  1. Well, good to see everyone here tonight.

  2. Good to see you. Michael.

  3. I didn't see you. I thought you weren't here.

  4. I was sitting up there beginning to service.

  5. I said Michael's not here, but good to see you.

  6. And so long times. I heard you singing to one of

  7. our missions many years ago. Michael was round our missions

  8. years ago and singing and he's still singing just as well.

  9. And what a piece that was God's final call.

  10. I wonder, are you saved tonight? Are you ready to meet God?

  11. This could be God's final call to you.

  12. And we trust that you will come and put your faith in the Lord

  13. Jesus Christ. Now, I want you to turn tonight

  14. in your Bible to the book of Psalms and Psalm 113.

  15. And I can get myself wired up here in some fashion.

  16. And that's it. So Psalm 113, I'm going to read

  17. a few verses together here tonight, Psalm 113.

  18. And we're going to read verse one.

  19. We can read the Psalm, Psalm 113.

  20. And he says, verse one, Praise ye the Lord, praise, O ye

  21. servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord, Blessed be the

  22. name of the Lord. From this time forth, and from

  23. evermore, from the rising of a sun until the going down of the

  24. same, the Lord's name is to be praised.

  25. The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the

  26. heavens. Who is like unto the Lord our

  27. God, who dwelleth on high, who humbleth himself to behold the

  28. things that are in heaven and in the earth.

  29. He raises up the poor out of a dust, and lifteth the needy out

  30. of a dunghill, that he may set him with Princess.

  31. Even with the Princess of his people.

  32. He maketh the barn woman to keep house and to be a joyful mother

  33. of children. Praise ye the Lord, Amen and

  34. Amen. Let's have a wee word of prayer

  35. together and let's pray for God's great Father in heaven.

  36. We thank you for the privilege of being here.

  37. We thank you for the singing, the old fashioned gospel hymns

  38. and for those who have brought in and there may be some in

  39. tonight and they are not saved. We pray that there will be saved

  40. at the end of this meeting. Well thank you for our brother

  41. Michael and for his messages and song and bless them to hearts.

  42. I pray be with us now if we turn to thy word, we pray be a word

  43. in season with no liberty and power and preaching thy word in

  44. Jesus name, Amen. Amen.

  45. My tax can be found there. Verse 7 and 8, it says he raises

  46. up the poor out of a dust and he lifted the needy out of a

  47. dunghill, that he may set him with Princess, even with the

  48. Princess of his people. Really.

  49. A title here of a sermon is rescued, rescued from the

  50. dunghill. There's a man called Stuart

  51. Hamblen, and he was the son of a Methodist minister.

  52. He was considered one of radio's first singing Cowboys.

  53. So we're moving the clock away back.

  54. He lived a terrible life. He lived a life of wickedness

  55. and he lived a life of sin. But one time he was encouraged

  56. to come to a gospel crusade, or can we say a gospel mission just

  57. like this. The preacher got up into the

  58. pulpit and he looked at the congregation.

  59. And here's what he said. There is one man in this

  60. audience and he's a big fake. Now, he didn't know the man at

  61. all, but this is what the preacher said.

  62. There's a man in the audience, in the congregation, and he's a

  63. big fake. Well, I'm sure if I had him in

  64. there, I said he's talking about me.

  65. And you maybe thought if you're a man, he's talking about me.

  66. Well, this man's shirt, he says, I think he's talking about me.

  67. And he was really concerned and he was really convicted and he

  68. went home under the conviction of sin.

  69. Several days later it is recorded, there was a knock at

  70. the pastor's door. The man who said those words and

  71. the preached and he went into him.

  72. And this man Stuart now had turned up at the pastor's house

  73. and he was drunk and he started to talk to him.

  74. The pastor talked to him and told him about Christ and the

  75. way of salvation. And Stuart Hamdly in he gave his

  76. life to Christ, I want to say this to you.

  77. He became a new creature. He was changed dramatically.

  78. What a wonderful change. And his life had been wrought

  79. since Jesus came into his heart and his whole life was changed.

  80. And it tells us that he began to write Christian songs.

  81. Man, the Lord had put a new song into his mouth, even praise unto

  82. God. He lost his job, but tells us as

  83. a result in the radio show, when he refused to promote alcohol,

  84. he wouldn't promote alcohol on the radio.

