1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,100 We are free at full for Rachel and Rebecca and tearsa for the 2 00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:08,900 ministry and song. Beautiful choreographer brother 3 00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:11,700 Bart and I, he's going to come and share word of personal 4 00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:27,800 testimony. I thank the Lord that he has. 5 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,600 See if me uncapped made by his grace, I grew up in a Christian 6 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,200 home and we attended the free Presbyterian Church, Myron 7 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,700 Avenue in Belfast. There was a large Sunday school 8 00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:43,000 there with over 100 children attending every week. 9 00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:47,700 I remember attending Sunday school even as a tiny tot and 10 00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:50,300 climbing up into the back of a very old Caravan. 11 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,100 I think it was that was used for some disco classes. 12 00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:56,500 At that time, went along the side of the main Church. 13 00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:01,100 Faithful, Sunday school teachers, taught me week-by-week 14 00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:04,400 portions of the Bible and events from the Bible that still stuck 15 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,700 with me today. At home every morning before 16 00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:11,700 leaving for school. And every evening after dinner, 17 00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:14,900 we had family worship, we took turns reading a verse from a 18 00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:18,700 chapter of the Bible. I'm praying and we still do. 19 00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:22,600 We do this today? When wake up Sunday school, I 20 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,000 remember Willie Ferguson as a Sunday school teacher asking 21 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,300 each of us in the class. Whether we received not direct 22 00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:36,100 question was met with her. I was nearly served but I knew 23 00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:39,200 it wasn't and nearly wouldn't be good enough. 24 00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:43,500 From the age of nine. I attended by anger and 25 00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:47,800 dependent Christian School along with my brother and others from 26 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,100 Murray and church. The Christian School is sooo 27 00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:54,900 needed in these dark days and there's an anchor to so many 28 00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:57,100 children who would otherwise fall into the sense of the 29 00:01:57,107 --> 00:02:00,600 world. It teaches the same subjects is 30 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,300 the government-run school but to a higher standard and teaches in 31 00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:09,400 light of the moral standard and truths of the Bible while I was 32 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,500 at my Maria. and I was privileged to sit under the 33 00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,200 preaching of Reverend Health's, Plumbing, Reverend Stephen 34 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,200 Hamilton, and Reverend Jim Hardin, and it was while 35 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,700 attending young people's Fellowship, Reverend Harden 36 00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:27,000 discussed The Roman Road of Salvation, this was using the 37 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,800 book of Romans and text from up to point someone to Jesus, as 38 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,700 Savior and Redeemer. The only one that can forgive 39 00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:36,800 her sins after hearing the Roman Road of Salvation. 40 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,000 I didn't immediately go down that path, so to speak. 41 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,200 But the Holy Spirit was definitely working on me. 42 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,900 I always loved learning about creation hide the Bible so 43 00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,300 accurate, when it mentions, the creative power and works of God. 44 00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:54,000 Some and the Psalms it says the heavens declare. 45 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,200 The glory of God, it's a text, the shoes, God's creation, truly 46 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,100 shoats that there is an intelligent designer. 47 00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:06,400 Romans 1 verse 20 says, for the invisible things of him from the 48 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,600 creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by 49 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,200 the things that are made us even his eternal power and godhead. 50 00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:18,900 So that they are without excuse God was using his creation for 51 00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:24,800 me to understand him as Creator. One night at about 3:00 in the 52 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,900 morning, I couldn't sleep. I knew that I could no longer 53 00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:29,500 sleep another night without being. 54 00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:33,700 Sure of where I would be, if I died, I started reading the book 55 00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:36,000 of Romans, I read it from beginning to end. 56 00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:39,500 It was an incredible moment of Revelation for my shul. 57 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:43,700 I understood each verse and I could see that I was a Lost 58 00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:47,300 Sinner. Romans 3 verse 10 says there is 59 00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:51,200 none righteous no not one and Romans 23. 