00:13:05.299 --> 00:13:07.559
It's<00:13:05.460><c> derived</c><00:13:05.700><c> from</c><00:13:05.960><c> the</c><00:13:06.080><c> verb</c><00:13:06.279><c> theros,</c><00:13:06.860><c> which</c><00:13:07.019><c> is</c><00:13:07.220><c> the</c><00:13:07.360><c> Greek</c>

So<00:13:47.399><c> they</c><00:13:47.639><c> sounded</c><00:13:48.000><c> a</c><00:13:48.419><c> trumpet.</c><00:13:48.679><c> Now,</c><00:13:48.840><c> what</c><00:13:48.860><c> does</c><00:13:49.039><c> he</c><00:13:49.220><c> mean</c><00:13:49.799><c> by</c><00:13:50.120><c> this?</c>

00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:55.580
Well,<00:13:51.419><c> you</c><00:13:51.559><c> see,</c><00:13:52.039><c> trumpets</c><00:13:52.200><c> were</c><00:13:52.440><c> blown</c><00:13:52.940><c> to</c><00:13:54.299><c> draw</c><00:13:54.539><c> God's</c><00:13:55.000><c> attention</c><00:13:55.379><c> to</c>

00:13:55.580 --> 00:13:58.799
the<00:13:55.799><c> offering</c><00:13:55.980><c> of</c><00:13:56.360><c> sacrifices</c><00:13:56.980><c> under</c><00:13:57.740><c> the</c><00:13:57.980><c> law</c><00:13:58.220><c> in</c><00:13:58.440><c> Numbers</c>

00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:04.440
So<00:14:01.639><c> the</c><00:14:01.860><c> silver</c><00:14:02.179><c> trumpets</c><00:14:02.500><c> were</c><00:14:02.720><c> brought</c><00:14:02.879><c> out,</c><00:14:04.080><c> blown</c><00:14:04.220><c> to</c>

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.299
So<00:14:06.399><c> they</c><00:14:06.539><c> had</c><00:14:06.740><c> a</c><00:14:07.000><c> practice</c><00:14:07.340><c> in</c><00:14:07.519><c> their</c><00:14:07.799><c> past.</c>

00:14:08.779 --> 00:14:15.580
And<00:14:08.960><c> they</c><00:14:09.100><c> had</c><00:14:09.399><c> developed,</c><00:14:09.720><c> of</c><00:14:09.919><c> course,</c><00:14:10.240><c> their</c><00:14:10.419><c> own</c><00:14:10.779><c> methodology</c><00:14:11.480><c> for</c><00:14:13.139><c> advertising</c><00:14:13.899><c> their</c><00:14:14.259><c> own</c><00:14:14.559><c> righteousness.</c>

00:14:15.899 --> 00:14:20.980
In<00:14:16.039><c> fact,</c><00:14:16.240><c> this</c><00:14:16.399><c> is</c><00:14:16.700><c> a</c><00:14:16.820><c> vivid</c><00:14:17.340><c> metaphor</c><00:14:18.159><c> for</c><00:14:18.759><c> self</c><00:14:19.220><c>-advertisement.</c>

00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:27.700
It<00:14:21.120><c> was</c><00:14:21.379><c> based</c><00:14:21.740><c> on</c><00:14:22.080><c> contemporary</c><00:14:22.659><c> custom</c><00:14:23.419><c> at</c><00:14:24.279><c> the</c><00:14:24.440><c> time</c><00:14:24.620><c> of</c><00:14:24.899><c> Christ</c><00:14:25.139><c> during</c><00:14:25.700><c> public</c><00:14:26.360><c> fasts,</c><00:14:27.100><c> which</c><00:14:27.240><c> is</c><00:14:27.419><c> interesting.</c>

00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.559
He's<00:14:27.919><c> going</c><00:14:27.980><c> to</c><00:14:28.100><c> talk</c><00:14:28.240><c> about</c><00:14:28.500><c> fasting</c><00:14:28.799><c> in</c><00:14:28.980><c> a</c><00:14:29.080><c> moment.</c>

00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:35.299
At<00:14:30.519><c> the</c><00:14:30.720><c> end</c><00:14:30.960><c> of</c><00:14:31.259><c> six</c><00:14:31.659><c> benedictions,</c><00:14:33.440><c> concluding</c><00:14:34.059><c> prayers</c><00:14:34.519><c> for</c><00:14:34.799><c> rain</c><00:14:35.120><c> to</c>

00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:37.059

00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:42.399
The<00:14:37.480><c> shofar</c><00:14:37.899><c> was</c><00:14:38.179><c> blown</c><00:14:38.860><c> in</c><00:14:39.480><c> public</c><00:14:39.860><c> places</c><00:14:40.580><c> and</c><00:14:41.320><c> then</c><00:14:41.620><c> almsgiving</c><00:14:42.159><c> was</c>

00:14:45.740 --> 00:14:47.039
So<00:14:45.940><c> they</c><00:14:46.059><c> knew</c><00:14:46.240><c> all</c><00:14:46.480><c> about</c><00:14:46.700><c> this.</c>

00:14:47.220 --> 00:14:50.840
The<00:14:47.320><c> Lord's</c><00:14:47.659><c> probably</c><00:14:48.039><c> basing</c><00:14:48.460><c> his</c><00:14:49.080><c> words</c><00:14:49.500><c> on</c><00:14:49.940><c> that</c><00:14:50.320><c> practice</c>

00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:52.340

00:14:52.620 --> 00:14:57.740
They<00:14:52.919><c> blow</c><00:14:53.220><c> the</c><00:14:53.539><c> shofar</c><00:14:54.080><c> and</c><00:14:54.879><c> then</c><00:14:55.379><c> almsgiving</c><00:14:56.340><c> was</c><00:14:57.279><c> to</c><00:14:57.440><c> be</c>

00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:58.580
expected<00:14:58.059><c> from</c><00:14:58.279><c> the</c><00:14:58.460><c> people.</c>

00:14:58.580 --> 00:15:00.960
And<00:14:58.580><c> they</c><00:14:58.679><c> would</c><00:14:58.879><c> come</c><00:14:59.080><c> up</c><00:14:59.279><c> to</c><00:14:59.419><c> the</c><00:14:59.580><c> temple</c><00:14:59.919><c> and</c><00:15:00.480><c> they</c><00:15:00.620><c> would</c>

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:04.620
use<00:15:02.320><c> the</c><00:15:03.320><c> shofar</c><00:15:03.679><c> off.</c>

00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:09.980
Now,<00:15:05.759><c> there</c><00:15:05.899><c> were</c><00:15:06.080><c> 13</c><00:15:07.019><c> shofar</c><00:15:07.779><c> off</c><00:15:08.200><c> in</c><00:15:08.840><c> the</c><00:15:09.080><c> temple.</c>