  85. Now he was visited a friend, a very famous friend, and I'll

  86. give you the name very shortly. And they were in the house and

  87. his friend saw the wonderful change in his life.

  88. And they were talking about problems in people's life.

  89. And Stuart said to his friend, you know, it's no secret what

  90. God can do in a man's life. You know, it's no secret what

  91. God can do in a man's life. Well, his friend heard those

  92. words and after about two hours later, as he was walking out of

  93. the house, his friend turned to him.

  94. And here's what he said to them. Stuart, you ought to write a

  95. song about it's no secret what God can do.

  96. And he went home and he just walked into the house at

  97. midnight and the clock started to chime at midnight.

  98. And he lifted up his pen and he immediately, this man

  99. immediately stirred. He began to write The chains of

  100. time ring out the news. Another day is through.

  101. Someone slipped and fell. Was that someone new?

  102. You may have longed for outer strength, your courage to renew.

  103. Do not be dishearted, for I bring use to you.

  104. And here's the course. It has no secret what God can

  105. do. What he's done for others, he'll

  106. do for you. With arms wide open, He'll

  107. pardon you. It is no secret what God can do.

  108. And he wrote some more verses. And I had the whole thing done

  109. and dusted in 17 minutes. I didn't know where brother and

  110. Michael ever wrote a song or not.

  111. The whole thing was done and dusted in 7 minutes.

  112. And when he looked at the clock, he thought the clock had

  113. stopped, but the clock was still going.

  114. It is no secret what God can do. Is there anybody here tonight?

  115. And they're down in the gutter and you're held by sin and

  116. you're down in the dumps tonight.

  117. I want to tell you tonight, it's no secret what God can do.

  118. He can take you out of the pit of sin tonight, and he can take

  119. you out of the pit of despair tonight.

  120. This is what this man was saying in a song.

  121. There's no secret what God can do.

  122. I was in a horrible pit. I was in a pit of sin, but he

  123. took me out. He took me out.

  124. Let me say this. We can see this in a song and we

  125. can see that truth in the Scriptures.

  126. That's what we find ourselves tonight in this text about God,

  127. what God can do. He, he lifted up the poor out of

  128. the dust and he lifted the needy out of the dunghill.

  129. Not only did we see it damaged to it in this man's song, here

  130. it is in the scripture. What God can do.

  131. He can lift you tonight out of a dunghill and he can set you

  132. among Princess, the Princess even of glory tonight and I want

  133. to tell you it's no secret what God can do.

  134. He can do that for you. You in sin tonight.

  135. Are you in trouble tonight? Do you on the conviction of sin?

  136. Do you know you're lost? There's a great Saviour tonight,

  137. the Lord Jesus Christ. I want to say a few things here.

  138. The message here of the gospel and these words the description

  139. of the Sinner has brought before us and he news 2 words here in

  140. this particular Psalm, poor needy and the word needy is

  141. translated in another part of the Bible.

  142. I see shortly as beggar. He's describing the the unsafe

  143. person here and you, you couldn't pick two better words

  144. to describe them. The Sinner without Christ

  145. tonight. And if you're without Christ

  146. tonight, we're talking here about sparsely speak.

  147. We're not talking about having a few pounds in your back pocket

  148. or having a big a bank account tonight.

  149. We're talking here about sparsely.

  150. And the Bible says here that the one without Christ is sparsely

  151. poor. In fact, we see their poverty.

  152. What's a poor man like? They're in poverty, they have no

  153. money, they have fried little clothes, they have no home,

  154. hardly any possession, as maybe as sitting as possession as I

  155. have sitting in the bag beside them.

  156. He's nothing. If we see a Spurgeon said, the

  157. old proverb says that a beggar can never be bankrupt, but it

  158. will be more correct to say that he is never anything else.

  159. What bankrupt? He is bankrupt, he's nothing and

  160. he's poor and you all see a person tonight in this meeting.

  161. You're bankrupt, you're poverty, you're in your sin.

  162. Remember in Revelation verse 3 verse 17 right into that church

  163. it says because I says I am rich and increase with goods and if

  164. need of nothing and knows not that I had wretched and

  165. miserable and poor. Do you not know what he's saying

  166. He's writing to these people. He's telling here their true

  167. special state. You think you have everything.

  168. Do you know you have you're saying I have need of nothing.

  169. He says do you not know Do you not know that you're wretched Do

  170. you not know tonight that you're miserable?

