WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.660
 We'll begin our worship now by singing to God's praise. We're singing in Psalm 118 at verse 20.

00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:16.240
 Psalm 118 at verse 20, the tune is Warwick. Psalm we're so familiar with maybe at communion times

00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:21.600
 when we sing it. This is the gate of God by it, the just shall enter in. Thee will I praise,

00:00:21.699 --> 00:00:27.879
 for thou me heardst and hast my safety been. We'll sing from verse 20 down to the end of the psalm

00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:29.000
 to God's praise.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:29.119
 Amen.

00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.880
 Thee will I praise, for thou me heardst and hast my safety be.

00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:19.120
 That stone is made at cornerstone, which shinders in his eyes.

00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:35.000
 This is the doing of the Lord, and what has in our eyes.

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:50.000
 This is the day, O made in it, will joy triumphantly.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:02:05.000
 Sing now, I pray thee, Lord, I pray, send thou prosperity.

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:22.000
 Blessed is he in God's great name, that command us to save.

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:39.000
 We from blood, which to the Lord, work day to bless it, are.

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:55.000
 And what is the Lord due unto us, and make light to our eyes?

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:12.000
 I pray thee unto thee, O Lord, work day to our hearts, with course the sacrifice.

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:21.000
 Thy heart, my God, I'll be exiled.

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:28.000
 My Lord, I will be praised.

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:37.000
 Give thanks to God, for he is good.

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:43.000
 His mercy lasts always.

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.960
 Let's come to God in prayer.

00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:50.620
 Let us pray.

00:03:50.620 --> 00:04:01.780
 Our Father in heaven, as we come to worship you, we thank you for the promise that you delight to hear our singing of praise.

00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:07.319
 You delight to hear your people offering a prayer to you, and you delight in worship.

00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.900
 And we pray, Lord, that we would delight in coming to you as well.

00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:21.120
 That we would rejoice that you are a God who hears and listens to all our prayers, from the youngest to the oldest here.

00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:25.019
 That you hear what we offer up to you in all our worship.

00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:32.240
 And we thank you that even as we come in prayer, it doesn't have to be with big words or long prayers.

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:42.259
 But we can just come offering up just words of thanks to you, words asking for help from you, words asking for help for others.

00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.960
 And so much of our prayer, Lord, is that you will do us good.

00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.439
 That you will help us to know Jesus and the joy that he gives.

00:04:51.980 --> 00:04:57.139
 That you will help this world in which we live to know how precious a saviour you are

00:04:57.139 --> 00:05:01.900
 and the hope that you are able to give in the midst of all that goes on.

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:09.400
 We thank you that the light of your word, your truth, shines in around us and even through us.

00:05:10.100 --> 00:05:12.439
 And so we pray, Lord, your blessing on us today.

00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:18.259
 Upon all that we hear and all that we do, may you be with us and guide us and keep us.

00:05:18.379 --> 00:05:24.439
 We pray especially for our young ones as they will go out shortly to the Sunday school, the creche and the tweenies.

00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:26.439
 We pray your blessing on them.

00:05:26.860 --> 00:05:30.500
 Encourage them together around your word as well and all of us together.

00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:38.459
 So hear all our prayers and accept our worship of you this day and pardon our sins as we ask it all in Jesus' name.

00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:39.480
 Amen.

00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:46.660
 Well, it's good to see you today and see so many young ones here today scattered all over.

00:05:47.020 --> 00:05:50.439
 Sometimes it's hard to find where you are because everyone's sitting in different places.

00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.939
 Well, it's good to see you and I want to ask you a question this morning.

00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:57.240
 Does anybody here have a pet at home?

00:05:57.780 --> 00:06:00.259
 Put your hand up if you've got a pet at home, yeah?

00:06:00.860 --> 00:06:03.140
 A few hands going up around the place.

00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:03.420
 All right.

00:06:03.420 --> 00:06:05.620
 Quite a few people have pets, yeah?

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.259
 Maybe we have pets, different kinds of pets.

00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:10.360
 Anybody got a pet snake?

00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:11.800
 No?

00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:13.620
 Thank goodness, isn't it?

00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.680
 No, you wouldn't want a pet snake, would you?

00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:16.740
 Some people do, though.

00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:22.280
 Most people, maybe you have a dog or a cat or a hamster or something like that.

00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.739
 And when you get a pet, what's one of the first things you do?

00:06:27.359 --> 00:06:30.799
 When you maybe get a pet dog, what's the first thing you do?

00:06:30.859 --> 00:06:33.159
 Do you just call it dog or doggy?

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:35.919
 No, you called a name, don't you?

00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:37.739
 Very often you give a pet a name.

00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:43.159
 So when your pet hears you calling that name, it might come running back to you.

00:06:43.239 --> 00:06:44.199
 Especially for dogs.

00:06:44.259 --> 00:06:46.679
 We've got a dog, he's called Benji.

00:06:47.119 --> 00:06:51.699
 And so if you shout Benji, you hope that he's going to come running back to you.

00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.699
 Now, maybe this seems like a strange question.

00:06:55.299 --> 00:06:57.259
 Does anybody have a pet stone?

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:01.399
 It's not a pet, is it?

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.439
 You don't have a stone that's a pet, do you?

00:07:04.479 --> 00:07:05.979
 Does anybody have a pet stone?

00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:07.199
 No?

00:07:07.919 --> 00:07:11.519
 It seems quite strange maybe to the idea of having a pet stone.

00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.279
 But perhaps you've got stones at home.

00:07:15.019 --> 00:07:17.299
 Maybe you've been to the beach one day.

00:07:17.979 --> 00:07:20.679
 Do you like collecting stones at the beach?

00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.379
 Maybe you see a nice colored stone and you take it home with you.

00:07:25.699 --> 00:07:29.220
 Maybe you've been out walking on the moor and you see another kind of stone lying there

00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:31.840
 and you think to yourself, that would be pretty at home.

00:07:32.259 --> 00:07:33.740
 So you take it home with you.

00:07:33.819 --> 00:07:37.439
 And sometimes people can collect a lot of stones in different places.

00:07:38.019 --> 00:07:40.620
 But do you ever give a stone a name?

00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:42.920
 Maybe not.

00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:47.060
 But in our Bible story today we're going to be looking at, we're going to be thinking about

00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:50.319
 someone who gave a stone a special name.

00:07:51.080 --> 00:07:57.040
 A man called Samuel had this special big stone that he called Ebenezer.

00:07:57.939 --> 00:07:59.160
 That's a funny name, isn't it?

00:07:59.540 --> 00:07:59.980
 Ebenezer.

00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:03.160
 Now, why do you think he called the stone Ebenezer?

00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.740
 Seems a funny name to us, doesn't it?

00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:10.699
 But to Samuel and to God's people it meant something really special.

00:08:11.400 --> 00:08:16.360
 They weren't calling this stone Ebenezer so that the stone would hear them.

00:08:17.220 --> 00:08:22.340
 They were calling this stone Ebenezer because it reminded them of something special.

00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:27.019
 Because the name Ebenezer means, till now God has helped.

00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:31.740
 And what they were doing was they had this stone that they would look to and they would

00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:33.919
 see it and it would remind them.

00:08:34.179 --> 00:08:38.100
 Just like maybe a stone would remind you of a beach you've been to or something like that.

00:08:38.419 --> 00:08:42.659
 This stone reminded the people of what God had done for them.

00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:47.819
 And they were able to say, till now the Lord has helped us.

00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:51.500
 So they weren't calling the stone a name as a pet.

00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.120
 They weren't calling the stone so they could shout to the stone Ebenezer.

00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.019
 They were calling it Ebenezer so they would remind them to call on someone else.

00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:02.940
 To call on God.

00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:09.600
 And to call on God giving thanks to him and rejoicing in him that he is the one who is

00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:10.500
 able to help.

00:09:11.019 --> 00:09:14.519
 And today we don't have a stone called Ebenezer.

00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:19.220
 We have another stone described in the Bible as a stone, a rock.

00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:21.360
 He's the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.460
 And we are able to call on him for help.

00:09:24.460 --> 00:09:31.820
 And to say that even till now he has helped us and he always will as we put our trust

00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:32.920
 in him.

00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:35.820
 So we think of the Ebenezer stone today.

00:09:36.400 --> 00:09:41.639
 The stone that reminds us that till now the Lord has helped us.

00:09:42.139 --> 00:09:43.940
 Well, we'll say the Lord's prayer together.

00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:44.759
 Now let's pray.

00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:45.759
 Amen.

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:49.419
 Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

00:09:50.059 --> 00:09:51.240
 Thy kingdom come.

00:09:51.899 --> 00:09:54.919
 Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:57.720
 Give us this day our daily bread.

00:09:58.319 --> 00:10:02.139
 And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:06.580
 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:10.860
 For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever.

00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:11.899
 Amen.

00:10:11.899 --> 00:10:12.059
 Amen.

00:10:14.059 --> 00:10:19.480
 Well, we'll sing again to God's praise this time in Psalm 130 in the Scottish Psalter.

00:10:21.459 --> 00:10:22.720
 Psalm 130.

00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:24.379
 We're going to sing the whole of this psalm.

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:25.699
 The tune is martyrdom.

00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.899
 And this is a psalm that reminds us, just as we were saying there, that we can call on

00:10:30.899 --> 00:10:34.740
 the Lord and that he hears us and is able to help us.

00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.959
 Lord, from the depths to thee I cried.

00:10:37.439 --> 00:10:39.220
 My voice, Lord, do thou hear.