60 00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:55,900 Verse 23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God 61 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,700 Romans 5 and he upped his but God commendeth his love toward 62 00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:04,200 us in that while we were yet. Sinners State for us and Romans 63 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,800 6. Verse 23 says, for the wages of 64 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,400 sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal 65 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,000 life through Jesus Christ, Our Lord I was worthy of Eternal 66 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,600 punishment and hail. If I didn't love Christ, come 67 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,100 into my life, forgive my sins and give me a new life. 68 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,100 Remember, on previous occasions of reading, second Corinthians, 69 00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:28,800 five or 17. Therefore, If any man be in 70 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,300 Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away, 71 00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:35,600 behold all things are become new. 72 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,600 I had not had that change of heart, the priorities of my life 73 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,100 for herself and not for gold. So, as I read the book of 74 00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:45,800 Romans, I ask God to forgive my sins. 75 00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:50,300 Cleanse my heart and make me a new creature for him room. 76 00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:56,100 Z at verse 30 and 39 says for I am persuaded that neither death, 77 00:04:56,100 --> 00:05:00,200 nor life nor angels, nor principalities nor powers nor 78 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,700 things present or things to To come nor height nor depth nor 79 00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:07,000 any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of 80 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000 God which is in Christ. Jesus, our lord, what Assurance 81 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000 of salvation for me this is always one of the most amazing 82 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,400 verses of the Bible. God loves love reaches into our 83 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,300 hearts. I can never be taken away. 84 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000 Romans 10 verses 9 to 13 reads. Lift Thou shalt confess with thy 85 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,400 mouth, the Lord Jesus. And shalt believe in thine heart 86 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,300 that God hath raised him from the dead. 87 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,700 Thou shalt be saved for with the heart, man, believeth unto 88 00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:36,500 righteousness. And with the mouth confession is 89 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:38,600 made unto salvation for the scripture. 90 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,800 Saith whosoever, believeth on him, shall not be ashamed, but 91 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,800 there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek. 92 00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:46,800 For the same Lord over all is Rich unto all that. 93 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,300 Call upon him for whosoever shall call upon the name of the 94 00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:51,100 Lord, shall we? See. 95 00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:53,300 Moved and you that I receive now. 96 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,400 I had a change of heart.

I our Bible reading. 116 00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,300 The safe thing is taken from 2nd Corinthians. 117 00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:22,600 Second Corinthians chapter 4. We're going to read the first 118 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,300 six versus second, Corinthians Chapter 4. 119 00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:37,900 Verses 1 through 26. Let's hear the word of gold. 2nd 120 00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:42,000 Corinthians Chapter 4 verses 1 through 26. 121 00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:50,500 Therefore seeing we have received this ministry as we 122 00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:55,100 have received Mercy, we faint not but every ninth, the hidden 123 00:07:55,100 --> 00:08:00,100 things of dishonesty. Not walking in craftiness, not 124 00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:03,300 handling the word of God deceitfully, but by 125 00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:06,600 manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to Every 126 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,100 Man's conscience in the sight of God. 127 00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:14,300 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are Are lost in 128 00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:17,900 whom the God of this world. Hath blinded the minds of them 129 00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:21,800 which believe not lest the light of the Glorious gospel of 130 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,900 Christ, who is the image of God should shine unto them for we 131 00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:30,100 preach, not ourselves, but Christ Jesus, the Lord and 132 00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:34,299 ourselves your servants for Jesus sake, for God, who 133 00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:37,799 commanded the light to shine out of Darkness, have shined in our 134 00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,799 hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in 135 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:46,100 the fears of Jesus Christ. Well, and the reading they are 136 00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:49,000 at verse 6 and we pray. God will stomp was only approval 137 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,800 and blessing. That's reading a bunch of and 138 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,300 precious word. Now, my text tonight is found in 139 00:08:55,300 --> 00:09:00,500 2nd Corinthians chapter 4, and verse 3, it reads as follows. 140 00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:05,400 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. 