00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:06.740
 We begin singing to God's praise in Psalm 125, Psalm 125.

00:00:11.980 --> 00:00:18.019
 And this is from the Scottish Psalter, Psalm 125 in the Scottish Psalter.

00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:25.879
 They in the Lord that firmly trust shall be like Zion Hill,

00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:30.140
 which at no time can be removed but standeth ever still.

00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:34.259
 As round about Jerusalem the mountains stand always.

00:00:34.939 --> 00:00:38.899
 The Lord his folk doth compass so from henceforth and foray.

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.140
 For ill men's rod upon the lot of just men shall not lie,

00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:47.539
 lest righteous men stretch forth their hands unto iniquity.

00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:52.560
 Do thou to all those that be good thy goodness, Lord, impart.

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.679
 And do thou good to those that are upright within their heart.

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:01.180
 But as for such as turn aside after their crooked way,

00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.079
 God shall lead forth with wicked men on Israel.

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:06.780
 Peace shall stay.

00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:08.320
 We'll sing the whole Psalm 125,

00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:10.640
 They in the Lord that firmly trust.

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:31.640
 In the Lord that firmly trust shall be like Zion Hill,

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:40.640
 Which heart of God can be removed,

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:48.379
 But standeth ever still.

00:01:48.379 --> 00:02:04.379
 And round about Jerusalem the mountains stand always.

00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:14.379
 The Lord his folk doth come us all,

00:02:14.379 --> 00:02:19.379
 From men's work and foray.

00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:32.840
 For ill men's rod upon the lot,

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:40.379
 All trust men shall not lie,

00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:56.379
 Lest righteous men stretch forth their hands unto iniquity.

00:02:56.379 --> 00:03:06.379
 Good love to all those that be good,

00:03:06.379 --> 00:03:14.379
 My goodness, Lord, impart.

00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:24.379
 And do thou good to those that are upright,

00:03:24.379 --> 00:03:32.379
 And do thou good to those that are upright within their heart.

00:03:32.379 --> 00:03:48.379
 But as for such as turn aside after their crooked way,

00:03:48.379 --> 00:03:54.379
 God shall lead forth with wicked men,

00:03:54.379 --> 00:04:06.379
 All Israel peace shall stay.

00:04:06.379 --> 00:04:10.379
 Let us pray.

00:04:10.379 --> 00:04:14.379
 O Lord, we bow before you today,

00:04:14.379 --> 00:04:16.379
 Giving thanks that we have this day

00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:21.379
 Where we're able to come aside from all the other things of life,

00:04:21.379 --> 00:04:24.379
 And where we're able to think about you.

00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:29.379
 We give thanks, Lord, for the fact that you speak to us in your word,

00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:32.379
 And help us, Lord, to hear what you say to us.

00:04:32.379 --> 00:04:36.379
 Because you've given us this book, the Bible,

00:04:36.379 --> 00:04:38.379
 Which is the greatest book in the world.

00:04:38.379 --> 00:04:40.379
 And help us, Lord, to be reading it,

00:04:40.379 --> 00:04:43.379
 And help us, Lord, to understand it.

00:04:43.379 --> 00:04:46.379
 Because so often we can't understand without your help.

00:04:46.379 --> 00:04:50.379
 So we pray that you will help us in that.

00:04:50.379 --> 00:04:52.379
 We pray to bless us all here today,

00:04:52.379 --> 00:04:57.379
 From every age, from the very youngest to the oldest.

00:04:57.379 --> 00:05:00.379
 And we give thanks, Lord, that we can bring all our needs,

00:05:00.379 --> 00:05:05.379
 And all our worries, and everything that is down on us,

00:05:05.379 --> 00:05:09.379
 On our minds, and you're able to lift us up.

00:05:09.379 --> 00:05:11.379
 And we pray that we might hear you,

00:05:11.379 --> 00:05:15.379
 And that you will indeed speak loudly into our heart.

00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:19.379
 We pray to take away all the things that so often

00:05:19.379 --> 00:05:22.379
 Take away our mind from the truth.

00:05:22.379 --> 00:05:26.379
 And help us, Lord, to understand and to believe in you.

00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:30.379
 Pray your blessing, especially just now upon the young people.

00:05:30.379 --> 00:05:32.379
 We give thanks for them.

00:05:32.379 --> 00:05:35.379
 And we pray that they may all grow up to know you,

00:05:35.379 --> 00:05:37.379
 To love you, and to follow you.

00:05:37.379 --> 00:05:39.379
 Watch over us then, we pray,

00:05:39.379 --> 00:05:42.379
 And take away from us our sin.

00:05:42.379 --> 00:05:45.379
 In Jesus' name we ask it. Amen.

00:05:45.379 --> 00:05:46.379
 Amen.

00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:51.379
 I'm just going to say a wee word to the young folk.

00:05:51.379 --> 00:05:54.379
 I'm sure you know that crossing the road

00:05:54.379 --> 00:05:58.379
 Can be a very dangerous thing.

00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:01.379
 Because cars come very quickly.

00:06:01.379 --> 00:06:05.379
 And sometimes cars come and we didn't really see them.

00:06:05.379 --> 00:06:09.379
 So it's very, very important that we take a lot of care

00:06:09.379 --> 00:06:11.379
 When we cross the road.

00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:15.379
 There's what is known as the Green Cross Code.

00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:20.379
 I remember they used to put a lot of time talking about it.

00:06:20.379 --> 00:06:26.379
 And the Green Cross Code tells you to do four things.

00:06:26.379 --> 00:06:29.379
 Four things about crossing the road.

00:06:29.379 --> 00:06:30.379
 You're to think.

00:06:30.379 --> 00:06:32.379
 You're to stop.

00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:34.379
 You're to look.

00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:36.379
 And you're to listen.

00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:39.379
 First of all, you think,

00:06:39.379 --> 00:06:42.379
 Where's the best place to cross the road?

00:06:42.379 --> 00:06:46.379
 Well, you wouldn't cross the road at a busy junction

00:06:46.379 --> 00:06:49.379
 When there's cars coming up and down and across.

00:06:49.379 --> 00:06:51.379
 That would be silly.

00:06:51.379 --> 00:06:54.379
 So you think, where's the best place,

00:06:54.379 --> 00:06:56.379
 The safest place to cross?

00:06:56.379 --> 00:06:59.379
 So first of all, you think.

00:06:59.379 --> 00:07:02.379
 And then when you get to the place where you're going to cross,

00:07:02.379 --> 00:07:04.379
 You stop.

00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:08.379
 And then after you stop, you look and you listen.

00:07:08.379 --> 00:07:10.379
 It's not enough to listen.

00:07:10.379 --> 00:07:12.379
 Because just by listening,

00:07:12.379 --> 00:07:16.379
 There might be somebody coming on a bicycle very fast.

00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:18.379
 Or there might be an electric car.

00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:20.379
 And you wouldn't hear.

00:07:20.379 --> 00:07:22.379
 So yes, you've got to listen.

00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:24.379
 But you've also got to look.

00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:27.379
 And we're told that we're to look right.

00:07:27.379 --> 00:07:28.379
 We're to look left.

00:07:28.379 --> 00:07:30.379
 We're to look right again.

00:07:30.379 --> 00:07:34.379
 And if there's nothing coming, then we cross.

00:07:34.379 --> 00:07:38.379
 But you know, we should use the green cross code

00:07:38.379 --> 00:07:40.379
 With regard to God as well.

00:07:40.379 --> 00:07:46.379
 We should stop and look and listen and think.

00:07:46.379 --> 00:07:48.379
 I'm putting it in a different way.

00:07:48.379 --> 00:07:52.379
 Because the first thing we should do is stop.

00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:55.379
 Because we live very busy lives.

00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:57.379
 And even in the holidays, it's busy.

00:07:57.379 --> 00:07:59.379
 Because you're always doing different things.

00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:04.379
 And God wants us to stop at times.

00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:07.379
 That's one of the things He's done by giving us today.

00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:08.379
 God's day.

00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:09.379
 The Lord's day.

00:08:09.379 --> 00:08:10.379
 Sunday.

00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:12.379
 It's a day for us to stop.

00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:15.379
 And it's a day for us to think.

00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:20.379
 It's a day for us to listen to what God is saying to us.

00:08:20.379 --> 00:08:23.379
 Because God speaks to us in His Word.

00:08:23.379 --> 00:08:27.379
 And He tells us so many wonderful things.

00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:34.379
 And every day we have to look at the Bible and listen to what God is saying.

00:08:34.379 --> 00:08:36.379
 And we have to look.

00:08:36.379 --> 00:08:38.379
 We have to look to Jesus.

00:08:38.379 --> 00:08:40.379
 Because that's what the Bible says.

00:08:40.379 --> 00:08:43.379
 Look to me and be saved.

00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:46.379
 Look to Jesus and be saved.

00:08:46.379 --> 00:08:50.379
 You know, if you look up at night.

00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:52.379
 And you go out at night and it's dark.

00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:55.379
 And it's an open sky.

00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:59.379
 And you're somewhere where there maybe aren't too many streetlights.

00:08:59.379 --> 00:09:03.379
 When you look up at first, you'll see, maybe you'll see a few really bright stars.

00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:07.379
 And then you'll begin to see lots of other stars.

00:09:07.379 --> 00:09:12.379
 And the longer you look, you will see more and more.

00:09:12.379 --> 00:09:14.379
 And then you'll see, oh, there's hundreds of stars.

00:09:14.379 --> 00:09:17.379
 And then you'll see, there's thousands of stars.

00:09:17.379 --> 00:09:21.379
 Well, we know that there's even more than thousands.

00:09:21.379 --> 00:09:26.379
 There's millions and probably billions, billions of stars.

00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:35.379
 And even people with the best telescope in the world can't work out all the stars that are there.

00:09:35.379 --> 00:09:46.379
 But you know, the Bible tells us that one of the men who wrote the Psalms, helped by God to say what to put down.

00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:58.379
 He said, when I look up to the heavens, to the sky, which your own fingers framed, and to the moon and to the stars, which were by your ordained you, Lord, put these things there.

00:09:58.379 --> 00:10:05.379
 And you know, the Bible also tells us that God counts the number of stars.

00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:08.379
 And he names them one by one.

00:10:08.379 --> 00:10:14.379
 So, by looking, we see the wonder of God.

00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:28.379
 So, every day we should be in the way of thinking about God, stopping to think, stopping to look, because we see so much of God everywhere.

00:10:28.379 --> 00:10:34.379
 And every day listening to what God says to us.

00:10:34.379 --> 00:10:37.379
 So, you remember that green cross code.

00:10:37.379 --> 00:10:40.379
 Yes, for crossing the road, very important.

00:10:40.379 --> 00:10:48.379
 But also, every day with regard to God, stop, look, listen, think.

00:10:48.379 --> 00:10:50.379
 We're now going to say the Lord's Prayer.

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:55.379
 Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

00:10:55.379 --> 00:11:00.379
 Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:07.379
 Give us this day your daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:12.379
 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

00:11:12.379 --> 00:11:17.379
 For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever.

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:18.379
 Amen.

00:11:18.379 --> 00:11:23.379
 We're going to sing again from Psalm 32.

00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:26.379
 And this is from Sing Psalm, Psalm 32.

00:11:26.379 --> 00:11:27.379
 The tune is Arlington.

00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:35.379
 Psalm 32, and we sing verses 1 to 7.

00:11:35.379 --> 00:11:38.379
 The tune is Arlington.

00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:44.379
 How blessed the one who has received forgiveness for his sin,

00:11:44.379 --> 00:11:50.379
 whose sins are covered from God's face, whose debt is cancelled in God's grace.

00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:52.379
 There's no deceit in him.

00:11:52.379 --> 00:11:57.379
 When I kept silent, all my bones with groaning were worn out.

00:11:57.379 --> 00:11:59.379
 Beneath your hand I felt entrapped.

00:11:59.379 --> 00:12:05.379
 Both day and night my strength was sapped, as in a summer drought.

00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:09.379
 Then I laid bare my sin to you, the guilt that lay within.

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:14.379
 I said, O Lord, I have transgressed, and you forgave when I confessed.

00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:17.379
 You pardoned all my sin.

00:12:17.379 --> 00:12:20.379
 So let the godly pray to you while you are to be found.

00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:25.379
 Surely when waves are sweeping past and mighty waters rising fast,

00:12:25.379 --> 00:12:29.379
 you'll keep them safe and sound.

00:12:29.379 --> 00:12:34.379
 To the end of verse 7, 5 stands as Psalm 32 to the tune Arlington.

00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:39.379
 O bless the one who has received.

00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:43.379
 O bless the one who has received.

00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:51.379
 O bless the one who has received.

00:12:51.379 --> 00:12:52.379
 O bless the one who has received.

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:53.379
 O bless the one who has received.

00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:59.379
 For illness, for his sin.

00:12:59.379 --> 00:13:08.379
 Whose sins are covered from God's face.

00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:16.379
 Whose debt is cancelled in God's grace.

