- 0:00Let's begin our worship this evening by singing to God's praise.
- 0:03We're going to sing in Psalm 84 in the Scottish Psalter at verse 6.
- 0:09Psalm 84 at verse 6, page 338 of the psalm book.
- 0:15The tomb is Tramps and Hawkers.
- 0:18Who passing Thurabaker's vale, therein do dig up wells.
- 0:21Also the rain that falleth down, the pools with water fills.
- 0:26Though they from strength and weary go still forward unto strength.
- 0:30Until in Zion they appear before the Lord at length.
- 0:34We'll sing from verse 6a down to the end of the psalm to God's praise.
- 0:42Who passing through Bacchus' vale, therein do dig up wells.
- 0:54Also the rain that falleth down, the pools with water fills.
- 1:06So they from strength and weary go still forward unto strength.
- 1:18Until in Zion they appear before the Lord at length.
- 1:30Lord, what a force my way are here, O Jacob's God give ear.
- 1:42See God our shield look on the face of thy anointed ear.
- 1:54All in thy course on the excess a thousand rather in.
- 2:06My God's house will I keep adored and dwell in tents of sin.
- 2:18What want the Lord's a sun and shield, ill grace and glory give.
- 2:30And dwell with hope no good from them, that of our heed to live.
- 2:42O Lord, that of our heed to the Lord of hosts, that man is truly blessed.
- 2:54Through my assured confidence, on thee alone the rest.
- 3:12Let's come to God in prayer.
- 3:14Let us pray.
- 3:15Lord God of hosts, as the psalmist says, we thank you to be able to come and worship you this evening together.
- 3:28We thank you to be able to come into your place and with your people.
- 3:34To be gathered around your word that speaks to us so powerfully.
- 3:39And to sing your praises from these words that remind us of who you are and the wonder of your grace.
- 3:46That you are the one who the psalmist says, he'll grace and glory give.
- 3:52And will withhold no good from them that uprightly do live.
- 3:56And we thank you that we can enter into the experience of these words.
- 4:01Recognizing, Lord, that you have not withheld anything from us.
- 4:07We so often ask for things that maybe we think we don't get.
- 4:12But Lord, you and your wisdom may keep things from us that we do not require.
- 4:18But we thank you that all that we need to live, move and have our being is supplied by you.
- 4:25And supplied so abundantly.
- 4:27We thank you, Lord, for every provision you make for us.
- 4:32That you are a God of grace and glory.
- 4:35That you are a God who has revealed your grace and glory to us through your Son, Jesus Christ.
- 4:42We thank you that your glory is seen around us.
- 4:46And your grace is experienced even within us.
- 4:49We thank you, Lord, for so much that we have that we take for granted.
- 4:57But help us, Lord, that day by day we will appreciate more.
- 5:01Your wondrous works towards us and towards your kingdom.
- 5:08For we belong to your people.
- 5:10A people who belong to all nations and tribes of this world.
- 5:14We may belong to a place and a town and a family.
- 5:19We may belong to a nation and a country here.
- 5:23But we thank you, Lord, that above all, our citizenship is in heaven.
- 5:29That we are a people, Lord, who as we put our trust in you,
- 5:33would find there that we belong to you as our Father in heaven.
- 5:38That we belong to your people scattered far and wide.
- 5:42And help us, Lord, to find our identity in you.
- 5:46To seek you with all our heart.
- 5:49And to look to you and to trust in you as the maker of heaven and earth.
- 5:54And we do thank you, Lord, for your grace.
- 5:58Your grace so abundant towards your people.
- 6:02Your grace shown in how you gave your own Son.
- 6:06How he came to redeem his people.
- 6:09How he came to save his people from their sins.
- 6:13And we thank you, Lord, that in all that we could not do for ourselves,
- 6:17that you have accomplished it for us.
- 6:20And help us to cry to you.
- 6:22Help us to call upon your name.
- 6:24Help us to know that you are with us.
- 6:26Help us to know your presence day by day.
- 6:30Help us to experience it, Lord, and to share it with others.
- 6:34Help us to rejoice in it.
- 6:36And to be glad for everything that you do for us.
- 6:40So that even as we worship this evening, as we sing your praise,
- 6:44we will do so with joy and delight in our hearts and on our lips.
- 6:49And as we hear and receive your word,
- 6:52that it will fill us up for the week that lies ahead.
- 6:56As we begin this week on a day that reminds us that our Lord and Savior is risen.
- 7:01And a reminder to us that we rest in him.
- 7:05May he equip us and set us up, Lord, for going back into our workspaces and into our homes
- 7:12and into our communities in the week ahead.
- 7:15That we will be salt and light in all that we do.
- 7:19We do pray for your ongoing work here in our midst and throughout your kingdom, Lord.
- 7:25We thank you that you are building your church and that you are calling your people to yourself.
- 7:32That there is that irresistible grace that you show towards your people.
- 7:38We thank you for evidence of how you are working, how you are speaking, how you are ministering.
- 7:45How we see a people coming from darkness to light.
- 7:48How we see desires being changed from longing for the things of this world
- 7:53to instead be longing for you and for your kingdom.
- 7:58And so we pray that by your spirit you will work among us.
- 8:02Among young and old alike.
- 8:04That we will experience your precious grace and your steadfast love.
- 8:09May you bless the youth fellowship as they meet this evening.
- 8:12We thank you that as they resume after the holiday period that you will be with them in it.
- 8:18Remember our young people just now as they sit exams.
- 8:22As prelims go on, have gone on this past week and go on in the week ahead.
- 8:27May you encourage and strengthen all our young people as they prepare for exams and as they sit them.
- 8:34Be with them in it, Lord, and help them to be able to call upon you for help.
- 8:39To be able to pray over these things, recognizing the help that you are able to give.
