00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.580
 Well, we're going to begin our worship by singing to God's praise.

00:00:03.580 --> 00:00:11.240
 We're going to sing in Psalm 84, the Scottish Psalter version, Psalm 84.

00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:19.820
! We're going to sing from verse 1 to verse 6.

00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:19.879
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:41.179
 We'll sing from verse 1 to 6, and we stand to sing to God's praise.

00:00:41.179 --> 00:00:58.179
 O Lord, I'll host to thee,

00:00:58.179 --> 00:01:05.260
 The tabernacles of thy grace,

00:01:05.579 --> 00:01:10.180
 How pleasant are they me?

00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:17.180
 My thirsty soul on bitterly,

00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:22.620
 It pains thy course to see.

00:01:22.620 --> 00:01:30.439
 My heavy heart and flesh by air,

00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:36.420
 O living God for thee.

00:01:37.260 --> 00:01:43.760
 If all the sorrow findeth thine,

00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:49.360
 And I'm sent to rest.

00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:56.260
 The swallow also for herself,

00:01:56.260 --> 00:02:01.980
 Hath purchased head and head.

00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:09.079
 In thine old altar's prayer, she say,

00:02:09.079 --> 00:02:14.439
 Her young was born, they bring.

00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:21.599
 O thou almighty Lord of hosts,

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:27.340
 Who art my God and King.

00:02:27.340 --> 00:02:35.340
 Let power be in my house that dwell,

00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:40.919
 They ever give thee grace.

00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:48.079
 Blessed is the one whose strength thine art,

00:02:48.079 --> 00:02:53.739
 In whose heart are thy wings.

00:02:53.739 --> 00:03:00.719
 Who passing thorough make us clear,

00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:06.039
 Then into Jacob wells.

00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:13.099
 The soul of the rain that falleth down,

00:03:13.099 --> 00:03:18.560
 That puteth water fill.

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:19.560
 Amen.

00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:28.520
 We'll bow our heads now in a word of prayer.

00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:29.360
 Let us pray.

00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:33.280
 Lord, our gracious God,

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.280
 We do thank you for this, your day,

00:03:35.420 --> 00:03:36.900
 The day that you have made,

00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.719
 And help us to rejoice and to be glad in it.

00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:42.580
 We thank you that it's a day that reminds us

00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:45.319
 Of the wonder of our risen Saviour,

00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.139
 The one who came into this world,

00:03:48.139 --> 00:03:50.400
 The one whose name was Jesus,

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.620
 Because he came to save his people from their sins.

00:03:54.239 --> 00:03:56.479
 And we thank you that in order to save,

00:03:56.579 --> 00:03:59.439
 He came not just to live in this world,

00:03:59.579 --> 00:04:01.199
 But to give his life,

00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:02.599
 To lay it down,

00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:04.680
 To die for our sins.

00:04:05.139 --> 00:04:07.799
 But we thank you that death had no hold on him,

00:04:08.459 --> 00:04:10.340
 That the grave could not keep him,

00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:15.719
 And that we come today reminded again of the great news

00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:16.959
 That Jesus is risen,

00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:19.000
 That he is alive.

00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.819
 We know we have that message every day,

00:04:21.939 --> 00:04:23.180
 Every Lord's Day,

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:24.439
 On the first day of the week,

00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:25.620
 We are reminded of it.

00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:29.259
 But we are thankful for the significance of this weekend,

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.360
 An Easter weekend,

00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.360
 Where there is our particular focus on Good Friday,

00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.300
 Which may seem a strange name when we think of Jesus dying,

00:04:38.300 --> 00:04:41.259
 And yet it was because it is good news for us.

00:04:41.699 --> 00:04:44.720
 And we think of the Saturday and the silence of that day

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:45.900
 As he lay in the tomb.

00:04:46.020 --> 00:04:48.620
 But then we know that on the first day of the week,

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.340
 The grave was open.

00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:51.800
 He was not there,

00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:52.740
 For he was risen.

00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:54.800
 And so today we thank you

00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.800
 That we come to worship our living, risen Saviour,

00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.240
 Who is Jesus Christ, our Lord.

00:05:00.780 --> 00:05:01.840
 And so we pray, Lord,

00:05:01.900 --> 00:05:03.199
 That you will bless our time,

00:05:03.740 --> 00:05:06.220
 And the word that we look at together today,

00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:07.460
 We thank you for it,

00:05:08.020 --> 00:05:10.220
 And for the blessing that it is to all our hearts,

00:05:10.260 --> 00:05:13.500
 To hear the good news of Jesus.

00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:16.200
 And we pray that together as families,

00:05:16.420 --> 00:05:18.400
 Friends, and visitors here today,

00:05:18.540 --> 00:05:21.060
 That together your spirit will be with us,

00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:23.460
 To guide us and help us in all that we do.

00:05:24.020 --> 00:05:26.480
 We thank you for that desire you put in our hearts,

00:05:26.540 --> 00:05:28.780
 To come and draw near to you.

00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:30.720
 We thank you for our young people,

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.140
 We thank you for all present here today,

00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:35.740
 And all maybe who are away on holiday just now as well.

00:05:35.740 --> 00:05:36.800
 We pray for them,

00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:38.980
 For you to bless them and to keep them,

00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:41.060
 In school, in the homes,

00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:42.819
 In the communities around us, Lord,

00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.019
 That they would know your protection and your help.

00:05:45.620 --> 00:05:46.660
 And together as families,

00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:47.579
 Even here today,

00:05:47.660 --> 00:05:50.199
 We would know your peace upon us.

00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:51.680
 Bless the young ones as they go through

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.360
 To the holiday tweenies,

00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:55.379
 And also those in the creche as well.

00:05:55.980 --> 00:05:58.220
 We thank you for all who care for them there,

00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:00.960
 And help them to understand your word.

00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:02.500
 And we just pray that together,

00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:03.860
 We will know that help,

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.120
 That even Jesus speaks of,

00:06:06.339 --> 00:06:08.079
 In the passages that we read today,

00:06:08.740 --> 00:06:11.060
 That the spirit would help us to understand,

00:06:11.779 --> 00:06:13.540
 All that is written in the prophets,

00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:14.519
 The psalms,

00:06:15.019 --> 00:06:16.079
 In the word of God,

00:06:16.139 --> 00:06:17.379
 As we have it before us.

00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.579
 Lord, we need your help.

00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:19.779
 So remember us,

00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:21.399
 Remember those unable to be with us,

00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:23.680
 Remember those belonging to us,

00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.100
 As a people who are mourning at this time,

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:27.660
 Those who are unwell,

00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:29.879
 Those who are confined to their homes.

00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.100
 Lord, we continue to pray for each one,

00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:33.300
 In all their different needs,

00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:34.699
 And ask that you will bless them,

00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:36.439
 Surround them as well.

00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:38.439
 And so may you be with us now,

00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:39.719
 And all your people today,

00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:41.860
 As so many gather to worship,

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.699
 To all ends of the earth.

00:06:44.139 --> 00:06:46.240
 We thank you that from the rising of the sun,

00:06:46.339 --> 00:06:47.159
 To its setting,

00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.019
 Your name is praised.

00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.379
 Be with us throughout the day,

00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:51.600
 Into the evening service.

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:52.519
 Remember Callum,

00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:55.000
 As he preaches here in this evening,

00:06:55.579 --> 00:06:57.480
 Remember us in the praise night as well,

00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:57.720
 Lord,

00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.939
 And for all who have prepared for that as well,

00:06:59.939 --> 00:07:00.800
 That we would see,

00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.600
 And hear of your goodness in all of these things.

00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:04.879
 So bless us,

00:07:05.020 --> 00:07:05.840
 Watch over us,

00:07:05.960 --> 00:07:06.900
 Go before us,

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.540
 Pardon all our sins,

00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:09.500
 That's all we ask,

00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:10.980
 We ask in Jesus' name,

00:07:11.460 --> 00:07:12.500
 And for his sake.

00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:13.220
 Amen.

00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:18.840
 Well, it's Easter Sunday,

00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:21.640
 So it's an important day for us,

00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:23.820
 As we remember that Jesus,

00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:25.700
 Although he came into this world,

00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:27.540
 And died on a cross,

00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:28.640
 We remember today,

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.040
 That he rose from the grave,

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:32.200
 That he is risen.

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:33.960
 So Easter Sunday,

00:07:34.060 --> 00:07:36.880
 What's maybe the first thing that comes to mind,

00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:39.260
 When you think of Easter Sunday?

00:07:39.780 --> 00:07:42.160
 What kind of things come into your thinking,

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:42.700
 As you think,

00:07:42.820 --> 00:07:43.900
 What is Easter Sunday?

00:07:44.020 --> 00:07:44.780
 What does it mean?

00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.520
 There may be certain things that come to you,

00:07:47.520 --> 00:07:49.480
 You think Easter eggs,

00:07:50.760 --> 00:07:52.420
 Anybody had an Easter egg today?

00:07:52.760 --> 00:07:53.340
 Hands up,

00:07:53.460 --> 00:07:55.180
 Oh, there's a few hands going up already,

00:07:55.280 --> 00:07:55.460
 Yeah,

00:07:56.180 --> 00:07:57.760
 I'm sure many of you had Easter eggs,

00:07:57.820 --> 00:07:59.240
 Does anybody like hot cross buns?

00:08:00.420 --> 00:08:00.960
 Hands up,

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.100
 Or you like hot cross buns?

00:08:02.300 --> 00:08:02.980
 I'm sure there's a few,

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:04.540
 Who like hot cross buns,

00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:05.060
 Yeah,

00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:06.840
 One elder at the front there,

00:08:06.900 --> 00:08:08.360
 Or nameless,

00:08:08.440 --> 00:08:09.400
 I won't say who it is,

00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.439
 So the hot cross buns,

00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:12.439
 You probably had some of them,

00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:13.359
 During this week,

00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:14.319
 You think of holidays,

00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:15.439
 When you think of Easter,

00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:17.419
 We think of holiday time as well,

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:18.799
 So there's all these things,

00:08:18.859 --> 00:08:19.539
 That come to mind,

00:08:19.599 --> 00:08:21.459
 But what about Jesus?

00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.079
 Where does he fit into Easter,

00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:26.839
 As you think of Easter,

00:08:26.919 --> 00:08:28.139
 And all that it means?

00:08:29.139 --> 00:08:30.739
 Does he fit into everything,

00:08:30.739 --> 00:08:31.839
 That you're thinking about,

00:08:31.939 --> 00:08:32.759
 When you think of Easter?

00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:34.960
 It's a little like Christmas as well,

00:08:35.699 --> 00:08:36.939
 When we think of Christmas,

00:08:36.940 --> 00:08:38.960
 What comes to mind then?

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.720
 We maybe think of presents,

00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:44.160
 We think of the Christmas tree,

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:45.080
 We think of turkey,

00:08:45.180 --> 00:08:46.080
 We think of the holidays,

00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:47.740
 We've got all these things,

00:08:47.880 --> 00:08:48.480
 That we think of,

00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:49.860
 When we think of Christmas as well,

00:08:49.940 --> 00:08:51.620
 But we ask the same question,

00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:54.240
 Where does Jesus fit into that?

00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:56.240
 Where does he fit into Christmas?

