The<00:26:48.420><c> needs</c><00:26:48.700><c> we</c><00:26:48.960><c> encounter</c><00:26:49.319><c> in</c><00:26:49.440><c> the</c><00:26:49.680><c> truth,</c><00:26:49.980><c> through</c><00:26:50.079><c> our</c><00:26:50.220><c> life</c>

00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:54.099

00:26:56.700 --> 00:27:01.640
As<00:26:57.339><c> we'll</c><00:26:57.519><c> see</c><00:26:57.680><c> through</c><00:26:57.859><c> Peter's</c><00:26:58.259><c> story,</c><00:26:58.440><c> he</c><00:26:58.559><c> was</c><00:26:58.740><c> not</c><00:26:58.900><c> naturally</c><00:26:59.559><c> inclined</c><00:26:59.940><c> to</c><00:27:00.279><c> be</c><00:27:00.839><c> stable</c>

00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:04.460

00:27:04.460 --> 00:27:05.380

00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:08.480
It's<00:27:05.880><c> a</c><00:27:05.920><c> good</c><00:27:06.059><c> lesson</c><00:27:06.339><c> for</c><00:27:06.539><c> us</c><00:27:06.980><c> in</c><00:27:07.220><c> that</c><00:27:07.420><c> we</c><00:27:07.819><c> sometimes</c><00:27:08.279><c> need</c>

00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:10.539

00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:15.019
regardless<00:27:11.200><c> if</c><00:27:11.480><c> we</c><00:27:11.940><c> feel</c><00:27:12.259><c> that</c><00:27:12.500><c> might</c><00:27:12.740><c> be</c><00:27:13.099><c> our</c><00:27:13.640><c> natural</c><00:27:14.119><c> talent.</c>

00:27:15.700 --> 00:27:18.400
If<00:27:15.880><c> we</c><00:27:16.039><c> read</c><00:27:16.220><c> on</c><00:27:16.539><c> in</c><00:27:16.819><c> John</c><00:27:17.059><c> down</c><00:27:17.319><c> to</c><00:27:17.480><c> verse</c><00:27:17.740><c> 43,</c>

00:27:18.859 --> 00:27:21.740
we<00:27:18.960><c> see</c><00:27:19.079><c> that</c><00:27:19.279><c> Jesus</c><00:27:19.599><c> turns</c><00:27:20.059><c> north</c><00:27:20.519><c> to</c><00:27:20.900><c> the</c><00:27:20.980><c> region</c><00:27:21.220><c> of</c><00:27:21.480><c> Galilee</c>

00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:24.599
and<00:27:21.880><c> then</c><00:27:22.019><c> goes</c><00:27:22.319><c> to</c><00:27:22.740><c> Andrew</c><00:27:23.019><c> and</c><00:27:23.200><c> Peter's</c><00:27:23.539><c> hometown</c><00:27:23.940><c> of</c><00:27:24.140><c> Bethsaida.</c>

00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:28.359
Here<00:27:25.400><c> the</c><00:27:25.539><c> narrative</c><00:27:25.839><c> switches</c><00:27:26.259><c> to</c><00:27:26.519><c> the</c><00:27:26.720><c> call</c><00:27:27.019><c> of</c><00:27:27.339><c> Philip</c><00:27:27.539><c> and</c><00:27:27.660><c> Nathaniel,</c>

00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:31.220
and<00:27:28.700><c> it</c><00:27:28.779><c> seems</c><00:27:28.980><c> once</c><00:27:29.240><c> back</c><00:27:29.460><c> at</c><00:27:29.640><c> home,</c><00:27:30.440><c> Peter</c><00:27:30.539><c> resumed</c><00:27:30.980><c> his</c>

00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:31.839
normal<00:27:31.440><c> life.</c>

00:27:32.220 --> 00:27:34.440
That's<00:27:32.480><c> because</c><00:27:32.680><c> the</c><00:27:32.819><c> next</c><00:27:33.000><c> time</c><00:27:33.119><c> we</c><00:27:33.240><c> encounter</c><00:27:33.640><c> him,</c><00:27:34.259><c> he's</c>

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:36.359
not<00:27:34.700><c> following</c><00:27:35.059><c> Jesus</c><00:27:35.400><c> anymore,</c>

00:27:36.420 --> 00:27:38.519
but<00:27:36.539><c> he's</c><00:27:36.740><c> working</c><00:27:36.980><c> as</c><00:27:37.240><c> his</c><00:27:37.480><c> fishing</c><00:27:38.019><c> business.</c>

00:27:38.819 --> 00:27:40.799
So<00:27:39.079><c> there</c><00:27:39.319><c> ends</c><00:27:39.759><c> the</c><00:27:40.160><c> first</c><00:27:40.440><c> call.</c>

