00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.400
 Good evening. It would be worth having Psalm 116 in front of our eyes as we have a look at it this evening.

00:00:08.099 --> 00:00:23.059
! So it would be great if you got that open. And as you get it ready, let me suggest to you that culturally, we tend to associate certain songs with certain occasions.

00:00:23.059 --> 00:00:47.019
 Now, I'll choose ones which are neutral, which won't apply to you. For example, if you like rugby, well, you might like rugby, and you're Welsh, we have a national anthem, of course, as do you, but there's a hymn, Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah, pilgrim through this barren land.

00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:59.980
 Bread of heaven, feed me now and evermore. From childhood, that hymn, right or wrong, is associated with watching Wales, as a child, play rugby.

00:00:59.979 --> 00:01:22.439
 A bit more common and untidy is that if you like football, if you like Liverpool, or even if you don't, you may well know that you'll never walk alone is a song that is always associated with that football team.

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:41.439
 Now, Psalm 116 is deeply associated in the mind of the writer or any child who ever, ever read it at Saturday school as a Jewish child.

00:01:41.439 --> 00:02:11.419
 So, Psalm 116 is deeply associated with the Passover festival.

00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:30.300
 And the last thing that a Jewish home ever did on the last night of Passover, a Thursday, was to have a meal together.

00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:37.140
 And when they had a meal together, they sang as the last thing they did that night.

00:02:38.460 --> 00:02:47.120
 Psalms 113 to Psalm 118, as they recorded for us, as the final Passover hymn.

00:02:47.120 --> 00:03:00.700
 So, when Jesus Christ goes to the last supper, Matthew tells us in chapter 26 and verse 30,

00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:06.259
 when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

00:03:06.259 --> 00:03:09.120
 You know the hymn.

00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:13.120
 It's Psalm 113 to 118.

00:03:14.419 --> 00:03:18.459
 Right in the middle of those psalms, as we have them captured in those numbers,

00:03:19.259 --> 00:03:24.259
 would be words that the Lord Jesus Christ would have known since he was a little boy.

00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.419
 He'd have known them inside out, upside down and round and round.

00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:32.039
 He could sing them any time.

00:03:33.079 --> 00:03:45.159
 Because every year since he was a kid, his family had sung that song the day before the Passover final celebration on a Friday.

00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:57.340
 So, my friends, when you ever read or sing Psalm 113 to 118, and tonight we're in the center, 116, and we shall look at it in detail.

00:03:57.900 --> 00:04:05.199
 You need to get, sorry, that's not fair, I need to get, we need to get, this clear point.

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:11.819
 These words that we're looking at tonight were in Jesus' mind as he walked into Gethsemane.

00:04:11.819 --> 00:04:16.620
 They were in his mind as Judas Iscariot betrayed him.

00:04:16.819 --> 00:04:19.759
 They were in his mind when he was arrested and beaten.

00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:22.879
 They would have been in his mind as he hung on a cross.

00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:35.319
 So, we are about to read through again the very psalm that Jesus knew applied to him on the cross.

00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:50.480
 The psalm, if you look down at it, refers to the horror of death three times in verses 3, verse 8, and verse 15.

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:59.600
 It's a psalm of despair at facing the agony and the horror and terror of death.

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:04.879
 But it is also a psalm of rescue.

00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:13.100
 It's a psalm that cries out that God will rescue his nation and his people, as sung at Passover.

00:05:13.100 --> 00:05:24.560
 When we read this psalm now together, we therefore need to look at it from a certain perspective.

00:05:26.020 --> 00:05:30.240
 When the psalmist wrote it, he was looking back to the Passover.

00:05:31.460 --> 00:05:32.280
 Make sense?

00:05:32.580 --> 00:05:34.220
 He was looking backwards in history.

00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.400
 As he wrote it, he didn't know.

00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:40.400
 He was writing forwards to Jesus Christ.

00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.359
 We live beyond the time of Christ.

00:05:44.719 --> 00:05:46.579
 So, now we can look back

00:05:46.579 --> 00:05:51.620
 via the cross of Christ

00:05:51.620 --> 00:05:54.879
 and the Jesus who knew this psalm applied to himself.

00:05:57.179 --> 00:06:00.079
 And then we can apply it to ourselves on this Sunday evening.

00:06:00.799 --> 00:06:03.639
 So that we may walk out of that door tonight saying,

00:06:03.859 --> 00:06:04.759
 I am glad.

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.639
 I am glad that I have a Savior.

00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:07.759
 I am glad.

00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:15.279
 It is my privilege to be a woman or a man who has Christ in their lives.

00:06:19.419 --> 00:06:21.819
 Psalm 116 is Jesus' song.

00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:27.139
 The Jesus who knew that as he walked into that cross and grave,

00:06:27.719 --> 00:06:29.299
 who cried out,

00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:30.300
 Father,

00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:32.079
 Father, take this cup from me,

00:06:32.180 --> 00:06:33.120
 but not my will,

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:34.180
 but your will be done.

00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:36.160
 The very Jesus Christ,

00:06:37.340 --> 00:06:39.139
 who cried those words,

00:06:39.819 --> 00:06:41.400
 knew he would go to the cross,

00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:42.900
 knew it would be anguish,

00:06:43.340 --> 00:06:44.900
 knew he would defeat death,

00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:49.580
 and knew that you and I would be in this building tonight,

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:51.160
 looking back.

00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.500
 When he says to us,

00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:53.840
 all right,

00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:54.100
 you,

00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:55.540
 sing the song with me,

00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:57.060
 because it's your song now.

00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:59.920
 It is your song now,

00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.380
 because of what I've done.

00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:03.320
 So come on,

00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:05.220
 let's get into the song,

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:06.560
 because if you're a Christian,

00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:07.520
 it's your song,

00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:09.460
 through faith in Jesus Christ.

00:07:09.860 --> 00:07:10.520
 Here we go.

00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:12.520
 Let's have a look at it in detail then.

00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:14.339
 Verses 1 to 2.

00:07:15.299 --> 00:07:16.560
 Please have a look at it.

00:07:17.740 --> 00:07:18.859
 It's full of emotion.

00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:20.240
 I love the Lord,

00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:23.139
 because he has heard my voice,

00:07:23.219 --> 00:07:24.659
 and my pleas for mercy,

00:07:25.019 --> 00:07:27.180
 because he inclined his ear to me,

00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:30.339
 therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

00:07:32.379 --> 00:07:34.199
 Let's sing this song,

00:07:34.299 --> 00:07:34.939
 as it were,

00:07:35.939 --> 00:07:37.099
 as a Christian,

00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:38.799
 if you are a Christian tonight.

