00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.519
 the text for the sermon this evening comes from psalm 95 so if you have a bible i would ask you

00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:20.379
 to turn there with me psalm 95 let us hear god's own word

00:00:20.379 --> 00:00:28.719
 oh come let us sing to the lord let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation

00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:36.119
 let us come into his presence with thanksgiving let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of

00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:44.759
 praise for the lord is a great god and a great king above all gods in his hand are the depths of

00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:51.399
 the earth the heights of the mountains are his also the sea is his for he made it and his hands

00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:58.640
 formed the dry land oh come let us worship and bow down let us kneel before the lord our maker

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:05.000
 for he is our god and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:12.980
 today if you hear his voice do not harden your hearts as at meribah as on the day at massa in

00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:19.719
 the wilderness when your fathers put me to the test and put me to the proof though they had seen my

00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:27.299
 work for 40 years i loathed that generation and said there are people who go astray in their heart

00:01:27.299 --> 00:01:34.840
 and they have not known my ways therefore i swore in my wrath they shall not enter my rest

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.259
 so far the reading of god's word

00:01:38.259 --> 00:01:45.039
 well psalm 95 is a rather remarkable psalm

00:01:45.039 --> 00:01:53.539
 firstly because it is so familiar it is probably the most used call to worship in the history of the

00:01:53.540 --> 00:02:00.960
 church the words of the psalm just invite the preacher to use these marvelous joyful words to

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:07.500
 call god's people to meet before him to sing his praise to worship him we use them this evening

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:13.120
 if you can think back we use them last week in the morning service to call us to worship

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:21.460
 but this psalm is also remarkable not just for its familiarity but because of the surprising turn it takes

00:02:21.460 --> 00:02:28.460
 at the end of verse 7 having been so joyful and positive

00:02:28.460 --> 00:02:37.420
 even excited if we are allowed to use that word this psalm takes a decidedly negative turn at the

00:02:37.420 --> 00:02:45.680
 end of verse 7 the mood of the psalm changes dramatically into a very solemn warning but this

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.659
 psalm is also remarkable because it is one of the most quoted parts of the old testament in the new

00:02:50.659 --> 00:02:59.579
 testament in the book of hebrews two whole chapters chapters 3 and 4 are really a reflection on a

00:02:59.579 --> 00:03:07.439
 meditation on an application of psalm 95 where the author of the letter to the hebrews compares the

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:15.539
 situation of the church in that day to what is described for us in our psalm so the psalm then for its

00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:22.919
 familiarity for its surprising turn for its importance in scripture deserves our careful attention

00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:31.319
 but even more i think what we find in this psalm is a remarkable wonderful summary of what it means

00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:42.340
 to be in covenant with god to be in covenant with god now that word covenant that we as reformed people

00:03:42.340 --> 00:03:46.979
 delight in that we frequently use as one we might think we're rather familiar with

00:03:46.979 --> 00:03:54.640
 but like all words that we think we're familiar with we might not know exactly what we mean when we say

00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:02.259
 we are a covenant people we have a covenant god we are in covenant with god

00:04:02.259 --> 00:04:11.000
 as a reformed church we believe in covenant theology our confession our doctrinal standard the westminster

00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:17.420
 confession of faith describes how when god relates to humanity he does so by way of covenant

00:04:17.420 --> 00:04:27.339
 that god stoops down to create us finite analogies of himself image bearers and he condescends further to

00:04:27.339 --> 00:04:37.399
 enter into a relationship with us a relationship as his creation a relationship based on binding promises

00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:45.319
 that's what a covenant is a relationship based on binding promises between parties usually one lesser

00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:51.419
 and one greater and the scriptures tell us and our confession tells us how that first covenant

00:04:51.420 --> 00:04:59.960
 was made with adam and his posterity promising life upon condition of perfect and personal obedience

00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:09.960
 of course adam failed we know that god made another covenant the covenant of grace which freely offers to

00:05:09.960 --> 00:05:19.639
 sinners life and salvation by jesus christ one is law the other is gospel and then all throughout scripture

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:26.759
 we have those specific biblical covenants recorded for us that god has entered into grouped under these

00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:36.259
 broader arrangements god's covenant with abraham god's covenant with moses and the people of israel at sinai

00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:43.839
 god's covenant with david each of these covenants in which god works out his plan successively through history

00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:54.219
 but psalm 95 would also tell us what it means for us to be in covenant with god and it's an interesting

00:05:54.219 --> 00:06:05.559
 kind of instruction because it's a psalm it's a poem but in a most succinct and affecting way this psalm pulls

