1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:05,800
Please stand, if you're able for
the reading of God's word, this 

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:12,300
is the lengthy reading. 
Recording most of Exodus 32 from

3
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:16,000
many of you are, very familiar 
text, but I promise you there's 

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
things in here that you likely 
have never seen this. 

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,800
I believe is Moses's finest 
hour. 

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,700
What he does is he comes off the
mountain and confronts. 

7
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:35,200
The people sin is truly 
remarkable. 

8
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:40,900
So, as I read it, I want you to 
listen carefully to the sounds 

9
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:44,500
of the Gospel, the sounds of 
good news. 

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,100
As I read this, listen carefully
to the conversations that take 

11
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:55,700
place between God and Moses, the
people of God and Aaron Moses 

12
00:00:55,700 --> 00:01:00,300
and The people of God. 
And then once again back to God 

13
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,500
and Moses, Exodus 32 12 24 and 
30 to 35. 

14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,700
When the people saw that Moses 
delayed to come down from the 

15
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:13,500
mountain, the people gathered 
themselves together to Aaron and

16
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:18,600
said to him up, make us Gods who
shall go before us. 

17
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:23,100
As for this Moses, the man who 
brought us up out of the land of

18
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:25,400
Egypt. 
We do not know what has 

19
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,900
happened. 
What has become of him. 

20
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:31,900
So Aaron said to them, take off 
the rings of gold that are in 

21
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:35,700
the ears of your wives, your 
sons and your daughters, and 

22
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,800
bring them to me. 
So, all the people took off the 

23
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,800
rings of gold that were in their
ears and brought them to Aaron 

24
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,200
and he received the gold from 
their hand and fashioned it with

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,200
a graving tool and made a golden
calf. 

26
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,800
And they said, these are your 
God's o Israel. 

27
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,600
Who brought you up out of the 
land of Egypt? 

28
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,000
When Aaron saw this, he built an
altar before it and Aaron made a

29
00:02:00,008 --> 00:02:04,600
proclamation and said tomorrow 
she'll be a feast to the Lord 

30
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,500
and they rose up early the next 
day and offered burnt offerings 

31
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:12,000
and brought peace offerings and 
the people sat down to eat and 

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,900
drink and Rose up to play. 
The Lord said to Moses, go down 

33
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:20,000
for your people, whom you 
brought up out of the land of 

34
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,800
Egypt have corrupted themselves,
they have turned aside quickly 

35
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,600
out of the way. 
That I commanded them, they have

36
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,000
made for themselves a golden 
calf and have worshipped it and 

37
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,400
sacrificed to it and said these 
are your God's o Israel, who 

38
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,600
brought you up out of the land 
of Egypt. 

39
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:42,700
And the Lord said to Moses, I 
have seen this people and behold

40
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,400
it is a stiff-necked people. 
Now, therefore let me alone that

41
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,200
my wrath be burned hot against 
them and I may consume them in 

42
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,000
order that I may make a great 
nation of you, but Moses 

43
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,300
implored, the Lord his God and 
said, O Lord. 

44
00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:02,900
Why does your Rathburn hot 
against your people whom you 

45
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:06,100
have brought out of the land of 
Egypt with great power and with 

46
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:09,300
a mighty hand? 
Why should the Egyptians say 

47
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:12,000
with evil intent? 
Did he bring them out to kill 

48
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,800
them in the mountains and to 
consume them from the face of 

49
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,600
the Earth. 
Turn from your burning anger and

50
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,200
relent from This Disaster 
against your people, remember, 

51
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,600
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your
servants to whom you swore. 

52
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:29,800
Your own self and said to them, 
I will multiply your off stream 

53
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Offspring as the stars of heaven
and all this land that I promise

54
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,300
I will give to your Offspring 
and they shall inherit it 

55
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:40,200
forever and the Lord relented 
from the disaster that he had 

56
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,000
spoken to Bringing on his 
people. 

57
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,900
Then Moses turned and went down 
from the mountain with two 

58
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:49,400
tablets of the testimony in his 
hand tablets that were written 

59
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,100
on both sides on the front. 
And on the back they were 

60
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:55,800
written. 
The tablets were the work of of 

61
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,200
God. 
And the writing was the writing 

62
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,700
of God, engraved on the tablets 
when Joshua heard the noise of 

63
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:06,400
the people as they shouted. 
He said to Moses there is a 

64
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,500
noise of War and the camp but he
said it is not the sound of 

65
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:15,400
shouting for victory or the 
sound of the Cry of defeat but 

66
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,500
the sound of singing that I hear
and as soon as he came near the 

67
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:23,800
camp and saw the calf and the 
dancing Moses his anger burned 

68
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,900
hot and he threw the Tablets out
of his hand and broke them at 

69
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:31,300
the foot of the mountain, he 
took the calf that they had made

70
00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:35,300
and burned it with fire and 
ground it to powder and scoured.

