00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.179
 Well, we can turn back to our reading in the Gospel of Mark, chapter 4.

00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:11.419
 And like I say, we're going to look at the end, verses 35 to the end of the chapter,

00:00:11.419 --> 00:00:18.300
 where we see Jesus with his disciples leaving the place of the where, as it says, going across the other side.

00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:23.260
 They go into the boat and they find themselves in the midst of a storm.

00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.820
 And then they cry out to him in verse 36.

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:30.620
 The disciples, they woke him and said to him,

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.780
 Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?

00:00:34.579 --> 00:00:37.299
 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea,

00:00:37.420 --> 00:00:38.920
 Peace, be still.

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:43.539
 And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

00:00:46.420 --> 00:00:51.740
 Well, we've just had a storm, the first named storm of the year.

00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:59.120
 And because of the way that they now name the storms, and you get a long list of the names of the storms,

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:04.500
 there's always that sense that, well, one's passed, but another one's coming.

00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:07.480
 Storm Amy has passed.

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:12.000
 Then we have Storm Bram, whenever that may come.

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.400
 Then it goes on to Siege and Andra.

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:15.780
 There's that storm.

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:16.820
 They've all got a name.

00:01:16.819 --> 00:01:20.919
 And there's that sense, well, there's always going to be another storm coming.

00:01:20.979 --> 00:01:26.979
 And we know that very well, where we live, that as we go into the winter months, that that is just the case.

00:01:27.699 --> 00:01:33.000
 And when we come into a storm, we can end up with things being in short supply.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:38.259
 If a storm goes on and the ferries don't sail, we find things being in short supply.

00:01:38.399 --> 00:01:43.639
 When you go into the supermarkets, go into the shops, they've run out of different things,

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:49.400
 whether it's fruit and veg or bread and milk, there's things in short supply.

00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:58.159
 But when we think about it in our own situation, it's not just about these storms that come in a physical sense,

00:01:58.579 --> 00:02:01.740
 but the storms that come in life.

00:02:02.379 --> 00:02:04.299
 And there are many of them.

00:02:04.299 --> 00:02:09.259
 And it seems like we go from maybe one storm to the next, to the next.

00:02:09.259 --> 00:02:14.840
 When all our lives just seem to be full of trials and difficulties that come our way,

00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.639
 they can be personal ones when it's just ourselves that are going through them.

00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:21.740
 They can be family ones.

00:02:22.359 --> 00:02:24.500
 They can be trials in our community.

00:02:25.139 --> 00:02:27.019
 They can be trials in our congregation.

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:30.639
 They can be trials in our nation and the world in which we live.

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:41.279
 And we see all kinds of things going on that just leave us feeling that sense of being overwhelmed by the situation that we're in.

00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:47.779
 And when we're in these kinds of storms as well, when they're personal, when they're collective storms,

00:02:48.339 --> 00:02:53.359
 there can be a sense of things lacking in these storms as well.

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.399
 There can be a sense maybe of patience lacking.

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.920
 When we become an impatient people in some of the situations that we find ourselves in.

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:11.759
 And we just have to look at our lives and our congregation, our community, our nation, and the world.

00:03:11.819 --> 00:03:15.060
 And we think of all these different things going on around us.

00:03:15.140 --> 00:03:16.980
 And we're losing patience.

00:03:17.939 --> 00:03:23.800
 We may be, in our personal circumstances, are losing patience with people around us,

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:25.759
 or services around us.

00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.819
 We're losing patience because things don't seem to be going as we would desire.

00:03:31.679 --> 00:03:34.840
 We can be losing patience as a congregation.

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.679
 When we think of the vacancy and the situation there, and we've had that bulletin update today,

00:03:40.780 --> 00:03:43.979
 where there can be a sense of our patience being tested.

00:03:44.459 --> 00:03:45.359
 Where are we going?

00:03:45.459 --> 00:03:46.459
 What's going to happen?

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:48.280
 How are we going to go forward?

00:03:48.699 --> 00:03:51.639
 There can be that sense of patience being lost.

00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:54.539
 It can be in so many different ways.

00:03:54.539 --> 00:03:56.659
 We can lose patience with government.

00:03:56.900 --> 00:03:58.459
 We can lose patience with leaders.

00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:02.719
 We can lose patience with the world in which we live in.

00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:08.399
 But it always takes us to the point where we start to lose patience with God.

00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.620
 We start to lose that trust in God.

00:04:12.939 --> 00:04:15.280
 And that's when it becomes even more dangerous.

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:20.199
 When we start to think that God, as we see with the disciples here crying out,

00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:21.459
 do you not care?

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.040
 And that's the cry that we can have in so many different situations.

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:27.939
 Lord, do you not care?

00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:33.120
 Do you not care what's going on in my life or in our congregation or in our world?

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.319
 Do you not care what's happening?

00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.839
 And then we can lose other things.

00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.459
 We can find other things in short supply as well.

00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.920
 That sense of joy, that sense of peace.

00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:50.680
 They can go and we can lose that sense of these things as well.

00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.659
 When we are in days of testing,

00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.819
 when we are in days when our patience is being tested,

00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.420
 we can lose that joy and that peace.

00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.719
 We don't see things in perspective.

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:09.280
 When we lose sight of the perspective under which we should be looking at things.

00:05:10.060 --> 00:05:14.460
 Because there are other ways of looking at things.

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:20.240
 Besides our own thoughts, beside our own impatience, despite ourselves,

00:05:20.420 --> 00:05:23.020
 there are other ways that we can look at things.

00:05:23.140 --> 00:05:27.960
 And we see that there are two perspectives in this passage that we've read.

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.860
 In this account of Jesus with the disciples in this storm,

00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:38.120
 there's two different perspectives in the very same situation.

00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.460
 And the first perspective we see is that of the disciples.

00:05:43.300 --> 00:05:47.860
 Their perspective in this is that Jesus doesn't care.

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.379
 They have a sense of fear in the midst of the storm.

00:05:53.379 --> 00:05:55.899
 They don't know what's happening.

00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.600
 They don't know where they're going or what's ahead of them.

00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:05.740
 There's this sense of fear because that's their perspective on things.

00:06:06.620 --> 00:06:08.500
 But there's another perspective.

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.980
 And that's the perspective of Jesus.

00:06:12.819 --> 00:06:15.459
 And when you look at Jesus in this passage,

00:06:15.980 --> 00:06:18.759
 even in the midst of the storm, he's sleeping.

00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:25.219
 But in the midst of the storm, he's reminding them that he has power,

00:06:26.019 --> 00:06:31.980
 that he has authority, that he is able to give peace and calm.

00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:37.680
 And that's how we should look at the perspective of our lives as well.

00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:39.939
 Whatever we are going through,

00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:44.920
 when we see things from our own perspective that seems out of control,

00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.720
 no direction, uncertainty, all of these things we can see,

00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:54.300
 well, the Lord has control, that he has power,

00:06:54.840 --> 00:06:57.379
 that he has authority over all things,

00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.240
 that he is able to reveal his will to us

00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.720
 in the midst of everything that comes our way.