00:06:05.559 --> 00:06:13.699
 together great themes of biblical revelation to help us more profoundly to know to understand our covenant

00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:22.240
 relationship with our god and the psalm tells us first of all who we are who we are at the most

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:29.800
 essential level and it does that in the central verse of this psalm as many of you probably know so often

00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:36.579
 in hebrew poetry the heart of the matter the essence of the matter is at the center of the psalm

00:06:36.579 --> 00:06:44.259
 and so i think that's true of this psalm as well for in verse 7 of this psalm we are reminded

00:06:44.259 --> 00:06:53.039
 for he that is the lord is our god and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand

00:06:53.039 --> 00:07:00.019
 you see this is the most essential thing to be known about us that we have a god

00:07:00.019 --> 00:07:07.620
 and so right at the beginning we are reminded of who we are at this most essential level

00:07:07.620 --> 00:07:15.759
 and there are constant voices in our culture aren't there who would speak to us to tell us who we are

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:22.159
 but at the center of who we are is this simple but so profound confession

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:30.280
 that we have a god that we are the people of god that is who we are we have been given a name

00:07:30.280 --> 00:07:37.660
 we have been given an identity we don't turn inward to try to find our authentic self

00:07:37.660 --> 00:07:44.760
 as the world would have us to do but you see there is an external word a word outside of us that has

00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:55.480
 been spoken about us that defines us that claims us in our baptism we are baptized in the name of the triune god

00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:01.699
 in the benediction there is a blessing that seals the church in the name of god

00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:11.000
 when we belong to christ we have that name christian stamped on our hearts and god will indeed

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:21.079
 save everyone who knows who bears the name of his son it is god's speech that defines us that defines reality

00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:29.279
 just as he created the world out of nothing so too he makes a people for himself out of nothing

00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:37.240
 drawing us from death to life in the savior so that we are not our own but belong body and soul to him

00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:49.879
 the great and glorious god becomes our god and we who are a sinful and rebellious people become his people

00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:58.320
 don't know how many times you've thought about that that statement that is so simple but it can be

00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:05.960
 easy because it is so simple so familiar to us to forget how really glorious how surprising that fact is

00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.900
 the god who is the god who is the creator of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible

00:09:11.900 --> 00:09:22.240
 the god who exists in a splendor unimaginable to us the god who knows more than we can even begin

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:29.060
 to think about what he knows the god who accomplishes everything according to his purpose

00:09:29.059 --> 00:09:37.279
 the god who has a plan in detail for each one of us the god who knows the end from the beginning

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:43.699
 the god who is greater than all the grandeur of the light years of the universe that we can see through

00:09:43.699 --> 00:09:53.699
 telescopes that god desires to be our god that god desires to enter into a relationship with us

00:09:53.700 --> 00:10:02.680
 that is remarkably intimate and caring and providing we have a god with whom we have a relationship

00:10:02.680 --> 00:10:10.920
 and that relationship is between a shepherd and his sheep we are the people of his pasture

00:10:10.920 --> 00:10:19.379
 and the sheep of his hand our god is not distant he is not indifferent to us but he is near to us

00:10:19.379 --> 00:10:29.259
 and it is with his hand that he reaches out to guide us to protect us to care for us that is first of

00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:36.439
 all what it means to be in covenant with god to belong to him we see this care that he has for his

00:10:36.439 --> 00:10:44.360
 people most clearly in our lord jesus christ don't we the good shepherd the good shepherd who lays down his

00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:50.960
 life for the sheep for the sheep for this covenant relationship that is established between our great

00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:59.600
 and glorious god and us a needy and sinful people comes at a great cost a great price to be paid but

00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:08.460
 not by us it is paid by god that's the nature of his life his love that the good shepherd lays down his

00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:15.900
 life for his people that's the the extent of his care we have a god on whom we can call in our need

00:11:15.900 --> 00:11:25.160
 and he pays to save us from our sin to restore us to himself and that's what this psalm is a great

00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:32.300
 celebration of that truth that great truth that jesus christ god come in the flesh for us

00:11:32.299 --> 00:11:41.559
 that our god makes us his own and though we would so often wander like wayward sheep that he gives us

00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:49.740
 an identity he gives us a home he gives us a name through the blood of the good shepherd who lays down

00:11:49.740 --> 00:11:59.799
 his life for the sheep so that every day every hour in every circumstance we can be sure that he is

00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:09.679
 caring for us watching over us providing for us and when we reflect on who we are to whom we belong

00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:17.199
 this psalm would say we are to be a worshiping people that's the second thing we see here

