00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:29.540
But<00:01:27.219><c> of</c><00:01:27.400><c> course,</c><00:01:27.560><c> as</c><00:01:27.739><c> they</c><00:01:27.920><c> were</c><00:01:28.140><c> travelling</c><00:01:28.560><c> to</c><00:01:29.120><c> the</c><00:01:29.319><c> cities</c>

00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.739
It's<00:01:39.859><c> difficult</c><00:01:40.219><c> for</c><00:01:40.379><c> us</c><00:01:40.519><c> to</c><00:01:40.700><c> know</c><00:01:40.879><c> whether</c><00:01:41.079><c> there</c><00:01:41.280><c> were</c><00:01:41.420><c> more</c>

00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.299
know<00:01:44.079><c> that</c><00:01:44.239><c> there</c><00:01:44.459><c> were</c><00:01:44.459><c> those</c><00:01:44.879><c> three</c><00:01:45.099><c> brethren</c><00:01:45.459><c> on</c><00:01:45.700><c> the</c><00:01:45.879><c> journey</c><00:01:46.120><c> at</c>

this<00:01:46.579><c> stage.</c>

00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.019
And<00:01:49.400><c> you</c><00:01:49.560><c> can</c><00:01:49.799><c> imagine</c><00:01:50.299><c> the</c><00:01:50.840><c> questions</c><00:01:51.420><c> that</c><00:01:51.780><c> Timothy</c><00:01:52.120><c> would</c><00:01:52.500><c> have.</c>

that<00:01:57.840><c> arose.</c>

00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:00.640
What<00:01:58.959><c> might</c><00:01:59.200><c> be</c><00:01:59.599><c> expected</c><00:01:59.980><c> of</c><00:02:00.219><c> him?</c>

00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.859

And<00:02:26.680><c> so,</c><00:02:27.060><c> although</c><00:02:27.340><c> we're</c><00:02:27.740><c> not</c><00:02:28.039><c> party</c><00:02:28.460><c> to</c><00:02:29.120><c> the</c><00:02:29.419><c> discussions,</c>

the<00:05:37.980><c> truth</c><00:05:38.579><c> of</c><00:05:39.100><c> the</c><00:05:39.240><c> answers</c><00:05:39.500><c> he</c><00:05:39.680><c> got</c><00:05:39.959><c> to</c><00:05:40.139><c> those</c><00:05:40.379><c> questions</c>

00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:42.579
he<00:05:41.000><c> must</c><00:05:41.259><c> have</c><00:05:41.360><c> asked</c><00:05:41.579><c> of</c><00:05:41.759><c> the</c><00:05:41.899><c> Apostle</c><00:05:42.300><c> Paul.</c>

00:05:42.620 --> 00:05:45.620
Where<00:05:42.879><c> are</c><00:05:43.040><c> we</c><00:05:43.199><c> going?</c><00:05:43.980><c> I</c><00:05:44.259><c> don't</c><00:05:44.600><c> know.</c>

00:05:45.899 --> 00:05:47.259
And<00:05:46.279><c> they</c><00:05:46.519><c> didn't</c><00:05:46.839><c> know.</c>

00:05:47.259 --> 00:05:50.740
They<00:05:47.579><c> were</c><00:05:47.759><c> being</c><00:05:48.139><c> led</c><00:05:48.759><c> by</c><00:05:49.259><c> the</c><00:05:49.519><c> Spirit.</c>

00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.639
And<00:05:52.079><c> it's</c><00:05:52.300><c> while</c><00:05:52.579><c> they</c><00:05:52.779><c> were</c><00:05:53.160><c> in</c><00:05:53.560><c> Troas,</c>

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.319
verse<00:05:55.459><c> 9,</c><00:05:55.879><c> that</c><00:05:56.040><c> the</c><00:05:56.160><c> vision</c><00:05:56.360><c> appeared</c><00:05:56.740><c> to</c><00:05:56.980><c> Paul</c><00:05:57.180><c> in</c><00:05:57.420><c> the</c><00:05:57.600><c> night,</c>