71
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:38,400
Scattered it on the water and 
made the people of Israel. 

72
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,600
Drink it and Moses said to 
Aaron, what did this people do 

73
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,500
to you? 
That you have brought such a 

74
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:48,900
great sin upon them and Aaron 
said let not the anger of my 

75
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:51,600
Lord burned hot. 
You know, the people that they 

76
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,000
are set on evil for they said to
me make us Gods who She'll go 

77
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,500
before us as for this Moses, the
man who brought us up out of the

78
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:02,000
land of Egypt. 
We do not know what has become 

79
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,100
of him. 
So I said to them, let any who 

80
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:08,200
have gold take it off. 
So they gave it to me and I 

81
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:14,300
threw it into the fire and out. 
Came this calf The next day, 

82
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,600
Moses said to the people, you 
have sinned, a great sin. 

83
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:22,500
And now I will go up to the 
Lord, perhaps I can make 

84
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:26,100
atonement for your sin. 
So Moses returned to the Lord 

85
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:30,600
and said, alas, this people has 
sinned, a great sin, they have 

86
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,500
made for themselves gods of 
gold. 

87
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:40,000
But now if you will forgive 
their sin But if not, please 

88
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,200
blot me out of your book that 
you have written. 

89
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:47,800
But the Lord said to Moses, 
Whoever has sinned against me, I

90
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,900
will blot out of my book. 
But now go leave the people to 

91
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:55,600
the place about which I have 
spoken to you behold, my angel 

92
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,800
should go before you. 
Nevertheless in the day when I 

93
00:05:58,808 --> 00:06:01,500
visit I will visit their sin 
upon them. 

94
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:05,200
Then the Lord sent a plague upon
the people because they had made

95
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,100
the calf the one That Aaron 
made. 

96
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:12,100
This is the word of the Lord. 
Thanks, be to God. 

97
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:19,100
Please be seated this morning as
we moved through the text. 

98
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:26,100
I want to focus on three things.
I want to focus on the anatomy 

99
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:32,100
of idolatry. 
The confrontation confronting 

100
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:38,100
idolatry and atonement for sin, 
the anatomy of idolatry 

101
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,800
confronting idolatry and the 
atonement for sin. 

102
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,500
They had not been far removed 
from hearing the Ten 

103
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:52,000
Commandments. 
And when we look at the first 

104
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,400
few verses in chapter 32, we see
the way idolatry forms. 

105
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,300
Whenever there is a delay 
according to us, always not God.

106
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:11,200
God is never delayed. 
God does all things according to

107
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,400
his perfect timing a day to God 
is like a thousand years and a 

108
00:07:15,407 --> 00:07:19,400
thousand years like a day, but 
we feel the delay. 

109
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,800
I mean, we long for the day when
Christ will return and we don't 

110
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,700
know when that will be. 
We just know that he will 

111
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:27,800
return. 
He will return. 

112
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,700
When the father sends him, the 
perfect will of God. 

113
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,600
God, and it may be very soon. 
Some of you think it is we might

114
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,800
still be in the days of the 
early church, we just don't 

115
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,600
know. 
I hope not. 

116
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,100
But God is never delayed, 
according to God, but we feel 

117
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,000
the delay and when we feel the 
delay dangerous, things can 

118
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,600
happen. 
And you here you see the anatomy

119
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,100
of idolatry how it forms look 
with me verse 1. 

120
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,100
When the people saw that Moses 
delayed to come down from the 

121
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:03,500
mountain, by the way, he never 
said, how long he would be up 

122
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:05,500
there. 
But he had been up there far 

123
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:07,700
longer than he'd ever been. 
This was not routine. 

124
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:11,700
He is their leader and now he's 
not come down, so the anatomy 

125
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:14,400
Delay. 
Forms. 

126
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,800
This anatomy of idolatry. 
You can see how it works. 

127
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,800
Soon, a god, less Gathering 
forms. 

128
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,100
And that Godless Gathering 
forms. 