00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.079
 Jesus' death at the cross,

00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:43.899
 the Passover lamb,

00:07:44.299 --> 00:07:45.819
 as he sang this song,

00:07:45.939 --> 00:07:47.120
 going to that cross,

00:07:47.899 --> 00:07:52.279
 he made it possible for you and me to say this evening,

00:07:52.859 --> 00:07:53.819
 I love the Lord.

00:07:54.539 --> 00:07:55.680
 I really do.

00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.279
 I just love him.

00:08:01.339 --> 00:08:02.779
 Why would we love him?

00:08:02.859 --> 00:08:03.719
 Look at verse 1.

00:08:04.060 --> 00:08:05.620
 Because he has heard my voice.

00:08:07.159 --> 00:08:09.639
 As Jesus cried to his father that night,

00:08:09.979 --> 00:08:11.399
 he goes on to beat death.

00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:12.620
 He goes on to beat the grave.

00:08:12.859 --> 00:08:14.079
 He goes on to reach you,

00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:16.179
 so that you can say this Sunday evening,

00:08:16.659 --> 00:08:17.859
 I love the Lord.

00:08:18.239 --> 00:08:18.500
 Why?

00:08:18.899 --> 00:08:20.299
 Because he hears my voice.

00:08:22.019 --> 00:08:23.819
 He's always listening for me.

00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:24.519
 Look,

00:08:25.459 --> 00:08:27.179
 he hears my pleas for mercy.

00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:29.579
 When life is terrible,

00:08:30.919 --> 00:08:32.120
 when it's gone wrong,

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:33.139
 when it's broken,

00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:35.100
 who can I turn to?

00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:37.480
 When I have sinned,

00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:39.159
 when I've let myself down,

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:40.580
 when I've let my parents down,

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.560
 my family down,

00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.980
 when I'm hurt inside for my failure,

00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:45.440
 where can I turn?

00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:46.700
 And he says,

00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:47.960
 turn to me.

00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:50.600
 You can always turn to me.

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.700
 I will never turn away from you.

00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:56.220
 Isn't that a relief?

00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:59.040
 If your ability

00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:01.300
 to turn to Christ

00:09:01.300 --> 00:09:02.800
 depended on how good you've been

00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:03.920
 in the last six days,

00:09:05.019 --> 00:09:06.560
 could you turn to him?

00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:09.519
 I hazard a guess

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:10.480
 that many of us would say,

00:09:10.560 --> 00:09:11.279
 no, I couldn't.

00:09:13.060 --> 00:09:14.480
 This is a psalm that says,

00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:15.700
 you can turn to him

00:09:15.700 --> 00:09:17.500
 because he paid for your sin.

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:19.560
 He's paid for it.

00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.639
 And so,

00:09:22.119 --> 00:09:22.859
 turn to him.

00:09:23.119 --> 00:09:23.919
 Plead to him.

00:09:24.619 --> 00:09:26.279
 Ask him for his help

00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:27.179
 in your adversity.

00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:29.519
 And look at verse 2.

00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:30.179
 Don't you think

00:09:30.179 --> 00:09:31.919
 this is the most beautiful picture?

00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:34.459
 If a child is shy,

00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:37.259
 this is what you do, isn't it?

00:09:37.319 --> 00:09:38.319
 Of an older person

00:09:38.319 --> 00:09:39.839
 can't hear you very well.

00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:41.779
 You incline your ear to them.

00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:42.779
 This is verse 2.

00:09:43.179 --> 00:09:44.059
 You say,

00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:46.019
 tell me again.

00:09:47.139 --> 00:09:48.439
 What did you want to say?

00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:50.779
 And this is a picture

00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:52.799
 of the Lord Jesus Christ himself

00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:54.559
 when you cry out to him

00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:55.119
 saying,

00:09:55.419 --> 00:09:56.739
 what's wrong?

00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:58.539
 Tell me again.

00:09:59.239 --> 00:10:00.699
 What can I do for you?

00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:01.819
 What's the matter?

00:10:02.859 --> 00:10:04.779
 Like a parent loves a child.

00:10:05.699 --> 00:10:07.000
 I want to help you, darling.

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.299
 This is the Christ

00:10:10.299 --> 00:10:11.859
 of the Bible.

00:10:13.219 --> 00:10:15.119
 This is the Lord Jesus Christ

00:10:15.119 --> 00:10:16.559
 that Christians come to worship

00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:17.639
 together on Sundays.

00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:21.460
 He is the God of compassion.

00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:23.399
 The God of comfort.

00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:25.519
 But don't make the mistake

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:26.080
 of thinking

00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:27.379
 he's only there to comfort

00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:29.139
 well-behaved Christians

00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:31.379
 or people who got it

00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:32.860
 perfectly right this week

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:34.340
 because no one would be

00:10:34.340 --> 00:10:35.519
 available for comfort.

00:10:37.179 --> 00:10:38.419
 Which is why Christians

00:10:38.419 --> 00:10:40.100
 gather together to remember

00:10:40.100 --> 00:10:42.500
 that through the death

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:43.080
 and resurrection

00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.039
 of the one who sang this song

00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:46.039
 at Calvary.

00:10:47.139 --> 00:10:48.059
 You and I

00:10:48.059 --> 00:10:49.559
 can flee to him

00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.899
 and say,

00:10:52.179 --> 00:10:52.980
 I love you.

00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:54.259
 You listen to me.

00:10:54.339 --> 00:10:55.419
 You care about me.

00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:56.740
 You listen out for me.

00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:58.799
 And I will call on you.

00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:00.039
 Look at the end of verse 2.

00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:01.620
 As long as I live,

00:11:02.959 --> 00:11:04.559
 there will never be a day

00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:05.539
 when you can't call

00:11:05.539 --> 00:11:06.360
 on Jesus Christ.

00:11:06.579 --> 00:11:06.899
 Never.

00:11:08.259 --> 00:11:09.240
 Not once.

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.899
 In the middle of the night

00:11:11.899 --> 00:11:13.120
 when everybody's asleep.

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:14.899
 Mum and dad are asleep.

00:11:15.340 --> 00:11:16.299
 Or your husband or wife

00:11:16.299 --> 00:11:16.879
 are asleep.

00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:17.460
 Or your,

00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:19.500
 anyone who really loves you

00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:20.360
 is fast asleep

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:21.240
 and you wake up

00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:22.060
 and you don't know

00:11:22.060 --> 00:11:23.000
 what you're going to do.

00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:24.019
 I've got it wrong.

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:25.000
 I'm frightened.

00:11:25.180 --> 00:11:25.720
 I'm scared.

00:11:25.820 --> 00:11:26.700
 What shall I do?