00:10:39.819 --> 00:10:43.860
 And to my supplication's voice give an attentive ear.

00:10:43.939 --> 00:10:46.860
 We'll sing the whole of this psalm to God's praise.

00:10:46.860 --> 00:11:00.039
 Lord, from the depths to thee I cried.

00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:07.419
 My voice, Lord, do thou hear.

00:11:07.419 --> 00:11:25.199
 And to my supplication's voice give an attentive ear.

00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:42.200
 Lord, you shall sigh if thou, O Lord, should smart iniquity.

00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:49.200
 But yet with thee forgive me.

00:11:49.200 --> 00:12:01.200
 Forbiveness is the fear of the mayest need.

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:11.200
 I wait for God, my soul of grace.

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:19.200
 My hope is in his word.

00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:29.200
 Lord, I may not for more remorse.

00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.200
 My soul of grace.

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.200
 My soul of grace.

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.200
 My soul of grace.

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.200
 For the Lord.

00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:45.200
 I say, Lord, I may not for more remorse.

00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:46.200
 My soul of grace.

00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.200
 For the Lord.

00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.200
 I say, Lord, I may not for more remorse.

00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:51.200
 For the Lord.

00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:56.200
 I may not for more remorse.

00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:14.200
 Let Israel open the door, for with him ask his feet.

00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:32.200
 And then Jesus' rejection, his severed heart, with him,

00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:50.180
 And from all his liberties, he Israel shall redeem.

00:13:50.179 --> 00:14:20.159
 Amen.

00:14:20.179 --> 00:14:37.399
 And so they decided eventually to return the ark back to God's people.

00:14:37.939 --> 00:14:43.000
 But even as it came back to God's people, as it returned to Israel, as you see in chapter 6,

00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:46.899
 the people of God didn't really know what to do with it either.

00:14:47.219 --> 00:14:49.559
 They had lost their focus of it.

00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:54.079
 They rejoiced in its return, but they didn't really know what to do with it.

00:14:54.179 --> 00:14:58.219
 And it was almost left for this period of time.

00:14:59.219 --> 00:15:03.500
 But then Samuel comes onto the scene in chapter 7.

00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:06.039
 And that's what we're going to focus on this morning.

00:15:06.099 --> 00:15:09.979
 But we'll take up our reading at verse 20 of chapter 6.

00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:13.399
 Then the men of Beth Shemesh said,

00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:26.319
 So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-Jerim, saying,

00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:29.720
 The Philistines have returned the ark of the Lord.

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.180
 Come down and take it up to you.

00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:40.160
 And the men of Kiriath-Jerim came and took up the ark of the Lord and brought it to the house of Abinadab on the hill.

00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:46.199
 And they consecrated his son, Eliezer, to have charge of the ark of the Lord.

00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:53.439
 From the day that the ark was lodged at Kiriath-Jerim, a long time passed, some twenty years.

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.639
 And all of the house of Israel lamented after the Lord.

00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:01.639
 And Samuel said to all the house of Israel,

00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.419
 If you are returning to the Lord with all your heart,

00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:10.240
 then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtoreth from among you,

00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:14.840
 and direct your heart to the Lord, and serve him only.

00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.559
 And he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

00:16:19.379 --> 00:16:22.799
 So the people of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreth,

00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.080
 and they served the Lord only.

00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.379
 Then Samuel said,

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:32.560
 Gather all Israel at Mishpah, and I will pray to the Lord for you.

00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:37.900
 So they gathered at Mishpah and drew water and poured it out before the Lord,

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.580
 and fasted on that day and said there,

00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:43.580
 We have sinned against the Lord.

00:16:44.560 --> 00:16:47.460
 And Samuel judged the people of Israel at Mishpah.

00:16:48.340 --> 00:16:52.379
 Now when the Philistines heard that the people of Israel had gathered at Mishpah,

00:16:52.379 --> 00:16:55.879
 the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel.

00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.740
 And when the people of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:03.500
 And the people of Israel said to Samuel,

00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.740
 Do not cease to cry out to the Lord our God for us,

00:17:08.180 --> 00:17:10.980
 that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines.

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:17.039
 So Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord.

00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.539
 And Samuel cried out to the Lord for Israel,

00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:22.759
 and the Lord answered him.

00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.940
 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering,

00:17:26.460 --> 00:17:29.120
 the Philistines threw near to attack Israel.

00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:34.860
 But the Lord thundered with a mighty sound that day against the Philistines,

00:17:35.099 --> 00:17:37.099
 and threw them into confusion.

00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:39.480
 And they were routed before Israel.

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.179
 And the men of Israel went out from Mishpah,

00:17:42.439 --> 00:17:44.019
 and pursued the Philistines,

00:17:44.159 --> 00:17:47.259
 and struck them as far as below Beth-kar.

00:17:48.199 --> 00:17:50.699
 Then Samuel took a stone,

00:17:51.219 --> 00:17:53.759
 and set it up between Mishpah and Shen,

00:17:54.399 --> 00:17:56.339
 and called its name Ebenezer.

00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:58.039
 For he said,

00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:00.959
 Till now the Lord has helped us.

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:03.339
 So the Philistines were subdued,

00:18:03.379 --> 00:18:05.919
 and did not again enter the territory of Israel.

00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:10.880
 And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:14.180
 The cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel

00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:17.539
 were restored to Israel from Ekron to Gath.

00:18:18.100 --> 00:18:21.560
 And Israel delivered their territory from the hand of the Philistines.

00:18:22.560 --> 00:18:26.360
 There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites.

00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.300
 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:35.359
 And he went on a circuit year by year to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mishpah.

00:18:35.899 --> 00:18:38.180
 And he judged Israel in all these places.

00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:40.519
 Then he would return to Ramah,

00:18:40.940 --> 00:18:42.339
 for his home was there.

00:18:42.879 --> 00:18:44.859
 And there also he judged Israel.

00:18:45.399 --> 00:18:48.539
 And he built there an altar to the Lord.

00:18:49.399 --> 00:18:49.879
 Amen.

00:18:49.919 --> 00:18:52.399
 And may God bless that word to us.

00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:54.200
 We'll again come to God in prayer.

00:18:54.300 --> 00:18:55.100
 Let us pray.

00:18:57.300 --> 00:18:58.900
 Our Father in heaven,

00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.120
 we continue to worship your name

00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:04.920
 and praise you that you are the God who has spoken to us.

00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:08.500
 And you continue to speak to us through your word.

00:19:09.060 --> 00:19:11.460
 We thank you for the way we are reminded there

00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:16.400
 of how Samuel brought your word to your people so long ago.

00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:20.540
 A word that they had maybe become disinterested in

00:19:20.540 --> 00:19:22.320
 or didn't know what to do with.

00:19:23.019 --> 00:19:26.840
 But yet a word that awoken them from their slumber

00:19:26.840 --> 00:19:30.840
 and brought them to recognize that they had sinned against you.

00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.540
 And it awoke them to see their need of repentance

00:19:34.540 --> 00:19:38.340
 and turning to you and the blessings that come from that.

00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:43.040
 And we pray that as your word is proclaimed today far and wide

00:19:43.040 --> 00:19:45.880
 throughout our land and throughout the world,

00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:49.040
 that there will be a word that is powerful to many

00:19:49.040 --> 00:19:53.240
 to awaken and to bring many people to see

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:55.160
 that we have sinned against God,

00:19:55.360 --> 00:20:00.020
 but yet to see too the mercy that is found in Christ Jesus.

00:20:00.820 --> 00:20:04.380
 And we pray, Lord, that you will turn us in repentance to you.

00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:06.700
 For as we confess our sins,

00:20:06.800 --> 00:20:10.040
 as we have sung together in that wonderful psalm,

00:20:10.100 --> 00:20:13.960
 that you are the one who is able to forgive our sins.

00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.980
 And so we pray, Lord, that you will help us

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:19.200
 to put our hope in the Lord.

00:20:19.980 --> 00:20:21.759
 So may you bless us together here

00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:24.860
 and remembering those tuning in online as well

00:20:24.860 --> 00:20:29.380
 and those who will tune in maybe even in days and weeks coming, Lord.

00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.340
 We pray for your word to be blessed to us

00:20:32.340 --> 00:20:35.180
 and for you to be in the midst of us as we come

00:20:35.180 --> 00:20:37.600
 to worship and praise your name.

00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.939
 We thank you that you alone are worthy of our praise,

00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:46.419
 that we are people just as of old who so often make idols,

00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:48.959
 who we worship in different ways,

00:20:49.579 --> 00:20:52.619
 the things that come between us and you so easily.

00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:54.759
 And just as of old, Lord,

00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:56.819
 as Samuel warned to put away,

00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.240
 so help us to put away our own idols today,

00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:02.899
 that we'll be able to worship you aright,

00:21:02.900 --> 00:21:06.440
 that we'll be able to come seeking, Lord,

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:09.420
 that you will redeem us as your people,

00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.720
 that you will rejoice over us as your people,

00:21:12.800 --> 00:21:14.360
 and that we will delight in you

00:21:14.360 --> 00:21:16.240
 as the God of our hope,

00:21:16.660 --> 00:21:18.220
 the God of our salvation.

00:21:19.060 --> 00:21:20.340
 And we do remember, Lord,

00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:22.640
 all going on within our congregation

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.460
 and within our communities at this time as well.

00:21:26.540 --> 00:21:27.440
 We thank you, Lord,

00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:30.160
 for the work of the gospel as it goes on.