00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.679
These<00:15:11.879><c> trumpet</c><00:15:12.360><c> shaped</c><00:15:13.159><c> openings</c><00:15:13.840><c> were</c><00:15:14.700><c> made</c><00:15:14.919><c> of</c><00:15:15.139><c> some</c><00:15:15.440><c> kind</c>

of<00:15:15.919><c> metal.</c>

00:15:17.899 --> 00:15:21.379
So<00:15:18.059><c> they</c><00:15:18.220><c> made</c><00:15:18.460><c> them</c><00:15:18.639><c> with</c><00:15:18.799><c> a</c><00:15:19.019><c> trumpet</c><00:15:19.320><c> top</c><00:15:19.980><c> so</c><00:15:20.779><c> that</c><00:15:20.899><c> when</c><00:15:21.039><c> you</c>

00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:22.500

00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:26.320
the<00:15:22.919><c> money</c><00:15:23.100><c> would</c><00:15:23.360><c> fall</c><00:15:23.559><c> down</c><00:15:23.759><c> into</c><00:15:23.960><c> the</c><00:15:24.120><c> narrow</c><00:15:24.779><c> box</c><00:15:25.419><c> beneath.</c>

00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:34.879
And<00:15:27.639><c> they</c><00:15:27.799><c> were</c><00:15:28.019><c> designed</c><00:15:28.779><c> to</c><00:15:29.139><c> make</c><00:15:29.279><c> as</c><00:15:29.600><c> much</c><00:15:30.139><c> noise</c><00:15:30.860><c> as</c><00:15:31.299><c> possible,</c><00:15:32.559><c> to</c><00:15:32.740><c> draw</c><00:15:33.019><c> maximum</c><00:15:33.740><c> attention</c><00:15:34.600><c> to</c>

the<00:15:35.179><c> offerer.</c>

00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:38.980
So<00:15:36.720><c> when</c><00:15:36.840><c> you</c><00:15:37.039><c> came</c><00:15:37.240><c> along,</c><00:15:37.679><c> you</c><00:15:37.679><c> had</c><00:15:37.799><c> 13</c><00:15:38.179><c> to</c><00:15:38.419><c> choose</c><00:15:38.620><c> from.</c>

00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.000
You<00:15:39.460><c> might,</c><00:15:39.759><c> if</c><00:15:39.799><c> you</c><00:15:39.940><c> were</c><00:15:40.019><c> really</c><00:15:40.419><c> wanting</c><00:15:40.580><c> to</c><00:15:40.720><c> put</c><00:15:40.799><c> on</c><00:15:40.919><c> a</c><00:15:41.059><c> public</c><00:15:41.279><c> display,</c><00:15:41.740><c> you'd</c><00:15:41.840><c> have</c><00:15:41.879><c> 13</c><00:15:42.259><c> handfuls.</c>

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.960
And<00:15:43.480><c> you'd</c><00:15:43.659><c> come</c><00:15:43.799><c> along</c><00:15:44.000><c> and</c><00:15:44.139><c> you</c><00:15:44.240><c> go,</c><00:15:45.080><c> crash,</c><00:15:46.600><c> and</c><00:15:46.740><c> clang,</c>

00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:48.480

00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:55.799
People<00:15:50.960><c> would</c><00:15:51.120><c> look</c><00:15:51.279><c> around</c><00:15:51.580><c> and</c><00:15:51.759><c> say,</c><00:15:52.740><c> wow,</c><00:15:54.080><c> he</c><00:15:54.419><c> is</c><00:15:54.740><c> generous.</c>

00:15:58.779 --> 00:16:03.399
And<00:15:59.379><c> the</c><00:15:59.600><c> poor</c><00:15:59.779><c> widow</c><00:16:00.039><c> came</c><00:16:00.379><c> along</c><00:16:00.700><c> and</c><00:16:00.899><c> put</c><00:16:01.059><c> in</c><00:16:02.259><c> two</c><00:16:02.600><c> mites.</c>

00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.620
And<00:16:08.360><c> she</c><00:16:08.559><c> gave</c><00:16:08.740><c> more</c><00:16:09.539><c> than</c><00:16:10.480><c> they</c><00:16:10.759><c> all.</c>

00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.899
So<00:16:13.720><c> it</c><00:16:13.740><c> was</c><00:16:14.019><c> about</c><00:16:14.320><c> public</c><00:16:14.759><c> display.</c>

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:23.019
You<00:16:17.320><c> used</c><00:16:17.480><c> to</c><00:16:17.700><c> imagine</c><00:16:18.200><c> how</c><00:16:18.600><c> that</c><00:16:19.379><c> was</c><00:16:20.340><c> abused</c><00:16:20.980><c> by</c><00:16:22.559><c> those</c><00:16:22.799><c> who</c>

00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:31.679
So<00:16:26.200><c> he</c><00:16:26.299><c> goes</c><00:16:26.519><c> on</c><00:16:26.700><c> to</c><00:16:26.940><c> say,</c><00:16:27.539><c> verse</c><00:16:27.679><c> 3,</c><00:16:30.000><c> having</c><00:16:30.240><c> told</c><00:16:30.580><c> them,</c><00:16:31.279><c> verily</c><00:16:31.440><c> I</c>

00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.299

It<00:18:23.039><c> is</c><00:18:23.319><c> you.</c>

00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:27.680
And<00:18:25.400><c> if</c><00:18:25.500><c> you</c><00:18:25.759><c> have</c><00:18:25.980><c> the</c><00:18:26.259><c> Father's</c><00:18:26.740><c> character,</c><00:18:27.039><c> as</c><00:18:27.220><c> the</c><00:18:27.460><c> Son</c>

00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:38.720
But<00:18:34.240><c> this</c><00:18:34.960><c> is</c><00:18:35.539><c> a</c><00:18:35.579><c> deliberate</c><00:18:36.240><c> attempt</c><00:18:36.940><c> to</c><00:18:37.339><c> publicize</c><00:18:38.359><c> your</c>

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:45.440
It's<00:18:44.119><c> a</c><00:18:44.339><c> play</c><00:18:44.559><c> acting.</c>

00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:47.720
It's<00:18:46.400><c> hypocritical.</c>

00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.079
And<00:18:48.579><c> that</c><00:18:48.720><c> was</c><00:18:48.940><c> certainly</c><00:18:49.299><c> true</c><00:18:49.579><c> in</c><00:18:49.759><c> the</c><00:18:49.880><c> case</c><00:18:50.039><c> of</c><00:18:50.259><c> the</c><00:18:50.400><c> Pharisees</c><00:18:51.240><c> because</c><00:18:51.680><c> many</c>

But<00:18:56.140><c> they</c><00:18:56.339><c> put</c><00:18:56.480><c> on</c><00:18:56.640><c> a</c><00:18:56.859><c> public</c><00:18:57.079><c> face</c><00:18:57.779><c> that</c><00:18:58.380><c> was</c><00:18:58.619><c> otherwise.</c>

00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.019
So<00:19:00.279><c> that's</c><00:19:00.480><c> how</c><00:19:00.640><c> that</c><00:19:00.759><c> can</c><00:19:00.920><c> be</c><00:19:01.160><c> reconciled.</c>

