Now<00:08:06.980><c> Jesus</c><00:08:07.300><c> is</c><00:08:07.560><c> telling</c><00:08:07.699><c> them</c><00:08:07.839><c> what</c><00:08:07.980><c> that</c><00:08:08.240><c> involves.</c>

00:08:18.259 --> 00:08:21.519
And<00:08:18.519><c> so</c><00:08:18.800><c> when</c><00:08:19.000><c> we</c><00:08:19.240><c> come</c><00:08:19.420><c> to</c><00:08:19.660><c> read</c><00:08:19.879><c> through</c><00:08:20.240><c> the</c><00:08:20.800><c> Acts</c><00:08:21.100><c> of</c><00:08:21.339><c> the</c>

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:09.119
It's<00:21:05.220><c> a</c><00:21:05.339><c> hymn</c><00:21:05.460><c> which</c><00:21:05.779><c> reflects</c><00:21:06.440><c> the</c><00:21:06.720><c> fact</c><00:21:06.900><c> that</c><00:21:07.500><c> when</c><00:21:07.880><c> God</c><00:21:08.160><c> needs</c><00:21:08.519><c> a</c><00:21:08.740><c> man,</c>

where<00:26:45.700><c> they</c><00:26:45.900><c> are</c><00:26:46.059><c> going</c><00:26:46.200><c> to</c><00:26:46.539><c> find</c><00:26:47.240><c> unknown</c><00:26:48.279><c> troubles</c><00:26:48.900><c> and</c><00:26:49.700><c> problems.</c>

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:53.819
And<00:26:50.920><c> so</c><00:26:51.019><c> as</c><00:26:51.160><c> you</c><00:26:51.279><c> look</c><00:26:51.460><c> down</c><00:26:51.700><c> this</c><00:26:51.960><c> list</c><00:26:52.259><c> of</c><00:26:53.440><c> events</c>

00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:59.299
that<00:26:56.700><c> the</c><00:26:57.480><c> young</c><00:26:57.660><c> man</c><00:26:57.940><c> Timothy</c><00:26:58.259><c> is</c><00:26:58.599><c> called</c><00:26:58.819><c> into</c>

00:27:01.500 --> 00:27:03.140
And<00:27:01.619><c> then</c><00:27:01.980><c> having</c><00:27:02.140><c> got</c><00:27:02.380><c> to</c><00:27:02.559><c> Thessalonica</c>

00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:08.839
Paul<00:27:07.420><c> goes,</c><00:27:07.799><c> but</c><00:27:07.859><c> he</c><00:27:08.079><c> leaves</c><00:27:08.279><c> behind.</c>

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:10.420
Who<00:27:09.180><c> does</c><00:27:09.380><c> he</c><00:27:09.519><c> leave</c><00:27:09.579><c> behind?</c><00:27:09.819><c> He</c><00:27:09.859><c> leaves</c><00:27:10.079><c> Timothy.</c>

00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:12.359
Now<00:27:10.920><c> Timothy's</c><00:27:11.339><c> got</c><00:27:11.480><c> some</c><00:27:11.740><c> experience,</c><00:27:12.279><c> you</c><00:27:12.299><c> see.</c>

00:27:12.380 --> 00:27:13.319
He<00:27:12.420><c> knows</c><00:27:12.640><c> what</c><00:27:12.799><c> to</c><00:27:13.039><c> tell</c><00:27:13.140><c> them.</c>

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:14.920
This<00:27:13.640><c> is</c><00:27:13.740><c> what</c><00:27:13.880><c> they</c><00:27:14.099><c> said</c><00:27:14.240><c> in</c><00:27:14.460><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:27:15.220 --> 00:27:16.380
He's<00:27:15.460><c> got</c><00:27:15.640><c> some</c><00:27:15.900><c> experience</c>