00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.680
 We thank you that your gospel is powerful

00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:34.980
 and mighty to save.

00:21:35.560 --> 00:21:39.420
 We thank you for the way it works in people's lives,

00:21:39.600 --> 00:21:40.600
 the way it reaches out,

00:21:40.660 --> 00:21:43.700
 even when we maybe feel that there is nothing happening.

00:21:44.320 --> 00:21:45.240
 We thank you, Lord,

00:21:45.300 --> 00:21:47.300
 that you have power over all

00:21:47.300 --> 00:21:49.000
 through your mighty spirit.

00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.779
 And we pray, Lord,

00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:52.960
 for a day of your refreshing over us,

00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:55.360
 a day of your blessing with us, Lord,

00:21:55.420 --> 00:21:56.200
 as a people,

00:21:56.860 --> 00:21:58.620
 a day where you would see young and old

00:21:58.619 --> 00:22:01.259
 coming to rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:03.479
 And as we anticipate, Lord,

00:22:03.539 --> 00:22:04.639
 and look forward to,

00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:05.659
 God willing,

00:22:05.739 --> 00:22:06.899
 our communion season,

00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:08.239
 we pray, Lord,

00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:10.000
 your blessing on all of us

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.319
 as we prepare for it

00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:12.659
 and upon the preachers

00:22:12.659 --> 00:22:14.699
 as they prepare to minister as well,

00:22:15.099 --> 00:22:16.819
 not just with ourselves here,

00:22:16.899 --> 00:22:18.139
 but throughout our town

00:22:18.139 --> 00:22:20.559
 and indeed throughout our islands

00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:21.859
 over these coming weeks,

00:22:21.959 --> 00:22:24.479
 that it will be a time of refreshing

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.480
 and nourishing of our souls,

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:29.079
 a time of building up your people,

00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:31.200
 a time of people rejoicing

00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:32.620
 and sinners being saved.

00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:34.980
 May it be a time of real blessing

00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:36.120
 as we look forward,

00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:38.200
 not for our own glory,

00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:39.819
 but for yours.

00:22:40.339 --> 00:22:42.079
 Be with us, Lord, in it all.

00:22:42.620 --> 00:22:44.220
 And may your name be praised.

00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:45.620
 Remember, too,

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:47.120
 the induction taking place,

00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:47.579
 God willing,

00:22:47.660 --> 00:22:48.220
 on Friday.

00:22:48.360 --> 00:22:49.120
 Again, we commit

00:22:49.120 --> 00:22:50.860
 around all my cloud

00:22:50.860 --> 00:22:52.440
 to your care at this time.

00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:53.799
 And we pray, Lord,

00:22:53.860 --> 00:22:54.980
 for your blessing on him

00:22:54.980 --> 00:22:57.100
 as his new ministry will begin.

00:22:57.820 --> 00:22:59.340
 Remember, Reverend Paul Murray,

00:22:59.420 --> 00:23:00.660
 as he will lead the service

00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:01.700
 on Friday evening.

00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:02.380
 Be with him.

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.200
 Uphold him in his preparation

00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:05.799
 and on the evening as well.

00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:07.600
 And may we see many people

00:23:07.600 --> 00:23:08.720
 coming to rejoice

00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:10.640
 with those in North Tolstain.

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.080
 Give thanks for your goodness

00:23:12.080 --> 00:23:13.600
 in this way

00:23:13.600 --> 00:23:15.279
 and seeking your blessing

00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:17.080
 upon the ministry

00:23:17.080 --> 00:23:18.160
 of your word there.

00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:20.559
 Remember our islands,

00:23:20.779 --> 00:23:21.620
 Lord, as a whole.

00:23:21.619 --> 00:23:22.819
 We know, Lord,

00:23:22.879 --> 00:23:24.399
 it's been such a sad time

00:23:24.399 --> 00:23:25.239
 for so many,

00:23:25.859 --> 00:23:27.579
 so many funerals

00:23:27.579 --> 00:23:28.319
 taking place

00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:29.779
 over these last few weeks.

00:23:29.979 --> 00:23:30.879
 And we just pray

00:23:30.879 --> 00:23:31.739
 for your comfort.

00:23:31.959 --> 00:23:33.079
 We pray for your blessing.

00:23:33.619 --> 00:23:34.939
 We pray for your peace

00:23:34.939 --> 00:23:35.959
 to be upon us.

00:23:36.439 --> 00:23:37.139
 It's a peace

00:23:37.139 --> 00:23:39.459
 that we cannot understand.

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:40.279
 It's a peace,

00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:41.279
 as the word says,

00:23:41.339 --> 00:23:42.939
 that passes understanding.

00:23:43.479 --> 00:23:44.979
 But we thank you for it.

00:23:45.459 --> 00:23:47.000
 And how in times of need,

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:47.959
 when you provided,

00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:49.000
 we are so refreshed

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:50.640
 refreshed and encouraged,

00:23:51.180 --> 00:23:51.920
 even in the sorrow

00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:52.759
 of our hearts,

00:23:52.819 --> 00:23:53.380
 that we know

00:23:53.380 --> 00:23:54.839
 that you are God

00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:56.019
 and that you are with us.

00:23:56.579 --> 00:23:57.500
 So we pray, Lord,

00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:58.519
 that people will be able

00:23:58.519 --> 00:23:59.740
 to call upon your name

00:23:59.740 --> 00:24:02.039
 together as a people,

00:24:02.099 --> 00:24:02.880
 that we will hear

00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:05.000
 your voice speaking to us,

00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:06.819
 that there will be a voice

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:08.420
 that makes us turn to you

00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:09.640
 and seek your face.

00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:11.539
 Remember our land,

00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:11.899
 O Lord,

00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:13.480
 we pray as we continue

00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:15.279
 to pray for our nation

00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:16.059
 as a whole

00:24:16.059 --> 00:24:17.700
 and all that goes on

00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:18.440
 around us.

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:19.720
 We hear so much sorrow

00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:20.519
 and sadness

00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:21.839
 in so many places.

00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:24.379
 And as we've heard

00:24:24.379 --> 00:24:25.059
 so often,

00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:25.399
 Lord,

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:27.059
 that we are

00:24:27.059 --> 00:24:28.119
 in a day of darkness,

00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:29.460
 we thank you

00:24:29.460 --> 00:24:30.159
 for the light

00:24:30.159 --> 00:24:30.940
 of the gospel

00:24:30.940 --> 00:24:32.119
 and we pray

00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:33.480
 that it will shine brightly

00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:34.720
 throughout our land

00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:36.059
 and throughout the world,

00:24:36.619 --> 00:24:37.299
 that your word

00:24:37.299 --> 00:24:37.859
 will go out

00:24:37.859 --> 00:24:38.539
 with power

00:24:38.539 --> 00:24:40.599
 from those leading over us

00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:42.740
 in positions of power

00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:43.339
 and authority

00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:44.119
 right down

00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:45.899
 through every people

00:24:45.899 --> 00:24:47.319
 and place of our land

00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:48.559
 that your voice

00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:49.420
 will be heard

00:24:49.420 --> 00:24:50.779
 and that your name

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:52.119
 will be praised.

00:24:52.259 --> 00:24:53.279
 Keep us, O Lord,

00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:54.119
 looking to you

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:55.379
 and help us to pray.

00:24:55.940 --> 00:24:56.659
 Help us to pray

00:24:56.659 --> 00:24:57.759
 even in all our doubts

00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:59.039
 and fears and worries

00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:00.500
 that we will remember

00:25:00.500 --> 00:25:01.480
 that you are God

00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:03.139
 and there is no other.

00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:04.700
 So hear us now

00:25:04.700 --> 00:25:05.599
 and continue with us

00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:06.740
 in our worship of you

00:25:06.740 --> 00:25:07.960
 and may your name

00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:09.440
 be praised and glorified

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:10.140
 in our midst

00:25:10.140 --> 00:25:11.200
 and in our hearts.

00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:12.680
 Hear our prayers

00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:13.980
 and forgive our sins

00:25:13.980 --> 00:25:15.140
 as we ask it all

00:25:15.140 --> 00:25:16.660
 in Jesus' name.

00:25:17.120 --> 00:25:17.440
 Amen.

00:25:20.100 --> 00:25:20.840
 So again,

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:22.140
 sing to God's praise

00:25:22.140 --> 00:25:23.160
 before we turn back

00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:24.299
 to look at this passage

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:26.420
 in Psalm 138.

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:29.579
 Psalm 138.

00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:31.000
 We sing verse 1

00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:32.660
 to verse 5.

00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:34.279
 Thee will I praise

00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:35.360
 with all my heart.

00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:37.100
 I will sing praise to Thee

00:25:37.099 --> 00:25:38.579
 before the gods

00:25:38.579 --> 00:25:39.740
 and worship will

00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:41.619
 toward Thy sanctuary.

00:25:41.819 --> 00:25:42.899
 We'll sing from verse 1

00:25:42.899 --> 00:25:43.559
 to 5

00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:45.139
 to God's praise.

00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:45.740
 And the tune

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:46.579
 is mantras.

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:46.919
 Amen.

00:25:46.919 --> 00:25:54.699
 Thee will I face

00:25:54.699 --> 00:25:58.699
 with all my heart.

00:25:58.700 --> 00:26:05.180
 I will sing praise to Thee

00:26:05.180 --> 00:26:09.180
 before the gods

00:26:09.180 --> 00:26:14.180
 and worship will

00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:19.240
 to Lord Thy Son

00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:21.519
 o cop 107.