So<00:19:42.440><c> here</c><00:19:42.599><c> were</c><00:19:42.839><c> men</c><00:19:43.180><c> giving</c><00:19:43.799><c> to</c><00:19:44.039><c> God</c><00:19:44.480><c> of</c><00:19:45.220><c> their</c><00:19:45.480><c> own</c><00:19:45.980><c> power.</c>

00:19:46.299 --> 00:19:50.299
That<00:19:46.480><c> is,</c><00:19:47.500><c> what</c><00:19:47.759><c> God</c><00:19:48.059><c> had</c><00:19:48.359><c> given</c><00:19:48.559><c> to</c><00:19:48.900><c> them,</c><00:19:49.220><c> they</c><00:19:49.559><c> gave</c><00:19:49.940><c> back</c>

00:19:50.299 --> 00:19:51.400
to<00:19:50.539><c> him.</c>

00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:53.299
That's<00:19:52.359><c> how</c><00:19:52.599><c> it</c><00:19:52.599><c> should</c><00:19:52.799><c> have</c><00:19:52.960><c> been.</c>

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:56.500
So<00:19:53.819><c> the</c><00:19:53.900><c> Lord</c><00:19:54.059><c> says,</c><00:19:54.420><c> yes,</c><00:19:54.799><c> give</c><00:19:55.099><c> to</c><00:19:55.279><c> God</c><00:19:55.559><c> by</c><00:19:55.859><c> all</c><00:19:56.099><c> means.</c>

00:19:56.859 --> 00:20:02.619
But<00:19:57.119><c> don't</c><00:19:57.720><c> let</c><00:19:58.019><c> your</c><00:19:58.559><c> left</c><00:19:59.019><c> hand</c><00:19:59.519><c> know</c><00:20:00.259><c> what</c><00:20:01.019><c> your</c><00:20:01.319><c> right</c><00:20:01.680><c> hand</c><00:20:02.079><c> is</c><00:20:02.380><c> doing.</c>

00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.180
Left<00:20:03.480><c> hand,</c><00:20:04.099><c> what</c><00:20:04.240><c> does</c><00:20:04.380><c> that</c><00:20:04.680><c> represent</c><00:20:05.200><c> biblically,</c><00:20:05.920><c> brethren</c><00:20:06.079><c> and</c><00:20:06.359><c> sisters?</c>

00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:12.099
The<00:20:08.059><c> left</c><00:20:08.420><c> hand</c><00:20:08.740><c> is</c><00:20:09.019><c> the</c><00:20:09.259><c> symbol</c><00:20:09.720><c> for</c><00:20:10.420><c> mortal</c><00:20:11.039><c> weakness.</c>

00:20:13.220 --> 00:20:17.819
That's<00:20:13.500><c> why</c><00:20:14.279><c> Ehud</c><00:20:14.819><c> was</c><00:20:15.660><c> a</c><00:20:15.859><c> left</c><00:20:16.160><c>-handed</c><00:20:16.460><c> man.</c>

00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.220
Because<00:20:18.920><c> you</c><00:20:19.119><c> see,</c><00:20:19.240><c> he</c><00:20:19.380><c> had</c><00:20:19.680><c> no</c><00:20:20.140><c> confidence</c><00:20:20.700><c> in</c><00:20:20.960><c> himself.</c>

00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:25.700
Left<00:20:23.400><c> hand,</c><00:20:24.400><c> mortal</c><00:20:24.740><c> weakness.</c>

00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:33.720
That's<00:20:26.740><c> why</c><00:20:28.359><c> Gideon's</c><00:20:29.259><c> 300</c><00:20:29.680><c> men</c><00:20:30.380><c> had</c><00:20:31.160><c> the</c><00:20:31.460><c> picture,</c><00:20:32.700><c> the</c><00:20:32.880><c> earthenware</c><00:20:33.380><c> jar,</c>

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.700
which<00:20:34.039><c> spoke</c><00:20:34.339><c> of</c><00:20:34.500><c> the</c><00:20:34.680><c> mortal</c><00:20:34.980><c> body</c><00:20:35.599><c> with</c><00:20:36.359><c> a</c><00:20:36.599><c> divine</c><00:20:36.920><c> light</c><00:20:37.380><c> in</c>

the<00:20:37.920><c> hand</c>

00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:42.940

00:20:42.940 --> 00:20:47.220
It<00:20:43.440><c> symbolised</c><00:20:44.779><c> mortal</c><00:20:45.539><c> weakness.</c>

00:20:47.940 --> 00:20:50.759
As<00:20:47.940><c> Paul</c><00:20:48.240><c> said</c><00:20:48.799><c> in</c><00:20:48.960><c> 2</c><00:20:49.220><c> Corinthians</c><00:20:49.619><c> 4</c><00:20:50.019><c> verse</c><00:20:50.279><c> 7,</c>

00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:54.180
we<00:20:51.019><c> have</c><00:20:51.259><c> this</c><00:20:51.680><c> treasure</c><00:20:52.119><c> in</c><00:20:52.960><c> earthen</c><00:20:53.559><c> vessels</c>

00:20:54.180 --> 00:21:00.700
that<00:20:54.779><c> the</c><00:20:55.099><c> excellency</c><00:20:55.579><c> of</c><00:20:55.759><c> the</c><00:20:56.099><c> power</c><00:20:56.539><c> may</c><00:20:56.940><c> be</c><00:20:57.140><c> of</c><00:20:57.519><c> God</c><00:20:58.200><c> and</c><00:20:58.700><c> not</c><00:20:59.240><c> of</c><00:20:59.680><c> us.</c>

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:02.880
That's<00:21:01.259><c> the</c><00:21:01.420><c> principle</c><00:21:01.819><c> of</c><00:21:02.079><c> that.</c>

00:21:03.819 --> 00:21:05.380
So<00:21:04.059><c> left</c><00:21:04.319><c> hand</c><00:21:04.480><c> is</c><00:21:04.680><c> mortal</c><00:21:04.960><c> weakness.</c>

Right<00:21:06.000><c> hand,</c><00:21:07.000><c> authority</c><00:21:07.519><c> and</c><00:21:07.859><c> power.</c>

00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:15.940
Don't<00:21:10.119><c> let</c><00:21:10.420><c> your</c><00:21:10.920><c> left</c><00:21:11.519><c> hand</c><00:21:12.380><c> know</c><00:21:13.000><c> what</c><00:21:13.319><c> your</c><00:21:13.619><c> right</c><00:21:14.240><c> hand</c><00:21:14.740><c> is</c><00:21:14.980><c> doing.</c>

00:21:16.819 --> 00:21:18.420

young<00:21:18.640><c> people.</c>

00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:26.059
The<00:21:20.720><c> last</c><00:21:21.440><c> bastion</c><00:21:22.319><c> of</c><00:21:23.000><c> mortal</c><00:21:23.339><c> weakness</c><00:21:23.880><c> in</c><00:21:24.900><c> your</c><00:21:25.220><c> life</c><00:21:25.720><c> and</c>

my<00:21:26.400><c> life</c><00:21:26.960><c> is</c><00:21:27.619><c> human</c><00:21:28.180><c> pride.</c>

