Well, good evening to everyone.
If you would open your Bibles with me to Psalm 119. Our scripture
reading this evening will be taken from Psalm 119. We'll begin
our reading in verse 137. And as you're turning, let me
make this announcement. We have announced recently that
we are planning on having our first in-person worship service
on Wednesday the 20th of this month. But in light of recent
court rulings, we're able to move that up. And our first in-person
worship service will be this Sunday, Sunday the 17th. Now,
the details of how we will do that as safely as possible are
found on the church Facebook page. So please check the guidelines
that are there on the Facebook page. And we have to follow these
things exactly so that we do this as safely as possible, keep
our brothers and sisters safe and comfortable so that we can
worship together. And I am greatly looking forward
to being able to see you and at least see the whites of your
eyes and be able to worship our Lord together in the manner that
we've been given. All right, Psalm 119, beginning
in verse 137. Righteous art thou, O Lord, and
upright are thy judgments. Thy testimonies that thou hast
commanded are righteous and very faithful. My zeal hath consumed
me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. Thy word
is very pure, therefore thy servant loveth it. I am small and despised,
yet do I not forget thy precepts. Thy righteousness is an everlasting
righteousness, and thy law is the truth. Trouble and anguish
have taken hold on me, yet thy commandments are my delights. The righteousness of thy testimonies
is everlasting. Give me understanding, and I
shall live. Let's bow together in prayer.
Our Father, Lord, we bow in thy presence this evening, seeking
a blessing from the storehouses of your mercy and grace that
you have reserved for your people. Father, bless us in this hour
of worship, I pray. Give us a true hour of worship.
Father, I beg of thee in this hour that you would not leave
me alone, but that you would uphold me with thy spirit, speak
to my heart, and open my mouth that I might speak comfortably
to the hearts of your people. Father, enable me to rightly
divide the word of truth and to preach your gospel in the
power of your spirit, to preach clearly and simply, to be able
to preach Christ and get out of the way so that your people
see Believe the Lord Jesus Christ. And Father, be with your people.
Give us a hearing ear, give us a believing heart. Father, bless
this means that you've given to us. We thank you that you
have provided this means that we can hear your gospel preached. And Father, I pray you'd bless
it. Bless your word to your glory and to the good of your people,
we pray. Father, we pray that you'd be with your people who
you brought into the time of trouble and trial. They're brokenhearted. They're facing sickness and trouble. Father, we pray for them. We
pray for our sister, Jessica Clark, at this time that she's
going through these different procedures that you'd undertaken
her behalf to heal her body and strengthen her and comfort her
heart and her family's heart at this difficult time. Father, others that need you
especially, they're bereaved of loss of loved ones and hurting.
Father, bless, we pray. Comfort their hearts with your
presence. And we continue, Father, to pray for our world at this
time, that you would provide some relief from this horrible
virus, and that you'd be with our leaders, give them wisdom
to know how to lead us, and be with the medical people and profession,
that you would use them as an instrument to provide some healing
and cure for this thing, that our world might get back to some
sense of normalcy. Now, Father, again, bless us
in this hour. Bless us as we look into your word, we pray.
For it's in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ we pray
and ask these blessings. Amen. All right, now you know
well if you've been listening to this series in the Book of
Psalms, you know well by now that Psalm 119 is a poem. It has one eight-verse stanza
for each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and the
theme of the whole psalm, the theme of each stanza, is the
Word of God. both the written Word of God
and Christ, the incarnate Word of God. And I want us to go through
each of these stanzas to see this, that Christ is the theme
of each of these stanzas. So from A to Z, all the letters
of the alphabet, Christ is all. Now tonight we begin looking
at the 18th stanza. This stanza tells us about Christ,
our righteousness, that righteousness is in the Lord Jesus Christ and
that righteousness is obtained through faith in Christ, not
by our works of the law, but through faith in Christ, by believing
him. The Hebrew letter for this stanza
has to do with the righteous foundation and right justice,
right judgment. Now, God alone is righteous. The only righteousness that there
is is God's righteousness. The only foundation that we can
have of salvation is the righteousness of God. The only way any son
of Adam can be righteous is by humbly depending upon God, leaning
upon God our foundation, on Christ our righteousness. That's what
the letter for this stanza represents. Now let's look at this stanza
and see that in the eight verses of this stanza. Verse 137, righteous
art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments. Now God's
character is righteous. So everything God does must be
done in righteousness. God is righteous in all of his
dealings with men. Everything God does is righteous.
