00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to The Bible Guys, a podcast where a

2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>couple of friends talk about the Bible in fun in

3
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 1>practical ways. Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Bible Guys. We

4
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you tuning in. And we are in the middle

5
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.399
<v Speaker 1>of a series talking about the promises of God, and

6
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>this week we're talking about the Peace of God. That's

7
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the theme. Because we're talking about different promises all throughout

8
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the Bible.

9
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 2>That sounds super great. It does back and forward.

10
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 1>It's been you know what. I think that I think

11
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 1>that it's interesting how you can take sort of one topic,

12
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, the theme, different promises that sort of promise

13
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.439
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. But the best part about it is,

14
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 1>and I told you at the beginning I would love

15
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>to have somehow in this series said promises in context.

16
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, right, because they are the same promise, but

17
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 1>they have different contexts. And I think that that is brilliant,

18
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.119
<v Speaker 1>how you can take the promise of God and you

19
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>could actually apply it to so many different contexts. And

20
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 1>I think that but I think it's worth talking.

21
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 2>About, and I think it's interesting to mention it might

22
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>be interesting for some people. One of the benefits of

23
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 2>knowing the promises of God for me hasn't just been

24
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 2>to know them, but I sometimes I'll pray them back

25
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 2>to God. I'll say, God, you promised this, so you

26
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>better come through. Well, no, I just know that God

27
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 2>won't lie. He's not going to go back on his promises,

28
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 2>and so me mentioning it to God a lot of

29
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 2>times reaffirms the fact that I really do believe he's

30
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 2>going to keep his promises. Which then that's where I

31
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 2>think the peace begins to come from. Is it reminds me.

32
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 2>And then when I'm reminding him, it gives me confidence that, Okay,

33
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>we're clear right right. And then there been times where

34
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 2>I felt like I was claiming a promise and then

35
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.840
<v Speaker 2>while I was claiming it to God, you know, praying it,

36
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 2>God would remind me, well, you're not stepping up to

37
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 2>the plate in this area. I said this caveat to

38
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 2>that promise, and I'll be like, so then all of

39
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, he starts changing me. I want God to

40
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>change my circumstances. I realized, oh, I'm praying this promise,

41
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 2>God starts chane to me instead. So there's a big,

42
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>big difference on that. So anyways, Hey, would you rather.

43
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 1>I think I would you would rather? All right?

44
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I would love these? Would you rather?

45
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>Yes? They're so fun and it's just really insight about

46
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 1>you and me and and the different choices. Right when

47
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>when you realize that a choice somebody would make, you're like, hey,

48
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 1>that's a little bit of insight on that person. So

49
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>all right, here we go. Number one. Would you rather

50
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 1>only watch one single movie for the rest of your life?

51
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>Or only eat the same food for the rest of

52
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>your life? Oh? She designed this for me and you?

53
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes she did, right, You're the foodye grill master. I'm

54
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 1>the movie watcher, so I'd be like, yeah for you, Well,

55
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>you already know every word that anyway.

56
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh she got an Indiana Jones one on the next one.

57
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>That's so funny.

58
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow.

59
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So so let's answer the question, would you rather

60
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>have to eat one? I think I? I think I.

61
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I honestly think that one of the only only things

62
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>that could trump movies, although incredibly important to me, are

63
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>not even the same hemisphere as food. Food has to

64
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>be There's no possible way anybody can choose one food

65
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of your I mean you can, but

66
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.319
<v Speaker 1>that would be horrific. So I'm gonna say, I'd rather

67
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>see one movie for the rest of my life. So

68
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>the way this is worded, yes, oh there is there loopol.

69
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Are we eating this same food over and over and

70
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 2>over again? It's it's yeah, no, I mean I literally

71
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>ate this piece of chicken yesterday.

72
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean no, no, it's the same type of food.

73
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.319
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't it doesn't discriminate here, it doesn't say and

74
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 2>then is this the only the same food group?

75
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:43.439
<v Speaker 1>Okay, stop it?

76
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Or is this the same it's the same.

77
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Food like like like like chicken, chicken.

78
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Sandwich, chicken, a thousand different ways.

79
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 1>No or no, same order.

80
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>So you're putting rules on this that aren't there.

81
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm supposing.

