Lord Revive Us · Stornoway Free Church of Scotland - Sermons

0:00
We'll begin our worship this evening by singing to God's praise.
0:03
We're singing in Psalm 27 in the Singed Psalms, page 31 of the Psalm books.
0:10
I'm going to sing from verse 1 to the end of verse 5.
0:14
The tune is Jackson.
0:16
The Lord's my Saviour and my light, who will make me dismayed?
0:21
The Lord's the stronghold of my life, why should I be afraid?
0:25
When evildoers threaten me to take my life away,
0:28
my adversaries and my foes will stumble in that day.
0:32
And so on.
0:33
We sing from verse 1 to the end of verse 5 to God's praise.
0:58
The Lord's the stronghold of my life, why should I be afraid?
1:09
When evildoers threaten me to take my life away,
1:24
my adversaries and my foes will stumble in that day.
1:38
Although an army hence be in, my heart will feel no dread.
1:54
Though war against me should arise, I will lift up my head.
2:09
One thing I plead before the Lord, and this I seek always,
2:24
that I may come within your sight, and dwell there all my days.
2:40
That I know the beauty of the Lord, I constantly may raise.
2:56
And in His heart may seek to know direction in His grace.
3:11
For in His dwelling He will keep, be safe in troubled ways.
3:26
Within His dwelling He will keep, be safe in that day.
3:46
Let's bow our heads in a word of prayer.
3:48
Let us pray.
3:51
Lord our God, our Father in heaven, as we come to worship You this evening hour,
3:56
we thank You that it is through You that we come.
4:00
We approach You in and through the name of Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
4:05
We come seeking Your glory.
4:07
We come seeking Your presence with us.
4:11
We come seeking not anything for ourselves that we may glorify in,
4:16
but that we would seek to glorify more and more in You as our Lord and as our God.
4:23
For You are the one who keeps us.
4:25
You are the one who watches over us.
4:28
And as the psalm in which we have been singing reminds us,
4:31
when there are times when we can feel overwhelmed by the enemies around us,
4:36
when we can feel, O Lord, the power of wickedness so surrounding us,
4:42
we thank You that there is the promise that You are a God who surrounds His people,
4:47
that You are a God who keeps His people.
4:51
And we pray, Lord, that we will have that longing of the psalmist,
4:55
that we would come into Your presence, gazing on Your beauty,
4:59
and knowing what it is, Lord, to see Your power and to know it in Your own Son, Jesus Christ.
5:07
We pray, Lord, that through Your Spirit and You this evening,
5:11
we will know Your power ministering to us through word and spirit alike,
5:16
that You will hear our prayers,
5:18
that You will bless our time of worship,
5:20
that You will be with us in the singing of our praise to You, Lord.
5:25
We pray, Lord, that You will lead us in that and lead the one who is over us in the praise too,
5:30
that, Lord, we would lift our voices together
5:33
and unite our hearts in praise and worship of You.
5:38
We thank You that You are the one who keeps us safe in troubled days,
5:42
as the psalmist says, and that You raise us on a rock.
5:46
We thank You that the rock of Your church, of Your people,
5:50
is Your Son, Christ Jesus,
5:52
and that in Him there is nothing that can move Your church,
5:57
nothing that can overwhelm it.
5:59
For we have the security of His finished works.
6:03
We have the security of His victory over all things.
6:07
And so we pray, Lord, that You will keep us as Your people,
6:11
that You will help us to come,
6:14
throw near to You day by day,
6:16
that we would seek, Lord, Your reviving power
6:19
in our own hearts and in all around us,
6:22
that we would see Your glory
6:24
in our land and in our people.
6:27
We do thank You, Lord, for Your cause
6:30
and how it is a cause that goes far and wide.
6:35
It is not our cause to just people around us here,
6:38
but it's Your cause, it's Your gospel,
6:41
Your call to people of all nations and all tribes.
6:44
And we do thank You and rejoice, Lord,
6:47
that You have Your people
6:49
in every corner of this world.
6:52
And when we think of the vastness of the world
6:55
and all that You have created,
6:57
when we think of the universe that surrounds us
6:59
and the wonder of it
7:01
and how more and more,
7:03
through the advancement of technology,
7:05
we're enabled to see further into the galaxies.
7:09
Help us, Lord, to see the beauty of the Lord in that,
7:13
the one who has created it.
7:15
For we know that so often we seek after our own ideas.
7:21
And even in these scientists
7:24
and all who are seeking to explore the universe
7:27
and the galaxies,
7:28
they seek to do it in a way
7:30
that they will find an answer
7:32
to that deep question of where it all began.
7:35
They come at it with their own theories.
7:37
They come at it with their own ideas,
7:40
believing they have the answers already.
7:42
But as You have so often done in the past,
7:45
may You do so again in these days,
7:47
that You would reveal Yourself to them
7:50
through the wonder of Your creation,
7:53
that as people seek in their own wisdom,
7:56
that they would come to recognize
7:57
that Your wisdom is far above
7:59
and that Your ways are far above.
8:02
And we pray, Lord,
8:03
that it will minister to us as a people,
8:06
from the least to the greatest,
8:08
that we would see that behind it all
8:10
is our Maker,
8:12
our God,
8:13
the one who spoke all things into being,
8:17
and the God who cares for His people,
8:20
the God who in the midst of the vastness
8:22
of this universe
8:23
sees each of us
8:25
and knows us all by name.
8:28
And we pray, Lord,
8:29
that we will marvel at You,
8:31
that we will come in awe of You
8:33
for who You are,
8:35
and yet Your intimate knowledge of us.
8:38
You are God and Lord,
8:40
and yet we can come and call You
8:41
our Father in Heaven.
8:44
And so help Your people far and wide
8:46
to approach You with confidence
8:48
to come through that name above every name,
8:52
that every people who pray
8:54
would come and pray through the name
8:56
of the Lord Jesus Christ,
8:59
and that You will hear our prayers,
9:01
that You will hear the cries of Your people,
9:03
the cries, you know,
9:04
the psalm that we will look at this evening,
9:07
will You not again revive us,
9:09
that Your people may rejoice in You.
9:13
So may You bring glory to Your name
9:15
throughout this world.
9:17
May Your people praise You
9:19
far and wide.
9:21
May people, even on this day,
9:22
even this evening,
9:23
as Your Word is proclaimed
9:25
throughout so many different places,
9:28
may people come under the conviction of it
9:30
and the power of Your Spirit
9:32
and cry out,
9:33
Lord, have mercy on me as sinner.
9:36
So Lord, may You hear all our prayers
9:39
and hear our prayers for one another too
9:42
as we commit ourselves into Your hands,
9:45
that as a people,
9:46
as homes and communities, Lord,
9:49
we would know Your blessing with us,
9:51
that we would know Your great help with us,
9:54
for we know, Lord,
9:55
the many needs around us.
9:56
We know, Lord,
9:58
that so many are going through
10:00
so many hard trials at this time,
10:03
trials of illness,
10:05
trials of mental health,
10:07
trials with grief and sorrow and anguish,
10:10
trials of so many different kinds.
10:14
And Lord,
10:14
when we feel our great weakness
10:16
in these things,
10:18
when we feel that we have no words
10:20
to comfort or to help,
10:22
we thank You that we can come
10:24
to You as Lord and God
10:26
and pray that we can come
10:28
and call upon Your name,
10:30
knowing that You can do abundantly more
10:32
than all we ask or imagine.
10:35
And that in every situation, Lord,
10:37
even as we think of the course
10:39
that is to run soon,
10:41
hope explored,
10:42
we thank You for that great word,
10:44
hope.
10:45
And in a world and a time
10:47
when so much seems hopeless,
10:49
we pray, Lord,
10:50
that the life,
10:52
the death,
10:52
and the resurrection
10:53
of our Lord and Saviour,
10:55
Jesus Christ,
10:56
would bring hope to many,
10:58
that they would come to realize,
11:00
Lord,
11:00
that despite all the difficulties
11:02
of this world,
11:04
all the sorrows and pains,
11:06
that here is but for a moment,
11:09
but Lord,
11:10
there is an eternity before us all.
11:13
And for all of Your people,
11:15
all who You have called,
11:16
we know the wonder of that eternity,
11:20
to be with our Lord and Saviour
