100:00:00,000 –> 00:00:09,760We will only get serious about pursuing contentment if and when we are convinced that the lack200:00:09,760 –> 00:00:14,280of it is a hellish sin in our lives.300:00:14,280 –> 00:00:18,700Welcome to Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith. I’m David Pick. Glad you could join400:00:18,700 –> 00:00:24,120us today and Colin, that’s quite a bold statement – discontent is a hellish sin?500:00:24,120 –> 00:00:29,320Well I first came across that from one of my Scottish heroes, a man by the name of Thomas600:00:29,840 –> 00:00:33,400Winchester, called Boston, a marvellous pastor of an earlier century. And I found a sermon700:00:33,400 –> 00:00:38,900that he preached called The Hellish Sin of Discontent and I thought really. I mean I800:00:38,900 –> 00:00:41,959can think of a lot of sins that you might call hellish but discontent…900:00:41,959 –> 00:00:44,000It’s not the first one that comes to mind.1000:00:44,000 –> 00:00:47,919The first one that comes to mind. But you know as I looked at the Scriptures, I came1100:00:47,919 –> 00:00:53,480to the conclusion he was absolutely justified in describing it that way. This actually comes1200:00:53,480 –> 00:00:58,099from hell – it leads to hell – and it gives the experience and the taste of hell1300:00:58,259 –> 00:01:03,220as well. And here’s what I’ve found in my life – that coming to see that discontent1400:01:03,220 –> 00:01:07,959is a serious sin has actually brought me to the place of saying – I therefore have to1500:01:07,959 –> 00:01:12,580deal with that when I see it rearing it’s ugly head in my life and that’s the point1600:01:12,580 –> 00:01:17,680of the message today. We want to be able to name sins for what they are in order to come1700:01:17,680 –> 00:01:21,160against them more strongly and to seek the grace of God to overcome them.1800:01:21,160 –> 00:01:27,120Well, let’s get into that. In Exodus chapter 17, join us if you can, as we begin the message1900:01:27,239 –> 00:01:30,839The Hellish Sin of Discontent. Here is Pastor Colin2000:01:30,839 –> 00:01:37,559Today we begin a four-week series that is entitled the Art of Contentment. And if you2100:01:37,559 –> 00:01:42,839are wondering why we would devote the whole month of May to this one subject, there are2200:01:42,839 –> 00:01:50,639two reasons, there is always both a personal and a public element to the ministry of God’s2300:01:50,639 –> 00:01:55,760Word, that is it must come from the heart of the one who speaks according to what that2400:01:56,199 –> 00:02:01,839person has been taught in the scriptures and it must relate to the lives of the people.2500:02:01,839 –> 00:02:08,139That’s at the very heart of what the ministry of the Word is. And with regards first to2600:02:08,139 –> 00:02:17,679the personal element, some years ago I came to a place of wanting a greater sense of peace2700:02:17,720 –> 00:02:25,720in my own life. I have been privileged to serve for 36 years two very wonderful churches,2800:02:25,720 –> 00:02:34,320both of them in the suburbs of world-class cities. London and Chicago.2900:02:34,320 –> 00:02:42,119And there is, as all of us know, a relentlessness about life in our cities always chasing after3000:02:42,119 –> 00:02:49,639the next thing and I have to say I like that. I like it because I want to live flat-out3100:02:49,639 –> 00:02:54,820for the glory of God. But some time ago I came to a place of saying I have to find a3200:02:54,820 –> 00:03:03,600way of living flat-out for the glory of God from a greater sense of internal peace.3300:03:03,600 –> 00:03:09,179And so for some time now, some years, the subject of Contentment has been a focus of3400:03:09,179 –> 00:03:15,539my own thinking, my own reading, my own praying and learning and I hope at least to some extent3500:03:15,539 –> 00:03:16,940growing.3600:03:16,940 –> 00:03:25,059The second reason is the public one. We are in a season in our culture where anger is3700:03:25,059 –> 00:03:32,139increasingly characterizing public life. Someone said to me… an older person said to me recently3800:03:32,139 –> 00:03:38,119I don’t think I can remember in my life a time when so many people were angry for so3900:03:38,119 –> 00:03:46,419much of the time. People are frustrated. We don’t seem to be able to subdue the threat4000:03:46,419 –> 00:03:51,899of the terrorist. There doesn’t seem to be a