00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.980
 We'll begin our worship just now by singing to God's praise.

00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:06.240
 We're going to sing in Psalm 46 in the Scottish Psalter.

00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:10.700

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.280

00:00:14.419 --> 00:00:14.320
!

00:00:14.419 --> 00:00:18.199
 God is our refuge and our strength in straits of present day.

00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:21.280
 Therefore, although the earth we move, we will not be afraid.

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.980
 Though hills amidst the seas be cast, the waters roaring make.

00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:29.280
 And trouble be, yea, though the hills by swelling seas do shake.

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.140
 We sing from verse 1 to 7.

00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.280
 To God's praise we stand to sing.

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:34.280
 Amen.

00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.200
 Seas to shake

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.200
 A river

00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.680


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.200
 held for fear.

00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:20.319
 The Lord of hosts upon her side

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:26.620
 doth constantly remain.

00:03:27.140 --> 00:03:34.960
 The God of Jehovah's refuge

00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:41.460
 are safely to maintain.

00:03:48.060 --> 00:03:49.819
 Let's bow heads in a word of prayer.

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:50.520
 Let us pray.

00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:53.740
 Our Father in heaven,

00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.439
 we gather in your name today.

00:03:55.540 --> 00:03:58.060
 We're thankful for the joy of worship,

00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.680
 thankful to be able to gather as your people,

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:02.379
 to gather around your word,

00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:04.219
 to hear what you have to say to us.

00:04:04.219 --> 00:04:07.379
 And thankful that your word is fresh and new each day.

00:04:07.859 --> 00:04:11.139
 We may have read the many passages that we find in it

00:04:11.139 --> 00:04:12.979
 many times in the past.

00:04:13.099 --> 00:04:15.219
 We may hear things that we've heard before,

00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.480
 but yet we thank you that you are one

00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.459
 who speaks to us anew each day.

00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.680
 And we pray that we would know that today,

00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:26.199
 that we would know your word being blessed to us,

00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.699
 reminding us of even these words that we have sung,

00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.939
 that you are a refuge and a strength to your people,

00:04:32.939 --> 00:04:37.100
 that you are one who remains constantly upon our side.

00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:40.439
 And we thank you for all these promises that we have.

00:04:41.060 --> 00:04:41.920
 And we pray, Lord,

00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:43.860
 that together we would know that today,

00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:45.519
 young and old alike.

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.000
 We thank you for all the young people here today

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.339
 going out to Sunday school and creche and tweenies

00:04:52.339 --> 00:04:53.300
 and Bible class.

00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:55.159
 We do pray a blessing on them

00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:56.660
 and upon all the teachers too.

00:04:56.820 --> 00:05:00.200
 Thankful for that hunger to learn,

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:02.520
 that hunger to know more of you.

00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:03.880
 We pray, Lord,

00:05:03.939 --> 00:05:07.000
 and thank you for the way that you work in our midst,

00:05:07.340 --> 00:05:10.680
 not just among your people as Christians,

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:14.340
 but among those who are not yet maybe professing it,

00:05:14.339 --> 00:05:14.739
 but, Lord,

00:05:14.819 --> 00:05:16.060
 seeking you with their heart.

00:05:16.119 --> 00:05:18.599
 And we pray that young and old together,

00:05:18.599 --> 00:05:21.919
 we would know that calling of your word to us,

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.259
 to come and follow you.

00:05:23.659 --> 00:05:26.039
 May that continue to speak to us this day

00:05:26.039 --> 00:05:27.239
 and in all the days ahead,

00:05:27.379 --> 00:05:29.879
 thankful for Jesus who calls us,

00:05:29.979 --> 00:05:32.000
 the one who knows us by name.

00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:33.199
 And so, Lord,

00:05:33.299 --> 00:05:34.099
 bless us together.

00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.759
 Watch over us in our homes and in our families.

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.059
 Watch over us throughout the week ahead in school.

00:05:40.060 --> 00:05:42.000
 And in all that we do, Lord,

00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:44.180
 may we know blessing and protection.

00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.459
 May we know your goodness and mercy following us.

00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.980
 We pray for all the activities of the young ones

00:05:49.980 --> 00:05:51.459
 throughout the week as well.

00:05:52.220 --> 00:05:53.620
 We pray for the explorers,

00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.120
 thankful for all who go there,

00:05:55.819 --> 00:05:57.699
 both the young and the old alike.

00:05:57.840 --> 00:05:59.120
 And we pray, Lord,

00:05:59.180 --> 00:06:01.019
 that you would bless these activities

00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:02.620
 and those who help in it

00:06:02.620 --> 00:06:05.340
 and encourage others perhaps to help with it as well,

00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:05.519
 Lord,

00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:06.720
 as we seek helpers

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.240
 throughout all the activities of the church.

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:10.280
 May you lay burdens

00:06:10.280 --> 00:06:12.360
 on all of our hearts for that.

00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:13.139
 So, Lord,

00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:13.780
 bless us now.

00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:14.759
 Continue with us

00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.540
 and pardon us in all our sin.

00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:17.439
 That's all we ask.

00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:18.960
 We ask in Jesus' name.

00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:19.819
 Amen.

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.100
 Just a word to the young ones

00:06:24.100 --> 00:06:24.939
 before you go out.

00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:26.019
 Today we're going to be,

00:06:26.379 --> 00:06:27.000
 in the service,

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.460
 we're going to be looking at a passage

00:06:28.460 --> 00:06:30.180
 that is probably familiar

00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:31.980
 to many people in here today.

00:06:32.579 --> 00:06:34.300
 And it's Jesus speaking

00:06:34.300 --> 00:06:36.079
 about building our house

00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.139
 and two different places

00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:39.579
 that we can build our house.

00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:41.079
 Do you know what it is?

00:06:41.479 --> 00:06:43.359
 One place we build our house upon

00:06:43.359 --> 00:06:45.180
 is sand.

00:06:46.180 --> 00:06:47.060
 And then the other place

00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:47.939
 we build our house upon

00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:49.019
 is rock.

00:06:49.719 --> 00:06:51.300
 And when a storm comes,

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:52.459
 only one of these houses

00:06:52.459 --> 00:06:54.539
 will stand up to that storm.

00:06:54.860 --> 00:06:55.779
 And it's a house

00:06:55.779 --> 00:06:58.039
 that's built on the rock.

00:06:58.839 --> 00:06:59.279
 Now,

00:06:59.479 --> 00:07:01.899
 who enjoys going to the beach?

00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:03.000
 Hands up if you enjoy

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:03.819
 going to the beach.

00:07:03.819 --> 00:07:04.899
 Yeah,

00:07:04.980 --> 00:07:05.719
 there's a few people.

00:07:06.259 --> 00:07:07.279
 All enjoy going to the beach.

00:07:07.339 --> 00:07:08.540
 Would you go to the beach today, though?

00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.740
 It's a bit wet and windy

00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:11.480
 and wild today

00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:12.159
 to go to the beach.

00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:13.519
 But we look forward

00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.120
 to the summer coming

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.199
 and days when we can go

00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:16.759
 to the beach.

00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:17.600
 And one of the things

00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:19.060
 we love to do on the beach

00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:20.920
 is build sandcastles.

00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:22.860
 And I'm sure you've all got

00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:24.240
 maybe a favourite beach,

00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:25.819
 somewhere you like to go,

00:07:25.860 --> 00:07:26.899
 a special beach.

00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:28.839
 And you can think of

00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:29.980
 all the different beaches

00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:30.980
 around our island.

00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:32.199
 There's so many of them.

00:07:32.259 --> 00:07:33.759
 We're spoilt for choice.

00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:35.899
 Number one on the list

00:07:35.899 --> 00:07:37.459
 of Korsha's favourite beaches

00:07:37.459 --> 00:07:38.740
 is Shawbo's Beach.

00:07:39.180 --> 00:07:40.579
 That's where everybody

00:07:40.579 --> 00:07:41.560
 wants to go.

00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:43.399
 I can understand why.

00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:44.040
 And then there's places

00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:44.939
 like Luskentide

00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:45.480
 and other ones

00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.019
 a close second.

00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:48.980
 There's lots of different beaches

00:07:48.980 --> 00:07:50.560
 that people like to go to.

00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:52.879
 And building sandcastles

00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:53.839
 can be great fun.

00:07:53.899 --> 00:07:54.439
 But you know,

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:55.620
 when you're building

00:07:55.620 --> 00:07:56.800
 sandcastles on the beach,

00:07:56.899 --> 00:07:57.980
 something's going to happen.

00:07:58.100 --> 00:07:59.560
 The tide's going to come in

00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.699
 and take the sandcastle away

00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:02.079
 eventually.

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.139
 But it's all part of the fun.

00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:06.699
 But there's a serious side

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:08.019
 to the beach as well.

00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:08.480
 Now,

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:10.139
 a lot of beaches,

00:08:10.139 --> 00:08:11.339
 you can see the tide

00:08:11.339 --> 00:08:12.160
 coming in and out.

00:08:12.220 --> 00:08:13.780
 But there's a lot of beaches too

00:08:13.780 --> 00:08:15.560
 where if the tide has gone out,

00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:17.279
 you can't even tell where it is.

00:08:17.300 --> 00:08:19.420
 It's gone so far out.

00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:21.800
 And if people aren't familiar,

00:08:22.420 --> 00:08:23.819
 they can make a mistake.

00:08:24.420 --> 00:08:25.319
 And you think of people

00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:26.800
 who come visiting the island

00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.540
 and they very often have tents.

00:08:30.500 --> 00:08:30.939
 Now,

00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:32.120
 when the tide's out,

00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:32.759
 they might think,

00:08:32.899 --> 00:08:34.420
 there's a lovely spot

00:08:34.420 --> 00:08:35.940
 to put the tent up.

00:08:36.460 --> 00:08:37.879
 And you're thinking to yourself,

00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:38.800
 they shouldn't.

00:08:39.420 --> 00:08:41.300
 Because when the tide comes in,

00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:42.440
 it's going to come in

00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.100
 and cover that tent.

00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:45.360
 So,

00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:46.720
 the question is,

00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:48.879
 what do you do?

00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.399
 Do you just let them

00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:52.759
 put their tent up

00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.379
 and start laughing

00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:56.439
 because the tide's going to come in

00:08:56.439 --> 00:08:57.360
 and they're going to get wet?

00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.120
 Or do you think to yourself,

00:08:59.279 --> 00:08:59.419
 no,

00:08:59.459 --> 00:09:00.639
 I should go and tell them

00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.319
 that the tide is going to come in

00:09:02.319 --> 00:09:03.579
 and cover that tent.

00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.459
 It's going to be dangerous for them.

00:09:05.899 --> 00:09:06.779
 We should tell them,

00:09:06.839 --> 00:09:07.240
 shouldn't we?

00:09:07.979 --> 00:09:08.199
 Well,

00:09:08.219 --> 00:09:10.299
 that's really what Jesus is doing here.

00:09:10.839 --> 00:09:11.839
 He's telling us

00:09:11.839 --> 00:09:13.120
 what's important.

