Fresh off their 11-city Breakaway Tour, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros return to the studio to process the post-World Cup soccer landscape. Christian kicks off the episode with an unbelievable travel horror story about a chaotic flight delay from Miami to Dallas involving an intoxicated passenger, an unruly accusation, and an emergency flight attendant swap. The hosts then dive into a blueprint for the future, detailing radical ways to overhaul US Soccer and turn the USMNT into legitimate contenders for the 2030 World Cup—from ending pay-to-play under Arsène Wenger and merging CONCACAF with CONMEBOL to creating a 50-state "States Cup" tournament. Next, the guys welcome USMNT midfielder Tyler Adams for an exclusive, wide-ranging interview. Tyler breaks his silence on the team's World Cup exit against Belgium, setting the record straight on what really went down in camp when Folarin Balogun's red card suspension was rescinded 20 hours before kickoff. He reflects on Mauricio Pochettino's front-foot tactical philosophy, reveals why Pochettino declaring he "wished he was American" after singing Country Roads was his favorite team memory, and details his ongoing community mini-pitch initiative with Allstate. Finally, the hosts analyze the summer transfer window frenzy and critique the latest kit drops across world football. They break down major moves including Morgan Rogers' £117M transfer to Chelsea, Anthony Gordon joining Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski signing with the Chicago Fire, and Casemiro's move to Inter Miami amid LA Galaxy discovery-rights drama. They close out the show with a look at Manchester City and Real Madrid's roster overhauls, Sebastian Berhalter's transfer to Middlesbrough, and a fashion breakdown of the best and worst jerseys of the season.   Timestamps: (00:00) — Post-Tour Return & Christian's Wild Flight Delay Story (12:29) — 10 Ways to Fix the USMNT & Win the 2030 World Cup (41:46) — Tyler Adams Exclusive: Balogun Red Card Drama, Poch's Impact & Belgium Defeat (51:49) — Blockbuster Transfers: Morgan Rogers to Chelsea & Anthony Gordon to Barça (01:01:41) — MLS Transfer Chaos: Casemiro, Lewandowski & Sebastian Berhalter (01:13:20) — European Giants Overhaul: Man City's Rebuild & Real Madrid's Free Transfers (01:20:26) — Kit Reviews: Best & Worst Jersey Drops of the Season Subscribe to The Cooligans on your favorite podcast app:

If you would go ahead, grab a Bible and turn to 2 Samuel 22. If you don't have a Bible, I want to encourage you to grab one of the black ones that are under the seats right in front of you. We're going to be on page 313. I'm going to put some of the extra passages and verses on the screen for us, but the bulk of our time is just going to be walking through this passage together. So, we want you to have a Bible in your hands.If we haven't met yet, my name is Matt Freeman. I get the opportunity to serve here as a lay pastor. And most Sundays you'll see me up here with a guitar in my hands or maybe playing piano and leading worship. But I am thankful for the times where I get the opportunity to teach our church family when it makes the most sense for our team. The truth is I'm usually just called in for the passages that Chet and Spencer find too difficult. But today is a little bit more in my wheelhouse.And so we're coming to the end of our time in 1 and 2 Samuel and we're bringing our study on the life of David to a close. And Chet mentioned this last week, but we have left the chronological flow of things and we've really just entered into the epilogue where the writer of 1 and 2 Samuel is just highlighting specific vignettes in David's life for us to focus in on to learn something from. But part of what's interesting here is that the books of 1 and 2 Samuel are historical narrative, meaning that they're just giving us a historical account of the people of God. And we've been tracing that through the lives of Samuel and then Saul and now David.But in this epilogue, we're given a song, which is crazy because we've been walking through all of this history, but now we're given a song. In fact, in the ESV, the title is David's Song of Deliverance. And so, it's at least curious enough for us to lean in and go, why a song? Why here? And for me, I love music. So, I'm pumped about the fact that it's a song.I listen to music constantly. I am either playing or singing all the time. People who know me well know my life is like I'm a walking musical. But music has this incredible power about it. It has the ability to make us feel things more deeply than we could without it. Just imagine your favorite movie without the musical score behind it.Imagine Jaws without the two notes getting faster and faster and faster. Imagine the opening of a Star Wars movie without the fanfare. It's just words suddenly going across your screen at an awkward angle. Think about it. Think about going to a wedding. The doors open.The bride walks in and it's just shuffling feet. Music helps us feel that moments matter. Music also helps us remember things way more easily. Some of you have a very deep bank of song lyrics. Some of those songs you wish you could forget, but you just remember songs. Let's play a game.