Welcome to the good Christian
talks podcast.

2
00:00:15,300 –> 00:00:18,100
I’m Levi and I’m Chris.
Thank you so much for joining us

00:00:18,100 –> 00:00:22,800

each one of us get the Bible in
our daily news feed.

5
00:00:27,500 –> 00:00:29,600
We post at the start of each
week for you to listen.

6
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:32,500
With a short intro before hand
to kind of set the stage for the

7
00:00:32,500 –> 00:00:34,300
talk.
You’re about to hear and now

8
00:00:34,300 –> 00:00:35,800
let’s hear more about this
week’s talk.

9
00:00:43,900 –> 00:00:46,600
For our talk this week.
We’re taking a class that was

10
00:00:46,600 –> 00:00:51,200
given at the Mount Waverley
study day earlier this year that

11
00:00:51,200 –> 00:00:54,400
is given by Brother Andrew
Larson on the topic of praise

12
00:00:54,400 –> 00:00:59,100
and worship and brother Andrew
spends the the better part of

13
00:00:59,100 –> 00:01:05,099
this class looking at What it
means to praise both in the Old

14
00:01:05,099 –> 00:01:08,500
Testament and then also as you
move forward into the new

15
00:01:09,000 –> 00:01:12,300
looking at what the words praise
and worship mean and how that

16
00:01:12,300 –> 00:01:16,700
was done in biblical times.
But then also he then takes some

17
00:01:16,700 –> 00:01:21,100
time looking at how we if you
know Lord willing were able to

18
00:01:21,107 –> 00:01:26,200
be in the Kingdom how praise and
worship is going to be performed

19
00:01:26,200 –> 00:01:29,300
in the Kingdom age and he spends
a little bit of time taking a

20
00:01:29,308 –> 00:01:32,500
look at that which I thought was
a an interesting perspective on

21
00:01:32,500 –> 00:01:33,900
prey.
Worship not that long ago.

22
00:01:33,900 –> 00:01:38,000
We had a study weekend out here
at see me that was talking about

23
00:01:38,800 –> 00:01:42,200
praise and worship and was
focused more on the concept of

24
00:01:42,200 –> 00:01:45,600
singing praises and music and
how you give glory to God and

25
00:01:45,600 –> 00:01:49,400
praise His name through that.
But what brother Andrew is doing

26
00:01:49,400 –> 00:01:55,400
in his class here is he is
instead looking at how we go

27
00:01:55,400 –> 00:01:59,200
about praising God in our
day-to-day activities.

28
00:01:59,700 –> 00:02:02,600
I really enjoyed this this class
by Andrew.

29
00:02:02,700 –> 00:02:08,400
You just because he gave some
simple ways to help get yourself

30
00:02:08,400 –> 00:02:11,100
out of sometimes the the funk
that you can see yourself in.

31
00:02:11,800 –> 00:02:14,500
I know I’ve run into it before
where you seem to be.

32
00:02:14,800 –> 00:02:17,200
You can almost seem to be too
focused on all the things that

33
00:02:17,200 –> 00:02:19,800
are going wrong or the things
that you’re trying to trying to

34
00:02:19,800 –> 00:02:23,400
figure out and you know work on
things with their problems

35
00:02:23,700 –> 00:02:27,900
instead, you know, he gives a
really good point and kind of

36
00:02:27,900 –> 00:02:29,900
near the end when he’s getting
into more of like the lessons to

37
00:02:29,900 –> 00:02:32,600
be taken out of the different
types of praise and worship.

38
00:02:32,800 –> 00:02:35,700
That he pulls out in his study
to look at it from the

39
00:02:35,700 –> 00:02:39,200
perspective of think about all
the little things that God has

40
00:02:39,200 –> 00:02:41,700
done for you in your life one
step at a time.

41
00:02:41,900 –> 00:02:45,300
And by the time you finish
looking through that if you’re

42
00:02:45,300 –> 00:02:48,500
even able to get to the end of
that list, it will help you get

43
00:02:48,500 –> 00:02:53,000
into the right frame of mind to
be able to truly give praise and

44
00:02:53,000 –> 00:02:56,700
worship to God for all the
little things that he’s done

45
00:02:57,200 –> 00:03:02,300
going from the simple matter of
creating life on Earth to really

46
00:03:02,300 –> 00:03:05,800
simple Matter but creating life
on Earth all the way to the

47
00:03:05,800 –> 00:03:08,200
sacrifices of his son that
opened up the way to Salvation

48
00:03:08,200 –> 00:03:11,300
to all of us.
So I really enjoyed this class

49
00:03:11,400 –> 00:03:13,500
this this talk.
It was a really good refreshing

50
00:03:13,500 –> 00:03:16,100
look and since it’s kind of been
a theme that’s been going on

51
00:03:16,100 –> 00:03:20,700
more recently about being more
willing and open to praising God

52
00:03:21,200 –> 00:03:23,500
just in your day-to-day life and
all the little things that you

53
00:03:23,500 –> 00:03:27,700
do at feel is something that can
be important to be genuine in

54
00:03:27,700 –> 00:03:30,300
that praise and brother Andrew.
Does it really good job with

55
00:03:30,300 –> 00:03:32,600
this?
This class was a suggestion.

56
00:03:32,900 –> 00:03:36,000
One of a couple stalks by
actually my brother Andrew that

57
00:03:36,000 –> 00:03:38,800
somebody had suggested in this
was the best one of the bunch of

58
00:03:38,800 –> 00:03:41,800
so far that we’ve gotten is
always please continue to send

59
00:03:41,800 –> 00:03:45,900
in those suggestions as you find
them if your Ecclesia has any

60
00:03:45,900 –> 00:03:48,700
classes or talks hosted that may
not be on the mean kind of

61
00:03:48,708 –> 00:03:51,600
christadelphians sites the
christadelphians Bible talks or

62
00:03:51,900 –> 00:03:54,200
Crystal film Vault police in
them our way.

63
00:03:54,200 –> 00:03:59,000
It’s always exciting to find new
Unearthed Treasures of talks

64
00:03:59,000 –> 00:04:02,600
that maybe other people don’t
know or are out there the class.

65
00:04:02,700 –> 00:04:05,000
Sin, the atonement from couple
weeks ago by Brother her tent

66
00:04:05,000 –> 00:04:07,900
was an example of one of those
and if you’re looking for

67
00:04:07,900 –> 00:04:10,300
something that’s a little bit
different from the kind of long

68
00:04:10,300 –> 00:04:13,800
form of this podcast.
I want to give a shout out to

69
00:04:13,900 –> 00:04:18,800
Sam Taylor’s class pause to
consider and also Rachel Adams

70
00:04:19,100 –> 00:04:22,700
class new every morning.
My wife Kristen was listening to

71
00:04:22,700 –> 00:04:24,500
a couple of the classes from
there and talked about that.

72
00:04:24,500 –> 00:04:27,700
They had she had a special guest
speaker on another sister

73
00:04:27,700 –> 00:04:31,800
talking about depression anxiety
kind of in a two-part series and

74
00:04:31,800 –> 00:04:34,900
I know one of the classes We’ve
posted in the past year that has

75
00:04:34,900 –> 00:04:37,300
really hit a chord and it’s been
really powerful to a lot of

76
00:04:37,308 –> 00:04:40,400
people was the class on by
Brother Phil Davidson on

77
00:04:40,400 –> 00:04:43,400
depression and she mentioned
that this class in particular

78
00:04:43,400 –> 00:04:46,400
was one that kind of had a
similar style of looking at it

79
00:04:46,400 –> 00:04:49,400
from a medical perspective isn’t
well as looking at what it is

80
00:04:49,400 –> 00:04:51,500
though.
I haven’t listened to it myself

81
00:04:51,500 –> 00:04:53,600
just because it’s a podcast
that’s more directed towards

82
00:04:53,600 –> 00:04:57,000
sisters than it is to Brothers.
But if you’re interested in

83
00:04:57,000 –> 00:05:00,400
listening to it, feel free to
give it a listen as well.

84
00:05:00,500 –> 00:05:02,500
As always.
Thank you for all the support

85
00:05:02,500 –> 00:05:05,900
and He reviews comments of
anybody that you’re sending in

86
00:05:06,500 –> 00:05:09,200
it’s appreciated and we’re glad
that people are finding the

87
00:05:09,207 –> 00:05:13,000
podcast to be useful with that.
We’ll turn it over to brother

88
00:05:13,000 –> 00:05:16,500
Andrew Larson for his class
praise and worship.

89
00:05:17,400 –> 00:05:22,500
If we were to make a list of
words that we use most

90
00:05:22,500 –> 00:05:27,200
frequently in our meetings and
our prayers and hymns.

91
00:05:28,500 –> 00:05:32,000
And talks that we’re here.
I reckon near the top of that

92
00:05:32,000 –> 00:05:37,100
list would be the word worship
and praise and the great words

93
00:05:37,100 –> 00:05:40,500
and biblical words, but the
problem with words that we use

94
00:05:40,500 –> 00:05:45,400
very often is that they can lose
their income and they become

95
00:05:45,400 –> 00:05:48,300
part of this.
We’ve all sort of got a little

96
00:05:48,300 –> 00:05:52,400
vocabulary of words that we can
call upon very quickly when we

97
00:05:52,400 –> 00:05:56,400
need to Spring together a few
comments and I guess brothers

98
00:05:56,400 –> 00:06:00,900
who public prayers Sometimes
feel that way if you might be

99
00:06:00,900 –> 00:06:05,300
called upon with very little
notice and it can be very easy

100
00:06:05,300 –> 00:06:09,400
to sort of shrimp the all these
words that are very powerful

101
00:06:09,400 –> 00:06:13,900
words because we use them so
often they lose their impact and

102
00:06:13,900 –> 00:06:16,900
I’m not suggesting any time
anyone use the word worship and

103
00:06:16,900 –> 00:06:20,700
praise that they before about
but I’m saying there’s a danger

104
00:06:20,700 –> 00:06:24,400
that that can sometimes be the
case with these very familiar

105
00:06:24,400 –> 00:06:28,000
words.
We use them so often the used in

106
00:06:28,000 –> 00:06:32,100
all of their meetings.
Our hymn book is full of the

107
00:06:32,100 –> 00:06:34,700
mention of the word worship and
praise.

108
00:06:35,000 –> 00:06:38,700
So what we want to do tonight is
literally three things firstly.

109
00:06:38,700 –> 00:06:42,400
I want to look at what they
actually mean so we know exactly

110
00:06:42,400 –> 00:06:44,100
what those words mean when we
use them.

111
00:06:44,300 –> 00:06:47,800
Secondly, what we’re going to do
is and we’ll spend most of their

112
00:06:47,808 –> 00:06:51,700
time on that, but we want to
just have a little sneak preview

113
00:06:52,400 –> 00:06:57,600
into the kingdom to see what the
Saints Do with worship and fries

114
00:06:57,600 –> 00:07:00,500
and why they do and that’ll take
you so long and then finally

115
00:07:00,500 –> 00:07:03,400
right be in will this little bit
of the think about what we can

116
00:07:03,400 –> 00:07:07,000
do to make sure we’re feeling
like that now because you don’t

117
00:07:07,000 –> 00:07:09,900
always feel that way in our life
today.