82
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you know, think of a think of a

83
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 2>I would I would just go with one single movie. Yeah,

84
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>because she's not limiting books.

85
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's right.

86
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so so you still have you know, entertainment stuff.

87
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I would I would eliminate limit the movie

88
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.080
<v Speaker 2>one single movie for the rest of my life. What

89
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>movie would it be.

90
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>That was loopool looopool lawyer stuff?

91
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? What movie would it be?

92
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'd like to say that I'd choose my

93
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 1>favorite movie, which is The Count of Money Cristo. But uh,

94
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 1>but honestly, if I was stuck with only one more,

95
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I might choose a really super long, great movie just

96
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>to get to know a new movie. Now that's not true. No,

97
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>I would. I would choose The Count of Money, Money Cristo. Okay, yeah,

98
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 1>I would.

99
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I would choose one of the Indiana Jones movies, probably

100
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>either Raiders of Lost Ark or Last Crusade.

101
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's Crusade. Yeah, okay, not not the the not the.

102
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Collem.

103
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

104
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Would you rather go on an adventure with Indiana Jones

105
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 2>or Han Solo? Literally she deals with Indiana Jones and

106
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>then this is really fun, that's hysterical.

107
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I already know mine in a heartbeat? Which

108
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>is Han Solo?

109
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Really?

110
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Sure?

111
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Because you get get on a space ship?

112
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah space, I mean it's limits.

113
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 2>It's got a Wookie for a friend. It's pretty cool.

114
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, pretty cool?

115
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Can you do the Wookie sound? I can't.

116
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

117
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I can't do it. I can't work can

118
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.399
<v Speaker 1>And you knew you could, you just didn't.

119
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Want to do it. I just wanted to see you

120
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>do it first.

121
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 1>No, I knew I couldn't.

122
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so let me see uh yeah. Indiana Jones though,

123
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>So Han Solo and Indian Jones have a similar thing,

124
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 2>and that is they're always on the verge of losing

125
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 2>and somehow they win.

126
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

127
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, that's that's pretty much the character. Uh players,

128
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>He's always on the verge of losing, somehow he wins. Yeah,

129
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.959
<v Speaker 2>and he's the every man thing. So okay, which one,

130
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:52.439
<v Speaker 2>oh Indiana Jones for me?

131
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah for sure. Yeah.

132
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 2>And that archaeological digs, history, all that kind of stuff,

133
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 2>that problem solving mystery and I'd rather lasers. Yeah yeah.

134
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Han Solo never seems like he's actually problem solving. He's

135
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 2>just winging it the whole time.

136
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I love it, Yeah, I love it.

137
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, oh yeah, you got to read the next one.

138
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Would you rather have a mariachi band follow you

139
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>everywhere you go or have a personal cheerleader narrate your life?

140
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'll have a cheerleader.

141
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 1>I think cheerleader too. Oh I love It's so awesome

142
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>mariachi band.

143
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>That's it. I do too.

144
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 1>So did you know that when when my wife or

145
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 1>not my wife, well, my daughter and I went to

146
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 1>go to see that Steve Martin concert in Martin Short,

147
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 1>we had a little extra time, and so my daughter

148
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 1>is really good at finding great restaurants. She finds this phenomenal,

149
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>phenomenal Mexican restaurant. It was a Maria excuse me, mariachi

150
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 1>band there, and they were so top notch that I

151
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>was actually thinking to myself, I'm not sure I've seen

152
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 1>it was only a three person band, but I've not

153
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 1>seen a better mariachi band. It was so great. They

154
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>came and played for us. They played the whole time

155
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>we were there on live music sort of my thing, right,

156
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 1>and I was in you give a good tip? Oh,

157
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:03.199
<v Speaker 1>I give him twenty dollars?

158
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, for all five of them, for.

159
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>All three of them. There's only a three person bond. Okay,

160
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>but but I mean twenty bucks to sing one song

161
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>at your tap.

162
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.120
<v Speaker 2>It's great. Yeah, fantastic, man.

163
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 1>And I appreciate them so very much. They were so good.