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:23.379
 There's no deceit in him

00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:32.379
 When I can't silence all my bones

00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:39.379
 With rolling wherefore not

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:49.419
 Bring your hand, thy belt and track

00:13:49.419 --> 00:13:57.379
 Both day and night, my strength was up

00:13:58.299 --> 00:14:05.379
 As in a summer drought

00:14:05.379 --> 00:14:14.879
 Then I made clear my sin to you

00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:21.379
 The guilt that lay within

00:14:21.379 --> 00:14:31.519
 I said, O Lord, I have lost grace

00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:40.019
 And you forgive when I confess

00:14:41.019 --> 00:14:47.519
 You pardon all my sin

00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:57.019
 So let the glory bring to you

00:14:57.019 --> 00:15:04.019
 While you are to be found

00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:13.519
 Surely when waves are sweeping past

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:22.019
 And mighty waters rising fast

00:15:22.019 --> 00:15:29.519
 You'll keep them safe and sound

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:38.519
 You are my hiding place, O Lord

00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:48.019
 My true security

00:15:48.019 --> 00:15:54.519
 You give me safe and troubled days

00:15:55.019 --> 00:16:02.019
 You circle me with joyful bliss

00:16:02.019 --> 00:16:11.519
 When you have set me free

00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:19.960
 Let's turn now to read God's word

00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.299
 And we read it in Matthew's Gospel

00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:24.960
 Matthew chapter 24

00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:36.600
 Matthew chapter 24

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:37.460
 Matthew chapter 24

00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:41.460
 Matthew chapter 24

00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:46.480
 And we'll read to the end of verse 31

00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.259
 Jesus left the temple and was going away

00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:53.220
 When his disciples came to point out to him

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:54.460
 The buildings of the temple

00:16:54.460 --> 00:16:56.300
 But he answered them

00:16:56.300 --> 00:16:57.700
 You see all these

00:16:57.700 --> 00:16:59.500
 Do you not?

00:17:00.160 --> 00:17:01.560
 Truly I say to you

00:17:01.560 --> 00:17:03.379
 There will not be left here

00:17:03.379 --> 00:17:05.220
 One stone upon another

00:17:05.220 --> 00:17:06.920
 That will not be thrown down

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.960
 As he sat on the Mount of Olives

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:12.079
 The disciples came to him privately

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:12.840
 Saying, Tell us

00:17:12.840 --> 00:17:14.920
 When will these things be?

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:16.660
 And what will be the sign

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:17.319
 Of your coming

00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:18.680
 And of the close of the age?

00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:21.079
 Jesus answered them

00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.420
 See that no one leads you astray

00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:25.840
 For many will come in my name

00:17:25.840 --> 00:17:27.759
 Saying, I am the Christ

00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:29.900
 And they will lead many astray

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:32.080
 And you will hear of wars

00:17:32.080 --> 00:17:33.340
 And rumors of wars

00:17:33.340 --> 00:17:35.560
 See that you are not alarmed

00:17:35.560 --> 00:17:37.500
 For this must take place

00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:39.300
 But the end is not yet

00:17:39.300 --> 00:17:42.240
 For nation will rise against nation

00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:43.759
 And kingdom against kingdom

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.600
 And there will be famines

00:17:45.600 --> 00:17:47.400
 And earthquakes in various places

00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.560
 All these are but the beginning

00:17:50.560 --> 00:17:51.980
 Of the birth pains

00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:54.820
 Then they will deliver you up

00:17:54.820 --> 00:17:55.720
 To tribulation

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:56.820
 And put you to death

00:17:56.820 --> 00:17:58.540
 And you will be hated

00:17:58.540 --> 00:17:59.600
 By all nations

00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:01.100
 For my name's sake

00:18:01.100 --> 00:18:04.140
 And then many will fall away

00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:05.720
 And betray one another

00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:07.360
 And hate one another

00:18:07.360 --> 00:18:09.500
 And many false prophets

00:18:09.500 --> 00:18:10.180
 Will arise

00:18:10.180 --> 00:18:11.980
 And lead many astray

00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:14.319
 And because lawlessness

00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:15.660
 Will be increased

00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:17.120
 The love of many

00:18:17.120 --> 00:18:18.140
 Will grow cold

00:18:18.140 --> 00:18:20.039
 But the one who endures

00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:20.620
 To the end

00:18:20.620 --> 00:18:21.460
 Will be saved

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:23.400
 And this gospel

00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:24.099
 Of the kingdom

00:18:24.099 --> 00:18:25.620
 Will be proclaimed

00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:27.039
 Throughout the whole world

00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:28.500
 As a testimony

00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:29.519
 To all nations

00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:31.039
 And then the end

00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:31.539
 Will come

00:18:31.539 --> 00:18:33.559
 So when you see

00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:34.220
 The abomination

00:18:34.220 --> 00:18:35.319
 Of desolation

00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:36.220
 Spoken of

00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:37.339
 By the prophet Daniel

00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:39.620
 Standing in the holy place

00:18:39.619 --> 00:18:41.839
 Let the reader understand

00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.679
 Then let those

00:18:44.679 --> 00:18:45.699
 Who are in Judea

00:18:45.699 --> 00:18:46.859
 Flee to the mountains

00:18:46.859 --> 00:18:48.419
 Let the one

00:18:48.419 --> 00:18:49.539
 Who is on the housetop

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:50.339
 Not go down

00:18:50.339 --> 00:18:51.739
 To take what is in his house

00:18:51.739 --> 00:18:53.879
 And let the one

00:18:53.879 --> 00:18:54.719
 Who is in the field

00:18:54.719 --> 00:18:56.339
 Not turn back

00:18:56.339 --> 00:18:57.399
 To take his cloak

00:18:57.399 --> 00:18:59.659
 And I'll ask for women

00:18:59.659 --> 00:19:00.559
 Who are pregnant

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:01.419
 And for those

00:19:01.419 --> 00:19:02.479
 Who are nursing infants

00:19:02.479 --> 00:19:03.519
 In those days

00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:05.899
 Pray that your flight

00:19:05.899 --> 00:19:07.699
 May not be in winter

00:19:07.699 --> 00:19:09.239
 Or on a Sabbath

00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:11.960
 But then there will be

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:13.019
 Great tribulation

00:19:13.019 --> 00:19:14.940
 Such as has not been

00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:15.700
 From the beginning

00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:16.319
 Of the world

00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:17.160
 Until now

00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:18.420
 No one ever will be

00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:20.500
 And if those days

00:19:20.500 --> 00:19:21.859
 Had not been cut short

00:19:21.859 --> 00:19:23.599
 No human being

00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:24.400
 Would be saved

00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:26.160
 But for the sake

00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:26.880
 Of the elect

00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:28.019
 Those days

00:19:28.019 --> 00:19:29.140
 Will be cut short

00:19:29.140 --> 00:19:30.980
 Then if anyone

00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:31.720
 Says to you

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.359
 Look here

00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:33.099
 Is a Christ

00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:34.339
 Or there he is

00:19:34.339 --> 00:19:35.319
 Do not believe

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:37.460
 For false prophets

00:19:37.460 --> 00:19:38.660
 False Christs

00:19:38.660 --> 00:19:39.700
 And false prophets

00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:40.960
 Will arise

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:41.779
 And perform

00:19:41.779 --> 00:19:42.740
 Great signs

00:19:42.740 --> 00:19:43.539
 And wonders

00:19:43.539 --> 00:19:45.340
 So as to lead

00:19:45.340 --> 00:19:46.120
 If possible

00:19:46.120 --> 00:19:47.160
 Even the elect

00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:48.220
 To lead astray

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:50.759
 See I have told you

00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:51.600
 Beforehand

00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:53.920
 So if they say to you

00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:54.319
 Look

00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:55.740
 He is in the wilderness

00:19:55.740 --> 00:19:57.160
 Do not go out

00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:58.640
 If they say

00:19:58.640 --> 00:19:59.039
 Look

00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:01.140
 He is in the inner rooms

00:20:01.140 --> 00:20:02.799
 Do not believe it

00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:04.599
 For as the lightning

00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:06.019
 Comes from the east

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:07.859
 And shines as far

00:20:07.859 --> 00:20:08.559
 As the west

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:10.440
 So will be the coming

00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:11.399
 Of the son of man

00:20:11.399 --> 00:20:13.839
 Wherever the corpse is

00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:15.299
 There the vultures

00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:15.879
 Will gather

00:20:15.879 --> 00:20:17.579
 Immediately

00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:19.139
 After the tribulation

00:20:19.139 --> 00:20:20.159
 Of those days

00:20:20.159 --> 00:20:21.519
 When the sun

00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:22.579
 Will be darkened

00:20:22.579 --> 00:20:23.399
 And the moon

00:20:23.399 --> 00:20:24.759
 Will not give its light

00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:26.299
 And the stars

00:20:26.299 --> 00:20:27.460
 Will fall from heaven

00:20:27.460 --> 00:20:28.839
 And the powers

00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:29.440
 Of the heavens

00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:30.200
 Will be shaken

00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:32.100
 Then will appear

00:20:32.100 --> 00:20:32.620
 In heaven

00:20:32.620 --> 00:20:33.440
 The sign

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.400
 Of the son of man

00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:36.440
 And then all the tribes

00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:37.039
 Of the earth

00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:37.720
 Will mourn

00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:39.279
 And they will see

00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:40.100
 The son of man

00:20:40.100 --> 00:20:41.160
 Coming on the clouds

00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:41.700
 Of heaven

00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:43.120
 With power

00:20:43.120 --> 00:20:44.140
 And great glory

00:20:44.140 --> 00:20:45.900
 And he will send

00:20:45.900 --> 00:20:46.720
 Out his angels

00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.319
 With a loud trumpet call

00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:49.840
 And they will gather

00:20:49.840 --> 00:20:50.440
 His elect

00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:51.600
 From the four winds

00:20:51.600 --> 00:20:53.180
 From one end

00:20:53.180 --> 00:20:53.660
 Of heaven

00:20:53.660 --> 00:20:54.840
 To the other

00:20:54.840 --> 00:20:55.860
 Amen

00:20:55.860 --> 00:20:56.319
 And may God

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:57.019
 Bless to us

00:20:57.019 --> 00:20:57.920
 This reading

00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:58.860
 Of his holy word

00:20:58.859 --> 00:20:59.919
 Let us again

00:20:59.919 --> 00:21:00.879
 Bow in prayer

00:21:00.879 --> 00:21:02.599
 Amen

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:04.759
 O Lord

00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:05.779
 As we bow

00:21:05.779 --> 00:21:06.639
 In your presence

00:21:06.639 --> 00:21:07.599
 And as we've

00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:08.539
 Come under your word

00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:09.259
 We've sung it

00:21:09.259 --> 00:21:09.859
 And read it

00:21:09.859 --> 00:21:11.339
 We pray that

00:21:11.339 --> 00:21:12.199
 This word

00:21:12.199 --> 00:21:13.099
 Of yours

00:21:13.099 --> 00:21:13.759
 May indeed

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:15.199
 Lodge deep

00:21:15.199 --> 00:21:16.059
 Within our heart

00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:17.619
 We know that

00:21:17.619 --> 00:21:18.059
 Your word

00:21:18.059 --> 00:21:19.019
 Is transforming

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:21.399
 And it changes lives

00:21:21.399 --> 00:21:22.019
 And we pray

00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:22.879
 That our lives

00:21:22.879 --> 00:21:23.759
 Might be changed

00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:24.459
 More and more

00:21:24.459 --> 00:21:25.000
 By it

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:26.839
 Those who

00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:28.159
 Still don't know you

00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:29.180
 That your word

00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:29.740
 Will today

00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:30.820
 Change their lives

00:21:30.820 --> 00:21:31.300
 So that they

00:21:31.300 --> 00:21:31.960
 Will come to

00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:33.019
 Follow you

00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:34.680
 And those who

00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:36.100
 Already are following you

00:21:36.100 --> 00:21:37.500
 We still need

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:38.220
 That our lives

00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:39.019
 Will be changed

00:21:39.019 --> 00:21:39.600
 And renewed

00:21:39.600 --> 00:21:40.420
 Day by day

00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:42.380
 We give thanks

00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:42.880
 O Lord

00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:43.940
 That you are the God

00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:45.320
 Of heaven

00:21:45.320 --> 00:21:46.040
 And of earth

00:21:46.040 --> 00:21:47.340
 The God

00:21:47.340 --> 00:21:48.000
 Who ultimately

00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.640
 Controls all things

00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:51.279
 And we see

00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:52.460
 Even as we read there

00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:54.259
 That we are living

00:21:54.259 --> 00:21:55.380
 In times

00:21:55.380 --> 00:21:56.200
 Where nation

00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:56.840
 Is rising

00:21:56.840 --> 00:21:57.720
 Against nation

00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:58.340
 And kingdom

00:21:58.340 --> 00:21:59.300
 Against kingdom

00:21:59.300 --> 00:22:00.800
 We are seeing

00:22:00.800 --> 00:22:01.520
 The earthquakes

00:22:01.520 --> 00:22:02.300
 And the famines

00:22:02.300 --> 00:22:02.960
 All round

00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:04.720
 And these are things

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:05.400
 That you spoke

00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:07.140
 About 2000 years ago

00:22:07.140 --> 00:22:08.580
 Which would be

00:22:08.580 --> 00:22:09.780
 Just as it were

00:22:09.780 --> 00:22:10.700
 At the very beginning

00:22:10.700 --> 00:22:12.020
 Of the end

00:22:12.020 --> 00:22:13.560
 Help us then

00:22:13.560 --> 00:22:13.900
 Lord

00:22:13.900 --> 00:22:14.740
 To live

00:22:14.740 --> 00:22:16.020
 In the light

00:22:16.020 --> 00:22:17.260
 Of your coming again

00:22:17.260 --> 00:22:18.820
 Help us Lord

00:22:18.820 --> 00:22:20.240
 To have an expectancy

00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:21.600
 And help us

00:22:21.600 --> 00:22:22.280
 To have a vision

00:22:22.280 --> 00:22:23.340
 Beyond the here

00:22:23.339 --> 00:22:23.779
 And now

00:22:23.779 --> 00:22:25.459
 So that there might

00:22:25.459 --> 00:22:26.259
 Be more of heaven

00:22:26.259 --> 00:22:27.039
 In our lives

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.720
 Than of earth

00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.259
 And that we might

00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:30.240
 Seek to follow you