11:21
for it all,
11:23
to see His beauty,
11:25
to gaze upon Him,
11:27
and to know, Lord,
11:28
the blessing of that time
11:30
when He will wipe away all our tears,
11:33
when He will restore all His people,
11:37
and when He will give
11:38
the many blessings promised
11:40
through His Word.
11:42
And above all, Lord,
11:43
that peace and that glory
11:45
to see Him as He is.
11:48
So, Lord,
11:49
we ask that You will help us
11:50
to look to You at all times,
11:53
to remember one another,
11:55
to keep on praying,
11:57
not to lose heart,
11:58
and not to lose hope.
12:00
And so we pray for one another.
12:02
We pray for Your church
12:04
throughout our islands here.
12:05
May You bless us, Lord,
12:07
as a people,
12:08
as we are encouraged,
12:09
O Lord,
12:10
with another new ministry to begin
12:12
in our presbytery as well.
12:14
We remember Your servant,
12:16
Donald McLeod,
12:17
who will soon be inducted
12:19
into North Tolstair,
12:20
God willing.
12:21
We pray for him
12:22
as he prepares for that,
12:24
and as the congregation prepares too.
12:27
May we continue to remember them prayerfully,
12:30
seeking Your blessing over them,
12:32
and upon that new ministry
12:33
as it begins,
12:35
that Your people will be encouraged,
12:37
and that Your blessing
12:39
will be on them all.
12:40
Remember,
12:41
Donald and Emma too,
12:42
as they prepare
12:43
for their marriage as well
12:45
in these coming months,
12:46
Lord.
12:46
May You bless them
12:47
and be with them
12:48
in all that they need to do for that.
12:50
We pray that together
12:51
You will encourage them, Lord,
12:53
and watch over them.
12:55
So be with us, Lord,
12:56
as a people.
12:57
Look down upon us
12:58
and go before us
13:00
into the week ahead.
13:01
May we seek to do all
13:02
for Your glory,
13:04
and may we know
13:04
Your presence with us, Lord,
13:06
day by day.
13:07
Guide us by Your light,
13:09
and keep us
13:10
as the apple of Your eye.
13:12
As we confess,
13:13
O Lord,
13:14
our sin before You and You,
13:16
we ask forgiveness, Lord,
13:18
and mercy upon us
13:19
as a people,
13:21
undeserving as we are.
13:22
We thank You
13:23
that in Christ
13:24
there is much forgiveness.
13:26
So bless us,
13:27
go before us,
13:28
and continue with us now
13:29
as we commit
13:30
all these things
13:31
to You in prayer,
13:33
in and through the name
13:34
of our Lord and Saviour,
13:35
Jesus Christ,
13:36
for His glory.
13:38
Amen.
13:39
We'll further sing
13:42
to God's praise,
13:43
this time in Psalm 89
13:44
in the Scottish Psalter,
13:47
page 345 of the psalm books.
13:51
Psalm 89,
13:53
singing at verse 13,
13:55
down to verse 18,
13:58
the tune is
13:59
Tramps and Hawkers.
14:01
Psalm 89 at verse 13.
14:03
Thou hast an arm
14:05
that's full of power,
14:07
thy hand is great in might,
14:09
and thy right hand
14:10
exceedingly exalted
14:11
is in height.
14:13
We'll sing from verse 13
14:15
down to verse 18
14:16
to God's praise.
14:18
ór
14:48
and judgment
14:50
of thy throne
14:52
are made
14:54
the wedding
14:56
grace.
14:58
Mercy
14:59
accompanied
15:01
when true
15:04
shall go
15:05
before thy face.
15:10
O great
15:12
we bless
15:13
the people of
15:16
the joyful
15:18
Son that
15:20
know.
15:22
In brightness
15:24
of thy face,
15:26
O Lord,
15:28
they ever
15:30
on shall go.
15:33
In
15:34
thy name
15:36
shall all
15:38
the day rejoice
15:40
exceeding
15:42
me.
15:44
And in
15:46
thy righteousness
15:48
shall
15:50
lay
15:51
exalted
15:52
be on
15:54
high.
15:57
Because
15:58
the glory
16:00
of their
16:02
strength
16:03
doth only
16:05
stand in
16:07
me,
16:08
and in
16:10
thy
16:11
favor
16:12
shall
16:13
form
16:15
and
16:16
power
16:16
exalted
16:18
be.
16:20
For God
16:22
is our
16:24
defense
16:25
and
16:26
he
16:26
to us
16:28
the
16:29
safety
16:30
bring.
16:31
king,
16:32
the
16:33
holy
16:34
one
16:35
of
16:36
Israel
16:37
is
16:39
our
16:40
almighty
16:41
king.
16:43
Amen.
16:50
If we can
16:51
come and read
16:51
together now
16:52
in God's
16:53
word.
16:53
We're reading
16:53
in the book
16:54
of Psalms.
16:56
I'm reading
16:56
in Psalm
16:57
85.
16:58
Psalm
17:01
85.
17:05
We can
17:05
read the
17:07
whole of
17:07
this
17:07
psalm
17:08
together.
17:12
Lord,
17:13
you were
17:13
favorable to
17:14
your land.
17:15
You
17:15
restored
17:16
the
17:17
fortunes
17:17
of
17:18
Jacob.
17:19
You
17:19
forgave
17:20
the
17:20
iniquity
17:20
of
17:21
your
17:21
people.
17:22
You
17:22
covered
17:23
all
17:23
their
17:24
sin.
17:25
You
17:25
withdrew
17:26
all
17:26
your
17:26
wrath.
17:27
You
17:28
turned
17:28
from
17:29
your
17:29
heart
17:29
anger.
17:31
Restore
17:32
us
17:32
again,
17:33
O God,
17:33
of our
17:34
salvation,
17:35
and put
17:36
away
17:36
your
17:37
indignation
17:38
towards
17:38
us.
17:39
Will
17:40
you be
17:40
angry
17:41
with us
17:41
forever?
17:43
Will
17:43
you prolong
17:44
your anger
17:44
to all
17:45
generations?
17:47
Will
17:47
you not
17:48
revive us
17:49
again,
17:50
that your
17:50
people may
17:51
rejoice in
17:52
you?
17:53
Show us
17:54
your
17:54
steadfast
17:55
love,
17:56
O Lord,
17:56
and grant
17:57
us
17:58
your
17:58
salvation.
18:00
Let me
18:01
hear what
18:02
God the
18:02
Lord will
18:03
speak,
18:04
for he
18:05
will speak
18:05
peace to
18:06
his people,
18:07
to his
18:08
saints,
18:09
but let
18:10
them not
18:11
turn back
18:12
to folly.
18:13
Surely
18:14
his salvation
18:15
is near
18:16
to those
18:17
who fear
18:17
him,
18:18
that glory
18:19
may dwell
18:20
in our
18:21
land.
18:22
Steadfast
18:23
love and
18:24
faithfulness
18:25
meet.
18:26
Righteousness
18:26
and peace
18:27
kiss each
18:28
other.
18:29
Faithfulness
18:30
springs up
18:31
from the
18:31
ground,
18:33
and righteousness
18:33
looks down
18:34
from the
18:35
sky.
18:36
Yes,
18:37
the Lord
18:38
will give
18:39
what is
18:40
good,
18:41
and our
18:41
land will
18:42
yield its
18:43
increase.
18:44
Righteousness
18:45
will go before
18:46
him and make
18:48
his footsteps
18:49
our way.
18:52
Amen,
18:52
and may God
18:53
bless that
18:53
reading from
18:54
his word.
18:55
Before we
18:56
turn back
18:56
and look at
18:57
this psalm
18:58
together,
18:58
we'll sing
18:59
another psalm
19:00
together,
19:00
Psalm 126
19:02
in the
19:04
Scottish
19:04
Psalter,
19:05
Psalm 126
19:07
on page
19:07
419.
19:09
We can
19:10
sing the
19:10
whole of
19:11
this psalm
19:12
together.
19:12
The tune
19:12
is Denfield.
19:14
When
19:15
science
19:15
bondage,
19:16
God
19:17
turned
19:17
back,
19:17
as men
19:18
that
19:19
dreamed
19:19
were we,
19:20
then filled
19:21
with laughter
19:21
was our
19:22
mouth,
19:22
our tongue
19:23
with melody.
19:24
They among
19:25
the heathen
19:25
said,
19:26
The Lord
19:27
great things
19:28
for them
19:28
hath wrought.
19:29
The Lord
19:30
has done
19:31
great things
19:32
for us,
19:32
whence joy
19:33
to us
19:34
is brought.
19:36
We'll sing
19:36
the whole
19:36
of this
19:36
psalm
19:37
to God's
19:38
praise.
19:38
Amen.
19:38
Amen.
19:39
Amen.
19:39
Amen.
19:40
Amen.
19:40
Amen.
19:41
Amen.
19:42
Amen.
19:42
Amen.
19:43
Amen.
19:44
Amen.
19:45
Amen.
19:46
Amen.
19:46
Amen.
19:47
Amen.
19:48
Amen.
19:49
Amen.
19:50
Amen.
20:20
Amen.
20:21
Amen.
20:50
Sweet enemies
20:55
are reaping
20:57
time of
20:59
joy and joy
21:01
they shall.
21:05
But
21:06
man who
21:07
gave in
21:09
precious sea
21:11
in going
21:14
forth
21:15
the more
21:17
he that
21:20
blessed bringing
21:22
back his
21:24
she's
21:25
rejoicing
21:27
shall
21:28
return.
21:39
We can turn back together to a reading
21:42
in the book of Psalms
21:44
in Psalm 85.
21:50
The Psalms which we have already
21:52
sung together this evening
21:53
they remind us of the way
21:55
the Lord is able to do great things
21:58
for his people.
21:59
The way he is able to restore
22:02
the fortunes of his people.
22:04
And the way he can do this
22:05
maybe so often as we see in the Psalms
22:08
so very quickly
22:09
how things can turn around.
22:13
In many ways
22:13
this evening we're picking up
22:15
where James left us
22:17
this morning.
22:18
we're looking at the Gospel of John
22:20
chapter 3
22:21
verse 19
22:23
to verse 21.
22:25
There we were seeing
22:25
how Nicodemus
22:27
had come
22:28
to the Lord
22:29
and the Lord is speaking
22:31
to him about
22:32
the way
22:32
to eternal life
22:34
through his son
22:35
the Lord Jesus Christ.
22:37
But we saw too
22:38
how the battle
22:38
goes on
22:39
between
22:40
darkness
22:41
and light.
22:43