00:08:56.760 --> 00:08:58.180
 Where does he fit into Easter?

00:08:58.300 --> 00:09:00.340
 Where does he fit in our lives,

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:02.160
 As we think about all of these things?

00:09:02.260 --> 00:09:04.340
 Is he just part of it,

00:09:04.340 --> 00:09:05.460
 That we put to the side,

00:09:05.540 --> 00:09:06.880
 And just take out when we want?

00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:09.680
 Or is he the most important thing,

00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:10.900
 In it all?

00:09:11.700 --> 00:09:12.880
 Well if you go back to,

00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:13.940
 Christmas time,

00:09:14.660 --> 00:09:17.040
 We had a Christmas family service,

00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:18.480
 And we were together,

00:09:18.660 --> 00:09:20.520
 Thinking about Jesus being born,

00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:21.940
 Into this world,

00:09:22.700 --> 00:09:23.840
 That amazing story,

00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:25.000
 That Jesus was born,

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:26.180
 Into this world,

00:09:26.260 --> 00:09:27.320
 And they gave him the name,

00:09:27.580 --> 00:09:27.960
 Jesus,

00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:31.060
 Because Jesus is such an important name,

00:09:31.060 --> 00:09:31.560
 It means,

00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:33.700
 He will save his people,

00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:35.440
 From their sins,

00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.120
 So Jesus is important,

00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:39.980
 And then,

00:09:40.180 --> 00:09:41.580
 That leaves us with a question,

00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.240
 Well if he's going to save his people,

00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:44.060
 From their sins,

00:09:44.420 --> 00:09:44.900
 How?

00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:47.780
 How is he going to save his people,

00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:48.940
 From their sins?

00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:50.680
 Well that's when we see,

00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:52.600
 The importance of Easter,

00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:55.100
 Because Jesus came,

00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:57.000
 As we remember at Christmas time,

00:09:57.060 --> 00:09:58.640
 Each year we remember his birth,

00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:00.620
 He came to live,

00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:03.659
 But in order to save his people,

00:10:04.220 --> 00:10:05.500
 He had to die,

00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:08.220
 He died on the cross,

00:10:08.299 --> 00:10:09.399
 He gave his life,

00:10:09.460 --> 00:10:11.620
 And that sounds so strange,

00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:12.679
 To us,

00:10:13.379 --> 00:10:14.700
 It can sound a little strange,

00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:14.879
 To think,

00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:17.120
 Why did Jesus have to die?

00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.060
 Was there no other way?

00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:20.580
 It might sound like,

00:10:20.580 --> 00:10:22.679
 Things were a little out of control,

00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:25.399
 That things had got beyond God,

00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:26.399
 That he had no control,

00:10:26.500 --> 00:10:27.460
 Over what was happening,

00:10:27.539 --> 00:10:28.700
 And that Jesus dying,

00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:29.759
 Was a mistake,

00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.019
 And even to the people,

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:34.899
 Who were around Jesus at that time,

00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:36.759
 Even his closest people,

00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:37.279
 His followers,

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.580
 They were called the disciples,

00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:41.179
 They were confused by it all,

00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:42.639
 And so many people had questions,

00:10:42.779 --> 00:10:44.519
 Why is this happening?

00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:47.399
 Well that's what we see today,

00:10:47.439 --> 00:10:48.299
 As we think of Easter,

00:10:48.299 --> 00:10:49.279
 Because we remember,

00:10:49.700 --> 00:10:51.120
 God had a plan,

00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:53.700
 And this was all part,

00:10:53.819 --> 00:10:55.100
 Of God's plan,

00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.379
 That people would need,

00:10:57.620 --> 00:10:58.980
 Saving from their sins,

00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:00.259
 And in order to be saved,

00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:01.440
 He had to send Jesus,

00:11:01.899 --> 00:11:02.840
 Into the world,

00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.399
 It was all part,

00:11:04.680 --> 00:11:05.759
 Of his plan,

00:11:06.539 --> 00:11:07.639
 A plan that we see,

00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:09.240
 Right through the Bible,

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.240
 Even when we think of going back,

00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:12.279
 Into the Old Testament,

00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:12.759
 We see,

00:11:13.220 --> 00:11:14.259
 God had a plan,

00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:15.420
 All the time,

00:11:16.300 --> 00:11:17.340
 In the book of Jeremiah,

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:18.360
 In the Old Testament,

00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:19.039
 There's a verse,

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.120
 In chapter 29,

00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:21.279
 And verse 11,

00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:21.779
 It says,

00:11:21.779 --> 00:11:22.959
 I know the plans,

00:11:23.059 --> 00:11:24.139
 I have for you,

00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:25.579
 Declares the Lord,

00:11:25.699 --> 00:11:27.199
 Plans for your welfare,

00:11:27.579 --> 00:11:28.620
 And not for evil,

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:29.779
 To give you a future,

00:11:30.299 --> 00:11:31.379
 And a hope,

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:33.620
 God had a plan,

00:11:34.299 --> 00:11:35.339
 All the time,

00:11:35.740 --> 00:11:38.699
 Who likes playing with Lego,

00:11:39.699 --> 00:11:41.059
 Anybody like playing with Lego,

00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:41.600
 Hands up,

00:11:41.659 --> 00:11:41.779
 Yeah,

00:11:41.839 --> 00:11:43.059
 There's a few hands going up,

00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.100
 That like playing with Lego,

00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:46.039
 You can make all kinds of things,

00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:46.459
 With Lego,

00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:47.139
 It's amazing,

00:11:47.139 --> 00:11:47.799
 And it's been around,

00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:49.019
 For years it seems,

00:11:49.740 --> 00:11:50.580
 It can be quite annoying,

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:52.100
 If you stand on a bit of Lego,

00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:53.319
 When you're walking barefoot,

00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:54.120
 Through the living room,

00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:56.159
 But it's great fun,

00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.879
 To play and make different things,

00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:58.500
 With Lego,

00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:00.439
 What kind of things can you make,

00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:03.039
 You can build racing cars,

00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:03.939
 Out of Lego,

00:12:04.439 --> 00:12:05.600
 You can build boats,

00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:06.240
 Out of Lego,

00:12:06.319 --> 00:12:07.539
 You can build houses,

00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:08.519
 And castles,

00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.340
 Even football stadiums,

00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:11.379
 You can make them out of Lego,

00:12:11.439 --> 00:12:12.700
 You can do all sorts,

00:12:13.059 --> 00:12:13.720
 With Lego,

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:15.759
 But what's important,

00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:17.120
 When you're playing with Lego,

00:12:17.139 --> 00:12:18.600
 What's the key,

00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:19.620
 That's in the box,

00:12:19.659 --> 00:12:21.220
 Not just the Lego pieces,

00:12:22.819 --> 00:12:23.879
 But there's a bit of paper,

00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:24.860
 With the plans,

00:12:25.179 --> 00:12:26.539
 The instructions for you,

00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.939
 And how to build these things,

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.019
 If you don't follow the plan,

00:12:31.580 --> 00:12:32.620
 You go wrong,

00:12:33.139 --> 00:12:34.039
 It can be good fun,

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:35.039
 Sometimes just to try,

00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:36.319
 And do things yourself,

00:12:36.939 --> 00:12:38.139
 But if you want to have,

00:12:38.139 --> 00:12:39.240
 The finished product,

00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:40.580
 You need to follow,

00:12:41.059 --> 00:12:41.860
 The instructions,

00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:43.580
 That's just the way,

00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:45.200
 We are sometimes in our life,

00:12:45.299 --> 00:12:46.720
 We don't always listen,

00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:47.700
 To what the plans,

00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:49.160
 The instructions say,

00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:51.240
 And instead we make our own plans,

00:12:51.340 --> 00:12:52.720
 We try and do things ourselves,

00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:54.340
 And so often our plans,

00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:55.340
 Can just go wrong,

00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.000
 Think about the kind of plans,

00:12:58.180 --> 00:12:58.879
 That we've made,

00:12:58.940 --> 00:13:00.200
 Maybe even in the last few weeks,

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:01.180
 Over holiday times,

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.860
 You've made plans,

00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:04.019
 To go away on the ferry,

00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:05.700
 And you get a text,

00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:06.700
 Technical fault,

00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:07.960
 It's not sailing,

00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:09.700
 Plans change,

00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.340
 Plans go wrong,

00:13:11.340 --> 00:13:13.180
 Maybe you make plans,

00:13:13.180 --> 00:13:16.120
 To have a plan for the week ahead,

00:13:16.180 --> 00:13:17.300
 What you're going to do each day,

00:13:17.340 --> 00:13:17.660
 And you think,

00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:18.280
 I'll do this,

00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:18.800
 I'll do this,

00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:19.379
 I'll do this,

00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:21.220
 And you wake up on Monday morning,

00:13:21.280 --> 00:13:22.259
 And you're full of the cold,

00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:23.120
 Or you've got the flu,

00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:24.519
 And all of a sudden,

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:26.100
 Plans have gone wrong,

00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.019
 There's so many ways,

00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:30.000
 That our plans go wrong,

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:30.740
 Even when we think of,

00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.019
 Maybe building things,

00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:32.960
 Building a house,

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:34.399
 Or building a shed,

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:35.259
 Whatever it might be,

00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:35.580
 We think,

00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:37.040
 I'm going to do it like this,

00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:38.139
 And you realize,

00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:39.199
 I can't afford it,

00:13:39.220 --> 00:13:40.500
 I can't do it like that,

00:13:40.699 --> 00:13:41.799
 There's much more to it,

00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:42.399
 Than I thought,

00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:43.259
 Our plans,

00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:44.980
 Can so often go wrong,

00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.639
 God's plan,

00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:49.279
 Never went wrong,

00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:50.840
 Even though things,

00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:52.500
 Might seem strange to us,

00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:53.539
 And to so many people,

00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:55.000
 That Jesus came to die,

00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:57.460
 Wasn't that his plan went wrong,

00:13:58.319 --> 00:13:59.559
 His plan was in place,

00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:01.039
 All of the time,

00:14:01.740 --> 00:14:02.740
 Nothing takes God,

00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:03.779
 By surprise,

00:14:04.899 --> 00:14:05.679
 And that's the wonder,

00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:06.779
 Of all that we have today,

00:14:06.860 --> 00:14:07.819
 To look at in the word,

00:14:07.820 --> 00:14:08.300
 Of God,

00:14:08.340 --> 00:14:08.900
 That we come,

00:14:09.260 --> 00:14:10.060
 With God saying,

00:14:10.220 --> 00:14:11.620
 Trust my plan,

00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:14.100
 I've got everything in hand,

00:14:14.340 --> 00:14:15.160
 What you have to do,

00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:16.140
 Is believe,

00:14:16.400 --> 00:14:17.640
 And trust in me,

00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:19.280
 Believe,

00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:20.480
 In the son,

00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:21.320
 Who I have given,

00:14:21.520 --> 00:14:21.840
 Jesus,

00:14:22.040 --> 00:14:23.160
 Who came to save,

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:25.060
 His people from their sins,

00:14:25.760 --> 00:14:27.220
 By dying on the cross,

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:28.820
 But today,

00:14:28.920 --> 00:14:29.840
 We remember too,

00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:31.600
 He is risen,

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:33.480
 He is risen,

00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:34.520
 He is alive,

00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:36.560
 And that is our hope,

