-
Now come to God in worship. Let us sing to his praise in Psalm 130 of the Scottish Psalter.
-
You'll find that on page 421 of the Blue Book. Psalm 130, Scottish Psalter version.
-
From the beginning of that psalm down to the end, we'll sing the whole of that psalm.
-
Lord, from the depths to thee I cried. My voice, Lord, do thou hear.
-
And to my supplications voice, give an attentive ear.
-
Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord, should mark iniquity, but yet with thee forgivenesses that feared thou mayest be.
-
I wait for God, my soul doth wait, my hope is in his word.
-
More than they that for morning watch, my soul waits for the Lord.
-
I say more than they that to watch, the morning light to see.
-
Let Israel hope in the Lord, for with him mercy be.
-
And plenteous redemption is ever found with him.
-
And from all his iniquities, he Israel shall redeem.
-
The psalmist, they are trusting in God and relying on him.
-
His hope is in the word as his soul waits upon it.
-
Whatever situation we are in, we can come to the Lord with confidence.
-
Let us stand together and sing.
-
Lord, from the depths to thee I cried.
-
Lord, from the depths to thee I cried.
-
My voice, Lord, do thou hear.
-
And to my supplications voice, give an attentive ear.
-
Lord, who shall stand in the path, O Lord?
-
Choose mark in the glory.
-
God, yet with thee, forgiveness is not fear,
-
Thou mayest be.
-
I wait for God.
-
My soul doth wait.
-
My hope is in his word.
-
More than they that, O morning watch.
-
My soul waits for the Lord.
-
I sing more than they that, O morning light.
-
O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord.
-
For with him mercy speak.
-
And plenteous redemption
-
His love, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord.
-
And from all his iniquities,
-
He Israel shall redeem.
-
Amen.
-
Amen.
-
We'll now join together in prayer.
-
We'll pray for the younger ones
-
before they go through into Sunday school.
-
Let us pray.
-
Our Father in heaven,
-
we give thanks for this day
-
that we have the opportunity to come,
-
set aside from the duties of this week,
-
and gather together and worship you,
-
to draw near to you.
-
And we pray that as we do so,
-
your presence and your spirit would be among us.
-
We pray for each one that is gathered here
-
in Persian and online,
-
that you are a God who knows us,
-
and you know the situations of our lives.
-
You know the hairs on our heads.
-
You know the difficulties that we face
-
and the cries of our hearts.
-
And so we come and bring these before you,
-
but also we confess our sins
-
and the waywardness of our lives,
-
but yet with thee forgiveness is.
-
And Lord, we can come to you with confidence.
-
We pray that we would know this as we gather.
-
We just pray also for the young that are gathered with us.
-
We pray that they would know more of Christ
-
and that they would understand what he has done for them
-
by dying on the cross at Calvary.
-
And in him there is the power of life.
-
As he is the one who rose Lazarus from the dead,
-
we pray that they would understand
-
that he can take us from sin
-
and give us a hope and eternal life
-
with you in the heavens.
-
So Lord, we pray,
-
be with us as we gather,
-
as we read your word,
-
as we go to our classes,
-
be with the teachers.
-
Help us to have a mind focused upon you,
-
not distracted in any way.
-
Help us to learn about you
-
and to know more about what you have done for us.
-
Forgive us our sins, we pray.
-
We ask these things in Jesus' name.
-
Amen.
-
Amen.
-
Now before the young ones go off and do Sunday school,
-
just say a wee word to them.
-
Now I wonder,
-
have your parents ever told you to stop doing something?
-
Maybe you don't need to think about that too hard.
-
Maybe this morning you were told to stop doing something.
-
I've got a sign here.
-
Stop on it.
-
I made this one.
-
It's not,
-
I was running out of red pen.
-
Seems all the red pens in our house are empty.
-
But you'll have seen a sign like this
-
when you're in the car
-
with your mommy or daddy
-
or your granny or grandpa
-
or in the bus.
-
And you see them,
-
you see some of them,
-
they're stuck.
-
But then you'll see other ones
-
where a man holds it.
-
There might be works going on in the road
-
and there'll be a man holding the sign
-
telling you to stop.
-
And then your parents,
-
or whoever's driving,
-
probably goes,
-
oh no,
-
we've got to stop.
-
Because we don't like stopping.
-
But then the man will turn the sign
-
and tell us to go.
-
And then we're quite happy
-
to go on our way.
-
There may be some within the congregation
-
who actually work with these tools,
-
this sign,
-
and it's an important job.
-
Keeps everyone safe.
-
Allows the workers to do their job.
-
But usually they use it
-
because the driver can't see the other side.
-
Usually they've closed one side of the road
-
and whoever's in the car
-
can't see what's ahead.
