00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.500
 We're going to begin our worship this evening by singing to God's praise in Psalm 96a.

00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.279
 Sing Psalm's version, page 1 to 6 of the psalm books.

00:00:11.380 --> 00:00:14.620
 We're going to sing from verse 1 to verse 10.

00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:20.300
 Psalm 96a, the tune is Bloxam.

00:00:20.900 --> 00:00:21.740
 We sing from the beginning,

00:00:21.740 --> 00:00:27.320
 Sing a new song to the Lord, sing praises to his name and his salvation day by day,

00:00:27.379 --> 00:00:29.740
 let all the earth proclaim.

00:00:29.739 --> 00:00:33.939
 We sing from verse 1 to verse 10 to God's praise.

00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:35.140
 We stand to sing.

00:00:40.519 --> 00:00:53.519
 Oh, sing a new song to the Lord, sing praises to his name

00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:07.340
 and his salvation day by day, let all the earth proclaim.

00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:21.859
 His glory and his mighty deeds to every land declare.

00:01:21.859 --> 00:01:36.859
 How great and awesome is the Lord, with him no cross compare.

00:01:36.859 --> 00:01:53.759
 For other gods are wood and stone, the Lord made heaven's height.

00:01:53.760 --> 00:02:08.759
 All power and majesty are his, he dwells in glorious light.

00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:24.759
 All nations to the Lord, ascribe the glory that is due.

00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:40.759
 Glory and strength ascribe to God, and praise his name on you.

00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:56.759
 Enter his words with joy, and bring an offering with you.

00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:04.759
 Worship the Lord in holy faith.

00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:12.759
 All earth before them bow.

00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:27.759
 Tell everyone, the Lord is king, established is the earth.

00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:32.759
 And cannot move.

00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:43.759
 The Lord will judge the people's sin is true.

00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:44.759
 Amen.

00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:51.879
 Let's come to God in prayer.

00:03:51.959 --> 00:03:52.620
 Let us pray.

00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.759
 Lord, our gracious God, our Father in heaven,

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.919
 as we gather to unite our hearts and praise this evening hour,

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.599
 we thank you for the blessings of this day.

00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.739
 We thank you for your mercies in it.

00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:18.740
 Lord, we thank you for the joy that we have in worshiping you.

00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:21.579
 And even for the song, the psalm that we've sung,

00:04:21.660 --> 00:04:25.240
 it reminds us that you give us a new song to praise you,

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:26.400
 to praise your name.

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.220
 And we thank you that it's a song of salvation,

00:04:29.939 --> 00:04:32.720
 for you are the one alone who is able to save.

00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.879
 And we thank you for your ongoing work of salvation to your people.

00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.500
 That you are a God who continues to remember us

00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:43.879
 and to help us in all our different needs.

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.379
 That you are a God who reigns over the world

00:04:47.379 --> 00:04:50.620
 and calls the people of this world to come

00:04:50.620 --> 00:04:53.639
 and offer up glory and praise to you.

00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.540
 Tell every nation, tell every land,

00:04:56.719 --> 00:04:58.819
 the Lord is king, the psalmist says.

00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.879
 And we thank you that your word goes out with power

00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.259
 in so many different ways and places.

00:05:04.259 --> 00:05:07.599
 We thank you for all your people who serve you

00:05:07.599 --> 00:05:09.519
 in proclaiming the gospel,

00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.279
 in proclaiming it far and wide

00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.480
 to people of every tribe and tongue.

00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.240
 We thank you for all the gifts that you have given

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.139
 down through the generations to your people.

00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:25.459
 For as we hold your word in our hands this evening,

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.959
 as we have the holy scriptures before us,

00:05:29.579 --> 00:05:33.180
 we realize that it is through your great works of providence

00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:36.420
 and through your will and your gifts given to many

00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:37.720
 down through the generations

00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.780
 to translate and to print

00:05:40.780 --> 00:05:43.420
 and to make your word in a form

00:05:43.420 --> 00:05:46.540
 that is so unchanging and unchangeable.

00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:49.740
 And we thank you that your word is passed down

00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:52.780
 and that it's translated into so many different languages.

00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:55.000
 Even throughout the world today,

00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:57.620
 when we hear the numbers of languages

00:05:57.620 --> 00:06:01.060
 and forms that your word is translated into,

00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:01.699
 we marvel.

00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:05.019
 We marvel that there are so many

00:06:05.019 --> 00:06:06.639
 and we marvel that you are a God

00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:08.199
 who remembers each one

00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.139
 and longs for all to come to know you.

00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:13.860
 And so we pray for your power

00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:15.540
 and your glory to be seen

00:06:15.540 --> 00:06:18.300
 throughout our world and throughout our nations,

00:06:18.540 --> 00:06:20.620
 that we would remind ourselves,

00:06:20.780 --> 00:06:22.379
 as your word does so often,

00:06:22.379 --> 00:06:25.300
 that when we feel a sense of despair

00:06:25.300 --> 00:06:27.959
 and dejection in the day in which we live,

00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:30.639
 that there is nothing new under the sun.

00:06:31.420 --> 00:06:32.500
 There have been times,

00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.079
 even as we see in your word,

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.779
 that high points when your people

00:06:36.779 --> 00:06:38.480
 have been blessed so richly

00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.540
 and praised you so lovingly and so loudly.

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:43.680
 And yet there are other times

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.279
 when your people have turned away,

00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.579
 when they've turned to their own hearts

00:06:47.579 --> 00:06:48.779
 and to their own ways

00:06:48.779 --> 00:06:50.099
 and forgotten God.

00:06:50.659 --> 00:06:53.239
 And the warnings are there before us so often.

00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:55.119
 And we know today, Lord,

00:06:55.179 --> 00:06:56.259
 that we live in a day

00:06:56.259 --> 00:06:57.819
 when many do forget you,

00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.139
 where many choose to have nothing to do with you

00:07:01.139 --> 00:07:05.459
 and even to reject you in vehement ways.

00:07:05.919 --> 00:07:06.959
 Not just to reject,

00:07:07.099 --> 00:07:08.959
 but to persecute those who believe

00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.159
 and to seek to destroy

00:07:11.159 --> 00:07:13.959
 the Christian faith and the Christian church.

00:07:14.599 --> 00:07:15.859
 But we do thank you

00:07:15.859 --> 00:07:17.679
 that you are God and Lord,

00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.579
 head of the church,

00:07:19.699 --> 00:07:21.980
 that you have established

00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:23.579
 and that nothing can overcome.

00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:25.340
 We thank you that even,

00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:26.680
 as the word says,

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.139
 the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:30.780
 And so we thank you

00:07:30.780 --> 00:07:32.500
 that in this day in which we live,

00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:33.819
 we have these assurances,

00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:35.319
 these promises,

00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:37.560
 and these things that we can take

00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.040
 as confidence and hope

00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.540
 that you are building your church

00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:44.100
 upon the rock that is Jesus Christ.

00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:44.220
 Christ.

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:45.680
 And we thank you

00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.520
 that the gospel is founded in him,

00:07:50.020 --> 00:07:51.760
 that in him there is good news,

00:07:52.320 --> 00:07:53.720
 in him there is the one

00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.340
 who gives that assurance

00:07:55.340 --> 00:07:56.920
 of forgiveness for sin

00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:58.520
 as we put our trust in him,

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:00.540
 that he is the one

00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:02.820
 who gives the hope of eternal life,

00:08:03.540 --> 00:08:04.660
 that he is the one

00:08:04.660 --> 00:08:07.920
 who spoke to disciples long ago,

00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:09.560
 reminding them that he is the way,

00:08:09.700 --> 00:08:10.820
 the truth, and the life,

00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:13.000
 that there is no way to the Father

00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:13.879
 but by him.

00:08:14.599 --> 00:08:15.540
 And so we thank you

00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:17.800
 that that is still true to this day.

00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:19.399
 And may we know you

00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.319
 leading us in our worship this evening,

00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:23.240
 leading us into your truth,

00:08:23.379 --> 00:08:24.639
 leading us into your word,

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.300
 and helping us to hear

00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:27.860
 what you have to say to us,

00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:29.920
 helping us to be established

00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.399
 and grounded in your word

00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:32.299
 and in your truth

00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:34.399
 in a way that it doesn't just

00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:36.819
 impact us for a moment here,

00:08:37.439 --> 00:08:38.899
 but that it will go with us

00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:40.480
 into the rest of the week ahead.

00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:42.500
 That the word that we hear

00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:43.860
 will be a word that we are able

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:45.780
 to share and lean on

00:08:45.780 --> 00:08:48.240
 and rely upon in all the days

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.000
 of this week ahead, God willing.

00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:52.060
 That it will be your truth

00:08:52.060 --> 00:08:53.120
 that shapes us,

00:08:53.640 --> 00:08:54.820
 that gives us discernment,

00:08:54.920 --> 00:08:56.140
 that gives us willingness,

00:08:56.740 --> 00:08:58.700
 that gives us boldness and courage,

00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:00.560
 that gives us all that we need

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:01.900
 to live in this world

00:09:01.900 --> 00:09:04.120
 and to be the light of the gospel

00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:05.760
 among the people around us.

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:07.720
 And so we ask, O Lord,

00:09:07.800 --> 00:09:09.700
 that you will unite our hearts

00:09:09.700 --> 00:09:11.640
 and praise and worship this evening

00:09:11.640 --> 00:09:13.320
 and unite our hearts

00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:14.480
 in all that we seek to do

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:15.060
 in your name.

00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:17.040
 As we especially pray

00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:17.980
 for the week ahead,

00:09:18.060 --> 00:09:20.040
 we think of that meeting

00:09:20.040 --> 00:09:21.259
 on Wednesday evening,

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:22.840
 a congregational meeting,

00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:24.259
 and we just commit it to you

00:09:24.259 --> 00:09:27.560
 for your unifying presence

00:09:27.560 --> 00:09:28.960
 as we read in the bulletin

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:30.800
 for that to be in our midst

00:09:30.800 --> 00:09:31.720
 in these days.

00:09:32.280 --> 00:09:33.600
 That you would unite our hearts

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:34.780
 together in praise

00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:36.539
 and worship and prayer to you

00:09:36.539 --> 00:09:38.419
 as the one that we depend on

00:09:38.419 --> 00:09:39.419
 for all things.

00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:40.879
 And we pray, Lord,

00:09:40.939 --> 00:09:42.600
 for that spirit of oneness,

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.220
 spirit of encouragement,

00:09:45.059 --> 00:09:47.419
 spirit to look to you

00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:48.620
 that we might know you're leading

00:09:48.620 --> 00:09:49.459
 and your guidance

00:09:49.459 --> 00:09:50.879
 in all of these things

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.139
 as we appoint a vacancy committee,

00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:56.220
 as we seek to invite preachers

00:09:56.220 --> 00:09:57.879
 to come and minister here,

00:09:57.939 --> 00:10:00.439
 as we seek to call a minister,

00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:01.139
 God willing,

00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:03.620
 in the not-too-distant future.

00:10:04.259 --> 00:10:05.299
 We do pray, Lord,

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.699
 that your will be done

00:10:06.699 --> 00:10:08.340
 and that you would give us

00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:10.199
 your wisdom and your help in it.

00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:11.899
 And we thank you

00:10:11.899 --> 00:10:15.699
 that we have so many people here

00:10:15.699 --> 00:10:17.399
 who you use for your glory,

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.759
 that the work goes on day by day

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.720
 and week by week.

00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:22.220
 Among our young people,

00:10:22.299 --> 00:10:24.539
 we thank you for our Sunday school

00:10:24.539 --> 00:10:25.879
 and creche and tweenies

00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:26.840
 and Bible class.

00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.299
 We thank you for the youth fellowship.

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:30.539
 We thank you for the explorers.

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:32.299
 We thank you for the toddler group.

00:10:32.699 --> 00:10:34.100
 Thank you for all these ways

00:10:34.100 --> 00:10:36.279
 of coming alongside people,

00:10:36.419 --> 00:10:37.659
 especially our young people,

00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:38.439
 teaching them,

00:10:38.899 --> 00:10:40.159
 helping them along the way,

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.279
 guiding them in your truth

00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:43.179
 and in your word

00:10:43.179 --> 00:10:45.299
 to walk closely with you.

00:10:45.899 --> 00:10:46.960
 We do pray, Lord,

00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:48.860
 that our young people,

00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.480
 that they would seek you

00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:51.860
 in the days of their youth.

00:10:52.539 --> 00:10:54.259
 They seek you while you are to be found.

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.240
 Seek you while their hearts

00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:57.340
 are close to you

00:10:57.340 --> 00:10:58.559
 and tender to you.

00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:59.980
 Because we know, Lord,

00:10:59.980 --> 00:11:00.899
 we live in a world

00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:02.659
 filled with so many distractions,

00:11:02.940 --> 00:11:03.600
 so many things

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.180
 that will lead us away from you.

00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:06.320
 And so we pray

00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:07.320
 that you will guard them

00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:08.300
 and guard us all,

00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.420
 guard us in our hearts and minds

00:11:10.420 --> 00:11:11.320
 that we might know

00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.080
 your peace with us.

00:11:13.940 --> 00:11:14.879
 We pray, too,

00:11:15.019 --> 00:11:17.000
 for the Fridays at the Free

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:18.940
 and the over 55s.

00:11:18.940 --> 00:11:20.580
 We thank you for that meeting

00:11:20.580 --> 00:11:21.320
 last Friday

00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:22.000
 and, God willing,

00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:23.640
 the meeting of the Fridays

00:11:23.640 --> 00:11:24.980
 at the Free this coming week.