So really, we can never say that's not fair. We can't say what's
going on in our world right now is not fair. Everything God does
is righteous in all of his dealings with the sons of men. God is
righteous when he damns the unbeliever. It's the only just right verdict
for sin. But God is also righteous when
He shows mercy to sinners. God's going to save somebody.
He's going to save His people. But when He does it, it must
be done in a righteous way. It must be righteous for God,
just and right for Him to show mercy to sinners. And this is
what fills God's people with awe and wonder. This is what
makes the hearts of God's people bow in worship and thanksgiving. When God shows mercy to sinners
and saves us by His grace, God is right and just to do it. When
God saves His people, He's right. He's righteous. He's just. Because
at Calvary, the Father was righteous. He was just when He put Christ,
our substitute, to death for the sin of God's elect. The Father
was right to do that. He made His Son sin for His people. And then He poured out upon His
Son everything the sin of His people deserves. Christ suffered
untold agony, agony of body and soul, and then he died because
that's exactly what sin deserves. It was the only right and just
verdict the father could give his son when he was made sin
for his people. Now at Calvary, an innocent man
did not die. At Calvary, justice was carried
out. See, for an innocent man to die, that would mean that
it's unrighteous for an innocent man So God can't do that. God
can't do something that's unrighteous or unjust. At Calvary, a guilty
man died because the father made his son sin. Now he never sinned. He was never a sinner, but he
was made sin. He became guilty of the sin of
his people. That's how the father was righteous,
right and just to condemn his son and put him to death. Now
since the Lord Jesus Christ is the substitute for his people,
He bore their sin. He bore the punishment for their
sin. He made His people righteous. He was made sin for His people
so that His people could be made the righteousness of God in Him.
Now, the Lord Jesus Christ made His people righteous. He made them righteous. You think
of that. His people, God's elect, were
born sinners. But the Lord Jesus Christ by
his obedience and by his sacrifice made those people righteous. Now they're righteous and God
can never condemn a righteous man. So no one for whom Christ
died can ever be condemned because he made them righteous. So salvation
in Christ is just. The sin of God's elect has already
been punished in the death of our substitute. Justice has already
been satisfied in the death of our substitute. Well, then it's
right for God to justify his people, to show them mercy and
grace. This is a just salvation. Not
only is it merciful, not only is it gracious, it's just. And a just salvation can never
be taken back by a just and righteous God. Now, I know that this is
a mystery to the natural mind. It can't be understood by the
natural mind. But this is what every saved
person believes. You hear that gospel, the gospel
of substitution, the gospel of substitution and satisfaction,
how that Christ was made sin for his people. He suffered and
died to put that sin away. And by his sacrifice, they're
made righteous. And you say, I don't understand
how that happened, but that's how I'm made righteous. That's
the only way I could be saved. That's the only way. And my advice
to those who cannot figure this out, cannot figure out how God
could do that. My advice is quit trying to figure it out and rejoice
in it. Rejoice in both the wisdom and
the grace of such a righteous salvation in Christ the Savior. Well, verse 138, thy testimonies
that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
The God's testimony that he has commanded is his word. The word,
the Bible is the testimony of who God is, who man is, and how
God saves sinners. Now God's very character is righteous
and he is faithful. Not only is everything that God
does right, God is faithful to do every right thing that he
has promised to do. Everything in this book is pure. It's pure truth. There's no error
in it. It's pure truth so you can hang
your soul upon it. This book, the Bible, tells us
who God really is. It tells us what God is like.
We're not left to have to imagine or figure out, wonder what God's
like. God's given us a book that tells us who He is, what He's
like. God is holy and He's merciful. God is just and He's merciful.
He's gracious. God can only accept perfection.