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:43.559
 Lord Thine

00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:44.720
 and worship шill

00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:45.380
 Oldalition

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:49.540
 divine, O

00:26:49.540 --> 00:26:54.140
 thy great name above.

00:26:56.560 --> 00:26:59.720
 Thou didst me

00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:02.060
 a solid

00:27:02.060 --> 00:27:06.200
 dirty when

00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:10.520
 I to thee did

00:27:10.520 --> 00:27:12.180
 cry.

00:27:12.180 --> 00:27:15.060
 I've learned

00:27:15.060 --> 00:27:17.340
 my painting

00:27:17.340 --> 00:27:20.299
 so will

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:21.900
 spread.

00:27:22.460 --> 00:27:23.620
 Dissent

00:27:23.620 --> 00:27:28.180
 and inwardly.

00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:32.480
 All kings

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:33.759
 upon

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:36.180
 the earth

00:27:36.820 --> 00:27:38.180
 that I

00:27:38.180 --> 00:27:40.180
 shall

00:27:40.180 --> 00:27:42.299
 give thee

00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:44.620
 praise, O

00:27:44.620 --> 00:27:46.360
 Lord.

00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:48.420
 When a

00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:50.060
 state

00:27:50.060 --> 00:27:51.100
 groan,

00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:53.240
 thy heart

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:54.240
 shall

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.180
 hear

00:27:55.840 --> 00:27:58.180
 thy true

00:27:58.700 --> 00:28:01.180
 unfaithful

00:28:01.180 --> 00:28:03.180
 word.

00:28:03.180 --> 00:28:07.620
 Yea, in the

00:28:07.620 --> 00:28:09.100
 righteous

00:28:09.100 --> 00:28:12.299
 ways of

00:28:12.299 --> 00:28:13.240
 God,

00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:14.500
 with

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:15.940
 madness

00:28:15.940 --> 00:28:17.240
 they

00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:18.180
 shall

00:28:18.180 --> 00:28:20.400
 sing,

00:28:20.980 --> 00:28:22.060
 for

00:28:22.060 --> 00:28:23.299
 grace

00:28:23.299 --> 00:28:24.399
 and

00:28:24.399 --> 00:28:25.680
 glory

00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:28.519
 of the

00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.200
 Lord,

00:28:30.639 --> 00:28:31.680
 will

00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:32.740
 not

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:35.000
 forever

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:36.680
 reign.

00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:50.099
 We can turn back now to a reading in 1 Samuel chapter 7.

00:28:50.099 --> 00:28:53.299
 We read again at verse 12.

00:28:54.199 --> 00:28:57.439
 1 Samuel chapter 7 at verse 12.

00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:06.579
 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer.

00:29:07.219 --> 00:29:11.679
 For he said, till now the Lord has helped us.

00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:20.140
 We're very familiar living where we do and seeing stones and rocks all around us.

00:29:20.539 --> 00:29:25.080
 It doesn't matter how often you go through the garden and weed out all the stones.

00:29:25.220 --> 00:29:27.500
 There seems to be always more that will come back.

00:29:28.320 --> 00:29:34.980
 And as you go out and about, everywhere you look around yourselves, you see stones and rocks of different shapes and sizes.

00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:43.740
 But as you look around, there's sometimes particular places where you see stones that stand out for a reason.

00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.620
 It may be a pile of stones placed in the shape of a cairn.

00:29:49.120 --> 00:29:52.680
 And you wonder to yourself, what does that mean? Why is it there?

00:29:52.680 --> 00:30:01.460
 It may be as you're passing through villages, you see stones that have been shaped and formed to form a memorial.

00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:05.580
 Like the war memorials we see throughout our islands.

00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:09.900
 And you see them and you ask yourself, or maybe you're asked by somebody else,

00:30:10.100 --> 00:30:12.000
 why are they there and what do they mean?

00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:17.620
 You also see standing stones and different kinds of stones around the island

00:30:17.620 --> 00:30:21.200
 that seem to have been placed there maybe a very long time ago.

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:24.200
 And people again ask, you know, where do they come from?

00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:25.460
 What do they mean?

00:30:26.259 --> 00:30:27.400
 What do they represent?

00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:30.819
 So we're surrounded by these kinds of things.

00:30:31.059 --> 00:30:33.380
 And they make us ask questions.

00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:37.960
 And perhaps that's the very reason why they've been put there in the past.

00:30:38.140 --> 00:30:42.620
 They're significant for a reason because they bring us back to ask these questions.

00:30:43.080 --> 00:30:44.100
 What does it mean?

00:30:44.180 --> 00:30:45.700
 What does it stand for?

00:30:46.080 --> 00:30:48.220
 And they stand as a reminder to something.

00:30:48.220 --> 00:30:56.059
 Like war memorials keep reminding us day by day and year by year of the great sacrifices that were made for our freedom.

00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:02.720
 And very often as you're reading through the Bible, you find the different parts, especially in the Old Testament.

00:31:03.299 --> 00:31:09.940
 You find times when the people set out piles of stones or certain kinds of stones.

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:12.059
 And they placed them there for a reason.

00:31:12.059 --> 00:31:18.539
 And the reason was that as people would see them, they would ask, what do they mean?

00:31:19.139 --> 00:31:21.159
 What does that stand for?

00:31:21.619 --> 00:31:30.619
 And here in Samuel, 1 Samuel chapter 7, we have one of these occasions when a stone is placed there as a marker.

00:31:30.619 --> 00:31:33.659
 So people, when they ask, what does this stone mean?

00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:35.119
 We'll have an answer.

00:31:36.059 --> 00:31:43.359
 Samuel, it says in verse 12, took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shennan and called its name Ebenezer.

00:31:43.439 --> 00:31:47.179
 For he said, till now the Lord has helped us.

00:31:47.239 --> 00:31:53.199
 It will be a reminder to the people continually that the Lord has helped them.

00:31:53.200 --> 00:32:02.039
 And this is the last time you see Samuel mentioned in this book is way back in chapter 3.

00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:06.680
 When you see Samuel called by God as a young man.

00:32:07.299 --> 00:32:11.240
 Samuel, it's an amazing story to read through his life story.

00:32:11.340 --> 00:32:14.600
 How he came to be dedicated to the Lord by his mother.

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:16.980
 To serve the Lord all his days.

00:32:17.059 --> 00:32:21.620
 But in chapter 3, you then jump forward to chapter 7.

00:32:21.619 --> 00:32:28.459
 Now in chapter 3, it's talking about how the word was blessed through Samuel.

00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:32.119
 It says in the end of chapter 3, verse 21,

00:32:32.679 --> 00:32:39.799
 The Lord appeared again at Shiloh, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the Lord.

00:32:39.959 --> 00:32:43.759
 The word of the Lord was blessed through Samuel.

00:32:44.139 --> 00:32:51.039
 But in the intervening time, and it seems that a number of years have passed by between chapter 3 and chapter 7,

00:32:51.619 --> 00:32:56.799
 You think to yourself, well, if they had the word of God, things would have gone well for them.

00:32:57.379 --> 00:33:00.059
 They would have carried on and been blessed by God.

00:33:00.500 --> 00:33:02.579
 But that's not what happened.

00:33:03.179 --> 00:33:06.779
 The Ark of the Covenant was taken away by the Philistines.

00:33:06.879 --> 00:33:08.619
 The people felt hopeless.

00:33:08.859 --> 00:33:12.239
 They felt as if almost God had left them.

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:16.779
 And there's a sense of dismay and despair.

00:33:17.500 --> 00:33:21.900
 And what's interesting is when you see at the beginning of chapter 4,

00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:26.660
 There's two verses in chapter 4 that stand out for us.

00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:28.120
 Verse 1 says,

00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:30.559
 The word of Samuel came to all Israel.

00:33:31.180 --> 00:33:33.120
 There's the end of Samuel speaking.

00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:36.319
 Now Israel went out to battle against the Philistines.

00:33:36.460 --> 00:33:38.460
 They encamped at Ebenezer.

00:33:39.059 --> 00:33:41.359
 And the Philistines encamped at Aphek.

00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:45.240
 And so it goes on, the Philistines conquered them.

00:33:45.879 --> 00:33:48.939
 But then when you go forward to verse 21 in chapter 4,

00:33:49.539 --> 00:33:52.139
 And this is after the Ark's been captured.

00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:57.919
 Eli has passed away, the one who raised Samuel, who looked after him.

00:33:58.299 --> 00:34:00.219
 His two sons had disobeyed him.

00:34:00.939 --> 00:34:03.719
 They had been unfaithful towards God and his word.

00:34:03.959 --> 00:34:07.599
 And one of the sons, Phinehas' wife, gave birth.

00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:10.279
 And look at what she called the name of the child.

00:34:10.839 --> 00:34:11.799
 In verse 21,

00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:15.039
 She named the child Ichabod, saying,

00:34:15.759 --> 00:34:17.880
 The glory has departed.

00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:21.019
 It was significant that that's what he was named.

00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:23.659
 The glory of God had departed.

00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:28.219
 The Ark of the Covenant had been taken away.

00:34:28.219 --> 00:34:33.339
 And yet here now we begin to see a turning point.

00:34:33.879 --> 00:34:37.399
 The glory had departed because the Ark was lost.

00:34:38.299 --> 00:34:41.459
 But now there was a return.

00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.199
 But even then they didn't know what to do with it.

00:34:45.839 --> 00:34:48.659
 Now when we think of our own situation today,

00:34:49.299 --> 00:34:53.859
 And you think of the glory of God that was enjoyed throughout our land.