00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:29.240
 Whose year

00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:30.860
 is always there?

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:33.980
 Christ's year

00:11:33.980 --> 00:11:35.740
 is always there.

00:11:35.740 --> 00:11:38.919
 He never turns away.

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.379
 He never rolls his eyes.

00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:41.680
 This is the wonder

00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:42.680
 of being

00:11:42.680 --> 00:11:44.080
 a Christian.

00:11:45.659 --> 00:11:47.000
 At that cross,

00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:48.279
 he paid it all

00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.879
 so that you could always

00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:51.519
 come to him

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.419
 in all your failures.

00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:55.480
 That's why the reformers,

00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:57.240
 the 16th century reformers,

00:11:57.419 --> 00:11:58.799
 when they talked of grace,

00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.340
 the great Thomas Cranmer,

00:12:01.940 --> 00:12:03.039
 the English reformer,

00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:03.620
 he said,

00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:05.000
 you'll never understand grace

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:06.840
 if you don't feel gratitude.

00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:10.519
 The grace of God

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:11.120
 in the death

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:11.679
 and resurrection

00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:12.600
 of Jesus Christ

00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:13.840
 always engenders

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:14.500
 gratitude

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:15.519
 in the human soul.

00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:17.519
 Thank you

00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:18.360
 that you love me.

00:12:18.460 --> 00:12:19.240
 Not just my mum,

00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:20.519
 not just my dad,

00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:21.500
 not just my friend,

00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:22.960
 not just my granddad,

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:24.220
 that you love me.

00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:25.059
 Not just the woman

00:12:25.059 --> 00:12:25.779
 next to me.

00:12:25.940 --> 00:12:26.720
 You love me.

00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:27.299
 Me.

00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:28.860
 Personally, me.

00:12:29.220 --> 00:12:30.259
 That's why you died.

00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:30.879
 That's why he's

00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:31.799
 the Passover lamb.

00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:34.220
 And verses 1 to 2,

00:12:34.220 --> 00:12:35.620
 you'll be glad to know

00:12:35.620 --> 00:12:36.840
 are the overture

00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:38.300
 that runs throughout

00:12:38.300 --> 00:12:39.740
 this psalm.

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:45.420
 What's the problem

00:12:45.420 --> 00:12:46.440
 for Jesus

00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:47.600
 as he goes to the cross?

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:48.399
 What's the problem

00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:49.220
 for the psalmist?

00:12:49.300 --> 00:12:50.040
 Have a look with me

00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:51.480
 at verses 3 and 4.

00:12:52.060 --> 00:12:52.440
 He says,

00:12:52.540 --> 00:12:53.700
 the snares of death

00:12:53.700 --> 00:12:54.740
 encompass me,

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:55.899
 says the psalmist.

00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:56.139
 Well,

00:12:56.340 --> 00:12:57.639
 he's pointing to Christ.

00:12:58.080 --> 00:12:59.019
 They certainly did

00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:00.200
 encompass him that night

00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:01.300
 on the way to Calvary.

00:13:01.299 --> 00:13:03.159
 The pangs of Sheol

00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:03.959
 laid hold of me.

00:13:04.259 --> 00:13:05.219
 I suffered distress

00:13:05.219 --> 00:13:05.859
 and anguish.

00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:06.899
 Then I called on

00:13:06.899 --> 00:13:07.839
 the name of the Lord.

00:13:07.959 --> 00:13:08.379
 Lord,

00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:10.819
 I pray deliver my soul.

00:13:11.539 --> 00:13:12.359
 The picture here,

00:13:12.439 --> 00:13:12.639
 look,

00:13:12.740 --> 00:13:13.240
 snares,

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:14.359
 being trapped

00:13:14.359 --> 00:13:15.099
 like an animal.

00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:17.379
 So let me ask you again,

00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:18.519
 think of times

00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:19.219
 in your life

00:13:19.219 --> 00:13:20.519
 when you feel trapped.

00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:22.919
 The snare has got you.

00:13:23.459 --> 00:13:24.599
 Where shall I turn?

00:13:24.939 --> 00:13:26.240
 Who shall I turn to?

00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:28.320
 And there's another picture

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:29.519
 here in verse 3.

00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:30.639
 As if life is

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:31.879
 closing in on you,

00:13:31.940 --> 00:13:32.419
 you're walking

00:13:32.419 --> 00:13:33.440
 into a dark cave

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:34.700
 and the rocks are gathering

00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:35.700
 and there's no way out

00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:36.759
 and you're trapped.

00:13:37.100 --> 00:13:38.440
 That's what these words mean.

00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:41.379
 And what the Lord Jesus,

00:13:41.560 --> 00:13:42.500
 death and resurrection,

00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:44.039
 of the song he sang

00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:45.379
 that night of the Passover,

00:13:45.779 --> 00:13:47.460
 means for you and I tonight,

00:13:48.299 --> 00:13:49.759
 is that when the snares

00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.019
 of death encompass us,

00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:51.340
 yes,

00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:52.519
 when that day comes,

00:13:53.019 --> 00:13:53.440
 yes,

00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:54.659
 when the end is nigh,

00:13:54.659 --> 00:13:57.360
 no death

00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:58.679
 will crush us

00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.419
 for eternal life

00:14:01.419 --> 00:14:02.039
 is ours.

00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.399
 My life will not end

00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.639
 when I take my last breath

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:09.219
 in this world

00:14:09.219 --> 00:14:10.459
 because my Lord Jesus

00:14:10.459 --> 00:14:11.319
 beat death

00:14:11.319 --> 00:14:13.620
 and it will not crush me.

00:14:15.219 --> 00:14:16.480
 There is a root

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.360
 through the cave.

00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:24.740
 These images are graphic.

00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:25.379
 Ropes,

00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:25.879
 a net,

00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:26.539
 a trap,

00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:27.419
 a burial.

00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:30.180
 And the creator

00:14:30.180 --> 00:14:31.320
 of the universe says,

00:14:31.700 --> 00:14:32.800
 I'm going to go

00:14:32.800 --> 00:14:33.620
 through that

00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:35.759
 so that you,

00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:37.259
 when you go through it,

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:38.200
 will know that

00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:38.980
 I beat death

00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:41.000
 and my darling,

00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:41.700
 you are mine

00:14:41.700 --> 00:14:44.000
 and I'm taking you

00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:44.580
 through as well.

00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:47.440
 I love you.

00:14:48.560 --> 00:14:48.860
 You see,

00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:49.820
 the refrain is verses

00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:50.360
 one and two,

00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:51.420
 the chorus is verses

00:14:51.420 --> 00:14:51.980
 one and two.

00:14:52.180 --> 00:14:53.060
 I love you.

