00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.639
 Notice as we begin our worship by singing to God's praise, we're going to sing in Psalm 96

00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:14.540
 in the Scottish Psalter, Psalm 96. We'll sing from verse 1 to verse 6, the tune is Glasgow.

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:21.100
 We'll sing a new song to the Lord, sing all the earth to God, to God sing, bless his name,

00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:26.879
 show still his saving health abroad. We'll sing from verse 1 to 6 to God's praise.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:54.780
 O sing a new song to the Lord, sing all the earth to God, to God sing, bless his name,

00:00:54.780 --> 00:01:03.780
 show still his saving health abroad.

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:20.780
 Among the hidden nations, his glory to the fair.

00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:38.780
 And now to all the people show, his words that long the star.

00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:56.780
 For grace adored and greatly he is to be magnified.

00:01:56.780 --> 00:01:58.780
 He is to be magnified.

00:01:58.780 --> 00:02:03.780
 He is to be magnified.

00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:10.780
 Even though the universe caelessly on the grandes楽ies of his flag is black.

00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:18.780
 For the God of 모두 нес名 stayed below to the ground,

00:02:18.780 --> 00:02:22.780
 He is to be magnified.

00:02:22.780 --> 00:02:32.219
 O Son, with light and patience here.

00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:50.120
 Our Father, God is the Lord by whom the heavens created there.

00:02:50.120 --> 00:03:08.120
 Great honor is before His face and majesty divine.

00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:18.300
 Strength is within His holy place.

00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:26.120
 And there the beauty shine.

00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:26.379
 Amen.

00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.379
 Let's bow our heads in a word of prayer.

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:37.460
 Let us pray.

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.840
 Lord, our gracious God, we thank You for Your Word.

00:03:44.939 --> 00:03:48.520
 We thank You to be able to sing praise to You.

00:03:48.620 --> 00:03:54.280
 We thank You that the words that we have sung can resonate so much with our hearts.

00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:59.080
 We recognize, Lord, that You are worthy of all our praise.

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:04.080
 For great is the Lord, and greatly He is to be magnified.

00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:08.420
 And we pray, Lord, that that is how we would see You this evening.

00:04:08.920 --> 00:04:12.020
 As the one who we want to lift up.

00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.520
 The one who we want to magnify and bless.

00:04:15.259 --> 00:04:19.319
 The one who we want to come and praise with all our hearts.

00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:26.819
 For we can acknowledge, even as the psalmist speaks of, that there are times when we have other idols that we worship.

00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:32.480
 There are other things in this life that are magnified before us so often.

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:39.839
 Things that we look to and sometimes we find joy in and help in and strength in.

00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:44.539
 And yet ultimately are of no great value to us.

00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.159
 And certainly of no great eternal benefit to us.

00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.399
 And so we pray that we would be able to say with the psalmist,

00:04:53.039 --> 00:04:57.919
 But our God is the Lord by whom the heavens created were.

00:04:58.719 --> 00:05:03.500
 That that is a God we would come to know as a mighty God.

00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:08.879
 And also come to know, as even Jesus taught us to pray,

00:05:09.379 --> 00:05:11.639
 That we can come and say of this mighty God,

00:05:12.139 --> 00:05:14.560
 Our Father, who art in heaven.

00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:19.060
 And we pray, Lord, to know You in all of these ways.

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.860
 For we see Your power around us in so many ways.

00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.459
 And yet we see Your care towards us too.

00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.139
 We see the consequences of sin.

00:05:30.139 --> 00:05:33.419
 And we are reminded of the judgment that that brings.

00:05:34.099 --> 00:05:38.099
 But we are reminded too of Your compassion and Your grace.

00:05:38.939 --> 00:05:42.060
 And we pray, Lord, that You would come in Your power.

00:05:42.719 --> 00:05:46.479
 That You would come into our midst here this evening by Your Spirit.

00:05:47.159 --> 00:05:50.740
 That You would help us to be still in Your presence.

00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:52.979
 And to know You as God.

00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.060
 And we thank You that we come in and through the name.

00:05:57.659 --> 00:05:58.699
 Above every name.

00:05:58.699 --> 00:06:00.560
 We come not in our own names.

00:06:01.180 --> 00:06:04.819
 We come not in our own status or our own weakness.

00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:08.920
 We come through our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:06:09.539 --> 00:06:12.339
 And we thank You that we can approach You through Him.

00:06:13.060 --> 00:06:16.620
 And that we are assured that whenever we come to Him,

00:06:17.139 --> 00:06:19.120
 He will never turn us away.

00:06:19.779 --> 00:06:21.680
 He will never tell us to go.

00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.360
 For indeed the gospel is a gospel that says,

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:30.040
 Come, come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden,

00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:32.120
 and I will give You rest.

00:06:32.819 --> 00:06:35.460
 And we pray, Lord, that we will be able to come

00:06:35.460 --> 00:06:38.160
 and approach You in that manner this evening,

00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.920
 seeking to find rest with the Lord Jesus,

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.120
 seeking to find rest for our souls.

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:49.620
 We thank You, Lord, that we come in prayer to You,

00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.480
 knowing that every need that we have already known unto You,

00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.519
 that You delight to hear us sharing with You,

00:06:58.139 --> 00:07:01.620
 that You delight as Your children come to You in prayer.

00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.079
 For in prayer we acknowledge our dependence upon You,

00:07:05.620 --> 00:07:08.040
 for apart from You, without You, we can do nothing.

00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:13.140
 And so as we come, we thank You to be able to bring all our prayers to You

00:07:13.140 --> 00:07:16.960
 for the cause of Your kingdom near and far,

00:07:17.260 --> 00:07:21.400
 for our own individual needs and for the needs of others around us,

00:07:22.020 --> 00:07:26.080
 and for the growth of Your church, Lord, near and far.

00:07:26.860 --> 00:07:30.680
 And we thank You that we can come remembering who You are,

00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:34.460
 that You are the God who has done mighty works in the past,

00:07:34.459 --> 00:07:38.379
 the God who is doing even powerful works today,

00:07:39.019 --> 00:07:41.620
 and the God who will be the same into the future,

00:07:42.339 --> 00:07:44.279
 that You will be with Your people,

00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:46.899
 that You will watch over Your people,

00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.500
 that You will bring Your people to Yourself

00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:53.899
 on that great day appointed as the day of judgment.

00:07:54.799 --> 00:07:58.740
 And we thank You for Your constancy towards us,

00:07:58.799 --> 00:08:01.219
 that You are a God who never fails us,

00:08:01.799 --> 00:08:03.779
 a God whose steadfast love,

00:08:03.779 --> 00:08:08.159
 whose great love towards us is so faithful each day.

00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:10.939
 And we thank You that today, as a new day,

00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:12.179
 we can come to You.

00:08:12.679 --> 00:08:14.839
 And thank You for the blessings of this day.

00:08:14.919 --> 00:08:18.519
 We can thank You for being able to gather round Your Word,

00:08:19.039 --> 00:08:20.500
 to be able to gather together,

00:08:20.739 --> 00:08:23.019
 to be able to share in this way.

00:08:23.679 --> 00:08:27.799
 And we thank You and bless You for these opportunities that we have.

00:08:28.239 --> 00:08:30.739
 And help us, Lord, not to take them for granted,

00:08:30.740 --> 00:08:34.180
 help us to be wise with our time,

00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.799
 and to use it to seek Your will for us.

00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:44.159
 And we do pray, Lord, for every individual and home represented here,

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.459
 and all who tune in online as well.

00:08:46.539 --> 00:08:51.679
 We thank You for the means that we have to meet with one another

00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.079
 in so many different ways,

00:08:53.740 --> 00:08:55.439
 that we are not confined here,

00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.080
 but that Your Word goes out far and wide.

00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:01.080
 And remember us in all our homes and our families.

00:09:01.300 --> 00:09:03.260
 Remember us with all our different needs.

00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:05.620
 Remember their young people.

00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:07.160
 Lord, we thank You for them.

00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:12.780
 We thank You for each one who we see coming through these doors week by week,

00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:17.419
 both to church services and to explorers groups,

00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:18.379
 to the YF.

00:09:18.459 --> 00:09:23.259
 Even this evening, we pray Your blessing on those who will gather in the hall next door

00:09:23.259 --> 00:09:25.759
 as they gather for the YF there.

00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:27.319
 May Your blessing be with them.

00:09:28.059 --> 00:09:31.579
 Encourage them, Lord, and watch over them in their young years.

00:09:32.199 --> 00:09:36.379
 We thank You too for those who are involved in the trip to Scalladale this weekend.

00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:39.320
 We thank You for the blessings of that,

00:09:40.340 --> 00:09:42.740
 being gathered together in fellowship

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:46.720
 and enjoying learning from Your Word

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.080
 and building relationships there.

00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.899
 We thank You for their safety and for encouragement in their time.

00:09:53.580 --> 00:09:57.120
 We pray, Lord, Your blessing on all who are involved in arranging that

00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.860
 and in leading it over this weekend as well.

00:10:00.860 --> 00:10:08.639
 We thank You too, Lord, for the blessings of the wider church too.

00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:10.879
 We thank You for our own denomination

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:14.519
 and for all the congregations up and down our land

00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:18.060
 who faithfully proclaim Your gospel week by week.

00:10:18.700 --> 00:10:22.460
 We thank You for encouraging news in different parts.

00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:27.039
 We hear so often of discouragement around us, Lord,

00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:31.480
 but we thank You for even the gathering in Portree yesterday

00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.000
 where the new church building was officially opened.

00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.919
 We thank You for the vision that You gave to the people there

00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.919
 to begin that work and to see it through.

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.959
 And as they are encouraged now in its opening,

00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:47.219
 that they will be further encouraged in the years ahead

00:10:47.219 --> 00:10:49.819
 to see it used for Your glory

00:10:49.819 --> 00:10:52.819
 and for the goodness of the community there.

00:10:52.820 --> 00:10:56.700
 So we ask Your blessing on the minister there,

00:10:56.800 --> 00:10:58.140
 the Reverend Donny G. MacDonald.

00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.620
 We thank You that even though he has been through

00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:03.400
 a period of ill health himself,

00:11:03.520 --> 00:11:06.400
 that he is in better health now

00:11:06.400 --> 00:11:09.240
 and able to be involved in the ministry there once again

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:12.180
 and continue to uphold him and to strengthen him

00:11:12.180 --> 00:11:14.400
 and all of the congregation there.

00:11:15.060 --> 00:11:18.400
 We pray that for ourselves as well as our congregation, Lord.

00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:22.180
 We look forward to a time of communion in these coming weeks

00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:25.659
 and we pray that it will be a time of encouragement to us

00:11:25.659 --> 00:11:29.079
 as we gather for word and sacrament.

00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.599
 And we pray for the Reverend Angus MacRae

00:11:31.599 --> 00:11:34.899
 and Reverend Carl MacDonald as they prepare to come to us.

00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.639
 May You use them, Lord, and encourage them

00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.819
 through the ministry of Your word to us.

00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:45.539
 We pray for those who may long to sit at Your table,

00:11:45.979 --> 00:11:48.879
 for those who would profess in their hearts

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:50.360
 that they are saved by You,

00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:52.539
 that they would come to have the strength

00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:53.820
 to profess it publicly,

00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:57.480
 to be encouraged and to be an encouragement to others.

00:11:58.259 --> 00:12:00.039
 We pray, Lord, for Your help

00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.460
 and every preparation to be made in all our hearts

00:12:03.460 --> 00:12:06.200
 as we look to You and turn to You

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.980
 for Your blessing over us in these things.

00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:13.820
 And we pray, too, for our own minister here,

00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:16.320
 Reverend James McKeever and his wife Donna.

00:12:16.940 --> 00:12:19.940
 As we heard this morning of an announcement

00:12:19.940 --> 00:12:21.980
 of his upcoming retirement, Lord,

00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:23.840
 we want to thank You for his ministry

00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.779
 and support to us as a people here

00:12:26.779 --> 00:12:28.899
 and to the church at large as well.

00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:32.139
 We pray, Lord, that You will continue to use him

00:12:32.139 --> 00:12:35.100
 in these remaining months here, Lord.

00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:37.580
 Use him and bless him mightily

00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:39.700
 as he continues to preach the word.

00:12:40.560 --> 00:12:42.740
 And we pray for prayers to be answered,

00:12:43.300 --> 00:12:45.639
 even offered up over these last number of years

00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:47.740
 and maybe even decades, Lord,

00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:50.320
 to see Your glory in this place,

00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:51.940
 to see Your Spirit working.

00:12:52.540 --> 00:12:54.360
 We pray for them as a couple, too,

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:55.320
 remembering Donna,

00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.200
 thankful for her most recent surgery

00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.639
 and pray for her going forward as well,

00:13:01.139 --> 00:13:03.080
 that together they will know Your goodness

00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:04.560
 and mercy upon them.

00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:07.639
 So we ask all these things looking to You.

00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:11.240
 We ask all these things as undeserving

00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:12.620
 of the least of Your mercies,

00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:14.100
 but thankful for Your love

00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:16.759
 and Your steadfast love towards us.

00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:18.480
 Hear our prayers, Lord.

00:13:18.580 --> 00:13:19.460
 Watch over us.

00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:22.100
 Guide us in our worship and in our praise.

00:13:22.280 --> 00:13:23.840
 May we lift our hearts to You

00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.700
 with much thankfulness

00:13:25.700 --> 00:13:27.879
 as we have much reason to rejoice.

00:13:28.540 --> 00:13:29.580
 So go with us now

00:13:29.580 --> 00:13:30.840
 and pardon all us

00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.060
 and as we ask all these things

00:13:33.060 --> 00:13:34.180
 in Jesus' name.

00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:35.240
 Amen.

00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.080
 We're going to sing again to God's praise,

00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:43.660
 this time in Psalm 30,

00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:45.340
 in the Singed Psalms.

00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.300
 Find this on page 34 of the Psalm books.

00:13:52.300 --> 00:13:53.500
 Psalm 30.

00:13:53.660 --> 00:13:56.379
 We're going to sing from verse 1 down to verse 8.

00:13:56.379 --> 00:13:58.840
 O Lord, I will exalt Your name,

00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:00.960
 for You have rescued me.

