WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.720
 We'll dive in together.

00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:11.980
 Our Father in Heaven, we come to you, Lord, and we pray that your Spirit would be with us, Lord.

00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:21.199
 Father, that we would begin to resemble you and your love for us, welcoming us,

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.820
 and Lord, that you would make us a people that would resemble your own character

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:33.340
 as we increasingly model Jesus' love for others.

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:35.560
 Help us do that, Lord, in our time together.

00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:44.200
 We pray that this would be just an encouraging, edifying discussion together

00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:49.900
 where we can sort of bear each other's burdens and we can talk together and be transparent.

00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:52.840
 And I pray this to your honor and glory in Jesus' name.

00:00:53.659 --> 00:00:53.900
 Amen.

00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:54.460
 Amen.

00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:56.380
 Amen.

00:00:56.820 --> 00:00:56.939
 Amen.

00:00:58.500 --> 00:00:59.939
 I'm Kirsten Walker.

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.500
 There's a couple of you I don't know.

00:01:03.859 --> 00:01:07.879
 I am in supervisory role.

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:09.560
 I hate saying in charge of.

00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:14.840
 There's many people, but I oversee the fellowship ministry of this church.

00:01:15.579 --> 00:01:21.900
 I want you to take a look, if you can, if you have to stand up, at what's on this table up here.

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:23.920
 And this is not a trick question.

00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.080
 Volunteer, tell me what you see.

00:01:28.460 --> 00:01:31.060
 There's some dishes here.

00:01:31.219 --> 00:01:32.460
 There's some paper goods here.

00:01:32.740 --> 00:01:34.020
 Granola bar and a water bottle.

00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:35.640
 And there's a watch right here.

00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:37.380
 Tell me what you see.

00:01:37.379 --> 00:01:40.239
 What do you think this is?

00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.399
 What's your guess?

00:01:42.399 --> 00:01:43.920
 No wrong answers.

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:45.799
 It could be a simple...

00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:46.299
 Preparation for eating.

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:46.899
 Right.

00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:48.079
 Preparation for eating.

00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:48.479
 Right.

00:01:48.699 --> 00:01:49.840
 Fellowshiping together.

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:51.199
 Sharing a meal.

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:52.359
 What else do you see?

00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.140
 Formal versus informal.

00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:57.000
 Formal versus informal.

00:01:57.219 --> 00:02:00.980
 You've got a very formal place setting here with China dishes.

00:02:02.299 --> 00:02:04.200
 You've got a paper plate.

00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:07.900
 A granola bar and a water bottle.

00:02:08.699 --> 00:02:09.740
 And a watch.

00:02:11.219 --> 00:02:18.219
 Over the next four weeks, we're going to talk a lot about different elements of hospitality and what it means.

00:02:18.219 --> 00:02:24.800
 It could mean entertaining in your home with your best dishes.

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.699
 By the way, these are from Norway and they are my best dishes.

00:02:29.079 --> 00:02:29.819
 There are some...

00:02:29.819 --> 00:02:34.099
 I didn't bring the antique antiques, but these are very, very special dishes.

00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:37.400
 Including silver.

00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:38.240
 It all matches.

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.280
 It's called bundemunster, which means farmer's rose.

00:02:43.939 --> 00:02:48.159
 Believe it or not, a place setting when my grandmother started collecting them cost $5.

00:02:48.219 --> 00:02:49.639
 for a complete place setting.

00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.639
 It was considered everyday dishes.

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.379
 Then you have what we do here at church.

00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:56.159
 Paper goods.

00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:56.900
 Right.

00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:58.620
 Well, that could also be...

00:02:58.620 --> 00:02:59.939
 We do this often, right?

00:03:00.020 --> 00:03:02.139
 We share meals and we use paper goods.

00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:12.719
 Also, fellowship or hospitality can mean something as simple as giving someone a bottle of water in a granola bar

00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.139
 when they're a little bit hungry.

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.439
 But what's this one all about?

00:03:18.219 --> 00:03:20.099
 I'm not giving away my watch.

00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:22.159
 All right?

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:23.680
 Somebody might need to tell the time.

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.620
 What could this have to do with hospitality or fellowship?

00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:28.780
 Hospitality.

00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:30.199
 What's a watch?

00:03:31.579 --> 00:03:32.759
 It takes a lot of time.

00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.159
 It takes time.

00:03:34.359 --> 00:03:35.659
 It can take a lot of time.

00:03:36.179 --> 00:03:44.359
 It can also take five minutes to say hello to someone and give them your time to listen,

00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.739
 to extend a welcome, to greet someone at church on a Sunday morning.

00:03:48.740 --> 00:03:52.740
 That's what we're going to be talking about over the next four weeks.

00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:53.480
 Yes.

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.620
 And this is our class, Hospitality, Evangelism, and the Great Commission.

00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.820
 And Christians are to be witnesses.

00:04:01.819 --> 00:04:05.199
 From the beginning of Acts, Jesus said to his disciples,

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.819
 You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

00:04:14.099 --> 00:04:16.579
 And the Great Commission is you will go make disciples,

00:04:17.579 --> 00:04:19.639
 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you,

00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:24.019
 baptizing them in the one name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

00:04:24.019 --> 00:04:27.939
 So as a question for us to consider together,

00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:33.060
 what do you think will be the key to fulfilling the Great Commission in the 21st century?

00:04:35.099 --> 00:04:36.079
 Here are some ideas.

00:04:39.899 --> 00:04:41.519
 We're not going to lecture to you.

00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:43.519
 This is interactive.

00:04:43.659 --> 00:04:46.019
 You have the right to say whatever comes up on your mind.

00:04:46.719 --> 00:04:47.879
 A sleek website.

00:04:48.219 --> 00:04:48.719
 How about that?

00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:49.740
 Anything else?

00:04:54.019 --> 00:04:55.019
 Nothing.

00:04:57.959 --> 00:04:58.339
 I don't know.

00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.639
 I would say developing relationships with people.

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:01.259
 Okay.

00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:01.560
 All right.

00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:01.680
 Yeah.

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:02.139
 Yeah.

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:02.919
 Relationships.

00:05:03.019 --> 00:05:03.459
 Thanks, Amanda.

00:05:04.459 --> 00:05:04.680
 Mm-hmm.

00:05:05.579 --> 00:05:06.620
 Friendly conversation.

00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:07.459
 Mm-hmm.

00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:08.000
 Yeah.

00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:09.620
 Yeah.

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:11.019
 Friendly conversation.

00:05:11.719 --> 00:05:12.759
 Being friendly to others.

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.039
 I think going off of what you said with the internet,

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:21.819
 a huge portion of the things that I do are completely through social media.