00:09:13.779 --> 00:09:14.579
 He's telling us

00:09:14.579 --> 00:09:16.240
 how we are to live our lives

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:17.860
 and what's dangerous for us.

00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:19.139
 And he's speaking about this

00:09:19.139 --> 00:09:20.759
 house built upon the rock

00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.720
 and the house built upon the sand

00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.080
 because he's warning us

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:24.899
 because he knows

00:09:24.899 --> 00:09:26.500
 the danger that we're in.

00:09:27.019 --> 00:09:28.120
 That if we build our house

00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:28.740
 on the sand,

00:09:28.779 --> 00:09:29.980
 which is really trusting

00:09:29.980 --> 00:09:31.220
 in everything else

00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:32.299
 apart from God,

00:09:32.419 --> 00:09:33.360
 apart from Jesus,

00:09:33.939 --> 00:09:34.639
 that our house

00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.379
 is just going to come crashing down.

00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:38.759
 But if we build our house

00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:40.500
 on the rock that is Jesus,

00:09:40.500 --> 00:09:42.000
 we are going to be secure.

00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:43.939
 So even on a day like this

00:09:43.939 --> 00:09:44.700
 when it's wet

00:09:44.700 --> 00:09:45.240
 and windy

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:45.800
 and wild,

00:09:45.900 --> 00:09:46.960
 that's what Jesus speaks

00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:47.259
 about,

00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:48.240
 the flood

00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:49.020
 and the storm

00:09:49.020 --> 00:09:49.640
 that comes.

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:50.960
 The house that's built

00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:51.580
 on the rock

00:09:51.580 --> 00:09:52.320
 stands

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.580
 because it's secure

00:09:54.580 --> 00:09:56.020
 in Jesus.

00:09:57.300 --> 00:09:58.500
 So he warns us.

00:09:58.540 --> 00:09:59.180
 That's what we should do

00:09:59.180 --> 00:10:00.000
 if we see somebody

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.200
 putting up a tent

00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:01.660
 on the beach

00:10:01.660 --> 00:10:03.000
 knowing the tide's

00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:03.540
 going to come in

00:10:03.540 --> 00:10:04.400
 and wash it away.

00:10:04.640 --> 00:10:05.520
 We should warn them.

00:10:05.540 --> 00:10:07.100
 And that's what Jesus does here.

00:10:07.640 --> 00:10:08.879
 He warns us

00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:10.540
 not to build our house

00:10:10.540 --> 00:10:11.520
 in the wrong place,

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.179
 but to build our house,

00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:14.220
 build our lives

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:15.639
 on Jesus

00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.259
 and to trust

00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:18.340
 in him.

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:19.600
 So that's what we're going

00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:20.259
 to be thinking about

00:10:20.259 --> 00:10:20.840
 in the service

00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:21.519
 a little more

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:23.179
 today as we go on.

00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:24.240
 Standing firm

00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:25.779
 in Jesus.

00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:27.799
 Will we say the Lord's Prayer

00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:28.899
 together now together?

00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:31.439
 Our Father,

00:10:31.579 --> 00:10:32.639
 which art in heaven,

00:10:33.079 --> 00:10:34.559
 hallowed be thy name.

00:10:35.079 --> 00:10:36.319
 Thy kingdom come.

00:10:36.819 --> 00:10:38.220
 Thy will be done on earth

00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:39.639
 as it is in heaven.

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.399
 Give us this day

00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:42.439
 our daily bread

00:10:42.439 --> 00:10:43.779
 and forgive us

00:10:43.779 --> 00:10:44.500
 our debts

00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:45.720
 as we forgive

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:46.720
 our debtors.

00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:48.100
 And lead us not

00:10:48.100 --> 00:10:49.039
 into temptation,

00:10:49.659 --> 00:10:50.519
 but deliver us

00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:51.199
 from evil.

00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:52.860
 For thine is the kingdom,

00:10:53.299 --> 00:10:53.860
 the power,

00:10:54.079 --> 00:10:54.699
 and the glory

00:10:54.699 --> 00:10:55.299
 forever.

00:10:55.860 --> 00:10:56.340
 Amen.

00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:00.459
 Well, let's sing again

00:11:00.459 --> 00:11:01.159
 to God's praise.

00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:01.799
 This time we're singing

00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.220
 in Psalm 37

00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:06.220
 in the Scottish Psalter

00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:06.919
 once again.

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.299
 Page 252.

00:11:09.299 --> 00:11:12.679
 Psalm 37.

00:11:13.339 --> 00:11:15.000
 We sing from verse 1

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.439
 to verse 6.

00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:17.519
 For evildoers,

00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:18.479
 fret thou not

00:11:18.479 --> 00:11:20.459
 thyself unquietly,

00:11:20.899 --> 00:11:21.819
 nor do thou envy

00:11:21.819 --> 00:11:22.759
 bear to those

00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:24.039
 that work iniquity.

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:25.199
 For even like

00:11:25.199 --> 00:11:25.979
 unto the grass

00:11:25.979 --> 00:11:27.039
 soon be cut down

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:27.599
 shall they,

00:11:28.259 --> 00:11:29.219
 and like the green

00:11:29.219 --> 00:11:30.319
 and tender herb

00:11:30.319 --> 00:11:31.259
 they wither

00:11:31.259 --> 00:11:32.419
 shall away.

00:11:32.500 --> 00:11:33.000
 We'll sing from

00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:33.579
 verse 1

00:11:33.579 --> 00:11:34.599
 to verse 6

00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:35.820
 to God's praise.

00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:36.259
 Amen.

00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:36.700
 Amen.

00:11:36.700 --> 00:11:37.019
 Amen.

00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.019


00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.019


00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.019


00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.019


00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.019


00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.019


00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.019


00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:38.019
 Amen.

00:11:38.019 --> 00:11:39.019
 Amen.

00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:39.019


00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:40.019
 Amen.

00:11:40.019 --> 00:11:43.300
 For evildoers,

00:11:43.340 --> 00:11:45.840
 fret now not

00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:51.899
 thyself unquietly,

00:11:51.899 --> 00:11:56.080
 nor do thou envy

00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.200
 bear to those

00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:04.580
 that work iniquity.

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:09.560
 for even like

00:12:09.560 --> 00:12:12.879
 unto the grass

00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.759
 soon be cut down

00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.379
 shall they,

00:12:18.379 --> 00:12:23.240
 and like the green

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.320
 and tender herb

00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.140
 they wither

00:12:29.140 --> 00:12:31.480
 shall away.

00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:36.860
 set thou thy trust

00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:40.120
 upon the Lord,

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:46.120
 and be thou doing good,

00:12:46.659 --> 00:12:50.960
 and so thou in the land

00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.279
 shall dwell,

00:12:53.659 --> 00:12:59.180
 and verily have food.

00:12:59.179 --> 00:13:05.479
 delight thyself in God,

00:13:05.479 --> 00:13:06.879
 he'll give,

00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.099
 thine heart's desire

00:13:10.099 --> 00:13:12.839
 to thee.

00:13:12.839 --> 00:13:16.959
 Thy way to God

00:13:16.959 --> 00:13:20.239
 commit him trust,

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.099
 it bring to pass

00:13:24.099 --> 00:13:25.819
 shall he.

00:13:25.820 --> 00:13:32.520
 and like unto the light

00:13:32.520 --> 00:13:37.060
 he shall thy righteousness

00:13:37.060 --> 00:13:39.120
 display,

00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:44.400
 and he thy judgment

00:13:44.400 --> 00:13:47.420
 shall bring forth

00:13:47.420 --> 00:13:53.120
 like noontide of the day.

00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:53.560
 Amen.

00:13:58.299 --> 00:13:59.899
 I will turn to read

00:13:59.899 --> 00:14:01.259
 in the gospel of Luke,

00:14:01.379 --> 00:14:02.419
 chapter 6.

00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.139
 Luke chapter 6,

00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:09.879
 reading from verse 17.

00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.500
 You'll find it around page 1039

00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:14.519
 of the Bibles,

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.480
 if you have the church Bible.

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:21.420
 Luke chapter 6,

00:14:21.899 --> 00:14:23.519
 reading at verse 17.

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:25.779
 We notice here

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:27.259
 that in the previous section,

00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:28.639
 verse 12 to 16,

00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:29.800
 Jesus had been away

00:14:29.800 --> 00:14:31.440
 up the mountain praying,

00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:32.220
 and he's come down

00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:34.039
 from that time of prayer

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:35.180
 to his disciples,

00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:36.480
 calling his disciples

00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.220
 to follow him.

00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:39.879
 And then as we pick up

00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.180
 our reading in verse 17,

00:14:41.779 --> 00:14:43.259
 he is here preaching

00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:45.360
 to a large crowd.

00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:47.879
 And he came down with them

00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:49.580
 and stood on a level place

00:14:49.580 --> 00:14:50.720
 with a great crowd

00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:51.360
 of his disciples

00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:53.100
 and a great multitude

00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:53.820
 of people

00:14:53.820 --> 00:14:55.200
 from all Judea

00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:55.800
 and Jerusalem

00:14:55.800 --> 00:14:58.360
 and the sea coast

00:14:58.360 --> 00:14:59.639
 of Tyre and Sidon,

00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:01.320
 who came to hear him

00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:02.320
 and to be healed

00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:03.240
 of their diseases.

00:15:04.100 --> 00:15:05.379
 And those who were troubled

00:15:05.379 --> 00:15:06.800
 with unclean spirits

00:15:06.800 --> 00:15:07.700
 were cured.

00:15:08.539 --> 00:15:09.379
 And all the crowd

00:15:09.379 --> 00:15:10.879
 sought to touch him,

00:15:11.259 --> 00:15:13.060
 for power came out from him

00:15:13.060 --> 00:15:14.080
 and healed them all.

00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.820
 And he lifted up his eyes

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:17.759
 on his disciples

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:18.440
 and said,

00:15:19.160 --> 00:15:19.960
 Blessed are you

00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:21.340
 who are poor,

00:15:21.660 --> 00:15:23.180
 for yours is the kingdom

00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:24.060
 of God.

00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:25.540
 Blessed are you

00:15:25.540 --> 00:15:27.080
 who are hungry now,

00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:28.639
 for you shall be satisfied.

00:15:29.520 --> 00:15:30.300
 Blessed are you

00:15:30.300 --> 00:15:31.040
 who weep now,

00:15:31.180 --> 00:15:32.120
 for you shall laugh.

00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:33.700
 Blessed are you

00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:34.820
 when people hate you

00:15:34.820 --> 00:15:36.300
 and when they exclude you

00:15:36.300 --> 00:15:37.639
 and revile you

00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.400
 and spurn your name

00:15:39.400 --> 00:15:40.020
 as evil

00:15:40.020 --> 00:15:41.960
 on account of the Son of Man.

00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:44.200
 rejoice in that day

00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:45.379
 and leap for joy,

00:15:45.800 --> 00:15:46.500
 for behold,

00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:47.840
 your reward is great

00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:48.320
 in heaven,

00:15:48.980 --> 00:15:50.540
 for so their fathers

00:15:50.540 --> 00:15:52.000
 did to the prophets.