00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:31.240
 With all our heart

00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:33.279
 Forgive us Lord

00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:34.519
 For when we're lukewarm

00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:36.199
 Forgive us Lord

00:22:36.199 --> 00:22:37.059
 For when we don't

00:22:37.059 --> 00:22:37.559
 Follow you

00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:38.359
 In the right way

00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:40.319
 Forgive us O Lord

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:42.139
 For when we say

00:22:42.139 --> 00:22:42.740
 And do

00:22:42.740 --> 00:22:44.099
 And think things

00:22:44.099 --> 00:22:45.039
 Which are so

00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:46.459
 Contrary to your word

00:22:46.459 --> 00:22:48.579
 Forgive us Lord

00:22:48.579 --> 00:22:49.899
 For how complacent

00:22:49.899 --> 00:22:51.480
 We so often become

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:52.319
 In the society

00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:53.279
 That we live in

00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:54.879
 And where we become

00:22:54.879 --> 00:22:55.980
 Used to

00:22:55.980 --> 00:22:57.819
 The way things are

00:22:57.819 --> 00:22:59.339
 Help us Lord

00:22:59.339 --> 00:23:00.240
 To always see

00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:01.680
 That your word

00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:02.500
 Is the standard

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:03.680
 By which we ought

00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:04.160
 To live

00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:05.720
 Because it is

00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:06.879
 According to your word

00:23:06.879 --> 00:23:08.279
 That we will glorify you

00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:09.700
 And we're told

00:23:09.700 --> 00:23:11.279
 That that is

00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:12.379
 The chief purpose

00:23:12.379 --> 00:23:14.180
 Of our being here

00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:15.960
 We pray then

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:16.720
 That you will bless

00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:17.700
 Every single one

00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:18.660
 Of us here today

00:23:18.660 --> 00:23:19.859
 As we come

00:23:19.859 --> 00:23:20.759
 With all our own

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.859
 Individuality

00:23:21.859 --> 00:23:23.099
 With all our own

00:23:23.099 --> 00:23:24.219
 Needs and worries

00:23:24.219 --> 00:23:25.319
 Concerns

00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:26.740
 With our hopes

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.879
 And aspirations

00:23:27.879 --> 00:23:29.159
 With our longings

00:23:29.159 --> 00:23:30.699
 And we pray

00:23:30.699 --> 00:23:31.919
 That we might be

00:23:31.919 --> 00:23:33.659
 Always going to you

00:23:33.659 --> 00:23:34.479
 With everything

00:23:34.479 --> 00:23:36.619
 We're told in your word

00:23:36.619 --> 00:23:37.639
 That in everything

00:23:37.639 --> 00:23:38.539
 By prayer

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:39.959
 And supplication

00:23:39.959 --> 00:23:40.919
 With thanksgiving

00:23:40.919 --> 00:23:42.399
 Let your requests

00:23:42.399 --> 00:23:43.159
 Be made known

00:23:43.159 --> 00:23:43.779
 To God

00:23:43.779 --> 00:23:45.099
 There's nothing

00:23:45.099 --> 00:23:45.700
 Too big

00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:46.599
 Or nothing

00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:47.359
 Too small

00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:48.940
 To bring to you

00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:49.920
 And so we pray

00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:50.720
 For the faith

00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:52.000
 That every day

00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.980
 We will do that

00:23:52.980 --> 00:23:54.240
 And that we will

00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:55.259
 Look for the answer

00:23:55.259 --> 00:23:57.259
 So often we pray

00:23:57.259 --> 00:23:58.460
 But we don't see

00:23:58.460 --> 00:23:59.039
 The answer

00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:00.200
 Because we're not looking

00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:01.660
 Because sometimes

00:24:01.660 --> 00:24:02.299
 Your answers

00:24:02.299 --> 00:24:02.920
 Are different

00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:03.680
 To the way

00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:04.660
 That we expect

00:24:04.660 --> 00:24:06.399
 And so we pray

00:24:06.399 --> 00:24:07.399
 That we might have

00:24:07.399 --> 00:24:08.819
 Spiritual eyes

00:24:08.819 --> 00:24:09.379
 To see

00:24:09.379 --> 00:24:10.980
 Help us to see

00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:11.920
 You in everything

00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:13.339
 And to see

00:24:13.339 --> 00:24:14.120
 That you are

00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:14.920
 In everything

00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:16.339
 Help us always

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:17.000
 To remember

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:17.819
 That it's in you

00:24:17.819 --> 00:24:18.500
 That we live

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:19.180
 And move

00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:20.099
 And have our being

00:24:20.099 --> 00:24:21.880
 And so we pray

00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:23.240
 That you'll be near to us

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:24.640
 And that you'll open

00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:25.240
 Our hearts

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:25.960
 To your word

00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:27.339
 That your spirit

00:24:27.339 --> 00:24:28.700
 Will be present with us

00:24:28.700 --> 00:24:30.339
 That we'll be conscious

00:24:30.339 --> 00:24:31.720
 That the Lord is here

00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:33.640
 We know from your word

00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:34.319
 That you are

00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:35.579
 But make us

00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:36.759
 Aware of it

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.599
 That we may

00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:38.940
 Have a sense

00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:40.640
 A felt sense

00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:41.520
 Of your presence

00:24:41.520 --> 00:24:43.259
 Pray to bless

00:24:43.259 --> 00:24:43.940
 Every home

00:24:43.940 --> 00:24:44.900
 And every family

00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:46.720
 We pray for those

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:47.500
 Who are in need

00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:48.960
 For those who are

00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:49.400
 Going through

00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:50.620
 Really difficult times

00:24:50.620 --> 00:24:51.740
 And hard times

00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:53.300
 Lord we pray

00:24:53.300 --> 00:24:54.160
 For those who are

00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:55.580
 Ill and seriously ill

00:24:55.580 --> 00:24:56.820
 Lord today

00:24:56.820 --> 00:24:57.860
 We remember Francis

00:24:57.860 --> 00:24:59.500
 And all the family

00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:00.740
 She's very very

00:25:00.740 --> 00:25:01.920
 Seriously ill

00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:03.100
 We commit her

00:25:03.100 --> 00:25:03.860
 To your care

00:25:03.860 --> 00:25:04.620
 At this time

00:25:04.620 --> 00:25:06.200
 And we do so

00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:07.120
 With all who are

00:25:07.120 --> 00:25:08.740
 Going through

00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:10.500
 That momentous time

00:25:10.500 --> 00:25:11.900
 Where they are

00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:12.920
 Facing the

00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:14.839
 Going to death's

00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:15.539
 Dark veil

00:25:15.539 --> 00:25:17.019
 Oh Lord we pray

00:25:17.019 --> 00:25:17.980
 That as a shepherd

00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:19.380
 Who has led

00:25:19.380 --> 00:25:20.700
 In the green pastures

00:25:20.700 --> 00:25:21.920
 And by the still water

00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:23.480
 That you will be

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:24.460
 Where you have promised

00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:25.839
 To be

00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:27.920
 In death's

00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:28.559
 Dark veil

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:30.000
 With your rod

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:30.920
 And with your staff

00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:31.680
 To support

00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:32.440
 And to comfort

00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.299
 We pray Lord

00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:35.400
 For those who mourn

00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:36.279
 Those whose hearts

00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:37.359
 Are heavy and sore

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:39.639
 Death changes

00:25:39.639 --> 00:25:40.759
 So much in life

00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:42.299
 And so we pray

00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:43.479
 For every broken heart

00:25:43.479 --> 00:25:43.919
 Today

00:25:43.919 --> 00:25:45.539
 Whether the

00:25:45.539 --> 00:25:46.759
 Death has been

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.839
 Of recent times

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:48.679
 Or long ago

00:25:48.679 --> 00:25:50.539
 That it's

00:25:50.539 --> 00:25:51.439
 Life is never

00:25:51.439 --> 00:25:52.000
 The same

00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:52.799
 When loved ones

00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:53.319
 Are taken

00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:55.019
 And so we pray

00:25:55.019 --> 00:25:55.879
 For your comfort

00:25:55.879 --> 00:25:57.159
 And your help

00:25:57.159 --> 00:25:57.979
 And your strength

00:25:57.979 --> 00:25:58.740
 And your grace

00:25:58.740 --> 00:26:00.719
 When it is most needed

00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:02.799
 We pray to bless

00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:04.600
 Us as a congregation

00:26:04.600 --> 00:26:07.039
 Bless all the work

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:08.059
 That is done here

00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:09.420
 We give thanks

00:26:09.420 --> 00:26:11.019
 For every willing heart

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:11.980
 And willing hand

00:26:11.980 --> 00:26:12.920
 That is engaged

00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:13.579
 In the work

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:15.039
 We give thanks

00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:15.519
 Oh Lord

00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:16.640
 That nothing is done

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:18.059
 For you

00:26:18.059 --> 00:26:19.400
 But you take note of it

00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:20.860
 Help us to do

00:26:20.860 --> 00:26:21.620
 By faith

00:26:21.620 --> 00:26:22.640
 Help us to do

00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:23.180
 In love

00:26:23.180 --> 00:26:24.620
 Help us Lord

00:26:24.620 --> 00:26:25.740
 To go forward

00:26:25.740 --> 00:26:26.500
 Looking to you

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:27.480
 At all times

00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:29.140
 Pray Lord

00:26:29.140 --> 00:26:30.480
 To bless us

00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:31.540
 And we pray

00:26:31.540 --> 00:26:32.540
 For our young people

00:26:32.540 --> 00:26:34.140
 And we give thanks

00:26:34.140 --> 00:26:35.300
 For school holidays

00:26:35.300 --> 00:26:36.420
 And we pray

00:26:36.420 --> 00:26:38.420
 For Sunday school teachers

00:26:38.420 --> 00:26:39.100
 And we pray

00:26:39.100 --> 00:26:41.080
 For our school teachers

00:26:41.080 --> 00:26:42.420
 And we pray

00:26:42.420 --> 00:26:43.480
 That you will help them

00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:45.280
 We pray Lord

00:26:45.280 --> 00:26:46.680
 For our nation

00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:47.980
 And we pray

00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:48.720
 For wisdom

00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:49.420
 To be given

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:50.120
 To our leaders

00:26:50.120 --> 00:26:51.740
 And even although

00:26:51.740 --> 00:26:52.680
 They might not look

00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:53.020
 To you

00:26:53.020 --> 00:26:53.880
 We still ask

00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:54.800
 That the wisdom

00:26:54.800 --> 00:26:55.700
 From above

00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:56.940
 Will be given to them

00:26:56.940 --> 00:26:58.720
 So that they will

00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:00.559
 Direct us

00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:01.220
 And lead us

00:27:01.220 --> 00:27:02.100
 In the right way

00:27:02.100 --> 00:27:04.100
 And it is our duty

00:27:04.100 --> 00:27:04.900
 We are commanded

00:27:04.900 --> 00:27:05.640
 In scripture

00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:06.980
 To pray for kings

00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:08.079
 And those in authority

00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:08.779
 Over us

00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:10.380
 And so we do

00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:11.759
 We pray for King Charles

00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:12.400
 We pray

00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:14.620
 For our prime minister

00:27:14.620 --> 00:27:15.860
 And first minister

00:27:15.860 --> 00:27:17.019
 And we pray

00:27:17.019 --> 00:27:18.019
 For all our governments

00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:18.779
 And we pray

00:27:18.779 --> 00:27:19.740
 For our council

00:27:19.740 --> 00:27:20.700
 And we ask Lord

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:21.620
 To grant wisdom

00:27:21.620 --> 00:27:22.279
 And direction

00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:23.779
 And we pray

00:27:23.779 --> 00:27:24.559
 More and more

00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:25.920
 That the ways

00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:27.539
 Of your word

00:27:27.539 --> 00:27:28.720
 Might be the ways

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:30.000
 That are lived

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:30.740
 In our land

00:27:30.740 --> 00:27:32.539
 We pray for all

00:27:32.539 --> 00:27:32.960
 The nations

00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:33.779
 Of this world

00:27:33.779 --> 00:27:34.740
 And remember

00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:35.340
 In particular

00:27:35.340 --> 00:27:36.200
 The Middle East

00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.000
 It seems like

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:38.940
 A boiling point

00:27:38.940 --> 00:27:39.539
 Just now

00:27:39.539 --> 00:27:41.620
 And we look

00:27:41.620 --> 00:27:42.100
 In horror

00:27:42.100 --> 00:27:43.539
 At the things

00:27:43.539 --> 00:27:44.340
 That have happened

00:27:44.340 --> 00:27:45.539
 Oh Lord

00:27:45.539 --> 00:27:46.060
 Our God

00:27:46.060 --> 00:27:46.660
 We pray

00:27:46.660 --> 00:27:48.080
 That you might

00:27:48.080 --> 00:27:49.340
 Indeed bring peace

00:27:49.340 --> 00:27:51.160
 We ask Lord

00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:51.720
 That you will

00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:53.300
 Indeed intervene

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:54.440
 That you will

00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:55.500
 Show your hand

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:57.200
 We remember Lord

00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:58.220
 That you are

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:59.079
 The God of heaven

00:27:59.079 --> 00:27:59.720
 And of earth

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:01.259
 And we pray

00:28:01.259 --> 00:28:02.200
 That you will

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:03.200
 Indeed intervene

00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.099
 And we still

00:28:05.099 --> 00:28:05.960
 Remember Ukraine

00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:06.799
 And all the troubled

