The Life of Faith and Pressing the Reset Button

Well, that's welcome to our service this evening. We give thanks to God for this new opportunity to worship together and we trust that he will bless our time of worship to us.

We extend a welcome to those who are joining us online and also a welcome to those who are visiting with us.

I pray God's blessing to be on each individual person.

We join together in the worship of God by singing to his praise from Psalm number 132 in the Scottish Psalter.

It's on page 423 and we're singing at verse 11.

Psalm 132 at verse 11 in the Scottish Psalter. The tune is Free Church.

The Lord in truth to David swear he will not turn from it.

I of thy body's fruit will make upon thy throne to sit.

My covenant if thy sons will keep and laws to them may know that their children then shall also sit forever on thy throne.

And so on and we stand to sing to God's praise from verse 11 to the end of the Psalm.

The Lord in truth to David swear he will not turn from it.

I know thy holy truth will make upon thy throne to sit.

My covenant if thy sons will keep and laws to them may know that their children then shall also sit forever on.

I know thy throne.

For God's time hath made choice,

Let me teach times to dwell.

This is my quest,

Here still I'll sing,

For I do like it well.

Our moon I'm gaining less,

Our moon with red will satisfy.

And praise and hope with help,

Our saints shall shout for joyfully.

And there will I make it victor

To the poor blessed me.

For him that my anointing,

At love-boarding Thine.

At with our garment I will go,

Where shameless pain is told,

And yet the crown that he hath wear,

Abom him the rich child.

Let's join together in prayer,

Let's bow our heads in prayer.

Almighty and most gracious God,

Rejoice in this time of worship together.

You command us to come to worship you.

We desire to draw near to you,

Not only in obedience to your command,

But with the desire in our hearts,

That you will come and meet with us.

We rejoice in you as the God

Who has promised to do so.

And as we do worship you together this evening,

We pray that this time of worship,

And the whole of this day,

Will be a time when our hearts are moved,

Our lives are changed,

New direction is given to us.

And we truly sense that we are in the presence of God.

We give thanks to you for every way in which

You make yourself known to your people,

In the pages of Scripture,

In the story and the history of the people of God.

We are thankful to you for every way in which

You have blessed the hearts and lives of

Those present here before you this evening.

In times and seasons in life.

When you draw near.

When you make your name great in their hearts and lives.

When you shine in the brightness of your light.

And when you shine in the beauty of your Son,

The Lord Jesus, our Saviour.

We pray tonight that

Our time of worship would be

One such event and occasion.

When we are drawn close to you.

When our minds are enlightened.

When our hearts are moved.

And when we rediscover

How precious your grace is.

We discover how great your love is.

And rediscover even something of the words

That we are singing together.

The choice that you make of your people.

Your election of them.

So that they choose you.

Your love for them.

So that they love you in return.

Your delight in them.

So that they delight in you.

We pray you, O Lord our God.

To give to us.

That engagement of heart.

In your presence this evening.

So that joy may fill our hearts.

Arising from a sense of.

Our own nothingness and our undeservingness.

And arising from the glory of your grace.

Its magnitude.

Its power and its influence.

In the hearts and lives of sinners like ourselves.

And help us so that.

We would allow nothing to distract us from.

Paying attention to.

What you have to say to us.

That the way between us and you would be clear.

That all the lines of communion and communication.

Would be cleared by you in such a way.

That we would truly hear the.

Good sound of the gospel.

And that that good sound of the gospel.

Would resonate in our hearts.

And give to us.

A sense of.

Thankfulness before you.

A new determination to.

To follow you.

And to give our lives to you.

We give thanks to you.

For all those who.

Have followed you down through the years.

So faithfully.

We give thanks to you for.

The perseverance of the saints.

The encouragement that we have from.

Knowing from your word.

And from seeing the lives of your people.

That you are the keeper of your people.

That you are the guide of your people.

And that at last you will.

Bring them safely into your eternal home.

We pray that you will bless.

Any tonight who may be discouraged.

Any tonight who may be struggling in their faith.

Any tonight who may.

Be conscious of darkness instead of light.

Any tonight who may.

Sense a coolness in their hearts.

And brings to them.

Its own anxiety.

And longing to have the warmth of your grace and love.

Draw near to every heart.

We do pray.

Speak into the hearts of all of your children.

And be merciful and gracious.

And shine upon them.

We do pray.

The psalmist prayed for.

Your face to shine upon him.

And we pray that every heart before you tonight.

That loves your name.