00:11:25.060 --> 00:11:26.660
 We thank you for all the encouragements

00:11:26.660 --> 00:11:27.120
 it gives

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.520
 and gathering in fellowship together

00:11:29.520 --> 00:11:30.140
 and gathering

00:11:30.140 --> 00:11:31.820
 to encourage one another

00:11:31.820 --> 00:11:33.940
 and to come alongside each other

00:11:33.940 --> 00:11:34.940
 in different ways.

00:11:35.520 --> 00:11:36.840
 We do pray your blessing

00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:38.320
 upon all that we do

00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:39.560
 to come alongside

00:11:39.560 --> 00:11:41.780
 in these times.

00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:43.100
 Above all,

00:11:43.140 --> 00:11:43.820
 we pray, Lord,

00:11:43.880 --> 00:11:45.100
 to see people coming,

00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.440
 to be under the gospel,

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:48.500
 to be curious,

00:11:48.660 --> 00:11:49.800
 to be asking questions,

00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:51.800
 to be exploring the Word

00:11:51.800 --> 00:11:53.640
 and seeing what it says to them.

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:54.960
 And we thank you

00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:56.920
 for the Thursday evening meetings

00:11:56.920 --> 00:11:58.120
 of the big questions.

00:11:58.820 --> 00:11:59.560
 We pray, Lord,

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:00.520
 that we will be encouraged

00:12:00.520 --> 00:12:01.720
 to invite people

00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:03.340
 to come along ourselves,

00:12:03.540 --> 00:12:04.880
 even to come and hear

00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:05.960
 and share

00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.680
 and experience together

00:12:08.680 --> 00:12:10.640
 the riches of your truth,

00:12:10.740 --> 00:12:12.100
 the riches of your Word,

00:12:12.640 --> 00:12:13.560
 and to be built up

00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:14.960
 in the faith through it.

00:12:15.540 --> 00:12:15.940
 So, Lord,

00:12:15.940 --> 00:12:17.220
 may you hear our prayers

00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:18.639
 for all of these things.

00:12:19.300 --> 00:12:20.600
 We ask, O Lord,

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:20.980
 too,

00:12:21.060 --> 00:12:21.800
 for your blessing

00:12:21.800 --> 00:12:23.940
 on the wider church.

00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:24.620
 We thank you

00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:26.639
 for those who you have called

00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:27.360
 into ministry

00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:28.960
 and those who are training in it.

00:12:29.540 --> 00:12:30.320
 We think tonight

00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:31.620
 of Scott and Fiona

00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:33.160
 as they have gone from us

00:12:33.160 --> 00:12:34.040
 to the congregation

00:12:34.040 --> 00:12:35.000
 of North Harris.

00:12:35.580 --> 00:12:36.320
 We pray for them

00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:36.920
 as they settle

00:12:36.920 --> 00:12:37.800
 into a new home

00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:38.540
 in Scalpy

00:12:38.540 --> 00:12:39.720
 and a new congregation

00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.019
 in Tarbert

00:12:41.019 --> 00:12:41.940
 and a new school

00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:42.740
 for the girls,

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:43.580
 for Katie Bell

00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:44.279
 and Lily May.

00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:46.160
 We pray that you will help them

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:46.899
 and be with them,

00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.139
 that you will help them

00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:50.059
 to find people around them

00:12:50.059 --> 00:12:51.219
 who will encourage them

00:12:51.219 --> 00:12:52.980
 and draw alongside them

00:12:52.980 --> 00:12:53.659
 and help them

00:12:53.659 --> 00:12:54.339
 along the way.

00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:55.519
 And we do pray

00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:56.259
 that you will continue

00:12:56.259 --> 00:12:57.500
 to bless Scott

00:12:57.500 --> 00:12:58.240
 and his training

00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.579
 and all others

00:12:59.579 --> 00:13:00.719
 who have started back

00:13:00.719 --> 00:13:01.379
 in the seminary

00:13:01.379 --> 00:13:03.379
 in these past weeks.

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:03.839
 O Lord,

00:13:03.899 --> 00:13:05.699
 we pray for those

00:13:05.699 --> 00:13:06.759
 who go on in their studies

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:07.959
 and those who are just beginning.

00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:09.620
 We pray to see

00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:11.079
 your hand upon them

00:13:11.079 --> 00:13:11.659
 for good

00:13:11.659 --> 00:13:13.279
 and for your blessing

00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:14.159
 over the seminary

00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:16.399
 and upon all the leaders there,

00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:17.139
 the lecturers

00:13:17.139 --> 00:13:18.360
 and the staff

00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:19.519
 and all who are involved

00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:21.379
 in the training process.

00:13:21.579 --> 00:13:21.699
 Lord,

00:13:21.779 --> 00:13:22.379
 may they know

00:13:22.379 --> 00:13:24.480
 your rich hand upon them.

00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:25.079
 May they know

00:13:25.079 --> 00:13:26.839
 your goodness to them.

00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.539
 We pray for our nation

00:13:29.539 --> 00:13:30.519
 and our world

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:31.779
 and our leaders

00:13:31.779 --> 00:13:33.419
 and all that we see around us

00:13:33.419 --> 00:13:34.699
 when there are so many challenges

00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:35.620
 since we hear

00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:37.759
 seemingly every day

00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.000
 of those who are seeking

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.040
 to find peace

00:13:40.040 --> 00:13:42.300
 and only finding trouble

00:13:42.300 --> 00:13:43.379
 and we hear of immigrants

00:13:43.379 --> 00:13:44.420
 crossing the channel

00:13:44.420 --> 00:13:46.620
 and so many lives being lost

00:13:46.620 --> 00:13:47.900
 and maybe turmoil

00:13:47.900 --> 00:13:49.259
 being experienced

00:13:49.259 --> 00:13:50.379
 by those who are trying

00:13:50.379 --> 00:13:51.259
 to get across

00:13:51.259 --> 00:13:52.480
 or escaping

00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.100
 and fleeing

00:13:53.100 --> 00:13:54.540
 so many different places.

00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:55.060
 Lord,

00:13:55.640 --> 00:13:56.259
 there are so many

00:13:56.259 --> 00:13:57.060
 of these crises

00:13:57.060 --> 00:13:58.240
 all around us.

00:13:58.920 --> 00:13:59.640
 There are troubles

00:13:59.640 --> 00:14:01.080
 every way we look

00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:01.960
 and Lord,

00:14:02.020 --> 00:14:02.580
 we just pray

00:14:02.580 --> 00:14:03.220
 have mercy,

00:14:03.379 --> 00:14:04.680
 have mercy upon us.

00:14:04.920 --> 00:14:05.900
 Remember us, Lord.

00:14:06.040 --> 00:14:07.620
 Come in your power.

00:14:07.820 --> 00:14:08.560
 Come in a day

00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:09.960
 of your power

00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:11.020
 into our midst

00:14:11.020 --> 00:14:12.460
 that your gospel

00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:13.240
 would flourish,

00:14:13.379 --> 00:14:14.220
 that your glory

00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:14.960
 would be seen

00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:16.259
 to all ends

00:14:16.259 --> 00:14:17.060
 of the earth.

00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:18.620
 How we need you, Lord,

00:14:18.680 --> 00:14:20.180
 and how we plead with you

00:14:20.180 --> 00:14:21.220
 to come.

00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:22.280
 So Lord,

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.360
 hear our prayers.

00:14:23.520 --> 00:14:24.400
 Continue with us

00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:25.259
 in all our needs

00:14:25.259 --> 00:14:26.740
 personally here

00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:27.379
 and collectively

00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:28.220
 as a people

00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:28.960
 in our homes

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:29.800
 and our families.

00:14:30.520 --> 00:14:31.259
 You know our needs

00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:31.980
 as we were thinking

00:14:31.980 --> 00:14:32.720
 this morning

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:33.879
 and we thank you

00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:34.740
 for the great comfort

00:14:34.740 --> 00:14:35.519
 that you are able

00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:36.100
 to give.

00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:37.139
 So comfort

00:14:37.139 --> 00:14:38.379
 all who need you

00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:39.939
 in so many different ways.

00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:41.379
 Hear our prayers.

00:14:41.539 --> 00:14:42.700
 Continue with us now

00:14:42.700 --> 00:14:44.080
 and help us to sing

00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:45.259
 to your glory.

00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:46.720
 Lift up our voices

00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:47.939
 to you in praise

00:14:47.939 --> 00:14:48.679
 and to have ears

00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:49.899
 to hear your word.

00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:50.980
 May we know

00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:52.340
 your spirit upon us

00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:53.220
 leading us

00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:54.419
 in all of these things.

00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:55.399
 We ask all

00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:56.620
 looking to our Lord

00:14:56.620 --> 00:14:57.299
 and Saviour,

00:14:57.439 --> 00:14:58.399
 Jesus Christ,

00:14:58.519 --> 00:14:59.460
 looking to forgiveness

00:14:59.460 --> 00:15:00.100
 in him

00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:01.220
 that we might know

00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:01.840
 his blessing

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.480
 in each of our lives.

00:15:03.660 --> 00:15:04.320
 We ask it

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:05.340
 in his precious name

00:15:05.340 --> 00:15:06.340
 and for his glory.

00:15:06.800 --> 00:15:07.120
 Amen.

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:11.399
 We'll continue

00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:12.620
 to worship God

00:15:12.620 --> 00:15:13.120
 and sing

00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:14.200
 to his praise.

00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:14.560
 This time

00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:15.620
 in Psalm 20

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:17.860
 in the Scottish Psalter,

00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:19.500
 page 224.

00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:28.500
 Psalm 20

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:30.139
 on page 224.

00:15:30.220 --> 00:15:30.940
 We're going to sing

00:15:30.940 --> 00:15:32.500
 from verse 3

00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:33.519
 down to the end

00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.720
 of the psalm.

00:15:34.779 --> 00:15:35.940
 The tune is Walsall.

00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:38.700
 Let him remember

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.559

 down to

00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:56.259

 Ye righteous in the Lord be done, in him do ye rejoice.

00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:30.820
 O ye that have my loving heart, for joy lift up your voice.

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:38.740
 We can turn back together to our reading in Deuteronomy chapter 10.

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:45.160
 We can look at verse 12 to verse 16 in particular together this evening.

00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:49.440
 Deuteronomy chapter 10 at verse 12.

00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:55.160
 And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you?

00:26:55.600 --> 00:27:03.420
 But to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:10.779
 and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good.

00:27:10.779 --> 00:27:17.279
 Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it.

00:27:17.980 --> 00:27:27.779
 Yet the Lord set his heart and love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day.

00:27:28.639 --> 00:27:39.599
 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart and be no longer stubborn, for the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords.

00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:40.480
 And so on.

00:27:43.439 --> 00:27:47.119
 I hope you all make it a priority at some point in the day.

00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:53.639
 I hope you start the day and end the day looking at the word of God, making it a priority to read your Bibles.

00:27:54.419 --> 00:27:56.039
 But how do you read it?

00:27:56.659 --> 00:27:58.699
 What approach do you take to it?

00:27:59.659 --> 00:28:03.139
 Are you one who just maybe sticks in the same kind of area?

00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.259
 Or do you like to read through it in a more ordinary manner?

00:28:06.259 --> 00:28:10.039
 Or maybe trying to start from the beginning and just read your way through it?

00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:14.980
 We can all have different ways of approaching how we read the word of God.

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:23.920
 Bishop J.C. Ryle, a bishop in England many years ago and a writer of many books, many books I'm sure that many of you are familiar with.

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:29.079
 Most homes will have his book on holiness or other ones like that.

00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:34.619
 Well, he once said that we must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:44.480
 That is how we are to approach reading our Bibles as men, women, boys and girls digging for hidden treasure.

00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:52.720
 With that sense of anticipation, that sense of longing that we're going to find something of riches in this word of God.

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:58.059
 We've thought about it as we've been looking at Habakkuk, digging for nuggets of gold in Habakkuk.

00:28:58.140 --> 00:29:03.779
 How in the midst of so many things that just leave people in dismay and disarray,

00:29:04.360 --> 00:29:09.539
 there are these nuggets, these precious nuggets of gold that give us a sense of encouragement.

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:14.579
 And God willing, we'll come back to Habakkuk next Sunday morning, all being well.

00:29:15.579 --> 00:29:21.720
 But when we come to read the word of God, we might be maybe more inclined to read the New Testament,

00:29:21.879 --> 00:29:25.799
 to go into the Gospels or the letters of Paul.

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:32.740
 Or maybe if we go into the Old Testament, we stick to maybe passages that we've been familiar with from a very young age.

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:39.759
 The stories like David and Goliath or Daniel and the Lion's Den or all these kinds of accounts that we read of,

00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:41.799
 we maybe become more selective.

00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:47.839
 Who has in their favorite books the book of Deuteronomy?

00:29:48.819 --> 00:29:55.019
 Is it a book that you keep going back to as a book that you think there's so much nuggets of gold in here

00:29:55.019 --> 00:29:58.140
 that I just long to go back to it and read it again and again?

00:29:58.140 --> 00:30:02.960
 It's not always a book maybe that stands out in our list of favorites.

00:30:03.320 --> 00:30:10.520
 And yet, as you go through the book of Deuteronomy, you find it's such an important book.

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:16.700
 An important book in the sense of the Old Testament, but also as you go into the New Testament.

00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:24.040
 What it's speaking about is so important, not just for Moses and his day, but for ourselves today.

00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:26.940
 There's so much we can learn from this book.

00:30:27.980 --> 00:30:32.220
 There's so much we see that has such great significance for us.