00:15:52.940 --> 00:15:54.019
 But woe to those

00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:54.620
 who are rich,

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:56.120
 for you have received

00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.320
 your consolation.

00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:58.540
 Woe to you

00:15:58.540 --> 00:15:59.600
 who are full now,

00:15:59.980 --> 00:16:01.160
 for you shall be hungry.

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.500
 Woe to you

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:03.300
 who laugh now,

00:16:03.700 --> 00:16:04.600
 for you shall mourn

00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:05.080
 and weep.

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:06.460
 Woe to you

00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:07.680
 when all people

00:16:07.680 --> 00:16:08.920
 speak well of you,

00:16:09.160 --> 00:16:10.300
 for so their fathers

00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:12.000
 did to the false prophets.

00:16:12.899 --> 00:16:14.059
 But I say to you

00:16:14.059 --> 00:16:14.639
 who hear,

00:16:15.139 --> 00:16:16.099
 love your enemies,

00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:17.419
 do good to those

00:16:17.419 --> 00:16:18.079
 who hate you,

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:19.399
 bless those

00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:20.199
 who curse you,

00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:21.500
 pray for those

00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:22.379
 who abuse you.

00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:23.439
 To one

00:16:23.439 --> 00:16:25.359
 who strikes you

00:16:25.359 --> 00:16:26.059
 on the cheek,

00:16:26.199 --> 00:16:27.279
 offer the other also.

00:16:27.859 --> 00:16:28.419
 And from one

00:16:28.419 --> 00:16:29.199
 who takes away

00:16:29.199 --> 00:16:29.939
 your cloak,

00:16:30.199 --> 00:16:31.019
 do not withhold

00:16:31.019 --> 00:16:32.240
 your tunic either.

00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:33.759
 Give to everyone

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.759
 who begs from you

00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:35.740
 and from one

00:16:35.740 --> 00:16:36.659
 who takes away

00:16:36.659 --> 00:16:37.259
 your goods,

00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:39.159
 do not demand them back.

00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:40.639
 And as you wish

00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.179
 that others

00:16:41.179 --> 00:16:42.059
 would do to you,

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:43.459
 do so to them.

00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:45.019
 If you love

00:16:45.019 --> 00:16:45.919
 those who love you,

00:16:46.259 --> 00:16:46.939
 what benefit

00:16:46.939 --> 00:16:47.980
 is that to you?

00:16:48.299 --> 00:16:49.219
 For even sinners

00:16:49.219 --> 00:16:50.019
 love those

00:16:50.019 --> 00:16:50.620
 who love them.

00:16:51.299 --> 00:16:52.259
 And if you do good

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:53.120
 to those

00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:54.000
 who do good to you,

00:16:54.079 --> 00:16:54.740
 what benefit

00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:56.019
 is that to you?

00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:57.419
 For even sinners

00:16:57.419 --> 00:16:58.299
 do the same.

00:16:59.079 --> 00:16:59.860
 And if you lend

00:16:59.860 --> 00:17:00.459
 to those

00:17:00.459 --> 00:17:01.459
 from whom you expect

00:17:01.459 --> 00:17:02.219
 to receive,

00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:03.319
 what credit

00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:04.379
 is that to you?

00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:05.740
 Even sinners

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:06.700
 lend to sinners

00:17:06.700 --> 00:17:07.640
 to get back

00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:08.460
 the same amount.

00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:10.480
 But love your enemies

00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:11.620
 and do good

00:17:11.620 --> 00:17:12.600
 and lend

00:17:12.600 --> 00:17:13.660
 expecting nothing

00:17:13.660 --> 00:17:14.380
 in return.

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:15.620
 And your reward

00:17:15.620 --> 00:17:16.319
 will be great

00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:17.480
 and you will be

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:18.840
 sons of the Most High

00:17:18.840 --> 00:17:20.380
 for he is kind

00:17:20.380 --> 00:17:21.259
 to the ungrateful

00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:22.000
 and the evil.

00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:23.299
 Be merciful

00:17:23.299 --> 00:17:24.600
 even as your Father

00:17:24.600 --> 00:17:25.720
 is merciful.

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:27.140
 Judge not

00:17:27.140 --> 00:17:27.720
 and you will not

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:28.299
 be judged.

00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:29.580
 Condemn not

00:17:29.580 --> 00:17:30.200
 and you will not

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:30.840
 be condemned.

00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:31.700
 Forgive

00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:32.880
 and you will be forgiven.

00:17:33.380 --> 00:17:33.740
 Give

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:34.259
 and it will be

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:35.000
 given to you.

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:36.279
 Good measure

00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:37.180
 pressed down,

00:17:37.619 --> 00:17:38.380
 shaken together,

00:17:38.539 --> 00:17:39.200
 running over,

00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:40.200
 will be put

00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:41.819
 into your lap.

00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:43.539
 For with the measure

00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:44.519
 you use

00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:45.660
 it will be measured

00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:46.700
 back to you.

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:48.519
 He also told them

00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:49.079
 a parable.

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:50.819
 Can a blind man

00:17:50.819 --> 00:17:52.099
 lead a blind man?

00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:53.460
 Will they not both

00:17:53.460 --> 00:17:54.619
 fall into a pit?

00:17:55.339 --> 00:17:55.980
 A disciple

00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:56.900
 is not above

00:17:56.900 --> 00:17:57.680
 his teacher

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.759
 but everyone

00:17:58.759 --> 00:17:59.640
 when he is fully

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:00.559
 trained

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:02.279
 will be like

00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:02.920
 his teacher.

00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.240
 Why do you

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.060
 see the speck

00:18:05.060 --> 00:18:05.480
 that is in

00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:06.420
 your brother's eye

00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:07.400
 but do not

00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:08.380
 notice the log

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:08.900
 that is in

00:18:08.900 --> 00:18:09.560
 your own eye?

00:18:10.300 --> 00:18:10.880
 How can you

00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:11.460
 say to your

00:18:11.460 --> 00:18:11.740
 brother,

00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:12.500
 Brother,

00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:13.340
 let me take

00:18:13.340 --> 00:18:14.140
 out the speck

00:18:14.140 --> 00:18:14.640
 that is in

00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:15.100
 your eye

00:18:15.100 --> 00:18:16.120
 when you

00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:16.720
 yourself

00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:17.100
 do not

00:18:17.100 --> 00:18:17.840
 see the log

00:18:17.840 --> 00:18:18.440
 that is in

00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:19.200
 your own eye?

00:18:19.860 --> 00:18:20.560
 You hypocrite,

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:21.860
 first take the

00:18:21.860 --> 00:18:22.400
 log out of

00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:22.900
 your own eye

00:18:22.900 --> 00:18:23.320
 and then

00:18:23.320 --> 00:18:24.420
 you will see

00:18:24.420 --> 00:18:25.120
 clearly to

00:18:25.120 --> 00:18:25.560
 take out

00:18:25.560 --> 00:18:26.240
 the speck

00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:26.680
 that is in

00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:27.320
 your brother's

00:18:27.320 --> 00:18:27.580
 eye.

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:29.200
 For no good

00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:29.920
 three bears

00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:30.720
 bad fruit,

00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:31.660
 nor again

00:18:31.660 --> 00:18:32.300
 does a bad

00:18:32.300 --> 00:18:32.900
 tree bear

00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:33.660
 good fruit

00:18:33.660 --> 00:18:34.519
 for each

00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:34.980
 tree is

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:35.500
 known by

00:18:35.500 --> 00:18:35.960
 its own

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:36.420
 fruit.

00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:37.660
 For figs

00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:38.000
 are not

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:38.680
 gathered from

00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:39.420
 thorn bushes

00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:40.500
 nor are

00:18:40.500 --> 00:18:41.500
 grapes picked

00:18:41.500 --> 00:18:42.160
 from a

00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:43.100
 bramble bush.

00:18:44.040 --> 00:18:44.840
 The good

00:18:44.840 --> 00:18:45.380
 person out

00:18:45.380 --> 00:18:45.759
 of the good

00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:46.400
 treasure of

00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:46.820
 his heart

00:18:46.820 --> 00:18:47.220
 produces

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:47.740
 good and

00:18:47.740 --> 00:18:48.220
 the evil

00:18:48.220 --> 00:18:49.340
 person out

00:18:49.340 --> 00:18:49.720
 of his

00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:50.660
 evil produces

00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:51.300
 evil.

00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:52.320
 For out of

00:18:52.320 --> 00:18:52.880
 the abundance

00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:53.680
 of the heart

00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:54.279
 his mouth

00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:54.960
 speaks.

00:18:56.140 --> 00:18:56.900
 Why do you

00:18:56.900 --> 00:18:57.400
 call me

00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:58.300
 Lord,

00:18:58.600 --> 00:18:58.980
 Lord,

00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:00.100
 and not do

00:19:00.099 --> 00:19:00.439
 what I

00:19:00.439 --> 00:19:00.980
 tell you.

00:19:01.619 --> 00:19:02.019
 Everyone

00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:02.619
 who comes

00:19:02.619 --> 00:19:03.019
 to me

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:03.699
 and hears

00:19:03.699 --> 00:19:04.399
 my words

00:19:04.399 --> 00:19:04.899
 and does

00:19:04.899 --> 00:19:05.199
 them,

00:19:05.579 --> 00:19:06.019
 I will

00:19:06.019 --> 00:19:06.579
 show you

00:19:06.579 --> 00:19:06.919
 what he

00:19:06.919 --> 00:19:07.500
 is like.

00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:08.319
 He is

00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:08.659
 like a

00:19:08.659 --> 00:19:09.299
 man building

00:19:09.299 --> 00:19:09.859
 a house

00:19:09.859 --> 00:19:10.779
 who dug

00:19:10.779 --> 00:19:11.339
 deep and

00:19:11.339 --> 00:19:11.679
 laid the

00:19:11.679 --> 00:19:12.240
 foundation

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:12.619
 on the

00:19:12.619 --> 00:19:12.939
 rock.

00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:13.859
 And when

00:19:13.859 --> 00:19:14.319
 a flood

00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:14.879
 arose,

00:19:15.059 --> 00:19:15.539
 the stream

00:19:15.539 --> 00:19:15.959
 broke

00:19:15.959 --> 00:19:16.379
 against

00:19:16.379 --> 00:19:17.079
 that house

00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:18.199
 and could

00:19:18.199 --> 00:19:18.959
 not shake

00:19:18.959 --> 00:19:19.859
 it because

00:19:19.859 --> 00:19:20.159
 it had

00:19:20.159 --> 00:19:20.639
 been well

00:19:20.639 --> 00:19:21.019
 built.

00:19:21.779 --> 00:19:22.159
 But the

00:19:22.159 --> 00:19:22.519
 one who

00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:23.299
 hears and

00:19:23.299 --> 00:19:23.839
 does not

00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:24.439
 do them

00:19:24.439 --> 00:19:25.379
 is like a

00:19:25.379 --> 00:19:25.939
 man who

00:19:25.939 --> 00:19:26.399
 built a

00:19:26.399 --> 00:19:27.139
 house on

00:19:27.139 --> 00:19:27.599
 the ground

00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:28.079
 without a

00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:28.659
 foundation.

