01:55.640
 do not drag me off with the wicked,

00:01:56.320 --> 00:01:57.960
 with the workers of evil

00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:00.920
 who speak peace with their neighbors

00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.600
 while evil is in their hearts.

00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:06.740
 Give to them according to their work

00:02:06.740 --> 00:02:10.060
 and according to the evil of their deeds.

00:02:10.460 --> 00:02:13.699
 Give to them according to the work of their hands.

00:02:13.699 --> 00:02:16.699
 Render them their due reward

00:02:16.699 --> 00:02:19.939
 because they do not regard the work of the Lord

00:02:19.939 --> 00:02:22.019
 or the work of His hands.

00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.079
 He will tear them down

00:02:24.079 --> 00:02:26.299
 and build them up no more.

00:02:27.119 --> 00:02:28.659
 Blessed be the Lord,

00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.060
 for He has heard the voice of my plea for mercy.

00:02:32.839 --> 00:02:35.379
 The Lord is my strength and my shield.

00:02:35.939 --> 00:02:39.259
 In Him my heart trusts and I am helped.

00:02:39.419 --> 00:02:41.500
 My heart greatly rejoices.

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:44.560
 And with my song I give thanks to Him.

00:02:45.419 --> 00:02:47.840
 The Lord is the strength of His people.

00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.860
 He is the saving refuge of His anointed.

00:02:52.099 --> 00:02:53.659
 Oh, save your people

00:02:53.659 --> 00:02:55.800
 and bless your heritage.

00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.680
 Be their shepherd and carry them forever.

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:03.500
 God, we are grateful for this truth,

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.000
 these truths and this psalm

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.300
 and the reality of your mercy

00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:12.759
 and how great it is that you would save.

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.159
 And so God, this morning,

00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:15.900
 would you open our ears

00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:17.719
 that we might hear spiritually?

00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.280
 Would you open our hearts

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:21.300
 that we might receive

00:03:21.300 --> 00:03:22.900
 the message you have for us this morning?

00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:24.360
 In this I pray in Christ's name.

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:24.979
 Amen.

00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:26.120
 You can have a seat.

00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:32.780
 Did you notice the two groups of people

00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:35.280
 that David draws our attention to this morning?

00:03:38.980 --> 00:03:40.300
 Even in verse 1,

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:41.980
 we see him talking about

00:03:41.980 --> 00:03:44.159
 a group of people.

00:03:45.259 --> 00:03:46.379
 In verse 1, he says,

00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.140
 those who go down to the pit.

00:03:50.040 --> 00:03:51.480
 Those who go down to the pit.

00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:52.680
 Who are those?

00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:53.740
 Who are the ones

00:03:53.740 --> 00:03:55.599
 that go down to the pit?

00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:56.939
 Well, in verse 3,

00:03:57.819 --> 00:04:01.539
 he further explains who they are.

00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:04.120
 Verse 3 says,

00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.359
 do not drag me off with the wicked.

00:04:08.519 --> 00:04:09.560
 It's the wicked,

00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.280
 this group of people

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.359
 that are categorized as wicked.

00:04:15.939 --> 00:04:18.620
 And David says that their destination

00:04:18.620 --> 00:04:21.019
 is the pit,

00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:25.060
 that they will be dragged off to the pit.

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:26.520
 And so this morning,

00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:28.980
 as we look at these two groups of people,

00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:31.500
 I want to look at three different aspects

00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:33.200
 of both of these groups.

00:04:33.700 --> 00:04:36.620
 Three aspects of both of these groups.

00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:38.400
 I haven't even shown you,

00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:39.980
 or we haven't talked yet

00:04:39.980 --> 00:04:41.220
 about that second group,

00:04:41.340 --> 00:04:44.900
 but I will draw your attention

00:04:44.900 --> 00:04:46.120
 to verse 9,

00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:47.280
 and we'll see exactly

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:49.460
 who the second group of people is.

00:04:49.459 --> 00:04:50.979
 David says,

00:04:50.979 --> 00:04:53.319
 oh, save your people,

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.079
 the people of God.

00:04:56.139 --> 00:04:58.139
 So we have these two categories,

00:04:58.279 --> 00:04:59.719
 this category of the wicked

00:04:59.719 --> 00:05:03.079
 and this category of the people of God.

00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.359
 Totally different spectrum.

00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:08.279
 And what we're going to look at

00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:09.240
 in this psalm this morning

00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.339
 as we hear what David says

00:05:11.339 --> 00:05:13.240
 about these two groups of people,

00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:14.779
 you're going to see a great division.

00:05:14.779 --> 00:05:15.599
 But really,

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.579
 there's one main distinguishing truth

00:05:18.579 --> 00:05:21.139
 that separates these two groups of people.

00:05:22.179 --> 00:05:26.279
 Now, it plays itself out very uniquely,

00:05:26.779 --> 00:05:28.719
 but really there's one group,

00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:30.159
 and one main truth,

00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.679
 we've heard it this morning already,

00:05:32.119 --> 00:05:33.979
 read when Dick was up here,

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.039
 and we'll talk about that as we go forward.

00:05:36.239 --> 00:05:36.899
 First this,

00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.719
 what is the destination of the wicked?

00:05:40.779 --> 00:05:42.679
 The destination of the wicked.

00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.699
 Well, we've already made this point

00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:47.980
 that the destination of the wicked is the pit.

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.439
 Well, what does the pit refer to?

00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:52.680
 You know,

00:05:53.660 --> 00:05:54.660
 we would,

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.300
 in prayer sometimes,

00:05:56.540 --> 00:05:58.439
 talk about the pit.

00:05:58.579 --> 00:06:00.720
 We would talk about the destination

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.100
 as being hell.

00:06:04.460 --> 00:06:04.759
 You know,

00:06:04.840 --> 00:06:06.120
 he doesn't amplify,

00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:08.439
 doesn't talk much about what it is,

00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:10.000
 but he does say that

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.899
 the wicked go down to this place,

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:13.399
 the pit.

00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:15.920
 They're dragged off,

00:06:16.339 --> 00:06:17.379
 in verse 3,

00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.180
 to this place called the pit.

00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:20.360
 And so it begs the question,

00:06:20.779 --> 00:06:21.000
 David,

00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:22.300
 what are you talking about?

00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:23.579
 You know,

00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:25.860
 we probably already know,

00:06:26.139 --> 00:06:26.819
 because we,

00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.480
 many of us have read widely in the scriptures,

00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.360
 I would refer to

00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.120
 what Paul says,

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:35.639
 Apostle Paul,

00:06:35.779 --> 00:06:37.779
 to the church in Thessalonica.

00:06:37.779 --> 00:06:41.500
 He talks about the destination of the wicked.

00:06:41.679 --> 00:06:42.719
 And here's what he says,

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.059
 reading in 2 Thessalonians,

00:06:45.119 --> 00:06:45.759
 it says this,

00:06:46.739 --> 00:06:49.099
 and he's talking to this church,

00:06:49.219 --> 00:06:50.779
 these Thessalonians,

00:06:50.779 --> 00:06:53.019
 who are being heavily persecuted.

00:06:53.859 --> 00:06:55.639
 And he's encouraging them.

00:06:57.379 --> 00:06:59.099
 He talks about their suffering,

00:06:59.359 --> 00:07:00.059
 and he says this,

00:07:00.119 --> 00:07:03.039
 since indeed God considers it just

00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.240
 to repay with affliction

00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:06.960
 those who afflict you,

00:07:07.460 --> 00:07:09.740
 and to grant relief to you

00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:10.700
 who are afflicted,

00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:11.700
 as well as to us,

00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:13.379
 when the Lord Jesus

00:07:13.379 --> 00:07:14.700
 is revealed from heaven

00:07:14.700 --> 00:07:15.960
 with his mighty angels,

00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:17.780
 in flaming fire,

00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:19.980
 inflicting vengeance

00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:22.360
 on those who do not know God,

00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.020
 and on those who do not obey

00:07:25.020 --> 00:07:27.780
 the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:28.620
 And here,

00:07:29.259 --> 00:07:30.160
 in verse 9,

00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:31.759
 he shares the destination.

00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:33.240
 He says this,

00:07:34.459 --> 00:07:36.399
 they will suffer the punishment

00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.680
 of eternal destruction

00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.360
 away from the presence of the Lord

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.620
 and from the glory of his might.

00:07:44.599 --> 00:07:46.759
 They will suffer the punishment

00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:51.939
 of eternal destruction

00:07:51.939 --> 00:07:55.680
 away from the presence of the Lord.

00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.620
 Does that strike you?

00:08:02.579 --> 00:08:04.079
 Can you imagine

00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:07.280
 what that actually is like?

00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:11.199
 That there's no grace at all.

00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:12.560
 You know that all of us

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.300
 experience the common grace of God?

00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.160
 We all experience the blessings of God.

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.879
 All of mankind experiences

00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:20.899
 the common blessings

00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:22.500
 that God gives to all of us.

00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:24.180
 But there's coming a day

00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:24.980
 for the wicked

00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:27.000
 when they will no longer

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.560
 experience the grace of God.

00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:31.800
 In any respect,

00:08:31.939 --> 00:08:33.259
 they'll no longer

00:08:33.259 --> 00:08:35.639
 be in his presence.

00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:36.580
 They'll be eternally

00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:37.879
 separated from him.

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.399
 If you remove all goodness,

00:08:40.539 --> 00:08:41.940
 which God is a source of good,

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:43.700
 from their lives,

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:44.980
 from the life of anyone,

00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:46.100
 if you removed all goodness,

00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:47.120
 what do we have left?

00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.120
 We would probably use the term hell.

00:08:51.539 --> 00:08:53.659
 And we could read in Revelation,

00:08:53.779 --> 00:08:54.700
 the book of Revelation,

00:08:54.740 --> 00:08:57.279
 when it talks about in symbolism,

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.159
 the beast and the harlot

00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:02.560
 and the dragon,

00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:04.360
 when they are removed,

00:09:04.700 --> 00:09:06.659
 when they are ultimately destroyed.

00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.480
 You remember what Revelation says?

00:09:08.539 --> 00:09:09.899
 It says they will be cast

00:09:09.899 --> 00:09:11.440
 into the lake of fire.

00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.740
 This place where worm does not die

00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:18.140
 is what the scriptures talk about.

00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:23.860
 This place of unending pain.

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:27.360
 And that's the destination

00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:28.240
 of the wicked.

00:09:28.380 --> 00:09:28.760
 But you know,

00:09:28.820 --> 00:09:30.320
 it doesn't have to be so.

00:09:31.520 --> 00:09:32.900
 Doesn't God offer,

00:09:33.660 --> 00:09:35.400
 doesn't he offer salvation

00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:36.940
 to any who would come to him?

00:09:36.940 --> 00:09:43.600
 This extension of his grace to all

00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:44.840
 is open to all.

00:09:46.060 --> 00:09:46.720
 But you know,

00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.840
 it's not unjust what God is saying here.