00:27:16.380 --> 00:27:18.319
because<00:27:16.619><c> he's</c><00:27:16.880><c> already</c><00:27:17.180><c> accepted</c><00:27:17.539><c> the</c><00:27:17.720><c> gospel</c><00:27:17.940><c> himself</c>

00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.000
so<00:27:18.640><c> he</c><00:27:18.759><c> can</c><00:27:19.019><c> confirm</c><00:27:19.400><c> the</c><00:27:19.680><c> doctrines</c><00:27:20.059><c> which</c><00:27:20.240><c> are</c><00:27:20.460><c> important</c>

00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:24.119
and<00:27:21.500><c> he</c><00:27:21.680><c> can</c><00:27:21.839><c> help</c><00:27:22.119><c> establish</c><00:27:22.680><c> the</c><00:27:23.059><c> brethren</c><00:27:23.240><c> and</c><00:27:23.480><c> sisters</c><00:27:23.759><c> there.</c>

00:27:24.500 --> 00:27:26.740
And<00:27:24.660><c> the</c><00:27:24.779><c> same</c><00:27:24.940><c> thing</c><00:27:25.140><c> happens</c><00:27:25.500><c> in</c><00:27:25.859><c> Berea.</c>

00:27:27.099 --> 00:27:29.960
Paul<00:27:27.279><c> moves</c><00:27:27.599><c> on</c><00:27:27.900><c> but</c><00:27:28.180><c> he</c><00:27:28.420><c> leaves</c><00:27:28.700><c> behind.</c>

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:32.279
And<00:27:30.460><c> so</c><00:27:30.599><c> we</c><00:27:30.740><c> have</c><00:27:30.900><c> a</c><00:27:31.119><c> pattern</c><00:27:31.359><c> being</c><00:27:31.619><c> established</c><00:27:32.079><c> here,</c>

00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:32.880

00:27:33.099 --> 00:27:35.200
It's<00:27:33.339><c> a</c><00:27:33.500><c> pattern</c><00:27:33.740><c> which</c><00:27:33.960><c> we</c><00:27:34.200><c> do</c><00:27:34.380><c> well</c><00:27:34.640><c> to</c><00:27:34.900><c> notice</c>

00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:37.359

00:27:37.859 --> 00:27:42.240
That<00:27:38.299><c> young</c><00:27:38.720><c> brethren</c><00:27:39.160><c> are</c><00:27:39.900><c> and</c><00:27:40.160><c> must</c><00:27:40.440><c> be</c><00:27:40.720><c> put</c><00:27:40.859><c> to</c><00:27:41.079><c> work.</c>

00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:43.940
But<00:27:42.440><c> they're</c><00:27:42.599><c> not</c><00:27:42.759><c> just</c><00:27:43.220><c> sent</c><00:27:43.519><c> off</c>

00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:49.460
But<00:27:47.700><c> the</c><00:27:47.900><c> young</c><00:27:48.180><c> and</c><00:27:48.599><c> the</c><00:27:48.779><c> not</c><00:27:48.980><c> so</c><00:27:49.200><c> young</c>

00:27:52.420 --> 00:27:54.880
It<00:27:52.519><c> isn't</c><00:27:52.660><c> a</c><00:27:52.880><c> question</c><00:27:53.140><c> of</c><00:27:53.680><c> the</c><00:27:53.940><c> young</c><00:27:54.079><c> having</c><00:27:54.299><c> all</c><00:27:54.539><c> the</c><00:27:54.680><c> energy</c>

00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:09.740
That's<00:28:08.079><c> not</c><00:28:08.359><c> how</c><00:28:08.539><c> life</c><00:28:08.799><c> is.</c>

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:18.440
The<00:28:14.380><c> one</c><00:28:14.720><c> growing,</c><00:28:16.539><c> the</c><00:28:16.640><c> one</c><00:28:17.319><c> becoming</c><00:28:17.900><c> strong</c>

It<00:46:45.300><c> isn't</c><00:46:45.619><c> that</c><00:46:45.860><c> at</c><00:46:46.119><c> all.</c>