00:14:01.460 --> 00:14:03.600
 You did not let my foes rejoice

00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:05.899
 and gloat triumphantly.

00:14:06.059 --> 00:14:08.460
 We'll sing from verse 1 to verse 8,

00:14:08.899 --> 00:14:10.419
 and the tune is Kilmarnock.

00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:12.460
 We sing to God's praise.

00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:13.100
 Amen.

00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:26.059
 O Lord, I will exalt Your name,

00:14:26.379 --> 00:14:33.899
 for You have rescued me.

00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:38.759
 Give in the day,

00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:43.059
 my foes rejoice

00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:49.259
 and no triumphantly.

00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:57.779
 Lord, I will exalt Your name,

00:14:57.779 --> 00:14:58.779
 I will exalt Your name,

00:14:58.779 --> 00:14:59.779
 and You have rescued me.

00:14:59.779 --> 00:15:01.779
 And You have rescued me.

00:15:01.779 --> 00:15:07.779
 And You have restored my health.

00:15:07.779 --> 00:15:16.779
 O Lord, You brought me from the grave,

00:15:16.779 --> 00:15:25.299
 and saved my soul from death.

00:15:25.299 --> 00:15:35.000
 You holy ones sing to the Lord,

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:43.220
 sing and with joyful hearts.

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:51.740
 When you read all His glory,

00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:59.740
 then please Him and rejoice.

00:15:59.740 --> 00:16:04.259
 His anger,

00:16:04.259 --> 00:16:05.259
 His anger,

00:16:05.259 --> 00:16:10.259
 but have obeyed us,

00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:19.159
 life on His chamber's cage.

00:16:19.259 --> 00:16:24.320
 Though tears play us

00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:28.639
 throughout the night,

00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:36.159
 joy comes with morning's lips.

00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:46.039
 I never shall be would I say,

00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:52.279
 in my prosperity.

00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:59.799
 You made my country,

00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.899
 you made my country firm and strong,

00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:11.799
 when you Lord favored me.

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:21.319
 But when you hid your face on me,

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:28.319
 my heart was terrified.

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:38.839
 For you, O Lord, I call thou life.

00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:47.839
 For bless me, O Lord, I cry.

00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:49.839
 Amen.

00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:50.839
 Amen.

00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:51.439
 Amen.

00:17:51.439 --> 00:17:51.839
 Amen.

00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:52.839
 Amen.

00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:53.019
 Amen.

00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:55.819
 We'll turn to read God's Word in the Old Testament,

00:17:55.819 --> 00:17:57.139
 in the book of Nehemiah.

00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:00.119
 Nehemiah chapter 8.

00:18:02.699 --> 00:18:05.359
 You'll find this around page 482,

00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:08.919
 depending what version of the Bible you have.

00:18:08.919 --> 00:18:10.399
 Nehemiah chapter 8.

00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.120
 We can read the whole of this chapter.

00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:18.240
 Nehemiah chapter 8.

00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:21.259
 And all the people gathered as one man

00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:24.200
 into the square before the water gate.

00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:26.900
 And they told Ezra the scribe

00:18:26.900 --> 00:18:28.960
 to bring the book of the law of Moses

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.640
 that the Lord had commanded Israel.

00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:34.620
 So Ezra the priest brought the law

00:18:34.620 --> 00:18:35.759
 before the assembly,

00:18:36.380 --> 00:18:37.420
 both men and women,

00:18:37.420 --> 00:18:39.859
 and all who could understand what they heard

00:18:39.859 --> 00:18:42.980
 on the first day of the seventh month.

00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:45.140
 And he read from it,

00:18:45.259 --> 00:18:47.759
 facing the square before the water gate,

00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:50.440
 from early morning until midday,

00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:53.180
 in the presence of the men and the women

00:18:53.180 --> 00:18:55.160
 and those who could understand.

00:18:55.940 --> 00:18:57.819
 And the ears of all the people

00:18:57.819 --> 00:19:00.259
 were attentive to the book of the law.

00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.759
 And Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden platform

00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:06.000
 that they had made for the purpose.

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:09.680
 And beside him stood Mattathiah, Shema,

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:12.559
 Ananiah, Uriah, Hilkiah,

00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:15.480
 and Messiah on the right hand.

00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.460
 And Padaiah, Mishel, Malchijah, Hashim,

00:19:20.019 --> 00:19:23.539
 Hashbadanah, Zachariah, and Meshulam

00:19:23.539 --> 00:19:24.980
 on the left hand.

00:19:25.620 --> 00:19:27.019
 And Ezra opened the book

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:28.819
 in the sight of all the people,

00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:31.059
 for he was above all the people.

00:19:31.539 --> 00:19:32.519
 And as he opened it,

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:33.860
 all the people stood.

00:19:34.120 --> 00:19:36.519
 And Ezra blessed the Lord,

00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:38.000
 the great God,

00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:39.799
 and all the people answered,

00:19:40.339 --> 00:19:42.019
 Amen, Amen.

00:19:42.019 --> 00:19:44.379
 lifting up their hands.

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.440
 And they bowed their heads

00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.139
 and worshipped the Lord

00:19:48.139 --> 00:19:49.720
 with their faces to the ground.

00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:52.400
 Also Jeshua, Bani,

00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:54.460
 Sherebiah, Jamin,

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:56.519
 Akub, Shabithiah,

00:19:57.559 --> 00:19:58.039
 Hodiah,

00:19:58.660 --> 00:19:59.160
 Messiah,

00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:00.460
 Kelita,

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:01.599
 Asariah,

00:20:01.859 --> 00:20:02.480
 Josabat,

00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:03.119
 Hanan,

00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:04.259
 Peliah,

00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:05.259
 Nehemiah,

00:20:05.259 --> 00:20:05.599
 the Levites,

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:07.579
 they helped the people

00:20:07.579 --> 00:20:09.700
 to understand the law,

00:20:10.220 --> 00:20:11.460
 while the people remained

00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:12.579
 in their places.

00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:14.440
 They read from the book

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:15.599
 of the law of God

00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:16.400
 clearly,

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:17.539
 and they gave the meaning

00:20:17.539 --> 00:20:18.700
 so that the people

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:20.319
 understood the reading.

00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:22.319
 And Nehemiah,

00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:23.379
 who was the governor,

00:20:23.900 --> 00:20:25.299
 and Ezra the priest

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:26.359
 and scribe,

00:20:26.619 --> 00:20:27.420
 and the Levites,

00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:28.500
 who taught the people,

00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:29.900
 said to all the people,

00:20:30.560 --> 00:20:32.000
 This day is holy

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.480
 to the Lord your God.

00:20:34.120 --> 00:20:35.500
 Do not mourn or weep.

00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:37.380
 For all the people wept

00:20:37.380 --> 00:20:38.140
 as they heard

00:20:38.140 --> 00:20:39.480
 the words of the law.

00:20:40.340 --> 00:20:41.460
 Then he said to them,

00:20:41.860 --> 00:20:42.840
 Go on your way.

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:44.500
 Eat the fat

00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:45.880
 and drink sweet wine

00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:46.940
 and send portions

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:48.380
 to anyone who has nothing,

00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:49.920
 who has nothing ready.

00:20:50.060 --> 00:20:50.900
 For this day

00:20:50.900 --> 00:20:52.000
 is a holy day

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.300
 to our Lord.

00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:55.100
 And do not be grieved,

00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:57.240
 for the joy of the Lord

00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:58.580
 is your strength.

00:20:58.579 --> 00:21:00.220
 So the Levites

00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:01.779
 calmed all the people,

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:02.279
 saying,

00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:03.460
 Be quiet,

00:21:03.879 --> 00:21:05.299
 for this day is holy.

00:21:05.679 --> 00:21:07.000
 Do not be grieved.

00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:08.379
 And all the people

00:21:08.379 --> 00:21:09.199
 went on their way

00:21:09.199 --> 00:21:10.199
 to eat and drink

00:21:10.199 --> 00:21:11.699
 and to send portions

00:21:11.699 --> 00:21:13.299
 and to make great rejoicing,

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:15.139
 because they had understood

00:21:15.139 --> 00:21:16.119
 the words

00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:17.619
 that were declared to them.

00:21:18.419 --> 00:21:19.460
 On the second day,

00:21:19.539 --> 00:21:21.319
 the heads of the fathers' houses

00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:22.720
 of all the people

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:23.439
 with the priests

00:21:23.439 --> 00:21:24.240
 and the Levites

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:25.480
 came together

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.879
 to Ezra the scribe

00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:27.880
 in order to study

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:29.040
 the words of the law.

00:21:29.560 --> 00:21:30.580
 And they found it written

00:21:30.580 --> 00:21:31.180
 in the law

00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:32.100
 that the Lord

00:21:32.100 --> 00:21:33.460
 had commanded by Moses

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:35.000
 that the people of Israel

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.400
 should dwell in booths

00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:37.340
 during the feast

00:21:37.340 --> 00:21:38.600
 of the seventh month,

00:21:39.140 --> 00:21:39.940
 and that they should

00:21:39.940 --> 00:21:40.720
 proclaim it

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:41.920
 and publish it

00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:42.980
 in all their towns

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:43.940
 and in Jerusalem.

00:21:44.800 --> 00:21:46.100
 Go out to the hills

00:21:46.100 --> 00:21:47.520
 and bring branches

00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:48.220
 of olive,

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:49.460
 wild olive,

00:21:49.820 --> 00:21:50.220
 myrtle,

00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:50.840
 palm,

00:21:51.260 --> 00:21:52.500
 and other leafy trees

00:21:52.500 --> 00:21:53.540
 to make booths

00:21:53.540 --> 00:21:54.280
 as it is written.

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:56.099
 So the people went out

00:21:56.099 --> 00:21:56.759
 and brought them

00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:57.519
 and made booths

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.139
 for themselves,

00:21:58.920 --> 00:21:59.879
 each on his roof

00:21:59.879 --> 00:22:01.420
 and in their courts

00:22:01.420 --> 00:22:02.180
 and in the courts

00:22:02.180 --> 00:22:03.440
 of the house of God

00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:04.779
 and in the square

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:05.759
 at the water gate

00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:06.859
 and in the square

00:22:06.859 --> 00:22:08.819
 at the gate of Ephraim.

00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:10.639
 And all the assembly

00:22:10.639 --> 00:22:11.839
 of those who had returned

00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:13.359
 from the captivity

00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:14.460
 made booths

00:22:14.460 --> 00:22:16.660
 and lived in the booths.

00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:17.859
 For from the days

00:22:17.859 --> 00:22:18.599
 of Jeshua,

00:22:18.779 --> 00:22:19.539
 the son of Nun,

00:22:20.019 --> 00:22:20.779
 to that day,

00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:22.339
 the people of Israel

00:22:22.339 --> 00:22:23.519
 had not done so.

00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:24.639
 And there was

00:22:24.639 --> 00:22:26.379
 very great rejoicing.

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:28.199
 And day by day,

00:22:28.639 --> 00:22:29.679
 from the first day

00:22:29.679 --> 00:22:30.779
 to the last day,

00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:32.500
 he read from the book

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:33.639
 of the law of God

00:22:33.639 --> 00:22:35.240
 that kept the feast

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:36.379
 seven days.

00:22:36.939 --> 00:22:38.399
 And on the eighth day,

00:22:38.899 --> 00:22:40.459
 there was a solemn assembly

00:22:40.459 --> 00:22:42.919
 according to the rule.

00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:44.480
 Amen.

00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:45.319
 And may God bless

00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:45.919
 that reading

00:22:45.919 --> 00:22:47.699
 from his word.

00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:50.279
 Before we turn back

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:50.980
 to this passage,

00:22:51.099 --> 00:22:51.819
 we'll read again,

00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:52.899
 sing again,

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:55.119
 in Psalm 47.

00:22:56.420 --> 00:22:57.680
 We'll sing Psalm's version,

00:22:57.879 --> 00:23:00.399
 page 62 of the psalm books.

00:23:01.059 --> 00:23:02.180
 Psalm 47,

00:23:02.299 --> 00:23:03.059
 we'll sing the whole

00:23:03.059 --> 00:23:03.740
 of this psalm,

00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:05.180
 the tune is Duke Street.

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.619
 All nations,

00:23:06.980 --> 00:23:07.839
 clap your hands

00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:08.399
 and shout.

00:23:08.859 --> 00:23:10.319
 Let joyful cries

00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:11.500
 to God ring out.

00:23:11.579 --> 00:23:12.220
 How awesome

00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:14.420
 is the Lord Most High,

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:15.259
 great King,

00:23:15.740 --> 00:23:17.220
 who rules the earth

00:23:17.220 --> 00:23:17.799
 throughout.

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:18.740
 We'll sing the whole

00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:19.500
 of this psalm

00:23:19.500 --> 00:23:20.980
 to God's praise.

00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:21.380
 Amen.

00:23:21.380 --> 00:23:21.660
 Amen.

00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:29.099
 All nations,

00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:32.720
 clap your hands

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:35.299
 and shout.

00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:39.480
 Play joyful cries

00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:44.240
 to God ring out.

00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:53.480
 How awesome is the Lord Most High,

00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:55.660
 great King,

00:23:55.660 --> 00:23:59.380
 who rules the earth

00:23:59.380 --> 00:24:01.880
 to rise.

00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:06.220
 He has subdued

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:11.000
 believe the free,

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:16.200
 the nations who have

00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:19.779
 in our foes.

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:22.380
 In blessing,

00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:24.000
 Jacob,

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:28.819
 whom he loved,

00:24:29.339 --> 00:24:31.920
 a heritage

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:35.119
 for us,

00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:37.000
 he chose.

00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:42.140
 God has gone up

00:24:42.140 --> 00:24:47.240
 with shams of joy,

00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.740
 the Lord,

00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:52.579
 how it let

00:24:52.579 --> 00:24:56.119
 have a sound.

00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:57.619
 Sing,

00:24:57.819 --> 00:24:58.559
 grace,

00:24:58.559 --> 00:24:58.960
 sing,

00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:00.099
 pledge

00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:02.420
 to God

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:05.380
 Most High,

00:25:05.380 --> 00:25:06.620
 God

00:25:06.620 --> 00:25:07.760
 to God

00:25:07.760 --> 00:25:09.380
 our King,

00:25:09.380 --> 00:25:11.620
 let grace

00:25:11.620 --> 00:25:13.620
 happen.