- 8:46So help them to lean upon you and look to you.
- 8:49Help us as a people, Lord, in all that we do to encourage and remember one another.
- 8:55We thank you, Lord, that your grace is sufficient in all experience in life.
- 9:01And we do pray your grace towards those who need it in special ways.
- 9:05Those who grieve over the loss of loved ones as we continue to remember that in recent days and in days gone past, Lord.
- 9:15That you will comfort, that you will uphold, that you will be a shield and a strength to those who need you in that particular way.
- 9:23Remember those who are unwell, those who are in hospital, those who are confined to their homes.
- 9:28We pray, Lord, that you will draw near to them where they are, that you will encourage and strengthen your people as they have need of you.
- 9:37We know, Lord, that there are times when what is important is your will.
- 9:44And we pray, Lord, that you must be heard in the morning service, that your will be what we pray for.
- 9:53No matter what goes on in our experience, Lord, help us to be settled with it.
- 9:59And to be settled, Lord, to say your will be done in all things.
- 10:04We remember, Lord, our wider communities at this time as well.
- 10:09And as we see an appeal for help to support Muriel Gillis in Lox at this time, we pray for that situation.
- 10:19We thank you, Lord, for her safety above all that she was able to get out of her home before the fire took hold.
- 10:28But when we see the devastation and the loss it has brought, Lord, we pray for her, for her family as well, and for the community there too.
- 10:37We thank you, Lord, for those who have surrounded her with love and care and compassion.
- 10:43And we pray, Lord, to remember her in every way we can, prayerfully and practically.
- 10:49And we know others in need too as well, Lord.
- 10:52And we pray for every ongoing effort of your gospel work in our midst to reach out to people in need, those who are lonely, those who are isolated in different ways, those who are struggling with many different issues.
- 11:06We pray, Lord, that you will help us to be good neighbors to those around us, loving them, caring for them, having compassion upon them.
- 11:16That as we love you with all our heart, we'll be enabled more and more to love our neighbor as ourselves.
- 11:24We pray for your kingdom to come in power throughout our land, throughout all authorities over us, Lord.
- 11:32We pray that you will minister to the rulers from on high, on kings and prime ministers and first ministers, presidents throughout our world,
- 11:42and those in positions of authority and power.
- 11:45Lord, give wisdom, Lord, give due diligence to them that they would seek you with all their heart, that they would rule us according to your truth.
- 11:55Lord, we ask it, looking to you to intervene in these days, to come and guide our nations, to guide us to yourself,
- 12:04to restore the lands of this world, to be a people who would honor you with praise on their lips.
- 12:11Remember, you're persecuted people throughout the world.
- 12:15We know there are many and in many places throughout the world.
- 12:18And even in these last few weeks, the watch list has been produced by Open Doors, reminding us, Lord, of the persecution that goes on in so many dark places in the world.
- 12:31But yet we thank you that you have your people there.
- 12:33We thank you that there are those who are persecuted.
- 12:37For it reminds us, Lord, that there are people who will stand up for you, who will honor your name, who will not be turned away.
- 12:46And so we pray for them, Lord.
- 12:47Stand with them.
- 12:49Be near to them.
- 12:50Build your church in these places that through their suffering, glory may come.
- 12:56And that people would turn to the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 13:00So continue with us.
- 13:01We pray, hear us, and go before us in all that we do and all that we say.
- 13:06As we ask all things for the forgiveness of our sins.
- 13:10In Jesus' name.
- 13:11Amen.
- 13:15Let us again sing to God's praise this time in Psalm 36 in the Scottish Psalter, page 251.
- 13:22Psalm 36 on page 251.
- 13:29We're going to sing from verse 5 to verse 10.
- 13:34The tune is London New.
- 13:36Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heavens.
- 13:38Thy truth does reach the clouds.
- 13:40Thy justice is like mountains great.
- 13:43Thy judgments deep as floods.
- 13:45We'll sing from verse 5 down to verse 10 to God's praise.
- 13:52Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heavens.
- 13:59Thy truth does reach the clouds.
- 14:07Thy justice is like mountains great.
- 14:15Thy judgments deep as floods.

- 16:21We're going to read together in the letter of Paul to Titus.
- 16:33Titus chapter 2.
- 16:36We can read the whole of this chapter together.
- 16:39Titus chapter 2.
- 16:41Reading the whole of this chapter.
- 16:42Titus chapter 2.
- 16:42But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine.
- 16:54Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled,
- 17:00sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.
- 17:04Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior,
- 17:07not slanderers or slaves to much wine.
- 17:10They are to teach what is good and so train the young women
- 17:13to love their husbands and children,
- 17:16to be self-controlled, pure, working at home,
- 17:20kind and submissive to their own husbands,
- 17:23that the word of God may not be reviled.
- 17:27Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
- 17:31Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works
- 17:35and in your teachings show integrity, dignity,
- 17:39and sound speech that cannot be condemned,
- 17:43so that an opponent may be put to shame,
- 17:45having nothing evil to say about us.
- 17:49Slaves are to be submissive to their own masters in everything.
- 17:53They are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,
- 17:57not pilfering, but showing all good faith,
- 18:00so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God,
- 18:05our Saviour.
- 18:06For the grace of God has appeared,
- 18:10bringing salvation for all people,
- 18:13training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions,
- 18:17and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives
- 18:21in the present age,
- 18:24waiting for our blessed hope,
- 18:26the appearing of the glory of our great God
- 18:29and Saviour Jesus Christ,
- 18:32who gave himself for us
- 18:34to redeem us from all lawlessness
- 18:37and to purify for himself
- 18:40a people for his own possession
- 18:42who are zealous for good works.
- 18:46Declare these things,
- 18:48exhort and rebuke with all authority.