00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:52.840
 It's not unjust how David is pointing us

00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.580
 to the destination of the wicked.

00:09:54.920 --> 00:09:56.020
 The second point is this.

00:09:56.100 --> 00:09:57.140
 Look at their deeds.

00:09:58.280 --> 00:10:00.680
 If you look at the deeds of the wicked,

00:10:00.900 --> 00:10:02.460
 then we would say it's just,

00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:04.160
 it's right that the holy God

00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:04.960
 would punish,

00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:05.800
 would judge

00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.539
 based on their deeds.

00:10:07.599 --> 00:10:09.039
 And what do you see here in verse 3?

00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.039
 They're workers of evil.

00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:15.559
 They speak peace.

00:10:15.659 --> 00:10:16.139
 In other words,

00:10:16.219 --> 00:10:19.079
 they say something that sounds very

00:10:19.079 --> 00:10:20.579
 gentle,

00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:21.939
 very loving,

00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:23.199
 very peace-filled,

00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:23.719
 and yet,

00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:25.859
 even when they speak it,

00:10:25.899 --> 00:10:27.039
 there's evil in their hearts.

00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:28.599
 They're quick to deceive.

00:10:31.959 --> 00:10:34.620
 He talks about in verse 4

00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:37.000
 that their deeds are evil.

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:40.460
 And he also says

00:10:40.460 --> 00:10:42.460
 the works of their hands are evil.

00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:45.779
 And then he goes on to say,

00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:46.060
 God,

00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.899
 render to them their due reward.

00:10:49.560 --> 00:10:51.159
 So I ask the question of us,

00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:51.419
 church,

00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:52.639
 is it right

00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.500
 that God would punish eternally

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:55.320
 those who

00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.299
 walk

00:10:57.299 --> 00:10:59.360
 in these evil ways,

00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:00.879
 those who choose

00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.139
 what is evil?

00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:05.460
 Those who would be classified

00:11:05.460 --> 00:11:06.259
 as wicked.

00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:08.820
 Is it right that God would punish?

00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:09.419
 The answer,

00:11:09.899 --> 00:11:10.639
 biblically speaking,

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.519
 is absolutely.

00:11:12.019 --> 00:11:13.279
 We don't understand

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:14.639
 the great holiness of God.

00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:18.019
 We understand it cognitively,

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:20.120
 and we've embraced it somewhat,

00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:21.220
 but it's far greater,

00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:21.679
 I think,

00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:22.960
 than we can fathom.

00:11:25.100 --> 00:11:26.319
 But I want you to see

00:11:26.319 --> 00:11:27.240
 that their destination

00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:28.639
 is eternal separation.

00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:29.419
 Why?

00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.019
 Because their deeds.

00:11:32.139 --> 00:11:34.079
 Because their deeds are evil.

00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.139
 They do not honor God in any way.

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:38.939
 They do not do what is righteous.

00:11:40.659 --> 00:11:42.659
 They do not do what is loving.

00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.299
 Even what appears to be loving

00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:46.939
 is backed up in their heart

00:11:46.940 --> 00:11:47.660
 with deception.

00:11:49.700 --> 00:11:51.520
 So the way that they would be

00:11:51.520 --> 00:11:52.240
 categorized,

00:11:52.280 --> 00:11:52.680
 this group,

00:11:52.760 --> 00:11:53.220
 is wicked.

00:11:56.660 --> 00:11:58.020
 And so their destination

00:11:58.020 --> 00:11:59.300
 is eternal separation.

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:00.700
 Because their deeds

00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:02.560
 are wicked,

00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:04.900
 why are their deeds wicked?

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:06.520
 Why would they walk

00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:07.300
 in such a way?

00:12:07.300 --> 00:12:08.980
 Why would they choose

00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:09.660
 to

00:12:09.660 --> 00:12:13.040
 mistreat

00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:15.040
 and dishonor

00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:16.340
 and deceive

00:12:16.340 --> 00:12:17.720
 and hurt

00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:19.080
 and wound

00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.139
 and kill?

00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:20.920
 Why?

00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:22.160
 Well,

00:12:22.340 --> 00:12:24.259
 the Word of God says why.

00:12:24.340 --> 00:12:25.519
 Because their hearts,

00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:27.519
 their hearts

00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.300
 are far away from God.

00:12:31.160 --> 00:12:32.340
 Their hearts

00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:34.480
 are full of evil.

00:12:34.560 --> 00:12:35.560
 You see it in verse 3?

00:12:37.300 --> 00:12:38.340
 While evil

00:12:38.340 --> 00:12:39.620
 is in their hearts,

00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:40.440
 their hearts

00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:41.980
 are full of evil.

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:42.039
 people.

00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:44.360
 You know,

00:12:44.460 --> 00:12:45.320
 in verse 5,

00:12:45.379 --> 00:12:47.759
 I think this is the difference

00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.000
 between these two groups

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:50.519
 of people.

00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:51.820
 We'll talk more deeply

00:12:51.820 --> 00:12:52.420
 about this

00:12:52.420 --> 00:12:53.420
 as we look at it.

00:12:53.620 --> 00:12:54.379
 But in verse 5,

00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:56.500
 listen to what David says

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:58.159
 about this group

00:12:58.159 --> 00:12:59.100
 called the wicked.

00:12:59.899 --> 00:13:00.700
 He says this,

00:13:00.700 --> 00:13:02.519
 they do not regard

00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:03.600
 the works

00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:04.580
 of the Lord

00:13:04.580 --> 00:13:08.100
 or the works

00:13:08.100 --> 00:13:08.659
 of His hand.

00:13:08.659 --> 00:13:10.539
 They do not regard.

00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:13.519
 They do not look.

00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:14.759
 They do not praise.

00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:15.939
 They do not notice.

00:13:16.079 --> 00:13:17.240
 They do not care.

00:13:18.259 --> 00:13:19.539
 All that the Lord

00:13:19.539 --> 00:13:20.039
 has done

00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:21.559
 and all of His grace

00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:22.620
 that has been poured out

00:13:22.620 --> 00:13:23.120
 on mankind,

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.860
 they do not care.

00:13:26.219 --> 00:13:27.779
 They do not regard it.

00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:28.120
 Why?

00:13:28.219 --> 00:13:29.360
 Because their hearts

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.679
 are evil.

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:34.159
 Though God

00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:35.339
 proclaims

00:13:35.339 --> 00:13:35.959
 His greatness

00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:37.440
 in all of His creation.

00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:39.540
 When y'all look

00:13:39.540 --> 00:13:41.800
 at what is created,

00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:42.580
 do you marvel?

00:13:42.780 --> 00:13:44.080
 Do you find yourself

00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:44.360
 going,

00:13:44.540 --> 00:13:44.780
 wow,

00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:46.800
 wow.

00:13:48.680 --> 00:13:49.220
 You know,

00:13:49.280 --> 00:13:50.600
 I think when I was young

00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:51.900
 and first in the faith,

00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:53.620
 even before I was a Christian,

00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:54.840
 I still marveled

00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.060
 at the complexity of things.

00:13:56.160 --> 00:13:57.860
 I think I'm just wired that way.

00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:58.980
 But once I came

00:13:58.980 --> 00:13:59.800
 into the kingdom,

00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:01.139
 it all tied together

00:14:01.139 --> 00:14:01.680
 as this is

00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:02.920
 the handiwork of God.

00:14:04.300 --> 00:14:04.780
 And so,

00:14:04.779 --> 00:14:06.559
 things that I've noticed

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:08.799
 under a microscope,

00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:10.220
 things that I've noticed

00:14:10.220 --> 00:14:11.319
 on top of a mountain

00:14:11.319 --> 00:14:12.399
 and looking out

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:13.240
 and seeing,

00:14:13.379 --> 00:14:14.919
 it just makes us

00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:15.839
 worship,

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:16.439
 doesn't it?

00:14:17.339 --> 00:14:18.819
 It amazes.

00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:19.679
 And yet,

00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:20.740
 those who are wicked

00:14:20.740 --> 00:14:21.679
 is as if they don't

00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:22.360
 even notice.

00:14:23.319 --> 00:14:24.339
 There's no worship,

00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:25.220
 no praise,

00:14:25.620 --> 00:14:26.899
 no real interest

00:14:26.899 --> 00:14:27.819
 in their hearts.

00:14:28.139 --> 00:14:28.860
 Their hearts

00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:29.740
 do not

00:14:29.740 --> 00:14:30.600
 regard

00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:31.439
 the Lord.

00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:34.039
 Let me ask this.

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:35.079
 Do you see yourself

00:14:35.079 --> 00:14:35.639
 in the picture

00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:36.879
 of this group of people,

00:14:36.980 --> 00:14:37.339
 these wicked?

00:14:41.439 --> 00:14:42.099
 You know,

00:14:42.299 --> 00:14:43.679
 for those of us

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:44.779
 who've been changed,

00:14:44.939 --> 00:14:45.740
 for those of us

00:14:45.740 --> 00:14:47.059
 who've been born again,

00:14:47.199 --> 00:14:47.959
 for those of us

00:14:47.959 --> 00:14:48.639
 who've been drawn

00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:49.419
 into His kingdom,

00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:51.500
 for those of us

00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:52.639
 that call ourselves

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:53.879
 and really genuinely

00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:55.179
 are born again Christians,

00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:56.099
 you know,

00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:56.579
 it's different,

00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:57.000
 isn't it?

00:14:58.360 --> 00:14:59.039
 We say,

00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.500
 no, no, no,

00:14:59.539 --> 00:15:00.719
 we're not like that.

00:15:00.939 --> 00:15:02.219
 We're not wicked.

00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:03.440
 We don't have evil

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:03.920
 in our heart.

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:04.980
 But let me ask this.

00:15:05.060 --> 00:15:05.660
 Was there a time

00:15:05.660 --> 00:15:06.100
 when you did?

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.580
 You know,

00:15:10.680 --> 00:15:10.820
 we,

00:15:11.180 --> 00:15:12.580
 even before we accepted

00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:13.720
 Christ as Lord and Savior

00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:14.940
 and understood our need

00:15:14.940 --> 00:15:15.519
 and our sin

00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:16.259
 and our separation

00:15:16.259 --> 00:15:17.180
 from the Holy God,

00:15:17.560 --> 00:15:18.259
 our rebellion,

00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:19.980
 even before

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:22.639
 we came into the kingdom,

00:15:24.220 --> 00:15:25.060
 you know,

00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:26.019
 we weren't as bad

00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:27.200
 as we could have been.

00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:30.580
 it's possible

00:15:30.580 --> 00:15:32.140
 to be more evil,

00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:33.500
 but you know what

00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:34.560
 the Word of God says?

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:35.420
 It says there's nothing

00:15:35.420 --> 00:15:36.100
 good in us

00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:37.920
 before Christ.

00:15:39.680 --> 00:15:40.640
 And I wonder

00:15:40.640 --> 00:15:42.700
 if we see ourselves

00:15:42.700 --> 00:15:45.320
 in the rebellion

00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.580
 that we used to be in

00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:50.100
 when we were in Adam.