00:14:53.280 --> 00:14:54.420
 I'm listening for you.

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:56.020
 I've got my ear out for you.

00:14:56.280 --> 00:14:57.000
 Talk to me.

00:14:57.280 --> 00:14:58.060
 Talk to me.

00:14:58.460 --> 00:14:59.340
 Throw all your weight

00:14:59.340 --> 00:14:59.720
 on me.

00:15:00.400 --> 00:15:01.520
 I've crushed the door

00:15:01.520 --> 00:15:02.280
 down for you.

00:15:03.020 --> 00:15:04.000
 I am your Lord

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:04.580
 and Savior.

00:15:05.020 --> 00:15:06.580
 It's a beautiful psalm.

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:08.520
 Beautiful.

00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:10.780
 Who is this Lord

00:15:10.780 --> 00:15:11.620
 Jesus Christ?

00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:12.660
 Look at verse five.

00:15:12.659 --> 00:15:14.079
 Look at these wonderful

00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:14.939
 characteristics.

00:15:15.579 --> 00:15:16.639
 He's gracious.

00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:18.379
 Gracious is the Lord

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:19.939
 and righteous.

00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:21.839
 How could God

00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:22.839
 forgive Israel

00:15:22.839 --> 00:15:23.740
 in the old covenant?

00:15:24.939 --> 00:15:25.899
 Because he made

00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:27.039
 a covenant with them

00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.019
 and he said,

00:15:29.819 --> 00:15:32.620
 I am your covenant God.

00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:34.459
 And at Passover,

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:35.459
 they celebrated

00:15:35.459 --> 00:15:37.339
 that the righteous God

00:15:37.339 --> 00:15:40.639
 put the punishment

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.459
 on the Passover lamb.

00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:45.199
 That's what the righteous God

00:15:45.199 --> 00:15:47.179
 did in the Egyptian Passover.

00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:51.039
 But he's a gracious God

00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:52.240
 because the punishment

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:53.439
 goes on the lamb

00:15:53.439 --> 00:15:54.959
 to liberate the people

00:15:54.959 --> 00:15:55.740
 from their sin

00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:57.259
 so they can walk free

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:58.339
 to the promised land.

00:15:58.659 --> 00:15:59.500
 And at Calvary,

00:15:59.939 --> 00:16:00.839
 as we look back

00:16:00.839 --> 00:16:01.639
 through this psalm

00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:02.659
 that Jesus sung,

00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:04.039
 he knew he was singing

00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:04.980
 in verse five

00:16:04.980 --> 00:16:07.740
 that the righteous God

00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:09.459
 wouldn't kill a lamb

00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:10.639
 but would kill

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.379
 his own son.

00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:14.420
 And the kind

00:16:14.420 --> 00:16:15.420
 and gracious God

00:16:15.420 --> 00:16:16.300
 would rescue you

00:16:16.300 --> 00:16:16.639
 and me

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:17.519
 because our price

00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:18.680
 was paid at Calvary.

00:16:19.040 --> 00:16:19.740
 And the price

00:16:19.740 --> 00:16:20.560
 for your rebellion

00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:21.040
 and mine

00:16:21.040 --> 00:16:22.040
 is paid at that cross.

00:16:22.280 --> 00:16:23.580
 And because it's paid,

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:25.240
 I am free.

00:16:26.580 --> 00:16:28.379
 There is no condemnation

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:29.060
 for those who are

00:16:29.060 --> 00:16:29.920
 in Christ Jesus.

00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.419
 and Christ knew this

00:16:32.419 --> 00:16:33.459
 as he went to the cross.

00:16:34.459 --> 00:16:35.579
 And you and I

00:16:35.579 --> 00:16:36.899
 sit in this room tonight

00:16:36.899 --> 00:16:38.620
 as the recipients

00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:41.679
 of the price paid

00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:42.299
 at Calvary

00:16:42.299 --> 00:16:42.979
 for the righteousness

00:16:42.979 --> 00:16:43.679
 of God

00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.339
 and for the compassion

00:16:46.339 --> 00:16:46.899
 of Christ

00:16:46.899 --> 00:16:47.739
 that saves us.

00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:50.459
 How could somebody

00:16:50.459 --> 00:16:51.539
 not be a Christian?

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:52.739
 It's mad

00:16:52.739 --> 00:16:54.179
 not to have this hope.

00:16:56.979 --> 00:16:57.779
 When life

00:16:57.779 --> 00:16:59.000
 kicks you in the teeth,

00:17:00.439 --> 00:17:01.939
 we die once

00:17:01.939 --> 00:17:02.579
 and for all

00:17:02.579 --> 00:17:03.199
 in the end

00:17:03.199 --> 00:17:04.539
 until we go to heaven.

00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:06.460
 Everybody does it.

00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.399
 It's 100% success rate

00:17:08.399 --> 00:17:09.519
 at this stage.

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:10.659
 Mortality.

00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:12.440
 But you know

00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:13.440
 we suffer death

00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:14.500
 by a thousand cuts

00:17:14.500 --> 00:17:15.440
 don't we every year?

00:17:16.019 --> 00:17:17.160
 The pain of rejection,

00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:18.259
 an argument,

00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:18.980
 a fight,

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:19.860
 a failure,

00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:21.039
 a getting it wrong,

00:17:21.320 --> 00:17:21.820
 a fear

00:17:21.820 --> 00:17:23.160
 of what's coming tomorrow.

00:17:23.580 --> 00:17:24.960
 Death by a thousand cuts

00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:25.840
 and we're asked

00:17:25.840 --> 00:17:26.539
 in this psalm

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:27.980
 to run to Christ

00:17:27.980 --> 00:17:29.180
 and say

00:17:29.180 --> 00:17:30.140
 you felt it all,

00:17:30.360 --> 00:17:30.640
 Saviour.

00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:31.640
 You felt it all.

00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:32.799
 I'll come to you.

00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:33.920
 You went through it

00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.860
 and you understand me

00:17:35.860 --> 00:17:37.600
 and you're my Lord

00:17:37.600 --> 00:17:38.940
 and I'm running to you.

00:17:39.460 --> 00:17:40.279
 Help me.

00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:42.559
 And there he is

00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:43.139
 like this.

00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:44.720
 Come here,

00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:45.019
 lovely.

00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:45.579
 Come here.

00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:47.960
 Come to me.

00:17:49.399 --> 00:17:50.559
 I love you,

00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:51.359
 he says.

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:52.759
 That's how the line starts,

00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:53.180
 doesn't it?

00:17:53.639 --> 00:17:54.539
 I love you,

00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:54.879
 Lord.

