00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.800
 Let's begin our worship now singing in Psalm 100.

00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:12.660
 Psalm 100, that's from the Scottish Psalter, the first version of it on page 362.

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:28.420
 This is one of the great rousing psalms that calls upon us, along with all mankind, to give thanks to the Lord and to come before him with cheerful voice.

00:00:28.420 --> 00:00:32.940
 All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.

00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:39.500
 Him serve with mirth, his praise foretell, come ye before him and rejoice.

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.640
 Sing to tune Old 100. We'll sing the whole psalm.

00:00:43.820 --> 00:00:47.180
 And if you're able to stand, please stand to sing.

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.560
 All people that on earth do dwell.

00:00:49.560 --> 00:01:10.560
 All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:29.079
 Him serve with mirth, his praise foretell, come ye before him and rejoice.

00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:40.079
 Know that the Lord is God indeed.

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.079
 With God, I will be.

00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:46.079
 With God, I will be.

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.079
 He did us make.

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:59.079
 We are heads for, he doth us beat.

00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:09.079
 And for his sheep he doth us pay.

00:02:09.079 --> 00:02:19.079
 Oh, when turn in his gates with praise,

00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:31.080
 Approach with joy, his courts unto praise,

00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:38.080
 Lord and bless his name always.

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:49.080
 For it is, for it is, for it is, for it is, for it is, for it did seemly so, to do.

00:02:49.080 --> 00:03:07.080
 For why the Lord our God is could, his mercy is, for ever should.

00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.160
 sure

00:03:09.160 --> 00:03:11.000
 his

00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.320
 truth that all

00:03:13.320 --> 00:03:15.240
 times firm

00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.580
 leads to

00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:21.160
 and shall

00:03:21.160 --> 00:03:22.760
 from age

00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:24.980
 to age

00:03:24.980 --> 00:03:26.760
 endure

00:03:26.760 --> 00:03:32.980
 Let's call upon the Lord now

00:03:32.980 --> 00:03:34.200
 in prayer. Let's join together

00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:35.939
 as we pray to God.

00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.760
 O Lord,

00:03:39.880 --> 00:03:40.960
 how gracious God,

00:03:41.540 --> 00:03:43.760
 we give thanks for these great

00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:45.680
 words that have encouraged

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.600
 us to come before you with

00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:49.780
 thanksgiving and even

00:03:49.780 --> 00:03:51.580
 come before you with rejoicing.

00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:53.840
 And we give thanks, Lord,

00:03:53.939 --> 00:03:55.300
 for the many truths contained

00:03:55.300 --> 00:03:57.920
 in these few verses of this psalm.

00:03:58.620 --> 00:03:59.660
 And we bless you

00:03:59.660 --> 00:04:01.660
 for the many people down through

00:04:01.660 --> 00:04:03.680
 the years that have found their consolation

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.720
 and guidance and support

00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:07.639
 from such great words

00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:08.300
 as these.

00:04:09.219 --> 00:04:10.719
 And we thank you for the relevance

00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.639
 to our own circumstances

00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:13.199
 today,

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.240
 for the way that your word

00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:16.779
 retains that relevance,

00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:18.560
 however many changes

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:19.459
 may take place

00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:20.560
 in ourselves

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.220
 and in our own lives

00:04:22.220 --> 00:04:22.779
 immediately

00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:24.439
 or in the environment

00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:25.139
 of the

00:04:25.139 --> 00:04:27.480
 nation in which we live

00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.840
 or even in our local communities.

00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:31.660
 Lord, help us,

00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:32.040
 we pray,

00:04:32.200 --> 00:04:33.560
 to prize your word

00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:34.439
 again this evening,

00:04:35.200 --> 00:04:36.120
 enable us to come

00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:36.939
 before you

00:04:36.939 --> 00:04:38.319
 knowing that your word

00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:39.400
 is given to us

00:04:39.400 --> 00:04:40.660
 so that we may learn

00:04:40.660 --> 00:04:41.759
 more of yourself,

00:04:42.280 --> 00:04:43.620
 that we may indeed

00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:44.340
 appreciate

00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:46.200
 the extent to which

00:04:46.200 --> 00:04:46.800
 you have revealed

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:47.939
 yourself to us

00:04:47.939 --> 00:04:49.400
 and the glorious

00:04:49.400 --> 00:04:50.439
 truths that you have

00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:51.660
 set out before us.

00:04:52.660 --> 00:04:53.000
 Lord,

00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:54.200
 you know each one of us

00:04:54.200 --> 00:04:54.900
 here tonight.

00:04:54.899 --> 00:04:56.739
 you know what is lying

00:04:56.739 --> 00:04:58.319
 deep within our hearts,

00:04:58.939 --> 00:04:59.699
 you know the thoughts

00:04:59.699 --> 00:05:00.819
 that are on our mind,

00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:02.539
 you know each and every

00:05:02.539 --> 00:05:03.699
 aspect of the life

00:05:03.699 --> 00:05:04.239
 we live,

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:06.159
 and so we come to you

00:05:06.159 --> 00:05:06.899
 and ask that you

00:05:06.899 --> 00:05:07.759
 would meet with us

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:09.279
 as we seek to draw

00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:10.120
 near to you.

00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:11.799
 And we thank you,

00:05:11.939 --> 00:05:12.060
 Lord,

00:05:12.159 --> 00:05:13.099
 whatever variety

00:05:13.099 --> 00:05:13.659
 of need

00:05:13.659 --> 00:05:15.379
 is evident

00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:16.359
 in this congregation

00:05:16.359 --> 00:05:17.099
 tonight,

00:05:17.679 --> 00:05:18.659
 that your word

00:05:18.659 --> 00:05:19.719
 is adequate

00:05:19.719 --> 00:05:21.279
 and always ready

00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:22.139
 to meet us

00:05:22.139 --> 00:05:23.579
 at the depth

00:05:23.579 --> 00:05:24.419
 of that need.

00:05:24.899 --> 00:05:26.039
 and at the detail

00:05:26.039 --> 00:05:26.839
 of that need.

00:05:27.479 --> 00:05:28.120
 And we pray

00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:29.079
 that we may come,

00:05:29.679 --> 00:05:29.759
 Lord,

00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:30.799
 to this place

00:05:30.799 --> 00:05:32.719
 each time we come

00:05:32.719 --> 00:05:34.139
 with that conviction

00:05:34.139 --> 00:05:34.919
 about your own

00:05:34.919 --> 00:05:35.739
 word of truth

00:05:35.739 --> 00:05:38.060
 and about the privilege

00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:38.879
 that is ours

00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.659
 in drawing near to you.

00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:42.779
 We have sung about you

00:05:42.779 --> 00:05:43.699
 as our creator,

00:05:44.359 --> 00:05:45.359
 the creator of heaven

00:05:45.359 --> 00:05:45.899
 and earth.

00:05:46.539 --> 00:05:47.579
 We sing about you

00:05:47.579 --> 00:05:48.239
 as the redeemer

00:05:48.239 --> 00:05:49.079
 of your people.

00:05:49.939 --> 00:05:50.579
 And we ask,

00:05:50.579 --> 00:05:51.199
 Lord,

00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:52.819
 tonight that this may be

00:05:52.819 --> 00:05:54.120
 our experience of you,

00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.600
 that we may marvel

00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:56.280
 once again

00:05:56.280 --> 00:05:57.259
 that our great God

00:05:57.259 --> 00:05:57.899
 and creator

00:05:57.899 --> 00:05:59.920
 has come to draw near

00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:00.540
 to us

00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:02.420
 in the person of Christ,

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:04.360
 the person of your son

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:05.899
 by which you have come

00:06:05.899 --> 00:06:06.959
 to reveal yourself

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:08.340
 supremely to us

00:06:08.340 --> 00:06:10.660
 in a way that causes us

00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:12.300
 to marvel at the extent

00:06:12.300 --> 00:06:12.959
 of your love

00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:13.680
 to your people.

00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:15.240
 Help us,

00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:15.480
 Lord,

00:06:15.540 --> 00:06:15.879
 we pray,

00:06:15.980 --> 00:06:16.680
 to learn from

00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:17.720
 every aspect

00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:18.600
 of your word.

00:06:19.459 --> 00:06:19.840
 Give us,

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:20.259
 we pray,

00:06:20.259 --> 00:06:21.100
 to delight

00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:22.720
 and to have a relish

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.040
 and to have an appetite

00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.500
 for your word

00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:26.420
 and all that it comes

00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:27.420
 to us with

00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:28.379
 to teach us.

00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:30.660
 Help us to love

00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:31.320
 the history

00:06:31.320 --> 00:06:32.400
 that your word

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:33.220
 brings to us

00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:33.720
 even though

00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:34.960
 we may not readily

00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:36.280
 have such a subject

00:06:36.280 --> 00:06:38.580
 foremost in our thoughts

00:06:38.580 --> 00:06:40.200
 or in our likings.

00:06:41.020 --> 00:06:41.660
 We thank you

00:06:41.660 --> 00:06:42.180
 for the way

00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:43.340
 that your word

00:06:43.340 --> 00:06:43.900
 brings to us

00:06:43.900 --> 00:06:44.439
 the history

00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:45.260
 of your people

00:06:45.260 --> 00:06:46.660
 and for the way

00:06:46.660 --> 00:06:47.560
 that your people

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:48.460
 have been encouraged

00:06:48.459 --> 00:06:50.120
 down through the years

00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:51.060
 from that history

00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:52.359
 that records

00:06:52.359 --> 00:06:53.599
 from the earliest times

00:06:53.599 --> 00:06:55.139
 how you spoke

00:06:55.139 --> 00:06:55.799
 to your people,

00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:56.859
 how you guided them,

00:06:57.379 --> 00:06:58.479
 how you rebuked them,

00:06:58.939 --> 00:06:59.739
 how you led them

00:06:59.739 --> 00:07:01.139
 even through difficult

00:07:01.139 --> 00:07:02.439
 and dangerous times

00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:04.060
 and how your promises

00:07:04.060 --> 00:07:04.939
 were fulfilled

00:07:04.939 --> 00:07:06.759
 as the years went by.

00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:08.539
 We thank you too,

00:07:08.620 --> 00:07:08.979
 O Lord,

00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:10.500
 for the many passages

00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:11.560
 in your word

00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.539
 that form such wonderful

00:07:13.539 --> 00:07:14.759
 poetic teaching

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.539
 in regard to the love

00:07:16.539 --> 00:07:17.120
 of God

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:18.579
 and we thank you

00:07:18.579 --> 00:07:19.840
 for the great epistles

00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:21.240
 that we find

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:22.899
 in terms of our

00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:24.819
 New Testament times

00:07:24.819 --> 00:07:26.259
 and of the way

00:07:26.259 --> 00:07:26.660
 in which

00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:29.319
 you gave such apostles

00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.560
 to write these

00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:32.600
 under the direction

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:33.379
 of your word

00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:35.040
 and we thank you

00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:35.959
 for the psalms

00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:37.480
 from which we sing

00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:38.180
 your praise.

00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:39.620
 We thank you,

00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:39.860
 Lord,

00:07:39.939 --> 00:07:40.959
 for the breadth

00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:41.620
 and the depth

00:07:41.620 --> 00:07:42.319
 and the height

00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.000
 of experience in them

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.360
 and we thank you

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:46.600
 that whatever things

00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:47.820
 we do experience

00:07:47.820 --> 00:07:48.800
 in this life,

00:07:49.580 --> 00:07:50.520
 your psalms always

00:07:50.520 --> 00:07:51.520
 go before us.

00:07:52.340 --> 00:07:53.220
 This book always

00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:54.040
 comes to us

00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:55.840
 with a ready experience

00:07:55.840 --> 00:07:56.820
 already lived

00:07:56.820 --> 00:07:57.780
 by those who went

00:07:57.780 --> 00:07:58.560
 before us

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.560
 and so that we can gain

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:01.860
 from their experience

00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:02.980
 and their conclusions

00:08:02.980 --> 00:08:04.700
 as they were guided

00:08:04.700 --> 00:08:05.520
 by the Lord.

00:08:06.420 --> 00:08:07.000
 We thank you

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:07.680
 for the presence

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.740
 of the Lord Jesus Christ

00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:10.480
 in your word

00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:11.800
 and we thank you

00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:12.760
 for the way

00:08:12.760 --> 00:08:13.760
 that from the very

00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:14.879
 beginning of time

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:16.159
 since you began

00:08:16.159 --> 00:08:17.139
 to reveal yourself

00:08:17.139 --> 00:08:17.759
 to people.

00:08:18.539 --> 00:08:19.079
 They were always

00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:20.339
 directed to think

00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:21.920
 of the coming one,

00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:23.099
 the Messiah,

00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:23.740
 the King,

00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:25.079
 who would come

00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:28.180
 to be in God's time,

00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:29.480
 the one who would

00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.339
 fulfill the many

00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:31.539
 prophecies about him

00:08:31.539 --> 00:08:32.980
 and who would come

00:08:32.980 --> 00:08:35.019
 to take our human nature

00:08:35.019 --> 00:08:36.980
 and be in our place

00:08:36.980 --> 00:08:38.559
 as our substitute.

00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:39.919
 O Lord,

00:08:40.019 --> 00:08:40.739
 we thank you

00:08:40.739 --> 00:08:42.579
 for the rich variety

00:08:42.579 --> 00:08:43.599
 of teaching

00:08:43.599 --> 00:08:45.479
 that your word brings us.

00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:47.159
 Bless us then,

00:08:47.219 --> 00:08:47.599
 we pray,

00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:48.959
 here before you

00:08:48.959 --> 00:08:49.539
 this evening.

00:08:50.219 --> 00:08:51.179
 We pray for the

00:08:51.179 --> 00:08:53.039
 power of your Spirit

00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:54.739
 to open our minds

00:08:54.739 --> 00:08:55.699
 and our understanding

00:08:55.699 --> 00:08:57.339
 to give us

00:08:57.339 --> 00:08:58.179
 a further appetite

00:08:58.179 --> 00:08:59.119
 for your truth.

00:09:00.059 --> 00:09:00.599
 Remember us,

00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:01.079
 we pray,

00:09:01.239 --> 00:09:02.159
 with relevance

00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:03.159
 to our own place

00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:04.279
 in the society

00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:05.019
 we occupy.

00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:06.819
 Help us to be

00:09:06.820 --> 00:09:08.940
 a faithful living

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:09.920
 witness and light

00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:11.260
 to the world around us.

00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:12.480
 Enable us,

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:12.780
 Lord,

00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:13.700
 to show that we

00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:14.420
 are your people

00:09:14.420 --> 00:09:15.740
 and enable us

00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:16.620
 to be burdened

00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:17.100
 to show

00:09:17.100 --> 00:09:18.500
 that this is indeed

00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:19.420
 so with us.

00:09:20.180 --> 00:09:21.040
 We ask that you

00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:21.700
 would bless us

00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:23.020
 as a congregation.

00:09:23.760 --> 00:09:24.560
 Thank you for all

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:25.420
 that takes place

00:09:25.420 --> 00:09:26.860
 in this congregation

00:09:26.860 --> 00:09:27.840
 from week to week.

00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:29.240
 We thank you,

00:09:29.379 --> 00:09:29.640
 O Lord,

00:09:29.760 --> 00:09:31.000
 for the services

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:31.580
 of worship

00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:32.440
 that we hold

00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:33.600
 and we pray

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:34.300
 that these will

00:09:34.300 --> 00:09:35.120
 continue to be

00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:35.900
 blessed to us.

00:09:35.899 --> 00:09:37.360
 Bless the preaching

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:38.139
 of your word,

00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:39.199
 the testimony

00:09:39.199 --> 00:09:40.100
 of your people.

00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:41.980
 Bless every activity,

00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:42.360
 Lord,

00:09:42.459 --> 00:09:43.100
 that's designed

00:09:43.100 --> 00:09:44.539
 to further

00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:45.699
 our knowledge of you

00:09:45.699 --> 00:09:46.500
 and to appreciate

00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:47.699
 the gospel

00:09:47.699 --> 00:09:48.319
 and the ways

00:09:48.319 --> 00:09:48.980
 of Christ.

00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:50.720
 We pray for the

00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:51.279
 forthcoming

00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:52.100
 holiday club.

00:09:52.659 --> 00:09:53.220
 We give thanks

00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:54.299
 for the effort

00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:54.799
 that has gone

00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:56.059
 into all the preparations

00:09:56.059 --> 00:09:57.639
 and we bless you

00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:58.699
 for the dedication

00:09:58.699 --> 00:09:59.579
 of those

00:09:59.579 --> 00:10:00.840
 who will lead the club

00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:01.939
 and we pray for them.

00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:03.340
 We pray for all

00:10:03.340 --> 00:10:03.819
 the children

00:10:03.819 --> 00:10:04.600
 who are expected.

00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:05.519
 Lord,

00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:06.360
 we pray that it

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:07.220
 will be of

00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:08.139
 lasting benefit

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:08.720
 to them

00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:09.680
 and that it

00:10:09.680 --> 00:10:10.480
 will be a means

00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:11.180
 by which they

00:10:11.180 --> 00:10:11.840
 themselves

00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.320
 will be brought

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:14.899
 up further

00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:15.580
 in the knowledge

00:10:15.580 --> 00:10:16.259
 of the Lord

00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:17.500
 and will be

00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:18.080
 garrisoned

00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:18.960
 against the many

00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:20.060
 efforts that

00:10:20.060 --> 00:10:20.720
 are made

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:21.460
 around us

00:10:21.460 --> 00:10:22.100
 to draw us

00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:23.540
 away from the gospel,

00:10:23.740 --> 00:10:24.759
 away from your truth,

00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:26.379
 away from those

00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:28.639
 basic matters

00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:29.160
 to do

00:10:29.160 --> 00:10:30.060
 with our

00:10:30.060 --> 00:10:31.240
 spiritual integrity

00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:32.000
 and morality.

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:33.659
 gracious Lord,

00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:34.179
 bless,

00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:34.679
 we pray,

00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:35.799
 these coming

00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:36.559
 days to the

00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:36.899
 children

00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:38.240
 and enable us

00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:39.059
 to be truly

00:10:39.059 --> 00:10:39.580
 thankful

00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:40.620
 that there has

00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:41.320
 been such a

00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:41.820
 positive,

00:10:42.379 --> 00:10:42.820
 encouraging

00:10:42.820 --> 00:10:43.580
 response

00:10:43.580 --> 00:10:45.059
 to the

00:10:45.059 --> 00:10:45.620
 invitations

00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:46.259
 to come.

00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:47.639
 And so we ask

00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:48.200
 that your blessing

00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:48.759
 now will be

00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:49.299
 with those in

00:10:49.299 --> 00:10:49.580
 need.

00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:50.460
 Lord,

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:51.179
 again we think

00:10:51.179 --> 00:10:51.600
 of those

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:52.899
 belonging to us

00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:53.460
 who are ill

00:10:53.460 --> 00:10:54.159
 at this time,

00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:55.100
 those with

00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:56.039
 serious illness,

00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:57.639
 those who have

00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:58.399
 issues of

00:10:58.399 --> 00:10:59.279
 mental health,

00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:00.459
 whether it be

00:11:00.459 --> 00:11:02.139
 in old age

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:03.100
 or middle years

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:03.559
 or even

00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:04.799
 in young days

00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:05.259
 as well.

