- 41:58He's not going to do it.
- 42:28He's not going to do it.
- 42:58And that's this one.
- 43:28He's not going to do it.
- 43:58He's not going to do it.
- 44:28He's not going to do it.
- 44:58He's not going to do it.
- 45:28He's going to do it.
- 45:58He's not going to do it.

- 47:58He's not going to do it.
- 48:28But it's going to do it.
- 48:58He's going to do it.
- 49:28He's going to do it.
- 49:58He's going to do it.
- 50:28He's going to do it.
- 50:58He's going to do it.
- 51:28He's going to do it.
- 51:58And I'm here to do it.
- 52:28And you're very attentive.
- 52:58He's going to do it.
- 53:28And you're going to do it.
- 53:58And you're going to do it.
- 54:28At that time anyway, I don't know what they do nowadays,
- 54:31but there was what they called an automatic pilot on the boat.
- 54:37It wasn't a person.
- 54:39It was just a wee wheel
- 54:40that once you left all the narrows and the shallows into the ocean,
- 54:46and it locked onto that.
- 54:59It wasn't perfect, of course,
- 55:01but there was motors that worked on both sides.
- 55:04It would bring it back,
- 55:07and the other side, bring it back.
- 55:09And it's very like the Christian faith.
- 55:12At the heart of the earth,
- 55:14it is not cast out
- 55:18once you are locked into that system.
- 55:24And who wouldn't want to be locked into that system?
- 55:28Wouldn't you like it?
- 55:31If Christ came to you today and said,
- 55:34do you want to be made whole?
- 55:37And you say,
- 55:38well, I remember an old person saying that in a church
- 55:42when we were on holidays,
- 55:44and he talked about this thing,
- 55:47he talked about that thing,
- 55:49and the whole chick saw comes together
- 55:53and fits into your lives.
- 55:57and I pray today that this would be the case.
- 56:05I spoke to him again and again,
- 56:07he says,
- 56:07to story,
- 56:08because he had restored to them,
- 56:11to him,
- 56:13the years that the locust had eaten.
- 56:15He would have been a happy man,
- 56:26surely.
- 56:2938 years
- 56:30under the curse of sin
- 56:34and redeemed
- 56:36in the precious blood
- 56:39of Jesus Christ.
- 56:45God's unmerited favor
- 56:47towards man.
- 56:48And if you take anything at all
- 56:52away from here today,
- 56:54Mother Ruth,
- 56:54Samila,
- 56:57remember now
- 56:58your creator
- 57:00in the days of your youth.
- 57:02lest the evil days come.
- 57:07And you say to yourself,
- 57:08I have no delight.
- 57:11And there's many today out there
- 57:13who say that.
- 57:14Everything.
- 57:15I have no delight.
- 57:16I have no aim in life.
- 57:17I have no aim in life.
- 57:21Because their course in life
- 57:23wasn't corrected.
- 57:26And they went askew
- 57:27from these things.
- 57:30And they fell into company.
- 57:31And you see the result of it
- 57:40on your television
- 57:41every night,
- 57:42day of life.
- 57:54And that's how John Newton
- 57:56put it in one of his hymns.
- 57:58Fading is the swaddling's treasure.
- 58:01All its boasting pomp
- 58:04and show.
- 58:06Solid joys
- 58:07and lasting treasures.
- 58:11None
- 58:11but silence,
- 58:13children.
- 58:15No.
- 58:16May that be
- 58:17your portion
- 58:18and our old portion
- 58:19today.
- 58:21That this was seat
- 58:22that fell
- 58:22into good
- 58:24soil.
- 58:24and God bless you
- 58:27wherever you're going.
- 58:30Pray to you
- 58:30as I take you home
- 58:31safely
- 58:32to your own places
- 58:33and find
- 58:35a place
- 58:36to worship
- 58:36where the gospel
- 58:37is breached
- 58:39by the end.
- 58:41You might be there
- 58:41for all I know.
- 58:42I don't know.
- 58:43That's not my business.
- 58:45But we'll leave it
- 58:46at that just now.
- 58:48That was a request
- 58:49he made.
- 58:50He was asked,
- 58:51do you want to be made whole?
- 58:53He said,
- 58:53I don't have anybody
- 58:54and Jesus said,
- 58:55I'm not on about that.
- 58:58What I'm on about
- 58:59is
- 58:59you want to be made whole.
- 59:03and that's when
- 59:06your whole body
- 59:06comes together.
- 59:08You become
- 59:09a whole person,
- 59:10my friend.
- 59:12Spiritually
- 59:13and physically
- 59:14the two are kept together
- 59:16in the way of God.
- 59:20The highway to heaven
- 59:21is along
- 59:23that way.
- 59:26May God bless us.
- 59:29Lord, we pray
- 59:29that you would
- 59:30bless us now
- 59:31and keep us
- 59:32mindful of
- 59:34who we are
- 59:34and whom we serve.
- 59:37You will never
- 59:45be separated
- 59:46from your own
- 59:47because you
- 59:48have bought them
- 59:49with your own blood
- 59:50on the cross of Calvary.
- 59:53Amen.
- 1:00:02Now we conclude
- 1:00:04by singing
- 1:00:05from
