00:00:00.700 --> 00:00:06.940
 We'll begin our worship by singing to God's praise in Psalm 95 in the Scottish Psalter.

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.480
 We're going to sing from verse 6 down to verse 11.

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.300
 Psalm 95 in the Scottish Psalter at verse 6.

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:22.039
 O come and let us worship him, let us bow down with all,

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:25.820
 and on our knees before the Lord our Maker let us fall.

00:00:25.820 --> 00:00:30.000
 For he's our God, the people we of his own pasture are,

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:35.420
 and of his hand the sheep today, if ye his voice will hear.

00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:40.399
 And so on. We'll sing from verse 6 down to verse 11, and the tune is Gainsborough.

00:00:45.980 --> 00:00:54.700
 O come and let us worship him,

00:00:54.700 --> 00:01:02.300
 Let us plunder with all,

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:12.079
 And on our knees before the Lord,

00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:19.700
 Our Maker let us fall.

00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:39.000
 For he's our God, the people we of his own pasture are,

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:49.099
 And of his hand the sheep today,

00:01:49.099 --> 00:01:57.740
 And he his voice will hear.

00:01:57.739 --> 00:02:05.739
 Then harden all due hearts,

00:02:05.739 --> 00:02:15.740
 Our sin and provocation,

00:02:15.740 --> 00:02:17.740
 As in the rest of the day of the temptation,

00:02:17.740 --> 00:02:33.740
 As in the rest of the day of the temptation,

00:02:33.740 --> 00:02:45.740
 When me your Father's strength and crew,

00:02:45.740 --> 00:02:53.740
 How did my work in sin?

00:02:53.740 --> 00:03:03.740
 In mind, the face of forty years,

00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:11.740
 This grace hath beared me.

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:23.980
 I send this people less in high.

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:30.740
 My ways they do not know.

00:03:30.740 --> 00:03:49.740
 To whom I slip in wrath, not to my rest they should not go.

00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:57.740
 Let's come to God in prayer.

00:03:57.740 --> 00:03:58.520
 Let us pray.

00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:01.740
 Amen.

00:04:03.540 --> 00:04:10.879
 Our Father in heaven as we continue to worship your name and praise you as our Lord and our maker.

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:19.579
 We thank you that again we can come in praise and worship for that is your call to us as your people.

00:04:19.579 --> 00:04:23.219
 That is the call that we have sung from this psalm.

00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:30.020
 We as a people are to come and worship you, to bow down before you and on our knees before you fall.

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.620
 For you are our maker and our Lord.

00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:37.980
 And we thank you, Lord, that the way is opened up for us.

00:04:38.379 --> 00:04:44.240
 That we have such a great privilege to be able to worship you in peace and security.

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:49.180
 But help us, Lord, never to take these things for granted.

00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:57.800
 Help us, even this day, as we have been around your word and around the sacrament of the Lord's Supper.

00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:03.500
 Never just to think that this is always going to be what our Lord is.

00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:08.740
 For we know, Lord, that there is much blessing in your word for your people.

00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:19.699
 We are so encouraged through your word that you are a God who has loved us and remembered us and given us your own son as the way to salvation.

00:05:20.340 --> 00:05:23.060
 But your word stands through too.

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.860
 There is a warning in it as well.

00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.639
 Even the warning that we have sung from these words before us.

00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:37.040
 That we as a people, we are not to harden our hearts as we hear your word.

00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:44.960
 There was a warning from the psalmist to the people then of their forefathers who had indeed hardened their hearts.

00:05:45.640 --> 00:05:53.240
 And we live in a day and an age when the same is true of so many around us and even so many of ourselves.

00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:56.080
 When our hearts can become hardened.

00:05:56.820 --> 00:05:59.520
 When we do not listen to what your word is saying.

00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:02.860
 When we heed and listen to the wisdom of this world.

00:06:02.860 --> 00:06:07.759
 And to all the things that will lead us astray and lead us away from you.

00:06:08.520 --> 00:06:10.680
 And so we pray anew this night, Lord.

00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.300
 That you will speak to us.

00:06:13.900 --> 00:06:15.800
 But that we will have ears to hear.

00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.100
 And that your spirit will work in our midst.

00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.660
 That your spirit will minister to our hearts.

00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:35.340
 That you will, O Lord, melt our hearts.

00:06:35.780 --> 00:06:36.880
 By your grace.

00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:37.920
 By your mercy.

00:06:38.460 --> 00:06:39.500
 By your love.

00:06:40.200 --> 00:06:42.620
 For we know we cannot do it ourselves.

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:44.720
 Because only you can.

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:50.860
 But we thank you that there is so many promises in your word that we can hold on to.

00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:58.780
 That we can remember and even pray over as we come to you as the only way to salvation.

00:06:58.779 --> 00:07:04.579
 We thank you that there is a promise that for all who come you will never cast them away.

00:07:05.299 --> 00:07:09.819
 That there is a promise that all who come to you, you will give them rest.

00:07:10.739 --> 00:07:14.879
 There is a promise that all who come to you, you will hold on to.

00:07:15.359 --> 00:07:17.539
 That you will never forsake them or leave them.

00:07:18.299 --> 00:07:20.639
 And so we pray, Lord, for all your promises.

00:07:21.359 --> 00:07:23.959
 That they will be ours through Christ Jesus.

00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:31.060
 And that we may know them more and more precious in our hearts and in our experiences day by day.

00:07:31.779 --> 00:07:36.879
 The more we go on, the more we learn through the joys of this world.

00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:39.259
 But also through the sorrows that it brings.

00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.459
 We experience, O Lord, so often the highs and the lows.

00:07:44.359 --> 00:07:48.659
 We so often feel alone and helpless in these times.

00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.679
 And so we thank you, Lord, for your promise to draw near.

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.439
 And the promise and encouragement that we have in your word.

00:07:56.579 --> 00:07:59.939
 That we are indeed to be a people who encourage one another.

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:01.579
 And pray for one another.

00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:04.840
 Remembering one another in so many different ways.

00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:08.560
 So help us, Lord, that we will be a praying people.

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:10.519
 An encouraged people.

00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:15.960
 A people with a sense of expectation of what you are doing in us and around us.

00:08:16.500 --> 00:08:18.759
 And in the midst of all that goes on.

00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:23.159
 That we would see that you are the God who does indeed do all things well.

00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:28.539
 Help us to understand these truths, Lord, when they are difficult for us.

00:08:29.379 --> 00:08:32.319
 And so we thank you that you have not left us.

00:08:32.819 --> 00:08:35.580
 That you have spoken and are speaking to us.

00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:41.279
 And that you are reminding us, Lord, of the wonderful gift of your grace.

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.019
 Help us to long for it more and more.

00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:51.519
 And to experience it through that faith that comes from your grace towards us.

00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.399
 That faith in Jesus Christ, your Son.

00:08:55.179 --> 00:09:00.459
 We thank you, Lord, for the encouragements your people receive on a day-to-day basis.

00:09:01.299 --> 00:09:05.019
 We thank you that even as we pray in our own quietness of our homes.

00:09:05.199 --> 00:09:07.339
 And in the quietness of our own hearts.

00:09:07.419 --> 00:09:10.279
 That so often we see prayers answered.

00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:20.199
 And we thank you, Lord, that even before us this day, there are prayers answered now and from maybe even many generations past.

00:09:20.860 --> 00:09:24.339
 Prayers offered up by your people maybe long ago.

00:09:25.319 --> 00:09:30.779
 Prayers for children in young years who are now into old age.

00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:34.600
 But who have come and tasted of the goodness of God.

00:09:35.199 --> 00:09:38.519
 We know, Lord, your word teaches us to be patient.

00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:42.019
 And we continue to pray with that sense of urgency.

00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.279
 That sense of patience to wait upon you.

00:09:45.819 --> 00:09:48.740
 Praying for those who are still strangers to you.

00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:53.319
 Praying for those who are even in the darkness of this world tonight.

00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.899
 Praying for those who are struggling in so many different ways.

00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.519
 Those known to us and even those who we do not know.

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.319
 Those who in your plan and purpose.

00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.199
 Maybe we are yet to meet.

00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:10.319
 Yet to have opportunity to share a word in season with.

00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:12.840
 But we thank you that in your kingdom.

00:10:13.419 --> 00:10:15.259
 And in your plan and purpose.

00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:17.340
 Everything is foreordained.

00:10:18.100 --> 00:10:21.259
 And so help us to commit ourselves into your hands.

00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.100
 And to go forward even from this day.

00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:27.539
 In the knowledge of all that is uncertain for us.

00:10:28.059 --> 00:10:29.399
 Is known unto you.

00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:33.840
 And we pray, Lord, your will be done in all things.

00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:36.919
 We thank you for our Lord and Saviour.

00:10:37.539 --> 00:10:39.860
 The one who we have remembered this day.

00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.659
 The one who has done all for us.

00:10:44.340 --> 00:10:48.759
 We pray, Lord, and thank you for the many prayers he offered up.

00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:50.419
 The prayers we read in scripture.

00:10:51.179 --> 00:10:52.899
 The prayer in Gethsemane.

00:10:53.139 --> 00:10:55.879
 Even as he looked ahead to the cross.

00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:00.860
 And saying, nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done.

00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:03.800
 We thank you for that great sacrifice.

00:11:04.659 --> 00:11:06.460
 We thank you that he gave his life.

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:08.759
 We thank you anew this evening.

00:11:09.220 --> 00:11:10.279
 That he is risen.

00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:12.360
 That he has overcome.

00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.039
 The power of sin.

00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:15.720
 The power of death.

00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:17.779
 That it could not keep hold of him.

00:11:18.379 --> 00:11:20.379
 But we thank you that he is risen.

00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:22.039
 And has appeared to many.

00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:24.139
 And that he has now ascended.

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.039
 To the right hand.

00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.799
 And we await the day of his return.

00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:30.779
 In a world that groans.

00:11:31.019 --> 00:11:32.620
 In a world that has many pains.

00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.120
 We do thank you that we look forward to a day.

00:11:36.579 --> 00:11:37.939
 When he will come again.

00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:43.139
 And we pray, Lord, that even those thoughts of the Lord's return.

00:11:43.699 --> 00:11:46.899
 Will stir us up in our mission for God in this world.

00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:49.219
 That it will stir us up as a church.

00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:50.759
 To serve you aright.

00:11:51.379 --> 00:11:53.899
 To long to see many coming to salvation.

00:11:53.899 --> 00:11:58.319
 To long to see many throughout the world.

00:11:58.459 --> 00:12:00.340
 Turning to you.

00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.299
 Repenting of their sins.

00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:05.179
 And hearing the great gospel message.

00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.959
 We thank you for every way it goes out.

00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:10.799
 We thank you for every means that there is.

00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.779
 To share the gospel in this day and this age.

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.639
 We thank you that even as we gather here.

00:12:17.199 --> 00:12:18.299
 This is a service.

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.500
 And a worship that can be heard.

00:12:20.659 --> 00:12:22.100
 To all the ends of the earth.

00:12:22.100 --> 00:12:25.460
 How our world has changed in so many ways.

00:12:26.180 --> 00:12:30.100
 That a voice can be heard in the far corners of the world.

00:12:30.259 --> 00:12:31.120
 Even immediately.

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.120
 But we thank you above all that your voice is heard.

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.519
 That you are a God who knows every person throughout the lands.

00:12:40.040 --> 00:12:44.860
 That you are a God who speaks and ministers to people far and wide.

00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:50.440
 We thank you that your gospel is not contained in any way, shape or form.

00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.279
 We do pray Lord for the ongoing ministry of your word.

00:12:55.019 --> 00:12:57.120
 Whether it's the preaching of your word.

00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.879
 The translating of your word into the many languages of this world.

00:13:01.460 --> 00:13:04.480
 The ministry of your people in so many different ways.

00:13:04.860 --> 00:13:06.340
 To all ends of the earth.

00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:07.019
 Teaching.

00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:08.879
 Shepherding.

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:08.919
 Shepherding.

00:13:09.019 --> 00:13:09.460
 Guiding.

00:13:09.699 --> 00:13:10.179
 Helping.

00:13:10.319 --> 00:13:10.720
 Nourishing.

00:13:11.319 --> 00:13:11.720
 Caring.

00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:13.539
 And for so many different people.

00:13:14.079 --> 00:13:15.600
 In so many different places.

00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:19.120
 We ask and plead though Lord your mercy upon us.

00:13:19.659 --> 00:13:28.319
 That our world would see the great emptiness of a desire for self in this world.

00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.939
 A selfish heart that longs for the things of this world in a greedy way.

00:13:33.940 --> 00:13:39.960
 We see so much around us that makes us troubled in our hearts and our souls.

00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:44.680
 And we know too Lord that you grieve over the lust of this world.

00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:49.220
 And so we pray Lord that you will come in a day of your power.

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.800
 Remember us as a people Lord.

00:13:51.900 --> 00:13:57.000
 Look down upon us and remember those who we so love and care for in our own homes.

00:13:57.100 --> 00:14:00.300
 And our families and our communities near and far.

00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:05.000
 Remember us Lord and hear our prayers as we ask all things.

00:14:05.479 --> 00:14:07.139
 Acknowledging our sin anew.

00:14:07.740 --> 00:14:11.899
 But thankful for the forgiveness that is ours as we repent and confess.

00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:16.500
 And approach that great throne of your son Christ Jesus.

00:14:17.019 --> 00:14:18.459
 Our great high priest.

00:14:19.099 --> 00:14:21.299
 We thank you for all done for us.

00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:23.459
 And we pray Lord encourage us.

00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:24.799
 Strengthen us on the way.

00:14:25.299 --> 00:14:28.219
 Even into the rest of the week that lies ahead before us.

00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:30.720
 Guard us oh Lord and keep us.

00:14:31.420 --> 00:14:34.879
 And help us to have that great expectation of you.

00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:39.100
 The one who is able to do abundantly more than we ask or imagine.

00:14:39.660 --> 00:14:42.920
 As we commit ourselves into your hands now and always.

00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:44.420
 Go before us.

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.860
 Cleanse us anew.

00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:47.019
 In all we ask.

00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.500
 We ask in Jesus name for his sake.

00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:50.440
 Amen.

00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:50.540
 Amen.

00:14:50.539 --> 00:14:56.539
 Let's again sing to God's praise.

00:14:56.620 --> 00:15:00.019
 This time I'm singing in Psalm 5 in the Scottish Psalter.

00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.860
 It's on page 203.

00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.620
 Psalm 5 on page 203.

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:12.959
 We're going to sing from verse 1 to verse 7.

00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.060
 Give ear unto my words.

00:15:16.259 --> 00:15:18.100
 O Lord my meditation way.

00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:19.840
 Hear my loud cry.

00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:21.060
 My King my God.

00:15:21.160 --> 00:15:22.560
 For I to thee will pray.

00:15:23.280 --> 00:15:25.540
 Lord thou shalt early hear my voice.

00:15:25.940 --> 00:15:27.200
 I early will direct.

00:15:27.340 --> 00:15:29.220
 My prayer to thee and looking up.

00:15:29.660 --> 00:15:31.800
 An answer will expect.

00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.019
 We'll sing from verse 1 to verse 7.

