00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.259
This<00:00:35.159><c> is</c><00:00:35.399><c> not</c><00:00:35.560><c> to</c><00:00:35.759><c> say</c><00:00:35.939><c> that</c><00:00:36.119><c> he</c><00:00:36.200><c> did</c><00:00:36.460><c> not</c><00:00:36.700><c> do</c><00:00:36.880><c> any</c><00:00:37.119><c> more</c><00:00:37.299><c> preaching</c><00:00:37.659><c> after</c><00:00:38.039><c> this.</c>

00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:42.799
It's<00:00:38.500><c> just</c><00:00:38.780><c> that</c><00:00:38.979><c> this</c><00:00:39.219><c> is</c><00:00:39.500><c> the</c><00:00:39.659><c> last</c><00:00:40.340><c> recorded</c><00:00:41.359><c> preaching</c><00:00:42.079><c> that</c><00:00:42.500><c> we</c>

00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:48.039
It<00:00:43.539><c> seems</c><00:00:43.780><c> that</c><00:00:44.079><c> after</c><00:00:44.280><c> this,</c><00:00:45.240><c> Peter's</c><00:00:45.579><c> work</c><00:00:45.759><c> became</c><00:00:46.060><c> more</c><00:00:46.539><c> pastorial</c><00:00:47.340><c> in</c>

00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:54.560

00:00:55.259 --> 00:00:58.820
So<00:00:55.820><c> we're</c><00:00:55.920><c> not</c><00:00:56.119><c> going</c><00:00:56.340><c> into</c><00:00:56.600><c> the</c><00:00:56.939><c> details</c><00:00:57.380><c> of</c><00:00:57.759><c> the</c><00:00:58.100><c> sheet</c><00:00:58.340><c> being</c><00:00:58.659><c> led</c>

00:01:22.900 --> 00:01:28.920
God,<00:01:23.620><c> I'm</c><00:01:23.859><c> sure,</c><00:01:26.239><c> from</c><00:01:26.439><c> your</c><00:01:26.659><c> viewpoint,</c><00:01:27.359><c> I</c><00:01:27.500><c> know</c><00:01:27.620><c> from</c><00:01:27.900><c> mine,</c>

00:01:32.219 --> 00:01:33.980
It<00:01:32.379><c> had</c><00:01:32.519><c> been</c><00:01:32.599><c> up</c><00:01:32.799><c> to</c><00:01:32.980><c> me.</c>

00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:39.299
And<00:01:34.599><c> there</c><00:01:34.739><c> are</c><00:01:34.920><c> some</c><00:01:35.120><c> that</c><00:01:35.299><c> God</c><00:01:35.680><c> did</c><00:01:36.400><c> not</c><00:01:36.700><c> call</c><00:01:37.079><c> that</c><00:01:37.319><c> I</c><00:01:37.799><c> wanted</c><00:01:38.120><c> so</c><00:01:38.599><c> much</c><00:01:38.859><c> that</c><00:01:39.099><c> he</c>

would<00:01:39.599><c> call.</c>

00:01:40.659 --> 00:01:44.180
But<00:01:40.879><c> I</c><00:01:41.200><c> make</c><00:01:41.379><c> mistakes</c><00:01:42.079><c> and</c><00:01:43.159><c> the</c><00:01:43.319><c> Lord</c><00:01:43.459><c> does</c><00:01:43.819><c> not.</c>

00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:49.040
So<00:01:44.680><c> he</c><00:01:44.879><c> calls</c><00:01:45.599><c> whom</c><00:01:45.980><c> he</c><00:01:46.280><c> will,</c><00:01:47.120><c> and</c><00:01:47.359><c> he's</c><00:01:47.700><c> never</c><00:01:48.060><c> made</c><00:01:48.400><c> a</c><00:01:48.579><c> mistake.</c>

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.140

couldn't<00:01:55.780><c> be</c><00:01:55.980><c> at</c><00:01:56.079><c> Bible</c><00:01:56.359><c> school</c><00:01:56.659><c> without</c><00:01:56.959><c> having</c><00:01:57.239><c> been</c><00:01:57.599><c> called.</c>

00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:03.000
But<00:02:00.480><c> I</c><00:02:00.640><c> do</c><00:02:00.920><c> believe</c><00:02:01.340><c> that</c><00:02:01.599><c> if</c><00:02:01.739><c> you</c><00:02:01.920><c> have</c><00:02:02.099><c> come</c><00:02:02.280><c> to</c><00:02:02.439><c> this</c><00:02:02.659><c> Bible</c>

We<00:02:11.020><c> want</c><00:02:11.219><c> to</c><00:02:11.360><c> talk</c><00:02:11.539><c> about</c><00:02:11.860><c> that.</c>

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:17.560
We<00:02:12.780><c> hope</c><00:02:13.039><c> that</c><00:02:13.259><c> we</c><00:02:13.379><c> can</c><00:02:13.620><c> help</c><00:02:14.280><c> prepare</c><00:02:15.000><c> you</c><00:02:15.560><c> to</c><00:02:15.800><c> make</c><00:02:15.939><c> that</c><00:02:16.379><c> important</c><00:02:16.879><c> decision</c><00:02:17.379><c> in</c>

your<00:02:17.800><c> life.</c>

00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.419
So<00:02:18.879><c> Peter,</c><00:02:19.300><c> like</c><00:02:19.520><c> Ananias,</c><00:02:20.319><c> would</c><00:02:20.479><c> not</c><00:02:20.639><c> have</c><00:02:20.900><c> chosen</c><00:02:21.180><c> to</c><00:02:21.300><c> go</c>

But<00:06:22.139><c> he</c><00:06:22.560><c> never</c><00:06:23.000><c> obeyed</c><00:06:23.399><c> it.</c>

00:06:24.579 --> 00:06:28.959
And<00:06:24.899><c> then</c><00:06:25.319><c> the</c><00:06:25.740><c> pope</c><00:06:26.019><c> came</c><00:06:26.639><c> up</c><00:06:26.959><c> with</c><00:06:27.180><c> a</c><00:06:27.339><c> new</c><00:06:28.000><c> rule.</c>

Then<00:07:23.180><c> he</c><00:07:23.319><c> says</c><00:07:23.439><c> I</c><00:07:23.639><c> never</c><00:07:24.120><c> tasted</c><00:07:24.600><c> meat</c><00:07:24.839><c> on</c><00:07:25.160><c> Friday</c><00:07:25.399><c> and</c><00:07:25.600><c> now</c><00:07:25.860><c> I</c>

00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:27.279
suddenly<00:07:26.459><c> can.</c>

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.959
There's<00:07:28.160><c> something</c><00:07:28.360><c> wrong</c><00:07:28.819><c> here.</c>

00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.199
And<00:07:30.439><c> as</c><00:07:30.600><c> a</c><00:07:30.720><c> result</c><00:07:30.879><c> of</c><00:07:31.040><c> that</c><00:07:31.180><c> he</c><00:07:31.360><c> became</c><00:07:31.699><c> a</c><00:07:31.899><c> Christadelphian.</c>

00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:38.240
So<00:07:36.540><c> you</c><00:07:36.720><c> might</c><00:07:36.920><c> think</c><00:07:37.079><c> that</c><00:07:37.220><c> was</c><00:07:37.439><c> a</c><00:07:37.579><c> little</c><00:07:37.759><c> thing.</c>

00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.839
But<00:07:38.819><c> you</c><00:07:38.980><c> see,</c><00:07:39.480><c> little</c><00:07:39.759><c> things</c><00:07:40.240><c> can</c><00:07:40.899><c> be</c><00:07:41.100><c> a</c><00:07:41.240><c> big</c><00:07:41.439><c> thing</c><00:07:41.699><c> to</c><00:07:41.939><c> someone.</c>

00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:49.339
So<00:07:43.959><c> just</c><00:07:44.439><c> remember</c><00:07:44.899><c> that</c><00:07:45.339><c> the</c><00:07:45.519><c> first</c><00:07:46.000><c> pope,</c><00:07:46.420><c> we</c><00:07:46.959><c> don't</c><00:07:47.180><c> believe</c><00:07:47.339><c> he</c><00:07:47.560><c> was,</c><00:07:48.000><c> said</c><00:07:48.199><c> don't</c><00:07:48.600><c> worship</c><00:07:48.980><c> me.</c>

00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:50.720
And<00:07:49.660><c> we</c><00:07:50.040><c> believe</c><00:07:50.439><c> that.</c>

00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.579
We<00:07:50.860><c> don't</c><00:07:51.120><c> think</c><00:07:51.240><c> we</c><00:07:51.399><c> should</c><00:07:51.560><c> bow</c><00:07:51.800><c> down</c><00:07:52.100><c> and</c><00:07:52.259><c> worship</c><00:07:53.019><c> any</c><00:07:53.620><c> person,</c><00:07:54.060><c> do</c><00:07:54.300><c> we?</c>

00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.959
Now<00:07:55.139><c> if</c><00:07:55.319><c> we</c><00:07:55.439><c> have</c><00:07:55.600><c> our</c><00:07:55.759><c> Bibles</c><00:07:55.939><c> open</c><00:07:56.240><c> to</c><00:07:56.420><c> Acts</c><00:07:56.680><c> chapter</c><00:07:57.220><c> 10,</c>

00:07:58.060 --> 00:08:00.839
we're<00:07:58.279><c> going</c><00:07:58.360><c> to</c><00:07:58.439><c> get</c><00:07:58.579><c> a</c><00:07:58.720><c> description</c><00:07:59.240><c> of</c><00:07:59.480><c> this</c><00:07:59.779><c> man</c><00:08:00.100><c> Cornelius.</c>

00:08:01.339 --> 00:08:04.779
There<00:08:01.399><c> was</c><00:08:01.620><c> a</c><00:08:01.740><c> certain</c><00:08:01.899><c> man</c><00:08:02.139><c> in</c><00:08:02.319><c> Caesarea</c><00:08:02.959><c> named</c><00:08:03.660><c> Cornelius,</c>

00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:08.040
a<00:08:05.120><c> centurion</c><00:08:05.660><c> of</c><00:08:05.839><c> the</c><00:08:06.079><c> band</c><00:08:06.500><c> called</c><00:08:07.000><c> the</c><00:08:07.220><c> Patian</c><00:08:07.720><c> Band.</c>

00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.920
Now<00:08:08.540><c> I</c><00:08:08.680><c> want</c><00:08:08.920><c> to</c><00:08:09.100><c> describe</c><00:08:09.560><c> him</c><00:08:09.779><c> to</c><00:08:10.000><c> you,</c><00:08:10.399><c> says</c><00:08:10.819><c> Luke</c><00:08:11.620><c> who's</c>

00:08:15.220 --> 00:08:18.819
Now<00:08:15.639><c> Cornelius</c><00:08:16.019><c> was</c><00:08:16.300><c> a</c><00:08:16.519><c> devout</c><00:08:16.779><c> man</c><00:08:17.459><c> and</c><00:08:18.240><c> one</c><00:08:18.439><c> that</c><00:08:18.660><c> feared</c>

00:08:18.819 --> 00:08:20.399
God<00:08:19.220><c> with</c><00:08:19.439><c> all</c><00:08:19.579><c> his</c><00:08:19.759><c> house.</c>

00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:23.379
He<00:08:20.939><c> gave</c><00:08:21.139><c> much</c><00:08:21.420><c> alms</c><00:08:21.779><c> to</c><00:08:21.959><c> the</c><00:08:22.100><c> people</c><00:08:22.420><c> and</c><00:08:22.680><c> he</c><00:08:22.899><c> prayed</c><00:08:23.040><c> to</c><00:08:23.180><c> God</c>

00:08:23.379 --> 00:08:24.620
all<00:08:23.579><c> the</c><00:08:23.740><c> time.</c>

00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.540
Well<00:08:25.480><c> now</c><00:08:25.980><c> that's</c><00:08:26.579><c> a</c><00:08:26.720><c> pretty</c><00:08:27.019><c> high</c><00:08:27.360><c> recommendation,</c><00:08:28.339><c> isn't</c><00:08:28.339><c> it?</c>

00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:33.639
Here<00:08:29.160><c> is</c><00:08:29.399><c> a</c><00:08:29.560><c> person</c><00:08:30.220><c> who</c><00:08:30.660><c> fears</c><00:08:31.500><c> God,</c><00:08:32.100><c> gives</c><00:08:32.360><c> his</c><00:08:32.519><c> money</c><00:08:33.000><c> to</c>

the<00:08:33.840><c> ecclesiast</c>

00:08:34.379 --> 00:08:36.899

00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:43.860
And<00:08:39.519><c> he</c><00:08:40.139><c> saw</c><00:08:40.399><c> in</c><00:08:40.559><c> a</c><00:08:40.720><c> vision</c><00:08:41.379><c> about</c><00:08:42.379><c> three</c><00:08:42.799><c> o</c><00:08:42.899><c>'clock</c><00:08:43.000><c> in</c><00:08:43.179><c> the</c><00:08:43.340><c> afternoon</c>

an<00:08:44.299><c> angel</c><00:08:44.600><c> of</c><00:08:44.759><c> the</c><00:08:44.899><c> Lord</c><00:08:45.340><c> saying,</c><00:08:46.779><c> Cornelius.</c>

00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:50.679
He<00:08:49.279><c> said,</c><00:08:49.419><c> what</c><00:08:49.519><c> is</c><00:08:49.720><c> it</c><00:08:49.879><c> Lord?</c>

00:08:51.139 --> 00:08:54.000
He<00:08:51.220><c> said,</c><00:08:51.460><c> thy</c><00:08:51.580><c> prayers</c><00:08:52.000><c> and</c><00:08:52.220><c> thine</c><00:08:52.399><c> alms</c><00:08:52.879><c> have</c><00:08:53.240><c> come</c><00:08:53.519><c> up</c><00:08:53.740><c> for</c>

