Praise ye the Lord with my whole heart, I will God's praise declare where the assemblies of the just
0:56
and congregations are.
1:03
The whole works of the Lord have brought are great above all measure, so tight they are of
1:11

His wife most honourable is, most glorious and pure, and his subtainted righteousness,

Give the peace out to all those that truly do in fear,
2:54
And evermore his covenant he in his mind will bear.
3:10
He did the power of his works unto his people's show,
3:25
When he believed and cherished upon them day-toed.
3:45
Let's bow our heads in a word of prayer. Let us pray.
3:49
Our Father in heaven, we do give thanks to you anew this day
3:53
For every opportunity we have to praise your name
3:57
And above all to come together and do it
4:00
Rejoicing as one body with one heart
4:04
Lifting up our voices to you in unity
4:07
To praise you as our Lord and as our God
4:10
And we thank you for this, your day
4:12
We thank you for all that is ours in a new day
4:16
For all the food that we have
4:17
For the clothes that we wear
4:19
For the warmth we enjoy
4:21
The homes that we have
4:22
The many blessings that you give to us day by day
4:25
And may you fill our hearts with thankfulness today
4:29
And may all our praise be towards you
4:32
May you bless us in our time around your word today
4:35
As we worship you
4:37
As we hear from the Bible your word
4:40
As we learn about your goodness and your glory
4:43
We thank you for every way that you speak to us
4:47
We pray that as we are together around your word
4:50
Here in the church and also as the young ones go out
4:53
For the Sunday school and tweenies
4:56
We pray, Lord, for you to watch over them
4:58
And the creche as well
5:00
And all of us together, Lord, to know your peace with us today
5:03
For we thank you that you are a God who is near
5:07
And that you are with us
5:09
For that is your promise
5:11
So continue with us today, Lord
5:13
Go before us
5:14
Pardoning us in all our sin
5:16
As we ask it all in Jesus' name
5:18
Amen
5:19
Just a word to the children before you go out to your classes
5:26
It's good to be together as always
5:28
To worship God
5:30
And to sing praise to him
5:33
And to hear his word
5:34
And how often do we come and give thanks to God?
5:39
Do we do it just when we come to church?
5:43
Or do we do it just on certain days?
5:45
Or do we do it every day?
5:48
Is every day a day when we give thanks to God?
5:51
As you read the Bible
5:53
As we sing from the Bible, from the Psalms
5:56
Very often we hear the phrase
5:59
Give thanks to God
6:00
In Psalm 118 it says
6:03
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good
6:05
His love endures forever
6:08
So how often then do we give thanks?
6:13
How often do we give thanks to people?
6:15
When people do kind things to us
6:18
Do we say thank you to them?
6:20
Do we maybe send a little thank you note
6:23
Or a thank you card for people
6:25
Who have been good to us in different ways
6:27
Remembering us maybe at a birthday time
6:30
A happy time
6:31
A wedding
6:32
Or maybe at a sad time
6:34
When we've experienced loss
6:36
People remember us
6:37
And do we give thanks to them
6:39
For remembering us?
6:40
Or just little things that we do for people
6:43
I got two thank you cards recently
6:47
Just little notes with a few words inside
6:50
Handmade, homemade
6:52
And just a few words inside you
6:54
Inside them
6:55
But what an encouragement it was
6:57
To get them
6:58
For someone to say thank you
7:00
It's great when people remember us
7:03
But what about God?
7:06
God who has given us everything in life
7:09
How often do we give thanks to him?
7:12
There's a story in the Bible about ten lepers
7:15
And leprosy is a disease
7:18
And if you have this disease
7:19
Nobody wants to be near you
7:21
Because it's very contagious
7:23
You can easily catch it
7:25
So everybody keeps away from lepers
7:27
But Jesus came and met with ten lepers
7:31
And he made them well
7:33
He healed them
7:34
And they went away from him
7:36
And as they went away
7:37
They were healed
7:38
How many do you think came back
7:40
And said thank you to Jesus?
7:43
Ten lepers were healed
7:45
How many came back
7:46
And said thank you to Jesus?
7:49
Ten you would think wouldn't you?
7:51
No
7:52
Eight?
7:53
No
7:53
Five?
7:55
No
7:56
Just one
7:58
Just one leper came back
8:01
And said thank you to Jesus
8:03
For making him well
8:05
Isn't that sad?
8:07
Jesus had made them all well
8:08
But only one came back
8:09
To say thank you to Jesus
8:11
And that's the way we are
8:13
Sometimes ourselves
8:15
The Lord is good to us
8:17
His love towards us
8:19
As the psalm says
8:20
Endures forever
8:21
But how often do we come and say
8:24
Thank you Lord
8:25
For everything that we have
8:27
Today we're going to be focusing
8:29
On that theme
8:29
Of thankfulness to God
8:32
And may it be today
8:34
That we are thankful
8:35
For all that he has done for us
8:36
But may it be that every day
8:38
As we start the day anew
8:40
We give thanks to God
8:42
For all of his goodness to us
8:44
For all of his love
8:45
Towards us
8:46
We don't forget him
8:48
Like the nine lepers
8:50
Who never came back
8:51
But we be like the one
8:52
Who did
8:53
And come back
8:54
And say thank you Lord
8:55
For all that you do
8:58
For us
8:58
Well let's say now
9:00
The Lord's prayer together
9:02
Our Father
9:05
Which art in heaven
9:06
Hallowed be thy name
9:08
Thy kingdom come
9:10
Thy will be done on earth
9:12
As it is in heaven
9:14
Give us this day
9:15
Our daily bread
9:17
And forgive us our debts
9:19
As we forgive our debtors
9:21
And lead us not into temptation
9:23
But deliver us from evil
9:25
For thine is the kingdom
9:27
The power and the glory forever
9:30
Amen
9:31
We're going to sing again
9:35
To God's praise
9:36
This time in Psalm 8
9:37
In the Sing Psalms version
9:41
It's on page 8
9:42
Of the Psalm books
9:43
Psalm 8 on page 8
9:46
We'll sing from verse 3
9:49
Down to the end of the Psalm
9:51
And the tune is Winchester
9:54
