[2027.94 --> 2033.72] with you because of Jesus, and in how you are present with us even in our day-to-day experiences. |
[2033.72 --> 2041.00] We know that our times are in your hand, and we put our trust in you, for you are good. |
[2042.46 --> 2048.00] You kept Amanda safe and brought timely care to her, and we pray that you will bring continued |
[2048.00 --> 2048.70] healing to her. |
[2048.70 --> 2054.64] You protected our youth leaders and Kevin from serious harm while traveling this weekend, |
[2054.84 --> 2060.14] and we pray for continued healing and providence for them in their important work and in their |
[2060.14 --> 2060.98] travels home today. |
[2063.06 --> 2067.90] We thank you for our pastoral staff, and we ask for continued blessing on their work and |
[2067.90 --> 2072.54] on their families, and we also pray for your blessing on the interview process this week |
[2072.54 --> 2074.50] ahead for the Young Adult Ministry Coordinator. |
[2074.50 --> 2082.94] We praise you for your faithful power, which extends beyond the grave, and for how you always |
[2082.94 --> 2083.78] keep your promises. |
[2085.64 --> 2090.54] While Elsa and her family mourn the loss of her dad, we pray that your comfort will dwell |
[2090.54 --> 2091.66] richly with them. |
[2093.50 --> 2098.98] We also grieve with the Hanson family, following the news of Aaron's crash, and we pray for your |
[2098.98 --> 2100.62] comfort and presence to be near to them. |
[2100.62 --> 2109.18] We also pray for your power to extend in healing ways to John after his fall, and to all in |
[2109.18 --> 2112.20] our church that struggle with physical and mental health. |
[2113.10 --> 2116.42] Be near to those who can't be with us today because of those things. |
[2118.62 --> 2124.24] As Kevin, Chris, Brandon, and Aaron prepare to travel to Mexico this week, we ask that you |
[2124.24 --> 2127.24] bless their travels, their experiences, and their encounters. |
[2127.24 --> 2132.98] May this trip be encouraging, especially in the relationships we have as a part of your |
[2132.98 --> 2134.00] worldwide church. |
[2135.24 --> 2139.56] Please extend these blessings to Cameron as well as she prepares for her mission trip in |
[2139.56 --> 2139.70] May. |
[2142.30 --> 2145.10] We praise you for your sovereign rule over the world. |
[2145.10 --> 2151.56] Even though all of creation groans for the day, you make all things new, and we see brokenness |
[2151.56 --> 2154.76] in our neighborhoods and in places like Haiti and the Ukraine. |
[2155.48 --> 2160.70] We know that you will bring justice, and we know that your heart is for the oppressed, |
[2161.14 --> 2162.64] the downtrodden, and the weary. |
[2164.40 --> 2169.24] May we follow your call to bring shalom while we await your majestic return. |
[2169.24 --> 2177.30] As we hear your word proclaimed today, refocus our eyes to see your kingdom come. |
[2177.94 --> 2179.92] In Jesus' name, amen. |
[2199.24 --> 2213.24] We here at Emmanuel have been in a teaching series in the book of Psalms, using the Psalms to |
[2213.24 --> 2218.76] explore and understand our different experiences of emotion. |
[2218.96 --> 2222.34] And so the series is called Faith and All Our Feelings. |
[2222.34 --> 2229.74] And really, just as much as we have been exegeting, looking at and explaining and digging into |
[2229.74 --> 2236.44] the truths of Scripture, we've been in that also exegeting our own hearts and minds right |
[2236.44 --> 2236.88] alongside. |
[2237.88 --> 2244.96] This morning, we're going to do that work through Psalm 30, in particular through a few verses |
[2244.96 --> 2246.34] from Psalm 30. |
[2246.54 --> 2251.20] And so if you have a Bible handy, I encourage you to have that open and to keep that open. |
[2251.20 --> 2257.16] You can also read along with me as you see it on the screen behind me. |
[2257.34 --> 2261.60] I'm going to read Psalm 30, verse 6 through 10. |
[2264.58 --> 2266.04] It's the Psalm of David. |
[2266.82 --> 2267.32] He writes, |
[2267.32 --> 2273.68] When I felt secure, I said, I will never be shaken. |
[2274.64 --> 2279.24] Lord, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain stand firm. |