and how even in Nicodemus'
22:45
own life
22:46
he first came to
22:47
Jesus in the darkness.
22:49
But when we saw
22:50
as James highlighted
22:51
later on in his life
22:53
he came to Jesus
22:54
in the day
22:55
in the light
22:56
showing
22:57
his trust
22:58
in his Saviour.
23:00
And
23:01
we were left
23:01
with the theme
23:02
of
23:03
our need
23:04
as a land
23:04
our need
23:05
as a nation
23:06
our need
23:07
as a people
23:07
to be revived
23:09
and to be
23:10
praying
23:10
that we may be revived
23:12
that we would see
23:12
our land
23:13
in all its disarray
23:14
it is in just now
23:15
with so many things
23:17
that we would say
23:18
are in darkness
23:19
that we would see
23:20
our land
23:20
once more
23:21
being brought
23:21
into the light
23:23
of the gospel.
23:24
And I guess
23:25
this evening
23:25
where we're picking up
23:27
from that point
23:27
is to come
23:28
and focus on
23:29
Psalm 85
23:30
together
23:31
and see how
23:32
it speaks to us
23:34
of a nation
23:35
a people
23:35
crying out to God
23:37
and crying out
23:38
in his deep prayer
23:40
that the Lord
23:41
will revive
23:42
his people.
23:44
That's where
23:45
renewal
23:46
begins
23:46
that's where
23:47
transformation
23:48
comes from
23:49
not that we would
23:50
see those
23:51
around us
23:52
changed
23:53
but that we
23:54
ourselves
23:55
too would be
23:55
changed
23:56
to be a people
23:57
who are revived
23:58
by God
23:59
revived and
24:00
refreshed in him
24:01
and that we would
24:02
see this
24:03
spreading
24:03
throughout our land.
24:06
That's a prayer
24:06
of this Psalm
24:07
that we're going
24:08
to look at
24:08
this evening
24:09
and especially
24:10
verse 6.
24:12
There it says
24:13
will you not
24:14
revive us
24:15
again
24:16
that your
24:17
people
24:17
may rejoice
24:19
in you
24:20
show us
24:21
your steadfast
24:22
love
24:23
O Lord
24:23
and grant us
24:25
your salvation.
24:29
Charles Spurgeon
24:30
once preached
24:31
on this text
24:32
Charles Spurgeon
24:33
the famous
24:33
preacher
24:34
back in the
24:35
1800s
24:36
and he
24:37
began
24:38
his sermon
24:39
on this
24:40
very text
24:41
verse 6
24:42
of Psalm 85
24:43
by saying
24:44
this
24:45
he said
24:46
my people
24:47
if you will
24:49
pray this
24:50
prayer
24:50
it will be
24:52
better than
24:52
my preaching
24:53
from it
24:54
and my only
24:56
motive in
24:56
preaching from
24:57
it is that
24:58
you may
24:58
pray it
24:59
oh
25:01
that at once
25:02
before I have
25:03
uttered more
25:04
than a few
25:05
sentences
25:05
we might
25:07
begin to
25:07
pray by
25:08
crying
25:08
yes groaning
25:10
deep down
25:12
in our
25:12
souls
25:13
will you
25:14
not
25:15
revive us
25:16
again
25:16
that your
25:18
people
25:18
may rejoice
25:20
in you
25:21
powerful words
25:24
that that
25:25
would be
25:26
our prayer
25:27
that even
25:29
this evening
25:29
as we go
25:30
away
25:30
that we
25:31
will go
25:31
away
25:31
with even
25:32
just these
25:32
few words
25:33
but such
25:33
a powerful
25:34
prayer
25:35
will you
25:35
not
25:36
revive us
25:37
again
25:37
that your
25:38
people may
25:39
rejoice
25:40
in you
25:41
and that
25:43
when we look
25:44
at this
25:44
Psalm
25:44
what we
25:45
see is
25:45
the focus
25:46
is on
25:47
God's
25:48
people
25:48
who is it
25:50
that the
25:50
Psalm is
25:51
speaking to
25:52
or who is it
25:53
that is crying
25:54
out to the
25:55
Lord for
25:55
revival
25:56
it's not
25:57
those who
25:58
are lost
25:59
it's those
26:00
who have
26:01
known
26:01
God's
26:02
favour
26:02
those who
26:04
have heard
26:04
of his
26:04
blessings
26:05
those who
26:06
have experienced
26:07
it for
26:07
themselves
26:08
and they
26:09
are crying
26:09
out
26:10
will you
26:10
not again
26:11
revive us
26:12
whatever has
26:14
come into
26:14
their midst
26:15
has left
26:16
them distressed
26:18
dismayed
26:20
maybe losing
26:21
their focus
26:21
on the
26:22
Lord
26:22
but what
26:23
they are
26:23
doing now
26:24
is coming
26:24
together
26:25
and crying
26:26
out to
26:26
God
26:27
together
26:27
for this
26:28
reviving
26:28
power
26:29
that they
26:30
would see
26:30
days of
26:31
blessing
26:32
and days
26:33
of favour
26:35
of God
26:36
upon them
26:36
that's a
26:37
wonderful prayer
26:38
for ourselves
26:39
to have
26:39
and what the
26:40
Psalmist is
26:41
teaching us
26:41
is to take
26:42
confidence
26:43
in all that
26:44
the Lord
26:44
has done
26:45
all that
26:46
the Lord
26:46
is doing
26:47
and all
26:48
that the
26:48
Lord
26:49
can do
26:50
and will
26:51
do
26:51
for his
26:52
people
26:52
God brings
26:53
people
26:54
to life
26:55
through his
26:56
word
26:56
through the
26:56
gospel
26:57
he brings
26:58
his people
26:59
to life
26:59
just as we
27:00
were seeing
27:01
with Nicodemus
27:02
this morning
27:03
just as you
27:04
read of
27:04
in the letter
27:06
of Paul
27:06
to the
27:06
Ephesians
27:07
where he
27:08
speaks so
27:09
powerfully
27:09
to the
27:09
people
27:10
they are
27:10
saying
27:10
you know
27:11
you were
27:11
once dead
27:12
in your
27:13
trespasses
27:14
and sins
27:14
you were
27:15
you were
27:15
lost
27:16
but God
27:17
who is
27:18
rich and
27:18
mushy
27:19
because of
27:20
his great
27:20
love
27:21
towards us
27:22
even when
27:23
we were
27:23
dead in
27:24
our
27:24
trespasses
27:24
made us
27:26
alive
27:27
together
27:28
with
27:28
Christ
27:29
how he
27:30
is able
27:31
to bring
27:31
life
27:32
to those
27:33
who are
27:33
dead
27:34
how he
27:34
is able
27:35
to bring
27:35
life
27:36
to those
27:37
who are
27:37
his people
27:38
and we've
27:39
been given
27:40
so much
27:40
through
27:41
Christ
27:41
when we
27:43
begin
27:43
to just
27:44
look at
27:44
the scriptures
27:45
and look
27:45
at them
27:46
so closely
27:47
we see
27:47
all the
27:48
blessings
27:48
that are
27:48
ours
27:49
in Christ
27:50
what he
27:51
has done
27:52
for us
27:52
as that
27:54
hope
27:54
explored
27:55
course
27:56
we'll
27:56
look at
27:56
his
27:57
life
27:58
his
27:58
death
27:59
his
28:00
resurrection
28:01
what all
28:02
these
28:02
things
28:03
mean
28:03
for his
28:04
people
28:05
how he
28:05
came to
28:06
live
28:06
among us
28:07
God
28:07
himself
28:08
came
28:08
to live
28:10
among us
28:10
how he
28:11
died
28:12
for his
28:13
people
28:14
but how
28:14
he rose
28:15
again
28:16
and we
28:18
should
28:18
never lose
28:19
sight
28:19
of the
28:20
wonder
28:20
of that
28:21
hope
28:21
that we
28:21
have
28:22
in Christ
28:23
and indeed
28:23
as that
28:24
course
28:24
would aim
28:24
to do
28:25
to share
28:26
it with
28:26
others
28:27
so that
28:27
others
28:28
would come
28:28
to see
28:29
the hope
28:29
that is
28:30
to be
28:30
found
28:31
in Christ
28:32
but unfortunately
28:34
there are
28:34
always times
28:35
in our life
28:36
where maybe
28:36
we feel
28:37
we lose
28:38
a sense
28:38
of our
28:39
spiritual
28:39
vibrancy
28:40
we feel
28:41
a sense
28:42
of maybe
28:43
dismay
28:43
we feel
28:44
downcast
28:45
because of
28:46
certain things
28:46
that are going
28:47
on maybe
28:47
in our own
28:48
experience
28:49
and the
28:50
experiences
28:50
of people
28:51
that we're
28:51
seeing
28:51
around us
28:53
if we're
28:54
saved
28:54
we don't
28:55
lose
28:55
our
28:56
salvation
28:57
but there
28:58
are times
28:58
when we
28:58
can lose
28:59
as David
29:00
says in
29:00
the psalm
29:01
we can
29:02
lose that
29:02
joy
29:03
of salvation
29:04
we lose
29:06
our focus
29:06
on the
29:07
Lord
29:08
and so
29:09
we can
29:09
feel
29:09
overwhelmed
29:10
by the
29:11
darkness
29:11
of this
29:12
world
29:12
but we
29:13
are not
29:14
to lose
29:14
sight
29:15
of the
29:16
light
29:16
of the
29:17
gospel
29:17
of the
29:18
light
29:18
of the
29:19
glory
29:19
of God
29:20
in our
29:20
midst
29:21
in the
29:21
person
29:21
of Jesus
29:22
Christ
29:23
and to
29:24
gaze
29:24
upon
29:25
his
29:25
beauty
29:25
as
29:26
Psalm
29:26
27
29:27
says
29:28
to us
29:29
to behold
29:30
his
29:31
beauty
29:31
and to
29:32
always
29:32
keep
29:32
our
29:32
eyes
29:33
on
29:34
him
29:34
and that's
29:35
what this
29:36
psalm
29:36
seeks to
29:37
do
29:37
to help
29:38
us to
29:39
keep our
29:39
focus
29:40
on the
29:41
Lord
29:41
but pray
29:42
this
29:43
prayer
29:43
remembering
29:44
what God
29:45
has done
29:46
for us
29:47
so the
29:48
psalm
29:49
focuses
29:49
here
29:50
on three
29:51
different
29:52
things
29:53
I want
29:53
us to
29:53
look
29:53
together
29:54
at this
29:54
evening
29:55
three ways
29:57