00:05:22.359 --> 00:05:22.639
 Okay.

00:05:22.799 --> 00:05:24.000
 So I think...

00:05:24.019 --> 00:05:25.039
 with our culture,

00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:26.859
 we're at that with...

00:05:26.859 --> 00:05:27.379
 Mm-hmm.

00:05:27.699 --> 00:05:29.699
 social media and various...

00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:31.719
 It's a huge tool.

00:05:32.139 --> 00:05:32.680
 It is.

00:05:33.139 --> 00:05:33.339
 Yeah.

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:33.859
 Yeah.

00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:41.259
 I think it's Christians practicing the virtues of transparency,

00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.259
 honesty, genuineness, and hospitality.

00:05:45.620 --> 00:05:45.819
 Hmm.

00:05:46.219 --> 00:05:46.839
 Thanks, brother.

00:05:47.379 --> 00:05:47.699
 All right.

00:05:47.699 --> 00:05:48.299
 Class is done.

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:48.759
 Yeah.

00:05:49.599 --> 00:05:49.879
 Okay.

00:05:50.359 --> 00:05:53.000
 I mean, that hits the nail on the head.

00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:53.439
 It does.

00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:53.639
 Yes.

00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:54.160
 It does.

00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:54.339
 Exactly.

00:05:54.339 --> 00:05:54.360
 It does.

00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:54.620
 It does.

00:05:54.620 --> 00:06:00.240
 And our contention in this class is the key to 21st century evangelism is going to be the

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.800
 church showing hospitality.

00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.160
 That's an overstatement.

00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.879
 I mean, that's a big, large statement that we're making.

00:06:07.020 --> 00:06:14.139
 But that is our conviction, is that hospitality will be the key to evangelism in the 21st century

00:06:14.139 --> 00:06:18.120
 in a post-Christian culture of ours.

00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:25.120
 So, Kirsten, you were the one that, and Kathy and Jess, you were the ones that came to the

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.780
 elders and said, we need to have this class.

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.500
 So, why are we teaching this course?

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:31.240
 Why now?

00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:35.360
 I started coming here in 2007.

00:06:35.860 --> 00:06:41.480
 I came from a big church that was very family-oriented, that had multi-generations.

00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:48.819
 Everything that we did intergenerationally was usually revolving around food.

00:06:49.780 --> 00:06:54.480
 There's nothing like breaking bread together, sharing a meal with someone.

00:06:54.540 --> 00:06:55.639
 It's a common denominator.

00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:56.840
 We all need to eat.

00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.199
 It doesn't matter whether we agree on anything.

00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.199
 We need to eat to survive.

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:09.099
 And I felt like this church was struggling in some ways with practicing hospitality and

00:07:09.099 --> 00:07:16.419
 showing that we can fellowship among various different ethnic groups, social groups, people

00:07:16.419 --> 00:07:19.919
 from different religious and denominational backgrounds.

00:07:20.359 --> 00:07:26.539
 And so, it really started coming with this conversation with Kathy Abbott when I met her.

00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:34.439
 A pastor's wife, Jess Serbo, who is a little bit younger than me, but also grew up in a church with a lot of hospitality.

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:40.299
 And we were struggling, like, how do we express to people, we really need to do this?

00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:50.579
 Because people respond when they're welcomed in the Lord's name, in fellowship, within this new church that they might be coming to for the first time

00:07:50.579 --> 00:07:52.259
 or they've been coming to for 10 years.

00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:56.399
 But there's one key difference, and this is a question for you.

00:07:56.719 --> 00:08:00.180
 What's the difference between hospitality and entertaining?

00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:07.120
 She raised her hand.

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.160
 Hospitality comes from the heart.

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:14.980
 Entertaining is an event you structure and make happen.

00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:16.899
 Hospitality happens.

00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:17.680
 Yeah.

00:08:17.939 --> 00:08:21.300
 And that's a misconception a lot of people even in this culture have.

00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:23.860
 That they, well, I can't entertain.

00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:26.740
 Well, I'm not a clown up on stage.

00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.360
 I'm not a full production.

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:30.840
 That's different.

00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.919
 And it doesn't mean you don't do entertaining.

00:08:34.259 --> 00:08:37.159
 It doesn't mean that you can't ever use that word.

00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:42.559
 But what we're striving for here at Trinity, and I hope many of you do in your own homes,

00:08:42.699 --> 00:08:47.120
 is to offer hospitality and not be hung up on entertaining.

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.279
 Because there's a whole different connotation to that word.

00:08:50.659 --> 00:08:54.539
 Kirsten, what would you say to someone who might be thinking,

00:08:54.939 --> 00:08:58.759
 well, it's obvious that you're gifted in hospitality.

00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.919
 As for me, I'm hospitality challenged.

00:09:02.659 --> 00:09:05.399
 And not only that, it's like you're asking me to fly.

00:09:05.860 --> 00:09:08.279
 It's not that I, it's hard, it's just impossible.

00:09:08.539 --> 00:09:10.600
 Like, I can't be hospitable.

00:09:10.779 --> 00:09:11.480
 I can't do it.

00:09:12.220 --> 00:09:15.439
 I think, I think people have said that to me before.

00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:16.679
 I can't do what you do.

00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:18.500
 Well, thank God you can't.

00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.059
 When the music team comes down during one of the events and they say,

00:09:22.439 --> 00:09:26.840
 oh, we're so glad that you've got the hot coffee or the tea or the cold water or the Tylenol at times.

00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.460
 I'm like, you know what?

00:09:28.580 --> 00:09:30.120
 I'm glad you do music.

00:09:30.300 --> 00:09:30.960
 I make coffee.

00:09:31.139 --> 00:09:32.300
 I can't do that.

00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:35.180
 God's given us specific talents and gifts.

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.660
 I am not gifted in music.

00:09:38.180 --> 00:09:38.780
 I love it.

00:09:38.920 --> 00:09:43.360
 But don't ask me a B from a C to, you know, it just, I don't know.

00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.639
 I know in grades what A, B, C, D is.

00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.960
 And that's, that's something, you know, God made us all different.

00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:50.580
 I'm glad you're not like me.

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:52.259
 We don't need another me.

00:09:53.059 --> 00:09:53.819
 We really don't.

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.659
 We don't need another you or you or you because it would be really, really boring.

00:09:58.379 --> 00:10:00.259
 And we'd probably never had a good cup of coffee.

00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:07.399
 So, Kirsten, just to be clear, you're saying you don't need to be an expert at cooking to be hospitable?

00:10:08.419 --> 00:10:08.779
 No.

00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:10.779
 That's where social media comes in, Jamie.

00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:11.179
 Okay.

00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:11.500
 All right.