00:05:58.699 --> 00:06:01.540
that<00:05:58.800><c> stood</c><00:05:58.959><c> a</c><00:05:59.139><c> man</c><00:05:59.319><c> of</c><00:05:59.560><c> Macedonia</c><00:06:00.160><c> and</c><00:06:00.480><c> prayed</c><00:06:00.740><c> him,</c>

00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:06.439
saying,<00:06:02.220><c> come</c><00:06:02.420><c> over</c><00:06:02.699><c> into</c><00:06:02.899><c> Macedonia</c><00:06:03.740><c> and</c><00:06:04.560><c> help</c><00:06:05.120><c> us.</c>

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.100
Now<00:06:07.240><c> this</c><00:06:07.360><c> had</c><00:06:07.660><c> not</c><00:06:07.959><c> been</c><00:06:08.540><c> the</c><00:06:08.920><c> original</c><00:06:09.500><c> intention,</c><00:06:10.360><c> as</c><00:06:10.620><c> we</c><00:06:10.839><c> know.</c>

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.800
Turn<00:06:11.439><c> back</c><00:06:11.720><c> to</c><00:06:11.899><c> chapter</c><00:06:12.160><c> 15</c><00:06:13.019><c> and</c><00:06:13.699><c> verse</c><00:06:14.000><c> 36,</c>

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.600
where<00:06:15.680><c> Paul</c><00:06:16.220><c> and</c><00:06:16.579><c> Barnabas</c><00:06:16.959><c> spoke</c><00:06:17.339><c> to</c><00:06:17.560><c> each</c><00:06:17.759><c> other</c><00:06:18.040><c> and</c><00:06:18.259><c> said,</c>

00:06:19.019 --> 00:06:21.779
let<00:06:19.160><c> us</c><00:06:19.379><c> go</c><00:06:19.600><c> again</c><00:06:19.980><c> and</c><00:06:20.199><c> visit</c><00:06:20.399><c> our</c><00:06:20.680><c> brethren</c><00:06:20.899><c> in</c><00:06:21.240><c> every</c><00:06:21.480><c> city</c>

00:06:21.779 --> 00:06:24.120
where<00:06:22.000><c> we</c><00:06:22.180><c> have</c><00:06:22.339><c> preached</c><00:06:22.639><c> the</c><00:06:22.779><c> word</c><00:06:22.980><c> of</c><00:06:23.139><c> the</c><00:06:23.279><c> Lord</c><00:06:23.519><c> and</c><00:06:23.879><c> see</c>

00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:25.699
how<00:06:24.379><c> they</c><00:06:24.660><c> do.</c>

00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.540
The<00:06:26.120><c> intention</c><00:06:26.699><c> was</c><00:06:27.120><c> that</c><00:06:27.339><c> the</c><00:06:27.519><c> second</c><00:06:27.800><c> missionary</c><00:06:28.199><c> journey</c>

00:06:28.540 --> 00:06:31.839
should<00:06:28.920><c> be</c><00:06:29.699><c> a</c><00:06:30.060><c> pastoral</c><00:06:30.800><c> visit.</c>

00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:37.060
But<00:06:33.600><c> it's</c><00:06:33.939><c> very</c><00:06:34.399><c> quickly</c><00:06:34.759><c> turning</c><00:06:35.100><c> into</c><00:06:35.420><c> something</c><00:06:35.879><c> different.</c>

00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:40.439
It's<00:06:37.720><c> becoming</c><00:06:38.019><c> much</c><00:06:38.420><c> more</c><00:06:38.680><c> like</c><00:06:38.920><c> the</c><00:06:39.199><c> first</c><00:06:39.540><c> missionary</c><00:06:40.019><c> journey.</c>

00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:42.399
It's<00:06:40.839><c> breaking</c><00:06:41.300><c> new</c><00:06:41.759><c> ground.</c>