00:25:13.620 --> 00:25:18.500
 For God is King,

00:25:18.620 --> 00:25:21.260
 O Holy

00:25:21.260 --> 00:25:23.160
 Earth,

00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:27.460
 sing sounds of praise

00:25:27.460 --> 00:25:31.700
 to Him alone.

00:25:31.700 --> 00:25:36.700
 God rules the nations

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:41.420
 from on high,

00:25:41.420 --> 00:25:45.579
 He sits upon

00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:50.220
 His holy throne.

00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:56.000
 Godifies it.

00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:06.400
 God bless

00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.460
 your crown

00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:10.339
 To Him

00:26:10.339 --> 00:26:11.039
 beyond

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.360
 the shields

00:26:14.360 --> 00:26:16.660
 of earth

00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:18.220
ängen

00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:26.039
 Exalted great, the extra Lord.

00:26:30.600 --> 00:26:35.059
 We'll turn back to our reading in Nehemiah chapter 8.

00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.039
 We can read again at verse 9 through to verse 12 there.

00:26:41.900 --> 00:26:46.600
 Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe,

00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:50.139
 and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people,

00:26:50.719 --> 00:26:55.159
 This day is holy to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep.

00:26:55.679 --> 00:26:59.559
 For all the people wept as they heard the words of the law.

00:27:00.419 --> 00:27:05.599
 Then he said to them, Go on your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine,

00:27:05.699 --> 00:27:08.939
 and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready.

00:27:09.419 --> 00:27:12.319
 For this day is holy to our Lord.

00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:17.579
 And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

00:27:17.899 --> 00:27:21.419
 So the Levites calmed all the people, saying,

00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.119
 Be quiet, for this day is holy. Do not be grieved.

00:27:26.619 --> 00:27:29.240
 And all the people went on their way to eat and drink,

00:27:29.299 --> 00:27:32.720
 and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing,

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:38.159
 because they had understood the words that were declared to them.

00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:43.800
 Well, our study in Nehemiah comes to this point now,

00:27:43.860 --> 00:27:46.240
 where we find ourselves in chapter 8.

00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:50.820
 And if you think it's hard reading through the beginning of chapter 8 with all these names,

00:27:51.360 --> 00:27:55.420
 if you turn back to chapter 7, you'll see the reason why we jumped over it.

00:27:55.880 --> 00:28:01.820
 It's because there's a whole host of names there of people who returned from the exile.

00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:04.279
 Now, we're not just jumping over to ignore it.

00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:10.359
 We see its importance because it breaks down to us the number of people who were involved in this

00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:16.940
 and who returned to Jerusalem after the exile, after the walls had been restored.

00:28:17.700 --> 00:28:23.799
 And it's these people that we find who have gathered there, as we read in verse 1 of chapter 8,

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:29.740
 all the people gathered as one man into the square before the water gate.

00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:33.880
 There's this whole host of people who have gathered.

00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:37.160
 And what is our vision?

00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:43.559
 That's the question that we often find arising as we study Nehemiah.

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.779
 It's a question that keeps arising as you're going through this great book.

00:28:49.579 --> 00:28:54.980
 And the reason it keeps arising is because it's there before us all the time.

00:28:54.980 --> 00:28:57.559
 What is our vision?

00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:05.519
 It's there as the book starts because Nehemiah himself, we find, is given a reminder.

00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:09.019
 He's told what is happening back in Jerusalem.

00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:16.720
 And he's not happy with how things are in Jerusalem when he hears that the walls are broken down,

00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:19.240
 that the people are in great trouble.

00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:20.860
 He's concerned.

00:29:21.059 --> 00:29:21.640
 He's troubled.

00:29:21.819 --> 00:29:23.460
 He mourns over this.

00:29:23.460 --> 00:29:34.240
 But we find that God gives him this sense of vision to be a man who will come and begin the work of restoring Jerusalem.

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:36.279
 Nehemiah is a visionary.

00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:42.180
 And through the vision that God has given to him, we see that he returns to Jerusalem.

00:29:42.700 --> 00:29:43.380
 He returns.

00:29:43.660 --> 00:29:47.660
 It's a great journey in itself just to return to Jerusalem.

00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:49.819
 It takes a while to get there.

00:29:49.819 --> 00:29:54.919
 And when he arrives, he finds the walls are just all broken down.

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.879
 There's hardly anything left of it.

00:29:58.539 --> 00:30:01.000
 And it would be easy to be discouraged.

00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:06.159
 It would be easy for him to lose heart and think this task is impossible.

00:30:07.159 --> 00:30:10.599
 But he knows that God has given him a vision.

00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:18.599
 And when we've looked through this book of Nehemiah, I've quoted this maybe once or twice before as we've gone through.

00:30:19.059 --> 00:30:21.099
 It's a quote from George Barna.

00:30:21.099 --> 00:30:30.259
 I think it's helpful to always have this quote before us as well because it helps us remind ourselves that we need to be a people of vision as well.

00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:32.599
 George Barna once said,

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:40.779
 Vision is the ability to understand the history, the present condition, and the potential of the church,

00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:46.740
 and to conceive a plan for action that will maximize the ministry potential.

00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:50.319
 It goes on a little bit after that as well.

00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:56.619
 And what we've seen is the vision that Nehemiah was one that had history behind it,

00:30:57.339 --> 00:30:59.919
 the history of Jerusalem as a great city.

00:31:00.539 --> 00:31:04.200
 It had the present condition involved in it as well,

00:31:04.500 --> 00:31:07.179
 that Jerusalem was a city that's walled.

00:31:07.299 --> 00:31:08.839
 The walls were broken down.

00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:10.419
 The gates were burned.

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:12.639
 It was a place in trouble.

00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:15.200
 But as George Barna says,

00:31:15.320 --> 00:31:18.740
 It's the potential of the church as well.

00:31:18.800 --> 00:31:24.960
 And to conceive a plan for action that will maximize the ministry potential.

00:31:25.940 --> 00:31:28.680
 And really that's the stage we're at now.

00:31:28.780 --> 00:31:29.740
 We've seen the history.

00:31:29.900 --> 00:31:31.960
 We've seen the condition it was in.

00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:37.200
 But now we're seeing the great potential that there is in Jerusalem.

00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:42.319
 And we ask ourselves too, for our own context here today,

00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:44.980
 what is our vision?

00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:50.860
 Has going through Nehemiah stirred up our vision for the church here,

00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:52.919
 in terms of its history,

00:31:53.299 --> 00:31:55.819
 in terms of its present condition,

00:31:56.419 --> 00:31:59.019
 and in terms too of its potential.

00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:02.559
 To see what God has done,

00:32:03.159 --> 00:32:05.519
 to see where we are today.

00:32:05.659 --> 00:32:07.279
 It's not where we would want to be,

00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.799
 to see the troubles that are around us,

00:32:09.859 --> 00:32:12.179
 but not to fall short there and think,

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:13.859
 well, what can we do now?

00:32:14.479 --> 00:32:16.319
 To be like Nehemiah coming back

00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:20.599
 and not seeing a place in disarray and disillusionment

00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:22.480
 and thinking, what is possible here?

00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:23.039
 There's nothing.

00:32:23.179 --> 00:32:24.519
 It's just a place of ruin.

00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:26.480
 But to have a vision

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:29.339
 and to see a God-given vision

00:32:29.339 --> 00:32:31.519
 and a God-given potential

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:33.500
 for where we are at today.

00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:38.500
 When we think of our own vision in a physical sense,

00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:41.559
 there are a number of things that can hinder

00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:43.779
 our vision physically.

00:32:44.980 --> 00:32:46.200
 There's blindness.

00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:49.679
 Caused by maybe a number of different things.

00:32:50.220 --> 00:32:52.399
 We can be a people who are blind.

00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:56.819
 Our vision can also be hampered by darkness.

00:32:57.819 --> 00:32:59.740
 If there's darkness all around us,

00:33:00.159 --> 00:33:01.179
 our vision is hampered

00:33:01.179 --> 00:33:03.819
 because we cannot see where we're going.

00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:06.720
 But there's a third one as well

00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:08.359
 that hampers our vision.

00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:10.759
 And that is sleeping.

00:33:11.659 --> 00:33:13.059
 When we're sleeping,

00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:14.679
 we're not seeing.

00:33:15.179 --> 00:33:16.059
 We're not aware.

00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:18.899
 We're not aware of what is happening around us.

00:33:19.740 --> 00:33:21.480
 And when you think of these three things

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:22.799
 in a spiritual sense,

00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:24.599
 you could say the same applies.

00:33:25.879 --> 00:33:27.819
 There are three things that can hinder

00:33:27.819 --> 00:33:29.659
 our vision spiritually.

00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:32.039
 There is darkness.

00:33:33.099 --> 00:33:34.559
 There is blindness.

00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.419
 These two are often maybe the ones

00:33:37.419 --> 00:33:39.220
 that we look at most often.

00:33:39.639 --> 00:33:42.019
 Blindness, the Bible speaks of so often.

00:33:42.139 --> 00:33:44.019
 We don't see God.

00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:45.779
 We are blind.

00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:47.460
 We're dead, as it were,

00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:49.279
 in our trespasses and sins,

00:33:49.339 --> 00:33:50.480
 as the Bible says.

00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.660
 We don't see our need of God.

00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:56.960
 And yet what we read in the Bible is

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:59.000
 that God can save us.

00:33:59.140 --> 00:34:01.599
 God can restore our sight.

00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:05.740
 We're surrounded by darkness as well.

00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:09.500
 The Bible again reminds us of that so often.

00:34:10.019 --> 00:34:13.219
 There's darkness all around us in this world.

00:34:13.219 --> 00:34:15.239
 But it says to us, too,

00:34:15.319 --> 00:34:16.059
 as you read through,

00:34:16.219 --> 00:34:18.019
 that Christ has come

00:34:18.019 --> 00:34:20.099
 to be the light of the world,

00:34:20.879 --> 00:34:21.919
 that there is a cure

00:34:21.919 --> 00:34:23.639
 for both of these.

00:34:24.759 --> 00:34:26.659
 But what about when it comes

00:34:26.659 --> 00:34:28.000
 to sleeping?

00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:31.559
 As a church,

00:34:31.619 --> 00:34:32.440
 as a people,

00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:35.139
 if we're spiritually sleeping,

00:34:36.059 --> 00:34:37.739
 it's not that we're dead,

00:34:38.179 --> 00:34:40.420
 but we're not alive either.

00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:41.679
 We're not living for God.

00:34:41.739 --> 00:34:43.519
 We're just in this slumber.

00:34:44.019 --> 00:34:45.119
 We're not aware

00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:47.500
 of what's going on around us.

00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:49.579
 We're ignorant to it.

00:34:50.780 --> 00:34:52.639
 It can lead to discouragement.

00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.219
 It can lead to dismay for us.

00:34:55.980 --> 00:34:57.900
 And what's the cure for that?

00:34:58.960 --> 00:34:59.659
 Well, again,

00:35:00.340 --> 00:35:01.719
 it's about Christ

00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:05.019
 and having a vision of him

00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:07.860
 and of what he can do for us.

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:09.039
 We heard this morning

00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:12.460
 how the psalmist was saying to God,

00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:14.539
 are you asleep?

00:35:14.820 --> 00:35:16.159
 Will you not awaken

00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:18.019
 and come and help us?

00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:20.900
 Well, God sometimes says

00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:22.420
 to his people as well,

00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:25.420
 it's time for you to wake up.

00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:26.820
 We're reminded this morning,

00:35:26.820 --> 00:35:28.680
 God does not sleep,

00:35:29.600 --> 00:35:31.400
 but we sometimes do.

00:35:33.100 --> 00:35:35.640
 Ephesians chapter 5, verse 14.

00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:38.180
 There the context is talking

00:35:38.180 --> 00:35:39.940
 about darkness and light

00:35:39.940 --> 00:35:41.860
 and which one we're walking in.

00:35:42.580 --> 00:35:44.180
 And it says in verse 14,

00:35:44.740 --> 00:35:46.080
 awake, O sleeper,

00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:48.039
 and arise from the dead,

00:35:48.420 --> 00:35:51.380
 and Christ will shine in you.

00:35:51.380 --> 00:35:53.760
 A wake-up call.

00:35:54.160 --> 00:35:56.720
 And that is what Nehemiah came

00:35:56.720 --> 00:35:58.380
 to his people with.

00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:01.420
 It was a wake-up call for them,

00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:04.059
 calling the people to awake and arise

00:36:04.059 --> 00:36:06.119
 and to get on with the work

00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:08.500
 of restoration of Jerusalem.

00:36:08.500 --> 00:36:10.699
 And this evening,

00:36:10.820 --> 00:36:11.960
 we come to the point

00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:14.119
 in the book where we almost see

00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:16.519
 this vision that Nehemiah had

00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:17.340
 for his people

00:36:17.340 --> 00:36:19.659
 and for Jerusalem fulfilled.

00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:21.800
 Almost,

00:36:22.579 --> 00:36:23.659
 but not fully.

00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:26.500
 And what we find here is

00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:27.840
 that the fulfillment

00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:28.820
 is found

00:36:28.820 --> 00:36:30.199
 in the Lord.

00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.639
 And these verses

00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:33.219
 that we read

00:36:33.219 --> 00:36:34.559
 in verse 9 to 12

00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:35.339
 in particular,

00:36:35.939 --> 00:36:37.679
 here we see a culmination

00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:38.839
 of all this work

00:36:38.839 --> 00:36:40.039
 where he says,

00:36:40.279 --> 00:36:41.579
 do not mourn or weep.

00:36:42.059 --> 00:36:43.239
 For all the people wept

00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:44.079
 as they heard

00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:45.319
 the word of the Lord.

00:36:45.379 --> 00:36:46.119
 Then he said to them,

00:36:46.219 --> 00:36:47.019
 go on your way,

00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:49.159
 eat and drink sweet wine

00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:50.139
 and send portions

00:36:50.139 --> 00:36:50.719
 to anyone

00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:51.799
 who has nothing.

00:36:51.919 --> 00:36:52.919
 Ready for this day

00:36:52.919 --> 00:36:53.559
 is holy

00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:55.019
 to our Lord.