00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:34.920
As<00:21:32.299><c> time</c><00:21:32.599><c> goes</c><00:21:32.940><c> on,</c><00:21:33.299><c> young</c><00:21:33.559><c> people</c><00:21:33.859><c> might</c><00:21:34.039><c> doubt</c><00:21:34.339><c> this,</c>

it's<00:21:55.400><c> nothing.</c>

00:21:56.339 --> 00:21:59.440
You<00:21:56.539><c> can</c><00:21:56.799><c> begin</c><00:21:57.160><c> to</c><00:21:57.400><c> deal</c><00:21:57.599><c> with</c><00:21:57.859><c> that</c><00:21:58.400><c> problem.</c>

00:22:42.059 --> 00:22:48.799

a<00:28:39.000><c> man</c><00:28:39.240><c> on</c><00:28:39.519><c> the</c><00:28:39.700><c> way.</c>

00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:42.640
They<00:28:41.059><c> weren't</c><00:28:41.400><c> late.</c>

00:28:43.380 --> 00:28:48.680
But<00:28:43.960><c> the</c><00:28:44.180><c> Pharisee</c><00:28:45.420><c> would</c><00:28:45.559><c> be</c><00:28:45.799><c> looking</c><00:28:45.960><c> at</c><00:28:46.119><c> his</c><00:28:46.339><c> sundial.</c>

00:28:49.019 --> 00:28:50.819
And<00:28:49.099><c> he'd</c><00:28:49.220><c> be</c><00:28:49.359><c> watching</c><00:28:49.660><c> it.</c>

00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:54.980
It<00:28:52.380><c> takes</c><00:28:52.740><c> me</c><00:28:53.000><c> 10</c><00:28:53.180><c> minutes</c><00:28:53.579><c> to</c><00:28:53.740><c> get</c><00:28:53.880><c> to</c><00:28:54.019><c> the</c><00:28:54.180><c> temple.</c>

00:28:55.500 --> 00:28:58.220
I'll<00:28:55.859><c> wait</c><00:28:56.180><c> till</c><00:28:56.480><c> 5</c><00:28:56.920><c> to</c><00:28:57.059><c> 3.</c>

00:29:00.140 --> 00:29:02.160
Comes<00:29:00.539><c> 5</c><00:29:00.960><c> minutes</c><00:29:01.220><c> to</c><00:29:01.400><c> 3.</c>

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:03.819
And<00:29:02.640><c> out</c><00:29:02.740><c> he</c><00:29:02.920><c> goes.</c>

00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:05.799
And<00:29:04.480><c> he's</c><00:29:04.759><c> halfway</c><00:29:05.160><c> there.</c>

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:09.559
And<00:29:06.099><c> he's</c><00:29:06.339><c> right</c><00:29:06.900><c> on</c><00:29:07.480><c> the</c><00:29:07.740><c> intersection</c><00:29:08.319><c> of</c><00:29:08.599><c> a</c><00:29:08.779><c> major</c><00:29:09.099><c> corner</c>

in<00:29:09.839><c> Jerusalem,</c><00:29:10.900><c> just</c><00:29:11.220><c> short</c><00:29:11.440><c> of</c><00:29:11.579><c> the</c><00:29:11.700><c> temple.</c>

00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.799
Oh,<00:29:12.420><c> this</c><00:29:12.599><c> is</c><00:29:13.000><c> purely</c><00:29:13.259><c> by</c><00:29:13.640><c> accident,</c><00:29:14.279><c> of</c><00:29:14.599><c> course.</c>

00:29:16.299 --> 00:29:19.380
That<00:29:16.460><c> he</c><00:29:16.599><c> happens</c><00:29:16.920><c> to</c><00:29:17.180><c> be</c><00:29:17.480><c> here</c><00:29:17.880><c> at</c><00:29:18.240><c> this</c><00:29:18.519><c> major</c><00:29:18.920><c> intersection</c>

00:29:19.380 --> 00:29:21.740
where<00:29:19.579><c> there</c><00:29:19.680><c> are</c><00:29:19.859><c> people</c><00:29:20.200><c> going</c><00:29:20.539><c> every</c><00:29:20.960><c> which</c><00:29:21.180><c> way.</c>

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:24.319
And<00:29:22.420><c> the</c><00:29:22.660><c> hour</c><00:29:22.799><c> of</c><00:29:23.000><c> prayer</c><00:29:23.200><c> strikes.</c>

00:29:24.619 --> 00:29:25.839
Oh,<00:29:24.680><c> I've</c><00:29:24.859><c> got</c><00:29:25.039><c> to</c><00:29:25.160><c> stand.</c>

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:27.740
And<00:29:26.400><c> he</c><00:29:26.519><c> would</c><00:29:26.740><c> pray.</c>

00:29:30.059 --> 00:29:32.839
That's<00:29:30.579><c> what</c><00:29:30.720><c> they</c><00:29:30.960><c> used</c><00:29:31.180><c> to</c><00:29:31.319><c> do,</c><00:29:31.640><c> brothers</c><00:29:31.720><c> and</c><00:29:31.819><c> sisters.</c>

00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:36.660
All<00:29:34.200><c> the</c><00:29:34.480><c> public</c><00:29:34.819><c> spectacle.</c>

00:29:37.140 --> 00:29:38.559
The<00:29:37.160><c> scene</c><00:29:37.339><c> of</c><00:29:37.559><c> men.</c>

00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:41.579
They<00:29:40.079><c> have</c><00:29:40.380><c> their</c><00:29:40.660><c> reward.</c>

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:45.599
You<00:29:42.279><c> know,</c><00:29:42.500><c> the</c><00:29:42.720><c> Diaglot</c><00:29:43.259><c> translates</c><00:29:44.200><c> that</c><00:29:44.559><c> phrase</c><00:29:44.819><c> this</c><00:29:45.200><c> way.</c>

00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:50.660
They<00:29:46.140><c> have</c><00:29:46.559><c> in</c><00:29:47.140><c> full</c><00:29:47.519><c> the</c><00:29:48.339><c> reward</c><00:29:49.000><c> of</c><00:29:49.759><c> them.</c>

00:29:51.220 --> 00:29:53.920
That's<00:29:51.500><c> an</c><00:29:51.660><c> interesting</c><00:29:52.000><c> way</c><00:29:52.319><c> of</c><00:29:52.400><c> putting</c><00:29:52.640><c> it,</c><00:29:52.839><c> isn't</c><00:29:53.000><c> it?</c>

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:57.460
They<00:29:54.299><c> have</c><00:29:54.599><c> in</c><00:29:54.880><c> full</c><00:29:55.119><c> the</c><00:29:55.339><c> reward</c><00:29:55.779><c> of</c><00:29:56.380><c> them.</c>