00:30:32.859 --> 00:30:37.159
 There's one commentator, one writer, one theologian called Gordon Wenham.

00:30:37.819 --> 00:30:41.559
 And he speaks of the significance of the book of Deuteronomy in this way.

00:30:41.700 --> 00:30:45.819
 He calls it the linchpin of the Old Testament.

00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:49.599
 So the linchpin is something that hinges things together.

00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:53.859
 Like a trailer has a linchpin that connects it to whatever's towing it.

00:30:54.259 --> 00:30:58.959
 So you've got this linchpin that makes sure that everything else is secure.

00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:02.240
 And he describes the book of Deuteronomy in that way.

00:31:02.339 --> 00:31:05.759
 It's like a linchpin that keeps things secure.

00:31:05.919 --> 00:31:13.139
 So what's come before it and what comes after it is held secure by what we read in the book of Deuteronomy.

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:15.839
 So why is it so important?

00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:19.699
 Why is it a book that we should be so interested in?

00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:27.459
 When you think about how often it's quoted in the New Testament, you maybe think, where do I see it quoted?

00:31:27.659 --> 00:31:35.799
 Well, alongside Genesis, Psalms, and the book of Isaiah, it is the most quoted book in the New Testament.

00:31:36.459 --> 00:31:41.240
 So again, that highlights for us that there is significance in this book of Deuteronomy.

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:47.000
 We're not putting it above other books, but we're just seeing that it's not a book we should ignore.

00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:55.980
 It's not a book we should think of just easily passing by it because you find so much riches in it.

00:31:56.779 --> 00:31:59.700
 And it's important hasn't waned.

00:31:59.700 --> 00:32:10.559
 It's still important for us today, just as much as it was, as Moses was with the children of Israel here, about to enter into the promised land.

00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:13.259
 They were on the border.

00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:16.480
 They were on the cusp of going into the promised land.

00:32:16.620 --> 00:32:18.799
 The Lord had brought them through the Exodus.

00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:22.340
 He had brought them out of Egypt through so many trials.

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:26.220
 And here they were about to go into the promised land.

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:34.000
 And what you find with the book of Deuteronomy is it begins and it ends with a reminder of God's covenant.

00:32:34.700 --> 00:32:37.460
 That's God's relationship with his people.

00:32:37.579 --> 00:32:41.160
 That God has promised many things to his people.

00:32:41.700 --> 00:32:46.640
 If you look in chapter 4, verse 31, there it said,

00:32:46.640 --> 00:33:01.060
 So there's that promise at the start.

00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:08.900
 And then if you jump forward to chapter 29, and just even looking at the heading of that chapter,

00:33:09.520 --> 00:33:12.259
 it's the covenant renewed in Moab.

00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:19.240
 You go through that chapter and it's a reminder of God's covenant that he made with Moses and with his people.

00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:25.680
 So you find the whole book has at its bookends, if you like, the covenant.

00:33:26.259 --> 00:33:29.859
 The reminder of God's promise to his people.

00:33:30.900 --> 00:33:34.599
 And so Moses is here preaching to the people.

00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:41.359
 He's reminding them as they're about to enter the promised land that their allegiance is to be to God.

00:33:41.859 --> 00:33:47.219
 Because they are going into a land that is full of so many other gods.

00:33:47.939 --> 00:33:55.079
 False gods, idols, temptations that they will be drawn away from worshipping God

00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:58.519
 and their allegiance going somewhere else.

00:33:59.819 --> 00:34:01.919
 What was the danger that they faced?

00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:08.220
 The danger was that they would forget the Lord their God.

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:12.280
 And that's the serious nature of this book.

00:34:12.539 --> 00:34:17.500
 That's what you see as the bookends with God showing his remembrance of his people

00:34:17.500 --> 00:34:19.300
 and his covenant love to them.

00:34:20.260 --> 00:34:25.300
 Within and in between that, there is this danger of the people forgetting God.

00:34:26.260 --> 00:34:27.840
 And you say, well, they wouldn't.

00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:30.099
 Surely they wouldn't forget God.

00:34:30.099 --> 00:34:32.679
 After all he's done for them.

00:34:33.299 --> 00:34:38.839
 After all he's done in taking them out of Egypt, through the wilderness, all these years,

00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:41.460
 and now on the border of the promised land,

00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:45.339
 and taking them into a land that's described as flowing with milk and honey,

00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:47.339
 riches and everything that they need.

00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:50.819
 Surely they wouldn't forget the Lord.

00:34:50.820 --> 00:34:58.100
 The warning rings in their ears in chapter 8, verse 11, 14, and 19.

00:34:58.820 --> 00:35:02.059
 There you see the warning go out so powerfully,

00:35:02.700 --> 00:35:04.100
 where Moses says,

00:35:04.240 --> 00:35:06.720
 Take care lest you forget the Lord your God

00:35:06.720 --> 00:35:13.120
 by not keeping his commandments and his rules and his statutes which I command you today.

00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:17.579
 It's this warning ringing in their ears.

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:21.859
 And yet, as are we.

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:26.099
 And we say to ourselves, well, we wouldn't forget the Lord.

00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:28.500
 We wouldn't forget his goodness to us.

00:35:28.539 --> 00:35:32.239
 We wouldn't forget the blessings of a Christian upbringing, a Christian home.

00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:36.139
 We wouldn't forget what he's saying to us through his word.

00:35:36.139 --> 00:35:38.679
 We would.

00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:40.239
 And we do.

00:35:41.179 --> 00:35:43.960
 That is the sad nature of who we are.

00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:46.779
 How quickly we forget the Lord.

00:35:46.859 --> 00:35:48.500
 Even as we go into this week ahead,

00:35:48.819 --> 00:35:51.420
 we might have that warning ringing in our ears.

00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:53.219
 Do not forget the Lord.

00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:55.719
 Maybe on Monday it's loud and clear.

00:35:55.819 --> 00:35:58.199
 On Tuesday it's just a little bit quieter.

00:35:58.779 --> 00:36:02.759
 By Wednesday we've just taken up by the rest of the ways of the world.

00:36:02.759 --> 00:36:05.179
 We forget about the Lord.

00:36:06.139 --> 00:36:08.379
 But as we come into chapter 10,

00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:11.239
 what we want to see together this evening,

00:36:11.299 --> 00:36:12.480
 as we look at this section,

00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:16.159
 verse 12 to verse 16, 17 there,

00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:21.379
 what we are reminded of is an insight of God's love to us.

00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:25.480
 And it comes about in this situation where,

00:36:26.019 --> 00:36:28.480
 as we read at the beginning of chapter 10,

00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:33.179
 the Lord is still remembering his people.

00:36:33.179 --> 00:36:35.500
 He gives the Ten Commandments to them,

00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:38.199
 despite, as you see in chapter 9,

00:36:38.279 --> 00:36:42.739
 the golden calf when they'd just turned their back on God so quickly,

00:36:43.500 --> 00:36:45.719
 that he still remembers them.

00:36:46.919 --> 00:36:47.659
 And in verse,

00:36:48.139 --> 00:36:48.919
 excuse me,

00:36:48.980 --> 00:36:50.039
 in verse 10

00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:52.440
 and verse 11 there,

00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:54.379
 you find that he's talking there about

00:36:54.379 --> 00:36:56.619
 still remembering and interceding

00:36:56.619 --> 00:36:58.259
 for his people.

00:36:58.260 --> 00:37:01.440
 Moses has prayed with God

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:02.780
 and the Lord listened to me,

00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:03.920
 it says in verse 10,

00:37:04.420 --> 00:37:06.680
 and the Lord was unwilling to destroy you.

00:37:07.100 --> 00:37:08.940
 There's that mercy you see there.

00:37:10.040 --> 00:37:11.000
 He's showing mercy

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:13.160
 in the midst of their disobedience,

00:37:13.240 --> 00:37:15.180
 in the midst of their forgetfulness.

00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:16.400
 He's still a God

00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:18.200
 who shows mercy.

00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:21.779
 And the Lord longs for his people

00:37:21.779 --> 00:37:25.159
 to come and trust in him.

00:37:26.059 --> 00:37:29.119
 And that's the call that goes out through this passage

00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:31.739
 to ourselves this evening as well.

00:37:33.539 --> 00:37:35.299
 To remember that God

00:37:35.299 --> 00:37:38.319
 is a God who could destroy us.

00:37:39.579 --> 00:37:41.159
 He could give us what we deserve,

00:37:41.259 --> 00:37:42.659
 what our sins deserve,

00:37:43.139 --> 00:37:43.879
 is death.

00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:46.160
 But he shows mercy.

00:37:47.140 --> 00:37:48.280
 And he gives time.

00:37:49.200 --> 00:37:51.960
 And he calls to us to come.

00:37:52.860 --> 00:37:56.619
 He shows us his great love towards us.

00:37:57.019 --> 00:37:59.360
 Through his son, Christ Jesus.

00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:03.079
 And in that love that he shows towards us,

00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:05.539
 he calls on us to love him

00:38:05.539 --> 00:38:08.579
 because he first loved us.

00:38:09.420 --> 00:38:11.559
 And so I want us to take these three things

00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:13.279
 from these verses as we look at them

00:38:13.279 --> 00:38:14.679
 together this evening.

00:38:15.619 --> 00:38:16.860
 As Moses is here

00:38:16.860 --> 00:38:18.360
 preaching to the people,

00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:19.599
 as he's ministering to them,

00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.380
 he's saying three things to them.

00:38:22.659 --> 00:38:24.000
 The first is he's giving them

00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:25.860
 what the Lord requires.

00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:27.400
 There's a requirement here.

00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:29.139
 If we want to know

00:38:29.139 --> 00:38:30.539
 the Lord's blessing,

00:38:30.659 --> 00:38:31.480
 there is a requirement.

00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:33.659
 And then secondly,

00:38:33.779 --> 00:38:34.900
 he gives them a reminder.

00:38:35.619 --> 00:38:38.039
 A reminder of his love.

00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:40.699
 And then the third thing that we see

00:38:40.699 --> 00:38:43.699
 is this calls for a response.

00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:45.659
 So we have a requirement,

00:38:45.820 --> 00:38:46.420
 a reminder,

00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:48.460
 and a response.

00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:51.559
 And the first thing we see

00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:54.059
 is a reminder.

00:38:56.420 --> 00:38:58.460
 In verse 12 there,

00:38:58.579 --> 00:39:00.340
 having reminded them

00:39:00.340 --> 00:39:02.219
 of how he has interceded

00:39:02.219 --> 00:39:03.039
 and how he has said,

00:39:03.179 --> 00:39:06.219
 the Lord was unwilling to destroy you,

00:39:06.219 --> 00:39:09.599
 he's showing God's love to them,

00:39:09.899 --> 00:39:11.719
 God's mercy to them.

00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:14.619
 And as you see God's mercy,

00:39:15.839 --> 00:39:19.000
 does that not demand a response?

00:39:20.579 --> 00:39:21.419
 Well, it does,

00:39:21.500 --> 00:39:22.339
 as you see here.

00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:24.139
 Because in verse 12,

00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:25.480
 Moses goes on and he says,

00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:26.779
 and now Israel,

00:39:26.919 --> 00:39:28.379
 now you people,

00:39:29.319 --> 00:39:30.379
 what does the Lord,

00:39:30.500 --> 00:39:31.319
 your God,

00:39:31.419 --> 00:39:33.279
 require of you?

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.019
 In light of his mercy,

00:39:36.219 --> 00:39:38.879
 in light of his sparing you,

00:39:39.219 --> 00:39:42.639
 what does he require of you?

00:39:43.899 --> 00:39:45.599
 And he goes on to give them the answer.

00:39:46.299 --> 00:39:46.779
 He says,

00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:48.919
 but to fear the Lord,

00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:49.579
 your God,

00:39:49.859 --> 00:39:51.719
 to walk in all his ways,

00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:52.879
 to love him,

00:39:53.359 --> 00:39:54.459
 to serve the Lord,

00:39:54.539 --> 00:39:54.959
 your God,

00:39:55.019 --> 00:39:55.899
 with all your heart

00:39:55.899 --> 00:39:57.000
 and with all your soul,

00:39:57.500 --> 00:39:58.819
 and to keep the commandments

00:39:58.819 --> 00:40:01.099
 and statutes of the Lord,

00:40:01.179 --> 00:40:03.399
 which I am commanding you today.

00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:06.300
 there is what the Lord,

00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:07.059
 your God,

00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:09.420
 requires of you.

00:40:10.300 --> 00:40:11.320
 And in many ways,

00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:12.460
 you could look at that list

00:40:12.460 --> 00:40:12.840
 and think,

00:40:13.660 --> 00:40:15.280
 there's an outward side

00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:16.500
 to that list.

00:40:17.160 --> 00:40:18.220
 To fear the Lord

00:40:18.220 --> 00:40:19.440
 is to show

00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:21.220
 an honor to God,

00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:22.139
 to recognize

00:40:22.139 --> 00:40:23.500
 who he is,

00:40:24.240 --> 00:40:26.180
 to walk in his ways,

00:40:26.900 --> 00:40:28.079
 to love him,

00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:29.539
 to serve him,

00:40:29.860 --> 00:40:31.119
 to keep his word.

00:40:31.739 --> 00:40:32.579
 And what you see

00:40:32.579 --> 00:40:33.739
 as you go through the scriptures

00:40:33.739 --> 00:40:34.980
 is that for people,

00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:36.360
 God's people

00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:37.480
 down through generations,

00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:39.340
 this can be an outward show.

00:40:39.340 --> 00:40:42.280
 But what he's warning here

00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:43.400
 is it's got to be more

00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:44.380
 than that.