118
00:07:09,900 –> 00:07:13,000
So first of all, let’s just have
a look at the word worship.

119
00:07:13,000 –> 00:07:17,800
Now the word worship it the
English word worship actually

120
00:07:17,800 –> 00:07:23,200
comes from Two Old English
words, meaning of the words are

121
00:07:23,200 –> 00:07:25,800
worth.
Which is obviously what that

122
00:07:25,800 –> 00:07:32,100
man’s and the words Skype SC.
I ve work Scott.

123
00:07:32,100 –> 00:07:34,000
Now.
We know what worth worth means.

124
00:07:34,000 –> 00:07:36,600
It means that they use
Something’s Got a value and the

125
00:07:36,608 –> 00:07:41,200
word stop and that were actually
eventually became the word ship

126
00:07:41,500 –> 00:07:44,700
and what that word is its that’s
a word that the signs of

127
00:07:44,700 –> 00:07:46,100
particular probably the
something.

128
00:07:46,100 –> 00:07:50,600
So, for example, if we use the
word friend shit, that’s the

129
00:07:50,600 –> 00:07:56,800
quality of being a friend if we
say Shows Sportsman ship that’s

130
00:07:56,800 –> 00:07:59,000
the quality of being a good
sport.

131
00:07:59,000 –> 00:08:03,600
That’s what would ship mate.
So when we use the word worship

132
00:08:04,100 –> 00:08:09,500
assign these it’s a word that is
actually worth stripe

133
00:08:09,500 –> 00:08:13,700
originally, but it means that
we’re saying that God’s got

134
00:08:13,700 –> 00:08:18,000
value.
There’s a certain quality of God

135
00:08:18,200 –> 00:08:22,400
that makes him worth something.
He’s worthy.

136
00:08:22,600 –> 00:08:27,600
He’s got our worth-ship like a
friend’s got friendship and God

137
00:08:27,600 –> 00:08:32,600
has a worth shit.
And so we were shipped him.

138
00:08:32,700 –> 00:08:35,700
That’s where the word comes from
and it’s very interesting is in

139
00:08:35,700 –> 00:08:38,700
the Bible.
We know Old Testament in Hebrew

140
00:08:39,200 –> 00:08:43,299
New Testament in Greek
originally and in the King James

141
00:08:43,299 –> 00:08:45,800
version when you see the word
Worship in the Old Testament you

142
00:08:46,000 –> 00:08:50,600
A word that means to actually
Crouch down before someone in

143
00:08:50,600 –> 00:08:54,600
fact to fall flat on your face
in front of the bow down before

144
00:08:54,900 –> 00:08:58,500
that’s what the word worship
means when you see in the Old

145
00:08:58,500 –> 00:09:01,400
Testament and in the New
Testament is quite similar to

146
00:09:01,400 –> 00:09:05,800
the word that means to form the
for something with Crouch down

147
00:09:05,800 –> 00:09:07,800
in front of something that
actually includes the meaning of

148
00:09:07,800 –> 00:09:11,600
a dog licking the hand of its
master.

149
00:09:12,200 –> 00:09:15,900
So when we use the word worship
Williams the words got very very

150
00:09:16,000 –> 00:09:19,500
the meaning behind it.
It’s got a very strong visuals

151
00:09:20,800 –> 00:09:24,600
meaning behind it.
And it’s a word that conveys the

152
00:09:24,600 –> 00:09:29,300
physicality of what means and
that’s reflected in our hymns.

153
00:09:29,700 –> 00:09:31,100
I’ll give you a couple of
examples.

154
00:09:31,100 –> 00:09:36,500
I got a whole list here, but
here 153 for example says Lord

155
00:09:36,500 –> 00:09:41,000
when we meet to worship really
help us to bow with Reverend or

156
00:09:41,100 –> 00:09:44,200
that’s well-written wisdom is
picked up the fact that worship

157
00:09:44,200 –> 00:09:49,300
means to Bow before some 159
Worship the Lord in the beauty

158
00:09:49,300 –> 00:09:52,000
of Holiness.
They are down before him his

159
00:09:52,000 –> 00:09:55,200
glory for climb again.
That’s very well put and there’s

160
00:09:55,200 –> 00:09:57,600
a whole string of those in our
hymn book that we’re very

161
00:09:57,600 –> 00:10:02,000
familiar with now in Australia.
When our Western culture, we

162
00:10:02,000 –> 00:10:05,100
don’t do that due to a large
degree.

163
00:10:05,100 –> 00:10:09,200
We don’t we hear meetings.
We we might stand for prayer

164
00:10:09,200 –> 00:10:10,500
prayer.
We stand for most of their

165
00:10:10,500 –> 00:10:15,200
breathe probably about him if
we’re sitting we might sort of

166
00:10:15,200 –> 00:10:16,500
sit a little bit.
Really?

167
00:10:17,200 –> 00:10:20,300
It was sort of snapped back with
not so suitable sit for a little

168
00:10:20,300 –> 00:10:23,700
bit more respectfully, but
that’s that’s about the limit of

169
00:10:23,700 –> 00:10:26,600
the physical aspect of our
worship in our culture.

170
00:10:26,600 –> 00:10:30,300
We do get down on our knees that
my meetings.

171
00:10:30,300 –> 00:10:32,600
Anyway, we don’t think to do
that much less fall flat on your

172
00:10:32,600 –> 00:10:36,500
face every biblical low and
that’s obviously Done In some

173
00:10:36,500 –> 00:10:40,000
cultures today.
So we’ve lost that feeling of

174
00:10:40,008 –> 00:10:45,100
that that physicality of the
meaning of the word worship, but

175
00:10:45,100 –> 00:10:49,300
it’s a very strong wrong word
and the Very meaning of the word

176
00:10:49,400 –> 00:10:52,800
conveys exactly.
What means and that is that if

177
00:10:52,800 –> 00:10:57,100
we worshiping God we’re saying
to God we do not have any

178
00:10:57,100 –> 00:11:04,500
standing or status before you
The old stains sheets before we

179
00:11:04,500 –> 00:11:08,300
have fled and 514 and that is
what worship means.

180
00:11:08,400 –> 00:11:11,800
That’s what we’re doing.
We’re expressing to God what is

181
00:11:11,800 –> 00:11:16,200
worth that is worth a lot more
than us infinitely more.

182
00:11:17,500 –> 00:11:19,200
He arrived his turn up two
passengers.

183
00:11:19,200 –> 00:11:22,000
Now.
The first one will tell us what

184
00:11:22,000 –> 00:11:25,200
worship is not and then the
second one will tell us what we

185
00:11:25,200 –> 00:11:27,200
should be is.
So let’s turn to Matthew chapter

186
00:11:27,200 –> 00:11:32,300
15 if you would and we will see
some scathing words, but our

187
00:11:32,300 –> 00:11:37,100
Lord Jesus Christ had to say
about his contemporaries.

188
00:11:39,500 –> 00:11:41,400
What he thought of their
worship?

189
00:11:43,000 –> 00:11:49,600
This is in Matthew chapter 15
verse 8 where we read this

190
00:11:49,600 –> 00:11:54,600
people draweth nigh unto me with
their mouth and honoureth me

191
00:11:54,600 –> 00:11:59,100
with their lips, but their heart
is far from me in vain.

192
00:11:59,200 –> 00:12:03,000
They do worship me teaching for
doctrines the Commandments of

193
00:12:03,000 –> 00:12:05,200
men.
So Jesus looks at his

194
00:12:05,200 –> 00:12:12,100
contemporaries and he says these
people so they say that they

195
00:12:12,100 –> 00:12:16,800
want to be close to me and they
say words that honor me and that

196
00:12:16,800 –> 00:12:21,400
word honor in the Greek means to
tries or to Value miss it very

197
00:12:21,400 –> 00:12:26,400
much on our subject for not
these people say that they only

198
00:12:27,600 –> 00:12:31,900
and that I’m valuable to them
that their heart says Jesus is

199
00:12:31,900 –> 00:12:36,300
going in the opposite direction
away from the thing that they

200
00:12:36,300 –> 00:12:42,500
say that they value so there’s
an inconsistency you would be

201
00:12:42,500 –> 00:12:47,400
like if someone if someone said
to you, I love you that’s very

202
00:12:47,400 –> 00:12:50,200
nice sentiment if they will they
save you from this is I love

203
00:12:50,200 –> 00:12:52,100
you.
That’s that’s wonderful.

204
00:12:52,300 –> 00:12:54,800
But one of them if they say it
for you looking at you in the

205
00:12:54,800 –> 00:13:01,200
face looking at your body.
I love you since we’ll be

206
00:13:01,200 –> 00:13:03,900
releasing that if they sang it
while they were walking wife.

207
00:13:03,900 –> 00:13:08,600
And if we did that thinking it’s
not the same and that’s what

208
00:13:08,600 –> 00:13:11,400
Jesus says here.
You say all these things about

209
00:13:11,400 –> 00:13:14,500
me, but you walking away from me
as she saying them.

210
00:13:15,700 –> 00:13:20,200
So there’s a complete disconnect
between your words and what

211
00:13:20,200 –> 00:13:22,300
you’re actually doing.
There’s a complete mismatch

212
00:13:22,300 –> 00:13:27,600
between those two things.
There’s an inconsistency between

213
00:13:27,900 –> 00:13:30,600
your words and how you actually
feel.

214
00:13:31,900 –> 00:13:36,500
Your words do not reflect the
way you feel and so he says in

215
00:13:36,500 –> 00:13:40,400
verse not in vain do they
worship me.

216
00:13:40,500 –> 00:13:42,600
So this is what they actually
are worshipping me.

217
00:13:42,600 –> 00:13:46,900
But at least they’re here to be
worshipping meat, but in fact,

218
00:13:47,200 –> 00:13:53,900
it is fun.
Its of no use whatsoever.

219
00:13:55,100 –> 00:13:59,400
And it’s ironic isn’t it that
the very deep relation that

220
00:13:59,400 –> 00:14:05,700
they’re saying the same we
worship you means we then you he

221
00:14:05,700 –> 00:14:09,300
said that very statement you’re
saying has absolutely no value

222
00:14:09,700 –> 00:14:14,200
your profession of it that I am
value to you is value less.

223
00:14:14,700 –> 00:14:19,700
It’s worth nothing and then he
says in verse 9 teaching for

224
00:14:19,700 –> 00:14:21,500
doctrines.
The Commandments of me.