00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:08.000
 Areas of this world

00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:09.460
 All throughout this world

00:28:09.460 --> 00:28:10.299
 There's conflict

00:28:10.299 --> 00:28:10.919
 And hatred

00:28:10.919 --> 00:28:11.819
 And violence

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:13.099
 And bloodshed

00:28:13.099 --> 00:28:14.399
 Some of it

00:28:14.399 --> 00:28:15.159
 We know about

00:28:15.159 --> 00:28:16.579
 How little we do know

00:28:16.579 --> 00:28:18.039
 But it's taking place

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:18.980
 Day by day

00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:20.159
 Oh Lord

00:28:20.159 --> 00:28:20.779
 Comfort

00:28:20.779 --> 00:28:21.700
 And build up

00:28:21.700 --> 00:28:22.940
 And we pray

00:28:22.940 --> 00:28:24.559
 That the nations

00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:25.779
 May turn to you

00:28:25.779 --> 00:28:27.360
 We read there

00:28:27.360 --> 00:28:29.480
 That all the nations

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:30.240
 Of the world

00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:31.960
 Will yet hear of you

00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:33.500
 And in many ways

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:34.600
 We pray to hasten

00:28:34.600 --> 00:28:35.180
 That day

00:28:35.180 --> 00:28:36.880
 Because that's the only hope

00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:37.720
 For this world

00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:39.200
 And so we ask

00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:40.180
 That you will bless us

00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:41.259
 And be near to us

00:28:41.259 --> 00:28:42.500
 And grant us your grace

00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:44.160
 Be with James

00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:44.980
 In the seminary

00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:46.059
 Be with Calum Murdo

00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:46.680
 And family

00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:47.860
 And holiday just now

00:28:47.860 --> 00:28:48.559
 Watch over

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:50.000
 Each and every one

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:51.080
 Grant us your grace

00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:52.159
 In all that we do

00:28:52.159 --> 00:28:53.460
 And cleanse us

00:28:53.460 --> 00:28:54.379
 From our every sin

00:28:54.379 --> 00:28:55.179
 In Jesus name

00:28:55.179 --> 00:28:55.859
 We ask it

00:28:55.859 --> 00:28:56.299
 Amen

00:28:56.299 --> 00:29:00.419
 We'll continue singing now

00:29:00.419 --> 00:29:02.460
 In Psalm 31

00:29:02.460 --> 00:29:03.639
 Psalm 31

00:29:03.639 --> 00:29:04.960
 And it's at verse 19

00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:06.319
 This is in sing psalms

00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:07.899
 Psalm 31

00:29:07.899 --> 00:29:08.960
 And sing psalms

00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:10.679
 Verses 19

00:29:10.679 --> 00:29:11.500
 To the end

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:17.519
 Five stanzas

00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:18.779
 Your goodness

00:29:18.779 --> 00:29:19.180
 Your goodness Lord

00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:20.259
 Is very great

00:29:20.259 --> 00:29:21.500
 Prepared for those

00:29:21.500 --> 00:29:22.819
 Who fear your name

00:29:22.819 --> 00:29:24.619
 You show your goodness

00:29:24.619 --> 00:29:25.799
 Openly to all

00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:27.700
 To all who

00:29:27.700 --> 00:29:29.079
 Your protection claim

00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:30.639
 Your presence

00:29:30.639 --> 00:29:32.440
 Hides and shelters them

00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:33.759
 From those who plot

00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:35.079
 To take their life

00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:36.759
 And in your tent

00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:38.019
 You keep them safe

00:29:38.019 --> 00:29:39.519
 From evil tongues

00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:40.960
 That stir up strife

00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:42.960
 The Lord be praised

00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:43.980
 Because he showed

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:44.680
 The wonders

00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:45.759
 Of his love

00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:46.259
 To me

00:29:46.259 --> 00:29:47.620
 When in a city

00:29:47.620 --> 00:29:48.460
 I was trapped

00:29:48.460 --> 00:29:49.060
 Surrounded

00:29:49.060 --> 00:29:50.920
 By the enemy

00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:53.100
 Psalm 31

00:29:53.100 --> 00:29:54.400
 Verses 19

00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:55.160
 To 24

00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:55.759
 The tune is

00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:56.220
 We're home

00:29:56.220 --> 00:29:58.820
 We sing to God's praise

00:29:58.819 --> 00:30:00.859
 Your goodness Lord

00:30:00.859 --> 00:30:02.059
 Is very great

00:30:02.059 --> 00:30:11.200
 Your goodness Lord

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:14.079
 Is very great

00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:19.079
 Prepared for those

00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.559
 Who fear your name

00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:28.379
 To show your goodness

00:30:28.379 --> 00:30:32.000
 Openly

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:40.839
 To open your protection claim

00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:44.519
 Your blessings

00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:50.099
 And in your tent

00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:50.259
 You keep them safe

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:53.839
 From evil tongues

00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:54.839
 That stir up strife

00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:59.259
 And in your tent

00:30:59.259 --> 00:31:01.259
 You keep them safe

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:03.259
 From evil tongues

00:31:03.259 --> 00:31:05.259
 That stir up strife

00:31:05.259 --> 00:31:19.000
 The Lord be praised

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:21.700
 The Lord be praised

00:31:21.700 --> 00:31:25.799
 Because he showed

00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:34.259
 The wonder of his love to me

00:31:34.259 --> 00:31:38.940
 When in the city

00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:42.720
 I was trapped

00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:50.420
 Surrounded by the enemy

00:31:50.420 --> 00:31:55.420
 In my alarm

00:31:55.420 --> 00:32:00.539
 I rashly said

00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:05.200
 That I was hidden

00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:09.060
 From your eyes

00:32:09.060 --> 00:32:13.460
 But when I called

00:32:13.460 --> 00:32:17.380
 To you for help

00:32:17.380 --> 00:32:22.060
 In case you listen

00:32:22.060 --> 00:32:26.620
 To my cries

00:32:26.620 --> 00:32:31.120
 Oh love the Lord

00:32:31.120 --> 00:32:35.260
 All you his saints

00:32:35.260 --> 00:32:43.700
 The faithful will be kept by God

00:32:43.700 --> 00:32:47.840
 But he will give

00:32:47.840 --> 00:32:50.240
 The proud

00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:54.440
 There to be strong

00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:56.319
 Take heart

00:32:56.319 --> 00:33:01.200
 Oh bend the Lord

00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:06.440
 Let's turn again

00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:06.860
 For a little

00:33:06.860 --> 00:33:07.500
 To the chapter

00:33:07.500 --> 00:33:08.120
 That we read

00:33:08.120 --> 00:33:09.160
 In Matthew's gospel

00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:12.059
 Chapter 24

00:33:12.059 --> 00:33:13.940
 Looking again

00:33:13.940 --> 00:33:14.860
 At verse 12

00:33:14.860 --> 00:33:18.799
 And because lawlessness

00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:19.940
 Will be increased

00:33:19.940 --> 00:33:20.860
 The love of many

00:33:20.860 --> 00:33:21.880
 Will grow cold

00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:23.759
 But the one who endures

00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:24.360
 To the end

00:33:24.360 --> 00:33:25.180
 Will be saved

00:33:25.180 --> 00:33:26.759
 And this gospel

00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:27.400
 Of the kingdom

00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:28.539
 Will be proclaimed

00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:29.880
 Throughout the whole world

00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:31.160
 As a testimony

00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:32.340
 To all nations

00:33:32.340 --> 00:33:34.280
 And then the end

00:33:34.280 --> 00:33:34.920
 Will come

00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:37.820
 Now as we know

00:33:37.820 --> 00:33:38.300
 The future

00:33:38.300 --> 00:33:39.980
 Has always fascinated

00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:41.240
 People

00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:43.420
 And every generation

00:33:43.420 --> 00:33:45.040
 Is trying to predict

00:33:45.040 --> 00:33:46.360
 When the end will be

00:33:46.360 --> 00:33:47.660
 People of course

00:33:47.660 --> 00:33:48.360
 Don't know

00:33:48.360 --> 00:33:51.540
 Every generation

00:33:51.540 --> 00:33:52.980
 Tries to make predictions

00:33:52.980 --> 00:33:54.680
 Scientists will tell us

00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:55.480
 That the way

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:56.620
 That things are going

00:33:56.620 --> 00:33:58.120
 That the world

00:33:58.120 --> 00:33:59.160
 Cannot keep going

00:33:59.160 --> 00:33:59.840
 They might even

00:33:59.840 --> 00:34:00.560
 Make predictions

00:34:00.560 --> 00:34:01.380
 As to when

00:34:01.380 --> 00:34:03.240
 It is likely to end

00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:06.660
 Leaders of various sects

00:34:06.660 --> 00:34:07.600
 And cults

00:34:07.600 --> 00:34:09.260
 Have from time to time

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:10.280
 Issued statements

00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:11.380
 Saying that the world

00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:11.980
 Will end

00:34:11.980 --> 00:34:13.840
 At such and such a time

00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:15.300
 Even Christians

00:34:15.300 --> 00:34:17.099
 At various periods

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:18.099
 Have made predictions

00:34:18.099 --> 00:34:19.800
 As to when the world

00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:20.380
 Will end

00:34:20.380 --> 00:34:21.260
 But they don't know

00:34:21.260 --> 00:34:22.180
 Nobody knows

00:34:22.180 --> 00:34:23.639
 And if anybody

00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:25.159
 Ever gives this prediction

00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:27.539
 You know with a certainty

00:34:27.539 --> 00:34:29.199
 That they don't know

00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:30.779
 Because the Bible

00:34:30.779 --> 00:34:31.799
 Makes it very clear

00:34:31.799 --> 00:34:33.199
 Jesus tells us this

00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:35.179
 But concerning that day

00:34:35.179 --> 00:34:35.799
 And hour

00:34:35.799 --> 00:34:37.239
 No one knows

00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:37.559
 He says

00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:38.420
 Not even the angels

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:39.599
 In heaven know

00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:41.839
 But Jesus warns us

00:34:41.839 --> 00:34:42.420
 To be ready

00:34:42.420 --> 00:34:44.199
 Because he's going to come

00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:45.399
 At a time

00:34:45.399 --> 00:34:46.879
 When nobody expects

00:34:46.879 --> 00:34:48.139
 That's what he says

00:34:48.139 --> 00:34:48.500
 Therefore

00:34:48.500 --> 00:34:50.539
 You also must be ready

00:34:50.539 --> 00:34:51.539
 For the Son of Man

00:34:51.539 --> 00:34:52.079
 Is coming

00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:53.340
 At an hour

00:34:53.340 --> 00:34:55.380
 That you don't expect

00:34:55.380 --> 00:34:57.340
 And that's an all

00:34:57.340 --> 00:34:58.260
 Important question

00:34:58.260 --> 00:34:59.260
 That we'd have to ask

00:34:59.260 --> 00:35:00.219
 Ourselves today

00:35:00.219 --> 00:35:02.300
 Because we do not know

00:35:02.300 --> 00:35:03.699
 When the Son of Man

00:35:03.699 --> 00:35:04.440
 Will return

00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:06.119
 And if we were told

00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:07.179
 Today that he was

00:35:07.179 --> 00:35:07.900
 To return

00:35:07.900 --> 00:35:10.420
 How would you feel?

00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:11.880
 How would you react?

00:35:12.019 --> 00:35:12.619
 What would your

00:35:12.619 --> 00:35:14.099
 What would your

00:35:14.099 --> 00:35:15.859
 Take on it be?

00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:17.259
 Are you ready

00:35:17.259 --> 00:35:18.779
 For the Son of Man

00:35:18.779 --> 00:35:19.519
 To return?