00:36:55.099 --> 00:36:56.299
 And do not be grieved

00:36:56.299 --> 00:36:58.919
 for the joy of the Lord

00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:00.800
 is your strength.

00:37:02.180 --> 00:37:03.900
 For the joy of the Lord

00:37:03.900 --> 00:37:05.920
 is your strength.

00:37:07.099 --> 00:37:09.300
 This was a momentous moment

00:37:09.300 --> 00:37:10.539
 for the people

00:37:10.539 --> 00:37:11.440
 as they returned

00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:12.840
 to Jerusalem.

00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:14.820
 And we're going to see that.

00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:15.680
 We're going to see

00:37:15.680 --> 00:37:16.960
 the potential

00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:18.340
 that Nehemiah

00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:20.000
 is beginning to see fulfilled

00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.019
 in this place.

00:37:23.659 --> 00:37:25.119
 Potential that is found

00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:26.659
 even in the midst

00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:27.659
 of difficulty,

00:37:27.659 --> 00:37:29.279
 in the midst of weeping,

00:37:29.359 --> 00:37:30.619
 in the midst of grief.

00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:32.639
 We find that the Lord

00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:33.359
 is speaking.

00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:34.859
 The joy of the Lord

00:37:34.859 --> 00:37:36.859
 is your strength.

00:37:38.059 --> 00:37:38.799
 We were reminded

00:37:38.799 --> 00:37:39.839
 this morning too

00:37:39.839 --> 00:37:41.639
 of how it's often

00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:42.440
 in trials

00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:44.000
 that we see

00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:45.539
 and need the Lord

00:37:45.539 --> 00:37:46.339
 more and more.

00:37:46.460 --> 00:37:47.219
 William Cowper,

00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:49.579
 God moves in mysterious ways.

00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:51.119
 We heard how he wrote that

00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:53.799
 in difficult personal circumstances

00:37:53.799 --> 00:37:54.559
 himself.

00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:56.299
 Well, another one

00:37:56.299 --> 00:37:57.119
 who wrote

00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:57.960
 in very difficult

00:37:57.960 --> 00:37:59.440
 personal circumstances

00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.579
 was Horatio Spafford.

00:38:02.460 --> 00:38:03.279
 He wrote that

00:38:03.279 --> 00:38:05.039
 wonderful hymn,

00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:06.380
 It is well

00:38:06.380 --> 00:38:07.880
 with my soul.

00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:09.320
 He said,

00:38:09.420 --> 00:38:10.599
 When peace like a river

00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:12.199
 attendeth my way,

00:38:12.279 --> 00:38:12.960
 when sorrows

00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:14.299
 like sea billows roll,

00:38:14.699 --> 00:38:15.860
 whatever my Lord

00:38:15.860 --> 00:38:16.759
 there has taught me

00:38:16.759 --> 00:38:17.380
 to say,

00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:18.820
 it is well,

00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:19.980
 it is well

00:38:19.980 --> 00:38:20.980
 with my soul.

00:38:20.980 --> 00:38:21.960
 I think,

00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:22.159
 well,

00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:23.420
 he must have been

00:38:23.420 --> 00:38:24.639
 in a wonderful place

00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:25.320
 in his life

00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:26.659
 to write these words,

00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:28.260
 to say it is well

00:38:28.260 --> 00:38:29.679
 with my soul.

00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:30.920
 Well,

00:38:30.940 --> 00:38:31.679
 it wasn't

00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:33.280
 a wonderful time

00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:34.619
 in his life.

00:38:35.420 --> 00:38:36.320
 He had lost

00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:37.079
 a son

00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:38.679
 aged four,

00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:40.880
 not long before this.

00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:43.079
 He wrote these words.

00:38:43.740 --> 00:38:44.840
 He had lost

00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:46.219
 financially.

00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:47.420
 His business

00:38:47.420 --> 00:38:48.179
 was ruined

00:38:48.179 --> 00:38:49.440
 through a great fire

00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:50.760
 in Chicago.

00:38:51.940 --> 00:38:53.360
 He had lost

00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:54.740
 four daughters

00:38:54.740 --> 00:38:56.320
 who he had sent

00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:57.159
 with his wife

00:38:57.159 --> 00:38:58.119
 over to England

00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.880
 by boat

00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:00.019
 and the boat

00:39:00.019 --> 00:39:01.539
 was tragically sunk.

00:39:02.820 --> 00:39:03.740
 It was a time

00:39:03.740 --> 00:39:04.880
 of great dismay

00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:05.579
 and sorrow

00:39:05.579 --> 00:39:07.139
 in his life.

00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:08.780
 And it was as he was

00:39:08.780 --> 00:39:09.820
 sailing to England

00:39:09.820 --> 00:39:10.440
 himself

00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:10.960
 and as he was

00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:12.179
 passing the spot

00:39:12.179 --> 00:39:13.539
 where his daughters

00:39:13.539 --> 00:39:14.280
 had drowned

00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:15.579
 that he went back

00:39:15.579 --> 00:39:16.400
 to his cabin

00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:17.619
 and wrote

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:18.740
 these words

00:39:18.739 --> 00:39:20.979
 where he could find

00:39:20.979 --> 00:39:22.000
 that even in the midst

00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:22.979
 of that he could say

00:39:22.979 --> 00:39:23.719
 it is well,

00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:25.099
 it is well

00:39:25.099 --> 00:39:26.599
 with my soul.

00:39:27.659 --> 00:39:28.219
 The joy

00:39:28.219 --> 00:39:29.719
 of the Lord

00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:31.179
 was a strength

00:39:31.179 --> 00:39:31.759
 to him.

00:39:32.759 --> 00:39:33.819
 Do you have

00:39:33.819 --> 00:39:35.500
 that strength

00:39:35.500 --> 00:39:36.279
 from

00:39:36.279 --> 00:39:37.559
 that joy

00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:38.819
 of the Lord?

00:39:38.820 --> 00:39:39.380
 There's three

00:39:39.380 --> 00:39:40.080
 things I want

00:39:40.080 --> 00:39:40.820
 us to see

00:39:40.820 --> 00:39:42.000
 from these

00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:43.260
 verses before us

00:39:43.260 --> 00:39:43.880
 this evening.

00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:44.500
 When we think

00:39:44.500 --> 00:39:45.440
 of these words,

00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:46.539
 the joy

00:39:46.539 --> 00:39:47.300
 of the Lord

00:39:47.300 --> 00:39:49.380
 is our strength.

00:39:50.340 --> 00:39:50.960
 And the first

00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:51.440
 thing we want

00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:52.100
 to see is

00:39:52.100 --> 00:39:53.760
 how these

00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:54.360
 words

00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:55.680
 humble us.

00:39:56.980 --> 00:39:57.940
 Then we see

00:39:57.940 --> 00:39:58.480
 how these

00:39:58.480 --> 00:39:59.120
 words

00:39:59.120 --> 00:40:00.740
 lift us up.

00:40:01.500 --> 00:40:02.080
 And then

00:40:02.080 --> 00:40:02.580
 thirdly,

00:40:02.580 --> 00:40:03.039
 we'll see

00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:03.539
 how these

00:40:03.539 --> 00:40:04.140
 words

00:40:04.139 --> 00:40:05.359
 they keep

00:40:05.359 --> 00:40:05.719
 us

00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:06.539
 going.

00:40:07.699 --> 00:40:08.400
 And the first

00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:08.900
 thing we see

00:40:08.900 --> 00:40:09.339
 here is

00:40:09.339 --> 00:40:10.239
 these words

00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:11.579
 humble us.

00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:13.779
 What did

00:40:13.779 --> 00:40:14.679
 Nehemiah want

00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:15.519
 as he came

00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:16.819
 to Jerusalem?

00:40:17.759 --> 00:40:18.400
 What was his

00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:19.119
 great desire?

00:40:19.219 --> 00:40:19.619
 What was his

00:40:19.619 --> 00:40:20.279
 great vision?

00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:21.219
 And when

00:40:21.219 --> 00:40:21.699
 would his

00:40:21.699 --> 00:40:22.659
 vision be

00:40:22.659 --> 00:40:23.219
 fulfilled?

00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:24.599
 At what

00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:25.199
 point

00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:25.739
 was it

00:40:25.739 --> 00:40:26.440
 the work

00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:26.980
 done?

00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:28.659
 You might

00:40:28.659 --> 00:40:29.179
 have said

00:40:29.179 --> 00:40:29.739
 in chapter

00:40:29.739 --> 00:40:30.460
 6

00:40:30.460 --> 00:40:32.039
 verse 15

00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:33.179
 there you

00:40:33.179 --> 00:40:33.699
 could see

00:40:33.699 --> 00:40:34.379
 well that's

00:40:34.379 --> 00:40:34.659
 it.

00:40:35.219 --> 00:40:35.679
 The work

00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:36.119
 is done.

00:40:36.219 --> 00:40:36.559
 His vision

00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:37.319
 is complete.

00:40:37.460 --> 00:40:37.679
 What does

00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:38.119
 it say?

00:40:38.799 --> 00:40:39.199
 So the

00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:39.879
 wall was

00:40:39.879 --> 00:40:40.419
 finished

00:40:40.419 --> 00:40:41.399
 on the

00:40:41.399 --> 00:40:42.279
 25th day

00:40:42.279 --> 00:40:42.599
 of the

00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:43.480
 month of

00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:44.099
 Elul

00:40:44.099 --> 00:40:45.059
 in the

00:40:45.059 --> 00:40:45.839
 52

00:40:45.839 --> 00:40:47.000
 days.

00:40:48.279 --> 00:40:48.659
 You might

00:40:48.659 --> 00:40:49.239
 think there.

00:40:50.659 --> 00:40:51.219
 That's the

00:40:51.219 --> 00:40:51.699
 point where

00:40:51.699 --> 00:40:52.099
 his vision

00:40:52.099 --> 00:40:52.719
 was complete.

00:40:52.819 --> 00:40:53.559
 The walls

00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:54.759
 are finished.

00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:56.879
 But that's

00:40:56.879 --> 00:40:57.339
 not it.

00:40:58.439 --> 00:40:59.079
 That's not

00:40:59.079 --> 00:40:59.779
 the fulfillment

00:40:59.779 --> 00:41:01.000
 of his

00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:01.359
 vision.

00:41:02.339 --> 00:41:02.759
 You might

00:41:02.759 --> 00:41:03.460
 then say

00:41:03.460 --> 00:41:03.940
 well it

00:41:03.940 --> 00:41:04.380
 must be

00:41:04.380 --> 00:41:05.220
 chapter 7

00:41:05.220 --> 00:41:05.480
 then.

00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:06.780
 When you

00:41:06.780 --> 00:41:07.380
 read through

00:41:07.380 --> 00:41:08.559
 chapter 7

00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:08.860
 and you

00:41:08.860 --> 00:41:09.820
 see all

00:41:09.820 --> 00:41:10.360
 these great

00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:10.980
 numbers

00:41:10.980 --> 00:41:11.679
 returning

00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:12.920
 to Jerusalem

00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:14.320
 was this

00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:14.880
 the point

00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:15.179
 where he

00:41:15.179 --> 00:41:15.720
 could say

00:41:15.720 --> 00:41:16.860
 my work

00:41:16.860 --> 00:41:17.440
 is done?

00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:18.599
 My vision

00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:19.860
 is fulfilled?

00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:21.440
 No

00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:23.340
 it wasn't.

00:41:24.059 --> 00:41:24.940
 It's what

00:41:24.940 --> 00:41:25.679
 we find

00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:27.159
 in chapter

00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:27.840
 8.

00:41:29.220 --> 00:41:29.699
 And what

00:41:29.699 --> 00:41:30.360
 we find

00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:31.000
 in chapter

00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:31.639
 8 is a

00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:32.179
 reminder

00:41:32.179 --> 00:41:32.900
 to us

00:41:32.900 --> 00:41:33.780
 that the

00:41:33.780 --> 00:41:34.039
 great

00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:34.599
 burden

00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:34.920
 that

00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:35.579
 Nehemiah

00:41:35.579 --> 00:41:36.019
 had

00:41:36.019 --> 00:41:36.960
 was not

00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:37.500
 just for

00:41:37.500 --> 00:41:38.420
 the walls

00:41:38.420 --> 00:41:39.739
 of Jerusalem.

00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:41.059
 It was

00:41:41.059 --> 00:41:41.940
 not just

00:41:41.940 --> 00:41:42.239
 for a

00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:42.820
 material

00:41:42.820 --> 00:41:43.800
 outlook on

00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:44.260
 Jerusalem.

00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:45.539
 His great

00:41:45.539 --> 00:41:46.019
 burden

00:41:46.019 --> 00:41:46.900
 was for

00:41:46.900 --> 00:41:47.579
 the people.

00:41:48.659 --> 00:41:49.199
 It was

00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:50.019
 the people

00:41:50.019 --> 00:41:51.019
 who were

00:41:51.019 --> 00:41:52.099
 in trouble.

00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:53.900
 And this

00:41:53.900 --> 00:41:54.380
 is where we

00:41:54.380 --> 00:41:55.019
 begin to

00:41:55.019 --> 00:41:56.300
 see his

00:41:56.300 --> 00:41:56.760
 vision

00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:57.619
 fulfilled.

00:41:57.619 --> 00:41:58.940
 as the

00:41:58.940 --> 00:41:59.400
 people

00:41:59.400 --> 00:41:59.980
 hear in

00:41:59.980 --> 00:42:00.480
 the beginning

00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:00.960
 of verse

00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:01.239
 8,

00:42:01.739 --> 00:42:01.859
 they

00:42:01.859 --> 00:42:02.219
 command

00:42:02.219 --> 00:42:02.539
 the

00:42:02.539 --> 00:42:03.199
 hearing

00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:04.199
 of the

00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:04.679
 word.

00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:06.659
 Ezra

00:42:06.659 --> 00:42:07.900
 brings

00:42:07.900 --> 00:42:08.679
 the book

00:42:08.679 --> 00:42:09.559
 before them.

00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:10.319
 The book

00:42:10.319 --> 00:42:10.619
 of the

00:42:10.619 --> 00:42:10.960
 law

00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:12.099
 of Moses

00:42:12.099 --> 00:42:12.659
 it says

00:42:12.659 --> 00:42:13.119
 in verse

00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:13.500
 1.

