Transcript
-
Well, good to see everyone here tonight.
-
Good to see you. Michael.
-
I didn't see you. I thought you weren't here.
-
I was sitting up there beginning to service.
-
I said Michael's not here, but good to see you.
-
And so long times. I heard you singing to one of
-
our missions many years ago. Michael was round our missions
-
years ago and singing and he's still singing just as well.
-
And what a piece that was God's final call.
-
I wonder, are you saved tonight? Are you ready to meet God?
-
This could be God's final call to you.
-
And we trust that you will come and put your faith in the Lord
-
Jesus Christ. Now, I want you to turn tonight
-
in your Bible to the book of Psalms and Psalm 113.
-
And I can get myself wired up here in some fashion.
-
And that's it. So Psalm 113, I'm going to read
-
a few verses together here tonight, Psalm 113.
-
And we're going to read verse one.
-
We can read the Psalm, Psalm 113.
-
And he says, verse one, Praise ye the Lord, praise, O ye
-
servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord, Blessed be the
-
name of the Lord. From this time forth, and from
-
evermore, from the rising of a sun until the going down of the
-
same, the Lord's name is to be praised.
-
The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the
-
heavens. Who is like unto the Lord our
-
God, who dwelleth on high, who humbleth himself to behold the
-
things that are in heaven and in the earth.
-
He raises up the poor out of a dust, and lifteth the needy out
-
of a dunghill, that he may set him with Princess.
-
Even with the Princess of his people.
-
He maketh the barn woman to keep house and to be a joyful mother
-
of children. Praise ye the Lord, Amen and
-
Amen. Let's have a wee word of prayer
-
together and let's pray for God's great Father in heaven.
-
We thank you for the privilege of being here.
-
We thank you for the singing, the old fashioned gospel hymns
-
and for those who have brought in and there may be some in
-
tonight and they are not saved. We pray that there will be saved
-
at the end of this meeting. Well thank you for our brother
-
Michael and for his messages and song and bless them to hearts.
-
I pray be with us now if we turn to thy word, we pray be a word
-
in season with no liberty and power and preaching thy word in
-
Jesus name, Amen. Amen.
-
My tax can be found there. Verse 7 and 8, it says he raises
-
up the poor out of a dust and he lifted the needy out of a
-
dunghill, that he may set him with Princess, even with the
-
Princess of his people. Really.
-
A title here of a sermon is rescued, rescued from the
-
dunghill. There's a man called Stuart
-
Hamblen, and he was the son of a Methodist minister.
-
He was considered one of radio's first singing Cowboys.
-
So we're moving the clock away back.
-
He lived a terrible life. He lived a life of wickedness
-
and he lived a life of sin. But one time he was encouraged
-
to come to a gospel crusade, or can we say a gospel mission just
-
like this. The preacher got up into the
-
pulpit and he looked at the congregation.
-
And here's what he said. There is one man in this
-
audience and he's a big fake. Now, he didn't know the man at
-
all, but this is what the preacher said.
-
There's a man in the audience, in the congregation, and he's a
-
big fake. Well, I'm sure if I had him in
-
there, I said he's talking about me.
-
And you maybe thought if you're a man, he's talking about me.
-
Well, this man's shirt, he says, I think he's talking about me.
-
And he was really concerned and he was really convicted and he
-
went home under the conviction of sin.
-
Several days later it is recorded, there was a knock at
-
the pastor's door. The man who said those words and
-
the preached and he went into him.
-
And this man Stuart now had turned up at the pastor's house
-
and he was drunk and he started to talk to him.
-
The pastor talked to him and told him about Christ and the
-
way of salvation. And Stuart Hamdly in he gave his
-
life to Christ, I want to say this to you.
-
He became a new creature. He was changed dramatically.
-
What a wonderful change. And his life had been wrought
-
since Jesus came into his heart and his whole life was changed.
-
And it tells us that he began to write Christian songs.
-
Man, the Lord had put a new song into his mouth, even praise unto
-
God. He lost his job, but tells us as
-
a result in the radio show, when he refused to promote alcohol,
-
he wouldn't promote alcohol on the radio.
