The<00:00:57.799><c> situation</c><00:00:58.320><c> in</c><00:00:58.960><c> Thessalonica,</c><00:00:59.780><c> because</c><00:01:00.020><c> of</c><00:01:00.200><c> the</c><00:01:00.399><c> pressure</c><00:01:00.719><c> that</c><00:01:00.840><c> was</c><00:01:01.020><c> being</c><00:01:01.340><c> brought</c><00:01:01.619><c> to</c><00:01:01.899><c> bear</c>

00:01:10.659 --> 00:01:13.500
And<00:01:10.799><c> it's</c><00:01:10.959><c> a</c><00:01:11.120><c> sad</c><00:01:11.319><c> thing,</c><00:01:11.700><c> brothers</c><00:01:11.819><c> and</c><00:01:12.060><c> sisters,</c><00:01:12.280><c> that</c><00:01:12.480><c> Paul,</c><00:01:13.299><c> who</c>

00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:14.640
had<00:01:13.620><c> done</c><00:01:13.760><c> so</c><00:01:14.060><c> much</c><00:01:14.219><c> for</c><00:01:14.379><c> these</c>

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:19.040

00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:24.519
his<00:01:22.420><c> very</c><00:01:22.719><c> activity</c><00:01:23.280><c> amongst</c><00:01:23.659><c> them,</c><00:01:23.859><c> and</c><00:01:23.980><c> the</c><00:01:24.120><c> fact</c><00:01:24.260><c> that</c><00:01:24.459><c> he</c>

00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.599
had<00:01:24.840><c> left</c><00:01:25.299><c> of</c><00:01:25.939><c> necessity,</c><00:01:26.500><c> he</c><00:01:26.700><c> had</c><00:01:26.900><c> to</c><00:01:27.200><c> leave.</c>

00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:31.079
Indeed,<00:01:29.140><c> the</c><00:01:29.260><c> brethren</c><00:01:29.480><c> helped</c><00:01:29.840><c> him</c><00:01:30.120><c> leave</c><00:01:30.359><c> and</c><00:01:30.560><c> sent</c><00:01:30.760><c> him</c><00:01:30.920><c> on</c>

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.540
his<00:01:31.260><c> way</c><00:01:31.859><c> to</c><00:01:32.239><c> Berea</c><00:01:32.719><c> because</c><00:01:33.099><c> of</c><00:01:33.280><c> the</c>

00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:38.120
pressure<00:01:33.900><c> of</c><00:01:34.959><c> the</c><00:01:35.140><c> unbelieving</c><00:01:35.620><c> Jews</c><00:01:35.920><c> that</c><00:01:36.159><c> just</c><00:01:37.019><c> dogged</c><00:01:37.400><c> his</c><00:01:37.760><c> trail.</c>

00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.280
They<00:01:38.540><c> followed</c><00:01:38.780><c> him</c><00:01:39.040><c> everywhere</c><00:01:39.480><c> he</c><00:01:39.780><c> went</c><00:01:40.000><c> and</c><00:01:40.739><c> attempted</c><00:01:41.060><c> to</c>

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.379
make<00:01:41.439><c> life</c><00:01:41.920><c> as</c><00:01:42.799><c> bad</c><00:01:43.060><c> for</c><00:01:43.299><c> Paul</c><00:01:43.599><c> as</c><00:01:43.739><c> they</c><00:01:44.019><c> possibly</c>

00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:47.280
could,<00:01:44.780><c> and</c><00:01:45.120><c> to</c><00:01:45.260><c> undermine</c><00:01:45.519><c> the</c><00:01:45.739><c> preaching</c><00:01:45.939><c> of</c><00:01:46.140><c> the</c><00:01:46.359><c> gospel.</c>

00:01:47.659 --> 00:01:51.079
So<00:01:48.099><c> this</c><00:01:48.540><c> was</c><00:01:48.739><c> the</c><00:01:48.859><c> situation</c><00:01:49.340><c> in</c><00:01:49.900><c> Thessalonica</c><00:01:50.560><c> that</c><00:01:50.739><c> Paul</c>

00:01:53.620 --> 00:02:00.120
the<00:01:53.939><c> second</c><00:01:54.239><c> chapter,</c><00:01:58.480><c> and</c><00:01:58.519><c> we're</c><00:01:58.659><c> just</c><00:01:58.840><c> looking</c><00:01:59.040><c> at</c><00:01:59.200><c> verse</c>

00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.039
and<00:02:06.719><c> sisters,</c><00:02:06.980><c> there</c><00:02:07.159><c> are</c><00:02:07.400><c> some</c><00:02:08.020><c> echoes</c><00:02:08.379><c> in</c><00:02:08.560><c> the</c><00:02:08.780><c> scripture</c>

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.080
that<00:02:09.219><c> are</c><00:02:09.460><c> remarkable,</c><00:02:10.039><c> things</c><00:02:10.340><c> that</c>

00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:14.259
you<00:02:12.020><c> read</c><00:02:12.460><c> and</c><00:02:12.639><c> you</c><00:02:12.819><c> say,</c><00:02:12.979><c> well,</c><00:02:13.080><c> I've</c><00:02:13.300><c> heard</c><00:02:13.379><c> that</c><00:02:13.639><c> before,</c>

00:02:14.620 --> 00:02:15.879
and<00:02:14.840><c> you</c><00:02:14.979><c> realize</c><00:02:15.240><c> it's</c><00:02:15.500><c> come</c><00:02:15.620><c> from</c><00:02:15.780><c> the</c>

00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.460

00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:20.979
person<00:02:19.659><c> that's</c><00:02:19.840><c> in</c><00:02:19.979><c> the</c><00:02:20.159><c> scripture,</c>