00:34:53.860 --> 00:34:58.559
 And the blessings that were enjoyed from God's hand throughout our land.

00:34:59.059 --> 00:35:02.380
 It's almost like we could say Ichabod today.

00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:06.000
 The glory of God has departed.

00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:08.720
 Instead of losing the Ark in battle,

00:35:09.200 --> 00:35:12.640
 We're almost in danger of giving away the presence of God

00:35:12.640 --> 00:35:16.860
 And the blessing of God through casting him out of our society.

00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:21.240
 Casting him away from ourselves as a people.

00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:25.459
 But in the midst of that, there's still this hope.

00:35:26.099 --> 00:35:31.519
 And that's the hope that Samuel calls the people of Israel to here in chapter 7.

00:35:31.979 --> 00:35:35.439
 And the call that we have to ourselves as well.

00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:39.559
 There's a warning for us here when you come into chapter 7.

00:35:40.919 --> 00:35:44.079
 And Samuel says in verse 3,

00:35:44.079 --> 00:36:00.319
 There's a call to return to the Lord.

00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:05.019
 Because when you see in verse 2 of this chapter,

00:36:05.180 --> 00:36:09.780
 It says that all Israel lamented after the Lord.

00:36:10.600 --> 00:36:11.820
 There was a sense of,

00:36:12.380 --> 00:36:15.780
 I'm sorry, but I don't know what to do with this sorrow.

00:36:16.500 --> 00:36:20.300
 There's a sense of not knowing how to go about their lives.

00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:22.780
 They know they've turned against God.

00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:24.400
 They know they've offended God.

00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:27.280
 But they don't know where to go with it.

00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:31.960
 For 20 years, there's been this lamenting.

00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:35.780
 Until Samuel comes with this word.

00:36:36.740 --> 00:36:38.519
 And for ourselves today, think of,

00:36:38.860 --> 00:36:41.700
 Even looking back in your own life, 20 years.

00:36:42.720 --> 00:36:47.240
 What has been your experience of the Lord through those 20 years?

00:36:48.160 --> 00:36:51.240
 Have you been lamenting, just like the children of Israel here?

00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:54.259
 Maybe feeling sorry about the things that you're doing,

00:36:54.359 --> 00:36:56.359
 But not knowing what to do about it.

00:36:56.419 --> 00:36:59.519
 Have you been maybe just ignoring God for 20 years?

00:36:59.619 --> 00:37:04.819
 Or have you known the blessing of God's transforming power in these 20 years?

00:37:06.479 --> 00:37:09.599
 There's so much that we can look back over in our lives and think,

00:37:09.959 --> 00:37:14.879
 Can we truly be thankful to God for what He has done for us?

00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:21.599
 Are we just lamenting or are we truly repenting?

00:37:22.240 --> 00:37:24.019
 There's a huge difference.

00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:28.900
 And that's what Samuel comes to call the people to.

00:37:30.160 --> 00:37:35.800
 And our nation could so easily become a nation that sees stone buildings,

00:37:36.059 --> 00:37:38.640
 Church buildings throughout our land emptied,

00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:42.619
 Standing empty in many different parts of our nation.

00:37:42.619 --> 00:37:44.960
 And people may be passing by and saying,

00:37:45.219 --> 00:37:46.779
 What do they mean?

00:37:47.179 --> 00:37:49.480
 What was that place once used for?

00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:51.339
 Why is it empty now?

00:37:52.299 --> 00:37:54.759
 And what explanation would we give?

00:37:55.599 --> 00:38:00.059
 Or would we long to see our nation a place where these places are full

00:38:00.059 --> 00:38:03.559
 With people coming to seek the Lord?

00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:08.679
 Well here, Samuel enters the people once again.

00:38:08.739 --> 00:38:10.099
 And he comes with a word.

00:38:10.099 --> 00:38:12.400
 And the word is mercy.

00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:14.920
 The word is mercy.

00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:18.900
 And that's the word we want to think about together today especially.

00:38:19.059 --> 00:38:22.500
 The mercy that we see that Samuel speaks of.

00:38:23.339 --> 00:38:25.299
 And the first thing we notice about this is,

00:38:25.819 --> 00:38:29.039
 Samuel highlights the need of God's mercy.

00:38:29.779 --> 00:38:32.339
 The need of God's mercy.

00:38:33.059 --> 00:38:36.099
 Back in chapter 3 when Samuel appeared,

00:38:36.099 --> 00:38:39.759
 It was a period of grace for God's people.

00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.719
 It was a period of God's favor upon them.

00:38:44.460 --> 00:38:48.239
 And Samuel was in the midst with God's word to the people.

00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:49.940
 And it was blessed.

00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:51.940
 But they had gone away.

00:38:52.779 --> 00:38:55.400
 And as someone puts it in one of the commentaries,

00:38:55.500 --> 00:38:55.860
 He says,

00:38:55.860 --> 00:39:00.660
 The reappearing of Samuel here in chapter 7

00:39:00.660 --> 00:39:06.059
 Is a reappearing of fresh grace from God.

00:39:06.720 --> 00:39:09.940
 The people who have been lost and despondent

00:39:09.940 --> 00:39:13.760
 And not knowing what to do with the presence of God in their midst,

00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:17.539
 Samuel comes to give them direction.

00:39:17.539 --> 00:39:23.699
 Samuel comes to show them their need of God's mercy.

00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:27.179
 So that's what he says in verse 3.

00:39:27.699 --> 00:39:30.099
 The people have been lamenting after the Lord,

00:39:30.219 --> 00:39:31.759
 But not repenting.

00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:34.960
 And Samuel comes and calls to them and says,

00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:37.840
 If all the house of Israel,

00:39:37.940 --> 00:39:42.119
 If you are returning to the Lord your God with all your heart,

00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:47.539
 Then put away the foreign gods and the asterisk from among you

00:39:47.539 --> 00:39:53.460
 And direct your hearts to the Lord and serve Him only.

00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:56.579
 This is a call to repentance.

00:39:56.579 --> 00:40:00.159
 It's a turning away from the idols that they have

00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:02.840
 And turning back to God.

00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:05.760
 And that's the heart of repentance.

00:40:06.300 --> 00:40:08.720
 Turning from one thing to another.

00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:11.720
 The Shorter Catechism puts it like this,

00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:15.559
 Repentance unto life is a saving grace,

00:40:16.220 --> 00:40:17.200
 Whereby a sinner,

00:40:17.700 --> 00:40:19.620
 Out of a true sense of his sin

00:40:19.620 --> 00:40:22.900
 And apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ,

00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:25.600
 Doth with grief and hatred

00:40:25.600 --> 00:40:27.280
 Turn from,

00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:28.920
 Of his sin,

00:40:29.059 --> 00:40:30.940
 Turn from it unto God

00:40:30.940 --> 00:40:33.039
 With full purpose of

00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:35.619
 And endeavour after new obedience.

00:40:36.619 --> 00:40:39.460
 It's about turning with hatred of sin,

00:40:40.019 --> 00:40:41.099
 Turning to God.

00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:42.780
 And that's the call

00:40:42.780 --> 00:40:46.579
 That Samuel is giving to the people here.

00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:48.579
 Turn from your idols,

00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:50.679
 Turn from your false gods,

00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:53.079
 And come to God.

00:40:53.780 --> 00:40:54.460
 Pour out,

00:40:55.059 --> 00:40:56.320
 Direct your heart

00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:57.220
 To the Lord

00:40:57.220 --> 00:40:59.539
 And serve Him only.

00:41:00.539 --> 00:41:02.559
 And He will deliver you

00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:04.039
 Out of the hands

00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:05.519
 Of the Philistines.

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:07.900
 Lamenting for 20 years

00:41:07.900 --> 00:41:10.360
 Is not hating sin

00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:11.640
 And turning from it.

00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:13.519
 Repenting

00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:15.440
 Is turning from sin

00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:17.200
 And looking to God.

00:41:17.260 --> 00:41:18.340
 And that's the call

00:41:18.340 --> 00:41:20.539
 That Samuel's putting out

00:41:20.539 --> 00:41:21.680
 To the people here.

00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:24.779
 Confess your sins

00:41:24.779 --> 00:41:26.319
 Towards God.

00:41:27.059 --> 00:41:28.639
 And it's not easy.

00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:31.079
 It's not easy for them.

00:41:31.460 --> 00:41:32.980
 It's not easy for us.

00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:35.119
 It's not an easy thing to do.

00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:36.279
 It doesn't come naturally

00:41:36.279 --> 00:41:38.019
 To come and bow the knee

00:41:38.019 --> 00:41:39.059
 Before God.

00:41:39.619 --> 00:41:41.339
 Because we think we can manage

00:41:41.339 --> 00:41:42.839
 By ourselves.

00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:46.000
 But a realization of sin

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:47.360
 Is a realization of

00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:48.880
 Who God is.

00:41:49.500 --> 00:41:50.600
 And what our sin

00:41:50.600 --> 00:41:51.900
 Deserves.

00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:54.079
 And Samuel here

00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:55.500
 Is calling them

00:41:55.500 --> 00:41:58.120
 To see the mercy of God

00:41:58.120 --> 00:41:59.660
 That is on offer.

00:42:00.640 --> 00:42:01.860
 So the first step

00:42:01.860 --> 00:42:02.640
 Is so often

00:42:02.640 --> 00:42:04.079
 As for many people

00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:05.079
 To acknowledge

00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:05.980
 Our sin.

00:42:06.100 --> 00:42:06.880
 To acknowledge

00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:08.600
 Where we are going wrong.