225
00:14:21,500 –> 00:14:24,200
What’s that?
What’s even more that this

226
00:14:24,200 –> 00:14:25,700
passage?
We don’t have that but it’s

227
00:14:25,700 –> 00:14:31,200
quoting from Isaiah 29 and if we
look at Isaiah 29 verse 13 years

228
00:14:31,200 –> 00:14:36,400
be puts it this way then fear of
me is a commandment taught by

229
00:14:36,400 –> 00:14:40,200
men.
In other words, none of them had

230
00:14:40,200 –> 00:14:44,800
any feeling they were saying and
doing things for they knew they

231
00:14:44,800 –> 00:14:49,800
should but they have of them and
Jesus said that that’s that’s

232
00:14:49,800 –> 00:14:52,400
not worship.
That’s not even close to

233
00:14:52,400 –> 00:14:54,900
worship.
It’s actually of no value

234
00:14:55,300 –> 00:14:58,800
whatsoever.
He says to them you’re just

235
00:14:58,800 –> 00:15:03,800
going to sit for a set of rules
and use a form of words just

236
00:15:03,800 –> 00:15:07,700
because you told food when your
hearts million that’s of no

237
00:15:07,700 –> 00:15:09,200
interest.
Go automate.

238
00:15:09,600 –> 00:15:14,200
It’s a know that you whatsoever.
Now that’s what worship is not.

239
00:15:15,200 –> 00:15:17,100
Let’s see.
What was you is come over to

240
00:15:17,100 –> 00:15:22,000
John chapter 4.
This is quite a familiar passage

241
00:15:22,000 –> 00:15:26,600
to us from group John chapter 4
with the Lord Jesus Christ is

242
00:15:26,600 –> 00:15:31,600
talking in a famous conversation
woman from Samaria and he tells

243
00:15:31,600 –> 00:15:36,700
her what worship is and he says
in John chapter 4 and verse 23

244
00:15:38,200 –> 00:15:42,500
But the hour cometh and now is
when the true worshipers shall

245
00:15:42,500 –> 00:15:47,100
worship the father in spirit and
in truth for the father seeketh

246
00:15:47,100 –> 00:15:50,700
such to worship God is a spirit
and they that worship Him must

247
00:15:50,700 –> 00:15:53,900
worship Him in spirit and in
truth.

248
00:15:53,900 –> 00:15:57,500
So two parts true.
He says you got to understand

249
00:15:57,500 –> 00:15:59,500
the truth.
You’ve got a correct

250
00:16:00,100 –> 00:16:04,900
intellectual understanding of
who God is The public body work

251
00:16:04,900 –> 00:16:07,200
a lot.
What do you is?

252
00:16:08,900 –> 00:16:12,700
And secondly, he said there’s
going to be a spirit behind the

253
00:16:12,700 –> 00:16:16,500
meaning of that word includes
includes mental disposition

254
00:16:16,500 –> 00:16:18,200
behind us.
In other words.

255
00:16:18,200 –> 00:16:23,300
There’s got to be an emotional
and the spiritual grass of God

256
00:16:23,300 –> 00:16:27,100
worth and value.
We’ve got to feel something for

257
00:16:27,100 –> 00:16:30,900
God.
For worship for Meaningful and

258
00:16:30,900 –> 00:16:37,600
that feeling must be a
reflection of what he’s with a

259
00:16:37,600 –> 00:16:42,300
reflection of his worship.
So the question we ask is what

260
00:16:42,300 –> 00:16:43,700
do we think?
God is worth.

261
00:16:43,800 –> 00:16:53,400
What do you think God’s work?
Then we need to persist the

262
00:16:53,400 –> 00:16:56,500
value of anything, but the only
way really is to compare it to

263
00:16:56,500 –> 00:17:00,300
something else.
They say what’s that Howard is

264
00:17:00,300 –> 00:17:03,700
someone who have 20,000?
All right on our 20,000 in that

265
00:17:03,700 –> 00:17:05,800
that’s a that’s a very nice
overseas holiday.

266
00:17:06,200 –> 00:17:11,000
It’s a new kitchen whatever so I
can assess a work order 20 green

267
00:17:11,099 –> 00:17:12,599
blob.
Like how do I get an overseas

268
00:17:12,599 –> 00:17:16,099
holiday, which is worth more
which the better way of spending

269
00:17:16,099 –> 00:17:19,599
that $20,000 We compare things
with other things to work out

270
00:17:19,599 –> 00:17:23,400
what they’re worth.
So we’re going to find work of

271
00:17:23,400 –> 00:17:27,000
Worth to us.
We need to compare his value to

272
00:17:27,000 –> 00:17:31,800
other things in our life.
So we might ask the question

273
00:17:31,800 –> 00:17:36,000
here is we might ask yourself.
How does God’s Worth or his

274
00:17:36,000 –> 00:17:42,800
value compared to the value of
my car or my house if we’re

275
00:17:42,800 –> 00:17:46,600
going to have is how does God’s
value compared to the value to

276
00:17:46,600 –> 00:17:50,600
you at your job?
Or you think that?

277
00:17:52,300 –> 00:17:57,200
What’s the value of God compared
to the value of technology in

278
00:17:57,200 –> 00:18:00,900
your life?
How does his value compared to

279
00:18:00,900 –> 00:18:05,600
the value of your mobile phone
or to the value of sport in your

280
00:18:05,600 –> 00:18:06,700
life?
Yeah.

281
00:18:09,000 –> 00:18:12,800
Those questions it’s almost
ridiculous to us.

282
00:18:12,800 –> 00:18:18,700
And we think we’ll listen.
You can’t even compare doctor

283
00:18:18,700 –> 00:18:22,800
those things.
But some of us ridiculously that

284
00:18:22,800 –> 00:18:25,900
are supposed to push but they’re
just words.

285
00:18:26,700 –> 00:18:29,000
That’s the sort of in Jesus
contemporaries would have seen.

286
00:18:32,800 –> 00:18:39,000
Just and a good test of those
words could be the men fashion

287
00:18:39,900 –> 00:18:45,400
and attachment we actually feel
for those various things because

288
00:18:45,400 –> 00:18:52,200
the passion the attachment that
we feel for things in our life.

289
00:18:52,200 –> 00:18:56,300
And for God in their life is a
fair indication of what they’re

290
00:18:56,300 –> 00:19:00,600
actually worth the cinema.
We ascribe War most things in

291
00:19:00,600 –> 00:19:04,700
life and to God add a value and
that value.

292
00:19:05,900 –> 00:19:07,700
Is a reflection of how we feel
it.

293
00:19:09,200 –> 00:19:13,100
How much we value?
And their feelings will

294
00:19:13,100 –> 00:19:16,000
naturally flow from the answer
to that question.

295
00:19:16,600 –> 00:19:20,600
So Jesus said that in Matthew 15
for those people.

296
00:19:20,600 –> 00:19:24,900
He said you knew show passionate
attachment to a lot of things in

297
00:19:24,900 –> 00:19:27,000
your life.
But if we were to make a list of

298
00:19:27,000 –> 00:19:29,400
them God would not be at the top
of that list.

299
00:19:30,500 –> 00:19:34,500
Not even be a fair way down the
list certain not top of that

300
00:19:34,500 –> 00:19:36,800
list of things that you value
say.

301
00:19:37,500 –> 00:19:41,200
These are the top levels.
But that’s just weird that

302
00:19:41,200 –> 00:19:46,000
that’s brilliant.
In your heart is well, they’re

303
00:19:46,500 –> 00:19:48,500
almost Vista things in your
life.

304
00:19:48,600 –> 00:19:52,700
So we might ask the question.
Well if we dig a Little Deeper

305
00:19:54,200 –> 00:19:57,100
Think about what you spend your
time doing your last this

306
00:19:57,100 –> 00:20:00,500
question of ourself.
What I spend my time doing

307
00:20:00,700 –> 00:20:03,600
forget about the things that you
have to do is for those who are

308
00:20:03,608 –> 00:20:06,500
baptized you get the occlusal
plan and you can listen for

309
00:20:06,500 –> 00:20:08,700
certain thing there things
you’ve got to do.

310
00:20:09,500 –> 00:20:11,900
So, let’s just take them off the
table outside of those

311
00:20:11,900 –> 00:20:14,900
committees have what do you
spend your time doing?

312
00:20:16,700 –> 00:20:21,700
If the vast majority of their
time and thoughts center around

313
00:20:21,700 –> 00:20:26,100
everything, but God.
Then it could be.

314
00:20:27,300 –> 00:20:31,300
As Jesus said in Matthew 15 that
we are just simply honoring God

315
00:20:31,800 –> 00:20:35,000
with their lips, but their
hearts getting nail direction

316
00:20:35,800 –> 00:20:37,600
towards more important things in
life.

317
00:20:37,600 –> 00:20:41,500
It could be that our service to
God isn’t much deeper than just

318
00:20:41,500 –> 00:20:45,400
keeping silly rules.
That’s a good question to ask

319
00:20:45,400 –> 00:20:50,000
ourselves.
Because of air pollution is

320
00:20:50,000 –> 00:20:55,800
truly an emotional expression of
what God worth in our life.

321
00:20:56,200 –> 00:20:59,800
We should have very very strong
feelings about God.

322
00:21:01,100 –> 00:21:05,300
We should have our strongest
feelings about God the things

323
00:21:05,300 –> 00:21:08,300
that we are most passionate
about in life.

324
00:21:09,500 –> 00:21:15,100
Should be God if our feelings
are a reflection of what he’s

325
00:21:15,100 –> 00:21:18,400
will.
That’s a good question to ask

326
00:21:18,400 –> 00:21:24,000
yourself.
Our worship should our worship

327
00:21:24,000 –> 00:21:28,300
should Express the Limitless
were of God in our life.

328
00:21:28,300 –> 00:21:32,000
Now give an example of that.
Just come with me to Psalm 73

329
00:21:32,000 –> 00:21:36,100
just one quick example.
Now, we read these passages and

330
00:21:36,100 –> 00:21:39,700
sometimes just seems like we’re
sort of reading some of the

331
00:21:39,700 –> 00:21:47,000
outside of ourselves this
wonderful example 773 verse 25

332
00:21:50,700 –> 00:21:57,000
Whom have I in heaven, but the
and there is none upon Earth

333
00:21:57,900 –> 00:22:04,000
that I desire beside them.
So here the Rodriguez son says I

334
00:22:04,000 –> 00:22:09,200
look up to heaven and I know
there’s one only one God there’s

335
00:22:09,200 –> 00:22:14,100
one God in him and they look
down on this Earth and I see

336
00:22:14,200 –> 00:22:19,200
there is nothing on this Earth.
It contains two that thoughts

337
00:22:19,200 –> 00:22:22,800
and these are that’s a
comparison of words and there’s

338
00:22:22,800 –> 00:22:27,100
one God in heaven and nothing
else on this Earth compares to

339
00:22:27,100 –> 00:22:31,700
him.
So it goes on to say that there

340
00:22:31,700 –> 00:22:36,100
is no one nothing on Earth that
I would desire beside thee and

341
00:22:36,100 –> 00:22:40,700
that would desire is usually
translated for the word delight.

342
00:22:42,000 –> 00:22:44,600
So could you really say that in
your wife or could I say that in

343
00:22:44,600 –> 00:22:49,500
my life that there’s nothing on
this Earth that Delights me more

344
00:22:49,500 –> 00:22:53,700
than God.
I gravitate towards the things

345
00:22:53,700 –> 00:22:58,500
of God more than other things
could could you say that in your

346
00:22:58,500 –> 00:23:00,100
life?
Who could I say that in my life?