-
So they need someone to tell them
-
when to stop
-
and when to go.
-
So there's no accidents.
-
There's no crashes.
-
So we don't get ourselves in trouble.
-
When God does the same thing with us,
-
he tells us to stop.
-
He tells us to stop on Sundays.
-
He tells us to stop and read the Bible.
-
He tells us to stop and pray.
-
And all these things are good for us to do.
-
God tells us to do these things.
-
And sometimes,
-
sometimes we don't like it.
-
Sometimes we like to just keep going
-
and doing what we like doing.
-
We like to keep going all the time.
-
You remember the story of Mary and Martha.
-
Mary sat and stopped what she was doing
-
and listen to Jesus.
-
But Martha kept going and going and going.
-
But Mary chose the best thing,
-
to stop and listen.
-
So it was good for us
-
that we are told to stop,
-
stop the work that we're doing,
-
stop going to school,
-
and to come before God
-
and listen to what he says to us.
-
But it's also important
-
to go
-
when Jesus tells us to go.
-
And you'll see in your story today
-
about Lazarus
-
that Jesus waited for a while
-
and then he went.
-
So maybe you'll see
-
if you can spot that
-
in your story today.
-
But whenever you see this sign up,
-
I want you to remember
-
God tells us to stop
-
on Sundays,
-
listen to him.
-
We need to listen to him.
-
If we don't listen to him,
-
it's not good.
-
And then
-
he tells us to go for him
-
and to go and tell people about him.
-
So when you see
-
the sign,
-
remember
-
what God tells us to do.
-
We need to stop
-
and we need to go.
-
We'll pray
-
that'll be blessed to you
-
and be blessing to you
-
as you go to your classes.
-
Let us say the Lord's Prayer together.
-
Our Father,
-
which art in heaven,
-
hallowed be thy name.
-
Thy kingdom come.
-
Thy will be done on earth
-
as it is in heaven.
-
Give us this day
-
our daily bread
-
and forgive us our debts
-
as we forgive our debtors.
-
And lead us not into temptation,
-
but deliver us from evil.
-
For thine is the kingdom,
-
the power and the glory
-
forever.
-
Amen.
-
Okay, thank you for listening.
-
We'll continue in our praise
-
by singing in Psalm 51
-
and the Sing Psalms version.
-
You'll find that on page 67
-
of the blue book.
-
Psalm 51,
-
page 67
-
from the beginning of that psalm,
-
down to verse Mark 9.
-
O my God,
-
have mercy on me.
-
In your steadfast love,
-
I pray.
-
In your infinite compassion,
-
my transgressions wipe away.
-
Cleanse me from iniquity.
-
Wash my sin away from me.
-
It's a psalm where David himself
-
had to stop
-
before God
-
and confess his sins.
-
So let us stand,
-
sing to God's praise
-
from the beginning
-
down to verse Mark 9.
-
O my God,
-
have mercy on me.
-
O my God,
-
have mercy on me.
-
In your steadfast love,
-
I pray.
-
In your infinite compassion,
-
my transgressions wipe away.
-
Cleanse me from iniquity.
-
Wash my sin away from me.
-
For I know my own transgressions.
-
I can see my sinful plight.
-
You, you, only I've offended.
-
And none evil in your sight.
-
So your words are verified
-
And your verdict justified.
-
From my birth I have been sinful
-
Such the nature I received
-
Sinful from my first beginning
-
In my mother's womb conceived
-
Truth you look for
-
In my heart
-
Wisdom to me
-
You impart
-
Cleanse with this
-
Of purify me
-
I'll be whiter than the snow
-
Let the bones you crush
-
Be joyful
-
May I joy and goodness know
-
May I joy and goodness know
-
From my failure
-
Hide your face
-
Altered all my wickedness
-
If you turn with me
-
To your Bibles now
-
And we'll take a reading
-
From the book of Acts
Acts 9 chapter mention
-
Chapter 9
-
Book of Acts
-
Reading from the beginning
-
Of chapter 9
-
It's an account of Saul's conversion
-
We'll read down to the end of verse Mark 22
-
Let us hear the word of God
-
Acts 9
-
From the beginning
-
But Saul still breathing threats and murders
-
Against the disciples of the Lord
-
Went to the high priests
-
And asked him for letters
-
To the synagogues at Damascus
-
So that if he found any belonging to the way
-
Men or women
-
He might bring them bound to Jerusalem
-
Now as he went on his way
-
He approached Damascus
-
And suddenly a light from heaven
-
Flashed around him
-
And falling to the ground
-
He heard a voice saying to him
-
Saul, Saul
-
Why are you persecuting me?
-
And he said
-
Who are you, Lord?
-
And he said
-
I am Jesus
-
Whom you are persecuting
-
But rise and enter the city
-
And you will be told
-
What you are to do
-
The men who were travelling with him
-
Stood speechless
-
Hearing the voice
-
But seeing no one
-
Saul rose from the ground
-
And although his eyes were opened
-
He saw nothing
-
So they led him by hand
-
And brought him into Damascus
-
And for three days
-
He was without sight
-
And neither ate nor drank
-
Now there was a disciple at Damascus
-
Named Ananias
-
The Lord said to him in a vision
-
Ananias
-
And he said
-
Here I am, Lord
-
And the Lord said to him