00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:37.839
 So we are going to look,

00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.000
 At God's plan,

00:14:39.060 --> 00:14:40.100
 In a few different ways,

00:14:40.180 --> 00:14:41.019
 But before we do,

00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:42.580
 We are going to sing again,

00:14:42.680 --> 00:14:43.560
 To God's praise,

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.800
 In Psalm 16,

00:14:45.560 --> 00:14:46.160
 And the sing,

00:14:46.300 --> 00:14:47.100
 Psalms version,

00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:49.440
 Psalm 16,

00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:50.600
 The sing,

00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:51.360
 Psalms version,

00:14:51.420 --> 00:14:52.000
 We are going to sing,

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:53.060
 From verse 7,

00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:55.160
 Down to the end of the psalm,

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:56.480
 To verse 11,

00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.659
 And during this singing,

00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:00.879
 The children who are going out,

00:15:00.920 --> 00:15:01.379
 To the holiday,

00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:02.300
 Twinnies can go out,

00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:02.980
 Through the door,

00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:04.360
 To my left here,

00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:04.940
 And go through,

00:15:05.379 --> 00:15:05.960
 To the halls,

00:15:06.019 --> 00:15:06.659
 We are going to sing,

00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:07.960
 Psalm 16,

00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:08.720
 At verse 7,

00:15:08.800 --> 00:15:09.300
 The tune is,

00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:10.039
 Golden Hill,

00:15:10.539 --> 00:15:11.700
 I'll praise the Lord,

00:15:11.779 --> 00:15:12.279
 My God,

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.120
 Whose counsel,

00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:14.420
 Guides my choice,

00:15:14.460 --> 00:15:15.639
 And even in the night,

00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:16.279
 My heart,

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:17.460
 Recalls,

00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:18.820
 Instruction's voice,

00:15:18.820 --> 00:15:20.120
 We stand to sing,

00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:20.800
 These verses,

00:15:20.940 --> 00:15:21.820
 To God's praise,

00:15:21.820 --> 00:15:31.480
 The Lord,

00:15:31.800 --> 00:15:35.000
 My God,

00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:38.140
 Whose counsel,

00:15:38.920 --> 00:15:44.000
 Guides my choice,

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:51.800
 And even in the night,

00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:54.360
 My heart,

00:15:54.360 --> 00:16:03.240
 We lost its passion's voice

00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:10.200
 Before we constantly

00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:21.200
 I said, the Lord my Lord

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:32.200
 Because the earth's at my right hand

00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:41.200
 And all the overthrows

00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:51.180
 Therefore my heart is mine

00:16:51.179 --> 00:17:00.179
 My child with joy will stay

00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:10.179
 My Lord eternal and secure

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:19.180
 In hope and will I live

00:17:19.180 --> 00:17:28.180
 For you will not allow

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:38.180
 My soul in debt to stay

00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:49.180
 Nor will you hear your holy one

00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:58.180
 To see the tombs decay

00:17:58.180 --> 00:18:07.180
 You have made good to me

00:18:07.180 --> 00:18:15.180
 The power of my divine

00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:22.180
 This shall I know

00:18:22.180 --> 00:18:28.180
 At your right hand

00:18:28.180 --> 00:18:37.180
 Joy from new faith will shine

00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:47.180
 We're going to read our first passage of Scripture together

00:18:47.180 --> 00:18:50.180
 Just now we're turning to the book of Acts chapter 2

00:18:50.180 --> 00:18:54.180
 I'm reading from verse 21 to verse 28

00:18:54.180 --> 00:19:02.180
 Acts chapter 2 at verse 21

00:19:02.180 --> 00:19:06.180
 Using the church Bible you find it around page 1097

00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:13.180
 We've got three different readings today

00:19:13.180 --> 00:19:15.180
 But they're all really focused on the fact

00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:17.180
 That Jesus is risen

00:19:17.180 --> 00:19:19.180
 And that being God's plan

00:19:19.180 --> 00:19:21.180
 In the midst of all things

00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:23.180
 So Acts chapter 2 at verse 21

00:19:23.180 --> 00:19:25.180
 We take up our reading

00:19:25.180 --> 00:19:27.180
 Roughly halfway through Peter's sermon

00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:30.180
 At this time on what they call the day of Pentecost

00:19:30.180 --> 00:19:34.180
 And Peter was preaching to a large crowd

00:19:34.180 --> 00:19:36.180
 And he had these words to say to them

00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:38.180
 So at verse 21 we read

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:42.180
 It shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord

00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:43.180
 Shall be saved

00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:46.180
 Men of Israel hear these words

00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:48.180
 Jesus of Nazareth

00:19:48.180 --> 00:19:50.180
 A man attested to you by God

00:19:50.180 --> 00:19:52.180
 With mighty works and wonders and signs

00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:55.180
 That God did through him in your midst

00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:57.180
 As you yourselves know

00:19:57.180 --> 00:20:01.180
 This Jesus delivered up according to the definite plan

00:20:01.180 --> 00:20:03.180
 And foreknowledge of God

00:20:03.180 --> 00:20:07.180
 You crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men

00:20:07.180 --> 00:20:09.180
 God raised him up

00:20:09.180 --> 00:20:11.180
 Loosing the pangs of death

00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:15.180
 Because it was not possible for him to be held by it

00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:17.180
 For David says concerning him

00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:20.180
 I saw the Lord always before me

00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:23.180
 For he is at my right hand

00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:25.180
 That I may not be shaken

00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:27.180
 Therefore my heart was glad

00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:28.180
 And my tongue rejoiced

00:20:28.180 --> 00:20:31.180
 My flesh also will dwell in hope

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:34.180
 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:37.180
 Or let your Holy One see corruption

00:20:37.180 --> 00:20:40.180
 You have made known to me the paths of life

00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:45.180
 You will make me full of gladness with your presence

00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:45.180


00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:48.180
 And may God bless that reading

00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:51.180
 You notice as we read in these verses

00:20:51.180 --> 00:20:54.180
 The middle of verse 25 there

00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:55.180
 The psalm that we just sung

00:20:55.180 --> 00:20:57.180
 Psalm 16 is being quoted

00:20:57.180 --> 00:20:59.180
 So you think of God's plans

00:20:59.180 --> 00:21:01.180
 And you see how God's plans

00:21:01.180 --> 00:21:04.180
 Are really there for us in the Old Testament as well

00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:07.180
 We see all so clearly

00:21:08.180 --> 00:21:11.180
 So a plan was made

00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:13.180
 God had a plan

00:21:13.180 --> 00:21:21.180
 Do you like the thought of having to stand in front of a large crowd of people to speak

00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:23.180
 Hands up here

00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:27.180
 If that would fill you with a sense of excitement

00:21:28.180 --> 00:21:30.180
 Standing in front of a large crowd and speaking

00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:33.180
 I don't know if any hands would really go up

00:21:33.180 --> 00:21:34.180
 It doesn't thrill you does it

00:21:34.180 --> 00:21:37.180
 What about the thought of coming up here to the pulpit

00:21:38.180 --> 00:21:41.180
 And coming to preach in this pulpit to the congregation here

00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:42.180
 Any volunteers

00:21:43.180 --> 00:21:44.180
 Anybody want to come up and give it a go

00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:47.180
 I've got a couple of ministers in the congregation today

00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:50.180
 They might want to just come up and show me how it's done

00:21:51.180 --> 00:21:54.180
 Anybody want to come up here and preach

00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:55.180
 It's a scary thought

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:56.180
 It is

00:21:57.180 --> 00:21:59.180
 Every Sunday coming here is a scary thought

00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:01.180
 Standing in front of everybody to speak

00:22:02.180 --> 00:22:04.180
 But it's a wonder being able to speak about the word of God

00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:07.180
 And what God has done for us

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:09.180
 Well what if you had done this before

00:22:10.180 --> 00:22:12.180
 And it had been a disaster

00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:14.180
 It had all gone wrong

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:15.180
 And you were made to feel so stupid

00:22:16.180 --> 00:22:17.180
 You had said all the wrong things

00:22:18.180 --> 00:22:19.180
 Nothing had gone right

00:22:20.180 --> 00:22:22.180
 The thought of coming to do it again would be terrifying

00:22:22.180 --> 00:22:26.180
 Again if you ask the ministers here myself included

00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:28.180
 We'll see every Sunday you think

00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:30.180
 Why did I say that?

00:22:30.180 --> 00:22:31.180
 Do I have to go back and do it again?

00:22:32.180 --> 00:22:34.180
 We always feel like we can't do it right

00:22:35.180 --> 00:22:35.180


00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:37.180
 We often make mistakes

00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:40.180
 But still we can come and tell of the wonder of God

00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:43.180
 And when you look at this passage

00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:44.180
 And you think of Peter

00:22:45.180 --> 00:22:47.180
 And Peter who was preaching this sermon

00:22:48.180 --> 00:22:51.180
 And you think well he must have been so confident

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:53.180
 He must have been so assured

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:55.180
 With what he was doing

00:22:56.180 --> 00:22:58.180
 So courageous there to stand up and speak

00:22:59.180 --> 00:23:00.180
 And yet when you look at the life of Peter

00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:02.180
 What had he done previously?

00:23:03.180 --> 00:23:05.180
 He had made mistakes himself

00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:10.180
 He had been made to look quite stupid in many ways

00:23:11.180 --> 00:23:13.180
 And the thought of maybe coming to speak in front of people

00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:14.180


00:23:15.180 --> 00:23:19.180
 Because when Jesus was going to go to the cross

00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:21.180
 What did Peter do?

00:23:21.180 --> 00:23:22.180
 What did Peter do?

00:23:22.180 --> 00:23:23.180
 People started turning to him and saying

00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:25.180
 Are you not friends with Jesus?

00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:28.180
 Are you not one of his followers?

00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:29.180
 What did Peter do?

00:23:29.180 --> 00:23:31.180
 Did he say yes, I'm one of his followers?

00:23:32.180 --> 00:23:33.180
 No

00:23:34.180 --> 00:23:35.180
 He denied him

00:23:35.180 --> 00:23:36.180
 He says I don't know this man

00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:39.180
 No, not once

00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:40.180


00:23:41.180 --> 00:23:42.180
 But three times

00:23:42.180 --> 00:23:43.180
 He did that

00:23:43.180 --> 00:23:44.180
 And he felt a failure

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:45.180
 Failure

00:23:45.180 --> 00:23:46.180
 He felt he had let down his Lord

00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:49.180
 But his Lord Jesus

00:23:50.180 --> 00:23:51.180
 When he rose

00:23:51.180 --> 00:23:52.180
 Restored Peter

00:23:53.180 --> 00:23:54.180
 And he said to him

00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:55.180
 Feed my sheep

00:23:56.180 --> 00:23:57.180
 Go and tell the people

00:23:58.180 --> 00:23:58.180


00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:00.180
 And that's what we see now

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:01.180
 Peter doing

00:24:02.180 --> 00:24:03.180
 And what makes the difference

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:05.180
 Even though he had failed in the past

00:24:05.180 --> 00:24:06.180
 Even though he had denied

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:07.180
 The Lord Jesus

00:24:08.180 --> 00:24:09.180
 It's because now he knows

00:24:09.180 --> 00:24:10.180
 He knows

00:24:10.180 --> 00:24:11.180
 He knows fully

00:24:11.180 --> 00:24:12.180
 He knows fully

00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:13.180
 That what God had said in his word

00:24:13.180 --> 00:24:15.180
 What Jesus had told him

00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:16.180
 It is all true

00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:18.180
 Even when he thought

00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:20.180
 Things were going wrong

00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:21.180
 That they were taking Jesus away

00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:23.180
 To put him to death

00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:24.180
 That he would never see him again

00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:26.180
 What's the difference?