[He prompts the congregation with a brief Bon Jovi lyric, and they sing the response in harmony.] That wasn't just melody. It was harmony. Like, also, I bet you didn't have singing Bon Jovi on your bingo card for this morning. But we could play that game all morning long. Music's also a part of how we learned. Nearly half of everything you learned in elementary school was set to a song.It's part of how we give honor and celebrate. It's why we sing happy birthday. We do the national anthem. You know, over the course of your life, music is how you got through your first breakup. Music's how you got pumped up for a game. You know that if you're at a college football game and the band kicks in, it's go time.Music helps us feel these things. And here's the reality. God created music. He beautifully and intentionally and creatively baked all of this stuff into it, and he made it important in the life of his people. Roughly one-third of the Old Testament is divinely inspired poetry. The book in the Bible with the largest number of chapters and one of the largest books in the Bible is the book of Psalms.John Piper says in the Psalms you can find 27 different human emotions and how they're given expression in relation to God. The people of God are a musical people. We're singing people. We're commanded over 50 times in the Bible to sing to the Lord. And here we are at the end of historical narrative and we're given a song. And it's not just any song.It's a song that's so important that it's not just put in the Bible once, it's in the Bible twice. We have a near verbatim replica of this song given to us in Psalm 18 that we started as our call to worship this morning. And so, knowing that God's the creator of music and knowing all that he's put into it, why do we get this song here? So at this season of David's life, after decades of war and strife and danger and hundreds of deliverances, it says that David now has rest from his enemies and from Saul. He's now a successful and powerful king. And what does David do?He worships God. In the ancient world, when earthly kings came to the end of their lives and they wanted people to celebrate their victories and conquest, they would build monuments to themselves. They wanted future generations to look at their strength, their power, their accomplishments, but not David. David doesn't say, "Look at me." He says, "Look at God." The song is not a monument to David's victories.It's a testimony to David's God. And so its placement here in the epilogue is to teach us that it's all about God. So in some ways this morning, David's going to teach us about worship. We're going to walk through this song together, and we're going to let David fix our eyes on the Lord. Hopefully by the end of it, we're going to see how this song extends to us, into our lives and into our story as well. So let's ask the Lord to help us do that.Would you pray with me? God, we know that you have intentionally placed this song in the epilogue after we've seen so much of David's story for a reason. So, I pray that you would help us let David fix our eyes on you this morning. That we would see why David worships you his whole life long. And that would extend into our story as well. In Jesus' name, amen.So, let's take a look at it together. 2 Samuel 22. Again, this is mirrored in Psalm 18, meaning it's not just David's personal song. It is meant to be a song of deliverance for all of God's people. And what we're going to see here is that this song is all about David's God, not David's victories. But verse one gets us into it. It says this:> And David spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. (2 Samuel 22:1 ESV)It just sets the context for the song. We're not actually into the song yet. And it says that David spoke these words to the LORD. So LORD, if you're looking in your Bible, it's capitalized.It's L O R D. This is the personal covenant name of God that he gave to his people. This is Yahweh. And so David is singing this song to his personal God, Yahweh. And again, we've left chronology here. We don't know exactly when this sits in David's life, but we've read 1 and 2 Samuel, so we know a lot of things.We know the kinds of deliverances that he's been delivered from. We know at least we can go back to one of our first encounters where God delivers David from Goliath and then battle after battle with the Philistines and then from Saul. But we've also seen that once he becomes king, he's delivered from his son Absalom, who rebels against him. He goes on the run. Most recently, we looked at the rebellion of Sheba. And so David, looking back over a lifetime of deliverance with gratitude in his heart, can't help but erupt in praise to the Lord.And so let's pick it back up in verse two. We'll go through seven:> He said, “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,> my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,> my shield, and the horn of my salvation,> my stronghold and my refuge,> my savior; you save me from violence.