Would know what it is anew.

To sense you turning around to them.

And looking down upon them.

In your loving care.

And in your grace.

And demonstrating to them.

That they are precious in your sight.

We pray a blessing for any tonight.

Who may be far from you.

Any tonight who.

Have not yet tasted.

The grace of God.

In Jesus Christ.

Any tonight who.

May know the truth in their minds.

But do not yet know the Lord Jesus in their hearts.

We do pray for such.

O Lord our God.

Your word teaches us that.

It is your spirit alone that brings life.

In your heart.

And we pray tonight for.

The power of your Holy Spirit.

To bring about that change in their hearts.

So that their knowledge of your truth.

Would descend into hearts.

That are made willing to.

Love you and to follow you.

And so that lives may be transformed.

By that saving power.

Speak with power we do pray to each and every one of us.

And may we sense the powerful influence.

Of your Holy Spirit.

With your word.

As we worship you together.

We pray for your blessing to be.

Upon us in such a way.

That having received your blessing.

We may be ready to serve you.

You sent your son into this world.

To serve you.

And you sent him into this world.

In some ways to serve us.

And you have called us now to.

Follow his example.

While we are sent to.

Continue the work that he began.

Give to us.

Hearts that are full of.

A desire to serve.

To serve your name.

In whatever capacity.

That we are called so to do.

And give to us such willing and loving hearts.

That may be our joy.

To show our love for you.

By showing your love to others.

And serving those around us.

And those around us.

In our congregation.

Those around us.

In our neighborhoods.

Those around us.

In our workplaces.

May you bless and guide.

And help us to be.

The servants of Jesus Christ.

Showing forth your praises.

And your glory.

And your mercy.

We pray for your blessing.

To be upon all the activities.

Of the congregation.

That your hand would be upon.

All areas of work.

Of witness.

And of service.

We give thanks to you.

For the youth fellowship.

We pray for your blessing.

To be upon them.

As they meet together.

This evening.

May you bless to them.

The truth that is brought before them.

The teaching of your word.

And every way.

In which the gospel is.

Presented to them.

May their young minds.

Be edified.

And molded.

And shaped by you.

And may they know the.

Truth that gives freedom.

And may they know the truth.

That gives order.

And organization.

And structure to life.

And may they.

Learn to live by faith.

On Jesus Christ.

Who loved them.

And gave himself.

For them.

Bless all.

Our homes and families.

Bless those.

Who are laid aside.

In illness.

Bless those.

Who are frail.

And weak.

Bless those.

Who may be seriously ill.

Bless those.

Who mourn and grieve.

We pray your comforting presence.

For each and.

Every one of these.

And all of their individual situations.

May the spirit of the Lord.

Be near to them.

May you give health.

May you give health.

Whether that is in accordance.

With your will.

And may you give grace.

In the midst of every.

Kind of affliction.

That your people may.

Grow closer to you.

Even in times of trial.

And in times of.

Illness.

And in times of.

Affliction.

We pray your blessing.

To be upon us.

As a congregation.

Of your people.

These days of vacancy.

We continue.

To look to you.

To pray to you.

To guide.

And to lead.

For the spirit of the Lord.

To be upon us.

In our prayers.

Reaching out to you.

And for sensing.

Your guiding.

Your steering presence.

In hand.

To lead us.

To the person.

Of your choosing.

And of your appointing.

And praying.

That you will do so.

Through the prayers.

Of your people.

And giving each.

And everyone.

A sense of dependence.

Upon you.

And being encouraged.

And you making yourself.

Known.

To the minds.

Who are praying.

Before you.

So guide us.

And provide for us.

Bless all of our.

Connegations.

Bless our wider.

Island community.

We pray blessing.

To be upon each.

Of our connegations.

This evening.

And every parish.

In which the gospel.

Is preached.

We pray for our nation.

And for our land.

We pray for our parliaments.

We pray blessing.

To be upon all those.

In positions of authority.

We ask.

That you will.

Bless them.

And give to them.

Your fear in their hearts.

That they may be.

An influence.

For good.

Bless the wider world.

In which you live.

We pray blessing.

To be upon.

Every corner of it.

In its needs.

In its brokenness.

In its conflicts.

In its wars.

And in strife.

We pray that you will.

Have a mercy.

We do give thanks to you.

For the breakthrough.

In the Middle East.

And I pray that you will.

Establish that.

Peace.

That may be lasting.

For the good.

Of that area.

Of all those.

Who live in it.

And who have suffered much.