00:19:28.660 --> 00:19:29.759
 When the

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:30.060
 stream

00:19:30.060 --> 00:19:30.440
 broke

00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:30.880
 against

00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:31.160
 it,

00:19:31.580 --> 00:19:32.060
 immediately

00:19:32.060 --> 00:19:32.759
 it fell

00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:33.759
 and the

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:34.700
 ruin of

00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:35.380
 that house

00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:36.120
 was great.

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:37.340
 And so

00:19:37.340 --> 00:19:37.460
 on.

00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:37.920
 May God

00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:38.500
 bless that

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:39.759
 reading from

00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:40.680
 his word.

00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:43.200
 Let's again

00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:44.519
 engage in a

00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:44.920
 word of

00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:45.220
 prayer.

00:19:45.300 --> 00:19:45.600
 Let us

00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:45.960
 pray.

00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:50.560
 Our

00:19:50.560 --> 00:19:51.420
 Father in

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:51.820
 heaven,

00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:52.580
 as we read

00:19:52.580 --> 00:19:53.980
 here of a

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:54.860
 great multitude

00:19:54.860 --> 00:19:55.860
 who surrounded

00:19:55.860 --> 00:19:56.800
 the Lord Jesus

00:19:56.800 --> 00:19:57.900
 in these days

00:19:57.900 --> 00:19:58.960
 and as he

00:19:58.960 --> 00:19:59.600
 preached to

00:19:59.600 --> 00:20:00.980
 them of

00:20:00.980 --> 00:20:01.460
 all these

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.019
 wonderful

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:02.900
 truths and

00:20:02.900 --> 00:20:03.340
 wonderful

00:20:03.340 --> 00:20:03.920
 challenges

00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:04.300
 that we

00:20:04.300 --> 00:20:04.680
 see,

00:20:05.340 --> 00:20:06.100
 we recognize

00:20:06.100 --> 00:20:07.259
 ourselves in

00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:08.000
 so many of

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:08.220
 them,

00:20:08.700 --> 00:20:09.340
 of how far

00:20:09.340 --> 00:20:10.480
 short that

00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:11.120
 we fall

00:20:11.120 --> 00:20:12.240
 from the

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:12.840
 glory of

00:20:12.840 --> 00:20:13.220
 God.

00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:14.300
 And we

00:20:14.300 --> 00:20:14.740
 thank you

00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:15.060
 that your

00:20:15.060 --> 00:20:16.340
 word is

00:20:16.340 --> 00:20:16.980
 such a

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:18.100
 great challenge

00:20:18.100 --> 00:20:18.740
 to us.

00:20:18.860 --> 00:20:19.100
 And we

00:20:19.100 --> 00:20:19.540
 pray that

00:20:19.540 --> 00:20:19.960
 today,

00:20:20.120 --> 00:20:20.560
 that as we

00:20:20.560 --> 00:20:21.100
 hear it,

00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:21.840
 we would

00:20:21.840 --> 00:20:22.420
 indeed have

00:20:22.420 --> 00:20:23.100
 ears to

00:20:23.100 --> 00:20:24.200
 hear what

00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:24.500
 you are

00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:24.960
 saying.

00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:26.680
 for there's

00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:27.900
 these words

00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:28.579
 of Jesus

00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:29.019
 that we

00:20:29.019 --> 00:20:29.799
 read that

00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:31.120
 explain so

00:20:31.120 --> 00:20:31.579
 much of

00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:31.920
 what our

00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:33.039
 lives entail,

00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:34.180
 how we

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:35.400
 live among

00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:36.059
 people,

00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:36.819
 how we

00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:37.380
 deal with

00:20:37.380 --> 00:20:38.240
 people around

00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:38.620
 us,

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:39.799
 not just

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:40.380
 our own

00:20:40.380 --> 00:20:40.980
 people as

00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:41.340
 it were,

00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:41.799
 not just

00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:42.400
 those who

00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:43.759
 are believers

00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:44.740
 in you,

00:20:45.140 --> 00:20:45.740
 not just

00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:46.200
 those we

00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:46.920
 are comfortable

00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:47.400
 with,

00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.500
 but we are

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:49.299
 challenged in

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:49.920
 these words

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:50.319
 to look

00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:51.380
 beyond our

00:20:51.380 --> 00:20:52.160
 own walls,

00:20:52.579 --> 00:20:53.400
 to look out

00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:54.019
 into our

00:20:54.019 --> 00:20:54.580
 communities,

00:20:54.860 --> 00:20:55.200
 to look

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:56.300
 out into

00:20:56.300 --> 00:20:56.980
 our world

00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:57.320
 and to

00:20:57.320 --> 00:20:58.680
 see mankind

00:20:58.680 --> 00:20:59.420
 as it has

00:20:59.420 --> 00:21:00.220
 been created

00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:00.880
 by you,

00:21:01.259 --> 00:21:01.860
 with all

00:21:01.860 --> 00:21:03.460
 its fears

00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:04.140
 and worries

00:21:04.140 --> 00:21:05.019
 and anxieties,

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:05.500
 with all

00:21:05.500 --> 00:21:06.400
 its downfalls

00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:07.220
 and pitfalls,

00:21:08.060 --> 00:21:08.740
 with all the

00:21:08.740 --> 00:21:09.500
 differences that

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:10.759
 we see in

00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:11.180
 all our

00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:11.740
 nations.

00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:12.920
 And when we

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:13.420
 think of the

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:14.060
 world in which

00:21:14.060 --> 00:21:14.900
 we live today,

00:21:15.019 --> 00:21:16.360
 we see so

00:21:16.360 --> 00:21:17.160
 much that is

00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:18.060
 a hindrance,

00:21:18.740 --> 00:21:19.660
 so much that

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:21.400
 is brought

00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:22.320
 upon us by

00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:22.779
 sin.

00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:23.859
 For we

00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:24.359
 live in a

00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:24.859
 world that

00:21:24.859 --> 00:21:25.519
 has come

00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:26.000
 to know

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:27.119
 the reality

00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:27.839
 of sin,

00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:29.159
 that it is

00:21:29.159 --> 00:21:29.799
 not just

00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:31.379
 in our own

00:21:31.379 --> 00:21:31.819
 hearts,

00:21:31.859 --> 00:21:32.599
 but it works

00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:33.220
 out in our

00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:33.759
 lives and

00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:34.039
 in our

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.619
 experience.

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:35.879
 It is

00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:36.439
 something we

00:21:36.439 --> 00:21:37.519
 see in

00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:38.099
 ourselves,

00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:38.599
 even as we

00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:39.200
 are reminded

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:39.679
 there of

00:21:39.679 --> 00:21:40.200
 the log

00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:40.879
 in our

00:21:40.879 --> 00:21:41.299
 own eye

00:21:41.299 --> 00:21:41.759
 before we

00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:42.359
 even consider

00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:43.079
 the speck

00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:43.379
 in our

00:21:43.379 --> 00:21:43.740
 brothers.

00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:45.039
 And so,

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:45.319
 Lord,

00:21:45.399 --> 00:21:45.980
 help us to

00:21:45.980 --> 00:21:46.339
 look to

00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:46.879
 ourselves

00:21:46.879 --> 00:21:47.419
 first,

00:21:48.099 --> 00:21:48.539
 and then

00:21:48.539 --> 00:21:48.919
 to look

00:21:48.919 --> 00:21:49.460
 to others

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:49.839
 and to

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:50.159
 seek,

00:21:50.779 --> 00:21:51.579
 to administer

00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:52.259
 your word,

00:21:52.379 --> 00:21:52.839
 to preach

00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:53.539
 your word,

00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:54.599
 to draw

00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:55.039
 near to

00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:55.740
 your people,

00:21:56.259 --> 00:21:56.960
 near and

00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:57.339
 far,

00:21:57.939 --> 00:21:58.299
 and that we

00:21:58.299 --> 00:21:58.639
 would see

00:21:58.639 --> 00:21:59.119
 the wonder

00:21:59.119 --> 00:21:59.599
 of your

00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:00.659
 spirit working,

00:22:01.339 --> 00:22:01.859
 the wonder

00:22:01.859 --> 00:22:02.559
 of the spirit

00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:03.119
 that we see

00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:04.639
 working in

00:22:04.639 --> 00:22:05.279
 the passage

00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:06.159
 before us,

00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:06.460
 Lord,

00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:07.299
 as this

00:22:07.299 --> 00:22:08.119
 great multitude

00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:09.139
 heard Jesus

00:22:09.139 --> 00:22:09.699
 preach.

00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:11.000
 We see the

00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:11.579
 variety of

00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:12.599
 responses that

00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:13.339
 there were

00:22:13.339 --> 00:22:14.079
 so often.

00:22:14.639 --> 00:22:14.839
 There were

00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:15.299
 those who

00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:15.899
 would hear

00:22:15.899 --> 00:22:16.439
 and listen

00:22:16.439 --> 00:22:16.960
 and do,

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:18.079
 there were

00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:18.799
 those who

00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:19.539
 would hear

00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:20.259
 and listen

00:22:20.259 --> 00:22:21.440
 but just

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:22.139
 reject what

00:22:22.139 --> 00:22:22.619
 they heard

00:22:22.619 --> 00:22:23.079
 and turn

00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:23.659
 away back

00:22:23.659 --> 00:22:23.960
 to their

00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:24.639
 own ways.

00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:25.879
 And we

00:22:25.879 --> 00:22:26.180
 pray,

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:26.440
 Lord,

00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:26.980
 that today,

00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:27.960
 as we

00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:28.639
 always do

00:22:28.639 --> 00:22:28.960
 as we

00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:29.579
 come around

00:22:29.579 --> 00:22:30.200
 your word,

00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:31.000
 that we

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:31.519
 would just

00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:32.379
 not come

00:22:32.379 --> 00:22:33.059
 to hear,

00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:34.259
 but that

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:34.700
 your word

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:35.079
 would make

00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:35.659
 us do

00:22:35.659 --> 00:22:36.519
 as well,

00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:37.659
 that we

00:22:37.659 --> 00:22:38.079
 would seek

00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:38.519
 to leave

00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:39.240
 this place

00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:40.559
 looking to

00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:41.000
 love the

00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:41.579
 Lord Jesus

00:22:41.579 --> 00:22:42.259
 with all

00:22:42.259 --> 00:22:42.879
 our hearts

00:22:42.879 --> 00:22:43.180
 and to

00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:44.299
 know the

00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:44.899
 power of

00:22:44.899 --> 00:22:45.720
 your spirit

00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:46.240
 at work

00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:46.799
 in us.

00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:47.859
 And so

00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:48.460
 help us,

00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:48.720
 Lord,

00:22:48.819 --> 00:22:49.120
 today,

00:22:49.220 --> 00:22:49.480
 that we

00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:50.579
 would just

00:22:50.579 --> 00:22:51.140
 be still

00:22:51.140 --> 00:22:51.880
 before you

00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:52.340
 in this

00:22:52.340 --> 00:22:53.460
 time and

00:22:53.460 --> 00:22:53.660
 that you

00:22:53.660 --> 00:22:54.140
 would help

00:22:54.140 --> 00:22:54.620
 us in

00:22:54.620 --> 00:22:55.500
 our understanding

00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:56.059
 of your

00:22:56.059 --> 00:22:56.380
 word.