clear vision around which people can unite4100:03:51,899 –> 00:03:56,800and as a result there’s a growing sense of anxiety that you can feel spreading from day4200:03:56,800 –> 00:03:57,800to day.4300:03:57,800 –> 00:04:06,880And I put these three words together. Anger, frustration, and anxiety. And think about4400:04:06,880 –> 00:04:14,039it this way, contentment is moving from anger to peace, it is moving from frustration to4500:04:14,039 –> 00:04:20,420satisfaction, and it is moving from anxiety to trust.4600:04:20,420 –> 00:04:25,779And so this series not only comes out of a personal journey of seeking the Lord, it also4700:04:25,779 –> 00:04:33,540speaks to I think a moment in which we find ourselves in public life in our own experience.4800:04:33,739 –> 00:04:41,459It speaks, I believe, to an issue that we desperately need to come to terms with today.4900:04:41,459 –> 00:04:47,399Now my own journey with regards to contentment began, as I said some years ago, when I came5000:04:47,399 –> 00:04:50,059across, and I remember when it really began.5100:04:50,059 –> 00:04:57,100I came across a sermon by one of my heroes of the faith, a seventeenth century pastor5200:04:57,100 –> 00:05:02,320by the name of Thomas Boston, and I found this sermon that Boston preached and he called5300:05:02,380 –> 00:05:09,380it, the hellish sin of discontent, and I looked at that, the hellish sin of discontent and5400:05:12,779 –> 00:05:14,140my first thought was, really?5500:05:14,140 –> 00:05:21,140I mean the hellish sin of murder, maybe, but discontent?5600:05:24,140 –> 00:05:31,140Was Thomas Boston exaggerating when he used this title or was he justified in his description?5700:05:32,640 –> 00:05:38,859I’ve become convinced that he was entirely justified in his description and that is why5800:05:38,859 –> 00:05:45,359I am using his title for this message today. We are beginning this series with a focus5900:05:46,179 –> 00:05:52,600on the sin of discontent and it’s nature for this reason that we will only get serious6000:05:52,600 –> 00:05:58,440about pursuing contentment if and when we are convinced that the lack of it is a hellish6100:05:58,480 –> 00:06:05,320sin in our lives. And so my single aim for today is that by God’s grace, everyone of6200:06:05,320 –> 00:06:12,019us will come to the place by the end of the service of saying I never before saw my anger,6300:06:12,019 –> 00:06:19,019my frustration and my worry as a hellish sin, but I do now. And seeing that this discontent6400:06:20,459 –> 00:06:26,839is a hellish sin by the grace of God, I am going to set about pursuing a greater contentment6500:06:26,839 –> 00:06:32,260in my life. I am going to seek to take this journey from anger to peace, from frustration6600:06:32,260 –> 00:06:37,739to satisfaction, from worry to trust, and I am going to set about it by the grace of6700:06:37,739 –> 00:06:44,739God and with the help of God in this month of May 2016. Now I want us to begin in the6800:06:46,239 –> 00:06:50,220book of Jude, and this is perhaps the only time you will ever hear me say this from the6900:06:50,220 –> 00:06:56,119pulpit, I do not want you to look it up. We’ll get there in a moment, but I want first to7000:06:57,100 –> 00:07:03,160play fill in the blanks, so go with me on this just for a moment. Jude speaks about7100:07:03,160 –> 00:07:08,679the judgement of God that will come upon the wicked, and he says this, behold, the Lord7200:07:08,679 –> 00:07:15,679comes with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgment on all, and to convict7300:07:16,820 –> 00:07:23,779all the ungodly of their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly7400:07:23,959 –> 00:07:30,239way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.7500:07:30,239 –> 00:07:37,239Now four times in these two verses, you have a reference to the ungodly. God comes to execute7600:07:38,380 –> 00:07:45,380judgment on the ungodly. When judgment comes, God will bring it to the ungodly, and He will7700:07:45,739 –> 00:07:51,519convict them of their ungodly deeds and of what they have done in an ungodly way, and7800:07:51,519 –> 00:07:55,440the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against God.7900:07:55,440 –> 00:07:59,480When you get the same word four times in two verses, you know what it’s about. It’s about8000:07:59,480 –> 00:08:06,480the ungodly and the judgment