141 00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:08,400 And I want us to think tonight and the theme that I've entitled 142 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,700 the cause and the consequences of hiding the Gospel. 143 00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:17,500 They this is indeed a Solomon taxed, it contains the most 144 00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:20,800 serious message. You see the Apostle Paul didn't 145 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,600 look upon or view the preaching of the Gospel as I agree. 146 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,200 Sure. Or as a task to fulfilled in a 147 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,700 light-hearted manner, he fully relied on preaching. 148 00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:39,200 The gospel. As a vital part of his ministry, 149 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,600 is he from the day of his conversion, God had called him 150 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,200 to be. A gospel preacher and as a 151 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,400 gospel preacher, he faced many challenges he experienced many 152 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,600 difficulties along the way he had trials and troubles, he had 153 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,400 Fierce adversaries. And foes even at times he grew 154 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:04,000 weary faint-hearted and, and whale doing and yet despite fear 155 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000 within and fear without all the way Lee was going through this. 156 00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:14,500 He's soft to be fearful to this grid charge and that God had 157 00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:18,300 called him to God. He knew had put him into this 158 00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:23,700 ministry. He acknowledged in Acts 26 22 159 00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:29,100 that he obtained help of God. He knew he wasn't sufficient in 160 00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:34,900 an office for himself, but his sufficiency his strength was in 161 00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:37,600 God and the New Testament records. 162 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,400 For us, Paul's life of service and devotion as a gospel 163 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,800 preacher. Remember, he tells us there and 164 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:50,900 First Corinthians in chapter 1 and in verse 22, he says for the 165 00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:55,100 Jews require a sign and the Greeks seek after wisdom, but we 166 00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:59,300 preach Christ crucified under Jews a stumbling-block and unto 167 00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:03,600 the Greeks foolishness. He goes on to tell us there and 168 00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:08,100 chapter 2, he says in a rather, and when I came to, you came not 169 00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:11,600 with Excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you, the 170 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,600 testimony of God for, I determined not to know anything. 171 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,200 Among you see of Jesus Christ and him crucified and I was with 172 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,200 you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling and my speech. 173 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,200 And my preaching was not with enticing words of man's Wisdom. 174 00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:30,200 But in demonstration Creation of the spirit, and of power that 175 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,700 your faith should not stand in the wisdom of man, but in the 176 00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:39,800 power of God, and if you look at Second Corinthians 4:5, he tells 177 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,000 us this for we preach, not ourselves, but Christ Jesus, the 178 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,800 Lord and ourselves your servants. 179 00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:50,800 For Jesus sake. Paul's Ministry that God had 180 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,400 given to him centered in the person and work of the Lord 181 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,400 Jesus. It wasn't in the VA in 182 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,600 philosophy. If man, it wasn't on some social 183 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,200 remedies of the day, it certainly wasn't on climate 184 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,800 change, that wasn't the focus and it certainly wasn't 185 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,100 lgbt-related. It wasn't a religious rights and 186 00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:14,500 ceremonies of man. It wasn't even on politics of 187 00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:16,600 the day. He didn't even focus on the 188 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,700 moral issues and values of the day but he focused on Christ and 189 00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:23,600 Christ Alone. He tells us something. 190 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,800 Here is a right to the Corinthians but if our gospel be 191 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,200 hid, It it is head to them that are lost. 192 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,500 What is the greatest crime in the century? 193 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,000 I believe the greatest crime in the century happens today and 194 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,300 said-- churches churches that were open to the glory of God 195 00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:44,300 churches, that were opened for the preaching of the gospel 196 00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:49,400 because mayonnaise churches, today are closed and many 197 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,900 churches today, have lost their focus on the gospel. 198 00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:56,900 It was that a doctor Peasley that said, gospel preaching. 199 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,900 Oh, Opens churches and the opposite. 