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.080
a<00:08:54.100><c> memorial</c><00:08:54.399><c> before</c><00:08:54.779><c> God.</c>

00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:59.379
Here<00:08:55.460><c> is</c><00:08:55.940><c> a</c><00:08:56.360><c> non</c><00:08:56.700><c>-Christadelphian,</c><00:08:57.580><c> a</c><00:08:57.980><c> non</c><00:08:58.259><c>-baptized</c><00:08:58.879><c> person</c>

praying<00:09:00.000><c> and</c><00:09:01.000><c> God</c><00:09:01.539><c> was</c><00:09:01.980><c> listening.</c>

00:09:03.019 --> 00:09:05.740
So<00:09:03.539><c> be</c><00:09:03.759><c> careful</c><00:09:04.000><c> when</c><00:09:04.159><c> you</c><00:09:04.340><c> tell</c><00:09:04.480><c> people</c><00:09:04.799><c> that</c><00:09:05.279><c> God</c><00:09:05.480><c> doesn't</c>

00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:08.379
hear<00:09:05.919><c> the</c><00:09:06.179><c> prayers</c><00:09:06.399><c> of</c><00:09:07.000><c> the</c><00:09:07.519><c> unbaptized.</c>

00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:09.980
He<00:09:08.539><c> heard</c><00:09:08.759><c> this</c><00:09:09.039><c> prayer.</c>

00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.039
God<00:09:10.379><c> decides</c><00:09:10.860><c> which</c><00:09:11.139><c> prayers</c><00:09:11.600><c> he</c><00:09:11.820><c> will</c><00:09:12.080><c> hear</c><00:09:12.419><c> and</c><00:09:12.600><c> which</c><00:09:12.840><c> ones</c>

00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:13.899
he<00:09:13.299><c> won't.</c>

00:09:14.139 --> 00:09:16.700
And<00:09:14.279><c> God</c><00:09:14.419><c> looks</c><00:09:14.659><c> upon</c><00:09:14.940><c> the</c><00:09:15.200><c> heart</c><00:09:15.360><c> and</c><00:09:15.500><c> we</c><00:09:15.759><c> cannot.</c>

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.179
And<00:09:17.279><c> so</c><00:09:17.399><c> we're</c><00:09:17.679><c> thankful</c><00:09:18.039><c> that</c><00:09:18.279><c> God</c><00:09:18.740><c> frequently</c><00:09:19.519><c> has</c><00:09:19.919><c> heard</c>

00:09:20.179 --> 00:09:21.480
prayers<00:09:20.779><c> of</c><00:09:21.080><c> people.</c>

00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:27.080
He<00:09:21.940><c> heard</c><00:09:22.139><c> Dr.</c><00:09:23.259><c> John</c><00:09:23.519><c> Thomas'</c><00:09:24.200><c> prayer</c><00:09:24.500><c> in</c><00:09:25.019><c> the</c><00:09:25.279><c> storm</c><00:09:25.759><c> on</c><00:09:26.279><c> the</c><00:09:26.620><c> sea</c>

00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.100
when<00:09:27.539><c> they</c><00:09:27.759><c> thought</c><00:09:27.879><c> the</c><00:09:28.059><c> ship</c><00:09:28.240><c> was</c><00:09:28.460><c> going</c><00:09:28.600><c> to</c><00:09:28.820><c> sink.</c>

00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:32.080
And<00:09:29.759><c> Brother</c><00:09:30.019><c> Thomas,</c><00:09:30.519><c> he</c><00:09:30.679><c> wasn't</c><00:09:30.980><c> Brother</c><00:09:31.240><c> Thomas</c><00:09:31.639><c> then,</c><00:09:31.860><c> but</c><00:09:31.960><c> he</c>

00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:32.820
made<00:09:32.299><c> a</c><00:09:32.559><c> vow</c>

00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:35.399
and<00:09:33.120><c> you</c><00:09:33.320><c> know</c><00:09:33.600><c> the</c><00:09:33.740><c> rest</c><00:09:33.960><c> of</c><00:09:34.139><c> that</c><00:09:34.360><c> story.</c>

00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:39.399
So<00:09:35.759><c> God</c><00:09:36.120><c> does</c><00:09:36.620><c> hear</c><00:09:36.919><c> prayers</c><00:09:37.460><c> of</c><00:09:37.679><c> people</c><00:09:38.039><c> who</c><00:09:38.299><c> are</c><00:09:38.519><c> not</c><00:09:38.799><c> yet</c><00:09:39.019><c> in</c>

the<00:09:39.639><c> faith.</c>

00:09:40.580 --> 00:09:43.019
And<00:09:40.860><c> we</c><00:09:41.000><c> don't</c><00:09:41.200><c> tell</c><00:09:41.419><c> God</c><00:09:41.679><c> whose</c><00:09:41.879><c> prayers</c><00:09:42.220><c> to</c><00:09:42.460><c> listen</c><00:09:42.700><c> to</c><00:09:42.879><c> and</c>

whose<00:09:43.200><c> don't.</c>

00:09:43.340 --> 00:09:45.100
He<00:09:43.539><c> makes</c><00:09:43.820><c> that</c><00:09:44.080><c> decision.</c>

00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:47.919
Jesus<00:09:45.539><c> talked</c><00:09:45.840><c> about</c><00:09:46.139><c> two</c><00:09:46.399><c> men</c><00:09:46.659><c> who</c><00:09:46.919><c> prayed</c><00:09:47.139><c> and</c><00:09:47.379><c> one</c><00:09:47.659><c> man</c>

00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:49.120
only<00:09:48.220><c> prayed</c><00:09:48.399><c> with</c><00:09:48.600><c> himself</c>

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:53.080
because<00:09:49.860><c> he</c><00:09:50.000><c> had</c><00:09:50.139><c> this</c><00:09:50.299><c> terrible</c><00:09:50.679><c> disease,</c><00:09:52.000><c> itis.</c>

00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.200
I<00:09:53.480><c> thank</c><00:09:53.740><c> you</c><00:09:53.940><c> that</c><00:09:54.100><c> I'm</c><00:09:54.379><c> not</c><00:09:54.519><c> like</c><00:09:54.679><c> the</c><00:09:54.820><c> other</c><00:09:54.980><c> men.</c>

00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:56.940
And<00:09:55.519><c> the</c><00:09:55.620><c> other</c><00:09:55.840><c> man,</c><00:09:56.159><c> God's</c><00:09:56.559><c> prayer.</c>

00:09:57.179 --> 00:09:58.179
God<00:09:57.399><c> heard</c><00:09:57.620><c> that</c><00:09:57.919><c> prayer.</c>

00:09:58.179 --> 00:10:02.840
So<00:09:59.059><c> God</c><00:09:59.460><c> chooses</c><00:09:59.919><c> the</c><00:10:00.360><c> prayers</c><00:10:00.720><c> he</c><00:10:01.220><c> will</c><00:10:01.460><c> listen</c><00:10:01.820><c> to.</c>

00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:07.379
But<00:10:02.980><c> this</c><00:10:03.340><c> man,</c><00:10:03.960><c> Cornelius,</c><00:10:04.759><c> was</c><00:10:05.059><c> quite</c><00:10:05.480><c> a</c><00:10:06.179><c> good</c><00:10:06.419><c> man,</c><00:10:06.980><c> certainly</c><00:10:07.179><c> from</c>

00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:08.940
the<00:10:07.600><c> worldly</c><00:10:07.860><c> viewpoint.</c>

00:10:09.580 --> 00:10:14.320
And<00:10:09.580><c> we</c><00:10:10.419><c> would</c><00:10:10.659><c> think</c><00:10:10.840><c> that</c><00:10:12.000><c> we're</c><00:10:13.419><c> thankful</c><00:10:13.720><c> that</c><00:10:13.879><c> God</c><00:10:14.080><c> did</c>

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:15.600
hear<00:10:14.539><c> his</c><00:10:14.759><c> prayer.</c>

00:10:15.820 --> 00:10:19.220
So<00:10:16.019><c> we</c><00:10:16.179><c> see</c><00:10:16.379><c> how</c><00:10:16.720><c> God's</c><00:10:17.059><c> ways</c><00:10:17.159><c> are</c><00:10:17.379><c> different</c><00:10:17.679><c> than</c><00:10:17.879><c> men's</c><00:10:18.320><c> ways.</c>

00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.000
So<00:10:19.440><c> he</c><00:10:19.580><c> sends</c><00:10:19.820><c> for</c><00:10:20.159><c> Simon.</c>

00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:26.659
He<00:10:22.860><c> says,</c><00:10:23.500><c> go</c><00:10:23.559><c> find</c><00:10:24.240><c> Simon</c><00:10:24.600><c> Peter,</c><00:10:25.899><c> verse</c><00:10:26.240><c> 5.</c>

00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:30.279
Now<00:10:26.879><c> send</c><00:10:27.159><c> men</c><00:10:27.399><c> to</c><00:10:27.759><c> Joppa</c><00:10:28.100><c> and</c><00:10:28.279><c> call</c><00:10:28.480><c> for</c><00:10:28.700><c> one</c><00:10:28.919><c> Simon</c><00:10:29.299><c> whose</c><00:10:29.519><c> surname</c><00:10:29.799><c> is</c><00:10:30.059><c> Peter.</c>

00:10:30.379 --> 00:10:32.399
He<00:10:30.559><c> lodged</c><00:10:30.840><c> with</c><00:10:30.980><c> one</c><00:10:31.220><c> Simon</c><00:10:31.500><c> of</c><00:10:31.700><c> Tanner.</c>

00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.460
So<00:10:32.600><c> he</c><00:10:32.679><c> tells</c><00:10:32.879><c> him</c><00:10:33.000><c> where</c><00:10:33.220><c> he</c><00:10:33.379><c> lives</c><00:10:33.659><c> and</c><00:10:33.879><c> he</c><00:10:34.019><c> tells</c><00:10:34.159><c> him</c><00:10:34.299><c> where</c>

00:10:34.460 --> 00:10:35.519
to<00:10:34.620><c> go.</c>

00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:40.340
Now<00:10:37.720><c> I've</c><00:10:38.159><c> talked</c><00:10:38.320><c> the</c><00:10:38.519><c> truth</c><00:10:38.700><c> to</c><00:10:38.940><c> lots</c><00:10:39.220><c> of</c><00:10:39.480><c> people</c><00:10:39.840><c> and</c><00:10:40.120><c> a</c><00:10:40.279><c> lot</c>

00:10:40.340 --> 00:10:40.840
of<00:10:40.440><c> people</c><00:10:40.539><c> say</c><00:10:40.679><c> to</c><00:10:40.840><c> me,</c>

00:10:40.860 --> 00:10:41.919
I<00:10:41.000><c> don't</c><00:10:41.220><c> need</c><00:10:41.340><c> to</c><00:10:41.440><c> go</c><00:10:41.539><c> to</c><00:10:41.720><c> church.</c>

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:43.820
Churches<00:10:42.320><c> are</c><00:10:42.440><c> full</c><00:10:42.659><c> of</c><00:10:42.840><c> hypocrites.</c>

00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:45.879
He<00:10:44.659><c> says,</c><00:10:44.759><c> I</c><00:10:45.120><c> pay</c><00:10:45.379><c> my</c><00:10:45.679><c> bills.</c>

00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:47.340
I<00:10:46.100><c> don't</c><00:10:46.340><c> cheat</c><00:10:46.539><c> on</c><00:10:46.679><c> my</c><00:10:46.860><c> income</c><00:10:47.139><c> tax.</c>

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.080
I'm<00:10:47.539><c> faithful</c><00:10:47.860><c> to</c><00:10:48.080><c> my</c><00:10:48.299><c> wife.</c>

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:54.259
I<00:10:49.919><c> do</c><00:10:50.299><c> a</c><00:10:50.440><c> good</c><00:10:50.620><c> job</c><00:10:50.879><c> at</c><00:10:51.100><c> work</c><00:10:51.379><c> and</c><00:10:52.000><c> I</c><00:10:52.460><c> just</c><00:10:52.759><c> lead</c><00:10:52.899><c> a</c><00:10:53.080><c> good</c><00:10:53.220><c> life</c><00:10:53.519><c> and</c><00:10:53.639><c> that's</c><00:10:53.879><c> all</c><00:10:54.100><c> I</c>

00:10:54.259 --> 00:10:55.539
need<00:10:54.440><c> to</c><00:10:54.639><c> do.</c>

00:10:56.059 --> 00:10:58.159
And<00:10:56.460><c> if</c><00:10:56.679><c> you</c><00:10:56.860><c> talk</c><00:10:57.059><c> to</c><00:10:57.200><c> a</c><00:10:57.279><c> lot</c><00:10:57.399><c> of</c><00:10:57.580><c> people,</c><00:10:57.740><c> you're</c><00:10:57.960><c> going</c><00:10:58.039><c> to</c>

00:10:59.460 --> 00:11:01.419
Now<00:10:59.639><c> you</c><00:10:59.679><c> don't</c><00:10:59.899><c> say</c><00:11:00.120><c> you're</c><00:11:00.440><c> stupid.</c>

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:03.159
You're<00:11:02.100><c> trying</c><00:11:02.279><c> to</c><00:11:02.440><c> win</c><00:11:02.620><c> them</c><00:11:02.860><c> over.</c>

00:11:03.259 --> 00:11:05.419
So<00:11:03.419><c> I</c><00:11:03.639><c> just</c><00:11:03.840><c> ask</c><00:11:04.059><c> them</c><00:11:04.279><c> a</c><00:11:04.399><c> question.</c>