Psalm 8 at verse 3
9:56
When I regard the heavens you made
9:58
Your fingers work I trace
10:00
I see the moon and shining stars
10:03
Which you have set in place
10:06
We'll sing from verse 3
10:07
Down to the end of the Psalm
10:08
To God's praise
10:10
When I regard the heavens you made
10:21
Your fingers work I trace
10:22
Your fingers work I trace
10:26
I see the moon and shining stars
10:32
Which you have set in place
10:37
I ask myself
10:42
What then is man
10:45
That you should give him thought
10:50
The son of man that you do him
10:57
Such gracious care of God
11:02
You made him little less than those
11:09
Who dwell in heaven above
11:14
And you have crowned and honoured him
11:21
With glory and with love
11:26
You gave him charge of all the works
11:34
Created by your hand
11:39
And everything that you had made
11:45
You gave him to the hand
11:51
All flocks and birds and birds and fish
11:58
All beasts both wild and tame
12:03
In all the earth
12:06
O Lord our Lord
12:10
And glorious is your name
12:15
We'll turn to read in God's Word
12:24
Now in the Old Testament
12:25
And in 1 Chronicles
12:27
We're reading in chapter 29
12:30
So at the end of 1 Chronicles
12:32
You'll find this around page 4 to 6
12:36
Of the Bibles
12:37
1 Chronicles chapter 29
12:41
We're going to read from verse 10
12:43
Here we read about
12:46
Offerings that were made
12:49
To build the temple
12:51
The temple that David
12:52
Had a vision to build
12:54
But ultimately it would be
12:55
Solomon whose son
12:56
Who would build it
12:58
But we find that they had
12:59
David and his people
13:01
Had given much
13:02
Much of their own wealth
13:03
To the rebuilding
13:04
Of the temple
13:07
And here they're giving thanks
13:09
To God
13:10
For the provision
13:11
That was made for that
13:12
And what's interesting about this
13:14
Is although it's speaking
13:16
About David and the people
13:18
Before they built the temple
13:19
In the first place
13:21
The writer to the Chronicles
13:23
Is speaking many hundreds
13:25
Of years later
13:26
And it's at a time
13:28
When that first temple
13:29
Was in ruin
13:31
And they were about
13:32
To rebuild
13:33
Or encouraged
13:34
To rebuild
13:35
The temple
13:36
So that's a little background
13:37
As we come
13:37
To this book
13:39
1 Chronicles chapter 29
13:41
Reading at verse 10
13:43
Therefore David
13:46
Blessed the Lord
13:47
In the presence
13:48
Of all the assembly
13:49
And David said
13:50
Blessed are you O Lord
13:52
The God of Israel
13:54
Our Father
13:55
Forever and ever
13:57
Yours O Lord
13:58
Is the greatness
13:59
And the power
14:00
And the glory
14:01
And the victory
14:02
And the majesty
14:03
For all that is in the heavens
14:05
And in the earth
14:06
Is yours
14:07
Yours is the kingdom O Lord
14:09
And you are exalted
14:11
As head above all
14:13
Both riches
14:14
And honour
14:15
Come from you
14:16
And you rule
14:17
Over all
14:17
In your hand
14:19
Are power and might
14:20
And in your hand
14:22
It is to make great
14:23
And to give strength
14:24
To all
14:25
And now
14:26
We thank you
14:28
Our God
14:29
And praise
14:30
Your glorious name
14:31
But who am I
14:33
And what is my people
14:35
That we should be able
14:36
Thus to offer willingly
14:37
For all things
14:39
Come from you
14:40
And of your own
14:41
Have we given you
14:42
For we are strangers
14:44
Before you
14:45
And sojourners
14:46
As all our fathers were
14:48
Our days on earth
14:50
Are like a shadow
14:51
And there is no abiding
14:52
O Lord our God
14:54
All this abundance
14:56
That we have provided
14:57
For building you a house
14:58
For your holy name
14:59
Comes from your hand
15:01
And is all your own
15:02
I know my God
15:05
That you test the heart
15:06
And have pleasure
15:08
In uprightness
15:09
In the uprightness
15:10
Of my heart
15:11
I have freely offered
15:12
All these things
15:13
And now I have seen
15:15
Your people
15:16
Who are present here
15:17
Offering freely
15:18
And joyously
15:20
To you
15:20
O Lord
15:22
The God of Abraham
15:23
Isaac and Isaiah
15:24
Our fathers
15:26
Keep forever
15:27
Such purposes
15:28
And thoughts
15:29
In the hearts
15:29
Of your people
15:31
And direct their hearts
15:32
Towards you
15:33
Grant to Solomon
15:35
My son
15:36
A whole heart
15:37
That he may keep
15:39
Your commandments
15:40
Your testimonies
15:41
And your statutes
15:42
Performing all
15:44
And that he may build
15:45
The palace
15:47
For which I have made provision
15:48
Then David said
15:50
To all the assembly
15:52
Bless the Lord
15:53
Your God
15:54
And all the assembly
15:56
Blessed the Lord
15:57
The God of their fathers
15:58
And bowed their heads
16:00
And paid homage
16:00
To the Lord
16:02
And to the king
16:03
And they offered
16:04
Sacrifices to the Lord
16:06
And on the next day
16:07
Offered burnt offerings
16:09
To the Lord
16:09
A thousand bulls
16:11
A thousand rams
16:13
And a thousand lambs
16:14
With their drink offerings
16:16
And sacrifices
16:17
In abundance
16:17
For all Israel
16:18
And they ate
16:20
And drank
16:20
Before the Lord
16:21
On that day
16:23
With great gladness
16:24
And they made Solomon
16:26
The son of David
16:27
King
16:27
The second time
16:28
And they anointed him
16:30
As prince for the Lord
16:31
And Sadok
16:32
As priest
16:33
Then Solomon
16:35
Then Solomon sat
16:35
On the throne
16:36
Of the Lord
16:36
As king
16:37
In place of David
16:38
His father
16:38
And he prospered
16:40
And all Israel
16:41
Obeyed him
16:41
All the leaders
16:43
And the mighty men
16:44
And also
16:44
All the sons
16:46
Of king David
16:47
Pledged their allegiance
16:48
To king Solomon
16:49
And the Lord
16:50
Made Solomon
16:51
Very great
16:52
In the sight
16:53
Of all Israel
16:53
And bestowed on him
16:55
Such royal majesty
16:56
As had not been
16:57
On any king
16:59
Before him
17:00
In Israel
17:00
Thus David
17:02
The son of Jesse
17:03
Reigned over all Israel
17:06
The time that he reigned
17:07
Over Israel
17:08
Was forty years
17:09
He reigned for seven years
17:11
In Hebron
