1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick. 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 2: I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our podcast. 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 2: I wanted to thank you for joining us today. 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: Hope this inspires you. Hope it builds your faith. 5 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 2: Hope it gives your perspective to see God is moving 6 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 2: in your life. 7 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: Enjoy the message. 8 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 2: I was led to Second Corinthians chapter one, verse six 9 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 2: through ten, and time permitting, we might get verse eleven, 10 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 2: but we will have to see if we have anything 11 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: left in the time budget before we decide that. And 12 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: I didn't start with this text this week, but this 13 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: is eventually the place where I felt like the Lord 14 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: wanted to spend a little bit of time. If we 15 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: verse six, Second Corinthians, Chapter one, Apostle Paul writing, are afflicted, 16 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 2: it is for your comfort and salvation. 17 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: Everything I go through serves a purpose. 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: And if we are comforted, it is for your comfort 19 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: that we suffer. Our hope for you is unshaken, for 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 2: we know come on, somebody, shall we know. 22 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: Sound good? Shouting that you sound rested? 23 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: For we know that as you share in our sufferings, 24 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: you will also share in our comfort, For we do 25 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: not want you to be ignorant, brothers and sisters, of 26 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 2: the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so 27 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: utterly burdened beyond our strength that we just spared of 28 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: life itself. 29 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of. 30 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: Death, but that even when it got so hard, I 31 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: felt helpless and hopeless. That was to make us rely 32 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: not on ourselves but on God. 33 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: I found my foundation. 34 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: When I went through a shaking, so that I would 35 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: trust Him who raises the dead. He delivered us from 36 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. Why 37 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: he's still God, So on him we have set our 38 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: hope that he will deliver us again. 39 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: I want you to give your neighbor my. 40 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: Sermon title, but I want you to have a little 41 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 2: conversation with him to set the context for it. Tell him, neighbor, 42 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 2: it's kind of crazy in the world these days. There's 43 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 2: a lot going on. The stakes are high. 44 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: Now. 45 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: I want you to answer what they just said to you. 46 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: Look at them, and give him my title. Tell him 47 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: I know, but I'm not nervous. 48 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: Try your other neighbor out. Tell him I know. I 49 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: watched the news I saw what. 50 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: Your cousin Jimmy said on Facebook about a conspiracy theory. 51 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,119 Speaker 2: Tell him about I'm not nervous, nervous. I am not nervous. 52 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: I refuse to be, not gonna be, not about to be. 53 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: God is too great and he's been too good for 54 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: me to be nervous. Heymen, I feel like I preached already. 55 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: You may be seated. 56 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 2: Paul would like to set the record straight. There are 57 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: too many rumors circulating. There's too much noise and not 58 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: enough signal. Come on, somebody. We are drowning in opinions 59 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: and we don't have a drop of truth. Such was 60 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: the case in court. They're talking about poor Paul. All 61 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: he ever did was preach Jesus Christ and help them 62 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: and minister to them. 63 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: And these other preachers are. 64 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: Seizing a political opportunity to run a smear campaign against 65 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: poor Paul that the NRA would have been envious of. 66 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: That the Democratic Party couldn't even come up with. I mean, 67 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: neither one on the right or the left could do 68 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: any better than these opponents of Paul were doing to 69 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 2: discredit him. And he wants to talk to the church 70 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: that he loves from his heart and set the record straight. 71 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: In other words, he wants them to hear it straight 72 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: from the source. It does make a difference where you 73 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: get your information from. 74 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: It really does. 75 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 2: A strange thing that we live in an age where 76 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: all information is deemed equal because it takes up the 77 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: same amount of space on our timeline, and so we 78 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: don't know whether we're listening to somebody who knows what 79 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: they're talking about, or whether there is a commercialized interest 80 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: that is manipulating the information. It is safe to assume 81 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 2: that most of what we are hearing is diluted, watered down, 82 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: or polluted added to and it's really kind of hard 83 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 2: to even trust what you hear these days. Paul was 84 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: frustrated about that, and in much civil turmoil under oppression, 85 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: not only political oppression, but religious oppression. He writes back 86 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: home to the church, and he wants to tell. 87 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Them not what. 88 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: Others say about his situation, but to allow them to 89 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 2: see the situation and to hear it straight from the source, 90 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: Straight from the source, he says in verse eight, And 91 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: this could be a whole sermon in and of itself. 