00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.419

00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:24.680
wonderful,<00:02:23.879><c> and</c><00:02:24.060><c> sometimes</c><00:02:24.500><c> they're</c>

00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:25.939
very<00:02:24.960><c> painful.</c>

00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:30.099
Memories<00:02:27.180><c> that</c><00:02:27.340><c> come</c><00:02:27.520><c> back</c><00:02:27.740><c> are</c><00:02:27.919><c> not</c><00:02:28.060><c> always</c><00:02:28.620><c> happy</c><00:02:29.080><c> things.</c>

00:02:30.219 --> 00:02:32.080
I'm<00:02:30.419><c> sure</c><00:02:30.539><c> that</c><00:02:30.699><c> we</c><00:02:30.780><c> all</c><00:02:30.900><c> have</c><00:02:31.039><c> memories</c><00:02:31.379><c> that</c><00:02:31.539><c> we'd</c><00:02:31.800><c> like</c><00:02:31.860><c> to</c>

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.360

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.599

00:02:40.139 --> 00:02:41.879

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:46.879
So<00:02:42.560><c> we're</c><00:02:42.699><c> reading</c><00:02:42.939><c> in</c><00:02:43.159><c> 1</c><00:02:43.319><c> Thessalonians</c><00:02:44.020><c> chapter</c><00:02:44.360><c> 2</c><00:02:44.659><c> and</c><00:02:44.780><c> verse</c><00:02:45.060><c> 14.</c>

00:02:47.020 --> 00:02:50.979

And<00:03:26.639><c> they</c><00:03:26.960><c> please</c><00:03:27.280><c> not</c><00:03:27.639><c> God</c><00:03:28.099><c> and</c><00:03:28.960><c> are</c><00:03:29.300><c> contrary</c><00:03:29.919><c> to</c><00:03:30.180><c> all</c><00:03:30.460><c> men.</c>

00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:33.699
That's<00:03:32.419><c> an</c><00:03:32.539><c> interesting</c><00:03:32.819><c> expression,</c><00:03:33.439><c> isn't</c><00:03:33.560><c> it?</c>

00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:53.879

00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:58.080
why<00:03:56.919><c> I</c><00:03:56.960><c> say</c><00:03:57.060><c> there</c><00:03:57.240><c> are</c><00:03:57.539><c> echoes</c><00:03:57.819><c> in</c>

00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.860
And<00:03:59.919><c> I</c><00:04:00.080><c> just</c><00:04:00.460><c> wonder,</c><00:04:01.439><c> and</c><00:04:01.680><c> from</c><00:04:01.879><c> the</c><00:04:02.060><c> Acts</c><00:04:02.180><c> of</c><00:04:02.300><c> the</c><00:04:02.479><c> Apostles,</c>

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.099
I<00:04:02.979><c> think</c><00:04:03.099><c> you</c><00:04:03.219><c> can</c><00:04:03.439><c> see</c><00:04:03.560><c> that</c><00:04:03.699><c> this</c><00:04:03.879><c> is</c>

00:04:04.099 --> 00:04:06.620

00:04:20.699 --> 00:04:27.220

If<00:10:07.120><c> we're</c><00:10:07.899><c> going</c><00:10:08.200><c> through</c><00:10:08.500><c> tough</c><00:10:08.779><c> times,</c><00:10:10.799><c> would</c><00:10:11.000><c> we</c><00:10:11.220><c> not</c><00:10:11.399><c> be</c>

first<00:10:15.100><c> mentioned?</c>

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:19.299
But<00:10:17.440><c> Paul</c><00:10:17.600><c> doesn't</c><00:10:17.799><c> do</c><00:10:18.000><c> that.</c>

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:21.240

00:10:21.259 --> 00:10:25.159
They<00:10:21.419><c> killed</c><00:10:21.639><c> Jesus,</c><00:10:23.019><c> you</c><00:10:23.320><c> see,</c><00:10:23.820><c> and</c><00:10:24.299><c> they</c><00:10:24.460><c> killed</c><00:10:24.659><c> Jesus.</c>

00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:26.940
They<00:10:25.559><c> killed</c><00:10:25.700><c> their</c><00:10:26.039><c> prophets.</c>

00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:28.419
They<00:10:27.600><c> persecuted</c><00:10:28.080><c> us.</c>

00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.440
We're<00:10:28.919><c> down</c><00:10:29.360><c> on</c><00:10:29.500><c> the</c><00:10:29.580><c> bottom</c><00:10:29.840><c> of</c><00:10:30.019><c> the</c><00:10:30.139><c> list,</c><00:10:30.360><c> he</c><00:10:30.519><c> says.</c>

And<00:10:32.740><c> I</c><00:10:32.779><c> think</c><00:10:32.919><c> that's</c><00:10:33.200><c> Paul's</c><00:10:33.639><c> perspective,</c><00:10:34.059><c> and</c><00:10:34.120><c> maybe</c><00:10:34.320><c> that's</c><00:10:34.600><c> the</c>

00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.000

just<00:10:46.679><c> takes</c><00:10:47.000><c> it</c><00:10:47.200><c> in</c><00:10:47.460><c> order.</c>

00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.679

This<00:10:59.600><c> is</c><00:10:59.720><c> why</c><00:10:59.860><c> they</c><00:11:00.019><c> were</c><00:11:00.240><c> contrary</c><00:11:00.919><c> to</c><00:11:01.179><c> all</c><00:11:01.480><c> men.</c>