00:40:45.420 --> 00:40:46.559
 It's got to be more

00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:48.500
 than just an outward show

00:40:48.500 --> 00:40:49.720
 of things.

00:40:50.420 --> 00:40:51.280
 And what he's getting at

00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:51.980
 in this section

00:40:51.980 --> 00:40:52.880
 is the heart.

00:40:54.120 --> 00:40:55.460
 And as we'll see later on,

00:40:55.700 --> 00:40:56.840
 it's the heart

00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:57.600
 that needs

00:40:57.600 --> 00:40:58.980
 to change.

00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:01.140
 And it's the heart

00:41:01.140 --> 00:41:02.100
 that needs to have

00:41:02.100 --> 00:41:03.220
 been impacted

00:41:03.220 --> 00:41:04.460
 by all of these things.

00:41:04.579 --> 00:41:05.559
 He requires of you

00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:06.340
 to fear the Lord,

00:41:06.420 --> 00:41:08.059
 not just outwardly,

00:41:08.059 --> 00:41:09.659
 but inwardly.

00:41:10.420 --> 00:41:11.599
 He requires of you

00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:12.860
 to love him,

00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:14.940
 not just in an outward showing,

00:41:15.380 --> 00:41:17.039
 but with all your heart

00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:17.759
 inwardly.

00:41:18.820 --> 00:41:19.900
 And your service

00:41:19.900 --> 00:41:20.920
 must come

00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:21.980
 from that loving

00:41:21.980 --> 00:41:23.299
 him inwardly.

00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:24.579
 Keeping his word

00:41:24.579 --> 00:41:25.179
 must be just

00:41:25.179 --> 00:41:26.679
 not to make people see it,

00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:28.139
 but because you love

00:41:28.139 --> 00:41:28.559
 the Lord

00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:29.659
 with all your heart,

00:41:29.739 --> 00:41:30.279
 you lay up

00:41:30.279 --> 00:41:31.179
 his word

00:41:31.179 --> 00:41:31.940
 in your heart.

00:41:33.019 --> 00:41:33.940
 And it's the goal

00:41:33.940 --> 00:41:35.400
 that you're searching for,

00:41:35.500 --> 00:41:36.639
 that you're searching

00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:37.239
 the scriptures

00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:37.880
 to see

00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:38.640
 Lord,

00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:40.079
 what do you want

00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:41.039
 of me?

00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:43.800
 Moses had been assigned

00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:44.420
 as the leader

00:41:44.420 --> 00:41:45.940
 of the people.

00:41:46.700 --> 00:41:47.640
 And if he was

00:41:47.640 --> 00:41:48.700
 to lead the people

00:41:48.700 --> 00:41:49.019
 well,

00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:50.440
 he was to be one

00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:51.599
 who lived in this way

00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:52.099
 as well.

00:41:52.240 --> 00:41:52.960
 And again,

00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:54.280
 not just outwardly,

00:41:54.619 --> 00:41:55.700
 but with all

00:41:55.700 --> 00:41:56.780
 his heart.

00:41:58.579 --> 00:41:59.640
 So what Moses

00:41:59.640 --> 00:42:00.500
 is saying here

00:42:00.500 --> 00:42:01.400
 to the people is,

00:42:02.099 --> 00:42:03.559
 don't look at me

00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:05.220
 as your leader.

00:42:05.720 --> 00:42:06.559
 Look to God.

00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:09.659
 fear the Lord.

00:42:10.799 --> 00:42:11.559
 Don't look to me

00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:12.199
 and love me,

00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:12.980
 Moses is saying.

00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:15.039
 Love God.

00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:18.059
 Don't look to me

00:42:18.059 --> 00:42:19.099
 and serve me.

00:42:20.259 --> 00:42:21.659
 Serve the Lord.

00:42:23.380 --> 00:42:24.320
 Don't look to me

00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:25.320
 and keep the words

00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:26.279
 that I am giving you.

00:42:27.019 --> 00:42:28.440
 It's the word of God.

00:42:29.579 --> 00:42:31.340
 Keep his word.

00:42:31.340 --> 00:42:33.720
 not doing anything

00:42:33.720 --> 00:42:34.460
 for man,

00:42:34.820 --> 00:42:35.640
 not doing anything

00:42:35.640 --> 00:42:37.000
 for an outward show

00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:38.100
 to anybody else,

00:42:38.500 --> 00:42:39.720
 but doing it

00:42:39.720 --> 00:42:40.720
 for the Lord.

00:42:41.720 --> 00:42:42.700
 Because you see

00:42:42.700 --> 00:42:43.340
 what the Lord

00:42:43.340 --> 00:42:44.440
 has done

00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:45.579
 for you.

00:42:46.720 --> 00:42:47.720
 Do you ever ask

00:42:47.720 --> 00:42:49.000
 yourself that question,

00:42:49.500 --> 00:42:50.559
 what does the Lord

00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:52.079
 require of me?

00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:54.159
 And maybe you've got

00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:55.440
 this list of things

00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:55.819
 that you think,

00:42:56.059 --> 00:42:57.340
 this is what would be good

00:42:57.340 --> 00:42:58.500
 before the Lord

00:42:58.500 --> 00:42:59.400
 for me to do.

00:43:00.380 --> 00:43:01.420
 And you'll do it

00:43:01.420 --> 00:43:03.299
 to suit yourself.

00:43:03.980 --> 00:43:04.819
 Because if you were

00:43:04.819 --> 00:43:05.480
 to actually do

00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:06.319
 everything that the Lord

00:43:06.319 --> 00:43:07.679
 requires of you,

00:43:08.340 --> 00:43:10.039
 it's a huge challenge.

00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:11.340
 Just think of what

00:43:11.340 --> 00:43:11.920
 he's saying there.

00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:12.739
 Fear the Lord,

00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:14.000
 walk in his ways,

00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:14.679
 love him,

00:43:15.059 --> 00:43:15.579
 serve him,

00:43:15.980 --> 00:43:16.880
 keep his word.

00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:18.779
 To do that

00:43:18.780 --> 00:43:21.000
 means it's difficult,

00:43:21.240 --> 00:43:22.080
 it's hard.

00:43:23.720 --> 00:43:24.440
 And you might say,

00:43:24.500 --> 00:43:25.760
 oh, this is just too much,

00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:26.360
 I'll just try

00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:27.320
 and do some of it.

00:43:28.040 --> 00:43:28.720
 And once you start

00:43:28.720 --> 00:43:29.180
 to just try

00:43:29.180 --> 00:43:30.120
 and do some of it,

00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:31.000
 then you start

00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:31.620
 to fall away

00:43:31.620 --> 00:43:32.740
 from the rest of it.

00:43:33.160 --> 00:43:33.640
 And then you just

00:43:33.640 --> 00:43:34.360
 fall back

00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:35.660
 into the old ways.

00:43:36.460 --> 00:43:37.260
 And then you realize

00:43:37.260 --> 00:43:37.780
 you're away

00:43:37.780 --> 00:43:38.820
 from God again.

00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:40.860
 We forget the Lord.

00:43:41.620 --> 00:43:42.720
 And that's the cycle

00:43:42.720 --> 00:43:43.360
 that you see

00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:44.440
 in Deuteronomy

00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:45.120
 as you go on

00:43:45.120 --> 00:43:46.120
 through the word of God.

00:43:46.200 --> 00:43:47.519
 It's that constant cycle

00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:48.200
 that you see.

00:43:48.780 --> 00:43:50.060
 Forget one

00:43:50.060 --> 00:43:51.140
 and it leads

00:43:51.140 --> 00:43:52.320
 to forgetting the rest.

00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:53.180
 It leads

00:43:53.180 --> 00:43:54.360
 to forgetting God.

00:43:55.920 --> 00:43:56.720
 So it's to be

00:43:56.720 --> 00:43:57.440
 our priority

00:43:57.440 --> 00:43:58.740
 to do all

00:43:58.740 --> 00:43:59.620
 of these things.

00:43:59.700 --> 00:44:00.780
 And not just outwardly

00:44:00.780 --> 00:44:02.200
 but inwardly

00:44:02.200 --> 00:44:02.860
 with all

00:44:02.860 --> 00:44:04.120
 our hearts.

00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:06.260
 There's a great example

00:44:06.260 --> 00:44:06.960
 in Scripture

00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:07.720
 for us.

00:44:08.120 --> 00:44:08.460
 If we're looking

00:44:08.460 --> 00:44:09.280
 for an example

00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:10.519
 and I was reading

00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:11.760
 this about David

00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:13.580
 in the Old Testament

00:44:13.580 --> 00:44:14.940
 in the book of Samuel.

00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:17.460
 There is a man

00:44:17.460 --> 00:44:18.480
 who is described

00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:19.820
 as a man

00:44:19.820 --> 00:44:20.740
 after God's

00:44:20.740 --> 00:44:21.760
 own heart.

00:44:22.780 --> 00:44:23.440
 He was a leader

00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:24.800
 who God chose

00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:26.280
 to lead his people

00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:26.960
 as well.

00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:28.659
 But what was

00:44:28.659 --> 00:44:29.380
 the qualities

00:44:29.380 --> 00:44:31.059
 that David had?

00:44:32.260 --> 00:44:32.900
 Well you could almost

00:44:32.900 --> 00:44:33.559
 say it was all

00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:34.159
 of these things.

00:44:34.240 --> 00:44:35.119
 He feared the Lord.

00:44:35.240 --> 00:44:36.240
 He walked in his ways.

00:44:36.340 --> 00:44:36.880
 He loved him.

00:44:36.940 --> 00:44:37.539
 He served him.

00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:38.579
 He kept his word.

00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:40.039
 That was when

00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:41.119
 David was strong.

00:44:42.720 --> 00:44:43.619
 Going back to maybe

00:44:43.619 --> 00:44:45.119
 our favorite passages

00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:46.400
 as we read in Scripture.

00:44:46.539 --> 00:44:47.299
 The ones we're familiar

00:44:47.299 --> 00:44:48.420
 with from a young age.

00:44:48.519 --> 00:44:49.319
 We know David

00:44:49.319 --> 00:44:50.039
 and Goliath

00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:50.920
 and that story

00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:52.259
 of how David

00:44:52.259 --> 00:44:53.699
 conquered this giant

00:44:53.699 --> 00:44:54.500
 Goliath.

00:44:55.339 --> 00:44:55.819
 But I was reading

00:44:55.819 --> 00:44:56.839
 about this this week

00:44:56.839 --> 00:44:57.259
 and it said

00:44:57.259 --> 00:44:58.539
 it's easy in the drama

00:44:58.539 --> 00:44:59.239
 of this event

00:44:59.239 --> 00:44:59.920
 that we miss

00:44:59.920 --> 00:45:01.099
 what David

00:45:01.099 --> 00:45:02.159
 was actually doing.

00:45:03.019 --> 00:45:03.859
 How he was fulfilling

00:45:03.859 --> 00:45:04.920
 these requirements.

00:45:06.139 --> 00:45:06.940
 How he didn't listen

00:45:06.940 --> 00:45:07.659
 to advice

00:45:07.659 --> 00:45:08.679
 of those around him

00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:09.839
 of he should do this

00:45:09.839 --> 00:45:10.779
 or he should do that.

00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:12.460
 That he listened

00:45:12.460 --> 00:45:13.320
 to God.

00:45:14.699 --> 00:45:15.480
 And it was this verse

00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:16.000
 that the writer

00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:16.960
 was focusing on

00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:18.720
 in verse 40

00:45:18.720 --> 00:45:20.579
 of 1 Samuel chapter 17

00:45:20.579 --> 00:45:21.119
 where you read

00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:21.740
 that account

00:45:21.740 --> 00:45:22.900
 of David and Goliath.

00:45:23.659 --> 00:45:24.820
 It says there

00:45:24.820 --> 00:45:25.599
 he chose

00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:27.980
 five smooth stones.

00:45:29.740 --> 00:45:30.740
 And you can easily

00:45:30.740 --> 00:45:31.840
 pass by

00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:33.119
 and think nothing

00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:33.659
 of that.

00:45:33.720 --> 00:45:34.139
 Or maybe

00:45:34.139 --> 00:45:35.460
 as some people

00:45:35.460 --> 00:45:35.740
 have done

00:45:35.740 --> 00:45:37.039
 you're asking questions

00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:38.900
 why five stones?

00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:39.960
 What did they represent?

00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:43.440
 Why more than one stone?

00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:45.579
 Surely you only needed

00:45:45.579 --> 00:45:47.480
 one to kill Goliath.

00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:49.119
 David was a man of faith.

00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:49.840
 Did he doubt

00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:50.400
 that God

00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:51.559
 would help him

00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:52.400
 in conquering

00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:54.639
 the giant Goliath?

00:45:56.679 --> 00:45:57.240
 Well

00:45:57.240 --> 00:45:59.179
 the writer pointed out

00:45:59.179 --> 00:45:59.500
 this

00:45:59.500 --> 00:46:00.380
 that later on

00:46:00.380 --> 00:46:01.599
 in 2 Samuel

00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:02.960
 chapter 21

00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:04.539
 verse 15

00:46:04.539 --> 00:46:05.300
 to 22

00:46:05.300 --> 00:46:07.420
 there it mentions

00:46:07.420 --> 00:46:08.559
 giants.

00:46:08.559 --> 00:46:10.739
 other giants.

00:46:11.500 --> 00:46:12.239
 And it mentions

00:46:12.239 --> 00:46:13.179
 at least four

00:46:13.179 --> 00:46:14.059
 there by name.