in which
29:57
the psalm
29:58
focuses on
29:59
the blessing
30:00
of the
30:01
reviving
30:01
power
30:02
of God
30:03
and the
30:04
first is
30:05
as we see
30:05
in the
30:06
beginning
30:06
of the
30:06
psalm
30:07
verse 1
30:08
to verse 3
30:10
where it
30:10
speaks about
30:11
a past
30:12
privilege
30:13
a past
30:15
privilege
30:15
that the
30:16
people have
30:16
had
30:17
then we
30:18
see it
30:18
speaking in
30:19
verse 4
30:20
to verse 7
30:22
of a
30:22
present
30:23
need
30:24
and then
30:25
it goes
30:26
on
30:26
in verse
30:27
8
30:28
to the
30:28
end
30:28
to speak
30:29
of
30:29
a
30:30
promised
30:30
blessing
30:31
so
30:32
look at
30:33
these
30:33
three
30:34
sections
30:35
I've
30:35
broken
30:35
it up
30:36
into
30:36
three
30:36
sections
30:36
of the
30:37
psalm
30:37
a past
30:38
privilege
30:39
a present
30:40
need
30:41
and a
30:41
promised
30:42
blessing
30:43
and so
30:44
the first
30:45
thing we
30:45
want to
30:45
see is
30:45
a past
30:47
privilege
30:48
and we
30:49
see this
30:50
in verse
30:50
1
30:51
to verse
30:52
3
30:52
there's a
30:54
theme
30:55
running
30:56
throughout
30:56
this
30:57
psalm
30:58
and it's
30:59
a theme
30:59
that must
31:00
be present
31:01
in any
31:01
sense
31:02
of God's
31:03
reviving
31:04
power
31:04
whether it's
31:06
individually
31:07
or for
31:08
a nation
31:08
for a
31:10
sense of
31:11
God's
31:11
reviving
31:12
power to
31:12
be known
31:13
there needs
31:14
to be a
31:14
sense of
31:15
turning
31:15
and that's
31:17
something that
31:18
we see
31:18
through
31:19
this
31:20
psalm
31:21
we see
31:22
a people
31:24
turning
31:24
and we
31:25
see
31:26
a God
31:27
turning
31:28
and we
31:30
see it in
31:31
both a
31:31
positive
31:32
and a
31:33
negative
31:33
way
31:33
we see
31:35
a people
31:36
who have
31:37
turned
31:37
away from
31:39
God
31:39
but who
31:40
are seeking
31:41
to turn
31:41
back
31:42
to God
31:43
we see
31:45
a God
31:46
who has
31:46
poured out
31:47
indignation
31:48
on his
31:49
people
31:50
but a
31:51
God who
31:51
is able
31:52
to turn
31:52
that
31:53
into
31:54
blessing
31:54
God's
31:56
anger
31:56
being
31:56
turned
31:57
towards
31:57
them
31:58
but God's
31:59
anger
31:59
being removed
32:00
from them
32:01
turned
32:02
away
32:03
from them
32:03
and the
32:05
psalmist
32:05
begins
32:06
by looking
32:07
to a
32:07
past
32:08
day
32:08
and not
32:10
looking to
32:10
the past
32:11
with
32:11
as it
32:12
were
32:12
rose
32:12
tinted
32:13
glasses
32:14
where
32:14
everything
32:15
was better
32:16
and everything
32:16
was wonderful
32:17
it's not a
32:19
case of that
32:20
at all
32:21
everything
32:21
wasn't
32:22
perfect
32:22
everything
32:24
wasn't
32:24
good
32:24
it never
32:25
is
32:26
where there
32:26
are people
32:27
because we
32:28
are all
32:28
sinners
32:29
but there
32:30
is something
32:31
that they
32:31
had
32:32
in the
32:33
past
32:33
and that's
32:35
what he
32:35
makes clear
32:36
in the
32:36
beginning
32:36
of this
32:37
psalm
32:38
what was
32:38
it that
32:39
they had
32:39
they had
32:41
God's
32:42
favour
32:42
Lord
32:44
you were
32:46
favourable
32:47
to your
32:48
land
32:48
you
32:50
restored
32:51
the
32:52
fortunes
32:52
of Jacob
32:53
you
32:54
forgave
32:55
the
32:56
iniquity
32:56
of your
32:57
people
32:57
you
32:58
covered
32:58
all
32:59
their
32:59
sin
33:00
you
33:01
withdrew
33:01
all
33:02
your
33:02
wrath
33:02
you
33:03
turned
33:03
from
33:04
your
33:04
heart
33:05
anger
33:06
there
33:07
was a
33:07
time
33:07
in the
33:08
past
33:08
when
33:09
they
33:09
had
33:10
enjoyed
33:10
God's
33:11
favour
33:12
they
33:12
had
33:13
known
33:13
it
33:13
as
33:13
a
33:14
nation
33:14
and
33:15
they
33:15
had
33:15
known
33:15
it
33:16
as
33:16
a
33:17
people
33:17
so
33:18
the
33:19
psalmist
33:19
is
33:20
looking
33:21
back
33:21
and
33:23
what
33:23
happened
33:23
in the
33:23
past
33:24
experience
33:24
of
33:25
God's
33:25
people
33:26
that
33:26
made
33:27
a
33:27
difference
33:27
is
33:28
they
33:28
were
33:29
convicted
33:29
of
33:30
their
33:30
sin
33:31
they
33:33
turned
33:33
towards
33:34
God
33:35
there
33:36
was a
33:36
time
33:36
when he
33:37
showed
33:37
favour
33:38
he
33:38
restored
33:38
fortunes
33:39
but it
33:40
says in
33:40
verse 2
33:41
you
33:41
forgave
33:42
the
33:42
iniquity
33:43
of
33:44
your
33:44
people
33:45
they
33:46
had
33:47
come
33:47
to
33:47
God
33:48
in
33:48
a
33:48
sense
33:49
of
33:49
turning
33:49
to
33:50
him
33:50
knowing
33:51
their
33:51
sin
33:51
knowing
33:52
their
33:52
anguish
33:53
and
33:53
sin
33:53
but
33:54
knowing
33:54
the
33:55
favour
33:55
of
33:56
God
33:56
the
33:57
forgiveness
33:57
of
33:58
God
33:59
God
33:59
was
34:00
at
34:00
work
34:01
as
34:01
the
34:01
people
34:01
were
34:02
convicted
34:02
of
34:03
their
34:03
sins
34:04
they
34:05
saw
34:06
God
34:06
in
34:07
all
34:07
his
34:07
power
34:07
in
34:08
all
34:09
his
34:09
glory
34:09
and
34:10
they
34:10
recognised
34:11
that
34:11
before
34:11
him
34:12
they
34:12
were
34:13
sinners
34:13
so
34:15
yes
34:15
there
34:16
was
34:16
great
34:16
favour
34:17
in
34:17
the
34:17
land
34:17
there
34:18
was
34:18
times
34:18
of
34:18
blessing
34:19
but
34:19
that
34:20
came
34:20
from
34:20
the
34:20
people
34:21
recognising
34:22
their
34:23
sin
34:23
and
34:24
in
34:24
turning
34:25
to
34:25
God
34:25
they
34:26
knew
34:26
his
34:27
favour
34:27
and
34:28
so
34:29
that's
34:29
what
34:29
the
34:29
psalmist
34:30
is
34:30
making
34:31
clear
34:31
from
34:32
the
34:32
outset
34:33
this
34:33
past
34:33
privilege
34:34
was
34:34
found
34:35
in
34:35
a
34:36
people
34:36
turning
34:37
towards
34:37
God
34:38
and
34:39
seeking
34:39
God
34:40
anew
34:40
seeking
34:41
God
34:42
afresh
34:42
convicted
34:43
in
34:43
their
34:44
sins
34:44
and
34:44
knowing
34:45
the
34:45
favour
34:45
of
34:46
God
34:46
of
34:46
forgiving
34:47
their
34:47
sins
34:48
covering
34:48
all
34:49
their
34:49
sins
34:50
withdrawing
34:51
his
34:51
wrath
34:51
and
34:52
turning
34:53
his
34:53
hot
34:53
anger
34:54
away
34:55
the
34:55
judgment
34:55
that
34:56
was
34:56
upon
34:57
them
34:57
the
34:57
darkness
34:58
that
34:58
they
34:58
experienced
34:59
is
35:00
removed
35:00
and
35:02
it
35:02
comes
35:03
through
35:03
turning
35:04
to
35:04
God
35:05
looking
35:06
to
35:07
God
35:07
trusting
35:08
in
35:09
God
35:10
and
35:12
where
35:12
does
35:13
this
35:13
come
35:13
from
35:14
does
35:15
it
35:15
come
35:16
from
35:16
revival
35:17
as we
35:18
may
35:18
speak
35:18
about
35:19
it
35:19
well
35:20
somebody
35:21
once
35:21
said
35:21
this
35:22
when
35:22
talking
35:23
about
35:23
revival
35:24
he
35:24
said
35:25
I
35:25
don't
35:25
talk
35:25
a
35:26
great
35:26
deal
35:26
about
35:27
revival
35:27
though
35:28
in
35:29
my
35:29
very
35:29
soul
35:30
I
35:30
long
35:30
for
35:31
it
35:31
I
35:32
don't
35:32
talk
35:33
much
35:33
about
35:33
it
35:34
simply
35:34
because
35:35
I'm
35:36
convinced
35:36
that
35:36
the
35:36
thing
35:37
God
35:37
uses
35:38
to
35:38
bring
35:38
revival
35:39
to
35:39
his
35:40
church
35:40
is
35:41
not
35:41
talking
35:42
about
35:42
revival
35:43
but
35:44
talking
35:44
about
35:45
his
35:45
son
35:46
and
35:49
I
35:49
think
35:49
that's
35:49
what's
35:50
making
35:50
clear
35:51
in
35:52
this
35:52
psalm
35:52
when
35:53
the
35:53
people
35:53
are
35:54
looking
35:54
for
35:55
revival
35:56
they're
35:57
not
35:57
looking
35:57
for
35:58
the
35:58
wonders
35:59
of
35:59
revival
36:00
as it
36:00
were
36:00
itself
36:01
they're
36:02
not
36:02
looking
36:02
for
36:02
the
36:02
spectacular
36:03
things
36:04
or the
36:04
supernatural
36:05
things
36:06
that happen
36:07
at times
36:07
of revival
36:08
that's
36:09
not what
36:09
they're
36:09
looking
36:10
for
36:10
what
36:12
they're
36:12
looking
36:12
for
36:13
and
36:13
focusing
36:14
on
36:14
is
36:15
who
36:15
God
36:16
is
36:16
and
36:18
the
36:18
wonder
36:18
of
36:19
who
36:19
God
36:19
is
36:20
and
36:20
what
36:20
he
36:20
has
36:21
done
36:21
for
36:22
us
36:22
and
36:23
that's
36:23
what
36:23
you
36:24
see
36:24
here
36:24
the
36:25
people
36:25
are
36:25
looking
36:26
to
36:26
the
36:27
Lord
36:27
and
36:29
that
36:29
is
36:29
where
36:29
we
36:30
are
36:30
to
36:30
look
36:31
as
36:31
well
36:31
we
36:32
are
36:32
a
36:33
people
36:33
who
36:34
as
36:34
a
36:34
nation
36:35
as
36:35
islands
36:36
have
36:36
many
36:37
past
36:37
privileges
36:38
of
36:39
the
36:39
reviving
36:40
power
36:40
God
36:41
many
36:41
testimonies
36:42
to
36:42