00:11:06.139 --> 00:11:08.100
Oh,<00:11:06.840><c> well</c><00:11:07.039><c> I'm</c><00:11:07.220><c> glad</c><00:11:07.399><c> to</c><00:11:07.600><c> hear</c><00:11:07.740><c> all</c><00:11:07.960><c> that.</c>

00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:10.539
Those<00:11:08.279><c> are</c><00:11:08.519><c> all</c><00:11:08.720><c> good</c><00:11:08.940><c> things</c><00:11:09.220><c> that</c><00:11:09.419><c> you</c><00:11:09.539><c> just</c><00:11:09.720><c> said</c><00:11:09.919><c> you</c><00:11:10.139><c> do</c><00:11:10.279><c> and</c><00:11:10.399><c> I</c>

00:11:10.539 --> 00:11:11.860
want<00:11:10.659><c> to</c><00:11:10.840><c> congratulate</c><00:11:11.320><c> you</c><00:11:11.500><c> for</c><00:11:11.700><c> that.</c>

00:11:12.179 --> 00:11:14.500
There's<00:11:12.419><c> a</c><00:11:12.539><c> lot</c><00:11:12.620><c> of</c><00:11:12.759><c> people</c><00:11:12.899><c> that</c><00:11:13.259><c> can't</c><00:11:13.700><c> say</c><00:11:13.899><c> what</c><00:11:14.080><c> you're</c><00:11:14.299><c> saying.</c>

00:11:14.580 --> 00:11:16.539
I<00:11:14.899><c> sure</c><00:11:15.159><c> respect</c><00:11:15.600><c> you.</c>

00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:17.820
But<00:11:16.720><c> I</c><00:11:16.960><c> want</c><00:11:17.139><c> to</c><00:11:17.259><c> ask</c><00:11:17.399><c> you</c><00:11:17.559><c> a</c><00:11:17.600><c> question.</c>

00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.240
Do<00:11:18.000><c> you</c><00:11:18.179><c> think</c><00:11:18.399><c> that</c><00:11:18.659><c> God</c><00:11:18.860><c> did</c><00:11:19.100><c> a</c><00:11:19.299><c> foolish</c><00:11:19.559><c> thing</c><00:11:20.200><c> when</c><00:11:21.240><c> he</c><00:11:21.799><c> had</c>

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.980
Jesus<00:11:22.700><c> die</c><00:11:23.200><c> on</c><00:11:23.460><c> the</c><00:11:23.759><c> cross?</c>

00:11:26.259 --> 00:11:28.600
Well,<00:11:26.720><c> I've</c><00:11:26.879><c> never</c><00:11:27.059><c> had</c><00:11:27.279><c> anybody</c><00:11:27.659><c> say</c><00:11:27.940><c> that</c><00:11:28.080><c> he</c><00:11:28.200><c> thought</c><00:11:28.379><c> God</c>

00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:30.940
was<00:11:28.820><c> foolish</c><00:11:29.100><c> for</c><00:11:29.320><c> doing</c><00:11:29.879><c> that.</c>

00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.840
And<00:11:31.379><c> he</c><00:11:31.440><c> says,</c><00:11:31.700><c> no,</c><00:11:31.840><c> no,</c><00:11:32.460><c> no,</c><00:11:32.720><c> no,</c><00:11:32.960><c> I</c><00:11:33.080><c> don't</c><00:11:33.299><c> think</c><00:11:33.440><c> he</c><00:11:33.700><c> was.</c>

00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:35.220
I<00:11:34.000><c> said,</c><00:11:34.179><c> well,</c><00:11:34.259><c> you</c><00:11:34.320><c> know,</c><00:11:34.440><c> I</c><00:11:34.580><c> agree</c><00:11:34.740><c> with</c><00:11:34.980><c> you.</c>

00:11:35.460 --> 00:11:36.580
So<00:11:35.539><c> we're</c><00:11:35.720><c> getting</c><00:11:35.919><c> along</c><00:11:36.259><c> fine.</c>

00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:37.580
You<00:11:36.720><c> know,</c><00:11:36.840><c> we're</c><00:11:37.019><c> not</c><00:11:37.159><c> arguing.</c>

00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.759
We're<00:11:38.259><c> on</c><00:11:38.399><c> the</c><00:11:38.659><c> same</c><00:11:38.879><c> page.</c>

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:47.799
But<00:11:40.059><c> I</c><00:11:40.120><c> said,</c><00:11:41.960><c> but</c><00:11:42.159><c> you</c><00:11:42.460><c> just</c><00:11:43.299><c> said</c><00:11:43.940><c> that</c><00:11:45.360><c> by</c><00:11:45.960><c> paying</c><00:11:46.259><c> your</c><00:11:46.700><c> taxes</c><00:11:47.200><c> and</c>

00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:48.879
living<00:11:48.120><c> a</c><00:11:48.340><c> good</c><00:11:48.519><c> life</c>

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.200
and<00:11:49.000><c> being</c><00:11:49.279><c> faithful</c><00:11:49.639><c> to</c><00:11:49.860><c> your</c><00:11:50.059><c> spouse</c><00:11:50.639><c> and</c><00:11:51.360><c> working</c><00:11:51.840><c> hard,</c>

00:11:52.460 --> 00:11:53.720
it's<00:11:52.759><c> enough.</c>

00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.080
You're<00:11:54.799><c> doing</c><00:11:55.080><c> it</c><00:11:55.320><c> without</c><00:11:55.679><c> Jesus,</c><00:11:56.500><c> aren't</c><00:11:56.600><c> you?</c>

00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:00.539
You<00:11:57.700><c> didn't</c><00:11:58.019><c> really</c><00:11:58.379><c> need</c><00:11:58.639><c> him,</c><00:11:59.159><c> did</c><00:11:59.340><c> you?</c>

00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:03.980
Because<00:12:00.980><c> you</c><00:12:01.279><c> are</c><00:12:01.519><c> ignoring</c><00:12:01.980><c> him</c><00:12:02.360><c> by</c><00:12:02.639><c> just</c><00:12:03.039><c> paying</c><00:12:03.240><c> your</c><00:12:03.500><c> taxes</c><00:12:03.840><c> and</c>

00:12:03.980 --> 00:12:05.360
being<00:12:04.299><c> faithful.</c>

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.039
And<00:12:06.659><c> you</c><00:12:06.779><c> know</c><00:12:06.840><c> that</c><00:12:07.039><c> makes</c><00:12:07.299><c> people</c><00:12:07.600><c> stop</c><00:12:07.919><c> and</c><00:12:08.220><c> think.</c>

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.419
And<00:12:09.299><c> that's</c><00:12:09.399><c> all</c><00:12:09.539><c> you're</c><00:12:09.779><c> trying</c><00:12:09.940><c> to</c><00:12:10.179><c> do</c><00:12:10.360><c> is</c><00:12:10.500><c> try</c><00:12:10.700><c> to</c><00:12:10.799><c> get</c><00:12:10.899><c> people</c><00:12:11.179><c> to</c>

00:12:11.419 --> 00:12:12.620
stop<00:12:11.580><c> and</c><00:12:11.860><c> think.</c>

00:12:12.740 --> 00:12:15.679
And<00:12:12.879><c> sometimes</c><00:12:13.100><c> they</c><00:12:13.220><c> say,</c><00:12:13.419><c> well,</c><00:12:13.639><c> maybe</c><00:12:14.220><c> I</c><00:12:14.500><c> should</c><00:12:14.720><c> do</c><00:12:15.000><c> something.</c>

00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:19.679
I<00:12:16.220><c> mean,</c><00:12:17.299><c> I</c><00:12:17.519><c> always</c><00:12:17.700><c> tell</c><00:12:17.879><c> them</c><00:12:18.080><c> that</c><00:12:18.539><c> salvation</c><00:12:18.960><c> is</c><00:12:19.220><c> not</c><00:12:19.399><c> a</c><00:12:19.480><c> do</c>

00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.080
-it<00:12:19.759><c>-yourself</c><00:12:20.179><c> kit.</c>

00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:25.279
You<00:12:21.840><c> can't</c><00:12:22.259><c> buy</c><00:12:22.360><c> your</c><00:12:22.639><c> own</c><00:12:22.940><c> bootstraps,</c><00:12:23.419><c> pull</c><00:12:23.620><c> yourself</c><00:12:24.039><c> up.</c>

00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.080
If<00:12:25.860><c> it</c><00:12:26.080><c> weren't</c><00:12:26.200><c> for</c><00:12:26.399><c> the</c><00:12:26.500><c> Lord</c><00:12:26.639><c> Jesus</c><00:12:26.980><c> Christ,</c><00:12:27.580><c> no</c><00:12:27.759><c> one</c><00:12:27.919><c> could</c>

00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:28.779
be<00:12:28.360><c> saved.</c>

00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:32.259
But<00:12:29.440><c> you've</c><00:12:29.679><c> got</c><00:12:29.799><c> to</c><00:12:30.019><c> know</c><00:12:30.240><c> what</c><00:12:30.440><c> he</c><00:12:30.720><c> said</c><00:12:30.960><c> and</c><00:12:31.220><c> did</c><00:12:31.360><c> and</c><00:12:31.559><c> do</c><00:12:31.799><c> what</c><00:12:31.980><c> he</c>

00:12:32.259 --> 00:12:33.480
says<00:12:32.460><c> to</c><00:12:32.700><c> do.</c>

00:12:33.539 --> 00:12:34.799
Do<00:12:33.779><c> you</c><00:12:33.860><c> know</c><00:12:33.960><c> what</c><00:12:34.080><c> he</c><00:12:34.240><c> said</c><00:12:34.399><c> to</c><00:12:34.620><c> do?</c>

00:12:34.940 --> 00:12:36.460
Of<00:12:35.019><c> course,</c><00:12:35.240><c> you</c><00:12:35.299><c> know,</c><00:12:35.539><c> he</c><00:12:35.620><c> said</c><00:12:35.779><c> to</c><00:12:35.940><c> be</c><00:12:36.100><c> baptized.</c>

00:12:36.539 --> 00:12:37.740
That's<00:12:36.799><c> the</c><00:12:36.919><c> first</c><00:12:37.179><c> thing</c><00:12:37.299><c> he</c><00:12:37.559><c> said.</c>

00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:39.980
And<00:12:37.980><c> they're</c><00:12:38.620><c> not</c><00:12:38.820><c> doing</c><00:12:39.059><c> that.</c>

00:12:40.259 --> 00:12:43.779
So<00:12:40.259><c> just</c><00:12:41.159><c> ask</c><00:12:41.460><c> questions</c><00:12:41.879><c> of</c><00:12:42.100><c> people</c><00:12:42.299><c> who</c><00:12:42.500><c> tell</c><00:12:42.740><c> you</c><00:12:43.460><c> things</c>

00:12:43.779 --> 00:12:45.919
which<00:12:44.179><c> are</c><00:12:44.720><c> clear</c><00:12:44.899><c> off</c><00:12:45.200><c> the</c><00:12:45.480><c> wall.</c>

00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:52.919
Why<00:12:46.799><c> did</c><00:12:47.440><c> God</c><00:12:47.779><c> send</c><00:12:48.159><c> Jesus</c><00:12:48.759><c> if</c><00:12:49.440><c> you</c><00:12:49.720><c> are</c><00:12:50.000><c> so</c><00:12:50.340><c> good</c><00:12:50.559><c> all</c><00:12:51.039><c> by</c><00:12:51.399><c> yourself?</c>

00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:57.879
So<00:12:54.019><c> now</c><00:12:54.480><c> from</c><00:12:55.340><c> a</c><00:12:55.740><c> worldly</c><00:12:55.980><c> viewpoint,</c><00:12:57.059><c> Cornelius</c><00:12:57.299><c> could</c><00:12:57.480><c> have</c><00:12:57.620><c> said,</c>

00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.159
I'm<00:13:03.639><c> paying</c><00:13:03.779><c> my</c><00:13:04.139><c> alms.</c>

00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:06.919
I'm<00:13:05.659><c> fearing</c><00:13:06.000><c> God.</c>

00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:07.960
I'm<00:13:07.279><c> praying</c><00:13:07.559><c> all</c><00:13:07.779><c> the</c><00:13:07.879><c> time.</c>

00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:09.799
What<00:13:08.480><c> more</c><00:13:08.700><c> do</c><00:13:08.860><c> you</c><00:13:09.019><c> want</c><00:13:09.179><c> from</c><00:13:09.440><c> me,</c><00:13:09.700><c> God?</c>

00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:12.200
I'm<00:13:10.139><c> doing</c><00:13:10.340><c> everything</c><00:13:10.600><c> I</c><00:13:10.759><c> know</c><00:13:10.899><c> how</c><00:13:11.080><c> to</c><00:13:11.240><c> do.</c>

00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:15.299
And<00:13:13.419><c> he</c><00:13:13.500><c> was</c><00:13:13.679><c> doing</c><00:13:13.899><c> everything</c><00:13:14.080><c> he</c><00:13:14.159><c> knew</c><00:13:14.259><c> how</c><00:13:14.460><c> to</c><00:13:14.559><c> do,</c><00:13:14.759><c> wasn't</c><00:13:14.899><c> he?</c>

00:13:15.299 --> 00:13:17.659
But<00:13:15.580><c> you</c><00:13:15.779><c> see,</c><00:13:16.059><c> because</c><00:13:16.500><c> there</c><00:13:16.820><c> was</c><00:13:16.940><c> something</c><00:13:17.139><c> missing</c><00:13:17.500><c> that</c>

00:13:17.659 --> 00:13:18.580
he<00:13:17.779><c> didn't</c><00:13:17.960><c> know</c><00:13:18.200><c> about,</c>

00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.679

00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:32.580
Well,<00:13:30.179><c> Cornelius</c><00:13:30.600><c> did</c><00:13:31.679><c> what</c><00:13:31.919><c> God</c><00:13:32.220><c> said.</c>

Well,<00:15:28.659><c> now,</c><00:15:29.399><c> instead</c><00:15:29.740><c> of</c><00:15:30.019><c> arguing,</c><00:15:30.659><c> they're</c><00:15:31.000><c> asking.</c>

00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:37.019

00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:44.039
you're<00:15:40.440><c> asleep</c><00:15:40.840><c> and</c><00:15:41.220><c> resurrection</c><00:15:41.779><c> is</c><00:15:42.639><c> waking</c><00:15:42.940><c> up</c><00:15:43.259><c> from</c><00:15:43.539><c> sleep.</c>

00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.700

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:49.759

00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:54.620
Now,<00:15:53.039><c> I</c><00:15:53.179><c> don't</c><00:15:53.379><c> do</c><00:15:53.620><c> that.</c>

00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:00.620
Because<00:15:57.480><c> you</c><00:15:57.759><c> don't</c><00:15:58.080><c> want</c><00:15:58.299><c> to</c><00:15:59.299><c> be</c><00:15:59.500><c> flippant</c><00:16:00.039><c> and</c><00:16:00.340><c> you</c><00:16:00.399><c> don't</c>

of<00:16:02.240><c> their</c><00:16:02.440><c> beliefs</c><00:16:02.779><c> because</c><00:16:03.059><c> they</c><00:16:03.220><c> are</c><00:16:03.500><c> sincere.</c>

00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:06.600

00:16:06.659 --> 00:16:07.320
They've<00:16:06.779><c> got</c><00:16:06.879><c> a</c><00:16:07.059><c> problem.</c>

You<00:16:07.559><c> believe</c><00:16:07.840><c> this?</c>

00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:08.399
Yeah.