164
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 2>My daughter's fiance is from Jalisco in Mexico. That's where

165
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.439
<v Speaker 2>his family's from, and that's where Mariacci comes from. Oh

166
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>really yeah yeah okay. So here's number four. So hey,

167
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.360
<v Speaker 2>hi Jenna, Hi John, here's number four. Would you rather

168
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>always have a unibrow or always have a mullet. Well,

169
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>there's no question, right, Mullets are cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

170
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.639
<v Speaker 2>linsa youni brow is pretty rough, that's a no brainer.

171
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Unibrow is like inexcusable. Yeah, although, well it is

172
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>a choice.

173
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:50.399
<v Speaker 2>Although I would say I've seen epic, epic yeah mullets,

174
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 2>But I've also seen some epic unibrows. But yeah, yeah,

175
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I always have a mullet. So do you have to

176
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.639
<v Speaker 2>leave the unibrow. It doesn't say you can't manage the unibrow.

177
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming that's what it means, because it says always

178
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 1>have one.

179
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:06.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, yeah, so you have.

180
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.759
<v Speaker 1>To always have it. Okay, I was looking for them

181
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:11.199
<v Speaker 1>just for fun. I was going to play you a

182
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>clip of the Mariachi, but I don't see it, and

183
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm very sad because of it.

184
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, Yeah, we've had We've had lots of mariaci

185
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>in the world. Alright, you want me to read number five? Yeah,

186
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 2>go ahead, Okay, we've had one similar to this before.

187
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Would you rather have the ability to turn invisible but

188
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.360
<v Speaker 2>only when you're sneezing, or the power to fly but

189
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 2>only we're all singing. I can believe, I believe I

190
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>can fly.

191
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I love it.

192
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I would do the fly.

193
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:39.519
<v Speaker 1>I would do the fly too.

194
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you think so?

195
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:41.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, can you imagine that being the thing that

196
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 1>triggers Yeah? Yeah yeah, when you start singing, you just

197
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>you start to elevate. I believe I can touch this guy.

198
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that'd be great.

199
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I can. I can't find it. I'm so disappointed

200
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 1>right now because it's so good the mariachi be But

201
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>it's okay, but you can live without it. Yeah yeah.

202
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 1>And of course you know they only have like they're like,

203
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>they're like, what's only is you? Like, I'm like I

204
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.399
<v Speaker 1>don't know. And he's like, la bumba. I'm like, of course,

205
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>of course you got to choose that, right, But they did,

206
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, we already talked about invisible is

207
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>like it's pretty lame.

208
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:18.679
<v Speaker 2>We've we've done some vacations in Latin America, different countries,

209
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 2>and you know, the mariachi bands come to restaurants all

210
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.679
<v Speaker 2>the time and play. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. Okay,

211
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:24.279
<v Speaker 2>are you ready?

212
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Yep?

213
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.720
<v Speaker 2>You know who wasn't playing in the mariachi band?

214
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:36.919
<v Speaker 1>Peter the worst transition ever? Hey, do you know who

215
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:42.919
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a part of a mariachi band at all. Peter, hey,

216
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>and everybody in the Bible, by the way, okay, transition ever,

217
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you win, buddy, you win so far you're

218
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.559
<v Speaker 1>the winner, answered ridiculous.

219
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So anyways, I pull this back together. So we're

220
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.200
<v Speaker 2>in First Peter chapter five, and this whole week we're

221
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:14.080
<v Speaker 2>talking about God's peace in our lives, right, And so

222
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Peter he only wrote two books and then he I

223
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.919
<v Speaker 2>think he had a heavy influence on Mark for the

224
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 2>for the Gospel of Mark, but he just wrote these

225
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.639
<v Speaker 2>two books, and the whole time he's under a lot

226
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.320
<v Speaker 2>of tension, a lot of stress, a lot of persecution,

227
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.799
<v Speaker 2>those kinds of things. So they're really encouraging and challenging books.