00:42:09.019 --> 00:42:10.019
 To acknowledge

00:42:10.019 --> 00:42:12.320
 That we need help.

00:42:13.720 --> 00:42:15.500
 There is a man

00:42:15.500 --> 00:42:16.140
 By the name of

00:42:16.140 --> 00:42:17.140
 Kenny Sampson.

00:42:17.820 --> 00:42:18.360
 Some of you

00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:18.940
 If you're interested

00:42:18.940 --> 00:42:19.539
 In football

00:42:19.539 --> 00:42:20.460
 You may be familiar

00:42:20.460 --> 00:42:20.920
 With him.

00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:22.220
 He used to play

00:42:22.220 --> 00:42:22.780
 For England.

00:42:22.900 --> 00:42:24.100
 He played in the 1986

00:42:24.100 --> 00:42:25.100
 World Cup.

00:42:25.180 --> 00:42:25.860
 He used to play

00:42:25.860 --> 00:42:27.019
 For Arsenal.

00:42:28.019 --> 00:42:29.380
 But for many years

00:42:29.380 --> 00:42:30.480
 He was struggling

00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:31.360
 With an addiction.

00:42:32.240 --> 00:42:32.980
 An addiction

00:42:32.980 --> 00:42:34.059
 To alcohol.

00:42:35.059 --> 00:42:35.519
 And there was

00:42:35.519 --> 00:42:36.940
 A program on about him

00:42:36.940 --> 00:42:38.120
 Just a few years ago.

00:42:38.740 --> 00:42:39.160
 And there were

00:42:39.160 --> 00:42:40.160
 So many people

00:42:40.160 --> 00:42:42.039
 Just wanting to help him

00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:43.219
 Trying to love him

00:42:43.219 --> 00:42:43.960
 Trying to be there

00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:44.480
 For him

00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:45.699
 Trying to show him

00:42:45.699 --> 00:42:46.699
 That he needed help.

00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:47.759
 But he just

00:42:47.759 --> 00:42:48.860
 Wouldn't listen.

00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:50.659
 And it was such

00:42:50.659 --> 00:42:52.000
 A sad program.

00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:53.659
 And at the end of it

00:42:53.659 --> 00:42:55.219
 The interviewer

00:42:55.219 --> 00:42:56.360
 Speaking to him

00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:57.119
 Telling him

00:42:57.119 --> 00:42:57.880
 You know you've got

00:42:57.880 --> 00:42:59.340
 Such a beautiful family

00:42:59.340 --> 00:43:00.059
 You've got so many

00:43:00.059 --> 00:43:00.940
 Friends around you

00:43:00.940 --> 00:43:01.579
 You stand

00:43:01.579 --> 00:43:03.000
 To lose it all

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:04.159
 If you don't stop.

00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:06.659
 And his response was

00:43:06.659 --> 00:43:10.000
 I won't stop drinking.

00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:13.279
 It was such a sad picture.

00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:16.000
 He wouldn't stop.

00:43:17.259 --> 00:43:19.339
 But just a couple of weeks ago

00:43:19.339 --> 00:43:20.519
 I was reading about him.

00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:22.559
 And he's been sober

00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:23.960
 For two years.

00:43:25.379 --> 00:43:27.099
 People didn't give up.

00:43:28.059 --> 00:43:29.000
 People continued

00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:30.379
 To look out for him

00:43:30.379 --> 00:43:31.480
 And tried to help him.

00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:32.199
 And eventually

00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:33.639
 He acknowledged

00:43:33.639 --> 00:43:34.879
 He needed help.

00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:36.759
 And he got the help

00:43:36.759 --> 00:43:37.239
 He needed.

00:43:38.739 --> 00:43:39.819
 Now Samuel here

00:43:39.819 --> 00:43:41.859
 Is addressing a problem.

00:43:42.679 --> 00:43:43.439
 A problem

00:43:43.439 --> 00:43:44.659
 Not just like an addiction

00:43:44.659 --> 00:43:45.759
 Like Kenny Samson had

00:43:45.759 --> 00:43:46.460
 But a problem

00:43:46.460 --> 00:43:47.639
 That we all have.

00:43:48.259 --> 00:43:49.419
 A problem that we all

00:43:49.419 --> 00:43:50.319
 Have to acknowledge.

00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:52.439
 That we are all sinners

00:43:52.439 --> 00:43:54.299
 In need of mercy

00:43:54.299 --> 00:43:56.659
 From the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:43:56.659 --> 00:43:58.679
 To put away

00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:00.039
 The idols.

00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:01.899
 To put away

00:44:01.899 --> 00:44:02.460
 The things

00:44:02.460 --> 00:44:03.719
 That we are addicted to

00:44:03.719 --> 00:44:04.759
 That keep us

00:44:04.759 --> 00:44:06.179
 From having a right

00:44:06.179 --> 00:44:07.859
 Relationship with God

00:44:07.859 --> 00:44:09.639
 And turning to him

00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:10.579
 Instead.

00:44:10.819 --> 00:44:11.940
 So Samuel comes

00:44:11.940 --> 00:44:13.799
 With this fresh grace

00:44:13.799 --> 00:44:15.019
 This call

00:44:15.019 --> 00:44:16.119
 To realize

00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:17.259
 Their need of mercy

00:44:17.259 --> 00:44:18.639
 From God.

00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:20.899
 But then it goes on

00:44:20.899 --> 00:44:22.039
 And what we see is

00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:23.779
 Samuel speaks then

00:44:23.780 --> 00:44:24.800
 Of an experience

00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:26.820
 Of God's mercy.

00:44:27.600 --> 00:44:29.060
 And how they experience

00:44:29.060 --> 00:44:29.940
 God's mercy

00:44:29.940 --> 00:44:32.100
 In such a wonderful way.

00:44:32.100 --> 00:44:33.360
 And you see that

00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:34.100
 In verse 5

00:44:34.620 --> 00:44:36.100
 Through to verse 11.

00:44:38.420 --> 00:44:39.100
 Samuel gathers

00:44:39.620 --> 00:44:41.460
 The people together.

00:44:41.580 --> 00:44:42.100
 Look at verse 5.

00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:43.640
 It says

00:44:43.640 --> 00:44:44.380
 Then Samuel said

00:44:44.380 --> 00:44:45.840
 Gather all Israel

00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:46.560
 At Mizpah

00:44:46.560 --> 00:44:47.920
 And I will pray

00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:48.700
 To the Lord

00:44:48.700 --> 00:44:49.400
 For you.

00:44:50.240 --> 00:44:51.160
 All the people

00:44:51.160 --> 00:44:52.380
 Recognizing

00:44:52.380 --> 00:44:53.860
 That they have

00:44:53.860 --> 00:44:55.760
 Fallen short of God

00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:56.280
 That they need

00:44:56.280 --> 00:44:56.900
 God's mercy

00:44:56.900 --> 00:44:58.039
 They come together

00:44:58.039 --> 00:44:59.619
 With Samuel

00:44:59.619 --> 00:45:00.680
 At Mizpah

00:45:00.680 --> 00:45:01.300
 And he says

00:45:01.300 --> 00:45:02.480
 I will pray

00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:03.900
 For you.

00:45:04.619 --> 00:45:05.940
 And look at the response

00:45:05.940 --> 00:45:07.079
 Of the people

00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:07.700
 In verse 6.

00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:08.380
 So they gathered

00:45:08.380 --> 00:45:08.920
 At Mizpah

00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:09.720
 And drew water

00:45:09.720 --> 00:45:11.000
 And poured it out

00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:11.800
 Before the Lord

00:45:11.800 --> 00:45:13.079
 And fasted on that day

00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:13.920
 And said there

00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:15.220
 We have sinned

00:45:16.079 --> 00:45:17.200
 Against the Lord.

00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:18.740
 There is this

00:45:18.740 --> 00:45:20.220
 Acknowledgement.

00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:21.559
 There is this

00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:22.500
 Realization

00:45:22.500 --> 00:45:24.340
 We have sinned

00:45:24.340 --> 00:45:26.279
 Against God.

00:45:27.019 --> 00:45:27.900
 But Samuel

00:45:27.900 --> 00:45:29.639
 Comes with a plea

00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:30.860
 For the people.

00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:32.400
 He is praying

00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:33.460
 For them.

00:45:34.299 --> 00:45:34.900
 And the plea

00:45:34.900 --> 00:45:35.559
 For help

00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:37.079
 In the midst

00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:37.559
 Of the plea

00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:38.039
 For help

00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:38.940
 The wonder is

00:45:38.940 --> 00:45:40.420
 That God

00:45:40.420 --> 00:45:41.960
 Is there to help.

00:45:42.900 --> 00:45:44.219
 It's not always

00:45:44.219 --> 00:45:45.940
 An easy path

00:45:45.940 --> 00:45:46.639
 As you see

00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:48.079
 As it goes on here.

00:45:48.179 --> 00:45:48.659
 And sometimes

00:45:48.659 --> 00:45:49.400
 It's a path

00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:50.079
 That leads us

00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:51.260
 To be afraid

00:45:51.260 --> 00:45:51.860
 And wonder

00:45:51.860 --> 00:45:52.980
 Just what way

00:45:52.980 --> 00:45:53.440
 To go

00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:54.480
 And what to do.

00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:55.760
 And you see that

00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:56.579
 In verse 7.

00:45:57.220 --> 00:45:58.000
 They acknowledge

00:45:58.000 --> 00:45:58.740
 They have sinned

00:45:58.740 --> 00:45:59.599
 Against God.