00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:05.899
 We commend

00:11:05.899 --> 00:11:06.459
 them to you.

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:07.699
 We ask for

00:11:07.699 --> 00:11:08.459
 every effort

00:11:08.459 --> 00:11:08.799
 made,

00:11:08.980 --> 00:11:09.159
 O Lord,

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:09.959
 to help them

00:11:09.959 --> 00:11:10.899
 that they will

00:11:10.899 --> 00:11:11.839
 prove successful.

00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:13.559
 And we do pray

00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:14.559
 for thankful

00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:15.319
 hearts when we

00:11:15.319 --> 00:11:16.100
 have so many

00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:18.519
 agencies that

00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:18.939
 are able

00:11:18.939 --> 00:11:20.100
 to attend

00:11:20.100 --> 00:11:20.799
 to our needs

00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:21.259
 from time

00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:21.779
 to time.

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.019
 So we pray

00:11:23.019 --> 00:11:23.659
 your blessing

00:11:23.659 --> 00:11:24.939
 upon our

00:11:24.939 --> 00:11:25.459
 community,

00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:26.720
 upon our

00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:27.199
 schools,

00:11:27.539 --> 00:11:27.939
 upon our

00:11:27.939 --> 00:11:28.439
 teachers,

00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:29.660
 upon the

00:11:29.660 --> 00:11:30.080
 staff,

00:11:30.220 --> 00:11:30.820
 and all

00:11:30.820 --> 00:11:31.260
 the ways

00:11:31.260 --> 00:11:31.620
 in which

00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:31.900
 we are

00:11:31.900 --> 00:11:32.280
 helped,

00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:33.040
 both in

00:11:33.040 --> 00:11:33.360
 the health

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:34.580
 service and

00:11:34.580 --> 00:11:35.100
 other ways,

00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:35.420
 Lord,

00:11:35.520 --> 00:11:36.200
 each day we

00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:36.480
 live.

00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:37.560
 Make us

00:11:37.560 --> 00:11:37.920
 thankful,

00:11:38.060 --> 00:11:38.480
 we pray,

00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:39.320
 that you

00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:39.860
 have provided

00:11:39.860 --> 00:11:40.460
 us with

00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:41.080
 such rich

00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:42.380
 blessings and

00:11:42.380 --> 00:11:42.880
 enable us

00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:43.460
 to return

00:11:43.460 --> 00:11:44.000
 to you

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:44.880
 not only

00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:45.300
 a verbal

00:11:45.300 --> 00:11:46.060
 thanksgiving,

00:11:46.660 --> 00:11:47.340
 but also a

00:11:47.340 --> 00:11:48.120
 dedication of

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:48.540
 life.

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:49.960
 So we pray

00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:50.640
 these things

00:11:50.640 --> 00:11:51.560
 and seek

00:11:51.560 --> 00:11:52.040
 your blessing

00:11:52.040 --> 00:11:52.880
 in forgiving

00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:53.620
 our sins.

00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:54.580
 For Jesus'

00:11:54.580 --> 00:11:55.060
 sake,

00:11:55.400 --> 00:11:55.700
 Amen.

00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:58.640
 Now we're

00:11:58.640 --> 00:11:59.040
 going to sing

00:11:59.040 --> 00:11:59.480
 again to

00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:00.000
 God's praise.

00:12:00.100 --> 00:12:00.500
 This time we're

00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:01.180
 singing Psalm

00:12:01.180 --> 00:12:02.620
 119.

00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.040
 Psalm 119,

00:12:05.160 --> 00:12:07.020
 page 163,

00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:11.180
 from verse

00:12:11.180 --> 00:12:14.500
 97 to

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:15.500
 verse 104.

00:12:15.860 --> 00:12:16.220
 The tune this

00:12:16.220 --> 00:12:16.640
 time is

00:12:16.640 --> 00:12:17.379
 even tied.

00:12:18.379 --> 00:12:19.140
 O Lord,

00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:19.900
 how much I

00:12:19.900 --> 00:12:20.340
 love your

00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:21.020
 holy law.

00:12:21.540 --> 00:12:22.379
 I meditate

00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:23.300
 upon it all

00:12:23.300 --> 00:12:23.740
 the day.

00:12:23.740 --> 00:12:24.980
 It makes me

00:12:24.980 --> 00:12:25.659
 wiser than

00:12:25.659 --> 00:12:26.440
 my enemies,

00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:27.360
 for your

00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:28.060
 commandments

00:12:28.060 --> 00:12:31.139
 ever with

00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:32.060
 me stay.

00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:33.139
 To verse 104,

00:12:34.019 --> 00:12:34.639
 how pleasing

00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:35.460
 to my taste

00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:36.060
 are all your

00:12:36.060 --> 00:12:36.500
 words.

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:37.860
 More sweet

00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:38.500
 they are than

00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:39.159
 honey on my

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:39.480
 tongue.

00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:40.720
 From your

00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:41.680
 commands I

00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:42.799
 gain enlightenment,

00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:44.500
 so I reject

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:45.379
 and hate each

00:12:45.379 --> 00:12:46.820
 path that's

00:12:46.820 --> 00:12:47.120
 wrong.

00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:47.659
 These verses

00:12:47.659 --> 00:12:48.659
 to God's

00:12:48.659 --> 00:12:49.039
 praise.

00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:49.100
 Amen.

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:49.139
 Amen.

00:12:49.139 --> 00:12:49.200
 Amen.

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:55.960
 O Lord,

00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.060
 how much I

00:12:59.060 --> 00:13:00.560
 love your

00:13:00.560 --> 00:13:03.060
 holy law.

00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.899
 I meditate

00:13:06.899 --> 00:13:11.200
 upon it

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.740
 all the day.

00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:17.519
 It makes me

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.939
 wiser than

00:13:20.939 --> 00:13:22.840
 my enemies.

00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:27.220
 For your

00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:28.840
 commandments

00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:32.000
 ever with

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.840
 me stay.

00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.460
 I have

00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:41.679
 more in sight

00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:43.500
 than my

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:44.960
 teacher's

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:46.600
 have.

00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.120
 But on

00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:49.720
 your

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.240
 laws I

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.120

00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:55.540
 each

00:13:55.540 --> 00:13:56.600
 day.

00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:59.120

00:13:59.120 --> 00:13:59.960

00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:02.600
 discernment

00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.019
 than the

00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:06.460
 elders

00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:08.080
 have.

00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.840
 because

00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:11.100
 your

00:14:19.940 --> 00:14:21.400
 I've

00:14:21.400 --> 00:14:22.060
 kept

00:14:22.060 --> 00:14:23.860

00:14:28.460 --> 00:14:30.200
 path

00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:31.759

00:14:33.400 --> 00:14:34.560
 be

00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:36.900
 obedient

00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:37.659

 they

00:21:58.040 --> 00:21:58.500
 wasted

00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:02.160
 solemn

00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:02.619

00:22:02.619 --> 00:22:03.559
 going

00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:03.759

00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:25.900
 they

 not

 destroy

00:22:36.120 --> 00:22:37.400

00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:39.900
 but

00:22:39.900 --> 00:22:41.740
 they

00:22:41.740 --> 00:22:42.380
 mixed

00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:43.080
 with

00:22:43.080 --> 00:22:43.720
 them

00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:44.299
 and

00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:45.600
 followed

00:22:45.600 --> 00:22:47.299
 all

00:22:47.299 --> 00:22:47.900
 the

00:22:49.059 --> 00:22:50.059

 the

00:22:51.059 --> 00:22:53.099
 land

00:22:53.099 --> 00:22:55.899
 worshipping

00:22:55.899 --> 00:22:57.059
 the

00:22:57.059 --> 00:22:59.059
 idols

00:23:00.399 --> 00:23:01.059
 there

00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:03.119
 which

00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:03.720
 to

00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:04.299
 them

00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:05.059
 became

00:23:05.859 --> 00:23:07.200
 a

00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:08.059
 snare

00:23:08.059 --> 00:23:10.059
 sons

00:23:11.419 --> 00:23:12.059
 they

00:23:12.059 --> 00:23:14.059
 sacrificed

00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:15.200
 and

00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:16.059
 daughters

00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:17.059
 to

00:23:17.059 --> 00:23:18.059
 our

00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:19.059
 king

00:23:19.059 --> 00:23:20.119
 and

00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:21.059
 knighted

00:23:21.059 --> 00:23:23.059
 God

00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:25.059
 thus

00:23:25.059 --> 00:23:26.059
 their

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:27.059
 blood

00:23:27.679 --> 00:23:28.259
 was

00:23:28.259 --> 00:23:30.059
 desecrated

00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:32.059
 by

00:23:32.059 --> 00:23:33.059
 their

00:23:33.059 --> 00:23:33.700
 sting

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:34.339
 of

00:23:34.339 --> 00:23:36.059
 guiltless

00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:37.059
 blood

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:39.059
 by

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:40.059
 their

00:23:40.059 --> 00:23:41.059
 hearts

00:23:41.059 --> 00:23:43.059
 they

00:23:43.059 --> 00:23:44.059
 were

00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:46.059
 defiled

00:23:46.059 --> 00:23:48.059
 into

00:23:48.059 --> 00:23:50.059
 filthiness

00:23:50.059 --> 00:23:52.059
 they

00:23:52.059 --> 00:23:53.059
 killed

00:23:53.059 --> 00:23:56.059
 so

00:23:56.059 --> 00:23:57.059
 the

00:23:57.059 --> 00:23:58.059
 lord

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:59.059
 was

00:23:59.059 --> 00:24:00.059
 angry

00:24:00.059 --> 00:24:01.059
 with

00:24:01.059 --> 00:24:02.059
 them

00:24:02.059 --> 00:24:03.059
 and

00:24:03.059 --> 00:24:04.059
 his

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:05.059
 people

00:24:05.059 --> 00:24:06.059
 he

00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:07.059
 abhorred

00:24:07.059 --> 00:24:09.059
 gave

00:24:09.059 --> 00:24:10.059
 them

00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:11.059
 over

00:24:11.059 --> 00:24:12.059
 to

00:24:12.059 --> 00:24:14.059
 the

00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:15.059
 nations

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:17.059
 and

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:18.059
 therefore

00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:19.059
 became

00:24:19.059 --> 00:24:20.059
 their

00:24:20.059 --> 00:24:21.059
 lord

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:22.059
 subject

00:24:22.059 --> 00:24:23.059
 to

00:24:23.059 --> 00:24:24.059
 their

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:25.059
 enemy

00:24:25.059 --> 00:24:26.059
 they

00:24:26.059 --> 00:24:27.059
 were

00:24:27.059 --> 00:24:28.059
 treated

00:24:28.059 --> 00:24:29.059
 cruelly

00:24:29.059 --> 00:24:30.059
 they

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:31.059
 were

00:24:31.059 --> 00:24:32.059
 treated

00:24:32.059 --> 00:24:33.059
 cruelly

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:35.059
 cruelly

00:24:35.059 --> 00:24:36.059
 many

00:24:36.059 --> 00:24:40.059
 times he

00:24:40.059 --> 00:24:41.059
 showed his

00:24:41.059 --> 00:24:42.059
 power

00:24:42.059 --> 00:24:43.059
 by

00:24:43.059 --> 00:24:44.059
 delivering

00:24:44.059 --> 00:24:45.059
 his

00:24:45.059 --> 00:24:46.059
 own

00:24:46.059 --> 00:24:47.059
 but

00:24:47.059 --> 00:24:48.059
 they

00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:49.059
 set

00:24:49.059 --> 00:24:50.059
 their

00:24:50.059 --> 00:24:51.059
 heart

00:24:51.059 --> 00:24:52.059
 on

00:24:52.059 --> 00:24:53.059
 sinning

00:24:53.059 --> 00:25:03.059
 and

00:25:03.059 --> 00:25:04.059
 repelt

00:25:04.059 --> 00:25:05.059
 against

00:25:05.059 --> 00:25:06.059
 his

00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:07.059
 throne

00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:08.059
 in

00:25:08.059 --> 00:25:09.059
 their

00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:10.059
 sin

00:25:10.059 --> 00:25:11.059
 they

00:25:11.059 --> 00:25:12.059
 chose

00:25:12.059 --> 00:25:13.059
 to

00:25:13.059 --> 00:25:14.059
 stay

00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:15.059
 they

00:25:15.059 --> 00:25:16.059
 chose

00:25:16.059 --> 00:25:17.059
 to

00:25:17.059 --> 00:25:18.059
 stay

00:25:18.059 --> 00:25:19.059
 and

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:20.059
 they

00:25:20.059 --> 00:25:21.059
 wasted

00:25:21.059 --> 00:25:22.059
 quite

00:25:22.059 --> 00:25:24.059
 away

00:25:24.059 --> 00:25:28.059
 please

00:25:28.059 --> 00:25:30.059
 turn with me now to 2nd

00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:31.059
 chronicles

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:32.059
 chapter 24

00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:35.059
 and we'll read again at verse 15

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:40.059
 but Jehoiada grew old and full of days and died

00:25:40.059 --> 00:25:52.059
 he was a hundred and thirty years old at his death and they buried him in the city of David among the kings because he had done good in Israel and towards God and his house

00:25:52.059 --> 00:25:57.059
 after the death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and paid homage to the king

00:25:57.059 --> 00:26:21.059
 then the king listened to them and they abandoned the house of the Lord the God of their fathers and served the Asherim and the idols and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs yet he sent prophets among them to bring them back to the Lord these testified against them but they would not pay attention.

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:27.059
 following the death of Jehoshaphat

00:26:27.059 --> 00:26:32.059
 following the death of Jehoshaphat where you find a reference to that in chapter 20

00:26:32.059 --> 00:26:37.059
 the following years after that were very turbulent years in Israel

00:26:37.059 --> 00:26:39.059
 turbulent because they were

00:26:39.059 --> 00:26:41.059
 years when

00:26:41.059 --> 00:26:43.059
 relatively short rains

00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:45.059
 and bad rains

00:26:45.059 --> 00:26:46.059
 bad kings

00:26:46.059 --> 00:26:48.059
 followed Jehoshaphat

00:26:48.059 --> 00:26:50.059
 and indeed that was

00:26:50.059 --> 00:26:52.059
 generally true of this northern kingdom

00:26:52.059 --> 00:26:54.059
 that had been set up

00:26:54.059 --> 00:26:55.059
 after the death

00:26:55.059 --> 00:26:56.059
 of Solomon

00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:57.059
 when

00:26:57.059 --> 00:26:58.059
 Rehoboam

00:26:58.059 --> 00:26:59.059
 took over

00:26:59.059 --> 00:27:01.059
 and caused the division of the kingdoms

00:27:01.059 --> 00:27:02.059
 into the north

00:27:02.059 --> 00:27:03.059
 and the south

00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:05.059
 that remained like that with

00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:06.059
 the south

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:09.059
 the tribe of Judah especially prominent

00:27:09.059 --> 00:27:10.059
 in that

00:27:10.059 --> 00:27:12.059
 and as you come to

00:27:12.059 --> 00:27:13.059
 these references here

00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:14.059
 in these chapters

00:27:14.059 --> 00:27:16.059
 you'll find a reference there to Jehoram

00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:18.059
 that he reigned for eight years

00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:19.059
 they were bad years

00:27:19.059 --> 00:27:21.059
 if you go back to chapter 21

00:27:21.059 --> 00:27:23.059
 and verse 20 there

00:27:23.059 --> 00:27:24.059
 describes

00:27:24.059 --> 00:27:26.059
 in very short compass

00:27:26.059 --> 00:27:27.059
 what

00:27:27.059 --> 00:27:29.059
 he was 32 years

00:27:29.059 --> 00:27:30.059
 when he began to reign

00:27:30.059 --> 00:27:31.059
 he reigned for eight years

00:27:31.059 --> 00:27:32.059
 in Jerusalem

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:33.059
 and he departed

00:27:33.059 --> 00:27:35.059
 with no one's regret

00:27:35.059 --> 00:27:37.059
 they buried him

00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:38.059
 in the city of David

00:27:38.059 --> 00:27:39.059
 but not

00:27:39.059 --> 00:27:40.059
 in the tombs

00:27:40.059 --> 00:27:42.059
 of the kings

00:27:42.059 --> 00:27:43.059
 well that's

00:27:43.059 --> 00:27:44.059
 telling its own story

00:27:44.059 --> 00:27:45.059
 isn't it

00:27:45.059 --> 00:27:46.059
 the kind of king

00:27:46.059 --> 00:27:48.059
 that he turned out to be

00:27:48.059 --> 00:27:49.059
 and then you have

00:27:49.059 --> 00:27:50.059
 Ahaziah for a year

00:27:50.059 --> 00:27:53.059
 he was then killed by Jehu

00:27:53.059 --> 00:27:55.059
 and following that

00:27:55.059 --> 00:27:57.059
 Athaliah for six years

00:27:57.059 --> 00:27:59.059
 who ended up killing

00:27:59.059 --> 00:28:01.059
 most of the Davidic family

00:28:01.059 --> 00:28:03.059
 as you find there apart from

00:28:03.059 --> 00:28:04.059
 Joash

00:28:04.059 --> 00:28:05.059
 who was hidden

00:28:05.059 --> 00:28:07.059
 in the temple of the Lord

00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:08.059
 who was hidden

00:28:08.059 --> 00:28:11.059
 so as he was

00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:13.059
 he was actually saved

00:28:13.059 --> 00:28:16.059
 from the slaughter that happened

00:28:16.059 --> 00:28:19.059
 at that particular moment

00:28:19.059 --> 00:28:21.059
 you find that at

00:28:21.059 --> 00:28:24.059
 the previous chapters there

00:28:24.059 --> 00:28:25.059
 especially

00:28:25.059 --> 00:28:27.059
 when you find a reference there

00:28:27.059 --> 00:28:28.059
 in chapter 22

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:30.059
 where Jehoshabeath

00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:32.059
 the daughter of King Jehoram

00:28:32.059 --> 00:28:34.059
 and wife of Jehoiada

00:28:34.059 --> 00:28:35.059
 the priest

00:28:35.059 --> 00:28:36.059
 because she was a sister

00:28:36.059 --> 00:28:37.059
 of Ahaziah

00:28:37.059 --> 00:28:38.059
 she hid him

00:28:38.059 --> 00:28:39.059
 from Athaliah

00:28:39.059 --> 00:28:41.059
 Ahaziah the mother of Ahaziah

00:28:41.059 --> 00:28:42.059
 all these names

00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:44.059
 are a bit confusing

00:28:44.059 --> 00:28:45.059
 but she hid him

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:46.059
 from Athaliah

00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:47.059
 so that she did not

00:28:47.059 --> 00:28:48.059
 put him to death

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:49.059
 and he remained with them