00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:59.700
That<00:29:57.940><c> is,</c><00:29:58.220><c> reward</c><00:29:58.519><c> from</c><00:29:58.799><c> self.</c>

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:01.279
From<00:30:00.079><c> themselves.</c>

00:30:01.819 --> 00:30:04.420
In<00:30:02.339><c> their</c><00:30:02.680><c> sense</c><00:30:02.940><c> of</c><00:30:03.279><c> pride.</c>

00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:06.519
That's<00:30:05.200><c> their</c><00:30:05.339><c> reward.</c>

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:08.559
It<00:30:07.140><c> wasn't</c><00:30:07.380><c> from</c><00:30:07.619><c> God.</c>

00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:11.279
It<00:30:09.740><c> was</c><00:30:09.920><c> paid</c><00:30:10.180><c> for</c><00:30:10.420><c> service.</c>

00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:13.119
Service<00:30:11.859><c> to</c><00:30:12.039><c> themselves.</c>

00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.200
So<00:30:15.279><c> the</c><00:30:15.500><c> clue</c><00:30:15.680><c> here,</c><00:30:16.799><c> and</c><00:30:16.980><c> another</c><00:30:17.240><c> summary.</c>

00:30:18.700 --> 00:30:22.180
Because<00:30:18.779><c> that's</c><00:30:19.059><c> basically</c><00:30:19.539><c> what</c><00:30:20.559><c> the</c><00:30:20.759><c> Lord</c><00:30:20.859><c> wants</c><00:30:21.039><c> to</c><00:30:21.259><c> tell</c><00:30:21.400><c> us.</c>

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:25.119
He's<00:30:22.759><c> saying</c><00:30:23.160><c> there</c><00:30:23.759><c> are</c><00:30:23.920><c> two</c><00:30:24.140><c> ways.</c>

00:30:25.940 --> 00:30:29.240
That<00:30:26.339><c> way,</c><00:30:26.900><c> the</c><00:30:27.079><c> Pharisee's</c><00:30:27.720><c> way,</c><00:30:27.900><c> or</c><00:30:28.079><c> this</c><00:30:28.319><c> way,</c><00:30:28.579><c> verse</c><00:30:28.799><c> 6.</c>

00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:33.819
But<00:30:29.660><c> thou,</c><00:30:30.299><c> when</c><00:30:30.440><c> thou</c><00:30:30.720><c> prayest,</c><00:30:31.880><c> enter</c><00:30:32.180><c> into</c><00:30:32.480><c> thy</c><00:30:32.740><c> closet.</c>

00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:37.819
And<00:30:34.440><c> when</c><00:30:34.640><c> thou</c><00:30:34.859><c> hast</c><00:30:35.319><c> shut</c><00:30:35.839><c> the</c><00:30:36.200><c> door,</c>

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:41.299
pray<00:30:38.480><c> to</c><00:30:38.680><c> thy</c><00:30:38.859><c> father</c><00:30:39.180><c> which</c><00:30:39.400><c> is</c><00:30:39.640><c> in</c><00:30:40.160><c> secret.</c>

00:30:41.940 --> 00:30:44.200
That<00:30:42.039><c> thy</c><00:30:42.299><c> father</c><00:30:42.599><c> which</c><00:30:42.920><c> seeth</c><00:30:43.140><c> in</c><00:30:43.519><c> secret</c>

00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:46.579

00:30:47.339 --> 00:30:51.099
So<00:30:47.980><c> he's</c><00:30:48.119><c> saying,</c><00:30:49.380><c> you</c><00:30:49.480><c> have</c><00:30:49.619><c> a</c><00:30:49.619><c> relationship</c><00:30:50.119><c> with</c><00:30:50.339><c> God?</c>

00:30:51.420 --> 00:30:53.480
Cultivate<00:30:51.920><c> it.</c>

00:30:53.619 --> 00:30:55.740
Not<00:30:54.000><c> for</c><00:30:54.240><c> public</c><00:30:54.619><c> consumption.</c>

00:30:56.259 --> 00:31:01.539
But<00:30:56.940><c> to</c><00:30:57.240><c> tell</c><00:30:57.500><c> him</c><00:30:58.660><c> that</c><00:30:59.039><c> you</c><00:30:59.420><c> see</c><00:31:00.140><c> the</c><00:31:00.519><c> invisible.</c>

He<00:31:12.279><c> is</c><00:31:12.799><c> the</c><00:31:13.039><c> King,</c><00:31:13.400><c> eternal,</c><00:31:14.200><c> incorruptible,</c><00:31:15.140><c> invisible,</c>

00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:24.660
Withdrawing<00:31:23.680><c> from</c><00:31:23.940><c> distraction,</c>

00:31:24.660 --> 00:31:28.500
they<00:31:25.079><c> will</c><00:31:25.400><c> come</c><00:31:25.700><c> from</c><00:31:26.039><c> time</c><00:31:26.400><c> to</c><00:31:26.660><c> time</c><00:31:26.960><c> into</c><00:31:27.279><c> a</c><00:31:27.619><c> realm</c>

00:31:35.140 --> 00:31:37.240

00:31:51.579 --> 00:31:54.660
Be<00:31:52.440><c> ye</c><00:31:52.720><c> therefore</c><00:31:53.220><c> not</c><00:31:53.740><c> like</c><00:31:53.940><c> unto</c><00:31:54.160><c> them,</c>

00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:07.880
about<00:32:06.079><c> the</c><00:32:06.259><c> Lord's</c><00:32:06.640><c> prayer</c><00:32:06.799><c> itself.</c>

00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:11.380
Let's<00:32:08.799><c> just</c><00:32:09.099><c> bring</c><00:32:09.240><c> this</c><00:32:09.460><c> down</c><00:32:09.759><c> to</c><00:32:10.640><c> our</c><00:32:11.000><c> times.</c>

00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:12.740

I<00:32:12.960><c> mean,</c><00:32:13.200><c> what</c><00:32:13.380><c> it</c><00:32:13.599><c> meant</c><00:32:13.819><c> in</c><00:32:14.019><c> the</c><00:32:14.180><c> days</c><00:32:14.319><c> of</c><00:32:14.579><c> Christ</c>

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:15.680
is<00:32:15.000><c> pretty</c><00:32:15.259><c> obvious.</c>

00:32:15.900 --> 00:32:17.920
This<00:32:16.259><c> term</c><00:32:16.599><c> here,</c><00:32:17.000><c> vain</c><00:32:17.160><c> repetitions,</c>

Bata,<00:32:24.500><c> babbling.</c>

00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:27.559
So<00:32:26.180><c> this</c><00:32:26.359><c> is,</c><00:32:26.779><c> the</c><00:32:26.839><c> word</c><00:32:27.059><c> means,</c>

00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.140

00:32:30.539 --> 00:32:32.579
And<00:32:30.619><c> of</c><00:32:30.839><c> course,</c><00:32:31.279><c> there</c><00:32:31.339><c> are</c><00:32:31.640><c> suggestions</c><00:32:32.180><c> that</c>