00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:01.440
 But

00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:02.240
 And Samuel

00:46:02.240 --> 00:46:03.300
 Judged the people

00:46:03.300 --> 00:46:03.500
 There.

00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:04.240
 That means he brought

00:46:04.240 --> 00:46:05.260
 The word of God

00:46:05.260 --> 00:46:05.740
 To them.

00:46:05.860 --> 00:46:06.980
 But then in verse 7.

00:46:07.539 --> 00:46:08.460
 Now when the Philistines

00:46:08.460 --> 00:46:09.400
 Heard that the people

00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:09.820
 Of Israel

00:46:09.820 --> 00:46:10.980
 Had gathered at Mizpah

00:46:10.980 --> 00:46:12.820
 The lords of the Philistines

00:46:12.820 --> 00:46:14.139
 Went up against Israel.

00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:15.240
 And when the people

00:46:15.240 --> 00:46:15.740
 Of Israel

00:46:15.740 --> 00:46:16.440
 Heard of it

00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:17.820
 They were afraid

00:46:17.820 --> 00:46:19.619
 Of the Philistines.

00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:22.079
 What's their response

00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:22.820
 When they hear?

00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:24.519
 They're afraid.

00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:26.940
 And so often

00:46:26.940 --> 00:46:27.679
 When we come

00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:28.480
 Before God

00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:29.139
 And acknowledge

00:46:29.139 --> 00:46:29.800
 Our sin

00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:31.079
 It leaves us

00:46:31.079 --> 00:46:31.880
 Afraid.

00:46:33.420 --> 00:46:34.139
 And another thing

00:46:34.139 --> 00:46:34.599
 It does

00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:35.139
 Is just like

00:46:35.139 --> 00:46:35.699
 When the people

00:46:35.699 --> 00:46:36.240
 Of Israel

00:46:36.240 --> 00:46:37.059
 Here gathered

00:46:37.059 --> 00:46:38.260
 And the Philistines

00:46:38.260 --> 00:46:39.159
 Heard about it

00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:39.740
 And they gathered

00:46:39.739 --> 00:46:40.259
 To come

00:46:40.259 --> 00:46:41.419
 And fight

00:46:41.419 --> 00:46:42.579
 Against them again

00:46:42.579 --> 00:46:44.000
 When we show

00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:44.500
 An interest

00:46:44.500 --> 00:46:45.179
 In the things

00:46:45.179 --> 00:46:45.859
 Of God

00:46:45.859 --> 00:46:47.259
 When we begin

00:46:47.259 --> 00:46:48.039
 To realize

00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:48.739
 And acknowledge

00:46:48.739 --> 00:46:49.299
 Our sin

00:46:49.299 --> 00:46:50.539
 And say before God

00:46:50.539 --> 00:46:51.719
 We have sinned

00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:52.539
 Against you

00:46:52.539 --> 00:46:53.659
 There is an enemy

00:46:53.659 --> 00:46:54.579
 That will attack

00:46:54.579 --> 00:46:55.199
 As well

00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:56.379
 The devil

00:46:56.379 --> 00:46:58.319
 When he sees

00:46:58.319 --> 00:46:59.319
 Someone interested

00:46:59.319 --> 00:46:59.979
 In the things

00:46:59.979 --> 00:47:00.519
 Of God

00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:01.399
 He will come

00:47:01.399 --> 00:47:02.359
 And fight

00:47:02.359 --> 00:47:03.099
 That battle

00:47:03.099 --> 00:47:04.319
 To take you back

00:47:04.319 --> 00:47:05.779
 He doesn't want

00:47:05.779 --> 00:47:06.479
 To lose any

00:47:06.479 --> 00:47:07.159
 To God

00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:08.679
 And so the battle

00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:09.459
 Will go on

00:47:09.460 --> 00:47:10.800
 And the struggle

00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:11.599
 Will be real

00:47:11.599 --> 00:47:12.920
 And it may leave

00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:14.000
 You a sense

00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:14.820
 Of fear

00:47:14.820 --> 00:47:16.139
 Afraid

00:47:16.139 --> 00:47:17.059
 What am I doing

00:47:17.059 --> 00:47:18.460
 How can I go on

00:47:18.460 --> 00:47:19.539
 In my own strength

00:47:19.539 --> 00:47:21.099
 How can I keep going

00:47:21.099 --> 00:47:21.760
 I'm not up

00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:22.760
 For this battle

00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:25.400
 And that's why

00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:26.400
 It's so important

00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:27.320
 To realize

00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:28.539
 It's so important

00:47:28.539 --> 00:47:28.960
 The experience

00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:30.000
 Of God's mercy

00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:30.659
 That the children

00:47:30.659 --> 00:47:31.320
 Of Israel

00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:32.960
 Enjoyed here

00:47:32.960 --> 00:47:34.579
 They cried

00:47:34.579 --> 00:47:35.599
 To Samuel

00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:35.880
 And said

00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:37.000
 Do not cease

00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:37.860
 To cry out

00:47:37.860 --> 00:47:38.420
 To the Lord

00:47:38.420 --> 00:47:39.079
 Your God

00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:40.219
 For us

00:47:40.219 --> 00:47:42.779
 And so Samuel

00:47:42.779 --> 00:47:43.920
 Continued

00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:44.940
 To pray

00:47:44.940 --> 00:47:46.460
 He offered up

00:47:46.460 --> 00:47:47.880
 A sacrifice

00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:49.800
 And as he did

00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:50.639
 What happened

00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:52.199
 God came

00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:52.980
 To the people

00:47:52.980 --> 00:47:53.500
 And you

00:47:53.500 --> 00:47:54.739
 He showed

00:47:54.739 --> 00:47:55.500
 Them mercy

00:47:55.500 --> 00:47:57.719
 The Philistines

00:47:57.719 --> 00:47:58.380
 Threw near

00:47:58.380 --> 00:47:58.880
 It says

00:47:58.880 --> 00:47:59.699
 In verse 10

00:47:59.699 --> 00:48:01.380
 But the Lord

00:48:01.380 --> 00:48:02.420
 Thundered

00:48:02.420 --> 00:48:03.679
 With a mighty

00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:04.340
 Sound

00:48:04.340 --> 00:48:05.000
 That day

00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:06.380
 The Lord

00:48:06.380 --> 00:48:08.059
 Is greater

00:48:08.059 --> 00:48:09.420
 The Lord

00:48:09.420 --> 00:48:10.320
 Is mighty

00:48:10.320 --> 00:48:11.400
 To save

00:48:11.400 --> 00:48:11.880
 The Lord

00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:13.199
 Is on your side

00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:14.079
 As you put

00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:14.920
 Your trust

00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:15.920
 In him

00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:16.980
 You will

00:48:16.980 --> 00:48:17.920
 Be afraid

00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:18.760
 We will all

00:48:18.760 --> 00:48:19.500
 Be afraid

00:48:19.500 --> 00:48:20.260
 At times

00:48:20.260 --> 00:48:21.180
 We will all

00:48:21.180 --> 00:48:21.840
 Struggle

00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:22.700
 At times

00:48:22.700 --> 00:48:24.660
 But to remember

00:48:24.660 --> 00:48:25.740
 The Lord

00:48:25.740 --> 00:48:27.600
 Is on our side

00:48:27.600 --> 00:48:28.840
 The Lord

00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:30.260
 Is with you

00:48:30.260 --> 00:48:31.680
 And that is what

00:48:31.680 --> 00:48:32.300
 The people

00:48:32.300 --> 00:48:33.220
 Were again

00:48:33.220 --> 00:48:34.480
 Realizing here

00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:35.500
 And that is what

00:48:35.500 --> 00:48:36.540
 We are to realize

00:48:36.540 --> 00:48:37.880
 For ourselves

00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:39.460
 As well

00:48:39.460 --> 00:48:40.700
 The Lord

00:48:40.700 --> 00:48:42.200
 Revived his people

00:48:42.200 --> 00:48:43.360
 And the Lord

00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:44.820
 Revived his protection