00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.879
we<00:14:52.440><c> would</c><00:14:52.740><c> have</c><00:14:52.960><c> come</c><00:14:53.159><c> unto</c><00:14:53.320><c> you,</c><00:14:53.460><c> even</c><00:14:53.720><c> I,</c><00:14:54.120><c> Paul,</c><00:14:54.500><c> once</c><00:14:54.740><c> and</c><00:14:54.980><c> again.</c>

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.740
But<00:14:56.279><c> Satan</c><00:14:56.820><c> hindered</c><00:14:57.600><c> us.</c>

00:14:58.940 --> 00:15:00.039
Satan<00:14:59.340><c> hindered</c><00:14:59.820><c> us.</c>

00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.419
The<00:15:00.779><c> adversary</c><00:15:01.720><c> hindered</c><00:15:02.200><c> us,</c><00:15:02.360><c> he's</c><00:15:02.600><c> saying.</c>

00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:05.259
And<00:15:03.860><c> I</c><00:15:03.899><c> think</c><00:15:04.019><c> what</c><00:15:04.120><c> he's</c><00:15:04.360><c> speaking</c><00:15:04.539><c> of,</c><00:15:04.799><c> he</c><00:15:04.799><c> could</c><00:15:04.940><c> have</c><00:15:05.080><c> been</c>

00:15:06.460 --> 00:15:12.840
it<00:15:06.559><c> was</c><00:15:06.799><c> the</c><00:15:09.080><c> physical</c><00:15:09.639><c> maladies</c><00:15:10.340><c> that</c><00:15:11.159><c> Paul</c><00:15:11.500><c> had,</c><00:15:12.340><c> the</c><00:15:12.580><c> thorn</c>

of<00:15:15.320><c> Satan</c><00:15:15.559><c> that</c><00:15:15.759><c> was</c><00:15:15.960><c> to</c><00:15:16.340><c> buffer</c><00:15:16.600><c> them.</c>

00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:18.580
And<00:15:17.679><c> some</c><00:15:17.799><c> say</c><00:15:17.899><c> that</c><00:15:18.019><c> was</c><00:15:18.200><c> the</c><00:15:18.360><c> reason.</c>

00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:23.019
But<00:15:18.720><c> I'm</c><00:15:19.039><c> more</c><00:15:19.279><c> inclined</c><00:15:19.539><c> to</c><00:15:19.759><c> think</c><00:15:19.860><c> it</c><00:15:19.980><c> was</c><00:15:20.139><c> this</c><00:15:21.639><c> Jewish</c>

in<00:15:31.179><c> this</c><00:15:31.360><c> particular</c><00:15:33.100><c> case,</c><00:15:34.340><c> brethren</c>

salvation<00:15:40.759><c> were</c><00:15:42.019><c> the</c><00:15:42.259><c> Satans.</c>

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:44.860
Because<00:15:43.320><c> we</c><00:15:43.480><c> saw</c><00:15:43.659><c> how</c><00:15:43.820><c> this</c><00:15:44.019><c> has</c><00:15:44.240><c> worked</c><00:15:44.419><c> before.</c>

00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:48.419
We've<00:15:45.299><c> seen</c><00:15:45.500><c> the</c><00:15:45.779><c> pattern</c><00:15:46.299><c> repeat</c><00:15:47.059><c> itself</c><00:15:47.419><c> time</c><00:15:47.740><c> and</c><00:15:47.940><c> time</c><00:15:48.120><c> again.</c>

00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.980
And<00:15:48.559><c> it's</c><00:15:48.779><c> well</c><00:15:49.200><c> set</c><00:15:49.799><c> in</c><00:15:50.419><c> place</c><00:15:50.679><c> there.</c>

00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:52.779
So<00:15:51.460><c> Paul</c><00:15:51.639><c> couldn't</c><00:15:51.899><c> join</c><00:15:52.179><c> them.</c>

00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:55.580
He<00:15:53.419><c> couldn't</c><00:15:53.559><c> be</c><00:15:53.779><c> with</c><00:15:53.960><c> the</c><00:15:54.179><c> people</c><00:15:54.360><c> that</c><00:15:54.559><c> he</c><00:15:54.740><c> loved.</c>

00:15:55.779 --> 00:15:58.600
But<00:15:56.259><c> he</c><00:15:56.399><c> couldn't</c><00:15:56.679><c> put</c><00:15:56.899><c> them</c><00:15:57.039><c> out</c><00:15:57.200><c> of</c><00:15:57.299><c> his</c><00:15:57.539><c> mind.</c>

00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.399
That's<00:15:59.899><c> how</c><00:16:00.240><c> strong</c><00:16:00.600><c> the</c><00:16:00.879><c> connection</c><00:16:01.220><c> was.</c>

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.720
You<00:16:03.139><c> know,</c><00:16:03.179><c> some</c><00:16:03.320><c> people</c><00:16:03.539><c> can</c><00:16:03.679><c> say,</c><00:16:04.000><c> well,</c><00:16:04.019><c> I</c><00:16:04.200><c> just</c><00:16:04.440><c> can't,</c><00:16:05.320><c> I</c>

can't<00:16:06.059><c> come.</c>

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.679
I<00:16:06.419><c> can't</c><00:16:06.659><c> do</c><00:16:06.779><c> what</c><00:16:06.940><c> I</c><00:16:07.200><c> intended</c><00:16:07.419><c> to</c><00:16:07.679><c> do</c><00:16:08.019><c> and</c><00:16:08.259><c> just</c><00:16:08.440><c> kind</c><00:16:08.559><c> of</c><00:16:08.759><c> forget</c><00:16:08.940><c> it.</c>

00:16:10.419 --> 00:16:11.399
Paul<00:16:10.419><c> wasn't</c><00:16:10.600><c> like</c><00:16:10.879><c> that.</c>