Can<00:16:10.259><c> you</c><00:16:10.419><c> help</c><00:16:10.519><c> me</c><00:16:10.779><c> understand</c><00:16:11.120><c> how</c><00:16:11.460><c> do</c><00:16:11.639><c> you</c><00:16:11.740><c> reconcile</c><00:16:12.320><c> those</c><00:16:12.639><c> two?</c>

00:16:13.179 --> 00:16:14.539
And<00:16:13.460><c> they</c><00:16:13.940><c> don't</c><00:16:14.200><c> know.</c>

00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:16.059
They<00:16:14.740><c> have</c><00:16:14.940><c> no</c><00:16:15.139><c> answer.</c>

00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:19.399

00:16:30.139 --> 00:16:33.700
But<00:16:30.299><c> you've</c><00:16:30.600><c> prided</c><00:16:30.759><c> a</c><00:16:31.019><c> seed</c><00:16:31.220><c> that</c><00:16:31.899><c> the</c><00:16:32.100><c> hope</c><00:16:32.259><c> is</c><00:16:32.899><c> in</c><00:16:33.120><c> a</c><00:16:33.279><c> resurrection</c>

00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:43.659
So<00:16:38.019><c> Cornelius</c><00:16:38.580><c> explains</c><00:16:39.279><c> to</c><00:16:39.580><c> Peter</c><00:16:39.840><c> why</c><00:16:41.559><c> he</c><00:16:42.279><c> called</c><00:16:42.500><c> for</c><00:16:42.759><c> him.</c>

00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:47.799
And<00:16:44.120><c> in</c><00:16:44.279><c> a</c><00:16:44.419><c> way,</c><00:16:45.059><c> Cornelius</c><00:16:45.659><c> thanks</c><00:16:46.279><c> Peter</c><00:16:46.659><c> for</c><00:16:46.980><c> coming</c><00:16:47.460><c> in</c>

We're<00:16:49.519><c> still</c><00:16:49.759><c> in</c><00:16:49.879><c> chapter</c><00:16:50.120><c> 10.</c>

Thou<00:16:51.399><c> hast</c><00:16:51.620><c> done</c><00:16:51.879><c> well</c><00:16:52.159><c> that</c><00:16:52.360><c> thou</c><00:16:52.519><c> art</c><00:16:52.740><c> come.</c>

00:16:58.259 --> 00:16:59.860
that<00:16:58.480><c> are</c><00:16:58.759><c> commanded</c><00:16:59.100><c> thee</c><00:16:59.340><c> of</c><00:16:59.519><c> God.</c>

00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.579
In<00:17:00.399><c> our</c><00:17:00.600><c> days,</c><00:17:00.840><c> we</c><00:17:00.840><c> say,</c><00:17:01.440><c> we're</c><00:17:02.360><c> all</c><00:17:02.840><c> ears</c><00:17:03.419><c> to</c><00:17:03.720><c> hear.</c>

00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:06.920
And<00:17:05.500><c> Peter</c><00:17:05.740><c> is</c><00:17:06.039><c> quite</c><00:17:06.319><c> surprised.</c>

00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.039
He's<00:17:07.160><c> taken</c><00:17:07.440><c> back</c><00:17:07.759><c> by</c><00:17:07.980><c> the</c><00:17:08.200><c> whole</c><00:17:08.480><c> proceeding.</c>

00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:14.319
And<00:17:09.819><c> he</c><00:17:10.039><c> realizes</c><00:17:10.319><c> that</c><00:17:10.640><c> God's</c><00:17:11.059><c> hand</c><00:17:11.359><c> is</c><00:17:12.759><c> what</c><00:17:13.119><c> is</c><00:17:13.400><c> happening.</c>

00:17:14.779 --> 00:17:18.339
And<00:17:14.980><c> Peter</c><00:17:15.180><c> says,</c><00:17:15.619><c> I</c><00:17:15.880><c> perceive</c><00:17:16.339><c> that</c><00:17:16.559><c> God</c><00:17:16.819><c> is</c><00:17:17.119><c> no</c><00:17:17.539><c> respecter</c>

00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:19.660
of<00:17:18.640><c> persons.</c>

00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.619
And<00:17:20.859><c> aren't</c><00:17:21.220><c> we</c><00:17:21.539><c> thankful</c><00:17:22.059><c> that</c><00:17:22.579><c> that's</c><00:17:23.039><c> true?</c>

00:17:24.059 --> 00:17:26.339
Because<00:17:24.559><c> he</c><00:17:25.220><c> called</c><00:17:25.559><c> us.</c>

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.500
And<00:17:27.000><c> we're</c><00:17:27.160><c> so</c><00:17:27.500><c> thankful</c><00:17:27.900><c> that</c><00:17:28.220><c> he</c><00:17:28.359><c> did.</c>

00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.700
In<00:17:30.900><c> school,</c><00:17:32.019><c> we</c><00:17:32.259><c> have</c><00:17:32.900><c> respecter</c><00:17:33.539><c> of</c><00:17:33.720><c> persons.</c>

00:17:35.900 --> 00:17:40.259
Teachers'<00:17:36.279><c> pet</c><00:17:36.500><c> is</c><00:17:36.740><c> a</c><00:17:36.920><c> famous</c><00:17:37.619><c> problem,</c><00:17:39.400><c> which</c><00:17:39.400><c> teachers</c><00:17:39.880><c> have</c><00:17:40.059><c> to</c>

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:40.640
work<00:17:40.420><c> at</c>

00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.660
trying<00:17:40.880><c> not</c><00:17:41.160><c> to</c><00:17:41.380><c> show</c><00:17:41.579><c> that</c><00:17:41.759><c> they</c><00:17:41.960><c> have</c><00:17:42.079><c> their</c><00:17:42.359><c> favorite.</c>

00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.079
But<00:17:43.079><c> every</c><00:17:43.519><c> teacher</c><00:17:43.880><c> does.</c>

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.119
And<00:17:45.480><c> in</c><00:17:45.980><c> the</c><00:17:46.220><c> business</c><00:17:46.579><c> world,</c><00:17:47.180><c> we</c><00:17:47.279><c> certainly</c><00:17:47.700><c> have,</c>

00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.079
it's<00:17:48.420><c> not</c><00:17:48.559><c> who</c><00:17:48.819><c> you</c><00:17:49.079><c> know.</c>

00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:51.019
It's<00:17:50.380><c> not</c><00:17:50.500><c> what</c><00:17:50.680><c> you</c><00:17:50.880><c> know.</c>

00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:53.019
It's<00:17:51.480><c> who</c><00:17:51.660><c> you</c><00:17:51.940><c> know.</c>

00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:55.420
What's<00:17:54.599><c> happening?</c>

00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:04.319
I<00:18:03.079><c> need</c><00:18:03.460><c> him.</c>

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:08.680
He<00:18:05.779><c> signals</c><00:18:06.180><c> to</c><00:18:06.380><c> me,</c><00:18:06.480><c> but</c><00:18:06.579><c> I</c><00:18:06.759><c> forget</c><00:18:06.940><c> to</c><00:18:07.160><c> look</c><00:18:07.380><c> at</c><00:18:07.579><c> him.</c>

00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:10.980
He's<00:18:10.380><c> up</c><00:18:10.480><c> there</c><00:18:10.779><c> waiting.</c>

00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.299
He<00:18:11.299><c> looks</c><00:18:11.460><c> like</c><00:18:11.640><c> a</c><00:18:11.779><c> cheerleader</c><00:18:12.079><c> sometimes.</c>

00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:18.420
Thank<00:18:17.400><c> you.</c>

00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:20.720

00:18:21.299 --> 00:18:23.779
Oh,<00:18:21.500><c> I'm</c><00:18:21.599><c> talking</c><00:18:21.799><c> about</c><00:18:22.160><c> influence</c><00:18:22.680><c> peddling.</c>

00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:29.400
Yes,<00:18:25.839><c> influence</c><00:18:26.160><c> peddling</c><00:18:26.859><c> is</c><00:18:27.039><c> a</c><00:18:27.220><c> very</c><00:18:27.579><c> big</c><00:18:28.160><c> way</c><00:18:28.440><c> of</c><00:18:28.740><c> life</c><00:18:29.079><c> in</c>

00:18:30.579 --> 00:18:32.960
But<00:18:30.740><c> it</c><00:18:31.000><c> doesn't</c><00:18:31.259><c> work</c><00:18:31.640><c> with</c><00:18:31.980><c> God.</c>

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:35.980
Aren't<00:18:33.140><c> we</c><00:18:33.460><c> thankful</c><00:18:33.920><c> that</c><00:18:34.200><c> God</c><00:18:34.480><c> is</c><00:18:34.720><c> not</c><00:18:34.920><c> a</c><00:18:35.039><c> respecter</c><00:18:35.599><c> of</c><00:18:35.720><c> persons?</c>

That<00:18:36.180><c> if</c><00:18:36.279><c> you</c><00:18:36.500><c> will</c><00:18:36.619><c> try</c><00:18:36.859><c> to</c><00:18:37.000><c> do</c><00:18:37.119><c> what's</c><00:18:37.480><c> right,</c><00:18:38.160><c> he</c><00:18:38.500><c> will</c><00:18:38.940><c> love</c><00:18:39.299><c> you.</c>

Because<00:18:42.240><c> he</c><00:18:42.359><c> won't</c><00:18:42.640><c> force</c><00:18:43.019><c> anyone</c><00:18:43.559><c> to</c><00:18:44.099><c> follow</c><00:18:44.299><c> him</c><00:18:44.480><c> that</c><00:18:44.579><c> doesn't</c><00:18:44.900><c> want</c><00:18:45.259><c> to.</c>

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:22.299

00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:38.480
Now,<00:19:36.059><c> you</c><00:19:36.099><c> see,</c><00:19:36.579><c> Cornelius</c><00:19:37.000><c> was</c><00:19:37.279><c> not</c><00:19:37.559><c> ignorant.</c>

00:19:38.619 --> 00:19:44.440
He<00:19:39.140><c> did</c><00:19:39.559><c> know</c><00:19:40.460><c> the</c><00:19:40.740><c> truth</c><00:19:41.119><c> to</c><00:19:41.660><c> a</c><00:19:41.859><c> great</c><00:19:41.980><c> degree,</c><00:19:42.640><c> like</c><00:19:42.859><c> the</c><00:19:43.079><c> Ethiopian</c><00:19:43.640><c> eunuch</c><00:19:44.200><c> who</c>

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.960
We<00:19:52.640><c> have</c><00:19:52.880><c> so</c><00:19:53.079><c> much</c><00:19:53.339><c> of</c><00:19:53.619><c> an</c><00:19:53.819><c> advantage</c><00:19:54.440><c> over</c><00:19:55.059><c> some</c><00:19:55.299><c> of</c><00:19:55.440><c> these</c><00:19:55.660><c> early</c><00:19:56.039><c> believers</c><00:19:56.400><c> because</c><00:19:56.759><c> we</c>

00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.039
So<00:20:01.119><c> Cornelius</c><00:20:01.640><c> was</c><00:20:01.920><c> not</c><00:20:02.200><c> ignorant</c><00:20:02.559><c> of</c><00:20:02.759><c> God.</c>

00:20:03.099 --> 00:20:05.900
Now<00:20:03.299><c> when</c><00:20:03.420><c> we</c><00:20:03.599><c> go</c><00:20:03.799><c> to</c><00:20:03.960><c> some</c><00:20:04.099><c> of</c><00:20:04.220><c> these</c><00:20:04.400><c> countries,</c><00:20:05.319><c> when</c><00:20:05.460><c> Brother</c><00:20:05.640><c> Ron</c>

or<00:23:47.480><c> it</c><00:23:47.640><c> means</c><00:23:47.819><c> that</c><00:23:48.000><c> it's</c><00:23:48.180><c> still</c><00:23:48.440><c> future</c><00:23:48.880><c> and</c><00:23:49.140><c> that</c><00:23:49.279><c> you</c><00:23:49.400><c> can</c>