228
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 2>So he's ending First Peter here in chapter five he says,

229
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 2>and now a word to you, who are elders in

230
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.200
<v Speaker 2>the church, I too am an elder and a witness

231
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.159
<v Speaker 2>to the sufferings of Christ, and I too will share

232
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 2>in his glory when he is revealed to the whole

233
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 2>world as a fellow elder. I appeal to you, care

234
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 2>for the flock that God has entrusted. You watch over

235
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.200
<v Speaker 2>it willingly, not grudgingly, not for what you'll get out

236
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:57.279
<v Speaker 2>of it. But because you are eager to serve God,

237
00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 2>do not lord it over the people assigned to your care,

238
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.759
<v Speaker 2>but lead them by your own good example. And when

239
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:06.159
<v Speaker 2>the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of

240
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.960
<v Speaker 2>never ending glory and honor. In the same way, you

241
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:11.399
<v Speaker 2>who are younger must accept the authority of the elders,

242
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.120
<v Speaker 2>and all of you dress yourselves in humility as you

243
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.279
<v Speaker 2>relate to one another. For God opposes the proud, but

244
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 2>gives grace to the humble. So humble yourselves under the

245
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.919
<v Speaker 2>mighty power of God, and at the right time he

246
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.720
<v Speaker 2>will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries

247
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:29.320
<v Speaker 2>and cares to God, for He cares about you. Stay alert,

248
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.559
<v Speaker 2>watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls

249
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.440
<v Speaker 2>around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

250
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith.

251
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Remember that your family of believers all over the world

252
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.320
<v Speaker 2>is going through the same kind of suffering you are.

253
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.480
<v Speaker 2>In his kindness, God called you to share in his

254
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 2>eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you've

255
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:52.440
<v Speaker 2>suffered a little while, he will restore support and strengthen you,

256
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.399
<v Speaker 2>and he will place you on a firm foundation. I'll

257
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 2>power to him forever. Amen. Then he says, I've written

258
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:00.399
<v Speaker 2>and sent this short letter to you with the help

259
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.320
<v Speaker 2>of Silas whom I come ind to you as a

260
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 2>faithful brother. My purpose in writing is to encourage you

261
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.919
<v Speaker 2>and ensure you that you are experiencing. What you're experiencing

262
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.559
<v Speaker 2>is truly part of God's grace, for you stand firm

263
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.240
<v Speaker 2>in his grace. Your sister church here in Babylon sends

264
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:17.279
<v Speaker 2>you greetings, and so does my son Mark. Greet each

265
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.080
<v Speaker 2>other with a kiss of love. Peace be with all

266
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:21.200
<v Speaker 2>of you who are in Christ.

267
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Didn't you say that Mark was Peter's secretary.

268
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Of sorts usually yeah, yeah, yeah, And so when he

269
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:29.399
<v Speaker 2>calls him a son, he's he's saying, you know, he's

270
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:30.039
<v Speaker 2>a young man.

271
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah and yeah yeah. Well in the same way that he,

272
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, calls Christians brothers and sisters. Remember that your

273
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.559
<v Speaker 1>Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going

274
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:41.759
<v Speaker 1>through the same kind of stuffering you are.

275
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.799
<v Speaker 2>So I would just say it's very likely he's not

276
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:49.440
<v Speaker 2>writing from the actual city of Babylon, but that was

277
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:56.120
<v Speaker 2>code for Rome because the really yeah, because the Jews.

278
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:02.720
<v Speaker 2>The Jews were rejecting the Christians were rejecting Nero at

279
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.519
<v Speaker 2>that point, how wicked he was, how evil was Right

280
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.159
<v Speaker 2>after Peter got done writing First Peter, is when Nero

281
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:13.000
<v Speaker 2>began persecuting Christians literally burning them on steaks, you know,

282
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.279
<v Speaker 2>with covered in tar, and lighting them on fire and

283
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.200
<v Speaker 2>beheading them and feeding them to the lions. It was

284
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.200
<v Speaker 2>just it was unbelievable what Nero did, and so it

285
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 2>was very likely that this was code not for Babylon,

286
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 2>but for how wicked Rome was. Yeah, so I thought

287
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.639
<v Speaker 2>that was just interesting because he dies not long after this, right,

288
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.039
<v Speaker 2>he writes Second Peter, and then they CRUCIFIAI in Rome.

289
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I would not have ever known that. I And

290
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously I've been around church world for thirty

291
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.600
<v Speaker 1>five years, and I'm not sure I've ever heard that before.

292
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>And if I did, I certainly forgot it.

293
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.480
<v Speaker 2>But I just thought it was an interesting little side

294
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:53.240
<v Speaker 2>note to mention.

295
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:57.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and obviously we don't know, right, right, So but.