347
00:23:00,100 –> 00:23:01,800
Because that’s what the writer
of that Sam said.

348
00:23:01,800 –> 00:23:05,300
We don’t feel like that then
we’re reading a verse like that.

349
00:23:05,300 –> 00:23:09,000
We’re even something outside of
ourselves beautiful words, but

350
00:23:09,000 –> 00:23:14,100
it’s not we’re not part of it.
It’s not feeling that way in our

351
00:23:14,100 –> 00:23:18,200
life verse 26 My Flesh and my
heart failure, but God is the

352
00:23:18,200 –> 00:23:23,000
strength of my heart and my
portion forever what that’s

353
00:23:23,000 –> 00:23:27,900
saying is is basically The sun
is the same people that you I

354
00:23:27,908 –> 00:23:31,500
couldn’t go on.
What is it could not be wrong.

355
00:23:32,400 –> 00:23:36,200
If I didn’t have God in my life.
He’s the only thing keeping me

356
00:23:36,200 –> 00:23:42,600
going is the only thing or what
better ask yourself is very

357
00:23:42,600 –> 00:23:47,300
strong language like that.
Could we honestly read those and

358
00:23:47,300 –> 00:23:51,400
think this all mean for me give
you the feelings of Sam’s like

359
00:23:51,400 –> 00:23:53,500
that because that is true
worship.

360
00:23:54,900 –> 00:23:58,600
That’s a person.
Punjab is worth more than

361
00:23:58,600 –> 00:24:02,600
anything.
That’s the true word of God.

362
00:24:03,600 –> 00:24:09,300
Now, what about the word prize?
You surprised me many times to

363
00:24:09,300 –> 00:24:14,000
slightly use the word worship
and the word prize actually

364
00:24:14,000 –> 00:24:19,400
English word phrase actually
comes from the Latin word prize

365
00:24:19,500 –> 00:24:22,300
to try some sense sounds like
that would be true.

366
00:24:22,400 –> 00:24:26,000
So I guess that must be true.
I’m no Latin expert but that

367
00:24:26,000 –> 00:24:28,700
makes sense to me.
So the word praise comes from

368
00:24:28,700 –> 00:24:33,100
the word prize.
So we pry something again.

369
00:24:33,100 –> 00:24:36,100
It’s gettin It’s Gettin
something of value here.

370
00:24:36,500 –> 00:24:42,200
Is full of this is that praising
God 248 times in the King James

371
00:24:42,200 –> 00:24:43,400
Bible.
The word is used.

372
00:24:43,500 –> 00:24:50,000
So what’s us to tries him?
And he wants us to praise him.

373
00:24:50,000 –> 00:24:52,700
Now.
What would make us want to

374
00:24:52,700 –> 00:24:56,700
praise God what we want to do
that?

375
00:24:58,200 –> 00:25:02,600
You think that crazy week we
price things all the time.

376
00:25:03,300 –> 00:25:08,700
We praise people we we
spontaneously praise all sorts

377
00:25:08,700 –> 00:25:12,900
of things a good example that I
can think of is a couple

378
00:25:12,900 –> 00:25:17,700
examples is one of the examples
this age group but a new baby

379
00:25:19,700 –> 00:25:23,400
Who experience the new you
visited a new baby in your

380
00:25:23,400 –> 00:25:28,500
family and we know a new baby
comes into the ecclesial hall

381
00:25:28,500 –> 00:25:32,400
for the first time and the whole
everyone’s around that may be

382
00:25:32,400 –> 00:25:36,500
praising the baby spontaneously,
it’s something that is

383
00:25:36,600 –> 00:25:39,200
spontaneous.
Its prey.

384
00:25:39,200 –> 00:25:42,900
That’s what prize is we tries
this little this little new

385
00:25:42,900 –> 00:25:46,200
creature in our midst.
Will you take a sporting event?

386
00:25:47,000 –> 00:25:51,700
All right, I’m Grand final day a
hundred thousand people packed

387
00:25:51,700 –> 00:25:55,500
the XE G and the Praises
definitely look for leads.

388
00:25:56,200 –> 00:25:58,500
It’s just simply Prides for a
different kind.

389
00:25:59,300 –> 00:26:03,100
But again, it’s a spontaneous
price people praise things or

390
00:26:03,100 –> 00:26:04,700
both.
We praise the wedding we come up

391
00:26:04,700 –> 00:26:07,200
here in this beautiful place
where lovely world isn’t it

392
00:26:07,200 –> 00:26:11,400
beautiful facilities.
I love you lovely food.

393
00:26:11,400 –> 00:26:14,700
We’ve had a thought of Praise.
So we praise things all the

394
00:26:14,700 –> 00:26:19,000
time, which is something That is
spontaneous in life.

395
00:26:20,100 –> 00:26:22,600
And that’s all leave.
I want to read you a passage

396
00:26:23,400 –> 00:26:26,500
from a writer by the name of CS
Lewis.

397
00:26:26,500 –> 00:26:29,400
You may have heard of him.
He wasn’t a Christian feel but

398
00:26:29,400 –> 00:26:37,900
he was a religious man and he
wrote this in 1958 and it was on

399
00:26:37,900 –> 00:26:41,000
the subject of Christ.
He said this so listen

400
00:26:41,000 –> 00:26:42,500
carefully.
This is not very wrong.

401
00:26:43,100 –> 00:26:47,300
He said That prize isn’t just
getting compliments.

402
00:26:47,500 –> 00:26:50,800
It’s something more than that.
He said the world rings with

403
00:26:50,800 –> 00:26:56,100
prayers and he went on for life
just as people spontaneously

404
00:26:56,100 –> 00:27:01,900
pray whatever they value so they
spontaneously urge us to join me

405
00:27:01,900 –> 00:27:05,300
praising.
It is geography wasn’t it?

406
00:27:05,300 –> 00:27:08,400
Glorious?
Isn’t that Magnificent the

407
00:27:08,400 –> 00:27:11,800
psalmist in telling everyone to
praise God are doing what

408
00:27:11,800 –> 00:27:14,400
everyone does when they speak of
what they care about?

409
00:27:15,100 –> 00:27:19,900
I think we’d like to praise what
we Joy because praise not merely

410
00:27:19,900 –> 00:27:25,400
expressive but completes the
enjoyment not be very

411
00:27:25,400 –> 00:27:28,400
perceptive.
So praise is something we enjoy

412
00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:30,700
them.
It is a spontaneous thing and

413
00:27:30,700 –> 00:27:34,900
its heart.
It is part of our enjoyment of

414
00:27:34,900 –> 00:27:39,400
the thing that we’re crazy.
And a good way to think of that

415
00:27:39,400 –> 00:27:42,500
if you take the example of the
new baby, you can imagine it.

416
00:27:42,500 –> 00:27:47,000
If you said to a new parent as
they go to visit their baby in

417
00:27:47,000 –> 00:27:50,200
the hospital just before you go
in when you hold the baby for

418
00:27:50,200 –> 00:27:53,100
the first time you don’t let if
she say anything no one’s going

419
00:27:53,100 –> 00:27:57,400
to say a word about this child.
They’re all sitting in the room

420
00:27:57,700 –> 00:28:01,200
inside instead of raiding
incessantly about it.

421
00:28:01,200 –> 00:28:03,600
Beautiful.
Everyone seemed an absolute

422
00:28:03,600 –> 00:28:06,800
silence.
Beckham track from the occasion

423
00:28:07,900 –> 00:28:11,800
someone probably probably in the
parents as well.

424
00:28:15,000 –> 00:28:19,500
And this example the sporting
event is the same as if you went

425
00:28:19,500 –> 00:28:22,600
it was holding a big sporting
event and everyone had to be

426
00:28:22,600 –> 00:28:26,000
completely silent.
But the cheese chili atmosphere

427
00:28:26,000 –> 00:28:30,800
stone-dead wouldn’t because
people spontaneously do that and

428
00:28:30,800 –> 00:28:33,900
what this writer see us live
with is saying that part of our

429
00:28:33,900 –> 00:28:40,700
joy of God and part of the joy
part of the joy you experience

430
00:28:40,700 –> 00:28:44,600
in knowing god is expressing
those feelings back to him.

431
00:28:45,700 –> 00:28:50,100
It’s something that God enjoys
but it’s something that enhances

432
00:28:50,100 –> 00:28:54,800
our enjoyment of God just like
praising anything enhancers are

433
00:28:54,800 –> 00:28:59,300
enjoyment together of that
things if we truly love God, we

434
00:28:59,300 –> 00:29:03,700
will want to praise him and it
will happened largely

435
00:29:04,200 –> 00:29:09,200
spontaneously.
Now that begs the question if

436
00:29:09,200 –> 00:29:12,700
it’s it was like it’s
spontaneous who feel that way

437
00:29:12,700 –> 00:29:16,900
spontaneous thing why then does
the Bible command us to praise

438
00:29:16,900 –> 00:29:19,000
God because it does hundreds of
times.

439
00:29:20,300 –> 00:29:23,200
What would do that in something
that comes naturally and we’ve

440
00:29:23,200 –> 00:29:26,200
been breathing is natural.
God doesn’t commands to breathe

441
00:29:26,200 –> 00:29:29,500
we do that what what well
without being sold to lose that

442
00:29:29,500 –> 00:29:33,400
we enjoyed reading.
I do I know you do too.

443
00:29:33,400 –> 00:29:37,200
So we brought we all breathe
without being told to get

444
00:29:37,200 –> 00:29:39,900
spontaneous.
So there’s very something

445
00:29:39,900 –> 00:29:42,900
different about praise
spontaneous.

446
00:29:42,900 –> 00:29:47,300
They were his and I think the
answer to that is that the

447
00:29:47,300 –> 00:29:53,100
soften AV praising God.
He’s only spontaneous when we

448
00:29:53,100 –> 00:29:59,200
understand and we have a
relationship with in so when God

449
00:29:59,200 –> 00:30:02,900
commands us to praise him, which
he does many many times.

450
00:30:03,100 –> 00:30:07,100
I think what he’s saying is
firstly get to know many what

451
00:30:07,100 –> 00:30:11,300
I’ve liked understand what I’ve
done for you and then secondly

452
00:30:11,300 –> 00:30:16,500
you will find That the split the
prize will spontaneously

453
00:30:16,500 –> 00:30:20,600
followed it will be a joyful
expression of what you know

454
00:30:20,600 –> 00:30:26,800
about and that is why so often
in the Bible the command to

455
00:30:26,800 –> 00:30:30,700
praise God is coupled with a
description of what he’s done

456
00:30:30,900 –> 00:30:36,100
even example that let’s turn up
sound 146 would thanks.