00:17:58.339 --> 00:17:59.720
 And in 6 to 11,

00:17:59.879 --> 00:18:00.579
 you could say them

00:18:00.579 --> 00:18:01.299
 for yourself

00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:02.879
 when the adversity comes

00:18:02.879 --> 00:18:04.259
 because they're words

00:18:04.259 --> 00:18:04.980
 for the believer

00:18:04.980 --> 00:18:05.700
 in Christ.

00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:07.059
 Let me read them.

00:18:07.339 --> 00:18:08.399
 The Lord preserves

00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:09.180
 the simple.

00:18:09.580 --> 00:18:10.259
 I don't think

00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:10.780
 that means

00:18:10.780 --> 00:18:11.420
 the stupid.

00:18:12.560 --> 00:18:12.840
 You know,

00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:14.160
 sometimes where I come from

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:15.000
 we say simple

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:15.960
 means a bit dim.

00:18:16.800 --> 00:18:17.600
 I don't think

00:18:17.600 --> 00:18:18.540
 it means that.

00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:19.380
 Well,

00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:20.240
 I know it doesn't.

00:18:20.320 --> 00:18:21.180
 Here's what it means.

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:22.280
 It means those

00:18:22.280 --> 00:18:23.200
 who don't pretend

00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:24.000
 to be cleverer

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:24.580
 than they are.

00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:25.800
 It means the woman

00:18:25.800 --> 00:18:26.759
 and man in this room

00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:27.720
 tonight who says,

00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:28.440
 well,

00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:28.960
 I'm not sure

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:30.180
 I can follow your accent

00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:31.300
 as a Welsh bloc

00:18:31.300 --> 00:18:33.019
 here in the Highlands,

00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:34.680
 but I get the general

00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:35.980
 drift of the talk.

00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:38.720
 This psalm

00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:40.160
 was the psalm sung

00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:41.700
 on the night

00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:43.180
 of the Passover festival.

00:18:43.460 --> 00:18:44.120
 The one who was

00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:45.160
 the Passover lamb

00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:46.539
 sung it.

00:18:47.360 --> 00:18:48.240
 And he sung it

00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:48.579
 knowing

00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:50.200
 that he would die

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:50.819
 for me.

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:52.380
 And he sung it

00:18:52.380 --> 00:18:53.360
 knowing that he would

00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:54.480
 break the cords of death

00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:55.380
 for eternal life

00:18:55.380 --> 00:18:55.960
 for me.

00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:57.460
 And he sung it

00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:58.460
 knowing that one day

00:18:58.460 --> 00:19:00.079
 on a Sunday evening

00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:01.680
 in Stornoway,

00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:03.620
 a few people

00:19:03.620 --> 00:19:04.680
 would gather together

00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:06.779
 to try and make sense

00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:07.380
 of their lives

00:19:07.380 --> 00:19:08.640
 last week and next week

00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:09.080
 and say,

00:19:09.360 --> 00:19:09.799
 Lord,

00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:10.920
 are you with me?

00:19:11.140 --> 00:19:11.840
 And he says,

00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:12.299
 dear,

00:19:12.420 --> 00:19:13.539
 I'm with you always.

00:19:15.140 --> 00:19:16.420
 I went through

00:19:16.420 --> 00:19:17.500
 Calvary for you.

00:19:18.299 --> 00:19:19.060
 Do you think

00:19:19.060 --> 00:19:20.340
 I'd leave you this week?

00:19:21.560 --> 00:19:23.160
 Whatever you do wrong,

00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:25.480
 not a chance.

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:27.240
 Not a chance,

00:19:27.320 --> 00:19:27.900
 he says.

00:19:30.360 --> 00:19:31.740
 The Lord preserves

00:19:31.740 --> 00:19:32.440
 the simple.

00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.100
 When I was brought low,

00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:35.460
 could you say this

00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:36.039
 this week?

00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:37.440
 Can you look back

00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:38.059
 this month?

00:19:38.259 --> 00:19:39.460
 When I was brought low,

00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:40.580
 he saved me.

00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:42.220
 Return my soul

00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:42.940
 to your rest,

00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:43.900
 for the Lord

00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:44.880
 has dealt bountifully

00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:45.420
 with me.

00:19:45.779 --> 00:19:46.539
 For you have delivered

00:19:46.539 --> 00:19:47.580
 my soul from death,

00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:49.279
 my eyes from tears,

00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:51.000
 my feet from stumbling.

00:19:51.220 --> 00:19:51.960
 I will walk

00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:52.799
 before the Lord

00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:53.779
 in the land

00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:54.380
 of the living.

00:19:55.080 --> 00:19:55.880
 I believed

00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:56.920
 even when I spoke

00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:58.600
 I am greatly afflicted.

00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:01.059
 I said in my alarm,

00:20:01.179 --> 00:20:01.779
 all mankind

00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:02.740
 are liars.

00:20:04.419 --> 00:20:05.179
 My friend,

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:06.179
 if you feel afflicted

00:20:06.179 --> 00:20:06.699
 this week,

00:20:07.439 --> 00:20:08.939
 if your soul

00:20:08.939 --> 00:20:09.779
 is disturbed,

00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.839
 if you feel

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:12.500
 human beings

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:13.259
 have let you down,

00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:13.959
 look at 11

00:20:13.959 --> 00:20:15.139
 liars.

00:20:15.899 --> 00:20:16.719
 If you feel

00:20:16.719 --> 00:20:17.299
 betrayed,

00:20:18.299 --> 00:20:20.639
 it doesn't mean

00:20:20.639 --> 00:20:21.319
 that the Christian

00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:22.199
 doesn't weep.

00:20:22.459 --> 00:20:23.259
 It doesn't mean

00:20:23.259 --> 00:20:23.939
 that the Christian

00:20:23.939 --> 00:20:25.039
 isn't in anguish.

00:20:25.379 --> 00:20:26.000
 Of course,

00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:27.000
 it can't mean that

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.420
 because it's the human condition.

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:30.000
 But it does mean this.

00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:31.720
 The one who went

00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:32.480
 before us,

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:33.500
 the perfect one,

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:34.480
 the one who paid

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:35.720
 the penalty at Calvary,

00:20:35.819 --> 00:20:36.779
 the one who beat death,

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:37.619
 he,

00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:39.819
 he knows how you feel.

00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:42.519
 And he's right with you.

00:20:43.259 --> 00:20:44.900
 He is never going away.

00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:47.920
 He is never going to stop

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:49.900
 putting his arms around you

00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:50.240
 and saying,

00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:50.900
 I'm here.

00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:55.019
 That's what we're meant

00:20:55.019 --> 00:20:55.740
 to understand

00:20:55.740 --> 00:20:56.900
 in this psalm.