00:46:15.219 --> 00:46:16.199
 So Goliath

00:46:16.199 --> 00:46:17.239
 wasn't

00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:18.099
 the only

00:46:18.099 --> 00:46:18.920
 giant.

00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:20.719
 So he didn't

00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:21.219
 just choose

00:46:21.219 --> 00:46:22.239
 any stones.

00:46:22.460 --> 00:46:22.960
 He didn't just

00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:24.259
 choose the first ones

00:46:24.259 --> 00:46:26.000
 that he came across.

00:46:26.299 --> 00:46:27.460
 He knew what it was

00:46:27.460 --> 00:46:28.820
 to use a sling.

00:46:28.980 --> 00:46:29.920
 He knew what he needed

00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:30.880
 to make

00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:32.239
 an accurate shot.

00:46:33.139 --> 00:46:33.719
 And so he did

00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:35.000
 as he had always done.

00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:35.779
 He chose

00:46:35.779 --> 00:46:36.799
 the best.

00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:38.740
 the most suitable.

00:46:38.860 --> 00:46:39.240
 He didn't say

00:46:39.240 --> 00:46:39.740
 the Lord

00:46:39.740 --> 00:46:40.980
 is going to do it

00:46:40.980 --> 00:46:41.920
 for me anyway.

00:46:42.740 --> 00:46:43.860
 I'll just pick up

00:46:43.860 --> 00:46:45.240
 any jagged rocks.

00:46:46.600 --> 00:46:48.019
 He recognised

00:46:48.019 --> 00:46:48.640
 his own

00:46:48.640 --> 00:46:49.480
 responsibility.

00:46:50.300 --> 00:46:51.160
 And this is a point

00:46:51.160 --> 00:46:51.780
 that the writer

00:46:51.780 --> 00:46:52.680
 was getting at.

00:46:53.640 --> 00:46:54.080
 There was

00:46:54.080 --> 00:46:56.180
 our responsibility

00:46:56.180 --> 00:46:58.260
 and God's

00:46:58.260 --> 00:46:58.860
 divine

00:46:58.860 --> 00:46:59.900
 providence

00:46:59.900 --> 00:47:01.120
 in David's life.

00:47:02.720 --> 00:47:03.260
 And it was

00:47:03.260 --> 00:47:03.920
 the two

00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:04.800
 going

00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:05.700
 together.

00:47:06.500 --> 00:47:06.840
 It was

00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:07.600
 what the Lord

00:47:07.600 --> 00:47:08.640
 required

00:47:08.640 --> 00:47:10.120
 of David

00:47:10.120 --> 00:47:11.900
 to use

00:47:11.900 --> 00:47:12.480
 his common

00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:13.120
 sense

00:47:13.120 --> 00:47:14.120
 but to

00:47:14.120 --> 00:47:14.640
 trust

00:47:14.640 --> 00:47:15.900
 the Lord.

00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:17.320
 And as

00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:18.019
 Moses is

00:47:18.019 --> 00:47:18.680
 writing to

00:47:18.680 --> 00:47:19.300
 the people

00:47:19.300 --> 00:47:19.860
 here

00:47:19.860 --> 00:47:21.300
 as he is

00:47:21.300 --> 00:47:22.120
 teaching them

00:47:22.120 --> 00:47:22.500
 and as he is

00:47:22.500 --> 00:47:23.200
 teaching us

00:47:23.200 --> 00:47:23.920
 he's teaching us

00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:24.900
 these two things

00:47:24.900 --> 00:47:25.519
 as well.

00:47:25.700 --> 00:47:25.940
 Yes

00:47:25.940 --> 00:47:26.780
 we can

00:47:26.780 --> 00:47:27.820
 trust God

00:47:27.820 --> 00:47:29.380
 but it's not

00:47:29.380 --> 00:47:29.900
 a case of

00:47:29.900 --> 00:47:30.600
 well God's

00:47:30.600 --> 00:47:31.320
 going to do it

00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:31.720
 anyway.

00:47:31.860 --> 00:47:32.360
 It's not that

00:47:32.360 --> 00:47:32.880
 kind of

00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:33.500
 trust.

00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:34.200
 There's

00:47:34.200 --> 00:47:34.539
 our

00:47:34.539 --> 00:47:35.380
 responsibility

00:47:35.380 --> 00:47:36.240
 too and that's

00:47:36.240 --> 00:47:37.019
 the responsibility

00:47:37.019 --> 00:47:37.660
 here.

00:47:38.059 --> 00:47:38.380
 What does

00:47:38.380 --> 00:47:38.780
 the Lord

00:47:38.780 --> 00:47:39.559
 require of

00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:40.280
 you the same

00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:40.960
 as of David

00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:41.579
 to fear

00:47:41.579 --> 00:47:42.320
 the Lord

00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:42.840
 your God

00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:43.420
 to walk

00:47:43.420 --> 00:47:44.220
 in his ways

00:47:44.220 --> 00:47:45.200
 to love

00:47:45.200 --> 00:47:45.980
 him and serve

00:47:45.980 --> 00:47:46.860
 him and trust

00:47:46.860 --> 00:47:47.800
 his word.

00:47:49.059 --> 00:47:49.579
 That is what

00:47:49.579 --> 00:47:50.220
 required

00:47:50.220 --> 00:47:51.500
 of us.

00:47:51.620 --> 00:47:51.980
 The Lord

00:47:51.980 --> 00:47:52.480
 gives us

00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:53.160
 instruction

00:47:53.160 --> 00:47:54.340
 for a reason.

00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:54.900
 He gives us

00:47:54.900 --> 00:47:55.880
 commands for a

00:47:55.880 --> 00:47:56.240
 reason.

00:47:56.720 --> 00:47:57.559
 In verse 13

00:47:57.559 --> 00:47:58.460
 he says here

00:47:58.460 --> 00:47:59.000
 it's for

00:47:59.000 --> 00:47:59.840
 your good.

00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:01.240
 All of

00:48:01.240 --> 00:48:02.059
 these things

00:48:02.059 --> 00:48:03.200
 are for

00:48:03.200 --> 00:48:04.780
 your good.

00:48:05.620 --> 00:48:06.140
 In chapter

00:48:06.140 --> 00:48:07.760
 4, 5, 6

00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:08.480
 and 12

00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:09.539
 he's giving

00:48:09.539 --> 00:48:10.720
 instructions there

00:48:10.720 --> 00:48:11.480
 in these chapters

00:48:11.480 --> 00:48:12.240
 with the phrase

00:48:12.240 --> 00:48:13.200
 that it may

00:48:13.200 --> 00:48:13.960
 go well

00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:14.880
 with you.

00:48:15.640 --> 00:48:16.640
 It's the phrase

00:48:16.640 --> 00:48:17.220
 that keeps

00:48:17.220 --> 00:48:17.860
 coming up.

00:48:18.860 --> 00:48:19.380
 So we have

00:48:19.380 --> 00:48:20.480
 requirements in

00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:20.900
 life.

00:48:21.660 --> 00:48:22.280
 They are for

00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:23.300
 our good

00:48:23.300 --> 00:48:23.820
 that it may

00:48:23.820 --> 00:48:24.460
 go well

00:48:24.460 --> 00:48:25.539
 with you.

00:48:26.260 --> 00:48:27.000
 The question

00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:27.460
 is

00:48:27.460 --> 00:48:28.579
 are we

00:48:28.579 --> 00:48:29.079
 fulfilling

00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:29.400
 them?

00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:31.180
 Are we

00:48:31.180 --> 00:48:32.620
 listening to

00:48:32.620 --> 00:48:34.500
 the requirements

00:48:34.500 --> 00:48:34.920
 that the

00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:35.780
 Lord gives?

00:48:36.660 --> 00:48:37.000
 Are we

00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:37.519
 choosing to

00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:38.100
 ignore them

00:48:38.100 --> 00:48:38.519
 and push

00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:38.940
 them away

00:48:38.940 --> 00:48:39.720
 and forgetting

00:48:39.720 --> 00:48:40.960
 the Lord?

00:48:42.160 --> 00:48:42.960
 We want

00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:43.440
 to do

00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:44.180
 as the

00:48:44.180 --> 00:48:45.120
 Lord requires.

00:48:46.600 --> 00:48:46.940
 We want

00:48:46.940 --> 00:48:47.360
 to love

00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:48.240
 him with

00:48:48.240 --> 00:48:48.700
 all our

00:48:48.700 --> 00:48:49.180
 hearts.

00:48:50.340 --> 00:48:50.640
 And the

00:48:50.640 --> 00:48:51.000
 second thing

00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:51.360
 we see

00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:51.820
 here is a

00:48:51.820 --> 00:48:52.360
 reminder.

00:48:53.740 --> 00:48:54.260
 A

00:48:54.260 --> 00:48:54.800
 reminder

00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:56.019
 in verse

00:48:56.019 --> 00:48:56.840
 15.

00:48:56.840 --> 00:48:56.880
 15.

00:48:56.880 --> 00:49:00.980
 yet it

00:49:00.980 --> 00:49:01.700
 says there

00:49:01.700 --> 00:49:02.700
 the

00:49:02.700 --> 00:49:03.119
 Lord

00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:03.619
 set

00:49:03.619 --> 00:49:03.860
 his

00:49:03.860 --> 00:49:04.300
 heart

00:49:04.300 --> 00:49:05.059
 in

00:49:05.059 --> 00:49:05.480
 love

00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:05.780
 on

00:49:05.780 --> 00:49:05.980
 your

00:49:05.980 --> 00:49:06.640
 fathers.

00:49:07.640 --> 00:49:07.900
 And what's

00:49:07.900 --> 00:49:08.180
 interesting

00:49:08.180 --> 00:49:08.500
 about this

00:49:08.500 --> 00:49:08.900
 is what

00:49:08.900 --> 00:49:09.760
 comes in

00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:10.480
 verse 14

00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:10.920
 as well.

00:49:11.039 --> 00:49:11.480
 It says

00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:12.800
 he's commanding

00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:13.240
 these things

00:49:13.240 --> 00:49:13.539
 for your

00:49:13.539 --> 00:49:13.740
 good.

00:49:13.739 --> 00:49:14.459
 behold

00:49:14.459 --> 00:49:15.979
 to the

00:49:15.979 --> 00:49:16.619
 Lord your

00:49:16.619 --> 00:49:17.000
 God

00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:17.359
 belong

00:49:17.359 --> 00:49:17.819

 and the

00:49:18.500 --> 00:49:18.879
 heavens

00:49:18.879 --> 00:49:19.459
 of heavens

00:49:19.459 --> 00:49:20.079
 the earth

00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:21.059
 with all

00:49:21.059 --> 00:49:21.359
 that is

00:49:21.359 --> 00:49:21.679
 in it.

00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:22.419
 The Lord

00:49:22.419 --> 00:49:22.819
 has it

00:49:22.819 --> 00:49:23.179
 all

00:49:23.179 --> 00:49:24.839
 but yet

00:49:24.839 --> 00:49:26.000
 the Lord

00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:26.539
 set his

00:49:26.539 --> 00:49:26.879
 heart

00:49:26.879 --> 00:49:27.439
 and love

00:49:27.439 --> 00:49:28.479
 on your

00:49:28.479 --> 00:49:29.119
 fathers

00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:30.319
 and chose

00:49:30.319 --> 00:49:30.919
 their offspring

00:49:30.919 --> 00:49:31.519
 after them

00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:32.719
 you above

00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:33.979
 all peoples

00:49:33.979 --> 00:49:35.039
 as you are

00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:35.719
 this day.

00:49:35.719 --> 00:49:37.859
 there's a

00:49:37.859 --> 00:49:38.239
 powerful

00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:38.879
 reminder

00:49:38.879 --> 00:49:39.319
 there

00:49:39.319 --> 00:49:40.399
 of the

00:49:40.399 --> 00:49:40.799
 love

00:49:40.799 --> 00:49:42.099
 of God.

00:49:43.339 --> 00:49:44.219
 The power

00:49:44.219 --> 00:49:44.719
 of God

00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:45.279
 is seen

00:49:45.279 --> 00:49:46.839
 in these

00:49:46.839 --> 00:49:47.159
 verses

00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:47.699
 in verse

00:49:47.699 --> 00:49:48.619
 14.

00:49:48.779 --> 00:49:49.139
 The Lord

00:49:49.139 --> 00:49:49.539
 your God

00:49:49.539 --> 00:49:49.839

00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:51.199

00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:51.719
 the earth

00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:52.879
 and all

00:49:52.879 --> 00:49:53.219
 that is

00:49:53.219 --> 00:49:53.679
 in them.

00:49:54.500 --> 00:49:54.959
 He is a

00:49:54.959 --> 00:49:55.519
 powerful

00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:56.119
 God.

00:49:56.819 --> 00:49:57.019
 He has

00:49:57.019 --> 00:49:57.500
 everything

00:49:57.500 --> 00:49:57.839
 in his

00:49:57.839 --> 00:49:58.379
 hands.

00:49:58.819 --> 00:49:59.019
 As we

00:49:59.019 --> 00:49:59.559
 sang in

00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:00.379
 Psalm 96

00:50:00.379 --> 00:50:00.980
 great is

00:50:00.980 --> 00:50:01.459
 the Lord

00:50:01.459 --> 00:50:02.559
 and greatly

00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:02.980
 to be

00:50:02.980 --> 00:50:03.539
 praised.

00:50:04.439 --> 00:50:04.739
 God

00:50:04.739 --> 00:50:05.079
 is an

00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:05.519
 awesome

00:50:05.519 --> 00:50:06.099
 God.