00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:12.500
 Let's make it short.

00:10:12.500 --> 00:10:15.879
 Because we follow now in the 21st century too much.

00:10:16.620 --> 00:10:22.220
 Martha Stewart, Pinterest, Marie Kondo, Tyler Florence, Food Network, British Baking Show.

00:10:22.539 --> 00:10:23.740
 And they show you.

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:25.000
 Just look at all the magazines.

00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.379
 There are still magazines at the checkout counters.

00:10:27.580 --> 00:10:29.500
 They all cost an arm and a leg to buy now.

00:10:29.740 --> 00:10:31.519
 Look at the spreads that they put out there.

00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.860
 Did anybody on their magazine put this for Thanksgiving?

00:10:35.419 --> 00:10:37.820
 It's almost like, uh-oh, you better not do that.

00:10:37.820 --> 00:10:46.260
 So, there is a difference in the culture where social media plays a role in sometimes misrepresenting to us as Christians.

00:10:46.680 --> 00:10:56.020
 If we're always trying to keep up with Martha Stewart or any other celebrity that you say, we're never going to make it.

00:10:56.460 --> 00:10:58.800
 Because there's always the next thing that comes around.

00:10:59.260 --> 00:11:01.300
 Or the next, I don't know, what is it right now?

00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.080
 It was kale for how many years, right?

00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:12.980
 And now it's like, you know, you have to have the right kind of truffles or you have to have the right kind of coffee or you have to have the right whatever, turmeric and everything right now.

00:11:13.160 --> 00:11:15.100
 And none of those things are bad.

00:11:15.180 --> 00:11:20.139
 But when you're trying to keep up with all of that, you're not offering hospitality anymore.

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:21.620
 And it becomes hard.

00:11:21.820 --> 00:11:22.820
 And that's why people quit.

00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:23.980
 I'm not doing this anymore.

00:11:24.020 --> 00:11:24.740
 I'm going out to eat.

00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:25.200
 Yeah.

00:11:25.420 --> 00:11:26.300
 Which is okay too.

00:11:26.299 --> 00:11:40.339
 So, it seems like one of the challenges is that when we think of hospitality and when we do hospitality, we're aiming to impress rather than to bless others.

00:11:41.299 --> 00:11:48.159
 And we often fall back into that category of entertainment that you're describing.

00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:59.559
 And that kind of, that makes sense because if you think about the popular definitions of hospitality in our culture, well, the hospitality industry is what?

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:00.439
 It's hotels.

00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:01.879
 It's restaurants.

00:12:02.319 --> 00:12:06.439
 It's Six Flags and theme parks and tourism, right?

00:12:06.579 --> 00:12:16.919
 Merriam-Webster defines hospitality as the activity or business of providing services to guests in hotels, restaurants, bars, et cetera, right?

00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.240
 So, you're offering a service to others.

00:12:20.099 --> 00:12:23.120
 And it's entertaining, special occasions.

00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:30.879
 But the Bible seems to have a different view of what hospitality involves.

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.459
 And that's where we want to dig into this class together.

00:12:35.319 --> 00:12:38.319
 You know, elders are called to be hospitable.

00:12:38.899 --> 00:12:40.959
 That's one of the qualifications for being an elder.

00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:48.920
 So, maybe what that means is, okay, each elder needs to have all the church members over for dinner at least once a year.

00:12:49.560 --> 00:12:53.000
 Maybe that's one of the qualifications for being an elder.

00:12:53.780 --> 00:13:00.740
 And, you know, there's an element of truth there, right, that an elder is meant to be welcoming.

00:13:00.740 --> 00:13:05.940
 But these are truncated views of what the Bible means by hospitality.

00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.100
 And so, the early church meant in homes, so it meant welcoming others.

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:18.500
 And before we go to the scriptures together, how would you describe the biblical meaning of hospitality?

00:13:20.139 --> 00:13:21.360
 We kind of heard it already.

00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.580
 It comes from the heart, right?

00:13:23.580 --> 00:13:25.540
 Anything else?

00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:29.400
 Like, how would you put contours around biblical hospitality?

00:13:29.900 --> 00:13:31.040
 What are we talking about here?

00:13:32.540 --> 00:13:37.840
 So, I think the word welcome and hospitable go together very nicely.

00:13:38.280 --> 00:13:43.040
 So, a hospitable elder is a welcoming elder.

00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:45.120
 Or any other churchman.

00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:45.780
 Yeah.

00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:46.639
 Yeah.

00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:49.500
 I think of Pastor Greg.

00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:55.039
 He was like a bird dog looking for people to welcome in the church.

00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:56.679
 And that's him being hospitable.

00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.440
 And he was really wonderful at that and an example to us.

00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.179
 So, yeah, welcoming is definitely one aspect of hospitality.

00:14:05.539 --> 00:14:13.759
 So, I grew up in a home where we never had company in, except for my mother's sister, who she fought with.

00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.340
 And there was a big, lots of tears and arguing every holiday.

00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:19.080
 Mm-hmm.

00:14:19.280 --> 00:14:24.680
 So, my experience of having people into my home was from the stress.

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.019
 Because I just needed to tell her what was going to happen.

00:14:27.700 --> 00:14:34.480
 Now, the Lord has brought me a long way since those days.

00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:42.220
 But, I think that Greg and Jane were one of the people who kind of showed me.

00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:46.440
 They pull napkins out of the drawer, none of them match.

00:14:46.820 --> 00:14:47.840
 Throw them on the table.

00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:54.080
 But, what they were doing was setting aside time to get to know you.

00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:54.700
 Mm-hmm.

00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:57.240
 Making room for you.

00:14:57.580 --> 00:14:57.879
 Mm-hmm.

00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:59.080
 Learning who you are.

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:05.080
 And then seeing where the conversation could go in terms of the gospel.

00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:12.520
 So, I just really am grateful for them and for all the experiences of hospitality that I've had since I've come to the Lord.

00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:13.240
 Amen.

00:15:13.580 --> 00:15:14.139
 Thank you.

00:15:14.820 --> 00:15:20.780
 I think one of the sub-definitions in the dictionary is welcoming to strangers and guests.

00:15:21.020 --> 00:15:21.420
 Mm-hmm.

00:15:21.419 --> 00:15:23.899
 And that's what many of us do.

00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:32.459
 But, what Susan just said is a very viable point of why some people shy away from hospitality.

00:15:33.539 --> 00:15:36.919
 Whereas, Greg and Jane, like I said, she said, pull out.

00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:37.719
 It didn't matter.

00:15:37.819 --> 00:15:40.439
 You just grabbed something and it didn't matter whether it matched or not.

00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:40.779
 Mm-hmm.

