Now,<00:02:36.719><c> unless</c><00:02:37.400><c> you</c><00:02:37.639><c> knew</c><00:02:37.860><c> that,</c><00:02:38.319><c> I</c><00:02:38.740><c> find</c><00:02:39.000><c> that</c><00:02:39.259><c> surprising</c><00:02:39.780><c> information.</c>

00:02:41.340 --> 00:02:46.000
You<00:02:41.740><c> just</c><00:02:41.939><c> did</c><00:02:42.120><c> not</c><00:02:42.280><c> expect</c><00:02:43.000><c> to</c><00:02:43.500><c> discover</c><00:02:43.819><c> that</c><00:02:44.360><c> about</c><00:02:44.900><c> Timothy.</c>

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.740
And<00:02:47.020><c> yet,</c><00:02:47.900><c> putting</c><00:02:48.139><c> that</c><00:02:48.379><c> information</c><00:02:49.060><c> on</c><00:02:49.319><c> one</c><00:02:49.620><c> side,</c><00:02:51.520><c> just</c>

00:02:53.620 --> 00:03:00.000
So<00:02:54.219><c> far</c><00:02:54.520><c> as</c><00:02:54.939><c> the</c><00:02:55.180><c> Scriptures</c><00:02:55.460><c> are</c><00:02:55.759><c> concerned,</c><00:02:57.780><c> Timothy</c><00:02:58.060><c> never</c><00:02:58.800><c> speaks.</c>

00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.099
We<00:03:39.319><c> don't</c><00:03:39.479><c> know</c><00:03:39.639><c> if</c><00:03:39.780><c> he</c><00:03:39.879><c> ever</c><00:03:40.139><c> married.</c>

00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:46.840
We<00:03:41.740><c> don't</c><00:03:42.419><c> actually</c><00:03:42.819><c> know</c><00:03:43.060><c> if</c><00:03:43.180><c> he</c><00:03:43.300><c> ever</c><00:03:43.659><c> returned</c><00:03:44.319><c> to</c><00:03:44.580><c> his</c><00:03:44.819><c> home</c><00:03:45.120><c> city</c><00:03:45.759><c> once</c><00:03:46.599><c> he</c>

00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:57.159
But<00:03:52.240><c> what</c><00:03:52.460><c> we</c><00:03:52.620><c> do</c><00:03:52.939><c> know</c><00:03:53.879><c> is</c><00:03:55.740><c> that</c><00:03:55.900><c> this</c><00:03:56.060><c> is</c><00:03:56.180><c> what</c><00:03:56.419><c> Paul</c><00:03:56.780><c> thought</c>

of<00:03:57.360><c> him.</c>

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.340
Now,<00:03:59.939><c> just</c><00:04:00.159><c> look</c><00:04:00.360><c> at</c><00:04:00.520><c> that</c><00:04:00.780><c> list</c><00:04:01.240><c> of</c><00:04:01.479><c> things</c><00:04:02.020><c> that</c><00:04:02.300><c> the</c><00:04:02.479><c> Apostle</c><00:04:02.860><c> Paul</c>

00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:07.879
And<00:04:06.520><c> it's</c><00:04:06.659><c> not</c><00:04:06.879><c> a</c><00:04:07.180><c> complete</c><00:04:07.419><c> list.</c>

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:12.539

00:04:20.699 --> 00:04:22.459
So<00:04:20.899><c> these</c><00:04:21.079><c> are</c><00:04:21.220><c> the</c><00:04:21.300><c> things</c><00:04:21.439><c> that</c><00:04:21.600><c> he</c><00:04:21.720><c> said</c><00:04:21.860><c> about</c><00:04:22.139><c> him.</c>

00:10:39.299 --> 00:10:42.799
probably<00:10:39.799><c> more</c><00:10:40.200><c> than</c><00:10:40.740><c> many</c><00:10:41.279><c> other</c><00:10:41.700><c> brethren</c><00:10:41.940><c> and</c><00:10:42.179><c> sisters</c><00:10:42.440><c> do.</c>

00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:46.700
And<00:10:43.379><c> ecclesias</c><00:10:43.740><c> differ</c><00:10:44.299><c> remarkably</c><00:10:45.139><c> from</c><00:10:46.120><c> one</c><00:10:46.340><c> to</c><00:10:46.539><c> another.</c>