17:12
And thirty-three years
17:14
In Jerusalem
17:14
Then he died
17:16
At a good age
17:17
Full of days
17:18
Riches
17:19
And honour
17:20
And Solomon
17:21
His son
17:22
Reigned in his place
17:23
Now the acts
17:24
Of king David
17:25
From first to last
17:27
Are written
17:28
In the chronicles
17:29
Of Samuel the seer
17:30
And the chronicles
17:31
Of Nathan the prophet
17:33
And in the chronicles
17:34
Of Gad the seer
17:36
With accounts
17:37
Of all his rule
17:38
And his might
17:39
And of the circumstances
17:41
That came upon him
17:42
And upon Israel
17:43
And upon all the kingdoms
17:45
Of the countries
17:47
Amen
17:48
And may God bless
17:49
That reading
17:50
From his word
17:52
As again
17:54
Unite our hearts
17:55
In prayer
17:56
Let us pray
17:56
Lord our gracious God
18:00
We do thank you
18:02
For your word
18:03
And we thank you
18:04
For every reason
18:05
It gives to us
18:06
To come before you
18:08
With thanksgiving
18:09
And especially
18:10
That you are a God
18:11
Who remembers
18:12
Your people
18:13
That you remember
18:15
Our frailties
18:17
That you remember
18:17
That we are dust
18:19
And that you have made us
18:21
In your image
18:23
And with a purpose
18:24
We thank you
18:25
For every remembrance
18:26
You have towards us
18:27
And that you have given us
18:29
Your word
18:30
You have given us
18:32
Your truth
18:33
That we might live by it
18:35
That you have given us
18:36
Your son
18:37
Jesus Christ
18:39
The one who came
18:40
To be the light
18:41
Of the world
18:42
And to show us
18:44
The way
18:45
To salvation
18:46
We thank you
18:48
We thank you
18:48
That you have given us
18:49
Your own spirit
18:50
The Holy Spirit
18:51
To dwell with us
18:53
To be alongside us
18:55
To be within us
18:56
To be the one
18:58
Who prompts us
18:59
And leads us
18:59
In your paths
19:01
And we thank you
19:03
Together
19:04
For all your goodness
19:05
Towards us
19:06
And we pray Lord
19:08
That we will remember you
19:09
That we will remember you
19:11
With much thanksgiving
19:13
That we will remember you
19:14
With all our hearts
19:16
Even as we have read
19:17
In your word there
19:19
That we will be a people
19:20
Who in our hearts
19:21
Are devoted to you
19:23
Who treasure you
19:25
And your word
19:26
And who honour you
19:27
With all that we are
19:28
And all that we have
19:29
And so we thank you
19:31
Lord today
19:32
That you are with us
19:34
That you are near
19:35
And that we know that
19:36
In so many different ways
19:38
Even like the psalmist
19:40
In Psalm 8
19:41
Which we sung together
19:42
As he lifted his eyes up
19:44
And as he regarded
19:45
The heavens
19:46
That your fingers
19:48
Had made
19:49
All of your creation
19:51
All around
19:51
Even as we see it today
19:54
In all its glory
19:55
And splendour
19:56
As we think of
19:56
This time of year
19:58
When the days get longer
20:00
And when growth
20:01
Comes once again
20:03
We marvel at it
20:04
And we marvel at the beauty
20:06
Of your creation
20:07
But we can feel like
20:09
The psalmist
20:10
When we say
20:10
What is man
20:11
That you are mindful of him
20:13
How you remember us
20:15
Lord
20:15
In the midst of all things
20:17
But yet we thank you
20:18
That even though
20:20
We are unworthy of it
20:22
That your love
20:23
Is still poured out upon us
20:25
And we pray Lord
20:26
Today for
20:27
Ourselves as a people here
20:30
And a people
20:31
All around us today
20:32
Throughout our land
20:34
Throughout our world
20:35
That people would hear
20:37
Of your love
20:39
People would hear
20:40
Of your mercy
20:41
Towards us
20:42
People would hear
20:43
Of your goodness
20:44
That even as creation
20:47
Speaks to all
20:48
We pray that through that
20:50
That your voice
20:51
Would be heard
20:52
That they would see
20:53
That there is a creator
20:54
Behind it all
20:55
One who is Lord
20:57
And God
20:58
One who has provided
21:00
For us
21:00
A way
21:01
To salvation
21:02
A way to peace
21:03
A way to enjoy
21:05
Blessings beyond
21:07
All our imagination
21:08
Even when there are
21:09
Darkest of days
21:11
In this world
21:11
When things seem
21:12
To be going
21:14
Away from us
21:15
When we are
21:16
As it were
21:17
Assailed by so many
21:18
Troubles
21:19
When we feel
21:20
Overwhelmed by
21:21
The troubles
21:22
Of this world
21:23
When we are fearful
21:25
For all that goes on
21:27
May you draw near to us
21:29
And remind us
21:30
That you are with us
21:31
That you are the one
21:33
Who many
21:34
Decades ago
21:36
Many generations ago
21:37
Spoke with the disciples
21:40
A word of peace
21:41
In the midst of the storm
21:42
When the waves
21:43
Raged upon their boat
21:45
Peace
21:46
Be still
21:47
We pray Lord
21:48
That your voice
21:49
Will go out
21:51
In our midst today
21:52
That your voice
21:53
Will be heard
21:54
Far and wide
21:55
A voice that would
21:56
Bring that peace
21:57
And stillness
21:58
To our world
21:59
And to our people
22:00
Lord
22:02
Remember
22:02
As we pray
22:04
Remember us
22:04
In our homes
22:06
And in our families
22:07
We thank you Lord
22:08
For one another
22:09
And pray
22:10
That in our different needs
22:12
That you will surround us
22:13
That you will uphold us
22:14
That you will strengthen us
22:16
That you will hear our prayers
22:18
For one another
22:18
That you will hear our prayers
22:20
For loved ones
22:21
And all around us
22:23
People who are going through
22:24
Difficult trials
22:26
And tests just now
22:27
Those who are unwell
22:29
Those who are awaiting
22:30
Treatment of various kinds
22:32
Those who are mourning
22:34
The loss of loved ones
22:36
Those who are anxious
22:37
And afraid
22:37
Of many different things
22:39
Those who are struggling
22:41
In life
22:42
Struggling with addiction
22:44
Struggling with
22:45
Financial insecurity
22:47
Struggling with
22:49
All kinds of different problems
22:51
Lord
22:51
We know
22:52
The troubles are many
22:54
But Lord
22:55
We thank you
22:56
That you are able to help
22:58
And may
22:58
We call upon your name