200 00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:02,800 Then is true, not preaching, the gospel, not preaching Christ and 201 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,100 him crucified. What happens eventually the 202 00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:09,100 church days and weathers and becomes closed. 203 00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:12,500 The gospel is not a trivial matter, look at our text, 204 00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:16,700 there's four things here, you've got the testimony of the Hidden 205 00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:21,300 gospel. If our gospel behead, Notice the 206 00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:25,400 words Our Gospel, that's interesting. 207 00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:27,900 Is he hears the testimony of the Apostle. 208 00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:30,000 Paul. Whose gospel, is it? 209 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,500 It's God's gospel, but he calls it here. 210 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,400 Our Gospel that is himself, and the people that were with them. 211 00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:43,500 He had a personal testimony to the saving power of the Gospel 212 00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:45,700 in his own life. Remember in the road to 213 00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:48,700 Damascus, he was dead in trespasses and sins. 214 00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:50,300 How he was spiritually, blind to go. 215 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,000 God and Jesus, Christ and sin, and a soul and salvation. 216 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,500 He was sprightly disease. Did who thought her real fear of 217 00:13:57,500 --> 00:14:00,800 God at that time? And yet, he's not my because of 218 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,400 what happened in the Damascus Road. 219 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,200 He's not a changed man. He is a transformed man. 220 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,500 The persecutors become a preacher. 221 00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:11,100 The blasphemers become a Believer. 222 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,900 Hi, was it possible? Here's the answer for God. 223 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,100 Who commanded the light to shine out of Darkness, not takes you 224 00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:22,400 back to Genesis chapter 1. One verse one and two, what does 225 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,600 that God? Um, have shined in our hearts to 226 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:31,900 give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the fears 227 00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:38,700 of Jesus Christ, hears Paulo's personal experience, God who 228 00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:40,900 commanded the light to shine out of Darkness. 229 00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:45,000 The God who said let there be late well that seemed God by his 230 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,900 creative power. He have shined in our hearts. 231 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,700 And what do these Shane into our hearts. 232 00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:53,700 The light of the Glorious Gospel of God in the face of Jesus 233 00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:56,200 Christ. And that's what see if to that's 234 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,300 what changed him. That's what transformed him and 235 00:14:59,300 --> 00:15:02,700 he was fully persuaded in his whole heart and mind that what 236 00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:04,500 he had experienced was the power of God. 237 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,100 God unto salvation. Remember what he says in Romans 238 00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:11,700 1 verse 16, for I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it 239 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,400 is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that 240 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,200 believeth to the Jew first and also, to the Greek for therein 241 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,900 is the righteousness of God revealed from Faith to Faith. 242 00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:24,600 As it is written, the just shall live by faith. 243 00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:29,300 That word power is the word dunamis from which we get the 244 00:15:29,300 --> 00:15:33,000 English word Dana made and you got to think of explosive energy 245 00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:37,000 and the gospel is like explosive energy to those, that hear the 246 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,100 gospel and to those to whom the gospels applied, you see the 247 00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:45,200 gospels, the answer. And here's why Paul risked his 248 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,000 life day and Ely, he lived to exalt and magnify the name of 249 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,000 the Lord, Jesus Christ, you know, that the neum Jesus refers 250 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,000 to his Humanity. The name Lord refers to his 251 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,200 daddy, the name Christ, as he emphasized this morning with 252 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,500 fares to his ministry. The gospel is a very Dynamic. 253 00:16:04,500 --> 00:16:08,400 Now message it's the explosive energy of God and here's a 254 00:16:08,408 --> 00:16:11,300 mound, he's burdened. Here's a man who's bent and 255 00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:14,900 reaching souls for Christ and he lived his life with the full 256 00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:18,900 intent of presenting Christ. To all who would hear them. 257 00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:24,100 He knew the reality of what it meant to be a lost soul, he 258 00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:27,100 could see them dead and send. He could see them Spirits, 259 00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:30,000 they've claimed he could see them spiritually disease 260 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,300 destined for damnation and he says this therefore seeing we 261 00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:40,000 have this ministry as we have received Mercy, speaking about 262 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000 his personal experiences, testimony we finished not in 263 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,100 other words we're not going to lose heart. 