-
Rise and go to the street called Straight
-
And at the house of Judas
-
Look for a man of Tarshish
-
Named Saul
-
For behold
-
He is praying
-
And he has seen a vision
-
Of a man named Ananias
-
Come in
-
And lay his hands on him
-
So that he might regain his sight
-
But Ananias answered
-
Lord, I have heard
-
From many about this man
-
How much evil he has done
-
To your saints at Jerusalem
-
And he has authority
-
From the chief priests
-
To bind all who call on your name
-
But the Lord said to him
-
Go
-
For he is a chosen instrument of mine
-
To carry my name
-
Before the Gentiles
-
And kings
-
And the children of Israel
-
For I will show him
-
How much he must suffer
-
For the sake of my name
-
So Ananias departed
-
And entered the house
-
And laying his hands on him
-
He said
-
Brother Saul
-
The Lord Jesus
-
Who appeared to you
-
On the road
-
By which you came
-
Has sent me
-
So that you may regain your sight
-
And be filled
-
With the Holy Spirit
-
And immediately
-
Something like scales
-
Fell from his eyes
-
And he regained his sight
-
Then he rose
-
And was baptized
-
And taking food
-
He was strengthened
-
For some days
-
He was with the disciples
-
At Damascus
-
And immediately
-
He proclaimed Jesus
-
In the synagogue
-
Saying
-
He is the Son of God
-
And all who heard him
-
Were amazed
-
And said
-
Is not this the man
-
Who made havoc
-
In Jerusalem
-
Of those who called
-
Upon his name
-
And has he not
-
Come here
-
For this purpose
-
To bring them bound
-
Before the chief priests
-
But Saul
-
Increased all
-
The more
-
In strength
-
And confounded
-
The Jews
-
Who lived in Damascus
-
By proving
-
That Jesus
-
Was the Christ
-
Amen
-
May the reading
-
Of God's word
-
Be a blessing
-
To each
-
Who hear it
-
Let us
-
Turn in prayer
-
To him
-
Let us pray
-
Our Father in heaven
-
As we come
-
To your word
-
We see the miraculous
-
Works that you can do
-
That you can change
-
The man
-
Who is rooted in evil
-
And change him
-
To be devoted
-
To your cause
-
Lord
-
We come into your presence
-
We pray that you would
-
Give us a clearer
-
Understanding
-
Of who you are
-
And to whom
-
We come before
-
And through Christ
-
Jesus and his
-
We gain a greater
-
Understanding
-
So as we come
-
To your word
-
Open up
-
Our eyes
-
And block
-
Our ears
-
That we may
-
Hear
-
See
-
And know
-
The riches
-
That are
-
Unmestable
-
To be found
-
In this man
-
Jesus Christ
-
And the hope
-
That he can give us
-
In a world
-
That is full
-
Of confusion
-
And hopelessness
-
And that you give us
-
A sight
-
Beyond this world
-
Into things
-
That are eternal
-
And everlasting
-
So let us
-
As your people
-
Hold fast
-
To you
-
That we would
-
Keep our eyes
-
Upon you
-
In every walk
-
Of life
-
Wherever you
-
Take us
-
And whatever
-
Situations you
-
Bring us into
-
And often we are
-
Tempted to turn
-
Away
-
And we confess
-
In the foolishness
-
Of understanding
-
We see
-
Easier paths
-
To take
-
But
-
Lord
-
We pray
-
That we would
-
Be obedient
-
And faithful
-
To you
-
That we may be
-
People set apart
-
And holy
-
From this world
-
That we
-
May be
-
Lights
-
And darkness
-
And show
-
Forth
-
Who Jesus
-
Christ is
-
A hope
-
Beyond all
-
Understanding
-
That the world
-
Gives to us
-
And in our
-
Weakness
-
We confess
-
That our
-
Words
-
Do not
-
Portray this
-
In the way
-
We wish
-
At times
-
Nor do
-
Our actions
-
But we ask
-
That your spirit
-
Would be
-
Indwelling
-
Within each
-
Of us
-
That it may
-
Strengthen us
-
And guide us
-
Along the way
-
That we may
-
Come to you
-
In prayer
-
Asking
-
Show
-
And reveal
-
To us
-
Your ways
-
So that we
-
May walk
-
In it
-
That we
-
May walk
-
Along the
-
Paths
-
That are
-
Set aside
-
For us
-
That we
-
May not
-
Turn again
-
To foolishness
-
As pilgrims
-
In the progress
-
Turned
-
Looked
-
To turn
-
Back
-
And looked
-
To seek
-
A path
-
Other than
-
Whole difficulty
-
We seek
-
We seek
-
An easier
-
Way
-
Lord
-
It's not
-
The best
-
That we
-
Would strive
-
And be
-
Encouraged
-
And find
-
Our strength
-
In you
-
For the
-
Difficult days
-
That lie
-
Ahead
-
That we
-
Would not
-
Grow
-
Lukewarm
-
In our
-
Hearts
-
That we
-
Would hold
-
Fast
-
To you
-
And as we
-
Come to your
-
Word
-
Open it up
-
To us
-
We pray
-
So that we
-
May be like
-
The two
-
On the road
-
To Emmaus
-
Confessed
-
That when
-
It was
-
Opened
-
Their hearts
-
Burned
-
Within them
-
Pray
-
Lord
-
That you
-
Instill
-
Within us
-
A fire
-
For the
-
Gospel
-
That we
-
May see
-
And
-
Understand
-
The
-
Souls
-
Need
-
In this
-
World
-
That we
-
May have
-
A heart
-
Of
-
Compassion
-
To those
-
Who are
-
Lost
-
And extend
-
The compassion
-
That Christ
-
Offers to
-
Them in the
-
Gospel
-
And he
-
Calls them
-
To come
-
And receive
-
Of these
-
Riches
-
Sweeter
-
Than honey
-
And richer
-
Than gold
-
Lord we
-
Pray
-
That you
-
May make
-
Us
-
Lights
-
In darkness
-
To bring
-
Forth
-
These
-
Things
-
Remember