00:15:40.779 --> 00:15:44.679
 You know, when Zacchaeus was up in the tree, you all know the song from when you were kids.

00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:46.480
 Zacchaeus was a wee little man, right?

00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:48.879
 And Jesus said, I'm going to your house today.

00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.659
 Was Zacchaeus ready for Jesus' visit?

00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:53.279
 No.

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:55.960
 He just welcomed him.

00:15:56.439 --> 00:15:58.320
 And that is one of the biblical examples.

00:15:58.860 --> 00:16:06.279
 But, oftentimes, we also think that hospitality or practicing hospitality has to be in our homes.

00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.360
 That's not totally what hospitality means.

00:16:10.700 --> 00:16:10.879
 Mm-hmm.

00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:12.700
 You know, some people can do it.

00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:14.960
 Some people can do it in different stages of their life.

00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.740
 Some people will never do it because of whatever.

00:16:17.740 --> 00:16:18.440
 Mm-hmm.

00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.820
 And that's important to keep in your mind when we talk about hospitality.

00:16:22.400 --> 00:16:22.560
 Yeah.

00:16:22.880 --> 00:16:23.200
 John.

00:16:24.400 --> 00:16:34.360
 I think welcome is so important because I think that there's often an apprehension on the part of the guess that I'm going to be a burden.

00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:39.259
 And that fear is an obstacle that needs to be overcome.

00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:45.919
 One of the great examples, I think, of creating this welcome is the rule of St. Benedict.

00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:47.740
 So, you know, it's a treat.

00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:52.960
 When anyone would show up at the monastery at any hour.

00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:54.120
 It could be two in the morning.

00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:54.180
 It could be two in the morning.

00:16:54.920 --> 00:16:55.019
 It could be two in the morning.

00:16:55.019 --> 00:16:59.500
 In the rules of St. Benedict, as soon as they rang the bell, even two in the morning.

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:02.940
 the doorman was supposed to say

00:17:02.940 --> 00:17:05.079
 as loud as he could, thanks be to God.

00:17:07.140 --> 00:17:08.859
 Even if he were weary of all.

00:17:11.259 --> 00:17:12.920
 Because you can imagine the reluctance.

00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:16.339
 Oh no, oh this is going to be so big.

00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:18.700
 I believe such a burden.

00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:21.740
 And to immediately relieve that anxiety.

00:17:21.900 --> 00:17:23.480
 Thanks be to God, I guess.

00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:26.019
 Captures of the spirit of love.

00:17:26.019 --> 00:17:27.299
 Yeah, that's great.

00:17:29.500 --> 00:17:32.900
 Yeah, this idea of welcoming

00:17:32.900 --> 00:17:36.559
 is, it kind of captures it.

00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:38.799
 Let's look at some text together.

00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:40.779
 Because actually nowhere

00:17:40.779 --> 00:17:44.299
 does the Old Testament use the word hospitality.

00:17:46.579 --> 00:17:48.640
 And our word hospitality,

00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:49.859
 as we're going to see,

00:17:49.940 --> 00:17:51.299
 I don't know if you guys can see that,

00:17:51.380 --> 00:17:54.059
 is this Greek word

00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:56.880
 phylozenia.

00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.040
 And you'll see why that makes sense

00:18:00.040 --> 00:18:00.840
 in a second.

00:18:01.520 --> 00:18:03.880
 So let's look at the New Testament

00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:06.140
 and see what the New Testament

00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:07.400
 has to say about hospitality.

00:18:09.620 --> 00:18:11.400
 And it only mentions

00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:14.400
 the word in a few places.

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:16.040
 1 Peter 4.9

00:18:16.040 --> 00:18:18.700
 Be hospitable to one another

00:18:18.700 --> 00:18:19.540
 without complaint.

00:18:19.539 --> 00:18:27.159
 Hebrews 13.1 and 2

00:18:27.159 --> 00:18:28.480
 say,

00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:30.940
 Let brotherly love continue.

00:18:31.859 --> 00:18:33.379
 Do not neglect

00:18:33.379 --> 00:18:35.299
 to show hospitality

00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:37.399
 to strangers.

00:18:38.059 --> 00:18:38.700
 For thereby,

00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:40.220
 some have entertained

00:18:40.220 --> 00:18:41.859
 angels unawares.

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:43.279
 And that word,

00:18:43.500 --> 00:18:44.980
 hospitality to strangers,

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:45.940
 you begin to see

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:47.539
 what that word means.

00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:49.879
 Because in this word,

00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:55.539
 it's comprised of two different words.

00:18:55.740 --> 00:18:56.259
 Philo,

00:18:56.339 --> 00:18:57.339
 what does that sound like?

00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:58.180
 Philo.

00:19:00.059 --> 00:19:01.279
 Brotherly love.

00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:03.359
 And xenia is,

00:19:03.899 --> 00:19:06.099
 where we get xenophobia,

00:19:07.180 --> 00:19:07.980
 is stranger.

00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:09.879
 So loving the stranger.

00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:12.420
 So hospitality,

00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:13.879
 as Hebrew says,

00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:16.399
 is love the stranger among you.

00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.460
 And it makes clear,

00:19:19.540 --> 00:19:19.660
 he says,

00:19:19.740 --> 00:19:19.880
 Look,

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:20.660
 yes,

00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:22.080
 love the brothers and sisters.

00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:24.200
 Don't forget this.

00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:25.340
 But then he says,

00:19:26.340 --> 00:19:27.320
 But do not neglect

00:19:27.320 --> 00:19:28.759
 to show hospitality

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:31.340
 to those outside the church too.

00:19:31.940 --> 00:19:32.160
 So,

00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:33.160
 while hospitality

00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:34.620
 starts within the church,

00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:35.800
 it shouldn't stop there.

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:36.840
 It should extend

00:19:36.840 --> 00:19:37.600
 to strangers.

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:39.840
 And the extent of kindness

00:19:39.840 --> 00:19:40.500
 goes further.

00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:41.180
 It says,

00:19:41.420 --> 00:19:42.140
 Some have even

00:19:42.140 --> 00:19:43.019
 entertained angels.

00:19:43.019 --> 00:19:45.779
 1 Timothy 5,

00:19:46.019 --> 00:19:47.039
 verse 10.

00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.720
 Another verse here.

00:19:49.819 --> 00:19:49.920
 It says,

00:19:50.660 --> 00:19:51.500
 And having a reputation

00:19:51.500 --> 00:19:52.379
 for good works,

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:53.980
 speaking of those

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:55.359
 who are on the widow's list,

00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:57.700
 if she has brought up children,

00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:59.619
 has shown hospitality,

00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.519
 has washed the feet of saints,

00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:03.119
 has cared for the afflicted,

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:04.700
 and has devoted herself

00:20:04.700 --> 00:20:06.119
 to every good work.

