It's through. leave, it's through.
00:05:13.833 --> 00:05:16.769
Leave, it's through. but i found something
00:05:16.836 --> 00:05:17.570
But i found something for the trap.
00:05:17.637 --> 00:05:18.805
For the trap. i found a truth for the trap.
00:05:18.871 --> 00:05:24.110
I found a truth for the trap. for everybody who has been
00:05:24.177 --> 00:05:25.345
For everybody who has been in an i thought,
00:05:25.411 --> 00:05:28.848
In an i thought, and i know you know
00:05:28.915 --> 00:05:29.549
And i know you know the one i'm talking about.
00:05:29.615 --> 00:05:31.684
The one i'm talking about. don't make me start prophesying.
00:05:31.751 --> 00:05:33.152
[laughter]
00:05:33.386 --> 00:05:33.820
The i thought.
00:05:34.554 --> 00:05:36.489
The i thought. the one that starts with you
00:05:36.556 --> 00:05:37.557
The one that starts with you and ends with misery.
00:05:37.623 --> 00:05:38.524
And ends with misery. you know, every thought that
00:05:38.591 --> 00:05:39.158
You know, every thought that starts with me
00:05:39.225 --> 00:05:39.826
Starts with me ends in misery eventually
00:05:39.892 --> 00:05:41.828
Ends in misery eventually if it doesn't involve god?
00:05:41.894 --> 00:05:45.131
If it doesn't involve god? so what i noticed from
00:05:45.198 --> 00:05:46.532
So what i noticed from what i read from
00:05:46.599 --> 00:05:47.033
What i read from brueggemann and some
00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:47.834
Brueggemann and some of the other theologians
00:05:47.900 --> 00:05:49.736
Of the other theologians that i was looking up,
00:05:49.802 --> 00:05:51.270
That i was looking up, he said, "i thought about
00:05:51.337 --> 00:05:52.972
He said, "i thought about the former days
00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:54.507
The former days and i thought it was personal,
00:05:54.574 --> 00:05:56.476
And i thought it was personal, permanent, pervasive.
00:05:56.542 --> 00:05:57.610
Permanent, pervasive. i would ask god to help me
00:05:57.677 --> 00:06:00.279
I would ask god to help me with the problem,
00:06:00.346 --> 00:06:01.047
With the problem, but god was the problem.
00:06:01.114 --> 00:06:03.249
But god was the problem. i didn't know where to go."
00:06:03.316 --> 00:06:06.552
I didn't know where to go." now, i kinda lied to you.
00:06:06.619 --> 00:06:08.921
Now, i kinda lied to you. when i set the sermon up.
00:06:08.988 --> 00:06:10.590
When i set the sermon up. i said i was gonna share a verse
00:06:10.656 --> 00:06:11.791
I said i was gonna share a verse that i read that meant a
00:06:11.858 --> 00:06:12.625
That i read that meant a lot to me right after elijah
00:06:12.692 --> 00:06:13.693
Lot to me right after elijah got out the hospital,
00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:15.361
Got out the hospital, and i am, but it wasn't
00:06:15.428 --> 00:06:16.229
And i am, but it wasn't the one i read you
00:06:16.295 --> 00:06:16.963
The one i read you when i started this sermon.
00:06:17.029 --> 00:06:19.532
When i started this sermon. it's one --
00:06:19.599 --> 00:06:21.567
It's one -- it's a little sniper verse.
00:06:21.634 --> 00:06:26.105
It's a little sniper verse. this is a sniper scripture.
00:06:26.172 --> 00:06:28.741
This is a sniper scripture. it's like you could just
00:06:28.808 --> 00:06:29.542
It's like you could just gloss right over it.
00:06:29.609 --> 00:06:30.476
Gloss right over it. but remember how bad of
00:06:30.543 --> 00:06:31.344
But remember how bad of a state this guy was in?
00:06:31.411 --> 00:06:33.212
A state this guy was in? what's gonna turn it
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:33.713
What's gonna turn it around for you?
00:06:33.780 --> 00:06:34.847
Around for you? what's gonna turn it
00:06:34.914 --> 00:06:35.381
What's gonna turn it around for us?
00:06:35.448 --> 00:06:36.215
Around for us? what's gonna break us out of
00:06:36.282 --> 00:06:38.851
What's gonna break us out of these patterns and traps of
00:06:38.918 --> 00:06:40.186
These patterns and traps of thinking that the devil says,
00:06:40.253 --> 00:06:41.988
Thinking that the devil says, "never, all," -- what's gonna
00:06:42.054 --> 00:06:44.023
"never, all," -- what's gonna break us out of this limited
00:06:44.090 --> 00:06:45.458
View of your situation
00:06:45.558 --> 00:06:46.426
View of your situation that can't find god in it
00:06:46.492 --> 00:06:47.660
That can't find god in it because you have gotten
00:06:47.727 --> 00:06:49.962
Because you have gotten so blurry in the battle?