He's just and perfect and holy, yet He's merciful. God is just,
yet He's gracious to sinners. This book tells us what God's
like. And this book tells us what we're
really like. This book tells us that you and I are nothing
but sin. We're all sin. Everything we think, everything
we do, everything we want to do, everything we say is full
of sin. Everything we are is the opposite
of who God is, and everything that we are is the opposite of
what God will accept. Not only do we not want, or not
only we're not capable of doing anything but sin, we don't even
want to be holy. We don't even want to do righteousness. We don't even want to do what
God will accept because of our nature. Our nature is a sin nature. By nature we love sin and hate
holiness. That's what this book says. This
book that's nothing but truth says that's who you and I are
by nature. That's the truth. So God and man are polar opposites,
aren't they? How can those two opposites ever
meet? How can holiness and sin ever meet? How can God's holiness
and a sinful man ever meet? Well, God's Word also tells us
that. It tells us the truth of who God is. It tells us the truth
of who man is, but God's word also tells us the truth about
how God saves sinners. Now God cannot ignore sin. If he could ignore sin, he wouldn't
be holy. He wouldn't be just. God cannot ignore sin. So God
has punished the sin of his elect in Christ our substitute. Now
that lets God be righteous when he saves his sinful people. Every
promise of God is faithful. because God is faithful to do
everything that he's promised to do in a righteous way. Everything in this book is faithful. It will come to pass in a righteous
way. God has promised that he will
save his people from their sin. God has promised he will forgive
the sin of his people. God has promised eternal life
to all of his people. They're born dead in trespasses
and sin, but God's promised to give them eternal life. God has
promised that He will never leave nor forsake His people. God has
promised that His grace will be sufficient for every trial. Remember, I told you, God is
righteous. He's right in all of His dealings
with the sons of men. When God sends a trial to His
people, and it hurts, it's painful, we can't say that's not fair.
No, it's fair, it's right, and you know it's gracious. God could
be sending that trial just so we'd see more of His graciousness,
His love, His tender care for His people. God has promised
grace sufficient for every trial. He's promised no matter how deep
the water, no matter how difficult the trial, He has promised to
never leave nor forsake His people. That's just a very, very few
of the promises you'll find in God's Word. Well, God will faithfully
perform all of those promises of His grace in truth. in righteousness because of what
the Lord Jesus Christ has accomplished for his people, where he made
it right for God to save his people. He made it right for
God to forgive the sin of his people. The Lord Jesus Christ
made it right for God to give eternal life to his people. The
Lord Jesus Christ made it right for God to never leave nor forsake
his people. He made it right. Oh, thank God
for the Lord Jesus Christ. He made it right for God to show
mercy to sinners. He made it right for God to fulfill
all of these precious promises in his word to his people. Now
verse 139, my zeal hath consumed me because mine enemies have
forgotten thy words. Now this is the Lord Jesus Christ
speaking. Christ's zeal to please his father,
his zeal to bring in everlasting righteousness for his people
caused him to give everything he had. He gave everything he
had to obey God's law. Christ's zeal caused him to do
everything that the Father gave him to do and to do it perfectly. He was consumed with performing
righteousness. He was consumed with honoring
and pleasing his Father. He had such tunnel vision, such
zeal for the work that the Father gave him to do, he never took
a day off. He never turned to the left or
the right. He just had tunnel vision, a zeal for doing what
the Father had given Him to do in redeeming His people. His
zeal to please His Father and His zeal to save His people consumed
Him. It caused Him to be consumed
like the burnt offering that was offered on the altar before
the Lord. Look back at Psalm 69. Psalm
69. Verse 6. This is the Savior speaking. He says, Let not them that wait
on thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake. Let not
those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel,
because for thy sake I have borne reproach. Shame hath covered
my face in my zeal, for thy sake, because this is what you've told
me to do, for your glory to satisfy you I have borne reproach. I have borne the sin of my people.
So don't let my people be confounded. Don't let them be found guilty
because I have borne their sin. Don't let them see me suffering
and dying as their sacrifice and stumble because it's such
a shameful, ignominious death. Don't let them stumble and fall
that they'd look away and not trust me because I was made sin
for them. I've borne their reproach. I've borne their sin. I've made
them not guilty. So don't let them be confounded.
Don't let them be found not or don't let them be found guilty.
Verse eight, he goes on. He said, I've become a stranger
unto my brethren and an alien unto my mother's children. Now
the Lord Jesus Christ suffered alone. All his friends, all his
disciples, they all left him. They had to leave him alone because
only Christ can accomplish the salvation of his people. The
sacrifice of Christ alone can pay for sin. So nobody could
be there with him. They all had to abandon him so
that nobody could be mistaken and think, oh, well, his disciples
helped him accomplish salvation. No, he was abandoned. He was
left alone because Christ alone could bear the sin of his people.