  171. Do you not know that you're what poor in God's sight.

  172. That's how does God sees a Sinner without Christ.

  173. He's poor. He has no righteousness.

  174. Remember the Bible says there is none righteous.

  175. No, not one. He cannot say I've got a few

  176. righteousness because Messiah tells us filthy rags he he is no

  177. goodness. Why the Bible says there is none

  178. good. Listen tonight, no, not one.

  179. And when they look at the life and the heart of the all

  180. converted person tonight we see their poverty, they're poor and

  181. they are have nothing in their hand.

  182. Think of that be a song we sing sometimes.

  183. Nothing in my hands they bring. Why do we say that?

  184. Why do we say that? But people come to Christ

  185. because they haven't got nothing.

  186. What can you offer to God for your salvation?

  187. What can you offer for God for your salvation?

  188. You have nothing because you're like a beggar.

  189. You're you're in a poverty. Think about here is poverty has

  190. ability. And I've said this in the word

  191. with beggar. That word needy is translated

  192. beggar in the Bible. And that's what it means.

  193. Of course, translate a second Samuel 3 verse one as the word

  194. weaker. So it's what he's showing here,

  195. that the ability of this, this person has nothing and he's no

  196. ability. He has no strength.

  197. He has nothing. He can do nothing.

  198. I said that to you tonight. He can do nothing to rescue

  199. himself. He can do nothing to help

  200. himself. There's only one.

  201. There's only one thing this person can do.

  202. He's in his sin. I want you to notice tonight,

  203. there's only one thing he can do.

  204. That's beg. That's the only thing he can do.

  205. That's the only thing he can do. It's beg for help.

  206. He's a beggar. If we the people blame Barton

  207. Meals and others sitting by the West side and they were crying

  208. out and the one, the man sitting there at the temple, the times

  209. of Peter and John, would he give me arms?

  210. Would someone help me? This is all this is all a person

  211. and their poverty and their bankruptness.

  212. They can do nothing. Nothing they can do is beg us.

  213. All I want to say tonight don't see a person who's hopeless and

  214. helpless. There's only one thing you can

  215. do to be saved. Beg to God for mercy.

  216. Cry to him. Look at crying to me.

  217. I can't. I can't help you.

  218. I can't save you. The minister of this church

  219. cannot save you. And the only thing you can do is

  220. to pray and to cry to the Lord. That's all you can do.

  221. You can do nothing else. Remember the publican and he

  222. stood in the temple in Luke 18 and verse 13.

  223. Here's what he said. God be merciful to me, a Sinner.

  224. Do you hear him? He's like a beggar.

  225. He's crying to God for mercy. That's all you can do.

  226. You can't do works. You cannot prayer right.

  227. You cannot serve right. You cannot love God.

  228. You need to cry. You need to cry to God for

  229. mercy. That's all you can do.

  230. You can't work for salvation. Ephesians 2 verse 8 and 9 says

    Ephesians 2:8

  231. for by grace are you saved through faith, not of

  232. yourselves. It is a gift of God.

  233. Notice these words, not of works, not of works, lest that

  234. imagine both. Are you trying to work for

  235. salvation? You're putting all the way

  236. better works in the cupboard and galling them all up and says,

  237. well, here's how I get into heaven.

  238. I want to tell you tonight from this pulpit, you'll not get into

  239. heaven by your works. You're a beggar, you're poverty,

  240. you're bankrupt. You cannot work for salvation.

  241. You certainly cannot pay for salvation.

  242. There's poverty and there's ability and there's solitary

  243. because he's alone. Who wants, who wants a beggar?

  244. Who wants a beggar hanging around this hole?

  245. When you go home tonight, there's a man landing your tore

  246. in his rags. Who wants them?

  247. He's friendless. I want to say to you tonight,

  248. you're friendless without Christ.

  249. Ephesians 2 and verse 12 says that at that time you were

  250. without Christ, being aliens from the Commonwealth of virtual

  251. and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and

  252. without God in this world. You're friendless tonight,

  253. you're godless tonight, and you're hopeless tonight.

  254. Do you feel it in your heart? I remember when I was in the

  255. world and I was in the pubs and I was in the clubs and I was in

  256. the dance halls at the very end of the night, there was this

  257. loneliness that filled my heart, that filled my life.