92 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 2: We do not want you to be ignorant. And he's 93 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: setting us up here a little bit. His assumption is 94 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: that there are some things that we know, that we 95 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 2: think we know, that we don't really know, and some 96 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: things that we need to know. He uses here a 97 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: Greek word, and I wrote it down phonetically, So would 98 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: it mispronounce it for you? Oh, it's translated in my 99 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 2: Bible here ignorant. On the screen, it's translated in a 100 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: more updated version unaware, And it's translated different ways because 101 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 2: it's a difficult concept to pin down. 102 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: Paul is speaking to. 103 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: A group of people who have heard a lot, but 104 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: in spite of all the information that they have received, 105 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 2: they still know very little about the facts. In spite 106 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: of all the access that they have, in spite of 107 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 2: all the blogs that they've read, in spite of all 108 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: the twenty four to seven news stations, what they're hearing 109 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: isn't very true to reality because they're not getting it 110 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: from the source. So he explains the situation, sourcing it 111 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: with the reality, because he doesn't want them to be ignorant. However, Oh, 112 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: does it necessarily mean uninformed? Rather, it means more likely 113 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: given the Greek shade of meeting misinformed. 114 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: Can I teach you a little bit today? 115 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: I figured that you would be excited to hear the 116 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: word of God, because you have to hear everybody else. 117 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: Talk all the time. 118 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: So let's take a little time and talk about the 119 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: word of God. He said, it's not that you haven't 120 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: heard things, or that you have not been exposed to 121 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: statistics that concerns me. It's just that I'm afraid that 122 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: what you're hearing and what you're seeing is so far 123 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: removed from the source that it is not pure in 124 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 2: its essence. And I don't want you to be ignorant. 125 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: Now all ignorant, it says, not created equal. There are 126 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: different levels of dumb. 127 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: Am I right? Am? I right about it? There's an 128 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: innocent ignorance. 129 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: Some things you haven't had the opportunity to learn yet. 130 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: I hate when somebody tries to correct my five year 131 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: old Abby from the way she says certain phrases that 132 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: I think are adorable. 133 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: She's got the rest of her life to get it right. 134 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: Would you shut up and. 135 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: Let my daughter call it a vacuum cleaner. I prefer 136 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: vacuum cleaner. She called a vacuum cleaner the rest of 137 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 2: her life. She's only got a few years to call 138 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: it a vacuum Get off my girl's speech and let 139 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: her say it how she wants to say it. It's cute, 140 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: it's beautiful, it's adorable to me. I like it, and 141 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 2: that's fine. There is another type of ignorance, agne O. 142 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 2: This would be when you have a an indifference that 143 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 2: leads to ignorance you. 144 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: Don't care enough to find. 145 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: Out personally, this is the way I feel about all 146 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: of the people who eat super healthy. They come to 147 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: me and they want to tell me all of the 148 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 2: chemicals that are in my food. And I know it 149 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 2: probably shouldn't address this. There's enough controversy in the world 150 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: today as it is without me adding to it. And 151 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: I know somebody is gonna email me or send me 152 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: a book about the seventeen foods that you're cancer and 153 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 2: the foods that are riding my brain. But I need 154 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: to let you know if the steroids will make the 155 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 2: chicken bigger before Holly fries it. I am for the steroids. 156 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: That might make me a horrible person. I might burn 157 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: in hell for saying this in church, but I. 158 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: Just don't care. 159 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 2: Touch somebody say I just don't care. There are some 160 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: things I just don't care about. I just want to eat. 161 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: I do not care some things. I just got to 162 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: be honest with you. I just don't care. I am 163 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 2: amazed that some of you men with your fantasy football. 164 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: I am amazed how much you know about another man's 165 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 2: ankle and whether or not he's going to play, and 166 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 2: how that is going to affect one hundred dollars that. 167 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: You might win twelve hours a week's studying it. 168 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: You've been at church once in the last six weeks. 169 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: Crazy self, ignorant about the things of God. But you 170 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: can tell me statistics on somebody in some tight pants 171 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 2: around there. 172 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: That's what Paul's talking about. He said, I want you 173 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,599 Speaker 1: to be ignorant. 174 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: I don't want you to be those kinds of Christians 175 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: that just don't care.