Christ alone could put away the sin of his people. By his sacrifice
alone. He had to suffer alone. And he
did it willingly. Look what it says here, verse
9. For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches
of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me. Christ's zeal
to save his people from their sin, his willingness, his desire
to save his people from their sin, caused him to be willingly
made sin for his people. He willingly bore the reproaches
of his people and it caused him to be consumed. Consumed in this
way, it caused him to suffer and die. He died as the substitute
for his people by bearing all everything, all the punishment,
all the death that the sin of his people deserved. He died
because that's what the sin of his people deserved. Now Christ
died, but actually He wasn't consumed, was He? No, He rose
again from the dead. And normally the fire consumes
the sacrifice, burns it to ash so it's gone. But in the sacrifice
of Christ, Christ consumed the fire of God's wrath. He wasn't
consumed. The fire of God's wrath was consumed.
Christ suffered all of the wrath of God until the sin of His elect
was gone. He suffered the wrath of God
until the sin that fueled God's wrath was gone. Now, there's
no more wrath left for God's elect. Christ suffered it all.
And when He suffered all of the wrath, when all of God's wrath
against all of that sin was exhausted, then and only then did Christ
give up the ghost and die. Only when there was no more wrath
left from God for the sin of His people. So now, God is right. He's just. He's faithful to save
all of those that He gave Christ to save. because Christ already
suffered all of his wrath for those people. There's no more
wrath left in God for them. All that's left in him for those
people is mercy and grace and love because of what Christ,
our substitute, suffered. He made it right for God to show
mercy to his people. That's what he's saying there.
Now, verse 140, he goes on, he says, Thy word is very pure.
Therefore, thy servant loveth it. Now, God's written word is
an exact reflection of Christ the Incarnate Word. It's pure. Charles Spurgeon called it God's
Word. He said it's truth distilled. There's nothing but pure, pure,
pure holiness, pure righteousness, pure mercy, pure grace, pure
Christ. It's pure. God's Word is holy
in its essence because God is holy in His essence. This Word
is without sin. It's without error. It's without
hypocrisy. And it's beautiful. It's pure. In and of itself, it's pure.
But God's Word is also purifying. God's Word is saving and cleansing. Christ the Savior is revealed
in this Word. Christ the Savior is only revealed
in this Word. He's not revealed in the books
of men, the thoughts of men, the ideas of men, the doctrines
of men. Christ the Savior is only revealed
in this Word, in the Bible. And it's pure. but it's also
purifying because it reveals Christ the purifier. The Bible
reveals, how is it that a sinner can be washed white as snow?
How is that? It's in the blood and the water
that flowed from the pure side of our Savior. Look over in the
book of Isaiah. Isaiah chapter one. Isaiah one, verse 18. Come now and let us reason together,
saith the Lord. Though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool. Now, how is that possible? To
take that sin as red, defiled, and make it white as snow? How
is that possible? Only in Christ. Only by being washed in the blood
and the water that flowed from the wounded side of our Savior. Now, I tell you, one more time,
You trust Christ. Come to him and be washed whiter
than snow. Come to the cleansing fountain,
because only in Christ can you be saved. Only in Christ can
you be made pure and cleansed from your sin. Not only will
Christ purify you from your sin, but Christ, the water of life,
will also refresh your soul. Oh, your soul is so weary and
tired and thirsty from trudging through this world that's got
nothing to offer your soul. will come to Christ, the water
of life. He'll refresh you. He refreshes the souls of His
people. Come to Christ, the water of
life, and be satisfied. Christ, the water of life, will
quench your thirst. He'll quench your thirst for
what you need. You know, when you're thirsty,
you're thirsty because your body is telling you there's a lack
of something inside you that you need. Come to Christ and
you'll never thirst again. He'll quench your thirst because
He's exactly what you need. He'll give you everything that
you need because He is everything that you need. Now, come to Him.
Come to Him and be purified. Come to Him and be cleansed.
Come to Him and be refreshed. Come to Christ and be satisfied.