00:15:34.420 --> 00:15:36.639
 To God's praise on the tune of Spor.

00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:46.759
 Give ear unto my words.

00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:48.840
 O Lord.

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:55.840
 My meditation way.

00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.840
 Hear my loud cry.

00:16:01.539 --> 00:16:06.039
 My King my God.

00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:13.039
 For I to thee will pray.

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:24.199
 Lord thou shalt early hear my voice.

00:16:24.199 --> 00:16:31.899
 I early will dry head.

00:16:31.899 --> 00:16:40.899
 My prayer to thee and looking up.

00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:47.899
 An answer will expect.

00:16:47.899 --> 00:16:54.899
 For thou art not.

00:16:54.899 --> 00:16:55.899
 God thou art not.

00:16:55.899 --> 00:16:59.899
 God thou art not.

00:16:59.899 --> 00:17:06.900
 In wickedness delight.

00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:17.079
 Neither shall evil dwell with thee.

00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:18.079
 Nor will thou art not.

00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:24.079
 Nor will thou stand in thy sight.

00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.079
 All that will do.

00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.079
 All that will do.

00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.079
 Or shine thy heart.

00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:39.079
 God's love that fire.

00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:40.079
 Lord thou art not.

00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.079
 O Valentine shall see.

00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:48.079
 M Gesetzent may andingsbee.

00:17:48.079 --> 00:18:00.079
 Unbeceived woman, a poetess by thee.

00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:18.379
 But I into thy house will come, and thine abundant grace.

00:18:18.380 --> 00:18:35.940
 And I will worship in thy fear, to hold my holy grace.

00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:47.700
 Well, can we turn together to read God's word in the New Testament and in the book of Acts?

00:18:48.380 --> 00:18:52.460
 The book of Acts, chapter 2.

00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:56.920
 Let me take up our reading at verse 14.

00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:02.200
 Acts chapter 2, reading at verse 14.

00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:14.140
 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them.

00:19:14.140 --> 00:19:22.800
 Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give ear to my words.

00:19:23.520 --> 00:19:29.820
 For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:33.859
 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel.

00:19:33.859 --> 00:19:40.579
 And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh.

00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.119
 And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.

00:19:44.879 --> 00:19:47.039
 And your young men shall see visions.

00:19:47.419 --> 00:19:49.799
 And your old men shall dream dreams.

00:19:50.879 --> 00:19:53.579
 Even on my male servants and female servants.

00:19:53.579 --> 00:19:56.359
 To those days I will pour out my spirit.

00:19:56.879 --> 00:19:57.919
 And they shall prophesy.

00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:01.259
 And I will show wonders in the heavens above.

00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:03.399
 And signs on the earth below.

00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:06.240
 Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

00:20:06.859 --> 00:20:08.859
 The sun shall be turned to darkness.

00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:10.759
 And the moon to blood.

00:20:11.159 --> 00:20:13.699
 Before the day of the Lord comes.

00:20:14.339 --> 00:20:16.699
 The great and magnificent day.

00:20:16.700 --> 00:20:23.140
 And shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.080
 Men of Israel, hear these words.

00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:34.080
 Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs.

00:20:34.660 --> 00:20:38.279
 That God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.

00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:44.319
 This Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God.

00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:53.700
 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death.

00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:56.759
 Because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

00:20:57.539 --> 00:20:59.559
 For David says concerning him,

00:21:00.539 --> 00:21:03.039
 I saw the Lord always before me.

00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:06.960
 For he is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.

00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:09.519
 Therefore my heart was glad.

00:21:10.059 --> 00:21:11.439
 And my tongue rejoiced.

00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:14.400
 My flesh also will dwell in hope.

00:21:15.120 --> 00:21:17.840
 For you will not abandon my soul to haze.

00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:20.480
 Or let your holy ones see corruption.

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:24.559
 You have made known to me the paths of life.

00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:29.360
 You will make me full of gladness with your presence.

00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:34.720
 Brothers, I say to you with confidence about the patriarch David.

00:21:35.059 --> 00:21:37.200
 That he both died and was buried.

00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:40.559
 And his tomb is with us to this day.

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:43.019
 Being therefore a prophet.

00:21:43.019 --> 00:21:49.759
 And knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would not set one of his descendants on his throne.

00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:53.940
 He foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ.

00:21:54.579 --> 00:21:56.599
 That he was not abandoned to haze.

00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:59.399
 Nor did his flesh see corruption.

00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.299
 This Jesus God raised up.

00:22:03.299 --> 00:22:05.940
 And of that we all are witnesses.

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:10.019
 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God.

00:22:10.259 --> 00:22:14.119
 And having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit.

00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.839
 He has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.

00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:22.480
 For David did not ascend into the heavens.

00:22:23.159 --> 00:22:24.539
 But he himself says.

00:22:24.539 --> 00:22:27.079
 The Lord said to my Lord.

00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:28.920
 Sit at my right hand.

00:22:29.139 --> 00:22:31.920
 Until I make your enemies your footstool.

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.920
 Let all of the house of Israel therefore know for certain.

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:39.759
 That God has made him both Lord and Christ.

00:22:40.339 --> 00:22:42.579
 This Jesus whom you crucified.

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.639
 Now when they heard this.

00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:47.740
 They were cut to the heart.

00:22:48.259 --> 00:22:50.680
 And said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles.

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:53.920
 Brothers what shall we do?

00:22:55.100 --> 00:22:56.620
 And Peter said to them.

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:57.920
 Repent.

00:22:58.600 --> 00:22:59.560
 And be baptized.

00:22:59.980 --> 00:23:02.420
 Every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ.

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.960
 For the forgiveness of your sins.

00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:08.180
 And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

00:23:09.080 --> 00:23:10.640
 For the promise is for you.

00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:11.980
 And for your children.

00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:13.940
 And for all who are far off.

00:23:14.500 --> 00:23:17.539
 Everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.

00:23:18.660 --> 00:23:20.000
 And with many other words.

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:20.900
 He bore witness.

00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:23.079
 And continued to exhort them.

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:23.519
 Saying.

00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:27.019
 Save yourselves from this crooked generation.

00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:30.279
 So those who received his word.

00:23:30.819 --> 00:23:31.500
 Were baptized.

00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:34.019
 They were added that day.

00:23:34.619 --> 00:23:36.759
 About three thousand souls.

00:23:37.940 --> 00:23:38.579
 And so on.

00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:39.400
 And may God bless.

00:23:39.900 --> 00:23:41.680
 That reading from his word.

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:45.339
 We'll again sing to God's praise.

00:23:45.420 --> 00:23:47.240
 This time in Psalm 116.

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:48.700
 In the Scottish Psalter.

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:51.759
 Page 395 of the Psalm.

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:53.360
 Book Psalm 116.

00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:55.279
 At the beginning of the Psalm.

00:23:56.259 --> 00:23:58.340
 Singing down to verse 8.

00:23:58.339 --> 00:24:01.199
 I love the Lord.

00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:04.619
 Because my voice and prayers heeded here.

00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.000
 I while I live will call on him.

00:24:07.099 --> 00:24:08.799
 Who bowed to me his ear.

00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:11.779
 Of death the cords and sorrows did.

00:24:11.899 --> 00:24:13.379
 About me compass round.

00:24:14.139 --> 00:24:16.079
 Pains of hell took hold on me.

00:24:16.579 --> 00:24:18.139
 I grief and trouble found.

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:20.819
 Upon the name of God the Lord.

00:24:20.899 --> 00:24:22.439
 Then did I call and say.

00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:25.139
 Deliver thou my soul O Lord.

00:24:25.140 --> 00:24:27.500
 I do thee humbly pray.

00:24:27.600 --> 00:24:28.660
 We'll sing from verse 1.

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:30.000
 To verse 8.

00:24:30.120 --> 00:24:31.360
 And the tune is Cunningham.

00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:38.359
 I love the Lord.

00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:40.359
 I love the Lord.

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:51.879
 Because my voice and prayers he did here.

00:24:51.880 --> 00:25:09.060
 I beim on there.

00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:17.279
 Of death the courts and sorrows did,

00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:24.539
 How hard we come was run,

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:33.240
 The grace of hell to hold on me,

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:41.380
 I keep my trouble firm.

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:50.299
 Upon the name of God the Lord,

00:25:50.779 --> 00:25:57.240
 When did I call and say,

00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:06.680
 Give ever love my soul, O Lord,

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:13.240
 I do Thee humbly pray.

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:22.380
 God merciful and righteous,

00:26:22.380 --> 00:26:31.520
 O Lord, O Lord,

00:26:31.520 --> 00:26:36.700
 God saves the meek,

00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:40.860
 I was brought home,

00:26:41.280 --> 00:26:48.380
 He did me help, O Lord.

00:26:48.380 --> 00:26:57.520
 O Lord, my soul, do thou return,

00:26:57.520 --> 00:27:05.520
 And to thy quiet rest,

00:27:05.520 --> 00:27:14.520
 For largely know the Lord to Thee,

00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:21.660
 Its bounty hath expressed.

00:27:23.660 --> 00:27:33.660
 For my distress is so from death,

00:27:33.660 --> 00:27:40.660
 Delivered was by Thee,

00:27:40.660 --> 00:27:45.800
 Thou missed my warning,

00:27:45.800 --> 00:27:49.800
 I strong tears,

00:27:49.800 --> 00:27:56.800
 My feet of falling free.

00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:07.440
 Well, we can turn back for our time this evening

00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.579
 to the passage we read in Acts chapter 2.

00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:13.619
 Acts chapter 2.

00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:18.680
 And our main focus is going to be in verse 37

00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.399
 to the end of verse 41.

00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.600
 But as you see,

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:26.580
 this section is one long section

00:28:26.580 --> 00:28:27.460
 that we read together,

00:28:27.560 --> 00:28:28.660
 the sermon of Peter

00:28:28.660 --> 00:28:31.040
 on the time of Pentecost,

00:28:32.300 --> 00:28:33.440
 where there were people around

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:34.759
 who had seen the wonders

00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:36.660
 of the coming of the Holy Spirit,

00:28:37.800 --> 00:28:40.740
 the power seen in different ways

00:28:40.740 --> 00:28:41.440
 among the people,

00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:42.380
 and there were those around

00:28:42.380 --> 00:28:43.580
 who were accusing them

00:28:43.580 --> 00:28:45.080
 of being drunk

00:28:45.080 --> 00:28:46.259
 and of being out of their minds

00:28:46.259 --> 00:28:47.660
 and all kinds of accusations

00:28:47.660 --> 00:28:49.100
 being made against them.

00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:51.420
 It was a hostile crowd

00:28:51.420 --> 00:28:53.600
 that Peter was preaching to.

00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:55.680
 But what you see

00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:57.660
 as he preaches God's word,

00:28:58.340 --> 00:28:59.759
 as you see as he takes texts

00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:00.740
 from the Old Testament,

00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.320
 you have Joel in the book of Psalms

00:29:03.320 --> 00:29:05.060
 being quoted here, read here,

00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:07.140
 and he's preaching the word to them

00:29:07.140 --> 00:29:08.600
 and it has a powerful impact.

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:12.440
 And that's what we see in verse 37

00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:13.560
 where it says,

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:15.340
 Now when they heard this,

00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:17.600
 they were cut to the heart

00:29:17.600 --> 00:29:19.100
 and said to Peter

00:29:19.099 --> 00:29:20.500
 and to the rest of the apostles,

00:29:21.379 --> 00:29:21.759
 Brothers,

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.779
 what shall we do?

00:29:25.639 --> 00:29:26.779
 And as we come away

00:29:26.779 --> 00:29:28.679
 from a communion weekend,

00:29:29.639 --> 00:29:31.059
 as we come away from again

00:29:31.059 --> 00:29:32.980
 hearing God's word preached

00:29:32.980 --> 00:29:34.740
 whether it was last evening

00:29:34.740 --> 00:29:35.259
 or today,

00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:35.980
 during the day,

00:29:36.059 --> 00:29:37.219
 this morning or tonight,

00:29:37.939 --> 00:29:39.699
 as we come away from this weekend,

00:29:39.859 --> 00:29:41.240
 what kind of expectations

00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:43.740
 do we have coming away from it?

00:29:43.740 --> 00:29:45.799
 How are we coming away

00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:47.539
 from hearing the word of God

00:29:47.539 --> 00:29:49.220
 or seeing the sacrament

00:29:49.220 --> 00:29:50.200
 of the Lord's Supper,

00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:51.620
 either having taken it

00:29:51.620 --> 00:29:53.259
 or watched on?

00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:56.480
 What are our thoughts of God?

00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:58.839
 Are we as a people

00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:00.599
 hardening our hearts?

00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:02.359
 Are we just going to go on

00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:02.980
 into the week

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:03.720
 and carry on

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:04.960
 just like any other week,

00:30:05.460 --> 00:30:06.880
 forgetting what we've heard?

00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:09.700
 Or is it going to linger with us?

00:30:10.339 --> 00:30:11.599
 Is it going to pierce

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:13.359
 into our own hearts?

00:30:13.879 --> 00:30:15.000
 Is it going to make us

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:17.000
 ask questions of ourselves

00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:20.019
 and questions of God?

00:30:21.219 --> 00:30:22.619
 We are reminded constantly

00:30:22.619 --> 00:30:24.000
 through his word

00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:25.759
 that God is a God

00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:26.859
 who is sovereign,

00:30:27.980 --> 00:30:30.839
 a God who is reigning on high

00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.059
 as we were thinking of last night.

00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:35.619
 He is a God who is working.

00:30:36.779 --> 00:30:38.179
 He is a God whose spirit

00:30:38.179 --> 00:30:40.759
 moves among us at all times.

00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:42.920
 He is a God we've been encouraged

00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:44.619
 in seeing the work

00:30:44.619 --> 00:30:46.740
 he is doing in our own midst here

00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:47.900
 in calling a people

00:30:47.900 --> 00:30:50.400
 to himself to profess faith.

00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:52.379
 He is a God

00:30:52.379 --> 00:30:54.579
 who promises he will bless.

00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:56.680
 And as we look to him

00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:58.059
 and as we trust in him,

00:30:58.460 --> 00:31:00.440
 that he will bless his people.

00:31:01.099 --> 00:31:02.500
 There are so many promises

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:05.059
 that we can take from his word.

00:31:05.059 --> 00:31:08.579
 But we have to be faithful to him.

00:31:09.919 --> 00:31:11.899
 And here Peter is addressing a people

00:31:11.899 --> 00:31:13.299
 who in many ways

00:31:13.299 --> 00:31:15.039
 had been in a similar circumstance

00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:16.200
 to ourselves.

00:31:16.940 --> 00:31:19.599
 Gathered around and hearing God's word.

00:31:20.419 --> 00:31:22.679
 But what are they going to do with it?

00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:25.899
 The purpose Jesus had

00:31:25.899 --> 00:31:28.500
 for his church in the book of Acts,

00:31:28.579 --> 00:31:29.200
 as you see,

00:31:29.339 --> 00:31:32.179
 is that the good news of Jesus Christ

00:31:32.180 --> 00:31:33.400
 would be proclaimed.

