<v Speaker 1>I was I left the house with a b game

10
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I better turn around.

11
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 2>I'll have that in the closet, dusted it off right

12
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 2>right to go.

13
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>So here it is today. I'm Chris, this is Jeff,

14
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>and we are the Bible Guys, and today we're launching

15
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>into a segment, or next not a segment, a series,

16
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 1>and it is called God's Presence and Nearness.

17
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 2>How cool is that?

18
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So the whole week we're talking about how God

19
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>is near us and God is promised to be with us,

20
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>but in different contexts of our lives. So it's uh,

21
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and then next week can be a little different. But

22
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 1>it's this idea that that we're we're banking on the

23
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>promises that are given in different contexts. So we got

24
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>to come up with the name of it. What is

25
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>it called unshaken? Is that what you called it? Unshakable?

26
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, I just think it's it's our fifty favorite promises

27
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>of God.

28
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, how about that fifty.

29
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Favorites, fifty favorite promises of God.

30
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>That kind of like that fifty favorite which means ten weeks.

31
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's five weeks.

32
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh, five weeks?

33
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 2>Is that five weeks? Is that what we're doing? Ten weeks?

34
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>What depends on how many promises per day? Per day?

35
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 2>That's true? Yeah, yeah, because it's about just our favorite

36
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>promises of God TVD TVD.

37
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 1>All right, very cool. Okay, so so today before we

38
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 1>dive into that, we have a segment, and today is unusual.

39
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>We haven't done this too much. We've done it once

40
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>or twice before. But Desiree wants us to do Google

41
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Translate karaoke. Okay, Jeff will run through excuse me, He'll

42
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>run lyrics through multiple Google Translate languages, then read or

43
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 1>sing or sing, Jeff, there's an option for you.

44
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not singing.

45
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 1>No. Look it says no, it says Then Jeff will

46
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 1>read or sing the garbled result to see if Chris

47
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 1>can figure out what the actual song is.

48
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, yeah, I'm not singing it. I'll read it.

49
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>She's throwing the option. She is for you to sing.

50
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>I hear the option.

51
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>However, you know that all of our listeners want you

52
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>to sing.

53
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I know they do. Yeah yeah, but see what we'll

54
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 2>do once you do it?

55
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Right now?

56
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>Happened right now? They will never get this feeling back

57
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 2>if I sing, if I sing well, and they never

58
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 2>get back the desire for it, saying it just goes away.

59
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 1>Sing a sentence or it just goes away. So no,

60
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>because they've heard you sing, they just want you to

61
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:52.479
<v Speaker 1>sing more.

62
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So you can't claim it.

63
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>You can't claim that because they've heard you sing something.

64
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>M hm.

65
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>So sorry about this.

66
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 2>This is never gonna work.

67
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we'll try it again, or just try it. We'll

68
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>see how it goes, even if it's a failure. Let's

69

79
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.919
<v Speaker 2>I know it's kind of a surprising one.

80
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Is that what we're supposed to do, is that the assignment?

81
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>I read multiple languages. Yes, I ran through language. I

82
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 2>chose a song, I ran it through the language. Then

83
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I just read the lyrics to you. But I don't

84
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 2>speak any of these languages. So yeah, so that's why

85
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:56.879
<v Speaker 2>I chose that was a chorus.

86
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Can you do it through Spanish? Because I know a

87
00:03:58.439 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 1>little Spanish?

88
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I will and minute, but not in this song.

00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to do an accent too.

139
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:26.519

<v Speaker 2>just never wiser. Midnight's become afternoons. My depression works. The

171
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.720
<v Speaker 2>graveyard chief, all the people have ghosted. Stand there in

172
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 2>the room. Well, I don't know this In English, it's

173
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:35.200
<v Speaker 2>are you serious?

174
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 1>I said us a song that I know.

175
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.159
<v Speaker 2>You should have known it. It's Anti Hero by Taylor Swift.

176
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:41.519
<v Speaker 2>It's her biggest selling song.

177
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, listen, I.

