It's about the beginning of almost everything. It's a book of beginnings. Everything, almost everything that we read in the Bible, every subject, you can go back to Genesis and find the beginning of it. Who else has one? A book of the Bible and what it's about.

You know, sometimes we read the Bible and we don't really think about.
The whole book, we look at a verse, we look at a couple verses, we memorize a verse. It's good to think about. What's this whole book about? Genesis, the Book of Beginnings, stuff like that. Exodus, yeah, there's lots of stories that we know, but it's good to know that Exodus, the overall book, is about the journey through the wilderness.

He brought me a puzzle out of the horrible bit and set my feet up on a rock and established my goings. Psalms 42, thank you.
Anyone here? No.
No. Did I miss anybody?
Wants to say it OK.
I like this verse because it's got the whole gospel in one verse and it goes beyond what we often think about as the gospel. And if you just say the verse quickly, you might not notice, but I like to divide the verse into three parts.
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit and out of the miry clay. Can anyone think of a gospel verse or another verse?
That might talk about that same subject if we're applying that to the gospel, how we're brought up out of a horrible pit and the miry clay. Anyone do a verse like that?
Mayuri clay is like quicksand. You can't get out by yourself. You're stuck and you can't get out by yourself.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
We didn't plan that.
Anyone else other verses like that?
How about the wages of sin is death?
Right. Everyone of us is sinners, is a Sinner, all have sinned.
Anyone here think they've never done anything wrong?
Anybody.
I didn't do it. It was her, him, somebody else, my sister.
No, we all know that we've sinned.
And the wages of sin is death.
There's no way.
That we by ourselves as sinners.
We.
Can get into heaven. Can escape death, the penalty for our sins.
Anyone know the rest of that verse? I've only quoted the first part of it. The wages of sin is death. Can anyone say the rest of that verse for me?
Sorry.
00:10:00
Great.
But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Thank you. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Lord Jesus came down and he died and shed his blood, so that any that believe on him will have their sins washed away.
So back to our memory verse. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. Nothing you can do yourself. Imagine you're in a deep pit and you're stuck in quicksand. Can you get out by yourself?
No, you're stuck. But he brought me up.
And he set my feet upon a rock.
And you would think how that might apply to the gospel. He didn't just bring me out of the pit. He set my feet upon a rock. Are you going to sink anymore? Could you sink anymore on a rock into that quicksand?
You can't. You're secure.
In John.
Read it verse quickly in John chapter 10.
Verse 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me, and I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. So I like to think about that of that part of the verse. He set my feet upon a rock. At how secure we are.
If I seem to have been washed away, if we've accepted the Lord Jesus as our Savior, there is no possibility of losing that, no possibility of falling back into this pit that you can't get out of. You're secure, He's promised.
If God is God.
You're secure as long as God is God.
His own character, his own self, is at stake here.
There's no possibility.
Then the last part of that verse.
What's the last part of that verse? Someone help me up.
After he set my feet upon a rock, what did he do?
You remember.
He established my goings.
He doesn't just bring us up out of the pit and save us and say OK bye, have a good life.
I'll see you in heaven. You're safe. You're secure.
Go do the best you can. He didn't do that.
He established our goings. He has a plan for each one of us. He has a path for each one of us to walk.
And he's guiding us along that path, each one of us, from the youngest to the oldest.
It's just as true as the five year old sitting down there for him as it is for the oldest one here. Who's the oldest one here? I don't even know.
Here and Bev.
Does he have a plan for your life? Does he guide you through your life? He absolutely did.
Each one of us.
He has a plan for our life. There's a very.
One you can read this.
Who can turn for me to Psalm 32?
32 and willing to read a verse for me.
Yeah, OK. Can you show your Bible verse 8 please?
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way that Wichita shall go. I will guide thee with mine. I will instruct thee and teach me in the way which thou shalt go. I will guide thee with mine eye.
Can you guys see what I'm looking at?
Can you?
Kind of.
00:15:00
James, can you see what I'm looking at? I'm looking at you.
Can you guys see what Jude is looking at? He's way back there.
Anyone see what Jude is looking at?
If he wasn't hiding, I can't see what he's looking at. You know why? Why can't I see what Jude is looking at?
Mary, he's too far away.
So if the Lord Jesus is going to guide us with his eye, where does that tell us we have to do?
Anyone else? What are the tools we have to do stay close to him? You have to stay close to him.
And how do you stay close to the Lord Jesus?
That's a bit of a harder question. How do you stay close to the Lord Jesus? Anyone know?
You again.
OK, how do you stay close? Talking to him more often. Talking to him more often? That's exactly right. Reading his word, praying. Talking to him as a friend.