00:31:34.320 --> 00:31:35.400
 It's wonderful to read

00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:36.360
 through the book of Acts

00:31:36.360 --> 00:31:38.299
 because you see the power

00:31:38.299 --> 00:31:39.360
 of God at work

00:31:39.360 --> 00:31:40.799
 in so many different ways.

00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:42.519
 And in some ways,

00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:44.480
 it can almost make you feel

00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:45.720
 a little discouraged,

00:31:45.940 --> 00:31:46.460
 if you like.

00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:47.720
 For example,

00:31:47.840 --> 00:31:48.320
 that verse,

00:31:48.420 --> 00:31:49.720
 the last verse we read,

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:50.880
 verse 41,

00:31:51.100 --> 00:31:52.380
 those who received his word

00:31:52.380 --> 00:31:52.940
 were baptized

00:31:52.940 --> 00:31:53.840
 and they were added

00:31:53.840 --> 00:31:56.180
 that day about 3,000 souls.

00:31:57.840 --> 00:31:58.580
 When you read that,

00:31:58.640 --> 00:31:59.440
 you perhaps wish,

00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:01.180
 if only we could see

00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:02.840
 these kinds of days just now.

00:32:02.900 --> 00:32:04.160
 If only here in our midst,

00:32:04.600 --> 00:32:04.920
 today,

00:32:05.080 --> 00:32:06.240
 3,000 were added

00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:08.259
 to the number being saved.

00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:09.940
 That doesn't mean

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:11.279
 we should be discouraged, though.

00:32:12.360 --> 00:32:13.720
 There is rejoicing in heaven

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:15.700
 over one sinner saved.

00:32:16.140 --> 00:32:16.840
 And so tonight,

00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:17.680
 we rejoice.

00:32:18.180 --> 00:32:19.460
 We rejoice that God

00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:20.360
 is still working,

00:32:20.500 --> 00:32:21.860
 that God is still active

00:32:21.860 --> 00:32:22.700
 in our midst.

00:32:23.320 --> 00:32:24.200
 And not just here,

00:32:24.299 --> 00:32:25.640
 but throughout our islands,

00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:26.580
 throughout our nation,

00:32:27.120 --> 00:32:27.940
 throughout the world.

00:32:27.940 --> 00:32:29.320
 God is still building

00:32:29.320 --> 00:32:30.580
 his church,

00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:32.080
 so we do not lose heart.

00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:33.880
 And when you think

00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:35.259
 of the apostles themselves,

00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:36.140
 Peter and others,

00:32:36.600 --> 00:32:38.160
 you don't have to look far back

00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:38.920
 to see a time

00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:40.059
 when they were discouraged,

00:32:41.180 --> 00:32:42.299
 a time when they thought

00:32:42.299 --> 00:32:43.460
 their hope was gone.

00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:45.680
 Having been with the Lord Jesus

00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:46.860
 for three years

00:32:46.860 --> 00:32:48.400
 during his public ministry,

00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:49.779
 they watched on

00:32:49.779 --> 00:32:51.360
 as he was crucified,

00:32:52.360 --> 00:32:53.519
 not understanding

00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:55.120
 what was happening,

00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:57.599
 thinking that this was

00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:58.539
 the end for them.

00:32:58.619 --> 00:32:59.739
 All their expectations

00:32:59.739 --> 00:33:00.639
 dashed,

00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:02.819
 thinking of all the great things

00:33:02.819 --> 00:33:03.779
 that he was going to do

00:33:03.779 --> 00:33:04.959
 for them and to them.

00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:06.699
 But here he was,

00:33:06.779 --> 00:33:07.839
 their Lord and Savior,

00:33:08.379 --> 00:33:08.819
 crucified,

00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:10.139
 put to death

00:33:10.139 --> 00:33:11.239
 at the hands

00:33:11.239 --> 00:33:12.279
 of lawless men.

00:33:13.859 --> 00:33:14.839
 But their hope

00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:16.299
 was once again realized

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:17.639
 when they met

00:33:17.639 --> 00:33:18.899
 with the risen Lord,

00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:20.279
 when they saw

00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:21.519
 that he is alive,

00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:23.559
 that the pain of,

00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:25.160
 the power of sin

00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:26.079
 could not contain,

00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:27.180
 the power of death

00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:28.519
 could not have a hold on him.

00:33:28.859 --> 00:33:29.559
 He is risen.

00:33:30.819 --> 00:33:31.599
 And so tonight,

00:33:31.700 --> 00:33:32.400
 as we go on,

00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:33.279
 as we go forward

00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:34.279
 from this communion,

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:35.720
 we remember too

00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:37.740
 that he is risen for us.

00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:39.319
 He is ascended

00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:40.839
 to the right hand of God,

00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:42.339
 that he is working

00:33:42.339 --> 00:33:43.599
 and sovereign.

00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:46.920
 So how will we come away

00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:48.379
 this evening

00:33:48.379 --> 00:33:50.920
 from this time of communion?

00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:54.180
 There was a great change

00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:55.420
 that took place

00:33:55.420 --> 00:33:56.240
 in the apostles,

00:33:56.379 --> 00:33:57.799
 even Peter himself.

00:33:58.460 --> 00:33:59.639
 You think how he had

00:33:59.639 --> 00:34:01.319
 disowned the Lord,

00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:02.400
 how he had turned away,

00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:04.119
 denied him three times.

00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:06.359
 And yet he was asked

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:07.259
 that question,

00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:08.280
 Peter,

00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:09.800
 do you love me?

00:34:11.739 --> 00:34:12.780
 You know, Lord,

00:34:12.860 --> 00:34:13.539
 that I love you,

00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:14.659
 was his response.

00:34:15.759 --> 00:34:17.639
 And is that our response today

00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:18.860
 as we were thinking

00:34:18.860 --> 00:34:19.780
 of this morning,

00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:21.360
 the love of Christ,

00:34:22.179 --> 00:34:23.639
 it asks the question of us,

00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:24.840
 do we love him?

00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:26.500
 Do we love him

00:34:26.500 --> 00:34:27.900
 as his people?

00:34:28.420 --> 00:34:29.360
 Do we love him

00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:30.719
 as those who are seeking,

00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:31.840
 even as those

00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:33.639
 who are maybe blind to him?

00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:35.380
 Do we begin to realize

00:34:35.380 --> 00:34:36.300
 the great love

00:34:36.300 --> 00:34:37.820
 that he has shown to us

00:34:37.820 --> 00:34:39.019
 as a people?

00:34:39.619 --> 00:34:40.960
 So it challenges us,

00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:42.579
 it rebukes us,

00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:43.619
 it encourages us,

00:34:43.659 --> 00:34:45.139
 it does all things for us

00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:46.860
 as we see God's word

00:34:46.860 --> 00:34:48.719
 encourage the disciples,

00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:50.039
 the apostles,

00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:51.779
 and all his people together.

00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:53.599
 As we see a word

00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:55.279
 that convicts people,

00:34:55.279 --> 00:34:56.399
 as we see a word

00:34:56.399 --> 00:34:58.339
 that is powerful and active,

00:34:58.599 --> 00:34:59.539
 it reminds us

00:34:59.539 --> 00:35:00.299
 that we continue

00:35:00.299 --> 00:35:01.099
 to proclaim

00:35:01.099 --> 00:35:02.480
 the good news

00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:03.699
 of Jesus Christ.

00:35:04.779 --> 00:35:06.459
 That is a powerful word

00:35:06.459 --> 00:35:07.279
 that is still

00:35:07.279 --> 00:35:09.039
 able to save.

00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:11.239
 So the focus this evening

00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:13.400
 as we see in verse 37

00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:14.960
 is how are we going

00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:16.820
 to respond to this word

00:35:16.820 --> 00:35:17.800
 coming away

00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:18.719
 from this weekend?

00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:20.759
 What kind of response

00:35:20.759 --> 00:35:21.779
 will we have

00:35:21.779 --> 00:35:23.099
 and what kind of expectations

00:35:23.099 --> 00:35:24.340
 will we have

00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:25.099
 of ourselves

00:35:25.099 --> 00:35:26.320
 and of our Lord

00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:27.759
 going forward?

00:35:28.820 --> 00:35:29.880
 Are our expectations

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:30.960
 of ourselves

00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:32.199
 too high?

00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:33.759
 Do we expect

00:35:33.759 --> 00:35:34.399
 of ourselves

00:35:34.399 --> 00:35:34.919
 to be able

00:35:34.919 --> 00:35:35.739
 to do everything

00:35:35.739 --> 00:35:36.839
 to obtain

00:35:36.839 --> 00:35:37.939
 our own salvation?

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:39.659
 Do we have to realize

00:35:39.659 --> 00:35:40.960
 that these expectations

00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:42.579
 will never be realized?

00:35:43.899 --> 00:35:44.980
 Are our expectations

00:35:44.980 --> 00:35:46.099
 of our Lord

00:35:46.099 --> 00:35:47.000
 too small?

00:35:48.179 --> 00:35:48.719
 Do we think

00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:49.559
 he's not able

00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:50.599
 to do

00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:51.619
 all that we see

00:35:51.619 --> 00:35:52.359
 him doing here

00:35:52.359 --> 00:35:52.939
 in the word

00:35:52.939 --> 00:35:53.799
 before us?

00:35:54.579 --> 00:35:55.619
 He is still able.

00:35:56.279 --> 00:35:57.039
 In that chapter

00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:58.119
 we read this morning

00:35:58.119 --> 00:35:59.519
 in Ephesians

00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:00.159
 it says

00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:01.199
 that we pray

00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:02.399
 and look to the one

00:36:02.399 --> 00:36:02.960
 who is able

00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:03.980
 to do abundantly

00:36:03.980 --> 00:36:05.759
 more than we ask

00:36:05.759 --> 00:36:06.679
 or imagine.

00:36:07.759 --> 00:36:08.919
 We are to fix

00:36:08.919 --> 00:36:09.559
 our eyes

00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:10.699
 on him.

00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:12.519
 So what's happening

00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:13.019
 here?

00:36:13.659 --> 00:36:14.960
 Well God is at work

00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:16.019
 through the preaching

00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:16.599
 of the word

00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:17.199
 and the power

00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:17.879
 of the spirit

00:36:17.879 --> 00:36:19.419
 and what we pray

00:36:19.419 --> 00:36:20.939
 for is that God

00:36:20.939 --> 00:36:21.539
 will continue

00:36:21.539 --> 00:36:22.239
 to work

00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:23.139
 in this way.

00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:24.079
 The people here

00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:25.399
 are convicted.

00:36:26.219 --> 00:36:26.799
 It says

00:36:26.799 --> 00:36:28.099
 there in verse 37

00:36:28.099 --> 00:36:29.219
 when they heard

00:36:29.219 --> 00:36:29.480
 this

00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:30.159
 were cut

00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:31.399
 to the heart

00:36:31.399 --> 00:36:32.480
 and that's

00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:33.139
 something you've

00:36:33.139 --> 00:36:34.079
 heard this weekend

00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:35.859
 cut to your heart.

00:36:36.420 --> 00:36:37.059
 Has God

00:36:37.059 --> 00:36:37.980
 been piercing

00:36:37.980 --> 00:36:38.460
 you

00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:39.719
 with his word

00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:40.559
 in this way?

00:36:41.359 --> 00:36:42.239
 Ministering to you

00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:43.059
 in a new way

00:36:43.059 --> 00:36:44.500
 and reminding you

00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:45.679
 that when you

00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:46.599
 have Christ

00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:47.879
 you have so much.

00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:49.980
 Don't lose

00:36:49.980 --> 00:36:50.659
 your focus

00:36:50.659 --> 00:36:51.299
 from him.

00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:52.399
 Don't lose

00:36:52.399 --> 00:36:53.000
 your sense

00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:53.940
 of expectation

00:36:53.940 --> 00:36:54.399
 in him.

00:36:54.659 --> 00:36:55.359
 Don't lose

00:36:55.359 --> 00:36:56.339
 your urgency

00:36:56.340 --> 00:36:57.160
 for him

00:36:57.160 --> 00:36:58.920
 or if you

00:36:58.920 --> 00:36:59.559
 are seeking

00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:00.180
 him or even

00:37:00.180 --> 00:37:01.059
 blind to him

00:37:01.059 --> 00:37:01.980
 is he cutting

00:37:01.980 --> 00:37:02.640
 you in the heart

00:37:02.640 --> 00:37:03.260
 and reminding

00:37:03.260 --> 00:37:04.340
 you you are

00:37:04.340 --> 00:37:05.800
 lost without him.

00:37:06.460 --> 00:37:07.260
 This word

00:37:07.260 --> 00:37:08.100
 is a powerful

00:37:08.100 --> 00:37:08.579
 word.

00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:09.700
 When it says

00:37:09.700 --> 00:37:10.380
 there that they

00:37:10.380 --> 00:37:10.840
 were cut

00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:11.440
 to the heart

00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:12.240
 pricked to the

00:37:12.240 --> 00:37:12.539
 heart

00:37:12.539 --> 00:37:13.620
 it means that

00:37:13.620 --> 00:37:13.880
 they were

00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:14.700
 pierced

00:37:14.700 --> 00:37:15.940
 or stabbed.

00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:17.539
 There's a sense

00:37:17.539 --> 00:37:18.320
 of pain

00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:19.500
 in this word.

00:37:19.600 --> 00:37:20.100
 It causes

00:37:20.100 --> 00:37:21.000
 discomfort

00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:22.780
 and as we

00:37:22.780 --> 00:37:23.659
 hear God's

00:37:23.659 --> 00:37:23.900
 word

00:37:23.900 --> 00:37:24.199
 if we are

00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:24.940
 not believing

00:37:24.940 --> 00:37:25.880
 it in its

00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:26.360
 fullness

00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:27.519
 then it

00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:28.199
 causes us

00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:28.539
 pain.

00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:28.860
 It should

00:37:28.860 --> 00:37:29.480
 prick us

00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:30.340
 to our

00:37:30.340 --> 00:37:30.840
 heart.

00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:32.340
 And so

00:37:32.340 --> 00:37:32.880
 God is

00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:33.860
 still speaking

00:37:33.860 --> 00:37:35.219
 and as he

00:37:35.219 --> 00:37:35.699
 speaks

00:37:35.699 --> 00:37:36.539
 it calls

00:37:36.539 --> 00:37:37.360
 for a

00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:38.079
 response.

00:37:38.619 --> 00:37:39.320
 A response

00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:40.179
 from every

00:37:40.179 --> 00:37:41.000
 one of us.

00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:42.079
 Will we go

00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:42.679
 forward

00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:43.840
 in faith?

00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:44.800
 Will we put

00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:45.719
 our trust

00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:46.639
 in him?

00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:47.820
 And the

00:37:47.820 --> 00:37:48.340
 response

00:37:48.340 --> 00:37:48.960
 that we see

00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:49.420
 here

00:37:49.420 --> 00:37:50.619
 we see

00:37:50.619 --> 00:37:50.900
 it in

00:37:50.900 --> 00:37:51.280
 three

00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:52.200
 different

00:37:52.200 --> 00:37:52.579
 ways.