00:12:17.199 --> 00:12:24.099
 this psalm would have us to ask what is the character of our god who is our god to whom we belong

00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:32.080
 so that we might worship him for who he is and what he's done and this little psalm describes our

00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:41.340
 god in terms of being the creator and the redeemer the creation is celebrated in this psalm to remind

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:47.620
 us that the god whom we are called upon to worship the god who is in covenant with us

00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:56.799
 is the god who has the power to accomplish all things that he has promised the god who brought the world

00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:06.639
 into existence who raised up mountains and cast down valleys who ruled over the sea and made the dry land

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:19.179
 that god can take care of you and me verse 4 in his hand there's the hand of god again in his hand are the depths of the earth

00:13:19.179 --> 00:13:26.559
 you see that hand that cares so intimately for you and for me is also the hand of such great power

00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:34.139
 that all the mountains of the earth can be in that hand that all the depths of the sea can be in that hand

00:13:34.139 --> 00:13:41.559
 from the greatest heights to the greatest depths in this world god is not just there but he is in

00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:51.559
 control sustaining preserving and there is no limit to his power that's why in verse 3 he is defined as

00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:59.259
 the one who is the god above all gods the king above all kings there is no power beyond his power

00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:03.259
 there is no authority beyond his authority

00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:09.779
 and that's something that's so important for us to come back to again and again

00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:14.500
 even here in this church as a little reformed community

00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:20.340
 because i think sometimes we can begin to feel that we are such a small community

00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:27.840
 and that might make us feel that perhaps god is not thinking of us quite as often as we thought

00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:37.320
 or that maybe is not quite as in charge now we might not be too impious to think that or say

00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:43.180
 it out loud but we can feel it sometimes we can wonder when we're tired of the same struggle

00:14:43.180 --> 00:14:50.940
 when we feel like we're treading water when we feel like we're drifting from where we want to be

00:14:50.940 --> 00:14:56.020
 to feel that god is not really as in charge as he is made out to be

00:14:56.020 --> 00:15:02.460
 we might look around and wish to see a church that is greater in numbers

00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:14.080
 we might look around scotland and wish to see a church that is stronger and more vibrant greater in numbers

00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:20.520
 but we must remember are the people gathered here now unimportant to our god

00:15:20.520 --> 00:15:24.900
 is the lord not accomplishing his purpose

00:15:24.900 --> 00:15:31.560
 is the god who made us the god who made scotland not faithful to care for us

00:15:31.560 --> 00:15:36.759
 you see that is the assurance we have here that's what this psalm rejoices in

00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:44.059
 that our god is the great god over all things and that what he accomplishes according to the pleasure of his will

00:15:44.059 --> 00:15:52.939
 is what he delights in and it is what we should delight in and that nothing will hinder him in his purpose in his power

00:15:52.939 --> 00:15:57.379
 he's not only the great creator god

00:15:57.379 --> 00:16:00.639
 he is also the great redeemer god

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:10.399
 oh come verse one says oh come let us sing to the lord let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation

00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:19.720
 now that phrase god is the rock of our salvation is a fairly familiar image particularly throughout the psalms

00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:27.759
 god again and again is referred to as that rock of salvation that image that brings with it a great sense of

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.779
 stability reliability reliability solidity

00:16:30.779 --> 00:16:34.960
 god can be depended upon when he makes a promise

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:39.139
 god can be depended upon when he says he will save

00:16:39.139 --> 00:16:45.620
 but when psalm 95 here speaks of god as the rock of our salvation

00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:49.899
 particularly when it goes on to speak of meribah and massa

00:16:49.899 --> 00:16:54.100
 there's another sense in which rock is being used here

00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:58.159
 one that is full of significance that we should not miss

00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:02.360
 you remember israel

00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.319
 coming out of egypt

00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:08.079
 camping at rephidim

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.539
 that place later becoming known as massa and meribah

00:17:12.539 --> 00:17:15.200
 the place of grumbling and complaining

00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.360
 exodus 17

00:17:17.360 --> 00:17:23.599
 we have there that remarkable story of israel complaining that god brought them out

00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.500
 into the wilderness to die

00:17:25.500 --> 00:17:28.299
 why did we ever leave egypt

00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:32.779
 what a remarkably short memory those people had

00:17:32.779 --> 00:17:36.019
 how quickly were they inclined to say

00:17:36.019 --> 00:17:38.059
 oh we had it better in egypt

00:17:38.059 --> 00:17:43.699
 and how they complained against moses that moses had brought them out in the wilderness

00:17:43.699 --> 00:17:50.240
 to die how they suspected that god's purpose for them was not life and salvation but death and destruction