- 18:52Let no one disregard you.
- 18:56Amen.
- 18:56And may God bless that reading from his word.
- 19:01We're going to sing again to God's praise,
- 19:05this time in Psalm 145,
- 19:08the first version of the Psalm in the Scottish Psalter,
- 19:12singing at verse 15,
- 19:15and the tune is Effingham,
- 19:17verse 15 down to the end of the Psalm,
- 19:21verse 21.
- 19:21The eyes of all things wait on thee,
- 19:25the giver of all good,
- 19:27and thou in time convenient,
- 19:29bestowst on them their food.
- 19:31We'll sing from verse 15 to 21,
- 19:34to God's praise.
- 19:35The eyes of all things wait on thee,
- 19:47the giver of all good,
- 19:54and thou in time convenient,
- 20:01and thou in time convenient,
- 20:02his souls not end their food.
- 20:09Than thou in timeuds on thee,
- 20:13thy hand
- 20:17And of thy body is
- 20:24Enough to satisfy the need
- 20:33Of everything that is
- 20:41The Lord is just in all his ways
- 20:50Only in his works all
- 20:57Of spirit to all that call him
- 21:05In truth that all him call
- 21:13He will accomplish the design
- 21:22Of those that do him fear
- 21:29He also will deliver them
- 21:38And he their pride will hear
- 21:45The Lord presents all good in love
- 21:54That not can them annoy
- 22:00But he of those that may be there
- 22:10Will after me destroy
- 22:16By might the graces of the Lord
- 22:27To publish sins shall never
- 22:33Let all flesh bless his holy pain
- 22:42Forever and forever
- 22:49Now if we can turn back to our reading
- 23:01In the letter of Paul to Titus chapter 2
- 23:04And we're going to look this evening
- 23:07At the end of the chapter
- 23:08Verse 11 to verse 15
- 23:10Verse 11 says
- 23:13For the grace of God has appeared
- 23:15Bringing salvation for all people
- 23:19And so it goes on
- 23:21The grace of God has appeared
- 23:25There are many big words
- 23:28When we come to study the Bible
- 23:30Or when we come to study theology
- 23:33Theology is the study of God
- 23:35And as you study
- 23:37You find that people use
- 23:39When you look at books of theology
- 23:41They use quite big words
- 23:43And sometimes it's hard
- 23:44To get your tongue around them
- 23:46Never mind get your mind
- 23:47Around what some of these words
- 23:49Actually mean
- 23:50But it's important for us
- 23:52To delve into these important words
- 23:55But sometimes it's the little words
- 23:59That are just as important
- 24:01And sometimes it's the little words
- 24:03That can have a very powerful impact on us
- 24:07So as we hear the word of God being read
- 24:10Or as we study God's word
- 24:12There's little words that sometimes appear
- 24:14And they appear very powerfully
- 24:16Little words often speak to us
- 24:20About a battle that is always ongoing
- 24:24So when you look at the Bible
- 24:26And you go maybe to the very beginning of the Bible
- 24:29The opening words of the Bible say
- 24:32In the beginning God
- 24:34Now God isn't a big word in and of itself
- 24:39But it's a huge word
- 24:41In terms of our thinking
- 24:43Of everything that we see around us
- 24:45And as we look at ourselves
- 24:46And as we look at theology as a whole
- 24:48It is the study of God
- 24:50Who he is
- 24:52And what he's done
- 24:53And when you read through the beginning of the Bible
- 24:56And you see in the beginning God
- 24:57You see that he made all things
- 24:59But then it comes to the point where he says
- 25:01And he created man
- 25:03Male and female
- 25:05He created them
- 25:06So you go from one small word God
- 25:09That has such a big emphasis
- 25:11To then focus on the next thing
- 25:14Which we could think of is me
- 25:16Me
- 25:17Where do I fit into all of this
- 25:19Again it's just a small word me
- 25:22Two letters
- 25:23But again it's so important
- 25:25Where do I fit into the scheme of things
- 25:28With God
- 25:30And as you go on in Genesis
- 25:32You find something else happened
- 25:34And another word comes in
- 25:36Sin
- 25:38Again
- 25:40It's a very small word
- 25:42But such an important word
- 25:44To realize that sin
- 25:46Came into the world
- 25:48That this brought enmity
- 25:50Between us and God
- 25:51That there's this battle
- 25:52Going on
- 25:54So all of these small words
- 25:56Remind us of
- 25:58Our beginning
- 25:59Who we are
- 26:00And the problem
- 26:01That exists in this world
- 26:03Between us
- 26:04And knowing God
- 26:06As we should
- 26:07But then God shows us
- 26:10Another couple of words
- 26:12That help us to understand
- 26:14How we can come back to him
- 26:16Two small words