00:37:52.700 --> 00:37:53.099
 First of

00:37:53.099 --> 00:37:54.079
 all we

00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:55.039
 see the

00:37:55.039 --> 00:37:55.780
 inquiry

00:37:55.780 --> 00:37:57.119
 the

00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:57.780
 inquiring

00:37:57.780 --> 00:37:58.280
 nature

00:37:58.280 --> 00:37:59.180
 of the

00:37:59.180 --> 00:37:59.700
 people.

00:38:00.340 --> 00:38:00.800
 A people

00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:01.200
 who had

00:38:01.200 --> 00:38:02.260
 just before

00:38:02.260 --> 00:38:03.139
 this sermon

00:38:03.139 --> 00:38:03.579
 had been

00:38:03.579 --> 00:38:04.579
 mocking and

00:38:04.579 --> 00:38:05.440
 joking about

00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:06.980
 God's people

00:38:06.980 --> 00:38:07.340
 who had the

00:38:07.340 --> 00:38:08.240
 spirit poured

00:38:08.240 --> 00:38:08.659
 out upon

00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:09.200
 them claiming

00:38:09.200 --> 00:38:09.539
 that they

00:38:09.539 --> 00:38:10.260
 were drunk

00:38:10.260 --> 00:38:11.079
 claiming

00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:11.519
 them that

00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:11.780
 they were

00:38:11.780 --> 00:38:12.500
 crazy out

00:38:12.500 --> 00:38:12.800
 of their

00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:13.500
 minds.

00:38:14.720 --> 00:38:15.119
 Well Peter

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:15.900
 says at the

00:38:15.900 --> 00:38:17.480
 start of

00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:18.639
 this section

00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:19.019
 we read

00:38:19.019 --> 00:38:19.360
 in verse

00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:19.739
 14

00:38:19.739 --> 00:38:20.179
 men of

00:38:20.179 --> 00:38:20.559
 Judea

00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:20.980
 and all

00:38:20.980 --> 00:38:21.340
 who dwell

00:38:21.340 --> 00:38:21.840
 in Jerusalem

00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:22.759
 let this

00:38:22.759 --> 00:38:23.179
 be known

00:38:23.179 --> 00:38:23.519
 to you

00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:23.800
 and give

00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:24.460
 ear to

00:38:24.460 --> 00:38:25.199
 my words

00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:26.360
 these men

00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:26.759
 are not

00:38:26.759 --> 00:38:27.300
 drunk as

00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:28.099
 you suppose.

00:38:29.179 --> 00:38:29.860
 He's giving

00:38:29.860 --> 00:38:30.179
 them a

00:38:30.179 --> 00:38:30.579
 warning.

00:38:31.940 --> 00:38:32.320
 He's saying

00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:32.960
 don't mock

00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:33.880
 them but

00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:34.940
 hear what

00:38:34.940 --> 00:38:35.460
 I have to

00:38:35.460 --> 00:38:35.800
 say.

00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:37.099
 And that's

00:38:37.099 --> 00:38:37.420
 what we are

00:38:37.420 --> 00:38:37.960
 to do as

00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:38.380
 we listen

00:38:38.380 --> 00:38:38.980
 to God's

00:38:38.980 --> 00:38:39.179
 word.

00:38:39.259 --> 00:38:39.559
 We are to

00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:40.639
 hear what

00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:40.980
 he is

00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:41.559
 saying to

00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:42.000
 us.

00:38:42.500 --> 00:38:42.920
 And Peter

00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:43.940
 here preached

00:38:43.940 --> 00:38:45.259
 a powerful

00:38:45.259 --> 00:38:46.099
 sermon.

00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:47.480
 A powerful

00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:48.000
 sermon

00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:48.800
 calling on

00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:49.760
 people to

00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:50.239
 come and

00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:50.860
 see their

00:38:50.860 --> 00:38:51.239
 need of

00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:51.739
 Christ.

00:38:52.300 --> 00:38:52.539
 And to

00:38:52.539 --> 00:38:53.019
 come and

00:38:53.019 --> 00:38:53.920
 see that

00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:54.420
 he is the

00:38:54.420 --> 00:38:55.179
 only way

00:38:55.179 --> 00:38:56.380
 to salvation.

00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:57.800
 And the

00:38:57.800 --> 00:38:58.400
 gospel it

00:38:58.400 --> 00:38:59.380
 always leads

00:38:59.380 --> 00:39:00.659
 to questions.

00:39:01.460 --> 00:39:02.059
 It always

00:39:02.059 --> 00:39:02.840
 leads to us

00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:03.820
 asking questions.

00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:05.079
 Sometimes it's

00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:06.039
 asking questions

00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:07.340
 of us and

00:39:07.340 --> 00:39:08.340
 sometimes we're

00:39:08.340 --> 00:39:09.500
 asking questions

00:39:09.500 --> 00:39:10.539
 of the gospel.

00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:13.320
 And perhaps

00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:14.280
 that's the stage

00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:14.980
 we're in in our

00:39:14.980 --> 00:39:15.940
 lives just now.

00:39:15.940 --> 00:39:17.619
 we're asking

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:18.200
 these kinds

00:39:18.200 --> 00:39:18.940
 of questions

00:39:18.940 --> 00:39:19.840
 of the

00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:20.240
 gospel.

00:39:20.780 --> 00:39:21.200
 Is it

00:39:21.200 --> 00:39:21.700
 true?

00:39:22.740 --> 00:39:23.420
 Is this

00:39:23.420 --> 00:39:23.920
 really

00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:24.579
 true?

00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:26.159
 This word

00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:27.000
 that I've

00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:27.679
 heard so

00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:28.200
 often, this

00:39:28.200 --> 00:39:28.740
 word that

00:39:28.740 --> 00:39:29.000
 has been

00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:29.599
 around for

00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:30.360
 so long,

00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:31.099
 is it

00:39:31.099 --> 00:39:31.400
 really

00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:31.840
 true?

00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:33.780
 The world

00:39:33.780 --> 00:39:34.420
 tells me

00:39:34.420 --> 00:39:35.000
 it's not.

00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:36.059
 The world

00:39:36.059 --> 00:39:36.720
 tells me we

00:39:36.720 --> 00:39:37.200
 don't need

00:39:37.200 --> 00:39:37.940
 this anymore

00:39:37.940 --> 00:39:39.079
 so can I

00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:39.599
 just leave

00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:40.300
 it aside or

00:39:40.300 --> 00:39:40.579
 is there

00:39:40.579 --> 00:39:41.360
 some truth

00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:42.019
 in here

00:39:42.019 --> 00:39:43.000
 that I need

00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:43.539
 to hear?

00:39:43.539 --> 00:39:45.000
 There is

00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:45.759
 truth here

00:39:45.759 --> 00:39:46.239
 for us

00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:47.279
 all to

00:39:47.279 --> 00:39:47.759
 hear.

00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:48.940
 Do I

00:39:48.940 --> 00:39:49.460
 need it?

00:39:50.259 --> 00:39:50.719
 Maybe you're

00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:51.279
 saying that

00:39:51.279 --> 00:39:51.759
 to yourself.

00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:52.599
 Yes.

00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:54.199
 We all

00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:54.940
 need this

00:39:54.940 --> 00:39:55.300
 word.

00:39:55.420 --> 00:39:56.279
 Every one

00:39:56.279 --> 00:39:56.739
 of us.

00:39:57.380 --> 00:39:57.840
 We need

00:39:57.840 --> 00:39:58.380
 to hear

00:39:58.380 --> 00:39:59.019
 this word

00:39:59.019 --> 00:39:59.300
 and we

00:39:59.300 --> 00:39:59.639
 need to

00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:00.000
 heed

00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:00.739
 this

00:40:00.739 --> 00:40:01.239
 word.

00:40:02.759 --> 00:40:03.480
 Do I

00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:04.279
 believe it?

00:40:04.759 --> 00:40:05.159
 It's the

00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:05.779
 question that

00:40:05.779 --> 00:40:06.139
 it leads

00:40:06.139 --> 00:40:06.880
 to as well.

00:40:06.980 --> 00:40:07.219
 Do I

00:40:07.219 --> 00:40:07.860
 believe

00:40:07.860 --> 00:40:08.779
 what this

00:40:08.779 --> 00:40:09.360
 word is

00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:09.699
 saying?

00:40:10.779 --> 00:40:11.159
 Tonight

00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:11.800
 do you

00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:12.960
 believe what

00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:13.440
 you read

00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:13.800
 in the

00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:14.280
 word of

00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:14.579
 God?

00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:14.820
 Do you

00:40:14.820 --> 00:40:16.019
 believe in

00:40:16.019 --> 00:40:16.539
 the Son

00:40:16.539 --> 00:40:17.039
 of God

00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:17.480
 the Lord

00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:17.880
 Jesus

00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:18.539
 Christ?

00:40:19.260 --> 00:40:19.800
 The fact

00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:20.019
 that he

00:40:20.019 --> 00:40:20.519
 came into

00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:21.079
 this world

00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:21.380
 that he

00:40:21.380 --> 00:40:21.920
 died on

00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:22.519
 the cross

00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:23.199
 that he

00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:23.820
 rose again

00:40:23.820 --> 00:40:24.099
 that he

00:40:24.099 --> 00:40:24.659
 is coming

00:40:24.659 --> 00:40:25.059
 again.

00:40:25.260 --> 00:40:25.519
 Do you

00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:26.820
 believe these

00:40:26.820 --> 00:40:27.900
 things in

00:40:27.900 --> 00:40:28.579
 your heart?

00:40:29.860 --> 00:40:30.480
 This word

00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:31.059
 leads to

00:40:31.059 --> 00:40:31.780
 inquiry.

00:40:32.460 --> 00:40:32.840
 It leads

00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:34.300
 to questions.

00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:36.460
 But what we

00:40:36.460 --> 00:40:37.199
 see here is

00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:37.780
 initially the

00:40:37.780 --> 00:40:38.840
 people had

00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:39.679
 no interest.

00:40:41.380 --> 00:40:41.900
 They had no

00:40:41.900 --> 00:40:42.699
 interest until

00:40:42.699 --> 00:40:43.299
 this word

00:40:43.299 --> 00:40:44.199
 was preached

00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:44.819
 to them.

00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:45.899
 A people

00:40:45.899 --> 00:40:46.159
 who had

00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:47.759
 gathered to

00:40:47.759 --> 00:40:48.719
 remember the

00:40:48.719 --> 00:40:49.379
 Passover.

00:40:50.839 --> 00:40:51.299
 What

00:40:51.299 --> 00:40:52.719
 foreshadowed the

00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:53.480
 Lord's Supper.

00:40:53.579 --> 00:40:54.119
 They had come

00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:54.919
 to remember.

00:40:56.439 --> 00:40:57.059
 But what's

00:40:57.059 --> 00:40:57.899
 amazing about

00:40:57.899 --> 00:40:58.460
 it is they

00:40:58.460 --> 00:40:59.000
 missed the

00:40:59.000 --> 00:40:59.899
 whole point.

00:41:01.399 --> 00:41:02.279
 This Christ

00:41:02.279 --> 00:41:02.719
 who had

00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:03.439
 represented,

00:41:04.059 --> 00:41:04.339
 who they

00:41:04.339 --> 00:41:05.000
 had seen,

00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:05.359
 who they

00:41:05.359 --> 00:41:06.079
 had crucified,

00:41:06.299 --> 00:41:06.619
 he meant

00:41:06.619 --> 00:41:07.299
 nothing to

00:41:07.299 --> 00:41:07.500
 them.

00:41:08.059 --> 00:41:08.379
 They were

00:41:08.379 --> 00:41:09.199
 oblivious to

00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:09.859
 the fact that

00:41:09.859 --> 00:41:10.559
 he was before

00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:11.960
 them, that

00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:12.259
 they had

00:41:12.259 --> 00:41:13.219
 crucified him.

00:41:15.179 --> 00:41:15.960
 And that's

00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:17.299
 the way God's

00:41:17.299 --> 00:41:17.860
 word can

00:41:17.860 --> 00:41:18.579
 sometimes be

00:41:18.579 --> 00:41:19.179
 for us.

00:41:20.139 --> 00:41:21.039
 I pray not,

00:41:21.500 --> 00:41:22.320
 but today did

00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:23.019
 you come and

00:41:23.019 --> 00:41:23.860
 go from here

00:41:23.860 --> 00:41:24.719
 without thinking,

00:41:25.259 --> 00:41:25.779
 what does the

00:41:25.779 --> 00:41:26.860
 bread and the

00:41:26.860 --> 00:41:27.940
 wine mean?

00:41:28.779 --> 00:41:29.500
 Has it just

00:41:29.500 --> 00:41:31.179
 become a ritual

00:41:31.179 --> 00:41:31.719
 that we go

00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:32.099
 through?

00:41:32.900 --> 00:41:33.639
 Has it become

00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:34.199
 something that we

00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:35.059
 don't really think

00:41:35.059 --> 00:41:35.340
 about?

00:41:35.699 --> 00:41:36.179
 What are we

00:41:36.179 --> 00:41:37.059
 actually doing?

00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:37.920
 What are we

00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:38.539
 remembering

00:41:38.539 --> 00:41:39.079
 here?

00:41:40.460 --> 00:41:41.079
 I pray that

00:41:41.079 --> 00:41:41.880
 today, as we

00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:42.420
 are reminded

00:41:42.420 --> 00:41:43.179
 once again,

00:41:43.759 --> 00:41:44.019
 that it would

00:41:44.019 --> 00:41:44.940
 be real to

00:41:44.940 --> 00:41:45.360
 us.

00:41:46.179 --> 00:41:46.699
 That what we

00:41:46.699 --> 00:41:47.079
 would have been

00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:47.820
 thinking wouldn't

00:41:47.820 --> 00:41:48.279
 have been the

00:41:48.279 --> 00:41:48.960
 kind of things

00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:49.400
 that they would

00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:49.639
 have been

00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:50.299
 thinking as they

00:41:50.299 --> 00:41:50.920
 remembered the

00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:51.400
 Passover.

00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:52.420
 Probably just

00:41:52.420 --> 00:41:53.299
 looking ahead to

00:41:53.299 --> 00:41:53.820
 the week that

00:41:53.820 --> 00:41:54.739
 lay before them.

00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:55.980
 Looking ahead to

00:41:55.980 --> 00:41:56.659
 going back to

00:41:56.659 --> 00:41:57.559
 their own homes,

00:41:57.920 --> 00:41:58.420
 going back to

00:41:58.420 --> 00:41:58.880
 their work,

00:41:58.980 --> 00:41:59.460
 going back to

00:41:59.460 --> 00:42:00.159
 their families,

00:42:00.820 --> 00:42:01.619
 carrying on with

00:42:01.619 --> 00:42:02.759
 life, making

00:42:02.759 --> 00:42:03.920
 no impression on

00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:04.159
 them.

00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:06.619
 Is that how

00:42:06.619 --> 00:42:07.059
 we are going

00:42:07.059 --> 00:42:07.619
 to go away

00:42:07.619 --> 00:42:08.159
 from here

00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:08.619
 today?