00:27:41.099 --> 00:27:43.980
Peter's<00:27:41.539><c> renamed,</c><00:27:42.380><c> then</c><00:27:42.559><c> life</c><00:27:42.700><c> goes</c><00:27:42.859><c> back</c><00:27:43.079><c> to</c><00:27:43.220><c> normal.</c>

00:27:44.099 --> 00:27:45.559
For<00:27:44.259><c> the</c><00:27:44.420><c> second</c><00:27:44.619><c> call,</c><00:27:44.759><c> we're</c><00:27:44.859><c> going</c><00:27:45.000><c> to</c><00:27:45.079><c> take</c><00:27:45.240><c> a</c><00:27:45.299><c> look</c><00:27:45.440><c> at</c>

00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:55.140

00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:03.180
When<00:28:01.180><c> we</c><00:28:01.420><c> enter</c><00:28:01.599><c> this</c><00:28:01.819><c> account,</c><00:28:02.160><c> it</c><00:28:02.160><c> seems</c><00:28:02.380><c> that</c><00:28:02.640><c> some</c><00:28:02.960><c> time</c>

00:28:03.180 --> 00:28:03.740
has<00:28:03.579><c> passed.</c>

00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.359
We're<00:28:03.880><c> not</c><00:28:04.039><c> told</c><00:28:04.220><c> how</c><00:28:04.480><c> much,</c><00:28:05.119><c> but</c><00:28:05.259><c> the</c><00:28:05.400><c> scene</c><00:28:05.500><c> is</c><00:28:05.720><c> no</c><00:28:05.960><c> longer</c>

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:09.359
We're<00:28:07.579><c> now</c><00:28:07.980><c> at</c><00:28:08.339><c> the</c><00:28:08.500><c> Sea</c><00:28:08.619><c> of</c><00:28:08.779><c> Galilee,</c><00:28:09.220><c> right?</c>

00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:10.859

It<00:34:46.300><c> applies</c><00:34:46.619><c> to</c><00:34:46.860><c> leisure</c><00:34:47.099><c> activities,</c><00:34:47.960><c> to</c><00:34:48.019><c> school,</c><00:34:48.440><c> to</c><00:34:48.539><c> every</c>

00:34:50.460 --> 00:34:52.320
It's<00:34:50.619><c> a</c><00:34:50.760><c> principle</c><00:34:50.940><c> that's</c><00:34:51.199><c> probably</c><00:34:51.460><c> most</c><00:34:51.719><c> clearly</c><00:34:52.079><c> stated</c>

00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:58.980
When<00:34:55.760><c> Jesus</c><00:34:56.079><c> visits</c><00:34:56.460><c> the</c><00:34:56.639><c> two</c><00:34:56.820><c> of</c><00:34:56.980><c> them,</c><00:34:57.440><c> Martha</c><00:34:57.440><c> busied</c><00:34:57.760><c> herself</c><00:34:58.320><c> with</c>

00:35:06.300 --> 00:35:09.320
We<00:35:06.619><c> too</c><00:35:06.840><c> need</c><00:35:07.039><c> to</c><00:35:07.179><c> learn</c><00:35:07.320><c> to</c><00:35:07.519><c> always</c><00:35:07.860><c> choose</c><00:35:08.179><c> that</c><00:35:08.599><c> better</c><00:35:08.900><c> part.</c>

00:35:09.739 --> 00:35:11.840

00:35:23.739 --> 00:35:26.280
Jesus<00:35:24.039><c> asks</c><00:35:24.559><c> him</c><00:35:24.739><c> to</c><00:35:24.900><c> come</c><00:35:25.199><c> and</c><00:35:25.500><c> push</c><00:35:25.739><c> out</c><00:35:25.960><c> the</c><00:35:26.059><c> boat.</c>

00:35:26.659 --> 00:35:29.679
He<00:35:26.760><c> had</c><00:35:26.920><c> a</c><00:35:26.940><c> choice.</c><00:35:27.900><c> Was</c><00:35:28.059><c> he</c><00:35:28.139><c> going</c><00:35:28.280><c> to</c><00:35:28.360><c> get</c><00:35:28.519><c> involved</c><00:35:28.940><c> or</c><00:35:29.239><c> stay</c>

00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:34.099
It<00:35:32.139><c> seems</c><00:35:32.280><c> he</c><00:35:32.360><c> chose</c><00:35:32.619><c> to</c><00:35:32.760><c> get</c><00:35:32.920><c> involved,</c><00:35:33.239><c> at</c><00:35:33.340><c> least</c><00:35:33.500><c> to</c><00:35:33.639><c> the</c><00:35:33.739><c> extent</c><00:35:33.940><c> of</c>