00:50:07.419 --> 00:50:07.719
 But in

00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:08.199
 the midst

00:50:08.199 --> 00:50:08.679
 of this

00:50:08.679 --> 00:50:09.159
 majesty

00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:09.539
 and this

00:50:09.539 --> 00:50:10.019
 power

00:50:10.019 --> 00:50:11.219
 in verse

00:50:11.219 --> 00:50:11.779
 15

00:50:11.779 --> 00:50:12.699
 yet the

00:50:12.699 --> 00:50:13.019
 Lord

00:50:13.019 --> 00:50:14.079
 set his

00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:14.559
 heart

00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:15.699
 in love

00:50:15.699 --> 00:50:16.879
 on you

00:50:16.879 --> 00:50:17.619
 your fathers

00:50:17.619 --> 00:50:18.659
 and on

00:50:18.659 --> 00:50:19.000
 you.

00:50:20.979 --> 00:50:21.699
 So he's

00:50:21.699 --> 00:50:22.159
 asking and

00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:22.379
 there's a

00:50:22.379 --> 00:50:22.879
 challenge

00:50:22.879 --> 00:50:23.179
 there.

00:50:23.859 --> 00:50:24.500
 What does

00:50:24.500 --> 00:50:24.779
 the Lord

00:50:24.779 --> 00:50:25.399
 require of

00:50:25.399 --> 00:50:25.559
 you?

00:50:25.659 --> 00:50:26.019
 How is

00:50:26.019 --> 00:50:26.719
 your heart?

00:50:27.259 --> 00:50:27.719
 Well here's

00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:28.239
 a reminder

00:50:28.239 --> 00:50:28.939
 of God's

00:50:28.939 --> 00:50:29.479
 heart to

00:50:29.479 --> 00:50:30.259
 his people.

00:50:30.879 --> 00:50:31.359
 The Lord

00:50:31.359 --> 00:50:32.000
 has set

00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:32.739
 his heart

00:50:32.739 --> 00:50:34.019
 in love

00:50:34.019 --> 00:50:35.500
 on you.

00:50:38.219 --> 00:50:39.099
 With such

00:50:39.099 --> 00:50:39.699
 care and

00:50:39.699 --> 00:50:40.280
 attention

00:50:40.280 --> 00:50:41.000
 given to

00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:41.440
 us,

00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:42.780
 how could

00:50:42.780 --> 00:50:43.360
 we forget

00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:43.860
 the Lord?

00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:45.219
 How could

00:50:45.219 --> 00:50:45.940
 we possibly

00:50:45.940 --> 00:50:46.759
 forget the

00:50:46.759 --> 00:50:47.099
 Lord?

00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:48.199
 The Lord

00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:48.500
 who has

00:50:48.500 --> 00:50:49.259
 power over

00:50:49.259 --> 00:50:49.900
 all things

00:50:49.900 --> 00:50:50.259
 yet has

00:50:50.259 --> 00:50:50.780
 set his

00:50:50.780 --> 00:50:51.159
 heart

00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:52.079
 on his

00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:52.579
 people.

00:50:54.579 --> 00:50:55.480
 You think

00:50:55.480 --> 00:50:55.800
 of the

00:50:55.800 --> 00:50:56.259
 kind of

00:50:56.259 --> 00:50:57.259
 ways that

00:50:57.259 --> 00:50:57.840
 people can

00:50:57.840 --> 00:50:58.519
 feel there

00:50:58.519 --> 00:50:59.119
 to come

00:50:59.119 --> 00:51:00.179
 and worship

00:51:00.179 --> 00:51:01.000
 God.

00:51:02.139 --> 00:51:02.639
 People are

00:51:02.639 --> 00:51:03.259
 called to

00:51:03.260 --> 00:51:03.820
 follow and

00:51:03.820 --> 00:51:04.600
 worship God.

00:51:05.580 --> 00:51:06.040
 Sometimes

00:51:06.040 --> 00:51:06.620
 it's out of

00:51:06.620 --> 00:51:07.160
 a sense

00:51:07.160 --> 00:51:08.100
 of guilt.

00:51:09.220 --> 00:51:09.660
 Is that

00:51:09.660 --> 00:51:10.280
 really going

00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:10.700
 to make

00:51:10.700 --> 00:51:11.300
 us worship

00:51:11.300 --> 00:51:11.900
 God?

00:51:13.580 --> 00:51:14.080
 Other

00:51:14.080 --> 00:51:14.840
 times it's

00:51:14.840 --> 00:51:15.240
 almost when

00:51:15.240 --> 00:51:15.700
 you feel

00:51:15.700 --> 00:51:16.660
 that God

00:51:16.660 --> 00:51:17.700
 is dictating

00:51:17.700 --> 00:51:18.160
 to us

00:51:18.160 --> 00:51:18.400
 that we

00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:19.600
 must love

00:51:19.600 --> 00:51:19.800
 him.

00:51:19.860 --> 00:51:20.180
 Is that

00:51:20.180 --> 00:51:20.760
 how God

00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:21.740
 wants us

00:51:21.740 --> 00:51:22.360
 to worship

00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:22.800
 him?

00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:24.380
 It's like

00:51:24.380 --> 00:51:24.760
 thinking of

00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:25.500
 an arranged

00:51:25.500 --> 00:51:26.100
 marriage where

00:51:26.100 --> 00:51:27.300
 someone doesn't

00:51:27.300 --> 00:51:28.040
 want to go

00:51:28.040 --> 00:51:28.380
 in it but

00:51:28.380 --> 00:51:29.060
 they're terrified

00:51:29.060 --> 00:51:29.620
 and yet they're

00:51:29.620 --> 00:51:30.480
 forced to marry

00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:31.480
 someone they

00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:32.240
 don't love.

00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:33.259
 But that's

00:51:33.259 --> 00:51:33.719
 not the

00:51:33.719 --> 00:51:34.339
 way God

00:51:34.339 --> 00:51:35.099
 has a

00:51:35.099 --> 00:51:35.759
 relationship

00:51:35.759 --> 00:51:36.599
 with us.

00:51:38.419 --> 00:51:38.939
 Remember

00:51:38.939 --> 00:51:39.839
 the covenant

00:51:39.839 --> 00:51:40.139
 at the

00:51:40.139 --> 00:51:40.679
 beginning and

00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:41.119
 the end

00:51:41.119 --> 00:51:41.599
 how he has

00:51:41.599 --> 00:51:42.559
 not forgotten

00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:43.439
 his people

00:51:43.439 --> 00:51:44.679
 and here in

00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:45.059
 the midst

00:51:45.059 --> 00:51:45.500
 of even

00:51:45.500 --> 00:51:46.459
 their turning

00:51:46.459 --> 00:51:47.159
 away from

00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:47.439
 him with

00:51:47.439 --> 00:51:48.000
 a golden

00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:48.719
 calf in

00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:49.479
 chapter 9

00:51:49.479 --> 00:51:50.619
 how Moses

00:51:50.619 --> 00:51:51.219
 has come

00:51:51.219 --> 00:51:52.239
 and he's

00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:52.739
 had this

00:51:52.739 --> 00:51:53.359
 promise the

00:51:53.359 --> 00:51:53.779
 Lord is

00:51:53.779 --> 00:51:54.439
 unwilling to

00:51:54.439 --> 00:51:55.459
 destroy you

00:51:55.459 --> 00:51:57.219
 and then you

00:51:57.219 --> 00:51:57.779
 have this

00:51:57.779 --> 00:51:58.799
 in verse 15

00:51:58.800 --> 00:51:59.200
 yet the

00:51:59.200 --> 00:51:59.960
 Lord set

00:51:59.960 --> 00:52:00.580
 his heart

00:52:00.580 --> 00:52:01.539
 in love

00:52:01.539 --> 00:52:02.300
 on you.

00:52:04.600 --> 00:52:04.880
 Is there

00:52:04.880 --> 00:52:05.220
 not a

00:52:05.220 --> 00:52:06.120
 reason there

00:52:06.120 --> 00:52:07.240
 to love

00:52:07.240 --> 00:52:07.600
 him?

00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:09.800
 Because he

00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:11.160
 loves us

00:52:11.160 --> 00:52:12.600
 with such

00:52:12.600 --> 00:52:13.460
 a powerful

00:52:13.460 --> 00:52:14.480
 love.

00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:17.920
 We see

00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:18.940
 who he

00:52:18.940 --> 00:52:20.080
 is and

00:52:20.080 --> 00:52:20.580
 we see

00:52:20.580 --> 00:52:21.260
 what he

00:52:21.260 --> 00:52:21.900
 has done

00:52:21.900 --> 00:52:22.380
 for us.

00:52:22.420 --> 00:52:22.840
 A love

00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:23.519
 that has

00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:24.160
 remembered

00:52:24.160 --> 00:52:24.640
 us.

00:52:24.820 --> 00:52:25.380
 A remembering

00:52:25.380 --> 00:52:25.920
 love that

00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:26.280
 we see

00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:26.579
 in the

00:52:26.579 --> 00:52:26.940
 cross.

00:52:27.019 --> 00:52:27.539
 A remembering

00:52:27.539 --> 00:52:28.519
 love that

00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:29.000
 does not

00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:29.500
 let us

00:52:29.500 --> 00:52:29.920
 go.

00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:31.139
 A love

00:52:31.139 --> 00:52:31.460
 that as

00:52:31.460 --> 00:52:31.639
 we were

00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:31.980
 looking at

00:52:31.980 --> 00:52:32.559
 this morning

00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:33.400
 a love

00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:34.420
 that comforts

00:52:34.420 --> 00:52:34.800
 us in

00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:35.440
 all our

00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:35.880
 different

00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:36.420
 needs.

00:52:37.579 --> 00:52:37.920
 And that

00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:38.519
 is a love

00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:39.180
 that he

00:52:39.180 --> 00:52:39.760
 has for

00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:40.599
 his people.

00:52:41.260 --> 00:52:41.639
 And not

00:52:41.639 --> 00:52:42.079
 just the

00:52:42.079 --> 00:52:42.619
 children of

00:52:42.619 --> 00:52:43.579
 Israel here

00:52:43.579 --> 00:52:44.599
 because we

00:52:44.599 --> 00:52:45.860
 become his

00:52:45.860 --> 00:52:46.460
 people.

00:52:47.780 --> 00:52:48.440
 Peter makes

00:52:48.440 --> 00:52:49.059
 that clear

00:52:49.059 --> 00:52:49.360
 in his

00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:50.119
 first letter

00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:51.260
 as he's

00:52:51.260 --> 00:52:51.740
 writing to

00:52:51.740 --> 00:52:52.180
 the people

00:52:52.180 --> 00:52:54.200
 in 1 Peter

00:52:54.200 --> 00:52:54.960
 chapter 2

00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:55.400
 he says

00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:56.380
 you are

00:52:56.380 --> 00:52:57.160
 a chosen

00:52:57.160 --> 00:52:57.700
 people

00:52:57.700 --> 00:52:58.320
 a royal

00:52:58.320 --> 00:52:58.940
 priesthood

00:52:58.940 --> 00:52:59.519
 a holy

00:52:59.519 --> 00:52:59.900
 nation

00:52:59.900 --> 00:53:00.720
 a people

00:53:00.720 --> 00:53:01.360
 belonging

00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:02.019
 to God

00:53:02.019 --> 00:53:02.340
 that you

00:53:02.340 --> 00:53:03.019
 may declare

00:53:03.019 --> 00:53:03.820
 the praises

00:53:03.820 --> 00:53:04.360
 of him

00:53:04.360 --> 00:53:05.300
 who called

00:53:05.300 --> 00:53:05.780
 you out

00:53:05.780 --> 00:53:06.360
 of darkness

00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:06.960
 into his

00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:07.639
 wonderful

00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:08.780
 light.

00:53:10.079 --> 00:53:10.440
 You are

00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:11.160
 his people

00:53:11.160 --> 00:53:11.840
 when he

00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:12.260
 has done

00:53:12.260 --> 00:53:12.820
 that for

00:53:12.820 --> 00:53:13.019
 you.

00:53:13.059 --> 00:53:13.200
 When he

00:53:13.200 --> 00:53:13.700
 has taken

00:53:13.700 --> 00:53:14.200
 you and

00:53:14.200 --> 00:53:14.740
 called you

00:53:14.740 --> 00:53:15.180
 out of his

00:53:15.180 --> 00:53:15.619
 darkness

00:53:15.619 --> 00:53:17.180
 into his

00:53:17.180 --> 00:53:17.780
 marvelous

00:53:17.780 --> 00:53:18.260
 light.

00:53:18.700 --> 00:53:19.059
 Peter goes

00:53:19.059 --> 00:53:19.579
 on to say

00:53:19.579 --> 00:53:20.700
 once you

00:53:20.700 --> 00:53:21.200
 were not

00:53:21.200 --> 00:53:21.760
 a people

00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:22.320
 but now

00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:22.619
 you are

00:53:22.619 --> 00:53:23.200
 the people

00:53:23.200 --> 00:53:23.840
 of God

00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:24.680
 once you

00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:25.119
 had not

00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:25.579
 received

00:53:25.579 --> 00:53:25.879
 mercy

00:53:25.879 --> 00:53:26.579
 but now

00:53:26.579 --> 00:53:27.739
 you have

00:53:27.739 --> 00:53:28.599
 received

00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:29.339
 mercy.

00:53:30.500 --> 00:53:31.239
 The mercy

00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:32.739
 of God

00:53:32.739 --> 00:53:33.559
 and the

00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:34.460
 love that

00:53:34.460 --> 00:53:35.219
 he has shown

00:53:35.219 --> 00:53:36.000
 to us

00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:36.940
 through Jesus

00:53:36.940 --> 00:53:37.659
 Christ.