00:42:09.179 --> 00:42:09.839
 Once again,

00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:10.579
 having seen

00:42:10.579 --> 00:42:11.460
 or taken part

00:42:11.460 --> 00:42:12.420
 in the Lord's

00:42:12.420 --> 00:42:12.819
 suburb, but

00:42:12.819 --> 00:42:13.699
 not realizing

00:42:13.699 --> 00:42:14.440
 or not letting

00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:15.239
 it sink in

00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:16.519
 to us, what

00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:17.119
 we've done,

00:42:17.219 --> 00:42:17.519
 what we've

00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:18.119
 experienced,

00:42:18.420 --> 00:42:18.799
 what we've

00:42:18.799 --> 00:42:19.819
 seen, what

00:42:19.819 --> 00:42:20.359
 God has

00:42:20.359 --> 00:42:20.719
 said.

00:42:23.699 --> 00:42:24.379
 It should

00:42:24.379 --> 00:42:25.299
 lead to us

00:42:25.299 --> 00:42:26.259
 to ask

00:42:26.259 --> 00:42:26.899
 questions.

00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:27.420
 Instead of

00:42:27.420 --> 00:42:28.139
 meaning nothing,

00:42:28.539 --> 00:42:28.960
 it should

00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:29.799
 mean everything.

00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:32.820
 we came to

00:42:32.820 --> 00:42:34.100
 remember the

00:42:34.100 --> 00:42:34.980
 Lord's death

00:42:34.980 --> 00:42:35.940
 until he

00:42:35.940 --> 00:42:36.519
 comes.

00:42:38.560 --> 00:42:38.880
 And the

00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:39.860
 inquiries that

00:42:39.860 --> 00:42:40.400
 that leads

00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:41.300
 to, it

00:42:41.300 --> 00:42:42.220
 leads to us

00:42:42.220 --> 00:42:43.860
 asking questions.

00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:45.120
 When we are

00:42:45.120 --> 00:42:46.400
 dead in our

00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:47.500
 trespasses and

00:42:47.500 --> 00:42:48.220
 sins, as the

00:42:48.220 --> 00:42:48.960
 word says, when

00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:49.700
 we know that we

00:42:49.700 --> 00:42:51.019
 are lost in

00:42:51.019 --> 00:42:51.840
 this world, we

00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:52.500
 have all these

00:42:52.500 --> 00:42:54.100
 questions, where

00:42:54.100 --> 00:42:55.060
 can we turn?

00:42:56.220 --> 00:42:56.620
 Well, the

00:42:56.620 --> 00:42:57.519
 people here, as

00:42:57.519 --> 00:42:58.740
 they heard this

00:42:58.740 --> 00:42:59.400
 word, as they

00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:00.019
 were cut to

00:43:00.019 --> 00:43:00.619
 the heart, they

00:43:00.619 --> 00:43:01.440
 said to Peter

00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:02.599
 and the rest of

00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:03.160
 the apostles,

00:43:03.460 --> 00:43:05.059
 brothers, what

00:43:05.059 --> 00:43:05.980
 shall we do?

00:43:07.340 --> 00:43:08.099
 And is that the

00:43:08.099 --> 00:43:09.639
 question on your

00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:10.599
 heart tonight?

00:43:11.680 --> 00:43:12.820
 What shall I

00:43:12.820 --> 00:43:13.160
 do?

00:43:14.940 --> 00:43:15.760
 There are so

00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:16.660
 many questions

00:43:16.660 --> 00:43:18.079
 in the Bible,

00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:19.980
 but some of the

00:43:19.980 --> 00:43:20.800
 most powerful

00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:22.440
 questions are

00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:23.700
 the personal

00:43:23.700 --> 00:43:25.380
 questions that

00:43:25.380 --> 00:43:25.860
 we have to

00:43:25.860 --> 00:43:26.980
 reply to the

00:43:26.980 --> 00:43:27.660
 Lord Jesus

00:43:27.660 --> 00:43:28.900
 himself.

00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:30.900
 there's two I

00:43:30.900 --> 00:43:31.280
 want to

00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:31.800
 highlight.

00:43:32.619 --> 00:43:33.559
 One is before

00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:34.300
 us here, the

00:43:34.300 --> 00:43:34.880
 other is in

00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:35.559
 Mark chapter

00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:36.700
 8 and

00:43:36.700 --> 00:43:37.660
 verse 29.

00:43:38.740 --> 00:43:39.340
 The question

00:43:39.340 --> 00:43:39.880
 that Jesus

00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:41.220
 asks of the

00:43:41.220 --> 00:43:42.260
 disciples there,

00:43:42.340 --> 00:43:42.980
 he's saying in

00:43:42.980 --> 00:43:43.980
 Mark, he's

00:43:43.980 --> 00:43:44.539
 speaking to them

00:43:44.539 --> 00:43:44.940
 about what

00:43:44.940 --> 00:43:45.539
 people are

00:43:45.539 --> 00:43:46.220
 saying about

00:43:46.220 --> 00:43:47.180
 who he is.

00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:48.820
 Some are

00:43:48.820 --> 00:43:49.400
 saying you're a

00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:50.180
 prophet, some

00:43:50.180 --> 00:43:50.780
 are saying you're

00:43:50.780 --> 00:43:51.180
 Elijah.

00:43:51.700 --> 00:43:52.059
 There are all

00:43:52.059 --> 00:43:52.460
 kinds of

00:43:52.460 --> 00:43:53.740
 opinion on who

00:43:53.740 --> 00:43:54.740
 Jesus is, just

00:43:54.740 --> 00:43:55.440
 the same as the

00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:56.360
 world we live in

00:43:56.360 --> 00:43:56.700
 today.

00:43:57.019 --> 00:43:57.880
 All kinds of

00:43:57.880 --> 00:43:58.720
 opinion about

00:43:58.719 --> 00:43:59.319
 Jesus.

00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:02.139
 But Jesus, he

00:44:02.139 --> 00:44:03.699
 boils it down to

00:44:03.699 --> 00:44:04.659
 one question.

00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:06.659
 And he says to

00:44:06.659 --> 00:44:07.500
 them as he says

00:44:07.500 --> 00:44:09.039
 to us, but

00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:10.179
 what about you?

00:44:11.439 --> 00:44:14.099
 He says, who

00:44:14.099 --> 00:44:16.000
 do you say

00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:16.799
 that I am?

00:44:18.099 --> 00:44:18.799
 And that's the

00:44:18.799 --> 00:44:20.059
 question we're

00:44:20.059 --> 00:44:20.799
 asked tonight.

00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:22.879
 Who do you

00:44:22.879 --> 00:44:24.119
 say that

00:44:24.119 --> 00:44:24.939
 Jesus is?

00:44:24.940 --> 00:44:27.240
 And the

00:44:27.240 --> 00:44:27.800
 question that

00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:29.119
 Peter has for

00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:29.840
 them here as

00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:30.720
 well, that they

00:44:30.720 --> 00:44:31.500
 have of Peter

00:44:31.500 --> 00:44:32.639
 is, what

00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:33.940
 shall we

00:44:33.940 --> 00:44:34.320
 do?

00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:36.240
 When Jesus

00:44:36.240 --> 00:44:36.920
 asks that

00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:37.639
 question, who

00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:38.380
 do you say

00:44:38.380 --> 00:44:39.260
 that I am?

00:44:39.420 --> 00:44:40.559
 Surely our

00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:42.220
 response is what

00:44:42.220 --> 00:44:43.300
 should be the

00:44:43.300 --> 00:44:44.119
 same as Peter

00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:44.720
 who answered

00:44:44.720 --> 00:44:45.000
 him, who

00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:45.599
 said, you

00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:46.619
 are the

00:44:46.619 --> 00:44:48.440
 Christ, the

00:44:48.440 --> 00:44:49.280
 Messiah, the

00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:50.300
 chosen one.

00:44:50.300 --> 00:44:51.300
 God

00:44:51.300 --> 00:44:52.300
 has for

00:44:52.300 --> 00:44:53.300
 him.

00:44:53.300 --> 00:44:54.340
 And when we

00:44:54.340 --> 00:44:54.760
 begin to realize who

00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:55.340
 he is and what

00:44:55.340 --> 00:44:56.400
 he's done, it

00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:57.120
 leads to this

00:44:57.120 --> 00:44:57.960
 second question

00:44:57.960 --> 00:44:58.539
 that we have

00:44:58.539 --> 00:44:59.260
 here in verse

00:44:59.260 --> 00:44:59.960
 37.

00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:01.380
 As they ask of

00:45:01.380 --> 00:45:02.460
 him, brothers,

00:45:02.900 --> 00:45:04.400
 what shall we

00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:04.840
 do?

00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:06.580
 The same

00:45:06.580 --> 00:45:07.320
 question that

00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:08.039
 later on in the

00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:08.860
 book of Acts in

00:45:08.860 --> 00:45:10.580
 chapter 16, the

00:45:10.580 --> 00:45:11.640
 Philippian jailer

00:45:11.640 --> 00:45:12.000
 has.

00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:13.860
 What must I do

00:45:13.860 --> 00:45:14.940
 to be saved?

00:45:14.940 --> 00:45:16.920
 That should be

00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:17.440
 the burning

00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:18.519
 question in our

00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:19.260
 hearts tonight.

00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:21.760
 What must I

00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:23.099
 do to be

00:45:23.099 --> 00:45:23.639
 saved?

00:45:24.380 --> 00:45:25.220
 Because it

00:45:25.220 --> 00:45:25.900
 comes from

00:45:25.900 --> 00:45:26.980
 understanding of

00:45:26.980 --> 00:45:28.179
 who Jesus

00:45:28.179 --> 00:45:28.880
 is.

00:45:30.099 --> 00:45:30.639
 And that's

00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:31.460
 what Peter has

00:45:31.460 --> 00:45:32.200
 done for them

00:45:32.200 --> 00:45:32.639
 here.

00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:33.800
 He has laid

00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:34.659
 the word of

00:45:34.659 --> 00:45:35.440
 God bare

00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:36.260
 before them.

00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:38.139
 This Jesus,

00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:39.440
 you crucified,

00:45:40.260 --> 00:45:41.059
 you put him

00:45:41.059 --> 00:45:41.760
 to death.

00:45:42.940 --> 00:45:43.720
 You did all

00:45:43.720 --> 00:45:44.280
 of this.

00:45:44.940 --> 00:45:46.139
 Your sins

00:45:46.139 --> 00:45:47.260
 nailed him

00:45:47.260 --> 00:45:47.639
 to the

00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:48.059
 tree.

00:45:49.740 --> 00:45:50.880
 But God

00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:52.159
 has raised

00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:53.300
 him from

00:45:53.300 --> 00:45:53.820
 the dead.

00:45:54.179 --> 00:45:54.440
 Look at

00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:55.260
 verse 22.

00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:55.820
 He says

00:45:55.820 --> 00:45:56.139
 there,

00:45:56.579 --> 00:45:56.920
 Men of

00:45:56.920 --> 00:45:57.260
 Israel,

00:45:57.480 --> 00:45:58.159
 hear these

00:45:58.159 --> 00:45:58.519
 words.

00:45:58.679 --> 00:45:59.240
 Jesus of

00:45:59.240 --> 00:45:59.800
 Nazareth,

00:46:00.220 --> 00:46:00.639
 a man

00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:01.179
 attested

00:46:01.179 --> 00:46:01.780
 to you by

00:46:01.780 --> 00:46:02.320
 God with

00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:03.179
 mighty works

00:46:03.179 --> 00:46:03.820
 and wonders

00:46:03.820 --> 00:46:04.840
 and signs

00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:05.380
 that God

00:46:05.380 --> 00:46:05.900
 did through

00:46:05.900 --> 00:46:06.200
 him in

00:46:06.200 --> 00:46:06.619
 your midst.

00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:07.460
 As you

00:46:07.460 --> 00:46:07.980
 yourselves

00:46:07.980 --> 00:46:08.260
 know,

00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:09.280
 this Jesus

00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:10.639
 delivered up

00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:11.280
 according to

00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:11.860
 the definite

00:46:11.860 --> 00:46:12.700
 plan and

00:46:12.700 --> 00:46:13.360
 foreknowledge

00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:13.880
 of God,

00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:15.400
 you crucified

00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:16.380
 and killed

00:46:16.380 --> 00:46:17.500
 by the hands

00:46:17.500 --> 00:46:18.160
 of lawless

00:46:18.160 --> 00:46:18.460
 men.

00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:20.320
 But God

00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:21.220
 raised him

00:46:21.220 --> 00:46:21.480
 up.

00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:23.599
 You

00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:24.300
 crucified,

00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:25.099
 he says.

00:46:26.700 --> 00:46:27.500
 And this

00:46:27.500 --> 00:46:28.059
 is what leads

00:46:28.059 --> 00:46:29.059
 them to ask,

00:46:29.780 --> 00:46:30.140
 brothers,

00:46:30.860 --> 00:46:31.660
 what shall

00:46:31.660 --> 00:46:32.200
 we do?

00:46:33.519 --> 00:46:34.420
 In all

00:46:34.420 --> 00:46:35.119
 that we hear

00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:35.500
 from the

00:46:35.500 --> 00:46:36.079
 word of

00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:36.480
 God,

00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:37.500
 is that the

00:46:37.500 --> 00:46:38.420
 burning question

00:46:38.420 --> 00:46:39.220
 in your heart

00:46:39.220 --> 00:46:39.640
 tonight?

00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:41.119
 What shall

00:46:41.119 --> 00:46:41.719
 we do?

00:46:42.819 --> 00:46:43.159
 Well,

00:46:43.219 --> 00:46:44.039
 from inquiry

00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:44.579
 we see

00:46:44.579 --> 00:46:45.000
 here,

00:46:45.359 --> 00:46:45.859
 it leads

00:46:45.859 --> 00:46:46.219
 to the

00:46:46.219 --> 00:46:47.179
 exhortation

00:46:47.179 --> 00:46:48.339
 of Peter.

00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:50.400
 In verse

00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:51.099
 38,

00:46:51.299 --> 00:46:52.059
 Peter said

00:46:52.059 --> 00:46:52.559
 to them,

00:46:53.420 --> 00:46:53.940
 repent

00:46:53.940 --> 00:46:55.159
 and be

00:46:55.159 --> 00:46:55.679
 baptized

00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:56.819
 every one

00:46:56.819 --> 00:46:57.079
 of you

00:46:57.079 --> 00:46:57.299
 in the

00:46:57.299 --> 00:46:57.960
 name of

00:46:57.960 --> 00:46:58.339
 Jesus

00:46:58.339 --> 00:46:58.920
 Christ

00:46:58.920 --> 00:46:59.639
 for the

00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:00.059
 forgiveness

00:47:00.059 --> 00:47:00.699
 of your

00:47:00.699 --> 00:47:01.299
 sins and

00:47:01.299 --> 00:47:01.559
 you will

00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:02.339
 receive the

00:47:02.339 --> 00:47:03.400
 gift of

00:47:03.400 --> 00:47:03.940
 the Holy

00:47:03.940 --> 00:47:04.519
 Spirit for

00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:05.139
 the promises

00:47:05.139 --> 00:47:05.839
 for you

00:47:05.839 --> 00:47:06.519
 and for

00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:07.059
 your children

00:47:07.059 --> 00:47:07.480
 and for

00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:08.139
 all who

00:47:08.139 --> 00:47:08.639
 are far

00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:08.839
 off.