the
36:43
reviving
36:43
power
36:44
of
36:45
God
36:45
but
36:46
if
36:46
you've
36:46
ever
36:46
heard
36:47
people
36:47
talk
36:47
about
36:48
the
36:48
experience
36:48
of
36:49
revival
36:49
locally
36:51
or
36:51
nationally
36:52
or even
36:52
internationally
36:53
down
36:54
through
36:54
the years
36:54
what do
36:55
they
36:55
talk
36:55
about
36:56
it
36:57
tends
36:58
to
36:58
be
36:58
those
36:59
of
36:59
us
36:59
looking
36:59
from
36:59
the
37:00
outside
37:00
in
37:00
who
37:00
talk
37:01
about
37:01
the
37:02
remarkable
37:03
signs
37:03
that
37:04
there
37:04
were
37:05
in
37:06
these
37:06
times
37:06
but
37:07
those
37:07
who
37:07
are
37:08
involved
37:08
what
37:08
do
37:08
they
37:08
speak
37:09
about
37:09
the
37:11
glory
37:12
the
37:12
presence
37:13
of
37:13
God
37:14
they
37:14
speak
37:14
about
37:15
the
37:15
power
37:15
of
37:16
God's
37:16
word
37:16
the
37:17
power
37:17
of
37:18
prayer
37:18
the
37:19
working
37:19
of
37:19
the
37:19
Holy
37:20
Spirit
37:20
God
37:21
they
37:21
focus
37:22
on
37:23
who
37:23
God
37:24
is
37:24
as a
37:25
reminder
37:26
to
37:26
ourselves
37:27
we
37:28
don't
37:28
turn
37:28
towards
37:29
revival
37:30
we
37:31
turn
37:31
towards
37:32
God
37:33
that is
37:34
where we
37:35
are to
37:35
turn
37:35
first and
37:37
foremost
37:37
we
37:38
turn
37:38
towards
37:40
God
37:40
so the
37:41
psalm
37:41
begins
37:42
by focusing
37:43
on
37:43
past
37:44
favor
37:44
of
37:45
God
37:45
but in
37:46
the
37:47
sense
37:47
of
37:47
helping
37:48
us
37:48
to
37:49
look
37:49
at
37:49
the
37:49
glory
37:50
the
37:50
wonder
37:51
of
37:51
God
37:51
who
37:52
is
37:52
able
37:52
to
37:53
forgive
37:53
the
37:54
glory
37:55
of
37:55
God
37:55
that
37:56
is
37:56
able
37:56
to
37:56
cover
37:57
our
37:58
sins
37:58
who
37:59
is
37:59
able
37:59
to
38:00
turn
38:00
away
38:00
his
38:01
judgment
38:01
from
38:02
us
38:02
as a
38:02
people
38:03
so
38:04
that
38:04
is
38:04
the
38:04
beginning
38:05
of
38:05
this
38:06
prayer
38:06
looking
38:07
for
38:07
revival
38:08
we
38:08
are
38:09
looking
38:09
to
38:10
God
38:10
the
38:11
second
38:12
thing
38:12
we
38:12
see
38:12
in
38:13
this
38:13
psalm
38:13
is
38:13
their
38:14
present
38:15
need
38:15
you
38:18
see
38:18
just
38:18
how
38:18
it
38:18
naturally
38:19
goes
38:19
on
38:19
into
38:20
verse
38:20
4
38:20
having
38:21
looked
38:21
back
38:22
the
38:23
psalmist
38:23
is
38:23
now
38:23
looking
38:24
into
38:24
their
38:25
present
38:25
we
38:26
know
38:27
Lord
38:27
that
38:28
you
38:28
have
38:28
done
38:28
this
38:29
in
38:29
the
38:29
past
38:30
but
38:31
now
38:32
he
38:32
is
38:32
saying
38:32
will
38:33
you
38:33
not
38:34
do
38:34
it
38:34
again
38:36
the
38:38
present
38:38
situation
38:39
it's
38:40
not
38:40
a
38:41
pleasant
38:41
situation
38:42
to
38:43
look
38:43
at
38:44
when
38:45
they've
38:45
known
38:46
the
38:47
wrath
38:47
of
38:48
God
38:48
it
38:49
says
38:50
here
38:50
that
38:50
they
38:50
have
38:50
the
38:51
indignation
38:52
of
38:53
God
38:53
towards
38:54
us
38:54
in
38:54
verse
38:54
4
38:55
restore
38:56
us
38:56
again
38:56
O
38:56
God
38:57
of
38:57
our
38:57
salvation
38:58
and
38:59
put
38:59
away
38:59
your
38:59
indignation
39:01
towards
39:02
us
39:03
indignation
39:05
there's
39:05
another
39:05
word
39:06
for
39:07
anger
39:07
what
39:09
the
39:09
people
39:09
of
39:09
God
39:10
had
39:10
experienced
39:11
in
39:11
the
39:11
past
39:12
past
39:13
the
39:14
wrath
39:15
of
39:15
God
39:15
upon
39:16
them
39:16
the
39:17
hot
39:17
anger
39:17
of
39:18
God
39:18
upon
39:19
them
39:19
that
39:19
had
39:19
been
39:19
turned
39:20
away
39:20
the
39:21
psalmist
39:21
is
39:21
now
39:21
saying
39:22
will
39:22
you
39:22
not
39:22
do
39:22
it
39:23
again
39:23
put
39:24
away
39:25
your
39:25
indignation
39:26
towards
39:27
us
39:27
will
39:28
you
39:28
be
39:28
angry
39:29
forever
39:30
are
39:31
we
39:31
ever
39:32
going
39:32
to
39:32
see
39:32
days
39:33
of
39:33
your
39:34
power
39:34
in
39:35
our
39:35
midst
39:36
again
39:36
that's
39:38
the
39:38
cry
39:38
of
39:39
the
39:39
psalmist
39:40
here
39:40
perhaps
39:41
it can
39:41
be
39:41
our
39:42
own
39:42
cry
39:42
at
39:42
times
39:43
as
39:43
well
39:43
will
39:44
we
39:45
ever
39:45
see
39:45
a
39:46
day
39:46
like
39:46
we've
39:46
seen
39:46
in
39:47
the
39:47
past
39:47
will
39:48
we
39:48
ever
39:49
see
39:49
this
39:50
church
39:50
full
39:51
to
39:51
capacity
39:51
again
39:52
it's
39:53
not
39:53
that
39:53
long
39:54
since
39:54
it
39:54
was
39:55
will
39:56
we
39:56
ever
39:56
see
39:57
God's
39:58
blessing
39:59
on
39:59
our
39:59
islands
40:00
in
40:00
a
40:00
great
40:00
way
40:00
again
40:01
will
40:02
the
40:02
Lord
40:02
be
40:02
angry
40:03
towards
40:04
us
40:04
forever
40:05
as
40:06
a
40:06
nation
40:06
as
40:06
we
40:07
go
40:07
so
40:07
far
40:07
away
40:08
from
40:08
God
40:08
and
40:09
his
40:09
ways
40:09
will
40:10
the
40:10
tide
40:10
ever
40:11
turn
40:12
again
40:12
will
40:13
things
40:13
ever
40:14
change
40:14
for
40:15
the
40:15
favour
40:15
of
40:16
God's
40:16
people
40:17
again
40:17
all
40:17
these
40:18
kinds
40:18
of
40:19
questions
40:20
the
40:20
same
40:20
questions
40:21
that the
40:22
psalmist
40:22
has
40:23
here
40:23
in
40:23
verse
40:23
5
40:24
will
40:25
you
40:25
be angry
40:26
with
40:26
us
40:27
will
40:28
you
40:28
prolong
40:28
your
40:29
anger
40:29
to
40:30
all
40:30
generations
40:31
is
40:32
this
40:32
going
40:32
to
40:32
carry
40:33
on
40:33
is
40:34
this
40:34
going
40:34
to
40:34
be
40:35
the
40:35
way
40:35
from
40:35
now
40:36
on
40:36
will
40:37
we
40:37
ever
40:38
see
40:38
days
40:39
of
40:40
God's
40:41
blessing
40:41
again
40:42
well
40:44
in
40:44
the
40:45
midst
40:45
of
40:45
this
40:46
there
40:47
is
40:47
this
40:47
prayer
40:48
in
40:49
verse
40:49
6
40:50
will
40:51
you
40:51
not
40:52
revive
40:53
us
40:53
again
40:55
that
40:55
your
40:56
people
40:56
may
40:57
rejoice
40:58
in
40:59
you
41:00
we
41:03
have
41:03
our
41:03
own
41:03
image
41:04
of
41:05
what
41:05
maybe
41:06
revival
41:06
looks
41:07
like
41:07
because
41:08
of
41:08
what
41:08
we've
41:08
read
41:09
or
41:09
what
41:09
we've
41:09
heard
41:09
from
41:10
the
41:10
past
41:11
but
41:11
what
41:11
does
41:12
revival
41:13
look
41:14
like
41:14
when
41:16
you
41:16
think
41:17
of
41:17
revival
41:17
you
41:17
maybe
41:17
think
41:18
back
41:18
to
41:18
the
41:19
book
41:19
of
41:19
Acts
41:20
and
41:21
Peter's
41:22
sermon
41:23
at
41:23
the
41:23
day
41:24
of
41:24
Pentecost
41:24
and
41:25
3,000
41:26
were
41:27
converted
41:27
that
41:28
day
41:28
there
41:28
is
41:28
revival
41:29
for
41:30
us
41:30
it's
41:31
when
41:31
large
41:32
numbers
41:32
even
41:33
into
41:33
thousands
41:34
turn
41:35
towards
41:35
God
41:36
and
41:37
you
41:37
think
41:37
that's
41:37
what
41:38
revival
41:38
would
41:38
look
41:39
like
41:39
maybe
41:40
we
41:40
think
41:41
revival
41:41
would
41:41
be
41:42
to
41:42
see
41:42
this
41:43
church
41:44
full
41:44
again
41:45
that
41:46
would
41:46
be
41:47
to
41:47
show
41:48
God's
41:48
reviving
41:49
power
41:49
God's
41:50
favor
41:50
upon
41:51
us
41:51
is
41:52
that
41:52
what
41:52
the
41:52
psalm
41:53
is
41:53
asking
41:54
here
41:54
is
41:54
that
41:54
what
41:54
the
41:55
psalmist
41:55
is
41:55
asking
41:56
of
41:56
God
41:56
he's
41:57
saying
41:58
will
41:58
you
41:58
not
41:58
revive
41:59
us
42:00
again
42:01
those
42:02
who
42:02
are
42:03
already
42:03
there
42:03
and
42:05
what
42:05
you
42:05
see
42:05
when
42:05
you
42:05
look
42:05
in
42:06
the
42:06
book
42:06
of
42:06
Acts
42:06
is
42:07
revival
42:07
isn't
42:08
all
42:08
about
42:09
those
42:09
3,000
42:10
who
42:11
were
42:11
converted
42:11
under
42:12
Peter's
42:12
sermon
42:13
if
42:14
you
42:14
go
42:14
back
42:15
into
42:15
the
42:15
book
42:15
of
42:15
Acts
42:16
chapter
42:17
1
42:17
the
42:18
people
42:18
there
42:19
were
42:19
looking
42:19
and
42:20
questioning
42:20
what's
42:21
going
42:21
on
42:21
and
42:23
the
42:23
question
42:24
that
42:24
they
42:24
asked
42:24
in
42:25
verse
42:25
6
42:25
of
42:25
chapter
42:26
1
42:26
was
42:26
Lord
42:27
will
42:27
you
42:27
at
42:28
this
42:28
time
42:28
restore
42:30
Israel
42:30
what's
42:31
going
42:31
to
42:31
happen
42:32
are
42:32
you
42:33
going
42:33
to
42:33
restore
42:34
your
42:34
people
42:34
again
42:35
but
42:36
what
42:36
does
42:36
it
42:36
lead
42:37
to
42:37
it
42:38
leads
42:39
to
42:39
a
42:39
prayer
42:39
meeting
42:40
in
42:40
the
42:41
upper
42:41
room