00:42:14.460 --> 00:42:14.739
 And it

00:42:14.739 --> 00:42:15.019
 was a

00:42:15.019 --> 00:42:15.279
 book

00:42:15.279 --> 00:42:16.460
 that was

00:42:16.460 --> 00:42:17.440
 to be

00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:18.159
 opened up

00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:18.420
 and to

00:42:18.420 --> 00:42:19.159
 be heard

00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:20.319
 by them.

00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:23.019
 The people

00:42:23.019 --> 00:42:23.359
 had had

00:42:23.359 --> 00:42:23.799
 much

00:42:23.799 --> 00:42:24.500
 to be

00:42:24.500 --> 00:42:25.259
 distressed

00:42:25.259 --> 00:42:25.880
 about.

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:27.119
 They

00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:27.680
 had been

00:42:27.680 --> 00:42:28.900
 in exile.

00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:29.220
 They were

00:42:29.220 --> 00:42:29.700
 returning

00:42:29.700 --> 00:42:30.200
 from this

00:42:30.200 --> 00:42:30.740
 period of

00:42:30.740 --> 00:42:31.220
 exile.

00:42:31.720 --> 00:42:31.940
 They were

00:42:31.940 --> 00:42:32.400
 returning

00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:32.900
 to a

00:42:32.900 --> 00:42:33.240
 place

00:42:33.240 --> 00:42:33.940
 that had

00:42:33.940 --> 00:42:34.300
 been a

00:42:34.300 --> 00:42:34.940
 shambles,

00:42:35.059 --> 00:42:35.280
 that had

00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:35.940
 been broken

00:42:35.940 --> 00:42:36.360
 down,

00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:37.079
 their homes

00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:37.960
 ruined,

00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:38.599
 the city

00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:39.200
 ruined.

00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:40.740
 And they

00:42:40.740 --> 00:42:41.539
 had returned

00:42:41.539 --> 00:42:42.860
 hearing and

00:42:42.860 --> 00:42:43.380
 knowing that

00:42:43.380 --> 00:42:43.840
 it was

00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:44.440
 because they

00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:44.920
 hadn't

00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:45.360
 listened

00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:46.640
 to God,

00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:48.039
 that they

00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:48.900
 had rejected

00:42:48.900 --> 00:42:50.039
 God.

00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:51.860
 And this

00:42:51.860 --> 00:42:52.300
 is brought

00:42:52.300 --> 00:42:52.800
 home to

00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:53.099
 them as

00:42:53.099 --> 00:42:53.740
 they hear

00:42:53.740 --> 00:42:54.660
 Ezra

00:42:54.660 --> 00:42:55.720
 read the

00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:56.500
 word of

00:42:56.500 --> 00:42:57.159
 God to

00:42:57.159 --> 00:42:57.419
 them.

00:42:58.799 --> 00:42:59.379
 And what

00:42:59.379 --> 00:42:59.779
 did this

00:42:59.779 --> 00:43:00.599
 word do?

00:43:02.339 --> 00:43:02.879
 Well,

00:43:02.919 --> 00:43:03.219
 as they

00:43:03.219 --> 00:43:03.839
 hear the

00:43:03.839 --> 00:43:04.699
 word read,

00:43:05.500 --> 00:43:06.299
 it humbled

00:43:06.299 --> 00:43:06.679
 them.

00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:08.319
 And when

00:43:08.319 --> 00:43:08.599
 you look

00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:08.959
 at this,

00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:09.519
 you find

00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:10.419
 that they

00:43:10.419 --> 00:43:11.159
 were here

00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:11.799
 together on

00:43:11.799 --> 00:43:12.239
 the first

00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:12.679
 day of

00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:13.299
 the seventh

00:43:13.299 --> 00:43:13.719
 month.

00:43:13.799 --> 00:43:13.980
 They were

00:43:13.980 --> 00:43:15.039
 hearing the

00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:15.899
 word read,

00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:16.619
 it says in

00:43:16.619 --> 00:43:17.939
 verse 3,

00:43:18.079 --> 00:43:18.679
 from early

00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:20.119
 morning until

00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:21.239
 midday.

00:43:22.359 --> 00:43:22.879
 Around

00:43:22.879 --> 00:43:23.579
 five or

00:43:23.579 --> 00:43:24.439
 six hours

00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:24.800
 they were

00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:25.220
 gathered

00:43:25.220 --> 00:43:25.860
 together

00:43:25.860 --> 00:43:27.179
 hearing the

00:43:27.179 --> 00:43:28.400
 word of

00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:28.860
 God.

00:43:29.720 --> 00:43:30.099
 And you

00:43:30.099 --> 00:43:30.840
 notice three

00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:31.539
 things that

00:43:31.539 --> 00:43:32.360
 this was

00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:33.280
 doing for

00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:34.340
 them, that

00:43:34.340 --> 00:43:35.019
 was happening

00:43:35.019 --> 00:43:35.420
 in their

00:43:35.420 --> 00:43:36.240
 midst here.

00:43:36.720 --> 00:43:37.300
 First of

00:43:37.300 --> 00:43:37.940
 all, they

00:43:37.940 --> 00:43:38.420
 listened.

00:43:39.300 --> 00:43:39.679
 And you

00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:40.360
 see that

00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:41.639
 in verse

00:43:41.639 --> 00:43:42.260
 three.

00:43:43.539 --> 00:43:44.280
 They were

00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:46.300
 there before

00:43:46.300 --> 00:43:46.880
 God, they

00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:47.460
 were hearing

00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:48.740
 this word.

00:43:48.820 --> 00:43:49.059
 And at the

00:43:49.059 --> 00:43:49.579
 end of verse

00:43:49.579 --> 00:43:50.000
 three it

00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:50.200
 says,

00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:50.919
 all the

00:43:50.919 --> 00:43:51.519
 ears of

00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:52.139
 the people

00:43:52.139 --> 00:43:53.379
 were attentive

00:43:53.379 --> 00:43:54.139
 to the

00:43:54.139 --> 00:43:55.139
 book of

00:43:55.139 --> 00:43:55.619
 the law.

00:43:56.659 --> 00:43:57.099
 They were

00:43:57.099 --> 00:43:58.259
 listening to

00:43:58.259 --> 00:43:59.139
 every word

00:43:59.139 --> 00:43:59.839
 that was

00:43:59.839 --> 00:44:00.679
 being spoken.

00:44:01.779 --> 00:44:02.460
 They were

00:44:02.460 --> 00:44:03.019
 beginning to

00:44:03.019 --> 00:44:04.019
 understand

00:44:04.019 --> 00:44:05.699
 every word

00:44:05.699 --> 00:44:06.539
 that was

00:44:06.539 --> 00:44:07.419
 being spoken

00:44:07.419 --> 00:44:07.859
 as well,

00:44:07.919 --> 00:44:08.359
 because that's

00:44:08.359 --> 00:44:08.759
 the second

00:44:08.759 --> 00:44:09.199
 thing we

00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:09.759
 see here.

00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:10.439
 They were

00:44:10.439 --> 00:44:11.299
 helped to

00:44:11.299 --> 00:44:12.199
 understand.

00:44:12.359 --> 00:44:12.639
 In verse

00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:13.779
 seven and

00:44:13.779 --> 00:44:14.139
 eight you

00:44:14.139 --> 00:44:14.419
 have the

00:44:14.419 --> 00:44:14.980
 list of

00:44:14.980 --> 00:44:15.419
 all these

00:44:15.419 --> 00:44:15.960
 people.

00:44:16.639 --> 00:44:17.039
 And it

00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:17.719
 says there,

00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:18.659
 they helped

00:44:18.659 --> 00:44:19.359
 the people

00:44:19.359 --> 00:44:21.000
 to understand

00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:21.939
 the law.

00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:25.219
 So there's

00:44:25.219 --> 00:44:25.779
 these two

00:44:25.779 --> 00:44:26.559
 things going

00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:27.039
 on as a

00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:27.899
 reminder to

00:44:27.899 --> 00:44:28.459
 us of what

00:44:28.459 --> 00:44:29.079
 we are about,

00:44:29.179 --> 00:44:29.519
 isn't it?

00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:29.959
 That we are

00:44:29.959 --> 00:44:31.139
 a people who

00:44:31.139 --> 00:44:31.659
 are to be

00:44:31.659 --> 00:44:32.259
 under the

00:44:32.259 --> 00:44:33.639
 word, but

00:44:33.639 --> 00:44:33.980
 that we are

00:44:33.980 --> 00:44:34.619
 also to be

00:44:34.619 --> 00:44:35.619
 helped to

00:44:35.619 --> 00:44:37.259
 understand the

00:44:37.259 --> 00:44:37.639
 word.

00:44:38.919 --> 00:44:39.679
 If we have

00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:40.599
 questions we

00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:41.439
 should ask,

00:44:41.739 --> 00:44:42.299
 we should be

00:44:42.299 --> 00:44:43.139
 gathered around

00:44:43.139 --> 00:44:44.139
 God's word in

00:44:44.139 --> 00:44:44.819
 this way to

00:44:44.819 --> 00:44:45.679
 help one

00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:46.339
 another to

00:44:46.339 --> 00:44:47.119
 understand.

00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:48.379
 Yes, to

00:44:48.379 --> 00:44:48.899
 listen to

00:44:48.899 --> 00:44:49.339
 the word

00:44:49.339 --> 00:44:51.519
 preached, but

00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:51.939
 then to

00:44:51.939 --> 00:44:52.699
 encourage and

00:44:52.699 --> 00:44:53.299
 to help one

00:44:53.299 --> 00:44:54.419
 another to

00:44:54.419 --> 00:44:56.059
 understand what

00:44:56.059 --> 00:44:56.619
 the word

00:44:56.619 --> 00:44:57.319
 means.

00:44:58.879 --> 00:44:59.399
 And the

00:44:59.399 --> 00:44:59.919
 third thing

00:44:59.919 --> 00:45:00.339
 you see

00:45:00.339 --> 00:45:01.259
 here is that

00:45:01.259 --> 00:45:01.799
 as these

00:45:01.799 --> 00:45:02.319
 things were

00:45:02.319 --> 00:45:02.959
 going on,

00:45:03.019 --> 00:45:03.299
 they were

00:45:03.299 --> 00:45:04.759
 convicted by

00:45:04.759 --> 00:45:05.419
 the word.

00:45:06.339 --> 00:45:06.919
 In verse

00:45:06.919 --> 00:45:08.179
 six, we

00:45:08.179 --> 00:45:08.919
 see that

00:45:08.919 --> 00:45:10.799
 Ezra blessed

00:45:10.799 --> 00:45:11.319
 the Lord,

00:45:11.419 --> 00:45:11.739
 the great

00:45:11.739 --> 00:45:12.579
 God, and

00:45:12.579 --> 00:45:12.899
 all the

00:45:12.899 --> 00:45:13.779
 people answered,

00:45:14.279 --> 00:45:14.599
 Amen,

00:45:14.839 --> 00:45:15.139
 Amen,

00:45:15.859 --> 00:45:16.819
 lifting up

00:45:16.820 --> 00:45:18.120
 their hands

00:45:18.120 --> 00:45:19.580
 to God.

00:45:21.080 --> 00:45:21.500
 And so

00:45:21.500 --> 00:45:21.800
 there was

00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:22.700
 this response

00:45:22.700 --> 00:45:23.100
 to the

00:45:23.100 --> 00:45:23.460
 word, they

00:45:23.460 --> 00:45:24.220
 were convicted

00:45:24.220 --> 00:45:24.900
 by it,

00:45:25.180 --> 00:45:25.880
 initially with

00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:26.660
 a sense of

00:45:26.660 --> 00:45:27.780
 Amen to

00:45:27.780 --> 00:45:28.380
 the word of

00:45:28.380 --> 00:45:28.780
 God.

00:45:29.300 --> 00:45:29.880
 But then you

00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:30.539
 see later

00:45:30.539 --> 00:45:31.980
 on, as you

00:45:31.980 --> 00:45:32.480
 read down

00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:33.000
 into verse

00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:34.360
 nine onwards

00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:35.260
 there, the

00:45:35.260 --> 00:45:35.860
 end of verse

00:45:35.860 --> 00:45:36.320
 nine, it

00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:37.080
 says, for

00:45:37.080 --> 00:45:37.680
 all the

00:45:37.680 --> 00:45:38.620
 people wept

00:45:38.620 --> 00:45:39.420
 as they

00:45:39.420 --> 00:45:40.580
 heard the

00:45:40.580 --> 00:45:41.420
 words of

00:45:41.420 --> 00:45:41.940
 the law.

00:45:41.940 --> 00:45:43.539
 the people

00:45:43.539 --> 00:45:44.940
 wept as

00:45:44.940 --> 00:45:45.519
 they heard

00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:46.260
 the words

00:45:46.260 --> 00:45:47.119
 of the

00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:47.420
 law.

00:45:48.780 --> 00:45:49.179
 They were

00:45:49.179 --> 00:45:49.780
 convicted

00:45:49.780 --> 00:45:50.579
 by it, they

00:45:50.579 --> 00:45:52.099
 needed this

00:45:52.099 --> 00:45:52.559
 word.

00:45:53.340 --> 00:45:54.159
 We need

00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:55.380
 this word

00:45:55.380 --> 00:45:56.079
 ourselves

00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:57.960
 too, because

00:45:57.960 --> 00:45:58.539
 it is this

00:45:58.539 --> 00:45:59.159
 word that

00:45:59.159 --> 00:45:59.880
 helps us to

00:45:59.880 --> 00:46:00.880
 see how

00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:01.639
 far from

00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:02.280
 God we

00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:02.900
 have fallen

00:46:02.900 --> 00:46:05.760
 away, but

00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:06.460
 it helps us

00:46:06.460 --> 00:46:06.960
 to come

00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:07.519
 back to

00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:08.639
 him as

00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:09.039
 well.

00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:10.480
 It is the

00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:11.099
 word of

00:46:11.099 --> 00:46:12.360
 God that

00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:12.900
 brings

00:46:12.900 --> 00:46:13.619
 healing.

00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:15.819
 And that

00:46:15.819 --> 00:46:16.319
 is what

00:46:16.319 --> 00:46:17.039
 we need.