- 26:18We're going to focus on
- 26:19One of them this evening
- 26:20The first one
- 26:21Is faith
- 26:23God speaks of faith
- 26:26It's not a big word again
- 26:28But such an important word
- 26:31To have faith
- 26:32In God
- 26:33But where does faith
- 26:35Come from
- 26:36Well it comes from the word
- 26:37That we're going to study
- 26:38This evening
- 26:39Grace
- 26:41The grace of God
- 26:43That ministers to us
- 26:46And the grace of God
- 26:47Grace is again
- 26:48It's a small word
- 26:49But it's so important
- 26:51And it's packed with so much
- 26:53Grace of God
- 26:54Is a subject
- 26:55We could spend
- 26:56Our whole lives
- 26:57Studying
- 26:58And still never get past
- 27:01The wonder of this
- 27:03That God showed grace
- 27:05At all
- 27:05We don't deserve it
- 27:08But that is what grace is
- 27:10It's a gift
- 27:12A gift
- 27:13Of God
- 27:14We can never
- 27:14Tire of hearing of it
- 27:16That despite our sinful hearts
- 27:18Despite what sin has done
- 27:20To me
- 27:21That God has shown grace
- 27:23He's shown mercy
- 27:25Towards us
- 27:26So that God by his grace
- 27:28Does not desire that
- 27:29Any be lost
- 27:31But instead that
- 27:32All would come
- 27:33And find salvation
- 27:35All would know his grace
- 27:37And come to faith
- 27:39In the Lord Jesus Christ
- 27:41Every sermon preached
- 27:44From the gospel
- 27:45Has the grace of God in it
- 27:48Because that is what the gospel is
- 27:51It is the good news
- 27:52Of a gracious God
- 27:55And so this grace
- 27:57Is vital for us
- 27:59God's grace is seen
- 28:01Throughout the scriptures
- 28:03And it's seen
- 28:04In different ways
- 28:06It's shown
- 28:06In different ways
- 28:08Example
- 28:10In Exodus
- 28:11When Moses
- 28:12Is shown
- 28:13The grace of God
- 28:15In Exodus 34
- 28:16Verse 6
- 28:17It says
- 28:17The Lord passed
- 28:18Before him
- 28:19And proclaimed
- 28:20The Lord
- 28:21The Lord
- 28:22A God
- 28:22Merciful
- 28:23And gracious
- 28:24Slow to anger
- 28:26And abounding
- 28:27In steadfast love
- 28:29And faithfulness
- 28:30A description
- 28:32Of who God is
- 28:34This wonder of God
- 28:36The Lord
- 28:37The Lord
- 28:38A God
- 28:38Merciful
- 28:39And gracious
- 28:39Slow to anger
- 28:41Moses was reminded of it
- 28:44And reminds us of it
- 28:46You see there
- 28:48God's grace and favor
- 28:50You see his grace
- 28:51In more general ways
- 28:53As well
- 28:53Where he leaves
- 28:54No one
- 28:55Without
- 28:56He leaves everyone
- 28:57Without excuse
- 28:58A grace called
- 29:00Common grace
- 29:01Grace shown
- 29:03To everyone
- 29:04For example
- 29:06In Acts 14
- 29:07Verse 17
- 29:08It says
- 29:09Yet he has not
- 29:10Left himself
- 29:10Without testimony
- 29:11He has shown
- 29:12Kindness
- 29:13Or grace
- 29:14By giving you
- 29:15Rain from heaven
- 29:16And crops
- 29:17In their seasons
- 29:17He provides you
- 29:18With plenty of food
- 29:20And fills your hearts
- 29:21With joy
- 29:22He shows this
- 29:23Common grace
- 29:24To all
- 29:25But yet people
- 29:26Don't see it
- 29:28But I want us
- 29:30This evening
- 29:30To think of
- 29:31The grace of God
- 29:32That leads to
- 29:33Salvation
- 29:34His special
- 29:36Grace
- 29:37His grace
- 29:39That he shows
- 29:40Through giving
- 29:41His son
- 29:41The Lord
- 29:43Jesus Christ
- 29:44It's a grace
- 29:45Not merited
- 29:46By us
- 29:47But a grace
- 29:49That gives us
- 29:50Salvation
- 29:51Through faith
- 29:52In the Lord
- 29:53Jesus Christ
- 29:54How would you
- 29:56Describe
- 29:56This grace
- 29:58Have you
- 29:59Experienced
- 30:00This grace
- 30:01Yourself
- 30:02How would you
- 30:03Explain
- 30:04This grace
- 30:05To others
- 30:07So often
- 30:08It's hard
- 30:09For us
- 30:10To put in words
- 30:12But we can often
- 30:14Come back
- 30:14To the fact
- 30:15That grace
- 30:16Is something
- 30:17We don't
- 30:18Deserve
- 30:19But it is
- 30:21A gift
- 30:22From God
- 30:23And so I want us
- 30:24To think of
- 30:25This grace
- 30:25As we see it
- 30:26In these verses
- 30:27Before us
- 30:28This evening
- 30:29Verse 11
- 30:30Through to
- 30:31Verse 15
- 30:31And three things
- 30:32That we see
- 30:33Of this grace
- 30:34Here
- 30:35It's a grace
- 30:36First of all
- 30:37That has appeared
- 30:38To all
- 30:39It sees
- 30:40It's a grace
- 30:41That trains us
- 30:43Or teaches us
- 30:44And it's a grace
- 30:46That gives us
- 30:47Patience
- 30:48To wait
- 30:49Upon the Lord
- 30:50So these three
- 30:51Things we're going
- 30:52To look at
- 30:53This evening
- 30:53First of all