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:52.540
 So I ask this question

00:15:52.540 --> 00:15:53.420
 and you've heard it

00:15:53.420 --> 00:15:53.980
 if you've been around

00:15:53.980 --> 00:15:54.879
 this church for long,

00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:55.820
 you've been in Sunday school

00:15:55.820 --> 00:15:57.120
 or even from the pulpit,

00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:58.480
 I've mentioned this,

00:15:58.640 --> 00:16:01.180
 the natural state of man.

00:16:01.280 --> 00:16:03.100
 What is the natural state of man?

00:16:04.620 --> 00:16:04.920
 You know,

00:16:04.980 --> 00:16:06.580
 there's four options here

00:16:06.580 --> 00:16:08.660
 and I think there's

00:16:08.660 --> 00:16:09.660
 a lot of confusion

00:16:09.660 --> 00:16:10.720
 even in the hearts

00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:11.480
 and understanding

00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:12.580
 and the minds of Christians.

00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:13.879
 They don't really know

00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:15.060
 how to answer this question.

00:16:15.379 --> 00:16:17.540
 What is the natural state of man?

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:20.400
 Well, he could be,

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.940
 man could be 100% good

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:24.420
 in everything he does,

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:25.240
 in every way,

00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:26.060
 in every thought,

00:16:26.140 --> 00:16:26.900
 in every desire.

00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:28.860
 We would quickly say,

00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:29.700
 well, that's not me.

00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:32.600
 But some say,

00:16:32.820 --> 00:16:33.259
 we are,

00:16:33.580 --> 00:16:34.540
 as humans,

00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:35.900
 we're mostly good

00:16:35.900 --> 00:16:37.640
 with a little bit of bad.

00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:39.360
 And a lot of people

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:40.160
 would land there.

00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:41.400
 We're mostly good

00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:43.100
 with a little bit of bad.

00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:44.800
 Some would go on

00:16:44.800 --> 00:16:45.320
 to say,

00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:45.960
 no, no, no,

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:46.960
 that's not quite right.

00:16:47.300 --> 00:16:48.200
 What I find is

00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:49.340
 we're mostly bad,

00:16:49.400 --> 00:16:50.040
 but there's good

00:16:50.040 --> 00:16:50.740
 in everybody.

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:51.340
 There's at least

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:52.160
 some good

00:16:52.160 --> 00:16:53.420
 in everybody.

00:16:54.339 --> 00:16:54.919
 And then some

00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:55.439
 would go on

00:16:55.439 --> 00:16:56.259
 to make the claim

00:16:56.259 --> 00:16:56.799
 that no, no, no,

00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:57.899
 that's not right either.

00:16:58.079 --> 00:16:59.199
 There's nothing good in us.

00:16:59.259 --> 00:16:59.879
 We're all bad.

00:17:00.479 --> 00:17:00.939
 So you see

00:17:00.939 --> 00:17:01.919
 the four options here?

00:17:02.339 --> 00:17:03.620
 Either we're all good,

00:17:04.099 --> 00:17:04.859
 mostly good

00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:05.799
 with a little bad,

00:17:05.980 --> 00:17:06.700
 mostly bad

00:17:06.700 --> 00:17:07.659
 with a little good,

00:17:07.740 --> 00:17:08.639
 or we're all bad,

00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:09.519
 which is true.

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:10.200
 Well,

00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:11.200
 let's let the Word of God

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:11.779
 declare it.

00:17:13.379 --> 00:17:15.119
 Let's let the Word of God

00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:16.420
 answer this question

00:17:16.420 --> 00:17:18.740
 so that we recognize

00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:21.279
 the truth.

00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:24.940
 Listen to

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:27.259
 this section of Scripture

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:27.960
 that was read

00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:29.160
 this morning by Dick.

00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:30.860
 Did y'all catch

00:17:30.860 --> 00:17:32.600
 who we used to be?

00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:33.279
 Now,

00:17:33.320 --> 00:17:34.600
 Paul is saying this

00:17:34.600 --> 00:17:36.560
 about all of mankind.

00:17:37.320 --> 00:17:38.380
 All of mankind.

00:17:40.060 --> 00:17:41.120
 He says this.

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:41.480
 He said,

00:17:41.620 --> 00:17:42.640
 you were dead,

00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:44.440
 spiritually dead.

00:17:44.900 --> 00:17:45.259
 Why?

00:17:45.259 --> 00:17:46.640
 Because of your trespasses

00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:47.200
 and sins

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.200
 in which you once walked.

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:51.339
 Following the course

00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:52.000
 of this world,

00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:53.559
 following the devil,

00:17:53.859 --> 00:17:54.660
 the prince of the power

00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:55.140
 of the air,

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:56.519
 the spirit that is now

00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:57.220
 still working

00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:59.119
 in the sons of disobedience,

00:17:59.220 --> 00:18:00.279
 those who have not

00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:01.059
 acknowledged God.

00:18:01.220 --> 00:18:02.579
 He's still very actively

00:18:02.579 --> 00:18:03.539
 at work in the hearts

00:18:03.539 --> 00:18:03.980
 of them.

00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:08.220
 Among whom

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:10.160
 we all once lived

00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:11.019
 in the passions

00:18:11.019 --> 00:18:12.160
 of our flesh

00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:13.359
 carrying out the desires

00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:14.019
 of the body

00:18:14.019 --> 00:18:14.619
 and the mind

00:18:14.619 --> 00:18:16.079
 and were by nature

00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:17.039
 children of wrath.

00:18:18.539 --> 00:18:19.559
 Do you embrace

00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:20.519
 that as true for you?

00:18:22.239 --> 00:18:23.779
 If that is true,

00:18:23.939 --> 00:18:24.679
 which one of those

00:18:24.679 --> 00:18:25.919
 four seems to be true?

00:18:29.339 --> 00:18:30.539
 We once walked

00:18:30.539 --> 00:18:31.479
 following the course

00:18:31.479 --> 00:18:32.039
 of this world.

00:18:32.159 --> 00:18:33.259
 We were by nature

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:34.439
 children of wrath.

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.159
 Let's look at another place

00:18:36.159 --> 00:18:37.559
 in the book of Romans,

00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:40.480
 which is Paul's

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:42.819
 explanation for this

00:18:42.819 --> 00:18:43.700
 very same thing.

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:44.179
 He says,

00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:45.339
 the Jews,

00:18:45.539 --> 00:18:46.980
 he's arguing

00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:48.159
 with the Jews

00:18:48.159 --> 00:18:48.500
 to say,

00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:48.659
 hey,

00:18:48.700 --> 00:18:49.419
 you're no better

00:18:49.419 --> 00:18:50.319
 than the Gentiles.

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:51.480
 Why do you think

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:52.779
 that your nationality

00:18:52.779 --> 00:18:53.759
 is going to save you?

00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:58.059
 Just because you're a Jew

00:18:58.059 --> 00:18:59.200
 and you were a part

00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:00.319
 of the tribe

00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:01.039
 of Israel,

00:19:01.299 --> 00:19:02.339
 it doesn't mean

00:19:02.339 --> 00:19:03.099
 that you immediately

00:19:03.099 --> 00:19:03.899
 get a free ticket

00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:04.300
 to heaven.

00:19:04.360 --> 00:19:04.640
 He says,

00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:05.340
 no, no, no.

00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:06.140
 Listen to what

00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:07.320
 the word of God

00:19:07.320 --> 00:19:08.620
 says in Psalm 14

00:19:08.620 --> 00:19:09.700
 and Psalm 53,

00:19:10.100 --> 00:19:10.660
 which is what

00:19:10.660 --> 00:19:11.620
 David is quoting here.

00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:12.620
 David says this,

00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.060
 are we Jews

00:19:15.060 --> 00:19:15.920
 any better off?

00:19:15.980 --> 00:19:16.200
 No,

00:19:16.280 --> 00:19:16.980
 not at all.

00:19:17.860 --> 00:19:18.460
 For we have

00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:19.460
 already charged

00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:19.940
 that all,

00:19:19.940 --> 00:19:20.640
 both Jews

00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:21.180
 and Greeks

00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:21.880
 are under sin

00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:22.700
 as it is written.

00:19:23.840 --> 00:19:24.800
 None is righteous.

00:19:25.040 --> 00:19:25.160
 No,

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:25.820
 not one,

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:26.840
 not one,

00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:28.540
 not one person

00:19:28.539 --> 00:19:29.700
 on the face

00:19:29.700 --> 00:19:30.639
 of the planet

00:19:30.639 --> 00:19:31.519
 is righteous.

00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:34.559
 No one seeks

00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:35.139
 for God.

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:36.440
 All have turned aside.

00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:37.460
 Together they have

00:19:37.460 --> 00:19:38.700
 become worthless

00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:40.099
 without worth.

00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:42.619
 No one does good,

00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:43.720
 not even one.

00:19:44.379 --> 00:19:45.339
 He goes on to say,

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:46.259
 their throat

00:19:46.259 --> 00:19:48.579
 is an open grave.

00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:49.500
 Who's he talking about?

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:50.920
 All of mankind.

00:19:52.579 --> 00:19:53.500
 All of mankind.

00:19:53.639 --> 00:19:54.200
 Their throat

00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:55.339
 is an open grave.

00:19:55.339 --> 00:19:56.680
 They use their tongue

00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:57.379
 to deceive.

00:19:57.380 --> 00:19:58.340
 The venom

00:19:58.340 --> 00:19:59.320
 of asps,

00:19:59.840 --> 00:20:00.300
 snakes,

00:20:00.600 --> 00:20:01.940
 is under their lips.

00:20:02.100 --> 00:20:03.060
 Their mouth

00:20:03.060 --> 00:20:04.460
 is full of curses

00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:05.500
 and bitterness.

00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:06.260
 Their feet

00:20:06.260 --> 00:20:06.960
 are swift

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:07.920
 to shed blood.

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:09.100
 In their path

00:20:09.100 --> 00:20:09.800
 are ruin

00:20:09.800 --> 00:20:10.900
 and misery.

00:20:11.320 --> 00:20:11.800
 In the way

00:20:11.800 --> 00:20:12.280
 of peace

00:20:12.280 --> 00:20:13.220
 they have not known.

00:20:13.340 --> 00:20:15.120
 There is no fear

00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:15.960
 of God

00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:17.880
 before their eyes.

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:20.060
 And we turn back

00:20:20.060 --> 00:20:20.920
 to this psalm

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:22.480
 and how similar

00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:23.780
 does this sound

00:20:23.780 --> 00:20:26.000
 when David says

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.840
 they do not

00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:28.199
 regard the work

00:20:28.199 --> 00:20:28.879
 of the Lord

00:20:28.879 --> 00:20:30.720
 or the work

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:31.399
 of his hands.

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:32.279
 They don't even

00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:32.939
 regard it.