00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:07.539
 So,

00:20:07.619 --> 00:20:08.719
 Paul is talking about

00:20:08.719 --> 00:20:09.619
 the widows.

00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:10.379
 And it highlights

00:20:10.379 --> 00:20:11.779
 the importance of hospitality

00:20:11.779 --> 00:20:13.539
 in the early church,

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:14.139
 that this woman

00:20:14.139 --> 00:20:15.519
 could not be put on

00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:16.559
 the widow's list

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:18.139
 unless she had shown hospitality.

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:19.839
 And that was one

00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:20.619
 of the qualifications.

00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:21.779
 And so,

00:20:21.859 --> 00:20:22.759
 how does hospitality

00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:23.559
 show itself

00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:24.779
 in 1 Timothy 5,

00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:25.299
 verse 10?

00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:27.379
 Does someone have that

00:20:27.379 --> 00:20:28.319
 flipped open?

00:20:28.439 --> 00:20:29.579
 What are some of the ways

00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:31.399
 that this person

00:20:31.399 --> 00:20:33.219
 has shown hospitality?

00:20:33.219 --> 00:20:34.859
 It's not hosting snacks

00:20:34.859 --> 00:20:35.619
 during the Super Bowl,

00:20:35.619 --> 00:20:37.619
 there...

00:20:37.619 --> 00:20:40.099
 What does it say?

00:20:43.219 --> 00:20:43.819
 Yeah,

00:20:44.159 --> 00:20:45.339
 1 Timothy 5,

00:20:45.439 --> 00:20:45.839
 10.

00:20:48.199 --> 00:20:50.559
 She has shown hospitality,

00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:52.079
 has washed the feet

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:52.779
 of the saints,

00:20:53.159 --> 00:20:54.679
 has cared for the afflicted,

00:20:55.139 --> 00:20:56.359
 and has devoted herself

00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:57.359
 to every good work.

00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:58.039
 Yeah,

00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:58.959
 exactly.

00:20:59.479 --> 00:20:59.819
 So,

00:20:59.899 --> 00:21:01.419
 it's through this selfless

00:21:01.419 --> 00:21:03.099
 and sacrificial serving

00:21:03.099 --> 00:21:03.719
 of the saints

00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.299
 that is being shown.

00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:07.839
 So,

00:21:07.900 --> 00:21:08.720
 this hospitality,

00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:09.160
 again,

00:21:09.259 --> 00:21:10.039
 you're beginning to see

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:10.960
 it's much broader

00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:12.400
 than just entertaining people

00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:13.480
 for dinner.

00:21:13.860 --> 00:21:15.160
 It's serving them

00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:15.940
 sacrificially.

00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:18.240
 And Romans 12,

00:21:18.339 --> 00:21:19.519
 verses 12 to 14.

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:21.220
 Paul writes

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:22.019
 to the church in Rome...

00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:22.940
 Before we leave...

00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:23.220
 Oh yeah,

00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:23.500
 sure,

00:21:23.620 --> 00:21:23.860
 go ahead.

00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:25.559
 I think it's important

00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:26.079
 to know,

00:21:27.139 --> 00:21:28.759
 such as bringing up

00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:29.500
 children.

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:31.099
 I take it to mean

00:21:31.099 --> 00:21:33.000
 not her own blood children,

00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:34.479
 but children

00:21:34.479 --> 00:21:35.979
 who have no one.

00:21:37.979 --> 00:21:38.679
 I mean,

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:39.139
 that would certainly

00:21:39.139 --> 00:21:40.579
 align with

00:21:40.579 --> 00:21:42.099
 serving those,

00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:42.939
 the afflicted.

00:21:43.679 --> 00:21:44.240
 So,

00:21:44.399 --> 00:21:44.679
 you know,

00:21:44.719 --> 00:21:45.579
 caring for the orphans.

00:21:45.579 --> 00:21:45.859
 I mean,

00:21:45.919 --> 00:21:46.379
 that would be

00:21:46.379 --> 00:21:48.219
 in line with

00:21:48.219 --> 00:21:49.219
 what Paul is saying there.

00:21:49.679 --> 00:21:50.240
 Thank you.

00:21:50.419 --> 00:21:51.019
 Thank you for that.

00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:53.460
 Romans 12,

00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:54.599
 12 to 14.

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:55.420
 Paul writes

00:21:55.420 --> 00:21:56.039
 to the church in Rome,

00:21:56.379 --> 00:21:57.339
 be joyful in hope,

00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:58.839
 patient in affliction,

00:21:59.299 --> 00:22:00.099
 faithful in prayer.

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:01.980
 Share with the Lord's people

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:02.799
 who are in need.

00:22:03.180 --> 00:22:04.940
 Practice hospitality.

00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:06.440
 Bless those

00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:07.660
 who persecute you.

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.119
 Bless and do not curse.

00:22:09.879 --> 00:22:10.779
 And later on,

00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:11.980
 Paul asks the church in Rome

00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:13.099
 to show hospitality

00:22:13.099 --> 00:22:14.160
 specifically to Phoebe.

00:22:14.859 --> 00:22:15.359
 He writes,

00:22:15.639 --> 00:22:17.119
 welcome her in the Lord

00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:17.980
 in a way worthy

00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:18.619
 of the saints

00:22:18.619 --> 00:22:19.799
 and help her

00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:21.180
 and whatever she may need

00:22:21.180 --> 00:22:21.899
 from you.

00:22:22.139 --> 00:22:22.700
 For she has been

00:22:22.700 --> 00:22:23.839
 a patron of many

00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:25.259
 and of myself as well.

00:22:26.379 --> 00:22:26.879
 So,

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:28.000
 Paul is specifically

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.919
 singling out

00:22:30.919 --> 00:22:31.759
 gospel workers

00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:33.240
 who the church

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:33.879
 was to welcome

00:22:33.879 --> 00:22:35.200
 and show hospitality to.

00:22:35.940 --> 00:22:37.279
 And we'll see next week

00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:38.919
 how gospel workers

00:22:38.919 --> 00:22:40.619
 depended upon hospitality

00:22:40.619 --> 00:22:42.139
 to do gospel ministry

00:22:42.139 --> 00:22:43.559
 in the early church.

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:45.279
 Second and third John

00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:46.680
 really kind of highlight that.

00:22:47.099 --> 00:22:48.119
 We'll get into

00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:48.899
 the kind of missions

00:22:48.899 --> 00:22:50.079
 and gospel workers

00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:50.739
 next week.