- 30:54The grace
- 30:54It says
- 30:55In verse 11
- 30:57For the grace
- 30:57Of God
- 30:58Has appeared
- 30:59Bringing salvation
- 31:00For all people
- 31:02God's grace
- 31:05Fills so much
- 31:06Of Paul's
- 31:07Teaching
- 31:08Through his letters
- 31:09So as you read
- 31:11Through the New Testament
- 31:12You find again
- 31:14And again
- 31:14Paul speaking
- 31:16Of the wonder
- 31:17Of this grace
- 31:18How special
- 31:19This grace is
- 31:21How we all need
- 31:22To know
- 31:22And experience
- 31:23This grace
- 31:24For ourselves
- 31:25To know
- 31:26This great gift
- 31:27Of eternal life
- 31:28Through God
- 31:30Here in the letter
- 31:32To Titus
- 31:33As he's writing
- 31:34To encourage Titus
- 31:35In the midst
- 31:36Of different trials
- 31:38And tribulations
- 31:39That he's facing
- 31:40Up to himself
- 31:41He gives this
- 31:42Reminder to him
- 31:44And to all
- 31:44Who are with him
- 31:45The grace
- 31:46Of God
- 31:47Has appeared
- 31:47Bringing salvation
- 31:50And the way
- 31:51You find Paul
- 31:52Dealing with grace
- 31:53So often
- 31:54In his letters
- 31:55Is he teaches us
- 31:57About it
- 31:58What it means
- 31:59The teaching
- 32:01Behind it
- 32:02The theology
- 32:03If you like
- 32:04Behind it
- 32:05But he doesn't
- 32:06Just leave it at that
- 32:07He also
- 32:08Often he puts it
- 32:09Then
- 32:09Into how we put it
- 32:11Into practice
- 32:12How we live it
- 32:13Out in our lives
- 32:14How we experience it
- 32:16How we grow in it
- 32:17How we go on
- 32:18In it
- 32:19He teaches the foundations
- 32:20Of what's behind it
- 32:23But then he says
- 32:24You're to live
- 32:25Through it
- 32:26How to live
- 32:28And how to know it
- 32:30And so
- 32:31The same is
- 32:32Is true
- 32:33For ourselves
- 32:34Today as well
- 32:36To know this
- 32:37Grace of God
- 32:39To delve into
- 32:40God's word
- 32:41And to seek
- 32:42To understand
- 32:43More of the
- 32:44Wonder of this
- 32:44Grace
- 32:45And the more
- 32:45We know it
- 32:46The more we
- 32:47Should seek
- 32:48To live
- 32:49It out
- 32:50You see it
- 32:50Even in these
- 32:51Verses
- 32:52Verse 11
- 32:53Through to
- 32:53Verse 14
- 32:55He tells us
- 32:57This grace of God
- 32:58Has appeared
- 32:59Bringing salvation
- 33:00Well what does
- 33:01That mean
- 33:02Well as you go on
- 33:04He shows us
- 33:05That this grace
- 33:06Trains us
- 33:06To turn away
- 33:07From ungodliness
- 33:09And worldly passions
- 33:10To live
- 33:11Self-controlled
- 33:12Waiting
- 33:13For the blessed hope
- 33:14The appearing
- 33:15Of and glory
- 33:17Of our great God
- 33:17And Saviour
- 33:18Jesus Christ
- 33:19There's so much
- 33:20Already in this
- 33:21That the Lord
- 33:22Has come as
- 33:23A saving work
- 33:25To be done
- 33:26For us
- 33:26That he is
- 33:28One who takes
- 33:29Control of our lives
- 33:30That we await
- 33:31His appearing
- 33:32His return
- 33:33The day of the
- 33:35Resurrection
- 33:35He gave himself
- 33:38To redeem us
- 33:40So there's so much
- 33:41Here already
- 33:42So there's
- 33:43Teaching behind it all
- 33:44But then he says
- 33:45At the end
- 33:46Of verse 14
- 33:48He gave himself
- 33:49To redeem us
- 33:50From all unlawless
- 33:51To purify himself
- 33:53A people
- 33:54For his own possession
- 33:55Who are
- 33:56Sealous
- 33:57For good works
- 33:58So these are
- 34:00Going to be
- 34:00A people
- 34:01Who know
- 34:01And understand
- 34:02All that the
- 34:03Lord has done
- 34:04In salvation
- 34:06And redemption
- 34:07In purchasing them
- 34:08That they would be
- 34:10Sealous
- 34:10For good works
- 34:12That they would
- 34:13Serve the Lord
- 34:15With all their heart
- 34:16So God
- 34:18Has appeared
- 34:19To remind us
- 34:21Of the salvation
- 34:23For all people
- 34:24Through Jesus Christ
- 34:26Just like Paul
- 34:28Teaches us
- 34:29In Ephesians 2
- 34:31That we were
- 34:31Dead in our
- 34:32Trespasses and sins
- 34:34But by his grace
- 34:36And mercy
- 34:36Made alive
- 34:37In Christ
- 34:38And this is
- 34:40By grace
- 34:40Through faith
- 34:41Not of works
- 34:43Lest we boast
- 34:43So again
- 34:45We come back
- 34:45It says here
- 34:46Sell us for good works
- 34:47Not to boast
- 34:49In them
- 34:49But to do them
- 34:51Because of what
- 34:51He has done
- 34:52For us
- 34:54Romans 5
- 34:56Again
- 34:57Such a wonderful book
- 34:58So much teaching
- 35:00There to us
- 35:01Of who God is
- 35:02And the riches
- 35:03Of his grace
- 35:04But turns again
- 35:05To often
- 35:06Practical things
- 35:07As well
- 35:08In chapter 5