296
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, pretty I think for two thousand years Christianity

297
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 2>they've always said it was wrong. Yeah really, yeah, yeah,

298
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:06.159
<v Speaker 2>but interesting.

299
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, so Peter is uh uh talking to uh,

300
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, other other people who are leaders in the church,

301
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>and he's uh, he's saying, hey, I'm an elder, so

302
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:24.759
<v Speaker 1>respect my opinion, and I'm appealing to you as elders. Right,

303
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:29.799
<v Speaker 1>So he's actually saying, hey, you have responsibility, you have

304
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.720
<v Speaker 1>spiritual influence and uh. And and he says, care for

305
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.519
<v Speaker 1>the flock that God has entrusted to you, watch over

306
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:41.240
<v Speaker 1>it willingly, not grudgingly. And he's just reinforcing the responsibility

307
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:43.879
<v Speaker 1>of what it means to spiritual authority, I guess in

308
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:44.799
<v Speaker 1>these couple verses.

309
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:49.480
<v Speaker 2>So it's interesting. There's a couple of things that he highlights,

310
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, an elder yep.

311
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:51.679
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

312
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 2>There's three words that he uses poiman, episcopas and pres

313
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.720
<v Speaker 2>butudoras in this passage, and we tend to make them

314
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:08.759
<v Speaker 2>be pastor bishop and no pastor bishop and elder elder, right,

315
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.360
<v Speaker 2>And he uses all three of those like we make

316
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:18.440
<v Speaker 2>it up like three different positions elders, pastors, bishops, And

317
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:21.720
<v Speaker 2>he's referring to all three of those being one group

318
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:25.080
<v Speaker 2>of people one, you know. And so he's saying, as

319
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.159
<v Speaker 2>a fellow elder, I'm appealing to you, care for the

320
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.679
<v Speaker 2>flock that's pointman, that's shepherd. That's the word where we

321
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.440
<v Speaker 2>get shepherd. That's where we get pastor from. And then

322
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:38.200
<v Speaker 2>he says, uh, watch over it. That's bishop. That's the

323
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.320
<v Speaker 2>word that we would that he would have used for bishop,

324
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:42.200
<v Speaker 2>or that we would use for the word bishop is

325
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:47.320
<v Speaker 2>watch over It's it's an organizational directional kind of management

326
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:51.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of a role. And then uh, he says, you know,

327
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:54.399
<v Speaker 2>serve them like an elder, and elder being kind of

328
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>the spiritual authority of the group. So he's referencing one

329
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.159
<v Speaker 2>group of leaders and calling and telling them you have

330
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:05.440
<v Speaker 2>three big jobs. Be spiritual leader, be a good manager,

331
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.039
<v Speaker 2>and really care for these people like a shepherd. Right,

332
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.200
<v Speaker 2>That's that's the and so that's our rule. Right as pastors,

333
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.200
<v Speaker 2>you ever wonder what pastor's supposed to do. We're supposed

334
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:15.639
<v Speaker 2>to give direction and leadership like a bishop. We're supposed

335
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.879
<v Speaker 2>to give spiritual covering and care like an elder. We're

336
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:25.039
<v Speaker 2>supposed to give oversight and direction and leadership and protection

337
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.399
<v Speaker 2>and feeding like a shepherd, guidance like a shepherd. Yeah. Yeah,

338
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:29.840
<v Speaker 2>so that's it.

339
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:30.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's great.

340
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.080
<v Speaker 2>But here's the promise. The promise is what one.

341
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Verses give all your worries to God and cares to God,

342
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.919
<v Speaker 1>for he cares about you. And it's interesting because it's

343
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:45.840
<v Speaker 1>we're in this series about peace, and it doesn't actually

344
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.679
<v Speaker 1>use the word piece, but what it's doing is it's

345
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.799
<v Speaker 1>it's a very specific part of the process that this

346
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.039
<v Speaker 1>verse is commanding us to do, which is, Hey, in

347
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:59.279
<v Speaker 1>this process, give your worries, all your anxieties, all your cares,

348
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:03.039
<v Speaker 1>all your you know what ifs, give it to God

349
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.519
<v Speaker 1>in all your cares because he cares for you. And

350
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:09.279
<v Speaker 1>I think that that is an important part to unpack