You can say a lot of things 221 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: to me, boy, But when you talk about my music, 222 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: I said what He said, Yeah, the music in your 223 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 2: day didn't have loops. 224 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: And I said, well, let's take a little lesson. Do 225 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: you remember, and I gave him some history. Do you 226 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: remember when I took you. 227 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: To see Weird Al Yankovic at Oven's auditorium, and he 228 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: was singing Amish Paradise, that song. 229 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: That you thought was so clever. And then I had 230 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: to let. 231 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: Him know that before there could be an Amish Paradise, 232 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 2: there had to be a coolio. There had to be 233 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 2: a coolio, and so I played him. 234 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: I took him to the source material. But before there 235 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: could be a coolio. 236 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 2: And this is where some of you are ignorant, there 237 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 2: had to be a Stevie, because those strings on Gangster's 238 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 2: Paradise would not have been there without Stevie. Wonder See, 239 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: there's always something before what you enjoy that enabled what 240 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 2: you're a part of. That's why I can't stand people 241 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: who complain about this country who don't even know the 242 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: first thing about the price that was paid for you 243 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: to have the. 244 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: Right to express your opinion that you don't like it. 245 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: Come on, touch three. 246 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 2: People say, get in the know, get in the know, 247 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: Get in the know.

It didn't. It came hard. For 255 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: an ignorant hope is no hope at all. Nothing stable 256 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: about a hope that has its head buried in the sand. 257 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: I hear you, Pastor Rob Parsley. 258 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: Anyone can sing a tune on a clear day at noon, 259 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: God give me a song at midnight. 260 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: That's what Pastor Rob Parsley used to say. I like 261 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: that Paul said, my hope came. 262 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: The hard way, because if you just read verse ten 263 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: of this, it sounds a lot like some kind of 264 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 2: campaign slogan, do you know the slogan and sound by 265 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 2: kind of mentality. 266 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: That people get over time. 267 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: It's when we don't understand the source of our hope 268 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: that we've again to sound kind of silly. And this 269 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: is when people say, well, you Christians, you're just waiting 270 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: on the apocalypse. You Christians. You don't even vote, you 271 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: just pray. It's an ignorant imitation of hope. It's not confidence, 272 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: it's complacency that you don't know. And Paul wants them 273 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: to know. He wants them to know what he went through. 274 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 2: He wants them to know what he's been through and 275 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: when he comes out on the other side. 276 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: You might have known this.

It only means something if you know, 295 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 2: if you know not, if you heard not, if you 296 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 2: thought not, if you. 297 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: Wish I have Oh, he will. 298 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,479 Speaker 2: Deliver us again, you know, so let's make the campaign hats. 299 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: You know, he will deliver us again.