everything

44:26
in
44:26
vain
44:26
for
44:27
his
44:27
cause
44:27
we
44:28
say
44:28
Lord
44:29
will
44:29
you
44:29
not
44:29
again
44:30

we

the

44:41
you
44:41
not
44:41
again
44:41
revive

us
44:42
when

we're

doing

anything

for

the

Lord

be it
44:48
meeting
44:49
in

44:49
for

all
44:50
kinds
44:50
of
44:51
different
44:51
purposes
44:52
for

Bible
44:53
study
44:53
for

out
44:55
to
44:56
those
44:56
around

us
44:57
we
44:57
pray

Lord
44:58
will
44:59
you
44:59
not
44:59
again
45:00

that

we
45:03
may
45:03
rejoice
45:04
in
45:05
you
45:05
that
45:06
we
45:06
may
45:07
be
45:07
glad
45:08
in
45:08
you
45:08
that
45:09
we
45:09
may
45:09
delight
45:09
in
45:10
you
45:10
for
45:11
you
45:11
are
45:11
God
45:12
and
45:12
there
45:12
is
45:12
no
45:13
other
45:13
Lord
45:16
in
45:16
the
45:16
hopelessness
45:17
of
45:17
this
45:18
world
45:18
in
45:18
the
45:18
hopelessness
45:19
that
45:20
so
45:20
many
45:20
people
45:21
feel
45:21
in
45:21
this
45:22
world
45:22
Lord
45:22
will
45:23
you
45:23
not
45:24
again
45:24
revive
45:25
us
45:26
that
45:26
people
45:27
may
45:27
rejoice
45:28
in
45:29
you
45:29
what
45:31
is
45:32
this
45:32
prayer
45:33
well
45:35
it's
45:36
acknowledging
45:36
first of
45:37
all a
45:38
dependence
45:38
on
45:40
God
45:40
it's
45:41
all about
45:42
the
45:42
Lord
45:43
it's
45:43
saying
45:43
Lord
45:43
will
45:44
you
45:45
not
45:45
revive
45:46
us
45:47
again
45:48
we
45:49
depend
45:49
on
45:50
God
45:51
for
45:51
it
45:51
nobody
45:52
can
45:53
revive
45:53
us
45:54
but
45:54
you
45:55
oh
45:55
God
45:55
so
45:57
we
45:57
cry
45:57
to
45:58
him
45:58
but
45:59
it
45:59
also
45:59
reminds
46:00
us
46:00
of
46:00
our
46:01
confidence
46:01
in
46:02
God
46:03
that's
46:03
what
46:03
we
46:04
see
46:04
with
46:04
the
46:04
psalmist
46:05
here
46:05
will
46:06
you
46:06
not
46:06
revive
46:07
us
46:07
again
46:08
he's
46:10
saying
46:10
Lord
46:10
you've
46:11
done
46:11
it
46:12
you
46:13
have
46:13
done
46:13
this
46:14
in
46:14
the
46:14
past
46:14
you
46:15
have
46:15
showed
46:15
favor
46:16
towards
46:17
your
46:17
land
46:18
in
46:18
the
46:18
past
46:19
and
46:19
your
46:19
people
46:19
in
46:20
the
46:20
past
46:20
will
46:21
you
46:21
not
46:22
do
46:22
it
46:22
again
46:23
so
46:24
we
46:24
come
46:25
with
46:25
confidence
46:26
it's
46:27
impossible
46:28
for
46:28
us
46:29
but
46:30
it's
46:30
not
46:30
impossible
46:31
with
46:31
you
46:31
Lord
46:33
will
46:33
you
46:34
not
46:34
again
46:34
revive
46:35
us
46:36
there's
46:37
so
46:38
much
46:38
around
46:39
us
46:39
that
46:39
can
46:40
be
46:40
discouraging
46:41
but
46:42
we
46:42
should
46:42
keep
46:42
praying
46:43
and
46:43
remain
46:44
confident
46:45
and
46:46
there's
46:46
so
46:46
many
46:46
examples
46:47
of
46:48
why
46:48
when
46:49
we
46:49
look
46:49
at
46:49
the
46:49
scriptures
46:50
we
46:50
see
46:50
a
46:50
people
46:51
the
46:52
prophets
46:52
in
46:52
the
46:53
Old
46:53
Testament
46:53
and
46:53
so
46:54
often
46:54
things
46:54
were
46:54
dark
46:55
and
46:56
dismal
46:56
for
46:56
them
46:57
yet
46:57
they
46:57
were
46:57
trusting
46:58
in
46:58
God
46:58
this
46:59
psalm
46:59
reminds
47:00
us
47:00
Lord
47:01
you've
47:01
done
47:02
it
47:02
in
47:02
the
47:02
past
47:02
do
47:03
it
47:03
again
47:04
Paul
47:05
Peter
47:06
the
47:06
apostles
47:07
in
47:07
the
47:07
New
47:08
Testament
47:08
they
47:08
remind
47:09
us
47:09
of
47:10
how
47:10
things
47:11
can
47:11
change
47:11
so
47:12
quickly
47:12
of
47:13
how
47:13
the
47:13
gospel
47:14
spreads
47:14
with
47:15
power
47:15
even
47:18
into
47:18
the
47:19
days
47:19
following
47:20
the
47:20
scriptures
47:21
and
47:21
how
47:21
they
47:21
spread
47:22
throughout
47:22
the
47:23
world
47:23
how
47:24
they
47:24
came
47:24
to
47:24
our
47:25
own
47:25
land
47:25
and
47:26
the
47:26
difference
47:26
that
47:26
it
47:27
made
47:27
how
47:28
God
47:28
showed
47:29
favour
47:29
to
47:30
our
47:30
own
47:31
land
47:31
many
47:33
of
47:33
you
47:33
will
47:34
have
47:34
heard
47:34
of
47:34
William
47:35
Wilberforce
47:36
he
47:37
was
47:37
one
47:38
who
47:38
was
47:38
so
47:39
instrumental
47:39
in
47:40
the
47:41
abolition
47:41
of
47:41
the
47:41
slave
47:42
trade
47:42
in
47:43
the
47:43
early
47:43
1800s
47:44
he
47:46
was
47:46
a
47:46
Christian
47:47
politician
47:48
and
47:49
he
47:49
was
47:49
so
47:49
passionate
47:50
for
47:50
the
47:50
Lord
47:51
and
47:51
for
47:51
his
47:52
cause
47:52
but
47:54
at
47:54
the
47:54
time
47:55
when
47:55
he
47:55
became
47:56
a
47:57
politician
47:57
the
47:59
land
47:59
then
47:59
was
47:59
so
48:00
much
48:00
like
48:00
our
48:01
own
48:01
land
48:01
today
48:02
he
48:03
surveyed
48:03
the
48:04
land
48:04
and
48:04
how
48:05
morally
48:06
corrupt
48:06
the
48:07
place
48:07
was
48:08
how
48:09
spiritually
48:10
dry
48:10
the
48:11
day
48:11
was
48:12
but
48:13
he
48:14
did
48:14
not
48:14
lose
48:15
hope
48:15
and
48:17
he
48:17
wrote
48:17
this
48:18
he
48:18
said
48:18
my
48:18
own
48:19
solid
48:19
hopes
48:20
for
48:20
the
48:21
well-being
48:21
of
48:21
my
48:22
country
48:22
depends
48:23
not
48:23
so much
48:24
on
48:24
her
48:24
navies
48:25
or
48:25
armies
48:26
not
48:26
on
48:27
the
48:27
wisdom
48:27
of
48:27
her
48:28
rulers
48:28
nor
48:29
on
48:29
the
48:30
spirit
48:30
of
48:30
her
48:31
people
48:31
as
48:32
on
48:32
the
48:33
persuasion
48:33
that
48:33
she
48:34
still
48:34
contains
48:35
many
48:35
who
48:36
love
48:37
and
48:37
obey
48:37
the
48:38
gospel
48:39
of
48:39
christ
48:39
i
48:41
believe
48:41
that
48:42
their
48:42
prayers
48:43
may
48:44
yet
48:44
prevail
48:45
that's
48:46
the
48:46
confidence
48:47
he had
48:47
when all
48:48
around him
48:49
seemed so
48:50
dismayed
48:50
he believed
48:51
that the
48:52
gospel
48:52
and those
48:53
who believed
48:54
in the
48:54
gospel of
48:55
christ
48:55
those who
48:56
were
48:56
praying
48:57
that their
48:58
prayers
48:58
may yet
48:59
prevail
49:00
this was
49:02
when everything
49:03
looked bleak
49:04
within a few
49:05
years
49:06
after he
49:07
made this
49:07
statement
49:08
the
49:08
country
49:09
he loved
49:10
experienced
49:11
one of the
49:11
greatest
49:12
revivals
49:12
in modern
49:14
times
49:14
the
49:16
abolition
49:16
of the
49:17
slave trade
49:18
happened
49:19
and there
49:19
was a
49:20
revival
49:20
throughout
49:21
the land
49:22
transformed
49:24
the
49:25
nation
49:25
lord
49:28
you have
49:30
done it
49:30
in the
49:30
past
49:31
will you
49:32
not again
49:33
revive us
49:35
our
49:36
present
49:36
and
49:37
pressing
49:38
need
49:38
today
49:38
is to
49:40
be able
49:40
to cry
49:41
to god
49:41
and say
49:42
lord
49:42
revive us
49:44
again
49:45
he has
49:47
done it
49:48
before
49:49
he can
49:50
do it
49:51
again
49:52
the third
49:54
and final
49:55
thing we
49:55
see in
49:56
this psalm
49:57
is the
49:58
promised
49:59
blessing
50:00
as we
50:03
turn
50:03
to god
50:04
as we
50:04
seek
50:05
his
50:05
face
50:06
as we
50:07
cry
50:07
out
50:08
lord
50:08
revive
50:09
us
50:09
again
50:09
that
50:09
your
50:09
people
50:10
may
50:11
rejoice
50:11
in
50:12
you
50:12
show
50:13
us
50:13
your
50:13
steadfast
50:14
love
50:14
grant
50:15
us
50:15
your
50:16
salvation
50:17
the
50:17
psalmist
50:18
goes on
50:18
to show
50:19
the
50:20
transforming
50:20
power
50:21
of god
50:22
there's
50:24
so many