129
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:28,500
Because in the mind of one 
person, and then two, and then 

130
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:31,300
many and remember, there's well 
over a million, probably over 

131
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:34,000
two, maybe even three million 
people here, who are the people 

132
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,500
of Israel. 
Once that forms and the Godless 

133
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:40,799
Gathering happens. 
People begin to say things that 

134
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:44,700
showed that they're becoming 
delusional, literally 

135
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:47,000
delusional, it happens all the 
time. 

136
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,100
One of our first missionaries, 
has a saying that I love. 

137
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:54,700
He says, when we faced fears 
when we Face anxiety, we are 

138
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:58,600
tempted to close our eyes and 
close our ears, and our mind 

139
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,500
goes crazy. 
So, while the people of Israel 

140
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:06,000
are waiting from Moses to come 
down from the mountain, this 

141
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,700
Godless Gathering of people, 
they're closing their eyes, 

142
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:11,500
they're closing their ears, and 
their mind is going crazy. 

143
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:14,200
And one by one, they began to 
talk to one another. 

144
00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:20,300
And suddenly there is a movement
and it's a Godless Movement by 

145
00:09:20,300 --> 00:09:23,500
God's people and we can all be a
part of him. 

146
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,200
It can swell up in a moment when
suddenly while you feel the 

147
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,100
delay while you're waiting, 
while you're expecting something

148
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:35,800
to happen, you take matters into
your own hands and that's what 

149
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,300
they did. 
They speak from a place of 

150
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:44,400
tremendously, tremendous 
delusion and instead of going to

151
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,800
Aaron who is the leader. 
Now, while Moses on the mountain

152
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,500
and asking him, what do you 
hear, what do you know where? 

153
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:56,800
As our leader gone, they come 
with demands. 

154
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,800
Their delusion leads to demands 
Their Fear, their anxiety 

155
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:06,300
looking outside looking in, and 
they come to Aaron. 

156
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,300
And what do they say? 
Look with me up, make us Gods 

157
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:15,300
who shall go before us. 
As for this Moses, the man who 

158
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:17,500
brought us up out of the land of
Egypt. 

159
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:23,200
We do not know what has become 
of him up to the priest up. 

160
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:30,100
Make us gods, Now, Aaron, we're 
going to get to him more in a 

161
00:10:30,108 --> 00:10:34,500
minute. 
Has the opportunity here to say,

162
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:43,100
stop enough, you are a Godless 
Gathering, you are rejecting the

163
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:47,400
truth that God has given us. 
And it wasn't that long ago. 

164
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,800
The Godless Gathering built out 
of this delusion, people closing

165
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,700
their eyes closing, their ears, 
their minds. 

166
00:10:55,700 --> 00:11:01,600
Going crazy causes them. 
To ask Aaron to do something, 

167
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
which would cause them to break 
the first and the second 

168
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,800
commandments that God had given.
You have are to have no other 

169
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,100
gods before me, and you shall 
not make for yourself a carved 

170
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:17,400
image. 
They heard it. 

171
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:22,500
They knew it more than that. 
They said all of them. 

172
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:29,900
We will obey all of it. 
Aaron responds. 

173
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:38,600
To release to the request. 
He collects the goals were given

174
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,900
great detail as to what he did. 
And we need that. 

175
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,500
Says in verse to take off the 
rings of gold that are in the 

176
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:49,200
ears of your wives, your son's, 
your daughters, and bring them 

177
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,000
to me. 
So picture that listen to that 

178
00:11:53,900 --> 00:11:57,900
all this jewelry coming verse 3.
So, all the people took off the 

179
00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:00,500
rings of gold that were in their
ears and brought them to Aaron. 

180
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,900
He received them picture, that 
so many moments where he could 

181
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:09,200
have said, what am I doing? 
Why am I compromising? 

182
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,200
Why am I about to lead this 
people into this great sin? 

183
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,200
The people of God, But he 
doesn't. 

184
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:21,600
He uses his own hands to craft a
golden calf. 

185
00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:26,500
Why? 
Because in this moment that's 

186
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:31,600
what made sense to him. 
In the moment when the Godless 

187
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,800
Gathering began to talk about 
what to do asking the priest to 

188
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,600
make a God for them and I do for
them, that's what made sense to 

189
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,700
them. 
You can take Israel out of 

190
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:49,000
Egypt, but it's very hard to 
take Egypt out of Israel in for 

191
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,200
all the years that they serve 
their as slaves. 