178
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 2>May like I may every Taylor Swift song.

179
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.600
<v Speaker 1>No, this is this is not even close. So this

180
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>is not this is not close to the truth. Okay,

181
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.639
<v Speaker 1>I know about seven Taylor Swift songs.

182
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so what I chosen? I like Lady Gaga. Chef

183
00:08:58.679 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 2>chosen Lady Gaga.

184
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 1>I like her, but but I only went to see

185
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:02.120
<v Speaker 1>her in concert because she was.

186
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Okay, so it's gonna have to be like Broadway. Now,

187
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 2>listen Broadway song. If you if you would have chosen.

188
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Any Carrie Underwood song, if you'd have chosen any Mariah

189
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.519
<v Speaker 1>Carey song of the early days, or if you would

190
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 1>have chosen classic you know.

191
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, that's not me. That's not me trying to

192
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 2>think of I'm trying to think of time from the eighties.

193
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, Whitney Houston songs. You don't know Guns and

194
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Roses songs. I would have What is wrong with you?

195
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I would have? No, I I know.

196
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm just thinking of female artists. Okay, because you

197
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.840
<v Speaker 2>chose Taylor Swift. Okay, I see, I know every Sight

198
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 2>t Win song, Okay, every Shania twice. Well, they'll keep

199
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.559
<v Speaker 2>that in my on my list next time. Okay, Hey,

200
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:44.919
<v Speaker 2>we've killed that one, so let's move on. Yeah, yeah,

201
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:45.720
<v Speaker 2>that was awful.

202
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:47.399
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna bury it. Move on.

203
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're gonna kill that when I move on. So

204
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.679
<v Speaker 2>we are in this whole thing.

205
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>By the way, speaking of speaking of kill, these promises

206
00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 1>slay today.

207
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there's your transition. So we are in the Book

208
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>of Hebrews and we're talking about the promises of God

209
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.639
<v Speaker 2>and these are some of our favorite promises, right, And

210
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it's really important for Christians because a lot

211
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.879
<v Speaker 2>of Christians have a lot of anxiety and struggle with

212
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.519
<v Speaker 2>their faith, mostly because they don't know what God's promised.

213
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>And God can't lie, right, Yeah, So when he gives

214
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:25.759
<v Speaker 2>you a promise, he's going to keep that promise. Most

215
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 2>of his promises are if then promises, but he makes

216
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.679
<v Speaker 2>a promise, he'll keep his promise. And so we just thought, hey,

217
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:34.720
<v Speaker 2>let's take some time to go through as many the

218
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:36.799
<v Speaker 2>promises of God as we can. And this week, really

219
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 2>the promises of God that we're talking about kind of

220
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 2>cluster on the idea of his presence in our life.

221
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.399
<v Speaker 1>Right, do you really think most are if then promises?

222
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I know there are a lot of if then promises.

223
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but they are. But I did the work, did you, Yeah, Yeah,

224
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.519
<v Speaker 2>there's more that are if then, there's qualifiers to most

225
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.879
<v Speaker 2>of God's promises. He doesn't just say, hey, I'm going

226
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.240
<v Speaker 2>to make all your wildest dreams come true. It gets

227
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 2>you draw near to me, then I will draw near

228
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:00.879
<v Speaker 2>to you.

229
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm only asking about the quantity.

230
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like fifty Yeah, most joys, most of the promises

231
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:12.159
<v Speaker 2>in the Bible are are connected to a an obedience component.

232
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 2>If you do this, then I'll.

233
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Overwhelmingly overwhelmingly really yes, I would not have guessed that.

234
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Huh yeah, wow, okay.