00:16:11.580 --> 00:16:14.340
He<00:16:11.919><c> couldn't</c><00:16:12.259><c> put</c><00:16:12.440><c> it</c><00:16:12.659><c> out</c><00:16:12.799><c> of</c><00:16:12.899><c> his</c><00:16:13.220><c> mind.</c>

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:18.919
And<00:16:14.820><c> I</c><00:16:15.399><c> think</c><00:16:15.580><c> the</c><00:16:15.759><c> whole</c><00:16:15.980><c> thing</c><00:16:16.159><c> was</c><00:16:16.740><c> there's</c><00:16:17.700><c> a</c><00:16:17.879><c> distance.</c>

00:16:18.940 --> 00:16:22.879
We<00:16:18.940><c> have</c><00:16:19.179><c> family</c><00:16:19.639><c> that</c><00:16:20.620><c> that</c><00:16:21.179><c> lives</c><00:16:21.379><c> a</c><00:16:21.600><c> great</c><00:16:21.759><c> distance</c><00:16:22.159><c> from</c><00:16:22.440><c> us.</c>

00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.659
We<00:16:23.580><c> can't</c><00:16:23.919><c> put</c><00:16:24.120><c> them</c><00:16:24.299><c> out</c><00:16:24.460><c> of</c><00:16:24.559><c> our</c><00:16:24.799><c> mind,</c><00:16:25.320><c> but</c><00:16:26.240><c> we</c><00:16:26.340><c> don't</c><00:16:26.519><c> know</c>

00:16:26.659 --> 00:16:28.639
exactly<00:16:26.980><c> what's</c><00:16:27.259><c> going</c><00:16:27.460><c> on</c><00:16:27.740><c> there.</c>

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:31.480
So<00:16:28.879><c> your</c><00:16:29.000><c> mind</c><00:16:29.200><c> is</c><00:16:29.419><c> always</c><00:16:29.740><c> kind</c><00:16:29.960><c> of</c><00:16:30.539><c> churning</c><00:16:30.840><c> over</c><00:16:31.200><c> these</c>

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.559
circumstances<00:16:32.159><c> and</c><00:16:32.320><c> just</c><00:16:32.519><c> wondering,</c><00:16:32.860><c> are</c><00:16:32.899><c> they</c><00:16:33.120><c> all</c><00:16:33.399><c> right?</c>

00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:35.720
And<00:16:33.720><c> we</c><00:16:34.100><c> have</c><00:16:34.240><c> a</c><00:16:34.500><c> phone</c><00:16:34.679><c> call.</c><00:16:34.899><c> Yeah,</c><00:16:35.039><c> I'm</c><00:16:35.240><c> all</c><00:16:35.440><c> right.</c>

00:16:35.820 --> 00:16:38.980
And<00:16:36.240><c> you</c><00:16:36.460><c> hear</c><00:16:36.580><c> a</c><00:16:36.679><c> little</c><00:16:36.879><c> tone</c><00:16:37.200><c> that</c><00:16:37.340><c> just</c><00:16:37.539><c> kind</c><00:16:37.679><c> of</c><00:16:37.799><c> gets</c><00:16:37.899><c> you</c><00:16:38.159><c> thinking.</c>

00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.120
And<00:16:39.399><c> I</c><00:16:40.200><c> think</c><00:16:40.340><c> this</c><00:16:40.559><c> is</c><00:16:40.679><c> what</c><00:16:40.759><c> it</c><00:16:40.899><c> was</c><00:16:41.000><c> with</c><00:16:41.200><c> Paul.</c>

00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:43.179
He<00:16:42.379><c> couldn't</c><00:16:42.679><c> see</c><00:16:43.019><c> them.</c>

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:43.700
He<00:16:43.259><c> couldn't.</c>

00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.059
It<00:16:44.120><c> was</c><00:16:44.320><c> no</c><00:16:44.639><c> face</c><00:16:44.860><c> to</c><00:16:45.059><c> face.</c>

00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:49.080
So<00:16:46.419><c> there</c><00:16:46.519><c> was</c><00:16:46.700><c> this</c><00:16:47.000><c> constant</c><00:16:47.700><c> concern</c><00:16:48.419><c> for</c><00:16:48.820><c> them.</c>

00:16:49.179 --> 00:16:50.799
And<00:16:49.379><c> he</c><00:16:49.519><c> couldn't</c><00:16:49.720><c> cover</c><00:16:49.980><c> those</c><00:16:50.259><c> concerns.</c>

00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.039
He<00:16:51.539><c> couldn't</c><00:16:51.820><c> hold</c><00:16:52.139><c> them</c><00:16:52.379><c> in.</c>

00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:57.399
You<00:16:53.360><c> see,</c><00:16:53.539><c> as</c><00:16:53.659><c> chapter</c><00:16:53.960><c> three</c><00:16:54.259><c> begins,</c><00:16:56.639><c> he</c><00:16:56.700><c> says,</c><00:16:57.120><c> wherefore,</c>

00:16:57.419 --> 00:16:59.919
when<00:16:57.559><c> we</c><00:16:57.740><c> could</c><00:16:57.940><c> no</c><00:16:58.299><c> longer</c><00:16:58.779><c> forbear,</c>

00:17:00.059 --> 00:17:03.399
I<00:17:00.440><c> guess</c><00:17:00.600><c> we</c><00:17:00.759><c> would</c><00:17:00.899><c> say</c><00:17:01.139><c> I</c><00:17:01.460><c> couldn't</c><00:17:01.759><c> stand</c><00:17:02.080><c> it</c><00:17:02.220><c> any</c><00:17:02.480><c> longer.</c>