00:46:17.659 --> 00:46:18.279
 Every one

00:46:18.279 --> 00:46:18.799
 of us, that's

00:46:18.799 --> 00:46:19.599
 what our

00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:20.279
 people all

00:46:20.279 --> 00:46:20.960
 around us

00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:21.420
 need, that's

00:46:21.420 --> 00:46:21.739
 what our

00:46:21.739 --> 00:46:22.639
 nations need,

00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:23.639
 the word

00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:24.460
 of God to

00:46:24.460 --> 00:46:26.819
 convict, to

00:46:26.819 --> 00:46:27.659
 remind us

00:46:27.659 --> 00:46:28.519
 who God

00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:28.980
 is.

00:46:29.539 --> 00:46:29.839
 And we

00:46:29.839 --> 00:46:30.199
 can say

00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:30.940
 Amen to

00:46:30.940 --> 00:46:31.420
 so many

00:46:31.420 --> 00:46:33.119
 things, but

00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:33.420
 that to

00:46:33.420 --> 00:46:34.000
 remind us

00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:34.460
 who we

00:46:34.460 --> 00:46:35.319
 are, and

00:46:35.319 --> 00:46:35.799
 to bring us

00:46:35.799 --> 00:46:36.159
 to that

00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:36.839
 point of

00:46:36.839 --> 00:46:38.259
 mourning and

00:46:38.259 --> 00:46:38.759
 weeping.

00:46:41.099 --> 00:46:42.380
 yesterday in

00:46:42.380 --> 00:46:44.159
 Port 3, it

00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:44.880
 was a day of

00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:45.559
 vision being

00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:46.659
 realized there

00:46:46.659 --> 00:46:47.519
 with the

00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:48.440
 official opening

00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:48.940
 of the

00:46:48.940 --> 00:46:49.420
 church.

00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:50.880
 A great

00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:51.539
 day for

00:46:51.539 --> 00:46:52.319
 them and

00:46:52.319 --> 00:46:52.739
 for all

00:46:52.739 --> 00:46:53.480
 concerned.

00:46:54.759 --> 00:46:55.179
 But is

00:46:55.179 --> 00:46:55.699
 that it?

00:46:56.579 --> 00:46:57.239
 Is the

00:46:57.239 --> 00:46:58.000
 work done?

00:46:58.819 --> 00:46:59.579
 Of course

00:46:59.579 --> 00:47:00.000
 not.

00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:01.559
 The vision

00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:03.000
 is ongoing

00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:04.619
 because the

00:47:04.619 --> 00:47:05.239
 vision is to

00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:06.019
 make Jesus

00:47:06.019 --> 00:47:07.279
 known through

00:47:07.279 --> 00:47:07.860
 the preaching

00:47:07.860 --> 00:47:08.699
 of the word

00:47:08.699 --> 00:47:09.639
 in that

00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:10.099
 place.

00:47:11.319 --> 00:47:11.779
 It won't

00:47:11.779 --> 00:47:12.879
 be, come

00:47:12.879 --> 00:47:13.819
 and see

00:47:13.819 --> 00:47:14.419
 this new

00:47:14.419 --> 00:47:14.899
 building.

00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:16.199
 Come and

00:47:16.199 --> 00:47:16.799
 see how

00:47:16.799 --> 00:47:17.579
 warm this

00:47:17.579 --> 00:47:18.219
 space is.

00:47:18.619 --> 00:47:19.079
 Come and

00:47:19.079 --> 00:47:19.519
 see the

00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:20.419
 technology we

00:47:20.419 --> 00:47:20.739
 have.

00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:21.739
 That's not

00:47:21.739 --> 00:47:22.079
 what it

00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:22.339
 will be

00:47:22.339 --> 00:47:22.719
 about.

00:47:24.099 --> 00:47:24.699
 It's

00:47:24.699 --> 00:47:25.139
 about

00:47:25.139 --> 00:47:25.699
 something

00:47:25.699 --> 00:47:26.019
 else,

00:47:26.119 --> 00:47:26.379
 something

00:47:26.379 --> 00:47:26.899
 greater.

00:47:27.439 --> 00:47:27.859
 Come

00:47:27.859 --> 00:47:28.839
 see a

00:47:28.839 --> 00:47:30.000
 man who

00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:30.279
 knows

00:47:30.279 --> 00:47:30.859
 everything

00:47:30.859 --> 00:47:31.719
 about you.

00:47:32.399 --> 00:47:32.779
 Could

00:47:32.779 --> 00:47:33.559
 this be

00:47:33.559 --> 00:47:34.259
 the

00:47:34.259 --> 00:47:34.819
 Christ?

00:47:35.819 --> 00:47:36.199
 It's

00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:36.699
 about the

00:47:36.699 --> 00:47:37.139
 preaching

00:47:37.139 --> 00:47:38.299
 of the

00:47:38.299 --> 00:47:38.679
 word.

00:47:39.739 --> 00:47:40.019
 The

00:47:40.019 --> 00:47:40.539
 city of

00:47:40.539 --> 00:47:41.039
 Glasgow

00:47:41.039 --> 00:47:41.719
 motto as

00:47:41.719 --> 00:47:42.139
 it was

00:47:42.139 --> 00:47:42.679
 originally

00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:43.480
 had that

00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:43.819
 at its

00:47:43.819 --> 00:47:44.079
 very

00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:44.719
 core.

00:47:45.759 --> 00:47:46.039
 Let

00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:46.759
 Lord,

00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:47.359
 let

00:47:47.359 --> 00:47:47.940
 Glasgow

00:47:47.940 --> 00:47:48.539
 flourish

00:47:48.539 --> 00:47:48.900
 through

00:47:48.900 --> 00:47:49.099
 the

00:47:49.099 --> 00:47:49.480
 preaching

00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:49.859
 of the

00:47:49.859 --> 00:47:50.179
 word

00:47:50.179 --> 00:47:50.339
 and

00:47:50.339 --> 00:47:50.539
 the

00:47:50.539 --> 00:47:51.039
 praising

00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:51.819
 of

00:47:51.819 --> 00:47:52.139
 thy

00:47:52.139 --> 00:47:52.539
 name.

00:47:53.659 --> 00:47:53.920
 Now

00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:54.199
 they've

00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:54.619
 shortened

00:47:54.619 --> 00:47:55.119
 it to

00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:55.519
 let

00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:56.119
 Glasgow

00:47:56.119 --> 00:47:57.139
 flourish.

00:47:58.519 --> 00:47:59.059
 But

00:47:59.059 --> 00:47:59.179
 there's

00:47:59.179 --> 00:47:59.619
 no thought

00:47:59.619 --> 00:48:00.019
 of what

00:48:00.019 --> 00:48:00.400
 is going

00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:00.799
 to make

00:48:00.799 --> 00:48:00.940
 it

00:48:00.940 --> 00:48:01.279
 flourish.

00:48:02.339 --> 00:48:02.900
 We

00:48:02.900 --> 00:48:03.119
 have to

00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:03.639
 get back

00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:04.099
 to that

00:48:04.099 --> 00:48:04.500
 Lord,

00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:05.099
 let

00:48:05.099 --> 00:48:05.559
 Glasgow,

00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:05.779
 let

00:48:05.779 --> 00:48:06.199
 everywhere

00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:06.719
 flourish

00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:07.119
 through

00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:07.299
 the

00:48:07.299 --> 00:48:07.659
 preaching

00:48:07.659 --> 00:48:07.959
 of

00:48:07.959 --> 00:48:08.139
 thy

00:48:08.139 --> 00:48:08.539
 word

00:48:08.539 --> 00:48:09.079
 and

00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:09.259
 the

00:48:09.259 --> 00:48:09.779
 praising

00:48:09.779 --> 00:48:10.559
 of

00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:10.879
 thy

00:48:10.879 --> 00:48:11.359
 name.

00:48:12.699 --> 00:48:13.019
 Being

00:48:13.019 --> 00:48:13.679
 humbled

00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:14.480
 under

00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:14.739
 the

00:48:14.739 --> 00:48:15.259
 word

00:48:15.259 --> 00:48:16.019
 of

00:48:16.019 --> 00:48:16.500
 God.

00:48:16.699 --> 00:48:16.980
 That

00:48:16.980 --> 00:48:17.179
 is

00:48:17.179 --> 00:48:17.379
 where

00:48:17.379 --> 00:48:17.619
 we

00:48:17.619 --> 00:48:18.239
 start.

00:48:20.359 --> 00:48:20.939
 Peter

00:48:20.939 --> 00:48:21.639
 says in

00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:22.279
 1 Peter

00:48:22.279 --> 00:48:23.199
 chapter 5,

00:48:23.659 --> 00:48:24.019
 humble

00:48:24.019 --> 00:48:24.599
 yourselves

00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:25.219
 therefore under

00:48:25.219 --> 00:48:25.799
 the mighty

00:48:25.799 --> 00:48:26.480
 hand of

00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:26.879
 God,

00:48:27.319 --> 00:48:27.619
 so that at

00:48:27.619 --> 00:48:28.139
 the proper

00:48:28.139 --> 00:48:28.759
 time he

00:48:28.759 --> 00:48:29.539
 may exalt

00:48:29.539 --> 00:48:29.839
 you,

00:48:30.500 --> 00:48:30.959
 casting

00:48:30.959 --> 00:48:31.480
 all your

00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:32.159
 anxieties

00:48:32.159 --> 00:48:32.739
 on him

00:48:32.739 --> 00:48:33.799
 because he

00:48:33.799 --> 00:48:34.439
 cares

00:48:34.439 --> 00:48:35.480
 for you.

00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:37.679
 So Nehemiah's

00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:38.679
 vision begins

00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:39.639
 here being

00:48:39.639 --> 00:48:40.500
 fulfilled with

00:48:40.500 --> 00:48:41.319
 being humbled

00:48:41.319 --> 00:48:42.319
 under the

00:48:42.319 --> 00:48:42.939
 word of

00:48:42.939 --> 00:48:43.239
 God.

00:48:43.359 --> 00:48:43.899
 They wept

00:48:43.899 --> 00:48:45.299
 and mourned

00:48:45.299 --> 00:48:45.939
 under it,

00:48:46.299 --> 00:48:47.099
 but it

00:48:47.099 --> 00:48:47.980
 doesn't stay

00:48:47.980 --> 00:48:48.339
 there.

00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:49.759
 And that's

00:48:49.759 --> 00:48:50.679
 important for

00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:51.119
 us as we

00:48:51.119 --> 00:48:51.699
 move on

00:48:51.699 --> 00:48:53.059
 because the

00:48:53.059 --> 00:48:53.759
 joy of the

00:48:53.759 --> 00:48:55.319
 Lord lifts

00:48:55.319 --> 00:48:55.939
 us up.

00:48:57.259 --> 00:48:57.799
 And that is

00:48:57.799 --> 00:48:58.399
 what we all

00:48:58.399 --> 00:48:59.079
 want to know

00:48:59.079 --> 00:48:59.539
 as well.

00:48:59.619 --> 00:49:00.339
 The joy of

00:49:00.339 --> 00:49:00.899
 the Lord,

00:49:01.399 --> 00:49:02.079
 the strength

00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:02.339
 that it

00:49:02.339 --> 00:49:02.839
 gives,

00:49:03.339 --> 00:49:04.079
 it lifts

00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:04.739
 us up.

00:49:04.739 --> 00:49:06.159
 God

00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:06.500
 doesn't

00:49:06.500 --> 00:49:06.899
 want to

00:49:06.899 --> 00:49:07.219
 leave

00:49:07.219 --> 00:49:08.579
 his people

00:49:08.579 --> 00:49:08.919
 in a

00:49:08.919 --> 00:49:09.759
 pit of

00:49:09.759 --> 00:49:10.379
 despair.

00:49:11.819 --> 00:49:12.139
 Yes,

00:49:12.179 --> 00:49:12.619
 he wants

00:49:12.619 --> 00:49:12.919
 us to

00:49:12.919 --> 00:49:13.599
 be humbled,

00:49:14.099 --> 00:49:14.899
 but only

00:49:14.899 --> 00:49:15.379
 so that

00:49:15.379 --> 00:49:15.659
 he can

00:49:15.659 --> 00:49:16.239
 lift us

00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:16.559
 up.

00:49:17.659 --> 00:49:17.799
 And

00:49:17.799 --> 00:49:18.379
 Nehemiah

00:49:18.379 --> 00:49:19.059
 and Ezra

00:49:19.059 --> 00:49:19.539
 here,

00:49:19.919 --> 00:49:20.500
 we see

00:49:20.500 --> 00:49:21.039
 the vision

00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:21.439
 too,

00:49:21.579 --> 00:49:21.879
 is not

00:49:21.879 --> 00:49:22.259
 just to

00:49:22.259 --> 00:49:22.599
 bring a

00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:22.979
 people

00:49:22.979 --> 00:49:23.279
 under

00:49:23.279 --> 00:49:23.479
 the

00:49:23.479 --> 00:49:23.859
 word,

00:49:24.299 --> 00:49:24.399
 to

00:49:24.399 --> 00:49:24.899
 despair

00:49:24.899 --> 00:49:25.099
 in

00:49:25.099 --> 00:49:25.279
 their

00:49:25.279 --> 00:49:25.679
 sin,

00:49:26.459 --> 00:49:26.779
 but that

00:49:26.779 --> 00:49:26.879
 they

00:49:26.879 --> 00:49:27.019
 would

00:49:27.019 --> 00:49:27.379
 come

00:49:27.379 --> 00:49:27.579
 and

00:49:27.579 --> 00:49:28.259
 rejoice

00:49:28.259 --> 00:49:29.159
 in

00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:29.359
 the

00:49:29.359 --> 00:49:29.819
 Lord.

00:49:30.379 --> 00:49:30.679
 The

00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:31.299
 joy of

00:49:31.299 --> 00:49:31.500
 the

00:49:31.500 --> 00:49:31.939
 Lord

00:49:31.939 --> 00:49:32.859
 is

00:49:32.859 --> 00:49:33.259
 your

00:49:33.259 --> 00:49:34.239
 strength.