> I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,> and I am saved from my enemies.> For the waves of death encompassed me,> the torrents of destruction assailed me;> the cords of Sheol entangled me;> the snares of death confronted me.> In my distress I called upon the LORD;> to my God I called.> From his temple he heard my voice,> and my cry came to his ears. (2 Samuel 22:2–7 ESV)You can just feel the language of an old, battle-worn warrior here.David has continually found his strength in the Lord. And so he reaches for every word that he can find. Look back at it. It says rock, fortress, deliverer, shield, horn, stronghold, refuge. But notice, David is not just teaching us to praise God only when life feels good and settled.He's teaching us how to praise God in the middle of every season. He remembers the waves of death, the torrents of destruction, the days when he felt alone and afraid, surrounded and desperate for rescue. And yet in all of it, he cries out to the Lord and he praises the Lord. So he praises God in the midst of his strength and in his weakness, in his victories and in his fears. In the midst of the battle and when he's been delivered, he turns all of it into worship. And let me step to the side for a moment and go into worship leader mode. Again, David's teaching us about worship. This isn't the main point of the passage, but I do think there are a couple of things that help highlight for us why corporate worship matters.Okay, first one is this. We sing to God in every season of life. So, it matters that we sing songs like that on Sunday morning. When we come into this room, we're going to sing songs of praise like we've done this morning. We have sung “Cornerstone” and “The Rock Won't Move,” high songs of praise to God. But we also need songs in the midst of pain and grief and lament.Songs like “Lord, I Need You” or “He Will Hold Me Fast.” We need songs for all of it on Sunday morning because we all come into this room in different seasons of life. And we have a God who can relate to us in all of it. So, we want those songs to be reflected.It also means that we sing to God, but also for the benefit of everyone else in the room. This morning, when our vocalists pulled the mics down and you could just hear the room singing, it was incredible. This is one of my favorite verses. This is from Ephesians 5:19. This is Paul talking to the church, giving them some instructions.It says, “Addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart.” So, we sing for God, to God, but it's also for the benefit of everyone else around us. And so, there have been times, guys, where I've walked into this room and I've been struggling. I've been hurting. I wasn't leading worship. I was just in a seat. And we start singing songs, and I'm looking at the screen and having a hard time believing the words that are up there.But I start looking around the room at my brothers and sisters, and I see them singing. I see the couple who's just lost a child. I see the marriage that is struggling. I see the brother or sister who is currently walking through a battle with sin. And they're standing, and with faith and hope and trust they're praising the Lord. Suddenly I'm encouraged because I'm looking at their faith, and I'm back to my feet and singing, which kind of makes the third point obvious. It highlights why it's important that we regularly gather and participate on Sunday mornings. It's not just enough to come into this room.God has intentionally put something in the times where we are singing to him and singing for the benefit of others that is meant to teach us how to walk the journey of faith with him in all seasons. And again, David's teaching us about worship here. We're seeing God for who he is. And then he continues back in the passage. He's going to paint this picture for us a little bit more here. He's going to use even more colorful and descriptive language for us to describe how the Lord has delivered him time and again.Let's pick it back up in verse 8:> Then the earth reeled and rocked;> the foundations of the heavens trembled> and quaked, because he was angry.> Smoke went up from his nostrils,> and devouring fire from his mouth;> glowing coals flamed forth from him.> He bowed the heavens and came down;> thick darkness was under his feet.> He rode on a cherub and flew;> he was seen on the wings of the wind.> He made darkness around him his canopy,> thick clouds, a gathering of water.> Out of the brightness before him> coals of fire flamed forth.> The LORD thundered from heaven,> and the Most High uttered his voice.> And he sent out arrows and scattered them;> lightning, and routed them.