00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:27.180
 Well he knows now

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:29.180
 He is risen

00:24:30.180 --> 00:24:31.180
 He has seen him

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:34.180
 And so now he's able to come

00:24:35.180 --> 00:24:36.180
 And speak to them about this Jesus

00:24:37.180 --> 00:24:38.180
 Who is risen

00:24:38.180 --> 00:24:39.180
 Have you ever heard someone say

00:24:39.180 --> 00:24:41.180
 I knew that would happen

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:43.180
 Or they would say

00:24:43.180 --> 00:24:45.180
 I knew that person would say that

00:24:46.180 --> 00:24:47.180
 When do you hear people saying that?

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:49.180
 So often it's after the event

00:24:50.180 --> 00:24:52.180
 And they're making themselves to look

00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:54.180
 As if they know everything

00:24:54.180 --> 00:24:55.180
 Oh I knew that would happen

00:24:56.180 --> 00:24:57.180
 Like yesterday

00:24:58.180 --> 00:24:59.180
 I was able to say for sure

00:25:00.180 --> 00:25:01.180
 Before it happened

00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:03.180
 Aberdeen will beat hearts

00:25:03.180 --> 00:25:04.180
 And get to the cup final

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:06.180
 Definitely it's going to happen

00:25:06.180 --> 00:25:08.180
 Not that confident actually

00:25:09.180 --> 00:25:10.180
 But it did happen

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:12.180
 There are so many things

00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:13.180
 We can be uncertain about

00:25:14.180 --> 00:25:14.180


00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:16.180
 But do we really believe it?

00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:18.180
 Until it actually happens

00:25:19.180 --> 00:25:20.180
 We're maybe not entirely sure

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:23.180
 Well here is Peter now preaching

00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:25.180
 This sermon

00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:27.180
 And what does make the difference for him

00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:30.180
 Is these words that we find in verse 23

00:25:30.180 --> 00:25:31.180
 23

00:25:32.180 --> 00:25:33.180
 And 24

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:34.180
 Where it says

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:35.180
 This Jesus

00:25:36.180 --> 00:25:38.180
 Delivered up according to the definite plan

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:40.180
 And foreknowledge of God

00:25:41.180 --> 00:25:42.180
 You see Peter says here

00:25:43.180 --> 00:25:44.180
 This was the plan

00:25:45.180 --> 00:25:45.180


00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:47.180
 The definite plan

00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:49.180
 This was going

00:25:50.180 --> 00:25:50.180


00:25:51.180 --> 00:25:52.180
 There was no other way

00:25:53.180 --> 00:25:54.180
 It was all part of God's plan

00:25:55.180 --> 00:25:57.180
 And in order to show that

00:25:58.180 --> 00:25:59.180
 He quotes from that psalm

00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:00.180


00:26:01.180 --> 00:26:01.180


00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:04.180
 That this is what was going to take place

00:26:05.180 --> 00:26:07.180
 The grave could not hold on to our Saviour

00:26:08.180 --> 00:26:10.180
 You will not let your Holy One see corruption

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:14.180
 Basically means that Jesus was going to rise

00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:16.180
 From the grave again

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:21.180
 And so Peter realizes this is all part of God's plan

00:26:21.180 --> 00:26:24.180
 And now he's preaching about God's plan

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:25.180
 This plan is made

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:27.180
 This plan is certain

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:29.180
 It's secure in Jesus

00:26:30.180 --> 00:26:32.180
 And as he stands to preach

00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:35.180
 He shows them the depth of this plan

00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:37.180
 How great this plan is

00:26:37.180 --> 00:26:38.180
 Even though it seems strange

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:41.180
 The definite plan and foreknowledge of God

00:26:42.180 --> 00:26:45.180
 This Jesus delivered up according to the definite plan

00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:47.180
 You crucified and killed

00:26:48.180 --> 00:26:49.180
 In the hands of lawless men

00:26:49.180 --> 00:26:51.180
 You did it he says

00:26:52.180 --> 00:26:55.180
 But he says God raised him up

00:26:56.180 --> 00:26:58.180
 God raised him from the dead

00:26:59.180 --> 00:27:02.180
 This was part of God's definite plan

00:27:03.180 --> 00:27:05.180
 And the wonder of that too

00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:07.180
 It's such a deep plan

00:27:08.180 --> 00:27:11.180
 But in many ways there's a simplicity to this plan as well

00:27:12.180 --> 00:27:14.180
 Because what it says now to the people is

00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:15.180
 In verse 21

00:27:15.180 --> 00:27:17.180
 It shall come to pass

00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:19.180
 That everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord

00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:21.180
 Shall be saved

00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:24.180
 Because of the depth and the wonder of God's plan

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:25.180


00:27:26.180 --> 00:27:27.180
 The definite plan

00:27:28.180 --> 00:27:29.180
 This is what people can do

00:27:30.180 --> 00:27:31.180
 In order to be saved

00:27:32.180 --> 00:27:35.180
 They call on the name of the Lord

00:27:36.180 --> 00:27:40.180
 Many things in life are exclusive

00:27:40.180 --> 00:27:43.180
 That means we can't get them

00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:46.180
 Unless you've got maybe the right amount of money

00:27:46.180 --> 00:27:47.180
 Or the right ticket

00:27:47.180 --> 00:27:48.180
 You can't get it

00:27:48.180 --> 00:27:50.180
 Think of just walking through an airport

00:27:51.180 --> 00:27:52.180
 You ever walk through an airport

00:27:53.180 --> 00:27:54.180
 And you see a place with a sign

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:56.180
 Executive lounge

00:27:57.180 --> 00:27:59.180
 But they won't let you in

00:28:00.180 --> 00:28:01.180
 Because you're not important enough

00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:04.180
 You don't have the right credentials

00:28:04.180 --> 00:28:05.180
 So you're not allowed to go in

00:28:05.180 --> 00:28:07.180
 All you can do is just walk past

00:28:08.180 --> 00:28:09.180
 And have a wee look in

00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:10.180
 To see what it looks like

00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:12.180
 Or maybe then you go onto the plane

00:28:13.180 --> 00:28:14.180
 You're going onto a big plane

00:28:15.180 --> 00:28:15.180


00:28:16.180 --> 00:28:17.180
 Hundreds of people on it

00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:18.180
 And you have to go to the right

00:28:19.180 --> 00:28:20.180
 To standard class

00:28:20.180 --> 00:28:22.180
 But to the left is first class

00:28:23.180 --> 00:28:24.180
 But you don't have the ticket

00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:26.180
 You can't get in

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:27.180
 And all you can do is just have a wee peep

00:28:28.180 --> 00:28:29.180
 And see what it looks like

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:31.180
 All these big seats that they have

00:28:31.180 --> 00:28:32.180
 That they can put in to recline

00:28:32.180 --> 00:28:33.180
 And sleep on

00:28:34.180 --> 00:28:35.180
 And you have to go down

00:28:35.180 --> 00:28:36.180
 And be crushed in the midst

00:28:36.180 --> 00:28:37.180
 With everybody else

00:28:38.180 --> 00:28:42.180
 We don't have the right access to get in

00:28:43.180 --> 00:28:44.180
 But the wonder of the gospel

00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:46.180
 As we see here is

00:28:46.180 --> 00:28:46.180


00:28:47.180 --> 00:28:49.180
 Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord

00:28:50.180 --> 00:28:50.180


00:28:51.180 --> 00:28:52.180
 Nobody's excluded

00:28:53.180 --> 00:28:54.180
 It's for all of us here today

00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:56.180
 If you've called, great

00:28:57.180 --> 00:28:59.180
 If you know that salvation

00:28:59.180 --> 00:29:01.180
 How wonderful it is

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:03.180
 But if you haven't

00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:05.180
 Well here's the instructions

00:29:06.180 --> 00:29:06.180


00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:09.180
 God has a definite plan

00:29:10.180 --> 00:29:11.180
 He has done everything

00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:13.180
 According to his foreknowledge

00:29:14.180 --> 00:29:14.180


00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:16.180
 And he says

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:17.180
 Call upon the name of the Lord

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:19.180
 To be saved

00:29:20.180 --> 00:29:22.180
 The plan is made

00:29:23.180 --> 00:29:25.180
 God had a definite plan

00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:26.180
 And the next thing we want to see

00:29:26.180 --> 00:29:27.180
 Is how this plan

00:29:28.180 --> 00:29:29.180
 Is actioned

00:29:30.180 --> 00:29:31.180
 And for that we're going to read

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:32.180
 In another part of scripture

00:29:33.180 --> 00:29:34.180
 We're going to read

00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:35.180
 In the Gospel of John

00:29:36.180 --> 00:29:37.180
 Chapter 19

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:41.180
 And just a few verses

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:43.180
 In that Gospel

00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:45.180
 Verse 28 to 30

00:29:46.180 --> 00:29:51.180
 Just a few pages back

00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:52.180
 John 19

00:29:52.180 --> 00:29:54.180
 John 19

00:29:55.180 --> 00:29:56.180
 And we read at verse 28

00:29:57.180 --> 00:30:01.180
 So here is

00:30:02.180 --> 00:30:03.180
 We come to the cross here

00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:05.180
 And the death of Jesus

00:30:06.180 --> 00:30:06.180


00:30:07.180 --> 00:30:08.180
 After this

00:30:08.180 --> 00:30:09.180
 After this

00:30:09.180 --> 00:30:11.180
 Jesus knowing that all was now finished

00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:13.180
 To fulfill the scripture

00:30:14.180 --> 00:30:14.180


00:30:15.180 --> 00:30:17.180
 A jar full of sour wine

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:20.180
 So they put a sponge full of sour wine

00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:22.180
 On a hyssop branch

00:30:23.180 --> 00:30:23.180


00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:26.180
 When Jesus had received the sour wine

00:30:27.180 --> 00:30:27.180


00:30:28.180 --> 00:30:29.180
 It is finished

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:31.180
 And he bowed his head

00:30:31.180 --> 00:30:32.180
 And gave up his spirit

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:35.180
 Just these few verses

00:30:36.180 --> 00:30:37.180
 But they say

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:39.180
 So much to us

00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:43.180
 And what we want to see here

00:30:44.180 --> 00:30:44.180


00:30:45.180 --> 00:30:45.180


00:30:46.180 --> 00:30:47.180
 Put into action

00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:49.180
 What's your plans?

00:30:50.180 --> 00:30:51.180
 That's a common question

00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:53.180
 That we're asked, isn't it?

00:30:53.180 --> 00:30:54.180
 What's your plans for the weekend?