00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:51.100

I'm<00:10:52.419><c> thankful</c><00:10:52.860><c> I</c><00:10:53.019><c> don't</c><00:10:53.259><c> belong</c><00:10:53.539><c> there,</c><00:10:54.200><c> because</c><00:10:54.940><c> you</c><00:10:55.100><c> feel</c>

00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:56.960
there's<00:10:55.519><c> not</c><00:10:55.659><c> much</c><00:10:55.899><c> happening.</c>

00:10:57.220 --> 00:11:00.379
You<00:10:57.620><c> do</c><00:10:57.860><c> feel</c><00:10:58.159><c> that</c><00:10:58.519><c> that</c><00:10:58.779><c> needs</c><00:10:58.940><c> a</c><00:10:59.100><c> little</c><00:10:59.299><c> bomb,</c>

00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.320
that<00:11:01.159><c> it</c><00:11:01.399><c> really</c><00:11:01.659><c> needs</c><00:11:02.620><c> something</c><00:11:03.220><c> to</c><00:11:03.500><c> occur</c><00:11:03.740><c> which</c><00:11:03.919><c> is</c><00:11:03.980><c> going</c><00:11:04.059><c> to</c>

change<00:11:04.720><c> it.</c>

00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.460
They've<00:11:06.159><c> perhaps</c><00:11:06.379><c> been</c><00:11:06.639><c> sort</c><00:11:06.779><c> of</c><00:11:07.279><c> trickling</c><00:11:07.740><c> along</c><00:11:08.080><c> in</c><00:11:08.320><c> the</c>

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.139
that<00:11:10.860><c> things</c><00:11:11.100><c> are</c><00:11:11.259><c> being</c><00:11:11.440><c> done</c><00:11:11.620><c> almost</c><00:11:11.980><c> out</c><00:11:12.259><c> of</c><00:11:12.480><c> habit</c><00:11:12.779><c> rather</c>

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.539
I<00:11:15.139><c> don't</c><00:11:15.279><c> want</c><00:11:15.399><c> to</c><00:11:15.460><c> sound</c><00:11:15.620><c> critical,</c><00:11:16.139><c> but</c><00:11:16.580><c> all</c><00:11:16.759><c> I'm</c><00:11:17.000><c> explaining</c><00:11:17.279><c> is</c><00:11:17.460><c> that</c>

there<00:11:17.659><c> are</c><00:11:17.840><c> differences.</c>

00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.580
You<00:11:19.419><c> can</c><00:11:19.559><c> go</c><00:11:19.700><c> to</c><00:11:19.899><c> another</c><00:11:20.240><c> ecclesia</c><00:11:20.919><c> and</c><00:11:21.139><c> you</c><00:11:21.320><c> think,</c>

00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:23.379
oh,<00:11:21.860><c> I</c><00:11:21.940><c> wish</c><00:11:22.059><c> I</c><00:11:22.320><c> was</c><00:11:22.320><c> staying</c><00:11:22.480><c> here</c><00:11:22.679><c> for</c><00:11:22.799><c> a</c><00:11:22.899><c> bit</c><00:11:22.980><c> longer.</c>

00:11:23.700 --> 00:11:25.779
You<00:11:23.759><c> know,</c><00:11:24.340><c> things</c><00:11:24.659><c> are</c><00:11:24.899><c> buzzing.</c>

00:11:26.340 --> 00:11:29.179
You<00:11:26.639><c> realise</c><00:11:27.120><c> that</c><00:11:27.340><c> something's</c><00:11:28.080><c> all</c><00:11:28.379><c> on</c><00:11:28.580><c> the</c><00:11:28.759><c> go.</c>

00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:32.320
They're<00:11:29.659><c> bubbling</c><00:11:29.919><c> away</c><00:11:30.559><c> and</c><00:11:30.980><c> you'd</c><00:11:31.360><c> like</c><00:11:31.500><c> to</c><00:11:31.720><c> belong</c><00:11:32.000><c> there.</c>

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:38.100
Well,<00:11:33.659><c> that</c><00:11:33.980><c> second</c><00:11:34.559><c> sort</c><00:11:34.919><c> of</c><00:11:35.120><c> ecclesia</c><00:11:35.899><c> was</c><00:11:36.519><c> Syrian</c><00:11:37.279><c> Antioch.</c>

00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.100
If<00:11:38.679><c> there's</c><00:11:39.179><c> an</c><00:11:39.320><c> ecclesia</c><00:11:39.740><c> in</c><00:11:39.919><c> all</c><00:11:40.139><c> of</c><00:11:40.360><c> scripture</c><00:11:40.779><c> to</c><00:11:40.980><c> which</c>