50:25
things we
50:25
could look
50:25
at but
50:26
we're
50:26
not
50:26
going
50:26
to
50:26
go
50:26
through
50:26
all
50:27
the
50:27
verses
50:27
but
50:27
I
50:27
want
50:28
to
50:28
take
50:28
verse
50:28
9
50:29
and
50:29
tie
50:30
it
50:30
back
50:30
to
50:30
verse
50:31
6
50:31
verse
50:33
9
50:33
says
50:33
surely
50:34
his
50:35
salvation
50:35
is
50:36
near
50:36
to
50:37
those
50:37
who
50:37
fear
50:38
him
50:38
that
50:39
glory
50:39
may
50:40
dwell
50:41
in
50:41
our
50:42
land
50:42
salvation
50:44
is
50:45
near
50:46
to
50:46
those
50:46
who
50:47
fear
50:47
him
50:48
and
50:49
when
50:49
you
50:49
look
50:49
back
50:50
to
50:51
verse
50:52
6
50:52
and
50:52
tie
50:52
that
50:53
in
50:53
the
50:53
glory
50:53
that
50:54
the
50:54
psalmist
50:55
is
50:55
speaking
50:55
of
50:56
there
50:56
is
50:56
a
50:57
people
50:57
revived
50:58
and
50:58
a
50:59
people
50:59
rejoicing
51:00
in
51:01
you
51:02
when
51:04
we
51:04
think
51:04
of
51:05
revival
51:06
again
51:08
we
51:08
come
51:08
back
51:08
to
51:08
think
51:09
what
51:09
that
51:09
might
51:10
look
51:10
like
51:11
when
51:12
we
51:13
think
51:13
of
51:13
our
51:13
land
51:14
we
51:14
think
51:14
of
51:15
the
51:15
day
51:16
of
51:16
the
51:16
psalmist
51:16
we
51:17
think
51:17
of
51:17
the
51:17
day
51:17
of
51:17
William
51:18
Wilberforce
51:19
what
51:19
was
51:19
the
51:20
greatest
51:20
sign
51:22
of
51:22
revival
51:23
it
51:25
wasn't
51:25
wonders
51:26
happening
51:27
it
51:28
wasn't
51:28
supernatural
51:29
things
51:30
it
51:31
was
51:31
people
51:32
praising
51:33
God
51:34
people
51:36
whose
51:36
hearts
51:37
were so
51:37
hard
51:38
towards
51:39
God
51:39
and
51:39
people
51:39
who
51:40
seemed
51:40
so
51:40
far
51:40
away
51:41
from
51:42
God
51:42
coming
51:43
to
51:43
praise
51:44
God
51:44
and that
51:47
should be
51:47
our prayer
51:48
for today
51:49
as well
51:49
that people
51:51
would come
51:51
to praise
51:53
God
51:53
ourselves
51:55
beginning
51:56
with ourselves
51:57
first
51:57
that we
51:58
would delight
51:59
ourselves
51:59
and praise
52:00
God
52:01
with all
52:02
our hearts
52:03
that we
52:04
would be
52:04
praying
52:05
Lord
52:06
revive
52:06
us
52:07
revive
52:09
our
52:10
king
52:10
over us
52:11
revive
52:12
our
52:12
prime minister
52:13
over us
52:14
revive
52:15
our first
52:15
minister
52:16
revive
52:17
all our
52:18
leaders
52:18
revive
52:19
our
52:19
people
52:20
down
52:21
through
52:21
every
52:22
level
52:22
of
52:23
society
52:23
turn
52:24
us
52:25
again
52:25
towards
52:26
you
52:27
that we
52:28
may
52:28
rejoice
52:29
in you
52:30
that your
52:30
glory
52:31
may dwell
52:32
in your
52:33
land
52:34
in our
52:34
land
52:35
again
52:36
revival
52:38
is about
52:39
people
52:40
and people
52:41
rejoicing
52:43
in God
52:44
and where
52:45
do we see
52:46
the reviving
52:47
power
52:47
it's when
52:48
people turn
52:49
to Christ
52:51
when people
52:52
gaze
52:53
on his
52:54
beauty
52:55
when they
52:55
hear the
52:56
message
52:56
turn
52:57
and be
52:58
saved
52:59
look to
53:00
me and
53:00
be saved
53:01
we look
53:02
to Christ
53:02
and rejoice
53:04
in him
53:04
and where
53:06
do we see
53:07
that
53:07
but at
53:08
the cross
53:09
and there
53:10
you see
53:10
the reviving
53:12
power
53:12
of Christ
53:14
in a day
53:15
when there
53:16
was darkness
53:16
over the
53:18
land
53:18
when the
53:19
in the middle
53:20
of the day
53:20
when there
53:20
shouldn't have
53:21
been any
53:21
darkness
53:22
there was
53:22
darkness
53:23
but what
53:25
happened
53:25
at the
53:26
cross
53:27
Christ
53:28
was
53:29
victorious
53:30
and through
53:31
his
53:32
life
53:33
death
53:34
and
53:35
resurrection
53:35
we have
53:36
hope
53:37
and that
53:38
transforming
53:39
power
53:39
is seen
53:40
so clearly
53:41
when you
53:41
look at
53:42
the cross
53:42
and the
53:43
people
53:44
who were
53:45
convicted
53:45
there
53:46
you think
53:47
of two
53:48
of them
53:48
as Jesus
53:50
was crucified
53:51
there was
53:52
a thief
53:53
to one
53:54
side of
53:55
him
53:55
who cried
53:57
out
53:57
to him
53:58
but he
54:00
was told
54:00
the great
54:01
words
54:02
today
54:02
you will
54:03
be with
54:04
me
54:04
in paradise
54:06
a thief
54:08
on the
54:09
cross
54:09
was revived
54:11
in the
54:12
darkness
54:12
of the
54:13
cross
54:13
a Roman
54:15
centurion
54:16
looked on
54:17
one
54:18
who would
54:18
have been
54:19
in charge
54:20
of so
54:20
many
54:20
people
54:21
he looked
54:22
on and
54:23
said
54:23
surely
54:24
this was
54:25
the son
54:25
of God
54:26
convicted
54:28
by what
54:29
he saw
54:30
but what
54:32
was the
54:32
focus on
54:33
it was
54:34
on Christ
54:34
and that's
54:36
what our
54:37
focus
54:37
needs to
54:38
be on
54:39
what Christ
54:40
has done
54:42
for us
54:43
and the
54:44
wonder
54:44
of Christ
54:46
that he
54:47
came to
54:47
die for
54:48
sinners
54:49
such as
54:50
we are
54:50
revival
54:52
begins
54:53
by looking
54:54
to him
54:55
convicted
54:57
of our
54:58
sin
54:59
but turning
55:00
to the
55:01
Lord Jesus
55:02
Christ
55:02
there's a
55:04
story told
55:05
of the
55:06
Ulster
55:07
revivals
55:07
back in
55:08
the 1920s
55:09
Ireland
55:12
it was a
55:13
very difficult
55:13
and a very
55:14
dark place
55:15
to live
55:15
as well
55:16
there was
55:16
so much
55:17
dreadful
55:19
things going
55:19
on there
55:20
and yet
55:21
revival
55:22
came
55:23
God's
55:24
power
55:25
came down
55:26
and one
55:28
place where
55:28
they saw
55:29
the impact
55:29
of it
55:30
was shipyard
55:31
workers
55:32
hard men
55:34
who had
55:34
been so
55:35
used to
55:36
corrupt
55:37
ways of
55:37
life
55:38
looking after
55:39
themselves
55:39
as number
55:40
one
55:40
there was
55:41
a story
55:42
told that
55:42
when revival
55:43
broke out
55:44
many of
55:44
these men
55:45
were converted
55:46
and one
55:48
of the
55:48
marks of
55:48
transformation
55:49
in their
55:50
lives was
55:50
that they
55:51
brought back
55:51
so many
55:52
tools that
55:53
they had
55:54
stolen
55:54
from the
55:55
shipyard
55:56
so many
55:57
tools that
55:58
new sheds
55:59
had to be
56:00
built to
56:01
store them
56:02
so convicted
56:03
were they by
56:04
their past
56:05
ways and
56:06
what God
56:07
had done
56:07
that they
56:08
brought
56:08
these
56:09
back
56:09
there was
56:10
a deep
56:10
awareness
56:11
of sin
56:13
but there
56:14
was also
56:15
a deep
56:16
awareness
56:16
of the
56:17
gospel
56:18
and the
56:19
nearness
56:20
of God
56:22
and the
56:23
spirit
56:23
working
56:24
and that's
56:25
what this
56:26
psalm
56:26
is all
56:27
about
56:28
a deep
56:30
awareness
56:30
of our
56:32
sin
56:32
a deep
56:34
awareness
56:34
of our
56:35
need
56:36
of God
56:36
but a
56:37
deep
56:38
awareness
56:38
of the
56:39
power
56:40
that God
56:41
is able
56:42
to show
56:43
and to
56:44
manifest
56:44
among his
56:45
people
56:46
the cry
56:47
is
56:48
Lord
56:49
will you
56:50
not
56:50
revive
56:51
us
56:51
again
56:52
that your
56:53
people
56:53
may rejoice
56:55
in you
56:57
as I said
56:58
at the start
56:59
Spurgeon
57:00
said
57:01
if anything
57:02
else you
57:02
take away
57:03
pray
57:04
this prayer
57:06
that we
57:07
might see
57:08
the glory
57:09
of God
57:10
in our
57:10
land
57:11
through us
57:12
as his
57:12
people
57:13
going out
57:14
to all
57:15
people
57:15
that we
57:16