192
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,900
This is what they saw. 
They saw these bulls and these 

193
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
calves that were being 
worshipped. 

194
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,900
They believe there must might be
some power in those things. 

195
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,800
And so they close their eyes. 
They close their ears Moses was 

196
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,600
taking too long. 
God was taking too long, and 

197
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,300
they did the unthinkable. 
Aaron did the unthinkable? 

198
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:19,500
He made this calf with his own 
hands. 

199
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,100
He took matters into his own 
hands and then he built an altar

200
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:29,500
for which they could have a 
feast and offer their praise. 

201
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,200
How does it happen? 
Will you know how it happens? 

202
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,900
Just a few minutes ago. 
You and I sing. 

203
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:50,100
Take my love, my Lord, I pour it
thy feet, its treasure store, 

204
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:58,000
take myself and I will be ever 
only all for thee, ever only, 

205
00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:02,200
all for thee and I bet you sang 
it. 

206
00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:07,900
And I bet when you sang it you 
really meant it but you and I 

207
00:14:07,900 --> 00:14:11,700
know we can use the exact same 
confession of sin next Sunday. 

208
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,200
Or actually even later this 
Sunday and it would still be 

209
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:22,700
appropriate because like, the 
people of Israel, we are so 

210
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:28,600
quick to forget God and to 
worship idols. 

211
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:34,600
One of my favorite writers is a 
w pink. 

212
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,600
Here's how he defines an idol. 
He defines an idol as anything, 

213
00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:48,800
which displaces God in my heart.
It may be something, which is 

214
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:55,400
quite harmless and itself. 
Yes, yet if it absorbs me, If it

215
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,000
be given the first place in my 
affections and thoughts, it 

216
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,200
becomes an idol, it may be my 
business, a loved one or my 

217
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,900
service for Christ. 
Anyone or anything which comes 

218
00:15:11,900 --> 00:15:18,200
into competition for the with 
the Lord's ruling me is an idol.

219
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:29,600
And friends, every one of us. 
Have multiple Idols that compete

220
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:35,800
for the place that belongs only 
to God and the Temptation is for

221
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:42,300
us to not take them seriously. 
To not see them as God sees 

222
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:44,000
them. 
As Moses saw them, even as they 

223
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,500
spoke of him, ask the holy 
spirit because you can't see 

224
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:52,600
this on your own. 
What are the idols in your life?

225
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:56,300
Is it work? 
Is it your children? 

226
00:15:57,100 --> 00:16:02,500
Their success, their happiness. 
Is it money and the security 

227
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:07,900
that money supplies is it? 
You're standing in the church, 

228
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,000
your reputation. 
What is it? 

229
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:17,000
What are you tempted to turn to 
when it seems like God is taking

230
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,600
too long. 
What are you vulnerable neural 

231
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,700
to trust in when he seems to be 
staying up on the mountain. 

232
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,300
Where do you go? 
When God's not moving as fast as

233
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:35,500
you want him to? 
That's the anatomy of idolatry. 

234
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,900
It's on all of us. 
So now let's look at confronting

235
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:41,300
idolatry. 
This is amazing. 

236
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,800
Let's turn from the 
conversation. 

237
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,100
That took place between Aaron 
and the people. 

238
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:51,300
And then between Moses and Aaron
will come back to in a minute. 

239
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:53,400
But now let's go to the 
conversation between God and 

240
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,700
Moses. 
First, we see the righteous 

241
00:16:57,700 --> 00:17:03,100
anger that exists. 47. 
The Lord said to Moses, go down 

242
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:05,300
for your people, whom you 
brought up out of the land of 

243
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:09,900
Egypt have corrupted themselves.
They have turned aside quickly 

244
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:12,200
out of the way that I commanded 
them. 

245
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,900
He describes what we have 
already heard that they've done.

246
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,800
Moses is on the mountain, still 
up on the mountain, and he is 

247
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,800
talking to God, the same God 
that we are talking to and 

248
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,500
worshiping today, the same one, 
father son, Holy Spirit. 

249
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:33,100
Moses is about to do something 
really incredible. 

250
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,500
He's about to intercede for the 
people of Israel. 

251
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,800
He is about to confront god with
what he thinks is the wrong 

252
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,300
plan. 
Compare that to Aaron, who 

253
00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:49,800
wouldn't confront the people who
are just people who wouldn't say

254
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,800
no, please, no stop. 
Don't this is wrong. 