And he'll show you.
What he has for your life, He established my goings.
I want to turn to a couple more verses.
Wait every time.
One in First Corinthians.
Chapter 6.
Does anyone want to read this one?
It's actually 2 verses First Corinthians chapter 6.
Anyone want to read?
You want to.
No.
I'll read it then, unless I miss somebody.
OK I'll read it. First Corinthians chapter 6 and verse 19. What know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price.
Therefore, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are gods. If you think about this, this memory verse, we said, He brought me up out of a horrible pit and out of the miry clay. He was stuck. There was no possibility of escape. Nothing you could do to save yourself as good as dead.
And he brought you up and saved you. He rescued you.
You are bought with a price. You were you were as good as dad.
And he rescued you.
Don't you owe your life to him?
Turn to Romans.
Chapter 12.
If I can find Romans.
There we go.
Romans chapter 12 verse one says, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
How many kids were here in the Reading meeting yesterday morning?
I think at least half of you, maybe more. Does anybody remember?
What the word ministry means.
Only two, Steve.
Hannah, why don't you tell us?
Service, service. And each one of us has a service to do. And when Uncle Steve was talking about this yesterday, I found it really interesting because it tied directly into what I wanted to talk about today.
He's talking about how all of us have a service and it was tied to the mercy we had received.
In being not getting what we deserve. In a way, that's being rescued from this pit, saved from the penalty of your sins.
And here we are in Romans chapter 12.
I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God.
00:20:06
Because you've been rescued, you haven't gotten what you deserved. That you present your bodies.
If you're going to give your body, you're basically giving your whole life that you present your whole life.
A living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable.
Service Ministry.
Reasonable. It's only reasonable.
It just makes sense that if you've been saved from such a penalty.
You're as good as dead and you were rescued from this that you owe your life.
To him that rescued you, doesn't that make sense?
And it says 2 for the younger ones as it is for the older ones. And it's a good reminder for each one of us.
You know, if you think about.
Some people that you might think of in the Bible, some stories in the Bible of people that were faithful, faithful.
And that followed the Lord or followed God.
Who can you think of?
Who's someone in the Bible? Right. Pardon. Caleb was faithful. Who else? James. Moses. Joshua. Yeah.
Pardon.
Daniel.
Anyone else? Yeah.
Isaiah Hannah, you had one.
Abraham.
Noah.
And we think about these people. We know the stories, we rattle them off. But stop and think for a minute.
Let's pick one, Moses.
Think about his life.
Here he is growing up in the palace in Egypt, but God has a plan for him.
He gets chased out. He spends 40 years in the desert.
He comes back and he leads us, the children of Israel, through the wilderness.
Very, very tough life. Very. I wouldn't want that job.
Think about the trials, the sorrow.
Did he ask for this?
You know, maybe he.
Was tempted to look back and say God ruined my life, I had it all planned out, I was a Prince and he ruined it. Is it true?
Maybe from a worldly perspective, from Egypt's perspective, maybe. But no, he owed his life to God. He brought me up also over the horrible pit.
Present your bodies a living sacrifice. It's only reasonable.
Think of some of the others, Abraham.
But the Uncle Matt was talking about that last night.
He has nice family. He was married.
His father. He lived close to his father.
His brother.
And God called her and said go.
Pack up and go.
But but God, I had plans.
I had plans. I was going to settle down here. I had some nice pasture. I was going to grow my flocks. No go.
Think about these people.
Spend some time when you read these stories and think about what it would be like to live their lives. Think about what it meant for them to follow the Lord.
And really then think about what you're being asked to do.
The tiny sacrifices you're being asked to make.
How do they compare? It's only reasonable.
Which is your reasonable service.
I think we're almost out of time.
Let's finish with one more hymn.
Out of the camp hymn book.
#53.
00:25:04
I have decided to follow Jesus #53.
You're not your own for your bot with a price. Remember that as you make these decisions in your lives. It's true for the front row. It's perhaps even more true for those kids are sitting towards the back. A lot of decisions in your life coming up.
You're not your own. Let's pray.
I got your Father and our Lord Jesus, we thank thee for this opportunity we have to sing these hymns together and say these verses and we thank these delivered us from this horrible pit and not only made us secure.
But planned on our life and that has to plan to guide us through our life.
We pray that I'll help each one of us to remember this and to remember to turn to Thee and to stay close to Thee.
So we can hear what that would have us to do.
We commit the day ahead to thee now. Pray for help in the readings this afternoon and think of those that are still traveling up here and we pray for safety for them.
Commit the whole week ahead to the two, and we pray for an enjoyable and a fun time, but a profitable time too. As we learn more about Thee. We pray this now in Thy name, Amen.