00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.079
As<00:06:43.240><c> we</c><00:06:43.480><c> saw</c><00:06:43.800><c> in</c><00:06:44.120><c> our</c><00:06:44.699><c> talk</c><00:06:44.920><c> on</c><00:06:45.160><c> Monday,</c>

00:06:46.459 --> 00:06:50.620
it<00:06:47.220><c> was</c><00:06:47.620><c> opening</c><00:06:48.139><c> the</c><00:06:48.360><c> door</c><00:06:48.639><c> of</c><00:06:48.920><c> faith</c><00:06:49.300><c> to</c><00:06:49.540><c> the</c><00:06:49.680><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.620
And<00:06:51.060><c> another</c><00:06:51.439><c> door</c><00:06:51.939><c> is</c><00:06:52.279><c> now</c><00:06:52.560><c> opening.</c>

00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:59.079
And<00:06:53.899><c> the</c><00:06:54.000><c> man</c><00:06:54.199><c> of</c><00:06:54.459><c> Macedonia,</c><00:06:56.139><c> who</c><00:06:56.360><c> calls</c><00:06:56.939><c> the</c><00:06:57.259><c> Apostle</c><00:06:57.819><c> over,</c>

00:06:59.660 --> 00:07:03.980
he's<00:06:59.819><c> in</c><00:07:00.079><c> Philippi</c><00:07:00.680><c> and</c><00:07:00.920><c> calls</c><00:07:01.399><c> to</c><00:07:01.939><c> the</c><00:07:02.120><c> Apostle</c><00:07:02.540><c> in</c><00:07:02.959><c> Troas,</c>

00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:07.939
the<00:07:04.639><c> man</c><00:07:04.920><c> of</c><00:07:05.160><c> Macedonia</c><00:07:06.060><c> is</c><00:07:06.579><c> in</c><00:07:06.899><c> Europe.</c>

00:07:07.980 --> 00:07:11.120
And<00:07:08.199><c> he's</c><00:07:08.500><c> calling</c><00:07:08.879><c> the</c><00:07:09.180><c> Apostle</c><00:07:10.120><c> into</c><00:07:10.639><c> Europe.</c>

00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.699
And<00:07:11.439><c> for</c><00:07:11.660><c> the</c><00:07:11.879><c> first</c><00:07:12.240><c> time,</c><00:07:13.579><c> the</c><00:07:13.639><c> Gospel</c><00:07:14.180><c> is</c><00:07:14.740><c> being</c><00:07:15.139><c> preached</c>

in<00:07:16.439><c> Europe.</c>

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:22.620
So<00:07:18.699><c> this</c><00:07:18.860><c> is</c><00:07:19.040><c> very</c><00:07:19.360><c> much</c><00:07:19.759><c> a</c><00:07:20.100><c> new</c><00:07:20.360><c> door,</c><00:07:21.000><c> a</c><00:07:21.120><c> new</c><00:07:21.319><c> opportunity.</c>

00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.379
And<00:07:23.720><c> Timothy</c><00:07:24.120><c> is</c><00:07:25.139><c> part</c><00:07:25.540><c> of</c><00:07:25.779><c> the</c><00:07:25.980><c> work.</c>

00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:32.899

they're<00:07:36.019><c> going</c><00:07:36.180><c> to</c><00:07:36.420><c> do.</c>

00:07:38.420 --> 00:07:40.519
Well,<00:07:39.060><c> we</c><00:07:39.139><c> know</c><00:07:39.300><c> what</c><00:07:39.519><c> happens</c><00:07:39.779><c> in</c><00:07:40.079><c> Philippi.</c>

00:07:40.899 --> 00:07:44.139
We're<00:07:41.439><c> less</c><00:07:41.839><c> concerned</c><00:07:42.439><c> at</c><00:07:42.600><c> the</c><00:07:42.740><c> moment</c><00:07:43.040><c> with</c><00:07:43.259><c> what</c><00:07:43.540><c> occurs</c>