00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:42.720

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:46.059

00:11:46.059 --> 00:11:48.659
because<00:11:46.559><c> so</c><00:11:46.940><c> many</c><00:11:47.179><c> things</c><00:11:47.480><c> were</c><00:11:47.720><c> happening</c><00:11:48.059><c> there.</c>

00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.639
It<00:11:49.159><c> was</c><00:11:49.399><c> exciting.</c>

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:54.559
And<00:11:51.399><c> we're</c><00:11:51.720><c> going</c><00:11:51.899><c> to</c><00:11:52.139><c> meet</c><00:11:52.419><c> one</c><00:11:52.960><c> man,</c><00:11:53.240><c> and</c><00:11:53.320><c> this</c><00:11:53.480><c> isn't</c><00:11:53.700><c> sympathy,</c>

00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:58.440
we're<00:11:54.799><c> going</c><00:11:54.860><c> to</c><00:11:55.039><c> meet</c><00:11:55.259><c> one</c><00:11:55.580><c> man</c><00:11:56.080><c> who</c><00:11:56.679><c> went</c><00:11:56.899><c> to</c><00:11:57.279><c> Antioch</c><00:11:57.759><c> for</c><00:11:58.179><c> a</c>

00:11:58.440 --> 00:11:59.279
specific<00:11:58.860><c> reason.</c>

00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.659
He<00:11:59.440><c> wasn't</c><00:11:59.679><c> intended</c><00:12:00.100><c> to</c><00:12:00.360><c> stay</c><00:12:00.580><c> there,</c><00:12:00.779><c> but</c><00:12:00.899><c> when</c><00:12:01.059><c> he</c><00:12:01.220><c> got</c><00:12:01.379><c> there,</c><00:12:01.720><c> he</c><00:12:01.860><c> said,</c>

00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:08.059
Now<00:12:06.100><c> I'm</c><00:12:06.259><c> here,</c><00:12:06.519><c> I'm</c><00:12:06.759><c> going</c><00:12:06.899><c> to</c><00:12:07.240><c> stay.</c>

00:12:08.379 --> 00:12:11.460
Actually,<00:12:08.799><c> he</c><00:12:08.960><c> didn't,</c><00:12:09.820><c> and</c><00:12:10.159><c> you'll</c><00:12:10.360><c> see</c><00:12:10.519><c> why</c><00:12:10.759><c> he</c><00:12:10.940><c> didn't</c><00:12:11.220><c> as</c>

But<00:12:12.799><c> Antioch</c><00:12:13.360><c> was</c><00:12:13.500><c> quite</c><00:12:13.759><c> a</c><00:12:14.419><c> wonderful</c><00:12:14.860><c> ecclesia.</c>

That's<00:15:46.740><c> all.</c>

00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:51.480

00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:07.000

00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.100
But<00:16:12.440><c> it's</c><00:16:12.659><c> Lystra</c><00:16:12.919><c> that</c><00:16:13.080><c> we're</c><00:16:13.399><c> concerned</c><00:16:13.720><c> about,</c><00:16:14.059><c> aren't</c><00:16:14.259><c> we?</c>

00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:19.120
So<00:16:16.159><c> we</c><00:16:16.759><c> need</c><00:16:16.960><c> to</c><00:16:17.080><c> come</c><00:16:17.179><c> a</c><00:16:17.279><c> little</c><00:16:17.399><c> bit</c><00:16:17.600><c> farther</c><00:16:17.860><c> down</c><00:16:18.179><c> in</c><00:16:18.320><c> that.</c>

00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.139

00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:56.679
We<00:16:52.600><c> started</c><00:16:52.899><c> by</c><00:16:53.179><c> thinking</c><00:16:53.399><c> of</c><00:16:53.740><c> Stephen's</c><00:16:54.279><c> work,</c><00:16:54.480><c> and</c><00:16:54.600><c> of</c><00:16:54.720><c> course</c><00:16:54.860><c> Stephen's</c><00:16:55.519><c> work</c>

00:22:00.019 --> 00:22:02.740
So<00:22:00.140><c> Paul</c><00:22:00.539><c> is</c><00:22:00.839><c> seen</c><00:22:01.059><c> as</c><00:22:01.440><c> the</c><00:22:01.740><c> messenger.</c>

You<00:24:04.099><c> see,</c><00:24:04.500><c> stoning</c><00:24:04.660><c> isn't</c><00:24:04.940><c> throwing</c><00:24:05.359><c> pebbles</c><00:24:05.880><c> at</c><00:24:06.180><c> somebody.</c>