457
00:30:37,100 –> 00:30:48,200
So 146 damp wood price you might
be interested to know because

458
00:30:48,200 –> 00:30:56,300
248 times in the King James
Bible 248 times. the Old

459
00:30:56,300 –> 00:31:03,400
Testament and a hundred and
sixty of that turning 48 are in

460
00:31:03,400 –> 00:31:09,400
Sam’s and all that having the
60/40 of them appear in 746.

461
00:31:09,400 –> 00:31:12,200
Some hundred fifty is about 3 to
our pages.

462
00:31:13,500 –> 00:31:18,400
So one in every one of the
briefs occurrences of the word

463
00:31:18,400 –> 00:31:22,200
praise in the Bible occurs in
two and a half pages.

464
00:31:22,300 –> 00:31:26,800
So we’re going to talk about
prize something 46 to 750 is

465
00:31:26,800 –> 00:31:31,200
where it really comes into focus
and you’ll notice we’re not

466
00:31:31,200 –> 00:31:33,400
going to read this so that if
you just scan your eyes over to

467
00:31:33,400 –> 00:31:36,300
page you’ll see you might
already have a cuddle in it’s

468
00:31:36,300 –> 00:31:39,200
good to do.
So the first and last words in

469
00:31:39,200 –> 00:31:43,000
each of those sounds are praised
here yellow the first and last

470
00:31:43,200 –> 00:31:48,800
Words in each of those sounds
and in 46 to 50 so jumps out

471
00:31:48,800 –> 00:31:54,700
doesn’t it and then the body of
H sub lists God righteous,

472
00:31:54,700 –> 00:31:57,200
please I’m not going to read
them.

473
00:31:57,200 –> 00:31:59,000
That’s what they do.
You just scan your eyes.

474
00:31:59,000 –> 00:32:01,800
Oh, you can just see that for
whole list of things that God

475
00:32:01,900 –> 00:32:05,100
has done.
So let’s go do you say this is

476
00:32:05,100 –> 00:32:11,200
what I’ve done and now you know
that praise me for it.

477
00:32:13,300 –> 00:32:17,000
And not only that it tells us
that it will be a pleasure for

478
00:32:17,000 –> 00:32:19,800
us to do so because it’s almost
if he doesn’t even need to

479
00:32:19,808 –> 00:32:23,500
command us to do it, but it
looks so mad and 47 verse 1 for

480
00:32:23,500 –> 00:32:26,600
example phrase you.
Yeah, wait for it is good to

481
00:32:26,600 –> 00:32:30,200
sing praises unto God.
It is pleasant and this coupling

482
00:32:30,700 –> 00:32:33,200
what we love to do Pleasant
things that we love to enjoy

483
00:32:33,200 –> 00:32:37,500
ourselves and the psalmist is
saying you knew that it was an

484
00:32:37,500 –> 00:32:40,800
enjoyable thinking about what be
a burden but be a command to

485
00:32:40,800 –> 00:32:46,100
keep it’ll be a pleasure in your
life. 749 burst to let Israel

486
00:32:46,100 –> 00:32:50,400
rejoice in him that made him let
the children of Zion be joyful

487
00:32:50,500 –> 00:32:54,100
in their King hundred and
forty-nine and verse 5 let the

488
00:32:54,100 –> 00:32:57,900
Saints be joyful in glory.
Let them sing aloud upon their

489
00:32:57,900 –> 00:33:02,600
beds.
Now if we return to the example

490
00:33:02,600 –> 00:33:09,900
again of the baby in the
hospital you think about him

491
00:33:09,900 –> 00:33:13,200
think well, why go visit my baby
in the hospital.

492
00:33:13,900 –> 00:33:18,000
I’m going to see probably 50 to
50 babies in the Maternity Ward

493
00:33:18,500 –> 00:33:20,900
and I walk past every single one
of them who are going to mean

494
00:33:20,900 –> 00:33:24,100
absolutely nothing to me.
But if I’m totally objective

495
00:33:24,100 –> 00:33:29,000
about it, they’re all roughly as
beautiful as my as my child that

496
00:33:29,000 –> 00:33:31,700
I’m going to sue but they all
mean nothing to me.

497
00:33:32,000 –> 00:33:34,600
It’s my child is the one that
I’m going to put down their

498
00:33:34,600 –> 00:33:38,100
prize.
We really do all the same thing.

499
00:33:39,800 –> 00:33:44,700
If I use the example of the they
are physically they are and

500
00:33:44,700 –> 00:33:48,400
again if we use the example of
the sporting event, if you take

501
00:33:48,400 –> 00:33:51,600
so football game, for example,
half the crowd they’re going to

502
00:33:51,600 –> 00:33:55,700
cheer wildly when one side
performs a particular task on

503
00:33:55,700 –> 00:33:58,800
the field and will be in silence
when the other side does exactly

504
00:33:58,800 –> 00:34:02,100
the same thing and there are no
rules about that.

505
00:34:02,800 –> 00:34:05,700
There’s no sign in the hospital
when you walk in and said when

506
00:34:05,700 –> 00:34:09,300
you see the baby make sure you
praise it and say think of it a

507
00:34:09,308 –> 00:34:14,199
beautiful things there are no
signs of sporting venues so make

508
00:34:14,199 –> 00:34:18,199
sure your cheer incredible
atmosphere when your team starts

509
00:34:18,199 –> 00:34:22,800
winning all this is just
spontaneous it can’t be

510
00:34:22,800 –> 00:34:28,000
contained and it’s pointless to
try and that’s what this is

511
00:34:28,000 –> 00:34:32,900
describing when it comes to God
which is infinitely higher level

512
00:34:32,900 –> 00:34:39,900
of those examples you know that
750 praise you yahwah praise God

513
00:34:39,900 –> 00:34:43,400
in his Sanctuary Praise Him in
the firmament of his power

514
00:34:43,600 –> 00:34:46,500
praising for his mighty acts
Praise Him according to his

515
00:34:46,500 –> 00:34:49,900
excellent greatness praising the
sound of the trumpet praise him

516
00:34:49,900 –> 00:34:52,400
with the psaltery and harp
praise him with the timbrel and

517
00:34:52,400 –> 00:34:55,100
dance praise him with stringed
instruments and organs Praise

518
00:34:55,100 –> 00:34:57,900
Him upon the loud symbol
phrasing upon the high sounding

519
00:34:57,900 –> 00:35:03,000
cymbals let everything that has
breath praise yahwah praise ye

520
00:35:03,100 –> 00:35:10,700
yahwah now does that read to you
like a set of rules Or

521
00:35:10,700 –> 00:35:12,700
description of a group of
people.

522
00:35:13,600 –> 00:35:16,200
There are simply having the time
of their lives pricey girl

523
00:35:16,500 –> 00:35:19,300
because I love it because it
what he’s done for them.

524
00:35:19,800 –> 00:35:24,200
That’s what that is is that’s
not a set of rules sign prize

525
00:35:24,200 –> 00:35:28,400
God as God wants you to price
that same think about what I’ve

526
00:35:28,400 –> 00:35:33,500
done for you and it will just
naturally burst out in song or

527
00:35:33,500 –> 00:35:37,400
music and prayer whatever but we
conversation for inaction in

528
00:35:37,400 –> 00:35:40,500
life.
Their enjoyment and their love

529
00:35:40,500 –> 00:35:46,100
of God will just spring out of
our appreciation of what he’s

530
00:35:46,100 –> 00:35:50,700
done for us.
When we appreciate that right

531
00:35:50,700 –> 00:35:55,300
bodies, then when we see a verse
that says praise Yahweh that

532
00:35:55,300 –> 00:35:58,000
ceases to be a command and a law
to keep.

533
00:35:59,500 –> 00:36:03,300
And it’s just simply didn’t
ation for us to express our joy

534
00:36:03,300 –> 00:36:08,100
together towards God for what
he’s done for us and when we do

535
00:36:08,100 –> 00:36:13,800
that together.
We are enhancing our enjoyment

536
00:36:13,800 –> 00:36:17,000
of God.
That’s the white gold filters.

537
00:36:17,800 –> 00:36:23,200
He’s built us to enjoy freising
together things that we enjoy

538
00:36:24,200 –> 00:36:29,300
things that we value in life
things that we prize in life.

539
00:36:29,800 –> 00:36:33,000
He’s built that for lie to us
and will be directed to the

540
00:36:33,000 –> 00:36:37,100
greatest thing in the universe.
And of course that is God

541
00:36:37,100 –> 00:36:42,600
himself and what greater tribute
could wear these So then you’ve

542
00:36:42,600 –> 00:36:47,800
got happiness people order the
other ones that are serving him.

543
00:36:48,400 –> 00:36:50,800
They should be human.
We should be the happiest place

544
00:36:50,800 –> 00:36:55,200
on earth.
Because we’re sitting in God.

545
00:36:56,600 –> 00:37:00,100
That we know and love and we
know how much he loves us.

546
00:37:01,200 –> 00:37:06,000
So summary of prize.
It’s not just offering God

547
00:37:06,000 –> 00:37:08,200
components.
Not just flattering God.

548
00:37:08,500 –> 00:37:13,200
It is expressing the genuine
love and admiration we have for

549
00:37:13,200 –> 00:37:18,400
him and how much wheat rising in
our life have that who believes

550
00:37:18,700 –> 00:37:20,600
in our life.
Now?

551
00:37:20,600 –> 00:37:26,900
What I want to do is just have a
little look into how the Saints

552
00:37:27,500 –> 00:37:29,400
will praise and worship God in
the Kingdom.

553
00:37:29,400 –> 00:37:32,600
I want you to turn with me.
It’s Revelation chapter 4.

554
00:37:34,800 –> 00:37:38,100
Now if you’re thinking of
getting getting it complex now,

555
00:37:38,100 –> 00:37:41,300
we’re going to revelation of the
really understand it go over.

556
00:37:41,300 –> 00:37:43,200
That was just this very very
simple.

557
00:37:44,000 –> 00:37:48,500
This is just a very very simple
liberal Vision that we have

558
00:37:48,500 –> 00:37:52,100
given but it is absolutely fact
of powerful.

559
00:37:52,800 –> 00:37:54,900
And so all that praise and
worship.

560
00:37:55,100 –> 00:37:59,100
We are look we are we are
drawing back the curtain and we

561
00:37:59,100 –> 00:38:03,000
are having a little sneak peek
at the Saints worshiping and

562
00:38:03,000 –> 00:38:08,300
praising God in the king.
Revelation 4 verse 10 million

563
00:38:08,300 –> 00:38:12,500
Israelis as I don’t don’t feel
daunted if it’s I think it’s

564
00:38:12,500 –> 00:38:15,500
going to be complex.
This is very very simple versus.

565
00:38:17,500 –> 00:38:19,800
Verse 10 the Four and Twenty
Elders.

566
00:38:19,800 –> 00:38:23,200
That’s just the same thing with
Kingdom fall down before him

567
00:38:23,200 –> 00:38:26,900
that sat on the throne and
worship him that liveth forever

568
00:38:26,900 –> 00:38:31,700
and ever and cast their crowns
Before the Throne saying Thou

569
00:38:31,700 –> 00:38:35,600
Art Worthy O Lord to receive
glory and honor and power for

570
00:38:35,600 –> 00:38:39,100
their has created all things and
for thy pleasure they are and

571
00:38:39,100 –> 00:38:43,600
were created now.
Really?