00:49:34.739 --> 00:49:36.479
 Nehemiah

00:49:36.479 --> 00:49:36.819
 is not

00:49:36.819 --> 00:49:37.179
 just a

00:49:37.179 --> 00:49:37.479
 man

00:49:37.479 --> 00:49:38.099
 to

00:49:38.099 --> 00:49:38.659
 talk,

00:49:39.799 --> 00:49:40.079
 he's

00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:40.519
 a man

00:49:40.519 --> 00:49:40.739
 of

00:49:40.739 --> 00:49:41.179
 action.

00:49:41.279 --> 00:49:41.339
 He

00:49:41.339 --> 00:49:41.899
 returned

00:49:44.339 --> 00:49:44.459
 the

00:49:44.459 --> 00:49:44.879
 work.

00:49:45.879 --> 00:49:45.959
 And

 now

 fulfillment

00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:49.379
 of

00:49:49.379 --> 00:49:49.539
 his

 know

00:49:52.179 --> 00:49:52.479
 the

00:49:52.479 --> 00:49:53.000
 joy

00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:53.679
 of

00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:53.879
 the

00:49:53.879 --> 00:49:54.299
 Lord

00:49:54.299 --> 00:49:55.179
 as

00:49:55.179 --> 00:49:55.439
 their

00:49:55.439 --> 00:49:56.199
 strength.

00:49:57.279 --> 00:49:57.539
 The

00:49:57.539 --> 00:49:58.059
 source

00:49:58.059 --> 00:49:59.099
 of

 every

00:49:59.659 --> 00:50:01.519
 help

00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:02.039
 and need

00:50:02.039 --> 00:50:02.199
 that

00:50:02.199 --> 00:50:02.359
 they

 have

00:50:02.739 --> 00:50:03.219
 can

 be

00:50:03.419 --> 00:50:04.119
 fulfilled

00:50:04.119 --> 00:50:04.940
 in

00:50:04.940 --> 00:50:05.099
 the

00:50:05.099 --> 00:50:05.519
 Lord.

00:50:06.380 --> 00:50:06.679
 There's

00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:07.099
 always

00:50:07.099 --> 00:50:07.719
 a time

00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:07.960
 for

00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:08.599
 reflection

00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:09.019
 and a

00:50:09.019 --> 00:50:09.319
 time

00:50:09.319 --> 00:50:09.960
 for

00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:10.480
 mourning

00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:11.940
 as we

00:50:11.940 --> 00:50:12.299
 mourn

00:50:12.299 --> 00:50:12.519
 over

00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:13.000
 sin.

00:50:13.139 --> 00:50:13.279
 It's

00:50:13.279 --> 00:50:13.679
 always

00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:14.159
 a part

00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:14.279
 of

00:50:14.279 --> 00:50:14.420
 our

00:50:14.420 --> 00:50:14.719
 life

00:50:14.719 --> 00:50:14.940
 to

00:50:14.940 --> 00:50:15.400
 repent

00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:16.159
 of

00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:16.440
 our

00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:17.079
 sins.

00:50:18.420 --> 00:50:19.039
 But

00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:19.139
 we

00:50:19.139 --> 00:50:19.279
 should

00:50:19.279 --> 00:50:19.519
 never

00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:20.259
 constantly

00:50:20.259 --> 00:50:20.960
 remain

00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:21.579
 in

00:50:21.579 --> 00:50:21.839
 that

00:50:21.839 --> 00:50:22.299
 frame

00:50:22.299 --> 00:50:23.559
 where

00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:23.779
 we're

00:50:23.779 --> 00:50:24.779
 despondent

00:50:24.779 --> 00:50:25.659
 under

00:50:25.659 --> 00:50:26.099
 sin

00:50:26.099 --> 00:50:26.400
 because

00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:26.699
 that

00:50:26.699 --> 00:50:27.500
 paralyzes.

00:50:28.500 --> 00:50:29.179
 There

00:50:29.179 --> 00:50:29.559
 is no

00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:30.179
 joy

00:50:30.179 --> 00:50:30.440
 in

00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:30.819
 that.

00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:31.699
 There

00:50:31.699 --> 00:50:32.099
 is no

00:50:32.099 --> 00:50:32.779
 strength

00:50:32.779 --> 00:50:33.119
 from the

00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:33.440
 Lord

00:50:33.440 --> 00:50:33.659
 in

00:50:33.659 --> 00:50:33.900
 that

00:50:33.900 --> 00:50:34.440
 because

00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:34.599
 the

00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:34.800
 Lord

00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:35.079
 wants

00:50:35.079 --> 00:50:35.320
 to

00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:35.619
 lift

00:50:35.619 --> 00:50:35.840
 us

00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:36.000
 up

00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:36.340
 above

00:50:36.340 --> 00:50:36.659
 that

00:50:36.659 --> 00:50:37.179
 and

00:50:37.179 --> 00:50:37.579
 use

00:50:37.579 --> 00:50:37.800
 us

00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:38.079
 for

00:50:38.079 --> 00:50:38.360
 his

00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:38.860
 glory.

00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:39.679
 And

00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:39.840
 that

00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:39.980
 is

00:50:39.980 --> 00:50:40.139
 what

00:50:40.139 --> 00:50:40.300
 is

00:50:40.300 --> 00:50:40.760
 happening

00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:41.000
 in

00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:41.740
 Jerusalem

00:50:41.740 --> 00:50:42.440
 here.

00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:43.039
 So

00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:43.360
 from

00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:43.920
 Jerusalem

00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:44.260
 and as

00:50:44.260 --> 00:50:44.380
 you

00:50:44.380 --> 00:50:44.559
 go

00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:45.159
 forward

00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:45.740
 in

00:50:45.740 --> 00:50:45.900
 the

00:50:45.900 --> 00:50:46.179
 Old

00:50:46.179 --> 00:50:46.599
 Testament

00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:46.900
 into

00:50:46.900 --> 00:50:47.119
 the

00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:47.360
 New

00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:47.900
 Testament

00:50:47.900 --> 00:50:48.639
 this

00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:48.900
 would

00:50:48.900 --> 00:50:49.059
 be

00:50:49.059 --> 00:50:49.260
 a

00:50:49.260 --> 00:50:49.659
 place

00:50:49.659 --> 00:50:49.900
 that

00:50:49.900 --> 00:50:50.059
 the

00:50:50.059 --> 00:50:50.440
 vision

00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:50.679
 is

00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:51.260
 continuing

00:50:51.260 --> 00:50:51.920
 to

00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:52.139
 be

00:50:52.139 --> 00:50:52.760
 fulfilled.

00:50:53.860 --> 00:50:54.039
 That

00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:54.200
 the

00:50:54.200 --> 00:50:54.579
 word

00:50:54.579 --> 00:50:54.820
 of

00:50:54.820 --> 00:50:55.179
 God

00:50:55.179 --> 00:50:55.380
 would

00:50:55.380 --> 00:50:55.579
 be

00:50:55.579 --> 00:50:56.159
 proclaimed.

00:50:56.740 --> 00:50:56.920
 That

00:50:56.920 --> 00:50:57.059
 the

00:50:57.059 --> 00:50:57.340
 people

00:50:57.340 --> 00:50:57.539
 would

00:50:57.539 --> 00:50:57.700
 be

00:50:57.700 --> 00:50:58.039
 under

00:50:58.039 --> 00:50:58.260
 it.

00:50:58.260 --> 00:50:58.679
 That

00:50:58.679 --> 00:50:58.780
 they

00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:03.800
 to

00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:04.380
 forgive.

00:51:05.980 --> 00:51:06.500
 This

00:51:06.500 --> 00:51:07.099
 joy

00:51:07.099 --> 00:51:08.039
 is to

00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:08.240
 be

00:51:08.240 --> 00:51:08.880
 infectious.

00:51:09.179 --> 00:51:09.320
 This

00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:09.920
 joy

00:51:09.920 --> 00:51:10.539
 is to

00:51:10.539 --> 00:51:10.760
 be at

00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:10.940
 the

00:51:10.940 --> 00:51:11.320
 heart

00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:11.519
 of

00:51:11.519 --> 00:51:11.720
 what

00:51:11.720 --> 00:51:11.900
 they

00:51:11.900 --> 00:51:12.059
 are

00:51:12.059 --> 00:51:12.440
 doing.

00:51:13.599 --> 00:51:13.860
 There

00:51:13.860 --> 00:51:14.099
 are

00:51:14.099 --> 00:51:15.039
 two

00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:15.740
 characters

00:51:15.740 --> 00:51:17.019
 in

00:51:17.019 --> 00:51:17.340
 Winnie

00:51:17.340 --> 00:51:17.519
 the

00:51:17.519 --> 00:51:17.900
 Pooh.

00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:18.619
 I

00:51:18.619 --> 00:51:18.720
 don't

00:51:18.720 --> 00:51:18.860
 know

00:51:18.860 --> 00:51:19.039
 if

00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:19.700
 any

00:51:19.700 --> 00:51:19.820
 of

00:51:19.820 --> 00:51:19.860
 you

00:51:19.860 --> 00:51:20.340
 watched

00:51:20.340 --> 00:51:20.659
 or

00:51:20.659 --> 00:51:20.940
 read

00:51:20.940 --> 00:51:21.240
 Winnie

00:51:21.240 --> 00:51:21.420
 the

00:51:21.420 --> 00:51:21.619
 Pooh

00:51:21.619 --> 00:51:21.800
 but

00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:21.980
 there's

00:51:21.980 --> 00:51:22.260
 two

00:51:22.260 --> 00:51:22.880
 characters

00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:23.240
 that

00:51:23.240 --> 00:51:23.460
 maybe

00:51:23.460 --> 00:51:23.920
 often

00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:24.840
 stand

00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:25.139
 out

00:51:25.139 --> 00:51:25.380
 as

00:51:25.380 --> 00:51:26.139
 complete

00:51:26.139 --> 00:51:26.840
 opposites.

00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:28.539
 You

00:51:28.539 --> 00:51:28.840
 have

00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:29.059
 on

00:51:29.059 --> 00:51:29.320
 one

00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:29.720
 hand

00:51:29.720 --> 00:51:30.179
 Tigger

 other

 have

00:51:32.579 --> 00:51:33.159
 Eeyore.

00:51:33.440 --> 00:51:34.240
 And

00:51:34.240 --> 00:51:34.380
 they

00:51:34.380 --> 00:51:34.539
 are

00:51:34.539 --> 00:51:34.800
 just

00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:35.639
 complete

00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:36.300
 opposites.

00:51:36.460 --> 00:51:36.780
 Tigger

00:51:36.780 --> 00:51:37.320
 is

00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:37.659
 ever

00:51:37.659 --> 00:51:37.880
 the

00:51:37.880 --> 00:51:38.780
 optimist.

00:51:39.559 --> 00:51:39.679
 He

00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:40.179
 always

00:51:40.179 --> 00:51:40.500
 has

00:51:40.500 --> 00:51:40.679
 a

 doing

00:51:41.900 --> 00:51:42.159
 and

00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:42.720
 doing

00:51:42.720 --> 00:51:44.139
 excitement

00:51:44.139 --> 00:51:44.480
 and

00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:44.820
 keeping

00:51:44.820 --> 00:51:45.300
 going

00:51:45.300 --> 00:51:45.500
 in

00:51:45.500 --> 00:51:45.780
 different

 things

00:51:46.200 --> 00:51:46.679
 with

00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:47.360
 of

 anticipation.

00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:50.139
 Eeyore

00:51:51.099 --> 00:51:51.280
 a

00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:52.139
 pessimist.

00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:53.380
 The

00:51:53.380 --> 00:51:53.639
 one

00:51:53.639 --> 00:51:53.840
 who's

00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:54.200
 often

00:51:54.200 --> 00:51:54.760
 glum.

00:51:55.240 --> 00:51:55.440
 The

00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:55.659
 one

00:51:55.659 --> 00:51:55.840
 who's

00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:56.119
 often

00:51:56.119 --> 00:51:56.320
 got

00:51:56.320 --> 00:51:56.500
 a

00:51:56.500 --> 00:51:56.900
 negative

00:51:56.900 --> 00:51:57.599
 outlook.