- 35:09Though it says
- 35:10In verse 10
- 35:11For if
- 35:11When we were
- 35:12God's enemies
- 35:13We were reconciled
- 35:15To him
- 35:15Through the death
- 35:16Of his son
- 35:18How much more
- 35:19Having been reconciled
- 35:20Shall we be saved
- 35:21Through his life
- 35:23So we were enemies
- 35:25But by his grace
- 35:27We are saved
- 35:28And so how much more
- 35:30Shall we be saved
- 35:31Through his life
- 35:33So Paul is here
- 35:35Writing to Titus
- 35:37And to his people
- 35:38There
- 35:38To say
- 35:39The grace of God
- 35:40Has appeared
- 35:41Bringing salvation
- 35:43For all
- 35:44The wonder
- 35:45Of this grace
- 35:47And what did it mean
- 35:49For them
- 35:50Well the people
- 35:51He was writing to
- 35:52They would have
- 35:53Recognized the word
- 35:55Grace
- 35:55They would have
- 35:55Been familiar
- 35:56With it
- 35:57Charis
- 35:58In the Greek
- 35:59They would have
- 35:59Been hearing this word
- 36:00And they would have
- 36:01Recognized what it means
- 36:02It means
- 36:03Doing a favor
- 36:04Doing good
- 36:05For another person
- 36:06But the crux of it was
- 36:09You do good
- 36:09For another person
- 36:10Not expecting
- 36:12Something in return
- 36:13But for them
- 36:15It was always done
- 36:17To friends
- 36:18To people
- 36:20Who they didn't mind
- 36:21Doing good for
- 36:23They wouldn't expect
- 36:24Anything back
- 36:24They weren't looking
- 36:25For anything back
- 36:26They were doing
- 36:27Them a good turn
- 36:27Not expecting
- 36:28Anything back
- 36:29But they were people
- 36:30They loved
- 36:31And they cared for
- 36:32Well Christ brings
- 36:35A richer depth
- 36:37To this grace
- 36:38To this charis
- 36:39He gives it a far
- 36:41Richer meaning
- 36:41Because what he did
- 36:44At Calvary
- 36:45As we were reminded
- 36:46There in that reading
- 36:47In Romans
- 36:47Was for those
- 36:49Who were enemies
- 36:50Those who despised
- 36:53Those who rejected
- 36:55Him
- 36:55He showed favor
- 36:57He showed grace
- 36:58Towards them
- 36:59And this grace
- 37:01That has been revealed
- 37:03Is extraordinary
- 37:04It goes beyond
- 37:07Anything else
- 37:08Anyone has seen
- 37:09To this point
- 37:10There's a fullness
- 37:12There's a richness
- 37:14To them
- 37:14And they're thinking
- 37:15To themselves
- 37:15But how can this be
- 37:18Well it's the wonder
- 37:20Of the grace of God
- 37:22Bringing salvation
- 37:23For all people
- 37:25For anyone
- 37:27Who will come to him
- 37:28Anyone who will bow
- 37:30The knee
- 37:30To the Lord
- 37:31This grace is there
- 37:33For them
- 37:34And you noticed
- 37:35In our reading
- 37:36Of this chapter
- 37:37Verse 1
- 37:39Through to verse 10
- 37:40It's speaking
- 37:41To all the different
- 37:43Kinds of people
- 37:43In that day
- 37:44To men
- 37:45Young and old
- 37:46To women
- 37:47Young and old
- 37:49To slaves
- 37:50To everyone
- 37:51This is speaking
- 37:52To all groups
- 37:53Of society
- 37:54To all who will
- 37:56Receive it
- 37:56To all who will
- 37:58Listen
- 37:58This grace
- 37:59Has been revealed
- 38:00It's appeared
- 38:01Bringing salvation
- 38:03To all people
- 38:04So this grace
- 38:05Is for all
- 38:07Who will listen
- 38:08Grace does not
- 38:10Class people
- 38:11As worthy
- 38:12And unworthy
- 38:14Because of status
- 38:15Or anything else
- 38:16Grace has appeared
- 38:19To all
- 38:20And it is
- 38:21A saving grace
- 38:24There's nothing
- 38:25We can add
- 38:27To this grace
- 38:28There's nothing
- 38:29We can do
- 38:30To earn this grace
- 38:32We are to receive it
- 38:34By faith
- 38:36It is what has been
- 38:37Done for us
- 38:39At the cross
- 38:40Bringing salvation
- 38:42For all people
- 38:45Because of the one
- 38:47As it says
- 38:47In verse 14
- 38:48Who gave himself
- 38:50For us
- 38:52To redeem us
- 38:53From all unlawlessness
- 38:55It is grace
- 38:57Through Christ's works
- 38:59So how thankful
- 39:02Are we
- 39:03For this grace
- 39:04Do you know
- 39:05This grace
- 39:06For yourself
- 39:06Do you long
- 39:07For this grace
- 39:09Yourself
- 39:09Well it's not
- 39:11To earn it
- 39:12Not to work
- 39:13For it
- 39:14But to come
- 39:14And see it
- 39:15In the person
- 39:16Of Jesus Christ
- 39:18And to put your
- 39:19Trust
- 39:19In him
- 39:21And then as
- 39:23We think of
- 39:24Putting our
- 39:25Trust in him
- 39:25As we're called
- 39:26To put our
- 39:27Trust in the
- 39:28Grace of God
- 39:29This grace
- 39:30Then teaches us
- 39:32This grace
- 39:34Teaches us
- 39:35And keeps us
- 39:36Going