00:22:51.339 --> 00:22:51.459
 So,

00:22:52.239 --> 00:22:52.619
 we can say,

00:22:52.699 --> 00:22:53.139
 in summary,

00:22:53.779 --> 00:22:55.139
 the concept of hospitality

00:22:55.139 --> 00:22:56.939
 is to love strangers.

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:58.699
 Practicing selfless,

00:22:59.239 --> 00:23:00.299
 sacrificial service

00:23:00.299 --> 00:23:01.859
 and meeting practical

00:23:01.859 --> 00:23:02.699
 and spiritual needs

00:23:02.699 --> 00:23:03.639
 of those around you.

00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:04.500
 So,

00:23:04.579 --> 00:23:05.119
 if we understand

00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:05.719
 hospitality

00:23:05.719 --> 00:23:07.039
 in that respect

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.279
 as love for outsiders,

00:23:08.959 --> 00:23:10.239
 then this is no

00:23:10.239 --> 00:23:11.359
 minor biblical theme.

00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:12.399
 Right?

00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:13.360
 And,

00:23:14.040 --> 00:23:14.240
 you know,

00:23:14.280 --> 00:23:15.240
 you could even think

00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:16.860
 of hospitality

00:23:16.860 --> 00:23:18.019
 in the Old Testament.

00:23:18.300 --> 00:23:18.680
 How does,

00:23:19.420 --> 00:23:21.320
 rooted in who God is himself,

00:23:21.620 --> 00:23:22.840
 of welcoming those

00:23:22.840 --> 00:23:24.460
 who are outsiders.

00:23:27.259 --> 00:23:27.460
 You know,

00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:28.660
 what are some places

00:23:28.660 --> 00:23:30.580
 that just come to mind

00:23:30.580 --> 00:23:31.620
 when you think about

00:23:31.620 --> 00:23:33.460
 God welcoming the outcast

00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:34.780
 in the Old Testament?

00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:35.740
 I mean,

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:36.660
 it's a pretty thick theme.

00:23:36.660 --> 00:23:42.259
 Think of a historical context.

00:23:44.320 --> 00:23:45.120
 Even before,

00:23:45.259 --> 00:23:45.600
 I think I,

00:23:46.100 --> 00:23:47.100
 Tyler and I have been

00:23:47.100 --> 00:23:48.620
 battling back and forth,

00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:49.759
 not battling in a bad sense,

00:23:49.840 --> 00:23:50.060
 but like,

00:23:50.100 --> 00:23:50.640
 what should we say,

00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:51.380
 what we shouldn't,

00:23:51.580 --> 00:23:52.759
 because there's four weeks

00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:53.820
 and there's a lot to cover.

00:23:54.860 --> 00:23:55.180
 Think,

00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:56.600
 before you think back

00:23:56.600 --> 00:23:57.820
 to all the biblical examples

00:23:57.820 --> 00:23:58.660
 that you might be able

00:23:58.660 --> 00:23:59.320
 to pull from your

00:23:59.320 --> 00:24:00.320
 Sunday school days

00:24:00.320 --> 00:24:01.600
 or from your present

00:24:01.600 --> 00:24:02.279
 Bible reading,

00:24:02.700 --> 00:24:03.640
 think about historically

00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:04.840
 in the United States

00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:06.539
 how people welcomed

00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:07.659
 each other.

00:24:09.199 --> 00:24:12.379
 Before World War II,

00:24:12.879 --> 00:24:15.000
 before welfare

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.199
 became available,

00:24:16.859 --> 00:24:19.119
 before orphanages

00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:21.220
 went out of fashion,

00:24:21.699 --> 00:24:24.659
 how did people welcome

00:24:24.659 --> 00:24:27.299
 guests and strangers

00:24:27.299 --> 00:24:28.659
 into their community?

00:24:28.939 --> 00:24:29.579
 Think about it

00:24:29.579 --> 00:24:30.799
 in the broader sense.

00:24:32.099 --> 00:24:33.599
 Who's good on their history?

00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:34.859
 Like,

00:24:35.639 --> 00:24:37.859
 what happened

00:24:37.859 --> 00:24:38.619
 to orphanages?

00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:41.000
 What happened

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:42.159
 to poor homes

00:24:42.159 --> 00:24:43.059
 or poor houses?

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:46.139
 In the early 1900s,

00:24:46.179 --> 00:24:46.939
 every community

00:24:46.939 --> 00:24:48.319
 in the state

00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:48.859
 of Connecticut

00:24:48.859 --> 00:24:49.579
 was required

00:24:49.579 --> 00:24:50.959
 to have a poor house

00:24:50.959 --> 00:24:52.259
 for widows

00:24:52.259 --> 00:24:53.379
 or orphans.

00:24:54.439 --> 00:24:55.399
 The church

00:24:55.399 --> 00:24:56.139
 used to take care

00:24:56.139 --> 00:24:56.659
 of all that.

00:24:57.939 --> 00:24:58.500
 Well then,

00:24:58.839 --> 00:24:59.759
 the welfare state

00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:00.839
 became available.

00:25:01.879 --> 00:25:03.279
 Widows were provided for.

00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:04.480
 By the government.

00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:06.160
 Poor houses

00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:07.859
 went out of fashion.

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:09.139
 Brooksville Park

00:25:09.139 --> 00:25:09.740
 out in Hamden

00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:10.519
 where I used to work,

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:11.299
 the building

00:25:11.299 --> 00:25:12.180
 that is there,

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:12.859
 the ranger's home,

00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:14.599
 used to be a poor house

00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:15.720
 for a time period.

00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:17.200
 It was the one

00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:18.279
 that any widows

00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:19.639
 or orphans

00:25:19.639 --> 00:25:20.339
 went to

00:25:20.339 --> 00:25:20.819
 out in Haven.

00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:21.379
 There used to be

00:25:21.379 --> 00:25:22.420
 a big orphanage

00:25:22.420 --> 00:25:23.279
 right on

00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:24.680
 Prospect Street

00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:27.099
 that housed orphans.

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:28.899
 So what has changed

00:25:28.899 --> 00:25:29.779
 in our culture,

00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:31.940
 which also changed

00:25:31.940 --> 00:25:33.299
 in biblical times

00:25:33.299 --> 00:25:34.079
 as to

00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:35.099
 welcoming

00:25:35.099 --> 00:25:36.019
 these guests

00:25:36.019 --> 00:25:36.879
 and strangers?

00:25:37.940 --> 00:25:38.099
 You know,

00:25:38.299 --> 00:25:39.200
 think back to

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:39.799
 when you were

00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:40.460
 welcomed here.

00:25:40.980 --> 00:25:41.680
 Do you remember

00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:42.160
 the person

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:43.000
 that welcomed you

00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:43.759
 for the first time

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:45.799
 in true

00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:47.059
 welcoming sincerity?