572
00:38:44,900 –> 00:38:49,400
Now you can see from Reading
those that that’s got all the

573
00:38:49,400 –> 00:38:52,300
elements of worship here at so
in verse 10.

574
00:38:52,300 –> 00:38:56,500
It said they fall down they fall
down before him, you know,

575
00:38:56,500 –> 00:38:58,800
that’s what the word worship
includes never met.

576
00:38:58,800 –> 00:39:04,700
They fall down before him.
It says in verse 10 that they

577
00:39:04,700 –> 00:39:08,700
worship units use the word
worship and then in verse 11, it

578
00:39:08,700 –> 00:39:11,300
says there are worthy.
Oh Lord.

579
00:39:13,200 –> 00:39:19,600
What’s up workship Associated?
We’ve got now let’s just look at

580
00:39:19,600 –> 00:39:23,700
verse 11 and let’s just pick
apart what this 11 is telling us

581
00:39:24,000 –> 00:39:29,000
because it tells us a lot about
why we praise and worship God.

582
00:39:29,000 –> 00:39:32,600
Why do we value God so much.
This is the king of this the

583
00:39:32,600 –> 00:39:35,600
Saints in the Kingdom.
So they ought to know all that

584
00:39:35,600 –> 00:39:37,900
worship.
We will when we’re there.

585
00:39:38,100 –> 00:39:40,300
This is what it’s going to be.
This is like going in a time

586
00:39:40,300 –> 00:39:42,600
machine into the kingdom and
here.

587
00:39:42,800 –> 00:39:45,900
The same for themselves tell us
a little bit about praise and

588
00:39:45,900 –> 00:39:47,800
worship moment.
So what is the best live inside?

589
00:39:47,900 –> 00:39:51,300
The first thing that says is
there are worthy.

590
00:39:51,400 –> 00:39:55,200
Oh Lord.
So they’re simply saying to God

591
00:39:55,200 –> 00:40:00,300
you are worth something to us.
You’ve got a certain value and

592
00:40:00,300 –> 00:40:06,200
that value is so great.
So the Saints But we can save

593
00:40:06,300 –> 00:40:09,600
more things about you.
We’re going to ascribe certain

594
00:40:09,600 –> 00:40:12,100
things food because you’re so
worthy.

595
00:40:12,300 –> 00:40:13,700
What did I do?
What did I say?

596
00:40:13,800 –> 00:40:18,100
Well, they say you’re worthy.
Oh Lord, you’ve got to let you

597
00:40:18,107 –> 00:40:27,100
get a great value and you are so
worthy that you receive glory

598
00:40:27,200 –> 00:40:33,800
and honor and Power. seven
translations actually put that

599
00:40:33,800 –> 00:40:38,600
this this life for that one
expression that there are worthy

600
00:40:38,600 –> 00:40:48,200
O Lord to receive the glory and
the honor and the hell in other

601
00:40:48,200 –> 00:40:56,100
words all glory all honor and
all power goes to God.

602
00:40:57,400 –> 00:41:01,600
Otherwise it were it not for the
word those leaves in there.

603
00:41:01,900 –> 00:41:05,200
It could mean what you get you
get some glory in parinama God

604
00:41:05,200 –> 00:41:11,100
or even most but when you say
God, you’re worthy to receive

605
00:41:11,200 –> 00:41:15,100
the glory that honor and the
power what you’re saying is you

606
00:41:15,100 –> 00:41:17,600
get it.
All we got for these Saints are

607
00:41:17,600 –> 00:41:23,600
saying God you are worth so much
that all glory all honor and all

608
00:41:23,900 –> 00:41:30,100
power goes to you.
Everything goes to you.

609
00:41:30,400 –> 00:41:32,400
You are just the most valuable
thing.

610
00:41:32,400 –> 00:41:38,200
You are the only thing in the
universe of inventive putting us

611
00:41:38,400 –> 00:41:43,000
putting everything got the only
thing that has any value at all.

612
00:41:43,400 –> 00:41:50,300
Now if we were there from now in
this verse who’s sitting there,

613
00:41:51,100 –> 00:41:56,100
we heard the site say that And
you put your hand up and say can

614
00:41:56,100 –> 00:42:01,100
I ask can I ask a question and
they said yeah and he’s like why

615
00:42:02,700 –> 00:42:05,400
why is God worthy of such lofty
symptoms?

616
00:42:05,500 –> 00:42:09,600
Why do you think he deserves to
get all the glory all the honor

617
00:42:09,600 –> 00:42:12,800
and all the power to the
excluding with us?

618
00:42:13,000 –> 00:42:17,800
Why would that be well, we know
they’re answering people.

619
00:42:17,800 –> 00:42:23,800
They tell us that this for what
other words cause There has

620
00:42:23,800 –> 00:42:28,800
created all things and for thy
pleasure they are and were

621
00:42:29,400 –> 00:42:34,600
created in verse 11 for the end
of verse 11 what it says you

622
00:42:34,600 –> 00:42:39,300
created all things and for thy
pleasure they are and were

623
00:42:39,300 –> 00:42:41,300
created just a bit of including
translation.

624
00:42:41,300 –> 00:42:47,700
You look at has by your will.
They are and were created so

625
00:42:48,000 –> 00:42:50,700
it’s probably worth making that
note in the margin if you got

626
00:42:50,700 –> 00:42:53,000
something right, but that’s what
it’s really saying.

627
00:42:53,400 –> 00:42:56,800
The reason that they giving the
story on and power of God is

628
00:42:56,800 –> 00:43:02,700
because God has created all
things and by his will they are

629
00:43:02,800 –> 00:43:06,800
and were created.
So that’s so one that well that

630
00:43:06,800 –> 00:43:09,700
with the answer your question.
What was with him you think

631
00:43:09,700 –> 00:43:16,600
about that what they say he is.
Go by the decision Victory out.

632
00:43:19,400 –> 00:43:27,100
and he actually created.
It was his decision. and he’s at

633
00:43:28,600 –> 00:43:33,200
he wasn’t support some of those
my decision and God was running

634
00:43:33,200 –> 00:43:37,400
with the pair carried out.
And it wasn’t the reverse of

635
00:43:37,400 –> 00:43:40,500
that that it was gone for the
season, but he had to ask

636
00:43:40,500 –> 00:43:42,500
someone else to carry out
because he didn’t have a Babu.

637
00:43:42,500 –> 00:43:47,900
So the decision was gods.
And the task was built.

638
00:43:48,200 –> 00:43:51,200
He’s the only one to promote the
see the anyone to carry it out.

639
00:43:51,400 –> 00:43:55,000
So he is totally responsible for
everything.

640
00:43:55,100 –> 00:43:56,100
Now.
That’s true.

641
00:43:56,700 –> 00:43:59,600
If God wanted two sides to
create these the one who does

642
00:43:59,600 –> 00:44:02,100
create and he’s the only one I
can do over those two things

643
00:44:02,400 –> 00:44:06,900
what that’s effectively saying
use that God is everything

644
00:44:08,000 –> 00:44:12,300
because there’s nothing else In
that process what else can come

645
00:44:12,300 –> 00:44:15,900
out of that process Gotham
decision by The Godly action

646
00:44:15,900 –> 00:44:18,300
with the duo there’s nothing
else there.

647
00:44:18,500 –> 00:44:22,600
But God the only thing that can
come out of the process like

648
00:44:22,600 –> 00:44:24,400
that is God.
There’s nothing else.

649
00:44:24,700 –> 00:44:29,300
There’s no other input into it.
It’s just all God, and that’s

650
00:44:29,300 –> 00:44:35,900
the reason But the site’s queue
for giving him all the glory for

651
00:44:36,100 –> 00:44:42,000
an old pair he decided to create
and he did create there’s

652
00:44:42,000 –> 00:44:45,100
nothing independent.
God is nothing outside of God.

653
00:44:45,100 –> 00:44:49,300
God is absolutely everything.
There’s no other ingredient in

654
00:44:49,300 –> 00:44:53,000
that process than God.
So God is everything.

655
00:44:54,500 –> 00:44:57,800
Everybody Must Be why the God
and that’s the answer.

656
00:44:59,300 –> 00:45:01,900
And it might remind you of don’t
clean it up.

657
00:45:01,900 –> 00:45:05,800
But when Paul says in First
Corinthians 15 verse 28 that one

658
00:45:05,800 –> 00:45:13,800
day God, he says will be all in
all four is Valen inputs that

659
00:45:13,800 –> 00:45:16,200
he’ll be all things.
You know.

660
00:45:16,300 –> 00:45:19,300
God will be he won’t just be in
everything.

661
00:45:21,400 –> 00:45:23,900
Please leave everything there,
but he’s not the only thing and

662
00:45:23,900 –> 00:45:26,100
everything because there’s a lot
of things in my life, but are

663
00:45:26,100 –> 00:45:30,100
not God.
Why couldn’t say that God is

664
00:45:30,100 –> 00:45:35,200
everything that’s in me.
Oh that were the case one day by

665
00:45:35,200 –> 00:45:37,300
God’s grace and will be buried
in the Kingdom age.

666
00:45:37,400 –> 00:45:39,900
He will be everything that’s in
everything.

667
00:45:40,600 –> 00:45:43,100
There’ll be nothing in anything.
That’s not God.

668
00:45:44,200 –> 00:45:47,100
He will be all and in all and
that’s what those Saints are

669
00:45:47,100 –> 00:45:51,000
saying.
You decided you created your

670
00:45:51,000 –> 00:45:53,200
totally responsible for
everything you got there’s no

671
00:45:53,200 –> 00:45:57,100
other input at all from anything
else you are everything and

672
00:45:57,100 –> 00:46:02,300
that’s why we give you the glory
the honor and that the prize and

673
00:46:02,300 –> 00:46:05,100
that’s why Side God you are
worthy.

674
00:46:05,200 –> 00:46:10,300
You’ve got the ultimate word.
The ultimate workers is nothing

675
00:46:10,300 –> 00:46:14,600
else that’s worth anything.
Nothing else exists to have a

676
00:46:14,607 –> 00:46:22,100
baby besides God.
Yeah, that’s pretty daunting

677
00:46:22,100 –> 00:46:24,000
isn’t anything about that you
think well.

678
00:46:26,600 –> 00:46:30,300
That’s that’s a pretty high
level of worshipping or not.

679
00:46:30,300 –> 00:46:34,100
Think well, okay.
Yes, possibly that’s in the

680
00:46:34,100 –> 00:46:38,800
Kingdom own.
But this is you feel like that

681
00:46:38,800 –> 00:46:41,300
mayor.
You might not feel what we feel.

682
00:46:41,900 –> 00:46:45,100
We might not prove might think
well, I’ll feel like that then

683
00:46:45,100 –> 00:46:48,700
but that doesn’t mean I have to
feel like that now just think

684
00:46:48,700 –> 00:46:51,000
about this.
I was drinking a little passive,

685
00:46:51,300 –> 00:46:56,300
but brother Robert Roberts wrote
in seasons of come later in 1790

686
00:46:56,300 –> 00:46:58,000
wrote.
This is for short look both.