00:32:32.579 --> 00:32:35.579
Batos<00:32:32.980><c> was</c><00:32:33.299><c> the</c><00:32:33.440><c> nickname</c><00:32:33.839><c> given</c><00:32:34.180><c> to</c><00:32:35.140><c> a</c><00:32:35.579><c> Greek,</c>

00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:38.200
a<00:32:35.900><c> silly</c><00:32:36.160><c> Greek,</c><00:32:36.960><c> loquacious</c><00:32:37.720><c> poet</c>

00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:40.500

00:32:42.140 --> 00:32:44.339
Why<00:32:42.279><c> anybody</c><00:32:42.539><c> would</c><00:32:42.740><c> read</c><00:32:42.839><c> it,</c><00:32:42.980><c> I</c><00:32:43.079><c> don't</c><00:32:43.400><c> know.</c>

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:46.460
Well,<00:32:45.119><c> that</c><00:32:45.279><c> could</c><00:32:45.420><c> be</c><00:32:45.599><c> right.</c>

00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:49.099
Batalos<00:32:47.519><c> was</c><00:32:47.839><c> also</c><00:32:48.240><c> the</c><00:32:48.440><c> nickname</c><00:32:48.819><c> given</c>

00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:54.319
He<00:32:51.319><c> was</c><00:32:51.539><c> the</c><00:32:51.660><c> great</c><00:32:53.180><c> Athenian</c><00:32:54.039><c> orator</c>

00:32:54.619 --> 00:32:57.740

Alexander's<00:33:01.039><c> father,</c><00:33:01.460><c> and</c><00:33:01.680><c> to</c><00:33:01.880><c> Alexander</c>

00:33:02.380 --> 00:33:04.599
until,<00:33:02.740><c> of</c><00:33:02.960><c> course,</c><00:33:03.380><c> he</c><00:33:03.380><c> ended</c><00:33:03.619><c> up</c>

and<00:33:04.819><c> to</c><00:33:04.940><c> commit</c><00:33:05.099><c> suicide.</c>

00:33:07.099 --> 00:33:09.660
But<00:33:07.299><c> he</c><00:33:07.440><c> was</c><00:33:07.880><c> given</c><00:33:08.279><c> to</c><00:33:08.700><c> speech.</c>

00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:11.539
And<00:33:10.039><c> so</c><00:33:10.259><c> because</c><00:33:10.680><c> his</c><00:33:10.960><c> enemies,</c>

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.599
He<00:33:22.440><c> was</c><00:33:22.460><c> also</c><00:33:22.799><c> apparently</c><00:33:23.660><c> a</c><00:33:24.039><c> king</c>

00:33:26.940 --> 00:33:28.759
because<00:33:27.519><c> he</c><00:33:27.619><c> used</c><00:33:27.900><c> to</c><00:33:28.240><c> stutter</c>

00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.779

And<00:34:11.820><c> we've</c><00:34:12.000><c> got</c><00:34:12.099><c> Acts</c><00:34:12.320><c> chapter</c><00:34:12.599><c> 19</c>

00:34:13.340 --> 00:34:16.219
when<00:34:13.880><c> Paul</c><00:34:14.260><c> wants</c><00:34:14.519><c> to</c><00:34:14.739><c> go</c><00:34:14.960><c> in</c>

00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:24.400
when<00:34:21.440><c> there's</c><00:34:22.159><c> a</c><00:34:22.500><c> riot</c><00:34:22.780><c> going</c><00:34:23.139><c> on</c><00:34:23.460><c> in</c><00:34:23.780><c> Ephesus.</c>

00:34:24.780 --> 00:34:26.920
And<00:34:24.840><c> by</c><00:34:25.099><c> the</c><00:34:25.519><c> space</c><00:34:25.820><c> of</c><00:34:26.139><c> two</c><00:34:26.480><c> hours,</c>

00:34:27.059 --> 00:34:27.860
they<00:34:27.280><c> cried</c><00:34:27.500><c> out,</c>

00:34:27.860 --> 00:34:29.360
Great<00:34:28.400><c> is</c><00:34:28.840><c> Diana,</c>

00:34:29.780 --> 00:34:31.820
the<00:34:30.039><c> god</c><00:34:30.159><c> of</c><00:34:30.380><c> the</c><00:34:30.599><c> Ephesians!</c>

00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:35.760
I<00:34:33.360><c> think</c><00:34:33.500><c> five</c><00:34:33.739><c> minutes</c><00:34:33.960><c> would</c><00:34:34.099><c> have</c><00:34:34.199><c> been</c><00:34:34.300><c> enough</c><00:34:34.480><c> for</c><00:34:34.679><c> me.</c>

00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:39.599
But<00:34:37.380><c> you</c><00:34:37.460><c> see,</c><00:34:37.539><c> that's</c><00:34:37.800><c> what</c><00:34:38.019><c> the</c><00:34:38.219><c> heathens</c><00:34:38.539><c> do.</c>

00:34:40.860 --> 00:34:42.139
And<00:34:41.340><c> so</c><00:34:41.519><c> the</c><00:34:41.659><c> Lord</c><00:34:41.800><c> is</c><00:34:41.960><c> saying,</c>

00:34:42.139 --> 00:34:43.320
Don't<00:34:42.460><c> you</c><00:34:42.639><c> be</c><00:34:42.900><c> like</c><00:34:43.159><c> them.</c>

00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:45.599
Now<00:34:43.639><c> what</c><00:34:43.719><c> does</c><00:34:43.880><c> that</c><00:34:44.159><c> mean</c><00:34:44.420><c> to</c><00:34:44.780><c> you</c><00:34:45.000><c> and</c><00:34:45.179><c> me</c><00:34:45.320><c> today?</c>

00:34:45.659 --> 00:34:47.099
Let's<00:34:45.920><c> be</c><00:34:46.119><c> practical</c><00:34:46.519><c> about</c><00:34:46.840><c> this.</c>

00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:48.579
What<00:34:47.280><c> does</c><00:34:47.460><c> it</c><00:34:47.639><c> mean?</c>

00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:52.320
Well,<00:34:50.019><c> I</c><00:34:50.199><c> grew</c><00:34:50.380><c> up</c><00:34:50.659><c> as</c><00:34:51.280><c> a</c><00:34:51.360><c> young</c><00:34:51.619><c> Christadelphian</c>

00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:56.260
and<00:34:52.519><c> I</c><00:34:52.739><c> had</c><00:34:53.380><c> opportunity</c><00:34:54.039><c> for</c><00:34:54.460><c> the</c><00:34:54.500><c> last</c><00:34:54.739><c> 50</c><00:34:55.059><c> years</c>

00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:58.800
to<00:34:57.320><c> listen</c><00:34:57.519><c> to</c><00:34:57.639><c> a</c><00:34:57.699><c> lot</c><00:34:57.800><c> of</c><00:34:58.059><c> prayers,</c>