But they were originally intended 578 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 2: for the pilgrims who would make their way. 579 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: To Jerusalem, so they would have a song to sing 580 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: on the way. How many know you need a song 581 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: to sing on. 582 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 2: The way to where you're going, Because Jerusalem, City of 583 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 2: Peace was set in the hills, and the hills represent hope, 584 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 2: but the hills also represent hidden enemies. And when the 585 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 2: Psalmist to say, watch this, I lift my eyes to 586 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 2: the hills, he might have felt like a tenth grader 587 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 2: in a new school, or he might have felt like 588 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 2: a nervous father on election day in America, or he 589 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 2: might have felt like a refugee in another part of 590 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 2: the world that would love to be a part of 591 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 2: our democratic process. But he's on his way somewhere. He's 592 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 2: on a journey, and as he progresses, he lifts his 593 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 2: eyes to the hills, the place where his destination is, 594 00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 2: the place where. 595 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: His piece is, place where his hope is. He's going 596 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: to Jerusalem, and on. 597 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 2: His way he lifts his eyes to the hills, and 598 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 2: he asked a question, from where does my help come? 599 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: Where's it coming from? 600 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 2: Not looking over here, over there, I'm not looking to 601 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 2: the hills or the Donald. 602 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: You get it by Tuesday. I'm looking above all of that. 603 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 2: And I always read the verse like this, the spirit 604 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 2: of the Lord is in this place, thank you there. 605 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: I always looked at it. 606 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 2: Like he was saying, my help comes from the hills, 607 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 2: you know, because God is above and he's a great king. 608 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 2: And when Isaiah saw the Lord and the king, your king, 609 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 2: Usiah died, he was seated on a throne high. 610 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 1: And lifted up. And if funny, he was seated. 611 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,399 Speaker 2: And the year the king died, in the year where 612 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 2: the nation was wondering what to do, God wasn't pacing 613 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 2: the marble floors of heaven wondering what. 614 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 1: He was going to do next. He was still seated. 615 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: I came with an announcement today he's still seated. He's 616 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 1: still seated. Had a vision. 617 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 2: The throne wasn't vacant and the one who sat on 618 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 2: it was seated, so I always thought he was looking up. 619 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,280 Speaker 2: And that's true. You know, our hope is God reigns above. 620 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,240 Speaker 2: Did you know that the same God who reigns above 621 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 2: sustains beneath. And that's why I'm not nervous, he said. 622 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 2: I lift my eyes to the hills. Where does my 623 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 2: help come from? I have hope in the hills, hardship 624 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 2: in the hills, Paul said, I despaired of life, but 625 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 2: I sat my hope. 626 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: Both were happening at the same time. My hope came 627 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,240 Speaker 1: from my hardship. Watched. 628 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 2: This is so powerful. This is so powerful. My hope 629 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 2: comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth. He 630 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 2: will not let your foot be moved. Who are you 631 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 2: talking to? He's talking to himself. He's having a conversation 632 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 2: with himself, telling himself. Don't be nervous. I know you 633 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 2: see what's in those hills, and you imagine what might 634 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 2: be in those hills, and there's boogeymen in those hills, 635 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 2: and there might be real. 636 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: Danger in those hills. But the Lord is your keeper. 637 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: And watch this. 638 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 2: He's not sleeping, He's not asleep. He knows he sees. 639 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 2: He knows. Not one hair of your head falls to 640 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 2: the ground that he doesn't count at, not one sparrow 641 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,720 Speaker 2: falls from the sky, that he doesn't have a funeral. 642 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: He knows. 643 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 2: Next verse, Behold, it's all about what you focus on. 644 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 2: He who keeps the people of God will neither slumber 645 00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:58,720 Speaker 2: nor sleep. 646 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,720 Speaker 1: For the Lord is your keeper. The Lord is your shade. 647 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: For there to be shade, there must be heat. 648 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 2: For there to be hope, there must be hardship, or 649 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 2: else it won't really be hope. How can you know 650 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 2: he will deliver you if you don't know that he can, 651 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 2: And how can you know that he can if there isn't. 652 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 1: An enemy in the hills for you to run to 653 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: him seeking refuge from. 654 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 2: I know, I know you're worried about your teenager. I 655 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 2: know you're worried about the state of things. I know 656 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:31,240 Speaker 2: you're worried.

And this 659 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 2: is what spoke to me. I lift my eyes to 660 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 2: the hills. That means he's above it, and God is 661 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 2: keeping me in, sustaining me. That means he's beneath it, 662 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 2: and he's on my right hand. That means he's beside 663 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 2: me no matter which way it goes. 664 00:40:54,560 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: So I'm not nervous. He's great and he's good. He's big, 665 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: and he's near. He's omnipotent and he's imminent.