00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:53.140
 and when they were thirsty

00:17:53.140 --> 00:17:54.980
 they complained

00:17:54.980 --> 00:17:56.660
 they grumbled

00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:59.440
 but what did god do

00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.420
 he sent his prophet moses with his staff

00:18:03.420 --> 00:18:06.059
 that staff that had parted the red sea

00:18:06.059 --> 00:18:11.220
 that staff that had led the people through the sea on dry ground

00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:13.759
 and moses struck the rock there

00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:17.220
 and from that rock poured forth water

00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:18.680
 living water

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:19.920
 the water of life

00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.279
 water to assuage the thirst of these people

00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:28.660
 so that they might know that god's plan was not that they should die in the wilderness

00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:30.799
 but that they should be delivered

00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:35.440
 psalm 95 is speaking about that rock

00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:40.180
 the rock from which the water of life flows forth

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:45.880
 and so these people who sing this psalm rejoice that god is their savior

00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:46.860
 their provider

00:18:46.860 --> 00:18:49.380
 the one who gives them the water of life

00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:53.799
 as we read from first corinthians 10

00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:58.000
 paul says that that rock that rock was christ

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:02.200
 that rock represented to the people the presence

00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:06.279
 the power the provision of christ for them in their need

00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:09.880
 so this rock here is not just a dry but solid rock

00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:14.420
 it is the rock from which comes forth the water of life

00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:20.519
 it is the rock from which comes forth water to give relief to the thirsty

00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.680
 to give life to the dying

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.220
 to bring salvation

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:28.039
 that rock is our savior

00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.400
 that rock is christ

00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:34.600
 so here is a great cause to rejoice in the gospel

00:19:34.600 --> 00:19:38.860
 the good news that we are not left to die in the wilderness

00:19:38.860 --> 00:19:42.540
 but that our god is faithful to deliver us

00:19:42.540 --> 00:19:45.860
 so we ought to come to him

00:19:45.860 --> 00:19:48.660
 with hearts full of gratitude

00:19:48.660 --> 00:19:51.400
 come into his courts with thanksgiving

00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.740
 and his gates with praise

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:56.280
 you see that is what we do here

00:19:56.280 --> 00:19:57.480
 sunday by sunday

00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:59.880
 as we gather together

00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:02.360
 we come to reflect on who our god is

00:20:02.360 --> 00:20:04.120
 as creator and as redeemer

00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:06.420
 we come to sing his praise

00:20:06.420 --> 00:20:09.160
 we come to be reminded of his promises

00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.180
 we come to be filled again and again

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:13.640
 with that amazing truth

00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:14.860
 we have a god

00:20:14.860 --> 00:20:16.000
 the great god

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:17.440
 who cares for us

00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:20.000
 the great king above all gods

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:23.420
 there is no power that can stand against him

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:29.000
 this is why our forebearers delighted to sing the psalms

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:30.960
 because the psalms are

00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.519
 and need to be so precious to us

00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.060
 they so remarkably lift up for us

00:20:36.060 --> 00:20:37.620
 the character of that god

00:20:37.620 --> 00:20:40.440
 the deliverance that we have in him

00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:44.100
 they would bid us to bring our concerns to him

00:20:44.100 --> 00:20:46.279
 like a little child coming to his father

00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:47.960
 not out of fear

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:50.860
 but because he knows his father loves him

00:20:50.860 --> 00:20:54.600
 the psalms call us to worship him

00:20:54.600 --> 00:20:57.539
 the psalms call us to find our identity

00:20:57.539 --> 00:20:58.920
 in him

00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:02.559
 and that picture of worship

00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:04.360
 that is presented here for us

00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:07.559
 is so impressive isn't it

00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:09.579
 it is a picture of great joy

00:21:09.579 --> 00:21:11.980
 and great reverence

00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:15.579
 we are to be joyful in the presence of god

00:21:15.579 --> 00:21:18.379
 and we are also to be reverent

00:21:18.379 --> 00:21:21.879
 let us kneel before the lord our maker

00:21:21.879 --> 00:21:24.879
 as psalm 2 says

00:21:24.879 --> 00:21:25.539
 rejoice

00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:27.659
 with trembling

00:21:27.659 --> 00:21:32.339
 because somehow coming before this great king

00:21:32.339 --> 00:21:36.500
 is both the deepest and profoundest joy of our hearts

00:21:36.500 --> 00:21:39.799
 and also the most solemn reality of our lives

00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:43.939
 so we are called to worship this god

00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:46.059
 because we are his covenant people