00:07:46.420 --> 00:07:50.879
What<00:07:46.560><c> we</c><00:07:46.759><c> want</c><00:07:46.939><c> to</c><00:07:47.180><c> try</c><00:07:47.379><c> and</c><00:07:47.600><c> find</c><00:07:47.879><c> out</c><00:07:48.360><c> is</c><00:07:48.839><c> what</c><00:07:49.019><c> was</c><00:07:49.279><c> happening</c><00:07:49.600><c> to</c><00:07:49.899><c> Timothy.</c>

00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.860
But<00:07:51.480><c> there's</c><00:07:51.660><c> just</c><00:07:51.939><c> a</c><00:07:52.019><c> little</c><00:07:52.379><c> piece</c><00:07:52.600><c> of</c><00:07:52.800><c> information</c><00:07:53.240><c> we</c><00:07:53.399><c> need</c><00:07:53.560><c> to</c>

After<00:08:00.300><c> Paul</c><00:08:00.680><c> had</c><00:08:00.980><c> seen</c><00:08:01.259><c> the</c><00:08:01.480><c> vision,</c><00:08:02.060><c> immediately</c><00:08:02.660><c> we</c><00:08:03.040><c> endeavored</c><00:08:03.480><c> to</c><00:08:03.759><c> go</c>

00:08:04.100 --> 00:08:05.180
into<00:08:04.480><c> Macedonia,</c>

00:08:05.180 --> 00:08:08.360
assuredly<00:08:05.959><c> gathering</c><00:08:06.319><c> that</c><00:08:06.939><c> the</c><00:08:07.139><c> Lord</c><00:08:07.360><c> had</c><00:08:07.699><c> called</c><00:08:07.920><c> us</c><00:08:08.220><c> for</c>

00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.439
There<00:08:10.740><c> was</c><00:08:10.920><c> no</c><00:08:11.120><c> doubt</c><00:08:11.339><c> about</c><00:08:11.660><c> it.</c>

00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.750
And<00:08:12.939><c> although</c><00:08:13.160><c> it</c><00:08:13.339><c> was</c><00:08:13.800><c> a</c><00:08:14.000><c> journey</c><00:08:14.240><c> which</c><00:08:14.480><c> they</c><00:08:14.680><c> didn't</c><00:08:14.980><c> anticipate,</c>

00:49:09.780 --> 00:49:12.380

00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:27.760
That<00:49:25.280><c> he</c><00:49:25.420><c> was</c><00:49:25.780><c> always</c><00:49:26.559><c> waiting</c>

00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:39.440
That's<00:49:37.159><c> how</c><00:49:37.480><c> Paul</c><00:49:37.880><c> was</c><00:49:38.380><c> with</c><00:49:39.000><c> Timothy.</c>

00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:43.139
He<00:49:39.659><c> said,</c><00:49:41.460><c> I</c><00:49:41.579><c> look</c><00:49:41.920><c> for</c><00:49:42.280><c> him.</c>

00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:48.519
I'm<00:49:46.099><c> waiting</c><00:49:46.500><c> for</c><00:49:46.739><c> him</c><00:49:46.960><c> to</c><00:49:47.099><c> come</c><00:49:47.420><c> back</c>

00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:51.320

00:49:51.460 --> 00:49:54.159
there's<00:49:52.179><c> something</c><00:49:52.699><c> incomplete.</c>

00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:56.440
He's<00:49:54.900><c> gone</c><00:49:55.099><c> as</c><00:49:55.320><c> my</c><00:49:55.679><c> representative.</c>

He's<00:49:56.760><c> the</c><00:49:56.940><c> best</c><00:49:57.340><c> person</c><00:49:58.000><c> I</c><00:49:58.440><c> can</c><00:49:58.719><c> send</c><00:49:59.019><c> in</c><00:49:59.219><c> these</c><00:49:59.500><c> circumstances.</c>