00:07:04.540 --> 00:07:06.660
 And a lot has happened for the disciples.

00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.980
 It's been some day for them when you look at this chapter,

00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:13.340
 when they've heard, as we read some of the teaching

00:07:13.339 --> 00:07:14.299
 that they'd been under.

00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.619
 When you see the parable of the growing seed,

00:07:16.719 --> 00:07:18.459
 the parable of the mustard seed,

00:07:18.799 --> 00:07:21.019
 and other things that Jesus had been teaching

00:07:21.019 --> 00:07:23.399
 before we came to this point.

00:07:24.019 --> 00:07:26.219
 They've heard so much from Jesus.

00:07:27.419 --> 00:07:30.479
 They've already seen so much from Jesus.

00:07:30.719 --> 00:07:32.539
 And then it says in verse 35,

00:07:33.059 --> 00:07:36.339
 on that same day, when evening had come,

00:07:36.779 --> 00:07:38.359
 he said to them, let us go.

00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.879
 And so what we see here is that Jesus is with them.

00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.819
 He's reminded them of the significance of his kingdom,

00:07:47.579 --> 00:07:50.439
 a kingdom that is coming, a kingdom that is growing.

00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.439
 And now we're going to see how he reminds them

00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.560
 that it's for them as well,

00:07:56.620 --> 00:07:58.819
 that it's a very personal kingdom,

00:07:59.300 --> 00:08:01.860
 a kingdom when he shows his own,

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.040
 the power and authority that he has.

00:08:05.219 --> 00:08:07.159
 And so as they're caught in this storm,

00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.040
 Jesus challenges them.

00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:12.460
 And that's what he does with us in our own storms as well.

00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:13.720
 He challenges us.

00:08:13.780 --> 00:08:14.840
 And the challenge is this.

00:08:15.760 --> 00:08:19.340
 Do you trust me only when things are going well?

00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:23.840
 Or will you trust me in the storm as well?

00:08:24.700 --> 00:08:28.680
 Will you trust me when things seem out of your control?

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.580
 Will you trust me?

00:08:32.379 --> 00:08:33.560
 That's the challenge.

00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.500
 And there's five things to take from these verses for us to do.

00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:39.639
 We have first, trust.

00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:41.559
 We have trouble.

00:08:42.239 --> 00:08:43.639
 We have tone.

00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:45.359
 We have teaching.

00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:47.000
 And we have turning.

00:08:47.479 --> 00:08:50.519
 I just briefly want to touch on these five things.

00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.619
 Trust, trouble, tone, teaching, and turning.

00:08:55.419 --> 00:08:57.659
 And the first thing we see is trust.

00:08:57.659 --> 00:08:58.100
 Trust.

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:04.199
 And the situation starts in a setting of trust.

00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.419
 What we find is that on this day,

00:09:09.539 --> 00:09:12.059
 as Jesus has been teaching with them,

00:09:12.100 --> 00:09:14.279
 that same day Jesus spoke to them and said,

00:09:14.439 --> 00:09:17.219
 let us go across to the other side.

00:09:18.179 --> 00:09:19.500
 And what do you notice?

00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:22.539
 They don't ask why.

00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.159
 They don't ask where are we going.

00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.480
 They don't ask any details about how.

00:09:30.459 --> 00:09:31.699
 All it says is,

00:09:32.199 --> 00:09:33.120
 leaving the crowd,

00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.939
 they took him with them in the boat,

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:37.779
 just as he was.

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.860
 They left immediately.

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:44.740
 And what you see here is,

00:09:45.439 --> 00:09:47.419
 there was a sense of trust.

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:50.740
 They've only been with Jesus a short time,

00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:53.399
 but they are trusting him.

00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:57.259
 And it's shown just in how they go.

00:09:58.139 --> 00:10:00.340
 And they go immediately.

00:10:01.019 --> 00:10:03.360
 Over the time of following Jesus,

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.299
 seeing what he is doing,

00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:06.860
 the miracles he's performing,

00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:09.419
 the teaching that he is giving them,

00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.399
 why wouldn't things go well now?

00:10:14.579 --> 00:10:15.179
 They're beginning to see,

00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.019
 well, Jesus has a plan.

00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:17.799
 He has a purpose.

00:10:18.340 --> 00:10:20.519
 He's done all these amazing things.

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:21.879
 And it's almost like,

00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:24.059
 well, we're expecting more.

00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:26.159
 They might say,

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.460
 well, it's always going to be like this.

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:30.639
 It's always going to be easy.

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:32.779
 It's always going to go well,

00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:34.879
 because Jesus is with us.

00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:36.439
 It's going to be smooth.

00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:38.379
 It's going to be plain sailing.

00:10:38.379 --> 00:10:42.840
 So there's this element of trust.

00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:45.779
 And so there should be.

00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.799
 There should be an element of trust,

00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:52.779
 because they've seen what he has done.

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:56.220
 But the question that they find themselves here is,

00:10:56.659 --> 00:10:59.139
 but how much do they trust him?

00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.879
 How much are they going to listen to him?

00:11:01.939 --> 00:11:05.200
 How much are they going to keep on trusting?

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.920
 Because you see, trust isn't just for a moment.

00:11:09.180 --> 00:11:12.840
 Trust isn't just for a short time or certain situations.

00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:17.900
 Trust is what we need going forward all the time.

00:11:18.920 --> 00:11:22.040
 As we approach winter once again,

00:11:22.520 --> 00:11:25.620
 one of the things that you'll begin to see on the television again

00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:27.300
 is winter skiing.

00:11:28.460 --> 00:11:30.980
 It's amazing to watch downhill skiing,

00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:33.440
 doing the slalom through all the gates

00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:34.400
 and all of these things.

00:11:34.540 --> 00:11:35.580
 It's amazing to watch

00:11:35.580 --> 00:11:38.720
 and the speed that they get up to.

00:11:39.560 --> 00:11:40.680
 And as I watch it, I think,

00:11:40.780 --> 00:11:41.800
 well, that's not something

00:11:41.800 --> 00:11:44.080
 that I would be very keen on trying myself.

00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:45.480
 It looks quite terrifying.

00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.820
 But imagine doing it when you're blind

00:11:48.820 --> 00:11:50.820
 or only partially sighted.

00:11:51.780 --> 00:11:52.840
 Well, people do.

00:11:53.680 --> 00:11:55.660
 And it's part of the Paralympics now.

00:11:55.740 --> 00:11:57.040
 It's part of sport now,

00:11:57.100 --> 00:11:58.820
 where people with disabilities

00:11:58.820 --> 00:12:00.480
 will do all of these sports.

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.639
 But imagine going down a hill on skis

00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.100
 and you can't see where you're going.

00:12:06.860 --> 00:12:07.960
 How is it possible?

00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:12.580
 Well, what they do is they're paired with someone who can see.