00:21:46.059 --> 00:21:49.580
 in this great relationship with him

00:21:49.580 --> 00:21:52.400
 which god himself has established for us

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:53.539
 at great cost

00:21:53.539 --> 00:21:55.660
 in the blood of his own son

00:21:55.660 --> 00:21:59.460
 and then comes that turn

00:21:59.460 --> 00:22:01.779
 that surprising turn

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:03.559
 in the second half of verse 7

00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:05.779
 the psalm here

00:22:05.779 --> 00:22:07.400
 issues a warning

00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:09.160
 a most solemn warning

00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:10.200
 for us

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.380
 the psalm says

00:22:12.380 --> 00:22:14.019
 that as we come with our praise

00:22:14.019 --> 00:22:15.080
 to god

00:22:15.080 --> 00:22:16.620
 as we come to worship him

00:22:16.620 --> 00:22:17.460
 to thank him

00:22:17.460 --> 00:22:18.759
 for all that he has done

00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:20.500
 let us never forget

00:22:20.500 --> 00:22:21.420
 to listen

00:22:21.420 --> 00:22:22.140
 to him

00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:26.220
 you see we must never be so carried away

00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:27.160
 with our activity

00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:29.319
 that we fail to listen

00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:32.759
 that we become apathetic

00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:34.960
 that we grow

00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:36.580
 indifferent

00:22:36.579 --> 00:22:38.639
 ungrateful

00:22:38.639 --> 00:22:40.439
 to all he has done for us

00:22:40.439 --> 00:22:41.399
 forgetful

00:22:41.399 --> 00:22:44.279
 to the death

00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:45.799
 from which we have been delivered

00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.819
 here is a direct application

00:22:48.819 --> 00:22:51.960
 the psalm says

00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:52.599
 today

00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:54.579
 today

00:22:54.579 --> 00:22:57.139
 Hebrews 3 and 4

00:22:57.139 --> 00:22:58.039
 would remind us

00:22:58.039 --> 00:22:58.559
 today

00:22:58.559 --> 00:22:59.960
 means every day

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:01.599
 of our sojourn

00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:02.839
 as the people of god

00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:03.839
 today

00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:05.480
 hear his voice

00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:07.439
 today

00:23:07.439 --> 00:23:08.099
 you

00:23:08.099 --> 00:23:11.099
 if you hear his voice

00:23:11.099 --> 00:23:13.980
 do you hear his voice

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:16.759
 of course you do

00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:18.199
 because the word has been read

00:23:18.199 --> 00:23:19.439
 the word is being preached

00:23:19.439 --> 00:23:21.059
 that is the word of our god

00:23:21.059 --> 00:23:23.799
 and god would say to us here

00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:26.039
 don't close your ears

00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.039
 don't neglect

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.179
 your god

00:23:30.179 --> 00:23:33.439
 and do not harden your heart

00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:35.240
 as at meribb

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.660
 as on the day

00:23:36.660 --> 00:23:37.660
 at massa

00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:38.460
 in the wilderness

00:23:38.460 --> 00:23:40.059
 when your fathers

00:23:40.059 --> 00:23:41.400
 put me to the test

00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:43.240
 and put me to the proof

00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:44.920
 though they had seen

00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:45.600
 my work

00:23:45.600 --> 00:23:48.019
 what was the essence

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.860
 of the test

00:23:48.860 --> 00:23:49.799
 to which the people

00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:50.460
 put god

00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:51.600
 there at rephedim

00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:53.900
 they grumbled

00:23:53.900 --> 00:23:56.779
 they said

00:23:56.779 --> 00:23:57.140
 you know

00:23:57.140 --> 00:23:58.400
 i don't think god

00:23:58.400 --> 00:23:59.400
 is really with us

00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.200
 and don't you see

00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:03.160
 how fundamentally

00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:04.440
 that is a betrayal

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:05.200
 of god

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:06.059
 by his people

00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:08.440
 god who created us

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.059
 god who

00:24:09.059 --> 00:24:10.299
 redeemed us

00:24:10.299 --> 00:24:11.440
 who has loved us

00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:12.680
 who gives his name

00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:13.640
 to us

00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:14.779
 to his people

00:24:14.779 --> 00:24:15.779
 and then to be told

00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:16.620
 by his people

00:24:16.620 --> 00:24:18.180
 we're not so sure

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:18.819
 about you

00:24:18.819 --> 00:24:21.840
 we're not so sure

00:24:21.840 --> 00:24:22.700
 about your purpose

00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:23.460
 or your love

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:25.700
 we're not so sure

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:26.519
 about your power

00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:27.440
 or your strength

00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.720
 maybe we'll hedge

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.160
 our bets

00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:30.820
 a little bit

00:24:30.820 --> 00:24:33.220
 after all

00:24:33.220 --> 00:24:34.000
 what do you seem

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:34.519
 to be doing

00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:35.660
 for me right now

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:39.900
 you notice

00:24:39.900 --> 00:24:40.799
 that little phrase

00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:42.019
 at the end of verse 9