00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:36.519
 You know,

00:20:37.159 --> 00:20:39.839
 unless God

00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:40.959
 does a work

00:20:40.959 --> 00:20:41.639
 in the heart

00:20:41.639 --> 00:20:42.599
 of a person,

00:20:42.679 --> 00:20:43.539
 a man or a woman,

00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:44.819
 he will be

00:20:44.819 --> 00:20:45.740
 in this camp

00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:46.159
 of the wicked.

00:20:46.259 --> 00:20:46.699
 You know there's

00:20:46.699 --> 00:20:47.439
 only two camps?

00:20:48.579 --> 00:20:49.639
 David is talking

00:20:49.639 --> 00:20:50.659
 about the only

00:20:50.659 --> 00:20:52.079
 two camps

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:52.779
 there are.

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:54.160
 those who are wicked

00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:55.220
 and those

00:20:55.220 --> 00:20:56.940
 who are his.

00:20:58.700 --> 00:21:00.000
 And how is it

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:00.660
 that a person

00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:01.960
 goes from being wicked

00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:03.779
 to being

00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:04.740
 not wicked?

00:21:05.099 --> 00:21:06.279
 From being wicked

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.019
 and separated

00:21:08.019 --> 00:21:08.579
 from God

00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:09.259
 with an eternal

00:21:09.259 --> 00:21:10.019
 destination,

00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:11.680
 eternally separated

00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:12.119
 from God

00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:12.879
 to the point

00:21:12.879 --> 00:21:13.819
 where they're

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:14.720
 changed men.

00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:16.079
 How?

00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:17.480
 Well,

00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:17.819
 David

00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:19.440
 shows that.

00:21:19.639 --> 00:21:20.139
 This morning

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:20.820
 in this psalm,

00:21:20.900 --> 00:21:21.620
 you'll see

00:21:21.620 --> 00:21:22.900
 that David

00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:24.460
 is an individual

00:21:24.460 --> 00:21:26.000
 that's included

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:27.840
 in this grouping

00:21:27.840 --> 00:21:28.460
 of people

00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:29.700
 called God's people,

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:31.200
 God's children.

00:21:32.900 --> 00:21:33.580
 And David

00:21:33.580 --> 00:21:34.820
 represents

00:21:34.820 --> 00:21:36.900
 the group

00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:38.020
 of God's people.

00:21:38.020 --> 00:21:38.940
 He's an example.

00:21:39.100 --> 00:21:40.140
 He's one of

00:21:40.140 --> 00:21:41.180
 those who

00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:42.520
 has been changed.

00:21:42.580 --> 00:21:43.220
 And in what way

00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:44.060
 was he changed?

00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:45.580
 It's his heart.

00:21:46.620 --> 00:21:47.620
 His heart

00:21:47.620 --> 00:21:48.860
 has been changed.

00:21:48.859 --> 00:21:51.039
 So,

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:52.000
 I hope you

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.159
 heard the point

00:21:53.159 --> 00:21:53.799
 that I was trying

00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:54.159
 to make

00:21:54.159 --> 00:21:54.639
 that you know

00:21:54.639 --> 00:21:55.719
 of those four choices,

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:56.599
 you know where we land,

00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:57.479
 there's none good,

00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:57.959
 not one.

00:21:58.779 --> 00:21:59.659
 We have no good

00:21:59.659 --> 00:21:59.939
 in us,

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:00.419
 not any.

00:22:01.859 --> 00:22:02.819
 There's not partly

00:22:02.819 --> 00:22:03.699
 good and some bad,

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.559
 it's all bad.

00:22:04.679 --> 00:22:06.039
 There's no righteousness

00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:06.619
 in us.

00:22:06.859 --> 00:22:07.719
 How is a man

00:22:07.719 --> 00:22:09.899
 who has no righteousness,

00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:11.219
 who's an enemy

00:22:11.219 --> 00:22:11.899
 of God,

00:22:12.139 --> 00:22:13.819
 who is born wicked,

00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:15.019
 how is it

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.539
 that he's going

00:22:15.539 --> 00:22:16.419
 to be included

00:22:16.419 --> 00:22:17.699
 in this grouping

00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:18.200
 of people

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:19.180
 called God's people?

00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:19.680
 Well,

00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:20.100
 it's the work

00:22:20.100 --> 00:22:20.539
 of God,

00:22:20.600 --> 00:22:20.819
 right?

00:22:21.819 --> 00:22:22.660
 It's the work

00:22:22.660 --> 00:22:23.140
 of God

00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:23.840
 on the heart

00:22:23.840 --> 00:22:24.360
 of a man.

00:22:25.940 --> 00:22:27.240
 It's heart change.

00:22:28.620 --> 00:22:28.900
 And so,

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:29.860
 I ask you the question,

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:30.600
 how is it

00:22:30.600 --> 00:22:31.279
 that a heart

00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:32.160
 is changed?

00:22:33.779 --> 00:22:34.100
 Well,

00:22:34.140 --> 00:22:34.480
 obviously,

00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:34.920
 we'd say

00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:35.480
 it's the power

00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:36.019
 of God.

00:22:37.019 --> 00:22:37.640
 Why some

00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:38.779
 and why not others?

00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:42.759
 Let me

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:44.600
 flip over,

00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:45.799
 you don't have

00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:46.180
 to flip,

00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:46.519
 but I'm going

00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:46.720
 to read

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:47.099
 a couple

00:22:47.099 --> 00:22:47.539
 of verses

00:22:47.539 --> 00:22:48.220
 out of the

00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:49.039
 book of John.

00:22:49.159 --> 00:22:49.240
 So,

00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:50.379
 Apostle John

00:22:50.379 --> 00:22:52.119
 is sharing

00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:53.519
 about this

00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:54.200
 truth.

00:22:54.899 --> 00:22:55.500
 How is it

00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:56.099
 that a man

00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:56.659
 goes from

00:22:56.659 --> 00:22:57.619
 the grouping

00:22:57.619 --> 00:22:58.460
 of the wicked

00:22:58.460 --> 00:22:59.399
 and he's

00:22:59.399 --> 00:22:59.899
 transferred

00:22:59.899 --> 00:23:01.200
 into the group

00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:01.659
 that is the

00:23:01.659 --> 00:23:02.319
 people of God?

00:23:02.399 --> 00:23:02.639
 How?

00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:03.819
 Here's what

00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:04.480
 John says.

00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:05.879
 He says,

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:06.460
 you know

00:23:06.460 --> 00:23:07.299
 that no one

00:23:07.299 --> 00:23:08.279
 can come to me,

00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:08.899
 this is Jesus

00:23:08.899 --> 00:23:09.319
 speaking,

00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:10.399
 no one can

00:23:10.399 --> 00:23:10.940
 come to me

00:23:10.940 --> 00:23:11.480
 unless the

00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:12.379
 Father who sent

00:23:12.379 --> 00:23:14.079
 me draws him.

00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:14.599
 Let me say it

00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:14.759
 again,

00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:15.220
 I messed that

00:23:15.220 --> 00:23:15.420
 up.

00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:16.400
 No one

00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:16.900
 can come

00:23:16.900 --> 00:23:17.480
 to me,

00:23:17.859 --> 00:23:18.180
 Jesus,

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:19.279
 unless the

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:20.220
 Father God

00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:20.900
 who sent

00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:21.720
 me draws him.

00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:23.960
 No one

00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:24.519
 can come

00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:25.079
 unless the

00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:26.000
 Father draws

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:26.299
 him.

00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:27.619
 Again,

00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:28.019
 in verse

00:23:28.019 --> 00:23:28.480
 65,

00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:29.119
 it says this,

00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:29.740
 and he

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:30.400
 said,

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:32.000
 this is why

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:32.720
 I told you

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:33.519
 that no one

00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:34.099
 can come to

00:23:34.099 --> 00:23:34.579
 me unless

00:23:34.579 --> 00:23:35.220
 it is granted

00:23:35.220 --> 00:23:35.779
 him by the

00:23:35.779 --> 00:23:36.079
 Father.

00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:38.519
 You know,

00:23:38.619 --> 00:23:39.279
 we read

00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:41.039
 that salvation

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.960
 is not

00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:43.240
 the result

00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:44.000
 of our works.

00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:44.640
 You know,

00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:45.079
 we read it

00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:45.519
 in Ephesians

00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:46.099
 2 earlier.

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.460
 Did you hear

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:47.640
 it?

00:23:48.339 --> 00:23:49.259
 It's by grace

00:23:49.259 --> 00:23:50.099
 you're saved,

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:51.940
 by faith,

00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:53.940
 not according

00:23:53.940 --> 00:23:54.740
 to your works.

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:55.759
 It's not as

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.440
 if you can

00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:56.980
 do all

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:57.500
 these good

00:23:57.500 --> 00:23:58.079
 things and

00:23:58.079 --> 00:23:59.119
 earn your

00:23:59.119 --> 00:23:59.640
 way into

00:23:59.640 --> 00:23:59.940
 heaven.

00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:00.839
 Do you know

00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:01.200
 that's not

00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:01.619
 possible?

00:24:02.059 --> 00:24:02.740
 Because the

00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:03.440
 standard is

00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:04.160
 perfection.

00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:05.859
 That would

00:24:05.859 --> 00:24:06.380
 mean you

00:24:06.380 --> 00:24:07.319
 never sinned

00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:08.039
 ever even

00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:08.539
 once in

00:24:08.539 --> 00:24:08.880
 your life.

00:24:08.940 --> 00:24:09.240
 How many

00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:09.900
 times did

00:24:09.900 --> 00:24:10.599
 Adam have

00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:11.039
 to sin

00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:13.240
 before he

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:13.480
 had to

00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:13.799
 exit the

00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:14.000
 garden?

00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:15.500
 Do you

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:16.019
 realize the

00:24:16.019 --> 00:24:16.559
 holiness of

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:17.460
 God demands

00:24:17.460 --> 00:24:18.039
 perfection?

00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:19.680
 And he

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:19.920
 would have

00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.180
 had to

00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:20.319
 have been

00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:20.680
 absolutely

00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:21.119
 perfect.

00:24:21.339 --> 00:24:22.639
 He took

00:24:22.639 --> 00:24:23.619
 from the

00:24:23.619 --> 00:24:24.940
 fruit of

00:24:24.940 --> 00:24:25.599
 the tree

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.220
 that he

00:24:26.220 --> 00:24:26.619
 was not

00:24:26.619 --> 00:24:27.099
 supposed to

00:24:27.099 --> 00:24:28.079
 touch and

00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:28.500
 then what

00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:28.779
 do you have

00:24:28.779 --> 00:24:29.119
 to do?

00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:29.680
 You've got to

00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:29.819
 leave.

00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:31.240
 You've got to

00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:31.399
 leave.

00:24:31.460 --> 00:24:31.779
 And they put

00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:32.500
 an angel

00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:33.159
 with a flame

00:24:33.159 --> 00:24:33.539
 and sword

00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:34.180
 at the gate

00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:34.700
 of the garden

00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:34.920
 and said,

00:24:34.980 --> 00:24:35.240
 don't you

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:35.700
 come back.