00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:09.780
 everyone

00:47:09.780 --> 00:47:10.400
 whom the

00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:10.840
 Lord,

00:47:10.980 --> 00:47:11.960
 our God

00:47:11.960 --> 00:47:13.400
 calls to

00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:14.000
 himself.

00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:17.760
 This is

00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:18.500
 Peter's

00:47:18.500 --> 00:47:19.579
 response to

00:47:19.579 --> 00:47:19.780
 them,

00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:21.480
 exhortation,

00:47:22.220 --> 00:47:23.039
 what they

00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:23.720
 must do,

00:47:23.820 --> 00:47:24.500
 what we

00:47:24.500 --> 00:47:25.280
 must do.

00:47:26.900 --> 00:47:27.220
 As we

00:47:27.220 --> 00:47:27.880
 come away

00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:28.780
 from this

00:47:28.780 --> 00:47:29.320
 weekend,

00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:30.460
 this is a

00:47:30.460 --> 00:47:31.260
 reminder to

00:47:31.260 --> 00:47:32.440
 us of

00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:32.720
 what we

00:47:32.720 --> 00:47:33.240
 go on

00:47:33.240 --> 00:47:33.640
 doing,

00:47:34.860 --> 00:47:35.940
 coming to

00:47:35.940 --> 00:47:36.380
 the Lord

00:47:36.380 --> 00:47:37.019
 Jesus,

00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:38.600
 fixing our

00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:39.739
 eyes on

00:47:39.739 --> 00:47:39.980
 him,

00:47:40.139 --> 00:47:40.699
 repent,

00:47:41.739 --> 00:47:42.299
 repent,

00:47:42.579 --> 00:47:43.179
 he says.

00:47:43.839 --> 00:47:44.199
 Turn,

00:47:44.319 --> 00:47:44.819
 that means,

00:47:44.940 --> 00:47:45.599
 turn away

00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:46.279
 from the

00:47:46.279 --> 00:47:46.719
 direction

00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:47.319
 you're going,

00:47:47.380 --> 00:47:48.139
 away from

00:47:48.139 --> 00:47:49.139
 God and

00:47:49.139 --> 00:47:50.279
 turn to

00:47:50.279 --> 00:47:50.679
 him.

00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:54.420
 Can you

00:47:54.420 --> 00:47:55.139
 imagine what

00:47:55.139 --> 00:47:55.420
 it would be

00:47:55.420 --> 00:47:57.239
 like if no

00:47:57.239 --> 00:47:57.920
 one listened

00:47:57.920 --> 00:47:59.099
 to a word

00:47:59.099 --> 00:47:59.659
 you said?

00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:01.860
 If anyone

00:48:01.860 --> 00:48:02.539
 you spoke

00:48:02.539 --> 00:48:02.699
 to,

00:48:02.739 --> 00:48:03.159
 anyone you

00:48:03.159 --> 00:48:03.579
 shouted

00:48:03.579 --> 00:48:03.819
 to,

00:48:04.219 --> 00:48:04.579
 they're not

00:48:04.579 --> 00:48:05.199
 listening to

00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:05.639
 a thing

00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:06.339
 that you

00:48:06.339 --> 00:48:06.739
 say.

00:48:07.299 --> 00:48:07.719
 Maybe you

00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:08.079
 think this

00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:08.360
 is your

00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:08.980
 experience

00:48:08.980 --> 00:48:09.500
 even just

00:48:09.500 --> 00:48:09.840
 now.

00:48:10.340 --> 00:48:10.759
 Come to

00:48:10.759 --> 00:48:11.199
 my home

00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:11.480
 for a

00:48:11.480 --> 00:48:11.619
 minute,

00:48:11.699 --> 00:48:11.980
 you think

00:48:11.980 --> 00:48:12.559
 nobody's

00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:13.059
 listening to

00:48:13.059 --> 00:48:14.699
 a word

00:48:14.699 --> 00:48:15.139
 I'm saying

00:48:15.139 --> 00:48:15.500
 anyway.

00:48:16.460 --> 00:48:17.159
 But imagine

00:48:17.159 --> 00:48:17.840
 if that was

00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:18.579
 your situation

00:48:18.579 --> 00:48:19.619
 day after

00:48:19.619 --> 00:48:20.340
 day after

00:48:20.340 --> 00:48:20.739
 day.

00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:22.099
 You're crying

00:48:22.099 --> 00:48:22.480
 out,

00:48:22.579 --> 00:48:23.139
 you're shouting

00:48:23.139 --> 00:48:23.799
 for help,

00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:24.840
 you're asking

00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:25.860
 for help

00:48:25.860 --> 00:48:26.380
 in so many

00:48:26.380 --> 00:48:26.799
 different

00:48:26.799 --> 00:48:27.360
 situations,

00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:28.059
 and no

00:48:28.059 --> 00:48:28.500
 one is

00:48:28.500 --> 00:48:28.960
 listening.

00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:31.299
 Is that

00:48:31.299 --> 00:48:31.659
 the way

00:48:31.659 --> 00:48:32.460
 God is

00:48:32.460 --> 00:48:33.079
 with us?

00:48:34.319 --> 00:48:34.860
 We may

00:48:34.860 --> 00:48:35.480
 feel that

00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:36.039
 no one's

00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:36.440
 listening

00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:37.019
 to us,

00:48:37.380 --> 00:48:38.119
 but there

00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:38.440
 is a

00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:38.840
 God

00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:39.599
 who is.

00:48:40.860 --> 00:48:41.420
 And that's

00:48:41.420 --> 00:48:41.719
 what we're

00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:42.340
 constantly

00:48:42.340 --> 00:48:43.320
 reminded of

00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:43.679
 in his

00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:44.659
 word,

00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:46.099
 that he

00:48:46.099 --> 00:48:46.480
 is a

00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:46.900
 God

00:48:46.900 --> 00:48:47.659
 who

00:48:47.659 --> 00:48:48.259
 listens,

00:48:49.259 --> 00:48:49.619
 and a

00:48:49.619 --> 00:48:50.159
 God who

00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:50.920
 hears

00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:52.139
 the cries

00:48:52.139 --> 00:48:52.539
 of his

00:48:52.539 --> 00:48:53.079
 people.

00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:54.559
 That psalm

00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:54.800
 that we

00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:55.239
 were singing

00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:55.659
 together,

00:48:55.820 --> 00:48:57.219
 Psalm 116,

00:48:57.920 --> 00:48:58.659
 a wonderful

00:48:58.659 --> 00:48:59.820
 reminder there

00:48:59.820 --> 00:49:01.039
 of a love

00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:01.460
 for the

00:49:01.460 --> 00:49:01.739
 Lord.

00:49:01.820 --> 00:49:02.440
 I love

00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:03.059
 the Lord

00:49:03.059 --> 00:49:03.980
 because my

00:49:03.980 --> 00:49:05.280
 voice and

00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:05.980
 prayers

00:49:05.980 --> 00:49:06.940
 heeded

00:49:06.940 --> 00:49:07.380
 here.

00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:08.940
 Even when

00:49:08.940 --> 00:49:09.360
 we feel

00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:09.900
 no one

00:49:09.900 --> 00:49:10.639
 else is

00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:11.099
 listening,

00:49:12.099 --> 00:49:12.679
 God is

00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:13.139
 listening.

00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:14.360
 And that

00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:15.159
 is Peter's

00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:16.099
 exhortation

00:49:16.099 --> 00:49:16.599
 to them

00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:17.079
 here.

00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:18.500
 Repent,

00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:20.039
 be baptized,

00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:21.559
 turn to

00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:22.000
 the Lord

00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:23.139
 Jesus Christ.

00:49:24.500 --> 00:49:25.139
 God

00:49:25.139 --> 00:49:26.320
 listens to

00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:26.960
 the pleas

00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:27.300
 of his

00:49:27.300 --> 00:49:27.679
 people.

00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:28.000
 God

00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:29.000
 listens to

00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:29.659
 the cries

00:49:29.659 --> 00:49:30.019
 of his

00:49:30.019 --> 00:49:30.480
 people.

00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:31.679
 and he

00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:32.219
 will listen

00:49:32.219 --> 00:49:32.500
 to

00:49:32.500 --> 00:49:33.199
 yours.

00:49:34.900 --> 00:49:35.500
 If you

00:49:35.500 --> 00:49:36.139
 are seeking

00:49:36.139 --> 00:49:36.780
 the Lord,

00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:37.380
 the Lord

00:49:37.380 --> 00:49:37.920
 says,

00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:39.079
 seek and

00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:39.420
 you will

00:49:39.420 --> 00:49:39.920
 find.

00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:41.519
 Knock and

00:49:41.519 --> 00:49:41.960
 the door

00:49:41.960 --> 00:49:42.280
 will be

00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:43.519
 opened unto

00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:43.960
 you.

00:49:45.340 --> 00:49:45.719
 And he's

00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:46.280
 saying keep

00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:46.719
 going.

00:49:48.059 --> 00:49:48.420
 He's

00:49:48.420 --> 00:49:48.880
 listening.

00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:51.679
 As a

00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:52.099
 people,

00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:53.139
 as God's

00:49:53.139 --> 00:49:53.599
 people,

00:49:53.699 --> 00:49:53.920
 do we

00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:54.500
 give up in

00:49:54.500 --> 00:49:55.199
 prayer too

00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:55.639
 easily?

00:49:56.380 --> 00:49:56.960
 Or do we

00:49:56.960 --> 00:49:58.099
 keep praying

00:49:58.099 --> 00:49:58.579
 with that

00:49:58.579 --> 00:49:59.840
 prayerful

00:49:59.840 --> 00:50:01.100
 passion?

00:50:01.260 --> 00:50:01.539
 That he

00:50:01.539 --> 00:50:02.160
 will listen,

00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:02.640
 that he

00:50:02.640 --> 00:50:03.420
 will answer

00:50:03.420 --> 00:50:04.940
 our prayers.

00:50:06.100 --> 00:50:06.579
 Again,

00:50:06.620 --> 00:50:06.840
 as we

00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:07.519
 come away

00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:08.400
 from this

00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:08.880
 weekend,

00:50:09.780 --> 00:50:10.019
 is to

00:50:10.019 --> 00:50:10.400
 have that

00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:11.260
 expectation

00:50:11.260 --> 00:50:12.220
 that he

00:50:12.220 --> 00:50:12.900
 will listen,

00:50:13.420 --> 00:50:13.840
 that he

00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:14.579
 will hear

00:50:14.579 --> 00:50:15.820
 my cry.

00:50:16.660 --> 00:50:17.079
 So here

00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:17.460
 in verse

00:50:17.460 --> 00:50:17.980
 38,

00:50:18.120 --> 00:50:19.220
 Peter is

00:50:19.220 --> 00:50:20.200
 exhorting

00:50:20.200 --> 00:50:21.240
 his people.

00:50:21.740 --> 00:50:22.180
 He is

00:50:22.180 --> 00:50:22.940
 exhorting

00:50:22.940 --> 00:50:23.200
 them,

00:50:23.660 --> 00:50:24.620
 repent and

00:50:24.620 --> 00:50:25.280
 be baptized.

00:50:26.740 --> 00:50:27.160
 And if

00:50:27.160 --> 00:50:27.660
 you do,

00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:28.380
 there is

00:50:28.380 --> 00:50:29.200
 this promise

00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:29.719
 for you

00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:29.980
 that you

00:50:29.980 --> 00:50:30.579
 will receive

00:50:30.579 --> 00:50:31.139
 the gift

00:50:31.139 --> 00:50:31.480
 of the

00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:32.319
 Holy Spirit

00:50:32.319 --> 00:50:33.219
 for you

00:50:33.219 --> 00:50:33.519
 and your

00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:33.899
 children

00:50:33.899 --> 00:50:34.259
 and for

00:50:34.259 --> 00:50:34.779
 all who

00:50:34.779 --> 00:50:35.319
 are afar

00:50:35.319 --> 00:50:35.500
 of,

00:50:35.919 --> 00:50:36.339
 everyone

00:50:36.339 --> 00:50:36.799
 whom the

00:50:36.799 --> 00:50:37.779
 Lord calls

00:50:37.779 --> 00:50:38.659
 to himself.

00:50:40.059 --> 00:50:40.399
 And you

00:50:40.399 --> 00:50:41.480
 notice how

00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:42.059
 he keeps

00:50:42.059 --> 00:50:42.579
 going.

00:50:43.259 --> 00:50:43.699
 It says

00:50:43.699 --> 00:50:44.119
 in verse

00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:44.579
 40,

00:50:44.579 --> 00:50:45.480
 with many

00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:46.199
 other words

00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:46.619
 he bore

00:50:46.619 --> 00:50:47.339
 witness and

00:50:47.339 --> 00:50:47.960
 continued to

00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:48.500
 exhort

00:50:48.500 --> 00:50:48.699
 them,

00:50:48.879 --> 00:50:49.099
 saying,

00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:50.039
 save

00:50:50.039 --> 00:50:50.779
 yourselves

00:50:50.779 --> 00:50:52.059
 from this

00:50:52.059 --> 00:50:52.579
 crooked

00:50:52.579 --> 00:50:53.500
 generation.

00:50:55.179 --> 00:50:55.919
 It was

00:50:55.919 --> 00:50:56.679
 the role

00:50:56.679 --> 00:50:57.000
 of the

00:50:57.000 --> 00:50:57.500
 apostles,

00:50:57.500 --> 00:50:58.179
 the early

00:50:58.179 --> 00:50:58.639
 church,

00:50:58.980 --> 00:50:59.380
 to go

00:50:59.380 --> 00:50:59.800
 out and

00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:00.340
 proclaim

00:51:00.340 --> 00:51:01.340
 the word

00:51:01.340 --> 00:51:01.860
 of God.

00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:02.199
 It's the

00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:02.860
 privilege of

00:51:02.860 --> 00:51:03.699
 every preacher

00:51:03.699 --> 00:51:04.880
 to go out

00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:05.199
 with the

00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:05.699
 word of

00:51:05.699 --> 00:51:05.960
 God,

00:51:06.039 --> 00:51:06.840
 to exhort

00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:07.519
 a people,

00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:09.519
 to plead

00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:10.460
 with a

00:51:10.460 --> 00:51:10.900
 people.

00:51:11.780 --> 00:51:12.219
 And it's

00:51:12.219 --> 00:51:12.760
 the same

00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:13.380
 message.

00:51:14.099 --> 00:51:14.460
 Same

00:51:14.460 --> 00:51:15.679
 message you

00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:16.119
 hear from

00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:16.599
 myself,

00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:17.320
 you hear from

00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:17.679
 James,

00:51:17.780 --> 00:51:18.159
 you hear from

00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:18.900
 every preacher

00:51:18.900 --> 00:51:20.079
 who stands

00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:20.539
 in this

00:51:20.539 --> 00:51:21.159
 pulpit,

00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:23.000
 a pleading,

00:51:23.780 --> 00:51:24.659
 an urgency,

00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:25.420
 a crying

00:51:25.420 --> 00:51:26.139
 unto you

00:51:26.139 --> 00:51:26.559
 who are

00:51:26.559 --> 00:51:27.059
 lost,

00:51:27.619 --> 00:51:27.960
 repent

00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:29.219
 and be

00:51:29.219 --> 00:51:30.839
 baptized,

00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:32.420
 every one

00:51:32.420 --> 00:51:32.839
 of you.