00:48:44.820 --> 00:48:46.300
 Over them

00:48:46.300 --> 00:48:47.680
 Samuel

00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:48.879
 They call

00:48:48.879 --> 00:48:49.500
 To him

00:48:49.500 --> 00:48:50.659
 To help

00:48:50.659 --> 00:48:50.919
 Them

00:48:50.919 --> 00:48:52.839
 We don't

00:48:52.839 --> 00:48:53.319
 Call

00:48:53.319 --> 00:48:54.539
 On Samuel

00:48:54.539 --> 00:48:55.099
 Today

00:48:55.099 --> 00:48:56.960
 But who do

00:48:56.960 --> 00:48:57.679
 We call

00:48:57.679 --> 00:48:57.919
 On

00:48:57.919 --> 00:48:59.239
 In the midst

00:48:59.239 --> 00:48:59.799
 Of all

00:48:59.799 --> 00:49:00.559
 Our doubts

00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:01.919
 And fears

00:49:01.919 --> 00:49:02.859
 And anxieties

00:49:02.859 --> 00:49:03.399
 Of going

00:49:03.399 --> 00:49:04.000
 Forward

00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:05.059
 For the Lord

00:49:05.059 --> 00:49:06.059
 Who do we

00:49:06.059 --> 00:49:06.719
 Call on

00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:07.839
 We look

00:49:07.839 --> 00:49:08.579
 To Jesus

00:49:08.579 --> 00:49:10.440
 We call

00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:11.039
 On him

00:49:11.039 --> 00:49:12.299
 We call

00:49:12.299 --> 00:49:12.799
 On him

00:49:12.799 --> 00:49:13.879
 Who gave

00:49:13.879 --> 00:49:14.539
 Himself

00:49:14.539 --> 00:49:15.859
 For us

00:49:15.860 --> 00:49:17.640
 We come

00:49:17.640 --> 00:49:18.900
 In prayer

00:49:18.900 --> 00:49:20.000
 To him

00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:21.140
 And he

00:49:21.140 --> 00:49:21.980
 Hears

00:49:21.980 --> 00:49:22.820
 Your prayer

00:49:22.820 --> 00:49:23.760
 And he

00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:24.380
 Is able

00:49:24.380 --> 00:49:25.480
 To thunder

00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:25.840
 Out

00:49:25.840 --> 00:49:26.280
 Just like

00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:26.780
 The Lord

00:49:26.780 --> 00:49:27.559
 Did here

00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:28.599
 He is able

00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:29.300
 To protect

00:49:29.300 --> 00:49:29.620
 You

00:49:29.620 --> 00:49:30.420
 He is able

00:49:30.420 --> 00:49:31.000
 To keep

00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:31.180
 You

00:49:31.180 --> 00:49:31.579
 He will

00:49:31.579 --> 00:49:32.059
 Shield

00:49:32.059 --> 00:49:32.360
 You

00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:33.019
 He will

00:49:33.019 --> 00:49:33.360
 Never

00:49:33.360 --> 00:49:33.840
 Leave

00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:34.099
 You

00:49:34.099 --> 00:49:35.140
 That is

00:49:35.140 --> 00:49:35.680
 The great

00:49:35.680 --> 00:49:36.340
 Promise

00:49:36.340 --> 00:49:37.740
 We will

00:49:37.740 --> 00:49:38.240
 All have

00:49:38.240 --> 00:49:39.240
 These doubts

00:49:39.240 --> 00:49:40.620
 All have

00:49:40.620 --> 00:49:41.820
 These anxieties

00:49:41.820 --> 00:49:43.200
 But we can

00:49:43.200 --> 00:49:43.820
 Take them

00:49:43.820 --> 00:49:44.519
 To the Lord

00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:45.620
 In prayer

00:49:45.619 --> 00:49:47.279
 If you have

00:49:47.279 --> 00:49:47.739
 Ever read

00:49:47.739 --> 00:49:48.239
 The book

00:49:48.239 --> 00:49:49.380
 Pilgrim's

00:49:49.380 --> 00:49:49.779
 Progress

00:49:49.779 --> 00:49:50.559
 This will

00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:51.179
 Be familiar

00:49:51.179 --> 00:49:51.719
 To you

00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:52.559
 If you have

00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:53.199
 Never read

00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:53.859
 It do

00:49:53.859 --> 00:49:54.440
 Read it

00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:55.460
 Because it

00:49:55.460 --> 00:49:56.239
 Speaks so

00:49:56.239 --> 00:49:56.799
 Much of

00:49:56.799 --> 00:49:57.679
 The Christian's

00:49:57.679 --> 00:49:58.079
 Journey

00:49:58.079 --> 00:49:59.500
 Of carrying

00:49:59.500 --> 00:50:00.059
 This great

00:50:00.059 --> 00:50:00.460
 Weight

00:50:00.460 --> 00:50:01.460
 Of sin

00:50:01.460 --> 00:50:01.819
 On our

00:50:01.819 --> 00:50:02.179
 Back

00:50:02.179 --> 00:50:02.420
 And the

00:50:02.420 --> 00:50:02.659
 Way

00:50:02.659 --> 00:50:03.559
 The journey

00:50:03.559 --> 00:50:04.259
 Takes so

00:50:04.259 --> 00:50:05.139
 Many twists

00:50:05.139 --> 00:50:05.799
 And turns

00:50:05.799 --> 00:50:07.059
 And there is

00:50:07.059 --> 00:50:07.799
 One point

00:50:07.799 --> 00:50:08.400
 In the book

00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:09.079
 Where John

00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:09.799
 Bunyan wrote

00:50:09.799 --> 00:50:10.920
 Speaking of

00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:11.579
 Christian

00:50:11.579 --> 00:50:12.619
 And a

00:50:12.619 --> 00:50:13.319
 Friend he has

00:50:13.319 --> 00:50:13.699
 With him

00:50:13.699 --> 00:50:14.519
 Hopeful

00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:16.000
 And once

00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:16.340
 Again

00:50:16.340 --> 00:50:16.599
 They have

00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:17.139
 Taken a

00:50:17.139 --> 00:50:17.460
 Deed

00:50:17.460 --> 00:50:17.780
 Through

00:50:17.780 --> 00:50:18.699
 Of the

00:50:18.699 --> 00:50:19.000
 Right

00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:19.639
 Path

00:50:19.639 --> 00:50:20.679
 And they have

00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:21.219
 Ended up

00:50:21.219 --> 00:50:21.460
 In a

00:50:21.460 --> 00:50:21.840
 Place

00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:22.420
 Called

00:50:22.420 --> 00:50:23.539
 Doubting

00:50:23.539 --> 00:50:24.219
 Castle

00:50:24.219 --> 00:50:25.539
 And everything

00:50:25.539 --> 00:50:25.940
 In this

00:50:25.940 --> 00:50:26.239
 Book

00:50:26.239 --> 00:50:26.739
 It just

00:50:26.739 --> 00:50:27.300
 Relates

00:50:27.300 --> 00:50:27.900
 To so

00:50:27.900 --> 00:50:28.099
 Many

00:50:28.099 --> 00:50:28.980
 Experiences

00:50:28.980 --> 00:50:29.659
 We have

00:50:29.659 --> 00:50:30.340
 On the

00:50:30.340 --> 00:50:30.840

00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:31.300
 Journey

00:50:31.300 --> 00:50:31.480
 And

00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:32.280
 Christians

00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:32.820
 Will have

00:50:32.820 --> 00:50:33.519
 Doubts

00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:35.199
 There will

00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:35.639
 Be times

00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:35.980
 When we are

00:50:35.980 --> 00:50:36.579
 Afflicted

00:50:36.579 --> 00:50:37.159
 With doubts

00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:38.119
 But what

00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:38.519
 Do we do

00:50:38.519 --> 00:50:38.900
 In these

00:50:38.900 --> 00:50:39.280
 Times

 Well

00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:45.179
 And the

00:50:45.179 --> 00:50:45.559
 Owner of

00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:46.000
 The castle

00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:46.619
 Is called

00:50:46.619 --> 00:50:47.339
 Giant

00:50:47.339 --> 00:50:48.259
 Despair

00:50:48.259 --> 00:50:49.500
 And his

00:50:51.460 --> 00:50:51.759
 Too

00:50:51.759 --> 00:50:52.019
 And they're

 Locked up

00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:53.000

00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:53.859
 And they're

 They're being

 Tortured

00:50:55.659 --> 00:50:56.039
 There

00:50:56.039 --> 00:50:57.480
 And then

00:50:57.480 --> 00:50:58.179
 They turn

00:50:58.179 --> 00:50:59.299
 To God

00:50:59.299 --> 00:51:00.179
 In prayer

00:51:00.179 --> 00:51:01.759
 And as

 Remembers

00:51:04.819 --> 00:51:05.339
 That he was

 Is it

00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:18.179
 Unlocks

00:51:18.179 --> 00:51:19.320
 Every door

00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:20.059
 For them

00:51:20.059 --> 00:51:20.719

00:51:23.699 --> 00:51:24.139
 The right

00:51:24.139 --> 00:51:24.780
 Path

00:51:24.780 --> 00:51:26.519
 Every way

00:51:26.519 --> 00:51:27.739
 Is opened

00:51:27.739 --> 00:51:28.159
 Up

00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:29.800
 And it's

00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:30.079
 Just a

00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:30.659
 Reminder

00:51:30.659 --> 00:51:31.320
 To us

00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:32.019
 That the

00:51:32.019 --> 00:51:32.460
 Lord has

00:51:32.460 --> 00:51:33.079
 Given us

00:51:33.079 --> 00:51:33.759
 Promise

00:51:33.759 --> 00:51:35.139
 Promise

00:51:35.139 --> 00:51:35.759
 That he

00:51:35.759 --> 00:51:36.539
 Will help

00:51:36.539 --> 00:51:37.380
 Promise

00:51:37.380 --> 00:51:37.880
 That he

00:51:37.880 --> 00:51:38.219
 Will be

00:51:38.219 --> 00:51:38.880
 With us

00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:39.820
 And so

00:51:39.820 --> 00:51:40.380
 As we

00:51:40.380 --> 00:51:40.920
 Go through

00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:41.420
 Life

00:51:41.420 --> 00:51:42.179
 As we

00:51:42.179 --> 00:51:42.599
 Go on

00:51:42.599 --> 00:51:42.820
 This

00:51:42.820 --> 00:51:43.340
 Journey

00:51:43.340 --> 00:51:44.440
 And as

00:51:44.440 --> 00:51:44.900
 We take

00:51:44.900 --> 00:51:45.380
 Maybe the

00:51:45.380 --> 00:51:46.119
 Wrong turns

 At different

00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:47.039

00:51:47.039 --> 00:51:47.320
 And as

00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:49.000

 You have

00:51:58.019 --> 00:51:58.300
 This

 We forget

00:52:16.519 --> 00:52:17.320
 The Lord's

00:52:17.320 --> 00:52:17.920
 Marshes