00:24:42.019 --> 00:24:43.559
 though they had

00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:44.740
 seen my work

00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:46.779
 you see

00:24:46.779 --> 00:24:47.660
 this is describing

00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:48.259
 a people

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:49.200
 who saw

00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:50.480
 who didn't just

00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:51.140
 read about

00:24:51.140 --> 00:24:51.860
 who didn't just

00:24:51.860 --> 00:24:52.559
 hear preachers

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:53.200
 talk about

00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:54.360
 but who saw

00:24:54.360 --> 00:24:55.380
 the plagues

00:24:55.380 --> 00:24:56.180
 on Egypt

00:24:56.180 --> 00:24:57.880
 who saw

00:24:57.880 --> 00:24:58.700
 the angel

00:24:58.700 --> 00:24:59.360
 of death's

00:24:59.360 --> 00:24:59.760
 effect

00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:00.720
 on the firstborn

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:01.400
 of Egypt

00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:02.420
 who saw

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:03.120
 that they had

00:25:03.120 --> 00:25:04.140
 been passed over

00:25:04.140 --> 00:25:05.160
 who saw

00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:06.360
 the pillar of fire

00:25:06.360 --> 00:25:07.200
 and of cloud

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:08.180
 who saw

00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:09.080
 the red sea

00:25:09.080 --> 00:25:10.160
 open before them

00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:11.100
 who saw

00:25:11.100 --> 00:25:11.800
 the manna

00:25:11.800 --> 00:25:12.360
 from heaven

00:25:12.360 --> 00:25:13.500
 and tasted it

00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:14.640
 and swallowed it

00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.440
 and they put

00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:18.000
 their god

00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:18.920
 to the test

00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.400
 they said

00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:22.420
 is god

00:25:22.420 --> 00:25:23.340
 really with us

00:25:23.339 --> 00:25:25.220
 does god

00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:26.000
 really care

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:26.759
 does god

00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:27.159
 care

00:25:27.159 --> 00:25:27.559
 whether we

00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:28.079
 are faithful

00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:28.519
 to him

00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:28.939
 or not

00:25:28.939 --> 00:25:30.779
 is god

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:31.179
 going to

00:25:31.179 --> 00:25:31.899
 provide for us

00:25:31.899 --> 00:25:32.379
 today

00:25:32.379 --> 00:25:33.240
 right now

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:34.659
 or are we

00:25:34.659 --> 00:25:35.119
 just sort of

00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:35.579
 on our own

00:25:35.579 --> 00:25:35.859
 here

00:25:35.859 --> 00:25:36.559
 need to do

00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:36.859
 the best

00:25:36.859 --> 00:25:37.419
 we can

00:25:37.419 --> 00:25:38.519
 according to

00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:38.879
 our own

00:25:38.879 --> 00:25:39.199
 wisdom

00:25:39.199 --> 00:25:41.579
 you see

00:25:41.579 --> 00:25:42.179
 each of those

00:25:42.179 --> 00:25:42.679
 questions

00:25:42.679 --> 00:25:43.139
 the people

00:25:43.139 --> 00:25:43.659
 ask

00:25:43.659 --> 00:25:44.919
 comes expecting

00:25:44.919 --> 00:25:45.439
 a negative

00:25:45.439 --> 00:25:45.980
 answer

00:25:45.980 --> 00:25:46.759
 no god

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.220
 doesn't

00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:47.500
 know

00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:48.259
 no god

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:48.720
 doesn't

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:49.119
 care

00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:49.879
 no god

00:25:49.879 --> 00:25:50.279
 won't

00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:50.720
 act

00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:52.720
 so i'll

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:53.220
 follow my

00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:53.799
 own heart

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:55.339
 my own

00:25:55.339 --> 00:25:55.839
 ways

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:58.279
 but psalm 95

00:25:58.279 --> 00:25:59.360
 pleads with

00:25:59.360 --> 00:25:59.759
 the people

00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:00.360
 of god

00:26:00.360 --> 00:26:01.960
 as hebrews

00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:02.640
 3 and 4

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:03.519
 plead with

00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:03.940
 the people

00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:04.460
 of god

00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:05.519
 don't think

00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:06.019
 that way

00:26:06.019 --> 00:26:07.180
 don't be

00:26:07.180 --> 00:26:07.900
 that way

00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:09.819
 listen to

00:26:09.819 --> 00:26:10.200
 the word

00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:10.799
 of god

00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:11.680
 believe

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:13.079
 the word

00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:13.740