Will I unite my heart

That I thy name may fear

Continually

O Lord my God

With all my heart

To thee I will give praise
-
And I the glory
-
Will ask Christ
-
And to thy name always
-
Because thy mercy
-
Toward me
-
In goodness
-
Thou excel
-
And thou
-
Be delivered
-
As my soul
-
Out from the lowest hell
-
If you could turn back with me
-
To the passage that we read
-
In the book of Acts
Acts 9 chapter mention
-
Chapter 9
-
And the text
-
I would like to give focus to you
-
Is from verse 15
-
But the Lord said to him
-
Go
-
For he is a chosen instrument of mine
-
To carry my name
-
Before the Gentiles
-
And the kings
-
And the children
-
For I will show him
-
How much he must suffer
-
For the sake of my name
-
So Ananias departed
-
This morning
-
The passage that we read together
-
It reveals to us
-
One of the most astonishing ways
-
In which God can work
-
How he can take the person
-
Who is proudly consumed
-
With a deep hatred towards God
-
And changing into a man
-
Who is humbly devoted
-
To his way
-
The great work of conversion
-
Within the soul of a believer
-
Or the soul of a sinner
-
From one that was ready here
-
In the passage
-
To murder the Christian
-
In verse 1
-
To the man that we find
-
Sitting and eating
-
In the company of the Christian
-
In verse 19
-
And joining in the worship of God
-
In many ways
-
We don't understand this
-
It defies our logic
-
And our understanding
-
That one of such evil
-
Could be changed
-
In such a manner
-
But with God
-
Anything is possible
-
Saul is not the only character
-
In this passage
-
And while there are others
-
In the background
-
We have another man in focus
-
His name is Ananias
-
This man is seemingly
-
A resident of Damascus
-
And is a disciple
-
Of Jesus
-
And a follower
-
Of the way
-
And as we turn
-
To this passage
-
We can see
-
That both of these men
-
Have been directed
-
By God
-
God has spoken
-
To them
-
The Lord has appeared
-
To each of them
-
Giving them instructions
-
That they must obey
-
Saul
-
Has essentially been
-
Stalked in his tracks
-
While Ananias
-
Has been told
-
The one who is newly
-
Converted
-
To this way
-
And the other
-
Who is continuing
-
To live
-
By this way
-
And we are told
-
Of Saul
-
That he is an instrument
-
Of the Lord
-
There in verse 15
-
But it is surely true
-
That we can say
-
The same of Ananias
-
In this passage
-
Although he is there
-
To fulfil
-
A different purpose
-
But even in this
-
Understanding
-
We don't just
-
Stop at this passage
-
For surely
-
That term
-
Is true
-
Of every Christian
-
Surely that term
-
Is true
-
Of all the Lord's people
-
Who are gathered
-
Here this morning
-
That they are
-
Instruments
-
For his cause
-
Whether we are
-
Young
-
Or old
-
Whether we are
-
New to the faith
-
Or mature
-
In faith
-
Surely it is true
-
That we can say
-
That we are all
-
Instruments
-
Of the Lord
-
And the believer
-
Is an instrument
-
But what does it mean
-
To be an instrument
-
Of God
-
You can imagine
-
A musical instrument
-
Like a guitar
-
Or a piano
-
They can create
-
The most spectacular
-
Compositions
-
Of music
-
But they can also
-
Create the most horrendous
-
The quality
-
Of the sound
-
That comes from it
-
Is not dependent
-
On the instrument
-
You may remember
-
A film called
-
Greenbrick
-
Where there was a film
-
About a pianist
-
And he was going
-
Around the country
-
Playing on pianos
-
For people to enjoy
-
But he had to play
-
On a certain type
-
Of piano
-
And one time
-
It wasn't
-
A Steinway
-
Is what they call it
-
It wasn't a Steinway
-
Piano that was set
-
Before him
-
To play on
-
But he must
-
They were endeavoured
-
To get him
-
A Steinway
-
Piano
-
But even if you gave me
-
Or anyone here
-
A Steinway
-
Piano
-
I wouldn't do much
-
With it
-
I wouldn't
-
I wouldn't be a pianist
-