We pray a blessing.

To be on those.

Who are.

In authority.

And who are.

In the midst of all of these.

Deliberations.

May you.

Guide them.

In the way.

You.

Throughly establish.

A peace.

That will.

Be for the well-being.

Of that part of the world.

In the days.

To come.

In all of these nations.

And across the nations.

Of the earth.

We pray you.

To bless.

And to show that.

Your kingdom is coming.

That you are indeed.

Present in this world.

And that you are building.

Your church.

Encourage your people.

Every group.

We pray.

In the midst of all.

Discouragements.

We pray a blessing.

To be upon us now.

Before you.

Guide us.

Lead us.

Protect us.

Guard us from anything.

And what distract us.

We do pray.

And give us peace.

In praising you.

Give us peace.

In reading your word.

And studying it together.

Help us with a sense.

Of your guiding presence.

We ask.

And to me.

We will be still.

Before you.

In all we seek to do.

In your name.

At this time.

Hear us.

We pray.

And to our mercy.

We ask.

We ask these things.

For Jesus sake.

We are going to praise God.

This time.

It is Psalm number 18.

And at the beginning.

Of the Psalm.

It is Psalm number 18.

It is in Sing Psalms.

It is on page 19.

It is a song of David.

A song of.

Praising God.

For his deliverance.

And.

We are singing.

At verse 1.

On page 19.

And the tune is.

Duke Street.

I love you.

Lord.

You are my strength.

A forfeit is.

The Lord to me.

My rock.

And my deliverer.

For refuge.

To my God.

I flee.

And we sing.

From verse 1.

To the verse 6.

To God's praise.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

To thee

My

Rock and

Mighty

Lever

For

A

Truth

My God

I

Be

He

Is my

Stronghold

And my

Shield

The Lord

Who saves

Me

By

His

Light

I'll

Call on

Him

And

Give

Him

Face

I

Stay

Deep

I

Close

To

Ride

But

Chords

Of

Death

Let

Unwilled

Me

Dis voy

Structure his me like a ring

Encircled by the smears of death

I miss the tenors of the grave

In my distress I call on God

I guide up to the Lord for thee

He from his temple appeared my voice

Healest and true that there I may

I'm starting together now to hear the word of God from the New Testament

from the book of Acts and in chapter 2

I'm reading at verse 22

The book of Acts chapter 2 and at verse 22

Acts 2 · chapter mention

And you will notice from your Bibles that we are

stepping into the middle of Peter's sermon on the day of Pentecost

Acts 2 and verse 22

Let us hear the word of God

Men of Israel hear these words

Jesus of Nazareth a man attested to you

by God with mighty works and wonders

and signs that God did through him in your midst

As you yourselves know

This Jesus delivered up according to the definite plan

and full knowledge of God

You crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men

God raised him up

losing the pangs of death

because it was not possible for him to be held by it

For David says concerning him

I saw the Lord always before me

For he is at my right hand

that I may not be shaken

Therefore my heart was glad

and my tongue rejoiced

My flesh also will dwell in hope

For you will not abandon my soul to Hades

or let your Holy One see corruption

You have made known to me the paths of life

You will make me full of gladness with your presence

Brothers, I may say to you

with confidence about the patriarch David

that he had both died and was buried

and his tomb is with us to this day

Being therefore a prophet

and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him

that he would set one of his descendants on his throne

he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ

that he was not abandoned to Hades

nor did his flesh see corruption

This Jesus God raised up

and of that we all are witnesses

Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God

and having received from the Father

the promise of the Holy Spirit

he has poured out this

that you yourselves are seeing and hearing

For David did not ascend into the heavens

but he himself says

The Lord said to my Lord

sit at my right hand

until I make your enemies your footstool

Let all the house of Israel

therefore know for certain

that God has made him

both Lord and Christ

this Jesus whom you crucified

Now when they heard this

they were cut to the heart

and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles

Brothers, what shall we do?