00:30:55.180 --> 00:30:56.180
 What's your plans for the holiday?

00:30:57.180 --> 00:30:58.180
 What's your plans tonight?

00:30:59.180 --> 00:31:00.180
 We're so often asked that question

00:31:00.180 --> 00:31:02.180
 What about this question?

00:31:03.180 --> 00:31:04.180
 What's your plans for being saved?

00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:08.180
 Can we do it ourselves?

00:31:09.180 --> 00:31:12.180
 Are you going to save yourself?

00:31:13.180 --> 00:31:14.180
 We can't

00:31:15.180 --> 00:31:18.180
 So what's your plans for being saved?

00:31:19.180 --> 00:31:21.180
 Who is able to save us from our sins?

00:31:22.180 --> 00:31:24.180
 Well, we've already said, haven't we?

00:31:25.180 --> 00:31:26.180
 Who is it?

00:31:26.180 --> 00:31:27.180
 Who is able to save us from our sins?

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:29.180
 What's the name that we think of

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:30.180
 When we think of

00:31:30.180 --> 00:31:31.180
 Who is able to save us from our sins?

00:31:31.180 --> 00:31:33.180
 Who wants to shout out that name?

00:31:35.180 --> 00:31:35.180


00:31:36.180 --> 00:31:37.180
 Isn't it?

00:31:38.180 --> 00:31:39.180
 Jesus saves us from our sins

00:31:40.180 --> 00:31:42.180
 But not just the Jesus we think of

00:31:43.180 --> 00:31:44.180
 Thinking back to Christmas

00:31:44.180 --> 00:31:45.180
 The one who was born into the world

00:31:46.180 --> 00:31:48.180
 But the Jesus that we read of here

00:31:49.180 --> 00:31:51.180
 As he goes to the cross saying

00:31:52.180 --> 00:31:53.180
 It is finished

00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:55.180
 It is finished

00:31:55.180 --> 00:31:57.180
 So someone referencing

00:31:58.180 --> 00:32:00.180
 A football manager this week

00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:01.180


00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:03.180
 Some of you may be too young to remember

00:32:03.180 --> 00:32:04.180
 He was manager of Arsenal

00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:06.180
 A number of years ago

00:32:06.180 --> 00:32:07.180
 Very successful manager

00:32:08.180 --> 00:32:10.180
 And he said at one point

00:32:10.180 --> 00:32:11.180
 As he was managing the team

00:32:12.180 --> 00:32:13.180
 He said when looking at the games to be played

00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:15.180
 Christmas is important

00:32:16.180 --> 00:32:18.180
 But Easter is decisive

00:32:19.180 --> 00:32:20.180
 What did he mean by that?

00:32:20.180 --> 00:32:21.180
 What did he mean by that?

00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:22.180
 Well at Christmas time

00:32:22.180 --> 00:32:23.180
 You find that the teams

00:32:23.180 --> 00:32:24.180
 You have to play a lot of games

00:32:24.180 --> 00:32:26.180
 In the same period of time

00:32:26.180 --> 00:32:27.180
 Maybe four or five games

00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:29.180
 Maybe in two weeks

00:32:29.180 --> 00:32:30.180
 And it is important

00:32:31.180 --> 00:32:32.180
 It is important that they do well

00:32:33.180 --> 00:32:34.180
 But the way he looked at it was

00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:36.180
 Christmas is important

00:32:36.180 --> 00:32:37.180
 But then you look at Easter

00:32:37.180 --> 00:32:38.180
 Which can be a busy time

00:32:38.180 --> 00:32:39.180
 And it is coming to the end of the season

00:32:40.180 --> 00:32:41.180
 And he is saying

00:32:41.180 --> 00:32:42.180
 Easter is decisive

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:46.180
 That is when things are really decided

00:32:46.180 --> 00:32:49.180
 And what the person was saying

00:32:49.180 --> 00:32:50.180
 And what the person was saying

00:32:50.180 --> 00:32:51.180
 Is he was talking about this

00:32:51.180 --> 00:32:52.180
 In a football way

00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:54.180
 But we can think of it

00:32:54.180 --> 00:32:56.180
 From the scripture as well

00:32:56.180 --> 00:32:57.180
 Christmas is important

00:32:58.180 --> 00:33:00.180
 Jesus came into the world

00:33:00.180 --> 00:33:01.180
 That is so important

00:33:02.180 --> 00:33:04.180
 But Easter is decisive

00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:08.180
 Because without the death

00:33:08.180 --> 00:33:10.180
 And the resurrection of Jesus

00:33:11.180 --> 00:33:14.180
 Our faith would mean nothing

00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:18.180
 The resurrection is so important

00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:20.180
 Easter is decisive

00:33:21.180 --> 00:33:24.180
 He was born into this world

00:33:24.180 --> 00:33:25.180
 But he came to die

00:33:26.180 --> 00:33:27.180
 And rise from the grave

00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:29.180
 That was the definite plan

00:33:31.180 --> 00:33:33.180
 But Jesus' dying on the cross

00:33:34.180 --> 00:33:36.180
 Can seem like a plan that had gone wrong

00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:38.180
 That God had failed

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:40.180
 And maybe this was kind of plan B

00:33:41.180 --> 00:33:42.180
 How are we going to make things right?

00:33:42.180 --> 00:33:44.180
 We've got to find another way

00:33:45.180 --> 00:33:46.180
 Like we, when we're doing things

00:33:46.180 --> 00:33:47.180
 We can go wrong

00:33:47.180 --> 00:33:48.180
 And we think, right, what's plan B?

00:33:49.180 --> 00:33:50.180
 How are we going to fix this?

00:33:50.180 --> 00:33:52.180
 How are we going to change this?

00:33:53.180 --> 00:33:54.180
 But all along

00:33:55.180 --> 00:33:58.180
 This was God's plan A

00:33:59.180 --> 00:34:00.180
 And that's what we see

00:34:01.180 --> 00:34:03.180
 As you go right through the Old Testament

00:34:04.180 --> 00:34:07.180
 It's always pointing towards Jesus on the cross

00:34:08.180 --> 00:34:11.180
 Because he had to die for our sins

00:34:12.179 --> 00:34:14.179
 But how do we know

00:34:15.179 --> 00:34:16.179
 This is plan A?

00:34:17.179 --> 00:34:21.179
 Well, there's a word used in these few verses that we've read

00:34:22.179 --> 00:34:23.179
 These three verses that we've read

00:34:24.179 --> 00:34:25.179
 It's the word finished

00:34:26.179 --> 00:34:28.179
 You see it there in verse 28

00:34:29.179 --> 00:34:33.179
 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished

00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:37.179
 Said to fulfill the scripture, I thirst

00:34:37.179 --> 00:34:41.179
 And then when Jesus had received the sour wine

00:34:42.179 --> 00:34:43.179
 He said, it is finished

00:34:44.179 --> 00:34:46.179
 And he bowed his head and gave up his spirit

00:34:47.179 --> 00:34:48.179
 So the word finished

00:34:49.179 --> 00:34:51.179
 Is so important for us

00:34:52.179 --> 00:34:58.179
 There's a number of words or phrases that maybe stick with us when we hear them

00:34:59.179 --> 00:35:01.179
 Words that we can associate with something

00:35:01.179 --> 00:35:04.179
 For example, the Titanic

00:35:05.179 --> 00:35:06.179
 You think of the ship, the Titanic

00:35:07.179 --> 00:35:09.179
 That sank back in April 1912

00:35:10.179 --> 00:35:12.179
 It was the anniversary just earlier this week

00:35:13.179 --> 00:35:14.179
 Of the sinking of the Titanic

00:35:15.179 --> 00:35:17.179
 Many people when that ship was built

00:35:18.179 --> 00:35:19.179
 They looked at it and thought

00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:20.179


00:35:21.179 --> 00:35:22.179
 They used that word

00:35:23.179 --> 00:35:24.179
 Some people used that word

00:35:25.179 --> 00:35:26.179
 Unsinkable

00:35:26.179 --> 00:35:29.179
 But on its first proper voyage

00:35:29.179 --> 00:35:30.179
 It sank

00:35:31.179 --> 00:35:32.179
 A tragedy occurred

00:35:33.179 --> 00:35:37.179
 There was another time when a spaceship went up to space

00:35:38.179 --> 00:35:39.179
 There was a mission, Apollo 13

00:35:40.179 --> 00:35:41.179
 There's a film made about it

00:35:42.179 --> 00:35:43.179
 And the words that were used at one point was

00:35:44.179 --> 00:35:46.179
 Houston, we have a problem

00:35:47.179 --> 00:35:49.179
 And these kind of words, they stick with us

00:35:50.179 --> 00:35:52.179
 Because we think that we associate them with something

00:35:53.179 --> 00:35:54.179
 Unsinkable

00:35:54.179 --> 00:35:55.179
 Or Houston, we have a problem

00:35:55.179 --> 00:35:57.179
 And we think of

00:35:58.179 --> 00:36:00.179
 Plans that had not worked out

00:36:01.179 --> 00:36:02.179
 Plans that had gone wrong

00:36:03.179 --> 00:36:05.179
 And for many people

00:36:06.179 --> 00:36:08.179
 Jesus' words here in these verses

00:36:09.179 --> 00:36:09.179


00:36:10.179 --> 00:36:11.179
 People think that

00:36:12.179 --> 00:36:13.179
 He'd lost control

00:36:14.179 --> 00:36:15.179
 It was done

00:36:16.179 --> 00:36:17.179
 It was finished

00:36:17.179 --> 00:36:18.179
 He'd failed

00:36:19.179 --> 00:36:20.179
 That's the way many people see it

00:36:21.179 --> 00:36:22.179
 That's why many people saw it at the time

00:36:22.179 --> 00:36:24.179
 As they looked on Jesus dying on the cross

00:36:25.179 --> 00:36:26.179
 They thought, we're done

00:36:27.179 --> 00:36:30.179
 The one we had hoped had come to save us

00:36:31.179 --> 00:36:31.179


00:36:32.179 --> 00:36:34.179
 Many people look on it in the same way

00:36:35.179 --> 00:36:35.179


00:36:36.179 --> 00:36:37.179
 Jesus means nothing

00:36:38.179 --> 00:36:41.179
 But what we have to see is

00:36:42.179 --> 00:36:43.179
 This word finished

00:36:44.179 --> 00:36:45.179
 And it's a word I want you all to remember

00:36:46.179 --> 00:36:49.179
 Because it's such an important word

00:36:49.179 --> 00:36:50.179
 It's one of the most important words

00:36:50.179 --> 00:36:51.179
 It's one of the most important words

00:36:51.179 --> 00:36:52.179
 That Jesus said

00:36:53.179 --> 00:36:54.179
 It is finished

00:36:55.179 --> 00:36:56.179
 It's one word in Greek

00:36:57.179 --> 00:36:58.179
 Tetelestai

00:36:59.179 --> 00:37:01.179
 And I want you to remember that word

00:37:02.179 --> 00:37:03.179
 Young and old alike

00:37:04.179 --> 00:37:04.179


00:37:05.179 --> 00:37:06.179
 It means

00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:07.179


00:37:08.179 --> 00:37:10.179
 And behind that word is

00:37:11.179 --> 00:37:12.179
 Everything is paid in full

00:37:13.179 --> 00:37:16.179
 Everything is paid in full

00:37:16.179 --> 00:37:19.179
 And it's only used in the New Testament here

00:37:20.179 --> 00:37:21.179
 These two times

00:37:22.179 --> 00:37:23.179
 It's the only place it's used

00:37:23.179 --> 00:37:23.179


00:37:24.179 --> 00:37:26.179
 One of Jesus' last words on the cross

00:37:27.179 --> 00:37:28.179
 Tetelestai

00:37:29.179 --> 00:37:30.179
 It is finished

00:37:31.179 --> 00:37:33.179
 Other people have used it in a different way

00:37:34.179 --> 00:37:37.179
 But it always points towards something that is complete