I wouldn't create
-
Anything
-
That you would
-
Be an off
-
Well
-
Maybe it would
-
It wouldn't be very good
-
It would be horrendous
-
So the praise
-
The adoration
-
Of the music
-
Does not go
-
To the instrument
-
It goes to the person
-
Who plays it
-
It goes to the person
-
In whose hands
-
It falls
-
Now an instrument
-
You know
-
It could be described
-
In different ways
-
An instrument
-
Could be a tool
-
That you use for work
-
As many of us here
-
Could associate with
-
The tools that we use
-
And the quality
-
Of the items
-
That we use
-
Make all the difference
-
For us
-
As skilled persons
-
That use them
-
But giving that item
-
To someone else
-
Doesn't mean
-
That they will be
-
As skilled
-
Or produce
-
The same results
-
You see
-
It is the one
-
Who holds the item
-
Who knows best
-
What to do with it
-
The master
-
The one who is familiar
-
With it
-
Knows how to use it
-
And knows how to get
-
The best result
-
From it
-
It is not determined
-
By the instrument
-
It is determined
-
By the one
-
Whose hands
-
It is placed
-
Within
-
And the words
-
Here in this passage
-
As instrument
-
It could equally be
-
Described as
-
A vessel
-
That may be more
-
Familiar to many of us
-
That he is a chosen
-
Vessel
-
And same again
-
If you take
-
A vessel
-
Or a bowl
-
In our imaginations
-
It's same
-
It's held
-
In the hands
-
Of someone
-
And in this passage
-
If it is a vessel
-
You can imagine it
-
Being filled
-
And the vessel
-
Then being passed
-
In the hands
-
Of someone
-
May receive
-
From that vessel
-
The contents
-
That are in it
-
Like people
-
Would receive
-
The music
-
That comes
-
From the instrument
-
And everyone
-
Here
-
Should realise
-
That we are
-
To place
-
Our hands
-
In God
-
The Christian
-
In particular
-
Should be
-
Of that mind
-
But even
-
The unbeliever
-
Is to understand
-
That when we
-
Place ourselves
-
In the hands
-
Of God
-
We fulfil
-
Our purpose
-
In glorifying
-
And glorifying
-
Him
-
This is what
-
Happens
-
When we put
-
Ourselves
-
In the hands
-
Of God
-
And we trust
-
Ourselves
-
Fully
-
To His
-
Way
-
It is there
-
Where the
-
Instrument
-
Produces
-
The best
-
Music
-
It is in
-
These hands
-
Where the
-
Vessel
-
Is filled
-
With all
-
The desires
-
Of life
-
That are
-
Lasting
-
And satisfying
-
Not the desires
-
Of the flesh
-
The desires
-
Of our lives
-
That we find
-
In Jesus
-
Christ
-
As He
-
Fills
-
That vessel
-
And those
-
Who place
-
Themselves
-
In the hands
-
Of God
-
Are honourable
-
To God
-
And give
-
Honour
-
To God
-
We are
-
Instruments
-
In the hands
-
Of God
-
And I would like
-
Us to look
-
At this passage
-
Of the two
-
Instruments
-
That God
-
Employs
-
For His
-
Glory
-
In this
-
Memorable
-
Record
-
Two
-
Individuals
-
That are
-
Used
-
In individual
-
Ways
-
Distinctly
-
Saul
-
Is forced
-
To stop
-
At first
-
Ananias
-
He is told
-
To arise
-
And go
-
Commands
-
Of God
-
Saul
-
Stop
-
And Ananias
-
Arise
-
So let
-
Let us
-
Consider
-
Saul
-
At first
-
Saul
-
Is brought
-
To a
-
Place
-
Where he
-
Must
-
Sit
-
And stop
-
Obviously
-
He was the
-
Man
-
That was
-
Hunting
-
Down the
-
Christians
-
He was the
-
Man who
-
Was slaughtering
-
The Christians
-
The next
-
Stop
-
Was
-
Damascus
-
In his
-
Mind
-
He had
-
The written
-
Order
-
Of the
-
High
-
Priest
-
Within
-
His
-
Pocket
-
He had
-
The soldiers
-
Accompanying
-
Him
-
On the
-
Way
-
And it
-
Seemed
-
Like there
-
Was nothing
-
That could
-
Be done
-
To stop
-
This
-
Advance
-
Of evil
-
But as
-
We proceed
-
In reading
-
In verse
-
Three
-
All of a
-
Sudden
-
We read
-
Of a light
-
From heaven
-
Flashing
-
Around him
-
That like
-
The flash
-
Of lightning
-
This light
-
That appeared
-
Before him
-
Says that he
-
Fell
-
But we
-
Better
-
Translated
-
That he
-
Collapsed
-
He could
-
Not stand
-