235
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're always connected to a thing, right, So like

236
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.600
<v Speaker 2>today is connected to a thing. Yeah, right, so they're

237
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.559
<v Speaker 2>they're they're always connected to Hey, listen, I'm telling you

238
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 2>how the best way is to live. So live this

239
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.039
<v Speaker 2>way and then I'll bless you like this. And that's

240
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>that's that's how he always always does it. So and

241
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.480
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, let's just read this. We're going to read

242
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 2>in Hebrews chapter thirteen. This is the last chapter. So

243
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.000
<v Speaker 2>this kind of closing out the book. These are the

244
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>concluding words. It says, keep on loving each other as

245
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>brothers and sisters. Don't forget the show hospitality to strangers,

246
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.360
<v Speaker 2>for some have done this. Some who have done this

247
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.279
<v Speaker 2>have entertained angels without realizing it. That's kind of a

248
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:02.399
<v Speaker 2>neat idea. Remember in prison as if they were yourself,

249
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.279
<v Speaker 2>if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated,

250
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.159
<v Speaker 2>as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.

251
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another

252
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.200
<v Speaker 2>in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral

253
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.679
<v Speaker 2>and those committed altery. Then he says, don't love money.

254
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Be satisfied with what you have, for God has said,

255
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.639
<v Speaker 2>I will never leave you, I will never abandon you,

256
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:25.639
<v Speaker 2>I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.

257
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.399
<v Speaker 2>So we can say with confidence, the Lord is my helper,

258
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.879
<v Speaker 2>so I will have no fear. What can mirror people

259
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.320
<v Speaker 2>do to me? Remember your leaders who taught you the

260
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 2>word of God. Think of all the good that has

261
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.399
<v Speaker 2>come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith.

262
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. So

263
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.960
<v Speaker 2>do not be attracted by strange new ideas. Your strength

264
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.200
<v Speaker 2>comes from God's grace, not from rules about food, which

265
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 2>don't help those who follow them. And then he goes on.

266
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>He closes out the chapter. But let's wrap up there,

267
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:54.639
<v Speaker 2>and clearly the promise that we're looking at is don't

268
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.320
<v Speaker 2>love money, be satisfied with what you have, because God

269
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 2>has said I will never fail you, I will never

270
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>abandon you.

271
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.720
<v Speaker 1>So the promise is I will never fail you and

272
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:06.279
<v Speaker 1>I will never abandon you. And the context is, be

273
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:10.399
<v Speaker 1>satisfied with what you have and don't love money.

274
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:11.000
<v Speaker 2>So it's this.

275
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Idea that God is with us and God will never

276
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.799
<v Speaker 1>abandon us. And that is true with every context of

277
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>our lives if we're a believer and follower of Jesus Christ,

278
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>if we're a Christian. But the context today is in

279
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.399
<v Speaker 1>this area of our lives. Right, and then he also

280
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.919
<v Speaker 1>before we get into that, he does he throws some

281
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:36.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty pretty big bombs out there. Don't forget to show

282
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.799
<v Speaker 1>hospitality to strangers, for some have done this and have

283
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 1>entertained angels without realizing it.

284
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:42.759
<v Speaker 2>What is that about?

285
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, you know, I told you. I think

286
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.679
<v Speaker 1>most of the people who know me know I have

287
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:51.399
<v Speaker 1>an angel story that I believe God sent me an angel,

288
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and I have very very little doubt. In fact, I

289
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.080
<v Speaker 1>would say that there's probably nothing in this whole world

290
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>that could ever happen to convince the otherwise. Right, and

291
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 1>and and so anyway, I think that the idea that

292
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.919
<v Speaker 1>God Sends Angels is uh, you know you remember that

293
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.960
<v Speaker 1>old show Heaven Can Wait? What's what's what's his name?

294
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 1>John Landon or something? Michael Oh, Michael Landon, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

295
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Heaven can What was it? Was it Heaven? I don't know, No,

296
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:25.919
<v Speaker 1>Heaven Can Wait? Was Warren Baties movie.

297
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh. We didn't have a TV back then, so I

298
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:29.799
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

299
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.039
<v Speaker 1>It was like a Highway to Heaven, Highoul to Heaven.

300
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:32.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

301
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, he's walking on the road with the music. That

302
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>was every That was every episode with the guy with

303
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:42.639
<v Speaker 1>the beard. Anyway, The point is is that, h have

304
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you ever talked to somebody who has like an angel story?