00:17:03.659 --> 00:17:04.700
That's<00:17:03.919><c> what</c><00:17:04.039><c> Paul</c><00:17:04.279><c> is</c><00:17:04.519><c> saying.</c>

00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.180

00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:29.720
But<00:24:27.039><c> when</c><00:24:27.079><c> it</c><00:24:27.200><c> begins</c><00:24:27.460><c> to</c><00:24:27.819><c> set,</c><00:24:29.079><c> all</c><00:24:29.200><c> of</c><00:24:29.299><c> a</c><00:24:29.299><c> sudden</c><00:24:29.339><c> you</c><00:24:29.460><c> can't</c>

00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:32.980
It's<00:24:30.619><c> too</c><00:24:31.019><c> stiff.</c><00:24:31.819><c> It's</c><00:24:32.160><c> beyond</c><00:24:32.480><c> that</c><00:24:32.819><c> point.</c>

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:35.599
You<00:24:33.039><c> say,</c><00:24:33.220><c> well,</c><00:24:33.359><c> I'm</c><00:24:33.740><c> stuck</c><00:24:33.920><c> with</c><00:24:34.059><c> what</c><00:24:34.180><c> I've</c><00:24:34.440><c> got</c><00:24:34.579><c> now.</c>

00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.500
But<00:24:36.400><c> when</c><00:24:36.579><c> it</c><00:24:36.740><c> becomes</c><00:24:37.000><c> real</c><00:24:37.380><c> hard,</c><00:24:37.859><c> it's</c><00:24:38.180><c> set</c><00:24:38.440><c> fast.</c>

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:43.000
And<00:24:40.420><c> that's</c><00:24:40.539><c> what</c><00:24:40.700><c> Paul</c><00:24:40.920><c> was</c><00:24:41.140><c> asking</c><00:24:41.400><c> Timothy</c><00:24:41.779><c> to</c><00:24:42.099><c> do,</c>

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:47.119

to<00:24:47.279><c> get</c><00:24:47.380><c> their</c><00:24:47.680><c> feet</c><00:24:48.059><c> firmly</c><00:24:48.740><c> set</c><00:24:49.160><c> in</c><00:24:49.380><c> the</c><00:24:49.559><c> way.</c>

00:24:51.259 --> 00:24:52.680
Like<00:24:51.660><c> cement.</c>

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.220
So<00:24:53.140><c> he's</c><00:24:53.319><c> saying</c><00:24:53.440><c> turn</c><00:24:53.720><c> them</c><00:24:54.960><c> resolutely</c><00:24:55.579><c> in</c><00:24:55.819><c> a</c><00:24:56.000><c> certain</c>

00:24:57.460 --> 00:25:00.539
He's<00:24:57.720><c> going</c><00:24:57.839><c> to</c><00:24:58.079><c> establish</c><00:24:58.400><c> them,</c><00:24:58.819><c> to</c><00:24:58.940><c> comfort</c><00:24:59.180><c> them</c><00:24:59.420><c> concerning</c><00:24:59.819><c> the</c><00:25:00.160><c> faith.</c>

00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:04.400
And<00:25:01.279><c> this</c><00:25:02.519><c> same</c><00:25:02.859><c> word</c><00:25:03.019><c> is</c><00:25:03.200><c> used</c><00:25:03.339><c> in</c><00:25:03.519><c> other</c><00:25:03.700><c> places</c><00:25:03.960><c> in</c><00:25:04.119><c> Scripture.</c>

00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:08.440
Obviously<00:25:04.859><c> the</c><00:25:05.099><c> echoes</c><00:25:05.400><c> that</c><00:25:05.579><c> we</c><00:25:05.779><c> talk</c><00:25:06.000><c> about</c><00:25:06.299><c> with</c><00:25:07.420><c> Jesus,</c>

00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:13.740
He<00:25:10.700><c> says,</c><00:25:10.940><c> when</c><00:25:10.980><c> you</c><00:25:11.140><c> are</c><00:25:11.299><c> converted,</c><00:25:12.480><c> strengthen</c><00:25:12.779><c> your</c><00:25:13.460><c> brethren.</c>

He<00:31:44.680><c> says,</c><00:31:44.920><c> For</c><00:31:44.960><c> now</c><00:31:45.420><c> we</c><00:31:45.799><c> live</c><00:31:46.319><c> if</c><00:31:47.000><c> ye</c><00:31:47.339><c> stand</c><00:31:47.799><c> fast</c><00:31:48.200><c> in</c><00:31:48.359><c> the</c><00:31:48.539><c> Lord.</c>

00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:51.480
That's<00:31:49.900><c> Paul's</c><00:31:50.319><c> attachment</c><00:31:50.579><c> to</c><00:31:50.759><c> the</c><00:31:50.900><c> Ecclesia,</c><00:31:51.299><c> brethren</c>

00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.619
He<00:31:53.319><c> says,</c><00:31:53.400><c> I'm</c><00:31:53.700><c> all</c><00:31:53.859><c> right</c><00:31:53.960><c> if</c><00:31:54.079><c> you're</c><00:31:54.400><c> all</c><00:31:54.579><c> right.</c>

00:31:56.140 --> 00:31:58.339

00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.380
that<00:32:07.740><c> what</c><00:32:07.980><c> we</c><00:32:08.500><c> were</c><00:32:08.680><c> concerned</c><00:32:09.099><c> about</c><00:32:09.380><c> really</c><00:32:09.720><c> isn't</c><00:32:09.859><c> a</c><00:32:10.000><c> concern</c>

00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:11.240
and<00:32:10.500><c> they're</c><00:32:10.779><c> all</c><00:32:10.940><c> right.</c>