23:00
All the more
23:00
As we see and hear
23:02
Of all the different needs
23:03
Around us
23:04
Lord
23:05
We commit ourselves
23:06
Into your hands
23:07
We pray Lord
23:09
Your blessing on your word
23:10
Today as it goes out
23:11
Here and far and wide
23:13
That it will be blessed
23:15
To many
23:15
Remember those who gather
23:17
For the sacrament
23:19
Of the Lord's Supper
23:20
Today
23:20
We pray your blessing
23:21
On those who minister
23:23
In our own presbytery
23:24
Today around the Lord's Supper
23:26
We pray that you will bless
23:28
Each one
23:28
And be with them
23:29
We pray Lord
23:31
For ministers of the gospel
23:32
Near and far
23:34
That you will uphold
23:35
And strengthen each one
23:36
We know Lord
23:38
That there are many
23:38
Who feel downcast
23:40
And dismayed
23:41
In these days
23:42
So many going through
23:44
Their own times
23:45
Of affliction
23:46
And distress
23:47
And times of grief
23:48
We commit them to you
23:50
Lord
23:51
You know them each one
23:52
And we remember
23:53
Your servant
23:55
Reverend Robert McLeod
23:56
Today
23:56
A retired minister
23:58
In her own denomination
23:59
Who
24:00
Whose wife sadly
24:01
Passed away this week
24:03
We pray
24:03
For him and his family
24:05
At this time
24:06
Lord
24:06
That you will surround them
24:07
Be with them
24:08
Uphold them
24:09
And be their strength
24:11
Lord
24:12
We know that
24:12
You are our shepherd
24:14
And in that
24:15
We give thanks
24:16
That you will lead us
24:18
Not just by the quiet waters
24:20
But that you promise
24:21
To lead us
24:22
Even in the valley
24:23
Of the shadow of death
24:25
We pray Lord
24:27
That you will remind us
24:28
That there is
24:28
A place for your people
24:30
A place of rest
24:32
A place of peace
24:33
A place of great joy
24:36
We will be gathered
24:37
To the Lord
24:38
At the end of our days
24:40
And so Lord
24:41
Hear our prayers
24:42
Continue with us
24:43
Throughout this day
24:45
Be with us
24:45
In the evening as well
24:46
As we gather
24:47
Around your word there
24:48
Be with
24:49
Reverend Kenny I. McLeod
24:50
As he leads us
24:51
In the worship
24:52
This evening
24:52
We pray for him Lord
24:54
And his preparations
24:55
For that
24:56
And that do us
24:57
All good today
24:58
And watch over us
24:59
We pray
25:00
As we ask all things
25:01
With forgiveness
25:02
Of our sins
25:03
In Jesus name
25:04
Amen
25:05
I will praise God
25:11
Once again
25:12
In this
25:13
Singing in Psalm 100
25:15
In the Sing Psalms version
25:18
Page 131
25:21
Psalm 100
25:24
Psalm 100
25:24
And page 131
25:26
We will sing
25:27
The whole of this
25:28
Psalm together
25:29
The tune is
25:30
Golden Hill
25:30
Shout to the Lord
25:32
With joy
25:33
All who to earth
25:34
Belong
25:35
Adore the Lord
25:36
With joyful hearts
25:38
And come
25:38
To him in song
25:40
We will sing
25:40
The whole of this
25:41
Psalm
25:41
To God's praise
25:43
Amen
25:43
Amen
25:44
Amen
25:44
Amen
25:44
Amen
25:45
Amen
25:46
Amen
25:46
Amen
25:46
Amen
25:47
Amen
25:48
Amen
25:48
Amen
25:49
Amen
25:50
Shout to the Lord
25:52
With joy
25:55
All who to earth belong
26:02
Adore the Lord
26:06
With joyful hearts
26:10
And come to him
26:14
In song
26:16
Know that the Lord is God
26:25
He made us as his own
26:32
We are the sheep
26:37
For him be here
26:41
His people is alone
26:47
And tithe his gates with praise
26:56
His courts with thankfulness
27:04
Your praises gladly sing
27:10
To him
27:12
His name forever bless
27:20
For God the Lord is good
27:28
His love is ever sure
27:35
His constant truth and faithfulness
27:45
Through every age and due
27:51
Amen
27:53
We can turn back to where we read
27:59
In 1st Chronicles
28:00
In chapter 29
28:02
1st Chronicles 29
28:06
We're looking at this section
28:09
Really first
28:10
Verse 10
28:11
Down to verse 22
28:12
But we can read again
28:14
At verse 13
28:15
And now we thank you
28:19
Our God
28:21
And praise
28:21
Your glorious name
28:24
Now we thank you
28:26
Our God
28:27
And praise
28:28
Your glorious name
28:30
This was a time
28:34
As the Chronicle
28:35
Is looking back
28:36
To the days
28:37
When David
28:38
And the people
28:39
Were about to begin
28:40
Building
28:41
A temple
28:43
A place
28:44
For God's people
28:45
To worship God
28:46
A permanent place
28:48
Where they could come
28:48
And worship God
28:50
So this was a time
28:51
When much activity
28:53
Had taken place
28:54
As they were gathering together
28:56
Different materials
28:57
And much activity
28:59
Was going to take place
29:01
As they would begin
29:01
Building the temple
29:04
But in between
29:06
The two
29:07
We find
29:09
In this section
29:10
A time
29:10
To pause
29:12
And a time
29:13
To reflect
29:15
And a time
29:16
As we see there
29:17
In verse 13
29:18
To give thanks
29:20
To God
29:21
And praise
29:21
His glorious name
29:23
If you listen
29:26
To the travel news
29:27
On the radio
29:28
On a regular basis
29:30
This one place
29:31
I'm sure you've heard
29:33
Mention of
29:33
Many times
29:35
In the travel news
29:36
And the place
29:36
Is called
29:37
Rest and be thankful
29:40
It's often heard
29:43
On the news
29:44
Because it's a place
29:45
That is closed
29:47
A road
29:48
That is closed
29:49
It's a road
29:50
The A83
29:51
That's in Argylland Butte
29:54
And it's a road
29:55
That crosses over
29:56
A high point
29:57
As you're making
29:59
A way along it
29:59
And the rest
30:01
And be thankful
30:02
Is the point
30:03
Where it's at
30:04
Its highest
30:05
And you usually hear
30:07
This place
30:08
Is closed
30:09
Or at least
30:11
That's what we often
30:12
Maybe focus on
30:13
But you'll also hear
30:15
That it's a place
30:16
That has reopened
30:18
The two go together
30:20
A place that is closed
30:21
But a place
30:22
That is reopened
30:24
Now is it a place
30:26
That when you hear
30:27
About you think
30:27
That's a place
30:28
I would love
30:29
To go to
30:30
Well it depends
30:32
What kind of
30:32
Outlook you have
30:34
You might just think
30:35
Oh that's a place