00:12:13.300 --> 00:12:16.440
 And they're trained to ski first on the flat,

00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:19.279
 just learning how to ski and finding their way around.

00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:21.759
 And eventually, they go on the slopes

00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.840
 and they start to do the slalom,

00:12:24.180 --> 00:12:25.720
 going in between the gates.

00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:27.460
 And you ask yourself, but how?

00:12:27.460 --> 00:12:30.460
 Well, it's because the person who's able to see

00:12:30.460 --> 00:12:33.320
 and skiing with them is giving them direction.

00:12:34.420 --> 00:12:35.500
 Turn to your left.

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:36.660
 Turn to your right.

00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.680
 And so it goes on.

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:40.519
 But they have to listen.

00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.180
 They have to trust that person beside them.

00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:49.700
 Because if they don't completely trust,

00:12:50.379 --> 00:12:52.060
 it's going to be catastrophic.

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:54.980
 It's going to end in a crash.

00:12:54.980 --> 00:12:59.580
 And it's a vivid picture of the Christian life in this world.

00:12:59.899 --> 00:13:03.779
 Because the reality is that we cannot see ahead of us

00:13:03.779 --> 00:13:05.220
 everything that's ahead of us.

00:13:05.899 --> 00:13:07.820
 We can only see in part.

00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:10.840
 Spiritually, we're so often blind

00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:14.840
 about what course our lives are going to take,

00:13:15.139 --> 00:13:17.860
 what course we're going to take going forward as a congregation.

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:20.659
 We don't have the eyes to see.

00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.379
 But we have to trust.

00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.800
 We have to trust that there is one with us

00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:29.100
 who promises to give direction,

00:13:29.560 --> 00:13:32.080
 who speaks to us through his word,

00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:34.960
 who reveals himself to us through prayer.

00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.620
 So trust is important.

00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:42.379
 Trust in Jesus is an essential part

00:13:42.379 --> 00:13:45.259
 of any relationship that we are to have with him.

00:13:45.259 --> 00:13:49.980
 A personal relationship, trust him that he will guide.

00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.539
 A collective relationship, trust him that he will guide.

00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:57.500
 We need to trust.

00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:01.580
 So the disciples here, they immediately responded

00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:04.259
 to the call to go over to the other side

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:06.740
 with that sense of trust.

00:14:06.740 --> 00:14:07.139
 Trust.

00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:11.100
 But there's more to trust than just good times.

00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.560
 Trust is something that is often tested

00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:17.120
 and proved in more difficult times.

00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.840
 And that's what we see secondly here.

00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.019
 Because trouble comes.

00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.480
 The disciples were doing as the Lord asked.

00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.039
 And they find themselves in trouble.

00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.860
 And it says that as they went out in the boat

00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:33.480
 and others with them, in verse 37,

00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:36.039
 a great windstorm arose.

00:14:37.199 --> 00:14:39.959
 This storm came quickly.

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.279
 And it's the kind of storm that can happen

00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:44.199
 in these regions.

00:14:45.339 --> 00:14:46.740
 And especially fishermen,

00:14:47.019 --> 00:14:48.620
 and many of the disciples were fishermen,

00:14:48.740 --> 00:14:49.839
 would be aware of this,

00:14:49.939 --> 00:14:52.939
 just how quickly these storms can come.

00:14:52.940 --> 00:14:56.960
 But yet, even they seem to be caught out by this.

00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:00.060
 They don't seem to understand

00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:02.360
 why would Jesus take us out

00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.640
 and this horrendous storm has come.

00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:08.360
 The waves were breaking into the boat

00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.480
 so that the boat was already filling.

00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.980
 The way Jesus has told them to go

00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:17.240
 has led to trouble.

00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:21.000
 And that's so often the reality

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:22.960
 of following Jesus as well.

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.419
 The reality of following Jesus

00:15:25.419 --> 00:15:29.240
 isn't that life is always going to be plain sailing.

00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:32.200
 It's a reality that there are going to be

00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:36.159
 troubles and trials and testing along the way.

00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.639
 How many troubles do we face in life?

00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:44.539
 Health issues, relationships,

00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.039
 personal issues, financial issues.

00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:50.820
 The list is almost endless.

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.940
 We all have these troubles

00:15:54.940 --> 00:15:57.179
 that we have to face up to.

00:15:58.500 --> 00:16:01.440
 But we can learn in these troubles.

00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:06.659
 And that's what the disciples have here as well.

00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.139
 They're not immune from trouble.

00:16:10.059 --> 00:16:11.960
 And none of us are.

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.139
 But God's word is there to help us.

00:16:16.139 --> 00:16:19.220
 And to help us through them all.

00:16:19.819 --> 00:16:21.919
 Through everything that we have to face up to.

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.939
 The Lord promises to be with us.

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:27.960
 James Packer, again quoting from

00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:29.539
 Your Father Loves You, that book.

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:30.919
 He says this,

00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:34.319
 This is the ultimate reason from our standpoint

00:16:34.319 --> 00:16:37.319
 why God fills our lives with troubles

00:16:37.319 --> 00:16:40.659
 and perplexities of one sort and another.

00:16:40.659 --> 00:16:45.259
 It is to ensure that we shall learn to hold him fast.

00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:49.399
 The reason why the Bible spends so much of its time

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.659
 reiterating that God is a strong rock,

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:55.500
 a firm defense, a sure refuge,

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.379
 a help for the weak,

00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.379
 is that God spends so much of his time

00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:02.779
 showing us that we are weak,

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:04.519
 both mentally and morally,

00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.740
 and dare not trust ourselves

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:08.799
 to find or follow the right road.

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:12.900
 And so there he's giving reminders to us.

00:17:13.980 --> 00:17:15.759
 It is to trust God.

00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:16.740
 But then he goes on to say,

00:17:16.779 --> 00:17:19.259
 When we walk along a clear road feeling fine

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:21.420
 and someone takes our arm to help us,

00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:23.839
 it's likely we will just impatiently

00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:25.440
 shake that person off.

00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:29.160
 But when we are caught in the rough country road,

00:17:29.539 --> 00:17:31.940
 in the middle of dark and a storm brewing

00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:33.559
 and our strength spent,

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.360
 and someone takes our arm to help us,

00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:39.340
 we would thankfully lean on him.

00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:44.279
 And God wants us to feel that our way

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:48.320
 through life is rough and perplexing

00:17:48.320 --> 00:17:53.160
 so that we may learn to thankfully lean on him.

00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:55.279
 And he says,

00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:57.420
 Wait on the Lord.

00:17:57.420 --> 00:18:00.080
 That's so often the advice

00:18:00.080 --> 00:18:02.100
 that the Lord gives in his word.

00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.480
 Wait on the Lord.

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:07.340
 So in the midst of our trouble,

00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.860
 we have the Lord to lean on.

00:18:11.840 --> 00:18:15.140
 The third thing we see here is the tone.