00:22:56.460 --> 00:22:56.660
 And we

00:22:56.660 --> 00:22:57.140
 pray that

00:22:57.140 --> 00:22:57.900
 for all

00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:58.319
 who gather

00:22:58.319 --> 00:22:58.880
 around your

00:22:58.880 --> 00:22:59.579
 word today,

00:22:59.700 --> 00:23:00.160
 wherever they

00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:00.500
 are,

00:23:01.059 --> 00:23:01.380
 be it

00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:01.660
 throughout

00:23:01.660 --> 00:23:02.259
 our island

00:23:02.259 --> 00:23:02.940
 communities

00:23:02.940 --> 00:23:03.400
 here,

00:23:03.500 --> 00:23:04.059
 our nation

00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:04.360
 or the

00:23:04.360 --> 00:23:04.700
 world,

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:05.799
 we thank

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.039
 you that

00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:06.360
 from the

00:23:06.360 --> 00:23:06.960
 rising of

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:07.420
 the sun

00:23:07.420 --> 00:23:07.900
 to its

00:23:07.900 --> 00:23:08.200
 setting,

00:23:08.299 --> 00:23:08.720
 your name

00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:09.539
 is praised.

00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:10.519
 And we

00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:11.000
 pray for

00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:11.559
 the power

00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:12.579
 of your

00:23:12.579 --> 00:23:13.120
 spirit to

00:23:13.120 --> 00:23:13.380
 be at

00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:13.640
 worth,

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:13.940
 that your

00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:14.400
 word would

00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:15.100
 not return

00:23:15.100 --> 00:23:15.700
 empty or

00:23:15.700 --> 00:23:16.000
 void,

00:23:16.100 --> 00:23:16.660
 but accomplish

00:23:16.660 --> 00:23:17.799
 all for

00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:18.140
 which it

00:23:18.140 --> 00:23:18.620
 is sent

00:23:18.620 --> 00:23:19.040
 forth.

00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:20.060
 We do

00:23:20.060 --> 00:23:21.440
 remember the

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:22.560
 preaching of

00:23:22.560 --> 00:23:22.900
 your word,

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:23.620
 remember the

00:23:23.620 --> 00:23:24.980
 sacraments of

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:25.520
 the Lord's

00:23:25.520 --> 00:23:26.000
 Supper as

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:26.300
 they take

00:23:26.300 --> 00:23:27.020
 place today

00:23:27.020 --> 00:23:27.520
 throughout

00:23:27.520 --> 00:23:29.040
 congregations as

00:23:29.040 --> 00:23:29.259
 well.

00:23:29.340 --> 00:23:29.820
 We remember

00:23:29.820 --> 00:23:30.259
 them in

00:23:30.259 --> 00:23:31.040
 Shabbos and

00:23:31.040 --> 00:23:31.860
 Leverborough,

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:33.120
 praying for

00:23:33.120 --> 00:23:34.140
 the congregations

00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:35.140
 there and

00:23:35.140 --> 00:23:35.759
 your blessing

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:36.300
 on them,

00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:37.220
 upon your

00:23:37.220 --> 00:23:37.800
 people and

00:23:37.800 --> 00:23:38.280
 upon all

00:23:38.280 --> 00:23:38.759
 who hear

00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:39.360
 your word,

00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:40.240
 that there

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:40.580
 will be a

00:23:40.580 --> 00:23:41.280
 great sense

00:23:41.280 --> 00:23:41.759
 of your

00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:42.759
 presence with

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:42.980
 them.

00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:43.880
 We pray

00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:45.100
 that as the

00:23:45.100 --> 00:23:45.920
 communion

00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:46.980
 seasons continue

00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:47.680
 in our midst,

00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:48.039
 Lord,

00:23:48.460 --> 00:23:48.839
 even as we

00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:49.420
 look back to

00:23:49.420 --> 00:23:49.740
 our own

00:23:49.740 --> 00:23:50.099
 weekend,

00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:50.740
 last weekend,

00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:51.500
 giving thanks

00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:52.200
 to you for

00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:53.160
 your goodness

00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:54.559
 to us in it

00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:55.099
 and the word

00:23:55.099 --> 00:23:55.740
 proclaimed,

00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:57.019
 people coming

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.680
 to profess

00:23:57.680 --> 00:23:58.339
 the Lord,

00:23:58.960 --> 00:23:59.299
 and people

00:23:59.299 --> 00:24:00.559
 being both

00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:02.059
 convicted and

00:24:02.059 --> 00:24:02.640
 built up.

00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:03.660
 We just pray

00:24:03.660 --> 00:24:04.400
 that that word

00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:04.920
 will continue

00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:05.740
 to bear much

00:24:05.740 --> 00:24:06.140
 fruit.

00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:07.279
 And we do

00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:07.960
 pray, Lord,

00:24:08.019 --> 00:24:08.519
 that you will

00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:09.460
 continue to go

00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:10.339
 before us as

00:24:10.339 --> 00:24:10.920
 a people,

00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:12.099
 and you would

00:24:12.099 --> 00:24:12.819
 guide us even

00:24:12.819 --> 00:24:13.220
 in the week

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:13.799
 ahead as we

00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:14.860
 think of all

00:24:14.860 --> 00:24:15.680
 that is before

00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:16.000
 us.

00:24:16.060 --> 00:24:16.400
 We thank

00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:16.820
 you for all

00:24:16.820 --> 00:24:17.279
 the times

00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:17.860
 of prayer

00:24:17.860 --> 00:24:18.820
 we enjoy

00:24:18.820 --> 00:24:19.360
 together,

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:20.200
 and may

00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:20.700
 there be a

00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:21.279
 spirit of

00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:21.980
 unity in

00:24:21.980 --> 00:24:22.680
 prayer and

00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.980
 thanksgiving to

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:24.680
 you and also

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:25.380
 seeking your

00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:25.700
 will.

00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:27.019
 As we think

00:24:27.019 --> 00:24:28.100
 of the

00:24:28.100 --> 00:24:28.600
 vacancy

00:24:28.600 --> 00:24:29.440
 committee taking

00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:30.140
 place on

00:24:30.140 --> 00:24:30.900
 Tuesday evening,

00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:31.299
 Lord, we

00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:32.759
 pray for your

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:33.340
 people who

00:24:33.340 --> 00:24:34.259
 gather there as

00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:35.000
 part of it,

00:24:35.100 --> 00:24:35.660
 and for your

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:36.220
 wisdom and

00:24:36.220 --> 00:24:36.840
 your guidance

00:24:36.840 --> 00:24:37.360
 in it.

00:24:38.100 --> 00:24:38.660
 We remember,

00:24:38.860 --> 00:24:39.320
 Lord, the

00:24:39.320 --> 00:24:40.100
 ministry of

00:24:40.100 --> 00:24:40.680
 your word as

00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:41.279
 well as we

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:42.140
 look forward to,

00:24:42.580 --> 00:24:42.940
 God willing,

00:24:43.019 --> 00:24:43.660
 Bob Aykroyd

00:24:43.660 --> 00:24:44.400
 being here next

00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:44.680
 week.

00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:45.340
 We pray for

00:24:45.340 --> 00:24:45.840
 him as he

00:24:45.840 --> 00:24:46.519
 prepares to

00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:48.080
 come, and

00:24:48.080 --> 00:24:48.680
 just give him

00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:50.840
 safe travel, and

00:24:50.840 --> 00:24:51.480
 may your blessing

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.100
 be with him in

00:24:53.100 --> 00:24:54.200
 his time here, and

00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:55.120
 also other vacant

00:24:55.120 --> 00:24:56.960
 congregations throughout

00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:58.019
 our islands at this

00:24:58.019 --> 00:24:58.799
 time as well.

00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:01.220
 We pray for those

00:25:01.220 --> 00:25:01.940
 who are seeking to

00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:02.779
 call on us that

00:25:02.779 --> 00:25:03.820
 you provide for

00:25:03.820 --> 00:25:04.060
 them.

00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:05.700
 Remember, two new

00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:06.640
 ministries beginning

00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:07.259
 this weekend.

00:25:07.380 --> 00:25:07.960
 We thank you for the

00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:09.320
 induction of Reverend

00:25:09.320 --> 00:25:10.060
 Murdo Campbell

00:25:10.060 --> 00:25:11.240
 yesterday, and pray

00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:12.840
 for Murdo and Alison

00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:13.559
 and the boys as

00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:15.019
 they settle in to

00:25:15.019 --> 00:25:16.000
 the congregation of

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:16.879
 Knockbain, that you

00:25:16.879 --> 00:25:17.659
 would bless them and

00:25:17.659 --> 00:25:19.079
 be with them, with

00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:19.740
 them, as he has

00:25:19.740 --> 00:25:21.059
 preached in today, that

00:25:21.059 --> 00:25:22.299
 your spirit will be

00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:24.039
 there with them to

00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:25.159
 give them that

00:25:25.159 --> 00:25:26.179
 knowledge that you

00:25:26.179 --> 00:25:26.959
 are with them, that

00:25:26.959 --> 00:25:27.819
 you are for them.

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:29.679
 We pray, Lord, for

00:25:29.679 --> 00:25:32.039
 our seminary as well,

00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:32.959
 Lord, praying for all

00:25:32.959 --> 00:25:33.980
 the endeavors of

00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:35.480
 raising up ministers

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:36.399
 of the gospel.

00:25:36.639 --> 00:25:38.240
 We thank you for all

00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:39.559
 who lecture and who

00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:41.299
 help in the seminary in

00:25:41.299 --> 00:25:42.539
 so many different ways,

00:25:42.619 --> 00:25:43.379
 and we pray for all

00:25:43.379 --> 00:25:45.440
 the students too, as

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:46.659
 they continue their

00:25:46.659 --> 00:25:48.119
 studies and go

00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:48.740
 through all the

00:25:48.740 --> 00:25:50.019
 different examinations

00:25:50.019 --> 00:25:51.339
 and tests over the

00:25:51.339 --> 00:25:52.859
 coming months as well,

00:25:52.899 --> 00:25:53.799
 that you would uphold

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.680
 them and strengthen

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:54.980
 them.

00:25:55.779 --> 00:25:56.740
 And so we pray, Lord,

00:25:56.779 --> 00:25:57.879
 for our nation too,

00:25:57.980 --> 00:25:58.740
 that we would see

00:25:58.740 --> 00:26:00.440
 your mercy upon us,

00:26:00.879 --> 00:26:02.299
 that we would see a

00:26:02.299 --> 00:26:03.399
 people turning to

00:26:03.399 --> 00:26:05.000
 you, our leaders, our

00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:06.599
 king and his family.