00:25:47.059 --> 00:25:48.700
 or when you

00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:49.659
 joined a club

00:25:49.659 --> 00:25:50.399
 like a gym?

00:25:50.879 --> 00:25:51.799
 Who welcomed you?

00:25:52.460 --> 00:25:53.859
 And why did they do it?

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.019
 I mean,

00:25:56.059 --> 00:25:56.579
 there's a lot of

00:25:56.579 --> 00:25:57.220
 questions here,

00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:58.440
 but we can go back

00:25:58.440 --> 00:25:58.819
 right away

00:25:58.819 --> 00:25:59.319
 and I can say

00:25:59.319 --> 00:25:59.960
 it was Zacchaeus.

00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:00.279
 You know,

00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:01.339
 he welcomed the Lord.

00:26:01.779 --> 00:26:02.000
 Well,

00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:03.000
 I hope if the Lord

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:03.799
 said I'm coming

00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:04.240
 to your house

00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:04.839
 that I'd be ready

00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:05.740
 to welcome him too.

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:06.339
 You know,

00:26:06.620 --> 00:26:07.839
 but think back

00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.900
 to what our society

00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:09.779
 has done

00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:11.039
 as far as

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:11.620
 welcoming

00:26:11.620 --> 00:26:13.880
 strangers and guests.

00:26:14.420 --> 00:26:14.500
 Yeah.

00:26:16.120 --> 00:26:17.539
 And how discouraging

00:26:17.539 --> 00:26:17.960
 it would be

00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:18.539
 if you came

00:26:18.539 --> 00:26:19.099
 to this church

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:20.180
 for three or four weeks

00:26:20.180 --> 00:26:20.839
 and no one

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:21.460
 welcomed you.

00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:22.640
 Nobody.

00:26:23.380 --> 00:26:23.920
 You know,

00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:25.099
 I've heard stories

00:26:25.099 --> 00:26:25.400
 where,

00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:26.400
 so like,

00:26:26.460 --> 00:26:27.099
 if no one welcomed,

00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:27.839
 it's a fourth week

00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:28.359
 coming to Trinity,

00:26:28.500 --> 00:26:29.400
 if no one welcomes us

00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:29.839
 today,

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:31.200
 we're not going

00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:31.660
 to stay here.

00:26:31.740 --> 00:26:32.039
 And then,

00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:32.839
 by God's grace,

00:26:32.940 --> 00:26:33.819
 somebody welcomed them

00:26:33.819 --> 00:26:34.279
 and they're,

00:26:34.500 --> 00:26:35.299
 ten years later,

00:26:35.299 --> 00:26:35.819
 they're still here.

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:36.159
 So,

00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:38.079
 it is important

00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:38.639
 that we welcome

00:26:38.639 --> 00:26:39.299
 those who are

00:26:39.299 --> 00:26:40.440
 outsiders.

00:26:40.899 --> 00:26:41.059
 But,

00:26:41.339 --> 00:26:41.919
 to your question,

00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:43.000
 you know,

00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:44.119
 it's changed.

00:26:44.339 --> 00:26:44.839
 It's changed.

00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:45.200
 And,

00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:47.079
 we don't think

00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:47.859
 about those terms

00:26:47.859 --> 00:26:48.200
 anymore.

00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:49.319
 So,

00:26:49.379 --> 00:26:49.799
 if you're thinking

00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:50.579
 about something

00:26:50.579 --> 00:26:52.980
 that we've learned

00:26:52.980 --> 00:26:54.019
 about in the Bible

00:26:54.019 --> 00:26:54.720
 that happened

00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:55.599
 during biblical days,

00:26:55.659 --> 00:26:56.639
 like Tyler asked,

00:26:57.019 --> 00:26:57.539
 if you're going

00:26:57.539 --> 00:26:58.359
 to think about it,

00:26:58.399 --> 00:26:58.960
 it's probably

00:26:58.960 --> 00:26:59.619
 because it's going

00:26:59.619 --> 00:27:00.639
 to trigger something

00:27:00.639 --> 00:27:01.919
 in your memory

00:27:01.919 --> 00:27:03.079
 of something

00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:04.139
 that happened to you

00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:05.060
 in the modern

00:27:05.060 --> 00:27:05.660
 centuries.

00:27:06.220 --> 00:27:06.400
 So,

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:07.100
 think about it.

00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:07.600
 For me,

00:27:07.940 --> 00:27:09.200
 it truly was

00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:10.960
 just being welcomed

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:12.280
 as a somewhat

00:27:12.280 --> 00:27:13.360
 of an outsider.

00:27:13.660 --> 00:27:14.140
 My mother

00:27:14.140 --> 00:27:15.320
 kind of came

00:27:15.320 --> 00:27:15.800
 to church

00:27:15.800 --> 00:27:16.400
 and then kind

00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:16.920
 of didn't

00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:17.680
 and was in

00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:18.060
 and out

00:27:18.060 --> 00:27:19.640
 and other adults

00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:21.840
 in the church

00:27:21.840 --> 00:27:23.540
 welcomed me.

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:26.440
 It didn't matter

00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:27.300
 whether my entire

00:27:27.300 --> 00:27:28.400
 family wasn't there

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:29.920
 or my absent father,

00:27:30.140 --> 00:27:30.480
 you know.

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:31.220
 So,

00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:31.819
 that was,

00:27:31.940 --> 00:27:32.779
 so I love

00:27:32.779 --> 00:27:33.980
 reading Bible stories

00:27:33.980 --> 00:27:34.799
 where somebody's

00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:36.099
 just welcomed

00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:37.140
 into community

00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:38.559
 with warmth.

00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:39.220
 It didn't matter,

00:27:39.380 --> 00:27:39.880
 we didn't say,

00:27:40.019 --> 00:27:40.140
 oh,

00:27:40.259 --> 00:27:40.440
 well,

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:40.940
 first of all,

00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:41.259
 did you have

00:27:41.259 --> 00:27:41.960
 Christian parents?

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:42.620
 Oh,

00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:42.940
 wait a minute,

00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:43.519
 did you go to

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:43.940
 Sunday school

00:27:43.940 --> 00:27:44.620
 when you were a kid?

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:45.519
 Oh,

00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:46.299
 you know,

00:27:46.620 --> 00:27:47.059
 when did you

00:27:47.059 --> 00:27:47.539
 get baptized?

00:27:48.420 --> 00:27:48.640
 You know,

00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:49.180
 was it when you

00:27:49.180 --> 00:27:49.640
 were an infant

00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:50.240
 or when you were,

00:27:50.339 --> 00:27:50.819
 there were no

00:27:50.819 --> 00:27:51.940
 precursors to

00:27:51.940 --> 00:27:52.839
 whether I qualified

00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:53.200
 or not.