Peter said to them

Repent and be baptized

every one of you

in the name of Jesus Christ

for the forgiveness of your sins

and you will receive the gift

of the Holy Spirit

for the promises for you

and for your children

and for all who are far off

everyone whom the Lord

our God calls to himself

and with many other words

he bore witness

and continued to exhort them

saying

Save yourselves from this crooked generation

so those who received his word

were baptized

and there were added

that day

about three thousand souls

Amen

This is God's word

we trust that you are blessed to us

that reading from it

Now return to placing God

this is Psalm number 80

That's Psalm number 80a

on page 107

We're singing at verse 14

Psalm 80a at verse 14

The tune is Sussex

Turn to us, O God Almighty

Look and see from heaven above

Tend this vine your hand has planted

and the Son you raised in love

We stand to sing from verse 14

to verse 19

to God's praise

Turn to us, O God Almighty

Look and see from heaven above

Tend this vine your hand has planted

And the Son you raised in love

See your pine cut down and wither

And this branch is burned with fire

Your renewed past, your people

And they perish in your eye

Let your hand be placed in blessing

On the land at your right hand

On the Son of man you chose

Who had hope you caused to stand

Then we will not wander from you

Turning from you

Turning from you to our shame

Strengthen us, revive and heal us

Then we'll fall upon your name

Look on us, our God Almighty

Look on us, our God Almighty

Let us see your glory bright

Turn us once again towards you

Come and save us, give us life

Let's turn together now to the book of Acts

And chapter number 2

And we can read at verse number 36

Acts chapter 2 at verse 36

Acts 2 · chapter mention

Reading this verse

But considering the surrounding verses together

Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain

That God has made him both Lord and Christ

This Jesus whom you crucified

Now when they heard this

They were cut to the heart

And said to Peter and the rest of the apostles

Brothers, what shall we do?

Do you?