00:06:50.029 --> 00:06:56.102
So blurry in the battle? and so i told my mom,
00:06:56.169 --> 00:06:57.236
And so i told my mom, i said, "i'm gonna be
00:06:57.303 --> 00:06:57.904
I said, "i'm gonna be reading from psalm 77
00:06:57.970 --> 00:06:59.972
Reading from psalm 77 to preach this week."
00:07:00.039 --> 00:07:01.707
To preach this week." and she likes when i give
00:07:01.774 --> 00:07:02.442
Her a little head start.
00:07:02.542 --> 00:07:04.310
Her a little head start. well, she sent me back
00:07:04.377 --> 00:07:05.011
Well, she sent me back a picture of her bible
00:07:05.077 --> 00:07:06.846
A picture of her bible open to psalm 77.
00:07:06.913 --> 00:07:09.715
Open to psalm 77. she's like, "i already
00:07:09.782 --> 00:07:11.017
She's like, "i already beat you to it, preacher."
00:07:11.083 --> 00:07:11.951
[laughter]
00:07:12.218 --> 00:07:13.920
I'm trying to do her
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:15.488
I'm trying to do her voice when i do that.
00:07:15.555 --> 00:07:16.189
Voice when i do that. "i already beat you," --
00:07:16.255 --> 00:07:16.856
"i already beat you," -- it was a text,
00:07:16.923 --> 00:07:17.356
It was a text, but that's how she would
00:07:17.423 --> 00:07:17.990
But that's how she would have said it if --
00:07:18.057 --> 00:07:20.593
Have said it if -- and i said,
00:07:20.660 --> 00:07:20.960
And i said, "bring that bible
00:07:21.027 --> 00:07:21.394
"bring that bible 'cause i want to
00:07:21.461 --> 00:07:21.894
'cause i want to show you something."
00:07:21.961 --> 00:07:23.463
Show you something." alright, get my camera.
00:07:23.529 --> 00:07:25.631
Alright, get my camera. this psalm, it's not psalm 23.
00:07:25.698 --> 00:07:27.500
This psalm, it's not psalm 23. everybody knows psalm 23,"
00:07:27.567 --> 00:07:28.668
Everybody knows psalm 23," the lord is my shepherd.
00:07:28.734 --> 00:07:29.268
The lord is my shepherd. i shall not want."
00:07:29.335 --> 00:07:30.503
I shall not want." it's a relatively obscure psalm.
00:07:30.570 --> 00:07:32.872
It's a relatively obscure psalm. you see how she
00:07:32.939 --> 00:07:33.473
You see how she had that circled?
00:07:33.539 --> 00:07:35.374
Had that circled? she has that psalm 77
00:07:35.441 --> 00:07:38.077
She has that psalm 77 circled like a serial killer.
00:07:38.144 --> 00:07:39.812
[laughter]
00:07:40.112 --> 00:07:40.646
That's like ahh.
00:07:41.314 --> 00:07:44.417
That's like ahh. and i realized why
00:07:44.484 --> 00:07:45.418
And i realized why she's got it all underlined.
00:07:45.485 --> 00:07:46.586
She's got it all underlined. i said, "bring the bible
00:07:46.652 --> 00:07:47.420
I said, "bring the bible to church.
00:07:47.487 --> 00:07:47.887
To church. i got to show
00:07:47.954 --> 00:07:48.421
I got to show the people something."
00:07:48.488 --> 00:07:50.256
The people something." she was circling everything
00:07:50.323 --> 00:07:52.091
She was circling everything in this bible
00:07:52.158 --> 00:07:53.726
In this bible all the way down to,
00:07:53.793 --> 00:07:56.429
All the way down to, "has his unfailing
00:07:56.496 --> 00:07:57.497
"has his unfailing love vanished forever?
00:07:57.563 --> 00:07:58.331
Love vanished forever? has his promise
00:07:58.397 --> 00:07:58.931
Has his promise failed for all time?"
00:07:58.998 --> 00:08:00.900
Failed for all time?" and then on her bible,
00:08:00.967 --> 00:08:01.868
And then on her bible, that's the part where
00:08:01.934 --> 00:08:03.436
That's the part where that page ends.
00:08:03.503 --> 00:08:05.738
That page ends. i told her i was like,
00:08:05.805 --> 00:08:07.507
I told her i was like, "that's not the best
00:08:07.573 --> 00:08:08.508
"that's not the best part of psalm 77."
00:08:08.574 --> 00:08:11.444
Part of psalm 77." she's like, "yeah,
00:08:11.511 --> 00:08:11.844
She's like, "yeah, that's what i was reading
00:08:11.911 --> 00:08:12.712
That's what i was reading right after your dad died.
00:08:12.778 --> 00:08:13.746
Right after your dad died. thanks a lot."