00:28:49.059 --> 00:28:50.059
 for six years

00:28:50.059 --> 00:28:53.059
 hidden in the house of God

00:28:53.059 --> 00:28:55.059
 while Athaliah reigned

00:28:55.059 --> 00:28:56.059
 over the land

00:28:56.059 --> 00:28:57.059
 so he was spared

00:28:57.059 --> 00:28:59.059
 he was not just spared

00:28:59.059 --> 00:29:00.059
 but he was brought up

00:29:00.059 --> 00:29:01.059
 in such a way

00:29:01.059 --> 00:29:02.059
 as to be brought up

00:29:02.059 --> 00:29:03.059
 in the ways of the Lord

00:29:03.059 --> 00:29:05.059
 brought up by this

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:07.059
 by this couple

00:29:07.059 --> 00:29:08.059
 but particularly

00:29:08.059 --> 00:29:09.059
 under the teaching

00:29:09.059 --> 00:29:10.059
 of Jehoiada

00:29:10.059 --> 00:29:11.059
 the priest

00:29:11.059 --> 00:29:13.059
 who while he was priest

00:29:13.059 --> 00:29:14.059
 remained as a priest

00:29:14.059 --> 00:29:15.059
 down through these

00:29:15.059 --> 00:29:16.059
 turbulent years

00:29:16.059 --> 00:29:17.059
 until as we read there

00:29:17.059 --> 00:29:18.059
 in chapter 24

00:29:18.059 --> 00:29:19.059
 and verse 15

00:29:19.059 --> 00:29:21.059
 at 130 years old

00:29:21.059 --> 00:29:22.059
 he died

00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:25.059
 and then after he died

00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:26.059
 as we'll see tonight

00:29:26.059 --> 00:29:30.059
 the nation basically returned

00:29:30.059 --> 00:29:33.059
 to what it had been beforehand

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:35.059
 and it's a very sad story

00:29:35.059 --> 00:29:37.059
 because under the care

00:29:37.059 --> 00:29:39.059
 of Jehoiashabeath

00:29:39.059 --> 00:29:41.059
 and Jehoiada

00:29:41.059 --> 00:29:43.059
 Joash was brought up

00:29:43.059 --> 00:29:45.059
 in these ways of the Lord

00:29:45.059 --> 00:29:46.059
 and gave his time

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:47.059
 and attention to them

00:29:47.059 --> 00:29:49.059
 and in fact

00:29:49.059 --> 00:29:50.819
 as he was hidden there

00:29:50.819 --> 00:29:52.059
 by them

00:29:52.059 --> 00:29:54.059
 he came to know

00:29:54.059 --> 00:29:55.240
 something of the ways

00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:55.779
 of the Lord

00:29:55.779 --> 00:29:56.359
 so that's going to be

00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:57.379
 our first point tonight

00:29:57.379 --> 00:29:59.299
 that Joash was brought up

00:29:59.299 --> 00:30:00.200
 in the way

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:01.220
 of the Lord

00:30:01.220 --> 00:30:03.379
 and then secondly

00:30:03.379 --> 00:30:04.379
 our second point

00:30:04.379 --> 00:30:06.019
 is that Joash abandoned

00:30:06.019 --> 00:30:08.059
 the ways of the Lord

00:30:08.059 --> 00:30:09.339
 especially following

00:30:09.339 --> 00:30:11.139
 Jehoiada's death

00:30:11.139 --> 00:30:12.539
 if you turn your mind

00:30:12.539 --> 00:30:13.440
 back to

00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:15.059
 chapter 22

00:30:15.059 --> 00:30:16.179
 and verse 12

00:30:16.180 --> 00:30:18.799
 he was brought up

00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:19.240
 in the way

00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:19.960
 of the Lord

00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:21.640
 you can see in verse 12

00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:23.360
 there of chapter 22

00:30:23.360 --> 00:30:27.240
 how he remained with them

00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:28.320
 for six years

00:30:28.320 --> 00:30:30.440
 hidden in the house of God

00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:32.180
 while Athaliah reigned

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:33.220
 over the land

00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:33.960
 in other words

00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:35.220
 this really effectively

00:30:35.220 --> 00:30:36.340
 was six years

00:30:36.340 --> 00:30:37.440
 of good teaching

00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:38.820
 and good training

00:30:38.820 --> 00:30:40.420
 given by Jehoiashabeath

00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:42.259
 and the priest Jehoiada

00:30:42.259 --> 00:30:45.060
 to this young man Joash

00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:46.039
 who was destined

00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:47.679
 to take over the throne

00:30:47.679 --> 00:30:49.059
 so this was his grounding

00:30:49.059 --> 00:30:50.259
 in the teaching

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:52.039
 of the ways of the Lord

00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:53.519
 they obviously taught him

00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:54.500
 the ways of the Lord

00:30:54.500 --> 00:30:55.559
 they would have gone over

00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:56.419
 many of the ways

00:30:56.419 --> 00:30:57.059
 in which the Lord

00:30:57.059 --> 00:30:58.200
 had dealt with his people

00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:00.019
 had given his people

00:31:00.019 --> 00:31:00.700
 the privilege

00:31:00.700 --> 00:31:01.960
 of a covenant with them

00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:03.519
 how they had abandoned that

00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:04.299
 how they had left

00:31:04.299 --> 00:31:05.839
 in previous times

00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:07.339
 the ways of the Lord

00:31:07.339 --> 00:31:08.200
 and so on

00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:10.119
 and you can see from that

00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:10.899
 that this in fact

00:31:10.899 --> 00:31:12.339
 itself is an example

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:14.579
 of God actually overcoming

00:31:14.579 --> 00:31:17.039
 the attempts of those

00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:18.199
 who wanted to take

00:31:18.199 --> 00:31:19.319
 the nation away

00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:20.980
 altogether from their roots

00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:22.619
 in covenant theology

00:31:22.619 --> 00:31:24.559
 and in covenant teaching

00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:26.319
 and in covenant relationship

00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:27.319
 with God

00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:29.839
 but God here provided

00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:31.740
 this measure for Joash

00:31:31.740 --> 00:31:33.839
 so that he would be brought up

00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:35.519
 in the ways of the Lord

00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:37.419
 when he began to reign

00:31:37.419 --> 00:31:40.019
 we're thankful for that

00:31:40.019 --> 00:31:42.240
 whenever you find attempts made

00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:43.720
 to wipe out the church

00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:44.619
 whenever you find

00:31:44.619 --> 00:31:45.819
 attempts made

00:31:45.819 --> 00:31:46.740
 such as in the

00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:47.980
 New Testament itself

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:49.259
 to the days of the apostle

00:31:49.259 --> 00:31:50.319
 or the days of Jesus

00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:52.160
 you'll find that

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:52.779
 so often

00:31:52.779 --> 00:31:53.859
 you'll find the Lord

00:31:53.859 --> 00:31:55.400
 providing a means

00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.000
 by which his church

00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:57.900
 if they're not altogether

00:31:57.900 --> 00:31:58.480
 preserved

00:31:58.480 --> 00:31:59.799
 then they're certainly

00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:01.099
 protected in a measure

00:32:01.099 --> 00:32:02.299
 against them being

00:32:02.299 --> 00:32:03.019
 completely

00:32:03.019 --> 00:32:05.279
 annihilated

00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:08.240
 and he was hidden

00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:08.619
 therefore

00:32:08.619 --> 00:32:09.819
 in the house

00:32:09.819 --> 00:32:10.500
 of the Lord

00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:10.960
 and you know

00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:11.660
 that's a reminder

00:32:11.660 --> 00:32:12.279
 to us

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:13.440
 just in passing

00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:14.339
 it's not going to be

00:32:14.339 --> 00:32:15.059
 the main point

00:32:15.059 --> 00:32:15.519
 this evening

00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:16.879
 but it is a reminder

00:32:16.879 --> 00:32:17.579
 to us

00:32:17.579 --> 00:32:18.619
 because it's

00:32:18.619 --> 00:32:19.599
 we're going to see

00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:21.740
 how they abandoned

00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:22.539
 again the ways

00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:23.119
 of the Lord

00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:24.420
 and how Joash

00:32:24.420 --> 00:32:25.259
 abandoned the ways

00:32:25.259 --> 00:32:25.680
 of the Lord

00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:27.180
 despite his upbringing

00:32:27.180 --> 00:32:28.220
 but here he was

00:32:28.220 --> 00:32:29.160
 for these six years

00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:30.059
 brought up

00:32:30.059 --> 00:32:30.639
 in the ways

00:32:30.639 --> 00:32:31.079
 of the Lord

00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:31.819
 being taught

00:32:31.819 --> 00:32:33.119
 by Jehoiada

00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:34.160
 the faithful priest

00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:34.800
 of the Lord

00:32:34.800 --> 00:32:36.580
 and in Ephesians

00:32:36.580 --> 00:32:38.180
 chapter 6

00:32:38.180 --> 00:32:38.560
 as you know

00:32:38.560 --> 00:32:39.259
 verse 4

00:32:39.259 --> 00:32:41.080
 fathers especially

00:32:41.080 --> 00:32:42.640
 are given instruction

00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:43.920
 as to how to bring up

00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:44.580
 their children

00:32:44.580 --> 00:32:46.620
 and not to cause them

00:32:46.620 --> 00:32:48.900
 to rebel against the Lord

00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:49.759
 by treating them

00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:50.600
 harshly or whatever

00:32:50.600 --> 00:32:51.920
 they are to actually

00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:52.620
 bring them up

00:32:52.620 --> 00:32:53.440
 in what's called

00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:55.420
 the nurture

00:32:55.420 --> 00:32:56.700
 and discipline

00:32:56.700 --> 00:32:57.279
 of the Lord

00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:58.259
 or to put it another way

00:32:58.259 --> 00:32:59.779
 in the training

00:32:59.779 --> 00:33:00.960
 and discipline

00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:01.519
 of the Lord

00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:02.040
 because that's what

00:33:02.040 --> 00:33:02.700
 the word means

00:33:02.700 --> 00:33:03.200
 it's really

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:04.180
 a training

00:33:04.180 --> 00:33:05.059
 it's a shaping

00:33:05.059 --> 00:33:06.680
 and it was the same

00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:07.740
 for Joash

00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:08.600
 as he was brought up

00:33:08.600 --> 00:33:09.360
 by Jehoiada

00:33:09.360 --> 00:33:10.600
 for these years

00:33:10.600 --> 00:33:11.420
 these early years

00:33:11.420 --> 00:33:12.000
 of his life

00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:13.360
 he was being trained

00:33:13.360 --> 00:33:14.400
 in the ways of the Lord

00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:15.840
 his life was being shaped

00:33:15.840 --> 00:33:17.700
 by the truth of God

00:33:17.700 --> 00:33:19.059
 by the ways of the Lord

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:20.279
 by the word of the Lord

00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:21.840
 and that's why

00:33:21.840 --> 00:33:23.380
 in our own setting

00:33:23.380 --> 00:33:23.880
 especially

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:24.600
 and many others

00:33:24.600 --> 00:33:25.620
 like us as well

00:33:25.620 --> 00:33:26.660
 are concerned

00:33:26.660 --> 00:33:27.940
 to actually have

00:33:27.940 --> 00:33:28.600
 our children

00:33:28.600 --> 00:33:29.860
 under the teaching

00:33:29.860 --> 00:33:31.440
 of the word of God

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:32.580
 under the teaching

00:33:32.580 --> 00:33:33.360
 of God's word

00:33:33.360 --> 00:33:34.840
 in our homes

00:33:34.840 --> 00:33:35.880
 in church

00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:37.180
 in Sunday school

00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:38.920
 and brought

00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:40.120
 under the way

00:33:40.120 --> 00:33:41.160
 in which the word

00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:41.840
 of God

00:33:41.840 --> 00:33:43.140
 can shape

00:33:43.140 --> 00:33:44.420
 their lives positively

00:33:44.420 --> 00:33:45.480
 because there's

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:46.519
 so many influences

00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:47.080
 out there

00:33:47.080 --> 00:33:48.039
 that will shape

00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:48.640
 their lives

00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:49.480
 in the wrong way

00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:50.840
 and for you young people

00:33:50.840 --> 00:33:51.279
 tonight

00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:52.279
 be thankful

00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:52.980
 that you have

00:33:52.980 --> 00:33:53.360
 tonight

00:33:53.360 --> 00:33:54.240
 not us just here

00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:54.700
 in church

00:33:54.700 --> 00:33:55.960
 but wherever you come

00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:56.519
 under the word

00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:56.960
 of the Lord

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:57.539
 if you're taught

00:33:57.539 --> 00:33:58.700
 the word of the Lord

00:33:58.700 --> 00:33:59.380
 at home

00:33:59.380 --> 00:34:00.380
 if you're brought

00:34:00.380 --> 00:34:01.319
 by your parents

00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:02.039
 or grandparents

00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:02.900
 or whoever

00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:04.340
 to be familiar

00:34:04.340 --> 00:34:05.140
 with the gospel

00:34:05.140 --> 00:34:05.900
 with the Bible

00:34:05.900 --> 00:34:06.519
 with the teachings

00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:07.180
 of the Bible

00:34:07.180 --> 00:34:08.820
 all that is designed

00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:10.559
 to shape your life

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:11.559
 in a good way

00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:13.280
 to bring about

00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:14.240
 the kind of shape

00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:14.900
 to your life

00:34:14.900 --> 00:34:15.519
 and lifestyle

00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:16.380
 and your thinking

00:34:16.380 --> 00:34:17.440
 and your behavior

00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:18.559
 and your way of life

00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:20.199
 that will be approved

00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:20.920
 of by God

00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:21.659
 that will itself

00:34:21.659 --> 00:34:22.740
 be a means

00:34:22.740 --> 00:34:23.659
 by which you will

00:34:23.659 --> 00:34:24.720
 honor the Lord

00:34:24.720 --> 00:34:26.220
 and find in turn

00:34:26.220 --> 00:34:27.519
 that he will honor you

00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.000
 the training

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:31.759
 the shaping

00:34:31.759 --> 00:34:33.199
 by the word of God

00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:34.039
 of our lives

00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:34.440
 and of course

00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:35.039
 that's happening

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:36.460
 not just in terms

00:34:36.460 --> 00:34:37.579
 of our Sunday school

00:34:37.579 --> 00:34:39.119
 and church services

00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:39.980
 such as these

00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:40.840
 and in our homes

00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:41.300
 as well

00:34:41.300 --> 00:34:42.559
 all the other things

00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:43.780
 that we engage in as well

00:34:43.780 --> 00:34:44.719
 with our young folks

00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:45.420
 with our children

00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:46.639
 even the youngest children

00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:47.360
 take for example

00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:48.199
 the holiday club

00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:50.000
 this coming week

00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:50.519
 God willing

00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:51.739
 that's going to be

00:34:51.739 --> 00:34:52.739
 all built around

00:34:52.739 --> 00:34:53.920
 the teaching of

00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:55.039
 Mark's gospel

00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:56.900
 about the Lord

00:34:56.900 --> 00:34:57.460
 himself

00:34:57.460 --> 00:34:59.179
 and the life

00:34:59.179 --> 00:34:59.900
 of Christ

00:34:59.900 --> 00:35:01.460
 as Mark's gospel

00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:02.940
 presents that to us

00:35:02.940 --> 00:35:04.500
 and our prayer is

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:05.420
 that these young folks

00:35:05.420 --> 00:35:06.300
 will add that

00:35:06.300 --> 00:35:07.400
 to whatever else

00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:07.920
 they receive

00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:08.440
 of teaching

00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:09.119
 in their lives

00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:09.900
 and even if there are

00:35:09.900 --> 00:35:10.820
 some as there will be

00:35:10.820 --> 00:35:12.099
 that aren't familiar

00:35:12.099 --> 00:35:13.340
 with a church setting

00:35:13.340 --> 00:35:14.280
 aren't familiar

00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:15.420
 with coming to church

00:35:15.420 --> 00:35:16.320
 or to Sunday school

00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:17.539
 that they will actually

00:35:17.539 --> 00:35:18.500
 themselves see

00:35:18.500 --> 00:35:19.400
 something of the

00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:20.000
 importance

00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:21.659
 of Jesus

00:35:21.659 --> 00:35:22.760
 the importance

00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:23.539
 of living

00:35:23.539 --> 00:35:25.559
 by faith in Christ

00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:26.279
 and coming to

00:35:26.279 --> 00:35:27.699
 dedicate their life

00:35:27.699 --> 00:35:28.320
 to the Lord

00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:29.860
 all of that

00:35:29.860 --> 00:35:31.400
 is really together

00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:33.079
 how we try

00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:34.420
 and in all that

00:35:34.420 --> 00:35:35.340
 amalgamation

00:35:35.340 --> 00:35:36.380
 of means

00:35:36.380 --> 00:35:37.320
 and of efforts

00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.119
 to have our young

00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:39.659
 children

00:35:39.659 --> 00:35:40.880
 and our older

00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:41.960
 children shaped

00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:43.440
 like ourselves

00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:44.119
 as adults

00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:44.940
 in the ways

00:35:44.940 --> 00:35:45.759
 of the Lord

00:35:45.759 --> 00:35:46.699
 shaped by

00:35:46.699 --> 00:35:47.739
 the truth

00:35:47.739 --> 00:35:48.940
 of God

00:35:48.940 --> 00:35:50.460
 so there is

00:35:50.460 --> 00:35:50.960
 Joash

00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:52.360
 he was hidden

00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:53.480
 and brought up

00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:54.440
 in the ways

00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:55.000
 of the Lord

00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:55.940
 hidden in the temple

00:35:55.940 --> 00:35:56.840
 for these years

00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:58.420
 and we're applying

00:35:58.420 --> 00:35:59.400
 that to the importance

00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:00.800
 of training up

00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:01.380
 our children

00:36:01.380 --> 00:36:02.360
 as well as we're able

00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:03.820
 to in the ways

00:36:03.820 --> 00:36:04.380
 of the Lord

00:36:04.380 --> 00:36:05.059
 in the nurture

00:36:05.059 --> 00:36:06.519
 and training

00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:07.119
 and discipline

00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:07.780
 of the Lord

00:36:07.780 --> 00:36:09.619
 but then secondly

00:36:09.619 --> 00:36:11.079
 Joash came to

00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:12.260
 abandon the ways

00:36:12.260 --> 00:36:12.920
 of the Lord

00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:14.119
 and this is from

00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:15.220
 chapter 24

00:36:15.220 --> 00:36:16.220
 and verse 17

00:36:16.219 --> 00:36:17.579
 also

00:36:17.579 --> 00:36:18.259
 you'll find

00:36:18.259 --> 00:36:19.279
 first of all

00:36:19.279 --> 00:36:19.879
 it mentions

00:36:19.879 --> 00:36:21.299
 that from verse 15

00:36:21.299 --> 00:36:23.679
 after Jehoiada died

00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:25.739
 he was 130 years old

00:36:25.739 --> 00:36:26.639
 and they buried him

00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:28.559
 in the city of David

00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:29.759
 among the kings

00:36:29.759 --> 00:36:31.559
 now Joash

00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:32.879
 followed the ways