00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:18.660
 How do the disciples react

00:18:18.660 --> 00:18:19.700
 when they are afraid?

00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:22.000
 What do they say?

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:23.860
 The boat is filling,

00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:25.080
 it's being overwhelmed,

00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.720
 but Jesus is in the stern,

00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:29.000
 asleep on the cushion.

00:18:29.740 --> 00:18:31.779
 And they woke him and said to him,

00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:32.460
 Teacher,

00:18:33.299 --> 00:18:34.619
 do you not care

00:18:34.619 --> 00:18:36.379
 that we are perishing?

00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:39.099
 Do you not care

00:18:39.099 --> 00:18:40.679
 that we are perishing?

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:41.699
 Look at the tone

00:18:41.699 --> 00:18:43.119
 in these words.

00:18:43.399 --> 00:18:44.519
 You can sense it.

00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:47.220
 There's frustration

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:48.559
 in these words.

00:18:48.699 --> 00:18:49.439
 There's fear

00:18:49.439 --> 00:18:50.679
 in these words.

00:18:50.819 --> 00:18:51.559
 There's doubt

00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:52.819
 in these words.

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:54.139
 Do you not care

00:18:54.139 --> 00:18:55.839
 that we are perishing?

00:18:56.879 --> 00:18:58.000
 If we are drowning,

00:18:59.639 --> 00:19:00.659
 there are times

00:19:00.659 --> 00:19:01.779
 in trouble

00:19:01.779 --> 00:19:03.159
 when we can turn to God

00:19:03.159 --> 00:19:03.899
 in this way

00:19:03.899 --> 00:19:05.200
 and we can have that tone

00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:06.259
 of anger

00:19:06.259 --> 00:19:07.700
 towards God.

00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:09.299
 Whatever it is,

00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:10.720
 we can turn in frustration

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:11.099
 and say,

00:19:11.439 --> 00:19:11.740
 Lord,

00:19:11.919 --> 00:19:13.000
 do you not care

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:13.899
 where we are going?

00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:15.720
 Do you not care

00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:17.279
 what's happening to us?

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:20.460
 As a congregation,

00:19:20.460 --> 00:19:21.880
 do you not want us

00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:23.180
 to grow and to flourish?

00:19:23.259 --> 00:19:23.700
 Do you not want us

00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:25.240
 to have another minister

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:25.680
 come in?

00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:26.460
 We can cry out

00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:28.019
 in all kinds of frustration.

00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:32.840
 But it's to wait

00:19:32.840 --> 00:19:33.460
 on the Lord.

00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:35.779
 It's through personally.

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:36.980
 It's through collectively.

00:19:37.259 --> 00:19:37.620
 It's through

00:19:37.620 --> 00:19:39.579
 in all aspects of life.

00:19:39.840 --> 00:19:41.160
 The Lord has a plan.

00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:43.059
 But our cry

00:19:43.059 --> 00:19:43.860
 is so often

00:19:43.860 --> 00:19:44.460
 frustration.

00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:46.680
 It can be frustration

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.700
 towards God.

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:49.140
 It can be frustration

00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:50.200
 towards others,

00:19:50.320 --> 00:19:51.720
 how we speak to others.

00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:54.720
 Our tone can be off.

00:19:55.520 --> 00:19:56.360
 Our frustration

00:19:56.360 --> 00:19:57.240
 can be vented

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:59.440
 in so many different ways.

00:20:00.660 --> 00:20:01.220
 You see,

00:20:01.660 --> 00:20:02.800
 we are sinners.

00:20:04.320 --> 00:20:05.220
 The disciples

00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:06.640
 are sinners.

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:09.600
 And they are crying out

00:20:09.600 --> 00:20:10.520
 in their frustration,

00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:11.200
 Teacher,

00:20:11.380 --> 00:20:12.360
 do you not care

00:20:12.360 --> 00:20:13.860
 that we are perishing?

00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:16.060
 And so can we

00:20:16.060 --> 00:20:16.900
 do that as well

00:20:16.900 --> 00:20:17.740
 because sin

00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:19.019
 robs us

00:20:19.019 --> 00:20:20.140
 of peace?

00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:23.360
 We can lose

00:20:23.360 --> 00:20:24.040
 that peace

00:20:24.040 --> 00:20:24.500
 and we are just

00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:25.300
 looking at it

00:20:25.300 --> 00:20:26.700
 from our perspective.

00:20:27.620 --> 00:20:28.680
 As you drive,

00:20:28.840 --> 00:20:29.620
 especially on the mainland

00:20:29.620 --> 00:20:30.240
 or more so

00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:30.780
 on the mainland,

00:20:31.300 --> 00:20:31.980
 when you are driving

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:32.759
 on busy roads

00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:33.960
 and you see signs

00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:35.860
 at the side

00:20:35.860 --> 00:20:36.200
 of the road

00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:37.019
 or above the road

00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:37.900
 if you are on the motorway,

00:20:38.320 --> 00:20:39.280
 one of the most common

00:20:39.280 --> 00:20:40.100
 ones you see

00:20:40.100 --> 00:20:41.360
 is frustration

00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:43.040
 causes accidents.

00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.619
 And it's true.

00:20:46.099 --> 00:20:46.819
 When you become

00:20:46.819 --> 00:20:47.879
 frustrated

00:20:47.879 --> 00:20:48.759
 and impatient

00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:50.079
 and try to overtake

00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:51.019
 in the wrong place

00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:52.319
 or do a manoeuvre,

00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:54.240
 it causes accidents.

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:56.559
 And frustration

00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:57.279
 in life

00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:58.740
 causes so many

00:20:58.740 --> 00:20:59.500
 problems

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:00.639
 as well.

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.399
 They have done

00:21:04.399 --> 00:21:05.000
 what Jesus

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:05.859
 told them

00:21:05.859 --> 00:21:07.139
 and this is

00:21:07.139 --> 00:21:08.000
 where they end up

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:08.980
 and they cry out

00:21:08.980 --> 00:21:10.460
 in frustration.

00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:11.420
 Teacher,

00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:13.079
 do you not care

00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:14.620
 that we are perishing?

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:16.920
 And you see the tone.

00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.019
 It's like Psalm 107

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:20.360
 when the sailors,

00:21:20.579 --> 00:21:21.880
 they cry out

00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:22.360
 in the midst

00:21:22.360 --> 00:21:22.920
 of the storm.

00:21:23.019 --> 00:21:23.700
 They cry out

00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:24.620
 in their fear.

00:21:26.100 --> 00:21:26.779
 The tone

00:21:26.779 --> 00:21:27.600
 can be there

00:21:27.600 --> 00:21:29.480
 and it can be

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:30.539
 an off tone.

00:21:32.299 --> 00:21:33.620
 Let us be careful

00:21:33.620 --> 00:21:35.240
 how we address God

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:36.000
 and how we address

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:36.600
 one another

00:21:36.600 --> 00:21:37.620
 in the midst

00:21:37.620 --> 00:21:38.960
 of our frustrations,

00:21:39.120 --> 00:21:39.519
 whatever

00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:41.019
 they might be.