> Then the channels of the sea were seen;> the foundations of the world were laid bare,> at the rebuke of the LORD,> at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. (2 Samuel 22:8–16 ESV)The reality here is that we have such a finite capability to comprehend the glory and the magnitude and the majesty of our Creator God. And there's something about this type of poetic and metaphorical and descriptive language that just plainly saying it does not get across.Let me give you an example of this. Someone could say, “I would like to travel to my hometown in the mountains because I have a positive emotional connection with it.” That's technically clear. That's communicating information. Or someone could do this.[Sings a brief excerpt from “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”]And now what could have been a plain sentence is emotion and longing and geography and family and home. The plain sentence may be true, but the song engages us in a completely different way. And that's exactly what David's doing right here. David's not giving us a weather report. He's not saying that smoke literally came out of God's nose or that God physically flew on a cherub through the clouds. He's reaching for language that's big enough to help us picture and feel what ordinary language cannot: that when the God of the heavens and the earth chooses to move to rescue his servant, it's as if the whole world were laid bare.Plain language can tell us that God delivered David. But there's something about this type of language that helps us feel the majesty of the God who does the saving. So, David reaches for earthquakes, fire, smoke, thunder, darkness, and lightning. Because when God comes to save, he doesn't come lightly. And he continues on with some of this kind of metaphorical language. Again, he's trying to help us picture it. He continues in a similar way back in verse 17.Let's read a few verses here:> He sent from on high, he took me;> he drew me out of many waters.> He rescued me from my strong enemy,> from those who hated me,> for they were too mighty for me.> They confronted me in the day of my calamity,> but the LORD was my support.> He brought me out into a broad place;> he rescued me, because he delighted in me. (2 Samuel 22:17–20 ESV)I mean, it's just beautiful, right? It's this picture of David drowning beneath the waves, and God pulls him out and rescues him. It's similar language to what we see used to describe the Israelites coming out of Egypt: they come through the water. He rescues them.Have you ever been in a situation where you felt like you were drowning? Like literally drowning. It's terrifying. I actually have a couple of these stories from growing up. So, when we were growing up, we used to go to the state park in my hometown. It's not in West Virginia; it's in South Carolina. We would go to the lake.They had this nice swimming area. There was a beach. There was a part where you could swim that was kind of partitioned off with buoys so that you knew that you could touch. And we had gone there with some friends. But out beyond the buoys, there was this dock. It was about 40 feet from the shore. And on this dock was a high dive.And so, you know, we're there with friends. It's like, let's go. All right. So, we're going to swim beyond where our feet could touch. And we're going to swim past the buoys out all the way to this dock. We're going to clamor up on the dock.And then, you know, we've seen people jumping. My friends go to jump. And so I ascend the ladder and get to the top of this high dive. And most people were just kind of jumping off. Well, I thought I'm going to do a flip. And a flip I did.And so I did that flip and then I just kept going. So guys, I hit the water and all the air left my body and my body froze and I started going underneath the water. And then my body woke up and so I thrashed to the surface and I'm screaming and crying and I'm disoriented because I don't know where I'm at. And thankfully there were lifeguards in canoes because obviously this has happened before. And so they come over to me and they pull me from the water into this canoe. And if everybody had not been watching just by the sheer sound of me hitting the water, they're watching now because I am screaming and crying.And now they've got to canoe me the 40 feet back to the shore. And you know, my friends still love to tell this story. They laugh about it all the time. They think it's super embarrassing. And I just remind them it's not a big deal. I'm sure that happens to a lot of 17-year-olds.To be fair, I was in third grade, but it was still super embarrassing, and it does come up in stories a lot. But all jokes aside, guys, there was a moment where if they're not there and they don't pull me from the water, I don't know. And that's what the king of Israel is saying. David's saying, “If not for God, if God had not pulled me from the water, I was sunk.” It's beautiful, just incredible language. And again, he's given us a picture here.He continues on. Verse 21 says:> The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness;> according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.