264 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,500 We're not going to give up. We're not going to quit because 265 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,400 Paul was possessed by the gospel, it felt his heart and 266 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,300 mind. Mind. 267 00:16:56,700 --> 00:17:01,000 And you see we live in a day when preachers and sadly. 268 00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:07,099 Or D and clergyman in certain churches, do not know what the 269 00:17:07,099 --> 00:17:10,200 gospel is. And yet this man could say in 270 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,800 1st Corinthians 9 and 16 woe unto me. 271 00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:16,700 If I preach, not the gospel and it's good to have a fine 272 00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,599 building over here on her fifth anniversary and we rejoice in 273 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,200 this building, it's good to have a program. 274 00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:26,700 It's good to have activities and even good to have a strong 275 00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:28,700 congregation when everybody's here. 276 00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:31,600 But that's nothing. You can have the building the 277 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,700 program, the activity you can have hundreds of people and yet 278 00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:39,500 not have the gospel. Paul wanted and longed and you, 279 00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:43,800 the necessity of a faithful gospel Ministry that centered or 280 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,600 on the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. 281 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,100 He knew the gospel, he was possessed by the gospel. 282 00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:51,400 He loved the gods, he lived for the gospel. 283 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,300 There was no room for changing the gospel. 284 00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:55,800 No room for diluting, the gospel truth. 285 00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:59,800 You, the gospel starts with God and yet he called it Our Gospel. 286 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000 There's the testimony of the head and gospel very quickly 287 00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:07,600 think about the tragedy of the Hidden gospel, he Says of Our 288 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:13,100 Gospel behead, ask yourself who's behind the hating of the 289 00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:16,300 Gospel. And the answers given to us in 290 00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:19,300 the next verse. We don't have to second guess, 291 00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:22,300 look at verse 4 and whom the God of this world has blinded the 292 00:18:22,308 --> 00:18:25,100 minds of them. Which believe not the God of 293 00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:29,200 this world is another title for the devil and you see as the 294 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,900 true gospel preacher Harold's forth the gospel and people hear 295 00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:36,200 it. People maybe read it in the 296 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,800 taxed of Holy Scripture, people see it before their very eyes. 297 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,500 Sadly, those who To see and hear and read the gospel. 298 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:54,900 Can go on with a Christ without a sense of appreciation, without 299 00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:58,600 understanding of what that message is all about, without 300 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,000 having a desire or an appetite for it, something it's not 301 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,400 important to them. Why? 302 00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:07,000 Because the Bible tells us 2nd 1st Corinthians, 2:14 the 303 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000 natural man. Receiveth not the things of the 304 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,100 spirit of God for. They are foolishness unto him. 305 00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:13,500 Neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned 306 00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:18,300 and you see what is happening to their natural mind and heart as 307 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,300 The devil is at work because his goal is to deceive and to 308 00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:25,300 devalue and deny and doubt and get them to justice. 309 00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:28,400 Believe the gospel, the God of this world. 310 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,700 What has he done? He hath blinded the minds of 311 00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:36,500 them, that believe not. Here's here's the activity off 312 00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:40,500 the devil, the devil's. An expert witness. 313 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:48,700 They, the devil's being revealed here is the one who desires and 314 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,100 uses his power to exercise over the hearts and minds of 315 00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:56,800 unbelievers. So that they stay blinded and 316 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,700 they stay in the dark as far as the gospel as concerned over 317 00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:07,500 there in the Gospel of Luke in Luke chapter 8 and in the verse 318 00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:11,500 15. We read these words by way of 319 00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:15,800 explanation whenever we think about the parable of the sower, 320 00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:19,000 he says. Sorry it's verse 12. 321 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,400 Luke chapter 8 verse 12, those by the wayside. 