-
Now he was visited a friend, a very famous friend, and I'll
-
give you the name very shortly. And they were in the house and
-
his friend saw the wonderful change in his life.
-
And they were talking about problems in people's life.
-
And Stuart said to his friend, you know, it's no secret what
-
God can do in a man's life. You know, it's no secret what
-
God can do in a man's life. Well, his friend heard those
-
words and after about two hours later, as he was walking out of
-
the house, his friend turned to him.
-
And here's what he said to them. Stuart, you ought to write a
-
song about it's no secret what God can do.
-
And he went home and he just walked into the house at
-
midnight and the clock started to chime at midnight.
-
And he lifted up his pen and he immediately, this man
-
immediately stirred. He began to write The chains of
-
time ring out the news. Another day is through.
-
Someone slipped and fell. Was that someone new?
-
You may have longed for outer strength, your courage to renew.
-
Do not be dishearted, for I bring use to you.
-
And here's the course. It has no secret what God can
-
do. What he's done for others, he'll
-
do for you. With arms wide open, He'll
-
pardon you. It is no secret what God can do.
-
And he wrote some more verses. And I had the whole thing done
-
and dusted in 17 minutes. I didn't know where brother and
-
Michael ever wrote a song or not.
-
The whole thing was done and dusted in 7 minutes.
-
And when he looked at the clock, he thought the clock had
-
stopped, but the clock was still going.
-
It is no secret what God can do. Is there anybody here tonight?
-
And they're down in the gutter and you're held by sin and
-
you're down in the dumps tonight.
-
I want to tell you tonight, it's no secret what God can do.
-
He can take you out of the pit of sin tonight, and he can take
-
you out of the pit of despair tonight.
-
This is what this man was saying in a song.
-
There's no secret what God can do.
-
I was in a horrible pit. I was in a pit of sin, but he
-
took me out. He took me out.
-
Let me say this. We can see this in a song and we
-
can see that truth in the Scriptures.
-
That's what we find ourselves tonight in this text about God,
-
what God can do. He, he lifted up the poor out of
-
the dust and he lifted the needy out of the dunghill.
-
Not only did we see it damaged to it in this man's song, here
-
it is in the scripture. What God can do.
-
He can lift you tonight out of a dunghill and he can set you
-
among Princess, the Princess even of glory tonight and I want
-
to tell you it's no secret what God can do.
-
He can do that for you. You in sin tonight.
-
Are you in trouble tonight? Do you on the conviction of sin?
-
Do you know you're lost? There's a great Saviour tonight,
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. I want to say a few things here.
-
The message here of the gospel and these words the description
-
of the Sinner has brought before us and he news 2 words here in
-
this particular Psalm, poor needy and the word needy is
-
translated in another part of the Bible.
-
I see shortly as beggar. He's describing the the unsafe
-
person here and you, you couldn't pick two better words
-
to describe them. The Sinner without Christ
-
tonight. And if you're without Christ
-
tonight, we're talking here about sparsely speak.
-
We're not talking about having a few pounds in your back pocket
-
or having a big a bank account tonight.
-
We're talking here about sparsely.
-
And the Bible says here that the one without Christ is sparsely
-
poor. In fact, we see their poverty.
-
What's a poor man like? They're in poverty, they have no
-
money, they have fried little clothes, they have no home,
-
hardly any possession, as maybe as sitting as possession as I
-
have sitting in the bag beside them.
-
He's nothing. If we see a Spurgeon said, the
-
old proverb says that a beggar can never be bankrupt, but it
-
will be more correct to say that he is never anything else.
-
What bankrupt? He is bankrupt, he's nothing and
-
he's poor and you all see a person tonight in this meeting.
-
You're bankrupt, you're poverty, you're in your sin.
-
Remember in Revelation verse 3 verse 17 right into that church
-
it says because I says I am rich and increase with goods and if
-
need of nothing and knows not that I had wretched and
-
miserable and poor. Do you not know what he's saying
-
He's writing to these people. He's telling here their true
-
special state. You think you have everything.
-
Do you know you have you're saying I have need of nothing.