00:24:08.819 --> 00:24:13.940
Stoning<00:24:09.299><c> is</c><00:24:09.819><c> lifting</c><00:24:10.180><c> up</c><00:24:10.579><c> almost</c><00:24:10.900><c> the</c><00:24:11.279><c> largest</c><00:24:11.640><c> rock</c><00:24:12.119><c> you</c><00:24:12.400><c> can</c><00:24:12.799><c> carry</c>

00:24:22.619 --> 00:24:27.359
The<00:24:23.140><c> idea</c><00:24:23.640><c> is</c><00:24:24.079><c> to</c><00:24:24.779><c> create</c><00:24:25.259><c> serious</c><00:24:26.039><c> injury</c>

00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:35.660

So<00:46:08.360><c> having</c><00:46:08.559><c> confirmed</c><00:46:08.980><c> what</c><00:46:09.139><c> had</c><00:46:09.320><c> happened</c><00:46:09.480><c> at</c><00:46:09.659><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:40.199
And<00:48:36.519><c> they</c><00:48:36.960><c> set</c><00:48:37.199><c> off</c><00:48:37.480><c> going</c><00:48:37.780><c> through</c><00:48:38.099><c> Syria</c><00:48:38.719><c> and</c><00:48:39.340><c> Seleucia,</c>

00:48:40.260 --> 00:48:41.619
confirming<00:48:40.880><c> the</c><00:48:41.219><c> churches.</c>

00:48:41.780 --> 00:48:43.820
And<00:48:41.860><c> they've</c><00:48:42.260><c> started</c><00:48:42.579><c> the</c><00:48:42.860><c> journey</c>

00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:46.800
where<00:48:44.239><c> they're</c><00:48:44.480><c> going</c><00:48:44.699><c> to</c><00:48:45.219><c> meet</c><00:48:45.679><c> Timothy.</c>

00:48:47.579 --> 00:48:52.139
I<00:48:47.900><c> say</c><00:48:48.039><c> to</c><00:48:48.280><c> meet</c><00:48:48.480><c> Timothy,</c><00:48:50.300><c> as</c><00:48:51.079><c> we</c><00:48:51.300><c> know,</c>

00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:54.559
it<00:48:52.519><c> looks</c><00:48:52.739><c> as</c><00:48:52.900><c> if</c><00:48:52.980><c> he</c><00:48:53.099><c> had</c><00:48:53.219><c> already</c><00:48:53.599><c> met</c><00:48:54.079><c> Timothy,</c>

00:48:54.739 --> 00:48:56.519
or<00:48:55.000><c> perhaps</c><00:48:55.320><c> put</c><00:48:55.500><c> it</c><00:48:55.619><c> the</c><00:48:55.739><c> other</c><00:48:55.900><c> way</c><00:48:56.079><c> round,</c>

00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:59.860
Timothy<00:48:57.380><c> had</c><00:48:57.579><c> already</c><00:48:57.960><c> seen</c><00:48:58.519><c> the</c><00:48:58.800><c> Apostle</c><00:48:59.260><c> Paul.</c>

00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:02.159
Quite<00:49:00.480><c> what</c><00:49:00.619><c> the</c><00:49:00.800><c> meeting</c><00:49:01.099><c> was,</c><00:49:01.400><c> we</c><00:49:01.619><c> don't</c><00:49:01.880><c> know.</c>

00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:05.280
The<00:49:02.559><c> Apostle</c><00:49:02.940><c> Paul</c><00:49:03.159><c> knew</c><00:49:03.699><c> Lois</c><00:49:04.239><c> and</c><00:49:04.460><c> Eunice.</c>

00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:08.159
He<00:49:05.739><c> knew</c><00:49:06.059><c> that</c><00:49:06.260><c> the</c><00:49:06.440><c> faith</c><00:49:06.659><c> was</c><00:49:07.000><c> first</c><00:49:07.559><c> in</c><00:49:07.860><c> them</c>

00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:11.380
and<00:49:09.320><c> then</c><00:49:09.699><c> later</c><00:49:10.239><c> in</c><00:49:10.539><c> Timothy.</c>

00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:13.780
So<00:49:11.619><c> the</c><00:49:11.940><c> extent</c><00:49:12.239><c> of</c><00:49:13.039><c> the</c><00:49:13.360><c> knowledge</c>