305
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever?

306
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, besides besides that, have you ever talked to

307
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>anybody like this?

308
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I've had people who've wondered, uh yeah, but I haven't

309
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:55.399
<v Speaker 2>had anybody as emphatic as you. So.

310
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:59.879
<v Speaker 1>Uh. So there is a good friend of mine. He

311
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 1>he's at my previous church and I can say his

312
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>name because he's told this story publicly multiple times. So

313
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Mark Nelson, you know Mark Nelson is sure? Okay, So

314
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Mark has the story and I've heard it multiple times

315
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>where I'm gonna I'm gonna tell it, it's unbelievable, Okay.

316
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:17.879
<v Speaker 1>So he sees a wreck on the side of the

317
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>freeway and he stops, and he gets out of his

318
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:23.559
<v Speaker 1>car and he runs over and there's a lady and

319
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:28.360
<v Speaker 1>she's bleeding out of her throat right and and it's

320
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:32.440
<v Speaker 1>just a horrific scene and and and the windows are

321
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>crashed and rolled over and things like this. So he

322
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.879
<v Speaker 1>runs over and he says, can I help you? Can

323
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I help you? And then on the other side of

324
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:47.159
<v Speaker 1>the car, somebody runs up and peeks in and says,

325
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.879
<v Speaker 1>put your hand right here in her throat, and so

326
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>he did it, and he goes, no, no, move down,

327
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.639
<v Speaker 1>and he moved down, and he goes, okay, right there,

328
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 1>and he goes, now, pushed as hard as you can.

329
00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:59.639
<v Speaker 1>And Mark's doing this, and of course, I mean we're

330
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>talking trauma like er kind of stuff here, right, So

331
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:05.879
<v Speaker 1>Mark stops this bleeding and and and he said, he goes,

332
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:07.879
<v Speaker 1>that's right, he goes, just hold it right there. So

333
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>then Mark's holding it, and then Mar's asks a question

334
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 1>and then looks up and the person's gone. And within

335
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:17.960
<v Speaker 1>one second there was a policeman in an ambulance that

336
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:20.720
<v Speaker 1>had come up. They just both arrived at the same time.

337
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.960
<v Speaker 1>And Mark looks this way and there's no cars and

338
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 1>it's on the side of the road, you know, there's

339
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>like woods. And he looks over it this way and

340
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>there's an ambulance and police car behind him. And it

341
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:35.000
<v Speaker 1>was one second ago, and and and he says to

342
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.639
<v Speaker 1>the I don't know who was one of one of

343
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.039
<v Speaker 1>the gentlemen. And he said, where's the other person, where's

344
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the guy who was on the other side of the car.

345
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.879
<v Speaker 1>And both guys go, there's nobody on the side of

346
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the car except for you. And he goes, he was

347
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.039
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of the car. He was on

348
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>that side of the window. And he goes, no, there

349
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:54.399
<v Speaker 1>was nobody there. He goes, we pulled up behind you.

350
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker 1>He was there like two seconds ago. And he goes,

351
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.559
<v Speaker 1>we were behind you like for a full minute and

352
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.639
<v Speaker 1>there were's nobody there. And that's his story. And so

353
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.920
<v Speaker 1>you you hear that. And again I'm a skeptic, right,

354
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:09.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'm like, I'm like, Okay, what's the explanation for that.

355
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 2>There's a homeless guy camping in the woods?

356
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm joking, right, but I mean, you know, I mean

357
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:20.039
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's just interesting. So Mark, Mark thinks, Oh,

358
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:22.400
<v Speaker 1>there's no doubt in my mind God sent an angel

359
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:23.279
<v Speaker 1>to save this woman.

360
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:27.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, I wish the story God also sent Mark.

361
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:29.400
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's right.

362
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.920
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, the context here's hospitality.

363
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:34.519
<v Speaker 1>Yes, of course. Yeah, we were just getting past the

364
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:35.119
<v Speaker 1>first one. Yeah.

365
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So the context is in that one is is

366
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:42.799
<v Speaker 2>a hospitality thing. And and he says that, you know, take.