Before the
-
Presence of
-
This light
-
Because it
-
Was the
-
Presence of
-
Christ
-
Christ in
-
Whom all
-
Authority had
-
Been bestowed
-
The Christ
-
In whom you
-
Remember when
-
The people
-
Came to
-
Arrest him
-
They fell
-
Back when
-
He spoke
-
To them
-
In the
-
Garden of
-
Gethsemane
-
He could
-
Not stand
-
In his
-
Presence
-
Nor could
-
Paul
-
Saul
-
Nor can
-
We
-
Stand in
-
The presence
-
Of God
-
Or Jesus
-
Christ
-
If we're
-
Going to
-
Stand by
-
Ourselves
-
We
-
Cannot
-
And amidst
-
This light
-
That shone
-
There was
-
There was a
-
Voice
-
Saying
-
Saul
-
Saul
-
Why are
-
You
-
Persecuting
-
Me
-
Now
-
We
-
Would
-
Assume
-
Because of
-
The evil
-
Of his
-
Heart
-
That the
-
Anger of
-
Christ
-
Was kindled
-
Against
-
This man
-
It may
-
Have been
-
But it is
-
Not expressed
-
In these
-
Words
-
When Christ
-
Speaks to
-
Saul
-
For to
-
Call out
-
One man's
-
Name twice
-
Is a sign
-
Of affection
-
A loving
-
Concern
-
For the
-
Person
-
You may
-
Recall
-
Other
-
Instances
-
Where God
-
Spoke
-
And said
-
Samuel
-
Samuel
-
Martha
-
Martha
-
Simon
-
Simon
-
It is
-
Far
-
From an
-
Expression
-
Of anger
-
It was
-
That we
-
Called it
-
Compassion
-
This is
-
The compassion
-
Of Christ
-
Coming to
-
Saul
-
And he
-
Asks
-
Him
-
Why do
-
You
-
Pershing
-
And yet
-
He could
-
Not answer
-
That
-
He knew
-
The efficient
-
Answer
-
To give
-
To this
-
Authority
-
And although
-
He asked
-
Who spoke
-
By saying
-
Who are
-
You
-
It seems
-
That he
-
Already
-
Knew
-
It was
-
The Lord
-
And in
-
The response
-
He got
-
It was
-
Probably
-
The most
-
Fearful
-
Response
-
He could
-
Have
-
Asked
-
For
-
I
-
Am
-
Whom
-
You
-
Are
-
Persecuting
-
Jesus
-
Stopped
-
This
-
Man
-
And
-
Afterwards
-
After he
-
Had been
-
Stopped
-
He was
-
Given
-
Direction
-
To go
-
Into
-
The city
-
And wait
-
His
-
Eyes
-
Had
-
Been
-
Taken
-
From him
-
And he
-
Waited
-
For three
-
Days
-
Without
-
Seeing
-
And without
-
Eating
-
We are
-
Told
-
Can you
-
Imagine
-
What he
-
Was
-
Thinking
-
As one
-
Who was
-
Killing
-
Christians
-
And
-
Killing
-
Those
-
He
-
Lived
-
By
-
The
-
Name
-
Of
-
Jesus
-
Christ
-
Was
-
Forced
-
To
-
Stop
-
And
-
Wait
-
To
-
See
-
What
-
Christ
-
Would
-
Do
-
With
-
Him
-
He
-
Had
-
Been
-
Placed
-
Within
-
The
-
Hands
-
Of
-
But
-
He
-
Had
-
A
-
Vision
-
And
-
It's
-
Very
-
Important
-
Because
-
He
-
Didn't
-
Get
-
That
-
Vision
-
He
-
Would
-
Have
-
Been
-
Left
-
To
-
His
-
Own
-
Reasoning
-
And
-
His
-
Own
-
Understanding
-
And
-
For
-
All
-
That
-
He
-
Had
-
Done
-
To
-
The
-
People
-
Of
-
Christ
-
And
-
The
-
Followers
-
Of
-
His
-
Way
-
I
-
Think
-
He
-
Would
-
Have
-
Gone
-
Mad
-
And
-
He
-
Would
-
Have
-
Been
-
In
-
Deep
-
Depression
-
Awaiting
-
How
-
Christ
-
Would
-
Repay
-
What
-
He
-
Had
-
Done
-
To
-
His
-
People
-
But
-
Because
-
He
-
Had
-
The
-
Vision
-
He
-
Had
-
A
-
Hope
-
Of
-
Followers
-
And
-
A
-
Hope
-
From
-
Despair
-
And
-
With
-
His
-
Sight
-
Remused
-
Physically
-
I
-
Believe
-
He
-
Turned
-
To
-
Look
-
Within
-
Himself
-
In
-
These
-
Three
-
Days
-
It
-
Is
-
Good
-
For
-
Us
-
To
-
Do
-
That
-
At
-
Times
-
To
-
Turn
-
And
-
Stop
-
And
-
Look
-
Within
-
Our
-
Hearts
-
And
-
Who
-
We
-
Are
-
Before
-
God
-
Saul
-
Realized
-
Whose
-
Hands
-
He
-
Was
-
In
-
Prior
-
He
-
Realized
-
He
-
Was
-
In
-
The
-
Hands
-
Of
-
Enemy
-
The
-
Evil
-
One
-
Who
-
Had
-
Directed
-
Him
-
And
-
Now
-
Before
-
The
-
Presence
-
Of
-
Christ
-
That
-
Vessel
-
Was
-
Surely
-
Empty
-
In
-
His
-
Eyes
-
All
-
That
-
He
-
Had
-
Done
-
Amounted
-
To
-
Nothing
-
Before
-
The
-
Presence
-
Of
-
Christ
-
But
-
The
-
Lord
-
Was
-
Set
-
To
-
Fulfill
-
With
-
The
-
Abundance
-
Of
-
His
-
Compassionate
-
Love
-
His
-
Mercy
-
And
-
His
-
Grace
-
And
-
See
-
Here
-
In
-
This
-
Point
-
In
-
The
-
Great
-
Conversion
-
Of
-
Saul
-
Although