That's what you find in God's Word. You find Christ, how He
purifies, how He cleanses, how He refreshes, how He is exactly
what you need. That's why God's people love
the Word of God, because it reveals Christ, who's everything that
we need. Now verse 141, I like this verse. He says, I am small
and despised, yet do I not forget thy precepts. Now here's an honest
view of ourselves. We are small and despised. We're
despised by men because we're so small and insignificant. We're
despised by men because of the gospel that we preach. Nobody
believes that. Just such a small number believes
that. We're so small, we're despised by men. That's what the world
has always thought of God's people. They're small and despised, just
a remnant. But God doesn't think that about
His people. When God looks at His people, He sees His treasure.
He sees those jewels that He's made up for Himself. God has
set His eternal, immeasurable love upon His people. They're
not despised of God. They're loved of God. God's love
for His people is so strong. It's so meaningful that He sent
His Son to die for their sin, to make them righteous so that
they can come accepted into his presence. And the proof of it
is that God puts his law, his precepts, his words into the
hearts of his people. God said, I'm going to write
it on your heart so you won't forget it. I'm going to write
it on your heart so that you love it, so that you understand
it, so that you believe it, so that you love it. And every believer
can say this. Yes, I'm small. I'm small. I'm weak. I'm unable to do anything
for myself. And I'm despised because by nature,
I'm despisable. I'm despicable by nature. That's
why I'm despised. I'm not lovable by nature because
of my sin. Well, then why don't I forget
God's Word? Why don't I forget God's Gospel? Why don't I forget
salvation in Christ? Don't I ever forget that salvation
is by grace, not by works? Why can't I forget that? Why
can't I leave that? Because God's put His Word in
my heart. He's given me a new heart so
that I don't forget it. Even though I am so small and
despised and despicable, God does not despise His people.
God loves His people. and He puts His Word in their
heart so they cannot forget it, so they cannot believe it. That's
what God does for His people. Now, verse 142, He said, Thy
righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is
the truth. Now, David says that God's righteousness
is an everlasting righteousness. Everlasting means it doesn't
have a beginning and it doesn't have an ending. It's eternal,
everlasting. And what this is teaching us
is what is taught so many times throughout the whole word of
God is the doctrine of eternal justification. God's elect have
always been righteous. God's always seen his people
as righteous in Christ. Now they, God has seen them that
way. He's always seen them in righteousness as righteous because
they have been. That's not just theory. That's
truth. The, that is the truth. God's
elect have always been righteous. There's never been a time God
has seen them as unrighteous. There's never been a time God's
wrath has been upon them. He's always seen them as righteous
because they have been eternally washed in Christ, the lamb slain
from the foundation of the world. God's always seen them as that
way. Now they don't know it. They don't see it. That's why
God's got to send the gospel to them. But God sends the gospel
to them. He gives them faith to believe
it. because He's always seen them as righteous, washed in
the blood of Christ, the Lamb slain from the foundation of
the world. Now, if you want to be filled with awe and wonder
that makes you bow and worship God, just try thinking on that
for a while. How God has always been pleased
with His people in Christ, and He always will be. He'll always
be pleased with His people in Christ, for Christ's sake. Now
that fills a sinner with awe and wonder and makes us bow in
worship. Well, verse 143, trouble and
anguish have taken hold on me, yet thy commandments are my delights. Now, first, I want to look at
this as Christ speaking. This is what he said as he willingly
suffered for his people. Even as he suffered unimaginable
agony, he still delighted to please his father by his sacrifice. This was his delight, even though
it was causing him such agony. Even as he suffered agony greater
than you and I can comprehend, he still delighted to obey his
father and stay on that cross suffering as the sacrifice for
the sin of his people. He could have called 12 legions
of angels to come stop his crucifixion, but he didn't. He had the power
to come down from the cross. He could have answered those
mockers and showed them He had the power to come down from the
cross just to show them that He could do it. But He didn't
do it. Do you know why? Do you know
why He did not come down from that cross when He could have?