of God that comes upon them. Now, here’s the fill-in-the-blank.8100:08:06,880 –> 00:08:13,880Jude then tells us who the ungodly are. These, that is the ungodly, are this this. What do8200:08:13,899 –> 00:08:20,899you think is in the blank? The ones on whom God comes to execute judgement, these are8300:08:31,100 –> 00:08:38,099the murderers, for sure, adulterers, thieves, rapists, terrorists, for sure. But none of8400:08:38,599 –> 00:08:45,599them are mentioned here. These, the scripture says, are grumblers, malcontents, following8500:08:58,960 –> 00:09:04,260their own sinful desires. Now you should look it up and make sure that’s really what it8600:09:04,559 –> 00:09:11,559says, and I promise you that it is. The ungodly are the malcontents. So here is the 1st reason8700:09:18,659 –> 00:09:25,659that discontent is rightly described as a hellish sin. Discontent is a hellish sin because8800:09:27,039 –> 00:09:34,039Judah says very clearly it directly leads to hell. Hell comes because of this. God comes8900:09:34,299 –> 00:09:39,340to execute judgment on the ungodly. Who are the ungodly? They are the grumbling and the9000:09:39,340 –> 00:09:46,340malcontents. I looked up malcontent in my online dictionary and got from Miriam Webster9100:09:47,799 –> 00:09:54,7992 definitions, the short one malcontent, a person who is always or often unhappy. And9200:09:55,640 –> 00:10:02,640the longer one, a person who bears a grudge from a sense of grievance or thwarted ambition.9300:10:04,700 –> 00:10:11,700So let’s describe what that is, this discontent, this malcontent. What is it? Others seem to9400:10:12,159 –> 00:10:18,659have more going for them than you do. Better gifts, better looks, better opportunities9500:10:18,659 –> 00:10:25,659and you are not happy with what God has given to you. You may be frustrated in your marriage9600:10:25,739 –> 00:10:31,580or with your children. Other people seem to have compliant children and somehow you have9700:10:31,580 –> 00:10:37,559one who is not so easy and you are not happy about that. Your friend has a home that is9800:10:37,559 –> 00:10:43,020larger than yours, vacations that are more exotic than yours, it all comes from a salary9900:10:43,020 –> 00:10:47,659that is much larger than yours. And you look at that and you find yourself saying, now10000:10:47,659 –> 00:10:54,500why him, why her, why them, why not me? Your life is not as you want it to be, your family10100:10:54,500 –> 00:10:58,599is not as you want it to be, your work is not as you want it to be, your church is not10200:10:59,039 –> 00:11:06,039to be, you are not happy, you have a sense of grievance about you and if that gets hold10300:11:07,140 –> 00:11:13,619and takes root in your heart, it will lead you to a very dark place indeed. So you have10400:11:13,619 –> 00:11:20,619to say to yourself, this is discontent and people are in hell because of this today.10500:11:20,679 –> 00:11:27,679And people are in hell because of this today, and Jesus Christ came to save me from sins10600:11:29,340 –> 00:11:36,340that lead to hell and I must therefore seek His help to deliver me from this hellish sin.10700:11:40,320 –> 00:11:45,260Discontent is a hellish sin because Jude very clearly says it leads to hell.10800:11:46,140 –> 00:11:53,140What a sobering place to pause the message. But we will be back very shortly, so do stay10900:11:53,900 –> 00:11:58,760with us. The message is called the hellish sin of discontent and it is one of the most11000:11:58,760 –> 00:12:04,219downloaded and listened to broadcasts of the last 12 months. We have included it in our11100:12:04,219 –> 00:12:09,700series, Listener Favourites 2026 and you can easily catch up or go back and listen again11200:12:10,119 –> 00:12:17,119Discontent is a hellish sin because it comes from hell. Remember that hell is a place of11300:12:29,020 –> 00:12:36,020perpetual discontent. People in hell are always angry and never at peace. But many people11400:12:40,460 –> 00:12:47,460in hell are always frustrated and never satisfied. Discontent is a defining characteristic of11500:12:51,320 –> 00:12:58,320hell itself. And that is surely the significance of our Lord’s words. Do you remember how11600:12:58,619 –> 00:13:04,619He described the experience of hell? He said, there there shall be weeping and gnashing11700:13:04,659 –> 00:13:11,659of teeth. What content would you put into