00:53:38.659 --> 00:53:39.559
 What a wonder

00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:41.460
 of that love.

00:53:42.500 --> 00:53:43.440
 What a power

00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:44.500
 there is

00:53:44.500 --> 00:53:45.839
 in that love.

00:53:45.940 --> 00:53:46.739
 As the hymn writer

00:53:46.739 --> 00:53:47.219
 says,

00:53:47.319 --> 00:53:47.839
 how deep

00:53:47.839 --> 00:53:49.059
 the Father's

00:53:49.059 --> 00:53:50.179
 love for us,

00:53:50.239 --> 00:53:50.980
 how vast

00:53:50.980 --> 00:53:52.339
 beyond all

00:53:52.339 --> 00:53:52.759
 measure,

00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:53.680
 that he

00:53:53.680 --> 00:53:54.380
 should give

00:53:54.380 --> 00:53:55.060
 his only

00:53:55.060 --> 00:53:55.760
 son to

00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:56.380
 make a

00:53:56.380 --> 00:53:56.760
 wretch

00:53:56.760 --> 00:53:57.040
 his

00:53:57.040 --> 00:53:57.460
 treasure.

00:53:58.140 --> 00:53:58.560
 Why

00:53:58.560 --> 00:53:59.240
 should I

00:53:59.240 --> 00:53:59.740
 gain

00:53:59.740 --> 00:54:00.800
 from his

00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:01.380
 reward?

00:54:01.640 --> 00:54:02.360
 I cannot

00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:02.960
 give an

00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:03.360
 answer,

00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:04.620
 but this

00:54:04.620 --> 00:54:05.020
 I know

00:54:05.020 --> 00:54:05.640
 with all

00:54:05.640 --> 00:54:06.400
 my heart,

00:54:06.820 --> 00:54:07.680
 his wounds

00:54:07.680 --> 00:54:08.820
 have paid

00:54:08.820 --> 00:54:09.980
 my ransom.

00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:11.640
 How deep

00:54:11.640 --> 00:54:13.040
 the Father's

00:54:13.040 --> 00:54:13.620
 love.

00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:14.800
 And that's

00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:15.300
 the love

00:54:15.300 --> 00:54:15.960
 that we see

00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:17.100
 here in

00:54:17.100 --> 00:54:17.980
 verse 15,

00:54:18.080 --> 00:54:18.520
 that in the

00:54:18.520 --> 00:54:19.260
 midst of their

00:54:19.260 --> 00:54:20.160
 disobedience,

00:54:20.520 --> 00:54:21.360
 in the midst

00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:21.820
 of their

00:54:21.820 --> 00:54:22.720
 turning away,

00:54:23.140 --> 00:54:24.099
 yet the

00:54:24.099 --> 00:54:25.220
 Lord set

00:54:25.220 --> 00:54:25.900
 his heart

00:54:25.900 --> 00:54:26.440
 and love

00:54:26.440 --> 00:54:27.200
 on your

00:54:27.200 --> 00:54:28.559
 fathers and

00:54:28.559 --> 00:54:29.120
 chose their

00:54:29.120 --> 00:54:30.039
 offspring after

00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:30.480
 them, you

00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:31.280
 above all

00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:33.120
 people, as

00:54:33.120 --> 00:54:34.280
 you are

00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:35.559
 this day.

00:54:36.460 --> 00:54:37.160
 As you

00:54:37.160 --> 00:54:37.860
 are this

00:54:37.860 --> 00:54:38.640
 day, even

00:54:38.640 --> 00:54:39.320
 imperfect

00:54:39.320 --> 00:54:40.820
 sinners,

00:54:41.920 --> 00:54:42.280
 yet the

00:54:42.280 --> 00:54:42.920
 Lord has

00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:43.500
 shown his

00:54:43.500 --> 00:54:44.559
 love to

00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:44.880
 you.

00:54:45.340 --> 00:54:45.720
 And is

00:54:45.720 --> 00:54:46.200
 that not

00:54:46.200 --> 00:54:46.680
 how we

00:54:46.680 --> 00:54:47.940
 are ourselves

00:54:47.940 --> 00:54:48.559
 today?

00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:50.079
 Imperfect

00:54:50.079 --> 00:54:50.699
 sinners,

00:54:51.579 --> 00:54:52.340
 imperfect

00:54:52.340 --> 00:54:52.940
 sinners,

00:54:53.380 --> 00:54:53.880
 in so

00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:54.480
 many ways

00:54:54.480 --> 00:54:54.699
 and yet

00:54:54.699 --> 00:54:55.639
 reminded of

00:54:55.639 --> 00:54:56.219
 the love

00:54:56.219 --> 00:54:57.199
 of God

00:54:57.199 --> 00:54:57.920
 to us

00:54:57.920 --> 00:54:59.239
 in Christ

00:54:59.239 --> 00:54:59.739
 Jesus.

00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:02.319
 So what

00:55:02.319 --> 00:55:02.739
 does this

00:55:02.739 --> 00:55:03.059
 mean?

00:55:04.579 --> 00:55:05.519
 As Moses

00:55:05.519 --> 00:55:06.079
 is telling

00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:06.759
 the people

00:55:06.759 --> 00:55:07.819
 all of

00:55:07.819 --> 00:55:08.539
 these things,

00:55:09.239 --> 00:55:09.759
 as he's

00:55:09.759 --> 00:55:10.639
 showing them

00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:12.000
 this reminder,

00:55:12.119 --> 00:55:12.380
 as he's

00:55:12.380 --> 00:55:12.819
 telling them

00:55:12.819 --> 00:55:13.719
 these requirements,

00:55:13.940 --> 00:55:14.239
 what does

00:55:14.239 --> 00:55:14.699
 it mean?

00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:16.519
 Well, it

00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:17.920
 calls for

00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:18.819
 a response.

00:55:18.820 --> 00:55:20.300
 And that's

00:55:20.300 --> 00:55:20.500
 what we

00:55:20.500 --> 00:55:20.920
 see in

00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:21.780
 verse 16.

00:55:24.780 --> 00:55:25.380
 Circumcise,

00:55:25.660 --> 00:55:25.980
 therefore,

00:55:26.280 --> 00:55:27.000
 the foreskin

00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:27.380
 of your

00:55:27.380 --> 00:55:27.920
 heart, and

00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:28.260
 be no

00:55:28.260 --> 00:55:28.620
 longer

00:55:28.620 --> 00:55:29.420
 stubborn,

00:55:30.420 --> 00:55:30.780
 for the

00:55:30.780 --> 00:55:31.320
 Lord your

00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:32.000
 God is

00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:32.640
 God of

00:55:32.640 --> 00:55:33.300
 gods and

00:55:33.300 --> 00:55:34.620
 Lord of

00:55:34.620 --> 00:55:35.320
 lords, the

00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:36.500
 great, the

00:55:36.500 --> 00:55:37.740
 mighty, and

00:55:37.740 --> 00:55:38.600
 the awesome

00:55:38.600 --> 00:55:39.440
 God.

00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:42.200
 It calls

00:55:42.200 --> 00:55:43.440
 for a

00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:44.220
 response.

00:55:45.600 --> 00:55:45.920
 As we

00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:46.280
 say with

00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:46.840
 the covenant

00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:47.880
 before us

00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:48.400
 here at

00:55:48.400 --> 00:55:48.840
 the beginning

00:55:48.840 --> 00:55:49.140
 and the

00:55:49.140 --> 00:55:50.300
 end, a

00:55:50.300 --> 00:55:50.579
 covenant

00:55:50.579 --> 00:55:51.400
 agreement is

00:55:51.400 --> 00:55:52.100
 between two

00:55:52.100 --> 00:55:52.980
 parties, between

00:55:52.980 --> 00:55:53.840
 God who has

00:55:53.840 --> 00:55:54.880
 shown his

00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:55.579
 love there in

00:55:55.579 --> 00:55:56.380
 verse 15, who

00:55:56.380 --> 00:55:57.360
 has set his

00:55:57.360 --> 00:55:58.620
 love on his

00:55:58.620 --> 00:55:59.220
 people, his

00:55:59.220 --> 00:56:00.400
 steadfast love.

00:56:01.300 --> 00:56:01.860
 God has

00:56:01.860 --> 00:56:02.740
 pledged that.

00:56:03.100 --> 00:56:03.400
 It's an

00:56:03.400 --> 00:56:04.019
 unchanging

00:56:04.019 --> 00:56:05.559
 love, but it

00:56:05.559 --> 00:56:06.360
 calls for a

00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:07.120
 response.

00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:09.140
 And the

00:56:09.140 --> 00:56:10.519
 response is to

00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:11.860
 do with the

00:56:11.860 --> 00:56:12.320
 heart.

00:56:12.320 --> 00:56:14.320
 God has

00:56:14.320 --> 00:56:15.559
 to show an

00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:16.600
 outward show

00:56:16.600 --> 00:56:17.640
 towards God,

00:56:18.700 --> 00:56:19.500
 but it's to

00:56:19.500 --> 00:56:19.960
 show an

00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:21.559
 openness, an

00:56:21.559 --> 00:56:22.440
 open heart

00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:23.980
 towards him,

00:56:24.480 --> 00:56:25.039
 an open

00:56:25.039 --> 00:56:25.600
 heart that

00:56:25.600 --> 00:56:26.580
 will receive

00:56:26.580 --> 00:56:27.680
 the word

00:56:27.680 --> 00:56:28.960
 of God.

00:56:30.240 --> 00:56:30.680
 Get rid

00:56:30.680 --> 00:56:32.200
 of everything

00:56:32.200 --> 00:56:32.880
 that keeps

00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:33.240
 you from

00:56:33.240 --> 00:56:34.039
 loving God.

00:56:35.200 --> 00:56:36.000
 Stop being

00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:36.420
 like the

00:56:36.420 --> 00:56:36.860
 harsh,

00:56:37.539 --> 00:56:38.019
 stubborn,

00:56:38.640 --> 00:56:39.160
 like we

00:56:39.160 --> 00:56:39.680
 were singing

00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:41.539
 in the

00:56:41.539 --> 00:56:42.119
 psalm there

00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:42.599
 in Psalm

00:56:42.599 --> 00:56:43.739
 32, verse

00:56:43.739 --> 00:56:44.199
 9.

00:56:44.799 --> 00:56:45.139
 Then be

00:56:45.139 --> 00:56:45.940
 not like the

00:56:45.940 --> 00:56:46.559
 horse or

00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:47.059
 mule which

00:56:47.059 --> 00:56:47.480
 do not

00:56:47.480 --> 00:56:48.460
 understand,

00:56:48.940 --> 00:56:49.460
 whose mouth

00:56:49.460 --> 00:56:49.960
 lest they

00:56:49.960 --> 00:56:50.659
 come near to

00:56:50.659 --> 00:56:51.019
 thee a

00:56:51.019 --> 00:56:51.819
 bridle must

00:56:51.819 --> 00:56:52.319
 command.

00:56:52.539 --> 00:56:53.179
 There's got

00:56:53.179 --> 00:56:53.619
 to be this

00:56:53.619 --> 00:56:54.480
 bridle in

00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:54.899
 his mouth,

00:56:55.019 --> 00:56:55.440
 don't be

00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:56.799
 stubborn like

00:56:56.799 --> 00:56:57.480
 the horse.

00:57:00.019 --> 00:57:00.440
 And it's

00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:00.960
 saying here

00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:01.579
 as well,

00:57:02.099 --> 00:57:02.480
 and be

00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:03.199
 no longer

00:57:03.199 --> 00:57:03.940
 stubborn.

00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:05.019
 What does

00:57:05.019 --> 00:57:06.019
 it mean to

00:57:06.019 --> 00:57:06.619
 be stubborn?

00:57:08.359 --> 00:57:08.759
 I'm sure

00:57:08.759 --> 00:57:09.299
 many of us

00:57:09.300 --> 00:57:09.720
 could answer

00:57:09.720 --> 00:57:10.260
 that quite

00:57:10.260 --> 00:57:10.740
 easily.

00:57:11.380 --> 00:57:12.140
 We've all

00:57:12.140 --> 00:57:12.760
 experienced

00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:14.120
 it, either

00:57:14.120 --> 00:57:14.620
 by being

00:57:14.620 --> 00:57:15.440
 the offender

00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:16.580
 or on the

00:57:16.580 --> 00:57:17.440
 receiving end

00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:17.840
 of it.

00:57:18.420 --> 00:57:18.780
 We are

00:57:18.780 --> 00:57:20.060
 stubborn by

00:57:20.060 --> 00:57:20.700
 nature in

00:57:20.700 --> 00:57:21.280
 so many

00:57:21.280 --> 00:57:22.000
 ways because

00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:22.360
 there's an

00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:23.180
 arrogance and

00:57:23.180 --> 00:57:24.039
 stubbornness,

00:57:24.420 --> 00:57:25.080
 an arrogance

00:57:25.080 --> 00:57:25.700
 that you see

00:57:25.700 --> 00:57:26.800
 in the people

00:57:26.800 --> 00:57:27.660
 of God so

00:57:27.660 --> 00:57:28.920
 often here

00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:29.720
 in Deuteronomy,

00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:31.420
 a stubbornness

00:57:31.420 --> 00:57:31.960
 that's led

00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:32.480
 them to make

00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:33.039
 a golden

00:57:33.039 --> 00:57:33.800
 calf, saying

00:57:33.800 --> 00:57:34.960
 Moses, he's

00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:35.560
 not coming

00:57:35.560 --> 00:57:36.220
 back, he's

00:57:36.220 --> 00:57:36.600
 gone.