00:36:32.879 --> 00:36:33.359
 of the Lord

00:36:33.359 --> 00:36:35.439
 while Jehoiada

00:36:35.439 --> 00:36:36.579
 lived

00:36:36.579 --> 00:36:38.219
 and as soon as

00:36:38.219 --> 00:36:39.519
 Jehoiada had died

00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:40.699
 the princes

00:36:40.699 --> 00:36:41.439
 of the nation

00:36:41.439 --> 00:36:41.899
 came

00:36:41.899 --> 00:36:43.419
 and influenced

00:36:43.419 --> 00:36:44.099
 Joash

00:36:44.099 --> 00:36:45.419
 in a bad way

00:36:45.420 --> 00:36:46.920
 but you notice

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:48.360
 what it says

00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:49.519
 there in verses 24

00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:50.539
 chapter 24

00:36:50.539 --> 00:36:51.300
 all the way through

00:36:51.300 --> 00:36:52.800
 from verse 1

00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:53.460
 onwards

00:36:53.460 --> 00:36:54.840
 Joash did what was right

00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:56.300
 in the days of the Lord

00:36:56.300 --> 00:36:57.260
 in the eyes of the Lord

00:36:57.260 --> 00:36:58.460
 all the days

00:36:58.460 --> 00:36:59.800
 of Jehoiada the priest

00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:01.159
 and then it goes on

00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:01.700
 to describe

00:37:01.700 --> 00:37:03.180
 how Joash

00:37:03.180 --> 00:37:04.139
 dedicated himself

00:37:04.139 --> 00:37:05.000
 to restore

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:06.360
 the house of the Lord

00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:07.579
 the temple of the Lord

00:37:07.579 --> 00:37:08.440
 that had fallen

00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:10.000
 into serious disrepair

00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:10.840
 and you can see

00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:11.800
 all the way through there

00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:12.840
 that he is actually

00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:14.460
 engaged in obedience

00:37:14.460 --> 00:37:15.240
 to the Lord

00:37:15.240 --> 00:37:15.920
 outwardly

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:16.760
 he is following

00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:17.659
 the ways of the Lord

00:37:17.659 --> 00:37:18.519
 in his own life

00:37:18.519 --> 00:37:19.780
 he is engaged in

00:37:19.780 --> 00:37:20.920
 following the teaching

00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:21.619
 that he was given

00:37:21.619 --> 00:37:22.579
 by Jehoiada

00:37:22.579 --> 00:37:23.500
 to the extent

00:37:23.500 --> 00:37:24.159
 even of

00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:26.340
 arranging the repair

00:37:26.340 --> 00:37:27.760
 and setting up again

00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:28.400
 of the temple

00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:28.980
 and the ways

00:37:28.980 --> 00:37:29.820
 of the temple

00:37:29.820 --> 00:37:30.320
 of the Lord

00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:30.900
 that had fallen

00:37:30.900 --> 00:37:32.179
 into neglect

00:37:32.179 --> 00:37:35.179
 why had it fallen

00:37:35.179 --> 00:37:36.839
 into neglect

00:37:36.839 --> 00:37:38.759
 well it had fallen

00:37:38.759 --> 00:37:39.440
 into neglect

00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:40.399
 not just because

00:37:40.399 --> 00:37:42.279
 people had just

00:37:42.279 --> 00:37:44.000
 forgotten about

00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:44.659
 its influence

00:37:44.659 --> 00:37:46.399
 or somehow or other

00:37:46.399 --> 00:37:47.980
 just ambled in

00:37:47.980 --> 00:37:49.599
 or casually drifted away

00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:51.879
 into that sort of

00:37:51.879 --> 00:37:53.299
 neglect of the temple

00:37:53.299 --> 00:37:53.779
 of the Lord

00:37:53.779 --> 00:37:55.500
 the neglect of the temple

00:37:55.500 --> 00:37:56.099
 of the Lord

00:37:56.099 --> 00:37:57.519
 is an indication

00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:59.460
 of their spiritual

00:37:59.460 --> 00:38:00.119
 neglect

00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:01.340
 of their spiritual

00:38:01.340 --> 00:38:02.219
 abandonment

00:38:02.219 --> 00:38:02.820
 of the ways

00:38:02.820 --> 00:38:03.380
 of the Lord

00:38:03.380 --> 00:38:04.300
 they neglected

00:38:04.300 --> 00:38:04.840
 the temple

00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:05.360
 of the Lord

00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:06.400
 because they lost

00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:07.599
 interest in the Lord

00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:09.079
 they lost interest

00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:09.599
 in the Lord

00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:10.820
 because they replaced

00:38:10.820 --> 00:38:11.199
 the Lord

00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:12.039
 with these idols

00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:12.759
 the Baals

00:38:12.759 --> 00:38:13.539
 as they are called

00:38:13.539 --> 00:38:15.119
 the gods of the Canaanites

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:15.619
 the idols

00:38:15.619 --> 00:38:16.860
 of the Canaanites

00:38:16.860 --> 00:38:18.239
 these people

00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:19.199
 who had come to know

00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:20.340
 the Lord's ways

00:38:20.340 --> 00:38:21.019
 who had come to know

00:38:21.019 --> 00:38:21.539
 so much

00:38:21.539 --> 00:38:22.519
 of the benefit

00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:23.719
 of being rescued

00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:24.360
 by the Lord

00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:24.980
 from Egypt

00:38:24.980 --> 00:38:26.280
 led by the Lord

00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:26.920
 through years

00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:27.519
 in the wilderness

00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:29.300
 established by the Lord

00:38:29.300 --> 00:38:30.420
 in the land of Canaan

00:38:30.420 --> 00:38:31.400
 and here they are

00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:32.300
 and what are they doing

00:38:32.300 --> 00:38:33.080
 they're saying

00:38:33.080 --> 00:38:34.560
 let's just follow

00:38:34.560 --> 00:38:35.200
 the Baals

00:38:35.200 --> 00:38:37.000
 let's just follow

00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:38.300
 the ways of the idolaters

00:38:38.300 --> 00:38:39.160
 the Canaanites

00:38:39.160 --> 00:38:41.040
 and let's just leave

00:38:41.040 --> 00:38:41.440
 the temple

00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:42.300
 it's no use to us

00:38:42.300 --> 00:38:42.940
 anymore

00:38:42.940 --> 00:38:45.760
 and the neglect

00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:47.040
 came from

00:38:47.040 --> 00:38:48.840
 spiritual decline

00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:50.440
 but in the days

00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:51.240
 of Joash

00:38:51.240 --> 00:38:53.160
 there was gladness

00:38:53.160 --> 00:38:53.820
 there was actually

00:38:53.820 --> 00:38:54.519
 rejoicing

00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:55.840
 in the repairing

00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:56.519
 of the temple

00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:57.340
 as you find it there

00:38:57.340 --> 00:38:58.800
 described

00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:00.039
 those who were engaged

00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:00.500
 in the work

00:39:00.500 --> 00:39:01.019
 labored

00:39:01.019 --> 00:39:01.860
 repairing

00:39:01.860 --> 00:39:03.300
 what went forward

00:39:03.300 --> 00:39:05.079
 in their hands

00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:06.280
 and they were actually

00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:07.620
 glad to be able

00:39:07.620 --> 00:39:08.260
 to contribute

00:39:08.260 --> 00:39:09.440
 to the repair

00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:10.860
 of the temple

00:39:10.860 --> 00:39:11.420
 of the house

00:39:11.420 --> 00:39:12.059
 of the Lord

00:39:12.059 --> 00:39:13.840
 now you remember

00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:15.420
 that the books

00:39:15.420 --> 00:39:16.500
 of the Chronicles

00:39:16.500 --> 00:39:18.019
 are very late

00:39:18.019 --> 00:39:18.640
 composition

00:39:18.640 --> 00:39:21.640
 in the history

00:39:21.640 --> 00:39:22.220
 of Judah

00:39:22.220 --> 00:39:23.500
 they're actually

00:39:23.500 --> 00:39:24.180
 books written

00:39:24.179 --> 00:39:25.919
 for the encouragement

00:39:25.919 --> 00:39:27.619
 of those who came

00:39:27.619 --> 00:39:28.759
 back from Babylon

00:39:28.759 --> 00:39:30.139
 having been there

00:39:30.139 --> 00:39:30.899
 for many years

00:39:30.899 --> 00:39:31.519
 in captivity

00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:32.819
 under the Babylonians

00:39:32.819 --> 00:39:34.759
 and the many references

00:39:34.759 --> 00:39:35.579
 to the temple

00:39:35.579 --> 00:39:36.279
 that you find

00:39:36.279 --> 00:39:37.299
 in the books

00:39:37.299 --> 00:39:38.179
 of the Chronicles

00:39:38.179 --> 00:39:39.519
 are themselves

00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:40.879
 a way of

00:39:40.879 --> 00:39:42.980
 encouraging the people

00:39:42.980 --> 00:39:44.019
 as they come back

00:39:44.019 --> 00:39:44.679
 to Jerusalem

00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:46.219
 having been in Babylon

00:39:46.219 --> 00:39:47.519
 to get on with

00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:48.699
 rebuilding the temple

00:39:48.699 --> 00:39:50.179
 and rebuilding the ways

00:39:50.179 --> 00:39:50.859
 and the worship

00:39:50.859 --> 00:39:51.719
 of the Lord there

00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:52.419
 that's by the way

00:39:52.419 --> 00:39:53.500
 but that's important

00:39:53.500 --> 00:39:54.039
 to remember

00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:55.019
 that that's the message

00:39:55.019 --> 00:39:56.299
 of the Chronicler

00:39:56.299 --> 00:39:58.099
 of the books

00:39:58.099 --> 00:39:59.039
 of the Chronicles

00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:00.779
 the people were glad

00:40:00.779 --> 00:40:01.379
 to be able

00:40:01.379 --> 00:40:02.559
 to restore the temple

00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:03.739
 in the days

00:40:03.739 --> 00:40:04.879
 of Joash

00:40:04.879 --> 00:40:06.859
 because they read

00:40:06.859 --> 00:40:07.919
 about things

00:40:07.919 --> 00:40:08.559
 that had happened

00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:10.299
 in the past

00:40:10.299 --> 00:40:12.779
 and in the future

00:40:12.779 --> 00:40:14.139
 the same thing happened

00:40:14.139 --> 00:40:15.139
 with those who came back

00:40:15.139 --> 00:40:16.539
 from Babylon

00:40:16.539 --> 00:40:17.219
 so it's important

00:40:17.219 --> 00:40:17.599
 for us

00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:19.299
 always to frequent

00:40:19.299 --> 00:40:19.859
 ourselves

00:40:19.860 --> 00:40:20.620
 with the history

00:40:20.620 --> 00:40:21.660
 of God's people

00:40:21.660 --> 00:40:23.000
 especially the history

00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:23.740
 of God's people

00:40:23.740 --> 00:40:24.740
 that you find

00:40:24.740 --> 00:40:25.740
 written in the Bible

00:40:25.740 --> 00:40:26.280
 itself

00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:28.380
 maybe for some of us

00:40:28.380 --> 00:40:29.280
 history is not really

00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:30.440
 our favorite subject

00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:31.680
 it's maybe something

00:40:31.680 --> 00:40:33.280
 that we found boring

00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:34.400
 while we were in school

00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:36.280
 maybe the teaching

00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:36.740
 of history

00:40:36.740 --> 00:40:37.559
 was just something

00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:38.440
 that went through

00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:39.680
 a whole series of dates

00:40:39.680 --> 00:40:40.740
 and important events

00:40:40.740 --> 00:40:42.079
 in our own nation

00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:42.579
 or whatever

00:40:42.579 --> 00:40:43.760
 but the history

00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:44.720
 you find in the Bible

00:40:44.720 --> 00:40:45.980
 is crucially important

00:40:45.980 --> 00:40:47.559
 it sets out for you

00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:48.420
 the way that God

00:40:48.420 --> 00:40:49.460
 dealt with his people

00:40:49.460 --> 00:40:50.539
 the way that God

00:40:50.539 --> 00:40:51.240
 actually came

00:40:51.240 --> 00:40:52.320
 to rescue his people

00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:53.260
 the way that God

00:40:53.260 --> 00:40:53.760
 dealt them

00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:54.320
 as they turned

00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:55.199
 their back on him

00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:56.519
 all of these things

00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:57.260
 are so important

00:40:57.260 --> 00:40:58.440
 as the years went by

00:40:58.440 --> 00:40:59.720
 and the people

00:40:59.720 --> 00:41:00.579
 through the prophets

00:41:00.579 --> 00:41:01.360
 were reminded

00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:02.360
 again and again

00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:03.800
 of the importance

00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:04.900
 of their history

00:41:04.900 --> 00:41:06.699
 as God's covenant people

00:41:06.699 --> 00:41:07.920
 by the way

00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:08.820
 so Jehoiada

00:41:08.820 --> 00:41:10.179
 while Jehoiada lived

00:41:10.179 --> 00:41:12.260
 Joash was faithful

00:41:12.260 --> 00:41:13.420
 to the Lord

00:41:13.420 --> 00:41:14.619
 once he died

00:41:14.619 --> 00:41:16.300
 he actually

00:41:16.300 --> 00:41:17.920
 abandoned the ways

00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:19.079
 of the Lord

00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:20.460
 Jehoiada was a great

00:41:20.460 --> 00:41:20.739
 leader

00:41:20.739 --> 00:41:21.980
 and when you see

00:41:21.980 --> 00:41:23.279
 what's spoken about him

00:41:23.279 --> 00:41:24.679
 here in verse 15

00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:26.199
 he grew old

00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:27.039
 and was full of days

00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:27.519
 and died

00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:28.340
 he was 130

00:41:28.340 --> 00:41:29.699
 when he died

00:41:29.699 --> 00:41:30.480
 and they buried him

00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:31.699
 in the city of David

00:41:31.699 --> 00:41:32.960
 among the kings

00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:34.099
 very unusual

00:41:34.099 --> 00:41:34.900
 for a priest

00:41:34.900 --> 00:41:36.000
 to be buried

00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:37.380
 among the kings

00:41:37.380 --> 00:41:38.440
 but they did that

00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:39.099
 as it says

00:41:39.099 --> 00:41:39.940
 because he had done

00:41:39.940 --> 00:41:40.840
 so much good

00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:41.719
 in Israel

00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:42.739
 and towards God

00:41:42.739 --> 00:41:44.319
 and his house

00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:48.039
 Jehoiada's

00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:48.700
 lifespan

00:41:48.700 --> 00:41:50.100
 130 years

00:41:50.100 --> 00:41:51.500
 was the longest

00:41:51.500 --> 00:41:52.760
 recorded lifespan

00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:54.480
 since the life

00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:55.220
 of Jacob

00:41:55.220 --> 00:41:57.340
 many many many

00:41:57.340 --> 00:41:58.019
 years before

00:41:58.019 --> 00:41:59.600
 and that itself

00:41:59.600 --> 00:42:00.519
 is an indicator

00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:02.360
 of his faithfulness

00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:02.900
 to the Lord

00:42:02.900 --> 00:42:04.340
 and how vital

00:42:04.340 --> 00:42:04.880
 he was

00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:05.740
 in his own place

00:42:05.740 --> 00:42:07.200
 in the nation

00:42:07.200 --> 00:42:07.900
 at the time

00:42:07.900 --> 00:42:09.059
 but here

00:42:09.059 --> 00:42:10.360
 the people

00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:11.940
 after the death

00:42:11.940 --> 00:42:12.360
 of Jehoiada

00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:12.820
 the princes

00:42:12.820 --> 00:42:13.260
 came

00:42:13.260 --> 00:42:14.519
 and paid homage

00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:15.139
 to the king

00:42:15.139 --> 00:42:16.360
 and the king

00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:17.099
 listened to them

00:42:17.099 --> 00:42:18.720
 and they abandoned

00:42:18.720 --> 00:42:19.740
 the house of the Lord

00:42:19.740 --> 00:42:20.820
 the God

00:42:20.820 --> 00:42:21.720
 of their fathers

00:42:21.720 --> 00:42:25.179
 in other words

00:42:25.179 --> 00:42:25.780
 they followed

00:42:25.780 --> 00:42:27.880
 bad advice

00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:29.679
 they followed

00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:30.200
 the advice

00:42:30.200 --> 00:42:30.880
 of the princes

00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.500
 rather than

00:42:32.500 --> 00:42:33.240
 just give heed

00:42:33.240 --> 00:42:34.000
 to the teaching

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:35.539
 that Jehoiada

00:42:35.539 --> 00:42:36.480
 and the example

00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:37.940
 that he had left them

00:42:37.940 --> 00:42:39.720
 and Jehoash

00:42:39.720 --> 00:42:40.340
 especially

00:42:40.340 --> 00:42:41.680
 was involved

00:42:41.680 --> 00:42:42.400
 in leading

00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:43.760
 that abandonment

00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:44.280
 of the ways

00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:44.680
 of the Lord

00:42:44.680 --> 00:42:45.960
 now that is a serious

00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:47.140
 and solemn point

00:42:47.140 --> 00:42:47.980
 just imagine

00:42:47.980 --> 00:42:49.100
 remember what

00:42:49.100 --> 00:42:50.559
 is spoken of

00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:51.100
 in the earlier

00:42:51.100 --> 00:42:52.160
 part of the chapter

00:42:52.160 --> 00:42:53.300
 about Jehoash's

00:42:53.300 --> 00:42:53.920
 leadership

00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:55.100
 in repairing

00:42:55.100 --> 00:42:55.720
 the temple

00:42:55.720 --> 00:42:56.200
 the house

00:42:56.200 --> 00:42:56.760
 of the Lord

00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:57.880
 and how that

00:42:57.880 --> 00:42:58.740
 in fact was something

00:42:58.740 --> 00:42:59.800
 that he made

00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:00.559
 provision for

00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:01.840
 and yet here he is

00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:02.860
 and what's he doing

00:43:02.860 --> 00:43:04.320
 he's now in the leadership

00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:05.380
 of abandoning

00:43:05.380 --> 00:43:06.400
 the house of the Lord

00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:07.039
 of leaving

00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:07.860
 the house of the Lord

00:43:07.860 --> 00:43:09.140
 the God of their fathers

00:43:09.139 --> 00:43:12.359
 why did that happen

00:43:12.359 --> 00:43:14.679
 how could such a thing

00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:15.440
 take place

00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:17.400
 a young man

00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:18.420
 in his youth

00:43:18.420 --> 00:43:18.920
 brought up

00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:19.519
 in the ways

00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:20.119
 of the Lord

00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:21.279
 and here he is

00:43:21.279 --> 00:43:21.859
 now that he's

00:43:21.859 --> 00:43:23.000
 gone on in years

00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:23.859
 and he's coming

00:43:23.859 --> 00:43:24.460
 to abandon

00:43:24.460 --> 00:43:25.219
 the ways of the Lord

00:43:25.219 --> 00:43:25.980
 because he followed

00:43:25.980 --> 00:43:27.179
 the bad advice

00:43:27.179 --> 00:43:28.359
 given by the princes

00:43:28.359 --> 00:43:29.400
 of the nation

00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:30.500
 well it seems

00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:31.119
 that one thing

00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:32.199
 that you can read