> For I have kept the ways of the LORD> and have not wickedly departed from my God.> For all his rules were before me,> and from his statutes I did not turn aside.> I was blameless before him,> and I kept myself from guilt.> And the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness,> according to my cleanness in his sight. (2 Samuel 22:21–25 ESV)This is where the song gets a little difficult to process. David says, “The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness.” And immediately we want to stop him and be like, “David, buddy, we've read the story. We've read 2 Samuel.” And again, we don't know where this falls in David's life, but we know where the writer of 2 Samuel put it after we've already read all of this mess.We know about the adultery with Bathsheba. We know about the murder of Uriah and all the chaos that ensues from that, the failures in leadership. There's deep mess that marks parts of David's life. So when David says, "I was blameless before him," it feels out of alignment to us. And part of the reason it feels strange is because we tend to only have two categories for this type of claim. Perfection or failure.So either you get it all right or you fail. You don't. You're disqualified. So when David talks about righteousness and blamelessness, we hear him claiming perfection. But that's not actually what David's doing here.David's not saying, "I never sinned." We know that he sinned. He knows that he sinned. He's saying he kept the ways of the Lord. In verse 22, it says, "I have not wickedly departed from my God." When David sinned, he repented.When Nathan confronted him over Bathsheba and Uriah, David didn't harden his heart like Saul had done. He broke before the Lord. David knew that he sinned. Psalm 51 is David's repentance from his sin. And I think that's part of why Scripture can describe David in such unique terms. Maybe you'll remember this from 1 Samuel.This is after Saul had sinned, and Samuel comes to him and says this to Saul: “But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought out a man after his own heart. And the LORD has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.” The difference between Saul and David is that David repented when he was confronted in his sin. And so the righteousness here is not sinless perfection.It's covenant faithfulness. It's loyalty to the Lord. It's why David can be described as a man after God's own heart. Not because David never failed. It was because even in his failure, he kept coming back to the Lord. And that's extraordinarily good news for us: part of keeping the ways of the Lord and the decrees of God is that he has made provision for sinners to come to him.And part of how we follow faithfully is that we own it. We confess our sin to the Lord. We confess our brokenness and we repent and we turn from it. And so again, David's teaching us about worship. He shows us that the faithful life is not a sinless life. The faithful life is a repentant life.The life that keeps returning to a God who saves, to a God who gives grace. And he keeps describing that God in the next few verses. Pick it back up in verse 26:> With the merciful you show yourself merciful;> with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;> with the purified you deal purely,> and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.> You save a humble people,> but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.> For you are my lamp, O LORD,> and my God lightens my darkness.> For by you I can run against a troop,> and by my God I can leap over a wall.> This God—his way is perfect;> the word of the LORD proves true;> he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. (2 Samuel 22:26–31 ESV)Isn't that so good? It's what we read out loud together just a little while ago. He shows himself merciful. He saves a humble people who know that they need it. He's a shield to those who will run behind the shield to seek refuge in him.He's a lamp that lightens the darkness. This is why it's important that the songs that we sing tell us the full counsel of God as revealed in his word. We can look back at verses 8–16 and see a God who's mighty and big and in majesty and thunders and can lay the world bare, who's also merciful and gracious and patient. And so we've proclaimed with David, “This God—his way is perfect.” It's incredible. And so we're going to continue on in verse 32.And this time we're going to read a little bit larger section. And I want us to be looking for who's the main player, who's the focus of the passage. You're going to see all kinds of pictures, so many of the stories that we've already read about David, but I want you to look for who's the focus as we walk through this. Pick it up in verse 32:> For who is God, but the LORD?> And who is a rock, except our God?> This God is my strong refuge> and has made my way blameless.> He made my feet like the feet of a deer> and set me secure on the heights.