367
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Care of strangersality with angels.

368
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, take care of strangers. And some people have

369
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.519
<v Speaker 2>have you know, hosted angels unaware and you know, the

370
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:55.319
<v Speaker 2>Bible mentions Abraham met with angels and at the beginning

371
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:58.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize that Gideon didn't realize who he was talking

372
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:04.400
<v Speaker 2>to at the beginning. You know, there's Manoah, there's people

373
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:08.400
<v Speaker 2>in the Bible who met angels or served angels and

374
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.640
<v Speaker 2>then later on discovered you know, who they were. So

375
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 2>there's that, and you know, I just think about it's

376
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:18.400
<v Speaker 2>just kind of encouragement. What he's trying to do is say, one,

377
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:20.519
<v Speaker 2>think about your brothers and sisters who are in prison.

378
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Care about them. Then he says, take care of people,

379
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.119
<v Speaker 2>be hospitable if they need a place to stay, even

380
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.880
<v Speaker 2>if all you have as a table in the chair, man,

381
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:29.680
<v Speaker 2>somebody's gonna be happy to spend time with you and

382
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.039
<v Speaker 2>have a table in the chair, So take care of them.

383
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:35.559
<v Speaker 2>So he's kind of as he's buttoning up this book,

384
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.519
<v Speaker 2>he's just kind of giving them one off statements about

385
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 2>things that they should be doing. As a Christian, you

386
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.200
<v Speaker 2>should care about people who are suffering, and you should

387
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:44.720
<v Speaker 2>think of it as if you were suffering or people

388
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:47.640
<v Speaker 2>that you love suffer, and then be hospitable and take

389
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.279
<v Speaker 2>care of people. And by the way, hey, sometimes people

390
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.079
<v Speaker 2>take care of angels not knowing it. Right then he

391
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:52.960
<v Speaker 2>moves on down. He just keeps moving along. Give honor

392
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.160
<v Speaker 2>to marriage. That's kind of out of place unless you

393
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:57.480
<v Speaker 2>just realize he's giving you these one off statements. Oh,

394
00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I wanted the comment on this. I wanted the comment

395
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:01.319
<v Speaker 2>on this. I wanted the that's what he's doing, right.

396
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever written a letter? Remember back?

397
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.119
<v Speaker 1>I have several times I've written the actual life.

398
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Have you ever back in the day when we

399
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:11.440
<v Speaker 2>used to have to handwrite letters, You'd write and write

400
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.559
<v Speaker 2>and write and write and write, and then towards the

401
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:16.279
<v Speaker 2>end you're just like, jeez, this just get so long,

402
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.039
<v Speaker 2>and the sentences get shorter. Did you do that? I

403
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.799
<v Speaker 2>did it because my handwriting's not well or not very good,

404
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.960
<v Speaker 2>and then I get tired writing, And so I think

405
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.039
<v Speaker 2>that's what's happening here is this is a pretty intense book.

406
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.160
<v Speaker 2>For twelve chapters. I'm very thorough and then suddenly you

407
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:33.960
<v Speaker 2>got this last chapter. He's got Listen, man, there's a

408
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:35.720
<v Speaker 2>million things I want to say. I'm not going to

409
00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:40.079
<v Speaker 2>unpack them. So he says, be hospitable, be concerned about

410
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:44.480
<v Speaker 2>people who are suffering, honor marriage. Right, none of those

411
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:48.359
<v Speaker 2>are connected, but it's just there. And then he's encouraging

412
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.759
<v Speaker 2>to be a good Christian. Right, he's saying live. Well, yeah, yeah,

413
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:53.279
<v Speaker 2>that's what I'm saying. Is I have all these other

414
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.720
<v Speaker 2>things I want to write about, but I'm not going

415
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.039
<v Speaker 2>to write whole chapters on each of these topics, and

416
00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:58.519
<v Speaker 2>so he's just kind of highlighting it. But then he

417
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:01.359
<v Speaker 2>gets to this, don't love money. Be satisfied with what

