00:12:20.809 --> 00:12:25.929
where<00:12:21.169><c> Saul</c><00:12:21.649><c> of</c><00:12:21.950><c> Tarsus</c><00:12:22.409><c> came</c><00:12:22.710><c> from,</c><00:12:23.029><c> a</c><00:12:23.169><c> city,</c><00:12:24.169><c> he</c><00:12:24.169><c> says,</c><00:12:24.350><c> in</c><00:12:24.870><c> Cilicia.</c>

Then<00:12:33.090><c> there</c><00:12:33.389><c> arose</c><00:12:33.750><c> certain</c><00:12:34.029><c> of</c><00:12:34.250><c> the</c><00:12:34.470><c> synagogue,</c><00:12:34.970><c> which</c><00:12:35.049><c> is</c>

00:12:50.730 --> 00:12:56.529
I<00:12:51.250><c> guess</c><00:12:51.769><c> that</c><00:12:52.490><c> among</c><00:12:52.789><c> those</c><00:12:53.169><c> from</c><00:12:53.629><c> Cilicia,</c><00:12:55.570><c> Saul</c><00:12:55.730><c> would</c><00:12:55.970><c> have</c><00:12:56.149><c> been</c><00:12:56.289><c> one</c>

00:13:05.070 --> 00:13:10.789

Of<00:28:58.230><c> course</c><00:28:58.569><c> Christ</c><00:28:58.930><c> had</c><00:28:59.269><c> forgiven</c><00:28:59.549><c> him.</c>

00:28:59.910 --> 00:29:04.089
He<00:29:00.410><c> delighted</c><00:29:01.430><c> in</c><00:29:01.970><c> the</c><00:29:02.109><c> fact</c><00:29:02.289><c> that</c><00:29:02.529><c> Jesus</c><00:29:03.069><c> Christ</c><00:29:03.470><c> came</c><00:29:03.809><c> into</c>

00:29:09.150 --> 00:29:13.890
But<00:29:09.410><c> he</c><00:29:09.710><c> still</c><00:29:10.230><c> kept</c><00:29:10.910><c> his</c><00:29:11.190><c> feet</c><00:29:11.369><c> on</c><00:29:11.630><c> the</c><00:29:11.829><c> earth</c><00:29:12.569><c> and</c><00:29:13.430><c> realized</c>

00:29:25.029 --> 00:29:28.369
Oh<00:29:25.029><c> wretched</c><00:29:25.470><c> man</c><00:29:25.910><c> that</c><00:29:26.170><c> I</c><00:29:26.410><c> am,</c><00:29:26.769><c> who</c><00:29:27.069><c> shall</c><00:29:27.410><c> deliver</c><00:29:27.890><c> me</c><00:29:28.210><c> from</c>

00:29:30.089 --> 00:29:35.809
I<00:29:30.569><c> thank</c><00:29:31.029><c> God</c><00:29:31.829><c> through</c><00:29:32.329><c> Jesus</c><00:29:32.970><c> Christ,</c><00:29:34.549><c> our</c><00:29:34.769><c> Lord.</c>

00:29:37.029 --> 00:29:41.970
So<00:29:37.349><c> I</c><00:29:37.529><c> suggest</c><00:29:37.970><c> to</c><00:29:38.170><c> you</c><00:29:38.430><c> that</c><00:29:38.730><c> it's</c><00:29:39.309><c> a</c><00:29:39.390><c> healthy</c><00:29:39.829><c> exercise</c><00:29:40.609><c> sometimes</c><00:29:41.349><c> to</c>

00:29:46.190 --> 00:29:47.349
and<00:29:46.829><c> forgotten.</c>

00:29:47.349 --> 00:29:51.289
I<00:29:48.529><c> will</c><00:29:48.789><c> cast</c><00:29:48.950><c> all</c><00:29:49.289><c> their</c><00:29:49.549><c> sins</c><00:29:49.869><c> into</c><00:29:50.190><c> the</c><00:29:50.369><c> depths</c><00:29:50.569><c> of</c><00:29:50.809><c> the</c><00:29:50.990><c> sea,</c><00:29:51.170><c> the</c>

00:29:51.289 --> 00:29:52.470
Lord<00:29:51.569><c> says.</c>

00:29:53.549 --> 00:29:57.430
But<00:29:53.750><c> we</c><00:29:54.029><c> still</c><00:29:54.410><c> ought</c><00:29:54.650><c> to</c><00:29:55.529><c> remind</c><00:29:56.029><c> ourselves</c><00:29:56.609><c> occasionally</c>

00:29:57.430 --> 00:30:02.470
of<00:29:58.630><c> what</c><00:29:58.829><c> we've</c><00:29:59.089><c> done</c><00:29:59.390><c> and</c><00:29:59.549><c> what</c><00:29:59.710><c> we</c><00:30:00.049><c> could</c><00:30:00.289><c> be</c><00:30:01.009><c> without</c><00:30:02.190><c> the</c>

00:30:02.470 --> 00:30:05.990

00:30:07.769 --> 00:30:12.430
And<00:30:07.910><c> that</c><00:30:08.049><c> I</c><00:30:08.150><c> think</c><00:30:08.289><c> is</c><00:30:08.569><c> the</c><00:30:08.670><c> first</c><00:30:08.829><c> lesson</c><00:30:09.150><c> I</c><00:30:09.490><c> draw</c><00:30:09.849><c> from</c><00:30:10.369><c> these</c><00:30:10.750><c> experiences</c><00:30:11.609><c> of</c>