Do you know why He didn't call twelve legions of angels to stop
His suffering when He could have? Because it was His delight to
please His Father by putting away the sin of His people by
His sacrifice. He was the only one that could
do it. So He didn't put a stop to it. He loves His people so
much He would not stop His suffering so that He could save them from
their sins and make them righteous. The Father delighted to put away
the sin of His people even though it required the sacrifice of
Himself because of His zeal. His zeal to please His Father
and His zeal to save the people that He loves. That's what, isn't
that amazing? Oh, what love, what matchless,
infinite love that Christ would love his people so much, he would
willingly suffer for them and would not stop it. But God's
people can also say this too. Verse 143, God's people can say,
trouble and anguish have taken hold on me, yet thy commandments
are my delights. I have many friends right now
who are in very, very, very deep waters. They're in trouble. They're
in sorrow with heartbreak and loss. They're in trouble because
sickness has taken hold upon them. And this trouble is very
real. Trouble and anguish have taken
hold upon me. It won't let go of me. I can't
get away from it. Yet the delight and the comfort
of our heart is the Word of God. Even in real suffering, in deep
waters, the delight The comfort of the hearts of God's people
is Christ our Savior. Now, I'm not saying that that
makes the trial to be not painful. No, the trial is still very,
very painful. But this is also equally true. God's children
find real delight and real comfort for our hearts in the Word of
God. We find real comfort and real
joy for our heart even though our body suffers in Christ our
Savior. The trial is still painful. But
God's people find comfort in this. It's revealed in the Word
of God. Our God is the one who's in control of this thing. And
He's righteous and He's doing good, even though it's painful
to my flesh. Even though I cannot understand
it, God's doing this. It's right and it's good. And that gives me comfort for
my heart. It's comfort for my heart. Now, this thing's not
an accident, but my Father's doing it. That is comfort and
delight to my heart. And that lets us sing, even in
the midst of the storm, when sorrows like sea billows roll,
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, it's well with my
soul. It's not well with my body. It's
not well with the world around me, but it's well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trial should come, let this blessed
assurance control that Christ hath regarded my helpless estate
and has shed his own blood for my soul. You want to know why
it's well with my soul? That's why. Because Christ hath
regarded my helpless estate and he shed his own blood for my
soul. Oh, it's well with my soul. Though trouble and anguish have
taken hold on me, yet God's word, his commandments, his commandment
to trust Christ, his commandment to rest in Christ, that's my
delight. Now last, verse 144. The righteousness
of thy testimonies is everlasting. Give me understanding, and I
shall live." Now, the righteousness and the truth of God is everlasting. Salvation by Christ alone, by
the blood alone, by grace alone, through faith alone, never, ever
changes. This is an ancient book, but
it never goes out of style. Never does it go out of style.
Especially you young people, you listen to me right here.
This book never goes out of style. I don't care how much society
changes, this book is not out of style. When this book and
society don't match, it's not this book that's out of style,
it's society. And this tells you something
about how sinful men are when we say, well, the Bible is out
of style. You know, we've got to change
the message of the Bible because it's just out of style with today's
society. That tells you, that's a real
good indication of how sinful man really is. When people say
that, all that means is that our world and our way of life
has become so sinful that we can't imagine changing it and
going back to the teaching of the Word of God. Isn't that something? This world in which we live in,
and believers need to even be very aware of this, this world
in which we live in constantly affects us. It can constantly,
it just affects our way of thinking. So the believer's constant prayer
is, Lord, give me an understanding. Give me an understanding of your
word. Give me a heart that believes
and understands your word. Give me a heart that understands
that salvation's in Christ. It's not in what I do, it's what
he's done for me. It's not in my works, it's by
your grace. It's not by my works, it's by
faith, God-given faith in Christ. Give me a heart that believes
that and understands that so that I'll have spiritual life.
Make me righteous in Christ alone, through faith alone, without
any of my works added to it. If God will give us that, we'll
have a righteous and a just salvation. That's all the salvation that
you and I need. That's a salvation to get the
job done. Oh, may God be pleased to give us the gracious gift
of this salvation. All right, let's bow together
in prayer. Our Father, oh, I beg of you that you bless your word.
Bless your word as it's been preached to your glory, to the
hearts, to the understanding of your people that we might
believe, trust, rest in our Lord Jesus Christ. Father, bless your
word for your glory Enable us to see Your glory in our day,
we pray. For it's in the precious name
of our Lord Jesus Christ we pray and give thanks. Amen. I remind
you again, check the church Facebook page and Lord willing we'll be
able to meet together this Sunday, Sunday the 17th.
