Hey guys, thanks for checking out this Bible teaching.

Every week release a podcast that corresponds to the sermon.

It's like a little bit of a deeper dive, where we hit some things that didn't make it into the sermon,

An episode releases every Monday that corresponds to the sermon. If you would like to

live free, just go to the Lake Point YouTube channel and look for the podcast tab there. We'll see you

I want to go to the Old Testament of the Bible to 2nd Kings chapter 6, where we see an account

about the servant of a prophet by the name of Elisha. And he, the servant, he's freaking out. And the reason is there's an

enemy army that is tracking down Elisha. They want revenge. They want retribution. Because Elisha had thwarted

their earlier efforts to kidnap the king of Israel. So they're mad. And the servant of

Elisha figures, hey, whatever they do to Elisha, they're going to do to me. So I may get enslaved,