00:21:42.259 --> 00:21:43.180
 But then we see

00:21:43.180 --> 00:21:43.859
 fourthly

00:21:43.859 --> 00:21:44.960
 there is teaching

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.700
 here.

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:47.559
 What teaching

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.400
 do we have here

00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:49.859
 as Jesus rebukes

00:21:49.859 --> 00:21:50.819
 the wind

00:21:50.819 --> 00:21:51.700
 and the waves?

00:21:52.700 --> 00:21:53.740
 It says in verse 39

00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:54.440
 he awoke

00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:55.599
 and rebuked

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:56.240
 the wind

00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:56.960
 and the sea

00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:57.900
 and said

00:21:57.900 --> 00:21:58.480
 peace

00:21:58.480 --> 00:21:59.759
 be still

00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:00.200
 and the wind

00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:00.700
 ceased

00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:01.039
 and there was

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:01.660
 a great

00:22:01.660 --> 00:22:02.599
 calm.

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.420
 Well Jesus

00:22:06.420 --> 00:22:07.480
 here is teaching.

00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:09.319
 He's teaching

00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:09.539
 them

00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:10.559
 trust me

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.120
 in the storms

00:22:12.120 --> 00:22:12.740
 as well.

00:22:14.740 --> 00:22:15.880
 Who is this

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:16.960
 is the cry

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:17.900
 that they come to

00:22:17.900 --> 00:22:19.740
 and who is it?

00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:21.200
 It is the Lord.

00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.579
 It is God

00:22:22.579 --> 00:22:24.160
 that is with them.

00:22:24.819 --> 00:22:25.640
 The storm

00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:27.140
 is changed

00:22:27.140 --> 00:22:28.099
 into a calm

00:22:28.099 --> 00:22:28.960
 by his word.

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:31.660
 That's the power

00:22:31.660 --> 00:22:33.019
 that he has.

00:22:33.099 --> 00:22:33.740
 Now when we see

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:34.339
 a storm

00:22:34.339 --> 00:22:35.079
 around us

00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:36.079
 the sea

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:36.619
 doesn't just

00:22:36.619 --> 00:22:37.220
 immediately

00:22:37.220 --> 00:22:38.159
 go calm.

00:22:39.199 --> 00:22:39.960
 It can take

00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:41.159
 hours and days

00:22:41.159 --> 00:22:42.139
 for the sea

00:22:42.139 --> 00:22:43.059
 to settle down

00:22:43.059 --> 00:22:43.720
 once again

00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:45.159
 but here

00:22:45.159 --> 00:22:45.980
 it's instant.

00:22:47.179 --> 00:22:48.199
 Just at his

00:22:48.199 --> 00:22:48.759
 word

00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:50.240
 there is peace

00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:52.119
 there is calm.

00:22:53.699 --> 00:22:54.299
 And that's the

00:22:54.299 --> 00:22:54.679
 teaching

00:22:54.679 --> 00:22:55.579
 that we would

00:22:55.579 --> 00:22:56.299
 want to take

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:56.779
 from this

00:22:56.779 --> 00:22:57.379
 as well.

00:22:58.339 --> 00:22:59.359
 That we can

00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:00.419
 trust God

00:23:00.419 --> 00:23:01.759
 to change

00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:03.019
 the storms

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:03.920
 that we face

00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:04.960
 and to give

00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:06.379
 us calm

00:23:06.379 --> 00:23:08.480
 because he

00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:09.180
 is God.

00:23:10.579 --> 00:23:11.819
 He is God

00:23:11.819 --> 00:23:13.240
 who is able.

00:23:14.639 --> 00:23:15.200
 As someone

00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:15.980
 said once

00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:16.519
 to realise

00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:17.039
 the worth

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.720
 of an anchor

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:18.700
 you need

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:19.400
 to feel

00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:20.660
 the storm.

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:22.700
 And whatever

00:23:22.700 --> 00:23:24.160
 storm we face

00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:25.559
 whatever

00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:26.400
 comes

00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:26.980
 our way

00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:27.480
 and whatever

00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:29.220
 way and shape

00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:29.900
 it feels

00:23:29.900 --> 00:23:30.360
 like it's

00:23:30.360 --> 00:23:31.240
 overwhelming

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:31.920
 us.

00:23:33.300 --> 00:23:33.860
 Jesus

00:23:33.860 --> 00:23:34.840
 is able

00:23:34.840 --> 00:23:36.160
 to calm.

00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:38.940
 He is able

00:23:38.940 --> 00:23:39.940
 to say

00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:40.700
 these words

00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:41.300
 peace

00:23:41.300 --> 00:23:42.960
 be still.

00:23:44.360 --> 00:23:45.380
 He has

00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:46.160
 control.

00:23:47.900 --> 00:23:48.240
 There's a

00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:48.519
 poem

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.640
 My Father's

00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:50.120
 at the

00:23:50.120 --> 00:23:50.540
 Helm.

00:23:51.300 --> 00:23:51.920
 It comes

00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:52.340
 in maybe

00:23:52.340 --> 00:23:54.019
 different forms

00:23:54.019 --> 00:23:54.620
 but this is

00:23:54.620 --> 00:23:54.960
 one.

00:23:55.800 --> 00:23:56.440
 It's talking

00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:56.880
 about a

00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:57.080
 little

00:23:57.080 --> 00:23:57.720
 bark

00:23:57.720 --> 00:23:58.220
 so that's

00:23:58.220 --> 00:23:58.559
 a little

00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:59.039
 boat.

00:23:59.259 --> 00:23:59.759
 The curling

00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:00.279
 waves

00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:01.059
 with awful

00:24:01.059 --> 00:24:01.420
 roar

00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:01.839
 a little

00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:02.339
 bark

00:24:02.339 --> 00:24:03.019
 assailed

00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:04.059
 and pallid

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:04.559
 fears

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.360
 distracting

00:24:05.360 --> 00:24:05.860
 power

00:24:05.860 --> 00:24:06.539
 over all

00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:07.079
 on board

00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:07.779
 prevailed.

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:09.120
 Save one

00:24:09.120 --> 00:24:10.160
 the captain's

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:10.519
 darling

00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:11.079
 child

00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:11.740
 who

00:24:11.740 --> 00:24:12.200
 fearless

00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:12.600
 viewed

00:24:12.600 --> 00:24:13.299
 the storm

00:24:13.299 --> 00:24:14.519
 and cheerful

00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:15.700
 with composure

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:16.339
 smiled

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:17.079
 a dangerous

00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:17.660
 threatening

00:24:17.660 --> 00:24:18.200
 form.

00:24:19.600 --> 00:24:20.039
 And can

00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:20.640
 you smile

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:21.200
 a semen

00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:21.700
 cried

00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:21.960
 while

00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:22.559
 terrors

00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:23.039
 overwhelmed.