00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:08.240
 Lord, we pray for

00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:09.879
 each one to know your

00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:11.080
 wisdom and your blessing

00:26:11.080 --> 00:26:12.780
 on them, to know a

00:26:12.780 --> 00:26:13.680
 turning to you.

00:26:14.280 --> 00:26:15.520
 We pray for peace in

00:26:15.520 --> 00:26:17.880
 our nations too, and we

00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:19.600
 see so many troubles in

00:26:19.600 --> 00:26:20.560
 the Middle East, in the

00:26:20.560 --> 00:26:21.920
 Ukraine and Russia, and

00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:23.160
 so many tensions

00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:24.120
 building in so many

00:26:24.120 --> 00:26:24.940
 different parts.

00:26:25.020 --> 00:26:26.000
 We ask, O Lord, for

00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:27.780
 your mercy over us, and

00:26:27.780 --> 00:26:28.620
 that you would come in

00:26:28.620 --> 00:26:29.180
 your power.

00:26:29.800 --> 00:26:30.640
 We ask, Lord, that you

00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:31.700
 will hear our prayers,

00:26:31.780 --> 00:26:33.360
 continue with us in our

00:26:33.360 --> 00:26:34.260
 worship as we sing

00:26:34.260 --> 00:26:35.240
 praise to you, and as we

00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:36.880
 come to your word, and

00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:38.220
 speak to us, we pray.

00:26:38.220 --> 00:26:39.759
 And all we ask, we ask

00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:40.759
 the forgiveness of our

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:42.240
 sins, in Jesus' name.

00:26:42.779 --> 00:26:43.140
 Amen.

00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:47.220
 Before we turn back to

00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:48.360
 look at this passage, we'll

00:26:48.360 --> 00:26:49.960
 again sing to God's

00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:51.059
 praise this time in Psalm

00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:51.579
 11.

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:53.880
 And we'll sing Psalms

00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:55.120
 version, Psalm 11.

00:26:57.940 --> 00:27:00.039
 Find it on page 13 of the

00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:00.660
 Psalm books.

00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:03.140
 And we're going to sing

00:27:03.140 --> 00:27:06.000
 from verse 1 to verse 5,

00:27:06.420 --> 00:27:06.960
 Psalm 11.

00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:17.400
 We'll sing from verse 1 to

00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.400
 5 to God's praise.

00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:31.320
 I find my refuge in the Lord.

00:27:31.320 --> 00:27:40.120
 How is it then, you say to me,

00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:48.559
 make your escape, and like a bird,

00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:56.500
 for refuge to your mountain flee?

00:27:56.500 --> 00:28:06.679
 For look the wicked bend their bows,

00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:10.680
 and on the string, and on the string,

00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.500
 they set their dart.

00:28:16.120 --> 00:28:24.039
 From shadows dark, they aim and shoot

00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:33.000
 at those who are a bright in heart.

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:43.440
 If the foundations are destroyed, and all

00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:43.440


00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:45.440
 righteous do, surrounded by the

00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:47.440
 the Lord is in the Lord.

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:47.440


00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:48.440
 the righteous do, and all the things that we are

00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:49.440
 the righteous do, and all the things that we are

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:50.440
 the righteous do.

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:57.440
 Whatever can the righteous do,

00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:59.440
 the righteous do,

00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:07.440
 surrounded by such tisody.

00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:17.440
 The Lord is in his holy place.

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:25.880
 The Lord is on his heavenly throne.

00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:40.880
 His eyes observe the human race, and in his sight each one is known.

00:29:40.880 --> 00:30:01.880
 The Lord examines all the just, the righteous ones he proves and tests.

00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:19.880
 But all those who love wickedness, and violence his soul detests.

00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:20.880
 Amen.

00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:21.880
 Amen.

00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:22.880
 Amen.

00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:23.880
 Amen.

00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:24.880
 Amen.

00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:28.880
 Well, if we can turn back to our reading in Luke chapter 6, we're going to look at the

00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:32.880
 end of this passage, verse 46 to 49.

00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:38.880
 Just the conclusion of Jesus' sermon here.

00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.880
 Luke chapter 6 at verse 46.

00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:46.880
 Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I tell you?

00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:53.880
 Everyone who comes to me and hears my word and does them, I will show you what he is like.

00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:58.880
 And so it goes on into the parable of the one who builds his house upon the rock,

00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:04.880
 and the one who builds his house upon the sand, the ground without foundation.

00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:10.880
 It's quite incredible to think the kind of setting that Jesus was in here as he'd been up the mountain

00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:11.880
 to pray.

00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:13.880
 He spent a whole night in prayer.

00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:18.880
 Then he's come down and he's met with the disciples who he then calls to follow him.

00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:25.880
 And there's this great crowd, this great multitude that gather around to hear what he has to say to them.

00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:32.880
 They're coming for different reasons, coming from all kinds of different places with all kinds of different desires.

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:38.880
 But he's confronted with this mass audience of people, thousands probably.

00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:42.880
 As you read elsewhere, you see that there were thousands following Jesus.

00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:48.880
 When you think of the parable of the feeding of the 5,000, that was just men.

00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:51.880
 There were women and children on top of that as well.

00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:56.880
 So there were thousands who were gathering around to hear what he was saying to them.

00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:02.880
 And when you think of it, I'm sure many of you can remember this place once being full.

00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:05.880
 Every pew, every seat taken.

00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:14.880
 Even extra chairs being put out at certain times for services because there was such a hunger to come and hear the word of God.

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:19.880
 And there's a great joy and delight in that coming.

00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:31.880
 When you think of the crowds here in Jesus' day or this place fuller, even just as we think of it today, all who are here today, just coming to hear what the word of God is saying to us.

00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:39.880
 But as we see in this passage, it's not just about coming here to hear, but it's also how we go from this place.

00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:43.880
 How do we go away from this place?

00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:48.880
 And when Jesus is preaching to them here, he covers a lot of ground with them.

00:32:48.880 --> 00:33:03.880
 As you read through these verses from verse 17, you go into the Beatitudes, you go into the woes that he pronounces, you go through the instructions that he gives about loving your enemies and judging others, bearing fruit.

00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:10.880
 All of these things that he is preaching about, they have come both to see him doing great things for them.

00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:17.880
 As you read in verse 18, they came to be healed of their diseases, to touch them that they might be healed.

00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:23.880
 But above all, what Jesus is saying is important is to come and hear what he is saying.

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:33.880
 And it's the end of this sermon I want to focus on with you this morning, the conclusion in verse 46 to 49.

00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:37.880
 And it's this conclusion that gives us a challenge.

00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:43.880
 So as you read through the sermon, you're left with this challenge.

00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:48.880
 And it's a challenge that we see in three different ways.

00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:53.880
 We have a challenge, first of all, as to who is Lord.

00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:57.880
 We have a challenge then as to, are we listening?

00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.880
 And then we have a challenge to the conclusion.

00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:02.880
 What are we going to do with it all?

00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:04.880
 How are we going to live our lives?

00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:07.880
 What are we going to build our lives on?

00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:13.880
 And you can imagine this crowd just like any service that we have in church here.

00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:20.880
 You can imagine people are responding in different ways, hearing the preaching of the word.

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:29.880
 There would have been some who would have been nodding their heads in agreement, giving their amen to everything that Jesus was saying.

00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:34.880
 Even afterwards, going to talk about it amongst themselves.

00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.880
 We see that response here.

00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:47.880
 We think last weekend, a communion weekend, a time of being together, of giving an amen to what we were hearing about talking, about what we've heard.

00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:50.880
 But what have we done with it in this last week?

00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:53.880
 And that's what Jesus is getting at here.

00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:59.880
 He's looking beyond just being under the word, but what we do with the word.

00:34:59.880 --> 00:35:02.880
 Are we applying it to ourselves?

00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:05.880
 Are we just enjoying the hearing?

00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:08.880
 Or are we going to go away and do something with it?

00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:17.880
 And what Jesus is saying here as you begin at verse 46 is it's not enough just to say, well, I agree with that point.

00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:19.880
 That's very good and very interesting.

00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:25.880
 I agree and believe in what you are saying, but is it really going to change my life?

00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:30.880
 Am I going to allow it to be everything that my life is built upon?

00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:38.880
 And so we see Jesus from verse 46 begin with this challenge as to lordship.

00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:40.880
 Who is our Lord?

00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:44.880
 And then in verse 47, he gives us a command.

00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:50.880
 The command that instructs us towards how we can have Jesus as Lord.

00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:56.880
 And then you see in verse 48 and 49, the conclusion here.

00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:58.880
 And it's a two way conclusion.

00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:04.880
 There's going to be a conclusion for all of us, whether we're standing firm in Christ,

00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:11.880
 or whether we're pushing him away and falling, falling for all eternity.

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:15.880
 And so we want to see this conclusion and look at it in this way.

00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:19.880
 First of all, the challenge that he gives, is he Lord?

00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:21.880
 And we have this in verse 46.

00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:32.880
 Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I tell you?

00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:34.880
 Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I tell you?

00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:38.880
 So you can see here that there is this interest in Jesus.

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:40.880
 They're saying, yes, Lord.

00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:42.880
 Oh, we're hearing you, Lord.

00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.880
 We see what you're saying to us.

00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:49.880
 And Jesus is saying, yes, you're calling me Lord, Lord.

00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:53.880
 And yet you do not do what I tell you.

00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:56.880
 And that's the first challenge to our own hearts as well.

00:36:56.880 --> 00:37:01.880
 We can nod in agreement to all that the word of God says to us.

00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:05.880
 We can nod in agreement that Jesus is Lord.

00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:09.880
 And yet we do not do what he tells us.

00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:19.880
 A preacher once said, the first duty of every soul is to find not its freedom, but its master.

00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:27.880
 And you realize that in what Jesus is saying here.

00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:35.880
 Not all who call me Lord, Lord, will be saved, as it says in Matthew 7, the equivalent account of this.

00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:40.880
 And so we're thinking here of, well, who is Lord?

00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:44.880
 Who is Lord of our lives?

00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:55.880
 So many people seek to find their freedom, find how to live life, live it to the full, without seeking first, well, who is master?

00:37:55.880 --> 00:37:56.880
 Who is Lord?

00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:59.880
 How am I meant to be living my life?

00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:03.880
 That's the warning that Jesus is giving in this verse.

00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:07.880
 You say, Lord, Lord, but do not do as I say.

00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:11.880
 And it's a recurring theme throughout the scriptures, this.

00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:16.880
 You go back to the Old Testament, to the prophets, they had the same challenge.

00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:19.880
 Who would they have as Lord of their life?

00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:30.880
 Ezekiel, for example, a prophet who was preaching among people who were, yes, in agreement about God in some ways, but they wouldn't listen.

00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:33.880
 In Ezekiel 33, verse 30, it says,

00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:47.880
 As for you, son of man, your people who talk together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, say to one another, each to his brother, come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.

00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:58.880
 And they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say, but they will not do it.

00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:00.880
 They will not do it.

00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:02.880
 So there's this interest.

00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:05.880
 They come and they hear what is saying.

00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:10.880
 They sit before him and hear, but they will not do it.

00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:15.880
 And that's exactly what Jesus is showing here as well.