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:37.680
 If you

00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:38.279
 come back

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:38.920
 you'll die.

00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:41.120
 Because your

00:24:41.120 --> 00:24:41.819
 sin can't be

00:24:41.819 --> 00:24:42.319
 in the presence

00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:42.759
 of a holy

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:43.120
 God.

00:24:44.140 --> 00:24:44.680
 And here

00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:45.100
 it is

00:24:45.100 --> 00:24:45.860
 that's not

00:24:45.860 --> 00:24:46.620
 based on

00:24:46.620 --> 00:24:47.120
 our works

00:24:47.120 --> 00:24:47.400
 and what

00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:47.700
 we do

00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:48.299
 is based

00:24:48.299 --> 00:24:48.759
 on the

00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:49.319
 drawing

00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:50.000
 of God.

00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:52.279
 Even when

00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:52.559
 we were

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:52.880
 dead and

00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:53.000
 our

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:54.380
 trespasses

00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:54.620
 isn't

00:24:54.620 --> 00:24:55.400
 God,

00:24:55.660 --> 00:24:56.259
 but God,

00:24:56.360 --> 00:24:57.460
 God gave

00:24:57.460 --> 00:24:57.980
 us life.

00:24:58.120 --> 00:24:58.600
 Life

00:24:58.600 --> 00:24:59.660
 comes from

00:24:59.660 --> 00:24:59.900
 God.

00:25:00.059 --> 00:25:00.980
 This eternal

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:01.279
 life,

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:02.720
 a changed

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:03.420
 spirit,

00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:04.259
 a changed

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:04.960
 heart.

00:25:05.080 --> 00:25:05.360
 How does

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:05.899
 it happen?

00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:06.699
 It's the

00:25:06.699 --> 00:25:07.119
 work of

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:07.379
 God.

00:25:07.479 --> 00:25:07.799
 It's the

00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:08.299
 work of

00:25:08.299 --> 00:25:08.759
 the Holy

00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:09.839
 Spirit that

00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:11.079
 draws us

00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:11.639
 to God,

00:25:11.740 --> 00:25:12.579
 that makes

00:25:12.579 --> 00:25:13.139
 us aware

00:25:13.139 --> 00:25:13.459
 of his

00:25:13.459 --> 00:25:13.839
 holiness,

00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:14.799
 that makes

00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:15.359
 us aware

00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:15.740
 of our

00:25:15.740 --> 00:25:16.099
 sin,

00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:17.899
 and causes

00:25:17.899 --> 00:25:18.500
 us,

00:25:18.979 --> 00:25:19.379
 gives us

00:25:19.379 --> 00:25:20.219
 the motivation

00:25:20.219 --> 00:25:21.179
 to do what

00:25:21.179 --> 00:25:22.000
 David says

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:22.619
 right here.

00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:23.000
 Look,

00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:23.679
 do you see

00:25:23.679 --> 00:25:24.879
 what David

00:25:24.879 --> 00:25:25.279
 did?

00:25:26.179 --> 00:25:26.759
 To you,

00:25:26.919 --> 00:25:27.479
 O Lord,

00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:28.659
 I call.

00:25:29.579 --> 00:25:29.879
 And in

00:25:29.879 --> 00:25:30.399
 verse 2,

00:25:30.619 --> 00:25:31.759
 I cry to

00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:32.139
 you for

00:25:32.139 --> 00:25:32.479
 help.

00:25:34.059 --> 00:25:34.379
 Do you

00:25:34.379 --> 00:25:34.939
 see the

00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:35.380
 difference

00:25:35.380 --> 00:25:35.980
 between the

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:36.420
 wicked who

00:25:36.420 --> 00:25:36.980
 don't even

00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:37.840
 regard God

00:25:37.840 --> 00:25:38.120
 or the

00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:38.460
 works of

00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:38.960
 his hands?

00:25:39.820 --> 00:25:40.440
 And here's

00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:41.019
 David saying,

00:25:41.120 --> 00:25:41.360
 God,

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:42.580
 I see you,

00:25:42.620 --> 00:25:43.299
 I know you,

00:25:43.340 --> 00:25:44.059
 and I desire

00:25:44.059 --> 00:25:44.299
 you,

00:25:44.340 --> 00:25:45.039
 and I call

00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:45.400
 to you,

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:45.660
 God,

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:46.480
 my rock.

00:25:46.580 --> 00:25:47.299
 It's because

00:25:47.299 --> 00:25:48.360
 of you that

00:25:48.360 --> 00:25:48.940
 I have any

00:25:48.940 --> 00:25:49.220
 hope.

00:25:49.320 --> 00:25:49.740
 It's because

00:25:49.740 --> 00:25:50.299
 of you that

00:25:50.299 --> 00:25:50.820
 I have any

00:25:50.820 --> 00:25:51.160
 joy.

00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:52.400
 It's because

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.080
 of you that

00:25:54.080 --> 00:25:54.779
 my life has

00:25:54.779 --> 00:25:55.559
 been changed.

00:25:56.080 --> 00:25:56.920
 There is a

00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:58.100
 desire that's

00:25:58.100 --> 00:25:58.980
 spilling out of

00:25:58.980 --> 00:25:59.740
 the heart of

00:25:59.740 --> 00:26:00.480
 David here.

00:26:00.820 --> 00:26:01.779
 He calls to

00:26:01.779 --> 00:26:02.200
 the Lord,

00:26:02.580 --> 00:26:03.600
 be not deaf to

00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:03.759
 me,

00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:03.959
 God,

00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:04.980
 I desire

00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:05.379
 to hear

00:26:05.379 --> 00:26:05.919
 from you.

00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:06.779
 Do you

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:07.219
 know that

00:26:07.219 --> 00:26:07.699
 the wicked

00:26:07.699 --> 00:26:08.419
 don't desire

00:26:08.419 --> 00:26:08.699
 to hear

00:26:08.699 --> 00:26:09.099
 from him?

00:26:11.439 --> 00:26:12.240
 No interest.

00:26:13.399 --> 00:26:14.039
 No interest.

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:16.119
 Does God,

00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:17.000
 is God able

00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:17.759
 to hear from

00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:18.099
 the wicked?

00:26:19.679 --> 00:26:20.459
 Let me just

00:26:20.459 --> 00:26:21.059
 say this,

00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:22.359
 if there's a

00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:23.159
 person on

00:26:23.159 --> 00:26:23.779
 the planet

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:24.539
 that's in the

00:26:24.539 --> 00:26:25.219
 camp of the

00:26:25.219 --> 00:26:25.740
 wicked that

00:26:25.740 --> 00:26:26.019
 says,

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:26.419
 God,

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:27.240
 I see my

00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:27.539
 sin,

00:26:27.939 --> 00:26:29.419
 I'm sick

00:26:29.419 --> 00:26:29.879
 over my

00:26:29.879 --> 00:26:30.159
 sin,

00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:30.839
 God,

00:26:30.879 --> 00:26:31.139
 would you

00:26:31.139 --> 00:26:31.500
 help me?

00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:31.899
 Do you think

00:26:31.900 --> 00:26:32.300
 God hears

00:26:32.300 --> 00:26:32.519
 that?

00:26:33.780 --> 00:26:34.140
 Listen,

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:34.460
 you know

00:26:34.460 --> 00:26:34.640
 what,

00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:36.700
 how do you

00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:37.360
 explain that?

00:26:37.580 --> 00:26:38.100
 That's a

00:26:38.100 --> 00:26:38.720
 heart that

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:40.960
 is humbled,

00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:42.440
 that's a

00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:42.920
 heart that

00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:43.440
 is reaching

00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:43.960
 out to

00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:44.400
 God,

00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:45.000
 that's a

00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:45.380
 heart that

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:46.440
 is genuine

00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:46.860
 and says,

00:26:46.940 --> 00:26:47.080
 God,

00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:47.540
 help me.

00:26:47.800 --> 00:26:48.300
 It's not

00:26:48.300 --> 00:26:49.120
 some insurance

00:26:49.120 --> 00:26:50.000
 policy prayer.

00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:51.880
 All right,

00:26:51.900 --> 00:26:52.560
 just in case,

00:26:52.660 --> 00:26:52.960
 I want to

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:53.600
 make sure I

00:26:53.600 --> 00:26:53.980
 make it to

00:26:53.980 --> 00:26:54.259
 heaven,

00:26:54.580 --> 00:26:55.080
 what do I

00:26:55.080 --> 00:26:55.320
 need to

00:26:55.320 --> 00:26:55.519
 say?

00:26:56.180 --> 00:26:56.480
 Oh,

00:26:56.540 --> 00:26:56.660
 yeah,

00:26:56.740 --> 00:26:56.860
 okay,

00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:57.780
 can you help

00:26:57.780 --> 00:26:57.940
 me?

00:26:58.060 --> 00:26:59.280
 What words

00:26:59.280 --> 00:26:59.660
 do I need

00:26:59.660 --> 00:27:00.019
 to use?

00:27:00.819 --> 00:27:01.579
 It's like a

00:27:01.579 --> 00:27:02.039
 formula.

00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:04.079
 It's like an

00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:04.740
 insurance policy.

00:27:04.819 --> 00:27:04.940
 Well,

00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:05.319
 I've done

00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:05.519
 that.

00:27:05.579 --> 00:27:05.720
 All right,

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:06.119
 I went to

00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:06.579
 church 12

00:27:06.579 --> 00:27:06.980
 times.

00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:07.420
 Man,

00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:07.779
 I've got to

00:27:07.779 --> 00:27:08.119
 be good

00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:08.319
 now.

00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:08.759
 I'm good.

00:27:08.900 --> 00:27:09.059
 You know,

00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:10.259
 that is not

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:10.960
 a heart that's

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:11.460
 reaching out to

00:27:11.460 --> 00:27:11.720
 God and

00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:11.839
 saying,

00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:12.200
 help me,

00:27:12.259 --> 00:27:12.460
 God.

00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:13.740
 But look at

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:14.019
 David.

00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:14.740
 He's calling

00:27:14.740 --> 00:27:15.240
 out to God.

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:15.879
 He's crying

00:27:15.879 --> 00:27:16.559
 out to God.

00:27:17.139 --> 00:27:17.920
 He's lifting

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:18.599
 up his hands

00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:19.460
 in verse 3

00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:20.319
 toward the

00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:20.720
 most holy

00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:21.200
 sanctuary.

00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:26.039
 So we've

00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:26.720
 looked at the

00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:27.380
 three aspects

00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:28.039
 of those who

00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:28.460
 are wicked,

00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:29.620
 their destination,

00:27:29.819 --> 00:27:30.259
 their deeds,

00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:30.539
 and their

00:27:30.539 --> 00:27:30.860
 heart.

00:27:31.600 --> 00:27:32.160
 And now

00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:32.880
 what we see

00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:33.580
 in the life

00:27:33.580 --> 00:27:34.180
 of God's

00:27:34.180 --> 00:27:35.180
 children is

00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:35.779
 a heart

00:27:35.779 --> 00:27:36.140
 that has

00:27:36.140 --> 00:27:37.059
 been changed.