 of god

00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:14.460
 follow

00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:15.559
 the word

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:16.140
 of god

00:26:16.140 --> 00:26:18.220
 and that's

00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:18.799
 the only way

00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:19.399
 to avoid

00:26:19.399 --> 00:26:19.960
 that really

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:20.480
 terrible

00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:20.940
 curse

00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:21.220
 here

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:23.759
 i loathed

00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:24.399
 that people

00:26:24.399 --> 00:26:24.960
 for 40

00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:25.519
 years

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:26.220
 said the

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:26.480
 lord

00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:27.639
 and i

00:26:27.639 --> 00:26:28.059
 declared

00:26:28.059 --> 00:26:28.500
 in my

00:26:28.500 --> 00:26:28.879
 wrath

00:26:28.879 --> 00:26:29.899
 they shall

00:26:29.899 --> 00:26:30.500
 not enter

00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:31.299
 my rest

00:26:31.299 --> 00:26:33.119
 that should

00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:33.680
 be a most

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:34.220
 chilling

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:34.859
 word to

00:26:34.859 --> 00:26:35.220
 us

00:26:35.220 --> 00:26:36.019
 as the

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:36.299
 people

00:26:36.299 --> 00:26:36.859
 of god

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:38.139
 spoken

00:26:38.139 --> 00:26:38.680
 not to

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:39.019
 the world

00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:39.819
 of idolaters

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:41.139
 spoken

00:26:41.139 --> 00:26:41.779
 not to

00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:42.159
 the world

00:26:42.159 --> 00:26:43.200
 of unbelief

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:44.859
 but spoken

00:26:44.859 --> 00:26:45.419
 to those

00:26:45.419 --> 00:26:45.740
 who had

00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:46.359
 seen the

00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:47.159
 great redeeming

00:26:47.159 --> 00:26:47.639
 work of

00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:48.000
 god

00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:48.360
 who had

00:26:48.360 --> 00:26:48.580
 just

00:26:48.580 --> 00:26:49.020
 brought

00:26:49.020 --> 00:26:49.300
 them

00:26:49.300 --> 00:26:49.500
 out

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:49.640
 of

00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:50.060
 egypt

00:26:50.060 --> 00:26:53.740
 what was

00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:54.259
 the rest

00:26:54.259 --> 00:26:54.620
 that they

00:26:54.620 --> 00:26:55.040
 would not

00:26:55.040 --> 00:26:55.380
 enter

00:26:55.380 --> 00:26:57.280
 it was

00:26:57.280 --> 00:26:57.900
 it seems

00:26:57.900 --> 00:26:58.180
 to me

00:26:58.180 --> 00:26:58.720
 the promised

00:26:58.720 --> 00:26:59.180
 land

00:26:59.180 --> 00:27:00.920
 that land

00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:01.300
 that god

00:27:01.300 --> 00:27:01.759
 had said

00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:02.580
 i will give

00:27:02.580 --> 00:27:03.220
 you a land

00:27:03.220 --> 00:27:03.960
 flowing with

00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:04.380
 milk and

00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:04.640
 honey

00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:05.840
 where you

00:27:05.840 --> 00:27:06.240
 shall have

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:06.920
 rest from

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:07.500
 your enemies

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:08.160
 where you

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:08.560
 shall have

00:27:08.560 --> 00:27:09.080
 fellowship

00:27:09.080 --> 00:27:09.820
 with me

00:27:09.820 --> 00:27:11.300
 where you

00:27:11.300 --> 00:27:11.700
 shall have

00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:12.480
 blessedness

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.160
 a land

00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:13.500
 that was

00:27:13.500 --> 00:27:13.940
 to be a

00:27:13.940 --> 00:27:14.520
 foretaste

00:27:14.520 --> 00:27:14.840
 of the

00:27:14.840 --> 00:27:15.360
 new heavens

00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:15.640
 and the

00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:16.100
 new earth

00:27:16.100 --> 00:27:16.920
 that shall

00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:17.440
 yet come

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:18.019
 into being

00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:19.360
 a land

00:27:19.360 --> 00:27:19.680
 that was

00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:20.019
 to be

00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:20.600
 a symbol

00:27:20.600 --> 00:27:21.039
 of the

00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:21.480
 eternal

00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:21.940
 rest

00:27:21.940 --> 00:27:22.560
 to come

00:27:22.560 --> 00:27:25.960
 how often

00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:26.360
 are we

00:27:26.360 --> 00:27:26.660
 like

00:27:26.660 --> 00:27:27.180
 israel

00:27:27.180 --> 00:27:27.920
 at

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:28.460
 rephedim

00:27:28.460 --> 00:27:30.740
 you see

00:27:30.740 --> 00:27:31.160
 that's why