00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:24.579
 Why should

00:24:24.579 --> 00:24:25.079
 I fear

00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:25.620
 the boy

00:24:25.620 --> 00:24:26.500
 replied

00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:27.359
 my father's

00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:27.779
 at the

00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:28.099
 helm

00:24:28.099 --> 00:24:29.380
 so when

00:24:29.380 --> 00:24:29.980
 our worldly

00:24:29.980 --> 00:24:30.700
 hopes are

00:24:30.700 --> 00:24:31.140
 crushed

00:24:31.140 --> 00:24:31.720
 our earthly

00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:32.460
 comfort's

00:24:32.460 --> 00:24:32.759
 gone

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:34.079
 we still

00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:34.680
 have one

00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:35.059
 sure

00:24:35.059 --> 00:24:35.500
 anchor

00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:36.019
 left

00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:37.000
 God

00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:37.599
 helps

00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:38.779
 and he

00:24:38.779 --> 00:24:39.200
 alone.

00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:41.480
 We will

00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:42.579
 have storms

00:24:42.579 --> 00:24:44.779
 when things

00:24:44.779 --> 00:24:45.460
 seem to be

00:24:45.460 --> 00:24:46.339
 out of our

00:24:46.339 --> 00:24:47.119
 control

00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:48.680
 but we have

00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:49.400
 that anchor

00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:51.059
 God's

00:24:51.059 --> 00:24:51.579
 help

00:24:51.579 --> 00:24:53.380
 and he

00:24:53.380 --> 00:24:53.799
 alone

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:55.019
 can help.

00:24:56.500 --> 00:24:58.440
 So finally

00:24:58.440 --> 00:24:58.839
 we just

00:24:58.839 --> 00:24:59.099
 want to

00:24:59.099 --> 00:24:59.339
 see in

00:24:59.339 --> 00:24:59.599
 the midst

00:24:59.599 --> 00:24:59.839
 of the

00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:00.319
 teaching

00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:00.880
 there's

00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:01.579
 a turning

00:25:01.579 --> 00:25:03.539
 there's a

00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:04.059
 turning as

00:25:04.059 --> 00:25:04.440
 we see

00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:04.740
 at the

00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:05.059
 end.