00:34:58.840 --> 00:34:59.940
public<00:34:59.079><c> prayers.</c>

00:35:03.860 --> 00:35:06.059
Some<00:35:04.340><c> of</c><00:35:04.460><c> them</c>

00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:09.340
were<00:35:08.199><c> repetitious</c>

00:35:09.780 --> 00:35:14.219
and<00:35:10.420><c> hackneyed</c><00:35:10.840><c> phrases</c><00:35:11.239><c> were</c><00:35:11.500><c> used</c><00:35:11.699><c> over</c><00:35:12.059><c> and</c><00:35:12.119><c> over</c><00:35:12.440><c> again.</c>

00:35:16.420 --> 00:35:17.519
Young<00:35:16.599><c> brethren,</c>

00:35:19.619 --> 00:35:22.000
you're<00:35:19.679><c> now</c><00:35:19.940><c> being</c><00:35:20.239><c> asked</c><00:35:20.539><c> to</c><00:35:20.760><c> offer</c><00:35:20.900><c> prayers.</c>

00:35:22.619 --> 00:35:24.360
Avoid<00:35:22.960><c> that.</c>

00:35:25.300 --> 00:35:29.079
If<00:35:25.440><c> you</c><00:35:25.579><c> want</c><00:35:25.900><c> to</c><00:35:26.300><c> know</c><00:35:27.239><c> what</c><00:35:27.719><c> you</c><00:35:27.940><c> should</c><00:35:28.119><c> pray,</c>

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:30.940
then<00:35:30.119><c> read</c><00:35:30.440><c> the</c><00:35:30.659><c> scriptures,</c>

00:35:31.059 --> 00:35:32.800
particularly<00:35:31.619><c> the</c><00:35:31.900><c> Psalms.</c>

00:35:33.019 --> 00:35:34.659
Many<00:35:33.260><c> of</c><00:35:33.380><c> them</c><00:35:33.480><c> are</c><00:35:33.719><c> prayers.</c>

00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.079
And<00:35:35.519><c> use</c><00:35:35.840><c> that</c><00:35:36.059><c> language.</c>

00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:38.179
Don't<00:35:37.440><c> repeat</c><00:35:37.840><c> it.</c>

00:35:38.219 --> 00:35:39.699
Just<00:35:38.619><c> use</c><00:35:39.039><c> the</c><00:35:39.219><c> language</c>

00:35:39.699 --> 00:35:41.760
and<00:35:40.639><c> string</c><00:35:40.820><c> together</c><00:35:41.239><c> thoughts</c>

00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:44.760
that<00:35:42.239><c> will</c><00:35:42.420><c> give</c><00:35:42.579><c> glory</c><00:35:42.840><c> to</c><00:35:43.019><c> God</c><00:35:43.280><c> first,</c>

00:35:44.940 --> 00:35:46.880
then<00:35:45.079><c> reflect</c><00:35:45.460><c> on</c><00:35:45.679><c> our</c><00:35:45.920><c> needs,</c>

00:35:47.139 --> 00:35:48.760
and<00:35:47.179><c> then</c><00:35:47.440><c> finally</c><00:35:47.679><c> acknowledge</c><00:35:48.119><c> Him</c>

00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:51.239
as<00:35:49.559><c> the</c><00:35:49.739><c> Lord's</c><00:35:50.099><c> prayer</c><00:35:50.199><c> does.</c>

00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:54.980
Don't<00:35:53.119><c> be</c><00:35:53.460><c> like</c><00:35:53.699><c> the</c><00:35:53.900><c> heathen.</c>

00:35:55.460 --> 00:35:58.159
I've<00:35:55.739><c> had</c><00:35:55.840><c> an</c><00:35:55.940><c> opportunity</c><00:35:56.440><c> from</c><00:35:56.760><c> time</c><00:35:57.000><c> to</c><00:35:57.179><c> time</c><00:35:57.480><c> to</c><00:35:57.739><c> hear</c>

for<00:36:05.380><c> instance,</c>

00:36:06.139 --> 00:36:09.300
the<00:36:06.380><c> prayers</c><00:36:06.659><c> offered</c><00:36:07.000><c> by</c><00:36:08.199><c> so</c><00:36:08.539><c>-called</c><00:36:08.840><c> priests</c>

I<00:36:14.039><c> haven't</c><00:36:14.199><c> read</c><00:36:14.400><c> this</c><00:36:14.639><c> passage.</c>

00:36:18.380 --> 00:36:19.940
See,<00:36:18.780><c> we've</c><00:36:19.099><c> got</c><00:36:19.139><c> to</c><00:36:19.300><c> avoid</c><00:36:19.579><c> that.</c>

00:36:20.219 --> 00:36:22.119
We<00:36:20.380><c> are</c><00:36:20.559><c> a</c><00:36:20.719><c> different</c><00:36:20.960><c> people.</c>

00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:24.420
We<00:36:22.579><c> have</c><00:36:22.900><c> reason</c><00:36:23.219><c> to</c><00:36:23.400><c> be</c><00:36:23.519><c> different.</c>

00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:26.159
We<00:36:24.880><c> have</c><00:36:25.059><c> reason</c><00:36:25.360><c> to</c><00:36:25.559><c> listen</c><00:36:25.760><c> carefully</c>

00:36:31.340 --> 00:36:36.380
Now<00:36:31.860><c> we</c><00:36:32.000><c> come</c><00:36:32.260><c> to</c><00:36:32.360><c> verses</c><00:36:32.619><c> 16</c><00:36:33.219><c> to</c><00:36:35.420><c> 18.</c>

00:36:42.500 --> 00:36:43.619
He<00:36:42.500><c> says,</c>

00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:45.199
Moreover,<00:36:44.340><c> when</c><00:36:44.579><c> ye</c><00:36:44.820><c> fast,</c>

00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:54.139
Verily,<00:36:52.860><c> I</c><00:36:53.059><c> say</c><00:36:53.260><c> unto</c><00:36:53.460><c> you,</c>

00:37:01.380 --> 00:37:02.900
Well,<00:37:01.699><c> this</c><00:37:01.760><c> word,</c><00:37:02.320><c> sad</c><00:37:02.440><c> countenance,</c>

00:37:06.579 --> 00:37:11.000

they<00:37:15.139><c> wanted</c><00:37:15.340><c> everybody</c><00:37:15.739><c> to</c><00:37:16.000><c> know</c><00:37:16.219><c> that</c><00:37:16.380><c> they</c><00:37:16.539><c> were</c><00:37:16.739><c> fasting.</c>

00:37:17.860 --> 00:37:20.480
So<00:37:18.119><c> they</c><00:37:18.639><c> put</c><00:37:18.940><c> on</c><00:37:19.199><c> a</c><00:37:19.480><c> gloomy</c><00:37:20.019><c> face.</c>

00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:27.000

And<00:37:27.539><c> they</c><00:37:27.760><c> disfigured</c><00:37:28.380><c> their</c><00:37:28.679><c> face.</c>