00:51:33.559 --> 00:51:34.619
 Listen to

00:51:34.619 --> 00:51:35.159
 what he is

00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:35.519
 saying.

00:51:35.659 --> 00:51:36.299
 He says,

00:51:37.299 --> 00:51:38.059
 save

00:51:38.059 --> 00:51:39.079
 yourselves

00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:40.460
 from this

00:51:40.460 --> 00:51:41.079
 crooked

00:51:41.079 --> 00:51:42.159
 generation.

00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:42.239
 salvation.

00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:48.719
 We live

00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:49.579
 in a

00:51:49.579 --> 00:51:50.119
 world that

00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:50.279
 is

00:51:50.279 --> 00:51:50.859
 perishing.

00:51:51.659 --> 00:51:52.940
 We live

00:51:52.940 --> 00:51:53.500
 as a

00:51:53.500 --> 00:51:54.159
 people who

00:51:54.159 --> 00:51:54.339
 are

00:51:54.339 --> 00:51:54.879
 perishing.

00:51:55.639 --> 00:51:56.339
 We live

00:51:56.339 --> 00:51:56.659
 as a

00:51:56.659 --> 00:51:57.679
 people who

00:51:57.679 --> 00:51:58.239
 have no

00:51:58.239 --> 00:51:58.859
 continuing

00:51:58.859 --> 00:51:59.879
 city here.

00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:01.000
 The day

00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:01.699
 will come

00:52:01.699 --> 00:52:02.539
 when we're

00:52:02.539 --> 00:52:03.299
 called away.

00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:05.000
 Our time

00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:06.199
 will come.

00:52:06.980 --> 00:52:07.500
 And that is

00:52:07.500 --> 00:52:08.319
 the urgency

00:52:08.319 --> 00:52:09.420
 of this

00:52:09.420 --> 00:52:10.000
 message.

00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:11.360
 save

00:52:11.360 --> 00:52:12.360
 yourselves

00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:13.000
 from this

00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:13.420
 crooked

00:52:13.420 --> 00:52:14.639
 generation.

00:52:15.380 --> 00:52:16.219
 Repent

00:52:16.219 --> 00:52:17.300
 and be

00:52:17.300 --> 00:52:17.699
 baptized.

00:52:18.699 --> 00:52:19.219
 Turn

00:52:19.219 --> 00:52:20.059
 to the

00:52:20.059 --> 00:52:20.440
 Lord.

00:52:21.639 --> 00:52:22.139
 Do not

00:52:22.139 --> 00:52:22.679
 harden

00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:23.380
 your

00:52:23.380 --> 00:52:23.980
 hearts.

00:52:25.059 --> 00:52:25.519
 Don't let

00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:26.219
 this become

00:52:26.219 --> 00:52:26.679
 just a

00:52:26.679 --> 00:52:27.179
 ritual,

00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:28.280
 coming into

00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:28.820
 the place

00:52:28.820 --> 00:52:29.320
 of God

00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:29.760
 and going

00:52:29.760 --> 00:52:30.260
 away

00:52:30.260 --> 00:52:31.320
 and thinking

00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:32.119
 nothing of

00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:32.400
 it.

00:52:33.960 --> 00:52:34.679
 Hear

00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:35.380
 what God

00:52:35.380 --> 00:52:36.000
 is saying.

00:52:36.980 --> 00:52:37.440
 Hear

00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:37.760
 that he

00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:38.380
 is crying

00:52:38.380 --> 00:52:38.840
 to his

00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:39.400
 people.

00:52:40.240 --> 00:52:41.400
 Be saved.

00:52:41.940 --> 00:52:42.640
 Repent

00:52:42.640 --> 00:52:43.960
 and turn.

00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:46.519
 The word

00:52:46.519 --> 00:52:47.559
 says here

00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:48.780
 that with

00:52:48.780 --> 00:52:49.360
 many other

00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:50.400
 words he

00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:51.059
 exhorted

00:52:51.059 --> 00:52:51.500
 them.

00:52:52.780 --> 00:52:53.440
 And those

00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:54.640
 who received

00:52:54.640 --> 00:52:55.900
 his word

00:52:55.900 --> 00:52:56.760
 it says

00:52:56.760 --> 00:52:57.220
 in verse

00:52:57.220 --> 00:52:57.940
 41.

00:52:58.880 --> 00:52:59.260
 In other

00:52:59.260 --> 00:53:00.019
 translations

00:53:00.019 --> 00:53:00.720
 it says

00:53:00.720 --> 00:53:01.280
 those who

00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:01.920
 gladly

00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:03.160
 received

00:53:03.160 --> 00:53:03.940
 his word.

00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:04.780
 They were

00:53:04.780 --> 00:53:05.440
 baptized.

00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:07.500
 they

00:53:07.500 --> 00:53:08.079
 believed

00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:08.300
 they

00:53:08.300 --> 00:53:08.740
 turned

00:53:08.740 --> 00:53:09.019
 to

00:53:09.019 --> 00:53:09.480
 God.

00:53:10.380 --> 00:53:10.500
 Oh

00:53:10.500 --> 00:53:11.099
 the joy

00:53:11.099 --> 00:53:11.820
 of hearing

00:53:11.820 --> 00:53:12.480
 the voice

00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:13.179
 of God

00:53:13.179 --> 00:53:14.400
 and turning

00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:15.019
 to him.

00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:16.320
 Listening

00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:16.780
 to him

00:53:16.780 --> 00:53:17.480
 and finding

00:53:17.480 --> 00:53:17.980
 in him

00:53:17.980 --> 00:53:19.000
 the joy

00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:19.980
 of salvation.

00:53:20.760 --> 00:53:21.119
 Finding

00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:21.679
 in him

00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:22.659
 the beauty

00:53:22.659 --> 00:53:23.179
 of this

00:53:23.179 --> 00:53:23.639
 world

00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:24.220
 fulfilled

00:53:24.220 --> 00:53:24.820
 through

00:53:24.820 --> 00:53:25.400
 Christ.

00:53:25.659 --> 00:53:26.019
 Because

00:53:26.019 --> 00:53:26.260
 there is

00:53:26.260 --> 00:53:26.920
 nothing in

00:53:26.920 --> 00:53:27.440
 this world

00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:28.380
 that compares

00:53:28.380 --> 00:53:29.980
 on the

00:53:29.980 --> 00:53:30.519
 love of

00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:31.019
 Christ

00:53:31.019 --> 00:53:31.940
 to us.

00:53:31.940 --> 00:53:33.980
 that is

00:53:33.980 --> 00:53:35.000
 the exhortation

00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:35.820
 that he

00:53:35.820 --> 00:53:36.480
 gives to

00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:37.880
 us again

00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:38.980
 and again.

00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:39.320
 And the

00:53:39.320 --> 00:53:40.079
 exhortation

00:53:40.079 --> 00:53:40.519
 that I

00:53:40.519 --> 00:53:41.139
 give to

00:53:41.139 --> 00:53:41.920
 you tonight

00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:43.460
 to plead

00:53:43.460 --> 00:53:44.079
 with you

00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:45.179
 that if

00:53:45.179 --> 00:53:45.539
 you are

00:53:45.539 --> 00:53:46.220
 lost

00:53:46.220 --> 00:53:47.519
 repent

00:53:47.519 --> 00:53:49.059
 turn

00:53:49.059 --> 00:53:50.360
 save

00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:51.059
 yourselves

00:53:51.059 --> 00:53:52.200
 from this

00:53:52.200 --> 00:53:52.579
 crooked

00:53:52.579 --> 00:53:53.300
 generation

00:53:53.300 --> 00:53:54.619
 by coming

00:53:54.619 --> 00:53:55.440
 to the

00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:56.220
 Lord Jesus.

00:53:56.960 --> 00:53:58.460
 He hears

00:53:58.460 --> 00:53:59.940
 your cries.

00:54:00.700 --> 00:54:01.000
 He will

00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:01.440
 listen.

00:54:01.940 --> 00:54:02.380
 and he

00:54:02.380 --> 00:54:02.960
 will never

00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:03.960
 turn you

00:54:03.960 --> 00:54:04.320
 away.

00:54:05.059 --> 00:54:05.360
 You may

00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:06.039
 find others

00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:06.420
 who won't

00:54:06.420 --> 00:54:07.340
 listen to

00:54:07.340 --> 00:54:07.820
 a word

00:54:07.820 --> 00:54:08.200
 that you

00:54:08.200 --> 00:54:08.539
 say.

00:54:09.539 --> 00:54:09.960
 But the

00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:10.579
 Lord will

00:54:10.579 --> 00:54:11.639
 always listen.

00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:12.760
 And may

00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:13.300
 you come

00:54:13.300 --> 00:54:13.980
 to sing

00:54:13.980 --> 00:54:14.720
 that song

00:54:14.720 --> 00:54:15.139
 anew

00:54:15.139 --> 00:54:16.119
 with more

00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:16.440
 meaning

00:54:16.440 --> 00:54:16.880
 than ever

00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:17.420
 before

00:54:17.420 --> 00:54:18.019
 to say

00:54:18.019 --> 00:54:18.740
 I love

00:54:18.740 --> 00:54:19.460
 the Lord

00:54:19.460 --> 00:54:20.900
 because my

00:54:20.900 --> 00:54:21.500
 voice

00:54:21.500 --> 00:54:22.960
 and prayers

00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:23.559
 heeded

00:54:23.559 --> 00:54:23.980
 here.

00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:26.960
 The final

00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:27.500
 thing we

00:54:27.500 --> 00:54:28.019
 see in

00:54:28.019 --> 00:54:28.320
 this

00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:29.400
 is that

00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:30.280
 sense of

00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:31.539
 expectation.

00:54:31.940 --> 00:54:33.340
 that

00:54:33.340 --> 00:54:34.099
 sense of

00:54:34.099 --> 00:54:35.159
 expectation

00:54:35.159 --> 00:54:35.780
 that we

00:54:35.780 --> 00:54:36.340
 should have

00:54:36.340 --> 00:54:37.179
 in our

00:54:37.179 --> 00:54:37.559
 hearts

00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:38.000
 in two

00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:38.460
 different

00:54:38.460 --> 00:54:38.960
 ways.

00:54:39.460 --> 00:54:39.780
 When you

00:54:39.780 --> 00:54:40.099
 look at

00:54:40.099 --> 00:54:40.619
 Peter

00:54:40.619 --> 00:54:41.200
 preaching

00:54:41.200 --> 00:54:41.619
 this

00:54:41.619 --> 00:54:42.159
 gospel

00:54:42.159 --> 00:54:42.940
 to the

00:54:42.940 --> 00:54:43.360
 people

00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:43.659
 then

00:54:43.659 --> 00:54:44.320
 you

00:54:44.320 --> 00:54:44.740
 wonder

00:54:44.740 --> 00:54:45.099
 what he

00:54:45.099 --> 00:54:45.840
 expected

00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:46.220
 at the

00:54:46.220 --> 00:54:46.500
 end

00:54:46.500 --> 00:54:46.860
 of it.

00:54:47.820 --> 00:54:47.940
 A

00:54:47.940 --> 00:54:48.159
 people

00:54:48.159 --> 00:54:48.380
 who had

00:54:48.380 --> 00:54:48.599
 been

00:54:48.599 --> 00:54:49.159
 shouting

00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:49.720
 abuse

00:54:49.720 --> 00:54:50.059
 one

00:54:50.059 --> 00:54:50.420
 minute

00:54:50.420 --> 00:54:51.220
 you

00:54:51.220 --> 00:54:51.500
 notice

00:54:51.500 --> 00:54:51.880
 what it

00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:52.119
 says

00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:52.340
 in

00:54:52.340 --> 00:54:52.619
 verse

00:54:52.619 --> 00:54:53.440
 41

00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:54.320
 they

00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:54.820
 received

00:54:54.820 --> 00:54:55.000
 the

00:54:55.000 --> 00:54:55.440
 word

00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:56.320
 gladly

00:54:56.320 --> 00:54:56.480
 and

00:54:56.480 --> 00:54:56.619
 were

00:54:56.619 --> 00:54:57.220
 baptized

00:54:57.220 --> 00:54:57.420
 and

00:54:57.420 --> 00:54:57.480
 they

00:54:57.480 --> 00:54:57.599
 were

00:54:57.599 --> 00:54:57.940
 added

00:54:57.940 --> 00:54:58.340
 that

00:54:58.340 --> 00:54:58.720
 day

00:54:58.720 --> 00:54:59.619
 about

00:54:59.619 --> 00:55:00.679
 3,000

00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:01.460
 souls.

00:55:02.659 --> 00:55:03.380
 The

00:55:03.380 --> 00:55:03.800
 wonder

00:55:03.800 --> 00:55:04.460
 and beauty

00:55:04.460 --> 00:55:05.420
 of the

00:55:05.420 --> 00:55:05.980
 power of

00:55:05.980 --> 00:55:06.599
 the gospel

00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:07.800
 and we

00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:08.300
 should never

00:55:08.300 --> 00:55:09.340
 lose sight

00:55:09.340 --> 00:55:10.579
 of that.

00:55:11.240 --> 00:55:11.599
 So two

00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:12.579
 expectations

00:55:12.579 --> 00:55:13.679
 that we

00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:14.179
 should have

00:55:14.179 --> 00:55:14.920
 coming away

00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:15.460
 from this

00:55:15.460 --> 00:55:15.780
 weekend.

00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:16.519
 First of

00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:16.840
 all

00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:18.000
 for those

00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:18.360
 who may

00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:19.099
 be seeking

00:55:19.099 --> 00:55:19.819
 the

00:55:19.819 --> 00:55:20.239
 Lord

00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:22.259
 to have

00:55:22.259 --> 00:55:22.420
 your

00:55:22.420 --> 00:55:23.299
 expectations

00:55:23.299 --> 00:55:24.679
 in

00:55:24.679 --> 00:55:25.099
 him

00:55:25.099 --> 00:55:26.759
 and not

00:55:26.759 --> 00:55:26.940
 in

00:55:26.940 --> 00:55:27.500
 yourself.

00:55:28.460 --> 00:55:28.819
 You

00:55:28.819 --> 00:55:29.339
 will never

00:55:29.339 --> 00:55:29.920
 be good

00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:30.259
 enough

00:55:30.259 --> 00:55:30.519
 through

00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:30.839
 anything

00:55:30.839 --> 00:55:31.299
 that you

00:55:31.299 --> 00:55:31.619
 do

00:55:31.619 --> 00:55:33.119
 but you

00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:33.420
 can put

00:55:33.420 --> 00:55:33.579
 your

00:55:33.579 --> 00:55:34.159
 trust

00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:35.039
 in the

00:55:35.039 --> 00:55:35.299
 Lord

00:55:35.299 --> 00:55:35.779
 Jesus

00:55:35.779 --> 00:55:36.519
 Christ.