the description gnashing of teeth? What does11800:13:13,140 –> 00:13:20,140gnashing of teeth convey? Surely it conveys this – to be always angry and never at peace.11900:13:21,599 –> 00:13:28,599To be always frustrated and never satisfied. Now there are three sins that lie behind discontent12000:13:29,440 –> 00:13:36,440and they are the characteristic and even the original sins of hell itself. They are pride,12100:13:37,260 –> 00:13:42,760rebellion and unbelief. It is for this reason that I say that discontent not only leads12200:13:42,760 –> 00:13:49,440to hell, it actually comes from hell. It’s characteristic of it. Think of this, discontent12300:13:49,440 –> 00:13:55,280first is a manifestation of pride and Jude in the verses that we looked at a moment ago12400:13:55,359 –> 00:14:01,320immediately makes this identification. These the ungodly are the grumblers and12500:14:01,320 –> 00:14:06,820the malcontents, they’re following through on their own sinful desire. They are loud12600:14:06,820 –> 00:14:11,960mouthed boasters. So there you are, he goes straight to pride because that’s at its root,12700:14:11,960 –> 00:14:18,960discontent is at its heart a manifestation of pride because it flows from a heart that12800:14:19,940 –> 00:14:26,039says, I deserve better than God has given to me.12900:14:26,039 –> 00:14:32,520And of course that was the original sin of Satan and the fallen angels themselves. In13000:14:32,520 –> 00:14:36,780fact, in the letter of Jude, if you still have that open, as I hope you now do in front13100:14:36,780 –> 00:14:43,440of you, we have a reference to the angels who like Satan were not content to be the13200:14:43,559 –> 00:14:49,780servants of God. Verse 6, angels who did not stay within their position of authority but13300:14:49,780 –> 00:14:54,679left their proper dwelling. You see, here are angels and they are given positions of13400:14:54,679 –> 00:15:01,000authority in the reign of God itself in heaven. But there are some of these angels, Jude is13500:15:01,000 –> 00:15:08,000telling us who way back in the midst of pre time said, in effect, we deserve better than13600:15:08,440 –> 00:15:12,780what God has given to us. They were not content with their positions of authority. They are13700:15:12,780 –> 00:15:19,780not content now and of course they never will be. Thomas Forsten says this, the devil is13800:15:21,780 –> 00:15:28,780the proudest creature of all and the most discontented because pride and discontent13900:15:29,780 –> 00:15:36,780lodge under the same roof. Very memorable. Pride and discontent always go together. You14000:15:40,039 –> 00:15:44,539will always find them in the same place, always find them under the same roof and that is14100:15:44,539 –> 00:15:51,539why satan, the restless wanderer, never at peace, always discontent. The proudest creature,14200:15:51,659 –> 00:15:56,799the most discontent because the two belong under the same roof.14300:15:57,739 –> 00:16:04,739I deserve better than God has given to me. Friends if I catch myself thinking like that14400:16:07,760 –> 00:16:14,760I have to take myself in hand and I have to say to myself, I deserve better than God has14500:16:16,640 –> 00:16:23,640given to me. That is the polar opposite of everything I believe. I believe that God has14600:16:24,080 –> 00:16:31,080I believe that God has given me abundantly more than I deserve. I believe that what I14700:16:31,780 –> 00:16:38,659deserve is hell on earth followed by hell in hell. But God has not given me that, He14800:16:38,659 –> 00:16:45,599has loved me. He has given His Son for me. He has blessed me with every spiritual blessing14900:16:45,599 –> 00:16:50,520in Jesus Christ. He has given me all that I need for life and for godliness in all things15000:16:50,640 –> 00:16:55,400His love surrounds me, and in all things He works out His great purpose that now has become15100:16:55,400 –> 00:17:00,400my purpose, that a true reflection of the glory of His Son should be seen for my joy15200:17:00,400 –> 00:17:07,400and for His glory forever and forever in me.’ Discontent, it is a horrible manifestation15300:17:08,859 –> 00:17:15,859of pride. That’s what it is. Second, discontent is an expression of rebellion. In the Old15400:17:16,579 –> 00:17:22,780Testament, as you know well, we have the story of Job, a good and a godly man, a man wonderfully15500:17:22,780 –> 00:17:29,660blessed by God. His family was blessed. His business was blessed. Job was living the dream15600:17:29,660 –> 00:17:36,660as we would say until one day through a series of disasters this good and godly man lost15700:17:36,900 –> 00:17:41,020everything. And Job said, you remember these famous words,15800:17:41,140 –> 00:17:48,140The Lord gave. The Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Now that’s what a15900:17:49,239 –> 00:17:56,239godly person says. An ungodly person, a discontented person says something different. You see,16000:17:57,619 –> 00:18:03,920the discontented person says, the Lord gave and He should have given more. The Lord has16100:18:03,920 –> 00:18:10,920taken away and He should not have done that. Which is why Job was blessed. He had given16200:18:11,079 –> 00:18:18,079more. And this is why Jude speaks about the harsh things that ungodly sinners speak against16300:18:20,260 –> 00:18:26,160God. See, discontent is a hellish sin, because at it’s heart it is a rebellion against16400:18:26,160 –> 00:18:31,199God. Any person who believes in a sovereign God and then is discontent is guilty of rebellion16500:18:31,199 –> 00:18:38,520because God is sovereign. Over all of my life. Paul pictures it this way in the Book of Romans.16600:18:38,680 –> 00:18:46,859He said, Imagine a piece of clay saying to the potter whose hands mold it,16700:18:46,859 –> 00:18:56,280Why are you making me like this? Why have you made me like this? Have you ever said that to16800:18:56,280 –> 00:19:02,880God? God, you should have done something different. And remember how the Apostle Paul answers that.16900:19:02,880 –> 00:19:11,520He says, Who are you old man to talk back to God? He’s God. But you see all discontent at17000:19:11,520 –> 00:19:18,459its heart is an expression of horrible Rebellion against God. It’s a manifestation of pride. It’s17100:19:18,459 –> 00:19:26,339an expression of rebellion. It is thirdly a fruit of unbelief. And this is why we read from Exodus17200:19:26,420 –> 00:19:35,02017 this morning. It tells the story of how God’s people had been greatly blessed. They had been17300:19:35,020 –> 00:19:41,319brought out of slavery in Egypt. They had crossed the Red Sea without getting their feet wet. God17400:19:41,319 –> 00:19:46,400had given them manna to feed them in the wilderness. Here’s something fascinating. Why17500:19:47,319 –> 00:19:58,560is it that those who are most evidently blessed are often most discontent. Nimai,17600:19:58,560 –> 00:20:05,520this was an overwhelming impression made upon me the very first time I came to India, meeting17700:20:05,520 –> 00:20:11,040brothers and sisters who have so much less than I have in my life, so much less than the vast17800:20:11,359 –> 00:20:20,400majority of us have, and seeing that there was a far greater general level of contentment among17900:20:20,400 –> 00:20:30,000Christian believers than typically is experienced here. Why is that? That so often those who are18000:20:30,000 –> 00:20:37,040blessed the most are content the least. Why would that be? The answer of course is that contentment18100:20:37,040 –> 00:20:44,000has nothing whatsoever to do with what you have or what you do not have in life. Contentment is18200:20:44,000 –> 00:20:52,800a condition of heart. That is why adding to what you have cannot bring contentment. It just doesn’t18300:20:52,800 –> 00:20:57,359work. It doesn’t happen. The world always says to us if you can bring what you have up to what18400:20:57,359 –> 00:21:01,119you want, then you will be content. It never happens. What you want just moves.18500:21:01,599 –> 00:21:04,959Contentment is a condition of heart.18600:21:07,439 –> 00:21:12,479Now at one point, God’s people who had been so greatly blessed, they come to a place18700:21:12,479 –> 00:21:18,640where they had no water. Now that is a legitimate concern. And there obviously are times in life18800:21:18,640 –> 00:21:24,760where we may have a legitimate concern as to how God will supply what we need.18900:21:24,760 –> 00:21:27,680But what happened was that their19000:21:27,839 –> 00:21:33,760legitimate concern metastasized into unbelief.19100:21:34,660 –> 00:21:37,300Verse 7 of Exodus 17,19200:21:45,500 –> 00:21:51,920Now here are redeemed people, God’s people brought through the Red Sea,19300:21:52,319 –> 00:21:57,280and within a very short space of