418
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:03.559
<v Speaker 2>you have, for God has said I will never fail you,

419
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I will never abandon you. And then he says, because

420
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:09.079
<v Speaker 2>of that promise, we can say with confidence the Lord

421
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:11.079
<v Speaker 2>is my helper, so I will have no fear. What

422
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:13.279
<v Speaker 2>can here people do to me? And I think that

423
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>this is a big issue. I think a lot of

424
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:17.480
<v Speaker 2>people spend their life. You know, it used to be

425
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:22.400
<v Speaker 2>everybody spend all of their time planting food, harvesting food,

426
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:30.240
<v Speaker 2>processing food, prepping food, cooking food, eating food, make babies

427
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>go to sleep, wake up in the morning, plant food,

428
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.880
<v Speaker 2>harvest food, process food. You know, prep food, cook food,

429
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:40.680
<v Speaker 2>eat food. That was you just lived your whole life.

430
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.799
<v Speaker 2>It was just survival and it's all you could think

431
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:47.920
<v Speaker 2>about is preparing and taking care of yourself and your family. Well,

432
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:51.359
<v Speaker 2>now most of us aren't suffering and struggling over food,

433
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:54.079
<v Speaker 2>and yet we still live in a very similar grind

434
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:58.799
<v Speaker 2>of just more, more, more, more more, and believe it

435
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:02.559
<v Speaker 2>or not, that turns into this consumerism turns into for

436
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:05.559
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people worry. It's because we get overextended.

437
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes we start to worry about it. And so he's saying, man,

438
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:12.240
<v Speaker 2>when you love money, you're going to struggle with worry.

439
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:15.240
<v Speaker 2>But if you are content with what you have, if

440
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.359
<v Speaker 2>you're satisfied with what you have, you're going to feel

441
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.599
<v Speaker 2>God's presence. If you're satisfied, you'll feel God's presence because

442
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:23.240
<v Speaker 2>he promised He'll never leave you, no for sake.

443
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it's a really powerful thing to attach

444
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the promise I will never fail you, I will never

445
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:34.920
<v Speaker 1>abandon you to money and provision, right and back then,

446
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.079
<v Speaker 1>of course, you know, just sort of what you said.

447
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.319
<v Speaker 1>Everybody spends all day worrying about the next meal, processing

448
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:44.079
<v Speaker 1>food and getting water, collecting water. And today we don't

449
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:47.759
<v Speaker 1>necessarily have that kind of worry, but we worry about

450
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:53.599
<v Speaker 1>future things. And you know, by the way, I'm only

451
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.160
<v Speaker 1>talking about my bubble and my world.

452
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, you worry about the future financially.

453
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm talking about like I just realize what I said.

454
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.319
<v Speaker 1>I just spoke like a spoiled American, right, saying, Oh,

455
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:06.319
<v Speaker 1>we don't have that kind of worry, But most of

456
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:09.079
<v Speaker 1>our audience probably don't have that kind of worry. They

457
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:10.319
<v Speaker 1>turn on the faucet and water.

458
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Comes out right in the west, in the for the West.

459
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:17.039
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, so I know that a lot of the

460
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:20.880
<v Speaker 1>world is still there, right, But the idea that God

461
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:23.640
<v Speaker 1>will never fail you, so I just think that I

462
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.279
<v Speaker 1>don't think that that always means you're always going to

463
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.960
<v Speaker 1>have enough money for everything you want, right, right, And

464
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:34.079
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes we do go without, and sometimes we are,

465
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:40.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, challenged, and sometimes we question, and sometimes we

466
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:43.599
<v Speaker 1>wonder and we thank God. I'm you know, there's so

467
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:46.359
<v Speaker 1>many people friends of mine who say, I'm not where.