351
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>because when we always talk about, hey, God, to give

352
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.359
<v Speaker 1>you peace, there is a process, and the process says, Okay, God,

353
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:20.039
<v Speaker 1>I surrender to your will. I acknowledge the fact that

354
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I cannot control the outcome of whatever it is that

355
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm worried about. And sometimes we can, of course, but

356
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that the things we worry about the most

357
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.880
<v Speaker 1>are the things that are out of our control, right, right,

358
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:34.559
<v Speaker 1>And so you know, when we get to the end

359
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.720
<v Speaker 1>of ourselves and we say, God, I can't do anything

360
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.839
<v Speaker 1>else to fix this, this is in your hands, when

361
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the reality is is actually everything's in his hands, right

362
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:50.400
<v Speaker 1>even if we do have some control over it, It's

363
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:53.359
<v Speaker 1>always in God's hands. And so you know, we can't

364
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.279
<v Speaker 1>we can't change any outcome that God wants to bring about.

365
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:58.599
<v Speaker 1>If God wants to bring about a certain outcome, we

366
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.279
<v Speaker 1>can't control it. We can do it our part, but

367
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.799
<v Speaker 1>God's ultimately going to always do his part. So anyway,

368
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.480
<v Speaker 1>all that to say, I think that it's really important

369
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.240
<v Speaker 1>for us to realize that there has to be a

370
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:14.119
<v Speaker 1>surrendering or a giving to God and say, God, I

371
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:18.200
<v Speaker 1>can't handle this, I can't solve this, I can't control this.

372
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.240
<v Speaker 1>So God, I give it to you. I give you

373
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:23.920
<v Speaker 1>my worries and my cares because He cares for us.

374
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 3>He cares about your anxiety rights amazing, cares about you, Yes,

375
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:33.799
<v Speaker 3>and not only about you as in like, are you

376
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:34.920
<v Speaker 3>doing what I want you to do?

377
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I care about how you feel right now? Yes, that's

378
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:38.400
<v Speaker 2>amazing to me.

379
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because that is the that is the applications in

380
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.440
<v Speaker 1>that right give he said, because right give, give your

381
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.160
<v Speaker 1>worries and cares to him because he cares for you.

382
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:53.359
<v Speaker 1>He cares that you should experience peace. He wants you

383
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.880
<v Speaker 1>to have peace. He wants you to trust him, He

384
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.880
<v Speaker 1>wants you to you know, be able to get through

385
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.920
<v Speaker 1>your day and just you know, say okay, God, everything's

386
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.880
<v Speaker 1>in your hands. And and by the way, that that

387
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.000
<v Speaker 1>helps us to walk in faith, doesn't it? And uh

388
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.880
<v Speaker 1>And I've always said this and we all know this,

389
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.559
<v Speaker 1>but it's a great reminder when we're talking about something

390
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.680
<v Speaker 1>like this, is that we take small steps of faith,

391
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.559
<v Speaker 1>and then when we see God come through and when

392
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.720
<v Speaker 1>we have a much better experience experiencing peace because we

393
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.839
<v Speaker 1>gave it to Him, then the next time something else

394
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.200
<v Speaker 1>big comes along, we're able to take bigger steps of

395
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:29.759
<v Speaker 1>faith and and and and then and then the next

396
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:31.759
<v Speaker 1>time we can trust God with something bigger, and then

397
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:34.839
<v Speaker 1>even bigger, and then even bigger, and pretty soon, when

398
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.759
<v Speaker 1>you're a Christian for a certain amount of time, you know,

399
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.599
<v Speaker 1>it's almost it's almost like instinct to say, Okay, I

400
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:44.000
<v Speaker 1>know there's a lot of steak, but we're going to

401
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:44.559
<v Speaker 1>trust God.

402
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.359
<v Speaker 2>And it's like, whoa, it becomes a habit. Yeah, And

403
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.119
<v Speaker 2>worry becomes a habit, so does trust in God becomes

404
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:50.480
<v Speaker 2>a habit.

405
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:53.079
<v Speaker 1>That's good. Yeah, Hey, that's that's the truth of the day,

406
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:55.799
<v Speaker 1>right there, is that worry becomes a habit, and so

407
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:56.960
<v Speaker 1>does trust in God.