> He trains my hands for war,> so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.> You have given me the shield of your salvation,> and your gentleness made me great.> You gave a wide place for my steps under me,> and my feet did not slip;> I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,> and did not turn back until they were consumed.> I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise;> they fell under my feet.> For you equipped me with strength for the battle;> you made those who rise against me sink under me.> You made my enemies turn their backs to me,> those who hated me, and I destroyed them.> They looked, but there was none to save;> they cried to the LORD, but he did not answer them.> I beat them fine as the dust of the earth;> I crushed them and stamped them down like the mire of the streets.> You delivered me from strife with my people;> you kept me as the head of the nations;> people whom I had not known served me.> Foreigners came cringing to me;> as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.> Foreigners lost heart> and came trembling out of their fortresses. (2 Samuel 22:32–46 ESV)Notice who's the most important.Who's the focus? God trains, strengthens, enlarges, makes, sets, protects, subdues enemies, and establishes David. The message is simple. David fights, but it's God who wins. This is one of Scripture's clearest pictures of divine sovereignty working through human responsibility. David acts, but God is ultimately the one who's in control of all things.And so in this song, it becomes clear who gets the glory. Who's the focus? It's God. David may be telling his story, but David's not the hero of the story. God is the hero of David's story. And David knows this.I think it's why it's included here in the epilogue. This is the king telling his people, “Look to God. He's the deliverer.” David never takes the credit. He says it's about God. This is one of the reasons why on Sunday mornings, the large majority of the songs that we sing are either about God or to God, versus what we do or what we're going to do for God.There's a place for the latter, but this psalm reinforces that if we're talking about what we've done or what we're going to do, it's all because the Lord is sovereign over all of it. We act, but he's in control. He's the one who gets the glory. And at this point, David kind of reverts back to where he was at the beginning of the song. He just explodes back into praise. Let's finish the song.Verse 47 to the end:> The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock,> and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation,> the God who gave me vengeance> and brought down peoples under me,> who brought me out from my enemies;> you exalted me above those who rose against me;> you delivered me from men of violence.> For this I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations,> and sing praises to your name.> Great salvation he brings to his king,> and shows steadfast love to his anointed,> to David and his offspring forever. (2 Samuel 22:47–51 ESV)The song ends where it began with praise, but now the praise expands. David says, “I will praise you among the nations.” He understood that the blessings of God were meant to extend to all peoples of the earth. Which is really good news for us because David was a Hebrew, and this song is in the Hebrew songbook.So it's good news that it was meant to extend to the nations because that's most of us, right? This becomes missionary theology in the New Testament. Paul quotes this verse in Romans 15, talking about the mission of God, God's glory going to the nations, going everywhere. And so this song has been driving. It's been in a slow, big build and crescendo to the finale, which is really this final verse. And so, we're going to look at the final verse again and focus in on it because there are some key words here that should really pull our minds towards covenant language.Let's look at it again. It says, “Great salvation he brings to his king and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever.” It says, “Great salvation he brings to his king.” That's the first time that word has shown up in this entire psalm: king. And we think about God establishing David as the king. It says he shows steadfast love. This is the Hebrew word hesed.We see it show up in Moses. We see it show up around 200 times in the Old Testament alone. This is God moving and working. It's a reminder of his covenant love to his people. He shows steadfast love to his anointed. We know that David's the anointed king, but the word for anointed here is Messiah. Then there's offspring.We see that it's coming through a line, and this is a throne that's going to be established forever. And these are not just random words. All of these are echoes of God's covenant with David. And so to refresh our minds for this, I want us to look back at 2 Samuel 7, where God has given this covenant to David, because I think it's going to help us see it. It says this:> When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever. (2 