00:08:13.813 --> 00:08:15.681
Thanks a lot." i said, "you know,
00:08:15.748 --> 00:08:16.182
I said, "you know, that's a good part of
00:08:16.249 --> 00:08:16.849
That's a good part of psalm 77 too, obviously,
00:08:16.916 --> 00:08:18.317
Psalm 77 too, obviously, when you're going
00:08:18.384 --> 00:08:18.818
When you're going through things."
00:08:18.885 --> 00:08:20.887
Through things." but i said,
00:08:20.953 --> 00:08:21.254
But i said, "read the rest and hit me
00:08:21.320 --> 00:08:22.288
"read the rest and hit me a couple hours later."
00:08:22.355 --> 00:08:23.155
A couple hours later." now, my dad died of als.
00:08:23.222 --> 00:08:25.424
Now, my dad died of als. it was over ten years ago
00:08:25.491 --> 00:08:27.994
It was over ten years ago and it was in june of 2013.
00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:32.698
And it was in june of 2013. and this psalm meant
00:08:32.765 --> 00:08:33.766
And this psalm meant a lot to her during that
00:08:33.833 --> 00:08:34.967
A lot to her during that low time of her life.
00:08:35.034 --> 00:08:36.602
Low time of her life. and so, she was reading
00:08:36.669 --> 00:08:37.470
And so, she was reading it like we do,
00:08:37.537 --> 00:08:38.771
It like we do, and we come to this place.
00:08:38.838 --> 00:08:40.606
And we come to this place. i thought it was through
00:08:40.673 --> 00:08:41.440
I thought it was through and she had just
00:08:41.507 --> 00:08:42.174
And she had just lost her husband.
00:08:42.241 --> 00:08:44.277
Lost her husband. she just lost him
00:08:44.343 --> 00:08:44.877
She just lost him after caring for him.
00:08:44.944 --> 00:08:45.978
After caring for him. it was an atrocious,
00:08:46.045 --> 00:08:47.346
It was an atrocious, atrocious disease.
00:08:47.413 --> 00:08:50.750
Atrocious disease. but what i want to show her
00:08:50.816 --> 00:08:51.884
But what i want to show her and you today from psalm 77
00:08:51.951 --> 00:08:56.989
And you today from psalm 77 is in verse 10.
00:08:57.056 --> 00:08:58.591
Is in verse 10. may this change your life.
00:08:58.658 --> 00:09:01.694
May this change your life. may this break your pattern.
00:09:01.761 --> 00:09:03.963
May this break your pattern. may this bring you
00:09:04.030 --> 00:09:05.298
May this bring you out of the trap
00:09:05.364 --> 00:09:06.132
Out of the trap 'cause he said i was stuck
00:09:06.198 --> 00:09:08.034
'cause he said i was stuck in a i thought, watch this,
00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:10.069
"then i thought."
00:09:10.169 --> 00:09:14.240
"then i thought." that's the whole sermon.
00:09:14.307 --> 00:09:15.875
That's the whole sermon. then i thought.
00:09:15.942 --> 00:09:18.945
Then i thought. circle it on the screen, justin.
00:09:19.011 --> 00:09:20.646
Circle it on the screen, justin. "then i thought."
00:09:20.713 --> 00:09:23.149
"then i thought." no circle,
00:09:23.215 --> 00:09:23.649
No circle, "then i thought."
00:09:23.716 --> 00:09:24.951
[laughter]
00:09:25.084 --> 00:09:25.284
'cause the first thought
00:09:25.785 --> 00:09:27.320
'cause the first thought wasn't the right thought.
00:09:27.386 --> 00:09:28.988
Wasn't the right thought. "then i thought."
00:09:29.055 --> 00:09:31.657
"then i thought." i thought, i thought,
00:09:31.724 --> 00:09:33.826
I thought, i thought, i thought, and i got stuck
00:09:33.893 --> 00:09:35.895
In a loop of i thoughts.
00:09:35.995 --> 00:09:38.464
In a loop of i thoughts. then i thought.
00:09:38.531 --> 00:09:40.866
Then i thought. verse 10 is the hinge
00:09:40.933 --> 00:09:42.935
Where everything changes
00:09:43.035 --> 00:09:44.170
Where everything changes for this psalmist.
00:09:44.236 --> 00:09:45.638
For this psalmist. verse 10 is the hinge
00:09:45.705 --> 00:09:47.039
Verse 10 is the hinge where everything can
00:09:47.106 --> 00:09:47.807
Where everything can change for you and i.
00:09:47.873 --> 00:09:49.375
Change for you and i. verse 10 is the hinge that
00:09:49.442 --> 00:09:51.177
Verse 10 is the hinge that depression doesn't want
00:09:51.243 --> 00:09:52.244
Depression doesn't want you to know about.
00:09:52.311 --> 00:09:53.546
You to know about. verse 10 is the hinge that
00:09:53.613 --> 00:09:55.381
Verse 10 is the hinge that the devil wants
00:09:55.448 --> 00:09:56.282
The devil wants to hide and delete
00:09:56.349 --> 00:09:57.183
To hide and delete off of your bible app.