-
He says do you not know Do you not know that you're wretched Do
-
you not know tonight that you're miserable?
-
Do you not know that you're what poor in God's sight.
-
That's how does God sees a Sinner without Christ.
-
He's poor. He has no righteousness.
-
Remember the Bible says there is none righteous.
-
No, not one. He cannot say I've got a few
-
righteousness because Messiah tells us filthy rags he he is no
-
goodness. Why the Bible says there is none
-
good. Listen tonight, no, not one.
-
And when they look at the life and the heart of the all
-
converted person tonight we see their poverty, they're poor and
-
they are have nothing in their hand.
-
Think of that be a song we sing sometimes.
-
Nothing in my hands they bring. Why do we say that?
-
Why do we say that? But people come to Christ
-
because they haven't got nothing.
-
What can you offer to God for your salvation?
-
What can you offer for God for your salvation?
-
You have nothing because you're like a beggar.
-
You're you're in a poverty. Think about here is poverty has
-
ability. And I've said this in the word
-
with beggar. That word needy is translated
-
beggar in the Bible. And that's what it means.
-
Of course, translate a second Samuel 3 verse one as the word
-
weaker. So it's what he's showing here,
-
that the ability of this, this person has nothing and he's no
-
ability. He has no strength.
-
He has nothing. He can do nothing.
-
I said that to you tonight. He can do nothing to rescue
-
himself. He can do nothing to help
-
himself. There's only one.
-
There's only one thing this person can do.
-
He's in his sin. I want you to notice tonight,
-
there's only one thing he can do.
-
That's beg. That's the only thing he can do.
-
That's the only thing he can do. It's beg for help.
-
He's a beggar. If we the people blame Barton
-
Meals and others sitting by the West side and they were crying
-
out and the one, the man sitting there at the temple, the times
-
of Peter and John, would he give me arms?
-
Would someone help me? This is all this is all a person
-
and their poverty and their bankruptness.
-
They can do nothing. Nothing they can do is beg us.
-
All I want to say tonight don't see a person who's hopeless and
-
helpless. There's only one thing you can
-
do to be saved. Beg to God for mercy.
-
Cry to him. Look at crying to me.
-
I can't. I can't help you.
-
I can't save you. The minister of this church
-
cannot save you. And the only thing you can do is
-
to pray and to cry to the Lord. That's all you can do.
-
You can do nothing else. Remember the publican and he
-
stood in the temple in Luke 18 and verse 13.
-
Here's what he said. God be merciful to me, a Sinner.
-
Do you hear him? He's like a beggar.
-
He's crying to God for mercy. That's all you can do.
-
You can't do works. You cannot prayer right.
-
You cannot serve right. You cannot love God.
-
You need to cry. You need to cry to God for
-
mercy. That's all you can do.
-
You can't work for salvation. Ephesians 2 verse 8 and 9 says
-
for by grace are you saved through faith, not of
-
yourselves. It is a gift of God.
-
Notice these words, not of works, not of works, lest that
-
imagine both. Are you trying to work for
-
salvation? You're putting all the way
-
better works in the cupboard and galling them all up and says,
-
well, here's how I get into heaven.
-
I want to tell you tonight from this pulpit, you'll not get into
-
heaven by your works. You're a beggar, you're poverty,
-
you're bankrupt. You cannot work for salvation.
-
You certainly cannot pay for salvation.
-
There's poverty and there's ability and there's solitary
-
because he's alone. Who wants, who wants a beggar?
-
Who wants a beggar hanging around this hole?
-
When you go home tonight, there's a man landing your tore
-
in his rags. Who wants them?
-
He's friendless. I want to say to you tonight,
-
you're friendless without Christ.
-
Ephesians 2 and verse 12 says that at that time you were
-
without Christ, being aliens from the Commonwealth of virtual
-
and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and
-
without God in this world. You're friendless tonight,
-
you're godless tonight, and you're hopeless tonight.
-
Do you feel it in your heart? I remember when I was in the
-
world and I was in the pubs and I was in the clubs and I was in
-
the dance halls at the very end of the night, there was this
-
loneliness that filled my heart, that filled my life.