255
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:58,200
Or even I'll have no part of it,
make your own calf, Moses. 

256
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,500
Here's what God plans to do and 
what is it? 

257
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:05,000
God plans to do. 
Look with me in verse 10 now. 

258
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,300
Therefore, God speaking, let me 
alone that my wrath may burn hot

259
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:16,100
against them and I may consume 
them in order that I may make a 

260
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:19,300
great nation of you. 
What is God saying? 

261
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,500
I'm going to wipe out not the 
whole earth, like I did with 

262
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:29,500
Noah, but the people that I let 
out of Israel and I'm going to 

263
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:33,000
start over with you and make a 
great nation of you. 

264
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,200
Moses hears this. 
And here's his response. 

265
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:43,100
Prayer is important. 
It's powerful Moses, implored 

266
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:45,000
the Lord his God and said, O 
Lord. 

267
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:47,700
Why does your Rathburn hot 
against your people, whom you 

268
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:50,600
brought out of the land of 
Egypt, with great power and with

269
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,700
a mighty hand? 
Why should the Egyptians Say? 

270
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:56,900
And What Moses is doing now, 
saying Protect Your Great Name? 

271
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,300
Remember your promises, one of 
the ways. 

272
00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:03,800
You see the Promise remembered, 
as in verse 13 and it's so easy.

273
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:06,700
Easy to miss this. 
But here's what we read, 

274
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:10,400
remember, Moses pleading with 
the Lord, remember, Abraham, 

275
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,600
Isaac. 
And would you expect to see as 

276
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:18,000
the name, Jacob, remember, 
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but 

277
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,600
that's not Moses, does he uses 
Jacobs new name, Israel? 

278
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,700
Which is the Covenant promise 
name. 

279
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:29,600
That's amazing. 
Remember the servants to whom 

280
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,200
you swore by your own self and 
said to them, I will multiply 

281
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,900
your Offspring as the stars of 
heaven and all this land that I 

282
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:40,100
promise I will give to your 
Offspring and they shall inherit

283
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:44,800
it forever and the Lord relented
from the disaster that he'd 

284
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,600
spoke of bringing on his people.
God is sovereign. 

285
00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:53,300
He ordains the means, as well as
the ends. 

286
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:57,700
And one of the means here was 
that Moses and talking to God 

287
00:19:57,900 --> 00:20:00,700
would play the role of 
intercessor, he would move 

288
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:05,100
between the people who have been
obedient disobedient Unfaithful 

289
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:09,200
and beg God's mercy, and the 
Lord will enter it. 

290
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,600
Now Moses goes down. 
If he moves down the mountain, 

291
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,900
he runs into Joshua. 
Remember Joshua went halfway up.

292
00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:21,900
Joshua was a general. 
He's in the military. 

293
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:27,500
Remember the sounds we listen 
for the sounds. 

294
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,400
We're told that they hear a 
sound. 

295
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,500
What is it? 
They don't know verse 17 when 

296
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:39,500
Joshua heard the noise of the 
people, as they shouted. 

297
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:44,800
He said to Moses, there's a 
noise of war in the camp. but he

298
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,400
said it is not the sound of 
shouting for victory or the 

299
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,400
sound of the Cry of defeat, but 
the sound of singing that I hear

300
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:57,900
What were they singing? 
the last time we were familiar 

301
00:20:57,900 --> 00:21:00,600
with their singing was when they
lifted their voices and Triumph 

302
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:07,700
across the Red Sea, What type of
lyric now was coming from their 

303
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:11,300
lips. 
Verse 19 is soon as he came near

304
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:16,900
the camp and saw the calf and 
the dancing Moses anger burn 

305
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:20,300
hot. 
And he threw the tablets out of 

306
00:21:20,308 --> 00:21:23,400
his hand and broke them at the 
foot of the mountain. 

307
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,100
What a graphic scene. 
First. 

308
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:36,500
He is carrying the word of God. 
This is important. 

309
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:42,300
Verse 15, it says Moses turned 
and went down from the mountain 

310
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:45,100
with the two tablets of the 
testimony in his hand. 

311
00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:51,300
These had never been created. 
While Moses was up In some form 

312
00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:54,000
of delay. 
According to the people, God was

313
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,500
giving him these tablets. 
The tablets of the testimony 

314
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:00,900
were in his hands, they were 
written on both sides on the 

315
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:02,200
front. 
And on the back they were 

316
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,100
written. 
The tablets were the work of 

317
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:07,500
God. 
And the writing was the writing 

318
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:17,500
of God, engraved on the tablets.
This word, these tablets it's 

319
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:25,600
not man's word about God. 
It's not Moses's word about God.