30:36
That's often
30:37
Always closed
30:38
There's no point
30:39
Going there
30:40
I might get stuck
30:42
Or you might think
30:45
Well it's a place
30:46
That's more often
30:47
Open than it's closed
30:48
And there must be
30:49
A reason why
30:50
It's called
30:51
Rest and be thankful
30:53
I want to go
30:54
And see
30:55
What it's about
30:56
And when you think
30:59
About that
30:59
And you think
31:00
About that place
31:01
It reminds us
31:02
Of another place
31:03
That we can often
31:04
Think is a place
31:05
That is closed off
31:07
And that is
31:08
When we find
31:10
Ourselves
31:10
In a situation
31:12
When nothing
31:13
Seems to be
31:13
Going right
31:14
For ourselves
31:15
Or for the world
31:16
In which we live in
31:18
A place where
31:19
We think
31:21
Just looking around us
31:22
Nothing's going right
31:24
In this world
31:25
How can I possibly
31:28
Come to God
31:29
In thanksgiving
31:30
What do I have
31:32
To give thanks for
31:34
It's almost like
31:34
That road
31:35
To thanksgiving
31:36
To God
31:37
Is closed
31:38
Or do we see
31:40
Even in the midst
31:41
Of a time
31:42
When nothing
31:43
Seems to be going
31:43
Right
31:44
That we actually
31:45
Do have much
31:46
To be thankful
31:47
For
31:47
And that the way
31:49
To God
31:50
Is open
31:51
That he is near
31:53
For us
31:53
To call upon
31:55
And that we would
31:57
See that he is
31:58
There for us
31:59
And that we are
31:59
To spend
32:00
That time
32:01
Coming to him
32:02
And giving thanks
32:03
For all that he
32:05
Has done for us
32:06
Why is
32:07
The place
32:08
Rest and be
32:09
Thankful
32:10
So called
32:11
Well it got
32:13
Its name
32:13
Many many years
32:15
Long before
32:16
People started
32:16
To travel
32:17
By cars
32:18
When people
32:19
Would be
32:19
Traveling
32:20
Maybe by horse
32:20
Or even
32:21
By walking
32:22
Great distances
32:23
And this place
32:25
Became known
32:26
As the rest
32:27
And be thankful
32:28
Because it was
32:29
At the highest
32:29
Point of the
32:30
Climb
32:31
So whichever
32:32
Direction you
32:33
Were going
32:33
In you were
32:34
Always coming
32:34
To this high
32:35
Point
32:35
And it was
32:37
A place where
32:38
Travellers would
32:39
Stop
32:39
And rest
32:41
And be
32:42
Thankful
32:43
As they would
32:44
Look at the
32:45
Climb
32:45
They've come
32:46
Up
32:46
They'll be
32:47
Thankful
32:47
For that
32:48
As they would
32:48
Look ahead
32:48
To going
32:49
Down the other
32:50
Side
32:50
And continuing
32:51
Their journey
32:51
They'll be
32:52
Thankful
32:52
And they'd
32:53
Have this
32:54
Time
32:55
Of rest
32:56
And when we
32:58
Think of our
32:58
Lives today
32:59
And how busy
33:00
Our lives can be
33:02
And how much
33:03
Chaos there can
33:04
Be all around
33:05
Us
33:05
Isn't it wonderful
33:07
That God has
33:08
Given us in
33:08
His wisdom
33:09
A day
33:10
The Lord's
33:12
Day
33:12
A high point
33:15
For us
33:15
At the beginning
33:16
Of a week
33:17
Where we can
33:17
Look back
33:18
Whether it's
33:19
Over the last
33:20
Week or weeks
33:21
Or months
33:21
Or even years
33:22
We can look
33:23
Back and give
33:24
Thanks to God
33:25
And we can
33:27
Look forward
33:28
To what lies
33:29
Ahead and give
33:30
Thanks that God
33:30
Promises to go
33:32
With us
33:32
And while we
33:33
Are here in
33:34
This day
33:34
In this time
33:35
That we can
33:36
Rest
33:37
That we can
33:39
Rest around
33:40
God's word
33:41
That we can
33:42
Rest among
33:43
One another's
33:44
Fellowship
33:45
That we can
33:45
Rest as we
33:46
Go back to
33:47
Our homes
33:48
And reflect
33:49
On what God
33:50
Has done
33:51
For us
33:51
And that we
33:52
Can be
33:52
Thankful
33:53
For what
33:54
He has
33:55
Done
33:55
For us
33:56
So the
33:58
Rest and
33:58
Be thankful
33:59
Was a place
34:00
Where people
34:01
Paused
34:02
And reflected
34:03
And today
34:05
Is that
34:06
For us
34:06
Every Lord's
34:08
Day
34:08
A time
34:08
To rest
34:09
To pause
34:10
And reflect
34:11
And be
34:12
Thankful
34:13
To God
34:13
For all
34:14
That he's
34:15
Taken us
34:15
From
34:15
For all
34:16
That he's
34:16
Going to
34:17
Take us
34:17
Into
34:18
And for
34:18
All that
34:19
He is
34:20
To us
34:21
As his
34:22
People
34:22
And so
34:24
May we
34:24
Realize
34:25
Today
34:25
That the
34:26
Rest and
34:27
Be thankful
34:27
That we
34:28
Have
34:28
The way
34:29
Is open
34:30
The way
34:31
To God
34:32
Is open
34:33
And that's
34:34
What we see
34:35
In this
34:35
Passage
34:36
That the
34:36
People
34:36
David and
34:37
The people
34:38
Of God
34:38
Were pausing
34:39
To rest
34:40
And to be
34:41
Thankful
34:41
And to
34:42
Praise
34:42
God's
34:43
Glorious
34:44
Name
34:44
They
34:45
Stopped
34:46
To give
34:47
Thanks
34:47
To him
34:48
And we
34:48
Want to
34:48
Reflect
34:49
On this
34:49
Time
34:50
Of
34:50
Thanksgiving
34:51
That they
34:51
Had
34:52
And see
34:52
Three
34:52
Things
34:53
From it
34:53
And the
34:55
First thing
34:55
Is the
34:56
Setting
34:56
Of their
34:58
Thanksgiving
34:58
The second
35:00
Thing is the
35:00
Source
35:01
Of their
35:02
Thanksgiving
35:02
And then
35:03
Thirdly
35:04
We'll see
35:05
The security
35:05
Of their
35:07
Thanksgiving
35:07
So the
35:09
First thing
35:09
We want to
35:10
See is
35:10
The setting
35:11
Of their
35:12
Thanksgiving
35:13
As we
35:17
Turn
35:18
And look
35:19
At this
35:19
Chapter
35:19
We see
35:20
That the
35:20
People
35:21
Have
35:21
A lot
35:23
To give
35:23
Thanks
35:24
For
35:24
Much
35:25
Reason
35:26
To give
35:27
Thanks
35:27
For
35:27
But what
35:28
Is the
35:28
Actual
35:29
Setting
35:30
Of their
35:31
Thanksgiving
35:32
As I
35:33
Said as
35:34
We were
35:34
Going to
35:35
Read this
35:35
Chapter
35:36
It was
35:36
A time
35:37
Of
35:37
Preparation
35:38
The
35:40
People
35:40
Had
35:40
Been
35:41
Worshipping
35:42
God
35:42
Up to
35:42
This
35:43
Point
35:43
In
35:44
A
35:44
Tent
35:44
A
35:45
Tent
35:46
Was
35:46
Their
35:46
Temple
35:47
A
35:47
Place
35:47
That
35:48
They
35:48
Would
35:48
Build
35:49
And
35:49
Put
35:49
Up
35:49
In
35:49