00:55:39.159 --> 00:55:39.839
 Until

00:55:39.839 --> 00:55:40.500
 we come

00:55:40.500 --> 00:55:41.480
 under this

00:55:41.480 --> 00:55:42.059
 conviction

00:55:42.059 --> 00:55:42.500
 of the

00:55:42.500 --> 00:55:42.860
 word

00:55:42.860 --> 00:55:43.940
 we feel

00:55:43.940 --> 00:55:44.279
 that we

00:55:44.279 --> 00:55:44.719
 are good

00:55:44.719 --> 00:55:45.119
 enough

00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:45.420
 that we

00:55:45.420 --> 00:55:45.739
 are all

00:55:45.739 --> 00:55:46.259
 right as

00:55:46.259 --> 00:55:46.779
 we are

00:55:46.779 --> 00:55:48.139
 but this

00:55:48.139 --> 00:55:48.519
 word

00:55:48.519 --> 00:55:49.099
 that cuts

00:55:49.099 --> 00:55:49.500
 to the

00:55:49.500 --> 00:55:49.860
 heart

00:55:49.860 --> 00:55:50.159
 is

00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:51.079
 you're

00:55:51.079 --> 00:55:51.539
 not.

00:55:52.780 --> 00:55:53.440
 You're

00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:54.000
 not all

00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:54.320
 right

00:55:54.320 --> 00:55:54.619
 without

00:55:54.619 --> 00:55:55.199
 Christ.

00:55:55.780 --> 00:55:56.019
 It's

00:55:56.019 --> 00:55:56.579
 not all

00:55:56.579 --> 00:55:57.019
 well

00:55:57.019 --> 00:55:57.699
 without

00:55:57.699 --> 00:55:58.079
 him

00:55:58.079 --> 00:55:58.599
 far

00:55:58.599 --> 00:55:59.019
 from

00:55:59.019 --> 00:55:59.340
 it.

00:56:00.380 --> 00:56:00.699
 There's

00:56:00.699 --> 00:56:01.280
 a lost

00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:02.099
 eternity

00:56:02.099 --> 00:56:03.119
 before

00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:03.579
 you.

00:56:04.880 --> 00:56:05.719
 But you

00:56:05.719 --> 00:56:06.500
 can expect

00:56:06.500 --> 00:56:07.500
 great things

00:56:07.500 --> 00:56:08.800
 from God.

00:56:09.699 --> 00:56:10.179
 You can

00:56:10.179 --> 00:56:10.420
 have an

00:56:10.420 --> 00:56:11.159
 expectation

00:56:11.159 --> 00:56:12.360
 that he

00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:13.420
 will listen

00:56:13.420 --> 00:56:14.059
 to you.

00:56:14.500 --> 00:56:15.199
 That through

00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:16.099
 his word

00:56:16.099 --> 00:56:16.940
 he is

00:56:16.940 --> 00:56:17.699
 speaking to

00:56:17.699 --> 00:56:17.940
 you.

00:56:17.940 --> 00:56:18.780
 this word

00:56:18.780 --> 00:56:19.800
 that cuts

00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:20.320
 you to

00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:20.940
 the heart.

00:56:21.740 --> 00:56:22.639
 But will

00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:24.039
 you respond?

00:56:24.280 --> 00:56:24.539
 Will you

00:56:24.539 --> 00:56:24.940
 listen?

00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:26.460
 The

00:56:26.460 --> 00:56:26.840
 pleading

00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:27.980
 is to

00:56:27.980 --> 00:56:28.240
 not

00:56:28.240 --> 00:56:28.780
 harden

00:56:28.780 --> 00:56:29.539
 your

00:56:29.539 --> 00:56:30.019
 heart.

00:56:31.119 --> 00:56:31.440
 Listen

00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:32.240
 to what

00:56:32.240 --> 00:56:32.579
 he is

00:56:32.579 --> 00:56:32.960
 saying

00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:34.200
 and repent

00:56:34.200 --> 00:56:35.940
 and believe.

00:56:36.659 --> 00:56:37.280
 Because what

00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:37.740
 is more

00:56:37.740 --> 00:56:38.619
 important to

00:56:38.619 --> 00:56:38.860
 you?

00:56:40.200 --> 00:56:40.780
 A few

00:56:40.780 --> 00:56:41.539
 years in

00:56:41.539 --> 00:56:42.280
 this world

00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:43.780
 with the

00:56:43.780 --> 00:56:44.539
 pleasures that

00:56:44.539 --> 00:56:45.159
 it offers

00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:45.599
 and I

00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:46.000
 lost

00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:46.859
 eternity

00:56:46.859 --> 00:56:49.199
 or years

00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:50.039
 of blessing

00:56:50.039 --> 00:56:51.059
 by him

00:56:51.059 --> 00:56:51.460
 in this

00:56:51.460 --> 00:56:52.019
 world and

00:56:52.019 --> 00:56:52.799
 an eternity

00:56:52.799 --> 00:56:53.579
 with him

00:56:53.579 --> 00:56:54.440
 forever.

00:56:55.559 --> 00:56:56.139
 Nothing

00:56:56.139 --> 00:56:57.359
 compares.

00:56:58.480 --> 00:56:58.799
 So your

00:56:58.799 --> 00:56:59.699
 expectations

00:56:59.699 --> 00:57:00.879
 coming away

00:57:00.879 --> 00:57:01.339
 as a

00:57:01.339 --> 00:57:01.819
 seeker.

00:57:02.819 --> 00:57:03.119
 Keep

00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:03.679
 seeking.

00:57:04.279 --> 00:57:05.099
 Keep asking.

00:57:05.399 --> 00:57:06.119
 Keep knocking.

00:57:06.779 --> 00:57:07.519
 Keep going.

00:57:08.179 --> 00:57:08.699
 Because he

00:57:08.699 --> 00:57:09.279
 will listen.

00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:10.980
 But what

00:57:10.980 --> 00:57:11.360
 about our

00:57:11.360 --> 00:57:12.160
 expectation

00:57:12.160 --> 00:57:13.580
 as believers

00:57:13.580 --> 00:57:14.780
 as well?

00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:16.100
 We come

00:57:16.100 --> 00:57:16.700
 away from

00:57:16.700 --> 00:57:17.519
 this weekend

00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:18.580
 and let us

00:57:18.580 --> 00:57:19.560
 have great

00:57:19.560 --> 00:57:20.560
 expectations

00:57:20.560 --> 00:57:21.180
 of what

00:57:21.180 --> 00:57:21.780
 God can

00:57:21.780 --> 00:57:22.080
 do.

00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:23.160
 Great

00:57:23.160 --> 00:57:23.980
 expectations

00:57:23.980 --> 00:57:24.760
 that God

00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:25.400
 is working.

00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:26.540
 That God

00:57:26.540 --> 00:57:27.240
 is always

00:57:27.240 --> 00:57:28.080
 sovereign and

00:57:28.080 --> 00:57:28.940
 overruling

00:57:28.940 --> 00:57:29.900
 in all

00:57:29.900 --> 00:57:30.560
 things.

00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:31.900
 We may

00:57:31.900 --> 00:57:32.580
 not see

00:57:32.580 --> 00:57:33.880
 3,000

00:57:33.880 --> 00:57:34.500
 souls

00:57:34.500 --> 00:57:35.140
 converted

00:57:35.140 --> 00:57:36.019
 here today.

00:57:37.019 --> 00:57:37.800
 But we

00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:38.320
 rejoice

00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:39.300
 in even

00:57:39.300 --> 00:57:39.700
 one.

00:57:40.460 --> 00:57:40.760
 Because

00:57:40.760 --> 00:57:41.240
 remember

00:57:41.240 --> 00:57:41.539
 that there

00:57:41.539 --> 00:57:42.260
 is rejoicing

00:57:42.260 --> 00:57:42.780
 in heaven

00:57:42.780 --> 00:57:44.039
 over one

00:57:44.039 --> 00:57:44.380
 sinner

00:57:44.380 --> 00:57:44.980
 saved.

00:57:46.200 --> 00:57:47.300
 So remember

00:57:47.300 --> 00:57:48.480
 God is

00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:49.100
 at work.

00:57:50.059 --> 00:57:50.480
 God can

00:57:50.480 --> 00:57:51.240
 do abundantly

00:57:51.240 --> 00:57:52.340
 more than

00:57:52.340 --> 00:57:53.120
 we ask

00:57:53.120 --> 00:57:53.980
 or imagine.

00:57:54.600 --> 00:57:54.920
 And may

00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:56.100
 our expectations

00:57:56.100 --> 00:57:56.920
 of him

00:57:56.920 --> 00:57:58.380
 never diminish,

00:57:58.539 --> 00:57:59.300
 never wane.

00:58:00.420 --> 00:58:00.840
 He is

00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:01.220
 able.

00:58:02.380 --> 00:58:02.559
 The

00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:02.980
 psalmist

00:58:02.980 --> 00:58:04.160
 says in

00:58:04.160 --> 00:58:05.120
 Psalm 62

00:58:05.120 --> 00:58:06.120
 My soul

00:58:06.120 --> 00:58:07.039
 wait thou

00:58:07.039 --> 00:58:07.840
 with patience

00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:08.720
 upon thy

00:58:08.720 --> 00:58:09.120
 God

00:58:09.120 --> 00:58:09.539
 alone.

00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:10.380
 On him

00:58:10.380 --> 00:58:11.200
 dependeth

00:58:11.200 --> 00:58:11.900
 all my

00:58:11.900 --> 00:58:12.539
 hope and

00:58:12.539 --> 00:58:13.480
 expectation.

00:58:14.600 --> 00:58:15.000
 He only

00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:16.079
 my salvation

00:58:16.079 --> 00:58:16.920
 is and my

00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:17.720
 strong rock

00:58:17.720 --> 00:58:18.260
 is he.

00:58:18.860 --> 00:58:19.559
 He only

00:58:19.559 --> 00:58:20.500
 is my

00:58:20.500 --> 00:58:20.980
 sure

00:58:20.980 --> 00:58:21.680
 defense.

00:58:22.280 --> 00:58:22.980
 I shall

00:58:22.980 --> 00:58:23.380
 not

00:58:23.380 --> 00:58:24.380
 move it

00:58:24.380 --> 00:58:25.019
 be.

00:58:26.820 --> 00:58:27.440
 As one

00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:28.360
 who believes

00:58:28.360 --> 00:58:29.220
 in the

00:58:29.220 --> 00:58:29.940
 Lord Jesus

00:58:29.940 --> 00:58:30.660
 Christ,

00:58:31.420 --> 00:58:32.079
 he is the

00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:33.240
 rock of

00:58:33.240 --> 00:58:34.240
 your salvation.

00:58:34.860 --> 00:58:35.340
 He is the

00:58:35.340 --> 00:58:35.920
 foundation

00:58:35.920 --> 00:58:37.059
 of your

00:58:37.059 --> 00:58:37.740
 salvation.

00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:38.740
 He will

00:58:38.740 --> 00:58:39.200
 never

00:58:39.200 --> 00:58:40.440
 let you

00:58:40.440 --> 00:58:40.780
 go.

00:58:42.019 --> 00:58:42.780
 Let us

00:58:42.780 --> 00:58:44.680
 always keep

00:58:44.680 --> 00:58:45.619
 the Lord

00:58:45.619 --> 00:58:46.680
 before us.

00:58:47.180 --> 00:58:47.659
 Let us

00:58:47.659 --> 00:58:48.980
 always look

00:58:48.980 --> 00:58:49.659
 unto him

00:58:49.659 --> 00:58:50.360
 and remember

00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:51.619
 the powerful

00:58:51.619 --> 00:58:52.360
 word that

00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:53.260
 Peter preached

00:58:53.260 --> 00:58:54.720
 and that saw

00:58:54.720 --> 00:58:56.260
 3,000 souls

00:58:56.260 --> 00:58:56.920
 converted.

00:58:57.659 --> 00:58:58.519
 It's the same

00:58:58.519 --> 00:58:59.800
 word that we

00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:00.420
 have in our

00:59:00.420 --> 00:59:01.280
 hands tonight.

00:59:01.940 --> 00:59:02.599
 The same

00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:03.800
 word we have

00:59:03.800 --> 00:59:04.340
 to share

00:59:04.340 --> 00:59:04.720
 with the

00:59:04.720 --> 00:59:05.440
 world around

00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:05.960
 us.

00:59:06.500 --> 00:59:07.160
 A word

00:59:07.160 --> 00:59:07.560
 that is

00:59:07.560 --> 00:59:08.220
 powerful.

00:59:08.740 --> 00:59:09.220
 A word

00:59:09.220 --> 00:59:09.519
 that we

00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:10.880
 pray many

00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:11.720
 will hear

00:59:11.720 --> 00:59:12.539
 and be

00:59:12.539 --> 00:59:13.280
 cut to the

00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:13.920
 heart by

00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:14.600
 and ask

00:59:14.600 --> 00:59:15.400
 the question

00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:16.720
 what shall

00:59:16.720 --> 00:59:17.539
 we do?

00:59:19.220 --> 00:59:19.720
 And as

00:59:19.720 --> 00:59:20.640
 they ask

00:59:20.640 --> 00:59:22.300
 may we be

00:59:22.300 --> 00:59:22.840
 able to

00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:23.300
 say

00:59:23.300 --> 00:59:24.640
 repent

00:59:24.640 --> 00:59:25.980
 and be

00:59:25.980 --> 00:59:26.780
 baptized

00:59:26.780 --> 00:59:28.080
 every one

00:59:28.080 --> 00:59:28.500
 of you.

00:59:29.200 --> 00:59:29.539
 Save

00:59:29.539 --> 00:59:30.240
 yourselves

00:59:30.240 --> 00:59:31.420
 from this

00:59:31.420 --> 00:59:31.760
 crooked

00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:32.780
 generation by

00:59:32.780 --> 00:59:34.000
 turning to

00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:34.460
 the Lord

00:59:34.460 --> 00:59:34.860
 Jesus

00:59:34.860 --> 00:59:35.560
 Christ

00:59:35.560 --> 00:59:37.060
 the one

00:59:37.060 --> 00:59:38.260
 who saved

00:59:38.260 --> 00:59:38.680
 me

00:59:38.680 --> 00:59:40.080
 the one

00:59:40.080 --> 00:59:40.980
 who can

00:59:40.980 --> 00:59:41.480
 save

00:59:41.480 --> 00:59:42.340
 anyone.

00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:44.000
 He is a

00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:44.600
 precious

00:59:44.600 --> 00:59:45.800
 saviour.

00:59:46.640 --> 00:59:47.360
 Let us

00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:48.540
 set him

00:59:48.540 --> 00:59:49.420
 before us

00:59:49.420 --> 00:59:50.240
 constantly

00:59:50.240 --> 00:59:51.540
 for he

00:59:51.540 --> 00:59:52.519
 will never

00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:53.100
 move.

00:59:53.620 --> 00:59:54.640
 He will

00:59:54.640 --> 00:59:55.340
 never let

00:59:55.340 --> 00:59:56.000
 us down.

00:59:56.560 --> 00:59:56.860
 So let

00:59:56.860 --> 00:59:58.000
 our expectations

00:59:58.000 --> 00:59:59.240
 of him

00:59:59.240 --> 01:00:00.500
 be great.

01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:01.620
