Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Savon Theater.

So glad you're here tonight. You made it. I'm Judah. Married to Chelsea. We want to make sure that you do not feel alone in this beautiful, glorious, but sometimes challenging city. Deal? So tonight, if you've never

felt like quitting, if you've never felt like calling it, waving the white flag, saying I'm done,

it's over, then this sermon will not relate to you.

You've come on the wrong night. If your whole life has been one succession of a miraculous

parade of wonderful things and you've never felt like quitting, perhaps I might not even be

the preacher you've been looking for. But if you're here tonight and you

have wondered at times, what's going on? Why am I doing this? And what's the point? I want to

explain to you in a story, the story of Noah. I want to explain to you why I keep going and why, not only that I'm

still doing this, but why I'm still here, believing that when the sun rises and the sunsets

and the moon and the stars appear, that God is conspiring on my behalf to work things together for my good.

And it gives me a sense of hope.

If you've ever felt hopelessness, if you've ever felt meaninglessness in life,

again, this message is for you.

And so I begin where every good preacher begins, and that is with ESPN.

I'm in my bathtub recently, and I'm doing what men of God do. I'm scrolling ESPN for highlight videos,

because sports for me are more than a metaphor.

Sports is life. Judeo relax. I love sports, right? And to be honest right now, it's kind of a euphoric time because any article that comes up about NFL football is like, man, my team

rules and rains. So I'm just enjoying the ESPN feed. About two or three mornings ago,

I'm in the bathtub, Ebson salts, you get it. I'm soaking in a two scoop Ebson salt bath.

And there's sometimes, some days are one scoop, some days are two scoop, depending on how you're

feeling.