00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:20.980
 And of course

00:35:20.980 --> 00:35:22.259
 We know the only way

00:35:22.259 --> 00:35:23.619
 To be ready

00:35:23.619 --> 00:35:24.719
 For the Son of Man

00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:26.099
 To return

00:35:26.099 --> 00:35:27.639
 Is by coming

00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:28.259
 To know him

00:35:28.259 --> 00:35:29.679
 As our friend

00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:31.159
 As our Lord

00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:32.359
 As our saviour

00:35:32.359 --> 00:35:34.679
 Because if we are

00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:35.920
 Safe in him

00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:37.199
 Then we have nothing

00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:38.279
 To worry about

00:35:38.279 --> 00:35:40.099
 But if we're without

00:35:40.099 --> 00:35:40.559
 Jesus

00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:42.619
 Then it's in a bad

00:35:42.619 --> 00:35:43.480
 Place we are

00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:45.739
 And to reject Jesus

00:35:45.739 --> 00:35:46.460
 Really is

00:35:46.460 --> 00:35:47.820
 The most

00:35:47.820 --> 00:35:49.500
 Stupid thing

00:35:49.500 --> 00:35:50.320
 That any person

00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:50.920
 Can do

00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:52.400
 Because

00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:54.000
 To turn our back

00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:54.519
 On Jesus

00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:55.820
 Is to turn our back

00:35:55.820 --> 00:35:57.139
 On the most

00:35:57.139 --> 00:35:58.340
 Wonderful invitation

00:35:58.340 --> 00:35:59.219
 That has ever

00:35:59.219 --> 00:36:00.440
 Been given to anybody

00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:01.840
 There's been

00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:03.000
 Never a greater

00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:04.199
 Display of love

00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:05.219
 In this world

00:36:05.219 --> 00:36:06.599
 Than God's

00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:07.599
 Love to us

00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:08.619
 In sending

00:36:08.619 --> 00:36:09.739
 His Son

00:36:09.739 --> 00:36:11.059
 The Lord Jesus

00:36:11.059 --> 00:36:11.659
 Christ

00:36:11.659 --> 00:36:12.879
 To save us

00:36:12.879 --> 00:36:13.599
 From our sins

00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:14.859
 Because you see

00:36:14.859 --> 00:36:15.959
 By nature

00:36:15.959 --> 00:36:16.879
 We don't love him

00:36:16.879 --> 00:36:18.500
 By nature

00:36:18.500 --> 00:36:19.259
 We don't care

00:36:19.259 --> 00:36:19.879
 About God

00:36:19.879 --> 00:36:20.699
 We're not interested

00:36:20.699 --> 00:36:21.399
 In God

00:36:21.399 --> 00:36:22.819
 We don't have

00:36:22.819 --> 00:36:23.539
 Many thoughts

00:36:23.539 --> 00:36:24.279
 About God

00:36:24.279 --> 00:36:25.859
 Maybe sometimes

00:36:25.859 --> 00:36:27.219
 When people

00:36:27.219 --> 00:36:27.939
 Are in trouble

00:36:27.939 --> 00:36:29.059
 They might

00:36:29.059 --> 00:36:29.699
 All of a sudden

00:36:29.699 --> 00:36:30.139
 They might

00:36:30.139 --> 00:36:31.219
 Say oh

00:36:31.219 --> 00:36:31.739
 I need to pray

00:36:31.739 --> 00:36:32.439
 There's a sense

00:36:32.439 --> 00:36:33.799
 Of crying out

00:36:33.799 --> 00:36:34.159
 To God

00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:34.759
 For help

00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:36.240
 But that's it

00:36:36.240 --> 00:36:37.500
 It's just a passing

00:36:37.500 --> 00:36:38.900
 In that particular

00:36:38.900 --> 00:36:39.480
 Moment

00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:40.860
 And then God

00:36:40.860 --> 00:36:41.920
 Is forgotten again

00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:42.820
 People

00:36:42.820 --> 00:36:44.080
 By and large

00:36:44.080 --> 00:36:45.360
 Don't think about God

00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:46.200
 And they're not

00:36:46.200 --> 00:36:46.760
 Too bothered

00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:47.680
 About God

00:36:47.680 --> 00:36:49.940
 But God's love

00:36:49.940 --> 00:36:51.120
 Is so great to us

00:36:51.120 --> 00:36:52.540
 That he's given us

00:36:52.540 --> 00:36:53.240
 This book

00:36:53.240 --> 00:36:55.220
 And he's given us

00:36:55.220 --> 00:36:55.800
 This spirit

00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:56.580
 To show us

00:36:56.580 --> 00:36:57.480
 How things are

00:36:57.480 --> 00:36:58.500
 Because

00:36:58.500 --> 00:36:59.520
 We would never

00:36:59.520 --> 00:37:00.160
 Work it out

00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:00.759
 Ourselves

00:37:00.759 --> 00:37:02.019
 We wouldn't know

00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:03.279
 How much

00:37:03.279 --> 00:37:03.960
 We need

00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:05.059
 To get right

00:37:05.059 --> 00:37:05.639
 With God

00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:07.139
 Because we have

00:37:07.139 --> 00:37:07.920
 Within ourselves

00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:08.619
 What's called

00:37:08.619 --> 00:37:09.659
 Self-righteousness

00:37:09.659 --> 00:37:10.559
 Where we think

00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:11.199
 We're okay

00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:13.199
 And that's the problem

00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:14.119
 With so many people

00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:14.679
 That's why

00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:15.480
 There's so much

00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:16.859
 Animosity

00:37:16.859 --> 00:37:17.819
 Towards the Bible

00:37:17.819 --> 00:37:18.819
 Because people say

00:37:18.819 --> 00:37:20.099
 There's nothing in there

00:37:20.099 --> 00:37:21.619
 That's of any good

00:37:21.619 --> 00:37:23.179
 That's just telling people

00:37:23.179 --> 00:37:23.819
 That they're bad

00:37:23.819 --> 00:37:24.279
 And they don't want

00:37:24.279 --> 00:37:25.299
 To hear about it

00:37:25.299 --> 00:37:27.480
 But it's

00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:28.599
 God in his mercy

00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:29.719
 Has given us

00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:30.419
 This

00:37:30.419 --> 00:37:31.599
 Because we couldn't

00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:32.419
 Work it out ourselves

00:37:32.419 --> 00:37:33.379
 We wouldn't know

00:37:33.379 --> 00:37:34.980
 Were it not that God

00:37:34.980 --> 00:37:36.739
 Shows us in his word

00:37:36.739 --> 00:37:38.980
 And shows us by his spirit

00:37:38.980 --> 00:37:41.119
 How things really are

00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:43.519
 And that not only

00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:44.519
 Has he shown us

00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:45.939
 How things are

00:37:45.939 --> 00:37:47.419
 But he has shown us

00:37:47.419 --> 00:37:47.959
 In his word

00:37:47.959 --> 00:37:48.719
 He's given us

00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:49.619
 A remedy

00:37:49.619 --> 00:37:50.699
 A cure

00:37:50.699 --> 00:37:52.139
 For the problem

00:37:52.139 --> 00:37:54.419
 And he's saying to us

00:37:54.419 --> 00:37:56.579
 You are distant from me

00:37:56.579 --> 00:37:58.619
 You are away from me

00:37:58.619 --> 00:38:00.199
 You don't care about me

00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:01.659
 And as things stand

00:38:01.659 --> 00:38:02.460
 You're under

00:38:02.460 --> 00:38:04.559
 My wrath and condemnation

00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:05.599
 Now we don't know that

00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:06.960
 Apart from God's word

00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:09.139
 But God is saying

00:38:09.139 --> 00:38:10.599
 I provided for you

00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:12.819
 I provided a saviour

00:38:12.819 --> 00:38:14.500
 I provided my son

00:38:14.500 --> 00:38:16.380
 In order that you can

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:17.279
 Come back to me

00:38:17.279 --> 00:38:18.359
 Return to me

00:38:18.359 --> 00:38:19.699
 And to be

00:38:19.699 --> 00:38:21.219
 At one with me

00:38:21.219 --> 00:38:24.219
 And so we should be

00:38:24.219 --> 00:38:24.939
 So thankful

00:38:24.939 --> 00:38:26.539
 For this great provision

00:38:26.539 --> 00:38:28.139
 That the Lord has made

00:38:28.139 --> 00:38:29.699
 Now Jesus

00:38:29.699 --> 00:38:31.079
 In this passage

00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:31.719
 Is beginning

00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:33.519
 By highlighting

00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:35.079
 Many of the things

00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:35.879
 That are going to happen

00:38:35.879 --> 00:38:37.319
 Before the end comes

00:38:37.319 --> 00:38:39.359
 And as we read through it

00:38:39.359 --> 00:38:39.899
 It's obvious

00:38:39.899 --> 00:38:40.959
 That we are living

00:38:40.959 --> 00:38:43.079
 In the times

00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:43.959
 The first times

00:38:43.959 --> 00:38:45.819
 That Jesus describes

00:38:45.820 --> 00:38:47.580
 Where nation is fighting

00:38:47.580 --> 00:38:48.480
 Against nation

00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:49.140
 And kingdom

00:38:49.140 --> 00:38:50.180
 Against kingdom

00:38:50.180 --> 00:38:52.039
 And there's famines

00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:53.680
 In different places

00:38:53.680 --> 00:38:55.200
 And there's earthquakes

00:38:55.200 --> 00:38:56.640
 We're seeing it all the time

00:38:56.640 --> 00:38:58.340
 Every year

00:38:58.340 --> 00:38:59.539
 In our news bulletins

00:38:59.539 --> 00:39:00.260
 These things

00:39:00.260 --> 00:39:00.920
 Of famines

00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:01.620
 And earthquakes

00:39:01.620 --> 00:39:02.360
 And wars

00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:03.120
 We're seeing it

00:39:03.120 --> 00:39:04.360
 And it's becoming

00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.160
 Because of how easily

00:39:07.160 --> 00:39:09.559
 News is transmitted today

00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:10.059
 We're being

00:39:10.059 --> 00:39:11.740
 What's happening

00:39:11.740 --> 00:39:12.860
 These things are being

00:39:12.860 --> 00:39:14.019
 Brought into our homes

00:39:14.019 --> 00:39:15.120
 So we can see it

00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:17.319
 And we see also

00:39:17.319 --> 00:39:18.759
 That not only that

00:39:18.759 --> 00:39:20.119
 But many false prophets

00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:21.480
 And false religions

00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:23.199
 And then you find

00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:24.679
 That they're coming

00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:25.359
 To the point

00:39:25.359 --> 00:39:26.639
 Of hating one another

00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:28.199
 And betraying one another

00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:30.239
 And so there's

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:31.519
 This terrible catalogue

00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:33.420
 Of sin and suffering

00:39:33.420 --> 00:39:34.940
 And it's a picture

00:39:34.940 --> 00:39:36.500
 Of a world out of control

00:39:36.500 --> 00:39:38.460
 But you know

00:39:38.460 --> 00:39:39.139
 The one thing

00:39:39.139 --> 00:39:40.759
 That we're so thankful for

00:39:40.759 --> 00:39:42.159
 Is that the Lord

00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:42.980
 Is in control

00:39:42.980 --> 00:39:44.199
 And part of this control

00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:44.739
 Is that

00:39:44.739 --> 00:39:46.459
 Jesus is telling us

00:39:46.459 --> 00:39:48.059
 Two thousand years ago

00:39:48.059 --> 00:39:48.919
 About what it's going

00:39:48.919 --> 00:39:49.439
 To be like

00:39:49.439 --> 00:39:50.159
 And it's happening

00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:52.500
 Because the Lord knows

00:39:52.500 --> 00:39:54.199
 The end from the beginning

00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:56.579
 But because

00:39:56.579 --> 00:39:59.419
 Of this incredible

00:39:59.419 --> 00:40:01.959
 Force of lawlessness

00:40:01.959 --> 00:40:03.619
 And we're living in such days

00:40:03.619 --> 00:40:04.339
 Where there's a

00:40:04.339 --> 00:40:06.219
 Complete lawlessness

00:40:06.219 --> 00:40:07.719
 Towards God

00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:09.019
 It's talking about lawlessness

00:40:09.019 --> 00:40:10.179
 Towards God here

00:40:10.179 --> 00:40:12.259
 Because of this lawlessness

00:40:12.259 --> 00:40:12.279
 Because of this lawlessness

00:40:12.279 --> 00:40:12.299
 Because of this lawlessness

00:40:12.299 --> 00:40:13.960
 We read that

00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:16.539
 The love of many

00:40:16.539 --> 00:40:18.139
 Will grow cold

00:40:18.139 --> 00:40:19.859
 And of course

00:40:19.859 --> 00:40:20.739
 It's speaking here

00:40:20.739 --> 00:40:22.000
 About to the Christian

00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:23.980
 Because Jesus goes on

00:40:23.980 --> 00:40:25.399
 In the very next verse

00:40:25.399 --> 00:40:26.079
 To say that

00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:27.039
 Those who keep going

00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:28.059
 Those who persevere

00:40:28.059 --> 00:40:29.500
 Keep going to the end

00:40:29.500 --> 00:40:30.759
 These are the ones

00:40:30.759 --> 00:40:32.219
 Who will be saved

00:40:32.219 --> 00:40:33.039
 Who will discover

00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:35.119
 What salvation really is

00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:37.259
 Now as we know

00:40:37.259 --> 00:40:38.400
 That the love of God

00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:40.519
 Which we have in our heart

00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:42.179
 Begins with God

00:40:42.179 --> 00:40:43.920
 We love him

00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:45.380
 Because he first loved us

00:40:45.380 --> 00:40:46.819
 That's the order of things

00:40:46.819 --> 00:40:48.400
 We wouldn't love him

00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:50.480
 Unless he first loved us

00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:52.900
 And by nature

00:40:52.900 --> 00:40:53.500
 As we said

00:40:53.500 --> 00:40:55.039
 We're going in the opposite direction

00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:56.380
 We want away from God

00:40:56.380 --> 00:40:57.539
 Adam showed that

00:40:57.539 --> 00:40:58.320
 At the very beginning

00:40:58.320 --> 00:40:58.980
 He ran

00:40:58.980 --> 00:41:01.219
 And that's how we've run

00:41:01.219 --> 00:41:01.880
 Ever since

00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:02.740
 We're running away

00:41:02.740 --> 00:41:04.440
 But God in his mercy

00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:05.179
 Called Adam

00:41:05.179 --> 00:41:06.639
 And he's calling us as well

00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:08.480
 And that's the beauty of it

00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:11.440
 And we're drawn to him

00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:13.260
 When his love touches our heart

00:41:13.260 --> 00:41:15.219
 When we hear his call

00:41:15.219 --> 00:41:16.059
 In the gospel

00:41:16.059 --> 00:41:18.500
 When we're drawn to him

00:41:18.500 --> 00:41:19.679
 It changes everything

00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:22.239
 We begin to think about him