00:35:36.340 --> 00:35:39.239
And<00:35:36.480><c> once</c><00:35:36.860><c> he</c><00:35:37.539><c> pushed</c><00:35:37.780><c> that</c><00:35:38.019><c> boat</c><00:35:38.199><c> out</c><00:35:38.440><c> into</c><00:35:38.579><c> deeper</c><00:35:38.820><c> water,</c>

00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:41.619
it<00:35:39.599><c> looks</c><00:35:39.860><c> like</c><00:35:40.099><c> he</c><00:35:40.380><c> must</c><00:35:40.599><c> have</c><00:35:40.800><c> climbed</c><00:35:41.159><c> in</c><00:35:41.400><c> the</c><00:35:41.519><c> boat.</c>

00:35:41.619 --> 00:35:43.460
So<00:35:41.760><c> here</c><00:35:41.920><c> he</c><00:35:41.960><c> comes</c><00:35:42.159><c> down,</c><00:35:42.460><c> he's</c><00:35:42.559><c> watching</c><00:35:42.780><c> the</c><00:35:42.940><c> nets</c><00:35:43.059><c> over</c><00:35:43.280><c> on</c>

00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:48.599
Jesus<00:35:45.980><c> gets</c><00:35:46.179><c> back</c><00:35:46.380><c> to</c><00:35:46.500><c> the</c><00:35:46.639><c> water's</c><00:35:47.000><c> edge</c><00:35:47.219><c> and</c><00:35:47.940><c> asks</c><00:35:48.260><c> them</c><00:35:48.420><c> to</c>

00:35:49.539 --> 00:35:51.960
Peter<00:35:49.719><c> comes</c><00:35:49.940><c> out</c><00:35:50.159><c> and</c><00:35:50.280><c> does</c><00:35:50.420><c> so,</c><00:35:50.980><c> pushes</c><00:35:51.179><c> out</c><00:35:51.480><c> a</c><00:35:51.500><c> little</c><00:35:51.739><c> bit,</c>

00:35:52.099 --> 00:35:53.659
and<00:35:52.179><c> I</c><00:35:52.179><c> guess</c><00:35:52.420><c> at</c><00:35:52.579><c> some</c><00:35:52.840><c> point</c><00:35:52.980><c> it</c><00:35:53.039><c> was</c><00:35:53.219><c> deep</c><00:35:53.420><c> enough</c>

00:35:53.659 --> 00:35:56.019
that<00:35:54.079><c> Peter,</c><00:35:54.320><c> rather</c><00:35:54.579><c> than</c><00:35:54.619><c> going</c><00:35:54.820><c> back</c><00:35:55.039><c> into</c><00:35:55.199><c> shore,</c><00:35:55.780><c> hopped</c>

00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:01.619
But<00:35:58.880><c> it</c><00:35:59.039><c> seems</c><00:35:59.199><c> through</c><00:35:59.400><c> the</c><00:35:59.500><c> next</c><00:35:59.739><c> few</c><00:35:59.960><c> verses,</c><00:36:00.960><c> though</c><00:36:01.159><c> Peter</c><00:36:01.380><c> was</c>

00:36:02.539 --> 00:36:05.380
he<00:36:02.699><c> wasn't</c><00:36:03.000><c> really</c><00:36:03.480><c> getting</c><00:36:03.679><c> the</c><00:36:03.980><c> message,</c><00:36:04.860><c> and</c><00:36:05.019><c> Jesus</c><00:36:05.199><c> had</c>

00:36:06.940 --> 00:36:09.420
Perhaps<00:36:07.460><c> Peter,</c><00:36:08.000><c> though</c><00:36:08.219><c> physically</c><00:36:08.619><c> present</c><00:36:08.960><c> in</c><00:36:09.179><c> the</c><00:36:09.300><c> boat</c>

00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:26.079
So<00:36:24.559><c> if</c><00:36:24.639><c> you</c><00:36:24.699><c> look</c><00:36:24.840><c> through</c><00:36:25.000><c> every</c><00:36:25.179><c> single</c><00:36:25.400><c> instance</c><00:36:25.760><c> that</c><00:36:25.940><c> the</c>

00:36:28.619 --> 00:36:30.019

00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:33.360
It's<00:36:30.760><c> absolutely</c><00:36:31.260><c> significant</c><00:36:31.760><c> every</c><00:36:32.119><c> time</c><00:36:32.380><c> Jesus</c><00:36:32.840><c> uses</c><00:36:33.219><c> the</c>
