Today's talk comes from Pastor Louis Giglio.

This new collection that we're in is called Desperate.

And I think obviously that's what we are.

I was speaking at a camp in Durango, Colorado a few years back,

and I was taking a commuter flight from Denver over the Rockies to Durango.

And I'd already been told this particular flight is troublesome.

It's rocky.

The way the air currents work on the flight path that we have to take to go to Durango,

there's usually a lot of turbulence on this flight.

So I was already mentally prepared for that, but somewhere up above the Rockies, we lost pressure in this commuter plane. And the pilot immediately went into

a maneuver to get the plane to a lower altitude. The oxygen mass came down, people put them on,

they stretched the thing, the air did start flowing,

people started breathing because we were in a nose dive

to get to a lower altitude.

I heard more people pray out loud and boldly in that moment than I have heard pray sometimes in this church.

When we say, oh no, let's pray out loud. Let's let them hear our prayer. Let's let heaven hear our prayer. And in our house,

now, these people were like,

Dear God!

It was desperate.

And I want us to be a desperate people.