00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:24.399
 We begin to think about him

00:41:24.399 --> 00:41:25.460
 In a way we never thought

00:41:25.460 --> 00:41:26.339
 About him before

00:41:26.339 --> 00:41:28.719
 But we don't just think

00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:30.099
 In a kind of empty way

00:41:30.099 --> 00:41:31.679
 We find that there's a

00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:33.759
 A drawing within our heart

00:41:33.759 --> 00:41:34.480
 We begin to

00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:36.679
 We begin to think about him

00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:38.839
 That's how love works

00:41:38.839 --> 00:41:40.539
 If you love somebody

00:41:40.539 --> 00:41:42.960
 You think about that person often

00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:44.960
 And so it is

00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:45.899
 With a Christian

00:41:45.899 --> 00:41:47.960
 When the Lord begins to work

00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:48.699
 Within our heart

00:41:48.699 --> 00:41:50.759
 We begin to think about him

00:41:50.759 --> 00:41:51.179
 A lot

00:41:51.179 --> 00:41:55.159
 And there's a complete change

00:41:55.159 --> 00:41:56.579
 Takes place in our life

00:41:56.579 --> 00:41:57.980
 Because

00:41:57.980 --> 00:42:01.039
 The overwhelming power

00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:02.099
 Of God's love

00:42:02.099 --> 00:42:03.179
 Changes

00:42:03.179 --> 00:42:04.960
 Our thinking

00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:06.539
 Our mind

00:42:06.539 --> 00:42:07.639
 Our will

00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:09.099
 Our affections

00:42:09.099 --> 00:42:10.239
 Our emotions

00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:11.119
 Our heart

00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:11.799
 Everything

00:42:11.799 --> 00:42:13.759
 Goes out to him

00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:15.100
 And that's why

00:42:15.100 --> 00:42:15.880
 Sometimes when

00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:17.120
 People are converted

00:42:17.120 --> 00:42:17.900
 Particularly people

00:42:17.900 --> 00:42:19.160
 Who maybe

00:42:19.160 --> 00:42:20.220
 Aren't too much

00:42:20.220 --> 00:42:21.300
 Of a church background

00:42:21.300 --> 00:42:22.800
 And their friends

00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:23.580
 Can't understand

00:42:23.580 --> 00:42:24.480
 What's happened

00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:26.500
 Because all of a sudden

00:42:26.500 --> 00:42:27.680
 This person

00:42:27.680 --> 00:42:28.820
 Has changed

00:42:28.820 --> 00:42:30.500
 Still the same person

00:42:30.500 --> 00:42:32.580
 Still doing the same work

00:42:32.580 --> 00:42:33.420
 Still involved

00:42:33.420 --> 00:42:34.400
 In the same things

00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:36.500
 But they can't understand

00:42:36.500 --> 00:42:37.020
 That there's a

00:42:37.020 --> 00:42:38.220
 It's because

00:42:38.220 --> 00:42:39.220
 There's a new

00:42:39.220 --> 00:42:40.600
 New desires

00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:41.599
 New affection

00:42:41.599 --> 00:42:43.239
 A new love

00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:44.460
 Has been born

00:42:44.460 --> 00:42:45.159
 In their heart

00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:46.460
 Which changes

00:42:46.460 --> 00:42:47.500
 The way they think

00:42:47.500 --> 00:42:48.799
 It changes the direction

00:42:48.799 --> 00:42:49.819
 In which they're going

00:42:49.819 --> 00:42:50.960
 And that's

00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:51.839
 That's this

00:42:51.839 --> 00:42:53.480
 This great love

00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:54.719
 That takes place here

00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:56.779
 It's an all compelling love

00:42:56.780 --> 00:42:59.320
 But we see here

00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:00.380
 That it tells us

00:43:00.380 --> 00:43:03.660
 That because of this lawlessness

00:43:03.660 --> 00:43:05.240
 That the love of many

00:43:05.240 --> 00:43:06.380
 Will wax cold

00:43:06.380 --> 00:43:09.860
 But this love of God

00:43:09.860 --> 00:43:11.880
 Displays itself

00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:13.180
 In our life

00:43:13.180 --> 00:43:16.080
 By loving God

00:43:16.080 --> 00:43:17.300
 And how do we love God?

00:43:17.380 --> 00:43:18.760
 Well in many ways

00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:20.120
 It is shown through

00:43:20.120 --> 00:43:21.660
 Our love for all

00:43:21.660 --> 00:43:22.820
 That belongs to God

00:43:22.820 --> 00:43:23.960
 For instance

00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:24.940
 We love his day

00:43:24.940 --> 00:43:26.619
 And we're thankful

00:43:26.619 --> 00:43:27.519
 For this day

00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:28.980
 It's this day

00:43:28.980 --> 00:43:30.300
 That God has given us

00:43:30.300 --> 00:43:31.659
 He's given us

00:43:31.659 --> 00:43:32.760
 The six other days

00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:33.920
 To fulfill everything

00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:34.639
 And on this day

00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:34.980
 He says

00:43:34.980 --> 00:43:36.059
 We term it

00:43:36.059 --> 00:43:36.840
 The Lord's day

00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:38.539
 New Testament mentions it

00:43:38.539 --> 00:43:39.559
 As the Lord's day

00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:40.200
 The day that

00:43:40.200 --> 00:43:41.940
 Jesus rose from the dead

00:43:41.940 --> 00:43:43.740
 And it's this day

00:43:43.740 --> 00:43:45.000
 Where we're able

00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:46.079
 To give our mind

00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:46.900
 As we were saying

00:43:46.900 --> 00:43:47.880
 To the young folk

00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:48.900
 To stop

00:43:48.900 --> 00:43:49.619
 And to think

00:43:49.619 --> 00:43:50.260
 And to look

00:43:50.260 --> 00:43:50.900
 And to listen

00:43:50.900 --> 00:43:52.420
 That's one of the great things

00:43:52.420 --> 00:43:53.119
 About today

00:43:53.119 --> 00:43:55.380
 We're able to think

00:43:55.380 --> 00:43:56.139
 About the Lord

00:43:56.139 --> 00:43:57.799
 We're able to stop

00:43:57.799 --> 00:43:59.199
 We're given this time

00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:00.579
 To draw aside

00:44:00.579 --> 00:44:01.000
 And so

00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:03.139
 The Christian is someone

00:44:03.139 --> 00:44:05.059
 Who loves the Lord's day

00:44:05.059 --> 00:44:07.679
 And we love the Lord's word

00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:09.940
 Because the Bible

00:44:09.940 --> 00:44:11.799
 Becomes so precious to us

00:44:11.799 --> 00:44:13.159
 You know when you were

00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:13.980
 First converted

00:44:13.980 --> 00:44:14.940
 You couldn't get over

00:44:14.940 --> 00:44:17.559
 When you would read it

00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:17.900
 You would say

00:44:17.900 --> 00:44:19.579
 I feel the Lord

00:44:19.579 --> 00:44:20.500
 Speaking to me

00:44:20.500 --> 00:44:22.179
 You would find

00:44:22.179 --> 00:44:23.099
 That the situation

00:44:23.099 --> 00:44:23.760
 That you were in

00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:24.440
 In that day

00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:25.719
 That the Lord

00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:26.460
 Was just there

00:44:26.460 --> 00:44:27.980
 And he was directing you

00:44:27.980 --> 00:44:28.960
 He was showing you

00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:30.360
 From his word

00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:30.800
 And you were

00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:31.599
 You were saying

00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:32.099
 Wow

00:44:32.099 --> 00:44:33.199
 This is amazing

00:44:33.199 --> 00:44:35.239
 And so

00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:36.800
 As the Bible says

00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:38.239
 His word is more precious

00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:39.039
 Than gold

00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:41.039
 And you know

00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:42.000
 When you're in trouble

00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:42.960
 Or in difficulties

00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:43.840
 Or in sorrow

00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:44.559
 Or in pain

00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:45.079
 Or whatever

00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:46.280
 God's word

00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:47.760
 Is so important to you

00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:49.480
 Because often

00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:50.180
 You will find

00:44:50.180 --> 00:44:50.920
 Something there

00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:51.300
 And you say

00:44:51.300 --> 00:44:51.720
 Oh you know

00:44:51.720 --> 00:44:53.520
 That really lifted me

00:44:53.520 --> 00:44:54.700
 That spoke to me

00:44:54.700 --> 00:44:56.380
 That gave me hope

00:44:56.380 --> 00:44:57.720
 That I didn't have before

00:44:57.720 --> 00:45:01.000
 Again we love God's house

00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:01.900
 Psalmist said

00:45:01.900 --> 00:45:02.680
 I joyed

00:45:02.680 --> 00:45:03.880
 Went to the house of God

00:45:03.880 --> 00:45:04.560
 Go up

00:45:04.560 --> 00:45:05.400
 They said to me

00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:07.680
 Because God's house

00:45:07.680 --> 00:45:09.180
 Is a refuge to our soul

00:45:09.180 --> 00:45:11.100
 You'll find Asaph

00:45:11.100 --> 00:45:13.080
 Remember in Psalm 73

00:45:13.080 --> 00:45:14.820
 Asaph was going through

00:45:14.820 --> 00:45:15.920
 All kinds of problems

00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:17.440
 He was envying the godless

00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:18.220
 He was seeing how

00:45:18.220 --> 00:45:19.680
 People were getting on

00:45:19.680 --> 00:45:20.619
 He was a believer

00:45:20.619 --> 00:45:21.320
 And he was saying

00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:23.180
 I've done all the right things

00:45:23.180 --> 00:45:24.639
 And nothing is working

00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:25.380
 In my life

00:45:25.380 --> 00:45:26.440
 And he said

00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:28.139
 It's been a waste of time

00:45:28.139 --> 00:45:30.659
 Then he went to God's house

00:45:30.659 --> 00:45:32.659
 And when he went there

00:45:32.659 --> 00:45:34.360
 The Lord spoke to him

00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:35.300
 Because you see

00:45:35.300 --> 00:45:36.659
 God is present here today

00:45:36.659 --> 00:45:38.300
 The Lord promises that

00:45:38.300 --> 00:45:40.920
 And that's one of the great things

00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:42.240
 That when he went there

00:45:42.240 --> 00:45:44.820
 And he began to speak to the Lord

00:45:44.820 --> 00:45:46.280
 And the Lord to speak to him

00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:48.640
 His vision was changed

00:45:48.640 --> 00:45:51.580
 His problems in his mind

00:45:51.580 --> 00:45:52.500
 Were restored

00:45:52.500 --> 00:45:54.780
 He saw God was in control

00:45:54.780 --> 00:45:56.019
 He saw at the end

00:45:56.019 --> 00:45:56.800
 That he was the one

00:45:56.800 --> 00:45:57.539
 Who had everything

00:45:57.539 --> 00:45:59.360
 Whom have I in the heavens

00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:00.680
 I but thee O Lord alone

00:46:00.680 --> 00:46:01.760
 And in the earth

00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:02.680
 Whom I desire

00:46:02.680 --> 00:46:04.320
 Besides thee there is none

00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:07.080
 And also when we

00:46:07.080 --> 00:46:08.780
 Become Christians

00:46:08.780 --> 00:46:09.620
 We have our love

00:46:09.620 --> 00:46:11.320
 To the church family

00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:13.220
 They are our brothers

00:46:13.220 --> 00:46:14.019
 And our sisters

00:46:14.019 --> 00:46:15.620
 It's one of the evidences

00:46:15.620 --> 00:46:16.480
 Of grace is

00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:17.220
 We're told that

00:46:17.220 --> 00:46:19.640
 We know that we've passed

00:46:19.640 --> 00:46:20.620
 From death to life

00:46:20.620 --> 00:46:21.780
 Because we love the brothers

00:46:21.780 --> 00:46:22.660
 We love the sisters

00:46:22.660 --> 00:46:24.700
 And there's this

00:46:24.700 --> 00:46:26.160
 Sense of identity

00:46:26.160 --> 00:46:27.300
 Sense of belonging

00:46:27.300 --> 00:46:28.840
 That they're all one

00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:30.160
 We're all one together

00:46:30.160 --> 00:46:31.840
 In Christ Jesus

00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:34.720
 But sadly

00:46:34.720 --> 00:46:37.100
 Our verse tells us

00:46:37.100 --> 00:46:38.260
 That many

00:46:38.260 --> 00:46:39.340
 The love of many

00:46:39.340 --> 00:46:40.840
 Will grow cold

00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:42.200
 And why?