00:20:57.940 --> 00:20:58.880
 The greatest need

00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:00.140
 of being a human being

00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:01.980
 is met in Christ.

00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:03.680
 The greatest hope

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:05.180
 for meaning this week

00:21:05.180 --> 00:21:06.079
 and comfort

00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:07.319
 and deep joy

00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:08.539
 in all circumstances

00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:10.279
 is to know Christ

00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:11.299
 is your Saviour

00:21:11.299 --> 00:21:12.240
 and Lord.

00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:14.220
 We see him

00:21:14.220 --> 00:21:14.660
 as the one

00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:15.599
 who rescues us

00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:16.140
 ultimately

00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:17.420
 from the cords of death

00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:18.819
 and this week

00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:19.660
 from death

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:21.059
 by 20 cuts

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:22.180
 which hurt us

00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:22.799
 on the way

00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:23.400
 through the week.

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.940
 and finally

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:29.040
 with that in mind

00:21:29.040 --> 00:21:30.320
 let's look at the last

00:21:30.320 --> 00:21:30.920
 few lines

00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:32.160
 from 12 to the end.

00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:38.540
 if what I've said

00:21:38.540 --> 00:21:40.019
 and my interpretation

00:21:40.019 --> 00:21:41.019
 of the psalm for you

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:41.460
 this evening

00:21:41.460 --> 00:21:42.200
 is true

00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:43.660
 what do you think

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:44.840
 for the psalmist

00:21:44.840 --> 00:21:45.980
 what do you think

00:21:45.980 --> 00:21:47.900
 the obvious question is?

00:21:47.900 --> 00:21:50.220
 surely it's question

00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:51.180
 in verse 12

00:21:51.180 --> 00:21:52.660
 what shall I render

00:21:52.660 --> 00:21:53.320
 to the Lord

00:21:53.320 --> 00:21:54.440
 for all his benefits

00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:54.980
 to me?

00:21:55.780 --> 00:21:56.100
 Lord

00:21:56.100 --> 00:21:58.420
 if you love me

00:21:58.420 --> 00:21:59.120
 this much

00:21:59.120 --> 00:22:01.140
 if you love me

00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:02.200
 and you know

00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:03.140
 what I've been up to

00:22:03.140 --> 00:22:05.100
 and you know

00:22:05.100 --> 00:22:05.920
 things that my mum

00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:06.720
 and dad don't know

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:07.980
 my husband or wife

00:22:07.980 --> 00:22:08.519
 may not know

00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:09.280
 you know what's

00:22:09.280 --> 00:22:10.120
 in my head

00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:12.319
 if you died

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:12.939
 for me

00:22:12.939 --> 00:22:15.000
 and you will

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.259
 never leave me

00:22:16.259 --> 00:22:17.139
 because the covenant

00:22:17.139 --> 00:22:18.759
 is met in your blood

00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.099
 and I can come

00:22:21.099 --> 00:22:22.279
 to you any time

00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:23.879
 even in my failure

00:22:23.879 --> 00:22:25.599
 and anguish

00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.279
 at life

00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:27.179
 Lord

00:22:27.179 --> 00:22:28.459
 what shall I do

00:22:28.459 --> 00:22:29.039
 for you?

00:22:30.139 --> 00:22:31.619
 if somebody loves you

00:22:31.619 --> 00:22:32.139
 this much

00:22:32.139 --> 00:22:32.859
 humanly

00:22:32.859 --> 00:22:33.939
 you'd say

00:22:33.939 --> 00:22:34.839
 what can I do

00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:35.619
 to give it back

00:22:35.619 --> 00:22:36.099
 to you?

00:22:36.899 --> 00:22:37.399
 now

00:22:37.399 --> 00:22:38.779
 here's the brilliant

00:22:38.779 --> 00:22:40.220
 climax of this psalm

00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:41.220
 it's the brilliant

00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:42.920
 climax of the Christian life

00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:44.460
 what can you do?

00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:47.859
 here's what you can do

00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:49.019
 verse 13

00:22:49.019 --> 00:22:50.700
 I will lift up

00:22:50.700 --> 00:22:51.920
 the cup of salvation

00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:53.480
 and call on the name

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:54.200
 of the Lord

00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:55.680
 what?

00:22:57.420 --> 00:22:57.980
 oh

00:22:57.980 --> 00:23:00.079
 here's what I do

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.079
 I go to God

00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:02.779
 and I say

00:23:02.779 --> 00:23:03.240
 hey

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:04.779
 you saved me

00:23:04.779 --> 00:23:05.279
 didn't you?

00:23:06.859 --> 00:23:07.879
 you love me

00:23:07.879 --> 00:23:08.440
 don't you?

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:10.599
 well I'm going to

00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:11.420
 call on your name

00:23:11.420 --> 00:23:11.980
 and I'm going to

00:23:11.980 --> 00:23:12.859
 ask for your help

00:23:12.859 --> 00:23:13.539
 this week

00:23:13.539 --> 00:23:15.639
 is that the response

00:23:15.639 --> 00:23:16.420
 that he wants?

00:23:17.399 --> 00:23:17.779
 surely

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:18.799
 he wants us to

00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:19.579
 try harder

00:23:19.579 --> 00:23:20.460
 be better

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:23.019
 keep more rules

00:23:23.019 --> 00:23:24.220
 and he said

00:23:24.220 --> 00:23:24.660
 no

00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:25.399
 no

00:23:25.399 --> 00:23:26.740
 don't be soft

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:28.379
 here's what I want

00:23:28.379 --> 00:23:28.960
 you to do

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.480
 keep coming to me

00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:30.879
 and saying

00:23:30.879 --> 00:23:31.920
 Lord I can't keep it up

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:32.720
 can you help me?

00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:35.420
 I'll never succeed

00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:36.460
 by my own efforts

00:23:36.460 --> 00:23:37.579
 will you help me?

00:23:38.779 --> 00:23:39.460
 he loves

00:23:39.460 --> 00:23:40.180
 nothing more

00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:40.680
 than for one

00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:41.359
 of his children

00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:42.420
 to come to him

00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:42.920
 and say

00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:44.559
 I can't do this

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:46.420
 but you can

00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:48.180
 please help

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:49.500
 we lift up

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:50.480
 the cup of salvation

00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:51.399
 do you see what we do?