00:27:39.140 --> 00:27:39.980
 A heart

00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:40.700
 that is

00:27:40.700 --> 00:27:43.279
 soft to

00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:43.500
 God,

00:27:43.580 --> 00:27:44.019
 a heart

00:27:44.019 --> 00:27:45.100
 that desires

00:27:45.100 --> 00:27:45.500
 God,

00:27:45.740 --> 00:27:46.180
 a heart

00:27:46.180 --> 00:27:47.080
 that calls

00:27:47.080 --> 00:27:47.519
 out to

00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:47.779
 God,

00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:48.500
 a heart

00:27:48.500 --> 00:27:49.279
 that cries

00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:49.700
 to God

00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:50.140
 for help,

00:27:50.360 --> 00:27:50.900
 a heart

00:27:50.900 --> 00:27:51.779
 that yields

00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:52.180
 to the

00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:52.460
 holiness

00:27:52.460 --> 00:27:53.080
 of God,

00:27:53.620 --> 00:27:54.360
 who lifts

00:27:54.360 --> 00:27:54.740
 up his

00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:55.080
 hands and

00:27:55.080 --> 00:27:55.140
 said,

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:55.620
 praise you,

00:27:55.700 --> 00:27:55.840
 Lord,

00:27:55.940 --> 00:27:56.440
 praise you,

00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:56.680
 Lord.

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:57.660
 I've come

00:27:57.660 --> 00:27:58.200
 to see

00:27:58.200 --> 00:27:58.680
 how great

00:27:58.680 --> 00:27:59.160
 you are.

00:27:59.600 --> 00:27:59.860
 Let me

00:27:59.860 --> 00:28:00.319
 ask you,

00:28:00.840 --> 00:28:02.640
 what is

00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:03.059
 your heart

00:28:03.059 --> 00:28:03.400
 like?

00:28:06.980 --> 00:28:07.580
 It's my

00:28:07.580 --> 00:28:08.039
 hope that

00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:08.759
 everyone sitting

00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:09.440
 in here is a

00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:09.819
 born-again

00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:10.160
 believer,

00:28:10.299 --> 00:28:10.600
 that you're

00:28:10.600 --> 00:28:10.940
 saved,

00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:11.340
 that you

00:28:11.340 --> 00:28:12.120
 know him,

00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:12.440
 and that your

00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:12.840
 heart has

00:28:12.840 --> 00:28:13.700
 been changed

00:28:13.700 --> 00:28:14.480
 from a

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:14.819
 heart of

00:28:14.819 --> 00:28:15.279
 stone to

00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:15.519
 a heart

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:16.080
 of flesh,

00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:18.100
 from a

00:28:18.100 --> 00:28:18.600
 hard heart

00:28:18.600 --> 00:28:19.160
 to a tender

00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:19.519
 heart.

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:21.059
 From a

00:28:21.059 --> 00:28:21.660
 heart that

00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:22.779
 does not

00:28:22.779 --> 00:28:23.460
 regard God

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:23.840
 in any

00:28:23.840 --> 00:28:24.480
 way to a

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:24.920
 heart that

00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:25.259
 says,

00:28:25.779 --> 00:28:26.180
 I long

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:26.680
 for you.

00:28:27.860 --> 00:28:28.580
 For those

00:28:28.580 --> 00:28:29.039
 of us who

00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:29.299
 have come

00:28:29.299 --> 00:28:29.580
 into the

00:28:29.580 --> 00:28:29.799
 kingdom,

00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:30.360
 do y'all

00:28:30.360 --> 00:28:31.100
 know the

00:28:31.100 --> 00:28:31.480
 change?

00:28:31.580 --> 00:28:31.960
 Have y'all

00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:32.620
 come to

00:28:32.620 --> 00:28:33.420
 recognize how

00:28:33.420 --> 00:28:34.039
 different we

00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:34.240
 are?

00:28:35.620 --> 00:28:36.340
 When God

00:28:36.340 --> 00:28:36.900
 gives us a

00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:37.299
 new heart

00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:37.799
 and changes

00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:38.039
 us,

00:28:38.220 --> 00:28:39.059
 it is like,

00:28:39.840 --> 00:28:40.440
 it doesn't

00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:40.940
 happen,

00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:41.480
 the night and

00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:42.080
 day difference

00:28:42.080 --> 00:28:42.600
 doesn't happen,

00:28:42.660 --> 00:28:42.980
 it kind of

00:28:42.980 --> 00:28:43.559
 grows over

00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:43.940
 time.

00:28:44.819 --> 00:28:45.420
 But the

00:28:45.420 --> 00:28:45.980
 things that we

00:28:45.980 --> 00:28:46.660
 used to love

00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:47.100
 and long

00:28:47.100 --> 00:28:47.860
 for and do

00:28:47.859 --> 00:28:48.879
 are so

00:28:48.879 --> 00:28:50.179
 different now

00:28:50.179 --> 00:28:50.919
 that we're in

00:28:50.919 --> 00:28:51.339
 the kingdom,

00:28:51.459 --> 00:28:52.039
 the things that

00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:52.599
 we long for

00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:53.079
 and desire

00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:54.079
 are different.

00:28:54.219 --> 00:28:54.799
 And when we

00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:55.379
 choose what

00:28:55.379 --> 00:28:55.979
 we used to

00:28:55.979 --> 00:28:56.299
 like,

00:28:56.619 --> 00:28:57.059
 there's a

00:28:57.059 --> 00:28:57.599
 conviction,

00:28:57.819 --> 00:28:58.259
 there's a

00:28:58.259 --> 00:28:58.599
 sickness,

00:28:58.799 --> 00:28:59.199
 there's a

00:28:59.199 --> 00:29:00.679
 grief in

00:29:00.679 --> 00:29:01.240
 our heart.

00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:02.659
 We're different

00:29:02.659 --> 00:29:03.079
 people,

00:29:03.159 --> 00:29:03.500
 we've been

00:29:03.500 --> 00:29:04.219
 born again.

00:29:05.219 --> 00:29:05.639
 And so I'm

00:29:05.639 --> 00:29:06.459
 asking if

00:29:06.459 --> 00:29:07.119
 there's someone

00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:08.379
 here who is

00:29:08.379 --> 00:29:10.019
 still investigating

00:29:10.019 --> 00:29:10.699
 Christianity,

00:29:11.059 --> 00:29:11.599
 that still

00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:12.619
 doesn't really

00:29:12.619 --> 00:29:13.240
 know what it

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:13.740
 means to be

00:29:13.740 --> 00:29:14.179
 saved.

00:29:14.180 --> 00:29:14.299
 God,

00:29:15.100 --> 00:29:16.519
 listen,

00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:17.340
 the difference

00:29:17.340 --> 00:29:17.920
 is this,

00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:18.519
 it's a heart

00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:18.860
 that says,

00:29:18.940 --> 00:29:19.120
 God,

00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:19.880
 help me.

00:29:20.660 --> 00:29:21.100
 God,

00:29:21.259 --> 00:29:22.640
 I want

00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:23.500
 you,

00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:24.460
 I need

00:29:24.460 --> 00:29:24.759
 you.

00:29:25.539 --> 00:29:25.840
 You know,

00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:26.640
 God always

00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:27.120
 hears that,

00:29:27.259 --> 00:29:28.080
 he always,

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:28.900
 always,

00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:29.860
 always hears

00:29:29.860 --> 00:29:30.460
 a genuine

00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:31.000
 heart that

00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:31.660
 reaches up.

00:29:32.100 --> 00:29:32.360
 And you

00:29:32.360 --> 00:29:32.620
 know what,

00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:33.160
 it doesn't

00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:33.960
 take magic

00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:34.620
 words,

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:35.220
 it doesn't

00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:36.120
 take correct

00:29:36.120 --> 00:29:36.940
 phrases,

00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:37.660
 it doesn't

00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:38.539
 take a lot

00:29:38.539 --> 00:29:39.180
 of talking,

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:39.460
 you know

00:29:39.460 --> 00:29:39.680
 what it

00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:39.980
 takes?

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:40.620
 A heart

00:29:40.620 --> 00:29:40.960
 that says,

00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:41.340
 I need

00:29:41.340 --> 00:29:41.539
 you.

00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:43.200
 God,

00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:43.600
 I want

00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:43.820
 you.

00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:44.900
 Would you

00:29:44.900 --> 00:29:45.480
 change my

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:45.860
 life?

00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:48.900
 Would you

00:29:48.900 --> 00:29:49.259
 call,

00:29:49.360 --> 00:29:50.320
 if you're

00:29:50.320 --> 00:29:52.440
 not sure,

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:54.259
 or if you

00:29:54.259 --> 00:29:55.019
 maybe are

00:29:55.019 --> 00:29:55.580
 sure that

00:29:55.580 --> 00:29:55.900
 you're not

00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:56.140
 in the

00:29:56.140 --> 00:29:56.360
 kingdom,

00:29:56.500 --> 00:29:56.920
 that you're

00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:57.340
 just kind

00:29:57.340 --> 00:29:57.900
 of on the

00:29:57.900 --> 00:29:59.220
 edges of

00:29:59.220 --> 00:29:59.539
 this thing

00:29:59.539 --> 00:29:59.900
 trying to

00:29:59.900 --> 00:30:00.220
 figure out

00:30:00.220 --> 00:30:00.480
 what in

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:00.720
 the world

00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:01.060
 is really

00:30:01.060 --> 00:30:01.660
 true here,

00:30:03.660 --> 00:30:04.620
 do you

00:30:04.620 --> 00:30:04.940
 have a

00:30:04.940 --> 00:30:05.440
 desire to

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:05.860
 call out

00:30:05.860 --> 00:30:06.100
 to him

00:30:06.100 --> 00:30:06.400
 and cry

00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:06.680
 out to

00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:06.799
 him?

00:30:06.840 --> 00:30:07.200
 I hope

00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:07.560
 you do.

00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:08.720
 And I'm

00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.160
 telling you,

00:30:09.180 --> 00:30:09.560
 if you

00:30:09.560 --> 00:30:09.779
 do,

00:30:09.860 --> 00:30:10.299
 he will

00:30:10.299 --> 00:30:10.860
 hear you.

00:30:10.859 --> 00:30:14.240
 And if

00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:14.539
 you're

00:30:14.539 --> 00:30:15.219
 genuinely

00:30:15.219 --> 00:30:15.939
 sick over

00:30:15.939 --> 00:30:16.339
 your own

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:16.719
 sin and

00:30:16.719 --> 00:30:17.539
 you recognize

00:30:17.539 --> 00:30:18.079
 that you

00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:18.779
 were rebellious

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:19.279
 towards him,

00:30:19.679 --> 00:30:20.159
 you know

00:30:20.159 --> 00:30:20.459
 that if

00:30:20.459 --> 00:30:20.759
 you'll say,

00:30:20.819 --> 00:30:21.000
 God,

00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:21.619
 forgive me,

00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:22.139
 you know

00:30:22.139 --> 00:30:22.439
 what the

00:30:22.439 --> 00:30:22.699
 word of

00:30:22.699 --> 00:30:23.219
 God declares?