00:37:38.179 --> 00:37:42.179
 A servant who was maybe doing work in a house for someone

00:37:42.179 --> 00:37:45.179
 They would use that word when their task was finished

00:37:46.179 --> 00:37:47.179
 Tetelestai

00:37:48.179 --> 00:37:49.179
 It's finished

00:37:50.179 --> 00:37:51.179
 An artist would use it

00:37:52.179 --> 00:37:54.179
 When they put the last touch to a masterpiece

00:37:55.179 --> 00:37:56.179
 Tetelestai

00:37:57.179 --> 00:37:58.179
 It's finished

00:37:59.179 --> 00:38:00.179
 It's done

00:38:01.179 --> 00:38:03.179
 Or people in trade would use it when they've come to an agreement

00:38:04.179 --> 00:38:05.179
 When a deal has been struck

00:38:06.179 --> 00:38:07.179
 The deal is done

00:38:08.179 --> 00:38:09.179
 Tetelestai

00:38:09.179 --> 00:38:10.179
 It is finished

00:38:10.179 --> 00:38:11.179
 It is finished

00:38:13.179 --> 00:38:15.179
 But here Jesus uses this word

00:38:16.179 --> 00:38:19.179
 In a sense of everything that he had come to do

00:38:20.179 --> 00:38:21.179
 Everything about God's plan

00:38:22.179 --> 00:38:23.179
 Everything was finished with him

00:38:24.179 --> 00:38:25.179
 All

00:38:26.179 --> 00:38:27.179
 Is done

00:38:28.179 --> 00:38:30.179
 The price is paid

00:38:31.179 --> 00:38:31.179


00:38:32.179 --> 00:38:35.179
 Have you ever been to the castle

00:38:35.179 --> 00:38:37.179
 Here in Stornoway

00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:39.179
 Have you ever gone inside

00:38:40.179 --> 00:38:41.179
 Even just looking outside is amazing now

00:38:42.179 --> 00:38:43.179
 But when you go inside

00:38:44.179 --> 00:38:47.179
 The transformation since it lay derelict for so many years

00:38:48.179 --> 00:38:48.179


00:38:49.179 --> 00:38:50.179
 Just falling apart

00:38:50.179 --> 00:38:51.179
 But then people got together and said

00:38:52.179 --> 00:38:53.179
 We're going to renovate it

00:38:53.179 --> 00:38:54.179
 We're going to redo it

00:38:55.179 --> 00:38:56.179
 And a lot of money was put into it

00:38:57.179 --> 00:39:00.179
 Maybe about 20 million pounds was spent on bringing it back

00:39:00.179 --> 00:39:01.179
 Into what it had been previously

00:39:01.179 --> 00:39:02.179
 And you go in now

00:39:03.179 --> 00:39:04.179
 And you see it

00:39:04.179 --> 00:39:05.179
 It's amazing to see

00:39:06.179 --> 00:39:07.179
 Weddings are held in there

00:39:07.179 --> 00:39:07.179


00:39:08.179 --> 00:39:08.179


00:39:09.179 --> 00:39:10.179
 You can stay a night in the castle

00:39:11.179 --> 00:39:12.179
 It's an amazing place

00:39:13.179 --> 00:39:16.179
 So imagine someone coming up to you and saying

00:39:17.179 --> 00:39:18.179
 It's yours

00:39:19.179 --> 00:39:20.179
 There's the keys

00:39:21.179 --> 00:39:23.179
 What would your first reaction be

00:39:24.179 --> 00:39:25.179
 You say I can't afford it

00:39:26.179 --> 00:39:27.179
 20 million just to do it up

00:39:27.179 --> 00:39:28.179
 What's it worth now

00:39:28.179 --> 00:39:30.179
 Hundreds of millions

00:39:31.179 --> 00:39:32.179
 I can't afford it

00:39:33.179 --> 00:39:34.179
 But someone comes and says

00:39:35.179 --> 00:39:35.179


00:39:36.179 --> 00:39:36.179


00:39:37.179 --> 00:39:37.179


00:39:38.179 --> 00:39:39.179
 What would you do

00:39:40.179 --> 00:39:41.179
 If you got those keys

00:39:42.179 --> 00:39:43.179
 Keep it to yourself

00:39:44.179 --> 00:39:44.179


00:39:45.179 --> 00:39:46.179
 Come and see my new house

00:39:47.179 --> 00:39:47.179


00:39:48.179 --> 00:39:49.179
 70 bedrooms

00:39:50.179 --> 00:39:52.179
 Anybody want a job cleaning it

00:39:53.179 --> 00:39:55.179
 You can't imagine that happening

00:39:55.179 --> 00:39:58.179
 Everything being paid for you in that way

00:39:59.179 --> 00:40:00.179
 And yet here

00:40:01.179 --> 00:40:02.179
 As you look at the word of God

00:40:03.179 --> 00:40:04.179
 You got something even better

00:40:05.179 --> 00:40:06.179
 Where Jesus says

00:40:07.179 --> 00:40:08.179
 It is finished

00:40:09.179 --> 00:40:10.179
 He is saying

00:40:11.179 --> 00:40:13.179
 Here is the keys to life for you

00:40:14.179 --> 00:40:15.179
 I have done it all

00:40:16.179 --> 00:40:18.179
 Paid in full

00:40:19.179 --> 00:40:22.179
 This is the plan of God for salvation

00:40:22.179 --> 00:40:23.179
 For salvation

00:40:24.179 --> 00:40:25.179
 He died

00:40:26.179 --> 00:40:28.179
 So that we might live

00:40:29.179 --> 00:40:30.179
 And he says

00:40:31.179 --> 00:40:31.179


00:40:32.179 --> 00:40:33.179
 It's for you

00:40:34.179 --> 00:40:35.179
 The plan

00:40:36.179 --> 00:40:37.179
 Was actioned

00:40:38.179 --> 00:40:39.179
 It was done by Jesus

00:40:40.179 --> 00:40:40.179


00:40:41.179 --> 00:40:41.179


00:40:43.179 --> 00:40:44.179
 But is that it

00:40:45.179 --> 00:40:48.179
 Well we want to thirdly think of

00:40:48.179 --> 00:40:50.179
 What does this mean for us today

00:40:51.179 --> 00:40:52.179
 And we want to do this

00:40:53.179 --> 00:40:55.179
 By just reading a few more verses

00:40:56.179 --> 00:40:57.179
 In the Gospel of Luke

00:40:58.179 --> 00:40:59.179
 We are going to read in chapter 24

00:41:00.179 --> 00:41:06.179
 Luke chapter 24 verse 44 to 53

00:41:06.179 --> 00:41:16.179
 And as we read these words

00:41:17.179 --> 00:41:18.179
 What we see now is

00:41:19.179 --> 00:41:20.179
 Here is Jesus

00:41:20.179 --> 00:41:21.179
 Having been on the cross

00:41:22.179 --> 00:41:23.179
 Where is he now?

00:41:24.179 --> 00:41:25.179
 He has risen from the grave

00:41:26.179 --> 00:41:27.179
 They went to the tomb

00:41:28.179 --> 00:41:29.179
 On the Sunday morning

00:41:29.179 --> 00:41:30.179
 And the stone had been rolled back

00:41:31.179 --> 00:41:33.179
 The grave was empty

00:41:33.179 --> 00:41:36.179
 The woman met the gardener

00:41:36.179 --> 00:41:37.179
 Who said

00:41:37.179 --> 00:41:38.179
 He is not here

00:41:38.179 --> 00:41:39.179
 He is risen

00:41:40.179 --> 00:41:41.179
 And then Jesus met

00:41:42.179 --> 00:41:43.179
 With his people

00:41:43.179 --> 00:41:44.179
 In different ways

00:41:44.179 --> 00:41:45.179
 And here is one occasion

00:41:45.179 --> 00:41:46.179
 When he met with them

00:41:46.179 --> 00:41:47.179
 As we are reading in Luke 24

00:41:48.179 --> 00:41:49.179
 Then he said to them

00:41:50.179 --> 00:41:51.179
 These are my words

00:41:51.179 --> 00:41:52.179
 That I spoke to you

00:41:52.179 --> 00:41:53.179
 While I was still with you

00:41:54.179 --> 00:41:55.179
 That everything written about me

00:41:55.179 --> 00:41:56.179
 In the law of Moses

00:41:57.179 --> 00:41:58.179
 And the prophets

00:41:58.179 --> 00:41:58.179


00:41:59.179 --> 00:42:00.179
 Must be fulfilled

00:42:00.179 --> 00:42:02.179
 Then he opened their minds

00:42:02.179 --> 00:42:03.179
 To understand the scriptures

00:42:04.179 --> 00:42:05.179
 And said to them

00:42:06.179 --> 00:42:07.179
 Thus it is written

00:42:07.179 --> 00:42:08.179
 That the Christ should suffer

00:42:08.179 --> 00:42:09.179
 And on the third day

00:42:09.179 --> 00:42:10.179
 Rise from the dead

00:42:11.179 --> 00:42:12.179
 And that repentance

00:42:12.179 --> 00:42:14.179
 For the forgiveness of sins

00:42:15.179 --> 00:42:16.179
 Should be proclaimed in his name

00:42:17.179 --> 00:42:17.179


00:42:18.179 --> 00:42:19.179
 Beginning from Jerusalem

00:42:20.179 --> 00:42:21.179
 You are witnesses of these things

00:42:22.179 --> 00:42:23.179
 And behold

00:42:24.179 --> 00:42:25.179
 I am sending the promise

00:42:25.179 --> 00:42:26.179
 Of my Father upon you

00:42:26.179 --> 00:42:27.179
 But stay in the city

00:42:27.179 --> 00:42:28.179
 Until you are clothed

00:42:28.179 --> 00:42:29.179
 With power on high

00:42:30.179 --> 00:42:31.179
 And he led them out

00:42:32.179 --> 00:42:33.179
 As far as Bethany

00:42:34.179 --> 00:42:35.179
 And lifting up his hands

00:42:35.179 --> 00:42:36.179
 He blessed them

00:42:37.179 --> 00:42:38.179
 While he blessed them

00:42:38.179 --> 00:42:39.179
 He parted from them

00:42:39.179 --> 00:42:40.179
 And was carried up into heaven

00:42:41.179 --> 00:42:42.179
 And they worshipped him

00:42:42.179 --> 00:42:43.179
 And returned to Jerusalem

00:42:43.179 --> 00:42:44.179
 With great joy

00:42:45.179 --> 00:42:46.179
 And were continually

00:42:47.179 --> 00:42:48.179
 In the temple

00:42:48.179 --> 00:42:49.179
 Blessing God

00:42:49.179 --> 00:42:56.179
 Jesus is risen

00:42:57.179 --> 00:42:59.179
 And what does that mean

00:42:59.179 --> 00:43:00.179
 For us today

00:43:01.179 --> 00:43:02.179
 Well go back to the castle

00:43:03.179 --> 00:43:04.179
 And the offer of the keys

00:43:04.179 --> 00:43:05.179
 To it being yours

00:43:06.179 --> 00:43:07.179
 For that to be complete

00:43:08.179 --> 00:43:09.179
 What needs to happen?