687
00:46:58,900 –> 00:47:02,400
He said the equator of Christ
ought to represent on a small

688
00:47:02,400 –> 00:47:05,600
scale what will be dominant when
priced homes?

689
00:47:06,000 –> 00:47:09,500
We are called on to that Kingdom
and therefore we ought to show

690
00:47:09,500 –> 00:47:14,000
those characteristics that will
begin making all the rejoices in

691
00:47:14,000 –> 00:47:18,600
the truth and praising God that
will be the universal law then

692
00:47:19,200 –> 00:47:22,200
bought to be visible in our
assembly now.

693
00:47:22,800 –> 00:47:26,400
We ought to be the kingdom of
God in miniature.

694
00:47:28,600 –> 00:47:33,200
So we sit back and think about
all that you think well, how am

695
00:47:33,200 –> 00:47:36,100
I going to respond to that we
could respond to that?

696
00:47:37,500 –> 00:47:39,300
You can respond in a negative
way to that.

697
00:47:39,300 –> 00:47:41,700
You could think well, that’s
that’s very very golden.

698
00:47:42,000 –> 00:47:46,600
I find that that’s a very high
level of spirituality Way Beyond

699
00:47:46,600 –> 00:47:49,100
me.
I’m not there never have been

700
00:47:49,500 –> 00:47:51,800
that sense of getting there to
be frank.

701
00:47:51,800 –> 00:47:55,200
I just I find that to be totally
outside my experience.

702
00:47:56,500 –> 00:48:00,300
What daunted by that verbs?
But you think about the other

703
00:48:00,300 –> 00:48:07,100
way more positive perspective
thinking how did Ray free a

704
00:48:07,100 –> 00:48:11,100
verse like that is what that
verse is saying Revelation 14

705
00:48:11,100 –> 00:48:14,100
verse 11.
It’s saying to us that we don’t

706
00:48:14,100 –> 00:48:19,700
need to worry about so many of
the things that we worry about

707
00:48:19,700 –> 00:48:23,300
in life.
So many of the things that we

708
00:48:23,300 –> 00:48:27,200
sitting at home worrying about
in life are simply not worth it.

709
00:48:27,700 –> 00:48:34,200
They don’t have the They are not
worthy of are worried.

710
00:48:35,700 –> 00:48:41,000
We did worship two things that
are simply not worthy of the

711
00:48:41,000 –> 00:48:43,800
time and the worry that we give
them.

712
00:48:45,500 –> 00:48:48,900
Now we need things in life.
We know we need money to survive

713
00:48:48,900 –> 00:48:52,900
in their job will go through
their head of a family that are

714
00:48:52,900 –> 00:48:55,700
supposed to provide for that
family.

715
00:48:56,800 –> 00:49:01,200
But we devote so much of your
time and attention and our

716
00:49:01,200 –> 00:49:08,100
worry, so things outside of
those responsibilities and a lot

717
00:49:08,100 –> 00:49:10,800
of times it’s done because we
see everywhere else doing it

718
00:49:10,900 –> 00:49:14,300
outside there who even inside
the thing that well I guess I

719
00:49:14,308 –> 00:49:18,000
should too.
I suppose I should do that too.

720
00:49:18,800 –> 00:49:21,500
I suppose it would be wrong and
make a sort of separate myself

721
00:49:21,500 –> 00:49:24,100
from all those things.
They need to be part of my life

722
00:49:24,100 –> 00:49:26,200
too.
And that goes to say they don’t

723
00:49:26,200 –> 00:49:29,000
need to be part of your body.
You don’t need to worry about me

724
00:49:29,100 –> 00:49:32,800
and you can just free yourselves
on them because the slot weapon

725
00:49:33,600 –> 00:49:37,900
they don’t have to work.
Then I was sufficient enough

726
00:49:37,900 –> 00:49:43,000
prize for you to worry about
it’s a very very liberating

727
00:49:43,000 –> 00:49:48,700
verse it frees us from so much
that burns and ways, there are

728
00:49:48,700 –> 00:49:53,700
so many people on this Earth.
We never have to worry about

729
00:49:53,700 –> 00:49:56,700
some things because they’re just
not worth it.

730
00:49:57,800 –> 00:50:01,700
That verse just simply
simplifies your life.

731
00:50:01,700 –> 00:50:05,300
Doesn’t it before it can do it
can just remove all the Clutter

732
00:50:05,300 –> 00:50:09,200
from your life and just learned
what’s important.

733
00:50:09,500 –> 00:50:14,500
The only thing that has any work
and that’s God for wonderful

734
00:50:14,500 –> 00:50:19,100
verse Revelation 4 and verse 11
is how just want to close with

735
00:50:19,100 –> 00:50:23,600
this thought.
But I think it’s good to think

736
00:50:23,700 –> 00:50:26,500
good to sort of recognize this
the in our everyday life in the

737
00:50:26,500 –> 00:50:28,600
truth in all of our lives in the
truth.

738
00:50:28,600 –> 00:50:33,100
We all have ups and downs.
We all have simple highs and

739
00:50:33,100 –> 00:50:37,100
lows in life.
So what if the moment you’re

740
00:50:37,100 –> 00:50:40,700
feeling a bit low or you might
not even feeling what I’m

741
00:50:41,000 –> 00:50:45,500
feeling low, it’s just that you
don’t quite feel like those

742
00:50:45,500 –> 00:50:48,600
verses that we’ve read.
We’ve reversing that they’re the

743
00:50:48,600 –> 00:50:51,900
same as saying God will move.
Nobody else on Earth can be used

744
00:50:51,900 –> 00:50:54,500
with your talking with the
action and we made those persons

745
00:50:55,100 –> 00:50:58,200
and it would be amazing if they
were not a lot of people in this

746
00:50:58,200 –> 00:51:03,600
room.
We right now thinking sure I

747
00:51:03,607 –> 00:51:07,400
feel like that I really
beautiful word that I get really

748
00:51:08,100 –> 00:51:12,200
into into that feel about have
that feeling all of us from time

749
00:51:12,200 –> 00:51:16,900
to time life sometimes but long
periods of time can just feel

750
00:51:16,900 –> 00:51:21,000
totally removed for that think I
think it’s a beautiful thought

751
00:51:21,600 –> 00:51:26,500
that it just just not the way of
feel at the moment.

752
00:51:28,200 –> 00:51:31,900
So what are we doing you do if
you let why what’s the answer to

753
00:51:31,900 –> 00:51:36,600
that problem?
Well, I don’t think the answer

754
00:51:36,600 –> 00:51:40,200
is just to keep using word
worship and praise 1 by hope

755
00:51:40,200 –> 00:51:44,100
you’ll click and they’ll start
to mean something to us.

756
00:51:45,400 –> 00:51:49,000
And if we think of crazy things
that we generally don’t trays

757
00:51:49,000 –> 00:51:52,900
things as a way of making us
like it happens the other way

758
00:51:52,900 –> 00:51:56,300
round in like something we value
something and the praise just

759
00:51:56,300 –> 00:52:01,300
naturally follows from that.
We then talk ourselves into

760
00:52:01,300 –> 00:52:03,800
loving things doesn’t seem to
work that way.

761
00:52:03,900 –> 00:52:07,400
I’m not suggesting that we just
sort of feel ourselves into a

762
00:52:07,400 –> 00:52:11,100
gone never use words like that
until we feel like it because we

763
00:52:11,100 –> 00:52:13,200
might be waiting very long time
for that to happen.

764
00:52:14,100 –> 00:52:18,500
Three-point feels you feel right
now that your heart’s not really

765
00:52:19,000 –> 00:52:21,800
in that in your worship and
praise the you’re not really

766
00:52:21,800 –> 00:52:24,400
feeling that passion in your
life.

767
00:52:24,500 –> 00:52:27,500
There’s only one reason that’s
happened and that is because we

768
00:52:27,500 –> 00:52:33,300
have lost sight of gods value.
After all, we’re all praising

769
00:52:33,300 –> 00:52:36,000
lots of things.
Well, if you think there’s a lot

770
00:52:36,000 –> 00:52:38,900
I don’t know that wherever we
could Praise of God you’d be

771
00:52:38,900 –> 00:52:41,900
president of other things.
So we’re all in life all sorts

772
00:52:41,900 –> 00:52:43,700
of things.
You’ve done hundreds of times

773
00:52:43,700 –> 00:52:46,400
today.
You’ve completed this phrase

774
00:52:46,400 –> 00:52:49,500
that said this is wonderful
really wonderful time here.

775
00:52:50,100 –> 00:52:52,800
So we’re very good at getting a
prize.

776
00:52:53,600 –> 00:52:57,900
The issue is what do we actually
value in life?

777
00:52:58,400 –> 00:53:02,700
We perhaps have lost soul.
What a prize got he’s going to

778
00:53:02,700 –> 00:53:06,100
turn up one passage to finish
that I think is very helpful in

779
00:53:06,100 –> 00:53:08,200
that regard and that is Psalm
63.

780
00:53:10,800 –> 00:53:14,200
Not complicated at all this one
very very simple.

781
00:53:15,900 –> 00:53:18,900
That I think if we’re going to
be realistic.

782
00:53:20,700 –> 00:53:24,800
All of us do not feel like that
all the time.

783
00:53:25,500 –> 00:53:30,400
We just do not.
And we can go through some quite

784
00:53:30,400 –> 00:53:35,800
flat here is now life and Truth.
Yeah 763 read before.

785
00:53:37,200 –> 00:53:41,200
So the first part of this is
such a diverse about Pride.

786
00:53:41,600 –> 00:53:45,900
I got them at my God early.
Will I seek the myself first of

787
00:53:46,100 –> 00:53:50,200
for me and my flesh longeth for
thee in a dry and thirsty for

788
00:53:50,200 –> 00:53:54,100
land where no water.
He’s to Sido para my glory so as

789
00:53:54,100 –> 00:53:57,600
I’ve seen the in the century
because thy loving-kindness is

790
00:53:57,600 –> 00:54:00,500
better than life.
My lips shall praise thee thus

791
00:54:00,500 –> 00:54:03,800
will I bless me while I live I
will lift up my hands in my

792
00:54:03,800 –> 00:54:06,500
name.
My soul shall be satisfied as

793
00:54:06,500 –> 00:54:09,200
with And fatness in my mouth
shall praise thee with

794
00:54:09,200 –> 00:54:11,700
joyfulness and we might read
those verses been.

795
00:54:11,700 –> 00:54:13,800
Well, there we go.
Again, that’s another beautiful

796
00:54:13,800 –> 00:54:17,000
passage.
But if I’m totally honest with

797
00:54:17,000 –> 00:54:22,700
myself, that’s not the way I
feel that when the cats but I

798
00:54:22,700 –> 00:54:27,100
don’t really feel that level of
passion towards God that the bug

799
00:54:27,200 –> 00:54:31,400
net good reasons.
The passage doesn’t end there

800
00:54:32,600 –> 00:54:35,700
because you least in the
authorized version verse 5 ends

801
00:54:35,700 –> 00:54:38,600
with a coelom.
So it’s not a full stop.