408
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 2>So then that's why you need to know the promise

409
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.880
<v Speaker 2>is a God, because you already know what you're worrying about.

410
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:05.000
<v Speaker 2>That's why it's so easy to worry. And you know

411
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:06.480
<v Speaker 2>how you feel about it. That's why it's so easy

412
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:09.039
<v Speaker 2>to worry. But you need to know the promises of God,

413
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:11.559
<v Speaker 2>and then you can begin pivoting your habits. You begin

414
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 2>to change your habits by choosing to claim the promises

415
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.119
<v Speaker 2>of God when your instincts tell you to worry. Right,

416
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:21.559
<v Speaker 2>So that's it. Anyways, this seems to be this promise,

417
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.880
<v Speaker 2>humble yourselves under the mighty power of God. Right, stay alert.

418
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:28.079
<v Speaker 2>He's got all these things. Give all your worries to God.

419
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:33.839
<v Speaker 2>These all seem to be in the context of church relationships, pastors, leaders,

420
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:38.359
<v Speaker 2>and he says, hey, don't lord it over them. And

421
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.079
<v Speaker 2>in the same way, you that are younger, So not

422
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.559
<v Speaker 2>the elders of the church, except the authority all of you,

423
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.680
<v Speaker 2>all of you now, So he pivots from the elders,

424
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.680
<v Speaker 2>don't lord it over them to the younger ones, follow

425
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.680
<v Speaker 2>the leaders, to all of you. Dress yourselves in humility

426
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:58.920
<v Speaker 2>as you relate to one another. This is the key

427
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.039
<v Speaker 2>central idea This is all in relation to ship to

428
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:05.400
<v Speaker 2>each other, because God opposes the proud and gives grace

429
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:08.359
<v Speaker 2>to the humble. And then he says, so, humble yourselves

430
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.359
<v Speaker 2>under the mighty power God. At the right time, he'll

431
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:12.200
<v Speaker 2>lift you up in honor. So if you're feeling frustrated,

432
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:14.640
<v Speaker 2>if you're feeling like you're not getting the right opportunities yet,

433
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.119
<v Speaker 2>if you're struggling with your leader, or if you're a

434
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.079
<v Speaker 2>leader and you're struggling with your followers, listen, you give

435
00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:22.359
<v Speaker 2>it to God. Right, God's going to lift you up.

436
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.200
<v Speaker 2>You feel like people aren't giving you respect, God's going

437
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to lift you up at the right time. You feel

438
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:28.559
<v Speaker 2>like you're not getting opportunities. God's going to lift you

439
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 2>up at the right time. Then, in that context, give

440
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:32.920
<v Speaker 2>all your worries and cares to God. Fre He cares

441
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:35.119
<v Speaker 2>about you, so you can give any He says all.

442
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:37.240
<v Speaker 2>So that means every worry. But the context of the

443
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:40.799
<v Speaker 2>passage seems to be as you relate to one another, right,

444
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.720
<v Speaker 2>which is where most of our anxiety comes from. So

445
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.160
<v Speaker 2>we have sometimes money anxiety. People, we have money anxieties.

446
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:50.839
<v Speaker 2>That's one, but almost all the rest of our anxieties

447
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:57.480
<v Speaker 2>are marriage, kids, neighbors, coworkers. Right, it's people. I'd say

448
00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:59.799
<v Speaker 2>ninety percent of our stresses come from people.

449
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.319
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking of John what's his name. He used

450
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.119
<v Speaker 1>to work at Willow or Burke, John Rothberg, and he

451
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 1>said he has that book that says everybody's normal until

452
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.559
<v Speaker 1>you get to know them. And in the book he

453
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:13.799
<v Speaker 1>says he says, the world will be great if everybody

454
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:14.279
<v Speaker 1>was just like me.

455
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it'd be perfect. So it does seem to be.

456
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:24.400
<v Speaker 2>It's in that context of humble yourself in relationship to

457
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:28.799
<v Speaker 2>each other, which is Peter says in three sentences what

458
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Paul takes whole chapters to talk about, you know, treat

459
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:34.880
<v Speaker 2>the other person like yourself, build the other one up.

460
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not always about you, right, And Peter is just

461
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:39.839
<v Speaker 2>so to the point. He's got two short little books.