00:09:57.249 --> 00:09:58.818
Off of your bible app. verse 10 is the hinge that
00:09:58.884 --> 00:10:00.286
The devil doesn't want you
00:10:00.386 --> 00:10:01.287
The devil doesn't want you to turn to because after
00:10:01.354 --> 00:10:02.989
To turn to because after all of that which is real,
00:10:03.055 --> 00:10:04.991
All of that which is real, after all of that
00:10:05.057 --> 00:10:06.359
After all of that which is a part of being you,
00:10:06.425 --> 00:10:08.194
Which is a part of being you, after all of that,
00:10:08.260 --> 00:10:09.895
After all of that, i thought it was through.
00:10:09.962 --> 00:10:12.064
I thought it was through. after all of that,
00:10:12.131 --> 00:10:13.332
He says, "then i thought."
00:10:13.432 --> 00:10:17.470
He says, "then i thought." let's see what he thought next.
00:10:17.536 --> 00:10:19.772
Let's see what he thought next. "to this i will appeal
00:10:19.839 --> 00:10:22.408
"to this i will appeal the years when the most high
00:10:22.475 --> 00:10:23.843
The years when the most high stretched out his right hand.
00:10:23.909 --> 00:10:26.646
Stretched out his right hand. i will remember
00:10:26.712 --> 00:10:27.380
I will remember the deeds of the lord.
00:10:27.446 --> 00:10:29.248
The deeds of the lord. yes, i will remember your

Go back to verse 10. "then i thought.

"then i thought. to this i will appeal
00:10:41.694 --> 00:10:43.329
To this i will appeal the years when the most high
00:10:43.396 --> 00:10:44.664
The years when the most high stretched out his right hand."
00:10:44.730 --> 00:10:47.366
Stretched out his right hand." go back to verse 2.
00:10:47.433 --> 00:10:49.001
Go back to verse 2. when we started with these
00:10:49.068 --> 00:10:50.136
When we started with these i thoughts, he was saying,
00:10:50.202 --> 00:10:51.904
I thoughts, he was saying, "when i was in distress,
00:10:51.971 --> 00:10:52.972
"when i was in distress, i sought the lord.
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:54.440
I sought the lord. at night, i stretched
00:10:54.507 --> 00:10:55.941
At night, i stretched out untiring hands."
00:10:56.008 --> 00:10:59.011
Out untiring hands." who stretched out?
00:10:59.078 --> 00:11:00.713
Who stretched out? i stretched out.
00:11:00.780 --> 00:11:02.782
I stretched out. i can't do this much longer.
00:11:02.848 --> 00:11:06.452
I don't care how many anterior
00:11:06.552 --> 00:11:08.454
I don't care how many anterior raises you do in the gym
00:11:08.521 --> 00:11:09.889
Raises you do in the gym for your shoulders.
00:11:09.955 --> 00:11:11.357
For your shoulders. you can only do this so long.
00:11:11.424 --> 00:11:13.793
You can only do this so long. and is it possible that
00:11:13.859 --> 00:11:16.028
And is it possible that the reason you are so faint
00:11:16.095 --> 00:11:18.531
The reason you are so faint in your faith
00:11:18.597 --> 00:11:19.465
In your faith and so weary in your worship
00:11:19.532 --> 00:11:21.734
And so weary in your worship and so discouraged
00:11:21.801 --> 00:11:23.002
And so discouraged about your destiny
00:11:23.069 --> 00:11:24.770
About your destiny and the reason that you think
00:11:24.837 --> 00:11:26.238
And the reason that you think that it's through
00:11:26.305 --> 00:11:27.440
That it's through is because you have
00:11:27.506 --> 00:11:28.607
Is because you have been so focused on this.
00:11:28.674 --> 00:11:31.077
Been so focused on this. god, i can't give anymore.
00:11:31.143 --> 00:11:32.712
God, i can't give anymore. i can't do anymore.
00:11:32.778 --> 00:11:34.146
I can't do anymore. i already feel so stretched.
00:11:34.213 --> 00:11:36.115
I already feel so stretched. god, i feel so empty.
00:11:36.182 --> 00:11:37.750
God, i feel so empty. i feel so unseen.
00:11:37.817 --> 00:11:39.518
I feel so unseen. i feel so uncelebrated.
00:11:39.585 --> 00:11:41.754
I feel so uncelebrated. i keep stretching out my hands.
00:11:41.821 --> 00:11:43.622
I keep stretching out my hands. i keep putting myself forth.
00:11:43.689 --> 00:11:45.658
I keep putting myself forth. i keep taking my next step,
00:11:45.725 --> 00:11:47.593
I keep taking my next step, but you're not there.
00:11:47.660 --> 00:11:49.228
But you're not there. "then," verse 10.
00:11:49.295 --> 00:11:50.696
"then," verse 10. "then," verse 10.