00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:51.039
be<00:23:49.759><c> in</c><00:23:49.920><c> on</c><00:23:50.059><c> it</c><00:23:50.160><c> if</c><00:23:50.319><c> you</c><00:23:50.539><c> want</c><00:23:50.700><c> to</c><00:23:50.920><c> be.</c>

00:23:51.099 --> 00:23:52.619
Would<00:23:51.240><c> you</c><00:23:51.400><c> like</c><00:23:51.579><c> to</c><00:23:51.759><c> be?</c>

00:23:52.980 --> 00:23:55.500
Oh,<00:23:53.279><c> well,</c><00:23:54.000><c> tell</c><00:23:54.180><c> me</c><00:23:54.299><c> a</c><00:23:54.359><c> little</c><00:23:54.460><c> bit</c><00:23:54.619><c> more.</c>

00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:56.799
You<00:23:55.799><c> see,</c><00:23:55.900><c> you're</c><00:23:56.059><c> not</c><00:23:56.279><c> fighting</c><00:23:56.619><c> them.</c>

00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:58.220
You're<00:23:56.980><c> not</c><00:23:57.140><c> arguing.</c><00:23:57.480><c> You're</c><00:23:57.619><c> not</c><00:23:57.720><c> putting</c><00:23:57.880><c> them</c><00:23:58.079><c> down.</c>

00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:03.160
You're<00:23:58.779><c> just</c><00:23:58.960><c> trying</c><00:23:59.180><c> to</c><00:24:00.259><c> get</c><00:24:00.579><c> them</c><00:24:00.859><c> interested</c><00:24:01.420><c> in</c><00:24:02.400><c> the</c><00:24:02.619><c> things</c><00:24:02.839><c> that</c>

00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:05.380
are<00:24:03.460><c> so</c><00:24:03.779><c> important</c><00:24:04.019><c> to</c><00:24:04.200><c> all</c><00:24:04.400><c> of</c><00:24:04.539><c> us.</c>

00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:11.519
Now,<00:24:08.099><c> the</c><00:24:08.319><c> world</c><00:24:08.640><c> talks</c><00:24:09.079><c> about</c><00:24:09.480><c> inferiority</c><00:24:10.259><c> complexes</c><00:24:10.759><c> and</c>

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:13.359
superiority<00:24:12.119><c> complexes,</c>

00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:17.400
and<00:24:13.940><c> these</c><00:24:14.119><c> are</c><00:24:14.599><c> both</c><00:24:14.880><c> erroneous</c><00:24:15.460><c> terms</c><00:24:15.859><c> because</c><00:24:16.539><c> you</c><00:24:17.140><c> are</c>

00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:21.619
not<00:24:17.819><c> superior</c><00:24:18.480><c> and</c><00:24:20.180><c> you're</c><00:24:20.400><c> not</c><00:24:20.640><c> inferior.</c>

00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:26.039
You<00:24:22.619><c> are</c><00:24:22.960><c> you,</c><00:24:24.200><c> and</c><00:24:24.359><c> God's</c><00:24:24.700><c> never</c><00:24:24.900><c> made</c><00:24:25.119><c> two</c><00:24:25.359><c> people</c><00:24:25.720><c> alike.</c>

00:24:26.099 --> 00:24:26.980
This<00:24:26.380><c> blows</c><00:24:26.559><c> me</c><00:24:26.799><c> away.</c>

00:24:27.059 --> 00:24:30.759
When<00:24:27.160><c> you</c><00:24:27.319><c> think</c><00:24:27.440><c> of</c><00:24:27.660><c> all</c><00:24:27.980><c> the</c><00:24:28.180><c> people</c><00:24:28.599><c> since</c><00:24:29.339><c> Adam</c><00:24:29.759><c> and</c><00:24:29.980><c> Eve,</c>

00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:35.779
I<00:24:32.579><c> don't</c><00:24:32.759><c> know</c><00:24:32.960><c> what</c><00:24:34.220><c> goes</c><00:24:34.519><c> after</c><00:24:34.779><c> trillions</c><00:24:35.220><c> and</c><00:24:35.440><c> all</c><00:24:35.559><c> that</c>

00:24:35.779 --> 00:24:36.980
kind<00:24:35.980><c> of</c><00:24:36.160><c> stuff,</c>

00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:43.000
but<00:24:37.380><c> there's</c><00:24:37.680><c> never</c><00:24:38.079><c> been</c><00:24:38.619><c> another</c><00:24:39.039><c> person</c><00:24:40.160><c> just</c><00:24:41.279><c> like</c><00:24:41.980><c> you,</c>

00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:45.500
and<00:24:44.779><c> you're</c><00:24:45.119><c> unique.</c>

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.859
Not<00:24:45.839><c> even</c><00:24:46.240><c> identical</c><00:24:46.680><c> twins</c><00:24:47.279><c> are</c><00:24:47.700><c> identical,</c>

00:24:49.259 --> 00:24:51.720
and<00:24:49.500><c> so</c><00:24:49.700><c> God</c><00:24:50.059><c> has</c><00:24:50.680><c> called</c><00:24:51.019><c> you,</c>

00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.980
and<00:24:52.299><c> he's</c><00:24:52.559><c> asking</c><00:24:52.920><c> you</c><00:24:53.299><c> to</c><00:24:53.559><c> now</c><00:24:53.940><c> do</c><00:24:54.380><c> what</c><00:24:54.720><c> you</c><00:24:55.140><c> can</c><00:24:55.539><c> do</c><00:24:55.960><c> for</c><00:24:56.380><c> him,</c>

00:24:56.980 --> 00:25:02.559
and<00:24:57.839><c> don't</c><00:24:58.420><c> say</c><00:24:58.759><c> that</c><00:24:59.019><c> you</c><00:24:59.180><c> can't</c><00:24:59.619><c> do</c><00:24:59.880><c> it</c><00:25:00.119><c> because</c><00:25:00.720><c> you</c><00:25:01.460><c> can.</c>

00:25:03.420 --> 00:25:06.039
And<00:25:03.619><c> you</c><00:25:03.740><c> say,</c><00:25:03.900><c> well,</c><00:25:04.039><c> I</c><00:25:04.160><c> don't</c><00:25:05.099><c> speak</c><00:25:05.700><c> good.</c>

00:25:06.140 --> 00:25:07.880
Well,<00:25:06.380><c> that's</c><00:25:06.579><c> all</c><00:25:06.779><c> right.</c><00:25:06.859><c> I</c><00:25:07.019><c> don't</c><00:25:07.259><c> know</c><00:25:07.480><c> a</c><00:25:07.700><c> lot.</c>

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:09.519
That's<00:25:08.400><c> all</c><00:25:08.599><c> right.</c><00:25:08.940><c> You</c><00:25:09.019><c> learn</c><00:25:09.279><c> more.</c>

00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:11.539
When<00:25:09.779><c> you</c><00:25:09.980><c> go</c><00:25:10.000><c> out</c><00:25:10.180><c> and</c><00:25:10.259><c> start</c><00:25:10.400><c> preaching,</c><00:25:10.819><c> you</c><00:25:11.039><c> learn</c><00:25:11.259><c> more</c>

00:25:11.539 --> 00:25:12.500
than<00:25:11.660><c> you</c><00:25:11.900><c> thought</c><00:25:12.079><c> you</c><00:25:12.319><c> would,</c>

00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:15.759
because<00:25:12.980><c> you'll</c><00:25:13.519><c> be</c><00:25:13.859><c> coming</c><00:25:14.319><c> up</c><00:25:14.539><c> against</c><00:25:14.799><c> questions</c><00:25:15.240><c> and</c><00:25:15.380><c> you'll</c><00:25:15.619><c> get</c>

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:16.180
the<00:25:16.019><c> answer,</c>

00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:18.559
and<00:25:16.339><c> the</c><00:25:16.380><c> next</c><00:25:16.539><c> time</c><00:25:16.700><c> you</c><00:25:16.799><c> know</c><00:25:17.019><c> the</c><00:25:17.200><c> answer</c><00:25:17.460><c> to</c><00:25:17.700><c> that.</c>

00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.140
So<00:25:19.220><c> we're</c><00:25:19.400><c> not</c><00:25:19.660><c> all</c><00:25:19.900><c> the</c><00:25:20.180><c> same.</c>

00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.339
All<00:25:21.420><c> the</c><00:25:21.640><c> apostles</c><00:25:22.099><c> were</c><00:25:22.380><c> different.</c>

00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:27.180
Peter<00:25:24.059><c> and</c><00:25:24.460><c> John</c><00:25:24.819><c> were</c><00:25:25.220><c> totally</c><00:25:25.539><c> different</c><00:25:26.019><c> personalities.</c>

00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:29.759
John<00:25:27.660><c> was</c><00:25:27.940><c> a</c><00:25:28.059><c> better</c><00:25:28.259><c> athlete</c><00:25:28.660><c> than</c><00:25:28.880><c> Peter.</c>

00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:32.200
How<00:25:30.059><c> do</c><00:25:30.200><c> we</c><00:25:30.279><c> know</c><00:25:30.440><c> that?</c><00:25:30.619><c> Well,</c><00:25:30.740><c> he</c><00:25:30.759><c> could</c><00:25:30.920><c> run</c><00:25:31.140><c> faster.</c>

00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:35.720
When<00:25:32.359><c> they</c><00:25:32.539><c> ran</c><00:25:32.720><c> to</c><00:25:32.900><c> the</c><00:25:33.059><c> tomb,</c><00:25:34.740><c> John</c><00:25:35.019><c> outran</c><00:25:35.440><c> Peter.</c>

00:25:35.859 --> 00:25:37.859
He<00:25:35.960><c> gets</c><00:25:36.140><c> to</c><00:25:36.299><c> the</c><00:25:36.440><c> tomb,</c><00:25:36.700><c> and</c><00:25:36.779><c> he's</c><00:25:36.960><c> looking</c><00:25:37.160><c> in.</c>

00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:40.380
Peter<00:25:38.440><c> coming</c><00:25:38.819><c> up,</c><00:25:39.299><c> huffing</c><00:25:39.720><c> and</c><00:25:39.799><c> puffing</c><00:25:40.079><c> behind,</c>

00:25:40.579 --> 00:25:42.079
but<00:25:40.740><c> when</c><00:25:40.900><c> he</c><00:25:41.000><c> gets</c><00:25:41.119><c> there,</c><00:25:41.220><c> he</c><00:25:41.299><c> goes</c><00:25:41.500><c> right</c><00:25:41.839><c> in,</c>

00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:43.920
and<00:25:42.440><c> then</c><00:25:42.579><c> John</c><00:25:42.680><c> says</c><00:25:42.859><c> he's</c><00:25:43.059><c> going,</c><00:25:43.200><c> and</c><00:25:43.319><c> then</c><00:25:43.440><c> he</c><00:25:43.579><c> goes</c><00:25:43.779><c> in.</c>

00:25:44.299 --> 00:25:46.059
One<00:25:44.579><c> is</c><00:25:44.819><c> far</c><00:25:45.039><c> more</c><00:25:45.319><c> impetuous.</c>

00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:47.740
One<00:25:46.579><c> is</c><00:25:46.779><c> a</c><00:25:46.900><c> better</c><00:25:47.099><c> athlete.</c>

00:25:47.900 --> 00:25:50.180
Certainly<00:25:48.299><c> when</c><00:25:48.480><c> you</c><00:25:48.740><c> read</c><00:25:48.960><c> their</c><00:25:49.220><c> letters,</c><00:25:49.660><c> you</c><00:25:49.660><c> can</c><00:25:49.940><c> see</c>

different<00:25:50.839><c> personalities.</c>

00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:53.920
All<00:25:52.000><c> of</c><00:25:52.279><c> us</c><00:25:52.539><c> are</c><00:25:52.839><c> different.</c>

00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:57.220
So<00:25:54.740><c> please</c><00:25:55.200><c> don't</c><00:25:55.460><c> think</c><00:25:55.579><c> I'm</c><00:25:55.799><c> trying</c><00:25:56.000><c> to</c><00:25:56.240><c> tell</c><00:25:56.460><c> you</c>

00:26:04.819 --> 00:26:06.759
That's<00:26:05.319><c> all</c><00:26:05.440><c> right.</c><00:26:05.519><c> I'm</c><00:26:05.700><c> not</c><00:26:05.880><c> asking</c><00:26:06.119><c> you</c><00:26:06.319><c> to</c><00:26:06.440><c> do</c><00:26:06.539><c> that.</c>

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:10.420
The<00:26:07.299><c> thing</c><00:26:07.500><c> is,</c><00:26:07.740><c> you</c><00:26:08.019><c> want</c><00:26:08.279><c> to</c><00:26:08.579><c> do</c><00:26:08.980><c> the</c><00:26:09.380><c> best</c><00:26:09.660><c> you</c><00:26:09.940><c> can</c>

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:17.720
So<00:26:14.640><c> I'm</c><00:26:15.799><c> going</c><00:26:15.980><c> to</c><00:26:16.400><c> ask</c><00:26:16.680><c> you</c><00:26:16.839><c> if</c><00:26:16.980><c> you</c><00:26:17.119><c> can</c><00:26:17.359><c> remember</c>

00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:35.839
Now<00:26:32.039><c> that</c><00:26:32.220><c> stands</c><00:26:32.640><c> for</c><00:26:33.160><c> doing</c><00:26:33.619><c> your</c><00:26:34.160><c> best</c><00:26:34.599><c> is</c><00:26:35.039><c> better</c><00:26:35.400><c> than</c>