-
You know why? Because I was like this beggar.
-
It's all alone. Felt alone even though
-
surrounded by people. Because that's the spiritual
-
state of the Sinner, the description of the Sinner.
-
He would not, he would not describe as anyone tonight in
-
the meeting would describe themselves like this.
-
This is the Bible, this is the word of God how describes you
-
tonight. You're like a beggar in great
-
trouble. Then you're in your sin and you
-
have nothing to offer unto God and they're lost without Christ
-
at night. That's what the Bible tells the
-
applause of your sin tonight. They don't want to think about
-
the location of the centre. If you look at the Word of God,
-
it says where he is living on the dunghill.
-
He's living in a dunghill. The word dunghill means a heap
-
of rubbish or filth. What an awful place to live.
-
I don't think there's anybody round here or in this meeting
-
tonight to say, well, I built a new home.
-
Well, where did you build your home?
-
Well, do you know the dunghill's up the road?
-
That's where I built it. I don't think any one of you's
-
in a physical fashion will build your house.
-
The dunghill but spurs she's speaking.
-
I want to tell you tonight that's where the on sea is
-
living on the dunghill. Dunghill.
-
That would be a, to me, a depressing place to live.
-
I live up on and alone and it's lovely.
-
You know, you can go out and you can look up into the mountains
-
around the corner, but I can look and I can see the seaside
-
and it's beautiful in the wheatstone walls and all of
-
this. What I would certainly say, I
-
would not. I would not want to build a
-
house or live beside a dunghill. It would be a depressing place.
-
Now, the flies wouldn't mind it, of course.
-
But a man to live on the dunghill will be miserable
-
indeed. Now, the dunghill's a picture of
-
this world. I know the Bible says there's
-
pleasure in sin. I For season.
-
For season. There's no true happiness.
-
There's no true joy in sin. Nothing.
-
That's why there are many people in this world today and they're
-
miserable and they're depressed. It talks here about even the
-
dust. They're living in the dunghill
-
and they're living in the dust. That's a dry place.
-
There's no satisfaction, there's no joy, there's no peace.
-
There's sinners away from God. He's living in a sin and he's
-
miserable. How do I know that people today
-
is depressed? They're Cal Stone and they're
-
people today, young people. They're taking up, they're
-
taking away their life. When I went to work at Jakeel
-
years ago, such was the state of young people taking away their
-
life and Jakeel. And in the big factory, the
-
aircraft factory, they held a meeting and they got ministers
-
in and I was brought in among them.
-
And the man, while he had a real concern, he says there are
-
people working in this factory and they're losing their sons
-
and their daughters and what can we do to help them?
-
They're living in the dunghill. I want to tell you it's a
-
miserable place to live. And there's people cast down in
-
the very depths of the spirit tonight because of her sin,
-
living in filth. I asked you tonight, is there
-
anyone in a meeting? Are you not fed up with the
-
world tonight? Are you not fed up with the
-
filth, the sin of the world? They're living in the dunghill
-
tonight. A depressing place, a define
-
place. What a filthy place the dunghill
-
is. But filthy, smelly, rotten.
-
We can use all those words. Remember this.
-
This is a this is a picture of the representation of the world
-
of sin. It's a filthy place that's
-
filthy. Put the Internet on the news or
-
lift up the newspaper. Whatever the state that we, we
-
see the state of this world today.
-
It's filthy. Paul could even write in his day
-
First Corinthians 6 verse 9 that I know ye not that the
-
unrighteous talks about people unrighteous and not inherit the
-
Kingdom of God. Be not deceived on her
-
fornicators, idolaters, adulterers and famine that abuse
-
of themselves of mankind and nor thieves or Calvinists or
-
drunkers or revilers and our sorcerers and this gives a whole
-
list, a whole list of people that's living in the world, a
-
whole list of sinners surrounded on them.
-
Listen, that's filth and that's sin.
-
And I wonder tonight, are you among that number?
-
Are you among that number? Remember when God looked down
-
from heaven? Genesis 6 verse 5 says, and God
-
saw he looked down. The wickedness of man was great
-
in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of
-
his heart was only evil continually.