00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:32.799
 into that

00:43:32.799 --> 00:43:33.359
 is that

00:43:33.359 --> 00:43:34.679
 Jehoash had not

00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:35.659
 really learned

00:43:35.659 --> 00:43:37.960
 to apply his own mind

00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:39.239
 to his life

00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:40.379
 and to his leadership

00:43:40.379 --> 00:43:41.960
 and it's always important

00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:42.940
 for you and for me

00:43:42.940 --> 00:43:44.339
 even if we follow

00:43:44.339 --> 00:43:45.339
 the teaching of others

00:43:45.339 --> 00:43:46.639
 like Jehoiada was

00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:47.719
 to Jehoash

00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:48.799
 that we don't just

00:43:48.799 --> 00:43:50.319
 follow what Jehoiada

00:43:50.319 --> 00:43:51.460
 or anybody else says

00:43:51.460 --> 00:43:52.500
 just for the sake of it

00:43:52.500 --> 00:43:53.500
 you don't follow

00:43:53.500 --> 00:43:54.139
 the Lord

00:43:54.139 --> 00:43:55.219
 just out of your respect

00:43:55.219 --> 00:43:56.179
 for human beings

00:43:56.179 --> 00:43:57.079
 you don't follow

00:43:57.079 --> 00:43:57.480
 the Lord

00:43:57.480 --> 00:43:58.500
 just automatically

00:43:58.500 --> 00:44:00.199
 giving a place

00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:01.159
 to whatever teaching

00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:01.920
 you've been given

00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:03.639
 good though it might have been

00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:05.179
 on the part of whoever it is

00:44:05.179 --> 00:44:06.239
 gives you that teaching

00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:07.460
 if you're following

00:44:07.460 --> 00:44:08.759
 the ways of the Lord

00:44:08.759 --> 00:44:09.279
 tonight

00:44:09.279 --> 00:44:11.059
 during the different ministries

00:44:11.059 --> 00:44:11.900
 in this congregation

00:44:11.900 --> 00:44:13.779
 and in the ministries

00:44:13.779 --> 00:44:14.299
 God willing

00:44:14.299 --> 00:44:14.960
 that may follow

00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:16.139
 our ministry here

00:44:16.139 --> 00:44:17.259
 you don't follow

00:44:17.259 --> 00:44:18.179
 the ways of the Lord

00:44:18.179 --> 00:44:19.500
 for the sake of those

00:44:19.500 --> 00:44:20.199
 that have taught you

00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:21.099
 the word of God

00:44:21.099 --> 00:44:21.940
 you do it

00:44:21.940 --> 00:44:23.579
 by applying your own mind

00:44:23.579 --> 00:44:24.960
 to the truth of God

00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:26.000
 as revealed to you

00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:26.480
 in the Bible

00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:27.500
 you learn to think

00:44:27.500 --> 00:44:28.099
 for yourself

00:44:28.099 --> 00:44:29.039
 you learn to think

00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:29.699
 your way through

00:44:29.699 --> 00:44:30.859
 the teaching of the Bible

00:44:30.859 --> 00:44:32.239
 you learn to ask yourself

00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:33.440
 what does Jesus mean

00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:33.880
 to me

00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:34.820
 why did Jesus

00:44:34.820 --> 00:44:35.820
 come into the world

00:44:35.820 --> 00:44:36.720
 why did Jesus

00:44:36.720 --> 00:44:38.139
 die the death he did

00:44:38.139 --> 00:44:39.679
 why was he resurrected

00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:40.500
 from the dead

00:44:40.500 --> 00:44:41.440
 why does the Bible

00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:41.980
 tell me

00:44:41.980 --> 00:44:42.940
 he's at the right hand

00:44:42.940 --> 00:44:43.460
 of God

00:44:43.460 --> 00:44:44.360
 why does the Bible

00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:45.679
 tell me he's coming again

00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:47.220
 you learn to think

00:44:47.220 --> 00:44:48.240
 through the teaching

00:44:48.240 --> 00:44:49.300
 of the Bible

00:44:49.300 --> 00:44:50.700
 about the church of Christ

00:44:50.700 --> 00:44:51.460
 all the way through

00:44:51.460 --> 00:44:52.579
 from the Old Testament

00:44:52.579 --> 00:44:54.079
 into the New Testament church

00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:55.679
 learning about how

00:44:55.679 --> 00:44:56.800
 in fact the church

00:44:56.800 --> 00:44:57.840
 in the days of the apostles

00:44:57.840 --> 00:44:59.460
 came to multiply

00:44:59.460 --> 00:45:00.559
 why did they multiply

00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:01.860
 what is at work there

00:45:01.860 --> 00:45:02.840
 what sort of power

00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:03.900
 was at work

00:45:03.900 --> 00:45:04.960
 you see you apply

00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:06.440
 your own minds to it

00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:07.620
 you don't just rely

00:45:07.620 --> 00:45:09.420
 on somebody else's thinking

00:45:09.420 --> 00:45:11.120
 similar to what Joash did

00:45:11.120 --> 00:45:13.019
 he relied upon Jehoiada

00:45:13.019 --> 00:45:15.059
 and as long as Jehoiada lived

00:45:15.059 --> 00:45:16.280
 he went by the word

00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:17.039
 of Jehoiada

00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:17.840
 who gave him

00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:18.780
 the word of the Lord

00:45:18.780 --> 00:45:20.559
 he had never really

00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:21.960
 considered the word

00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:22.539
 of the Lord

00:45:22.539 --> 00:45:23.960
 really deep in his own

00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:24.760
 heart and mind

00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:25.519
 for himself

00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:27.300
 so when these princes

00:45:27.300 --> 00:45:27.800
 came

00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:29.539
 he was very quickly

00:45:29.539 --> 00:45:30.420
 turned aside

00:45:30.420 --> 00:45:32.159
 and led

00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:33.860
 this abandonment

00:45:33.860 --> 00:45:35.320
 of the house

00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:36.739
 of the Lord

00:45:36.739 --> 00:45:39.420
 you know it's important

00:45:39.420 --> 00:45:40.840
 for you tonight

00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:41.539
 to think

00:45:41.539 --> 00:45:42.380
 for yourself

00:45:42.380 --> 00:45:45.159
 because the Christian faith

00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:46.179
 is not an

00:45:46.179 --> 00:45:47.699
 unthinking faith

00:45:47.699 --> 00:45:49.659
 it's not by any means

00:45:49.659 --> 00:45:50.019
 a faith

00:45:50.019 --> 00:45:51.559
 void of emotion

00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:53.340
 void of that sort of thing

00:45:53.340 --> 00:45:54.380
 there's plenty of that

00:45:54.380 --> 00:45:56.039
 but you have to use

00:45:56.039 --> 00:45:56.780
 your own mind

00:45:56.780 --> 00:45:58.079
 you have to use a mind

00:45:58.079 --> 00:45:59.300
 that is fueled

00:45:59.300 --> 00:46:00.000
 by the word

00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:01.320
 and by the spirit of God

00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:02.860
 you have to ask the Lord

00:46:02.860 --> 00:46:04.180
 as your life goes on

00:46:04.180 --> 00:46:04.800
 Lord

00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:06.260
 teach me your laws

00:46:06.260 --> 00:46:07.619
 teach me your ways

00:46:07.619 --> 00:46:09.380
 lead me into the avenues

00:46:09.380 --> 00:46:10.500
 of your truth

00:46:10.500 --> 00:46:11.980
 help me to exercise

00:46:11.980 --> 00:46:12.800
 my mind

00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:13.820
 for my own sake

00:46:13.820 --> 00:46:15.160
 whatever else

00:46:15.160 --> 00:46:16.220
 anybody says

00:46:16.220 --> 00:46:17.960
 help me to use

00:46:17.960 --> 00:46:18.740
 my mind

00:46:18.740 --> 00:46:19.940
 as it's designed

00:46:19.940 --> 00:46:20.480
 to be

00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:21.680
 to come to a right

00:46:21.680 --> 00:46:22.240
 conclusion

00:46:22.240 --> 00:46:23.160
 so that they are

00:46:23.160 --> 00:46:24.099
 my conclusions

00:46:24.099 --> 00:46:25.219
 not the conclusions

00:46:25.219 --> 00:46:25.799
 of somebody

00:46:25.799 --> 00:46:26.980
 who's taught me things

00:46:26.980 --> 00:46:28.579
 I remember

00:46:28.579 --> 00:46:29.719
 the people of

00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:31.799
 the woman of Samaria

00:46:31.799 --> 00:46:33.579
 the place there

00:46:33.579 --> 00:46:34.079
 Saichar

00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:34.860
 where she lived

00:46:34.860 --> 00:46:36.679
 when she went back

00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:37.319
 to speak of

00:46:37.319 --> 00:46:38.519
 having come to know

00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:39.039
 the Lord

00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:39.900
 that she met

00:46:39.900 --> 00:46:40.519
 at the well

00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:41.819
 and inviting them

00:46:41.819 --> 00:46:42.259
 to come

00:46:42.259 --> 00:46:43.679
 and hear this man

00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:44.319
 who had told her

00:46:44.319 --> 00:46:44.920
 all things

00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:46.159
 that she ever did

00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:47.619
 can this not be

00:46:47.619 --> 00:46:48.559
 must this not be

00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:49.139
 the Christ

00:46:49.139 --> 00:46:49.960
 what does it say

00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:50.779
 later in the chapter

00:46:50.779 --> 00:46:52.139
 they were going out

00:46:52.139 --> 00:46:52.980
 to him in streams

00:46:52.980 --> 00:46:53.699
 from the city

00:46:53.699 --> 00:46:54.320
 they were going out

00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:54.539
 to him

00:46:54.539 --> 00:46:55.380
 in hordes

00:46:55.380 --> 00:46:56.079
 multitudes

00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:57.159
 to hear him

00:46:57.159 --> 00:46:57.719
 and what did they

00:46:57.719 --> 00:46:58.260
 then say

00:46:58.260 --> 00:47:00.360
 now we believe

00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:02.719
 not for your word

00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:04.800
 for we have heard

00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:05.059
 him

00:47:05.059 --> 00:47:06.420
 ourselves

00:47:06.420 --> 00:47:08.099
 and know that

00:47:08.099 --> 00:47:08.820
 this is indeed

00:47:08.820 --> 00:47:09.380
 the Christ

00:47:09.380 --> 00:47:10.599
 why do you believe

00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:11.300
 in Christ

00:47:11.300 --> 00:47:11.679
 tonight

00:47:11.679 --> 00:47:12.659
 not because some

00:47:12.659 --> 00:47:13.619
 minister told you

00:47:13.619 --> 00:47:14.420
 even though some

00:47:14.420 --> 00:47:14.780
 minister

00:47:14.780 --> 00:47:15.800
 whoever individual

00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:17.039
 might have led you

00:47:17.039 --> 00:47:17.539
 to Christ

00:47:17.539 --> 00:47:17.940
 might have

00:47:17.940 --> 00:47:18.940
 persuaded you

00:47:18.940 --> 00:47:19.860
 to think seriously

00:47:19.860 --> 00:47:20.519
 about Christ

00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:21.980
 you believe in Christ

00:47:21.980 --> 00:47:22.920
 because you exercise

00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:23.900
 your own mind

00:47:23.900 --> 00:47:25.120
 in regard to what

00:47:25.120 --> 00:47:25.800
 you were taught

00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:26.480
 what the Bible

00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:27.440
 itself presented

00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:27.900
 to you

00:47:27.900 --> 00:47:28.680
 what the person

00:47:28.680 --> 00:47:29.539
 that led you

00:47:29.539 --> 00:47:29.980
 to Christ

00:47:29.980 --> 00:47:30.940
 was saying to you

00:47:30.940 --> 00:47:31.900
 you don't do it

00:47:31.900 --> 00:47:32.559
 for their sake

00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:33.380
 you're doing it

00:47:33.380 --> 00:47:34.440
 because your mind

00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:35.940
 was occupied

00:47:35.940 --> 00:47:36.960
 in thinking

00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:38.000
 through the truth

00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:38.660
 of God

00:47:38.660 --> 00:47:40.780
 I know if you want

00:47:40.780 --> 00:47:41.860
 and if you and I

00:47:41.860 --> 00:47:42.960
 want to remain

00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:43.539
 in the ways

00:47:43.539 --> 00:47:44.300
 of being faithful

00:47:44.300 --> 00:47:44.940
 to the Lord

00:47:44.940 --> 00:47:46.800
 the way to do it

00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:47.680
 is to exercise

00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:49.119
 your own mind

00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:49.799
 constantly

00:47:49.799 --> 00:47:50.460
 as your life

00:47:50.460 --> 00:47:50.980
 goes on

00:47:50.980 --> 00:47:52.559
 ask yourself

00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:53.599
 the proper questions