00:47:20.579 --> 00:47:21.219
And<00:47:20.619><c> I</c><00:47:20.719><c> say,</c><00:47:20.900><c> no,</c><00:47:20.940><c> it's</c><00:47:21.000><c> all</c><00:47:21.119><c> right.</c>

00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:21.599
Come<00:47:21.400><c> in.</c>

00:47:21.699 --> 00:47:22.920
It's<00:47:21.860><c> just</c><00:47:22.019><c> a</c><00:47:22.159><c> Bible.</c>

00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:24.420
It<00:47:23.239><c> won't</c><00:47:23.420><c> hurt.</c>

00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:26.039
It<00:47:24.920><c> doesn't</c><00:47:25.199><c> bite.</c>

00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:26.980
It's<00:47:26.360><c> quite</c><00:47:26.480><c> all</c><00:47:26.659><c> right.</c>

00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:28.460
It's<00:47:27.320><c> in</c><00:47:27.420><c> English.</c>

00:47:28.820 --> 00:47:29.440
Sit<00:47:29.099><c> down.</c>

00:47:29.780 --> 00:47:30.440
What's<00:47:30.000><c> your</c><00:47:30.119><c> problem?</c>

00:47:30.780 --> 00:47:32.119
And<00:47:30.900><c> it's</c><00:47:31.019><c> got</c><00:47:31.099><c> nothing</c><00:47:31.239><c> to</c><00:47:31.380><c> do</c><00:47:31.480><c> with</c><00:47:31.500><c> reading</c><00:47:31.699><c> the</c><00:47:31.880><c> Bible,</c>

00:47:32.139 --> 00:47:35.219
but<00:47:32.280><c> I</c><00:47:32.420><c> just</c><00:47:32.559><c> put</c><00:47:32.659><c> the</c><00:47:32.820><c> Bible</c><00:47:33.000><c> down</c><00:47:33.360><c> and</c><00:47:33.820><c> carry</c><00:47:33.940><c> on</c><00:47:34.119><c> our</c><00:47:34.219><c> discussion.</c>

00:47:35.619 --> 00:47:38.960
But<00:47:35.739><c> you</c><00:47:35.860><c> see,</c><00:47:35.980><c> if</c><00:47:36.119><c> you</c><00:47:36.320><c> don't</c><00:47:36.539><c> make</c><00:47:36.699><c> reading</c><00:47:36.960><c> the</c><00:47:37.139><c> Bible</c><00:47:37.400><c> seem</c><00:47:37.739><c> normal,</c>

00:47:39.380 --> 00:47:41.559
then<00:47:39.519><c> why</c><00:47:39.719><c> should</c><00:47:39.860><c> they</c><00:47:40.099><c> think</c><00:47:40.360><c> it's</c><00:47:40.619><c> normal?</c>

00:47:41.679 --> 00:47:43.699
If<00:47:42.079><c> you</c><00:47:42.280><c> make</c><00:47:42.460><c> reading</c><00:47:42.719><c> the</c><00:47:42.920><c> Bible</c><00:47:43.099><c> an</c><00:47:43.360><c> exception</c>

00:47:43.699 --> 00:47:44.699
of<00:47:43.920><c> something</c><00:47:44.119><c> difficult,</c>

00:47:44.840 --> 00:47:45.519
well,<00:47:44.900><c> it</c><00:47:44.980><c> will</c><00:47:45.199><c> be.</c>

00:47:45.699 --> 00:47:46.760
That's<00:47:45.940><c> how</c><00:47:46.099><c> they'll</c><00:47:46.400><c> view</c><00:47:46.500><c> it.</c>

00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:49.139
And<00:47:47.019><c> so</c><00:47:47.260><c> Paul's</c><00:47:47.699><c> advice</c><00:47:48.019><c> is,</c><00:47:48.659><c> study</c><00:47:48.800><c> the</c><00:47:48.980><c> Bible.</c>