320
00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:33,700
It is God's word about himself. 
When you are confronted with 

321
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:40,500
evil all over this world were 
depraved people who have closed 

322
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:43,700
their eyes and close their ears,
and their minds have gone crazy.

323
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,500
And they're promoting something 
that is against God's design, 

324
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:52,800
whether it has to do with human 
sexuality, or gender or any 

325
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,200
other issue. 
That is contrary to what God's 

326
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,900
word says, you as a Christian 
have the Bible and the Bible is 

327
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:09,000
never man's word about God. 
It's God's word about himself 

328
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:15,000
and all of it. 
Is god-breathed useful for 

329
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,900
teaching, rebuking correcting 
and training in righteousness. 

330
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:27,400
Peter says it this way, knowing 
this, first of all, that no 

331
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,500
prophecy of scripture comes from
someone's own interpretation, 

332
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:35,100
for no prophecy was ever 
produced by the will of, man, 

333
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,400
but men spoke from God as they 
were carried Along by the Holy 

334
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:48,400
Spirit, you have everything you 
need if you know his word, and 

335
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,500
because of the war that we have 
been in from the beginning, 

336
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:56,600
because of the DraStic ways were
confronted with it constantly. 

337
00:23:57,100 --> 00:24:00,400
We need to know his word. 
You need to be equipped. 

338
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,900
We want to help you. 
But it's always God's word about

339
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:10,000
himself, not man's. 
I want to show you a few more 

340
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
things. 
I want to show you how not to 

341
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,800
repent. 
Repent means to turn. 

342
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:29,900
Moses has gone down. 
And what he sees breaks his 

343
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:32,900
heart. 
He's offended. 

344
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,700
He's angry and his anger is 
righteous. 

345
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:38,700
There will be other times in the
Bible where his anger is not 

346
00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:41,000
righteous and he will be 
punished. 

347
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,300
So severe will be the wrath of 
God that he will not be able to 

348
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:49,200
enter into the promised land, 
but this righteousness This is 

349
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:54,500
anger, that is righteous. 
He speaks to the people, it 

350
00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:58,200
tells us that he destroys the 
golden calf. 

351
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:01,500
Just like he destroyed the 
tablets. 

352
00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:05,900
He throws the tablets down as a 
metaphor that you have broken, 

353
00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:08,900
God's word. 
God's word is broken before them

354
00:25:08,900 --> 00:25:11,300
shattered. 
Now, he takes the golden calf. 

355
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:17,900
He destroys it. 
He puts it in the water and 

356
00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:22,400
makes the people drink it. 
This is his finest hour. 

357
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:27,700
He is leading the people to see 
The Horde that they have 

358
00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:33,200
created. 
We do not know exactly why he 

359
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:39,800
had them drink. 
This powder on the water. 

360
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:48,600
Augustine tells this that it was
because he was making them drink

361
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,500
down. 
Their sin. 

362
00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:57,400
Shows how the people had to 
swallow their ungodliness. 

363
00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:01,600
But what I want to do is focus 
in our remaining time. 

364
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,000
On Aaron. 
Philip riken's, president of 

365
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,200
Wheaton was the longtime pastor 
of Trinity Presbyterian Church 

366
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,600
where James Boyce preached? 
He says there's three things 

367
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,200
that we learn from how Aaron 
failed to repent. 

368
00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:24,200
First is this He tells his 
accuser. 

369
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,100
To back off verse 21. 
Moses said to Aaron, what did 

370
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:33,000
this people do to you? 
That you have brought such a 

371
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,200
great sin? 
Upon them for 22. 

372
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,900
Aaron said, let not the anger of
my Lord burn hot back off. 

373
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:46,600
In my position, I have the 
privilege and I mean this of 

374
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,800
helping people repent. 
When they come to a place in 

375
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,200
their life, where they know, and
it's all of us that I'm not 

376
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,800
living as the Lord has called 
me. 

377
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,600
I see this pattern. 
I see it in Erin's life and I 

378
00:26:59,608 --> 00:27:00,900
see them. 
My own life. 

379
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,700
People are tempted to tell their
accusers to back off. 

380
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:09,400
If somebody confronts you, even 
somebody that loves you 

381
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,300
confront, you about an idol in 
your life, your immediate 

382
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:16,800
reaction spoken or not is back 
off. 