322 00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:24,900 Are they that hear. So think of something hearing 323 00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:28,900 the gospel, then cometh. The devil at that moment in time 324 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,700 and take us away the word out of their hearts lest, they should 325 00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:38,300 believe and be saved and over there in John chapter 12 and in 326 00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:45,700 the verse 14, We have something similar, he has blinded their 327 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,700 eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with 328 00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:53,400 their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted and 329 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,500 I should heal them. And that was a quotation. 330 00:20:56,500 --> 00:21:00,900 Of course from the book of Isaiah, see the devil's buzzing. 331 00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:04,800 He does not want the light of the Glorious gospel to shine 332 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,700 forth into your heart because he doesn't want you to be saved. 333 00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:09,300 He doesn't want you to be converted. 334 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,800 There's nothing good about the devil. 335 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,900 There's nothing true about the Devil. 336 00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:17,200 He's a liar. He's being not from the 337 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,500 beginning. Remember what we read in John 338 00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:23,300 chapter 8 and verse 44, year of your father, the devil and the 339 00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:24,800 lusts of your father, ye will do. 340 00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:27,200 He was a murderer from the beginning and Abode, not in the 341 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,800 truth because there's no truth in him. 342 00:21:28,900 --> 00:21:31,500 When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own for, he is a 343 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:36,900 liar and the father of it, and he still in the business of 344 00:21:36,900 --> 00:21:41,300 trying to stop the advance and Red of the great truths of the 345 00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:44,400 gospel and heal. Obscure your heart and mind 346 00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:51,600 using your natural bent to deny and turn away from the gospel. 347 00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:54,200 And he will try as much as they can. 348 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,100 To hide the gospel from you. I want to tell you, here's one 349 00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:02,500 of his favorite devices very quickly pleasure. 350 00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:05,500 You know, the Bible talks about being a lover of pleasure, your 351 00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:09,300 lover of pleasure tonight, more than lovers of God, as in the 352 00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:12,400 motto of Manny in our world eat drink and be merry for tomorrow. 353 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,600 You die. Let me have my Pleasures. 354 00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:18,800 Let me do whatever I want. Give me what I found. 355 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,900 See what I lost four. How many people drink 356 00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:27,300 themselves? Into Oblivion Dance the Night 357 00:22:27,300 --> 00:22:31,400 Away, Gamble? Party scene. 358 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,800 Music. What's happening? 359 00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:39,300 The devil's using this to blame their manes to stop their ears 360 00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:43,000 to what the grid throughs of the Gospel, isn't it? 361 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,900 Interesting. We think of Jesus Christ being 362 00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:47,700 crucified in the cross. What were the soldiers doing? 363 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,900 They were gambling At His Feet. Gambling for the clothing. 364 00:22:51,900 --> 00:22:53,600 That came off the back of Christ. 365 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,600 Here's the crucified Christ. Hanging in agony and blood. 366 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,400 Can you picture that scene? And one of the soldiers doing 367 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,700 there?

Remember the crowd when they 379 00:23:39,008 --> 00:23:41,200 were crucifying Christ, not the smile. 380 00:23:42,300 --> 00:23:47,000 Turian overs away with him crucify him you see man or quite 381 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,700 happy to live live and pleasure live with all their proud 382 00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:53,200 Spirit.

God, here's another device 388 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,100 procrastination. This is one of the devil's 389 00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:14,800 tactics.

The Bible says behold now is the 406 00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:05,800 day of salvation. Now is the accepted time. 407 00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:08,500 You may not see tomorrow. I may not see tomorrow 408 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,800 procrastination, false professions. 409 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,700 How how many faults professions is there in Northern Ireland? 410 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:19,600 Remember the devil? As an angel of Light and how 411 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,500 many people have been urged by the preacher to walk and I'll 412 00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:32,700 say Nack, yard offer a prayer. Not doesn't see if, but they put 413 00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:37,300 their confidence and faith and not, and then they get for free 414 00:25:37,300 --> 00:25:40,700 and and unworried. Did I say the rate formula of 415 00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:43,700 words was my name, spelled correctly. 416 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:49,100 That, that was a humble enough as a came forward and they never 417 00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:52,100 even have a thought. I could have a simple false 418 00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:56,700 profession. Not to me as a masterstroke of 419 00:25:56,700 --> 00:26:00,600 the devil, some of the thinking that they're sieved pretending 420 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,700 that they're seeing but they're not actually born again. 