802
00:54:38,900 –> 00:54:40,900
It’s not just the whole
wonderful verses and having our

803
00:54:40,900 –> 00:54:43,600
well, I’m feeling all that again
because that’s not well fear.

804
00:54:43,700 –> 00:54:45,700
No the sentence hasn’t finished
yet.

805
00:54:46,100 –> 00:54:51,100
And what David says is I feel
this way I feel is were bit.

806
00:54:51,100 –> 00:54:53,400
Goddamn offering all this praise
to God is wonderful.

807
00:54:53,400 –> 00:54:59,800
The only thing in my life.
This seems when I remember the

808
00:55:00,100 –> 00:55:04,500
upon my bed and meditate on the
in the night watches.

809
00:55:07,200 –> 00:55:09,700
So he doesn’t put a full stop at
the end of this five because

810
00:55:09,700 –> 00:55:11,400
what he’s doing is he’s telling
us.

811
00:55:12,600 –> 00:55:15,800
What he does to make him feel
like that.

812
00:55:16,800 –> 00:55:19,400
And he’s saying to us, I feel
like that about God.

813
00:55:21,000 –> 00:55:25,900
When I think about God.
When I find a bit of time on my

814
00:55:25,900 –> 00:55:31,800
own if you just ignore him big
and I remember God that’s when I

815
00:55:31,800 –> 00:55:37,600
feel like this is one too far.
Nothing, that’s a Magnificent

816
00:55:37,600 –> 00:55:41,500
Passage because what verse 6 is
doing its qualifying this one

817
00:55:41,500 –> 00:55:44,600
too far.
So we read those verses one the

818
00:55:44,600 –> 00:55:46,600
phone think I don’t feel like
that.

819
00:55:48,100 –> 00:55:52,700
David says well, I didn’t feel
like that when I take the time

820
00:55:53,200 –> 00:55:59,400
to think about God.
We all know that we have landed

821
00:55:59,400 –> 00:56:02,300
in Europe, which is the most
distracted.

822
00:56:03,900 –> 00:56:08,300
Save this world ever done.
And we have get all the time.

823
00:56:08,300 –> 00:56:11,300
It’s just someone else going out
of that technology and all the

824
00:56:11,300 –> 00:56:15,500
distractions of this life.
But the fact of the matter is if

825
00:56:15,500 –> 00:56:19,800
we don’t take the time find the
time some of them.

826
00:56:20,900 –> 00:56:24,100
To do this 6 and think about
God.

827
00:56:25,600 –> 00:56:29,700
Think about God think about it
God that we cannot see when our

828
00:56:29,700 –> 00:56:32,900
love for God will definitely
grow coffee.

829
00:56:37,500 –> 00:56:41,700
It will go and they won’t feel
the passion of this one thought.

830
00:56:43,500 –> 00:56:46,200
This is exactly happens.
This front will spawn the

831
00:56:46,200 –> 00:56:51,100
following happens after the 630
himself soon.

832
00:56:51,500 –> 00:56:54,700
So remember when you think about
God because the good news, he’s

833
00:56:54,700 –> 00:57:01,300
very good news is that all of us
can do that move over instead of

834
00:57:01,300 –> 00:57:04,200
the ability to think about
something and remember

835
00:57:04,200 –> 00:57:05,100
something.
That’s what he says.

836
00:57:05,100 –> 00:57:08,500
When I remember when I think now
we’re going to throw it doesn’t

837
00:57:08,500 –> 00:57:12,300
have the ability to think and to
remember we can all do that.

838
00:57:13,000 –> 00:57:16,600
Because we love the whole look
so all can be first to go

839
00:57:16,600 –> 00:57:21,100
because I’m not a serious person
or you don’t know how to study

840
00:57:21,100 –> 00:57:23,200
the Bible.
My room is not set up for it

841
00:57:23,200 –> 00:57:25,000
opened up a book.
So that light reading.

842
00:57:26,500 –> 00:57:29,700
You’re always excuse.
The reason we can’t get close to

843
00:57:29,700 –> 00:57:35,900
God the fact of the matter is.
Pool vast majority of God’s sake

844
00:57:35,900 –> 00:57:39,000
throughout the ages have not
been able to wiggle.

845
00:57:39,000 –> 00:57:44,400
Right most of the people in the
Kingdom probably won’t deliver

846
00:57:44,400 –> 00:57:46,300
then under the read or write in
their lifetime.

847
00:57:48,700 –> 00:57:54,300
Barely relatively recent thing
is started the just a matter of

848
00:57:54,300 –> 00:57:57,600
mutual.
Simon can’t use that as an

849
00:57:57,600 –> 00:57:59,900
excuse.
That’s not sign that read the

850
00:57:59,900 –> 00:58:03,000
bottle are we’ve got the ability
and access to the bottom.

851
00:58:03,000 –> 00:58:05,900
We should use that but don’t
ever use those things as an

852
00:58:05,900 –> 00:58:09,300
excuse not to get close to God
as David said all I had to do

853
00:58:09,400 –> 00:58:12,700
was thief and remember all this
can do that.

854
00:58:12,900 –> 00:58:17,000
I’m just going to find which
time to do now.

855
00:58:17,000 –> 00:58:19,700
We might people what my own
think about who’s going to sit

856
00:58:20,100 –> 00:58:24,500
out of a log somewhere.
I just explained the photo of

857
00:58:24,500 –> 00:58:26,900
the think of it.
Well the sound tells what think

858
00:58:26,900 –> 00:58:30,500
about what a diamond think about
a teaspoon of cinnamon because

859
00:58:30,500 –> 00:58:33,900
there has been my help.
Therefore the shadow of thy

860
00:58:33,900 –> 00:58:39,500
Wings Over Joyce myself follow
hard after thee thy right hand

861
00:58:39,700 –> 00:58:42,200
up hold of me.
So what we’re going to do think

862
00:58:42,200 –> 00:58:44,100
about the blessings.
God has given us that’s what

863
00:58:44,100 –> 00:58:47,000
they would say there.
I think about what you’ve done

864
00:58:47,000 –> 00:58:51,000
to help me.
Do you think of your life in the

865
00:58:51,000 –> 00:58:54,900
truth?
You just sit down find some time

866
00:58:54,900 –> 00:58:59,400
to think about what God has put
into your life the friendships

867
00:58:59,400 –> 00:59:01,200
that he’s put into your life
that you wouldn’t have had.

868
00:59:01,200 –> 00:59:05,900
Otherwise the people, you know
from far and wide the lifelong

869
00:59:05,900 –> 00:59:10,100
bond that you’ve got.
A weekend like this.

870
00:59:11,700 –> 00:59:16,100
The stability that you have in a
world that is absolutely

871
00:59:16,200 –> 00:59:19,700
completely confused and
uncertain about her candidate.

872
00:59:21,600 –> 00:59:24,100
And you’ve got a rock-solid
stability in her life.

873
00:59:25,500 –> 00:59:28,500
That’s some medicine for that
forgiveness for your sin

874
00:59:28,500 –> 00:59:29,600
product.
Think the better.

875
00:59:31,600 –> 00:59:35,500
Probably the fact that God,
absolutely Delights.

876
00:59:36,600 –> 00:59:41,300
In forgiving you for Witnesses
in your life that have tried you

877
00:59:42,400 –> 00:59:48,100
for years and still do.
Things that you’ve done in your

878
00:59:48,100 –> 00:59:54,000
life over and over and over
again hundreds of times maybe

879
00:59:54,000 –> 00:59:58,500
thousands of times.
But you struggle.

880
01:00:00,700 –> 01:00:02,500
Trying to beat yourself about
problem.

881
01:00:02,600 –> 01:00:08,000
So know that God is a God who
did a lot stiffer give those

882
01:00:08,000 –> 01:00:11,700
things.
That’s worth sitting there one

883
01:00:11,700 –> 01:00:12,900
line.
Just thinking of anything.

884
01:00:14,600 –> 01:00:19,200
And of course the – he is well
worth meditate upon it and

885
01:00:19,200 –> 01:00:23,200
remember and don’t say when I
take the time to think about all

886
01:00:23,200 –> 01:00:27,300
that.
Then the feelings that I wrote

887
01:00:27,600 –> 01:00:33,600
verses 1 to 5 just naturally
well up inside me in response

888
01:00:33,600 –> 01:00:39,400
for what God has done for them
and we know more about what

889
01:00:39,400 –> 01:00:42,600
God’s done for us to leave him
David because we’ve seen the

890
01:00:42,600 –> 01:00:48,500
Lord Jesus Christ.
Why are you frustrated that we

891
01:00:48,500 –> 01:00:52,700
simply don’t have the feelings
to God that we know that we

892
01:00:52,700 –> 01:00:56,900
should?
Then a Simple Start is just to

893
01:00:56,900 –> 01:01:01,100
find of the time.
That night or early in the

894
01:01:01,100 –> 01:01:05,700
morning for great time just to
sit down and think about God.

895
01:01:07,000 –> 01:01:10,200
Don’t worry books there.
You might not even necessarily

896
01:01:10,200 –> 01:01:13,800
Bible in front of you, but you
just sit there and think about

897
01:01:13,800 –> 01:01:19,500
what he’s done in your life.
And that will start you on the

898
01:01:19,500 –> 01:01:24,800
road towards feeling like David
did in this wonderful five of

899
01:01:24,800 –> 01:01:27,500
Psalm 63.
I use the term you include

900
01:01:27,500 –> 01:01:31,400
myself in that as well follow us
all of us need to do that.

901
01:01:32,700 –> 01:01:36,100
The more we know God, but we
came to know the more we will

902
01:01:36,100 –> 01:01:40,700
see how much greater years and
everything else in life is worth

903
01:01:40,700 –> 01:01:47,300
is greater, and he’s a greater
prize. worship and praise we

904
01:01:47,300 –> 01:01:50,700
will find as we already know for
the deliver happiness times in

905
01:01:50,700 –> 01:01:54,200
our life irrespective of
whatever trials we’re going

906
01:01:54,200 –> 01:01:57,900
through that happiest times in
their life or the times when we

907
01:01:57,900 –> 01:02:03,300
are sitting close to God when we
think about what Revelation for

908
01:02:03,300 –> 01:02:08,300
told us about are joyful, and
about how excited those Saints

909
01:02:08,300 –> 01:02:12,700
will do and we will be in the
kingdom when they’re worshiping

910
01:02:12,700 –> 01:02:17,100
and praising God what glorious
and magnificent tribute who were

911
01:02:17,100 –> 01:02:24,000
vague of God today if the
happiest people on earth the

912
01:02:24,000 –> 01:02:29,800
kingdom of God in miniature you
and I who can’t wait for the day

913
01:02:30,000 –> 01:02:32,600
when God will be everything in
everything.