00:46:43.019 --> 00:46:45.500
 Because of the lawlessness

00:46:45.500 --> 00:46:47.420
 And because lawlessness

00:46:47.420 --> 00:46:49.600
 Will be increased

00:46:49.600 --> 00:46:53.000
 And that's where the whole ways

00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:54.280
 Of society

00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:55.800
 Are today

00:46:55.800 --> 00:46:57.559
 Lawless against God

00:46:57.559 --> 00:46:59.059
 And you know

00:46:59.059 --> 00:47:00.100
 The sad thing is

00:47:00.100 --> 00:47:02.780
 That not only is society

00:47:02.780 --> 00:47:05.100
 Within the individuality

00:47:05.100 --> 00:47:05.980
 Lawless

00:47:05.980 --> 00:47:06.639
 But even

00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:08.740
 Even our governments

00:47:08.740 --> 00:47:11.860
 Are putting lawlessness

00:47:11.860 --> 00:47:13.400
 In place

00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:15.400
 For us to

00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:16.840
 Keep lawlessness

00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:18.019
 Against God

00:47:18.019 --> 00:47:19.199
 It's quite extraordinary

00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:21.440
 But you know

00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:21.920
 When we

00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:23.480
 When we get

00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:25.139
 We get

00:47:25.139 --> 00:47:26.420
 It's part of human nature

00:47:26.420 --> 00:47:28.559
 We begin to get used

00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:29.320
 To anything

00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:31.440
 And however things are

00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:32.559
 And things that

00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:33.920
 Maybe a while back

00:47:33.920 --> 00:47:34.179
 Would say

00:47:34.179 --> 00:47:34.880
 Oh no no

00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:36.619
 We begin to become

00:47:36.619 --> 00:47:37.380
 Complacent

00:47:37.380 --> 00:47:38.360
 And used to it

00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:40.480
 And we begin to

00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:41.280
 Say oh well

00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:42.059
 It's alright

00:47:42.059 --> 00:47:42.559
 It's this

00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:42.980
 It's that

00:47:42.980 --> 00:47:44.860
 Well in God's sight

00:47:44.860 --> 00:47:45.780
 It's lawlessness

00:47:45.780 --> 00:47:47.119
 And it's

00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:48.680
 It's affecting

00:47:48.680 --> 00:47:50.160
 The whole being

00:47:50.160 --> 00:47:51.960
 And it influences us

00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:52.980
 It affects

00:47:52.980 --> 00:47:54.280
 Our soul

00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:55.019
 Our mind

00:47:55.019 --> 00:47:55.640
 Our thinking

00:47:55.640 --> 00:47:56.119
 Everything

00:47:56.119 --> 00:47:57.640
 We get sucked in by it

00:47:57.639 --> 00:47:59.639
 And because of the

00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:01.000
 Deceitfulness of sin

00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:02.339
 Within and around us

00:48:02.339 --> 00:48:05.019
 It often has an impact

00:48:05.019 --> 00:48:06.859
 Upon our souls

00:48:06.859 --> 00:48:09.400
 And that's why it's saying here

00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:10.039
 That the love

00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:11.420
 Of many

00:48:11.420 --> 00:48:12.799
 Will grow cold

00:48:12.799 --> 00:48:14.699
 And an evidence

00:48:14.699 --> 00:48:15.599
 Of that love

00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:16.480
 Becoming cold

00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:17.299
 Is we see it

00:48:17.299 --> 00:48:18.079
 In the very things

00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:18.819
 That we mentioned

00:48:18.819 --> 00:48:20.679
 With regard to our love

00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:21.299
 For God

00:48:21.299 --> 00:48:23.339
 We become cold

00:48:23.339 --> 00:48:24.099
 To his day

00:48:24.099 --> 00:48:25.639
 Day doesn't mean

00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:26.960
 That much to us anymore

00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:27.519
 It was a day

00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:29.259
 We really appreciated

00:48:29.259 --> 00:48:30.019
 The Lord's day

00:48:30.019 --> 00:48:31.000
 Today it doesn't mean

00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:32.199
 Maybe it doesn't mean

00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:33.519
 That much

00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:36.000
 It's the same with the word

00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:38.319
 We call God's word

00:48:38.319 --> 00:48:39.440
 The daily bread

00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:42.239
 There was a time

00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:43.319
 We would never miss

00:48:43.319 --> 00:48:44.639
 Having our fill

00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:45.639
 Of the daily bread

00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:47.980
 But when our hearts

00:48:47.980 --> 00:48:49.079
 Grow cold

00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:50.879
 It might be days

00:48:50.879 --> 00:48:52.559
 Before we pick up

00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:53.420
 His word again

00:48:53.420 --> 00:48:55.180
 It doesn't have

00:48:55.180 --> 00:48:56.240
 The central place

00:48:56.240 --> 00:48:56.880
 In our lives

00:48:56.880 --> 00:48:57.820
 That it used to

00:48:57.820 --> 00:48:59.599
 We take it

00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:00.240
 And we leave it

00:49:00.240 --> 00:49:00.860
 We maybe just

00:49:00.860 --> 00:49:01.780
 Skip through it

00:49:01.780 --> 00:49:03.539
 Somebody says

00:49:03.539 --> 00:49:04.599
 What were you reading today

00:49:04.599 --> 00:49:05.019
 You'd have to

00:49:05.019 --> 00:49:05.900
 I haven't a clue

00:49:05.900 --> 00:49:08.119
 It's had no impression

00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:09.059
 No impact

00:49:09.059 --> 00:49:11.360
 Because our hearts

00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:12.320
 Are getting colder

00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:14.860
 And it's the same

00:49:14.860 --> 00:49:15.860
 With God's house

00:49:15.860 --> 00:49:17.240
 There was a day

00:49:17.240 --> 00:49:18.300
 We loved going there

00:49:18.300 --> 00:49:18.940
 And now maybe

00:49:18.940 --> 00:49:20.700
 Maybe we struggle

00:49:20.699 --> 00:49:22.460
 Maybe it's more

00:49:22.460 --> 00:49:23.199
 Out of a sense

00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:23.719
 Of duty

00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:24.519
 Than desire

00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:27.439
 Same with the church

00:49:27.439 --> 00:49:27.980
 Family

00:49:27.980 --> 00:49:29.319
 You see the way

00:49:29.319 --> 00:49:29.879
 Of the world

00:49:29.879 --> 00:49:31.019
 When the way

00:49:31.019 --> 00:49:31.419
 Of the world

00:49:31.419 --> 00:49:32.439
 Touches the church

00:49:32.439 --> 00:49:33.899
 The church begins

00:49:33.899 --> 00:49:35.439
 To think like the world

00:49:35.439 --> 00:49:37.460
 What does the church

00:49:37.460 --> 00:49:38.980
 What does love

00:49:38.980 --> 00:49:39.739
 Want to do

00:49:39.739 --> 00:49:42.299
 You think of a family

00:49:42.299 --> 00:49:43.899
 Love protects

00:49:43.899 --> 00:49:45.579
 Love covers

00:49:45.579 --> 00:49:47.439
 Love wants to do

00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:48.360
 The best for

00:49:48.360 --> 00:49:50.860
 But so often now

00:49:50.860 --> 00:49:51.539
 In the church

00:49:51.539 --> 00:49:53.139
 There's a devouring

00:49:53.139 --> 00:49:54.280
 There's no

00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:55.440
 There isn't the protection

00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:56.220
 There isn't

00:49:56.220 --> 00:49:56.579
 There's

00:49:56.579 --> 00:49:57.480
 You know we live

00:49:57.480 --> 00:49:58.280
 In a world today

00:49:58.280 --> 00:49:59.179
 Where people want

00:49:59.179 --> 00:50:00.340
 To expose everything

00:50:00.340 --> 00:50:02.179
 And there's this

00:50:02.179 --> 00:50:02.780
 Just this

00:50:02.780 --> 00:50:03.820
 There's always

00:50:03.820 --> 00:50:04.840
 This glare

00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:05.960
 Of everything

00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:06.840
 Is out there

00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:09.220
 And it's a cruel world

00:50:09.220 --> 00:50:11.460
 And we must guard

00:50:11.460 --> 00:50:12.179
 Against that

00:50:12.179 --> 00:50:13.320
 Sort of spirit

00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:14.240
 Within the church

00:50:14.240 --> 00:50:15.900
 Because the church

00:50:15.900 --> 00:50:16.700
 Is a family

00:50:16.699 --> 00:50:18.439
 Church of love

00:50:18.439 --> 00:50:20.000
 Family of love

00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:21.980
 So we've got to guard

00:50:21.980 --> 00:50:22.719
 Against the ways

00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:23.219
 Of the world

00:50:23.219 --> 00:50:23.879
 Beginning to

00:50:23.879 --> 00:50:25.179
 Impact us

00:50:25.179 --> 00:50:26.619
 Because the more

00:50:26.619 --> 00:50:27.439
 We resemble

00:50:27.439 --> 00:50:28.839
 The world

00:50:28.839 --> 00:50:29.519
 The less

00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:30.899
 We resemble

00:50:30.899 --> 00:50:31.519
 The Lord

00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:33.980
 But then we see

00:50:33.980 --> 00:50:35.339
 Despite

00:50:35.339 --> 00:50:36.879
 All the lawlessness

00:50:36.879 --> 00:50:38.399
 And despite

00:50:38.399 --> 00:50:39.000
 The love

00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:40.480
 Growing cold

00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:41.719
 It tells us

00:50:41.719 --> 00:50:42.559
 The one who endures

00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:43.239
 To the end

00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:44.179
 Will be saved

00:50:44.179 --> 00:50:46.359
 And that's a great thing

00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:47.099
 Because you know

00:50:47.099 --> 00:50:48.660
 The wonderful thing

00:50:48.660 --> 00:50:49.160
 Is that

00:50:49.160 --> 00:50:50.440
 Once we're safe

00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:50.940
 In Christ

00:50:50.940 --> 00:50:51.620
 We're safe

00:50:51.620 --> 00:50:54.340
 That's what Jesus said

00:50:54.340 --> 00:50:55.099
 I will give them

00:50:55.099 --> 00:50:55.900
 Eternal life

00:50:55.900 --> 00:50:56.599
 And they shall never

00:50:56.599 --> 00:50:57.099
 Perish

00:50:57.099 --> 00:50:58.700
 Neither shall anyone

00:50:58.700 --> 00:51:00.280
 Pluck them out of my hand

00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:01.519
 Father

00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:02.280
 Son

00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:03.340
 And spirit

00:51:03.340 --> 00:51:04.640
 Are involved

00:51:04.640 --> 00:51:05.640
 In your salvation

00:51:05.640 --> 00:51:07.539
 Involved in saving you

00:51:07.539 --> 00:51:08.820
 Looking after you

00:51:08.820 --> 00:51:09.380
 In this world

00:51:09.380 --> 00:51:10.220
 And taking you home

00:51:10.220 --> 00:51:12.059
 It's all part of the work

00:51:12.059 --> 00:51:13.660
 Part of their great work

00:51:13.659 --> 00:51:14.859
 And although

00:51:14.859 --> 00:51:15.719
 We may stray

00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:16.460
 And our hearts

00:51:16.460 --> 00:51:17.299
 Grow cold

00:51:17.299 --> 00:51:18.739
 And maybe

00:51:18.739 --> 00:51:20.440
 For some

00:51:20.440 --> 00:51:21.119
 Or all of us

00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:22.059
 Today we have to say

00:51:22.059 --> 00:51:22.319
 You know

00:51:22.319 --> 00:51:23.559
 I'm not where I used to be

00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:25.019
 I have to confess

00:51:25.019 --> 00:51:25.559
 That maybe

00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:26.559
 Maybe you're having

00:51:26.559 --> 00:51:27.279
 To say that

00:51:27.279 --> 00:51:28.059
 Yeah

00:51:28.059 --> 00:51:29.519
 That's me

00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:30.079
 Sadly

00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:31.859
 God's house

00:51:31.859 --> 00:51:32.619
 God's word

00:51:32.619 --> 00:51:33.619
 Doesn't mean the same

00:51:33.619 --> 00:51:33.980
 To me

00:51:33.980 --> 00:51:34.779
 God's people

00:51:34.779 --> 00:51:35.839
 Don't mean the same

00:51:35.839 --> 00:51:36.239
 To me

00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:37.139
 God's day

00:51:37.139 --> 00:51:38.139
 Doesn't mean the same

00:51:38.139 --> 00:51:38.399
 To me

00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:40.019
 Well if so

00:51:40.019 --> 00:51:41.000
 We need to repent

00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:43.160
 That's what Jesus said

00:51:43.160 --> 00:51:43.780
 To the church

00:51:43.780 --> 00:51:44.840
 In Laodicea

00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:46.619
 You've got to repent

00:51:46.619 --> 00:51:48.160
 He said it quite often

00:51:48.160 --> 00:51:48.980
 To the churches

00:51:48.980 --> 00:51:51.400
 But you know

00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:52.920
 The wonderful thing is

00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:53.160
 That

00:51:53.160 --> 00:51:54.559
 The Christian

00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:55.500
 Will keep going

00:51:55.500 --> 00:51:57.559
 Despite the falls

00:51:57.559 --> 00:51:58.139
 Despite

00:51:58.139 --> 00:51:59.700
 And let's remember

00:51:59.700 --> 00:52:00.900
 That we live in a world

00:52:00.900 --> 00:52:01.980
 That's powerful

00:52:01.980 --> 00:52:03.619
 That sucks us

00:52:03.619 --> 00:52:04.059
 In

00:52:04.059 --> 00:52:06.160
 But you know

00:52:06.160 --> 00:52:07.139
 When you go to the Bible

00:52:07.139 --> 00:52:10.179
 There are exceptional saints

00:52:10.179 --> 00:52:10.980
 Like Daniel

00:52:10.980 --> 00:52:13.019
 And you look at him

00:52:13.019 --> 00:52:14.359
 He was greatly loved

00:52:14.359 --> 00:52:15.579
 Beloved of the Lord

00:52:15.579 --> 00:52:17.279
 He was an exceptional man

00:52:17.279 --> 00:52:19.659
 But there were a lot of other

00:52:19.659 --> 00:52:20.779
 Exceptional men

00:52:20.779 --> 00:52:21.960
 And they fell

00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:23.920
 That's one of the beauties