00:30:23.719 --> 00:30:24.079
 From

00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:24.740
 someone who

00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:25.319
 from the

00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:26.039
 heart says,

00:30:26.259 --> 00:30:26.859
 forgive me,

00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:27.719
 he says,

00:30:27.779 --> 00:30:28.199
 as far as

00:30:28.199 --> 00:30:28.459
 the east

00:30:28.459 --> 00:30:28.799
 is from

00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:29.159
 the west,

00:30:29.219 --> 00:30:29.639
 I'll remove

00:30:29.639 --> 00:30:30.019
 your sin

00:30:30.019 --> 00:30:30.500
 from you.

00:30:31.299 --> 00:30:31.919
 Based on

00:30:31.919 --> 00:30:32.379
 the work

00:30:32.379 --> 00:30:32.959
 of Jesus

00:30:32.959 --> 00:30:33.479
 Christ on

00:30:33.479 --> 00:30:33.839
 the cross.

00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.000
 David is

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:37.379
 a man

00:30:37.379 --> 00:30:37.839
 whose heart

00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:38.139
 has been

00:30:38.139 --> 00:30:38.559
 changed.

00:30:38.639 --> 00:30:38.939
 And do

00:30:38.939 --> 00:30:39.659
 you see

00:30:39.659 --> 00:30:40.679
 how it

00:30:40.679 --> 00:30:41.139
 changes

00:30:41.139 --> 00:30:41.819
 his deeds?

00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:43.720
 Again,

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:44.240
 these three

00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:44.779
 aspects,

00:30:44.919 --> 00:30:45.500
 the destination,

00:30:45.939 --> 00:30:46.480
 the deeds,

00:30:46.659 --> 00:30:47.059
 and the

00:30:47.059 --> 00:30:47.319
 heart.

00:30:47.679 --> 00:30:48.059
 The heart

00:30:48.059 --> 00:30:48.480
 of David

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:48.819
 has been

00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:49.199
 changed.

00:30:49.299 --> 00:30:49.539
 You know,

00:30:49.579 --> 00:30:50.019
 it's fun

00:30:50.019 --> 00:30:50.319
 when we

00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:50.699
 read the

00:30:50.699 --> 00:30:51.039
 scriptures

00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:53.019
 and we

00:30:53.019 --> 00:30:53.779
 ponder

00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:54.579
 the life

00:30:54.579 --> 00:30:55.139
 of David

00:30:55.139 --> 00:30:56.859
 who we've

00:30:56.859 --> 00:30:57.359
 talked about

00:30:57.359 --> 00:30:57.779
 a lot.

00:30:59.119 --> 00:30:59.579
 We'll

00:30:59.579 --> 00:31:00.079
 talk about

00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:00.459
 more.

00:31:01.959 --> 00:31:03.059
 But David

00:31:03.059 --> 00:31:03.740
 is a

00:31:03.740 --> 00:31:04.179
 shepherd

00:31:04.179 --> 00:31:04.899
 who has

00:31:04.899 --> 00:31:05.559
 an instrument

00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:06.099
 in his

00:31:06.099 --> 00:31:06.460
 hands.

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:06.740
 He's

00:31:06.740 --> 00:31:07.339
 worshiping

00:31:07.339 --> 00:31:07.659
 God

00:31:07.659 --> 00:31:08.099
 with no

00:31:08.099 --> 00:31:08.240
 one

00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:08.579
 around.

00:31:12.139 --> 00:31:12.799
 You know,

00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:13.079
 there's

00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:13.379
 something

00:31:13.379 --> 00:31:14.079
 important

00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:14.919
 to see

00:31:14.919 --> 00:31:15.359
 here,

00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:16.440
 is that

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:17.019
 those whose

00:31:17.019 --> 00:31:17.359
 hearts

00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:18.119
 have changed

00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:18.679
 desire to

00:31:18.679 --> 00:31:18.980
 worship,

00:31:21.099 --> 00:31:21.919
 and the

00:31:21.919 --> 00:31:22.259
 heart of

00:31:22.259 --> 00:31:22.759
 David was

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:23.279
 changed.

00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:24.480
 I don't

00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:25.000
 know when.

00:31:25.159 --> 00:31:25.440
 The word

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:25.720
 of God

00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:25.919
 doesn't

00:31:25.919 --> 00:31:26.220
 declare

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:26.500
 when,

00:31:26.579 --> 00:31:26.859
 but we

00:31:26.859 --> 00:31:27.480
 see the

00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:28.200
 deeds of

00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:28.519
 David.

00:31:28.639 --> 00:31:29.059
 We see

00:31:29.059 --> 00:31:30.059
 that with

00:31:30.059 --> 00:31:30.679
 the changed

00:31:30.679 --> 00:31:31.099
 heart,

00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:32.359
 that

00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:33.359
 there's

00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:33.819
 worship

00:31:33.819 --> 00:31:34.179
 that

00:31:34.179 --> 00:31:34.939
 happens.

00:31:35.379 --> 00:31:35.859
 Genuine,

00:31:36.579 --> 00:31:37.099
 heartfelt,

00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:38.740
 real

00:31:38.740 --> 00:31:39.839
 worship.

00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:40.599
 A

00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:41.099
 recognition

00:31:41.099 --> 00:31:41.599
 of his

00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:41.959
 holiness

00:31:41.959 --> 00:31:42.699
 and a

00:31:42.699 --> 00:31:43.139
 lifting up

00:31:43.139 --> 00:31:43.319
 hands.

00:31:43.399 --> 00:31:43.899
 Wow.

00:31:45.179 --> 00:31:45.559
 And that's

00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:46.159
 what we

00:31:46.159 --> 00:31:46.579
 talked about

00:31:46.579 --> 00:31:46.879
 earlier.

00:31:46.979 --> 00:31:47.240
 Look at

00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:47.740
 creation.

00:31:48.179 --> 00:31:48.559
 For those

00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:48.799
 who are in

00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:49.240
 the kingdom,

00:31:49.439 --> 00:31:49.839
 how can

00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:50.419
 you look

00:31:50.419 --> 00:31:50.799
 and not

00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:51.039
 say,

00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:51.519
 wow,

00:31:51.779 --> 00:31:52.279
 look at

00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:52.559
 the

00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:53.859
 incredible

00:31:53.859 --> 00:31:54.539
 beauty

00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:55.399
 of what

00:31:55.399 --> 00:31:55.799
 God has

00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:56.219
 made,

00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:57.279
 and the

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:58.139
 creativeness

00:31:58.139 --> 00:31:58.659
 of what

00:31:58.659 --> 00:31:59.319
 he's made,

00:31:59.639 --> 00:32:00.179
 and the

00:32:00.179 --> 00:32:00.979
 marvel of

00:32:00.980 --> 00:32:01.500
 all these

00:32:01.500 --> 00:32:02.120
 things that

00:32:02.120 --> 00:32:03.480
 just shout

00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:04.019
 beauty,

00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:05.319
 and shout

00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:05.799
 the beauty

00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:06.400
 of God.

00:32:06.620 --> 00:32:07.019
 And it

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:07.759
 causes us

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:08.279
 to praise

00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:08.880
 as Christians.

00:32:09.099 --> 00:32:09.259
 Do you,

00:32:09.700 --> 00:32:09.880
 I mean,

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:10.620
 how can you

00:32:10.620 --> 00:32:11.059
 go to the

00:32:11.059 --> 00:32:11.519
 mountains and

00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:11.819
 see the

00:32:11.819 --> 00:32:12.240
 beautiful

00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:12.940
 landscapes and

00:32:12.940 --> 00:32:13.240
 not go,

00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:13.720
 wow?

00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:14.940
 Or how do

00:32:14.940 --> 00:32:15.400
 you go to

00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:16.019
 the ocean and

00:32:16.019 --> 00:32:16.339
 see the

00:32:16.339 --> 00:32:17.259
 power of

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:17.759
 the ocean,

00:32:18.180 --> 00:32:18.519
 and the

00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:19.099
 beauty of

00:32:19.099 --> 00:32:19.420
 the ocean,

00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:20.200
 the vastness

00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:20.539
 of the ocean,

00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:20.940
 not say,

00:32:21.099 --> 00:32:21.460
 wow?

00:32:22.120 --> 00:32:22.579
 Or how do

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:23.279
 you take a

00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:24.019
 microscope and

00:32:24.019 --> 00:32:24.579
 look at one

00:32:24.579 --> 00:32:25.220
 drop of water

00:32:25.220 --> 00:32:25.700
 and see all

00:32:25.700 --> 00:32:26.339
 the life that's

00:32:26.339 --> 00:32:26.799
 teeming in

00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:27.039
 there and

00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:27.360
 not say,

00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:27.700
 wow?

00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:29.640
 It's a

00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:30.360
 changed heart.

00:32:30.740 --> 00:32:31.240
 But look at

00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:31.799
 his deeds.

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:32.480
 Here,

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:33.799
 David doesn't

00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:34.840
 go into deeds

00:32:34.840 --> 00:32:35.580
 all that much

00:32:35.580 --> 00:32:35.920
 in this

00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:36.299
 psalm.

00:32:37.180 --> 00:32:38.000
 But if you

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:38.480
 turn back

00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:40.759
 to Psalm

00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:41.319
 26,

00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:43.100
 he speaks a

00:32:43.100 --> 00:32:43.440
 little more

00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:44.019
 about that.

00:32:44.080 --> 00:32:44.400
 In verse

00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:45.039
 3 he says,

00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:46.600
 I walk in

00:32:46.600 --> 00:32:47.660
 your faithfulness.

00:32:47.779 --> 00:32:48.559
 I do not

00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:49.500
 sit with men

00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:50.400
 of falsehood,

00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:51.660
 nor do I

00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:52.460
 consort with

00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:53.240
 hypocrites.

00:32:53.580 --> 00:32:54.600
 I hate the

00:32:54.600 --> 00:32:55.319
 assembly of

00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:56.039
 evildoers.

00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:57.579
 I will not

00:32:57.579 --> 00:32:58.339
 sit with

00:32:58.339 --> 00:32:58.799
 the wicked.

00:32:59.819 --> 00:33:00.139
 Do you

00:33:00.139 --> 00:33:00.700
 see the

00:33:00.700 --> 00:33:01.500
 division here?

00:33:01.579 --> 00:33:01.799
 Do you

00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:02.220
 see the

00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:02.740
 difference?