00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:54.299
 put the truth

00:47:54.299 --> 00:47:55.259
 of God

00:47:55.259 --> 00:47:55.799
 to your own

00:47:55.799 --> 00:47:56.480
 situation

00:47:56.480 --> 00:47:58.599
 and don't be

00:47:58.599 --> 00:48:00.039
 like Joash

00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:01.779
 who was led

00:48:01.779 --> 00:48:02.279
 away

00:48:02.279 --> 00:48:05.039
 by the

00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:05.419
 princes

00:48:05.419 --> 00:48:06.359
 of Israel

00:48:06.359 --> 00:48:08.879
 and

00:48:08.879 --> 00:48:10.460
 I want to say

00:48:10.460 --> 00:48:10.919
 this to the

00:48:10.919 --> 00:48:11.399
 young folk

00:48:11.399 --> 00:48:11.940
 especially

00:48:11.940 --> 00:48:14.079
 because many

00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:14.699
 of you will

00:48:14.699 --> 00:48:15.480
 be leaving

00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:15.879
 home

00:48:15.879 --> 00:48:17.259
 some of you

00:48:17.260 --> 00:48:17.620
 have already

00:48:17.620 --> 00:48:18.320
 left home

00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:18.980
 and are

00:48:18.980 --> 00:48:19.540
 expecting to

00:48:19.540 --> 00:48:20.060
 go back

00:48:20.060 --> 00:48:20.420
 either to

00:48:20.420 --> 00:48:20.880
 work or

00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:21.460
 to college

00:48:21.460 --> 00:48:22.200
 or university

00:48:22.200 --> 00:48:23.860
 and there's

00:48:23.860 --> 00:48:24.460
 a lot of

00:48:24.460 --> 00:48:25.620
 benefit in

00:48:25.620 --> 00:48:26.300
 doing that

00:48:26.300 --> 00:48:28.220
 but as you

00:48:28.220 --> 00:48:28.860
 know very well

00:48:28.860 --> 00:48:29.240
 I'm sure

00:48:29.240 --> 00:48:29.960
 there's a lot

00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:31.140
 of danger

00:48:31.140 --> 00:48:31.880
 attached to it

00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:32.320
 as well

00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:33.940
 because

00:48:33.940 --> 00:48:34.680
 they're not

00:48:34.680 --> 00:48:35.100
 necessarily

00:48:35.100 --> 00:48:36.260
 different influences

00:48:36.260 --> 00:48:37.120
 that you're

00:48:37.120 --> 00:48:37.500
 going to meet

00:48:37.500 --> 00:48:38.160
 compared to

00:48:38.160 --> 00:48:38.640
 the influences

00:48:38.640 --> 00:48:39.060
 you have

00:48:39.060 --> 00:48:39.820
 here in the

00:48:39.820 --> 00:48:40.100
 town

00:48:40.100 --> 00:48:40.520
 or on the

00:48:40.520 --> 00:48:40.820
 island

00:48:40.820 --> 00:48:42.220
 but it'll

00:48:42.220 --> 00:48:42.860
 be a

00:48:42.860 --> 00:48:43.180
 different

00:48:43.180 --> 00:48:43.780
 setting

00:48:43.780 --> 00:48:45.280
 you are

00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:45.700
 brought up

00:48:45.700 --> 00:48:46.200
 in the ways

00:48:46.200 --> 00:48:46.700
 of the Lord

00:48:46.699 --> 00:48:47.139
 that's what

00:48:47.139 --> 00:48:47.619
 leaving you

00:48:47.619 --> 00:48:48.079
 here

00:48:48.079 --> 00:48:48.819
 that's why

00:48:48.819 --> 00:48:49.119
 you went

00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:49.659
 through Sunday

00:48:49.659 --> 00:48:49.939
 school

00:48:49.939 --> 00:48:50.339
 that's why

00:48:50.339 --> 00:48:50.619
 you went

00:48:50.619 --> 00:48:50.939
 to youth

00:48:50.939 --> 00:48:51.319
 fellowship

00:48:51.319 --> 00:48:52.059
 that's why

00:48:52.059 --> 00:48:52.419
 all of

00:48:52.419 --> 00:48:52.960
 these ways

00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:53.659
 the ways

00:48:53.659 --> 00:48:54.299
 of the Lord

00:48:54.299 --> 00:48:55.579
 came to

00:48:55.579 --> 00:48:56.939
 be lodged

00:48:56.939 --> 00:48:57.239
 in your

00:48:57.239 --> 00:48:57.739
 heart

00:48:57.739 --> 00:48:59.639
 well I say

00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:00.059
 this to you

00:49:00.059 --> 00:49:00.379
 tonight

00:49:00.379 --> 00:49:02.019
 don't

00:49:02.019 --> 00:49:03.079
 be taken

00:49:03.079 --> 00:49:03.460
 in

00:49:03.460 --> 00:49:04.619
 by those

00:49:04.619 --> 00:49:05.079
 who want

00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:05.460
 you to

00:49:05.460 --> 00:49:05.980
 abandon

00:49:05.980 --> 00:49:07.339
 the ways

00:49:07.339 --> 00:49:07.819
 of the

00:49:07.819 --> 00:49:08.239
 Lord

00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:10.819
 look what

00:49:10.819 --> 00:49:11.239
 happened

00:49:11.239 --> 00:49:12.539
 in the days

00:49:12.539 --> 00:49:13.239
 of Joash

00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:14.559
 he listened

00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:15.099
 to these

00:49:15.099 --> 00:49:15.579
 princes

00:49:15.579 --> 00:49:16.879
 of Judah

00:49:16.879 --> 00:49:18.319
 and they

00:49:18.319 --> 00:49:18.879
 led him

00:49:18.879 --> 00:49:19.279
 away

00:49:19.279 --> 00:49:20.739
 from a

00:49:20.739 --> 00:49:21.199
 life that

00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:21.539
 would be

00:49:21.539 --> 00:49:22.019
 good and

00:49:22.019 --> 00:49:22.500
 beneficial

00:49:22.500 --> 00:49:23.059
 to him

00:49:23.059 --> 00:49:25.299
 into the

00:49:25.299 --> 00:49:25.839
 ways of

00:49:25.839 --> 00:49:26.719
 the Canaanites

00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:28.779
 that world

00:49:28.779 --> 00:49:29.299
 out there

00:49:29.299 --> 00:49:29.759
 friends

00:49:29.759 --> 00:49:30.879
 is waiting

00:49:30.879 --> 00:49:31.339
 for you

00:49:31.339 --> 00:49:31.959
 to embrace

00:49:31.959 --> 00:49:32.259
 it

00:49:32.259 --> 00:49:33.719
 it will do

00:49:33.719 --> 00:49:34.019
 everything

00:49:34.019 --> 00:49:34.539
 possible

00:49:34.539 --> 00:49:35.539
 to persuade

00:49:35.539 --> 00:49:35.879
 you that

00:49:35.879 --> 00:49:36.339
 that's the

00:49:36.339 --> 00:49:37.019
 way of life

00:49:37.019 --> 00:49:37.539
 really that's

00:49:37.539 --> 00:49:38.079
 best for

00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:38.399
 you

00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:39.539
 the way

00:49:39.539 --> 00:49:39.920
 of life

00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:40.440
 that lives

00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:40.840
 by the

00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:41.260
 ways of

00:49:41.260 --> 00:49:41.700
 the world

00:49:41.700 --> 00:49:42.780
 by what

00:49:42.780 --> 00:49:43.160
 the world

00:49:43.160 --> 00:49:43.740
 calls its

00:49:43.740 --> 00:49:44.599
 own values

00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:45.440
 not the

00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:45.840
 ways of

00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:46.220
 God's

00:49:46.220 --> 00:49:46.480
 truth

00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:46.820
 not the

00:49:46.820 --> 00:49:47.139
 ways you

00:49:47.139 --> 00:49:47.480
 learn

00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:48.180
 as you're

00:49:48.180 --> 00:49:48.599
 brought up

00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:48.860
 in the

00:49:48.860 --> 00:49:49.380
 church of

00:49:49.380 --> 00:49:49.639
 God

00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:49.980
 not the

00:49:49.980 --> 00:49:50.420
 ways that

00:49:50.420 --> 00:49:50.800
 you learn

00:49:50.800 --> 00:49:51.500
 under the

00:49:51.500 --> 00:49:51.880
 gospel

00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:52.280
 but the

00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:52.720
 ways of

00:49:52.720 --> 00:49:53.000
 sin

00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:53.400
 the ways

00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:54.220
 of sinful

00:49:54.220 --> 00:49:54.720
 behavior

00:49:54.720 --> 00:49:55.220
 the ways

00:49:55.220 --> 00:49:55.940
 of turning

00:49:55.940 --> 00:49:56.599
 against the

00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:56.880
 Lord

00:49:56.880 --> 00:49:57.300
 the ways

00:49:57.300 --> 00:49:57.619
 of being

00:49:57.619 --> 00:49:58.200
 opposed

00:49:58.200 --> 00:49:59.079
 to God

00:49:59.079 --> 00:49:59.440
 and what

00:49:59.440 --> 00:49:59.860
 he's saying

00:49:59.860 --> 00:50:00.300
 to you

00:50:00.300 --> 00:50:01.720
 don't listen

00:50:01.720 --> 00:50:02.820
 to any

00:50:02.820 --> 00:50:03.300
 of those

00:50:03.300 --> 00:50:03.800
 influences

00:50:03.800 --> 00:50:04.500
 because their

00:50:04.500 --> 00:50:05.420
 design is

00:50:05.420 --> 00:50:06.840
 that you

00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:07.340
 will leave

00:50:07.340 --> 00:50:07.780
 the ways

00:50:07.780 --> 00:50:08.059
 of the

00:50:08.059 --> 00:50:08.380
 Lord

00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:09.760
 and follow

00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:10.180
 the ways

00:50:10.180 --> 00:50:10.480
 of the

00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:10.900
 world

00:50:10.900 --> 00:50:12.519
 don't

00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:13.539
 let

00:50:13.539 --> 00:50:14.059
 Satan

00:50:14.059 --> 00:50:15.460
 persuade

00:50:15.460 --> 00:50:15.900
 you to

00:50:15.900 --> 00:50:16.539
 do that

00:50:16.539 --> 00:50:18.000
 follow

00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:18.720
 the God

00:50:18.720 --> 00:50:19.720
 of your

00:50:19.720 --> 00:50:20.160
 fathers

00:50:20.160 --> 00:50:20.559
 of your

00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:21.039
 mothers

00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:21.980
 of your

00:50:21.980 --> 00:50:22.860
 grandfathers

00:50:22.860 --> 00:50:24.160
 the God

00:50:24.160 --> 00:50:24.599
 of this

00:50:24.599 --> 00:50:24.960
 Bible

00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:25.380
 the God

00:50:25.380 --> 00:50:25.800
 of this

00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:26.139
 church

00:50:26.139 --> 00:50:26.660
 the God

00:50:26.660 --> 00:50:28.400
 and Father

00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:28.760
 of our

00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:29.019
 Lord

00:50:29.019 --> 00:50:29.320
 Jesus

00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:29.920
 Christ

00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:31.920
 so he

00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:32.240
 left

00:50:32.240 --> 00:50:33.079
 the Lord

00:50:33.079 --> 00:50:33.579
 after the

00:50:33.579 --> 00:50:33.880
 ways of

00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:34.200
 the Lord

00:50:34.200 --> 00:50:34.840
 because he

00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:35.099
 followed

00:50:35.099 --> 00:50:35.880
 bad advice

00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:37.260
 and along

00:50:37.260 --> 00:50:37.680
 with that

00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:38.399
 he rejected

00:50:38.399 --> 00:50:39.559
 God's

00:50:39.559 --> 00:50:39.940
 word

00:50:39.940 --> 00:50:40.199
 look at

00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:40.919
 verse 19

00:50:40.919 --> 00:50:41.539
 because it's a very

00:50:41.539 --> 00:50:42.480
 interesting verse

00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:45.259
 yet as it says

00:50:45.259 --> 00:50:45.839
 their wrath

00:50:45.839 --> 00:50:46.419
 came upon

00:50:46.419 --> 00:50:46.980
 Judah and

00:50:46.980 --> 00:50:47.339
 Jerusalem

00:50:47.339 --> 00:50:48.500
 for this guilt

00:50:48.500 --> 00:50:48.980
 of theirs

00:50:48.980 --> 00:50:49.940
 yet he sent

00:50:49.940 --> 00:50:50.819
 prophets among

00:50:50.819 --> 00:50:52.159
 them to bring

00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:53.019
 them back

00:50:53.019 --> 00:50:53.940
 to the Lord

00:50:53.940 --> 00:50:55.819
 he sent

00:50:55.819 --> 00:50:56.539
 prophets among

00:50:56.539 --> 00:50:56.819
 them

00:50:56.819 --> 00:50:58.299
 even though it

00:50:58.299 --> 00:50:59.299
 says their wrath

00:50:59.299 --> 00:50:59.839
 came upon

00:50:59.839 --> 00:51:00.099
 Judah

00:51:00.099 --> 00:51:00.739
 whose wrath

00:51:00.739 --> 00:51:01.799
 God's wrath

00:51:01.799 --> 00:51:02.339
 came upon

00:51:02.339 --> 00:51:03.239
 them yet

00:51:03.239 --> 00:51:04.259
 he sent

00:51:04.259 --> 00:51:04.719
 prophets

00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:05.299
 among them

00:51:05.299 --> 00:51:05.919
 to bring

00:51:05.919 --> 00:51:06.419
 them back

00:51:06.419 --> 00:51:06.679
 to the

00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:06.859
 Lord

00:51:06.859 --> 00:51:07.279
 now that

00:51:07.279 --> 00:51:07.759
 tells you

00:51:07.759 --> 00:51:08.039
 a lot

00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:08.359
 tonight

00:51:08.359 --> 00:51:09.219
 about the

00:51:09.219 --> 00:51:09.619
 Lord

00:51:09.619 --> 00:51:10.599
 about this

00:51:10.599 --> 00:51:11.079
 God

00:51:11.079 --> 00:51:11.799
 whom we

00:51:11.799 --> 00:51:12.259
 worship

00:51:12.259 --> 00:51:14.000
 because despite

00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:15.419
 all that he

00:51:15.419 --> 00:51:15.839
 knew had

00:51:15.839 --> 00:51:16.279
 happened

00:51:16.279 --> 00:51:17.379
 and all that

00:51:17.379 --> 00:51:17.819
 he saw

00:51:17.819 --> 00:51:18.179
 that he

00:51:18.179 --> 00:51:18.779
 detested

00:51:18.779 --> 00:51:19.099
 and the

00:51:19.099 --> 00:51:19.679
 idolatry

00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:20.039
 to which

00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:20.359
 they had

00:51:20.359 --> 00:51:20.699
 turned

00:51:20.699 --> 00:51:21.779
 and despite

00:51:21.779 --> 00:51:22.199
 the fact

00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:22.779
 that wrath

00:51:22.779 --> 00:51:23.319
 came upon

00:51:23.319 --> 00:51:23.500
 them

00:51:23.500 --> 00:51:24.299
 he didn't

00:51:24.299 --> 00:51:24.759
 stop

00:51:24.759 --> 00:51:25.179
 speaking

00:51:25.179 --> 00:51:25.719
 to them

00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:27.559
 he didn't

00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:27.899
 say to

00:51:27.899 --> 00:51:28.079
 them

00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:29.019
 go your

00:51:29.019 --> 00:51:29.539
 own way

00:51:29.539 --> 00:51:30.379
 have it

00:51:30.379 --> 00:51:30.899
 your way

00:51:30.899 --> 00:51:31.519
 see how

00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:31.879
 you get

00:51:31.879 --> 00:51:32.179
 on

00:51:32.179 --> 00:51:33.759
 he could

00:51:33.759 --> 00:51:34.099
 have done

00:51:34.099 --> 00:51:34.419
 that

00:51:34.419 --> 00:51:36.019
 they

00:51:36.019 --> 00:51:36.639
 deserved

00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:37.139
 that

00:51:37.139 --> 00:51:39.079
 but that's

00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:39.500
 not how

00:51:39.500 --> 00:51:40.039
 this God

00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:40.719
 operates

00:51:40.719 --> 00:51:43.279
 instead of

00:51:43.279 --> 00:51:43.699
 doing that

00:51:43.699 --> 00:51:43.980
 what did

00:51:43.980 --> 00:51:44.239
 he do

00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:44.719
 he sent

00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:45.139
 prophets

00:51:45.139 --> 00:51:45.599
 to them

00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:48.399
 he sent

00:51:48.399 --> 00:51:49.119
 prophets

00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:49.739
 among them

00:51:49.739 --> 00:51:50.039
 why

00:51:50.039 --> 00:51:50.639
 to bring

00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:50.919
 them

00:51:50.919 --> 00:51:51.899
 back

00:51:51.899 --> 00:51:52.319
 to the

00:51:52.319 --> 00:51:52.859
 Lord

00:51:52.859 --> 00:51:55.159
 and that

00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:55.839
 says so

00:51:55.839 --> 00:51:56.219
 much

00:51:56.219 --> 00:51:57.299
 about

00:51:57.299 --> 00:51:57.940
 God

00:51:57.940 --> 00:52:00.399
 you know

00:52:00.399 --> 00:52:00.879
 if you want

00:52:00.879 --> 00:52:01.419
 to abandon

00:52:01.419 --> 00:52:01.859
 the ways

00:52:01.860 --> 00:52:02.140
 of the

00:52:02.140 --> 00:52:02.519
 Lord

00:52:02.519 --> 00:52:04.000
 the Lord

00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:04.440
 will tell

00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:04.579
 you

00:52:04.579 --> 00:52:04.980
 that's

00:52:04.980 --> 00:52:05.240
 not

00:52:05.240 --> 00:52:05.539
 what I

00:52:05.539 --> 00:52:05.740
 want

00:52:05.740 --> 00:52:05.840
 you

00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:06.320
 to do

00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:07.640
 but if

00:52:07.640 --> 00:52:07.980
 you do

00:52:07.980 --> 00:52:08.500
 that my

00:52:08.500 --> 00:52:08.960
 word is

00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:09.380
 still going

00:52:09.380 --> 00:52:09.840
 to chase

00:52:09.840 --> 00:52:10.079
 you

00:52:10.079 --> 00:52:10.840
 because I

00:52:10.840 --> 00:52:11.180
 want you

00:52:11.180 --> 00:52:11.500
 to come

00:52:11.500 --> 00:52:12.059
 back to

00:52:12.059 --> 00:52:12.539
 the Lord

00:52:12.539 --> 00:52:14.360
 and tonight

00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:15.280
 let's think

00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:15.720
 and pray

00:52:15.720 --> 00:52:16.320
 for those

00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:16.960
 who once

00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:17.519
 used to be

00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:17.940
 here

00:52:17.940 --> 00:52:18.940
 or once

00:52:18.940 --> 00:52:19.260
 used to

00:52:19.260 --> 00:52:19.500
 be in

00:52:19.500 --> 00:52:19.700
 other

00:52:19.700 --> 00:52:20.140
 churches

00:52:20.140 --> 00:52:20.500
 but are

00:52:20.500 --> 00:52:20.860
 not there

00:52:20.860 --> 00:52:21.300
 tonight

00:52:21.300 --> 00:52:22.200
 who are

00:52:22.200 --> 00:52:22.680
 brought up

00:52:22.680 --> 00:52:22.920
 in the

00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:23.300
 ways of

00:52:23.300 --> 00:52:23.680
 the Lord

00:52:23.680 --> 00:52:24.200
 who are

00:52:24.200 --> 00:52:24.660
 persuaded

00:52:24.660 --> 00:52:25.220
 for whatever

00:52:25.220 --> 00:52:25.579
 reason

00:52:25.579 --> 00:52:26.059
 to turn

00:52:26.059 --> 00:52:26.599
 away from

00:52:26.599 --> 00:52:26.960
 the ways

00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:27.220
 of the

00:52:27.220 --> 00:52:27.440
 Lord

00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:28.039
 to go

00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:28.480
 back into

00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:28.920
 the ways

00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:29.180
 of the

00:52:29.180 --> 00:52:29.559
 world

00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:30.559
 have we

00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:31.039
 neglected

00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:31.340
 them

00:52:31.340 --> 00:52:31.880
 perhaps

00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:32.340
 sadly

00:52:32.340 --> 00:52:33.000
 we have

00:52:33.000 --> 00:52:33.659
 have we

00:52:33.659 --> 00:52:34.279
 been faithful

00:52:34.279 --> 00:52:34.840
 in trying

00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:35.500
 to persuade

00:52:35.500 --> 00:52:36.119
 them back

00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:37.400
 perhaps not