421 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,300 There's no evidence of a new heart. 422 00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:09,800 There's no evidence of a new life. 423 00:26:12,300 --> 00:26:14,400 Maybe you're here tonight and that's what you have, you've 424 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,400 made a profession, but is actually a false one because you 425 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,400 were never changed. You've no real love for God or 426 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,800 Christ or the things of God, you do hit. 427 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,800 But for sin, you know, desire for holding. 428 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,500 What about the device of possessions, a love for things, 429 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,200 or how many people have a love for things? 430 00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:37,000 And yet their razor close to spiritual reality and spiritual 431 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,700 truth. Happy with their spiritual 432 00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:40,800 blindness, happy with their spiritual, state knows. 433 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,700 Sense of fear, no sense of alarm. 434 00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:45,000 No sense of drama. Why? 435 00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:46,800 Because they're blinded to the gospel. 436 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:52,900 Notice this here, Half blinded the minds of them, that believe 437 00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:58,100 not. It's not We'll try to put half, 438 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,000 he's doing it at ready. Paul says, in Corinth, it's not 439 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,500 a new thing. He's been added from the 440 00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:07,500 beginning and do I could flag up tonight. 441 00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:11,600 The days of Noah, I remember he was a preacher of righteousness 442 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:17,500 and many received in Noah's day. Just Noah his wife, his three 443 00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:22,700 sons and their ways not many Comforts in the old world. 444 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,900 We don't really have one come to the days of lot. 445 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000 Not was a backslider i'mi'm, not spoke to people in Sodom. 446 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,400 He seemed as if he was knocking. Lot's wife. 447 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,100 Turned back became a pillar of salt. 448 00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:40,100 Why? Cause you haven't done your 449 00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:43,500 heart. She had a heart for Sodom not 450 00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:47,100 for the Savior. She loved its lifestyle and it's 451 00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:50,600 lawlessness. The Bible tells us remember 452 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,200 Lot's wife, what about the days of Isaiah? 453 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000 And if you turn there to the book of Isaiah for a few minutes 454 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,000 and Isaiah chapter 1, you're going to reach something 455 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,900 startling. Something that's actually a 456 00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:07,400 picture of our day. It says there and Isaiah 1:2 457 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,400 hear o heavens and give ear o Earth for the Lord of spoken. 458 00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:14,100 I have nourished and brought up children and every belt against 459 00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:17,800 me, the ox new with his owner and the ass, his master's crib, 460 00:28:17,900 --> 00:28:21,400 but Israel dog. Not know, my people do not 461 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,200 consider a sinful Nation a people Laden with iniquity a 462 00:28:25,208 --> 00:28:27,800 seed of evildoers children that are corrupters. 463 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,900 They have forsaken, the Lord, they have provoked. 464 00:28:29,900 --> 00:28:31,700 The Holy One of Israel under anger. 465 00:28:31,700 --> 00:28:36,500 They are gone away backward, why should you be stricken and him? 466 00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:40,400 Or he will Revolt more and more. The whole head is sick, and the 467 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,400 whole heart feeling from the sole of the foot. 468 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,400 Even under the head, there is no soundness in it. 469 00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:47,800 But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores, they have not 470 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,200 been closed, neither I end up neither mollified with ointment. 471 00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:58,300 You see the spiritual blindness was an epidemic in Isaiah's day 472 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,800 and here's the evidence that spiritual blindness. 473 00:29:02,300 --> 00:29:06,100 There's a love for sin. There's a continuation in sin. 474 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,100 There's a forsake in of God, on a forgetting of US law, people 475 00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:14,900 refuse to repent. People don't want to know, you 476 00:29:14,900 --> 00:29:18,500 tell them they're lost and they laugh, they think sends our 477 00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:22,200 friend. But all the while it's a fool 478 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,800 and the Bible talks about the deceitfulness of sin and sin, of 479 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:33,300 course, not only just saves but what sin destroys Send downs and 480 00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:35,300 not only as their continuation in sin, but there's a 481 00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:38,500 carelessness for the Savior. Hey, many people have no anxiety 482 00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:41,900 for Christ. You invite them to a gospel 483 00:29:41,900 --> 00:29:46,100 service, they're not troubled. They're not tell you, I'll be 484 00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:48,200 there, isn't it? Interesting? 