-
Psalm 14 verse 3 tells they had all gone aside.
-
They're all together, become filthy.
-
There's none that doeth good. No, not one.
-
Because they're living for the world.
-
They're living in sin. They're living in filth.
-
It's the failed place. It's rotten in the sight of God.
-
I'm asking you tonight, are you living a filthy life, a sinful
-
life, a wicked life? Because it's just like living in
-
a dunghill spirit. She's speaking spirit.
-
She's speakers. God looks down.
-
Are you living in filth? Because that's what sin is,
-
uncleanness, and it's filthy in the sight of God.
-
We're not here to butter up sin. We're not here to water it down.
-
We're here to tell you what it is in the sight of a holy and a
-
great God. You've offended him and you've
-
sinned against him also. It was a place, a destructive,
-
destructive place, because it wouldn't do your health much
-
good living upon a dunghill or round about it.
-
And we know that it wouldn't do it.
-
And spiritually speaking, there's a very destructive place
-
in the world. In Daniel chapter 2, verse 5,
-
the Nebuchadnezzar king who wanted a dream to be interpreted
-
to them. And he told them, if you don't
-
give me interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces.
-
And your houses, they're going to be made.
-
Listen, they're going to be made like a dunghill destruction.
-
If you don't tell me the meaning of this dream, there's death and
-
destruction. Do you see here Dunghill link to
-
destruction, trouble, evil? We know there's an evil world.
-
You think of the wee lad there yesterday in Austria.
-
He's only 21 years old and he killed 10 people in a school and
-
then he killed himself. I just saw before he came out
-
there, the night that he had left a note for his mother, I
-
think, to ask for forgiveness. Whatever possessed him.
-
It's an awful world. It's a terrible world we're
-
living in. And just remember this, there's
-
a day in common when God will come to judge the world and to
-
judge sinners. And Christ is coming in flaming
-
fire, taking vengeance on those who know not God and that have
-
been at the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
And Matthew 13 verse 49 to 50 talks.
-
I'll be taking people and notice here.
-
And he's cast them into a furnace of fire.
-
This world, this world's in great trouble, this world's
-
going to be punished by God later on down the line when God,
-
the Lord Jesus Christ comes back again.
-
So we find here's a place of destruction.
-
The dunghill, the the dunghill of this world.
-
It's a terrible place to live. Now, what do we say when people
-
live for the world, that's all they want.
-
Remember, the world is under the curse of God because of sin.
-
Are you living for the world tonight?
-
You living in your sin tonight and far away from Christ,
-
remember here, remember where you are living tonight.
-
Remember you're in great trouble living in the dung hill of sin.
-
But the way because on the hell, there's something else here
-
tonight about the salvation of the Senate.
-
Of course, 2 points are maybe not too pleasant, but here's a
-
wonderful, wonderful Through them we have come to preach good
-
news and the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Because here's what it says. He raises up the poor out of a
-
dust, and he lifted the needy out of the dunghill.
-
Here's the salvation of the centre.
-
And who? Who's the He?
-
Who's the one who does to us? Well, if you read verse one and
-
two and three and four and five, you know what?
-
You'll find the Lord. You'll find his name right down
-
those verses. The Lord.
-
He's the one who does it and he's the only one who can do it.
-
He lifts, he races, sitters out of the dunghill.
-
It says her in verse 5 who is like on to the Lord or God who
-
dwelleth on high, who humble themselves to behold the things
-
are in the heaven and the earth. You can see here he's talking
-
about God. He's talking about the Lord and
-
here's what he does He raises up the poor out of the dust and he
-
lifted the needy out of the dunghill.
-
Here's what God does it. This is salvation of the Sinner.
-
Oh, you think of us coming here because to have God to raise
-
people out of a dunghill that means he comes to the dunghill
-
himself. He doesn't send someone else, he
-
doesn't send an Angel. He sent his Son, the Lord Jesus
-
Christ to lift us out and remember this, the Lord Jesus
-
Christ is Lord and He is God. In first John four and verse 14
-
we have seen how do testify. Notice that the Father sent the
-
Son to be the sieve of the world.