00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:37.980
 but one

00:52:37.980 --> 00:52:38.420
 thing's for

00:52:38.420 --> 00:52:38.719
 sure

00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:39.480
 God

00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:40.059
 has not

00:52:40.059 --> 00:52:40.400
 let them

00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:40.659
 out of

00:52:40.659 --> 00:52:41.360
 his sight

00:52:41.360 --> 00:52:42.900
 and this

00:52:42.900 --> 00:52:43.840
 really encourages

00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:44.260
 you and

00:52:44.260 --> 00:52:44.860
 I tonight

00:52:44.860 --> 00:52:45.920
 that even

00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:46.200
 as you

00:52:46.200 --> 00:52:46.840
 find people

00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:47.840
 turning away

00:52:47.840 --> 00:52:48.220
 from the

00:52:48.220 --> 00:52:48.599
 Lord

00:52:48.599 --> 00:52:49.660
 turning their

00:52:49.660 --> 00:52:50.200
 back upon

00:52:50.200 --> 00:52:50.740
 the Lord

00:52:50.740 --> 00:52:51.920
 you can

00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:52.380
 come to

00:52:52.380 --> 00:52:52.920
 this God

00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:53.260
 and say

00:52:53.260 --> 00:52:53.599
 Lord

00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:54.440
 were you

00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:54.980
 not the

00:52:54.980 --> 00:52:55.260
 God

00:52:55.260 --> 00:52:55.559
 in the

00:52:55.559 --> 00:52:55.980
 day of

00:52:55.980 --> 00:52:56.420
 Joash

00:52:56.420 --> 00:52:57.400
 that still

00:52:57.400 --> 00:52:58.360
 sent your

00:52:58.360 --> 00:52:58.800
 word

00:52:58.800 --> 00:52:59.480
 and sent

00:52:59.480 --> 00:52:59.960
 your word

00:52:59.960 --> 00:53:00.280
 with a

00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:00.800
 specific

00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:01.420
 purpose

00:53:01.420 --> 00:53:02.360
 of bringing

00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:03.099
 them back

00:53:03.099 --> 00:53:03.400
 to the

00:53:03.400 --> 00:53:03.740
 Lord

00:53:03.740 --> 00:53:04.400
 Lord

00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:04.680
 will you

00:53:04.680 --> 00:53:05.320
 not speak

00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:05.780
 to them

00:53:05.780 --> 00:53:06.300
 will you

00:53:06.300 --> 00:53:06.700
 not bring

00:53:06.700 --> 00:53:07.360
 them back

00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:08.860
 will you

00:53:08.860 --> 00:53:09.280
 not bring

00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:10.579
 them into

00:53:10.579 --> 00:53:11.019
 the ways

00:53:11.019 --> 00:53:11.280
 of the

00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:11.519
 Lord

00:53:11.519 --> 00:53:12.000
 again

00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:14.840
 here is

00:53:14.840 --> 00:53:15.539
 a great

00:53:15.539 --> 00:53:16.119
 encouragement

00:53:16.119 --> 00:53:18.480
 that God

00:53:18.480 --> 00:53:19.820
 did not

00:53:19.820 --> 00:53:20.280
 abandon

00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:20.980
 these people

00:53:20.980 --> 00:53:22.400
 and allow

00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:22.780
 them just

00:53:22.780 --> 00:53:23.039
 to go

00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:23.440
 their own

00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:23.780
 way

00:53:23.780 --> 00:53:24.840
 he sent

00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:25.420
 prophets

00:53:25.420 --> 00:53:27.039
 they

00:53:27.039 --> 00:53:27.659
 testified

00:53:27.659 --> 00:53:28.860
 against

00:53:28.860 --> 00:53:29.199
 them

00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:30.739
 they brought

00:53:30.739 --> 00:53:31.460
 the mind

00:53:31.460 --> 00:53:31.800
 of the

00:53:31.800 --> 00:53:32.079
 Lord

00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:32.780
 to them

00:53:32.780 --> 00:53:34.259
 and then

00:53:34.259 --> 00:53:34.579
 what does

00:53:34.579 --> 00:53:35.000
 it say

00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:37.500
 but they

00:53:37.500 --> 00:53:37.960
 would not

00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:38.780
 pay attention

00:53:38.780 --> 00:53:41.040
 do you

00:53:41.040 --> 00:53:41.660
 not find

00:53:41.660 --> 00:53:42.620
 these among

00:53:42.620 --> 00:53:43.680
 the saddest

00:53:43.680 --> 00:53:44.360
 words you

00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:44.800
 could read

00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:45.160
 even in

00:53:45.160 --> 00:53:45.760
 the Bible

00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:47.360
 that here

00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:48.019
 was God

00:53:48.019 --> 00:53:48.880
 burdened to

00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:49.340
 bring them

00:53:49.340 --> 00:53:49.920
 back if you

00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:50.580
 like and

00:53:50.580 --> 00:53:51.480
 sent prophets

00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:52.900
 specifically to

00:53:52.900 --> 00:53:53.680
 preach his

00:53:53.680 --> 00:53:54.200
 word to

00:53:54.200 --> 00:53:54.920
 them to

00:53:54.920 --> 00:53:55.500
 bring his

00:53:55.500 --> 00:53:56.240
 judgment to

00:53:56.240 --> 00:53:57.300
 them to

00:53:57.300 --> 00:53:58.480
 testify against

00:53:58.480 --> 00:53:58.960
 them as to

00:53:58.960 --> 00:53:59.580
 the seriousness

00:53:59.580 --> 00:54:00.160
 of what they

00:54:00.160 --> 00:54:00.680
 had done

00:54:00.680 --> 00:54:02.040
 but they

00:54:02.040 --> 00:54:02.540
 would not

00:54:02.540 --> 00:54:03.420
 pay attention

00:54:03.420 --> 00:54:05.780
 you see

00:54:05.780 --> 00:54:06.099
 when you

00:54:06.099 --> 00:54:06.480
 leave the

00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:06.880
 ways of

00:54:06.880 --> 00:54:07.360
 the Lord

00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:08.320
 you're

00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:08.880
 entering a

00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:09.659
 very very

00:54:09.659 --> 00:54:10.240
 dangerous

00:54:10.240 --> 00:54:10.860
 path

00:54:10.860 --> 00:54:12.579
 when anyone

00:54:12.579 --> 00:54:13.139
 leaves the

00:54:13.139 --> 00:54:13.539
 ways of

00:54:13.539 --> 00:54:14.019
 the Lord

00:54:14.019 --> 00:54:15.079
 they ought

00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:15.599
 never to

00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:16.000
 persuade

00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:16.440
 themselves

00:54:16.440 --> 00:54:17.280
 I can

00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:17.800
 come back

00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:18.079
 in the

00:54:18.079 --> 00:54:18.420
 future

00:54:18.420 --> 00:54:19.079
 when I

00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:19.760
 choose to

00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:21.960
 that may

00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:22.760
 never happen

00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:24.800
 because when

00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:25.440
 you come to

00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:26.519
 harden your

00:54:26.519 --> 00:54:27.119
 heart against

00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:27.519
 the Lord

00:54:27.519 --> 00:54:28.059
 to close

00:54:28.059 --> 00:54:28.500
 your mind

00:54:28.500 --> 00:54:28.980
 against the

00:54:28.980 --> 00:54:29.139
 Lord

00:54:29.139 --> 00:54:29.880
 you have

00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:30.440
 absolutely

00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:31.220
 no guarantee

00:54:31.220 --> 00:54:31.880
 even if the

00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:32.440
 Lord keeps

00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:33.000
 speaking to

00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:33.260
 you

00:54:33.260 --> 00:54:34.420
 and keeps

00:54:34.420 --> 00:54:35.020
 speaking into

00:54:35.020 --> 00:54:35.620
 your conscience

00:54:35.620 --> 00:54:36.400
 you have

00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:37.040
 no guarantee

00:54:37.040 --> 00:54:39.900
 that you

00:54:39.900 --> 00:54:40.240
 will pay

00:54:40.240 --> 00:54:40.740
 attention

00:54:40.740 --> 00:54:42.460
 that you

00:54:42.460 --> 00:54:42.880
 will listen

00:54:42.880 --> 00:54:43.680
 seriously to

00:54:43.680 --> 00:54:44.120
 God

00:54:44.120 --> 00:54:45.160
 please

00:54:45.160 --> 00:54:46.460
 whatever you

00:54:46.460 --> 00:54:46.680
 do

00:54:46.680 --> 00:54:47.660
 listen

00:54:47.660 --> 00:54:48.900
 seriously

00:54:48.900 --> 00:54:49.860
 whenever God

00:54:49.860 --> 00:54:50.440
 is speaking

00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:51.040
 to you

00:54:51.040 --> 00:54:53.240
 don't be like

00:54:53.240 --> 00:54:53.860
 these people

00:54:53.860 --> 00:54:54.980
 who would not

00:54:54.980 --> 00:54:55.740
 pay attention

00:54:55.740 --> 00:54:56.840
 even though

00:54:56.840 --> 00:54:57.560
 God went to

00:54:57.560 --> 00:54:58.160
 such effort

00:54:58.160 --> 00:54:58.820
 as to bring

00:54:58.820 --> 00:54:59.480
 these prophets

00:54:59.480 --> 00:54:59.960
 to them

00:54:59.960 --> 00:55:01.420
 to bring his

00:55:01.420 --> 00:55:02.040
 word to bring

00:55:02.040 --> 00:55:02.620
 his will to

00:55:02.620 --> 00:55:02.920
 them

00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:05.420
 and tonight

00:55:05.420 --> 00:55:05.980
 we pray

00:55:05.980 --> 00:55:07.460
 that those

00:55:07.460 --> 00:55:07.840
 who have

00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:08.380
 gone away

00:55:08.380 --> 00:55:08.800
 from the

00:55:08.800 --> 00:55:09.200
 Lord for

00:55:09.200 --> 00:55:09.480
 whatever

00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:09.900
 reason

00:55:09.900 --> 00:55:11.619
 and especially

00:55:11.619 --> 00:55:12.320
 those who

00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:13.720
 maybe were

00:55:13.720 --> 00:55:14.780
 following the

00:55:14.780 --> 00:55:15.420
 Lord before

00:55:15.420 --> 00:55:16.639
 the dreadful

00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:17.200
 days of

00:55:17.200 --> 00:55:18.119
 COVID and

00:55:18.119 --> 00:55:18.579
 all that's

00:55:18.579 --> 00:55:19.059
 associated

00:55:19.059 --> 00:55:20.200
 with COVID

00:55:20.200 --> 00:55:21.180
 and the

00:55:21.180 --> 00:55:22.720
 complications

00:55:22.720 --> 00:55:23.500
 that that

00:55:23.500 --> 00:55:24.039
 caused in

00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:24.680
 people's lives

00:55:24.680 --> 00:55:25.300
 and undoubtedly

00:55:25.300 --> 00:55:26.700
 many people

00:55:26.700 --> 00:55:27.280
 did fall

00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:27.579
 away

00:55:27.579 --> 00:55:28.079
 spiritually

00:55:28.079 --> 00:55:29.639
 but let's

00:55:29.639 --> 00:55:29.920
 pray

00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:30.579
 friends

00:55:30.579 --> 00:55:31.199
 that God

00:55:31.199 --> 00:55:31.840
 will keep

00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:32.619
 sending his

00:55:32.619 --> 00:55:32.940
 word

00:55:32.940 --> 00:55:33.659
 and that he

00:55:33.659 --> 00:55:34.039
 will keep

00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:34.980
 sending us

00:55:34.980 --> 00:55:35.599
 as well

00:55:35.599 --> 00:55:36.619
 to bring his

00:55:36.619 --> 00:55:37.420
 word to them

00:55:37.420 --> 00:55:37.980
 to persuade

00:55:37.980 --> 00:55:38.319
 them

00:55:38.319 --> 00:55:39.519
 that God

00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:40.119
 has not

00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:40.759
 changed

00:55:40.759 --> 00:55:41.940
 that God

00:55:41.940 --> 00:55:42.440
 is still

00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:43.019
 willing to

00:55:43.019 --> 00:55:43.420
 have them

00:55:43.420 --> 00:55:43.880
 back

00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:44.759
 that the

00:55:44.759 --> 00:55:45.340
 reason God

00:55:45.340 --> 00:55:46.059
 still speaks

00:55:46.059 --> 00:55:46.360
 to them

00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:46.819
 through his

00:55:46.819 --> 00:55:47.259
 word

00:55:47.259 --> 00:55:48.799
 is because

00:55:48.799 --> 00:55:49.159
 they will

00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:49.699
 not have

00:55:49.699 --> 00:55:49.960
 him

00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:51.380
 to be

00:55:51.380 --> 00:55:51.819
 abandoned

00:55:51.819 --> 00:55:52.539
 altogether

00:55:52.539 --> 00:55:54.880
 they

00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:56.679
 rejected

00:55:56.679 --> 00:55:57.199
 God's

00:55:57.199 --> 00:55:57.599
 word

00:55:57.599 --> 00:55:58.519
 and so

00:55:58.519 --> 00:55:59.019
 they brought

00:55:59.019 --> 00:56:00.059
 destruction

00:56:00.059 --> 00:56:00.860
 upon

00:56:00.860 --> 00:56:01.279
 themselves

00:56:01.279 --> 00:56:01.619
 I'm not

00:56:01.619 --> 00:56:01.840
 going to

00:56:01.840 --> 00:56:02.119
 go into

00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:02.500
 it tonight

00:56:02.500 --> 00:56:02.880
 because

00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:03.739
 our time

00:56:03.739 --> 00:56:04.179
 is largely

00:56:04.179 --> 00:56:04.500
 gone

00:56:04.500 --> 00:56:05.340
 but from

00:56:05.340 --> 00:56:05.920
 verse 20

00:56:05.920 --> 00:56:06.159
 there

00:56:06.159 --> 00:56:07.360
 you find

00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:07.659
 how

00:56:07.659 --> 00:56:09.460
 the Lord

00:56:09.460 --> 00:56:10.579
 used

00:56:10.579 --> 00:56:11.400
 Zechariah

00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:11.980
 interesting

00:56:11.980 --> 00:56:12.300
 words

00:56:12.300 --> 00:56:12.800
 the spirit

00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:13.119
 of the

00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:13.380
 Lord

00:56:13.380 --> 00:56:14.360
 clothed

00:56:14.360 --> 00:56:14.820
 Zechariah

00:56:14.820 --> 00:56:15.579
 the son

00:56:15.579 --> 00:56:16.400
 of Jehoiada

00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:17.539
 here is

00:56:17.539 --> 00:56:18.119
 Jehoiada

00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:19.539
 present as

00:56:19.539 --> 00:56:19.840
 it were

00:56:19.840 --> 00:56:20.400
 through his

00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:20.739
 son

00:56:20.739 --> 00:56:21.880
 and the

00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:22.279
 Lord is

00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:22.640
 using

00:56:22.640 --> 00:56:23.360
 Zechariah

00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:23.960
 the son

00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:24.660
 of Jehoiada

00:56:24.660 --> 00:56:25.960
 to speak

00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:26.280
 to the

00:56:26.280 --> 00:56:26.540
 people

00:56:26.540 --> 00:56:27.040
 to appeal

00:56:27.040 --> 00:56:27.340
 to them

00:56:27.340 --> 00:56:27.920
 why do

00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:28.440
 you break

00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:29.519
 the commandments

00:56:29.519 --> 00:56:29.900
 of the

00:56:29.900 --> 00:56:30.080
 Lord

00:56:30.080 --> 00:56:31.120
 so that

00:56:31.120 --> 00:56:31.700
 you cannot

00:56:31.700 --> 00:56:32.140
 prosper

00:56:32.140 --> 00:56:32.740
 because you

00:56:32.740 --> 00:56:33.400
 have forsaken

00:56:33.400 --> 00:56:33.880
 the Lord

00:56:33.880 --> 00:56:35.080
 he has

00:56:35.080 --> 00:56:35.700
 forsaken

00:56:35.700 --> 00:56:36.460
 you

00:56:36.460 --> 00:56:38.360
 this is not

00:56:38.360 --> 00:56:38.820
 a call

00:56:38.820 --> 00:56:40.460
 to vengeance

00:56:40.460 --> 00:56:42.380
 even though

00:56:42.380 --> 00:56:42.840
 it finishes

00:56:42.840 --> 00:56:43.160
 there

00:56:43.160 --> 00:56:43.460
 may the

00:56:43.460 --> 00:56:43.660
 Lord

00:56:43.660 --> 00:56:44.120
 see and

00:56:44.120 --> 00:56:44.800
 avenge

00:56:44.800 --> 00:56:45.940
 the words

00:56:45.940 --> 00:56:46.420
 there really

00:56:46.420 --> 00:56:47.000
 literally mean

00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:47.340
 may the

00:56:47.340 --> 00:56:47.620
 Lord

00:56:47.620 --> 00:56:48.720
 see and

00:56:48.720 --> 00:56:49.320
 seek

00:56:49.320 --> 00:56:50.440
 it doesn't

00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:50.860
 necessarily

00:56:50.860 --> 00:56:51.220
 mean

00:56:51.219 --> 00:56:51.939
 God's

00:56:51.939 --> 00:56:52.359
 vengeance

00:56:52.359 --> 00:56:53.039
 and judgment

00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:53.739
 brought upon

00:56:53.739 --> 00:56:53.959
 them

00:56:53.959 --> 00:56:54.819
 but may

00:56:54.819 --> 00:56:55.219
 the Lord

00:56:55.219 --> 00:56:55.739
 seek them

00:56:55.739 --> 00:56:56.059
 out

00:56:56.059 --> 00:56:57.079
 may the

00:56:57.079 --> 00:56:57.239
 Lord

00:56:57.239 --> 00:56:57.619
 seek them

00:56:57.619 --> 00:56:57.919
 to do

00:56:57.919 --> 00:56:58.319
 with them

00:56:58.319 --> 00:56:58.980
 as he

00:56:58.980 --> 00:56:59.639
 sees best

00:56:59.639 --> 00:57:00.799
 but obviously

00:57:00.799 --> 00:57:01.519
 burdened for

00:57:01.519 --> 00:57:02.259
 their return

00:57:02.259 --> 00:57:03.480
 as the Lord

00:57:03.480 --> 00:57:04.379
 himself is

00:57:04.380 --> 00:57:05.940
 and then

00:57:05.940 --> 00:57:06.340
 you find

00:57:06.340 --> 00:57:07.400
 the account

00:57:07.400 --> 00:57:07.840
 there of

00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:08.960
 the destruction

00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:09.619
 that came

00:57:09.619 --> 00:57:10.180
 upon them

00:57:10.180 --> 00:57:11.119
 the Syrians

00:57:11.119 --> 00:57:11.700
 came upon

00:57:11.700 --> 00:57:12.000
 them

00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:12.700
 all the

00:57:12.700 --> 00:57:13.000
 things that

00:57:13.000 --> 00:57:13.280
 happened

00:57:13.280 --> 00:57:13.519
 as you

00:57:13.519 --> 00:57:13.800
 read it

00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:14.059
 down

00:57:14.059 --> 00:57:14.740
 from that

00:57:14.740 --> 00:57:15.039
 point

00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:15.400
 onwards

00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:15.780
 in the

00:57:15.780 --> 00:57:16.160
 chapter

00:57:16.160 --> 00:57:17.820
 and then

00:57:17.820 --> 00:57:18.160
 you find

00:57:18.160 --> 00:57:18.579
 there in

00:57:18.579 --> 00:57:19.200
 verse 16

00:57:19.200 --> 00:57:21.140
 how the

00:57:21.140 --> 00:57:22.140
 burial of

00:57:22.140 --> 00:57:23.099
 Jehoiada

00:57:23.099 --> 00:57:24.760
 was amongst

00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:25.340
 the kings

00:57:25.340 --> 00:57:25.960
 of Israel

00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:27.160
 because he

00:57:27.160 --> 00:57:27.500
 had done

00:57:27.500 --> 00:57:27.920
 good in

00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:28.240
 Israel

00:57:28.240 --> 00:57:28.920
 and towards

00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:29.860
 God

00:57:29.860 --> 00:57:31.079
 and his

00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:31.599
 house

00:57:31.599 --> 00:57:32.960
