| 0:13.5 | Today's talk comes from Pastor Louis Giglio. I want to take us to a desperate man. That could have been anybody, but it's a man today, and his name is |
| 0:27.9 | Jahashafat, and we've preached about him a lot at Passion City Church, and if you've been |
| 0:31.7 | around church, you've heard his story before. But there's a lot of desperation in this moment, and I want us to capture some |
| 0:39.0 | principles from it so that if you're in a place where you feel desperate, you'll know what to do. |
| 0:45.8 | If you're in a circumstance or a situation where you feel what Jehoshaphat felt and what the |
| 0:52.3 | people of Judah felt that you'll know what to do because you've |
| 0:55.6 | seen God come through for someone and God didn't put Jahashafat's story in scripture just for our |

| 1:28.9 | because it's really beautiful to see what happens. |
| 1:32.8 | Jahashafat was in a place that a lot of us get in. |
| 1:36.7 | He was in a place where things were coming against him that were bigger than his ability to solve them. |
| 1:48.1 | This is all happening, by the way, in about 850 BC. |
| 1:53.9 | And where we're going to pick up in Second Chronicles 20, if you have scripture, is in the city of Jerusalem. So can we just frame all this historically? This isn't just a Bible story. This is a |
| 1:59.4 | historical story. This is the king of |
| 2:01.7 | Judah, Jehoshaphat in Jerusalem in 850 BC. And as we open up in chapter one, it says this. |
| 2:13.1 | I mean in verse one, it says this. After this, the Moabites and Ammonites, we got a lot ofites and people and |