Saul<00:30:12.670><c> of</c><00:30:12.970><c> Tarsus.</c>

00:30:14.710 --> 00:30:18.009
And<00:30:15.369><c> I</c><00:30:15.490><c> think</c><00:30:15.630><c> it's</c><00:30:15.869><c> an</c><00:30:16.109><c> important</c><00:30:16.490><c> one.</c>

00:30:19.809 --> 00:30:27.170
We<00:30:19.950><c> are</c><00:30:20.329><c> poor</c><00:30:21.390><c> human</c><00:30:22.210><c> beings</c><00:30:22.910><c> and</c><00:30:24.630><c> we</c><00:30:24.930><c> need</c><00:30:25.309><c> the</c><00:30:25.569><c> grace</c><00:30:25.869><c> of</c><00:30:26.170><c> God.</c>

00:30:27.470 --> 00:30:31.549
If<00:30:27.690><c> Paul</c><00:30:27.970><c> needed</c><00:30:28.309><c> it,</c><00:30:29.210><c> I</c><00:30:29.589><c> need</c><00:30:29.869><c> it</c><00:30:30.130><c> so</c><00:30:30.309><c> much</c><00:30:30.589><c> more.</c>

00:30:31.869 --> 00:30:37.049
And<00:30:32.029><c> yet</c><00:30:32.150><c> when</c><00:30:32.349><c> we</c><00:30:32.569><c> say</c><00:30:32.710><c> our</c><00:30:33.029><c> prayers,</c><00:30:34.390><c> I</c><00:30:34.529><c> wonder</c><00:30:34.950><c> what</c><00:30:36.089><c> we</c><00:30:36.450><c> think</c><00:30:36.849><c> of.</c>

00:30:37.049 --> 00:30:44.329
I<00:30:37.710><c> had</c><00:30:38.269><c> a,</c><00:30:38.869><c> not</c><00:30:39.269><c> a</c><00:30:39.509><c> vision,</c><00:30:39.890><c> I</c><00:30:39.970><c> don't</c><00:30:40.269><c> have</c><00:30:40.549><c> visions,</c><00:30:41.410><c> but</c><00:30:41.410><c> my</c><00:30:42.170><c> imagination</c><00:30:42.930><c> said</c><00:30:43.210><c> to</c><00:30:43.450><c> me</c><00:30:43.569><c> one</c><00:30:43.849><c> night</c><00:30:44.049><c> when</c><00:30:44.210><c> I</c>

00:30:44.329 --> 00:30:45.269
was<00:30:44.549><c> saying</c><00:30:44.670><c> my</c><00:30:45.049><c> prayers</c>

00:30:45.269 --> 00:30:48.289
and<00:30:45.430><c> I'd</c><00:30:45.630><c> been</c><00:30:45.789><c> saying,</c><00:30:46.509><c> please</c><00:30:47.009><c> Lord</c><00:30:47.269><c> forgive</c><00:30:47.630><c> my</c><00:30:48.069><c> sins.</c>

00:30:48.410 --> 00:30:53.309
I<00:30:48.589><c> imagine</c><00:30:48.910><c> the</c><00:30:49.109><c> Lord</c><00:30:49.289><c> said</c><00:30:49.549><c> to</c><00:30:49.789><c> me,</c><00:30:50.690><c> what</c><00:30:50.910><c> sins</c><00:30:51.309><c> do</c><00:30:51.529><c> you</c><00:30:51.710><c> mean</c><00:30:52.029><c> particularly?</c>

00:30:56.069 --> 00:30:57.849
What<00:30:56.529><c> do</c><00:30:56.750><c> you</c><00:30:56.970><c> mean?</c>

00:30:59.549 --> 00:31:02.130
When<00:30:59.990><c> you</c><00:31:00.210><c> pray</c><00:31:00.450><c> for</c><00:31:00.650><c> the</c><00:31:00.890><c> forgiveness</c><00:31:01.250><c> of</c><00:31:01.490><c> your</c><00:31:01.670><c> sins,</c><00:31:01.970><c> well</c>

00:31:02.130 --> 00:31:05.990
I<00:31:02.329><c> did</c><00:31:02.890><c> speak</c><00:31:03.170><c> a</c><00:31:03.210><c> bit</c><00:31:03.450><c> sharp</c><00:31:03.750><c> to</c><00:31:03.930><c> the</c><00:31:04.049><c> wife</c><00:31:04.309><c> yesterday,</c><00:31:05.109><c> you</c><00:31:05.109><c> know.</c>

00:31:06.150 --> 00:31:08.349
That's<00:31:06.630><c> not</c><00:31:06.769><c> all</c><00:31:07.049><c> is</c><00:31:07.289><c> it?</c>

00:31:09.089 --> 00:31:11.329
What<00:31:09.250><c> about</c><00:31:09.470><c> the</c><00:31:09.690><c> sins</c><00:31:09.930><c> of</c><00:31:10.210><c> omission?</c>

00:31:11.869 --> 00:31:14.730
They're<00:31:12.130><c> probably</c><00:31:12.490><c> the</c><00:31:12.750><c> worst</c><00:31:13.009><c> of</c><00:31:13.210><c> all</c><00:31:13.470><c> our</c><00:31:13.730><c> sins.</c>

00:31:15.670 --> 00:31:18.549
To<00:31:15.710><c> him</c><00:31:15.910><c> that</c><00:31:16.210><c> knoweth</c><00:31:16.529><c> to</c><00:31:16.690><c> do</c><00:31:16.890><c> good</c><00:31:17.230><c> and</c><00:31:17.490><c> doeth</c><00:31:17.769><c> it</c><00:31:18.069><c> not,</c><00:31:18.390><c> to</c>