He
-
Lived
-
A
-
Life
-
Turned
-
And
-
Directed

Against

God
-
Against

Jesus

Christ

Christ

Died

For

And

Though

He

Would

Have

Expected

Death

By

His

Own

Reasoning

And

Expected

Punishment

He

The

Inheritance

That

Had

Aside

Even

For

Him

And

Though

I

Am

Fully

Persuaded
-
That

He

Knew

Himself

To

Die

He

Knew

He

Was

Unworthy

Of

All

Riches

This

He

Has

He

Asks

Of

Us

Do

What

We

Say

In

You

Nothing

A

Reason

Why

We

Never

Trusted

In

Him
-
The

Bible
-
Tells

Us

That

All

We

Will

Do
-
Is
-
Bow
-
The

Knee
-
Fall

Before

Him

And

Confess

That

He

Lord

So

We

Are

Told

In

His

Grace

To

Stop

And

Consider
-
Who

We

Are

Before

Him

This

Morning
-
What

Is

Our

Before

Him
-
Christ

Is

One

Who

Is

Willing

To

Fulfill
-
It

I
-
Believe
-
Saul
-
Sat
-
In
-
These
-
Moments
-
Pouring
-
Out
-
His
-
Heart
-
Pressing
-
All
-
His
-
Wrong
-
Doing
-
And
-
The
-
Foolishness
-
Of
-
His
-
Ways
-
By
-
Not
-
Being
-
In
-
The
-
Hands
-
Of
-
Christ
-
Asking
-
For
-
The
-
For
-
All
-
That
-
He
-
Had
-
Done
-
But
-
We
-
Are
-
Told
-
That
-
Christ
-
Said
-
He
-
Was
-
Praying
-
Christ
-
Listened
-
To
-
His
-
Prayer
-
Christ
-
Listened
-
To
-
Everything
-
That
-
He
-
Said
-
And
-
Forgave
-
Him
-
Of
-
The
-
Way
-
In
-
Which
-
He
-
Had
-
Lived
-
His
-
Life
-
He
-
Saul
-
He
-
Did
-
Not
-
Know
-
How
-
Instrumental
-
He
-
Would
-
Be
-
In
-
The
-
Future
-
As
-
An
-
Instrument
-
Of
-
God
-
But
-
He
-
Placed
-
Himself
-
In
-
His
-
Hands
-
And
-
Trusted
-
Him
-
To
-
His
-
Way
-
And
-
It
-
Is
-
A
-
Place
-
Where
-
We
-
All
-
Must
-
Come
-
We
-
Place
-
Ourselves
-
In
-
The
-
Hand
-
Of
-
God
-
And
-
We
-
Find
-
There
-
The
-
Purpose
-
Of
-
Our
-
Lives
-
And
-
We
-
Ask
-
That
-
As
-
We
-
Do
-
As
-
His
-
Vessels
-
He
-
Will
-
Fill
-
Us
-
To
-
Overflowing
-
Saul
-
Had
-
To
-
Stop
-
In
-
Christ
-
We
-
Have
-
The
-
Power
-
To
-
Be
-
Saved
-
But
-
He
-
Does
-
Not
-
Save
-
The
-
Person
-
To
-
Stop
-
He
-
Saves
-
The
-
Person
-
To
-
Go
-
Let
-
Us
-
Turn
-
To
-
Ananias
-
And
-
Look
-
At
-
The
-
Account
-
Of
-
Ananias
-
He
-
Is
-
Told
-
To
-
Arise
-
Ananias
-
Is
-
Introduced
-
To
-
Us
-
In
-
Verse
-
10
-
And
-
In
-
All
-
Understand
-
He
-
Is
-
A
-
Mature
-
Christian
-
The
-
Lord
-
Also
-
Spoke
-
With
-
Him
-
But
-
It
-
Is
-
Interesting
-
To
-
Note
-
That
-
He
-
Only
-
Addressed
-
Him
-
In
-
Name
-
Once
-
I
-
Do
-
Not
-
Have
-
An
-
Answer
-
For
-
That
-
But
-
It
-
Is
-
Worth
-
Noting
-
That
-
Ananias
-
Was
-
Not
-
An
-
Instrument
-
Of
-
Paul's
-
Conversion
-
But
-
He
-
Assured
-
Encouragement
-
That
-
These
-
People
-
Whom
-
He
-
Persecuted
-
In
-
In
-
Paul's
-
Eyes
-
The
-
Persons
-
Who
-
He
-
Murdered
-
Were
-
Undoubtedly
-
Of
-
Christ
-
Because
-
Ananias
-
Came
-
To
-
Him
-
With
-
The
-
Vision
-
That
-
He
-
Had
-
From
-
God
-
Confirming
-
That
-
Christ
-
Was
-
In
-
This
-
Man
-
Christ
-
Was
-
Speaking
-
To
-
Ananias
-
And
-
Paul
-
Saul
-
Knew
-
The
-
Extent
-
There
-
And
-
Then
-
Of
-
The
-
People
-
To
-
Whom
-
He
-
Had
-
Killed
-
And
-
To
-
The
-
Extent
-
Of
-
His
-
Persecution
-
Which
-
Was
-
Of
-
Christ
-
Himself
-
As
-
Jesus
-
Said
-
To
-
The
-
Lord
-
Spoke
-
To
-
Ananias
-
And
-
He
-
Said
-
Here
-
I
-
Am
-
Essentially
-
Ananias
-
Is
-
Saying
-
Lord
-
Yes
-
I
-
Am
-
Ready
-
For
-
You
-
What
-
You
-
Want
-
To
-
Do
-
With
-
Me
-
And
-
We