  258. You know why? Because I was like this beggar.

  259. It's all alone. Felt alone even though

  260. surrounded by people. Because that's the spiritual

  261. state of the Sinner, the description of the Sinner.

  262. He would not, he would not describe as anyone tonight in

  263. the meeting would describe themselves like this.

  264. This is the Bible, this is the word of God how describes you

  265. tonight. You're like a beggar in great

  266. trouble. Then you're in your sin and you

  267. have nothing to offer unto God and they're lost without Christ

  268. at night. That's what the Bible tells the

  269. applause of your sin tonight. They don't want to think about

  270. the location of the centre. If you look at the Word of God,

  271. it says where he is living on the dunghill.

  272. He's living in a dunghill. The word dunghill means a heap

  273. of rubbish or filth. What an awful place to live.

  274. I don't think there's anybody round here or in this meeting

  275. tonight to say, well, I built a new home.

  276. Well, where did you build your home?

  277. Well, do you know the dunghill's up the road?

  278. That's where I built it. I don't think any one of you's

  279. in a physical fashion will build your house.

  280. The dunghill but spurs she's speaking.

  281. I want to tell you tonight that's where the on sea is

  282. living on the dunghill. Dunghill.

  283. That would be a, to me, a depressing place to live.

  284. I live up on and alone and it's lovely.

  285. You know, you can go out and you can look up into the mountains

  286. around the corner, but I can look and I can see the seaside

  287. and it's beautiful in the wheatstone walls and all of

  288. this. What I would certainly say, I

  289. would not. I would not want to build a

  290. house or live beside a dunghill. It would be a depressing place.

  291. Now, the flies wouldn't mind it, of course.

  292. But a man to live on the dunghill will be miserable

  293. indeed. Now, the dunghill's a picture of

  294. this world. I know the Bible says there's

  295. pleasure in sin. I For season.

  296. For season. There's no true happiness.

  297. There's no true joy in sin. Nothing.

  298. That's why there are many people in this world today and they're

  299. miserable and they're depressed. It talks here about even the

  300. dust. They're living in the dunghill

  301. and they're living in the dust. That's a dry place.

  302. There's no satisfaction, there's no joy, there's no peace.

  303. There's sinners away from God. He's living in a sin and he's

  304. miserable. How do I know that people today

  305. is depressed? They're Cal Stone and they're

  306. people today, young people. They're taking up, they're

  307. taking away their life. When I went to work at Jakeel

  308. years ago, such was the state of young people taking away their

  309. life and Jakeel. And in the big factory, the

  310. aircraft factory, they held a meeting and they got ministers

  311. in and I was brought in among them.

  312. And the man, while he had a real concern, he says there are

  313. people working in this factory and they're losing their sons

  314. and their daughters and what can we do to help them?

  315. They're living in the dunghill. I want to tell you it's a

  316. miserable place to live. And there's people cast down in

  317. the very depths of the spirit tonight because of her sin,

  318. living in filth. I asked you tonight, is there

  319. anyone in a meeting? Are you not fed up with the

  320. world tonight? Are you not fed up with the

  321. filth, the sin of the world? They're living in the dunghill

  322. tonight. A depressing place, a define

  323. place. What a filthy place the dunghill

  324. is. But filthy, smelly, rotten.

  325. We can use all those words. Remember this.

  326. This is a this is a picture of the representation of the world

  327. of sin. It's a filthy place that's

  328. filthy. Put the Internet on the news or

  329. lift up the newspaper. Whatever the state that we, we

  330. see the state of this world today.

  331. It's filthy. Paul could even write in his day

  332. First Corinthians 6 verse 9 that I know ye not that the

    1 Corinthians 6:9

  333. unrighteous talks about people unrighteous and not inherit the

  334. Kingdom of God. Be not deceived on her

  335. fornicators, idolaters, adulterers and famine that abuse

  336. of themselves of mankind and nor thieves or Calvinists or

  337. drunkers or revilers and our sorcerers and this gives a whole

  338. list, a whole list of people that's living in the world, a

  339. whole list of sinners surrounded on them.

  340. Listen, that's filth and that's sin.

  341. And I wonder tonight, are you among that number?

  342. Are you among that number? Remember when God looked down

  343. from heaven? Genesis 6 verse 5 says, and God

    Genesis 6:5

  344. saw he looked down. The wickedness of man was great

  345. in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of

  346. his heart was only evil continually.