00:11:50.763 --> 00:11:52.131

"then i thought." i'm gonna appeal
00:11:53.999 --> 00:11:54.934
I'm gonna appeal to a higher court.
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.203
To a higher court. instead of thinking about
00:11:57.269 --> 00:11:58.504
Instead of thinking about how i'm doing this,
00:11:58.571 --> 00:12:00.806
How i'm doing this, let me think about the years
00:12:00.873 --> 00:12:03.209
Let me think about the years when god stretched his hand.
00:12:03.275 --> 00:12:07.179
When god stretched his hand. and when i start thinking about
00:12:07.246 --> 00:12:08.814
And when i start thinking about how he stretched his hand,
00:12:08.881 --> 00:12:11.784
And i forget about my hands,
00:12:11.884 --> 00:12:14.920
And i forget about my hands, suddenly my hands go up
00:12:14.987 --> 00:12:16.789
Suddenly my hands go up in worship 'cause i remember
00:12:16.856 --> 00:12:20.092
In worship 'cause i remember that the battle is not mine,
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.362
That the battle is not mine, but it belongs to the lord.
00:12:23.429 --> 00:12:26.332

I was very focused on all the reasons
00:13:10.976 --> 00:13:11.944
All the reasons i had not to go forward.

The deeds of god. he lists them off

He lists them off and rattles them off
00:13:35.134 --> 00:13:36.569
And rattles them off 'cause he said,
00:13:36.635 --> 00:13:37.236

Unless i had believed that i would see
00:14:37.363 --> 00:14:40.432
That i would see the goodness of the lord
00:14:40.499 --> 00:14:43.802

Why didn't i see god's footprints?
00:16:11.290 --> 00:16:12.758
God's footprints? 'cause he was working with
00:16:12.825 --> 00:16:14.026
His hand at a higher level.
00:16:14.126 --> 00:16:16.595

So he could drown egyptians that were chasing me
00:16:22.968 --> 00:16:24.670
That were chasing me and trying to bring me
00:16:24.737 --> 00:16:25.704
And trying to bring me back into captivity.

Think it through. you just keep thinking
00:16:31.810 --> 00:16:32.611
You just keep thinking the same, "i thoughts."
00:16:32.678 --> 00:16:34.947
The same, "i thoughts." and you're like,
00:16:35.014 --> 00:16:35.447
And you're like, "i do think it through.

You -- just because you think it again,
00:16:38.784 --> 00:16:39.918
You think it again, doesn't mean you
00:16:39.985 --> 00:16:40.285
Doesn't mean you thought it through.
00:16:40.352 --> 00:16:40.753
[applause]
00:16:41.020 --> 00:16:48.060
You underthinker you.
00:16:48.394 --> 00:16:51.797
You underthinker you. you think like this,
00:16:51.864 --> 00:16:53.332
You think like this, "oh well, the devil's
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:54.266
"oh well, the devil's attacking me.
00:16:54.333 --> 00:16:55.034
Attacking me. i guess god's not with me."
00:16:55.100 --> 00:16:57.236
What if you thought
00:16:57.336 --> 00:16:58.404
What if you thought that through?
00:16:58.470 --> 00:17:00.739
That through? god must be so with me.
00:17:00.806 --> 00:17:05.544
God must be so with me. this is how you
00:17:05.611 --> 00:17:06.145
This is how you think it through.
00:17:06.211 --> 00:17:08.580
Think it through. god -- went, i went to
00:17:08.647 --> 00:17:10.783
God -- went, i went to my in-laws' 50th
00:17:10.849 --> 00:17:11.417
My in-laws' 50th wedding anniversary
00:17:11.483 --> 00:17:13.986
The other day.
00:17:14.086 --> 00:17:14.553
The other day. clap your hands for that.
00:17:14.620 --> 00:17:15.687
[applause]
00:17:15.921 --> 00:17:17.790
And it survived betrayal,
00:17:19.191 --> 00:17:21.160
And it survived betrayal, and it survived addiction,
00:17:21.226 --> 00:17:23.028
And it survived addiction, and it survived special needs.
00:17:23.095 --> 00:17:26.031
And it survived special needs. and there were times where they
00:17:26.098 --> 00:17:27.066
And there were times where they thought it wouldn't make it.
00:17:27.132 --> 00:17:28.934
Thought it wouldn't make it. then i thought.
00:17:29.001 --> 00:17:31.103
Then i thought. the challenge is you can't
00:17:31.170 --> 00:17:32.337
The challenge is you can't see the path in the present.
00:17:32.404 --> 00:17:36.075
See the path in the present. it's only in retrospect
00:17:36.141 --> 00:17:37.676
It's only in retrospect that the red sea
00:17:37.743 --> 00:17:38.577
That the red sea looks like a blessing.
00:17:38.644 --> 00:17:41.346
Looks like a blessing. i'll show you what i mean.
00:17:41.413 --> 00:17:42.915
I'll show you what i mean. go to exodus 14.