00:23:51.539 --> 00:23:52.379
 we don't do anything

00:23:52.379 --> 00:23:54.960
 we just ask for more help

00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:57.319
 oh my gosh

00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:58.700
 fancy the chance

00:23:58.700 --> 00:23:59.279
 of going into

00:23:59.279 --> 00:23:59.960
 a new week

00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:00.399
 and saying

00:24:00.399 --> 00:24:01.759
 keep helping me

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:02.460
 Lord please

00:24:02.460 --> 00:24:03.779
 keep helping me

00:24:03.779 --> 00:24:05.240
 I can't do it

00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:08.259
 and he loves it

00:24:08.259 --> 00:24:10.539
 he's waiting

00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:11.460
 for you to ask

00:24:11.460 --> 00:24:15.379
 there's not 15 things

00:24:15.379 --> 00:24:16.220
 he wants you to fix

00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:18.680
 it's a posture

00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:19.200
 that says

00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:19.740
 help me

00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:21.779
 help me more

00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:22.599
 than ever before

00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:23.200
 and you see

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:24.259
 that unfolds

00:24:24.259 --> 00:24:25.200
 for the rest

00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:26.339
 of the passage

00:24:26.339 --> 00:24:28.459
 how do you pay

00:24:28.459 --> 00:24:29.000
 your vows

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:29.519
 to the Lord

00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:30.459
 verse 14

00:24:30.459 --> 00:24:31.619
 and repeat it

00:24:31.619 --> 00:24:32.500
 in verse 18

00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:34.199
 well this is how

00:24:34.199 --> 00:24:34.959
 you do it

00:24:34.959 --> 00:24:35.859
 verse 16

00:24:35.859 --> 00:24:36.199
 you say

00:24:36.199 --> 00:24:36.419
 Lord

00:24:36.419 --> 00:24:37.779
 I'm your servant

00:24:37.779 --> 00:24:39.059
 I'm your servant

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:39.480
 you've

00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:40.720
 you've loosed

00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:41.419
 my bonds

00:24:41.419 --> 00:24:41.879
 do you see it

00:24:41.879 --> 00:24:42.399
 in 16

00:24:42.399 --> 00:24:44.399
 how do we go

00:24:44.399 --> 00:24:44.959
 to the Lord

00:24:44.959 --> 00:24:45.579
 for help

00:24:45.579 --> 00:24:46.819
 we say

00:24:46.819 --> 00:24:47.199
 Lord

00:24:47.199 --> 00:24:47.799
 you took my

00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:48.480
 chains off

00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:49.879
 you set my

00:24:49.879 --> 00:24:50.519
 heart free

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:51.579
 you gave me

00:24:51.579 --> 00:24:52.259
 a new life

00:24:52.259 --> 00:24:52.879
 in Christ

00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:55.260
 what shall I do

00:24:55.260 --> 00:24:55.760
 for you

00:24:55.760 --> 00:24:56.520
 oh it's easy

00:24:56.520 --> 00:24:57.380
 I come back to you

00:24:57.380 --> 00:24:57.980
 and thank you

00:24:57.980 --> 00:24:58.620
 for cutting my

00:24:58.620 --> 00:24:59.260
 chains loose

00:24:59.260 --> 00:25:01.800
 and I ask you

00:25:01.800 --> 00:25:02.440
 to help me

00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:02.940
 I lift up

00:25:02.940 --> 00:25:03.460
 the cup of

00:25:03.460 --> 00:25:04.000
 salvation

00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:04.700
 Lord

00:25:04.700 --> 00:25:05.160
 you took the

00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:05.740
 chains off

00:25:05.740 --> 00:25:07.020
 keep freeing me

00:25:07.020 --> 00:25:07.660
 up please

00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:08.740
 I can't do it

00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:09.320
 without you

00:25:09.320 --> 00:25:10.960
 this is the

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:11.820
 response of the

00:25:11.820 --> 00:25:12.260
 Christian

00:25:12.260 --> 00:25:14.480
 no vanity

00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:15.800
 no hubris

00:25:15.800 --> 00:25:17.020
 no arrogance

00:25:17.020 --> 00:25:18.940
 no self-sufficiency

00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:20.520
 complete dependency