  347. Psalm 14 verse 3 tells they had all gone aside.

    Psalms 14:3

  348. They're all together, become filthy.

  349. There's none that doeth good. No, not one.

  350. Because they're living for the world.

  351. They're living in sin. They're living in filth.

  352. It's the failed place. It's rotten in the sight of God.

  353. I'm asking you tonight, are you living a filthy life, a sinful

  354. life, a wicked life? Because it's just like living in

  355. a dunghill spirit. She's speaking spirit.

  356. She's speakers. God looks down.

  357. Are you living in filth? Because that's what sin is,

  358. uncleanness, and it's filthy in the sight of God.

  359. We're not here to butter up sin. We're not here to water it down.

  360. We're here to tell you what it is in the sight of a holy and a

  361. great God. You've offended him and you've

  362. sinned against him also. It was a place, a destructive,

  363. destructive place, because it wouldn't do your health much

  364. good living upon a dunghill or round about it.

  365. And we know that it wouldn't do it.

  366. And spiritually speaking, there's a very destructive place

  367. in the world. In Daniel chapter 2, verse 5,

    Daniel 2:5

  368. the Nebuchadnezzar king who wanted a dream to be interpreted

  369. to them. And he told them, if you don't

  370. give me interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces.

  371. And your houses, they're going to be made.

  372. Listen, they're going to be made like a dunghill destruction.

  373. If you don't tell me the meaning of this dream, there's death and

  374. destruction. Do you see here Dunghill link to

  375. destruction, trouble, evil? We know there's an evil world.

  376. You think of the wee lad there yesterday in Austria.

  377. He's only 21 years old and he killed 10 people in a school and

  378. then he killed himself. I just saw before he came out

  379. there, the night that he had left a note for his mother, I

  380. think, to ask for forgiveness. Whatever possessed him.

  381. It's an awful world. It's a terrible world we're

  382. living in. And just remember this, there's

  383. a day in common when God will come to judge the world and to

  384. judge sinners. And Christ is coming in flaming

  385. fire, taking vengeance on those who know not God and that have

  386. been at the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  387. And Matthew 13 verse 49 to 50 talks.

    Matthew 13:49–50

  388. I'll be taking people and notice here.

  389. And he's cast them into a furnace of fire.

  390. This world, this world's in great trouble, this world's

  391. going to be punished by God later on down the line when God,

  392. the Lord Jesus Christ comes back again.

  393. So we find here's a place of destruction.

  394. The dunghill, the the dunghill of this world.

  395. It's a terrible place to live. Now, what do we say when people

  396. live for the world, that's all they want.

  397. Remember, the world is under the curse of God because of sin.

  398. Are you living for the world tonight?

  399. You living in your sin tonight and far away from Christ,

  400. remember here, remember where you are living tonight.

  401. Remember you're in great trouble living in the dung hill of sin.

  402. But the way because on the hell, there's something else here

  403. tonight about the salvation of the Senate.

  404. Of course, 2 points are maybe not too pleasant, but here's a

  405. wonderful, wonderful Through them we have come to preach good

  406. news and the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  407. Because here's what it says. He raises up the poor out of a

  408. dust, and he lifted the needy out of the dunghill.

  409. Here's the salvation of the centre.

  410. And who? Who's the He?

  411. Who's the one who does to us? Well, if you read verse one and

  412. two and three and four and five, you know what?

  413. You'll find the Lord. You'll find his name right down

  414. those verses. The Lord.

  415. He's the one who does it and he's the only one who can do it.

  416. He lifts, he races, sitters out of the dunghill.

  417. It says her in verse 5 who is like on to the Lord or God who

  418. dwelleth on high, who humble themselves to behold the things

  419. are in the heaven and the earth. You can see here he's talking

  420. about God. He's talking about the Lord and

  421. here's what he does He raises up the poor out of the dust and he

  422. lifted the needy out of the dunghill.

  423. Here's what God does it. This is salvation of the Sinner.

  424. Oh, you think of us coming here because to have God to raise

  425. people out of a dunghill that means he comes to the dunghill

  426. himself. He doesn't send someone else, he

  427. doesn't send an Angel. He sent his Son, the Lord Jesus

  428. Christ to lift us out and remember this, the Lord Jesus

  429. Christ is Lord and He is God. In first John four and verse 14

  430. we have seen how do testify. Notice that the Father sent the

  431. Son to be the sieve of the world.

  432. He sent them. He sent them down into this

  433. dunghill of the world and He came.