00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:50.119
Get<00:47:49.440><c> immersed</c><00:47:49.780><c> in</c><00:47:49.900><c> it.</c>

00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:51.920
Make<00:47:50.460><c> it</c><00:47:50.659><c> part</c><00:47:50.880><c> of</c><00:47:51.079><c> your</c><00:47:51.300><c> life.</c>

00:47:52.300 --> 00:47:54.159
That's<00:47:52.579><c> what</c><00:47:52.699><c> it's</c><00:47:52.900><c> all</c><00:47:53.099><c> about.</c>

00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:57.340
Then<00:47:54.840><c> number</c><00:47:55.099><c> eight,</c><00:47:55.420><c> don't</c><00:47:55.619><c> seek</c><00:47:55.900><c> worldly</c><00:47:56.300><c> gain.</c>

00:47:58.820 --> 00:47:59.900
Oh,<00:47:59.000><c> brothers</c><00:47:59.199><c> and</c><00:47:59.340><c> sisters,</c><00:47:59.599><c> you</c><00:47:59.780><c> know,</c>

00:47:59.900 --> 00:48:02.420
we<00:48:00.039><c> can</c><00:48:00.219><c> all</c><00:48:00.380><c> take</c><00:48:00.500><c> that</c><00:48:00.719><c> one</c><00:48:00.840><c> to</c><00:48:01.059><c> heart,</c><00:48:01.400><c> can't</c><00:48:01.500><c> we?</c>

00:48:02.619 --> 00:48:05.400
Now,<00:48:02.940><c> every</c><00:48:03.099><c> one</c><00:48:03.260><c> of</c><00:48:03.400><c> us</c><00:48:04.219><c> seeks</c><00:48:04.579><c> in</c><00:48:04.900><c> some</c><00:48:05.199><c> way.</c>

00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:07.239
We<00:48:05.940><c> never</c><00:48:06.159><c> look</c><00:48:06.320><c> at</c><00:48:06.400><c> the</c><00:48:06.559><c> people</c><00:48:06.780><c> worse</c><00:48:07.079><c> off.</c>

00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.199
Always<00:48:07.460><c> we</c><00:48:07.599><c> look</c><00:48:07.699><c> at</c><00:48:07.780><c> the</c><00:48:07.940><c> people</c><00:48:08.119><c> better</c><00:48:08.400><c> off</c><00:48:08.579><c> than</c><00:48:08.780><c> ourselves.</c>

00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:13.920
That's<00:48:10.159><c> the</c><00:48:10.800><c> yardstick</c><00:48:11.380><c> by</c><00:48:11.619><c> which</c><00:48:11.820><c> you</c><00:48:12.019><c> judge</c><00:48:12.260><c> yourself.</c>

00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:17.159
And<00:48:15.960><c> then</c><00:48:16.119><c> you</c><00:48:16.199><c> come</c><00:48:16.440><c> to</c><00:48:16.579><c> number</c><00:48:16.800><c> nine,</c>

00:48:17.340 --> 00:48:21.539
strive<00:48:17.840><c> for</c><00:48:18.579><c> a</c><00:48:18.940><c> Christ</c><00:48:19.480><c>-like</c><00:48:20.300><c> character.</c>

00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:25.840
Wow,<00:48:23.579><c> that's</c><00:48:23.980><c> the</c><00:48:24.179><c> heart,</c><00:48:24.460><c> isn't</c><00:48:24.619><c> it,</c><00:48:24.739><c> of</c><00:48:24.880><c> the</c><00:48:25.000><c> Gospel.</c>

00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:31.099
Here's<00:48:27.039><c> Timothy,</c><00:48:28.079><c> young</c><00:48:28.300><c> man</c><00:48:28.880><c> in</c><00:48:29.119><c> his</c><00:48:29.400><c> 20s</c><00:48:29.880><c> to</c><00:48:30.119><c> start</c><00:48:30.400><c> with.</c>