Read
-
There
-
From
-
Verse

11
-
Down
-
To
-
Verse
-
Mark
-
13
-
What
-
Was
-
Said
-
And
-
The

Lord
-
Said
-
To
-
him
-
Rise
-
And
-
Go
-
To
-
The
-
Street
-
Called
-
Straight
-
And
-
To

The

House
-
Of

Judas
-
And
-
Look
-
For
-
A
-
Man
-
Of
-
Tarsus
-
Named
-
Saul
-
For
-
Behold
-
He
-
Is
-
Praying
-
And
-
He
-
Has
-
Seen
-
A
-
Vision
-
A
-
Man
-
Named
-
Ananias
-
Come
-
To
-
Lay
-
His
-
Hands
-
On
-
Him
-
So
-
That
-
He
-
May
-
Regain
-
His
-
Sight
-
Now
-
You
-
Can
-
Just
-
Imagine
-
After
-
Hearing
-
All
-
These
-
Words
-
I
-
Think
-
He
-
Probably
-
Only
-
Heard
-
A
-
Man
-
Of
-
Tarsus
-
Named
-
Saul
-
At
-
Which
-
He
-
Would
-
Have
-
Recoiled
-
This
-
Infamous
-
Man
-
Of
-
Great
-
Reputation
-
Responds
-
You
-
Can't
-
Be
-
Serious
-
That
-
I
-
Need
-
To
-
Go
-
And
-
See
-
This
-
Man
-
He
-
Has
-
Authority
-
From
-
The
-
Chief
-
Priest
-
To
-
Bind
-
Everyone
-
Who
-
Calls
-
On
-
Your

Name
-
It
-
Would
-
Be
-
Certain
-
Imprisonment
-
For
-
Me
-
Murder
-
To
-
Go
-
To
-
Meet
-
This
-
Man
-
But
-
The
-
Lord's
-
Response
-
Is
-
To
-
Him
-
That
-
He
-
Is
-
No
-
Longer
-
A
-
Man
-
That
-
Binds
-
The
-
Name
-
Of
-
The
-
Lord
-
In
-
Verse
-
15
-
He
-
Is
-
Told
-
That
-
He
-
Is
-
A
-
Person
-
That
-
Will
-
Carry
-
My
-
Name
-
Although
-
Ananias
-
He
-
Shows
-
Resistance
-
To
-
The
-
Order
-
Of
-
Christ
-
And
-
He
-
Questions
-
God
-
If
-
This
-
Is
-
Right
-
Or

Wrong
-
Is
-
This
-
Is
-
Something
-
That
-
We
-
Are
-
Very
-
Good
-
At
-
As
-
Mature
-
Christians
-
When
-
We
-
Feel
-
Pushed
-
Out
-
Of
-
Our
-
Comfort
-
Zones
-
We
-
Tend
-
To
-
Question
-
Is
-
It
-
Right
-
Should
-
I
-
Go
-
But
-
The

Lord

Has

A

Plan
-
For

Each

Of

Us
-
And

Regardless

Of

How

He

Thought

Saul

Already

Had

The

Vision

The

Had

The

Way

Ananias

Arise

And

Go

With

My

Message

And

Where
-
The

Lord's

Name
-
Was

Previously

Been

Bound

By

This
-
Man
-
It
-
Was
-
To
-
Be
-
Carried
-
Out
-
Across
-
The

Nations
-
And
-
This
-
Is
-
A
-
Task
-
Not
-
Just
-
Of
-
Saul
-
But
-
Of
-
The
-
Instruments
-
And
-
Roles
-
Of
-
The
-
Lord
-
To
-
Glorify
-
His

Name
-
To

Carry

The

Riches
-
Of

That

Person

Out

Into

The

World
-
Though

Paul
-
Had
-
A
-
Weighty
-
Responsibility
-
Particularly
-
Placed

On

Him
-
We

Read it
-
There

In

Verse

15

To

Carry

My

Name
-
Before
-
The

Gentiles
-
The

Kings

And
-
The

Children

Of

Also

It

Significant

Consequences

For

I

Him

How

Much

He

For

The

Of

My

Name

The

Lord

Has

A

For

Each

Of

Surprise

Us

To

Where

Us

He

Has

Planned

At

Different

Times

Of

Lives

There

Where

We

Must

Stop

And

Reflect

There

Are

Times

We

Must

Follow

His

Command

And

Go

We

As

A

As

His

Who

Placed

Ourselves

In

Privileged

To

Have

Received

Such

Riches

Poured

Into

We

Are

Not

To

Full

Of

This

The

Vessel

To

The

Among

People

So

That

They

Taste

Of

The

The

Ornament

To

Be

Placed

And

Used

In

The

Of

We

Are

Instruments

To

Bring

Glory

To

The

Of

Not

To

Ourselves

We

Are

Instruments

In

His

Saul
-
As

An

Paid

The

Ultimate

Price

In

Dine
-
That

Vessel

Was

As

A

As

A

Offering

To

But

According

To

Tradition

Ananias

Also

Paid

The

Ultimate

Time

Apparently

The

Roman

Governor

Licinus

Arrested

Not

Know

The