57:25
pray
57:25
Lord our
57:29
God our
57:29
Father in
57:30
heaven
57:30
we thank
57:32
you that
57:32
as you
57:33
have done
57:33
in the
57:33
past
57:34
you are
57:35
so able
57:35
to do
57:36
even in
57:36
our day
57:37
at this
57:38
time
57:38
we thank
57:39
you Lord
57:40
that even
57:40
though we
57:41
so often
57:41
say
57:42
that there
57:43
is darkness
57:43
all around
57:44
us
57:44
that the
57:45
days have
57:46
been just
57:46
as dark
57:47
in the
57:47
past
57:48
the times
57:48
have been
57:49
so dreadful
57:50
in the
57:50
past
57:51
too
57:51
but we
57:52
thank you
57:53
Lord
57:53
that just
57:54
as we
57:55
have a
57:55
need
57:55
today
57:56
you have
57:57
shown
57:57
that the
57:57
need is
57:58
found in
57:58
your
57:58
gospel
57:59
that light
58:00
that glorious
58:01
presence
58:02
of you
58:03
with your
58:04
people
58:04
and we
58:05
pray Lord
58:06
that it
58:06
will be
58:06
seen
58:07
within us
58:08
as your
58:09
people
58:09
and throughout
58:10
our land
58:11
that we
58:12
may rejoice
58:13
in you
58:14
so we
58:15
pray Lord
58:15
may you
58:16
revive us
58:17
that we
58:18
will rejoice
58:19
in you
58:20
may you
58:20
show us
58:21
your
58:22
steadfast
58:22
love
58:23
may you
58:24
grant us
58:25
your
58:25
salvation
58:26
and that
58:27
glory would
58:28
be seen
58:28
in your
58:29
land
58:30
once again
58:30
so hear
58:31
our prayers
58:32
and continue
58:33
with us
58:33
in Jesus
58:34
name
58:35
amen
58:36
we'll
58:42
conclude by
58:43
singing
58:43
the psalm
58:44
which we've
58:44
been looking
58:45
at and
58:45
again we
58:46