00:49:13.780 --> 00:49:15.659
that<00:49:14.099><c> the</c><00:49:14.280><c> Apostle</c><00:49:14.619><c> Paul</c><00:49:14.840><c> had</c><00:49:15.039><c> about</c><00:49:15.300><c> Timothy,</c>

00:49:15.780 --> 00:49:17.780
we<00:49:15.860><c> can</c><00:49:16.019><c> only</c><00:49:16.280><c> conjecture</c><00:49:16.940><c> at.</c>

00:49:18.679 --> 00:49:20.679
But<00:49:18.820><c> it's</c><00:49:19.039><c> this</c><00:49:19.420><c> second</c><00:49:19.760><c> missionary</c><00:49:20.199><c> journey,</c>

00:49:20.699 --> 00:49:24.059
which<00:49:20.940><c> we</c><00:49:21.119><c> must</c><00:49:21.280><c> look</c><00:49:21.599><c> at</c><00:49:21.760><c> in</c><00:49:22.000><c> our</c><00:49:22.719><c> second</c><00:49:23.139><c> session,</c>

00:49:24.179 --> 00:49:25.820
it's<00:49:24.420><c> this</c><00:49:24.760><c> second</c><00:49:25.059><c> missionary</c><00:49:25.480><c> journey</c>

00:49:25.820 --> 00:49:30.019
that<00:49:26.079><c> brings</c><00:49:27.000><c> Paul</c><00:49:27.619><c> and</c><00:49:27.920><c> Timothy</c><00:49:28.300><c> directly</c><00:49:29.019><c> into</c><00:49:29.340><c> contact</c>

00:49:30.019 --> 00:49:32.460
in<00:49:30.500><c> a</c><00:49:30.579><c> very</c><00:49:30.980><c> special</c><00:49:31.380><c> way.</c>

00:49:33.420 --> 00:49:35.000
And<00:49:33.659><c> after</c><00:49:34.260><c> our</c><00:49:34.760><c> break,</c>

00:49:35.500 --> 00:49:37.139
what<00:49:35.659><c> we're</c><00:49:35.920><c> going</c><00:49:35.980><c> to</c><00:49:36.119><c> do</c><00:49:36.219><c> is</c><00:49:36.400><c> to</c><00:49:36.639><c> look</c><00:49:36.760><c> at</c><00:49:36.980><c> that</c>

00:49:37.139 --> 00:49:41.780
and<00:49:37.420><c> find</c><00:49:37.679><c> out</c><00:49:38.260><c> why</c><00:49:38.920><c> it</c><00:49:39.280><c> was</c><00:49:39.760><c> that</c><00:49:40.460><c> it</c><00:49:40.539><c> was</c><00:49:40.739><c> so</c><00:49:41.159><c> important</c>

00:49:41.780 --> 00:49:45.500
that<00:49:42.440><c> Paul</c><00:49:42.719><c> should</c><00:49:43.099><c> meet</c><00:49:43.420><c> Timothy</c><00:49:43.860><c> on</c><00:49:44.280><c> that</c><00:49:44.539><c> journey.</c>

00:49:45.619 --> 00:49:49.300
And<00:49:45.840><c> there's</c><00:49:46.039><c> some</c><00:49:46.579><c> startling</c><00:49:47.099><c> information</c><00:49:47.739><c> for</c><00:49:48.019><c> us</c><00:49:48.179><c> to</c><00:49:48.500><c> discover.</c>

00:49:49.619 --> 00:49:51.260
Absolutely<00:49:50.059><c> startling.</c>

00:49:52.420 --> 00:49:54.539
You<00:49:52.659><c> may</c><00:49:52.920><c> have</c><00:49:53.139><c> seen</c><00:49:53.260><c> it</c><00:49:53.480><c> before.</c>

00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:56.920
If<00:49:55.880><c> you</c><00:49:56.179><c> haven't,</c>

00:49:56.920 --> 00:49:59.639

00:49:59.639 --> 00:50:01.699
of<00:50:00.199><c> how</c><00:50:00.519><c> the</c><00:50:00.780><c> Apostles</c><00:50:01.199><c> worked</c>

00:50:01.699 --> 00:50:04.840

00:50:07.940 --> 00:50:12.119
Now<00:50:08.199><c> the</c><00:50:08.460><c> door</c><00:50:08.699><c> of</c><00:50:09.000><c> faith</c><00:50:09.260><c> was</c><00:50:09.599><c> open</c><00:50:09.980><c> to</c><00:50:10.179><c> the</c><00:50:10.320><c> Gentiles</c>