00:26:40.859 --> 00:26:45.140
And<00:26:41.539><c> my</c><00:26:42.220><c> grandson</c><00:26:42.779><c> played</c><00:26:43.180><c> the</c><00:26:43.460><c> piano</c><00:26:43.759><c> last</c><00:26:44.180><c> night,</c>

00:26:46.099 --> 00:26:47.720

00:26:48.099 --> 00:26:50.440

00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:01.000
He's<00:26:58.539><c> not</c><00:26:58.779><c> the</c><00:26:58.960><c> greatest</c><00:26:59.240><c> pianist</c><00:26:59.660><c> in</c><00:26:59.839><c> the</c><00:27:00.000><c> world,</c>

00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:13.920
for<00:34:11.539><c> we</c><00:34:11.800><c> dare</c><00:34:11.940><c> not</c><00:34:12.340><c> make</c><00:34:12.800><c> ourselves</c><00:34:13.300><c> of</c><00:34:13.480><c> the</c><00:34:13.659><c> number</c>

00:34:22.860 --> 00:34:25.659
So<00:34:23.699><c> you</c><00:34:23.880><c> see,</c><00:34:23.980><c> if</c><00:34:24.159><c> I</c><00:34:24.340><c> compare</c><00:34:24.579><c> myself</c><00:34:25.000><c> to</c><00:34:25.179><c> Harry</c><00:34:25.440><c> Tennant,</c>

00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:31.039

00:34:38.300 --> 00:34:42.239
And<00:34:38.599><c> so</c><00:34:38.760><c> I</c><00:34:38.980><c> went</c><00:34:39.440><c> and</c><00:34:40.820><c> I</c><00:34:41.139><c> tried</c><00:34:41.360><c> really</c><00:34:41.880><c> hard.</c>

00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:44.000
I<00:34:42.860><c> don't</c><00:34:42.980><c> know</c><00:34:43.039><c> if</c><00:34:43.079><c> it</c><00:34:43.179><c> was</c><00:34:43.260><c> my</c><00:34:43.420><c> very</c><00:34:43.800><c> best,</c>

00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:45.400
but<00:34:44.159><c> I</c><00:34:44.420><c> really</c><00:34:44.719><c> tried</c><00:34:44.920><c> hard.</c>

00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:48.019

00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:49.639
Maybe<00:34:48.539><c> you</c><00:34:48.760><c> may</c><00:34:48.860><c> not</c><00:34:49.019><c> think</c><00:34:49.159><c> it's</c><00:34:49.320><c> my</c><00:34:49.500><c> best,</c>

00:34:53.420 --> 00:34:59.420
But<00:34:53.659><c> the</c><00:34:53.860><c> point</c><00:34:54.099><c> is</c><00:34:55.019><c> when</c><00:34:55.699><c> you're</c><00:34:56.039><c> asked</c><00:34:56.300><c> to</c><00:34:56.559><c> do</c><00:34:56.760><c> something</c><00:34:57.480><c> by</c><00:34:58.239><c> God,</c>

00:35:02.219 --> 00:35:04.300
And<00:35:02.400><c> he's</c><00:35:02.579><c> asking</c><00:35:02.940><c> you</c><00:35:03.239><c> to</c><00:35:03.500><c> preach.</c>

00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.400
That's<00:35:05.559><c> why</c><00:35:05.659><c> we</c><00:35:05.880><c> tell</c><00:35:06.079><c> you</c><00:35:06.239><c> these</c><00:35:06.480><c> stories.</c>

play<00:35:22.019><c> the</c><00:35:22.219><c> best</c><00:35:22.440><c> you</c><00:35:22.619><c> can.</c>

00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:24.559
If<00:35:23.360><c> you're</c><00:35:23.559><c> asked</c><00:35:23.619><c> to</c><00:35:23.679><c> teach</c><00:35:23.880><c> a</c><00:35:24.039><c> Sunday</c><00:35:24.159><c> school</c><00:35:24.360><c> class,</c>

00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:26.059
put<00:35:24.840><c> yourself</c><00:35:25.179><c> all</c><00:35:25.519><c> into</c><00:35:25.739><c> it.</c>

00:35:26.099 --> 00:35:28.579
Make<00:35:26.380><c> it</c><00:35:26.500><c> the</c><00:35:26.599><c> best</c><00:35:26.880><c> lesson</c><00:35:27.079><c> you</c><00:35:27.199><c> can</c><00:35:27.500><c> make.</c>

00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:30.980
Doing<00:35:29.199><c> your</c><00:35:29.599><c> best</c><00:35:29.800><c> is</c><00:35:30.019><c> better</c><00:35:30.239><c> than</c><00:35:30.360><c> being</c><00:35:30.619><c> the</c><00:35:30.840><c> best.</c>

00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:33.179
If<00:35:31.159><c> somebody</c><00:35:31.420><c> can</c><00:35:31.619><c> do</c><00:35:31.719><c> it</c><00:35:31.860><c> better</c><00:35:32.000><c> than</c><00:35:32.179><c> you,</c><00:35:32.440><c> that's</c><00:35:32.719><c> all</c><00:35:32.920><c> right.</c>

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:36.099
He<00:35:33.860><c> asks</c><00:35:34.000><c> you</c><00:35:34.179><c> to</c><00:35:34.360><c> do</c><00:35:34.460><c> it,</c><00:35:34.860><c> do</c><00:35:35.219><c> it.</c>

00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:38.019
And<00:35:36.639><c> so</c><00:35:36.699><c> that's</c><00:35:36.860><c> what</c><00:35:37.039><c> all</c><00:35:37.239><c> of</c><00:35:37.340><c> us</c><00:35:37.500><c> should</c><00:35:37.639><c> be</c><00:35:37.840><c> doing.</c>

00:35:38.099 --> 00:35:39.739
And<00:35:38.260><c> we</c><00:35:38.340><c> don't</c><00:35:38.559><c> compare</c><00:35:38.860><c> ourselves</c><00:35:39.219><c> to</c><00:35:39.380><c> each</c><00:35:39.559><c> other</c>

00:35:39.739 --> 00:35:41.639
because<00:35:40.000><c> you</c><00:35:40.139><c> can</c><00:35:40.320><c> always</c><00:35:40.539><c> find</c><00:35:40.800><c> somebody,</c>

00:35:42.139 --> 00:35:44.219
oh,<00:35:42.659><c> compared</c><00:35:42.860><c> to</c><00:35:43.099><c> them,</c><00:35:43.260><c> I'm</c><00:35:43.480><c> not</c><00:35:43.679><c> so</c><00:35:43.960><c> bad.</c>

00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:45.760
Oh,<00:35:44.920><c> look</c><00:35:45.219><c> at</c><00:35:45.440><c> that.</c>

00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.480
And<00:35:46.519><c> then</c><00:35:46.820><c> somebody,</c><00:35:47.300><c> oh,</c><00:35:47.519><c> I</c><00:35:47.639><c> can</c><00:35:47.860><c> never</c><00:35:48.079><c> do</c><00:35:48.239><c> what</c><00:35:48.440><c> they</c><00:35:48.739><c> do.</c>

00:35:49.539 --> 00:35:51.039
And<00:35:49.760><c> you'll</c><00:35:50.019><c> be</c><00:35:50.179><c> right</c><00:35:50.300><c> in</c><00:35:50.440><c> both</c><00:35:50.659><c> cases.</c>

00:35:51.139 --> 00:35:52.239
You're<00:35:51.360><c> not</c><00:35:51.539><c> so</c><00:35:51.780><c> bad</c><00:35:51.900><c> as</c><00:35:52.119><c> some.</c>

00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:53.059
You're<00:35:52.380><c> better</c><00:35:52.579><c> than</c><00:35:52.820><c> others.</c>

00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:57.039
But<00:35:53.639><c> the</c><00:35:53.860><c> point</c><00:35:54.000><c> is</c><00:35:54.199><c> God</c><00:35:54.440><c> is</c><00:35:54.639><c> not</c><00:35:54.920><c> going</c><00:35:55.099><c> to</c><00:35:55.280><c> judge</c><00:35:55.519><c> you</c><00:35:55.800><c> by</c><00:35:56.019><c> them.</c>

00:35:57.699 --> 00:36:00.159
He's<00:35:57.960><c> going</c><00:35:58.079><c> to</c><00:35:58.280><c> judge</c><00:35:58.480><c> you</c><00:35:58.719><c> by</c><00:35:58.960><c> what</c><00:35:59.239><c> you</c><00:35:59.539><c> did</c>

00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:03.880
with<00:36:00.820><c> what</c><00:36:01.019><c> you</c><00:36:01.320><c> had</c><00:36:01.880><c> where</c><00:36:02.679><c> you</c><00:36:02.940><c> were.</c>

00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:06.800
He<00:36:04.360><c> doesn't</c><00:36:04.780><c> compare</c><00:36:05.219><c> you</c><00:36:05.400><c> to</c><00:36:05.579><c> anyone</c><00:36:05.860><c> else.</c>

00:36:06.940 --> 00:36:09.420
So<00:36:06.940><c> much</c><00:36:07.579><c> is</c><00:36:07.820><c> given,</c><00:36:08.219><c> much</c><00:36:08.420><c> is</c><00:36:08.679><c> required.</c>

00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:11.360
Little<00:36:10.019><c> is</c><00:36:10.280><c> given,</c><00:36:10.739><c> little</c><00:36:10.940><c> is</c><00:36:11.179><c> required.</c>

00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:12.079
Because<00:36:11.599><c> Jesus</c><00:36:11.900><c> said,</c>

00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:17.139
For<00:36:12.199><c> whomsoever</c><00:36:13.099><c> much</c><00:36:13.579><c> is</c><00:36:14.000><c> given</c><00:36:14.260><c> of</c><00:36:14.559><c> him</c><00:36:14.739><c> shall</c><00:36:15.000><c> be</c><00:36:15.619><c> much</c><00:36:15.880><c> required.</c>

00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:18.780
And<00:36:17.559><c> then</c><00:36:17.780><c> in</c><00:36:18.059><c> one</c><00:36:18.239><c> of</c><00:36:18.320><c> his</c><00:36:18.500><c> parables,</c>

00:36:18.940 --> 00:36:23.539
he<00:36:19.219><c> gave</c><00:36:19.960><c> to</c><00:36:20.179><c> every</c><00:36:20.400><c> man</c><00:36:20.579><c> according</c><00:36:21.000><c> to</c><00:36:21.239><c> his</c><00:36:21.760><c> several</c><00:36:22.460><c> ability.</c>

00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:29.780
So<00:36:24.199><c> the</c><00:36:24.420><c> point</c><00:36:24.639><c> is</c><00:36:25.380><c> that</c><00:36:26.420><c> all</c><00:36:26.800><c> of</c><00:36:27.079><c> us</c><00:36:27.659><c> have</c><00:36:28.099><c> different</c><00:36:28.559><c> abilities.</c>

00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:33.559
And<00:36:31.019><c> we</c><00:36:31.179><c> have</c><00:36:31.320><c> different</c><00:36:31.579><c> ways</c><00:36:31.880><c> of</c><00:36:32.139><c> doing</c><00:36:32.400><c> things.</c>

00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:37.139
And<00:36:34.079><c> is</c><00:36:34.239><c> it</c><00:36:34.340><c> that</c><00:36:34.519><c> one</c><00:36:34.760><c> way</c><00:36:35.019><c> is</c><00:36:35.300><c> right</c><00:36:35.559><c> and</c><00:36:35.760><c> all</c><00:36:35.960><c> the</c><00:36:36.099><c> other</c><00:36:36.239><c> ways</c><00:36:36.440><c> are</c><00:36:36.739><c> wrong?</c>

00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:39.460
So<00:36:37.579><c> long</c><00:36:37.760><c> as</c><00:36:37.960><c> we're</c><00:36:38.159><c> keeping</c><00:36:38.400><c> the</c><00:36:38.699><c> truth</c><00:36:38.900><c> pure</c>

00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:44.219
and<00:36:39.860><c> our</c><00:36:40.199><c> motives</c><00:36:40.500><c> are</c><00:36:40.860><c> right,</c><00:36:41.380><c> just</c><00:36:41.619><c> go</c><00:36:41.840><c> out</c><00:36:42.039><c> and</c><00:36:42.260><c> do</c><00:36:42.420><c> the</c><00:36:42.639><c> best</c><00:36:42.920><c> you</c><00:36:43.119><c> can.</c>

00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:47.039
And<00:36:44.579><c> so,</c><00:36:45.300><c> yes,</c><00:36:45.619><c> go</c><00:36:45.840><c> out</c><00:36:45.980><c> and</c><00:36:46.179><c> preach.</c>

00:36:47.099 --> 00:36:49.619
And<00:36:47.099><c> if</c><00:36:47.780><c> they</c><00:36:47.960><c> ask</c><00:36:48.119><c> you</c><00:36:48.320><c> a</c><00:36:48.400><c> question</c><00:36:48.599><c> you</c><00:36:48.719><c> don't</c><00:36:48.940><c> know</c><00:36:49.079><c> the</c><00:36:49.179><c> answer</c><00:36:49.420><c> to,</c>

00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.440
say,<00:36:50.179><c> I</c><00:36:50.260><c> don't</c><00:36:50.539><c> know</c><00:36:50.760><c> that</c><00:36:51.019><c> one,</c><00:36:51.400><c> but</c><00:36:51.559><c> I'll</c><00:36:51.860><c> write</c><00:36:52.039><c> it</c><00:36:52.239><c> down.</c>