00:17:42.981 --> 00:17:44.883
Go to exodus 14. when the israelites
00:17:44.950 --> 00:17:45.717
When the israelites came up on the red sea.
00:17:45.784 --> 00:17:46.685
Came up on the red sea. you know the story?
00:17:46.752 --> 00:17:48.353
You know the story? you know the story?
00:17:48.420 --> 00:17:49.855
You know the story? they came up on the red sea.
00:17:49.922 --> 00:17:50.789
They came up on the red sea. they were leaving egypt,
00:17:50.856 --> 00:17:51.523
They were leaving egypt, they had been slaves
00:17:51.590 --> 00:17:52.324
They had been slaves for 430 years
00:17:52.391 --> 00:17:53.592
For 430 years and god was leading them out.
00:17:53.659 --> 00:17:54.393
And god was leading them out. they were happy.
00:17:54.460 --> 00:17:55.194
They were happy. they're ready to dance.
00:17:55.260 --> 00:17:55.861
They're ready to dance. they even packed
00:17:55.928 --> 00:17:57.029
They even packed their tambourines.
00:17:57.096 --> 00:17:58.230
Their tambourines. and as the tambourines are
00:17:58.297 --> 00:17:59.231
And as the tambourines are jingling in their suitcase,
00:17:59.298 --> 00:18:00.999
Jingling in their suitcase, oh no, here comes trouble.
00:18:01.066 --> 00:18:02.501
Oh no, here comes trouble. what is the sound of
00:18:02.568 --> 00:18:03.302
What is the sound of that very high pitch?
00:18:03.368 --> 00:18:04.670
That very high pitch? it doesn't sound
00:18:04.736 --> 00:18:05.037
It doesn't sound like a tambourine.
00:18:05.104 --> 00:18:06.105
Like a tambourine. it's an egyptian chariot.
00:18:06.171 --> 00:18:07.573
It's an egyptian chariot. oh no, the egyptians
00:18:07.639 --> 00:18:08.674
Oh no, the egyptians are coming after us.
00:18:08.740 --> 00:18:09.842
Are coming after us. so watch what they thought,
00:18:09.908 --> 00:18:11.376
So watch what they thought, because i'm trying to get you
00:18:11.443 --> 00:18:12.277
Because i'm trying to get you to see that you might be wrong.
00:18:12.344 --> 00:18:16.115
To see that you might be wrong. you might think the attack
00:18:16.181 --> 00:18:17.349
You might think the attack means it's through.
00:18:17.416 --> 00:18:19.251
Means it's through. that's an i thought.
00:18:19.318 --> 00:18:20.619
That's an i thought. they thought, watch this,
00:18:20.686 --> 00:18:21.720
They thought, watch this, exodus 14.
00:18:21.787 --> 00:18:23.288
The lord said to moses,
00:18:23.388 --> 00:18:24.890
The lord said to moses, "stretch your hand over the sea
00:18:24.957 --> 00:18:25.791
"stretch your hand over the sea that the waters may go back over
00:18:25.858 --> 00:18:26.658
That the waters may go back over the egyptians and their
00:18:26.725 --> 00:18:27.493
The egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:28.293
Chariots and horsemen. moses stretched
00:18:28.360 --> 00:18:28.694
Moses stretched his hand over the sea.
00:18:28.760 --> 00:18:29.761
His hand over the sea. and at daybreak.
00:18:29.828 --> 00:18:30.195
And at daybreak. the egyptians are fleeing
00:18:30.262 --> 00:18:30.762
The egyptians are fleeing toward it and the lord
00:18:30.829 --> 00:18:31.330
Toward it and the lord swept them into the sea."
00:18:31.396 --> 00:18:32.030
Swept them into the sea." oh, so the israelites
00:18:32.097 --> 00:18:32.931
Oh, so the israelites didn't die,
00:18:32.998 --> 00:18:33.332
Didn't die, the egyptians did.
00:18:33.398 --> 00:18:34.199
The egyptians did. go to verse 28.
00:18:34.266 --> 00:18:35.634
Go to verse 28. "the water flowed back
00:18:35.701 --> 00:18:36.235
"the water flowed back and covered all
00:18:36.301 --> 00:18:36.802
And covered all the chariots and horsemen."
00:18:36.869 --> 00:18:38.737
The chariots and horsemen." now that all sounds
00:18:38.804 --> 00:18:40.005
Now that all sounds so wonderful.
00:18:40.072 --> 00:18:40.539
God drowned their
00:18:40.639 --> 00:18:41.140
God drowned their enemies, right?
00:18:41.206 --> 00:18:41.607
Enemies, right? and i know i'm rushing this.
00:18:41.673 --> 00:18:42.341
And i know i'm rushing this. i don't have time.
00:18:42.407 --> 00:18:43.108
I don't have time. you gon' come back next week
00:18:43.175 --> 00:18:43.909
You gon' come back next week for part two of this?