  434. He came with a purpose. He came to do something.

  435. He came to save us. And you follow that in the Bible

  436. and you'll follow Christ and you'll see this.

  437. You'll see that He died upon the cross, and he shed his blood and

  438. he satisfied God's justice and he satisfied the wrath of God.

  439. And now the blood's been shed. He rose again from the dead.

  440. He sat down at the right hand of the throne of God in heaven.

  441. The Lord Jesus came. He came right down to this

  442. world. He came and died.

  443. And his blood contents us from all sin.

  444. And He is the one who lifts us. He lifts us out of this dung

  445. hell of sin. Member says that Psalm 34, verse

    Psalms 34:6

  446. 6. This poor man cried, and the

  447. Lord heard him notice and saved him out of all his troubles.

  448. He lived there from a dunghill. Who did it?

  449. The Lord did it. Psalm 41st 2.

  450. He gave me a word of testimony. He brought me up also out of a

  451. hard boot pit and out of the Mary clay, and he sat my feet

  452. upon a rock, and he established my goals.

  453. Well, listen, I asked you tonight, who brought him out?

  454. Who brought David out of the horrible pit?

  455. Did he climb out? No, he did not.

  456. The Lord brought him out. The Lord brought him out.

  457. This is the salvation of the Lord.

  458. He raises up the poor out of the doors and lifted the needy out

  459. of the dunghill. Christ, he does it.

  460. He does it. And who's the one who can save

  461. you from your sin tonight? Who's the one who can save you

  462. from a judgement? Who?

  463. Who's? I want to tell you tonight,

  464. there's one and there's only one, the Lord Jesus Christ.

  465. There's no other one can save you but the Lord Jesus Christ.

  466. You cannot do it yourself. The church cannot do it.

  467. There's only Christ can do it. He does this.

  468. He lifted the beggar out of a dunghill.

  469. You see here. He's coming and He comes to

  470. where we are and He does it. Think about his compassion.

  471. Who would want a dirty, smelly centre?

  472. Who lived in the dunghill? Who would want him?

  473. Do you not see the love of God here?

  474. What love? He has visions to verse 4 says,

  475. But God who is rich in mercy for and listen his great love, great

  476. love for work wherewith he loved us not just a little of no he's

  477. talking he's talking here about the love of God and he says his

  478. great love wherewith he loved us and we were in the downhill and

  479. we were filthy. We were defiled and we were

  480. lost. But here's a wonderful,

  481. wonderful truth. He loved us to see a love of

  482. godness. That's why we sing that hymn.

  483. Sometime I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus and Nazarene

  484. and I wonder how he had loved me, a Sinner condemned and all,

  485. and clean left in the dumb smell, and my life is full of

  486. sin. We can set, but he loved us.

  487. I want you to see something tonight of the greatness of the

  488. Lord Jesus Christ. This is the salvation of a

  489. Sinner. It's Christ.

  490. It's Christ alone can do this. I want you to learn tonight that

  491. the only one can see if you, your soul and take away your sin

  492. and at last bring you home to heaven is the Lord Jesus Christ.

  493. He does it, He doesn't read the passage.

  494. You don't do it. It's not 5050, by the way, not

  495. 5050 at all. Salvations of the Lord.

  496. He comes to the pit, He reaches into the pit where he nearly

  497. says he gets into it and he lifts you and carries you out of

  498. it. Not a great saviour.

  499. That's a Saviour that saves you the very uttermost, the Lord

  500. Jesus Christ. He's mighty.

  501. He's mighty to see it. So the salvation of sinners

  502. here. And Marcy, has he brought you

  503. out of the pit? Are you still in it?

  504. You know I'm still in it. I know I'm in it.

  505. I know I'm lost. But here's the good news.

  506. He can, he can take you out of it tonight and he can save your

  507. soul. He can do it for you gotta say

  508. last year and very quickly the exaltation of the centre because

  509. he'd he's not finished with them.

  510. It says he brings them up in the idea of it and that that he must

  511. set him with the Princess, even with the Princess of his people.