[2279.24 --> 2285.20] But when you hid your face, I was dismayed. |
[2286.38 --> 2288.56] To you, Lord, I called. |
[2289.18 --> 2291.10] To the Lord, I cried for mercy. |
[2291.58 --> 2295.84] What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? |
[2296.92 --> 2298.52] Will the dust praise you? |
[2299.20 --> 2301.28] Will it proclaim your faithfulness? |
[2302.28 --> 2306.26] Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me. |
[2306.26 --> 2310.52] Lord, be my help. |
[2311.24 --> 2312.52] This is the word of the Lord. |
[2319.82 --> 2328.76] When I was younger, principally when I was a teenager, I used to love being scared. |
[2328.76 --> 2329.92] Right? |
[2329.98 --> 2333.28] And so horror movies and haunted houses, all of it. |
[2333.42 --> 2334.36] I loved it. |
[2335.50 --> 2341.80] Now, I realized that I loved it because I wasn't actually, like there was nothing to actually be afraid of. |
[2342.14 --> 2342.34] Right? |
[2342.36 --> 2343.72] There wasn't a real threat of danger. |
[2343.82 --> 2345.26] And so caveat all of this with that. |
[2345.26 --> 2351.58] One year, it was close to Halloween, a season kind of like we're in right now. |
[2351.58 --> 2366.00] But there was a, outside of the town that I grew up in, there was a farm that would convert their cornfield and their barn into like a horror maze experience. |
[2366.68 --> 2366.82] Right? |
[2366.82 --> 2376.96] And as you walked through the maze, you would end up in the barn and then there would be people and these things all set up and they would be hiding in different boxes or around things. |
[2377.04 --> 2380.36] And as you walked by, they would grab you or try to pull you in. |
[2380.44 --> 2382.72] And the whole intent was to terrify you. |
[2382.72 --> 2391.20] Parts of it would be pitch black and you had to kind of fumble your way through. |
[2391.62 --> 2397.92] One year, the way it ended is the last like third of the walk through the barn was just in the dark. |
[2398.64 --> 2399.62] You could barely see. |
[2399.70 --> 2402.20] And this is before all of us had cell phones in our pockets, right? |
[2402.24 --> 2403.58] Like I'm old enough for that to be true. |
[2403.66 --> 2405.50] So I didn't have a flashlight, just handy. |
[2406.42 --> 2408.56] And so we had to fumble our way out. |
[2408.56 --> 2414.50] And so you came around the last corner and then the hallway out was clear and it was lit. |
[2414.84 --> 2420.40] And you could see framed like what was probably the tractor door or something like that and just the outside. |
[2420.62 --> 2422.90] So you were like, finally, I've made it. |
[2422.98 --> 2428.28] And so, you know, we and my buddies were all walking down this hallway and excited for how we've made it through. |
[2428.36 --> 2429.44] And all of a sudden we hear a, |
[2429.98 --> 2433.82] and we turn around. |
[2433.82 --> 2442.40] And behind us, what we thought was a wall turns out to be a secret door framing a perfectly pitch black rectangle. |
[2443.96 --> 2445.08] We kind of froze. |
[2446.44 --> 2447.28] And then we hear, |
[2447.46 --> 2456.22] Someone with a chainsaw comes running out, the biggest man I have ever seen in my entire life, |
[2456.60 --> 2462.40] waving a chainsaw around, running after us with the hockey mask on, like the old Jason hockey masks, right? |
[2462.40 --> 2464.36] And he comes barreling after us. |
[2464.50 --> 2467.82] And we scream and we got out of there as fast as we possibly could. |
[2469.26 --> 2469.70] Terrified. |
[2473.20 --> 2474.62] Now fast forward a couple years. |
[2476.50 --> 2480.74] Our church youth group was in Niagara Falls on Clifton Hill. |
[2480.88 --> 2484.04] If you're familiar with that, there's all sorts of tourist areas and traps. |
[2484.28 --> 2487.38] And the youth decided that they wanted to go through a haunted house. |
[2487.38 --> 2490.50] And so we went through a haunted house. |
[2490.68 --> 2492.94] And the experience was similar. |
[2493.20 --> 2497.06] You, at the end, had to walk through a narrow hallway that was pitch black. |
[2497.22 --> 2499.60] And people would reach out and grab you. |