-
He sent them. He sent them down into this
-
dunghill of the world and He came.
-
He came with a purpose. He came to do something.
-
He came to save us. And you follow that in the Bible
-
and you'll follow Christ and you'll see this.
-
You'll see that He died upon the cross, and he shed his blood and
-
he satisfied God's justice and he satisfied the wrath of God.
-
And now the blood's been shed. He rose again from the dead.
-
He sat down at the right hand of the throne of God in heaven.
-
The Lord Jesus came. He came right down to this
-
world. He came and died.
-
And his blood contents us from all sin.
-
And He is the one who lifts us. He lifts us out of this dung
-
hell of sin. Member says that Psalm 34, verse
-
6. This poor man cried, and the
-
Lord heard him notice and saved him out of all his troubles.
-
He lived there from a dunghill. Who did it?
-
The Lord did it. Psalm 41st 2.
-
He gave me a word of testimony. He brought me up also out of a
-
hard boot pit and out of the Mary clay, and he sat my feet
-
upon a rock, and he established my goals.
-
Well, listen, I asked you tonight, who brought him out?
-
Who brought David out of the horrible pit?
-
Did he climb out? No, he did not.
-
The Lord brought him out. The Lord brought him out.
-
This is the salvation of the Lord.
-
He raises up the poor out of the doors and lifted the needy out
-
of the dunghill. Christ, he does it.
-
He does it. And who's the one who can save
-
you from your sin tonight? Who's the one who can save you
-
from a judgement? Who?
-
Who's? I want to tell you tonight,
-
there's one and there's only one, the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
There's no other one can save you but the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
You cannot do it yourself. The church cannot do it.
-
There's only Christ can do it. He does this.
-
He lifted the beggar out of a dunghill.
-
You see here. He's coming and He comes to
-
where we are and He does it. Think about his compassion.
-
Who would want a dirty, smelly centre?
-
Who lived in the dunghill? Who would want him?
-
Do you not see the love of God here?
-
What love? He has visions to verse 4 says,
-
But God who is rich in mercy for and listen his great love, great
-
love for work wherewith he loved us not just a little of no he's
-
talking he's talking here about the love of God and he says his
-
great love wherewith he loved us and we were in the downhill and
-
we were filthy. We were defiled and we were
-
lost. But here's a wonderful,
-
wonderful truth. He loved us to see a love of
-
godness. That's why we sing that hymn.
-
Sometime I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus and Nazarene
-
and I wonder how he had loved me, a Sinner condemned and all,
-
and clean left in the dumb smell, and my life is full of
-
sin. We can set, but he loved us.
-
I want you to see something tonight of the greatness of the
-
Lord Jesus Christ. This is the salvation of a
-
Sinner. It's Christ.
-
It's Christ alone can do this. I want you to learn tonight that
-
the only one can see if you, your soul and take away your sin
-
and at last bring you home to heaven is the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
He does it, He doesn't read the passage.
-
You don't do it. It's not 5050, by the way, not
-
5050 at all. Salvations of the Lord.
-
He comes to the pit, He reaches into the pit where he nearly
-
says he gets into it and he lifts you and carries you out of
-
it. Not a great saviour.
-
That's a Saviour that saves you the very uttermost, the Lord
-
Jesus Christ. He's mighty.
-
He's mighty to see it. So the salvation of sinners
-
here. And Marcy, has he brought you
-
out of the pit? Are you still in it?
-
You know I'm still in it. I know I'm in it.
-
I know I'm lost. But here's the good news.
-
He can, he can take you out of it tonight and he can save your
-
soul. He can do it for you gotta say
-
last year and very quickly the exaltation of the centre because
-
he'd he's not finished with them.
-
It says he brings them up in the idea of it and that that he must
-
set him with the Princess, even with the Princess of his people.
-
So what does he do? He takes them out and you know,
-
he puts them among the most Amidon people, new friends, new
-
people. Now he might be the Church of
-
Copeland. We can even go higher on us.
-
He's thinking the great giants of the faith.