00:25:20.520 --> 00:25:21.340
 on the saviour

00:25:21.339 --> 00:25:23.000
 who's listening

00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:24.059
 and loving

00:25:24.059 --> 00:25:25.459
 and yearning

00:25:25.459 --> 00:25:26.959
 to be your

00:25:26.959 --> 00:25:27.740
 greatest ally

00:25:27.740 --> 00:25:28.279
 and friend

00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:28.779
 in all your

00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:29.599
 adversities this

00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:29.919
 week

00:25:29.919 --> 00:25:32.639
 I put it to you

00:25:32.639 --> 00:25:33.119
 that Christians

00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:33.959
 come to church

00:25:33.959 --> 00:25:35.619
 to keep reminding

00:25:35.619 --> 00:25:36.179
 themselves

00:25:36.179 --> 00:25:38.459
 that this is

00:25:38.459 --> 00:25:38.899
 life

00:25:38.899 --> 00:25:41.359
 Satan himself

00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:42.079
 will keep saying

00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:42.339
 to you

00:25:42.339 --> 00:25:42.879
 you're not good

00:25:42.879 --> 00:25:43.240
 enough

00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:44.319
 hopeless

00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:44.939
 rubbish

00:25:44.939 --> 00:25:45.500
 Christian

00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:46.299
 nowhere near

00:25:46.299 --> 00:25:46.759
 as good as

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.319
 him or her

00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:48.119
 you're a

00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:48.439
 disgrace

00:25:48.439 --> 00:25:49.119
 you shouldn't

00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:49.679
 be here next

00:25:49.679 --> 00:25:49.959
 week

00:25:49.959 --> 00:25:50.599
 give yourself

00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:51.139
 a couple of

00:25:51.139 --> 00:25:51.319
 weeks

00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:51.980
 sort yourself

00:25:51.980 --> 00:25:52.319
 out

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:52.899
 and then

00:25:52.899 --> 00:25:53.299
 you might

00:25:53.299 --> 00:25:53.779
 get a year

00:25:53.779 --> 00:25:54.159
 ring from

00:25:54.159 --> 00:25:54.500
 God

00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:56.599
 the lie

00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:57.059
 of hell

00:25:57.059 --> 00:25:58.519
 it's the

00:25:58.519 --> 00:25:59.240
 lie of hell

00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:01.439
 your saviour

00:26:01.439 --> 00:26:02.259
 wants you to

00:26:02.259 --> 00:26:02.699
 come to him

00:26:02.699 --> 00:26:03.459
 at all times

00:26:03.459 --> 00:26:04.439
 whatever's going

00:26:04.439 --> 00:26:04.819
 on

00:26:04.819 --> 00:26:07.019
 because his

00:26:07.019 --> 00:26:07.819
 love saved

00:26:07.819 --> 00:26:08.480
 you and will

00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:08.959
 continue

00:26:08.959 --> 00:26:10.740
 to give you

00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:11.199
 hope

00:26:11.199 --> 00:26:12.639
 lift up the

00:26:12.639 --> 00:26:13.480
 cup of salvation

00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:14.139
 and say come

00:26:14.139 --> 00:26:14.659

 it's the

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:37.140
 same thing

00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:37.480
 for the

00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:38.060
 third time

00:26:38.060 --> 00:26:38.500
 it's going

00:26:38.500 --> 00:26:38.940
 to God

 do anything

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:45.180
 I'm not

00:26:45.180 --> 00:26:45.799

 I'm too

00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:47.579
 prone

00:26:47.579 --> 00:26:48.240
 to failure

00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:49.599
 but I know

 my kids

 properly

00:26:56.659 --> 00:26:57.480

00:26:58.919 --> 00:26:59.539
 give me

00:26:59.539 --> 00:27:00.059
 the best

00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:00.559
 chance

00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:01.399
 when no one's

00:27:01.399 --> 00:27:02.099
 watching me

00:27:02.099 --> 00:27:02.859
 to behave

00:27:02.859 --> 00:27:03.440
 in ways

00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:04.240
 that bring

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:04.899
 me joy

00:27:04.899 --> 00:27:05.379
 because I

00:27:05.379 --> 00:27:05.700
 know you

00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:06.159
 want them

00:27:06.159 --> 00:27:06.940
 but Lord

00:27:06.940 --> 00:27:07.919
 I'm lifting

00:27:07.919 --> 00:27:08.659
 myself up

00:27:08.659 --> 00:27:08.980
 to you

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:09.819

00:27:10.159 --> 00:27:10.799
 I can't

00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:11.480
 do it

00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:12.319
 without you

00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:12.819
 so I

00:27:12.819 --> 00:27:13.579
 give myself

00:27:13.579 --> 00:27:14.119
 to you

00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:15.819
 this is how

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:16.319
 we thank

00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:16.639
 him

00:27:16.639 --> 00:27:18.519
 the total

00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:19.299
 absence

00:27:19.299 --> 00:27:20.599
 of vanity

00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:21.619
 and arrogance

00:27:21.619 --> 00:27:22.399
 that I can

00:27:22.399 --> 00:27:22.740
 make it

00:27:22.740 --> 00:27:23.059
 happen

00:27:23.059 --> 00:27:24.339
 and the

00:27:24.339 --> 00:27:24.759
 total

00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:25.180
 willingness

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:25.740
 for him

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:27.000
 in his

00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:27.799
 marvellous

00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:28.159
 love

00:27:28.159 --> 00:27:28.779
 in a way

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:29.039
 that he

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.480
 knows me

00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:30.079
 that no one

00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:30.539
 in the world

00:27:30.539 --> 00:27:31.139
 knows me

00:27:31.139 --> 00:27:32.000
 to work

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:32.440
 with me

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.139
 and to

00:27:33.139 --> 00:27:33.539
 change

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:33.779
 me

00:27:33.779 --> 00:27:35.839
 this is

00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:36.419
 what Jesus

00:27:36.419 --> 00:27:36.919
 Christ

00:27:36.919 --> 00:27:37.500
 achieved

00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:38.319
 at Calvary

00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:39.059
 this is

00:27:39.059 --> 00:27:39.339
 what he

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:39.680
 will do

00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:40.259
 this week

00:27:40.259 --> 00:27:40.660
 by his

00:27:40.660 --> 00:27:40.920
 spirit

00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:41.319
 in my

00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:41.660
 life

00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:42.119
 and yours

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:43.379
 and this

00:27:43.379 --> 00:27:44.819
 is what

00:27:44.819 --> 00:27:45.480
 he knew

00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:46.039
 he would

00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:46.619
 achieve

00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:47.640
 on the

00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:48.200
 night

00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:49.099
 before

00:27:49.099 --> 00:27:49.779
 going to

00:27:49.779 --> 00:27:50.319
 the cross

00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:51.000
 as he

00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:51.460
 sang this

00:27:51.460 --> 00:27:51.779
 song

00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:52.460
 so that

00:27:52.460 --> 00:27:52.759
 we could

00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:53.099
 sing it

00:27:53.099 --> 00:27:53.379
 today

00:27:53.379 --> 00:27:55.460

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:55.799
 we sing

00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:56.400
 the psalm

00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:56.879
 today

00:27:56.879 --> 00:28:00.500

00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:00.380


00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:00.380


00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:00.380


00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:00.380


00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:00.380


00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:04.220
 And full of grace

00:32:04.220 --> 00:32:11.160
 Both righteous and compassionate

00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:17.860
 The Lord protects

00:32:17.860 --> 00:32:23.180
 All those of childlike faith

00:32:23.180 --> 00:32:28.000
 When I wasn't with me

00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:33.000
 He rescued me

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:37.440
 Restore my soul

00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:42.940
 God has been good to you

00:32:42.940 --> 00:32:47.019
 For you, O Lord

00:32:47.019 --> 00:32:52.680
 Have saved my soul from death

00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:57.180
 My feet from stumbling

00:32:57.180 --> 00:33:02.180
 And my eyes from tears

00:33:02.180 --> 00:33:06.940
 Last I made it for you

00:33:06.940 --> 00:33:12.180
 While I have breathed

00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:16.220
 Let's close in prayer

00:33:16.220 --> 00:33:16.720
 Let's pray

00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:19.220
 Lord, our gracious God

00:33:19.220 --> 00:33:21.680
 We do thank you for every way that you

00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:23.400
 Listen to our cries

00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:24.860
 And that we will be able to say

00:33:24.860 --> 00:33:27.340
 I knew this evening I love the Lord

00:33:27.340 --> 00:33:29.180
 Because he has heard my voice

00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:32.200
 And may we be able to go away from here

00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:35.160
 With that sense of praise to you

00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.620
 That you remember us in all our needs

00:33:37.620 --> 00:33:38.960
 And that you will remember us

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:40.600
 Even in this week ahead

00:33:40.600 --> 00:33:42.720
 As we put our trust in you

00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.600
 So may you guide us then by your spirit

00:33:45.600 --> 00:33:47.940
 We ask your blessing now on us

00:33:47.940 --> 00:33:50.500
 That grace, mercy and peace

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:53.500
 From God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit

00:33:53.500 --> 00:33:56.720
 May rest upon and abide with us all

00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:58.319
 Now and forevermore

00:33:58.319 --> 00:33:59.339
 Amen

00:33:59.339 --> 00:33:59.960
 Amen

00:34:23.500 --> 00:34:30.380
 Amen

00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.380


00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.380


00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.380


00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.380


00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.380


00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.380


00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.380


00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.380


00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.380