00:36:52.500 --> 00:36:55.639
I'll<00:36:52.639><c> go</c><00:36:52.780><c> ask</c><00:36:52.920><c> somebody</c><00:36:53.420><c> and</c><00:36:54.300><c> I'll</c><00:36:54.860><c> get</c><00:36:55.039><c> an</c><00:36:55.239><c> answer.</c>

00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:58.699
So<00:36:56.340><c> it's</c><00:36:56.539><c> important</c><00:36:56.860><c> that</c><00:36:57.039><c> we</c><00:36:57.239><c> try</c><00:36:57.420><c> to</c><00:36:57.579><c> get</c><00:36:57.719><c> answers</c>

00:36:58.820 --> 00:37:00.179
when<00:36:59.219><c> someone</c><00:36:59.539><c> asks</c><00:36:59.840><c> us</c><00:37:00.019><c> something.</c>

00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:02.019
And<00:37:00.400><c> when</c><00:37:00.460><c> you</c><00:37:01.179><c> find</c><00:37:01.420><c> out</c><00:37:01.599><c> that</c><00:37:01.840><c> way,</c>

00:37:02.219 --> 00:37:05.480
next<00:37:02.400><c> time</c><00:37:02.599><c> you</c><00:37:02.739><c> ask</c><00:37:02.900><c> that</c><00:37:03.099><c> question,</c><00:37:03.460><c> you</c><00:37:03.699><c> probably</c><00:37:04.159><c> know</c><00:37:04.480><c> that.</c>

00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:10.460
So<00:37:06.079><c> are</c><00:37:06.480><c> you</c><00:37:06.699><c> always</c><00:37:07.099><c> doing</c><00:37:07.420><c> your</c><00:37:07.719><c> best</c><00:37:08.320><c> for</c><00:37:09.320><c> the</c><00:37:09.480><c> Lord?</c>

00:37:12.099 --> 00:37:16.599
If<00:37:12.739><c> not,</c><00:37:15.119><c> why</c><00:37:15.380><c> not?</c>

00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:20.619
What's<00:37:18.559><c> over</c><00:37:18.679><c> your</c><00:37:18.900><c> hand,</c><00:37:19.159><c> find</c><00:37:19.340><c> it</c><00:37:19.500><c> to</c><00:37:19.760><c> do.</c>

00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:24.159
Do<00:37:21.380><c> it</c><00:37:21.579><c> with</c><00:37:21.980><c> all</c><00:37:22.699><c> your</c><00:37:23.119><c> might.</c>

00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:27.500
Do<00:37:25.340><c> it</c><00:37:26.019><c> for</c><00:37:26.360><c> the</c><00:37:26.559><c> Lord.</c>

00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:31.320
Doing<00:37:28.300><c> your</c><00:37:28.579><c> best</c><00:37:29.099><c> is</c><00:37:30.019><c> better</c><00:37:30.340><c> than</c><00:37:30.519><c> being</c><00:37:30.780><c> the</c><00:37:31.000><c> best.</c>

00:37:31.659 --> 00:37:33.900
With<00:37:31.880><c> a</c><00:37:32.019><c> little</c><00:37:32.119><c> group</c><00:37:32.360><c> of</c><00:37:32.559><c> Gentiles</c><00:37:33.000><c> now</c><00:37:33.380><c> sitting</c><00:37:33.599><c> around</c>

00:37:33.900 --> 00:37:36.659

00:38:38.500 --> 00:38:42.019

You<00:38:48.199><c> see,</c><00:38:48.880><c> that's</c><00:38:49.280><c> total</c><00:38:49.519><c> confusion.</c>

00:38:50.940 --> 00:38:54.440
But<00:38:51.099><c> when</c><00:38:51.300><c> you</c><00:38:51.460><c> realize</c><00:38:51.820><c> that</c><00:38:52.139><c> God</c><00:38:52.519><c> took</c><00:38:52.780><c> his</c><00:38:53.119><c> power</c><00:38:53.739><c> and</c><00:38:54.280><c> gave</c>

to<00:39:01.440><c> me.</c>

00:39:01.780 --> 00:39:05.840
How<00:39:02.119><c> God</c><00:39:02.659><c> took</c><00:39:03.139><c> the</c><00:39:04.059><c> third</c><00:39:04.280><c> God,</c><00:39:05.139><c> the</c><00:39:05.239><c> God</c><00:39:05.380><c> the</c><00:39:05.500><c> Father</c><00:39:05.659><c> took</c>

00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:06.599

00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:11.719
What<00:39:10.119><c> does</c><00:39:10.260><c> that</c><00:39:10.440><c> mean</c><00:39:10.579><c> to</c><00:39:10.760><c> you?</c>

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:13.460
They'll<00:39:12.239><c> say,</c><00:39:12.380><c> I</c><00:39:12.460><c> don't</c><00:39:12.679><c> know,</c><00:39:12.800><c> it's</c><00:39:12.980><c> a</c><00:39:13.099><c> mystery.</c>

00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:15.559
And<00:39:13.760><c> you'll</c><00:39:13.960><c> say,</c><00:39:14.179><c> it</c><00:39:14.239><c> sure</c><00:39:14.539><c> is.</c>

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:21.139
So<00:39:17.920><c> you</c><00:39:18.139><c> see,</c><00:39:18.659><c> just</c><00:39:18.739><c> little</c><00:39:18.980><c> verses</c><00:39:19.420><c> in</c><00:39:20.019><c> any</c><00:39:20.300><c> verse,</c>

It<00:39:24.980><c> says</c><00:39:25.139><c> that.</c>

00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:27.400
It's<00:39:26.119><c> a</c><00:39:26.420><c> terrible</c><00:39:26.760><c> false</c><00:39:27.119><c> belief.</c>

00:39:27.539 --> 00:39:30.320
And<00:39:27.599><c> yet</c><00:39:27.739><c> the</c><00:39:27.920><c> people</c><00:39:28.199><c> who</c><00:39:28.539><c> believe</c><00:39:28.659><c> it</c><00:39:29.059><c> are</c><00:39:29.480><c> so</c><00:39:29.800><c> sincere</c>

00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:32.280
and<00:39:30.599><c> they</c><00:39:30.840><c> literally</c><00:39:31.119><c> believe</c><00:39:31.440><c> that</c><00:39:31.599><c> if</c><00:39:31.719><c> you</c><00:39:31.880><c> don't</c><00:39:32.099><c> believe</c>

00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:32.780

00:39:37.300 --> 00:39:40.480
So<00:39:37.659><c> that's</c><00:39:38.000><c> how</c><00:39:38.300><c> strongly</c><00:39:38.599><c> they</c><00:39:39.079><c> believe</c><00:39:39.460><c> that.</c>

Oh,<00:41:24.900><c> it</c><00:41:24.980><c> was</c><00:41:25.219><c> wonderful.</c>

00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:28.340

So<00:42:13.559><c> Christian</c><00:42:14.119><c> experiences</c><00:42:14.900><c> don't</c><00:42:15.579><c> eliminate</c><00:42:16.239><c> you</c><00:42:16.659><c> from</c><00:42:16.920><c> doing</c><00:42:17.260><c> the</c>

So<00:42:45.340><c> you</c><00:42:45.539><c> see,</c><00:42:46.260><c> those</c><00:42:46.340><c> are</c><00:42:46.599><c> two</c><00:42:47.440><c> wonderful</c><00:42:48.239><c> examples</c><00:42:48.860><c> of</c>

00:42:49.099 --> 00:42:50.219
Christian<00:42:49.539><c> experiences</c>

00:42:50.219 --> 00:42:53.179
where<00:42:50.940><c> after</c><00:42:51.320><c> they</c><00:42:51.579><c> had</c><00:42:51.820><c> the</c><00:42:52.019><c> Christian</c><00:42:52.280><c> experience,</c><00:42:52.980><c> they</c>

00:42:53.179 --> 00:42:55.219
were<00:42:53.519><c> commanded</c><00:42:54.119><c> to</c><00:42:54.480><c> be</c><00:42:54.699><c> baptized.</c>

00:42:55.420 --> 00:42:59.340
It<00:42:55.679><c> wasn't</c><00:42:56.059><c> a</c><00:42:56.360><c> suggestion,</c><00:42:57.639><c> it</c><00:42:57.880><c> was</c><00:42:58.159><c> a</c><00:42:58.380><c> command.</c>

00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:03.260
And<00:43:00.079><c> we're</c><00:43:00.420><c> not</c><00:43:00.679><c> being</c><00:43:01.019><c> suggested</c><00:43:01.579><c> to</c><00:43:02.019><c> be</c><00:43:02.280><c> baptized</c><00:43:02.800><c> to</c><00:43:03.099><c> you.</c>

00:43:03.260 --> 00:43:05.900
What<00:43:03.500><c> we're</c><00:43:03.500><c> telling</c><00:43:03.719><c> you</c><00:43:04.000><c> has</c><00:43:04.460><c> to</c><00:43:04.760><c> be</c><00:43:04.980><c> done.</c>

00:43:06.280 --> 00:43:13.699
And<00:43:06.400><c> so</c><00:43:07.260><c> you</c><00:43:07.880><c> can</c><00:43:08.440><c> very</c><00:43:09.000><c> gently</c><00:43:09.559><c> show</c><00:43:11.280><c> how</c><00:43:12.380><c> their</c><00:43:12.780><c> Christian</c><00:43:13.039><c> experience,</c>

00:43:13.980 --> 00:43:19.019
whatever<00:43:14.159><c> it</c><00:43:14.360><c> was</c><00:43:14.480><c> they</c><00:43:14.699><c> saw,</c><00:43:15.519><c> would</c><00:43:15.679><c> not</c><00:43:15.880><c> eliminate</c><00:43:16.300><c> them</c><00:43:16.559><c> from</c><00:43:16.800><c> doing</c><00:43:16.980><c> what</c><00:43:17.280><c> they</c><00:43:17.659><c> should</c><00:43:17.860><c> be</c><00:43:18.159><c> doing.</c>

00:43:19.579 --> 00:43:24.539
So<00:43:19.760><c> there's</c><00:43:19.900><c> lots</c><00:43:20.139><c> of</c><00:43:20.380><c> wonderful</c><00:43:20.719><c> lessons</c><00:43:21.159><c> that</c><00:43:21.440><c> we</c><00:43:21.880><c> learn</c><00:43:22.360><c> when</c><00:43:23.440><c> we</c>

00:43:24.539 --> 00:43:28.019
look<00:43:24.820><c> at</c><00:43:25.260><c> the</c><00:43:26.699><c> example</c>

00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:32.840
of<00:43:29.599><c> Cornelius</c><00:43:30.320><c> and</c><00:43:30.719><c> his</c><00:43:30.960><c> conversion</c><00:43:31.500><c> by</c><00:43:31.900><c> Peter.</c>

00:43:33.420 --> 00:43:39.820
We<00:43:33.599><c> learn</c><00:43:33.780><c> that</c><00:43:33.960><c> God</c><00:43:34.420><c> does</c><00:43:35.079><c> hear</c><00:43:35.360><c> prayers</c><00:43:36.179><c> of</c><00:43:37.500><c> people</c><00:43:38.340><c> who</c><00:43:39.340><c> are</c>

00:43:39.820 --> 00:43:41.539
not<00:43:40.179><c> baptized.</c>

00:43:42.539 --> 00:43:46.039
We<00:43:42.880><c> don't</c><00:43:43.119><c> know</c><00:43:43.400><c> whose</c><00:43:43.719><c> prayers</c><00:43:44.199><c> he</c><00:43:44.679><c> listens</c><00:43:45.059><c> to</c><00:43:45.420><c> and</c><00:43:45.679><c> whose</c>

00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:47.900
prayers<00:43:46.639><c> he</c><00:43:47.380><c> doesn't,</c>

00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:51.460
and<00:43:48.320><c> we</c><00:43:48.980><c> don't</c><00:43:49.300><c> tell</c><00:43:49.599><c> God</c><00:43:49.940><c> which</c><00:43:50.260><c> prayers</c><00:43:50.619><c> to</c><00:43:50.860><c> listen</c><00:43:51.079><c> to.</c>

00:43:51.860 --> 00:43:54.440
That's<00:43:52.219><c> God's</c><00:43:52.679><c> choice.</c><00:43:52.960><c> We</c><00:43:53.079><c> have</c><00:43:53.260><c> to</c><00:43:53.380><c> be</c><00:43:53.619><c> careful</c><00:43:53.900><c> we</c><00:43:54.099><c> don't</c>

00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:55.119
play<00:43:54.679><c> God.</c>

00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:57.239
And<00:43:55.599><c> I</c><00:43:55.719><c> know</c><00:43:56.039><c> Christians</c><00:43:56.480><c> sometimes</c><00:43:56.980><c> will</c><00:43:57.159><c> say,</c>

00:43:57.400 --> 00:43:59.119
well,<00:43:57.440><c> you</c><00:43:57.519><c> know,</c><00:43:57.619><c> God</c><00:43:57.800><c> doesn't</c><00:43:58.019><c> hear</c><00:43:58.199><c> the</c><00:43:58.380><c> prayers</c><00:43:58.579><c> of</c><00:43:58.820><c> children,</c>

00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:02.000
or<00:43:59.340><c> God</c><00:43:59.460><c> doesn't</c><00:43:59.659><c> hear</c><00:43:59.760><c> the</c><00:43:59.980><c> prayers</c><00:44:00.219><c> of</c><00:44:01.119><c> unbaptized</c><00:44:01.719><c> people.</c>

00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:05.760
Well,<00:44:02.980><c> don't</c><00:44:03.260><c> tell</c><00:44:03.380><c> God</c><00:44:03.639><c> whose</c><00:44:03.860><c> prayers</c><00:44:04.119><c> he</c><00:44:04.300><c> will</c><00:44:04.480><c> listen</c><00:44:04.719><c> to.</c>