00:43:10.179 --> 00:43:11.179
 You have to move in

00:43:12.179 --> 00:43:14.179
 You have to accept it

00:43:15.179 --> 00:43:16.179
 Until you do that

00:43:16.179 --> 00:43:17.179
 Until you do that

00:43:17.179 --> 00:43:18.179
 It's not yours

00:43:18.179 --> 00:43:19.179
 It's not yours

00:43:19.179 --> 00:43:20.179
 You're not living there

00:43:20.179 --> 00:43:21.179
 You're not part of it

00:43:22.179 --> 00:43:23.179
 And that's like it is

00:43:23.179 --> 00:43:24.179
 With the kingdom of God

00:43:24.179 --> 00:43:25.179
 As well

00:43:26.179 --> 00:43:27.179
 The offer is there for us

00:43:28.179 --> 00:43:29.179
 Everything is done

00:43:29.179 --> 00:43:30.179
 It is finished

00:43:31.179 --> 00:43:32.179
 It's Jesus said

00:43:33.179 --> 00:43:34.179
 But in order to live

00:43:35.179 --> 00:43:36.179
 Life to the full

00:43:36.179 --> 00:43:37.179
 We need to believe

00:43:38.179 --> 00:43:39.179
 And understand the scriptures

00:43:40.179 --> 00:43:41.179
 All that is written

00:43:42.179 --> 00:43:43.179
 And that's what we see

00:43:43.179 --> 00:43:44.179
 In these words here

00:43:44.179 --> 00:43:45.179
 That Jesus is speaking

00:43:45.179 --> 00:43:46.179
 To the crowds

00:43:46.179 --> 00:43:47.179
 Who are there with him

00:43:48.179 --> 00:43:49.179
 He says

00:43:50.179 --> 00:43:51.179
 These are my words

00:43:51.179 --> 00:43:52.179
 That I spoke to you

00:43:52.179 --> 00:43:53.179
 While I was still with you

00:43:53.179 --> 00:43:54.179
 That everything

00:43:54.179 --> 00:43:55.179
 Written about me

00:43:55.179 --> 00:43:56.179
 In the law of Moses

00:43:56.179 --> 00:43:57.179
 The prophets

00:43:57.179 --> 00:43:58.179
 And the Psalms

00:43:58.179 --> 00:43:59.179
 That's the Old Testament

00:43:59.179 --> 00:44:00.179
 As we have it

00:44:01.179 --> 00:44:02.179
 Must be fulfilled

00:44:03.179 --> 00:44:04.179
 And then he opened

00:44:04.179 --> 00:44:05.179
 Their minds

00:44:05.179 --> 00:44:07.179
 To understand the scriptures

00:44:09.179 --> 00:44:10.179
 That's what we long for today

00:44:11.179 --> 00:44:13.179
 That the Lord would open our minds

00:44:13.179 --> 00:44:16.179
 To understand the scriptures

00:44:17.179 --> 00:44:18.179
 To understand the importance

00:44:19.179 --> 00:44:20.179
 Of this message

00:44:21.179 --> 00:44:22.179
 It is finished

00:44:23.179 --> 00:44:24.179
 It is done

00:44:24.179 --> 00:44:25.179
 It is paid in full

00:44:26.179 --> 00:44:29.179
 But do you understand that today?

00:44:30.179 --> 00:44:31.179
 Do you understand the importance

00:44:32.179 --> 00:44:34.179
 Of that today for yourself?

00:44:35.179 --> 00:44:37.179
 That in order to live with God

00:44:38.179 --> 00:44:40.179
 You need to believe in Jesus

00:44:40.179 --> 00:44:43.179
 The resurrection

00:44:43.179 --> 00:44:45.179
 Affects our whole life

00:44:46.179 --> 00:44:48.179
 And our eternal life as well

00:44:49.179 --> 00:44:50.179
 What we believe today

00:44:51.179 --> 00:44:52.179
 Is what will matter

00:44:53.179 --> 00:44:54.179
 In the future

00:44:55.179 --> 00:44:56.179
 Even as we think of ourselves

00:44:56.179 --> 00:44:57.179
 Living in this world

00:44:58.179 --> 00:44:59.179
 We know we are just passing through

00:45:00.179 --> 00:45:01.179
 And the day will come

00:45:02.179 --> 00:45:04.179
 When we are called away ourselves

00:45:05.179 --> 00:45:07.179
 But are we ready?

00:45:07.179 --> 00:45:09.179
 That's always the question

00:45:10.179 --> 00:45:13.179
 Are we ready for that day?

00:45:14.179 --> 00:45:16.179
 Well, it is the word of God

00:45:17.179 --> 00:45:17.179


00:45:18.179 --> 00:45:20.179
 It is trusting in Jesus

00:45:21.179 --> 00:45:22.179
 And the finished work

00:45:22.179 --> 00:45:23.179
 Of all that he has done

00:45:24.179 --> 00:45:25.179
 There was a lot of confusion

00:45:26.179 --> 00:45:27.179
 At the time of Jesus' death

00:45:28.179 --> 00:45:29.179
 Peter, as we said

00:45:30.179 --> 00:45:31.179
 Was confused by what was happening

00:45:32.179 --> 00:45:33.179
 He denied knowing Jesus

00:45:33.179 --> 00:45:34.179
 And the disciples left

00:45:35.179 --> 00:45:36.179
 Even before

00:45:37.179 --> 00:45:38.179
 They could see what had happened

00:45:38.179 --> 00:45:39.179
 And when they were told

00:45:39.179 --> 00:45:40.179
 That he has risen

00:45:40.179 --> 00:45:41.179
 They didn't believe it

00:45:42.179 --> 00:45:43.179
 We will be hearing more of that

00:45:43.179 --> 00:45:43.179


00:45:44.179 --> 00:45:48.179
 But just before this part of Luke 24

00:45:49.179 --> 00:45:52.179
 You have two who were on the road to Emmaus

00:45:53.179 --> 00:45:54.179
 And they tell us that

00:45:55.179 --> 00:45:56.179
 Everything just seemed to have got out of control

00:45:57.179 --> 00:46:00.179
 God's plan had failed in many ways

00:46:00.179 --> 00:46:03.179
 They didn't understand what was happening

00:46:04.179 --> 00:46:05.179
 They were saying

00:46:05.179 --> 00:46:06.179
 This Jesus has been crucified

00:46:07.179 --> 00:46:08.179
 He has been put to death

00:46:09.179 --> 00:46:11.179
 And we had hoped that he was going to be our savior

00:46:12.179 --> 00:46:13.179
 They couldn't understand

00:46:14.179 --> 00:46:16.179
 And while they were discussing all of these things

00:46:17.179 --> 00:46:18.179
 Jesus came alongside

00:46:19.179 --> 00:46:20.179
 And it says in verse 16

00:46:21.179 --> 00:46:22.179
 Their eyes were kept from recognizing him

00:46:23.179 --> 00:46:24.179
 They didn't see him

00:46:24.179 --> 00:46:26.179
 They didn't understand who he was

00:46:26.179 --> 00:46:28.179
 They were kept from recognizing him

00:46:28.179 --> 00:46:31.179
 But what they do then is

00:46:31.179 --> 00:46:32.179
 Later on

00:46:33.179 --> 00:46:34.179
 Their hearts are opened

00:46:35.179 --> 00:46:36.179
 As he preaches the word

00:46:36.179 --> 00:46:36.179


00:46:37.179 --> 00:46:39.179
 Did not our hearts burn within us?

00:46:40.179 --> 00:46:43.179
 As he opened up the scriptures to us

00:46:44.179 --> 00:46:46.179
 And when you see that in light of what he says here

00:46:47.179 --> 00:46:47.179


00:46:48.179 --> 00:46:52.179
 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures

00:46:53.179 --> 00:46:55.179
 You see it's all about Jesus

00:46:55.179 --> 00:46:59.179
 He is the one who helps us to understand

00:47:00.179 --> 00:47:01.179
 Their eyes were kept from seeing him

00:47:02.179 --> 00:47:04.179
 Until their hearts burned within them

00:47:05.179 --> 00:47:09.179
 And for yourself today as well

00:47:10.179 --> 00:47:11.179
 It's what are you trusting in?

00:47:12.179 --> 00:47:16.179
 Are you trusting and seeking to understand from these words

00:47:17.179 --> 00:47:19.179
 That here is the way to eternal life

00:47:20.179 --> 00:47:23.179
 Here is the way to be saved from our sin

00:47:23.179 --> 00:47:26.179
 It is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ

00:47:27.179 --> 00:47:29.179
 There was a man

00:47:30.179 --> 00:47:32.179
 Who used to go out in the streets of the cities

00:47:33.179 --> 00:47:35.179
 Different cities around America

00:47:36.179 --> 00:47:38.179
 And he was always preaching about Jesus

00:47:39.179 --> 00:47:40.179
 Telling people about Jesus

00:47:41.179 --> 00:47:45.179
 But he said I would often be interrupted by the crowd asking a question

00:47:46.179 --> 00:47:48.179
 And so often he was saying the same question kept coming up

00:47:48.179 --> 00:47:52.179
 They would say there are hundreds of religions in this country

00:47:53.179 --> 00:47:58.179
 How can we know that the truth that you are telling the truth?

00:47:59.179 --> 00:48:02.179
 And the man would answer the question something like this

00:48:03.179 --> 00:48:06.179
 Did I hear you say there are hundreds of religions?

00:48:07.179 --> 00:48:09.179
 I'll say this to you

00:48:10.179 --> 00:48:11.179
 There's only two

00:48:11.179 --> 00:48:17.179
 And he said yes there may be different shades of religions

00:48:18.179 --> 00:48:19.179
 But there's ultimately only two

00:48:20.179 --> 00:48:24.179
 And one he said covers all who expect salvation

00:48:25.179 --> 00:48:26.179
 By doing it themselves

00:48:29.179 --> 00:48:30.179
 That's one religion

00:48:31.179 --> 00:48:32.179
 You are saved by what you do yourself

00:48:32.179 --> 00:48:33.179
 The other he says covers all who say

00:48:33.179 --> 00:48:41.179
 They are saved by something that was done by another

00:48:42.179 --> 00:48:43.179
 Jesus

00:48:47.179 --> 00:48:49.179
 Are you saved by what you do yourself?