462
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:42.920
<v Speaker 2>But you got to go almost word for word and

463
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:46.599
<v Speaker 2>sentence by sentence with Peter, and he says about as

464
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:49.319
<v Speaker 2>much just he's a fisherman, he's not a you know.

465
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Paul was a lawyer. He was a member of the Sanhedrin.

466
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:57.680
<v Speaker 2>He was a deeply educated guy. He felt very comfortable

467
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:01.759
<v Speaker 2>going to the Areopagus and Athens and debating with the

468
00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.720
<v Speaker 2>other philosophers. This is a place where like Socrates or

469
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Plato or Aristotle would want to go argue. And Paul

470
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:12.079
<v Speaker 2>was perfectly comfortable sitting around debating big thoughts, having big

471
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:15.480
<v Speaker 2>thoughts and talking about him. And Peter's a professional fisherman

472
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.119
<v Speaker 2>who owned a bunch of boats and had a bunch

473
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:20.359
<v Speaker 2>of men working for him. He's just no nonsense, go

474
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:24.359
<v Speaker 2>to the point. So when you read Peter, he says

475
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:26.920
<v Speaker 2>in a few sentences what Paul would say in whole chapters.

476
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:29.119
<v Speaker 2>And so that's why.

477
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Peter's blue collar, Paul's white.

478
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Collar, and Peter's waited more to the point. He's just

479
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:35.200
<v Speaker 2>more blunt. Yeah, right, So I don't need to tell

480
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:38.920
<v Speaker 2>you twice because I already told you once, which I

481
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:43.200
<v Speaker 2>love about it. So when you read Peter, every sentence

482
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.160
<v Speaker 2>asked why did you write that one? Why did you

483
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:47.480
<v Speaker 2>write that one? Because he's trying to pack a punch

484
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:50.279
<v Speaker 2>in every sentence, and then almost all of his sentences

485
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:53.119
<v Speaker 2>are always connected to one of the other sentences somewhere.

486
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:55.319
<v Speaker 2>And so that's what you're seeing here is most of

487
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:59.039
<v Speaker 2>your stress comes from people. While you're relating to one another.

488
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:02.599
<v Speaker 2>He says, you have to be humble, and he says,

489
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:05.559
<v Speaker 2>God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

490
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 2>That's a quote, so it's in James. James also quotes

491
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.240
<v Speaker 2>that same exact verse, and I just looked it up

492
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:15.960
<v Speaker 2>while you were talking. Oh yeah, it's in Proverbs, chapter three,

493
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:18.960
<v Speaker 2>verse thirty four. So I knew it was in Proverbs.

494
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:20.599
<v Speaker 2>I just couldn't remember where I found it in the

495
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:23.839
<v Speaker 2>In the side notes here, it says the Lord mocks

496
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 2>the mockers, but is gracious to the humble.

497
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

498
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 2>So not only opposes God, God makes a mockery of

499
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:39.359
<v Speaker 2>the proud, yeah, right, when you're God will shame the proud, yeah,

500
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:42.680
<v Speaker 2>but he gives grace to the humble. And so he says, man,

501
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:45.160
<v Speaker 2>you got to humble yourselves. And it's in that context,

502
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:47.599
<v Speaker 2>and he says, cast all your cares on me, because

503
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:49.799
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to be humble. Cast everything on me, and

504
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:54.039
<v Speaker 2>I'll I'm tremendous. Yeah, one of the best I've ever known.

505
00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm extraordinarily humble.

506
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. You know, I used to think it was only me,

507
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 2>and now I'm starting to realize you've got some of

508
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:01.519
<v Speaker 2>it in you. That's pretty great, that humility.

509
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>You mean that's so funny. That's great. Well, it looks

510
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:10.799
<v Speaker 1>like our time on this topic and so and on

511
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:14.000
<v Speaker 1>this passage rather, so let's go ahead and wrap up,

512
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:16.400
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully you'll tune in tomorrow on Friday.

513
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:18.640
<v Speaker 2>I wonder what the segment is tomorrow.

514
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but stay tuned, same Bat time.

515
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:24.720
<v Speaker 2>That's the next sentence, same bat channel.

516
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:26.799
<v Speaker 1>That's right, we'll see tomorrow on the Baba guys,