383
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,700
You don't know. 
What Aaron should have done is 

384
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:26,700
said immediately like David did 
like the prodigal son. 

385
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:32,300
Did I have sinned against God? 
I have done something horrible 

386
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:35,400
but he doesn't. 
He tells Moses to not be so 

387
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,100
angry back off. 
Second thing he does I see this 

388
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:43,600
all the time too is he blames? 
Others verse 23, for they said 

389
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,500
to me, make us Gods who shall go
before us. 

390
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,500
As for this Moses, the man who 
brought us out of the land. 

391
00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:52,000
We do not know what has become 
of him. 

392
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,400
He's blaming others, he's 
blaming Moses and ultimately, 

393
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,500
he's blaming God. 
And then lastly and you chuckled

394
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:00,000
when I read this, and I'm not 
surprised. 

395
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,700
Aged he refuses to fully admit 
what he's done. 

396
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Do you do that even before the 
Lord? 

397
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:14,500
When somebody confronts you on 
something that seemingly is an 

398
00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:17,700
idol in your life. 
And you're caught because of 

399
00:28:17,700 --> 00:28:21,300
God's mercy. 
Do you tend to minimize the sin?

400
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:26,600
Look with me again? 
He speaks of what happened. 

401
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,500
Verse 24, I said to them, let 
any who have gold? 

402
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:33,100
Take it off. 
So they gave it to me and I 

403
00:28:33,100 --> 00:28:38,100
threw it into the fire and out. 
Came this calf Well, I'm not 

404
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:41,600
going to take the time to go 
back to versus four and six 

405
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:48,100
because I've already been there.
But Aaron was deeply involved 

406
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:51,200
with his hands? 
And it wasn't just throwing it 

407
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,400
into the fire. 
It was crafting, it friends. 

408
00:28:55,900 --> 00:29:00,500
This is not repentance. 
Repentance is laying yourself 

409
00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:03,600
bare before the Lord saying, I 
can't even see all of my sin. 

410
00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:06,800
Show me mercy by showing me at 
all. 

411
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,100
It's not defending yourself. 
It's not making excuses this. 

412
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:14,400
Not minimizing, it, it's not 
saying, leave me alone. 

413
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,300
It's humbly coming before the 
Lord. 

414
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,900
Last thing I want you to see has
to do with atonement. 

415
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:28,500
Go over now to verse 30. 
The next day, Moses said to the 

416
00:29:28,508 --> 00:29:31,800
people, you have sinned, a great
sin. 

417
00:29:33,100 --> 00:29:37,300
And now I will go up to the 
Lord, perhaps I can make 

418
00:29:37,300 --> 00:29:41,400
atonement for your sin. 
You see his heart for the 

419
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,900
people. 
You see his heart. 

420
00:29:43,900 --> 00:29:46,200
As a mediator, is an 
intercessor. 

421
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:53,600
And Moses than goes up and 
returns to the Lord verse 31. 

422
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,800
He says this alas, this people 
that sinned, a great sin, they 

423
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:03,800
have made for themselves gods of
gold for 32, but now now I want 

424
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,200
you to see something in the 
Hebrew, there is a break and 

425
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,400
this break is assigned, Moses is
in incredible. 

426
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:18,600
Emotion, incredible turmoil. 
Exodus 32 32 Remember this Moses

427
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,000
has. 
But now, if you will forgive 

428
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,100
their sin, notice the dash. 
That's the break in the Hebrew. 

429
00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:28,800
This is important. 
If you will forgive their sin, 

430
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,300
Pause. 
But if not, please blot me out 

431
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,900
of your book that you have 
written. 

432
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:45,200
This is amazing. 
God, and His righteous anger 

433
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:51,700
said to Moses earlier in 32. 
I'm going to blot out this 

434
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:55,900
people. 
I'm going to consume them that I

435
00:30:55,900 --> 00:30:58,400
might make a great nation out of
you. 

436
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:01,700
At the end of 32, Moses is 
saying. 

437
00:31:02,900 --> 00:31:07,000
Forgive them of their sins. 
And if you were unwilling, then 

438
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,400
pause. 
Take me. 

439
00:31:13,300 --> 00:31:19,200
Take me, let me atone for their 
sins. 

440
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:29,400
But he can't. 
Because he's a sinner too. 

441
00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:38,300
An atonement. 
Has to be about a perfect, not 

442
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:42,400
almost perfect, not more good 
days than bad. 

