Hi, I'm Erwin McManus and I want to welcome you to the Mosaic Podcast.

I want to also bring into some exciting things that are happening here.

If you go to the Mosaic app, you will learn about our conference coming up this year,

about MSC's new album and their tour across the

country and you can learn how to connect and be more involved in mosaic in so many

different ways and by the way we now have the mosaic YouTube channel

and you can go access not only these talks but

other fresh and new materials that are being created specifically for that

channel and so if you want to be connected in a richer and fuller way, not only be a part of the

podcast, get to the moussai gap, and get to the channel, and we'll see you there.

Okay, so look, we're going to start in 2nd Samuel 229.

It goes like this.

This is what David has to say.

It was like this chapter right here

is at the end of his life.

And all that he learned he put into this battle song, right?

It's a very long song. It has like 14 verses, you know, and they don't rhyme or they're not really

catchy either. You'd never see him on a

billboard thing but they were everything that David wanted to say to God and to

people and he's going to teach us his battle ready cry? In verse 29 it goes like this, he says, you Lord are my, what? You are my lamp. The Lord turns my darkness into light.

Just to think about that.

What is it, it's, you know, we've always just had to go and flip the switch and that's how you get darkness to light.