00:32:11.420 --> 00:32:13.819
And<00:32:11.579><c> we</c><00:32:11.680><c> say,</c><00:32:11.880><c> well,</c><00:32:12.400><c> we're</c><00:32:12.700><c> all</c><00:32:12.799><c> right</c><00:32:12.900><c> if</c><00:32:13.039><c> you're</c><00:32:13.240><c> all</c><00:32:13.460><c> right.</c>

And<00:32:14.400><c> Paul</c><00:32:14.519><c> says,</c><00:32:15.059><c> I</c><00:32:15.400><c> live</c><00:32:15.960><c> if</c><00:32:17.000><c> you</c><00:32:17.259><c> stand</c><00:32:17.579><c> fast</c>

00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:20.220
because<00:32:19.039><c> he</c><00:32:19.259><c> put</c><00:32:19.359><c> them</c><00:32:19.519><c> in</c><00:32:19.660><c> the</c><00:32:19.819><c> way.</c>

00:32:20.660 --> 00:32:24.380
He<00:32:20.859><c> wants</c><00:32:21.119><c> them</c><00:32:21.299><c> to</c><00:32:21.819><c> stay</c><00:32:22.519><c> faithful</c><00:32:23.420><c> in</c><00:32:23.619><c> the</c><00:32:23.759><c> way.</c>

00:32:24.380 --> 00:32:25.859
And<00:32:25.079><c> that's</c><00:32:25.339><c> his</c><00:32:25.559><c> life.</c>

00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:27.160
That's<00:32:26.160><c> the</c><00:32:26.319><c> life</c><00:32:26.559><c> of</c><00:32:26.920><c> Paul.</c>

00:32:27.500 --> 00:32:29.700
That's<00:32:27.839><c> the</c><00:32:28.099><c> work</c><00:32:28.339><c> that</c><00:32:28.519><c> we</c><00:32:28.720><c> talked</c><00:32:28.900><c> about</c><00:32:29.200><c> singular.</c>

Not<00:32:30.259><c> works,</c><00:32:31.140><c> but</c><00:32:31.279><c> this</c><00:32:31.400><c> is</c><00:32:31.579><c> the</c><00:32:31.779><c> work</c><00:32:31.940><c> of</c><00:32:32.119><c> his</c><00:32:32.400><c> life.</c>

00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:36.819
It's<00:32:34.759><c> a</c><00:32:34.880><c> great</c><00:32:35.079><c> joy</c><00:32:35.359><c> to</c><00:32:35.599><c> him</c><00:32:35.720><c> in</c><00:32:35.859><c> this,</c><00:32:36.140><c> brethren</c><00:32:36.299><c> and</c><00:32:36.480><c> sisters.</c>

00:32:37.299 --> 00:32:39.680
And<00:32:37.539><c> I</c><00:32:37.619><c> think</c><00:32:37.799><c> that</c><00:32:37.980><c> we</c><00:32:38.099><c> should</c><00:32:38.500><c> be</c><00:32:38.660><c> able</c><00:32:38.839><c> to</c><00:32:39.079><c> relate</c><00:32:39.279><c> to</c><00:32:39.500><c> that</c>

00:32:47.460 --> 00:32:51.019
If<00:32:47.619><c> you're</c><00:32:47.779><c> doing</c><00:32:48.039><c> well,</c><00:32:48.579><c> we</c><00:32:49.380><c> feel</c><00:32:49.579><c> good</c><00:32:49.779><c> about</c><00:32:50.059><c> that.</c>

00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:53.500
We<00:32:51.660><c> live</c><00:32:51.940><c> if</c><00:32:52.099><c> you</c><00:32:52.319><c> stand</c><00:32:52.539><c> fast</c><00:32:52.880><c> in</c><00:32:53.019><c> the</c><00:32:53.200><c> Lord.</c>

There's<00:34:11.900><c> a</c><00:34:11.940><c> little</c><00:34:12.119><c> hint</c><00:34:12.360><c> there</c><00:34:12.579><c> that</c><00:34:12.719><c> there's</c><00:34:12.940><c> something</c><00:34:13.199><c> lacking.</c>

00:34:14.219 --> 00:34:15.239
Paul<00:34:14.380><c> would</c><00:34:14.559><c> like</c><00:34:14.679><c> to</c><00:34:14.880><c> be</c><00:34:15.039><c> there.</c>

00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:18.039
He'd<00:34:15.440><c> like</c><00:34:15.559><c> to</c><00:34:15.780><c> talk</c><00:34:15.900><c> about</c><00:34:16.099><c> these</c><00:34:16.420><c> things</c><00:34:16.960><c> face</c><00:34:17.300><c> to</c><00:34:17.500><c> face.</c>

00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:21.300
I<00:34:18.659><c> think</c><00:34:18.719><c> as</c><00:34:18.880><c> we</c><00:34:19.079><c> read</c><00:34:19.280><c> through</c><00:34:19.500><c> the</c><00:34:19.659><c> rest</c><00:34:19.860><c> of</c><00:34:20.440><c> 1</c><00:34:20.639><c> Thessalonians,</c>

00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:29.579
And<00:34:27.980><c> Paul</c><00:34:28.159><c> would</c><00:34:28.360><c> have</c><00:34:28.460><c> to</c><00:34:28.639><c> just</c><00:34:28.739><c> kind</c><00:34:28.860><c> of</c><00:34:29.179><c> straighten</c><00:34:29.340><c> those</c>