443
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:50,600
A perfect substitute. 
Where satisfaction for that 

444
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:57,300
which is wrong, is given And a 
sacrifice made. 

445
00:31:58,900 --> 00:32:06,000
All of this is pointing to the 
one who would come and I promise

446
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,700
you in their mind. 
It seemed like a long delay. 

447
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,900
And then he was born. 
He walked on the earth for 33 

448
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:18,300
years. 
Tempted, far beyond what any of 

449
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:21,800
us could ever imagine. 
And Jesus Christ, the son of God

450
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,400
never said he became our 
atonement. 

451
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,400
If you want to understand 
atonement more fully go back and

452
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,100
just read what we saying earlier
and Before the Throne of God 

453
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:36,900
above that is the best him on, 
at element. 

454
00:32:36,900 --> 00:32:42,500
I can imagine Jesus Christ was 
our substitute and we needed 

455
00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:45,000
one. 
He was the only one who could 

456
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,100
satisfy the perfect Wrath of the
father. 

457
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:52,400
He secures for us, what we 
ultimately needed and it was 

458
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:58,600
through his sacrifice. 
He then rose from the dead, he 

459
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,100
ascended into heaven. 
And right now, he reigns is our 

460
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:07,500
King until the father sends him 
here, and it feels like it has 

461
00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:13,200
been a long delay. 
But not according to God. 

462
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,500
So, where do you go? 
When the delay seems to be 

463
00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:23,000
overwhelming. 
Friend. 

464
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:29,200
There is only one to go to. just
as you've listened to the 

465
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:34,200
conversations between God and 
Moses and Moses and Aaron and 

466
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,400
Aaron in the people and God and 
are and him got in the people 

467
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:43,000
through Moses, what is the Lord 
through his Spirit saying to you

468
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:48,200
now, do you know him? 
Is he your savior? 

469
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:53,200
If not today, may be the day 
when you will surrender to him 

470
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,500
and say you alone can save me, 
pray that prayer. 

471
00:33:57,900 --> 00:34:03,400
If you have been saved by God, 
you know that you're in Christ. 

472
00:34:03,900 --> 00:34:08,100
You are wise enough to know that
you are prone to wander, prone 

473
00:34:08,100 --> 00:34:12,100
to leave the god, you love and 
you are running two things, 

474
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,900
always that. 
You think make sense? 

475
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:20,500
And once they're exposed, you're
tempted to run to cover it up, 

476
00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:24,800
to make it not look as bad. 
Friends. 

477
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:34,100
Come before the Lord. 
Surrender Your Life to him, ask 

478
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:38,199
him to search, you and know. 
You was David dead and whatever 

479
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:43,199
he reveals. 
If you're in Christ, you're safe

480
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:47,699
now. 
Then don't put that sin in a 

481
00:34:47,707 --> 00:34:52,800
Cupboard or in a closet to kind 
of hang onto just in case. 

482
00:34:53,400 --> 00:35:00,000
Ask God to grind it down and 
destroy it if it's materialism. 

483
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:04,400
Mmm. 
If its power, if it's lost. 

484
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:10,900
If it's gossip. 
Your body, something you 

485
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:18,700
worship, whatever it is, ask God
to destroy it, to grind it up 

486
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,200
and while he sanctifies you 
meaning doing that work, making 

487
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,900
you more like Jesus. 
Which some days is going to feel

488
00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:33,200
like a long delay. 
Don't take it into your own 

489
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,100
hands. 
Don't rely on 

490
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:40,200
self-righteousness. 
Let go. 

491
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:49,500
And be bare before the Lord. 
Covered by your savior. 

492
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:57,700
Jesus, father in Heaven. 
What an amazing word that you've

493
00:35:57,700 --> 00:36:02,900
given us thousands of years ago,
this actually took place at the 

494
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:05,400
foot of a mountain and on a 
mountain. 

495
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:13,600
And here we seeing and we listen
and we think and we are grateful

496
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,600
that we have your spirit to show
us what we need. 

497
00:36:18,700 --> 00:36:23,500
It's your word. 
And what it tells us is true 

498
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:26,700
about who you are and who we are
in. 

499
00:36:26,700 --> 00:36:33,000
You father, let us soak in these
words, not just today but every 

500
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:39,100
day until you return or call us 
home, we pray in Jesus name and 

501
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:42,900
all of God's people said, amen, 
the stand.