00:57:38.140 --> 00:57:38.620
 They didn't

00:57:38.619 --> 00:57:39.559
 trust that

00:57:39.559 --> 00:57:39.779
 he would

00:57:39.779 --> 00:57:40.420
 come back.

00:57:40.779 --> 00:57:40.980
 And so

00:57:40.980 --> 00:57:41.319
 they took

00:57:41.319 --> 00:57:42.000
 matters into

00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:42.440
 their own

00:57:42.440 --> 00:57:43.039
 hands.

00:57:43.759 --> 00:57:44.159
 And that's

00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:45.119
 the stubbornness

00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:45.799
 that plagues

00:57:45.799 --> 00:57:46.619
 our heart to

00:57:46.619 --> 00:57:47.219
 this day.

00:57:48.239 --> 00:57:49.099
 The stubbornness

00:57:49.099 --> 00:57:49.619
 that we know

00:57:49.619 --> 00:57:50.619
 best, that we've

00:57:50.619 --> 00:57:51.719
 got a plan,

00:57:51.799 --> 00:57:52.239
 that we've got

00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:53.400
 a way, that

00:57:53.400 --> 00:57:54.059
 God doesn't

00:57:54.059 --> 00:57:54.440
 know what

00:57:54.440 --> 00:57:55.039
 he's doing.

00:57:55.599 --> 00:57:56.420
 The stubbornness

00:57:56.420 --> 00:57:57.319
 that just puts

00:57:57.319 --> 00:57:58.259
 God away, that

00:57:58.259 --> 00:57:59.059
 shuns him.

00:58:00.219 --> 00:58:01.000
 So there is a

00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:02.039
 stubbornness that's

00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:02.739
 in us all.

00:58:02.739 --> 00:58:05.719
 But the

00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:06.459
 response that

00:58:06.459 --> 00:58:07.059
 it's calling

00:58:07.059 --> 00:58:07.519
 for is

00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:08.339
 circumcised

00:58:08.339 --> 00:58:09.539
 therefore, the

00:58:09.539 --> 00:58:11.079
 foreskin of

00:58:11.079 --> 00:58:11.859
 your heart.

00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:12.500
 What does he

00:58:12.500 --> 00:58:13.279
 mean by that?

00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:14.779
 The male

00:58:14.779 --> 00:58:16.699
 Israelites, they

00:58:16.699 --> 00:58:17.179
 had to be

00:58:17.179 --> 00:58:18.599
 circumcised, to

00:58:18.599 --> 00:58:18.919
 have their

00:58:18.919 --> 00:58:19.879
 foreskin cut

00:58:19.879 --> 00:58:20.179
 off.

00:58:20.579 --> 00:58:21.000
 It was a

00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:21.579
 sign of

00:58:21.579 --> 00:58:22.959
 belonging to

00:58:22.959 --> 00:58:24.319
 God, but it

00:58:24.319 --> 00:58:24.959
 was an outward

00:58:24.959 --> 00:58:25.539
 sign.

00:58:26.579 --> 00:58:27.399
 But what he's

00:58:27.399 --> 00:58:28.539
 asking for here

00:58:28.539 --> 00:58:29.839
 is an inward

00:58:29.839 --> 00:58:31.959
 sign, that the

00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:32.900
 heart is what

00:58:32.900 --> 00:58:33.820
 needs changing.

00:58:34.720 --> 00:58:35.440
 Not just

00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:36.380
 putting on an

00:58:36.380 --> 00:58:38.460
 outward show, not

00:58:38.460 --> 00:58:39.559
 just putting on a

00:58:39.559 --> 00:58:40.619
 show that they're

00:58:40.619 --> 00:58:41.340
 to please other

00:58:41.340 --> 00:58:42.440
 people around us,

00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:43.780
 but that our

00:58:43.780 --> 00:58:45.260
 heart, our

00:58:45.260 --> 00:58:46.820
 heart is for

00:58:46.820 --> 00:58:48.420
 God, that our

00:58:48.420 --> 00:58:49.480
 heart is open

00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:50.619
 to God.

00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:51.539
 Circumcise

00:58:51.539 --> 00:58:52.159
 therefore the

00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:52.960
 foreskin of your

00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:54.400
 heart and be no

00:58:54.400 --> 00:58:55.599
 longer stubborn.

00:58:58.019 --> 00:58:58.619
 The

00:58:58.619 --> 00:58:59.599
 requirements that

00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:01.360
 God asks of

00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:01.639
 you.

00:59:02.360 --> 00:59:03.220
 Don't think you

00:59:03.220 --> 00:59:03.840
 know better.

00:59:04.220 --> 00:59:04.900
 Don't think you

00:59:04.900 --> 00:59:05.619
 can manage your

00:59:05.619 --> 00:59:06.300
 life in any

00:59:06.300 --> 00:59:07.019
 better way.

00:59:07.980 --> 00:59:09.119
 The love that

00:59:09.119 --> 00:59:09.980
 God has shown

00:59:09.980 --> 00:59:10.599
 for you.

00:59:10.699 --> 00:59:11.240
 Don't think you

00:59:11.240 --> 00:59:12.179
 can ignore it.

00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:13.320
 You ignore it at

00:59:13.320 --> 00:59:14.480
 your peril and

00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:14.960
 say that that

00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:15.740
 love is not

00:59:15.740 --> 00:59:16.780
 real or that God

00:59:16.780 --> 00:59:17.460
 did not do

00:59:17.460 --> 00:59:18.920
 that, that Jesus

00:59:18.920 --> 00:59:20.139
 never rose from

00:59:20.139 --> 00:59:20.559
 the grave.

00:59:20.679 --> 00:59:21.380
 All of these

00:59:21.380 --> 00:59:22.059
 things, there's a

00:59:22.059 --> 00:59:23.079
 stubbornness.

00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:25.460
 God is not

00:59:25.460 --> 00:59:25.960
 real.

00:59:27.840 --> 00:59:28.840
 Well, God is

00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:29.519
 not dead.

00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:33.780
 God is

00:59:33.780 --> 00:59:34.739
 not

00:59:34.739 --> 00:59:35.480
 to be

00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:36.699
 open to

00:59:36.699 --> 00:59:38.639
 him, not

00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:39.400
 to be stubborn

00:59:39.400 --> 00:59:40.320
 like the horse

00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:41.639
 or the mule,

00:59:42.039 --> 00:59:42.480
 because they

00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:43.500
 don't understand.

00:59:44.659 --> 00:59:45.679
 And it's a fool

00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:46.579
 that says in his

00:59:46.579 --> 00:59:47.219
 heart that there

00:59:47.219 --> 00:59:48.840
 is no God,

00:59:49.179 --> 00:59:49.679
 because that

00:59:49.679 --> 00:59:50.820
 heart is hard.

00:59:50.820 --> 00:59:53.480
 But we are

00:59:53.480 --> 00:59:54.440
 not to harden

00:59:54.440 --> 00:59:55.720
 our hearts.

00:59:56.300 --> 00:59:56.960
 We are not

00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:57.740
 to be stubborn.

00:59:58.740 --> 00:59:59.320
 We are to

00:59:59.320 --> 01:00:00.680
 listen to the

01:00:00.680 --> 01:00:02.180
 word of God.

01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:04.220
 Thankful that

01:00:04.220 --> 01:00:05.039
 he has spoken

01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:07.200
 to us, that

01:00:07.200 --> 01:00:07.880
 the Lord has

01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:08.880
 not destroyed

01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:09.260
 us.

01:00:09.800 --> 01:00:11.039
 As we saw at the

01:00:11.039 --> 01:00:11.900
 beginning of this

01:00:11.900 --> 01:00:13.039
 section, the

01:00:13.039 --> 01:00:13.880
 Lord was unwilling

01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:14.500
 to destroy.

01:00:14.640 --> 01:00:15.019
 He showed

01:00:15.019 --> 01:00:15.480
 mercy.

01:00:16.559 --> 01:00:16.960
 He has

01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:17.880
 showed mercy to

01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:18.780
 you and to me,

01:00:18.780 --> 01:00:21.019
 that we hear

01:00:21.019 --> 01:00:22.160
 the word

01:00:22.160 --> 01:00:23.400
 of God.

01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:25.040
 And this

01:00:25.040 --> 01:00:26.100
 word that we

01:00:26.100 --> 01:00:26.519
 have in

01:00:26.519 --> 01:00:27.160
 Deuteronomy,

01:00:27.580 --> 01:00:28.720
 it is a

01:00:28.720 --> 01:00:29.720
 precious word.

01:00:30.760 --> 01:00:31.320
 It is a

01:00:31.320 --> 01:00:32.340
 golden nugget

01:00:32.340 --> 01:00:33.540
 of God

01:00:33.540 --> 01:00:34.420
 to us,

01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:35.760
 that the

01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:36.700
 Lord requires

01:00:36.700 --> 01:00:37.300
 of us

01:00:37.300 --> 01:00:38.440
 to do

01:00:38.440 --> 01:00:39.320
 these things,

01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:40.960
 to see

01:00:40.960 --> 01:00:42.260
 his love,

01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:43.700
 and to

01:00:43.700 --> 01:00:44.400
 respond

01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:45.280
 to it

01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:46.540
 with an

01:00:46.540 --> 01:00:47.420
 open heart,

01:00:47.660 --> 01:00:49.060
 to receive

01:00:49.060 --> 01:00:49.820
 his grace,

01:00:50.380 --> 01:00:51.260
 to trust

01:00:51.260 --> 01:00:51.780
 in him,

01:00:52.300 --> 01:00:53.000
 to walk

01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:53.519
 with him,

01:00:54.300 --> 01:00:54.660
 and to

01:00:54.660 --> 01:00:55.019
 love him,

01:00:55.080 --> 01:00:55.360
 and to

01:00:55.360 --> 01:00:56.160
 serve him

01:00:56.160 --> 01:00:57.360
 with all

01:00:57.360 --> 01:00:58.100
 our heart.

01:00:59.060 --> 01:00:59.460
 So be

01:00:59.460 --> 01:01:00.360
 not stubborn,

01:01:01.640 --> 01:01:02.320
 but open

01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:03.000
 your heart

01:01:03.000 --> 01:01:04.000
 to the

01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:04.340
 Lord,

01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:05.320
 that he

01:01:05.320 --> 01:01:05.740
 might come

01:01:05.740 --> 01:01:06.140
 in and

01:01:06.140 --> 01:01:06.460
 dwell.

01:01:07.340 --> 01:01:07.620
 May the

01:01:07.620 --> 01:01:08.240
 Lord bless

01:01:08.240 --> 01:01:09.100
 these thoughts

01:01:09.100 --> 01:01:09.680
 to us.

01:01:09.679 --> 01:01:11.980
 we'll

01:01:11.980 --> 01:01:12.659
 conclude by

01:01:12.659 --> 01:01:13.619
 singing to

01:01:13.619 --> 01:01:14.079
 God's

01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:14.759
 praise in

01:01:14.759 --> 01:01:15.839
 Psalm 95,

01:01:17.259 --> 01:01:17.619
 in the

01:01:17.619 --> 01:01:18.319
 Sing Psalms

01:01:18.319 --> 01:01:18.679
 version,

01:01:18.819 --> 01:01:19.440
 page 1,

01:01:19.519 --> 01:01:19.699
 2,

01:01:19.699 --> 01:01:20.199
 6,

01:01:20.799 --> 01:01:23.099
 Psalm 95,

01:01:23.460 --> 01:01:23.879
 the tune

01:01:23.879 --> 01:01:24.119
 is

01:01:24.119 --> 01:01:24.859
 Cyndenio,

01:01:25.719 --> 01:01:26.019
 and we're

01:01:26.019 --> 01:01:26.319
 going to

01:01:26.319 --> 01:01:26.799
 sing from

01:01:26.799 --> 01:01:27.879
 verse 6

01:01:27.879 --> 01:01:29.579
 to verse 8,

01:01:29.619 --> 01:01:30.279
 these two

01:01:30.279 --> 01:01:31.199
 verses.

01:01:32.579 --> 01:01:33.579
 Psalm 95,

01:01:33.839 --> 01:01:34.440

01:01:34.879 --> 01:01:35.179

01:01:35.279 --> 01:01:35.539
 come,

01:01:35.960 --> 01:01:36.559
 let us

01:01:36.559 --> 01:01:37.259
 bow humbly

01:01:37.259 --> 01:01:37.799
 and worship

01:01:37.799 --> 01:01:38.399
 the Lord.

01:01:38.839 --> 01:01:39.319
 Let us

01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:40.000
 kneel before

01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:40.180
 him,

01:01:40.700 --> 01:01:41.360

01:01:49.240 --> 01:01:49.720
 Today,

01:01:50.320 --> 01:01:50.700
 if you

01:01:51.940 --> 01:01:52.580
 his voice,

01:01:53.140 --> 01:01:53.840
 don't harden

01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:54.539
 your hearts

01:01:54.539 --> 01:01:55.460

01:02:35.639 --> 01:02:36.639
 God,

01:02:36.639 --> 01:02:37.639

01:02:38.319 --> 01:02:39.699

01:02:46.099 --> 01:02:47.059
 Today,

01:02:47.920 --> 01:02:48.799

01:02:54.980 --> 01:02:56.579
 don't harden

01:02:56.579 --> 01:02:58.480
 your hearts

01:02:58.480 --> 01:02:59.599

 my

01:03:15.199 --> 01:03:16.480