00:33:03.399 --> 00:33:03.759
 David,

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:04.379
 who at

00:33:04.379 --> 00:33:04.940
 one time

00:33:04.940 --> 00:33:05.279
 in his

00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:05.599
 life,

00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:06.079
 don't know

00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:06.680
 when he

00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:07.359
 changed,

00:33:07.399 --> 00:33:07.740
 his heart

00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:08.359
 was changed,

00:33:08.579 --> 00:33:08.879
 but he

00:33:08.879 --> 00:33:09.440
 was wicked,

00:33:10.220 --> 00:33:10.720
 just like

00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:10.980
 you and

00:33:10.980 --> 00:33:11.299
 I and

00:33:11.299 --> 00:33:12.079
 every man

00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:12.559
 that's on

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.000
 the planet,

00:33:13.639 --> 00:33:14.559
 until God

00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:15.279
 does something

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:16.339
 to captivate

00:33:16.339 --> 00:33:16.659
 the heart

00:33:16.659 --> 00:33:17.099
 of David

00:33:17.099 --> 00:33:18.259
 and draw

00:33:18.259 --> 00:33:18.960
 him to

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.639
 himself.

00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:20.359
 And then

00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:20.920
 David's

00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:21.440
 heart is

00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:21.759
 changed,

00:33:21.859 --> 00:33:22.359
 where he

00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:23.220
 acknowledges

00:33:23.220 --> 00:33:23.659
 God and

00:33:23.659 --> 00:33:24.440
 cries out to

00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:24.839
 God and

00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:25.839
 calls out to

00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:26.459
 God and

00:33:26.459 --> 00:33:26.599
 says,

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:27.459
 I need

00:33:27.459 --> 00:33:28.039
 you.

00:33:30.199 --> 00:33:30.939
 And his

00:33:30.939 --> 00:33:32.019
 deeds change.

00:33:32.099 --> 00:33:32.720
 He doesn't

00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:33.220
 any longer

00:33:33.220 --> 00:33:33.720
 walk with

00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:34.059
 the wicked.

00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:34.980
 He doesn't

00:33:34.980 --> 00:33:35.500
 sit and

00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:36.059
 hang out

00:33:36.059 --> 00:33:36.439
 with that

00:33:36.439 --> 00:33:36.799
 crowd.

00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:38.459
 He doesn't

00:33:38.459 --> 00:33:38.939
 do what

00:33:38.939 --> 00:33:39.539
 they do

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:39.919
 anymore.

00:33:40.199 --> 00:33:41.359
 He doesn't

00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:41.720
 want any

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:42.639
 part of it.

00:33:45.059 --> 00:33:45.559
 Hey,

00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:46.119
 by the way,

00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:47.059
 it doesn't

00:33:47.059 --> 00:33:47.439
 mean we're

00:33:47.439 --> 00:33:48.639
 perfect as

00:33:48.639 --> 00:33:49.099
 Christians,

00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:50.019
 but it means

00:33:50.019 --> 00:33:50.279
 that our

00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:50.699
 heart is

00:33:50.699 --> 00:33:51.059
 different.

00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:52.639
 And we

00:33:52.639 --> 00:33:53.099
 do,

00:33:53.259 --> 00:33:53.720
 do you

00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:54.259
 find that

00:33:54.259 --> 00:33:54.740
 every now

00:33:54.740 --> 00:33:54.959
 and then

00:33:54.959 --> 00:33:55.399
 you choose

00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:55.700
 something

00:33:55.700 --> 00:33:55.960
 that's

00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:56.220
 sinful?

00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:58.780
 Do you

00:33:58.780 --> 00:33:59.120
 find that

00:33:59.120 --> 00:33:59.300
 you

00:33:59.300 --> 00:33:59.980
 volitionally

00:33:59.980 --> 00:34:01.120
 step over

00:34:01.120 --> 00:34:01.759
 that line

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:03.120
 when you

00:34:03.120 --> 00:34:03.600
 know you

00:34:03.600 --> 00:34:03.940
 shouldn't

00:34:03.940 --> 00:34:04.420
 because the

00:34:04.420 --> 00:34:04.800
 bells and

00:34:04.800 --> 00:34:05.220
 whistles are

00:34:05.220 --> 00:34:05.680
 going off

00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:06.000
 and God

00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:06.180
 say,

00:34:06.259 --> 00:34:06.340
 no,

00:34:06.380 --> 00:34:06.460

00:34:06.840 --> 00:34:06.900
 no,

00:34:06.900 --> 00:34:06.900

 no,

00:34:07.820 --> 00:34:07.800
 no,

00:34:07.800 --> 00:34:08.019
 no,

00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:08.019


00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:08.019


00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:08.440
 no,

00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:08.720
 no,

00:34:08.720 --> 00:34:09.019
 no,

00:34:09.019 --> 00:34:09.019


00:34:09.019 --> 00:34:09.619
 no,

00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:09.840

00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:09.940
 no,

00:34:09.940 --> 00:34:10.900
 no,

00:34:10.900 --> 00:34:10.900


00:34:10.900 --> 00:34:11.220
 no,

00:34:11.220 --> 00:34:11.740
 no,

00:34:11.740 --> 00:34:11.840
 no,

00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:11.840


00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:13.019
 no,

00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:13.059
!

00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.400


00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:27.400


00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:27.400


00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:38.139
 and lastly of these three in this category the third one is the destination what is the

00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:44.360
 destination of God's people well we've already looked at that earlier but I want you to see it

00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.380
 here at the end of this psalm here

00:34:47.380 --> 00:34:56.380
 it says this oh save your people and bless your heritage be their shepherd shepherd and carry

00:34:56.380 --> 00:35:03.480
 them forever you know what the destination for God's people are in the hands of the Messiah in

00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:10.940
 the hands of the Father that's the destination we'll be with him for eternity we will be we'll

00:35:10.940 --> 00:35:18.860
 enjoy him in his presence did you notice the change in David I skipped this kind of intentionally

00:35:18.860 --> 00:35:24.940
 the heart of David did you see the effect in verse six and seven

00:35:24.940 --> 00:35:32.500
 the effect of a man who's been forgiven the effect of a man whose heart has been changed look at it

00:35:32.500 --> 00:35:39.320
 this is David blessed be the Lord for he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy

00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:46.079
 the Lord is my strength and my shield do you think he's recognizing who he is do you think he's honoring

00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:51.319
 you think his eyes are turned to him do you think he's regarding the Lord yeah the Lord's my strength

00:35:51.319 --> 00:35:57.420
 my shield in him my heart trust I am helped my heart greatly rejoices

00:35:57.420 --> 00:36:05.179
 and with my song I give thanks to him you know what's my hope is that all of us as believers

00:36:05.179 --> 00:36:12.500
 for those of us who are believers that we would begin to worship like this when no one's around

00:36:12.500 --> 00:36:23.079
 that you know what I find is that Holy Spirit creates songs in our heart now I will say that

00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:30.260
 there's songs I love to listen to that aid me in worship but I will say this is that God does

00:36:30.260 --> 00:36:35.780
 something to create those songs in our heart that spill out of us from his Holy Spirit you know David

00:36:35.780 --> 00:36:41.100
 has many psalms to his name and you think that that how do you think that happened

00:36:41.100 --> 00:36:48.900
 I can picture him in the wilderness with that harp and he's sitting worshiping and that plays itself

00:36:48.900 --> 00:36:56.280
 out in what has become a song and certainly that didn't end when he turned 17 and it didn't end when

00:36:56.280 --> 00:37:02.780
 he turned 25 and it didn't end when he turned 46 or however long he lived I don't actually know how old

00:37:02.780 --> 00:37:07.820
 he was when he passed away but we know from the psalms that some of these psalms are written in

00:37:07.820 --> 00:37:13.260
 hardship later in life some are written in difficult times some are written when he's praising some are

00:37:13.260 --> 00:37:20.500
 event driven it wasn't something that stopped there's something that was a part of David's life

00:37:20.500 --> 00:37:24.540
 that there's songs that spill out of him there's worship that spills out of him you know where's that

00:37:24.540 --> 00:37:32.320
 come from it's a changed heart a heart that is changed will do what will not live like we used to live

00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:39.620
 a heart that is changed the man or woman that's born again we are different people we've been born

00:37:39.620 --> 00:37:48.360
 spiritually we desire different things we desire to honor and live for God our life looks different

00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:56.720
 the way we treat people is different there's a love and a gentleness and that should come out of

00:37:56.719 --> 00:38:01.939
 those who are maturing in the faith it doesn't happen on day one doesn't happen on day 10 doesn't

00:38:01.939 --> 00:38:08.059
 necessarily happen on day 100 you know what happens is the Holy Spirit is gently and gradually changing

00:38:08.059 --> 00:38:18.739
 us into the very image of Jesus that we're becoming like Christ we're becoming like Christ in this way is

00:38:18.739 --> 00:38:25.579
 that Christ didn't sin and you know what what maturity is is it's a this gradual growth of saying no to sin and

00:38:25.579 --> 00:38:28.719
 yes to God in living for him

00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:37.299
 I wonder if you notice uh verse 9 this this beautiful we'll end on this this beautiful picture

00:38:37.299 --> 00:38:46.739
 oh save your people and bless your heritage if you ever pondered what it means when he when David says

00:38:46.739 --> 00:38:52.239
 that save your heritage if you ever thought about what the heritage of God is

00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:56.319
 isn't that an interesting topic in turn

00:38:56.319 --> 00:39:06.239
 save your heritage I love the next verses be their shepherd you see the picture of Christ here

00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:09.599
 how is it

00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:18.219
 that the people are ever gonna receive this changed heart it's always always always through the Savior

00:39:18.219 --> 00:39:21.699
 it's always through the Shepherd and the Shepherd is Christ

00:39:21.699 --> 00:39:24.239
 it's always through Christ

00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:31.179
 that we are drawn to the Father through the Son based on faith

00:39:31.179 --> 00:39:39.299
 it's the work of Christ on our behalf and we become his heritage what is a heritage what is the heritage of the Lord how would we

00:39:39.299 --> 00:39:40.779
 articulate that

00:39:40.780 --> 00:39:43.580
 I would say this we're trophies of his grace

00:39:43.580 --> 00:39:46.860
 that's a phrase that I stole

00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:52.460
 I didn't generate that but I've heard it it's lingered in my ear because it speaks

00:39:52.460 --> 00:39:55.920
 to me volumes we're trophies of his grace as if

00:39:55.920 --> 00:40:01.080
 at the end of time when when all is done and Christ comes back he brings it to he

00:40:01.080 --> 00:40:04.580
 he retrieves his bride takes his bride home

00:40:04.579 --> 00:40:09.099
 no more weeping no more tears we're in the eternal kingdom we're glorified

00:40:09.099 --> 00:40:13.340
 and it's like

00:40:13.340 --> 00:40:15.779
 the Father can say to the Son look

00:40:15.779 --> 00:40:17.599

 these trophies of our grace

00:40:22.340 --> 00:40:23.880
 they had no hope apart from

00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:25.619
 the grace that we extended

00:40:25.619 --> 00:40:28.599
 that they might know us that they might fellowship

00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:30.799
 with us that they might be in our presence

00:40:30.799 --> 00:40:32.360
 that we might enjoy

00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:35.880