00:25:05.779 --> 00:25:06.119
 He said

00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:06.359
 to them

00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:06.660
 in verse

00:25:06.660 --> 00:25:07.019
 40

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:08.000
 why are

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:08.740
 you so

00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:09.759
 afraid

00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:10.160
 have you

00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:10.819
 still

00:25:10.819 --> 00:25:11.559
 no

00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:12.099
 faith

00:25:12.099 --> 00:25:15.019
 but then

00:25:15.019 --> 00:25:15.619
 they said

00:25:15.619 --> 00:25:16.880
 who then

00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:17.680
 is this

00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:19.000
 that even

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:19.700
 the wind

00:25:19.700 --> 00:25:20.400
 and sea

00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:21.019
 obey him

00:25:21.019 --> 00:25:23.859
 have you

00:25:23.859 --> 00:25:24.420
 still

00:25:24.420 --> 00:25:25.319
 no

00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:25.819
 faith

00:25:25.819 --> 00:25:27.319
 it can

00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:27.779
 be easy

00:25:27.779 --> 00:25:28.599
 to come

00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:29.859
 and trust

00:25:29.859 --> 00:25:30.319
 Jesus

00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:31.139
 when things

00:25:31.139 --> 00:25:32.139
 are going

00:25:32.139 --> 00:25:32.539
 well

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:34.480
 and we

00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:34.939
 might be

00:25:34.939 --> 00:25:35.460
 interested

00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:36.079
 in coming

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:36.659
 to know

00:25:36.659 --> 00:25:37.059
 Jesus

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:37.439
 and to

00:25:37.439 --> 00:25:37.759
 follow

00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:38.159
 Jesus

00:25:38.159 --> 00:25:38.599
 and think

00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:40.019
 even as

00:25:40.019 --> 00:25:40.379
 we're going

00:25:40.379 --> 00:25:40.879
 through this

00:25:40.879 --> 00:25:41.579
 well if I

00:25:41.579 --> 00:25:42.379
 trust Jesus

00:25:42.379 --> 00:25:43.000
 he's going

00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:43.240
 to give

00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:44.279
 me peace

00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:44.740
 and everything

00:25:44.740 --> 00:25:44.960
 is going

00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:45.139
 to be

00:25:45.139 --> 00:25:45.579
 great

00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:45.980
 again

00:25:45.980 --> 00:25:47.000
 but he

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:47.359
 can give

00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:47.839
 peace

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:48.099
 but it

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:48.279
 doesn't

00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:48.519
 mean that

00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:49.259
 the storm

00:25:49.259 --> 00:25:50.279
 always

00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:50.939
 goes

00:25:50.939 --> 00:25:53.159
 sometimes

00:25:53.159 --> 00:25:53.619
 he just

00:25:53.619 --> 00:25:53.859
 gives

00:25:53.859 --> 00:25:54.439
 peace

00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:55.299
 for the

00:25:55.299 --> 00:25:55.700
 storm

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:58.180
 but we

00:25:58.180 --> 00:25:58.820
 can see

00:25:58.820 --> 00:25:59.799
 that he

00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:00.299
 is with

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:00.740
 us

00:26:00.740 --> 00:26:02.039
 and that

00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:02.380
 he is

00:26:02.380 --> 00:26:02.740
 able

00:26:02.740 --> 00:26:03.980
 to help

00:26:03.980 --> 00:26:05.680
 when we

00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:06.559
 are entrusting

00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:07.180
 ourselves

00:26:07.180 --> 00:26:07.940
 to him

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:08.960
 and his

00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:09.680
 plans

00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:10.559
 and his

00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:11.180
 purposes

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:11.840
 and his

00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:12.220
 will

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:13.400
 he can

00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:13.779
 give us

00:26:13.779 --> 00:26:14.400
 peace

00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:15.360
 in it

00:26:15.360 --> 00:26:15.759
 all

00:26:17.580 --> 00:26:18.019
 Andrew

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:18.320
 Murray

00:26:18.320 --> 00:26:19.400
 he once

00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:20.080
 wrote this

00:26:20.080 --> 00:26:21.019
 and he's

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:21.720
 talking about

00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:23.000
 times of

00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:23.680
 trial and

00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:24.140
 testing

00:26:24.140 --> 00:26:25.319
 he said

00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:25.779
 first

00:26:25.779 --> 00:26:27.099
 he brought

00:26:27.099 --> 00:26:27.740

00:26:27.740 --> 00:26:29.079
 it is

00:26:29.779 --> 00:26:30.119

00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:31.779
 straight

00:26:31.779 --> 00:26:32.319
 place

00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:33.160
 in that

00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:33.599
 fact

00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:33.980

 keep me

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:38.319

00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:38.619
 in his

00:26:38.619 --> 00:26:38.980
 love

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:40.000
 and give

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:40.559
 me grace

00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:41.200
 to behave

00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:41.680
 as his

00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:42.220
 child

00:26:42.220 --> 00:26:44.079

00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:44.640

00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:45.039
 make the

00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:45.519
 trial

00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:46.680
 a blessing

00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:48.559
 the lessons

00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:53.559
 to bestow

00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:55.240
 last

00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:03.720
 let me

00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:04.180
 say I

00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:04.720
 am here

00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:05.200
 he said

00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:06.319
 by God's

00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:06.960

00:27:15.859 --> 00:27:16.339
 today

00:27:16.339 --> 00:27:17.659
 whatever

00:27:17.659 --> 00:27:18.859
 our circumstances

00:27:18.859 --> 00:27:19.299
 whether we're

00:27:19.299 --> 00:27:19.639

 it as their

00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:01.320
 lives would

00:28:01.320 --> 00:28:01.800
 go on

00:28:01.800 --> 00:28:02.420
 to see

00:28:02.420 --> 00:28:03.460
 that they

00:28:03.460 --> 00:28:03.860
 wouldn't just

00:28:03.860 --> 00:28:04.300
 answer

00:28:04.300 --> 00:28:05.180
 who is

00:28:05.180 --> 00:28:05.660
 this

00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:06.800
 that even

00:28:06.800 --> 00:28:07.380
 the wind

00:28:07.380 --> 00:28:07.640
 and the

00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:07.980
 waves

00:28:07.980 --> 00:28:08.580
 obey him

00:28:08.580 --> 00:28:09.940
 but that

00:28:09.940 --> 00:28:10.200
 they would

00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:10.640
 see

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:12.060
 this is

00:28:12.060 --> 00:28:12.340
 the

00:28:12.340 --> 00:28:12.940
 Christ

00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:15.320
 that's

00:28:15.320 --> 00:28:15.539
 what they

00:28:15.539 --> 00:28:16.019
 would come

00:28:16.019 --> 00:28:16.799
 to recognize

00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:17.660
 as life

00:28:17.660 --> 00:28:18.240
 goes on

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:18.820
 for them

00:28:18.820 --> 00:28:19.660
 they would

00:28:19.660 --> 00:28:20.299
 see this

00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:20.900
 is the

00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:21.360
 Christ

00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:22.600
 the one

00:28:22.600 --> 00:28:23.779
 who gave

00:28:23.779 --> 00:28:24.539
 his life

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:25.240
 for his

00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:25.720
 church

00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:26.180
 for his

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:26.740
 people

00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:28.160
 and they

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:28.880
 would see

00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:29.860
 and glorify

00:28:29.860 --> 00:28:30.279
 him

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:31.240
 all the

00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:31.480
 more

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:31.860
 does he

00:28:31.860 --> 00:28:32.299
 care

00:28:32.299 --> 00:28:33.900
 of course

00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:34.480
 he does

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:36.400
 more

00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:36.680
 than they

00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:36.860
 would

00:28:36.860 --> 00:28:37.460
 ever

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:38.200
 recognize

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:38.680
 fully

00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:40.180
 until that

00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:40.599
 point

00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:40.880
 where they

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:41.400
 would see

00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:41.640
 him on

00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:42.279
 the cross

00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:43.839
 and see

00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:44.339
 him risen

00:28:44.339 --> 00:28:45.200
 from the

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.500
 grave

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:46.140
 who is

00:28:46.140 --> 00:28:46.620
 this

00:28:46.620 --> 00:28:48.440
 it is

00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:48.640
 the

00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:49.039
 Lord

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:51.400
 and it's

00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:51.900
 the Lord

00:28:51.900 --> 00:28:52.900
 who is

00:28:52.900 --> 00:28:53.640
 with us

00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:55.779
 we might

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:56.279
 not see

00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:56.880
 him fully

00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:57.500
 when we

00:28:57.500 --> 00:28:58.160
 think just

00:28:58.160 --> 00:28:58.539
 of the

00:28:58.539 --> 00:28:59.180
 perspective

00:28:59.180 --> 00:28:59.640
 of our

00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:00.120
 trials

00:29:00.120 --> 00:29:00.500
 whatever

00:29:00.500 --> 00:29:01.059
 they are

00:29:01.059 --> 00:29:02.860
 but by

00:29:02.860 --> 00:29:03.420
 faith

00:29:03.420 --> 00:29:03.779