00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:25.359
 And the honesty of the Bible

00:52:25.359 --> 00:52:27.879
 And you look at your lots

00:52:27.879 --> 00:52:29.420
 Righteous lot

00:52:29.420 --> 00:52:31.500
 The New Testament calls it

00:52:31.500 --> 00:52:33.460
 Look at David

00:52:33.460 --> 00:52:34.599
 What was the term

00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:35.739
 That was used to him

00:52:35.739 --> 00:52:38.699
 A man after God's own heart

00:52:38.699 --> 00:52:41.679
 What a declaration

00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:44.799
 What a unique believer

00:52:44.799 --> 00:52:45.659
 David was

00:52:45.659 --> 00:52:46.079
 And yet

00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:48.739
 We see David succumbed

00:52:48.739 --> 00:52:49.959
 To temptation

00:52:49.959 --> 00:52:52.519
 And then not only

00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:54.259
 Did he succumb to temptation

00:52:54.259 --> 00:52:56.019
 But he tried to cover his tracks

00:52:56.019 --> 00:52:57.239
 In the most awful way

00:52:57.239 --> 00:52:58.299
 By murder

00:52:58.299 --> 00:53:00.739
 A saint of God

00:53:00.739 --> 00:53:02.399
 You look at Peter

00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:03.099
 There was nobody

00:53:03.099 --> 00:53:04.820
 Who voiced his love

00:53:04.820 --> 00:53:06.180
 For Jesus more

00:53:06.180 --> 00:53:07.280
 Oh

00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:07.860
 He said

00:53:07.860 --> 00:53:08.639
 So other people

00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:09.920
 Will do this and that

00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:11.300
 Count on me Lord

00:53:11.300 --> 00:53:13.519
 And yet a little later

00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:14.519
 You're seeing Peter

00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:15.579
 With oaths

00:53:15.579 --> 00:53:16.340
 And with curses

00:53:16.340 --> 00:53:17.780
 Denying that he ever knew

00:53:17.780 --> 00:53:19.039
 Anything about Jesus

00:53:19.039 --> 00:53:20.440
 You see

00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:21.059
 We're weak

00:53:21.059 --> 00:53:21.880
 We're frail

00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:23.960
 But you know

00:53:23.960 --> 00:53:25.099
 God's love is so great

00:53:25.099 --> 00:53:26.099
 He doesn't let us go

00:53:26.099 --> 00:53:27.480
 Despite that

00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:29.659
 He's still holding on to us

00:53:29.659 --> 00:53:31.079
 That's the beauty of it

00:53:31.079 --> 00:53:33.199
 Because he's saving us

00:53:33.199 --> 00:53:35.280
 Saving us from ourselves

00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:36.760
 But it isn't just a matter of

00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:39.019
 Being saved as it were

00:53:39.019 --> 00:53:40.380
 In this world

00:53:40.380 --> 00:53:42.099
 In the sense that our soul

00:53:42.099 --> 00:53:44.260
 Is saved from the Lord Jesus Christ

00:53:44.260 --> 00:53:45.840
 Because

00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:47.900
 When Jesus says here

00:53:47.900 --> 00:53:48.760
 We'll be saved

00:53:48.760 --> 00:53:50.820
 He's talking about the full salvation

00:53:50.820 --> 00:53:52.920
 Our salvation has begun

00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:53.719
 The moment

00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:56.019
 We've come to trust in Jesus Christ

00:53:56.019 --> 00:53:57.960
 But that's not the end of it

00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:00.380
 Our souls

00:54:00.380 --> 00:54:02.380
 Will pass

00:54:02.380 --> 00:54:03.500
 Into glory

00:54:03.500 --> 00:54:05.039
 The moment

00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:05.920
 We die

00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:08.340
 That's what will happen

00:54:08.340 --> 00:54:10.079
 For every single one

00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:11.699
 Who trusts in Jesus

00:54:11.699 --> 00:54:13.980
 And at that moment

00:54:13.980 --> 00:54:14.960
 We will discover

00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:16.719
 What salvation is

00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:18.059
 In an ever greater measure

00:54:18.059 --> 00:54:19.699
 We will see

00:54:19.699 --> 00:54:20.980
 What it involved

00:54:20.980 --> 00:54:23.159
 And we will see the

00:54:23.159 --> 00:54:25.639
 Towards the end results

00:54:25.639 --> 00:54:26.759
 Of the wonder

00:54:26.759 --> 00:54:28.019
 Of the glory

00:54:28.019 --> 00:54:29.179
 That has been prepared

00:54:29.179 --> 00:54:29.799
 For us

00:54:29.799 --> 00:54:31.960
 But that's not the end

00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:33.779
 Because we have to leave

00:54:33.779 --> 00:54:34.819
 Our bodies behind

00:54:34.819 --> 00:54:36.839
 And our bodies

00:54:36.839 --> 00:54:38.980
 Which are so important to us

00:54:38.980 --> 00:54:41.900
 And in our Christian life

00:54:41.900 --> 00:54:43.379
 Have been such a part

00:54:43.379 --> 00:54:45.079
 Of our Christian work

00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:47.139
 Hands that served

00:54:47.139 --> 00:54:49.179
 Tongues that sang

00:54:49.179 --> 00:54:50.039
 And confessed

00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:52.379
 Feet that carried us

00:54:52.380 --> 00:54:54.160
 Our bodies

00:54:54.160 --> 00:54:56.340
 And so often

00:54:56.340 --> 00:54:57.140
 We see this

00:54:57.140 --> 00:54:57.840
 Oh it's awful

00:54:57.840 --> 00:54:59.019
 Have to put the body

00:54:59.019 --> 00:55:00.079
 But it's not the end

00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:01.820
 Because the body

00:55:01.820 --> 00:55:02.440
 Will just

00:55:02.440 --> 00:55:04.420
 As Jesus rose from the dead

00:55:04.420 --> 00:55:05.900
 So shall we

00:55:05.900 --> 00:55:07.680
 And our bodies

00:55:07.680 --> 00:55:08.599
 Will be fitted

00:55:08.599 --> 00:55:09.599
 They will be made

00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:10.260
 Right

00:55:10.260 --> 00:55:11.680
 Same body

00:55:11.680 --> 00:55:13.420
 Not somebody else's

00:55:13.420 --> 00:55:14.760
 Or not other

00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:15.760
 Components

00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:17.740
 But our own body

00:55:17.740 --> 00:55:19.540
 Will rise

00:55:19.540 --> 00:55:20.420
 And reunite

00:55:20.420 --> 00:55:21.200
 With our soul

00:55:21.200 --> 00:55:22.740
 Being made

00:55:22.740 --> 00:55:23.740
 Suited and fitted

00:55:23.740 --> 00:55:25.220
 For the glorious

00:55:25.220 --> 00:55:26.020
 Environment

00:55:26.020 --> 00:55:27.640
 That we will be in

00:55:27.640 --> 00:55:28.060
 Forever

00:55:28.060 --> 00:55:30.120
 And only then

00:55:30.120 --> 00:55:32.080
 Will we fully discover

00:55:32.080 --> 00:55:34.400
 What being saved

00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:35.800
 Actually means

00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:37.560
 Because that is

00:55:37.560 --> 00:55:39.060
 What Jesus is talking about

00:55:39.060 --> 00:55:40.420
 Those who endure

00:55:40.420 --> 00:55:40.960
 To the end

00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:42.700
 Will be saved

00:55:42.699 --> 00:55:44.439
 That is the full

00:55:44.439 --> 00:55:45.339
 Salvation

00:55:45.339 --> 00:55:47.219
 That awaits

00:55:47.219 --> 00:55:49.000
 And the wonder

00:55:49.000 --> 00:55:49.859
 Of this gospel

00:55:49.859 --> 00:55:51.559
 Is that it isn't

00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:52.279
 Confined

00:55:52.279 --> 00:55:53.279
 Just to one

00:55:53.279 --> 00:55:54.000
 We spot

00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:55.899
 Before the end

00:55:55.899 --> 00:55:56.619
 Comes

00:55:56.619 --> 00:55:58.159
 The gospel

00:55:58.159 --> 00:55:58.819
 Will reach

00:55:58.819 --> 00:55:59.779
 All nations

00:55:59.779 --> 00:56:00.819
 And then the end

00:56:00.819 --> 00:56:01.460
 Will come

00:56:01.460 --> 00:56:03.000
 And now

00:56:03.000 --> 00:56:03.739
 What a wonderful

00:56:03.739 --> 00:56:05.460
 Prospect that is

00:56:05.460 --> 00:56:08.239
 Are you today

00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:09.699
 Safe in Jesus

00:56:09.699 --> 00:56:11.359
 Because there's

00:56:11.359 --> 00:56:11.980
 Nowhere else

00:56:11.980 --> 00:56:13.240
 It's a cruel

00:56:13.240 --> 00:56:14.300
 World out there

00:56:14.300 --> 00:56:15.860
 But there's

00:56:15.860 --> 00:56:16.559
 A safety

00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:18.000
 A security

00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:19.440
 A warmth

00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:20.380
 A peace

00:56:20.380 --> 00:56:20.960
 In Jesus

00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:22.360
 And there's

00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:23.039
 Nothing that the

00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:23.539
 Lord would

00:56:23.539 --> 00:56:24.539
 Love more

00:56:24.539 --> 00:56:25.900
 Than you to

00:56:25.900 --> 00:56:26.480
 Ask him

00:56:26.480 --> 00:56:27.159
 Right now

00:56:27.159 --> 00:56:28.199
 Lord

00:56:28.199 --> 00:56:29.679
 Come into

00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:30.400
 My heart

00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:31.619
 Be

00:56:31.619 --> 00:56:32.800
 My saviour

00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:33.699
 Let us pray

00:56:33.699 --> 00:56:35.280
 Lord our God

00:56:35.280 --> 00:56:36.059
 We pray

00:56:36.059 --> 00:56:37.059
 Today to bless

00:56:37.059 --> 00:56:37.300
 Us

00:56:37.300 --> 00:56:39.740
 As we read

00:56:39.740 --> 00:56:40.360
 Your word

00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:41.059
 We see

00:56:41.059 --> 00:56:41.860
 Difficulties

00:56:41.860 --> 00:56:43.000
 But we see

00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:43.640
 Blessings

00:56:43.640 --> 00:56:44.840
 We give

00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:45.420
 Thanks for

00:56:45.420 --> 00:56:46.000
 Your word

00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:47.240
 And we pray

00:56:47.240 --> 00:56:47.900
 That we might

00:56:47.900 --> 00:56:48.559
 Listen to it

00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:48.840
 Well

00:56:48.840 --> 00:56:50.059
 And that we

00:56:50.059 --> 00:56:50.640
 Might act

00:56:50.640 --> 00:56:51.519
 Wisely on it

00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:52.260
 By your grace

00:56:52.260 --> 00:56:53.860
 We pray to

00:56:53.860 --> 00:56:54.420
 Watch over

00:56:54.420 --> 00:56:55.120
 Each and every

00:56:55.120 --> 00:56:55.680
 One of us

00:56:55.680 --> 00:56:56.300
 Bless the cup

00:56:56.300 --> 00:56:56.599
 Of tea

00:56:56.599 --> 00:56:57.120
 In the hall

00:56:57.120 --> 00:56:57.440
 After

00:56:57.440 --> 00:56:58.180
 Take us all

00:56:58.180 --> 00:56:58.980
 Home safely

00:56:58.980 --> 00:56:59.579
 We pray

00:56:59.579 --> 00:57:00.440
 Do us good

00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:01.360
 And take

00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:01.579
 And take away

00:57:01.579 --> 00:57:02.360
 Every sin

00:57:02.360 --> 00:57:02.820
 In Jesus

00:57:02.820 --> 00:57:03.220
 Name

00:57:03.220 --> 00:57:03.780
 Amen

00:57:03.780 --> 00:57:07.480
 We're going to

00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:08.260
 Conclude singing

00:57:08.260 --> 00:57:09.360
 In Psalm 80

00:57:09.360 --> 00:57:10.480
 The 80th

00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:11.380
 Psalm from

00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:23.720

00:57:24.720 --> 00:57:26.840

00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:27.980
 Verses

00:57:27.980 --> 00:57:29.480
 Oh let thy

00:57:29.480 --> 00:57:30.360
 Hand be still

00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:31.039
 Upon the man

00:57:31.039 --> 00:57:31.820
 Of thy right

00:57:31.820 --> 00:57:32.219
 Hand

00:57:32.219 --> 00:57:33.800
 The son of man

 Whom for thyself

00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:35.719
 Thou madest

00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:37.019
 Strong to stand

00:57:37.019 --> 00:57:38.699
 So henceforth

00:57:38.699 --> 00:57:39.319
 We will not

00:57:39.319 --> 00:57:39.919
 Go back

00:57:39.919 --> 00:57:40.980
 Nor turn

00:57:40.980 --> 00:57:41.480
 From thee

00:57:41.480 --> 00:57:42.000
 At all

00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:43.199
 Oh do thou

00:57:43.199 --> 00:57:43.799
 Quicken us

00:57:43.799 --> 00:57:44.379
 And we upon

 Thy name

00:57:44.939 --> 00:57:45.619
 Will call

00:57:45.619 --> 00:57:46.839
 Turn us

 Lord God

00:57:48.159 --> 00:57:48.679
 Of hosts

00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:49.480

00:57:52.879 --> 00:57:53.480
 And so

00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:54.460
 We shall

 Be saved