Different
35:50
Places
35:50
As
35:50
They
35:51
Travelled
35:51
Around
35:52
But
35:53
David
35:53
Had
35:54
This
35:54
Vision
35:55
To
35:55
Build
35:56
A
35:57
Temple
35:57
For
35:58
God
35:59
A
35:59
Permanent
35:59
Place
36:00
Of
36:00
Worship
36:00
That
36:01
They
36:01
Could
36:01
Worship
36:02
God
36:02
Together
36:03
Now
36:04
David
36:05
Wouldn't
36:05
Build
36:05
It
36:06
Solomon
36:07
His
36:07
Son
36:08
Would
36:08
But
36:08
As
36:08
You
36:08
See
36:09
Here
36:09
David
36:10
Was
36:10
Very
36:10
Much
36:10
In
36:11
In
36:11
The
36:11
Preparation
36:12
For
36:13
It
36:13
And
36:14
Here
36:14
He's
36:14
Speaking
36:15
About
36:15
A
36:16
Time
36:16
Of
36:16
Preparation
36:17
To
36:17
Build
36:18
This
36:19
Temple
36:19
In
36:20
The
36:20
Previous
36:21
Verses
36:21
Of
36:22
This
36:22
Chapter
36:23
We
36:23
Didn't
36:23
Read
36:24
But
36:54
Pause
36:56
To
36:56
Pause
36:56
For
36:56
And
36:56
Think
36:56
What
36:57
Is
36:57
3,000
36:58
Talents
36:59
Of
37:00
Gold
37:00
It's
37:01
Not
37:02
The
37:02
Kind
37:02
Of
37:02
Currency
37:04
That
37:04
We
37:04
Use
37:04
Or
37:05
Carry
37:05
Around
37:05
Ourselves
37:06
It's
37:06
Not
37:06
The
37:06
Kind
37:07
Of
37:07
Prices
37:07
You
37:08
See
37:08
On
37:09
The
37:09
Shelves
37:09
In
37:10
The
37:10
Shop
37:11
A
37:11
Talent
37:12
Of
37:12
Gold
37:13
But
37:14
It's
37:14
Worth
37:14
Just
37:15
Reflecting
37:15
On
37:16
What
37:16
Kind
37:16
Of
37:17
Worth
37:17
This
37:18
Had
37:18
3,000
37:20
Talents
37:21
Of
37:22
Gold
37:22
One
37:23
Talent
37:24
Is
37:25
34
37:26
Kilograms
37:27
Now
37:29
If you
37:29
Want to
37:29
Go
37:29
And
37:30
Find
37:30
Out
37:30
The
37:31
Worth
37:31
Of
37:31
Gold
37:32
You
37:32
Can
37:32
Do
37:32
So
37:32
You
37:32
Can
37:33
Go
37:33
Online
37:33
And
37:34
Very
37:34
Often
37:34
It's
37:35
Priced
37:35
Per
37:36
Ounce
37:36
That's
37:37
How
37:37
Precious
37:38
It
37:39
Is
37:39
You
37:40
Look
37:40
At
37:40
The
37:40
Price
37:41
Of
37:41
One
37:42
Kilogram
37:43
Of
37:43
Gold
37:44
1.8
37:45
Million
37:46
Pounds
37:46
And
37:47
If
37:48
You
37:48
Do
37:48
The
37:48
Calculations
37:49
And
37:49
You
37:50
See
37:50
3,000
37:51
Talents
37:52
Of
37:53
Gold
37:53
With
37:54
One
37:54
Talent
37:54
Equaling
37:55
34
37:56
Kilograms
37:57
How
37:57
Much
37:57
Value
37:58
Did
37:58
David
37:59
Give
37:59
Just
38:00
In
38:00
Gold
38:01
To
38:01
The
38:01
Building
38:02
Of
38:02
The
38:02
Temple
38:03
You
38:04
Do
38:04
Calculations
38:05
In
38:05
Today's
38:06
Value
38:06
You're
38:07
Talking
38:07
Nearly
38:08
Five
38:08
And
38:08
A
38:08
Half
38:09
Billion
38:09
Pounds
38:10
These
38:11
Are
38:12
Not
38:12
Small
38:12
Figures
38:13
We're
38:14
Talking
38:14
About
38:14
Here
38:15
This
38:15
Is
38:15
Not
38:15
Just
38:15
A
38:15
Small
38:16
Amount
38:17
Of
38:17
Gold
38:17
This
38:18
Is
38:18
Huge
38:19
Amounts
38:20
Of
38:20
Gold
38:21
And
38:21
Then
38:21
You
38:21
Add
38:21
To
38:22
That
38:22
Ten
38:23
Thousand
38:23
Five
38:24
Thousand
38:24
Talents
38:25
Of
38:25
Gold
38:26
From
38:26
The
38:26
People
38:26
As
38:27
Well
38:27
As
38:27
Well
38:28
As
38:28
The
38:28
Silver
38:28
And
38:29
Everything
38:29
Else
38:30
The
38:30
Bronze
38:30
And
38:31
Iron
38:31
And
38:31
Everything
38:32
Else
38:32
That
38:32
Went
38:32
Into
38:33
This
38:33
Temple
38:33
It
38:34
Was
38:34
It
38:34
Was
38:34
A
38:34
Priceless
38:35
Thing
38:35
And
38:37
They
38:37
Were
38:37
Giving
38:38
Of
38:38
Their
38:39
Resources
38:39
So
38:40
You
38:40
Think
38:40
To
38:41
Yourself
38:41
Well
38:41
This
38:41
Was
38:42
Obviously
38:42
A
38:43
Time
38:43
Of
38:44
Plenty
38:45
David
38:46
Had
38:46
Much
38:47
To
38:47
Give
38:47
The
38:47
People
38:48
Had
38:48
Much
38:48
They
38:49
Could
38:49
Give
38:49
So
38:49
You
38:50
Think
38:50
To
38:50
Yourself
38:50
Well
38:51
It's
38:51
Easy
38:52
To
38:52
Give
38:53
Thanks
38:53
In
38:54
This
38:54
But
38:56
Remember
38:57
What
38:57
I
38:57
Said
38:57
About
38:58
The
38:58
Chronicler
38:59
Writing
39:00
This
39:01
And
39:02
The
39:02
Chronicler
39:03
Writing
39:03
In
39:03
A
39:03
Time
39:04
When
39:04
This
39:04
Temple
39:05
That
39:05
Would
39:05
Be
39:05
Built
39:06
Was
39:07
Now
39:07
In
39:08
Ruin
39:08
All
39:10
This
39:10
Value
39:10
That
39:11
Had
39:11
Gone
39:11
Into
39:11
Building
39:12
It
39:12
It's
39:13
Been
39:13
Destroyed
39:14
It's
39:15
Just
39:15
In
39:15
Ruin
39:16
It's
39:16
Been
39:17
Stolen
39:17
Probably
39:18
Most
39:18
Of
39:18
It
39:18
And
39:19
What
39:19
Wasn't
39:19
Worth
39:20
Anything
39:20
Is
39:20
Just
39:20
Left
39:21
In
39:21
Ruin
39:22
But
39:23
When
39:23
You
39:24
Look
39:24
At
39:24
The
39:25
Situation
39:26
That
39:27
They're
39:27
In
39:27
Here
39:28
You
39:28
See
39:29
It
39:29
Was
39:29
A
39:30
Time
39:30
Of
39:30
Plenty
39:31
But
39:31
It
39:32
Was
39:32
Also
39:32
A
39:32
Time
39:33
When
39:33
They
39:33
Realized
39:34
That
39:34
The
39:34
Value
39:34
Of
39:34
The
39:35
Things
39:35
Of
39:35
This
39:35
World
39:36
Meant
39:37
So
39:37
Little
39:37
It
39:38
Was
39:38
All
39:39
Just
39:39
Temporary
39:40
Their
39:40
Heart
39:40
Was
39:41
Not
39:41
Set
39:41
On
39:42
The
39:42
Things
39:43
Of
39:43
This
39:43
World
39:43
Their
39:44
Heart
39:44
Was
39:44
Set
39:45
On
39:45
God
39:46
And
39:47
You
39:47
Look
39:47
At
39:47
Verse
39:48
15
39:48
Where
39:49
It
39:49
Says
39:50
For
39:50
We
39:50
Are
39:50
Strangers
39:51
Before
39:51
You
39:52
And
39:52
So
39:52
So
39:52
As
39:53
All
39:54
Our
39:54
Fathers
39:55
Were
39:55
Our
39:55
Days
39:56
On
39:56
Are
39:56
Like
39:57
A
39:57
Shadow
39:57
And
39:58
There
39:59
Is
39:59
No
39:59
Abiding
40:00
The
40:01
Setting
40:02
Of
40:02
Their
40:02
Thanksgiving
40:03
Is
40:03
Yes
40:04
A
40:04
Time
40:05
Of
40:06
Much
40:06
A
40:07
Time
40:07
Of
40:07
Great
40:07
Wealth
40:08
But
40:09
Also
40:10
A
40:10
Time
40:10
When
40:10
There
40:10
Is
40:11
A
40:11
Realization
40:12
That
40:12
What
40:12
Is
40:13
Important
40:13
Is
40:14
Not
40:14
The
40:14
Wealth
40:15
Of
40:15
This
40:15
World
40:16
But
40:17
The
40:17
Love
40:18
Of
40:18
God
40:19
Towards
40:20
Them
40:20
And