468
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I where all my friends are in life. I should

469
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.079
<v Speaker 1>be here, and now I'm not there, and something's happened

470
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.759
<v Speaker 1>and I lost my job and then I couldn't get one,

471
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and this is this is not you know, this is

472
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.599
<v Speaker 1>not great. But I think that regardless of how our

473
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.720
<v Speaker 1>finances play out, in terms of our future and our

474
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:07.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, grain that we have stores in our barns,

475
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's important to understand that God is

476
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:17.200
<v Speaker 1>always going to be with us. There's not a single

477
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:20.079
<v Speaker 1>need that God is not aware of. And God will

478
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:23.920
<v Speaker 1>never fail on his promises. He will always be there

479
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.240
<v Speaker 1>to take care of us, even if sometimes we question

480
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:28.599
<v Speaker 1>when and how.

481
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that verse is a quote, I will never fail you,

482
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I will never abandon you. The author of Hebrews is

483
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:38.920
<v Speaker 2>quoting the Book of Deuteronomy there right, you.

484
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Know, I was looking for a note in my study

485
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.079
<v Speaker 1>Bible and it quotes the next verse. It says the

486
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:48.920
<v Speaker 1>next verse comes from Solvient, but I couldn't find Deuteronomy.

487
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Here yes, Deuteronomy thirty one to five.

488
00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Huh, yeah, my Bible doesn't say it.

489
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So in the In the King James, he says,

490
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.359
<v Speaker 2>I will never I will never leave you. Right, Yeah,

491
00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:04.160
<v Speaker 2>I will never forsake you, is what he says. And

492
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.519
<v Speaker 2>then because of this promise, I will never leave you,

493
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:09.279
<v Speaker 2>I will never forsake you, I will never fail you,

494
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:13.759
<v Speaker 2>I'll never abandon you. Because of that promise, then the

495
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:16.519
<v Speaker 2>author of Hebrews connects us to Psalm one eighteen, where

496
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:18.640
<v Speaker 2>he says, the Lord is my helper. Not only is

497
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.000
<v Speaker 2>God hanging around you, God's presence is near you. God

498
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:25.880
<v Speaker 2>is also willing to intervene for you. Right, And the

499
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.079
<v Speaker 2>author of Hebrews is connecting those two ideas. He's present

500
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and he'll intervene. He's not just present and watching. Gee,

501
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:34.599
<v Speaker 2>I wonder what's going to happen next, But he'll step

502
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:37.880
<v Speaker 2>in and he'll be your helper. And so because God

503
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.200
<v Speaker 2>will never abandon me, and because God will be my helper,

504
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.079
<v Speaker 2>then I don't have to have any fear. And then

505
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:46.640
<v Speaker 2>he says, what can mere people do to me? That's

506
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:50.559
<v Speaker 2>similar to the Book of Romans. You know, who can

507
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:52.200
<v Speaker 2>be against me? If God's for me who can be

508
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:54.480
<v Speaker 2>against me? And that should give us a tremendous amount

509
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:58.519
<v Speaker 2>of confidence. So, hey, if you're struggling financially, listen, God's

510
00:24:58.519 --> 00:25:00.440
<v Speaker 2>not going to fail you. It's never going to be you,

511
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:04.480
<v Speaker 2>and he will help you. But you have to decide

512
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:06.680
<v Speaker 2>you're going to be satisfied with what you do have

513
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:10.359
<v Speaker 2>and stop putting all of your focus on what money

514
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:12.319
<v Speaker 2>can do for you and instead put your focus on

515
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>what God promises to do for you. And then at

516
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.119
<v Speaker 2>that point there's a certain amount of satisfaction that comes

517
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:20.279
<v Speaker 2>with that decision. And when you come to that place

518
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:23.039
<v Speaker 2>where you're satisfied with what God has promised, then he says,

519
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll be your helper.

520
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:26.880
<v Speaker 1>And on the negative side, don't love money to such

521
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.440
<v Speaker 1>a degree to where you spend wasted energy and time

522
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.200
<v Speaker 1>and everything else because you're pursuing the wrong thing. Well,

523
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:36.279
<v Speaker 1>that's great, that's a good place to end. And so

524
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:39.359
<v Speaker 1>we will see you tomorrow for another promise on the Bible.

525
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Guys,