00:51:59.280 --> 00:51:59.880
 When

00:51:59.880 --> 00:52:00.400
 our

00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:00.860
 children

00:52:00.860 --> 00:52:01.599
 were

00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:02.039
 young

00:52:02.039 --> 00:52:02.900
 we

00:52:02.900 --> 00:52:03.059
 had

00:52:03.059 --> 00:52:03.179
 a

00:52:03.179 --> 00:52:03.340
 wee

 toy

00:52:03.860 --> 00:52:04.340
 Tigger

00:52:04.340 --> 00:52:05.820
 and

00:52:05.820 --> 00:52:05.920
 it

00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:06.059
 was

00:52:06.059 --> 00:52:06.519
 operated

00:52:06.519 --> 00:52:06.800
 by

00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:07.340
 batteries

00:52:07.340 --> 00:52:07.579
 and

00:52:07.579 --> 00:52:08.380
 sprung

00:52:08.380 --> 00:52:08.779
 tail

00:52:08.779 --> 00:52:09.039
 as you

00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:09.199
 know

00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:09.559
 Tigger

00:52:09.559 --> 00:52:09.960
 has

00:52:09.960 --> 00:52:10.179
 so if

00:52:10.179 --> 00:52:10.279
 you

00:52:10.279 --> 00:52:10.639
 switched

00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:11.059
 it on

00:52:11.059 --> 00:52:11.599
 the

00:52:11.599 --> 00:52:11.880
 Tigger

00:52:11.880 --> 00:52:12.099
 would

00:52:12.099 --> 00:52:12.400
 start

00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:12.960
 bouncing

00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:13.400
 around

00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:13.599
 and

00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:13.820
 making

00:52:13.820 --> 00:52:14.000
 a

00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:14.480
 noise

00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:16.400
 and

00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:16.500
 the

00:52:16.500 --> 00:52:16.980
 children

00:52:16.980 --> 00:52:17.639
 would

00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:18.039
 see

00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:18.420
 this

00:52:18.420 --> 00:52:18.619
 and

00:52:18.619 --> 00:52:18.960
 sitting

00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:19.119
 they

00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:19.679
 weren't

00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:20.000
 quite

00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:20.579
 walking

00:52:20.579 --> 00:52:21.320
 but

00:52:21.320 --> 00:52:21.420
 they

00:52:21.420 --> 00:52:21.539
 were

00:52:21.539 --> 00:52:21.920
 sitting

00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:22.179
 up

00:52:22.179 --> 00:52:22.280
 and

00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:22.380
 they

00:52:22.380 --> 00:52:22.500
 would

00:52:22.500 --> 00:52:22.820
 start

00:52:22.820 --> 00:52:23.440
 bouncing

00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:24.199
 trying

00:52:24.199 --> 00:52:24.360
 to

00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:24.719
 copy

00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:25.119
 Tigger

00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:26.179
 because

00:52:26.179 --> 00:52:26.380
 it

00:52:26.380 --> 00:52:26.519
 was

00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:27.139
 infectious

00:52:27.139 --> 00:52:28.800
 it

00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:29.000
 had

00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:29.280
 this

00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:30.340
 impact

00:52:30.340 --> 00:52:30.659
 on

00:52:30.659 --> 00:52:30.860
 them

00:52:30.860 --> 00:52:31.000
 where

00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:31.079
 they

00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:31.199
 were

00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:31.599
 seeing

00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:31.820
 this

00:52:31.820 --> 00:52:31.920
 and

00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:32.500
 excited

00:52:32.500 --> 00:52:32.920
 about

00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:33.139
 it

00:52:33.139 --> 00:52:33.539
 and

00:52:33.539 --> 00:52:33.780
 trying

 to

00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:34.440

00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:34.860
 it

00:52:34.860 --> 00:52:37.019
 now

00:52:37.019 --> 00:52:37.380
 God

00:52:37.380 --> 00:52:37.920
 doesn't

00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:38.360
 expect

00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:38.559
 us

00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:38.800
 all

00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:38.920
 to

00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:41.820
 neither

00:52:41.820 --> 00:52:42.219
 should

00:52:42.219 --> 00:52:42.380
 we

00:52:42.380 --> 00:52:42.840
 resign

00:52:42.840 --> 00:52:43.360
 ourselves

00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:43.539
 to

00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:44.539

00:52:44.539 --> 00:52:46.380
 because

00:52:46.380 --> 00:52:47.260
 we

00:52:47.260 --> 00:52:47.679
 have

 this

00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:32.159
 think

00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:32.239
 of

00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:32.399
 the

 context

00:55:32.959 --> 00:55:33.239
 of

 the

00:55:33.699 --> 00:55:34.299
 disciples

00:55:34.299 --> 00:55:34.599
 in

 a

00:55:36.500 --> 00:55:36.779
 time

00:55:36.779 --> 00:55:36.939
 of

00:55:36.939 --> 00:55:37.159
 great

00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:37.519
 worry

00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:37.759
 and

00:55:37.759 --> 00:55:38.299
 fear

00:55:38.299 --> 00:55:40.159
 but

00:55:40.159 --> 00:55:40.519
 Jesus

00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:40.859
 has

00:55:40.859 --> 00:55:41.139

01:03:50.199 --> 01:03:50.480
 up

01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:50.839
 another

01:03:50.839 --> 01:03:51.659
 starfish

01:03:51.659 --> 01:03:52.460
 threw

01:03:52.460 --> 01:03:52.679
 it

01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:53.019
 back

01:03:53.019 --> 01:03:53.339
 into

01:03:53.339 --> 01:03:53.599
 the

01:03:53.599 --> 01:03:53.940
 sea

01:03:53.940 --> 01:03:54.759
 and

01:03:54.759 --> 01:03:55.059
 said

01:03:55.059 --> 01:03:55.239
 to

01:03:55.239 --> 01:03:55.400
 the

01:03:55.400 --> 01:03:55.739
 man

01:03:55.739 --> 01:03:56.759
 well

01:03:56.759 --> 01:03:56.880
 it

01:03:56.880 --> 01:03:57.079
 made

01:03:57.079 --> 01:03:57.259
 a

01:03:57.259 --> 01:03:57.859
 difference

01:03:57.859 --> 01:03:58.460
 for

01:03:58.460 --> 01:03:58.799
 that

01:03:58.799 --> 01:03:59.079
 one

01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:00.840
 it

01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:01.340
 started

01:04:01.340 --> 01:04:01.980
 with

01:04:01.980 --> 01:04:02.420
 one

01:04:02.420 --> 01:04:03.319
 he

01:04:03.319 --> 01:04:03.880
 couldn't

01:04:03.880 --> 01:04:04.579
 save

01:04:04.579 --> 01:04:04.960
 all

01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:05.179
 the

01:04:05.179 --> 01:04:05.880
 starfish

01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:06.799
 but

01:04:06.799 --> 01:04:06.920
 he

01:04:06.920 --> 01:04:07.099
 was

01:04:07.099 --> 01:04:07.579
 doing

01:04:07.579 --> 01:04:08.360
 his

01:04:08.360 --> 01:04:08.719
 bit

01:04:08.719 --> 01:04:09.840
 and

01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:10.019
 it's

01:04:10.019 --> 01:04:10.159
 the

01:04:10.159 --> 01:04:10.579
 difference

01:04:10.579 --> 01:04:10.779
 of

01:04:10.779 --> 01:04:10.960
 how

01:04:10.960 --> 01:04:11.159
 we

01:04:11.159 --> 01:04:11.460
 see

01:04:11.460 --> 01:04:11.920
 things

01:04:11.920 --> 01:04:12.199
 isn't

01:04:12.199 --> 01:04:12.380
 it

01:04:12.380 --> 01:04:13.579
 a

01:04:13.579 --> 01:04:13.900
 man

01:04:13.900 --> 01:04:14.179
 saw

01:04:14.179 --> 01:04:14.380
 a

01:04:14.380 --> 01:04:14.880
 task

01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:15.639
 that

01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:15.819
 was

01:04:15.819 --> 01:04:16.519
 impossible

01:04:16.519 --> 01:04:17.679
 a

01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:18.000
 boy

01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:18.259
 saw

01:04:18.259 --> 01:04:18.460
 a

01:04:18.460 --> 01:04:19.039
 task

01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:19.679
 that

01:04:19.679 --> 01:04:19.799
 he

01:04:19.799 --> 01:04:19.940
 could

01:04:19.940 --> 01:04:20.099
 be

01:04:20.099 --> 01:04:20.599
 involved

01:04:20.599 --> 01:04:20.880
 in

01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:21.099
 even

01:04:21.099 --> 01:04:21.219
 if

01:04:21.219 --> 01:04:21.239
 it

01:04:21.239 --> 01:04:21.380
 was

01:04:21.380 --> 01:04:21.840
 one

01:04:21.840 --> 01:04:22.500
 by

01:04:22.500 --> 01:04:22.980
 one

01:04:22.980 --> 01:04:24.599
 what's

01:04:24.599 --> 01:04:24.840
 our

01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:25.219
 vision

01:04:25.219 --> 01:04:27.000
 what's

01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:27.340
 our

01:04:27.340 --> 01:04:27.719
 vision

01:04:27.719 --> 01:04:28.360
 for

01:04:28.360 --> 01:04:28.539
 the

01:04:28.539 --> 01:04:28.960
 people

01:04:28.960 --> 01:04:29.460
 around

01:04:29.460 --> 01:04:29.960
 us

01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:31.400
 Nehemiah's

01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:31.800
 vision

01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:32.760
 was the

01:04:32.760 --> 01:04:33.220
 stones

01:04:33.220 --> 01:04:33.780
 to go

01:04:33.780 --> 01:04:34.019
 into

01:04:34.019 --> 01:04:34.559
 place

01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:35.500
 so that

01:04:35.500 --> 01:04:36.139
 the walls

01:04:36.139 --> 01:04:36.599
 could be

01:04:36.599 --> 01:04:36.980
 built

01:04:36.980 --> 01:04:37.980
 so that

01:04:37.980 --> 01:04:38.619
 the people

01:04:38.619 --> 01:04:39.360
 would have

01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:39.980
 a home

01:04:39.980 --> 01:04:40.260
 for

01:04:40.260 --> 01:04:40.900
 themselves

01:04:40.900 --> 01:04:42.199
 and above

01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:42.840
 all a

01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:43.380
 place

01:04:43.380 --> 01:04:44.320
 to

01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:44.740
 worship

01:04:44.740 --> 01:04:45.320
 God

01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:46.599
 the

01:04:46.599 --> 01:04:47.159
 people

01:04:47.159 --> 01:04:48.260
 were in

01:04:48.260 --> 01:04:48.699
 trouble

01:04:48.699 --> 01:04:50.599
 but through

01:04:50.599 --> 01:04:51.099
 a vision

01:04:51.099 --> 01:04:51.900
 they were

01:04:51.900 --> 01:04:52.440
 brought to

01:04:52.440 --> 01:04:53.119
 this place

01:04:53.119 --> 01:04:53.480
 where they

01:04:53.480 --> 01:04:54.360
 rejoiced

01:04:54.360 --> 01:04:55.480
 where the

01:04:55.480 --> 01:04:56.039
 joy of

01:04:56.039 --> 01:04:56.559
 the Lord

01:04:56.559 --> 01:04:57.699
 was their

01:04:57.699 --> 01:04:58.360
 strength

01:04:58.360 --> 01:04:59.860
 for

01:04:59.860 --> 01:05:00.500
 ourselves

01:05:00.500 --> 01:05:01.599
 we can

01:05:01.599 --> 01:05:01.800
 look

01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:02.200
 around

01:05:02.200 --> 01:05:02.700
 and see

01:05:02.700 --> 01:05:03.480
 a task

01:05:03.480 --> 01:05:04.300
 that in

01:05:04.300 --> 01:05:05.039
 many ways

01:05:05.039 --> 01:05:05.760
 is

01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:06.440
 impossible

01:05:06.440 --> 01:05:08.099
 or we

01:05:08.099 --> 01:05:08.579
 can see

01:05:08.579 --> 01:05:09.160
 a task

01:05:09.160 --> 01:05:09.800
 that God

01:05:09.800 --> 01:05:10.460
 has called

01:05:10.460 --> 01:05:11.019
 us to

01:05:11.019 --> 01:05:12.260
 a vision

01:05:12.260 --> 01:05:13.099
 for a

01:05:13.099 --> 01:05:13.860
 people all

01:05:13.860 --> 01:05:14.740
 around us

01:05:14.740 --> 01:05:15.820
 to see

01:05:15.820 --> 01:05:16.500
 the lost

01:05:16.500 --> 01:05:17.500
 saved

01:05:17.500 --> 01:05:18.800
 to see a

01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:19.680
 people coming

01:05:19.680 --> 01:05:21.140
 to repent

01:05:21.140 --> 01:05:22.220
 under the

01:05:22.220 --> 01:05:22.860
 word of

01:05:22.860 --> 01:05:23.240
 God

01:05:23.240 --> 01:05:23.579
 to be

01:05:23.579 --> 01:05:23.980
 humbled

01:05:23.980 --> 01:05:25.500
 but to

01:05:25.500 --> 01:05:26.099
 be lifted

01:05:26.099 --> 01:05:26.500
 up

01:05:26.500 --> 01:05:27.400
 and to

01:05:27.400 --> 01:05:27.760
 know the

01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:28.280
 joy of

01:05:28.280 --> 01:05:28.820
 the Lord

01:05:28.820 --> 01:05:29.880
 as their

01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:30.579
 strength

01:05:30.579 --> 01:05:31.639
 and to

01:05:31.639 --> 01:05:32.260
 go on

01:05:32.260 --> 01:05:33.519
 one by

01:05:33.519 --> 01:05:34.079
 one

01:05:34.079 --> 01:05:35.340
 sharing the

01:05:35.340 --> 01:05:35.880
 wonderful

01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:37.119
 word of

01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:37.780
 the gospel

01:05:37.780 --> 01:05:38.420
 of Jesus

01:05:38.420 --> 01:05:39.099
 Christ

01:05:39.099 --> 01:05:40.360
 that he

01:05:40.360 --> 01:05:40.740
 would do

01:05:40.740 --> 01:05:41.219
 marvelous

01:05:41.219 --> 01:05:41.900
 things

01:05:41.900 --> 01:05:42.960
 in our

01:05:42.960 --> 01:05:43.400
 midst

01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:44.539
 let us

01:05:44.539 --> 01:05:44.840
 pray

01:05:44.840 --> 01:05:47.659
 our

01:05:47.659 --> 01:05:48.400
 father in

01:05:48.400 --> 01:05:49.000
 heaven we

 thank you

01:05:49.659 --> 01:05:50.219
 for your

01:05:50.219 --> 01:05:50.780
 word and

01:05:52.519 --> 01:05:53.320
 and challenge

01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:53.740
 that it

01:05:53.740 --> 01:05:54.120
 gives

01:05:54.120 --> 01:05:55.220
 but may

 we see

01:05:55.700 --> 01:05:56.120

01:05:57.460 --> 01:05:58.060
 is able

01:05:58.060 --> 01:05:59.060
 for the

01:05:59.060 --> 01:05:59.420
 things that

01:05:59.420 --> 01:06:00.080
 are impossible

01:06:00.080 --> 01:06:00.880
 to us

01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:02.120
 are possible

 under your

01:06:06.040 --> 01:06:06.480
 word

01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:07.260

01:06:07.260 --> 01:06:07.680
 might be

01:06:07.680 --> 01:06:08.400
 lifted up

01:06:08.400 --> 01:06:08.900
 even if we

01:06:08.900 --> 01:06:09.320
 come

01:06:09.320 --> 01:06:10.700
 through tears

01:06:10.700 --> 01:06:11.240
 and much

01:06:11.240 --> 01:06:11.680
 mourning

01:06:11.680 --> 01:06:12.860
 may we be

01:06:12.860 --> 01:06:13.519
 lifted up

01:06:13.519 --> 01:06:13.960
 and come

01:06:13.960 --> 01:06:14.460
 to know

01:06:14.460 --> 01:06:15.500
 the joy

01:06:15.500 --> 01:06:15.820
 of the

01:06:15.820 --> 01:06:16.180
 Lord

01:06:16.180 --> 01:06:17.160
 as our

01:06:17.160 --> 01:06:17.740
 strength

01:06:17.740 --> 01:06:18.100
 as we

 ask it

01:06:18.580 --> 01:06:19.040
 all in

 to conclude

01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:28.799
 by singing

01:06:28.799 --> 01:06:30.159
 to God's