To
40:23
The

People
40:24
Of
40:24
His
40:24
Day
40:25
A
40:26
People
40:26
Who
40:27
Were
40:27
Looking
40:27
Around
40:28
Them
40:28
And
40:28
Seeing
40:29
The

Of
40:30
The
40:31

40:31

40:32
So
40:32
Chronicles
40:33
Is
40:33
A
40:33
Bit
40:33
Like
40:34
A
40:34
History
40:34
Book
40:35
It
40:35
Is
40:35
A
40:35
Bit
40:35
Like
40:36
For

Our

40:37
Today
40:37
Reading
40:37
A

Book
40:38
About
40:38
Revivals
40:39
Of
40:40
The
40:40
Past
40:40
Going
40:41
Back
40:41
Maybe
40:41
Many
40:42
Generations
40:43
We're
40:43
Reading
40:44
About
40:44
Something
40:44
That
40:45
Happened
40:45
Long
40:46
Ago
40:46
And
40:47
Thinking
40:47
It
40:48
Was
40:48
Okay
40:48
For
40:48
Them
40:49
It
40:50
Was
40:50
Great
40:50
For
40:50
Them
40:51
But
40:51
What
40:51
About
40:51
Us
40:52
Today
40:53
What
40:54
About
40:54
Our
40:54
Situation
40:55
Today
40:55
When
40:56
The
40:56
Church
40:56
Instead
40:57
Of
40:57
Being
40:57
In
40:57
Revival
40:58
Just
40:58
Seems
40:58
To
40:59
Be
40:59
In
40:59
Decline
41:00
But
41:01
What
41:01
The
41:02
Chronicler
41:02
Is
41:02
Doing
41:03
Is
41:03
Reminding
41:04
Them
41:04
Of
41:04
God's
41:05
Greatness
41:07
And
41:07
His
41:07
Love
41:08
That
41:08
Endures
41:09
Forever
41:10
They
41:11
Are
41:11
Surrounded
41:11
By
41:12
Ruin
41:12
But
41:13
He's
41:13
Calling
41:14
Them
41:14
Back
41:14
To
41:15
God
41:15
Calling
41:17
Them
41:17
To
41:17
Trust
41:18
God
41:18
And
41:19
To
41:19
Give
41:19
Thanks
41:20
To
41:20
God
41:21
Because
41:22
If
41:22
We're
41:22
Only
41:23
Focused
41:23
On
41:24
A
41:24
Problem
41:24
It's
41:26
Hard
41:26
To
41:27
Give
41:27
Thanks
41:28
If
41:29
We're
41:29
Only
41:29
Focused
41:30
On
41:30
The
41:30
Chaos
41:31
All
41:31
Around
41:32
Us
41:32
The
41:33
Chaos
41:33
In
41:33
Our
41:33
Own
41:34
Lives
41:34
It's
41:35
Hard
41:35
To
41:36
Give
41:36
Thanks
41:37
But
41:38
When
41:39
We
41:39
Focus
41:39
More
41:40
And
41:40
More
41:40
On
41:40
God
41:41
We
41:42
Realize
41:42
That
41:42
Yes
41:43
Our
41:43
Days
41:44
In
41:44
This
41:44
World
41:44
Are
41:45
Just
41:45
Like
41:45
Strangers
41:46
And
41:46
Sojourners
41:47
To
41:47
Our
41:48
Days
41:49
On
41:49
Earth
41:49
Are
41:49
Like
41:50
A
41:50
Shadow
41:50
As
41:50
He's
41:51
Saying
41:51
There
41:51
Is
41:51
No
41:51
Abiding
41:52
Here
41:53
Here
41:53
Here
41:53
We
41:53
We
41:53
Don't
41:53
Have
41:54
A
41:54
Place
41:55
Of
41:55
Permanent
41:55
Residence
41:56
But
41:58
We
41:58
Look
41:58
To
41:58
God
41:59
And
42:00
We
42:01
Trust
42:01
In
42:02
Him
42:02
We
42:04
Give
42:04
Thanks
42:05
To
42:05
Him
42:05
Whatever
42:06

42:15
When

He
42:16
Looks
42:16
Back
42:16
And
42:17
When

42:18
As

Thankful

Seem
43:54
Insecure
43:55
And
43:55
Uncertain
43:56
In
43:58
Many
43:58
Different
43:58
Ways
43:59
But
43:59
Yet

About

45:44
Power

And
45:45
In
45:45
Your

45:46
It

Is
45:47
To

We've
45:53
Spoken
45:53
Ourselves
45:54
Already
45:54
Today
45:55
It's
45:56
Very
45:56
Similar
45:56
To
45:57
The
45:57
Lord's
46:01
Prayer
46:02
It's
46:02
Very
46:03
Similar
46:03
To
46:04
The
46:04
Lord's
46:05
Prayer
46:06
In
46:07
That
46:07
The
46:07
Focus
46:07
Is
46:08
On
46:08
Our

All
46:14
About
46:14
His

46:15
His
46:15

46:16
His
46:16
Glory
46:16
Which
46:17
Is
46:17
Forever
46:18
Very
46:19
Similar
46:20
Words
46:20
To
46:21
What
46:21
We
46:21
Have
46:22
Here
46:22
And
46:24
It's
46:24
Just
46:24
A
46:24
Reminder
46:25
To
46:25
Us
46:25
As
46:26
David
46:26
Is
46:26
Reminding
46:27
Himself
46:28
And
46:28
The

46:29
Reminding
46:30
The

Today
46:33
That

Amen
46:48
When
46:50
Jesus
46:50
Gave
46:51
His
46:51
Disciples
46:52
That
46:52
Prayer
46:52
To