 and what a

00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:33.640
 contrast that

00:57:33.640 --> 00:57:34.960
 is to

00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:36.180
 what you

00:57:36.180 --> 00:57:36.960
 find elsewhere

00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:38.180
 and the

00:57:38.180 --> 00:57:38.980
 burial and

00:57:38.980 --> 00:57:39.579
 the contrast

00:57:39.579 --> 00:57:41.160
 of others

00:57:41.160 --> 00:57:41.880
 before then

00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:43.039
 who were not

00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:43.620
 buried with

00:57:43.620 --> 00:57:44.280
 the kings

00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:45.340
 because they

00:57:45.340 --> 00:57:45.640
 had done

00:57:45.640 --> 00:57:46.340
 evil against

00:57:46.340 --> 00:57:46.880
 the Lord

00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:49.120
 even though

00:57:49.120 --> 00:57:49.360
 they had

00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:50.059
 been kings

00:57:50.059 --> 00:57:51.780
 so what is

00:57:51.780 --> 00:57:52.160
 this really

00:57:52.160 --> 00:57:52.780
 saying to us

00:57:52.780 --> 00:57:53.160
 if we can

00:57:53.160 --> 00:57:53.620
 conclude

00:57:53.620 --> 00:57:54.680
 briefly with

00:57:54.680 --> 00:57:55.000
 a word

00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:56.220
 about the

00:57:56.220 --> 00:57:56.960
 summary basically

00:57:56.960 --> 00:57:58.160
 of why do

00:57:58.160 --> 00:57:58.900
 we have all

00:57:58.900 --> 00:57:59.740
 these portraits

00:57:59.739 --> 00:58:01.479
 in this

00:58:01.479 --> 00:58:02.479
 gallery of

00:58:02.479 --> 00:58:03.179
 portraits of

00:58:03.179 --> 00:58:04.179
 kings that

00:58:04.179 --> 00:58:04.839
 you find in

00:58:04.839 --> 00:58:05.299
 the books of

00:58:05.299 --> 00:58:06.119
 the chronicles

00:58:06.119 --> 00:58:07.419
 what's the

00:58:07.419 --> 00:58:07.939
 reason for

00:58:07.939 --> 00:58:08.219
 this

00:58:08.219 --> 00:58:09.619
 how can we

00:58:09.619 --> 00:58:10.419
 actually use

00:58:10.419 --> 00:58:10.979
 the books of

00:58:10.979 --> 00:58:11.639
 the chronicles

00:58:11.639 --> 00:58:12.859
 tonight in

00:58:12.859 --> 00:58:13.239
 our own

00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:13.799
 situation

00:58:13.799 --> 00:58:14.399
 in your own

00:58:14.399 --> 00:58:14.779
 life

00:58:14.779 --> 00:58:15.519
 in our own

00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:15.779
 day

00:58:15.779 --> 00:58:16.259
 in our own

00:58:16.259 --> 00:58:17.019
 circumstances

00:58:17.019 --> 00:58:17.959
 well I like

00:58:17.959 --> 00:58:19.079
 to look at

00:58:19.079 --> 00:58:20.059
 the regard

00:58:20.059 --> 00:58:20.659
 the books of

00:58:20.659 --> 00:58:21.259
 the chronicles

00:58:21.259 --> 00:58:22.619
 as a gallery

00:58:22.619 --> 00:58:23.500
 of paintings

00:58:23.500 --> 00:58:25.579
 a gallery of

00:58:25.579 --> 00:58:26.139
 paintings of

00:58:26.139 --> 00:58:26.719
 these kings

00:58:26.719 --> 00:58:27.419
 because it's

00:58:27.419 --> 00:58:28.119
 largely taking

00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:28.479
 you through

00:58:28.479 --> 00:58:29.359
 the history

00:58:29.360 --> 00:58:31.740
 in a way

00:58:31.740 --> 00:58:33.039
 that specifies

00:58:33.039 --> 00:58:33.920
 the various

00:58:33.920 --> 00:58:34.620
 kings the

00:58:34.620 --> 00:58:34.960
 one that

00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:35.400
 followed on

00:58:35.400 --> 00:58:35.700
 from the

00:58:35.700 --> 00:58:36.160
 other all

00:58:36.160 --> 00:58:36.400
 the way

00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:37.420
 through right

00:58:37.420 --> 00:58:37.760
 through to

00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:38.260
 the end

00:58:38.260 --> 00:58:39.940
 when the

00:58:39.940 --> 00:58:40.340
 captivity

00:58:40.340 --> 00:58:41.500
 happened in

00:58:41.500 --> 00:58:42.900
 Judah in

00:58:42.900 --> 00:58:43.099
 Babylon

00:58:43.099 --> 00:58:44.339
 Babylon

00:58:44.339 --> 00:58:46.039
 why do you

00:58:46.039 --> 00:58:46.659
 have that

00:58:46.659 --> 00:58:47.860
 what is

00:58:47.860 --> 00:58:48.299
 there in

00:58:48.299 --> 00:58:48.900
 this gallery

00:58:48.900 --> 00:58:50.440
 well there's

00:58:50.440 --> 00:58:50.839
 one thing

00:58:50.839 --> 00:58:51.579
 that's missing

00:58:51.579 --> 00:58:53.360
 and I like

00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:53.860
 to think of

00:58:53.860 --> 00:58:54.659
 this as a

00:58:54.659 --> 00:58:55.259
 gallery of

00:58:55.259 --> 00:58:56.199
 pictures of

00:58:56.199 --> 00:58:57.000
 these kings

00:58:57.000 --> 00:58:58.420
 but there's

00:58:58.420 --> 00:58:59.019
 one at the

00:58:59.019 --> 00:58:59.699
 end of the

00:58:59.699 --> 00:59:00.139
 collection

00:59:00.139 --> 00:59:01.599
 that's blank

00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:03.500
 there's no

00:59:03.500 --> 00:59:04.119
 portrait in

00:59:04.119 --> 00:59:04.360
 it

00:59:04.360 --> 00:59:06.440
 why is that

00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:07.980
 because the

00:59:07.980 --> 00:59:08.920
 perfect king

00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:10.159
 is still

00:59:10.159 --> 00:59:11.480
 being awaited

00:59:11.480 --> 00:59:12.960
 the Messiah

00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:14.699
 is not yet

00:59:14.699 --> 00:59:15.320
 here as you

00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:15.740
 read these

00:59:15.740 --> 00:59:16.099
 verses

00:59:16.099 --> 00:59:18.699
 and the

00:59:18.699 --> 00:59:19.500
 perfect king

00:59:19.500 --> 00:59:20.219
 will come

00:59:20.219 --> 00:59:22.460
 and did

00:59:22.460 --> 00:59:22.880
 come

00:59:22.880 --> 00:59:24.639
 and was

00:59:24.639 --> 00:59:25.360
 revealed in

00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:25.740
 Jesus

00:59:25.740 --> 00:59:27.820
 who is the

00:59:27.820 --> 00:59:28.639
 king of kings

00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:28.940
 and the

00:59:28.940 --> 00:59:30.000
 lord of

00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:30.599
 lords

00:59:30.599 --> 00:59:32.799
 and the

00:59:32.799 --> 00:59:33.519
 last word

00:59:33.519 --> 00:59:34.739
 in the

00:59:34.739 --> 00:59:35.360
 scriptures of

00:59:35.360 --> 00:59:35.699
 the old

00:59:35.699 --> 00:59:36.139
 testament

00:59:36.139 --> 00:59:37.579
 I may have

00:59:37.579 --> 00:59:38.079
 mentioned this

00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:38.920
 on another

00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:39.420
 occasion

00:59:39.420 --> 00:59:40.719
 but 2nd

00:59:40.719 --> 00:59:41.239
 chronicles

00:59:41.239 --> 00:59:42.059
 if you have

00:59:42.059 --> 00:59:42.519
 a Hebrew

00:59:42.519 --> 00:59:43.039
 bible

00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:44.500
 Hebrew text

00:59:44.500 --> 00:59:45.119
 2nd

00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:45.639
 chronicles

00:59:45.639 --> 00:59:46.360
 is the

00:59:46.360 --> 00:59:47.279
 last book

00:59:47.279 --> 00:59:48.239
 in the

00:59:48.239 --> 00:59:48.500
 Hebrew

00:59:48.500 --> 00:59:48.920
 bible

00:59:48.920 --> 00:59:50.079
 and that's

00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:50.579
 interesting

00:59:50.579 --> 00:59:52.159
 because when

00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:52.480
 you read

00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:52.960
 the last

00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:53.980
 words of

00:59:53.980 --> 00:59:54.460
 2nd

00:59:54.460 --> 00:59:54.980
 chronicles

00:59:54.980 --> 00:59:55.799
 and think

00:59:55.799 --> 00:59:56.199
 of them

00:59:56.199 --> 00:59:56.679
 as the

00:59:56.679 --> 00:59:57.339
 very last

00:59:57.339 --> 00:59:57.839
 words of

00:59:57.839 --> 00:59:58.420
 the Hebrew

00:59:58.420 --> 01:00:00.199
 old testament

01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:00.659
 scriptures

01:00:00.659 --> 01:00:02.519
 it says

01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:02.960
 this

01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:05.259
 verse 23

01:00:05.259 --> 01:00:06.659
 thus says

01:00:06.659 --> 01:00:07.339
 Cyrus king

01:00:07.339 --> 01:00:07.859
 of Persia

01:00:07.859 --> 01:00:08.439
 the lord

01:00:08.439 --> 01:00:09.279
 the god

01:00:09.279 --> 01:00:09.699
 of heaven

01:00:09.699 --> 01:00:10.119
 has given

01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:10.500
 me all

01:00:10.500 --> 01:00:10.960
 the kingdoms

01:00:10.960 --> 01:00:11.299
 of the

01:00:11.299 --> 01:00:11.559
 earth

01:00:11.559 --> 01:00:12.319
 and he

01:00:12.319 --> 01:00:12.879
 has charged

01:00:12.879 --> 01:00:13.199
 me to

01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:13.539
 build him

01:00:13.539 --> 01:00:13.899
 a house

01:00:13.899 --> 01:00:14.480
 at Jerusalem

01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:15.439
 which is

01:00:15.439 --> 01:00:15.939
 in Judah

01:00:15.939 --> 01:00:17.639
 whoever is

01:00:17.639 --> 01:00:18.219
 among you

01:00:18.219 --> 01:00:19.480
 of all his

01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:19.899
 people

01:00:19.899 --> 01:00:21.319
 may the

01:00:21.319 --> 01:00:21.779
 lord his

01:00:21.779 --> 01:00:22.219
 god be

01:00:22.219 --> 01:00:22.719
 with him

01:00:22.719 --> 01:00:24.079
 let him

01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:25.159
 go up

01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:26.219
 now that was

01:00:26.219 --> 01:00:26.759
 spoken to

01:00:26.759 --> 01:00:27.199
 people still

01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:27.679
 in Babylon

01:00:27.679 --> 01:00:29.699
 by the

01:00:29.699 --> 01:00:29.980
 king

01:00:29.980 --> 01:00:31.019
 Cyrus of

01:00:31.019 --> 01:00:31.380
 Persia

01:00:31.380 --> 01:00:31.800
 to go

01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:32.000
 from

01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:32.920
 Babylonians

01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:34.740
 and opened

01:00:34.740 --> 01:00:35.019
 up the

01:00:35.019 --> 01:00:35.400
 way for

01:00:35.400 --> 01:00:35.880
 the Jews

01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:36.719
 to return

01:00:36.719 --> 01:00:37.300
 from

01:00:37.300 --> 01:00:37.740
 captivity

01:00:37.740 --> 01:00:38.820
 in Babylon

01:00:38.820 --> 01:00:40.659
 but think

01:00:40.659 --> 01:00:40.920
 of them

01:00:40.920 --> 01:00:41.480
 spiritually

01:00:41.480 --> 01:00:42.139
 here are

01:00:42.139 --> 01:00:42.559
 the last

01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:43.599
 words of

01:00:43.599 --> 01:00:44.079
 the old

01:00:44.079 --> 01:00:44.619
 testament

01:00:44.619 --> 01:00:45.099
 scriptures

01:00:45.099 --> 01:00:45.480
 in the

01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:45.800
 Hebrew

01:00:45.800 --> 01:00:46.860
 of the

01:00:46.860 --> 01:00:47.659
 text

01:00:47.659 --> 01:00:49.360
 and what's

01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:49.679
 the next

01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:50.019
 thing you

01:00:50.019 --> 01:00:50.380
 find

01:00:50.380 --> 01:00:51.300
 you find

01:00:51.300 --> 01:00:51.639
 the new

01:00:51.639 --> 01:00:52.079
 testament

01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:53.500
 and so

01:00:53.500 --> 01:00:53.740
 when you

01:00:53.740 --> 01:00:54.659
 find these

01:00:54.659 --> 01:00:55.500
 last words

01:00:55.500 --> 01:00:56.300
 let him

01:00:56.300 --> 01:00:56.920
 go up

01:00:56.920 --> 01:00:58.079
 it's really

01:00:58.079 --> 01:00:58.539
 in a sense

01:00:58.539 --> 01:00:59.240
 an anticipation

01:00:59.239 --> 01:01:00.479
 of that

01:01:00.479 --> 01:01:00.879
 king

01:01:00.879 --> 01:01:01.379
 that has

01:01:01.379 --> 01:01:02.019
 not arrived

01:01:02.019 --> 01:01:02.339
 by the

01:01:02.339 --> 01:01:02.639
 time

01:01:02.639 --> 01:01:03.019
 second

01:01:03.019 --> 01:01:03.459
 chronicles

01:01:03.459 --> 01:01:03.919
 closes

01:01:03.919 --> 01:01:06.019
 but came

01:01:06.019 --> 01:01:06.319
 to be

01:01:06.319 --> 01:01:06.939
 born in

01:01:06.939 --> 01:01:07.559
 Bethlehem

01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:08.659
 in the

01:01:08.659 --> 01:01:09.239
 city of

01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:09.739
 David

01:01:09.739 --> 01:01:11.099
 a savior

01:01:11.099 --> 01:01:11.579
 who is

01:01:11.579 --> 01:01:12.159
 Christ

01:01:12.159 --> 01:01:13.539
 the Lord

01:01:13.539 --> 01:01:16.279
 and tonight

01:01:16.279 --> 01:01:16.599
 this is

01:01:16.599 --> 01:01:16.919
 saying to

01:01:16.919 --> 01:01:17.199
 me

01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:18.259
 and it's

01:01:18.259 --> 01:01:18.559
 saying to

01:01:18.559 --> 01:01:18.939
 you

01:01:18.939 --> 01:01:21.179
 god is

01:01:21.179 --> 01:01:21.379
 saying

01:01:21.379 --> 01:01:22.419
 one reason

01:01:22.419 --> 01:01:22.879
 i've given

01:01:22.879 --> 01:01:23.159
 you

01:01:23.159 --> 01:01:23.819
 these

01:01:23.819 --> 01:01:24.159
 scriptures

01:01:24.159 --> 01:01:24.539
 in the

01:01:24.539 --> 01:01:24.879
 books of

01:01:24.879 --> 01:01:25.559
 chronicles

01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:26.880
 is that

01:01:26.880 --> 01:01:27.320
 you too

01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:27.739
 will go

01:01:27.739 --> 01:01:28.059
 up

01:01:28.059 --> 01:01:29.639
 that you

01:01:29.639 --> 01:01:29.820
 too

01:01:29.820 --> 01:01:30.679
 will examine

01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:31.380
 these kings

01:01:31.380 --> 01:01:31.940
 and say

01:01:31.940 --> 01:01:33.059
 now i

01:01:33.059 --> 01:01:33.739
 understand

01:01:33.739 --> 01:01:35.340
 why jesus

01:01:35.340 --> 01:01:35.779
 came

01:01:35.779 --> 01:01:36.840
 who jesus

01:01:36.840 --> 01:01:37.279
 is

01:01:37.279 --> 01:01:38.119
 why he

01:01:38.119 --> 01:01:38.940
 is perfect

01:01:38.940 --> 01:01:40.960
 why i need

01:01:40.960 --> 01:01:41.279
 him

01:01:41.279 --> 01:01:42.679
 and how i

01:01:42.679 --> 01:01:43.239
 must trust

01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:43.719
 in him

01:01:43.719 --> 01:01:46.239
 because i've

01:01:46.239 --> 01:01:47.019
 examined all

01:01:47.019 --> 01:01:47.659
 of these kings

01:01:47.659 --> 01:01:48.299
 you might say

01:01:48.299 --> 01:01:49.440
 and although

01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:49.820
 this is a

01:01:49.820 --> 01:01:50.320
 time of

01:01:50.320 --> 01:01:50.960
 preparation

01:01:50.960 --> 01:01:52.740
 obviously

01:01:52.740 --> 01:01:53.900
 the king

01:01:53.900 --> 01:01:54.360
 of kings

01:01:54.360 --> 01:01:54.800
 has not

01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:55.579
 yet arrived

01:01:55.579 --> 01:01:57.199
 but he

01:01:57.199 --> 01:01:57.760
 has now

01:01:57.760 --> 01:01:59.519
 so

01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:01.300
 go up

01:02:01.300 --> 01:02:01.820
 to him

01:02:01.820 --> 01:02:03.760
 ascend

01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:04.179
 to where

01:02:04.179 --> 01:02:04.559
 he is

01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:04.840
 in your

01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:05.280
 thoughts

01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:06.699
 in your

01:02:06.699 --> 01:02:07.220
 faith

01:02:07.220 --> 01:02:08.539
 in your

01:02:08.539 --> 01:02:09.119
 lifestyle

01:02:09.119 --> 01:02:11.579
 because that's

01:02:11.579 --> 01:02:11.960
 really what

01:02:11.960 --> 01:02:12.260
 this is

01:02:12.260 --> 01:02:12.639
 saying to

01:02:12.639 --> 01:02:13.000
 us

01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:14.500
 and if

01:02:14.500 --> 01:02:14.800
 you do

01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:15.300
 that you

01:02:15.300 --> 01:02:15.960
 arrive

01:02:15.960 --> 01:02:17.579
 at jesus

01:02:17.579 --> 01:02:19.019
 and when

01:02:19.019 --> 01:02:19.539
 you arrive

01:02:19.539 --> 01:02:20.159
 at jesus

01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:20.980
 you realize

01:02:20.980 --> 01:02:22.519
 that's what

01:02:22.519 --> 01:02:23.219
 this whole

01:02:23.219 --> 01:02:23.859
 bible is

01:02:23.859 --> 01:02:24.279
 intended

01:02:24.279 --> 01:02:25.119
 to bring

01:02:25.119 --> 01:02:25.599
 me to

01:02:25.599 --> 01:02:27.399
 to trust

01:02:27.399 --> 01:02:28.879
 in the

01:02:28.879 --> 01:02:29.199
 savior

01:02:29.199 --> 01:02:31.000
 for myself

01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:32.619
 let's pray

01:02:32.619 --> 01:02:36.319
 lord our

01:02:36.319 --> 01:02:36.659
 god

01:02:36.659 --> 01:02:37.960
 we thank

01:02:37.960 --> 01:02:38.219
 you for

01:02:38.219 --> 01:02:38.440
 these

01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:38.839
 scriptures

01:02:38.839 --> 01:02:40.659
 for the

01:02:40.659 --> 01:02:41.079
 way that

01:02:41.079 --> 01:02:41.539
 we find

01:02:41.539 --> 01:02:42.659
 them so

01:02:42.659 --> 01:02:43.059
 meaningful

01:02:43.059 --> 01:02:43.719
 in relation

01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:44.899
 to the

01:02:44.899 --> 01:02:45.359
 coming of

01:02:45.359 --> 01:02:46.000
 the messiah

01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:47.500
 the king

01:02:47.500 --> 01:02:47.879
 who is

01:02:47.879 --> 01:02:48.299
 himself

01:02:48.299 --> 01:02:48.920
 perfect

01:02:48.920 --> 01:02:50.220
 in contrast

01:02:50.220 --> 01:02:50.700
 to all

01:02:50.700 --> 01:02:51.099
 who came

01:02:51.099 --> 01:02:51.700
 before him

01:02:51.700 --> 01:02:52.780
 and all

01:02:52.780 --> 01:02:53.420
 who succeeded

01:02:53.420 --> 01:02:54.059
 him also

01:02:54.059 --> 01:02:55.480
 and we

01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:55.840
 thank you

01:02:55.840 --> 01:02:56.119
 that he

01:02:56.119 --> 01:02:57.099
 came into

01:02:57.099 --> 01:02:57.639
 this world

01:02:57.639 --> 01:02:58.800
 not in

01:02:58.800 --> 01:02:59.380
 the splendor

01:02:59.380 --> 01:02:59.960
 of kingly

01:02:59.960 --> 01:03:00.480
 majesty

01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:02.180
 but dressed

01:03:02.180 --> 01:03:02.559
 as a

01:03:02.559 --> 01:03:02.900
 servant

01:03:02.900 --> 01:03:04.340
 and came

01:03:04.340 --> 01:03:04.720
 to give

01:03:04.720 --> 01:03:05.220
 his life

01:03:05.220 --> 01:03:05.740
 a ransom

01:03:05.740 --> 01:03:06.420
 for many

01:03:06.420 --> 01:03:07.700
 and that

01:03:07.700 --> 01:03:08.019
 he came

01:03:08.019 --> 01:03:08.980
 to fulfill

01:03:08.980 --> 01:03:10.380
 those things

01:03:10.380 --> 01:03:10.740
 that were

01:03:10.740 --> 01:03:11.460
 predicted of

01:03:11.460 --> 01:03:11.800
 him over

01:03:11.800 --> 01:03:12.599
 many centuries

01:03:12.599 --> 01:03:14.000
 that he

01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:14.179
 would

01:03:14.179 --> 01:03:14.500
 indeed

01:03:14.500 --> 01:03:14.799
 come

01:03:14.799 --> 01:03:15.400
 to be

01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:16.239
 the

01:03:16.239 --> 01:03:16.940
 sacrifice

01:03:16.940 --> 01:03:17.839
 that

01:03:17.839 --> 01:03:17.980
 would

01:03:17.980 --> 01:03:18.279
 forever

01:03:18.279 --> 01:03:18.599
 deal

01:03:18.599 --> 01:03:18.799
 with

01:03:18.799 --> 01:03:19.159
 sin

01:03:19.159 --> 01:03:20.880

 has come

01:03:25.139 --> 01:03:26.000