  512. So what does he do? He takes them out and you know,

  513. he puts them among the most Amidon people, new friends, new

  514. people. Now he might be the Church of

  515. Copeland. We can even go higher on us.

  516. He's thinking the great giants of the faith.

  517. You can think of Abraham and Isaac and and Jacob and, and

  518. they're going to, to, to sit down with him, because in

  519. Matthew 8, verse 11, here's what it says.

    Matthew 8:11

  520. And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and

  521. West, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in

  522. the Kingdom of heaven. Do you see what's going to

  523. happen? Man is going to come from all

  524. over the world and they're going to sit down with who?

  525. They're going to sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the

  526. Kingdom of heaven. Someday you'll be walking

  527. through heaven and you'll look and you'll see me sitting them

  528. on these ways. And you remember this sermon?

  529. Well, he did say it. He was sitting them on the

  530. people there. And so will you change of God

  531. here tonight. But the Lord can do this.

  532. What a mate. That's why we sang Amazing

  533. Grace. How sweet they sound.

  534. This is Amazing Grace, a dirty, smelly Sinner, and he's sitting

  535. among spiritual giants. Amazing Grace, how sweet the

  536. sound. And there is a new sorry people

  537. and a new place because for Samuel 2, verse 8 tells us in

  538. the same going like a correspondent passage, he raises

  539. up the poor out of the dust and he lifted the beggar from the

  540. dunghill to set them upon Princess and to make them

  541. inherit the throne of glory. There's a bit more added to them

  542. to make them inherit the throne of glory, so they're lifted out

  543. from the gutter of sin and put him on a new people.

  544. But God is not finished. He's not finished with the 1 he

  545. saves. He sets them among a new people

  546. and a new place. The throne of glory, Heaven.

  547. That's what God does and it's all free and it's by grace

  548. alone. Remember the Lord Jesus said in

  549. Revelation 3, verse 21 to him that overcometh, will I grant to

    Revelation 3:21

  550. sit with me in my throne. That wonderful.

  551. The Lord Jesus Christ, he has a throne and he says, hear him

  552. that overcometh. You're going to sit, you're

  553. going to sit with me, sit with me whereabouts, Lord Jesus,

  554. you're going to sit with me in my throne.

  555. Oh, this is a wonderful salvation of God.

  556. He lost people from the very government, from the dunghill,

  557. and he pouched them upon the throne of glory.

  558. See, a Spurgeon said. As deeply as they fail, so high

  559. are they raised. Oh, what a God we have, what a

  560. Saviour. And the Lord Jesus, what mercy,

  561. what power, what love. He, he can do this for you

  562. tonight if you call to him. Lord Jesus, I want you to save

  563. me. I want you to rescue me.

  564. I want you to forgive me. Well, you know He will.

  565. He will save you. Would you call tonight as God

  566. speaking to your heart? Don't feel it.

  567. He can't do this for you. Don't feel they're too bad.

  568. Don't don't feel tonight. They're too far down in the

  569. gutter of sin. Because remember where we

  570. started off tonight? It's no secret what God can do.

  571. He's done for others. He'll do for you.

  572. With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.

  573. It is no secret what God can do, and He's done enough for many

  574. people in this meeting. He's taken us from the dunghill

  575. and we're going home. Big Glory, rescued from the

  576. dunghill. He can rescue you tonight.

  577. Repent from your sin, Turn from your sin and cry.

  578. Put your faith and trust 100% in the Lord Jesus Christ and He

  579. will save you to the uttermost, and at last you'll be home in

  580. heaven. Have you thus testimony?

  581. This is a testimony of the one that the Lord Jesus saves.

  582. He can do that for you tonight. If you have any questions, speak

  583. with me. My brother is here as well.

  584. Speak with any of us. You need some more advice.

  585. Come to Jesus Christ, trust him tonight with all your heart, and

  586. he'll do this for you and he'll see if you don't go home.

  587. My brother was singing a lovely piece to her tonight.

  588. God's final call, God's final call.

  589. You never know the last time for you to hear the gospel.

  590. It's time to seek the Lord. Would you come and trust them?

  591. I trust you'll come tonight, be rescued, be rescued from the

  592. pit, washed in the blood of Christ and then you're to go.

  593. You're going home to heaven to be with Christ the God writers

  594. word upon our hearts today was saying a couple of verses.

  595. Our time is just going on a wee bit and with just a couple of

  596. verses, just a couple of minutes past nine there, but we're gonna

  597. sing 264. There's a couple of verses of

  598. this lovely hymn. Again, I say we're here to help

  599. people and if any questions we would love to speak with you,

  600. alright?