- 39:36And you see that
- 39:38In verse 12
- 39:40Training us
- 39:41Teaching us
- 39:43To renounce
- 39:44Ungodliness
- 39:45And worldly passions
- 39:46And live
- 39:47Self-controlled
- 39:48Upright
- 39:49And godly lives
- 39:51In the present age
- 39:53And again you link
- 39:54That into the end
- 39:55Of verse 14
- 39:57A people
- 39:58For his own
- 39:59Possession
- 40:00Sell us
- 40:01For good works
- 40:02So you turn
- 40:03Away by grace
- 40:05From ungodliness
- 40:07Worldly passions
- 40:09All of these things
- 40:11And instead now
- 40:12Sell us
- 40:13For good works
- 40:14Sell us to do
- 40:16The things
- 40:18Of God
- 40:19Jesus saved us
- 40:21Not only
- 40:22That we would
- 40:22Belong to him
- 40:24But that we would
- 40:26Live
- 40:27Like we belong
- 40:28To him
- 40:29That's how
- 40:29Somebody once
- 40:30Put it
- 40:30That we'd
- 40:32Belonged
- 40:33Not only
- 40:33Just belong
- 40:34To him
- 40:34But also
- 40:35We would
- 40:35Live
- 40:36Like we
- 40:37Belong to him
- 40:38And that
- 40:39Convicts us
- 40:40Every one of us
- 40:41I'm sure
- 40:42Who believe
- 40:43In the Lord
- 40:43Jesus Christ
- 40:44Who belong
- 40:44To him
- 40:45Do we live
- 40:46Like we belong
- 40:48To him
- 40:48Do we show
- 40:50That in our lives
- 40:51In how we speak
- 40:52In how we conduct
- 40:53Ourselves
- 40:54In everything
- 40:55That we do
- 40:55Are we showing
- 40:56Us
- 40:56Not just
- 40:57That we belong
- 40:58To him
- 40:59But that we
- 41:00Live
- 41:00Like we belong
- 41:02To him
- 41:02Are we growing
- 41:05In grace
- 41:05Is what is
- 41:06Behind this
- 41:07Because grace
- 41:09Isn't just
- 41:10Coming to that
- 41:11Conversion point
- 41:13Grace is going
- 41:15On
- 41:15In his strength
- 41:17Grace is going
- 41:18Forward
- 41:19In his strength
- 41:20Learning
- 41:21Being trained
- 41:23Being taught
- 41:24To renounce
- 41:25Ungodliness
- 41:26To turn away
- 41:27From it
- 41:28And worldly
- 41:30Passions
- 41:31And to live
- 41:32Self-controlled
- 41:33Upright
- 41:35And godly
- 41:36Lives
- 41:36For us to say
- 41:39Hands up
- 41:39Who lives
- 41:40Like that
- 41:41I doubt
- 41:42If any
- 41:43Hand
- 41:43Would go
- 41:44Up
- 41:44Because we
- 41:45Don't
- 41:46By nature
- 41:47We don't
- 41:47We still
- 41:48Feel
- 41:49Like we're
- 41:50Ungodly
- 41:51And caught up
- 41:51In worldly
- 41:52Passions
- 41:53So often
- 41:53And this
- 41:55Is the key
- 41:56Where grace
- 41:57Comes in
- 41:57Because grace
- 41:58Is what
- 41:59Teaches us
- 42:00And trains
- 42:00Us
- 42:01To renounce
- 42:02These things
- 42:03And to live
- 42:03In that
- 42:04Right way
- 42:05And so
- 42:08We should
- 42:09Long
- 42:09For this
- 42:10To learn
- 42:11To plead
- 42:13With god
- 42:14And to go
- 42:15On in his
- 42:16Strength
- 42:16And perhaps
- 42:19We remember
- 42:20Just what it
- 42:20Was like
- 42:21To live
- 42:21In sin
- 42:22Maybe we're
- 42:23Experiencing
- 42:24These days
- 42:25Just now
- 42:26When we're
- 42:26Struggling
- 42:27In so many
- 42:28Ways
- 42:28The days
- 42:29Like what
- 42:30Paul speaks
- 42:31To the
- 42:31Ephesians
- 42:32Of when you
- 42:32Were dead
- 42:33In your
- 42:34Trespasses
- 42:35And sins
- 42:35And these
- 42:36Things can
- 42:37So easily
- 42:38Seek to
- 42:38Cling on
- 42:39To us
- 42:40Still
- 42:41Days when
- 42:44Sin
- 42:44Was winning
- 42:46The battle
- 42:47Days when
- 42:48God seemed
- 42:49Just so
- 42:50Far away
- 42:51Sin had
- 42:52No meaning
- 42:53Because sin
- 42:54Was normal
- 42:55Sin was
- 42:56Just the
- 42:57Way we
- 42:58Lived
- 42:58But what
- 43:00Changes
- 43:01Grace
- 43:03It is grace
- 43:05That changes
- 43:06Our attitudes
- 43:07Grace that
- 43:08Changes our
- 43:09Sinful desires
- 43:10So that no
- 43:11Longer
- 43:11Do we see
- 43:13These things
- 43:14As normal
- 43:14And just what
- 43:15We do by
- 43:16Nature
- 43:17But we
- 43:17Recognize
- 43:18This is not
- 43:19Right
- 43:19This is not
- 43:21How I want
- 43:22To live
- 43:22My life
- 43:23This is not
- 43:24The way
- 43:25I want
- 43:25To be
- 43:26It is grace
- 43:28That opens
- 43:28Our eyes
- 43:29This irresistible
- 43:30Grace
- 43:31That we
- 43:32Hear of
- 43:33This grace
- 43:34That comes
- 43:35From God
- 43:36That begins
- 43:37To open
- 43:37Our hearts
- 43:38To his word
- 43:39This grace
- 43:40That opens
- 43:41Our eyes
- 43:41To see
- 43:42All that is
- 43:43Wrong
- 43:43In our way
- 43:44Of life
- 43:45And begins
- 43:46To show
- 43:47Us
- 43:47Our need
- 43:48Of Christ
- 43:49And begins
- 43:50To open
- 43:51Our hearts
- 43:51To receive
- 43:52By faith