00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.000
These<00:34:31.079><c> things</c><00:34:31.239><c> were</c><00:34:31.760><c> a</c><00:34:32.000><c> lack</c><00:34:32.219><c> or</c><00:34:32.619><c> a</c><00:34:32.780><c> void</c><00:34:32.980><c> in</c><00:34:33.159><c> their</c><00:34:33.340><c> understanding,</c>

00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:40.739

00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:52.460
What<00:34:51.400><c> God</c><00:34:51.619><c> has</c><00:34:51.820><c> done</c><00:34:52.019><c> for</c><00:34:52.300><c> us,</c>

00:34:56.940 --> 00:34:59.480
And<00:34:57.179><c> God</c><00:34:57.400><c> knows</c><00:34:57.659><c> that,</c><00:34:57.960><c> too,</c><00:34:58.239><c> brethren</c><00:34:58.440><c> and</c><00:34:58.679><c> sisters.</c>

And<00:35:13.539><c> Paul's</c><00:35:13.980><c> joy</c><00:35:14.119><c> is</c><00:35:14.579><c> the</c><00:35:14.739><c> well</c><00:35:15.079><c>-being</c><00:35:15.260><c> of</c><00:35:15.480><c> somebody</c><00:35:15.739><c> else.</c>

00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:18.880
That's<00:35:16.300><c> what</c><00:35:16.440><c> we're</c><00:35:17.260><c> reading</c><00:35:17.519><c> about</c><00:35:17.880><c> here.</c>

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:19.860
And<00:35:19.119><c> it's</c><00:35:19.320><c> a</c><00:35:19.440><c> great</c><00:35:19.619><c> thing.</c>

00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.800

00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:06.800

I<00:36:26.320><c> think</c><00:36:26.440><c> we</c><00:36:26.559><c> can</c><00:36:27.159><c> understand</c><00:36:27.639><c> that</c><00:36:27.880><c> because</c><00:36:28.079><c> that's</c><00:36:28.340><c> part</c><00:36:28.639><c> of</c>

00:36:29.260 --> 00:36:31.159
the<00:36:29.500><c> word</c><00:36:29.920><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:34.300
And<00:36:31.719><c> that</c><00:36:32.159><c> word</c><00:36:32.440><c> means</c><00:36:32.760><c> from</c><00:36:33.219><c> or</c><00:36:33.519><c> out</c><00:36:33.840><c> of.</c>

00:36:34.380 --> 00:36:36.260
You<00:36:34.380><c> know,</c><00:36:34.599><c> the</c><00:36:34.760><c> ecclesia</c><00:36:35.099><c> is</c><00:36:35.400><c> called</c><00:36:35.619><c> out.</c>

00:36:36.260 --> 00:36:38.320
And<00:36:36.780><c> ec</c><00:36:37.420><c> is</c><00:36:37.559><c> part</c><00:36:37.900><c> of</c><00:36:38.059><c> that.</c>

00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:43.679
And<00:36:38.599><c> the</c><00:36:38.679><c> last</c><00:36:38.880><c> part</c><00:36:39.159><c> of</c><00:36:39.260><c> it,</c><00:36:39.539><c> the</c><00:36:39.760><c> third</c><00:36:40.340><c> Greek</c><00:36:41.019><c> word</c><00:36:41.420><c> is</c><00:36:42.199><c> perissos.</c>

00:36:43.900 --> 00:36:48.079
That<00:36:44.079><c> means</c><00:36:44.420><c> beyond</c><00:36:45.099><c> or</c><00:36:45.639><c> more</c><00:36:46.119><c> abundantly</c><00:36:46.679><c> or</c><00:36:46.940><c> excessive.</c>

00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:49.340
That's<00:36:48.519><c> the</c><00:36:48.639><c> meaning</c><00:36:48.820><c> of</c><00:36:49.019><c> it.</c>

00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:51.380
So<00:36:49.940><c> you</c><00:36:50.219><c> put</c><00:36:50.380><c> all</c><00:36:50.599><c> those</c><00:36:50.760><c> things</c><00:36:51.000><c> together,</c>

00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:53.340
and<00:36:51.519><c> I</c><00:36:51.559><c> guess</c><00:36:51.800><c> if</c><00:36:52.019><c> we</c><00:36:52.219><c> were</c><00:36:52.340><c> to</c><00:36:52.460><c> use</c><00:36:52.579><c> an</c><00:36:52.820><c> expression</c><00:36:53.179><c> that</c>

00:36:53.340 --> 00:36:55.000
we're<00:36:54.019><c> quite</c><00:36:54.280><c> familiar</c><00:36:54.699><c> with,</c>

00:36:58.460 --> 00:37:03.219
We<00:36:58.800><c> say</c><00:36:59.039><c> someone</c><00:36:59.360><c> has</c><00:36:59.659><c> gone</c><00:37:00.059><c> above</c><00:37:00.739><c> and</c><00:37:01.119><c> beyond</c><00:37:01.500><c> the</c><00:37:01.860><c> call</c><00:37:02.059><c> of</c><00:37:02.340><c> duty.</c>

00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:05.480
And<00:37:03.559><c> that's</c><00:37:03.739><c> what</c><00:37:03.860><c> Paul's</c><00:37:04.360><c> prayers</c><00:37:04.559><c> were.</c>

00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:09.119
When<00:37:06.300><c> the</c><00:37:06.820><c> word</c><00:37:07.059><c> exceedingly</c><00:37:07.860><c> is</c><00:37:08.139><c> used,</c>

00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:13.860
it's<00:37:09.840><c> above</c><00:37:10.260><c> and</c><00:37:10.760><c> beyond</c><00:37:11.579><c> anything</c><00:37:12.519><c> that</c><00:37:12.699><c> we</c><00:37:12.820><c> might</c><00:37:13.019><c> consider</c><00:37:13.360><c> necessary.</c>