-
You can think of Abraham and Isaac and and Jacob and, and
-
they're going to, to, to sit down with him, because in
-
Matthew 8, verse 11, here's what it says.
-
And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and
-
West, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in
-
the Kingdom of heaven. Do you see what's going to
-
happen? Man is going to come from all
-
over the world and they're going to sit down with who?
-
They're going to sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the
-
Kingdom of heaven. Someday you'll be walking
-
through heaven and you'll look and you'll see me sitting them
-
on these ways. And you remember this sermon?
-
Well, he did say it. He was sitting them on the
-
people there. And so will you change of God
-
here tonight. But the Lord can do this.
-
What a mate. That's why we sang Amazing
-
Grace. How sweet they sound.
-
This is Amazing Grace, a dirty, smelly Sinner, and he's sitting
-
among spiritual giants. Amazing Grace, how sweet the
-
sound. And there is a new sorry people
-
and a new place because for Samuel 2, verse 8 tells us in
-
the same going like a correspondent passage, he raises
-
up the poor out of the dust and he lifted the beggar from the
-
dunghill to set them upon Princess and to make them
-
inherit the throne of glory. There's a bit more added to them
-
to make them inherit the throne of glory, so they're lifted out
-
from the gutter of sin and put him on a new people.
-
But God is not finished. He's not finished with the 1 he
-
saves. He sets them among a new people
-
and a new place. The throne of glory, Heaven.
-
That's what God does and it's all free and it's by grace
-
alone. Remember the Lord Jesus said in
-
Revelation 3, verse 21 to him that overcometh, will I grant to
-
sit with me in my throne. That wonderful.
-
The Lord Jesus Christ, he has a throne and he says, hear him
-
that overcometh. You're going to sit, you're
-
going to sit with me, sit with me whereabouts, Lord Jesus,
-
you're going to sit with me in my throne.
-
Oh, this is a wonderful salvation of God.
-
He lost people from the very government, from the dunghill,
-
and he pouched them upon the throne of glory.
-
See, a Spurgeon said. As deeply as they fail, so high
-
are they raised. Oh, what a God we have, what a
-
Saviour. And the Lord Jesus, what mercy,
-
what power, what love. He, he can do this for you
-
tonight if you call to him. Lord Jesus, I want you to save
-
me. I want you to rescue me.
-
I want you to forgive me. Well, you know He will.
-
He will save you. Would you call tonight as God
-
speaking to your heart? Don't feel it.
-
He can't do this for you. Don't feel they're too bad.
-
Don't don't feel tonight. They're too far down in the
-
gutter of sin. Because remember where we
-
started off tonight? It's no secret what God can do.
-
He's done for others. He'll do for you.
-
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
-
It is no secret what God can do, and He's done enough for many
-
people in this meeting. He's taken us from the dunghill
-
and we're going home. Big Glory, rescued from the
-
dunghill. He can rescue you tonight.
-
Repent from your sin, Turn from your sin and cry.
-
Put your faith and trust 100% in the Lord Jesus Christ and He
-
will save you to the uttermost, and at last you'll be home in
-
heaven. Have you thus testimony?
-
This is a testimony of the one that the Lord Jesus saves.
-
He can do that for you tonight. If you have any questions, speak
-
with me. My brother is here as well.
-
Speak with any of us. You need some more advice.
-
Come to Jesus Christ, trust him tonight with all your heart, and
-
he'll do this for you and he'll see if you don't go home.
-
My brother was singing a lovely piece to her tonight.
-
God's final call, God's final call.
-
You never know the last time for you to hear the gospel.
-
It's time to seek the Lord. Would you come and trust them?
-
I trust you'll come tonight, be rescued, be rescued from the
-
pit, washed in the blood of Christ and then you're to go.
-
You're going home to heaven to be with Christ the God writers
-
word upon our hearts today was saying a couple of verses.
-
Our time is just going on a wee bit and with just a couple of
-
verses, just a couple of minutes past nine there, but we're gonna
-
sing 264. There's a couple of verses of
-
this lovely hymn. Again, I say we're here to help
-
people and if any questions we would love to speak with you,
-
alright?