time they have lost confidence that God is with them.19400:21:58,619 –> 00:22:01,859If you no longer believe that God is with you19500:22:01,859 –> 00:22:06,319you will no longer be confident that he will supply what you need19600:22:06,319 –> 00:22:11,000and it will not be long before the grumbling, the complaining begins19700:22:11,000 –> 00:22:14,640and you will find yourself sliding into the hellish sin of discontent19800:22:14,640 –> 00:22:17,000because it is the fruit of unbelief.19900:22:18,280 –> 00:22:21,780It arises from a loss of confidence that God is actually with you20000:22:21,979 –> 00:22:23,839and that he cares for you20100:22:23,839 –> 00:22:26,520and that he will, as we are going to see later in this series20200:22:26,520 –> 00:22:30,140wonderfully supply all that you need.20300:22:31,660 –> 00:22:33,479A word of warning in today’s broadcast20400:22:33,479 –> 00:22:35,020the message is called20500:22:35,020 –> 00:22:37,020the hellish sin of discontent20600:22:37,020 –> 00:22:41,260and we will be back with the second half of this message in the next broadcast20700:22:41,560 –> 00:22:42,900so I hope you’ll join us for that.20800:22:43,359 –> 00:22:45,339If you ever miss one of the messages20900:22:45,339 –> 00:22:47,339you can easily catch up or go back and listen again21000:23:17,400 –> 00:23:18,939if you listen to the program regularly21100:23:18,939 –> 00:23:22,640you will know that Open the Bible is supported by our listeners21200:23:22,640 –> 00:23:24,640and if you already support Open the Bible financially21300:23:24,640 –> 00:23:27,079thank you so much21400:23:27,079 –> 00:23:30,079if giving to support Open the Bible is something you are considering21500:23:30,079 –> 00:23:32,079this month we have a great offer for you21600:23:32,079 –> 00:23:36,239here is Open the Bible’s Amanda Cunningham to tell us about it21700:23:36,839 –> 00:23:39,020How do we become more loving people?21800:23:39,439 –> 00:23:41,579It’s something many of us long for21900:23:41,719 –> 00:23:43,479but it’s not always easy22000:23:43,760 –> 00:23:47,479The good news is that the more we experience God’s love22100:23:47,479 –> 00:23:51,619the more we are changed to love him and those around us22200:23:52,000 –> 00:23:56,439grow in love by pastor Colin smith is a new 30-day devotional22300:23:56,439 –> 00:23:59,819that explores one of the defining marks of the christian life22400:23:59,819 –> 00:24:05,219through daily bible readings, thoughtful teaching and practical application22500:24:05,219 –> 00:24:07,579pastor colin helps you discover22600:24:07,579 –> 00:24:10,219how God’s love can shape your heart22700:24:10,219 –> 00:24:12,219strengthen your relationships22800:24:12,339 –> 00:24:14,959and overflow into the lives of others22900:24:15,719 –> 00:24:17,500whether you’re new to these devotionals23000:24:17,500 –> 00:24:20,300or you’ve already enjoyed growing faith and growing hope23100:24:20,619 –> 00:24:22,719this final book stands on its own23200:24:22,719 –> 00:24:27,160while completing a wonderful journey through the three enduring gifts23300:24:27,160 –> 00:24:29,239of faith, hope and love23400:24:29,979 –> 00:24:34,079this month Openthebible is offering a free copy of growing love23500:24:34,079 –> 00:24:37,239when you give a one-off gift of at least £6023600:24:37,239 –> 00:24:40,760or begin a new direct debit of at least £5 a month23700:24:41,300 –> 00:24:43,300to donate and get your free copy23800:24:43,300 –> 00:24:46,339visit openthebible.org.uk today23900:24:46,339 –> 00:24:49,459and don’t forget to leave your name and address24000:24:49,459 –> 00:24:52,060well we’d love to send you a copy of Colin’s book24100:24:52,060 –> 00:24:53,160GROW IN LOVE24200:24:53,160 –> 00:24:57,099when you come on board with the many folks who support Open The Bible24300:24:57,359 –> 00:24:59,540full terms and conditions are on our website24400:24:59,540 –> 00:25:02,719that’s at openthebible.org.uk24500:25:02,719 –> 00:25:04,479and you can give online24600:25:04,479 –> 00:25:06,819for Open-The-Bible and Pastor Colin Smith24700:25:06,819 –> 00:25:07,959I’m David Pick24800:25:07,959 –> 00:25:09,260glad you joined us today24900:25:09,319 –> 00:25:12,660I hope to see you again next time on Open The Bible25000:25:24,199 –> 00:25:26,979discontent can be very costly25100:25:26,979 –> 00:25:32,300find out why next time on Open The Bible