- 43:53His grace
- 43:55It is grace
- 43:57That teaches
- 43:58Grace
- 43:59That trains
- 44:00But to have
- 44:03That we have
- 44:04To allow
- 44:04This grace
- 44:05Into our lives
- 44:07To long
- 44:08For it
- 44:08To ask
- 44:09The Lord
- 44:09For it
- 44:10There is a
- 44:12Story told
- 44:13Of a young
- 44:14Girl who
- 44:14Had come
- 44:15To faith
- 44:15She believed
- 44:17With all her
- 44:18Heart in the
- 44:18Lord Jesus
- 44:19Christ
- 44:20And just like
- 44:21We do
- 44:22Ourselves
- 44:23The time
- 44:23Came when
- 44:24She was
- 44:24Going to
- 44:25Come
- 44:25For membership
- 44:26In our church
- 44:27And to do
- 44:27So she was
- 44:28Going to
- 44:28Appear
- 44:29Before the
- 44:30Kirk session
- 44:31And she
- 44:32Came
- 44:32To the
- 44:34Kirk session
- 44:35And as
- 44:36Is her
- 44:37Way as
- 44:38Well some
- 44:38Questions were
- 44:39Asked of
- 44:40Her
- 44:40One of the
- 44:41Questions
- 44:41She was
- 44:43Asked was
- 44:43This
- 44:43Were you
- 44:44A sinner
- 44:44Before you
- 44:46Came to
- 44:46Faith in
- 44:47The Lord
- 44:48Jesus
- 44:48Christ
- 44:49Yes sir
- 44:52She replied
- 44:53And then
- 44:55The elder
- 44:56Went on to
- 44:56Ask her
- 44:56Well are
- 44:57You still
- 44:58A sinner
- 44:59To tell you
- 45:01The truth
- 45:01She said
- 45:02I feel
- 45:03I'm a
- 45:04Greater
- 45:04Sinner
- 45:05Than ever
- 45:05So the elder
- 45:07Then asked
- 45:08Another question
- 45:09Then what
- 45:11Real change
- 45:12Have you
- 45:13Experienced
- 45:14And this
- 45:16Is the way
- 45:16She put it
- 45:17I don't
- 45:18Quite know
- 45:18How to
- 45:19Explain it
- 45:20She said
- 45:21Except
- 45:21I used
- 45:23To be
- 45:23A sinner
- 45:25Running
- 45:25After sin
- 45:26But now
- 45:28That I'm
- 45:29Saved
- 45:29I'm a
- 45:30Sinner
- 45:30Running
- 45:31Away
- 45:32From sin
- 45:32The change
- 45:35Is there
- 45:35Before us
- 45:36She used
- 45:37To be a
- 45:38Sinner
- 45:38Running
- 45:39After sin
- 45:40And how
- 45:41Many of
- 45:42Us
- 45:42Were
- 45:43Or even
- 45:43Maybe are
- 45:44In that
- 45:44Situation
- 45:45Sinner
- 45:46Just living
- 45:47For sin
- 45:48But now
- 45:50When we
- 45:50Come by
- 45:51Grace to
- 45:51Know salvation
- 45:52In Christ
- 45:53Jesus
- 45:54We're a
- 45:55Sinner
- 45:55Running
- 45:55From sin
- 45:56Sin
- 45:58Still
- 45:59Cling
- 45:59Sin
- 46:00Sin
- 46:00Stills
- 46:01Battles
- 46:01For us
- 46:02But we
- 46:03As it
- 46:04Says here
- 46:04Seek to
- 46:05Renounce
- 46:06Godliness
- 46:07And worldly
- 46:08Passions
- 46:09Through this
- 46:10Grace
- 46:10Grace
- 46:12Teaches
- 46:12Us
- 46:13That we
- 46:13Should be
- 46:14Eager
- 46:14To do
- 46:16Good
- 46:16Eager
- 46:18To live
- 46:19For Christ
- 46:21So this is
- 46:22Grace
- 46:23That we
- 46:24Need
- 46:25This grace
- 46:25To teach
- 46:27Us
- 46:27In all
- 46:28Of these
- 46:29Things
- 46:29The final
- 46:31Thing that
- 46:32We see
- 46:32Here is
- 46:33This grace
- 46:34Gives us
- 46:35Patience
- 46:36To live
- 46:38And to
- 46:38Wait
- 46:39For the
- 46:40Lord
- 46:40And you
- 46:41See that
- 46:41In verse
- 46:4213
- 46:42Waiting
- 46:44For our
- 46:45Blessed
- 46:46Hope
- 46:47The appearing
- 46:48Of the
- 46:49Glory
- 46:49Of our
- 46:50Great God
- 46:50And Savior
- 46:51Jesus
- 46:52Christ
- 46:53So
- 46:55Verse 13
- 46:57Reminds us
- 46:58That in our
- 46:59Grace as we
- 46:59Live in this
- 47:00World
- 47:00Grace
- 47:01Has so much
- 47:02More to
- 47:02Give us
- 47:03Yet
- 47:03That we
- 47:04Await
- 47:05The return
- 47:06The appearing
- 47:07Of the glory
- 47:08Of our
- 47:09Great God
- 47:09And Savior
- 47:10Jesus Christ
- 47:12As James
- 47:13Is studying
- 47:14In the Sunday
- 47:15Evenings
- 47:16The resurrection
- 47:16This ties
- 47:17Into what
- 47:18We've been
- 47:19Hearing from
- 47:19That study
- 47:20How he
- 47:21Is going
- 47:22To come
- 47:23How he
- 47:24Is going
- 47:24To reveal
- 47:25Himself
- 47:25To us
- 47:26How we
- 47:27Are going
- 47:27To see
- 47:28Grace
- 47:29Fulfilled
- 47:30And grace
- 47:31Fulfilled
- 47:32For ourselves
- 47:33So
- 47:35His
- 47:36Glorious
- 47:37Appearing
- 47:38Has this
- 47:39Sense
- 47:39It could
- 47:40Be
- 47:41At
- 47:41Any
- 47:42Time
- 47:43He could
- 47:44Come
- 47:44At
- 47:45Any
- 47:46Time
- 47:46And again
- 47:48That challenges
- 47:48Us
- 47:49Are we
- 47:50Ready
- 47:50Are we
- 47:52Ready
- 47:52For the
- 47:53Glorious
- 47:53Appearing
- 47:54Of our

- 47:58Living
- 47:59Like we
- 47:59Belong
- 48:00To him
- 48:00Are we
- 48:01Living
- 48:02For him
- 48:03There was
- 48:05Once a