00:18:43.976 --> 00:18:44.710
For part two of this? >> congregation: yes.
00:18:44.776 --> 00:18:45.144
[cheering and applause]
00:18:45.444 --> 00:18:47.346
But what's crazy to me
00:18:47.579 --> 00:18:48.914
But what's crazy to me about this scripture
00:18:48.981 --> 00:18:50.916
About this scripture is the scripture says that
00:18:50.983 --> 00:18:52.885
Is the scripture says that when they got to the edge of
00:18:52.951 --> 00:18:54.887
When they got to the edge of their escape route
00:18:54.953 --> 00:18:56.655
Their escape route in exodus 14:11,
00:18:56.722 --> 00:19:05.531
They said to moses,
00:19:05.631 --> 00:19:07.766
They said to moses, "was it because there
00:19:07.833 --> 00:19:08.901
"was it because there were no graves in egypt
00:19:08.967 --> 00:19:10.302
Were no graves in egypt that you brought us
00:19:10.369 --> 00:19:10.869
That you brought us to the desert to die."
00:19:10.936 --> 00:19:15.207
To the desert to die." they thought that water
00:19:15.274 --> 00:19:16.275
They thought that water was gonna kill them.
00:19:16.341 --> 00:19:19.811
That's what they thought.
00:19:19.912 --> 00:19:22.481
That's what they thought. now look at chapter 15:1,
00:19:22.548 --> 00:19:24.816
Now look at chapter 15:1, when they got to the other side
00:19:24.883 --> 00:19:27.486
When they got to the other side and the egyptians were all dead
00:19:27.553 --> 00:19:28.320
And the egyptians were all dead behind them in the thing they
00:19:28.387 --> 00:19:29.054
Behind them in the thing they thought was gonna kill them.
00:19:29.121 --> 00:19:30.689
Thought was gonna kill them. exodus 15:1.
00:19:30.756 --> 00:19:32.491
Exodus 15:1. exodus 15:1.
00:19:32.558 --> 00:19:35.861
And circle the word, "then
00:19:35.961 --> 00:19:38.397
And circle the word, "then moses and the israelites
00:19:38.463 --> 00:19:40.599
Moses and the israelites sang this song to the lord,
00:19:40.666 --> 00:19:41.800
Sang this song to the lord, "i will sing to the lord."
00:19:41.867 --> 00:19:43.035
"i will sing to the lord." that's fine.
00:19:43.101 --> 00:19:44.670
That's fine. but you gotta sing
00:19:44.736 --> 00:19:45.537
That same song
00:19:45.637 --> 00:19:46.071
That same song on the other side
00:19:46.138 --> 00:19:48.207
On the other side so you can get through this.
00:19:48.273 --> 00:19:49.541
[applause]
00:19:49.708 --> 00:19:53.412
Somebody say, "then i thought."
00:19:53.879 --> 00:19:55.380
Somebody say, "then i thought." >> congregation: then i thought.
00:19:55.447 --> 00:19:56.748
>> congregation: then i thought. >> it is the hinge of
00:19:56.815 --> 00:19:58.016
>> it is the hinge of the scripture for
00:19:58.083 --> 00:19:58.951
The scripture for the people of god.
00:19:59.017 --> 00:20:00.352
The people of god. they remembered their exodus.
00:20:00.419 --> 00:20:01.653
They remembered their exodus. this deliverance motif sets
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:03.222
This deliverance motif sets the entire story for jesus,
00:20:03.288 --> 00:20:05.390
The entire story for jesus, who would be the greater moses,
00:20:05.457 --> 00:20:06.992
Who would be the greater moses, who would bring us out
00:20:07.059 --> 00:20:07.793
Who would bring us out of the slavery to sin.
00:20:07.859 --> 00:20:09.061
Of the slavery to sin. it's all set up here.
00:20:09.127 --> 00:20:10.395
It's all set up here. and the psalmist is
00:20:10.462 --> 00:20:11.263
And the psalmist is looking back and saying,
00:20:11.330 --> 00:20:12.464
Looking back and saying, "when i could not see
00:20:12.531 --> 00:20:13.765
"when i could not see your footprints,
00:20:13.832 --> 00:20:15.968
Your footprints, i remembered that your hand
00:20:16.034 --> 00:20:17.069
I remembered that your hand was working in the night."
00:20:17.135 --> 00:20:18.170
[applause]
00:20:18.437 --> 00:20:21.106
And you've been looking
00:20:21.807 --> 00:20:22.307
And you've been looking at the wrong level.
00:20:22.374 --> 00:20:24.676
At the wrong level. and you have been thinking
00:20:24.743 --> 00:20:25.477
And you have been thinking at the wrong level.
00:20:25.544 --> 00:20:27.546
At the wrong level. and god's thoughts are
00:20:27.613 --> 00:20:29.047
And god's thoughts are not our thoughts,
00:20:29.114 --> 00:20:30.916
Not our thoughts, and his ways are not our ways.