485 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,200 That Isaiah if we go back to Isaiah and Isaiah chapter 53, 486 00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:56,800 and he tells us there, and as I a chapter 53 and the verse 1, 487 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,500 the aasa' on a question who hath believed our report. 488 00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:03,400 And to whom has the arm of the Lord revealed. 489 00:30:03,500 --> 00:30:06,700 And the liberal thought is there who hath believed our Doctrine 490 00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:11,800 who believe the revelation of God, who believed the gospel, 491 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,600 you see to them. It was a worthless thing to 492 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,300 them. It meant nothing. 493 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,200 So they emitted no appeal because remember, they're blind. 494 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,900 Remember, they're dead? Remember, they're spiritually. 495 00:30:23,900 --> 00:30:28,400 Diseas'd they see no attraction to create, they have no love for 496 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,600 Christ. Trust in themselves and their 497 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:32,800 good. And what's the end of it? 498 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:38,000 All if you look at our text the tragedy of the head and gospel, 499 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,600 it says, but if our gospel be head and his head to them that 500 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:50,900 are lost, Lost in sin. Lost in relation to Jesus 501 00:30:50,900 --> 00:30:56,900 Christ. Lost modeling, lost spiritually. 502 00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:03,000 Lost eternally for one day. They will be lost for all 503 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,400 eternity. For Jesus said, if you die in 504 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,400 your sins where I am there, you can't be that's the tragedy of 505 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,300 the head and gospel the devil's at the back of it. 506 00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:14,200 Here's what he's doing, here's the devices and many others that 507 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:19,300 he's using and here's the end result, lost lost. 508 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,200 One final thing I want you to think about the truth of the 509 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,900 head and gospel. as I've told you the devil's at the back of 510 00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:36,100 us, And the devil Works quickly. As soon as you hear the gospel 511 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,400 to snatch, it away your heart and night. 512 00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:41,700 The devil Works. Intensely, he's not playing a 513 00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:46,500 game, he knows what he's doing, lest, you should be converted. 514 00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:54,700 The devil Works viciously users region anger and persecution. 515 00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:57,500 And of course, that's what he did in Paul's day and that's 516 00:31:57,500 --> 00:32:04,500 what he's doing in our day. The devil Works subtly, he can 517 00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:06,800 come as an angel of Light. He can take away one or too, 518 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,800 few, few truths. Out of the Gospel messy. 519 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,800 Distort, the gospel, that makes it, another gospel, another 520 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,000 Jesus, and it's hidden from the hearts and minds of the people 521 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,600 Here's the truth of the Hidden gospel. 522 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,800 You see this word lost? Are we thinking about? 523 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:31,700 Sadly, there's a hell. For those Sinners, how many 524 00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:36,500 tonight are lost and sin, naturally lost because they're 525 00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:39,200 born spiritually, dead, blind and diseas'd. 526 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,900 They're spiritually lost. There's no hope. 527 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,400 There's no meaning and they're in danger of Eternal damnation. 528 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,200 They're in danger of being eternally lost because he'll is 529 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,400 real. And who's the one that can 530 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,700 uncover the gospel? Who's the one that can make it 531 00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:02,700 known unto us? Well, that's the work of the 532 00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:05,000 Lord. Jesus, that's the work of the 533 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,700 holy spirit of God, and that's why Paul preached Christ and him 534 00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:12,200 crucified and he preached in the power of the Holy Spirit. 535 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:17,000 He said we preach Christ and him crucified because yes, there's a 536 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,200 hell for Sinners, but there's hope for sinners. 537 00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:25,900 On the hope for Sinners as this hidden gospel has hidden from 538 00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:30,200 their hearts and Minds will be revealed to them by the spirit 539 00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:35,100 through the scriptures. Unrevealed of the savior. 540 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,500 And they discover that there's hope and joy and peace to be 541 00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:44,400 hard on him. Let me ask you tonight. 542 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,000 What's your attitude and thought to the gospel? 543 00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:53,900 Do You Love The Gospel tonight?