00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:15.840
Paul<00:37:14.119><c> goes</c><00:37:14.360><c> beyond</c><00:37:14.739><c> that.</c>

00:37:16.460 --> 00:37:20.400
And<00:37:16.500><c> I</c><00:37:17.119><c> guess</c><00:37:17.300><c> you</c><00:37:17.420><c> could</c><00:37:17.719><c> take</c><00:37:17.960><c> the</c><00:37:18.199><c> expression</c><00:37:18.579><c> superabundant.</c>

00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:23.659
This<00:37:20.760><c> is</c><00:37:20.880><c> what</c><00:37:21.000><c> he</c><00:37:21.280><c> was</c><00:37:21.500><c> in</c><00:37:22.380><c> his</c><00:37:22.639><c> prayers.</c>

00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:27.820
To<00:37:24.079><c> see</c><00:37:24.320><c> their</c><00:37:24.579><c> face,</c><00:37:25.800><c> to</c><00:37:25.940><c> perfect</c><00:37:26.280><c> that</c><00:37:26.539><c> which</c><00:37:26.659><c> is</c><00:37:26.960><c> lacking.</c>

00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:28.880
This<00:37:28.119><c> is</c><00:37:28.239><c> what</c><00:37:28.340><c> he</c><00:37:28.460><c> wants</c><00:37:28.679><c> to</c><00:37:28.820><c> do.</c>

00:37:28.900 --> 00:37:31.500
I<00:37:28.980><c> wonder</c><00:37:29.159><c> if</c><00:37:29.219><c> there's</c><00:37:29.480><c> a</c><00:37:29.619><c> hint,</c><00:37:29.800><c> just</c><00:37:30.059><c> a</c><00:37:30.199><c> hint</c><00:37:30.320><c> of</c><00:37:30.559><c> a</c><00:37:30.719><c> problem</c><00:37:31.019><c> there.</c>

00:37:31.500 --> 00:37:35.760
But<00:37:32.179><c> we</c><00:37:34.199><c> won't</c><00:37:34.400><c> deal</c><00:37:34.599><c> with</c><00:37:34.780><c> that</c><00:37:34.900><c> now,</c><00:37:35.280><c> brothers</c><00:37:35.360><c> and</c><00:37:35.579><c> sisters,</c>

00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:39.860
and<00:37:35.900><c> I</c><00:37:35.940><c> don't</c><00:37:36.119><c> think</c><00:37:36.219><c> we'll</c><00:37:36.400><c> deal</c><00:37:36.559><c> with</c><00:37:36.739><c> it</c><00:37:37.659><c> in</c><00:37:38.019><c> the</c><00:37:38.420><c> exhortation</c><00:37:38.940><c> either.</c>

00:37:40.340 --> 00:37:44.960
But<00:37:40.340><c> you</c><00:37:40.500><c> know,</c><00:37:40.960><c> yesterday</c><00:37:41.639><c> in</c><00:37:43.340><c> chapter</c><00:37:43.760><c> two,</c>

00:37:50.179 --> 00:37:53.440
We<00:37:50.360><c> saw</c><00:37:50.519><c> that</c><00:37:50.739><c> Paul</c><00:37:51.000><c> considers</c><00:37:51.400><c> himself</c><00:37:51.760><c> a</c><00:37:52.019><c> mother,</c><00:37:52.739><c> a</c><00:37:53.000><c> father,</c>

00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:56.000
This<00:41:54.980><c> is</c><00:41:55.179><c> part</c><00:41:55.340><c> of</c><00:41:55.500><c> the</c><00:41:55.719><c> prayer.</c>

00:42:09.739 --> 00:42:12.400
Sometimes<00:42:10.079><c> it's</c><00:42:10.219><c> just</c><00:42:10.380><c> the</c><00:42:10.599><c> offering</c><00:42:10.840><c> of</c><00:42:11.159><c> thanks</c><00:42:11.380><c> to</c><00:42:11.559><c> God.</c>

00:42:13.340 --> 00:42:15.980

00:42:23.380 --> 00:42:25.320
And<00:42:23.519><c> what</c><00:42:23.659><c> we've</c><00:42:23.880><c> got</c><00:42:24.000><c> to</c><00:42:24.159><c> do</c><00:42:24.320><c> then</c>

00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:28.880

00:42:29.340 --> 00:42:31.019
And<00:42:29.539><c> that's</c><00:42:29.659><c> what</c><00:42:29.840><c> Paul</c><00:42:30.099><c> does.</c>

00:42:31.179 --> 00:42:34.940
I<00:42:31.320><c> don't</c><00:42:31.420><c> know</c><00:42:31.519><c> how</c><00:42:31.659><c> many</c><00:42:31.880><c> times</c><00:42:32.179><c> I've</c><00:42:33.659><c> seated</c><00:42:33.840><c> myself</c><00:42:34.320><c> at</c><00:42:34.500><c> my</c><00:42:34.739><c> desk</c>

00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:42.539
And<00:42:41.480><c> it</c><00:42:41.599><c> just</c><00:42:41.860><c> doesn't</c><00:42:42.280><c> come.</c>

00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:43.800

00:42:43.860 --> 00:42:45.139
And<00:42:43.920><c> I</c><00:42:44.000><c> say,</c><00:42:44.139><c> I</c><00:42:44.380><c> haven't</c><00:42:44.679><c> prayed.</c>

00:42:47.860 --> 00:42:51.099
And<00:42:47.860><c> it's</c><00:42:49.000><c> sometimes</c><00:42:49.460><c> before</c><00:42:49.860><c> the</c><00:42:50.119><c> amen,</c>