00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:09.800
He<00:44:06.320><c> doesn't</c><00:44:06.639><c> listen</c><00:44:06.900><c> to</c><00:44:07.139><c> all</c><00:44:07.320><c> prayers.</c><00:44:07.739><c> We</c><00:44:07.880><c> have</c><00:44:08.079><c> examples</c><00:44:08.500><c> of</c><00:44:08.780><c> that.</c>

00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:14.820
But<00:44:10.139><c> God</c><00:44:10.900><c> does</c><00:44:11.519><c> hear</c><00:44:12.039><c> the</c><00:44:12.420><c> prayers</c><00:44:12.760><c> of</c><00:44:13.159><c> unbaptized</c><00:44:14.320><c> people,</c>

00:44:15.099 --> 00:44:18.500
and<00:44:15.280><c> we</c><00:44:15.440><c> have</c><00:44:15.659><c> proof</c><00:44:15.900><c> of</c><00:44:16.079><c> it</c><00:44:16.239><c> in</c><00:44:16.420><c> Acts</c><00:44:16.760><c> chapter</c><00:44:17.199><c> 10.</c>

00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:21.800
And<00:44:18.840><c> we</c><00:44:19.079><c> learn</c><00:44:19.280><c> that</c><00:44:19.519><c> God</c><00:44:19.780><c> is</c><00:44:20.059><c> not</c><00:44:20.260><c> a</c><00:44:20.519><c> respecter</c><00:44:20.960><c> of</c><00:44:21.179><c> persons.</c>

00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:26.179

00:48:06.539 --> 00:48:08.860
because<00:48:06.860><c> we</c><00:48:07.059><c> have</c><00:48:07.179><c> the</c><00:48:07.400><c> truth,</c><00:48:07.659><c> you</c><00:48:07.739><c> know,</c><00:48:08.059><c> and</c><00:48:08.239><c> it's</c><00:48:08.780><c> a</c>

00:48:38.500 --> 00:48:44.980

00:48:46.440 --> 00:48:48.860
And<00:48:46.559><c> so</c><00:48:46.659><c> you</c><00:48:46.780><c> may</c><00:48:46.940><c> be</c><00:48:47.119><c> teaching</c><00:48:47.380><c> people</c><00:48:47.679><c> the</c><00:48:47.940><c> truth</c><00:48:48.139><c> with</c>

00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:21.380
It's<00:50:18.139><c> a</c><00:50:18.280><c> thrill</c><00:50:18.940><c> that</c><00:50:19.619><c> can't</c><00:50:19.860><c> be</c><00:50:20.139><c> described.</c>

00:50:21.699 --> 00:50:25.119
But<00:50:21.860><c> it</c><00:50:21.960><c> doesn't</c><00:50:22.320><c> happen</c><00:50:22.880><c> if</c><00:50:23.179><c> you're</c><00:50:23.380><c> not</c><00:50:23.579><c> out</c><00:50:23.840><c> there</c><00:50:24.639><c> sharing</c>

00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:27.380
your<00:50:25.739><c> hope</c><00:50:26.019><c> with</c><00:50:26.340><c> others.</c>

00:50:28.980 --> 00:50:35.840
The<00:50:29.179><c> harvest</c><00:50:29.780><c> truly</c><00:50:30.280><c> is</c><00:50:30.579><c> great,</c><00:50:32.519><c> but</c><00:50:32.760><c> the</c><00:50:32.980><c> laborers</c><00:50:34.239><c> are</c><00:50:34.900><c> few.</c>

00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:38.900
But<00:50:36.559><c> you're</c><00:50:36.760><c> one</c><00:50:37.039><c> of</c><00:50:37.199><c> them.</c><00:50:37.380><c> That's</c><00:50:37.960><c> the</c><00:50:38.079><c> good</c><00:50:38.260><c> news</c><00:50:38.519><c> is</c><00:50:38.679><c> you</c>

00:50:38.900 --> 00:50:41.559
are<00:50:39.239><c> one</c><00:50:39.519><c> of</c><00:50:39.679><c> God's</c><00:50:40.159><c> laborers.</c>

00:50:41.559 --> 00:50:44.719
So<00:50:41.960><c> how</c><00:50:42.980><c> does</c><00:50:43.239><c> the</c><00:50:43.500><c> prayer</c><00:50:43.639><c> go?</c>

00:50:45.059 --> 00:50:47.800
Pray<00:50:45.400><c> ye</c><00:50:45.599><c> therefore,</c><00:50:46.119><c> the</c><00:50:46.260><c> Lord</c><00:50:46.480><c> of</c><00:50:46.619><c> the</c><00:50:46.840><c> harvest,</c>

00:50:48.059 --> 00:50:52.699
that<00:50:48.179><c> he</c><00:50:48.300><c> would</c><00:50:48.539><c> send</c><00:50:48.760><c> forth</c><00:50:49.199><c> laborers</c><00:50:50.280><c> into</c><00:50:51.320><c> his</c><00:50:51.559><c> harvest.</c>

00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:58.639
That's<00:50:55.280><c> you.</c><00:50:57.019><c> That's</c><00:50:57.420><c> me.</c>

00:50:59.219 --> 00:51:03.519
Let's<00:50:59.519><c> say,</c><00:50:59.780><c> here</c><00:50:59.960><c> am</c><00:51:00.159><c> I.</c><00:51:01.980><c> Send</c><00:51:02.300><c> me.</c>

I<00:51:09.000><c> have</c><00:51:09.360><c> some</c><00:51:12.880><c> stick</c><00:51:13.119><c> tuits</c><00:51:13.360><c> up</c><00:51:13.579><c> here.</c>

00:51:13.820 --> 00:51:15.719
I<00:51:13.860><c> don't</c><00:51:14.059><c> think</c><00:51:14.199><c> there's</c><00:51:14.380><c> enough</c><00:51:14.559><c> for</c><00:51:14.739><c> everybody.</c>

00:51:16.260 --> 00:51:17.559
I'm<00:51:16.460><c> going</c><00:51:16.519><c> to</c><00:51:16.559><c> put</c><00:51:16.679><c> them</c><00:51:16.780><c> up</c><00:51:16.960><c> here.</c>

00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:20.780
And<00:51:18.039><c> you</c><00:51:18.119><c> see,</c><00:51:18.619><c> you</c><00:51:18.780><c> all</c><00:51:19.079><c> know</c><00:51:19.260><c> about</c><00:51:19.539><c> round</c><00:51:19.840><c> tuits.</c>

00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:24.380
And<00:51:22.079><c> again,</c><00:51:22.699><c> I</c><00:51:22.840><c> don't</c><00:51:23.000><c> have</c><00:51:23.179><c> enough</c><00:51:23.400><c> of</c><00:51:23.599><c> those.</c>

00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:26.820
But<00:51:25.119><c> a</c><00:51:25.179><c> round</c><00:51:25.360><c> tuit</c><00:51:25.500><c> means</c><00:51:25.820><c> you've</c><00:51:26.099><c> got</c><00:51:26.099><c> to</c><00:51:26.199><c> get</c><00:51:26.300><c> a</c><00:51:26.440><c> round</c><00:51:26.619><c> tuit</c>

and<00:51:26.900><c> seek</c><00:51:27.059><c> first</c><00:51:27.300><c> the</c><00:51:27.440><c> Kingdom</c><00:51:27.559><c> of</c><00:51:27.739><c> God.</c>

00:51:27.860 --> 00:51:30.380
I'm<00:51:27.980><c> not</c><00:51:28.239><c> giving</c><00:51:28.699><c> stick</c><00:51:28.900><c> tuits</c><00:51:29.119><c> to</c><00:51:29.340><c> the</c><00:51:29.460><c> kids</c><00:51:29.760><c> because</c><00:51:30.199><c> they</c>

00:51:30.380 --> 00:51:33.280
haven't<00:51:30.800><c> gotten</c><00:51:31.019><c> around</c><00:51:31.300><c> to</c><00:51:31.440><c> it</c><00:51:31.579><c> yet.</c>

00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:41.940
Once<00:51:39.179><c> you're</c><00:51:39.519><c> baptized,</c><00:51:40.039><c> now</c><00:51:40.219><c> you</c><00:51:40.320><c> need</c><00:51:40.480><c> a</c><00:51:40.639><c> stick</c><00:51:40.800><c> tuit.</c>

00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:44.099
And<00:51:42.260><c> so</c><00:51:42.360><c> the</c><00:51:42.599><c> stick</c><00:51:42.840><c> tuit,</c><00:51:43.239><c> it's</c><00:51:43.380><c> a</c><00:51:43.460><c> piece</c><00:51:43.599><c> of</c><00:51:43.880><c> wood.</c>

00:51:44.179 --> 00:51:46.380
It<00:51:44.340><c> says</c><00:51:44.559><c> it's</c><00:51:44.820><c> a</c><00:51:44.900><c> tuit,</c><00:51:45.179><c> so</c><00:51:45.280><c> it's</c><00:51:45.500><c> a</c><00:51:45.619><c> stick</c><00:51:45.800><c> tuit.</c>

00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:49.300
And<00:51:46.980><c> it</c><00:51:47.159><c> says,</c><00:51:47.519><c> be</c><00:51:47.539><c> steadfast,</c><00:51:48.260><c> immovable,</c><00:51:48.679><c> always</c><00:51:49.019><c> abound</c>

00:51:50.820 --> 00:51:53.179
So<00:51:51.179><c> any</c><00:51:51.480><c> of</c><00:51:51.639><c> you</c><00:51:51.760><c> who</c><00:51:51.920><c> want</c><00:51:52.099><c> one</c><00:51:52.300><c> of</c><00:51:52.420><c> these,</c><00:51:52.579><c> just</c><00:51:52.719><c> come</c><00:51:52.860><c> up</c><00:51:53.019><c> and</c>

00:51:53.179 --> 00:51:53.760
take<00:51:53.400><c> one.</c>

00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:57.699
If<00:51:54.480><c> you</c><00:51:54.719><c> have</c><00:51:55.039><c> some</c><00:51:55.260><c> already,</c><00:51:55.840><c> don't</c><00:51:56.559><c> take</c><00:51:56.860><c> some</c><00:51:57.079><c> more</c><00:51:57.199><c> because</c><00:51:57.340><c> there's</c><00:51:57.579><c> not</c>

00:51:57.699 --> 00:51:58.400
enough<00:51:57.920><c> for</c><00:51:58.119><c> everybody.</c>

00:51:58.900 --> 00:52:02.500
But<00:51:59.420><c> we</c><00:51:59.940><c> do</c><00:52:00.219><c> need</c><00:52:00.679><c> to</c><00:52:01.280><c> get</c><00:52:01.420><c> around</c><00:52:01.679><c> to</c><00:52:01.820><c> it</c><00:52:01.920><c> and</c><00:52:02.000><c> seek</c><00:52:02.159><c> first</c><00:52:02.400><c> the</c>

Kingdom<00:52:02.659><c> of</c><00:52:02.860><c> God.</c>

00:52:03.500 --> 00:52:10.300
And<00:52:03.760><c> then</c><00:52:03.960><c> we</c><00:52:04.260><c> do</c><00:52:04.880><c> need</c><00:52:05.360><c> to</c><00:52:05.619><c> keep</c><00:52:05.820><c> on</c><00:52:06.719><c> keeping</c><00:52:07.019><c> on</c><00:52:07.820><c> by</c><00:52:08.320><c> doing</c><00:52:08.719><c> what</c><00:52:09.139><c> you've</c><00:52:09.519><c> committed</c><00:52:09.739><c> yourself</c><00:52:10.119><c> to</c>

00:52:15.099 --> 00:52:16.800
Somebody's<00:52:15.500><c> answering</c><00:52:15.679><c> their</c><00:52:15.900><c> phone?</c>

00:52:19.019 --> 00:52:21.300
We<00:52:19.480><c> had</c><00:52:19.679><c> that</c><00:52:19.840><c> trouble</c><00:52:20.099><c> at</c><00:52:20.280><c> Idlewild.</c>

00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:24.039
Every<00:52:22.440><c> day,</c><00:52:22.820><c> somebody's</c><00:52:23.159><c> phone</c><00:52:23.380><c> would</c><00:52:23.559><c> go</c><00:52:23.760><c> off.</c>

00:52:24.300 --> 00:52:26.599
And<00:52:24.320><c> finally,</c><00:52:25.300><c> Jeff</c><00:52:25.400><c> General</c><00:52:25.679><c> got</c><00:52:25.860><c> up</c><00:52:25.980><c> and</c><00:52:26.059><c> he</c><00:52:26.159><c> says,</c><00:52:26.300><c> look</c><00:52:26.440><c> at</c>

00:52:27.500 --> 00:52:30.739
He<00:52:27.699><c> says,</c><00:52:27.840><c> there's</c><00:52:28.019><c> a</c><00:52:28.139><c> little</c><00:52:28.260><c> button</c><00:52:28.480><c> that</c><00:52:28.760><c> says,</c><00:52:30.239><c> off.</c>

00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:41.199
So<00:52:36.079><c> anyway,</c><00:52:39.099><c> they</c><00:52:39.260><c> haven't</c><00:52:39.420><c> found</c><00:52:39.659><c> the</c><00:52:39.920><c> button</c><00:52:40.099><c> yet.</c>

00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:45.420
These<00:52:42.960><c> are</c><00:52:43.199><c> here</c><00:52:43.340><c> for</c><00:52:43.519><c> the</c><00:52:43.719><c> taking</c><00:52:43.920><c> if</c><00:52:44.099><c> you</c><00:52:44.300><c> want</c><00:52:44.480><c> them.</c>