Us
46:56
How

To
46:57

46:57
The
46:59
God
46:59
Who
46:59
Provides
47:00
For
47:00
Us
47:00
On
47:01
A
47:01
Daily
47:01
Basis
47:02
Is
47:02
Worthy
47:03
Of
47:03
All
47:04
Our
47:04
Praise
47:05
We
47:07
Are
47:07
Not
47:07
Kings
47:08
We
47:10
We
47:10
Don't
47:10
Have
47:10
The

The
47:13
We
47:14
Don't
47:17
Have
47:18
That
47:18
But
47:20
David
47:21
Realizes
47:21
That
47:21
Even
47:22
Though
47:22
He
47:22
Had
47:22
It
47:22
It
47:23
Was
47:23
All
47:24
From

It

Is
47:27
All
47:27
Yours
47:28
He
47:29
Is
47:29
Saying
47:29
Here
47:30
And
47:31
He
47:31
Dwells
47:31
On
47:31
That
47:32
For
47:32
A
47:32
Moment
47:32
In
47:33
This
47:33
Prayer
47:34
Of

47:34
That's
47:35
Where

47:41
The
47:42
Majesty
47:42
Everything
47:43
We
47:43
Have
47:44
Is
47:44
From
47:45
Your
47:46
Hands
47:46
Even
47:47
As
47:48
King
47:48
In
47:49
Power
47:49
And
47:50
Ruling
47:50
Over
47:50
All
47:50
These

47:51
And
47:51
Nations
47:52
And
47:52
Kingdoms
47:53
He
47:54
Was
47:54
Nothing
47:55
In
47:56
Comparison
47:56
To
47:57
God
47:57
And
47:59
You
47:59
Think
47:59
Of
47:59
Our
48:00
Royal
48:01
Family
48:01
Today
48:01
And
48:02
All
48:02
That
48:02
They
48:02
Have
48:02
They're
48:02
Not
48:03
Immune
48:03
From
48:03
Their
48:03
Troubles
48:04
Their
48:05
Wealth
48:05
And
48:06
Their
48:06
Riches
48:06
Cannot
48:06
Save
48:07
Them
48:07
From
48:07
The
48:07
Troubles
48:08
Of
48:08
This
48:09
World
48:09
Nothing
48:10
Can
48:11
But
48:12
Resting
48:12
In
48:13
God
48:14
I'm
48:15
Reminded
48:15
Of
48:16
A
48:16
Speech
48:17
That
48:17
Queen
48:17
Elizabeth
48:17
Did
48:18
Some
48:18
Of
48:18
You
48:18
Will
48:19
Remember
48:19
These
48:19
Words
48:20
I'm
48:20
Sure
48:20
When
48:21
Back
48:22
In
48:22
1992
48:23
Towards
48:24
The
48:24
End
48:24
Of
48:24
The
48:24
Year
48:25
I
48:25
Think
48:25
It
48:25
Was
48:25
November
48:25
Time
48:26
She
48:27
Made
48:27
A
48:27
Speech
48:28
To
48:28
The
48:29
Nation
48:29
In
48:30
Which
48:31
She
48:31
Described
48:31
The
48:32
Past
48:32
Year
48:32
As
48:32
The
48:33
Annus
48:33
Horribilis
48:34
A
48:35
Horrible
48:35
Year
48:36
And
48:37
It
48:37
Had
48:37
Been
48:38
It
48:38
Had
48:38
Been
48:38
A
48:39
Difficult
48:39
Year
48:40
For
48:40
Her
48:40
And
48:41
For
48:41
The
48:41
Royal
48:41
Family
48:42
Here
48:43
She
48:43
Was
48:43
As
48:44
Queen
48:45
With
48:45
All
48:46
The
48:46
Wealth
48:46
You
48:46
Could
48:46
Imagine
48:47
And
48:48
Yet
48:49
It
48:49
Had
48:49
Been
48:49
A
48:49
Horrible
48:50
Year
48:51
And
48:53
That
48:53
Can
48:53
Be
48:53
The
48:53
Case
48:54
For
48:54
All
48:54
Of
48:54
Us
48:54
No
48:55
Matter
48:55
Whether
48:56
We've
48:56
Got
48:56
Much
48:56
Or
48:57
Little
48:58
We
48:59
Can
48:59
All
48:59
Experience
49:00
These
49:00
Horrible
49:01
Times
49:02
These
49:02
Difficult
49:03
Times
49:04
These
49:04
Are
49:04
Days
49:05
That
49:05
We
49:05
All
49:05
Have
49:05
To
49:06
Face
49:07
Up
49:07
To
49:07
But
49:10
How
49:10
Do
49:10
We
49:10
Face
49:10
Up
49:11
To
49:11
Them
49:11
That's
49:11
The
49:11
Question
49:12
Well
49:14
Do
49:14
We
49:15
Rest
49:15
Do
49:17
We
49:17
Stop
49:17
Do
49:17
We
49:18
Pause
49:18
And

Is
49:39
Encouraging
49:39
His

And
49:40
Looking

At
49:41
The
49:41
Ruin
49:41
Of

Almost
49:56
What's
49:57
The
49:57
Point
49:57
God
49:58
Has
49:59
Left

So
50:01
They

Just

Themselves
50:03
And
50:04
On

Their
50:04
Own
50:04
Houses
50:05
That's
50:05
That's
50:05
The
50:05
Challenge
50:06
That
50:07
Haggai
50:07
Put

To

50:09
Were
50:09
Resting
50:09
In
50:10
Themselves
50:11
And
50:11
Not
50:11
In

God
50:12
So
50:14
The
50:14
Chronicle
50:14

And
50:22
By

50:23
That
50:23
We
50:23
Can

50:24
We
50:24
Must

Return
50:25
To

Him
50:26
And
50:28
So
50:28
It

And
51:11
That's
51:11
True

Ourselves
51:13
And
51:13
God
51:13
When
51:14
God
51:15
Seems
51:15
Distant
51:16
We
51:16
Think
51:16
There's
51:16
No
51:17
Help
51:17
That
51:17
God
51:18
Can

No

Him
51:21
The

51:22
Closed

That

When
51:25
That
51:25
Was
51:26
The

Me
51:32
He
51:32
Keeps
51:32
Saying
51:33

51:33
And
51:34

Him
51:41
That
51:41
He
51:41

Pour
51:42
Down
51:42
His
51:42
Blessings
51:43
Upon

51:44
See
51:45
The
51:45
Power
51:46
Of
51:46
God
51:46
So
51:48
If

We
51:48
Don't
51:48
Go
51:49
To
51:49

Us
51:55
But
51:57
He's
51:57
Saying
51:57
Come
51:58
Come
51:59
Like
52:00
Jesus'

Found
52:24
In

52:26
That's
52:26
Why
52:27
He
52:27
Comes
52:27
To
52:27
That
52:27
Point
52:28
In

Willingly

52:53
It's

52:55
As

Are
53:07
Worthy
53:07
Of
53:08
God's
53:09
Blessing
53:10
But
53:12
We

Are
53:12
A