Now it's clear as we read the Bible

That there is progression in the story of our salvation

And right from the beginning of the Bible

We see a development in the promise and the purposes of God

To save a people for himself

And step by step and stage by stage

We see God working out his plans

That's what we expect from God

He has a purpose and he has a plan

And every detail of it is provided by him

And worked out by his own intervention and action

When you read the book of Acts

We see itself that it is a sequel to the gospel according to Luke

Luke is a historian who has given to us

An account in the gospel

Of the way in which Jesus spoke to the people

The way in which he performed miracles

The way in which he spoke of his life and of his death

And the way in which he died and was resurrected

And Luke makes clear at the beginning of this book of Acts

That he is speaking to us about the kingdom of God

And tonight we want to think something about the kingdom of God

And in that progression

We see at the beginning of this chapter

That something really significant has taken place

I would suggest perhaps more significant than the cross itself

That the time has come for God, for Jesus

To send his spirit into the world

That's the only thing that makes a difference

That the spirit of God is now here

And because the spirit of God is now here

God is building his church

With the power of his spirit

And ensuring that his mission is on course

That the progress of redemption

Continues relentlessly

Until the day at which

All of the church of Christ

Is at last saved

And I want us to think of this passage this evening

In the sense of

Pressing a reset button

Because there are times in life

Simply by the kind of lives that we live

That whatever faith we have

Is influenced by and corrupted by

The things that take place around us

And we end up becoming fuzzy in our thinking

We end up losing sight of the basic principles of our salvation

And we end up living a life that

Perhaps to a greater degree

Or a greater or lesser degree

Is departing away from what the Bible says

We have a smart thermostat

In our home for controlling our heating

It's great when it works

It knows when we're away

That we don't need heat

It knows when we're home that we need heat

It senses when we come in

When it's working it's great

But when it stops working

It thinks we're at home when we're away

It thinks we're away when we're at home

And it gets confused

And the only way of resolving that problem

Is pressing the reset button

And going back to factory settings

So that it works the way that it should

And tonight I want us to bear that in mind

Because that's what we so often need

In our journey through this world

Pressing the reset button

Taking all of our thoughts

About our personal salvation

And about the work of God and of Jesus

Back to the basics of the Bible

And then to rediscover

What our faith really is

And what God has actually done

And so

The life of faith

And pressing the reset button

First of all I want us to see in the passage

That there is a return

And to see that return

I want us to notice

First of all

That there is

The absence of a presence

And it's

We need to be careful to understand

That when we

Read the Bible

From end to end

There is a stage in the Bible

When the presence of God

Is absent

And only what God does

Will restore his own presence

To his people

And in this passage

We see that

There is the absence

Of the presence of God

And that absence

Is brought before us

From the way in which

We are introduced

To the cross itself

And the way in which

In verse 23

This Jesus

Delivered up

According to the definite plan

And for knowledge of God

You crucified

And killed

By the hands

Of lawless men

There is a definite plan

Of God

The cross is no accident

That took place

Because a sinful world

Rejected the Lord Jesus

They certainly did that

But there is a definite plan

And in accordance with that

Plan

There is a delivering up

And we need to be sure

That we don't mistake

In delivering up

For deliverance

Because deliverance

Is rescuing from

And delivering up

Is handing over to

And that's what

Peter wants to highlight here

That in the cross

Of Jesus

There is a delivering up

To all of the cross

Involved

And when we see

Jesus on the cross

He's delivered

Into the hands

Of God himself

The God

Whose plan

It is

And for us to understand

The big picture

Of the Bible

And the big picture

Of the story

Of salvation

For us to fit

Ourselves into it

We need to understand

That the cross

Is the glass

Through which we see

The absence

Of the presence

Of God

And when I hear

Jesus on the cross

Saying

My God

My God

Why have you

Forsaken me

What is that

Telling us

It is

Telling us

That Jesus is here

Representing his people

And that he is

Representing his people

Because

They have forsaken God

And because

They have forsaken him

He has forsaken them

And God spoke of that

In Deuteronomy 31

They will forsake me

And break my covenant

And because of that

I will forsake them

And when I do hear

Jesus crying out

Why have you

Forsaken me

It speaks to us

Of the absence

Of God

That God is no longer

With his people

Of course God

Is still working

But in the big picture

Of our salvation

The message is

God is absent

And for Jesus

To go

Where

Where we should be

He needs to

Experience

The absence

Of the presence

Of God

And that's what

Happens on the cross

It's

The exile

That we see

Physically

In Babylon

But it's the

Spiritual exile

Where we're

Forsaken

By God

Because we

Ourselves

Forsook God

And when we

Come to

The cross

Of Jesus

Personally

And individually

To ask

What the cross

Means

Yet

Yes it

Certainly

Does mean

That he

Loved me

And gave

Himself

For me

But the

Big picture

Into which

We must

Fit these

Elements

That are

Personal

Is the

Big picture

Of God

Withdrawing

His presence

From his

People

And the

Only answer

To that

Is to send

His son

The Lord

Jesus

To die

On the

Cross

And to

Experience

That

And to

Go there

As the

One who

Is bearing

Our sin

And who's

Our substitute

Dying in

Our place

The absence

Of the

Presence

Let's not

In sight

Of the

Whole story

Of God's

People

That feeds

Into the

Cross

To inform

Us

That God

Is

Absent

And

Salvation

At the

Cross

Speaks

Of

And the

Resurrection

Speaks

Of

It speaks

Of the

Return

Of the

Presence

Of God

And that's

What Peter

Wants to

Highlight

Here

We see

The way

In which

He

He speaks

Of

Jesus

Being

Raised

From the

Dead

And

God

Loosing

The

Pangs

Of

Death

Because

It was

Not

Possible

That

Death

Should

Hold

Him

He

Is

Raised

By

God

And

The

Very

Action

Of

God

In

Coming

To

Raise

His

Son

From

The

Dead

It's

The

First

Expression

Of

The

Return

Of

The

Presence

Of

God

That

He

Is

Active

Now

In

The

Person

Of

His

Son

To

Raise

Him

From

The

Dead

And

He

Raises

Him

From

The

Dead

And

Peter

Goes

On

To

Show

The

Way

In

Which

He

Is

Exalted

And

Seated

At

God's

Right

Hand

And

There

We

See

The

Great

Transaction

That

Speaks

Of

The

Return

Of

The

Presence

Of

God

And

Peter

Speaks

About

That

In

Verse

Number

33

Having

Received

From

The

Father

The

Promise

Of

The

Holy

Spirit

He

Has

Poured

Out

This

Which

You

Now

See

And

Hear

The

Spirit

Of

God

Is

Poured

Out

Into

The

Church

The

That

Jesus

Promised

His

People

His

Disciples

In

The

Upper

Room

The

The

Comforter

If

I

Go

I

Will

Send

Him

To

You

If

I

Go

The

Father

Will

Send

Him

In

My

Name

It's

The

Spirit

That

Was

Promised

And

Now

In

This

In

The

Experience

Of

The

The

Not

By

But

By

The

What's

No

What's

Happening

To

Us

Collectively

As

And

As

Across

No

What

We

May

Conclude

The

Of

God

The

Of

God

Is

Irreversibly

Here

In

The

Church

Of

Christ

In

The

World

And

That's

How

The

Church

Will

Grow

And

Tonight

As

We

Think

Of

Pressing

The

Reset

Button

On

Our

Understanding

Of

Salvation

We

Want

To

Do

So

And

To

Remember

That

In

The

Resurrection

Of

Jesus

The

Exaltation

Of

Jesus

And

In

This

That

The

That's

In