 we can

00:29:03.779 --> 00:29:04.319
 see him

00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:04.779
 fully

00:29:04.779 --> 00:29:06.139
 who is

00:29:06.139 --> 00:29:06.419
 it that

00:29:06.419 --> 00:29:06.819
 is with

00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:07.240
 us

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:08.619
 it is

00:29:08.619 --> 00:29:08.839
 the

00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:09.259
 Lord

00:29:09.259 --> 00:29:10.639
 and as

00:29:10.639 --> 00:29:11.359
 we trust

00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:11.839
 him

00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:13.859
 and know

00:29:13.859 --> 00:29:14.299
 that he

00:29:14.299 --> 00:29:14.740
 is with

00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:15.159
 us

00:29:15.159 --> 00:29:16.079
 and as

00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:16.679
 we rest

00:29:16.679 --> 00:29:17.240
 in his

00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:17.659
 will

00:29:17.659 --> 00:29:18.740
 as we

00:29:18.740 --> 00:29:19.159
 rest

00:29:19.159 --> 00:29:19.519
 under

00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:19.859
 his

00:29:19.859 --> 00:29:20.379
 love

00:29:20.379 --> 00:29:21.200
 as we

00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:21.659
 seek

00:29:21.659 --> 00:29:21.939
 his

00:29:21.939 --> 00:29:22.579
 teaching

00:29:22.579 --> 00:29:22.859
 and

00:29:22.859 --> 00:29:23.480
 guidance

00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:24.960
 he is

00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:25.539
 the one

00:29:25.539 --> 00:29:26.619
 who will

00:29:26.619 --> 00:29:27.099
 bring us

00:29:27.099 --> 00:29:27.439
 through

00:29:27.439 --> 00:29:29.379
 may we

00:29:29.379 --> 00:29:29.859
 find

00:29:29.859 --> 00:29:31.059
 that joy

00:29:31.059 --> 00:29:32.279
 and peace

00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:32.960
 in him

00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:33.619
 let us

00:29:33.619 --> 00:29:33.919
 pray

00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:37.500
 Lord

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:37.740
 our

00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:38.179
 gracious

00:29:38.179 --> 00:29:38.619
 God

00:29:38.619 --> 00:29:38.919
 we do

00:29:38.919 --> 00:29:39.480
 thank you

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:39.819
 that you

00:29:39.819 --> 00:29:40.299
 are one

00:29:40.299 --> 00:29:40.740
 who is

00:29:40.740 --> 00:29:41.259
 able to

00:29:41.259 --> 00:29:41.639
 turn

00:29:41.639 --> 00:29:42.579
 every

00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:43.399
 providence

00:29:43.399 --> 00:29:44.259
 for your

00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:44.720
 glory

00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:45.700
 the things

00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:46.000
 that we

00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:46.339
 cannot

00:29:46.339 --> 00:29:47.240
 understand

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:47.759
 the things

00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.359
 that seem

00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:49.679
 beyond our

00:29:49.679 --> 00:29:50.539
 comprehension

00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:51.419
 we thank you

00:29:51.419 --> 00:29:51.899
 that you

00:29:51.899 --> 00:29:53.079
 already have

00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:53.879
 plans and

00:29:53.879 --> 00:29:54.439
 purposes

00:29:54.439 --> 00:29:55.200
 and so we

00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:55.700
 seek

00:29:55.700 --> 00:29:56.819
 your will

00:29:56.819 --> 00:29:57.379
 be done

00:29:57.379 --> 00:29:58.119
 that you

00:29:58.119 --> 00:29:58.619
 would guard

00:29:58.619 --> 00:29:59.500
 us by your

00:29:59.500 --> 00:29:59.839
 love

00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:00.399
 by your

00:30:00.399 --> 00:30:00.859
 peace

00:30:00.859 --> 00:30:01.139
 that you

00:30:01.139 --> 00:30:01.759
 would keep

00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:02.819
 us by

00:30:02.819 --> 00:30:03.200
 your

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:03.859
 spirit

00:30:03.859 --> 00:30:04.140
 and that

00:30:04.140 --> 00:30:04.400
 you would

00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:05.259
 assure us

00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:06.279
 of guiding

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:06.720
 us and

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:07.480
 keeping us

00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:08.000
 on the

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:08.279
 way

00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:09.299
 we ask

00:30:09.299 --> 00:30:09.879
 all for

00:30:09.879 --> 00:30:10.339
 the glory

00:30:10.339 --> 00:30:10.740
 of our

00:30:10.740 --> 00:30:11.299
 Lord and

00:30:11.299 --> 00:30:11.759
 Saviour

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.539
 amen

00:30:12.539 --> 00:30:15.940
 we're going

00:30:15.940 --> 00:30:16.839
 to conclude

00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:17.519
 by singing

00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:18.359
 to God's

00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:18.859
 praise in

00:30:18.859 --> 00:30:20.099
 psalm 27

00:30:20.099 --> 00:30:22.660
 page 32

00:30:22.660 --> 00:30:23.039
 of the

00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:23.619
 psalm books

00:30:23.619 --> 00:30:26.640
 psalm 27

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:27.099
 we'll sing

00:30:27.099 --> 00:30:27.559
 from verse

00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:29.440
 11 to the

00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:29.960
 end of the

00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:30.940
 psalm

00:30:30.940 --> 00:30:34.620
 teach me

00:30:34.620 --> 00:30:35.039
 O Lord

00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:35.460
 how I

00:30:35.460 --> 00:30:36.039
 should live

00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:36.500
 and lead

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:37.160
 me in

00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:37.620
 your way

00:30:37.620 --> 00:30:38.259
 make straight

00:30:38.259 --> 00:30:38.880
 my path

00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:39.620
 because my

00:30:39.620 --> 00:30:40.160
 foes

00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:41.460
 oppress me

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:42.120
 every day

00:30:42.120 --> 00:30:43.120
 and then you

00:30:43.120 --> 00:30:43.460
 have this

00:30:43.460 --> 00:30:44.440
 confidence at

00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:44.880
 the end of

00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:45.360
 the psalm

00:30:45.360 --> 00:30:45.759

00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:46.299

00:30:46.299 --> 00:30:47.559
 yet I am

00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:48.299
 sure that

00:30:48.299 --> 00:30:48.820
 in this

00:30:48.820 --> 00:30:49.240
 life

00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:49.920
 God's

00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:50.259
 goodness

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:51.220
 I will

00:30:51.220 --> 00:30:51.680
 see

00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:51.940
 and in

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:52.160
 this

00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:52.580
 command

00:30:52.580 --> 00:30:53.680
 wait for

00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:54.180
 the Lord

00:30:54.180 --> 00:30:55.240
 be strong

00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:56.080
 take heart

00:30:56.080 --> 00:30:57.080
 for him

00:30:57.080 --> 00:30:58.500
 wait patiently

00:30:58.500 --> 00:30:59.100
 we'll sing

00:30:59.100 --> 00:31:00.019
 verse 11 to

00:31:00.019 --> 00:31:00.440
 the end of

00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:01.000
 the psalm

00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:01.920
 to God's

00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:02.400
 praise

00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:09.400
 teach me

00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:12.340
 O Lord

00:31:12.340 --> 00:31:14.840
 how I

00:31:14.840 --> 00:31:16.940
 should live

00:31:16.940 --> 00:31:19.840
 and lead

00:31:19.840 --> 00:31:22.080
 me in

00:31:22.080 --> 00:31:24.780
 your way

00:31:24.780 --> 00:31:27.560
 make straight

00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:29.559
 my path

00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:33.099
 because my

00:31:33.099 --> 00:31:34.240
 foes

00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.000
 oppress me

00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:42.339
 every day

00:31:42.339 --> 00:31:44.879
 give me

00:31:44.879 --> 00:31:48.079
 not over

00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.039
 to the

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:52.159
 will

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:54.160
 of the

00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:54.160


00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.160
 enemies

00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.160
 for

00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:03.160
 liars

00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:04.160
 rise

00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:05.160
 to

00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:07.160
 slander

00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:09.160
 me

00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:10.160
 and

00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:11.160
 plead

00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:13.160
 thy

00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:16.160
 cruelties

00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:18.160
 yet

00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:19.160
 yet

00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:20.160
 I

00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:21.160
 am

00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:22.160
 sure

00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:23.160
 that

00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.160
 in

00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:26.160
 this

00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:27.160
 life

00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:28.160
 God's

00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.160
 goodness

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:32.160
 I

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:33.160
 will

00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:34.160
 see

00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:36.160
 wait

00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:37.160
 for

00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:38.160
 the

00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:40.160
 lark

00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:41.160
 be

00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:42.160
 strong

00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:44.160
 take

00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:45.160
 heart

00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.160
 forever

00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:49.160
 with

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.160
 patiently

00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:55.160
 after the

00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:56.100
 benediction

00:32:56.100 --> 00:32:57.200
 I'll go to the main door

00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:58.420
 we'll close with the benediction

00:32:58.420 --> 00:33:00.060
 now may grace

00:33:00.060 --> 00:33:01.279
 mercy and peace

00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:02.080
 from God

00:33:02.080 --> 00:33:02.840
 Father

00:33:02.840 --> 00:33:03.279
 Son

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:04.300
 and Holy Spirit

00:33:04.300 --> 00:33:05.240
 rest upon

00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:06.660
 and abide with you all

00:33:06.660 --> 00:33:08.220
 now and forevermore

00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:10.220
 Amen