00:48:50.179 --> 00:48:51.179
 That's one religion

00:48:52.179 --> 00:48:54.179
 And it's a religion that's so common in this world

00:48:54.179 --> 00:48:55.179
 We don't need Jesus

00:48:56.179 --> 00:48:58.179
 It's about what we do, how we live

00:48:58.179 --> 00:48:59.179
 That we're good people

00:48:59.179 --> 00:49:00.179
 We live that we're good people

00:49:00.179 --> 00:49:01.179
 All of these things

00:49:02.179 --> 00:49:03.179
 But that's not what counts

00:49:04.179 --> 00:49:05.179
 Through religion

00:49:06.179 --> 00:49:08.179
 Is found through faith in Jesus Christ

00:49:09.179 --> 00:49:12.179
 Believing in something that was done by another

00:49:13.179 --> 00:49:15.179
 But we couldn't do ourselves

00:49:16.179 --> 00:49:19.179
 We couldn't save ourselves from our sins

00:49:20.179 --> 00:49:23.179
 But that's why Jesus said

00:49:24.179 --> 00:49:25.179
 It is finished

00:49:25.179 --> 00:49:26.179
 It is done

00:49:26.179 --> 00:49:26.179


00:49:26.179 --> 00:49:27.179
 It is done

00:49:28.179 --> 00:49:31.179
 And that's why we need help from Jesus

00:49:32.179 --> 00:49:34.179
 To open our minds to understand these scriptures

00:49:35.179 --> 00:49:38.179
 To understand all that is written

00:49:39.179 --> 00:49:41.179
 Jesus paid it all

00:49:42.179 --> 00:49:43.179
 All to him I owe

00:49:44.179 --> 00:49:46.179
 Sin had left a crimson stain

00:49:47.179 --> 00:49:50.179
 He washed it white as snow

00:49:51.179 --> 00:49:53.179
 That's what the hymn writer says

00:49:53.179 --> 00:49:56.179
 Jesus paid it all

00:49:57.179 --> 00:49:59.179
 We all like a good bargain

00:50:00.179 --> 00:50:01.179
 We all look for the best deal

00:50:02.179 --> 00:50:02.179


00:50:03.179 --> 00:50:05.179
 Is that how you're living your life?

00:50:06.179 --> 00:50:08.179
 Looking for cheap grace

00:50:09.179 --> 00:50:09.179


00:50:10.179 --> 00:50:12.179
 Somebody wants to put it like this

00:50:13.179 --> 00:50:15.179
 There are no victories at discount prices

00:50:16.179 --> 00:50:18.179
 Jesus paid it all

00:50:19.179 --> 00:50:22.179
 It is finished

00:50:23.179 --> 00:50:25.179
 Do you believe this?

00:50:26.179 --> 00:50:27.179
 God

00:50:27.179 --> 00:50:28.179
 had a plan

00:50:29.179 --> 00:50:30.179
 He put his plan

00:50:31.179 --> 00:50:32.179
 into action

00:50:33.179 --> 00:50:34.179
 This plan

00:50:35.179 --> 00:50:36.179
 is completed

00:50:37.179 --> 00:50:38.179
 Do you believe it?

00:50:39.179 --> 00:50:41.179
 What has Jesus done?

00:50:42.179 --> 00:50:43.179
 He said he would come

00:50:44.179 --> 00:50:45.179
 We can say

00:50:46.179 --> 00:50:47.179
 Tetelestai

00:50:47.179 --> 00:50:48.179
 Finished

00:50:48.179 --> 00:50:48.179


00:50:48.179 --> 00:50:50.179
 He said I will die

00:50:50.179 --> 00:50:53.179
 We can say Tetelestai

00:50:53.179 --> 00:50:55.179
 It is finished

00:50:56.179 --> 00:50:58.179
 He said I will resurrect

00:50:59.179 --> 00:51:00.179
 We can say Tetelestai

00:51:00.179 --> 00:51:01.179
 It is finished

00:51:02.179 --> 00:51:04.179
 There's one part yet

00:51:05.179 --> 00:51:09.179
 He said I will come again

00:51:09.179 --> 00:51:11.179
 It is time

00:51:12.179 --> 00:51:12.179


00:51:13.179 --> 00:51:14.179
 To get ready

00:51:15.179 --> 00:51:16.179
 And to believe

00:51:17.179 --> 00:51:18.179
 That God's plan

00:51:18.179 --> 00:51:18.179


00:51:19.179 --> 00:51:20.179
 The instructions

00:51:21.179 --> 00:51:21.179


00:51:22.179 --> 00:51:24.179
 Now help us Lord

00:51:25.179 --> 00:51:26.179
 To understand

00:51:26.179 --> 00:51:27.179
 These scriptures

00:51:28.179 --> 00:51:29.179
 And to believe

00:51:30.179 --> 00:51:31.179
 That all is done

00:51:32.179 --> 00:51:33.179
 All is paid

00:51:34.179 --> 00:51:35.179
 He is risen

00:51:35.179 --> 00:51:36.179
 And he will come

00:51:36.179 --> 00:51:38.179
 Let us pray

00:51:38.179 --> 00:51:41.179
 Our Father in heaven

00:51:41.179 --> 00:51:42.179
 We do rejoice

00:51:43.179 --> 00:51:44.179
 In all that is done for us

00:51:45.179 --> 00:51:46.179
 That it is finished

00:51:47.179 --> 00:51:48.179
 That the price is paid in full

00:51:49.179 --> 00:51:50.179
 And we ask

00:51:50.179 --> 00:51:51.179
 O Lord today

00:51:51.179 --> 00:51:52.179
 That you will help us

00:51:52.179 --> 00:51:53.179
 To understand these scriptures

00:51:54.179 --> 00:51:55.179
 So that our hearts

00:51:55.179 --> 00:51:56.179
 May burn within us

00:51:56.179 --> 00:51:57.179
 And rejoice

00:51:57.179 --> 00:51:58.179
 In the hope that is found

00:51:58.179 --> 00:51:59.179
 In Jesus Christ

00:52:00.179 --> 00:52:02.179
 The one who defeated death

00:52:03.179 --> 00:52:04.179
 Who rose from the grave

00:52:04.179 --> 00:52:05.179
 Who was ascended on high

00:52:06.179 --> 00:52:07.179
 And the one who will come again

00:52:08.179 --> 00:52:09.179
 Hear our prayers

00:52:09.179 --> 00:52:10.179
 And continue with us

00:52:11.179 --> 00:52:11.179


00:52:12.179 --> 00:52:13.179
 We ask in his precious name

00:52:13.179 --> 00:52:13.179


00:52:17.179 --> 00:52:18.179
 We're going to conclude

00:52:19.179 --> 00:52:20.179
 By singing to God's praise

00:52:21.179 --> 00:52:22.179
 In Psalm 33

00:52:23.179 --> 00:52:24.179
 In the Scottish Psalter

00:52:24.179 --> 00:52:25.179
 We'll sing from verse 8

00:52:25.179 --> 00:52:27.179
 To verse 11

00:52:30.179 --> 00:52:31.179
 Page 245

00:52:31.179 --> 00:52:32.179
 Of the Psalm books

00:52:33.179 --> 00:52:33.179


00:52:34.179 --> 00:52:36.179
 At verse 8

00:52:37.179 --> 00:52:38.179
 This Psalm reminds us

00:52:39.179 --> 00:52:40.179
 That the word of God

00:52:40.179 --> 00:52:41.179
 Is true

00:52:41.179 --> 00:52:42.179
 It stands forever

00:52:43.179 --> 00:52:45.179
 Let earth and all

00:52:45.179 --> 00:52:46.179
 That live therein

00:52:46.179 --> 00:52:47.179
 With reverence fear the Lord

00:52:48.179 --> 00:52:49.179
 Let all the world's

00:52:49.179 --> 00:52:49.179


00:52:50.179 --> 00:52:51.179
 Thread him with one accord

00:52:52.179 --> 00:52:53.179
 For he did speak the word

00:52:53.179 --> 00:52:54.179
 And done

00:52:54.179 --> 00:52:55.179
 It was without delay

00:52:55.179 --> 00:52:56.179
 Establish it

00:52:56.179 --> 00:52:57.179
 It firmly stood

00:52:57.179 --> 00:52:59.179
 Whatever he did see

00:53:00.179 --> 00:53:01.179
 We'll sing from verse 8

00:53:01.179 --> 00:53:02.179
 To 11

00:53:02.179 --> 00:53:03.179
 We stand to sing

00:53:03.179 --> 00:53:04.179
 To God's praise

00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:05.179


00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:05.179


00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:05.179


00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:05.179


00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:05.179


00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:05.179


00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:05.179


00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:06.179
 Let voyance

00:53:06.179 --> 00:53:06.179


00:53:06.179 --> 00:53:07.179
 Let voyance

00:53:07.179 --> 00:53:08.179
 Let voyance

00:53:08.179 --> 00:53:08.179


00:53:08.179 --> 00:53:08.179


00:53:08.179 --> 00:53:09.179
 Let voyance

00:53:09.179 --> 00:53:13.179
 Let voyance

00:53:13.179 --> 00:53:13.179


00:53:13.179 --> 00:53:13.179


00:53:13.179 --> 00:53:13.179


00:53:13.179 --> 00:53:15.179
 Let voyance

00:53:15.179 --> 00:53:15.179


00:53:15.179 --> 00:53:15.179


00:53:15.179 --> 00:53:15.179


00:53:15.179 --> 00:53:15.179


00:53:15.179 --> 00:53:16.179
 Let voyance

00:53:16.179 --> 00:53:25.219
 Let voyance

00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:25.219


00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:27.219
 Let voyance

00:53:27.219 --> 00:53:35.659
 Let Him with one accord.

00:53:35.659 --> 00:53:42.839
 For He did speak the word undone,

00:53:43.099 --> 00:53:47.980
 it was without delay.

00:53:50.439 --> 00:53:56.079
 Establish it, it firmly stood

00:53:56.079 --> 00:54:02.619
 whatever he did say.

00:54:02.619 --> 00:54:10.619
 What love the council bring to naught

00:54:10.619 --> 00:54:16.860
 which He then hoped to take?

00:54:17.319 --> 00:54:24.099
 And what the people do delight

00:54:24.099 --> 00:54:30.639
 of the defective day?

00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:37.179
 Oh, that the council of the Lord

00:54:37.179 --> 00:54:43.719
 does stand forever sure

00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:50.259
 and all His heart the purposes

00:54:50.259 --> 00:54:56.259

00:54:56.260 --> 00:54:56.720
 Amen.

00:54:56.720 --> 00:55:00.720
 After the benediction, I'll go to the main door.

00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:02.000
 We'll close the benediction.

00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:05.739
 Now may grace, mercy, and peace from God,

00:55:05.940 --> 00:55:07.920
 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:10.599
 rest upon and abide with you all

00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:12.199
 now and forevermore.

00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:13.039
 Amen.

00:55:18.739 --> 00:55:19.739
 Amen.

00:55:19.779 --> 00:55:22.279
 Amen.

00:55:22.279 --> 00:55:26.279
 Amen.

00:55:26.279 --> 00:55:26.279


00:55:26.279 --> 00:55:26.279


00:55:26.279 --> 00:55:26.279

 Amen.

00:55:40.779 --> 00:55:40.779


00:55:40.779 --> 00:55:40.779


00:55:40.779 --> 00:55:40.779


00:55:40.779 --> 00:55:40.779