00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:18.880
 There can be an interest in the things of God.

00:39:18.880 --> 00:39:21.880
 There can be even a listening to the things of God.

00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:25.880
 But the challenge comes when we think of doing it.

00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:30.880
 Are we doing what the word of God says?

00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:36.880
 Obedience to Christ is not just an optional extra.

00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:40.880
 It's not just something that's there for some people.

00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:42.880
 It's for all of us.

00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:50.880
 If the Lord is calling us to follow him, to put our faith and trust in him, obedience must be part of it.

00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:54.880
 Doing what he says.

00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:59.880
 We can look and many look at passages such as Ephesians.

00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:03.880
 We've been looking at it in the Bible study in the hall.

00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:06.880
 The alones of the Reformation.

00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:10.880
 And we've been thinking about grace alone and faith alone.

00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:11.880
 All of these things.

00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:14.880
 And you have great passages like Ephesians.

00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:19.880
 And it speaks there about, we are saved by grace through faith and not of any works.

00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:23.880
 It's not of ourselves, lest we should boast.

00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:25.880
 And that is so true.

00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:27.880
 So we're going to be saved by faith.

00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:30.880
 We need to believe in the Lord Jesus.

00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:32.880
 But is that it?

00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:34.880
 Is that where it all ends?

00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:37.880
 I've come and I've trusted the Lord Jesus.

00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:38.880
 That's enough.

00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:40.880
 Well, Jesus says, no.

00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:43.880
 You still have to do as I tell you.

00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:46.880
 You still have to live as I tell you.

00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:51.880
 And in Ephesians chapter 2, we're given that example as well.

00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:54.880
 We are saved by grace through faith alone.

00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:55.880
 It's so true.

00:40:55.880 --> 00:40:58.880
 But verse 10 goes on to say this.

00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:08.880
 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:17.880
 And so there is this command to obedience, to walk in the ways that God has prepared for us.

00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:21.880
 To be a people who do the word.

00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:26.880
 And so faith submits to the Lordship of Christ.

00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:32.880
 And as we do that, then we are led as it is to be sanctified, to go on.

00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:35.880
 To go on in our life lived for him.

00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:38.880
 Seeking to do as he commands.

00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:40.880
 Knowing we don't always get it right.

00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:42.880
 Knowing we fall.

00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:47.880
 But yet our desire should be to do the will of God.

00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:51.880
 And to live out that life of faith.

00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:56.880
 Because there's a real danger of having a false profession.

00:41:56.880 --> 00:42:00.880
 A profession that doesn't go into the heart.

00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:04.880
 It may be on our lips, but it's not changing us.

00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:09.880
 Again, when you look at the equivalent to this passage in Matthew 7.

00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:12.880
 Jesus says in verse 21 of Matthew 7.

00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:18.880
 Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven.

00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:24.880
 But he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:29.880
 Lord, Lord is not enough.

00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:33.880
 It needs to go deeper than that.

00:42:33.880 --> 00:42:38.880
 Outwardly, many people in this crowd could seem righteous.

00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:43.880
 Outwardly in life, many people can seem to be good people.

00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:45.880
 And we could say it of so many.

00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:46.880
 They are good men.

00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:47.880
 They are good women.

00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:50.880
 They are good children.

00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:52.880
 But it needs to go deeper.

00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:58.880
 It's not enough just to say, Lord, Lord, and not do what he tells you.

00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:02.880
 Who is Lord of your life?

00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:08.880
 Not just in the listening to the word of God, but going out from here day by day.

00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:11.880
 Who is Lord of your life?

00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:19.880
 Shortly after joining the Navy, there was a new recruit.

00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:21.880
 And he'd had a wedding coming up.

00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:25.880
 He wasn't the one getting married, but he was part of the wedding party.

00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:28.880
 And he'd known it was coming before he joined the Navy.

00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:38.880
 And so when he joined the Navy, he asked his officer who was in charge of him if he could have a pass to get out and to attend the wedding.

00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:46.880
 And the officer gave this young man, this new recruit, he gave him a pass to go and attend the wedding.

00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:53.880
 But when this new recruit looked at it, he saw that he had to be back by 7 p.m. the day of the wedding.

00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:59.880
 And so he went back to his officer and said, sir, you don't understand.

00:43:59.880 --> 00:44:01.880
 I have to stay out later.

00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:03.880
 I'm part of the wedding party.

00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:08.880
 And the officer just looked at him and says, no, you don't understand.

00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:11.880
 You're in the Navy now.

00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:13.880
 You do as you're told here.

00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:17.880
 And that's what Jesus is saying to us.

00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:20.880
 We can't go and say to Jesus, you don't understand.

00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:23.880
 You don't understand the things that I have to do for myself.

00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:25.880
 The way I have to live.

00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:28.880
 Jesus is saying, no, you don't understand.

00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:33.880
 If you're to follow me, I am to be Lord of your life.

00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:42.880
 Because as someone put it, if he's not Lord of all, then he's not Lord at all.

00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:47.880
 So the challenge is, who is Lord?

00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:54.880
 Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I tell you?

00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:57.880
 Is he Lord of your life?

00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:02.880
 Well, then we see the testing of Lordship.

00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:04.880
 And it comes in two different ways.

00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:06.880
 The first is a command.

00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.880
 And we see this in verse 47.

00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:20.880
 And here he says, everyone who comes to me and hears my word and does them, I will show you what he is like.

00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:30.880
 So before you come to the illustration of what he is like and what the opposite is like, you have just these few words in verse 47.

00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:36.880
 Everyone who comes to me and hears my word and does them.

00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:40.880
 So there are three commands there for us.

00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:45.880
 We come, we hear, and we do.

00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:49.880
 And that's what Jesus is saying.

00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:54.880
 To know him as Lord, you must have these three things.

00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:58.880
 Jesus has to be Lord in order to be saved.

00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:03.880
 And in order to be saved, what Jesus is saying, the first thing is, you must come.

00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:07.880
 Everyone who comes to me.

00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:14.880
 Now we heard a lot about this last weekend when David was preaching to us on that great verse in Matthew 11, verse 28.

00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:19.880
 Verse 28, come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:22.880
 So I'm not going to say much on this point.

00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:27.880
 But again, it's just highlighted for us here the importance of coming.

00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:32.880
 To know Jesus as Lord, we must come to him.

00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:36.880
 And we come to him through his word.

00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:43.880
 And just as we see the great multitude here gathered to hear this sermon, there's this great crowd.

00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:45.880
 They have come to hear.

00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:49.880
 And it's good for us to be here.

00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:51.880
 It's good for us to listen online.

00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:54.880
 But there needs to be more.

00:46:54.880 --> 00:47:00.880
 And so he goes on, he says, comes to me and hears my words.

00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:03.880
 Are you listening?

00:47:03.880 --> 00:47:06.880
 There's a command to hear.

00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:09.880
 So the question is, are you listening?

00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:12.880
 Because there are a lot of distractions for us.

00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:15.880
 Just as there were for the crowd who gathered here.

00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:16.880
 A lot of distractions.

00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:18.880
 They had come to be healed.

00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:20.880
 They had come to touch him.

00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:22.880
 All of these things they saw as important.

00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:24.880
 And in many ways they were.

00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:26.880
 Jesus was able to heal.

00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:32.880
 But what he is saying here is, you must come and you must hear.

00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:37.880
 You must listen to what I am saying.

00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.880
 You can imagine the crowd, yes, that's very interesting what you're saying.

00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:41.880
 But heal me.

00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:42.880
 Or heal my friend.

00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:44.880
 That's what I've come for.

00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:47.880
 But Jesus is saying, no.

00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:50.880
 What is important is to hear.

00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:53.880
 To hear what I am saying to you.

00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:57.880
 But we can be so easily distracted that we don't listen.

00:47:57.880 --> 00:48:03.880
 Imagine sitting on a plane, getting ready for takeoff to a sunny climb.

00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:05.880
 You're waiting for takeoff.

00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:06.880
 And you know where you're going.

00:48:06.880 --> 00:48:08.880
 You're looking forward maybe to a week in the sun.

00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:10.880
 Where is your attention?

00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:18.880
 Where is your attention when you hear the tannoy say, for a few moments if we could have your attention for the following safety announcement?

00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:24.880
 Do you suddenly switch off and start listening to the safety announcement?

00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:26.880
 Seldom people do.

00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:28.880
 We just carry on doing what we're doing.

00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:29.880
 Thinking what we're thinking.

00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:31.880
 Our focus is where we're going.

00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:33.880
 The sunshine, the hotel, the food.

00:48:33.880 --> 00:48:35.880
 All that we're looking forward to.

00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:38.880
 We don't listen to the safety announcement.

00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:44.880
 And those who are giving the safety announcement, they often realise hardly anyone is paying attention.

00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:50.880
 One air stewardess said that she got so annoyed that people weren't listening.

00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:53.880
 She decided this day just to say something different.

00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:56.880
 And see what reaction it would bring.

00:48:56.880 --> 00:49:03.880
 And so in the safety announcement, she said, when the air mask falls down, place it on your belly button and breathe as normal.

00:49:03.880 --> 00:49:06.880
 And nobody batted an eyelid.

00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:08.880
 Nobody even looked up.

00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:10.880
 She just said, it just went over them.

00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:12.880
 They weren't listening.

00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:17.880
 And so often, that's what it's like when we come to the Word of God.

00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:20.880
 We're thinking ahead to the rest of the week.

00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:21.880
 We're looking at other things.

00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:22.880
 We're not listening.

00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:27.880
 So we need to listen to what the Word of God is saying.

00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:30.880
 But there's more than that as well.

00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:33.880
 Because he says, you must come.

00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:34.880
 You must listen.

00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:36.880
 You must hear my words.

00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:39.880
 Then he says, the one who does them.

00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:42.880
 And this is the key.

00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:48.880
 This is what links between verse 46 and 48.

00:49:48.880 --> 00:49:50.880
 These words that we have.

00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:51.880
 You come.

00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:52.880
 You hear.

00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:53.880
 You do.

00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:55.880
 This is what's important.

00:49:55.880 --> 00:49:56.880
 You do.

00:49:56.880 --> 00:50:02.880
 Come and hear my word and be doers.

00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:05.880
 Just like James says in his own letter.

00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:07.880
 In chapter 1, verse 22.

00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:09.880
 But be doers of the word.

00:50:09.880 --> 00:50:13.880
 And not hearers only deceiving yourselves.

00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:17.880
 Be doers of the word.

00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:22.880
 And what do we think of when we think of what he's saying here of doing the word?

00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:28.880
 Well, you go back through the sermon and you apply all the different things that he says here.

00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:33.880
 How he speaks about our priorities in verse 20 to 26.

00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:37.880
 How he speaks about doing what doesn't come naturally and loving our enemies.

00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.880
 Verse 27 to 36.

00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:43.880
 And showing mercy in verse 37 to 42.

00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:49.880
 And being discerning in so many different ways in verse 43 to 46.

00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:54.880
 It's applying what we've heard and doing as we've heard.

00:50:54.880 --> 00:50:58.880
 Living out God's word in our lives.