00:20:30.983 --> 00:20:34.419
And his ways are not our ways. and what if the attack
00:20:34.486 --> 00:20:35.687
And what if the attack that is against you
00:20:35.754 --> 00:20:36.521
Is actually sent
00:20:36.622 --> 00:20:37.356
Is actually sent to remind you how valuable
00:20:37.422 --> 00:20:38.924
To remind you how valuable what you carry actually is?
00:20:38.991 --> 00:20:41.627
What you carry actually is? think it through.
00:20:41.693 --> 00:20:43.762
Think it through. think it through.
00:20:43.829 --> 00:20:44.896
Think it through. the devil is not omnipresent.
00:20:44.963 --> 00:20:47.065
The devil is not omnipresent. the devil does not have
00:20:47.132 --> 00:20:47.933
The devil does not have unlimited ammunition.
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.002
Unlimited ammunition. so if there is an attack
00:20:50.068 --> 00:20:51.036
So if there is an attack against your life,
00:20:51.103 --> 00:20:52.237
If there is an attack
00:20:52.337 --> 00:20:53.071
If there is an attack against your family,
00:20:53.138 --> 00:20:54.339
Against your family, if there is an attack
00:20:54.406 --> 00:20:55.040
If there is an attack against your mind,
00:20:55.107 --> 00:20:56.708
Against your mind, there is something
00:20:56.775 --> 00:20:57.676
There is something in your future
00:20:57.743 --> 00:20:58.377
In your future that hell has recognized.
00:20:58.443 --> 00:21:00.379
That hell has recognized. think it through.
00:21:00.445 --> 00:21:01.213
Think it through. what is it?
00:21:01.280 --> 00:21:03.215
What is it? what is it that hell knows
00:21:03.282 --> 00:21:04.683
What is it that hell knows about my family that
00:21:04.750 --> 00:21:06.118
About my family that i forgot about my family?
00:21:06.184 --> 00:21:08.387
I forgot about my family? then i thought it through.
00:21:08.453 --> 00:21:09.721
[applause]
00:21:10.022 --> 00:21:14.192
And even more,
00:21:15.227 --> 00:21:17.796
And even more, what is it that god knows
00:21:17.863 --> 00:21:19.064
What is it that god knows i need to learn that he would
00:21:19.131 --> 00:21:20.332
I need to learn that he would let me go through this.
00:21:20.399 --> 00:21:23.302
Let me go through this. and if you really want to
00:21:23.368 --> 00:21:24.503
And if you really want to get out of the i thought,
00:21:24.569 --> 00:21:26.772
Get out of the i thought, what is it that
00:21:26.838 --> 00:21:27.272
What is it that he's going to use this
00:21:27.339 --> 00:21:28.307
He's going to use this for in somebody else's life?
00:21:28.373 --> 00:21:31.677
For in somebody else's life? did i really suffer this much
00:21:31.743 --> 00:21:33.312
Did i really suffer this much to stay silent about
00:21:33.378 --> 00:21:34.713
To stay silent about what he taught me as a student?
00:21:34.780 --> 00:21:40.452
What he taught me as a student? so the word of the lord is
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:43.055
So the word of the lord is think it through,
00:21:43.121 --> 00:21:45.424
Think it through, think it through.
00:21:45.490 --> 00:21:47.859
Think it through. it never comes like you
00:21:47.926 --> 00:21:48.860
It never comes like you thought it would come,
00:21:48.927 --> 00:21:50.796
Thought it would come, not when it comes from god.
00:21:50.862 --> 00:21:53.432
Not when it comes from god. because if it came like you
00:21:53.498 --> 00:21:54.266
Because if it came like you thought it would come,
00:21:54.333 --> 00:21:54.866
Thought it would come, then your thoughts would be god.
00:21:54.933 --> 00:21:58.870
Then your thoughts would be god. and he says, "my ways are
00:21:58.937 --> 00:21:59.705
And he says, "my ways are not your ways,
00:21:59.771 --> 00:22:00.472
Not your ways, neither are my thoughts
00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:01.340
Neither are my thoughts your thoughts."
00:22:01.406 --> 00:22:03.408
Your thoughts." and it just blessed me
00:22:03.475 --> 00:22:04.376
And it just blessed me to think about all
00:22:04.443 --> 00:22:05.043
To think about all of the people in here
00:22:05.110 --> 00:22:07.279
Of the people in here who, instead of giving up
00:22:07.346 --> 00:22:09.881
Who, instead of giving up on this pursuit of jesus,
00:22:09.948 --> 00:22:11.216
On this pursuit of jesus, instead of giving up
00:22:11.283 --> 00:22:12.617
Instead of giving up on your purity,
00:22:12.684 --> 00:22:13.352
On your purity, instead of giving up
00:22:13.418 --> 00:22:14.586
Instead of giving up on the impact god
00:22:14.653 --> 00:22:15.187
On the impact god has called you to make,