00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:30.980
It<00:37:29.340><c> means</c><00:37:29.639><c> to</c><00:37:29.880><c> deprive</c><00:37:30.260><c> of</c><00:37:30.480><c> lustre,</c>

00:37:40.380 --> 00:37:42.400
This<00:37:40.699><c> was</c><00:37:40.960><c> really</c><00:37:41.360><c> hard.</c>

00:37:43.179 --> 00:37:47.539

00:37:54.219 --> 00:37:56.139

00:38:01.579 --> 00:38:04.039
It<00:38:01.579><c> means</c><00:38:01.840><c> to</c><00:38:02.099><c> receive</c><00:38:02.599><c> in</c><00:38:03.000><c> full.</c>

They've<00:38:06.139><c> received</c><00:38:06.659><c> in</c><00:38:06.980><c> full</c><00:38:07.579><c> their</c><00:38:08.639><c> reward.</c>

Well,<00:38:11.840><c> we</c><00:38:11.920><c> don't</c><00:38:12.179><c> fast</c><00:38:12.659><c> as</c><00:38:12.960><c> they</c><00:38:13.159><c> did</c><00:38:13.260><c> in</c><00:38:13.460><c> those</c><00:38:13.679><c> times.</c>

00:40:47.820 --> 00:40:50.119
Would<00:40:47.960><c> God</c><00:40:48.619><c> that</c><00:40:48.840><c> it</c><00:40:48.980><c> were</c><00:40:49.219><c> day.</c>

00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:03.440
And<00:41:00.539><c> you</c><00:41:00.619><c> know</c><00:41:00.820><c> what?</c><00:41:01.199><c> Right</c><00:41:01.619><c> in</c><00:41:01.940><c> the</c><00:41:02.059><c> middle</c><00:41:02.480><c> is</c><00:41:02.960><c> perhaps</c><00:41:03.280><c> the</c>

00:41:17.500 --> 00:41:21.780
This<00:41:17.639><c> is</c><00:41:17.920><c> the</c><00:41:17.980><c> reason</c><00:41:18.360><c> why</c><00:41:18.920><c> his</c><00:41:19.340><c> judgments</c><00:41:19.840><c> came</c><00:41:20.500><c> upon</c><00:41:20.840><c> them.</c>

Gloomy<00:42:04.079><c> face.</c>

00:42:12.980 --> 00:42:15.579
And<00:42:13.159><c> God</c><00:42:13.340><c> says,</c><00:42:13.719><c> you</c><00:42:13.820><c> know</c><00:42:13.960><c> what</c><00:42:14.159><c> your</c><00:42:14.420><c> problem</c><00:42:14.679><c> is?</c>

00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:28.900
So<00:42:27.460><c> what's</c><00:42:27.780><c> going</c><00:42:27.920><c> to</c><00:42:28.019><c> happen</c><00:42:28.219><c> to</c><00:42:28.400><c> these</c><00:42:28.639><c> people?</c>

00:42:29.179 --> 00:42:30.599

But<00:42:49.880><c> this</c><00:42:50.039><c> wasn't</c><00:42:50.400><c> a</c><00:42:50.760><c> willing</c><00:42:51.119><c> fast,</c><00:42:51.820><c> was</c><00:42:52.059><c> it?</c>

Their<00:42:56.480><c> enemies</c><00:42:56.800><c> would</c><00:42:57.079><c> deny</c><00:42:57.460><c> them</c><00:42:58.079><c> food</c><00:42:58.500><c> and</c><00:42:58.780><c> drink.</c>

00:45:53.380 --> 00:45:56.699
You<00:45:53.559><c> might</c><00:45:53.840><c> be</c><00:45:54.199><c> tired,</c><00:45:55.000><c> but</c><00:45:55.219><c> I</c><00:45:55.380><c> don't</c><00:45:55.539><c> feel</c><00:45:56.059><c> tired.</c>

00:45:56.699 --> 00:45:59.119
I'm<00:45:57.619><c> exhilarated.</c>

00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:03.019
So<00:46:01.579><c> why</c><00:46:01.780><c> should</c><00:46:01.880><c> you</c><00:46:02.059><c> complain?</c>

00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.719
Why<00:46:04.760><c> should</c><00:46:04.900><c> you</c><00:46:05.079><c> make</c><00:46:05.219><c> a</c><00:46:05.500><c> show</c><00:46:05.679><c> of</c><00:46:05.940><c> your</c><00:46:06.219><c> self</c><00:46:06.440><c>-sacrifice?</c>

00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:10.800
It's<00:46:08.699><c> not</c><00:46:08.880><c> about</c><00:46:09.199><c> us,</c><00:46:09.579><c> is</c><00:46:09.699><c> it?</c>

00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:18.300
It's<00:46:13.260><c> about</c><00:46:13.880><c> giving</c><00:46:14.320><c> glory</c><00:46:14.900><c> to</c><00:46:15.800><c> the</c><00:46:16.019><c> one</c><00:46:16.559><c> who's</c><00:46:17.260><c> made</c><00:46:17.460><c> it</c><00:46:17.719><c> possible</c>

00:46:18.300 --> 00:46:22.619
and<00:46:18.699><c> who</c><00:46:18.840><c> has</c><00:46:19.139><c> given</c><00:46:19.320><c> us</c><00:46:20.199><c> a</c><00:46:20.500><c> blessing</c><00:46:20.860><c> which</c><00:46:21.480><c> none</c><00:46:21.860><c> of</c><00:46:22.039><c> us</c>

00:46:22.619 --> 00:46:24.659
really<00:46:23.420><c> deserve.</c>

00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:32.360
So<00:46:29.079><c> we</c><00:46:29.260><c> come</c><00:46:29.500><c> back</c><00:46:29.719><c> to</c><00:46:29.820><c> Matthew</c><00:46:30.179><c> chapter</c><00:46:30.559><c> 6.</c>

00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:39.019

00:46:39.940 --> 00:46:41.960

Anointing<00:46:42.719><c> our</c><00:46:42.880><c> heads</c><00:46:43.099><c> with</c><00:46:43.300><c> oil</c><00:46:44.039><c> and</c><00:46:45.219><c> washing</c><00:46:45.559><c> our</c><00:46:45.920><c> face,</c>

00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:52.599
making<00:46:49.920><c> it</c><00:46:50.179><c> clear</c><00:46:50.579><c> who</c><00:46:50.820><c> we</c><00:46:51.059><c> are,</c>

00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:56.840

00:46:57.280 --> 00:47:00.079
We<00:46:57.340><c> want</c><00:46:57.539><c> to</c><00:46:57.820><c> give</c><00:46:57.980><c> ourselves</c><00:46:58.579><c> to</c><00:46:58.739><c> Him.</c>

00:47:00.619 --> 00:47:02.719
So<00:47:00.659><c> in</c><00:47:00.860><c> verse</c><00:47:01.079><c> 18</c><00:47:01.420><c> He</c><00:47:01.539><c> says,</c>