00:50:59.880 --> 00:51:00.880
 Obedience.

00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:01.880
 Listening.

00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:04.880
 A life lived for him.

00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:07.880
 And so we have these commands.

00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:11.880
 Come, hear, and do.

00:51:11.880 --> 00:51:15.880
 And that then leads us into the conclusion.

00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:19.880
 And the conclusion of the sermon is this.

00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:24.880
 Where you have these houses being built in two different places.

00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:28.880
 And only one will stand.

00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:31.880
 One on the rock.

00:51:31.880 --> 00:51:33.880
 And the other on sand.

00:51:33.880 --> 00:51:36.880
 And what Jesus is saying is here is,

00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:39.880
 Where is your priorities?

00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:44.880
 And who is your Lord?

00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:47.880
 Obedience is the key.

00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:50.880
 And so he goes on to say in verse 48.

00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:55.880
 The one who hears, the one who comes and hears and does.

00:51:55.880 --> 00:52:00.880
 He is like a man building a house who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock.

00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:06.880
 And when the flood arose, the stream broke against the house and could not shake it.

00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:08.880
 Because it had been well built.

00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:16.880
 And so Jesus is saying here is the one who comes, who hears and who does.

00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:27.880
 He is built on that secure foundation of love for Jesus Christ.

00:52:27.880 --> 00:52:30.880
 And doing as he says.

00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:33.880
 But the other he says.

00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:35.880
 But the one who hears.

00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:37.880
 And you notice it says hears.

00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:40.880
 He still hears what's being said.

00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:43.880
 But he does not do them.

00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:46.880
 He listens.

00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:48.880
 He hears everything that's being said.

00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:51.880
 But goes away and does nothing with them.

00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:56.880
 He is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation.

00:52:56.880 --> 00:52:59.880
 So when the stream broke against it, immediately it fell.

00:52:59.880 --> 00:53:03.880
 And the ruin of the house was great.

00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:08.880
 Now we see here clearly what Jesus is saying.

00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:11.880
 We all hear the word of God.

00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:14.880
 But what do we do with it?

00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:16.880
 That's what's important.

00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:21.880
 There is one who builds on a strong foundation.

00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:26.880
 That foundation that is faith in Jesus Christ.

00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:28.880
 And doing as he commands.

00:53:28.880 --> 00:53:35.880
 But the other hears but puts it away.

00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:38.880
 It's the one who says not yet.

00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:41.880
 Or the one who says not at all.

00:53:41.880 --> 00:53:42.880
 Or not through.

00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:44.880
 I want nothing to do with Jesus.

00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:48.880
 Well it says the ruin of that house is great.

00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:52.880
 And as Jesus is so often doing when he's preaching.

00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:55.880
 He is reminding us of eternity.

00:53:55.880 --> 00:53:58.880
 And the final judgment that will come.

00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:03.880
 And when he will come and ask what have you done with my word.

00:54:03.880 --> 00:54:04.880
 You've heard it.

00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:05.880
 You've heard it.

00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:06.880
 Did you do it?

00:54:06.880 --> 00:54:10.880
 Did you do as my word says?

00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:16.880
 Well only the one who has done as he was commanded will stand.

00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:19.880
 The one who hears and does not do them.

00:54:19.880 --> 00:54:21.880
 There is a great fall.

00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:27.880
 And what Jesus is speaking about here is the difference between heaven and hell.

00:54:27.880 --> 00:54:30.880
 Which he so often makes clear.

00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:34.880
 When you think of the broad road and the narrow road it's exactly the same thing.

00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:36.880
 One leads to eternal life.

00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:38.880
 One leads to eternal damnation.

00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:41.880
 The rich man and Lazarus.

00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:44.880
 One was in heaven.

00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:45.880
 One was in hell.

00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:50.880
 And that's the challenge put before us here in this conclusion.

00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:52.880
 This is how serious it is.

00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:55.880
 This is the difference between the warning that we hear.

00:54:55.880 --> 00:54:58.880
 And listening or just saying nothing at all.

00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:02.880
 We think of campers going onto the beach with their tent.

00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:06.880
 Not knowing the devastation that will come upon them.

00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:08.880
 We thank God that Jesus warns us.

00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:10.880
 That he speaks to us.

00:55:10.880 --> 00:55:13.880
 But do we listen?

00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:16.880
 Do we listen to what he is saying?

00:55:16.880 --> 00:55:18.880
 Because this is the seriousness of it.

00:55:18.880 --> 00:55:22.880
 One will stand in the day of judgment.

00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:24.880
 Secure in Christ.

00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:25.880
 The other will fall.

00:55:25.880 --> 00:55:30.880
 Come, he says.

00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:33.880
 Hear and do.

00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:40.880
 There was a story told of a new minister who had come to a village in England.

00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:46.880
 And as he was, he was doing visits to many different homes in the village.

00:55:46.880 --> 00:55:49.880
 And in one home he met a woman.

00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:51.880
 And he left her with this question.

00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:55.880
 He asked her, does Christ live here?

00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:59.880
 And she didn't answer there and then.

00:55:59.880 --> 00:56:03.880
 When her husband came home, she told him that the new minister had visited.

00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:06.880
 And the husband asked, well, what did he have to say?

00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:10.880
 And he said, well, he asked me a question.

00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:13.880
 He asked, does Christ live here?

00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:18.880
 And I said, and she said to her husband, and I didn't know what to say.

00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:21.880
 And the husband was quite embarrassed by this.

00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:24.880
 And he says, well, why didn't you give an answer?

00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:27.880
 Why didn't you tell him that we are good people?

00:56:27.880 --> 00:56:32.880
 And she said to him, but that's not the question that he asked.

00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:36.880
 Then why didn't you say that we read our Bible and we say our prayers?

00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:40.880
 And again, she said, but that's not the question that he asked.

00:56:40.880 --> 00:56:47.880
 And the husband was getting a little frustrated and said, then why didn't you tell him that we are regular to go to church?

00:56:47.880 --> 00:56:52.880
 And she said, but that's not the question that he asked.

00:56:52.880 --> 00:56:57.880
 And for the next few days and weeks, the couple, they were troubled by this question.

00:56:57.880 --> 00:56:59.880
 Does Christ live here?

00:56:59.880 --> 00:57:07.880
 And they kept speaking about it, speaking to each other about it, praying about it.

00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:09.880
 Does Christ live here?

00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:14.880
 And they began to understand what the minister had meant.

00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:21.880
 What he meant was, is Christ the sure foundation of this home?

00:57:21.880 --> 00:57:25.880
 And it's a question for us all.

00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:29.880
 They began to know the love of Christ through that question.

00:57:29.880 --> 00:57:32.880
 Does Christ live here?

00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:36.880
 And for ourselves, that's what's at the heart of this conclusion.

00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:39.880
 Does Christ live in your home?

00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:41.880
 Does he live in your heart?

00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:43.880
 Is he Lord?

00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:50.880
 If he is Lord, you will come, you will hear, and you will do.

00:57:50.880 --> 00:57:57.880
 And in doing, you will find that sure foundation.

00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:03.880
 That solid ground that is Christ as the rock of salvation.

00:58:03.880 --> 00:58:07.880
 The sermon conclusion is that.

00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:09.880
 Is he Lord?

00:58:09.880 --> 00:58:10.880
 Do you come?

00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:11.880
 Do you hear?

00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:12.880
 Do you hear?

00:58:12.880 --> 00:58:13.880
 Do you hear?

00:58:13.880 --> 00:58:14.880
 Do you do?

00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:15.880
 Do you hear?

00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:16.880
 Do you hear?

00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:22.880
 Because the difference at the end of the day is night and day.

00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:27.880
 Hell for eternity or heaven for eternity?

00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:30.880
 Is he Lord of all?

00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:31.880
 Is he Lord of all?

00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:33.880
 Or not Lord at all?

00:58:33.880 --> 00:58:42.880
 Are you standing on the sure foundation that is Christ as Lord of all?

00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:43.880
 Let us pray.

00:58:43.880 --> 00:58:44.880
 Let us pray.

00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:51.880
 Lord, our gracious God, we do pray to know the spirit working through these words.

00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:54.880
 That we would think of our own salvation.

00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:56.880
 That we would think of our own eternity.

00:58:56.880 --> 00:58:59.880
 That we would think of where Christ is in our heart.

00:58:59.880 --> 00:59:00.880
 Is he Lord of all?

00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:02.880
 Or is he not Lord at all?

00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:10.880
 And we pray, Lord, that you will help us to come and find that sure foundation that is coming, hearing and doing.

00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:13.880
 In the word that you have given to us.

00:59:13.880 --> 00:59:16.880
 Help us, Lord, we pray, in all of these things.

00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:18.880
 As we ask all with the forgiveness of our sins.

00:59:18.880 --> 00:59:19.880
 In Jesus' name.

00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:20.880
 Amen.

00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:28.880
 We're going to conclude by singing to God's praise in Psalm 18.

00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:35.880
 Let's sing Psalm's version on page 21 of the Psalm books.

00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:42.880
 Psalm 18 on page 21.

00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:45.880
 We're singing from verse 27 to 32.

00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:51.880
 You save the humble and the meek, but bring the proud down from their height.

00:59:51.880 --> 00:59:54.880
 You, Lord, will keep my lamp aflame.

00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:57.880
 God turns my darkness into light.

00:59:57.880 --> 01:00:01.880
 We'll sing from verse 27 to 32 to God's praise.

01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:03.880
 Amen.

01:00:03.880 --> 01:00:04.880
 Amen.

01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:05.880
 Amen.

01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:15.880
 You save the humble and the meek, but bring the proud down from their height.

01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:21.880
 You, Lord, will keep my lamp aflame.

01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:26.880
 God turns my darkness into light.

01:00:26.880 --> 01:00:39.320
 With help from God I can advance against our troop and rout them off.

01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:50.700
 And with the aid my God will give, I can leap over any wall.

01:00:51.300 --> 01:00:56.320
 I can leap over any wall.

01:00:56.880 --> 01:01:03.440
 For perfect is the way of God.

01:01:03.440 --> 01:01:09.340
 No flaw is found within his word.

01:01:09.860 --> 01:01:20.740
 To all who put their trust in him, a shield and refuge is the Lord.

01:01:20.739 --> 01:01:27.299
 For who is God except the Lord?

01:01:27.299 --> 01:01:39.299
 Besides our God who is the rock, he is the God who gives me strength.

01:01:39.300 --> 01:01:44.760
 And he perfects the path I walk.

01:01:44.760 --> 01:01:51.320
 And he perfects the path I walk.

01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:55.200
 After the benediction, I'll go to the door to my left.

01:01:55.320 --> 01:01:56.539
 We'll close with the benediction.

01:01:56.539 --> 01:02:06.400
 Now may grace, mercy and peace from God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit rest upon and abide with you all now and forevermore.

01:02:06.779 --> 01:02:07.139
 Amen.

01:02:07.139 --> 01:02:07.819
 Amen.

01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:07.819


01:02:07.819 --> 01:02:28.179
 Amen.

01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179


01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:28.179