00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:31.660
 the story

00:27:31.660 --> 00:27:32.340
 is repeated

00:27:32.340 --> 00:27:33.060
 for us

00:27:33.060 --> 00:27:34.000
 so often

00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:34.539
 in the

00:27:34.539 --> 00:27:34.880
 scriptures

00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:35.980
 because

00:27:35.980 --> 00:27:36.660
 israel's

00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:37.160
 story is

00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:37.720
 so often

00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:38.460
 our story

00:27:38.460 --> 00:27:39.000
 isn't it

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:41.460
 we might

00:27:41.460 --> 00:27:41.900
 think that

00:27:41.900 --> 00:27:42.500
 when christ

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:43.240
 walks among

00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:43.700
 the lamp

00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:44.240
 stands in

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:44.500
 the book

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:44.759
 of the

00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:45.240
 revelation

00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:45.799
 there are

00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:46.240
 solemn

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:46.720
 warnings

00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:47.079
 there

00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:47.339
 aren't

00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:47.579
 there

00:27:47.579 --> 00:27:49.599
 that

00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:49.900
 lamp

00:27:49.900 --> 00:27:50.220
 stands

00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:50.440
 can

00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:50.599
 be

00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:51.140
 removed

00:27:51.140 --> 00:27:53.519
 and one

00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:53.759
 of the

00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:54.059
 solemn

00:27:54.059 --> 00:27:54.400
 duties

00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:54.920
 of studying

00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:55.279
 church

00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:55.640
 history

00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:56.000
 is to

00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:56.259
 notice

00:27:56.259 --> 00:27:56.700
 when that

00:27:56.700 --> 00:27:56.880
 has

00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:57.240
 happened

00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:58.539
 when the

00:27:58.539 --> 00:27:58.980
 people of

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.220
 god

00:27:59.220 --> 00:27:59.599
 seem to

00:27:59.599 --> 00:27:59.740
 have

00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:00.039
 hardened

00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:00.279
 their

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:00.619
 hearts

00:28:00.619 --> 00:28:01.000
 against

00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:01.299
 him

00:28:01.299 --> 00:28:02.640
 seem to

00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:02.779
 have

00:28:02.779 --> 00:28:03.259
 closed

00:28:03.259 --> 00:28:03.559
 their

00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:04.000
 ears

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:04.440
 to his

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:04.920
 word

00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:06.400
 despite

00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:06.960
 all that

00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:07.180
 god

00:28:07.180 --> 00:28:07.440
 has

00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:07.779
 done

00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:08.680
 and

00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:08.839
 have

00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:09.220
 stopped

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:09.720
 listening

00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:11.039
 to

00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:11.240
 their

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.599
 god

00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:13.959
 so how

00:28:13.959 --> 00:28:14.259
 do we

00:28:14.259 --> 00:28:14.699
 avoid

00:28:14.699 --> 00:28:15.019
 that

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:15.379
 how do

00:28:15.379 --> 00:28:15.519
 we

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:15.980
 avoid

00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:16.500
 hardening

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:16.719
 our

00:28:16.719 --> 00:28:17.219
 hearts

00:28:17.219 --> 00:28:18.459
 we must

00:28:18.459 --> 00:28:18.859
 always

00:28:18.859 --> 00:28:19.480
 listen

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:20.099
 to the

00:28:20.099 --> 00:28:20.299
 word

00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:20.879
 of god

00:28:20.879 --> 00:28:21.819
 to the

00:28:21.819 --> 00:28:22.240
 voice

00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:22.699
 of our

00:28:22.699 --> 00:28:23.119
 shepherd

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:24.859
 you see

00:28:24.859 --> 00:28:25.159
 it is

00:28:25.159 --> 00:28:25.500
 the word

00:28:25.500 --> 00:28:25.939
 of god

00:28:25.939 --> 00:28:26.559
 that keeps

00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:27.139
 the message

00:28:27.139 --> 00:28:27.559
 of god

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:28.159
 central

00:28:28.159 --> 00:28:28.599
 to his

00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:28.980
 people

00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:29.879