Samuel 7:12–16 ESV)And here's what we know. The kingship passes to Solomon, and Solomon fulfills some of this. He does build a temple, but then he also makes some terrible decisions, and then he dies. The kingdom passes to his son Rehoboam, and almost immediately everything goes sideways. The kingdom splits, and it's never reunited.So the question remains, how will this kingdom be established forever? What kind of king can receive all of the promises of David and never lose them? What kind of son can reign forever? And as we read verse 51 and this section in 2 Samuel 7, I hope for the Christians in the room, all of the light switches have just started to turn on because it's all pointing to Jesus. The answer is Jesus. Look back at it here: “Great salvation he brings to his king.”It's the kind of king who would step off his throne and come down to his people in the greatest act of steadfast love. He comes as the one who is anointed, the long-awaited one, the Messiah. He comes in the line of David, and he comes to establish a kingdom that will last forever. Not an earthly kingdom but an eternal kingdom. This song ultimately belongs to the greater son of David. David can sing this song as a repentant king upheld by grace. But Jesus can sing it as the perfectly righteous king whose hands were truly clean, who perfectly kept the ways of the Lord, who never sinfully departed from his God, who was truly blameless.And here's the wonder of the gospel. The only king who was worthy to be rewarded for his righteousness traded places with us. At the cross, the righteous king was treated as the guilty one so that guilty people could be made righteous in him. He came and entered the storm of judgment for us. He bore the wrath that we deserved. He died the death that we should have died. And he rose again in victory as the deliverer.So this song is fulfilled in Jesus. And because it's true of Jesus, it gets to be true for everyone who belongs to Jesus. When David says, "The Lord is my rock," we know even more fully that Christ is our rock and our firm foundation. When David says, "The Lord is my fortress," we know even more fully that we are safe and secure in Christ.When David says, "The Lord is my deliverer," we relish in the fact that Jesus delivered us from sin and from death and from hell. When David says, "He rescued me because he delighted in me," we know that even more in Christ because the Father delights in the Son. And by faith, we're united to the Son. And so David writes this song about his life, but the song's not ultimately about David. It's about David's God. The story of David's life is God's faithfulness to David through every season—in danger, in deliverance, in weakness, in victory, in sin, in repentance, in sorrow, and in joy.David looks back over his life and he says, "Don't look at me. Look at the God who's been faithful." And because this song is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, it gets to be true for us as well. The band's going to come back up, and they're going to lead us in a final song. But I want you to focus here for just a few more moments because I have a question I want to ask you and I want you to consider. If you were to write a song about your life, what would it be about?What would the lyrics be? Who would the song be about? Would it be a song that's about striving or achieving, building, trying to make a name for ourselves? Would it be a song that's about anxiety or worry or seeking to be in control or trying to white knuckle our way through life as if everything depended on us? Or would it be a song like David's a testimony that through every season God has been faithful? And the good news for you this morning is that in Jesus, this song gets to be your song.It gets to be my song. That his rescue becomes my rescue. That his refuge is my refuge. That this king is my king. And one day, every song of deliverance will roll into the new song of eternity. Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.So until that day, let's keep singing like David. Let every rescued sinner echo this refrain from verse 47. The Lord lives and blessed be my rock and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation. Let's pray. God, you have been faithful and good throughout my life. Help me use every breath to sing of your goodness. In Jesus' name, amen.

How'd a 1971 country-pop anthem about West Virginia... inspire a 1995 anime classic about teens in Tokyo?

Guests include director Gurinder Chadha and musician Bally Sagoo on BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM's bhangra bangers, and movie star Jack O'Connell on THIS IS ENGLAND, the ska-fueled drama that introduced him to audiences.YUKI'S SUN is now streaming almost globally as a part of the Drawn to Life: Animated Films collection on MUBI. FLOW is now streaming on MUBI in the UK and Ireland. To stream some of the films we've covered on the podcast, check out the collection Featured on the MUBI Podcast.