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:54.200
 I was just welcomed.

00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:55.480
 So,

00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:56.680
 yeah.

00:27:56.779 --> 00:27:57.980
 How many people

00:27:57.980 --> 00:27:58.980
 desire and long

00:27:58.980 --> 00:28:00.539
 for a place

00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:01.700
 where they feel

00:28:01.700 --> 00:28:03.099
 like they're truly

00:28:03.099 --> 00:28:04.759
 welcomed in community?

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:07.019
 Everyone desires that.

00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:07.960
 And the church

00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:08.839
 has something to offer.

00:28:09.579 --> 00:28:10.839
 And this is a place

00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:11.799
 where all sinners

00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:12.400
 are welcomed

00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:14.180
 because God

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:14.759
 has welcomed us

00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:16.339
 when we didn't

00:28:16.339 --> 00:28:16.839
 deserve it.

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.180
 I think you kind of

00:28:20.180 --> 00:28:20.680
 touched on it

00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:21.039
 right now,

00:28:21.099 --> 00:28:21.299
 Tyler.

00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:22.620
 I think listening

00:28:22.620 --> 00:28:24.200
 to what you're

00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:24.420
 sharing,

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:24.779
 Kirsten,

00:28:24.819 --> 00:28:25.680
 makes so much sense.

00:28:25.940 --> 00:28:26.700
 And the part of

00:28:26.700 --> 00:28:27.079
 the welcome

00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:27.660
 is you're welcoming

00:28:27.660 --> 00:28:28.259
 into.

00:28:28.860 --> 00:28:29.240
 And I think

00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:29.860
 what we have

00:28:29.860 --> 00:28:30.880
 as Christians

00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:31.980
 and as a church

00:28:31.980 --> 00:28:33.480
 is an actual

00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:34.779
 space

00:28:34.779 --> 00:28:36.300
 that we were

00:28:36.300 --> 00:28:36.980
 welcomed into

00:28:36.980 --> 00:28:37.740
 that now we

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:38.460
 extend welcome

00:28:38.460 --> 00:28:39.180
 into because

00:28:39.180 --> 00:28:40.580
 of our conversion,

00:28:40.740 --> 00:28:41.220
 because of our

00:28:41.220 --> 00:28:42.259
 salvation in Christ.

00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:42.600
 You know,

00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:44.080
 Christ has gone

00:28:44.080 --> 00:28:44.980
 to prepare a place

00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:45.420
 for us,

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:45.720
 right?

00:28:45.840 --> 00:28:46.759
 And I think

00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:48.360
 that has so much

00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:50.240
 our understanding

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:50.940
 of

00:28:50.940 --> 00:28:54.220
 the love of

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:54.500
 Jesus

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:56.200
 in our own

00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:56.660
 hearts.

00:28:56.660 --> 00:28:58.860
 is what

00:28:58.860 --> 00:28:59.180
 then

00:28:59.180 --> 00:29:00.640
 is the

00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:01.019
 space,

00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:01.440
 right?

00:29:01.860 --> 00:29:02.060
 Yeah.

00:29:02.620 --> 00:29:02.840
 Yeah.

00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:04.940
 And the love

00:29:04.940 --> 00:29:05.320
 of Jesus

00:29:05.320 --> 00:29:06.180
 for us,

00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:06.660
 you know,

00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:07.759
 Ephesians 2.12

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:08.460
 comes to mind.

00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:09.019
 Remember that

00:29:09.019 --> 00:29:09.400
 you,

00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:11.060
 at that time,

00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:11.820
 separated from

00:29:11.820 --> 00:29:12.240
 Christ,

00:29:13.040 --> 00:29:13.620
 alienated from

00:29:13.620 --> 00:29:14.220
 the commonwealth

00:29:14.220 --> 00:29:14.640
 of Israel

00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:15.100
 and strangers

00:29:15.100 --> 00:29:15.680
 to the covenants

00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:16.100
 of promise,

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:16.960
 having no hope

00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:18.060
 and without God

00:29:18.060 --> 00:29:18.500
 in the world.

00:29:18.800 --> 00:29:19.700
 That was us,

00:29:19.779 --> 00:29:20.000
 right?

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:21.019
 But then,

00:29:21.860 --> 00:29:22.560
 at great cost

00:29:22.560 --> 00:29:22.880
 to himself,

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:23.740
 he welcomes us in.

00:29:23.740 --> 00:29:24.720
 So,

00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:26.059
 I think welcoming

00:29:26.059 --> 00:29:26.720
 others

00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:28.180
 begins with

00:29:28.180 --> 00:29:29.140
 us understanding

00:29:29.140 --> 00:29:29.799
 that God

00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:30.539
 is the one

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:31.559
 who has welcomed

00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:32.120
 us in,

00:29:32.220 --> 00:29:32.579
 and it's our

00:29:32.579 --> 00:29:33.339
 love for Christ

00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:34.759
 that propels us

00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:35.940
 and is a fuel

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.960
 that allows us

00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:37.559
 to love strangers

00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:39.240
 because it's hard.

00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:41.880
 Anita?

00:29:41.940 --> 00:29:42.079
 Yeah,

00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:42.539
 Anita.

00:29:42.539 --> 00:29:43.659
 I wonder if

00:29:43.659 --> 00:29:44.319
 it's worth bringing

00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:44.599
 up,

00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:44.859
 like,

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:45.700
 so we love

00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:46.200
 and serve

00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:46.599
 the God

00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:47.200
 who sees,

00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:48.180
 and before we

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:48.539
 can walk

00:29:48.539 --> 00:29:48.899
 and we have

00:29:48.899 --> 00:29:49.799
 to see people,

00:29:50.859 --> 00:29:52.399
 which also

00:29:52.399 --> 00:29:52.819
 gets back

00:29:52.819 --> 00:29:53.359
 to the time

00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:53.899
 question,

00:29:54.700 --> 00:29:56.779
 and also

00:29:56.779 --> 00:29:57.319
 gets to your

00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:57.579
 question,

00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:57.980
 Tyler,

00:29:58.079 --> 00:29:58.279
 about,

00:29:58.379 --> 00:29:58.500
 like,

00:29:58.740 --> 00:29:59.240
 what if I

00:29:59.240 --> 00:29:59.659
 can't do

00:29:59.659 --> 00:29:59.839
 this,

00:29:59.879 --> 00:30:00.500
 if I can't,

00:30:00.500 --> 00:30:01.279
 I can't imagine

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:02.079
 myself hosting

00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:02.659
 in this way,

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:03.159
 but I think

00:30:03.159 --> 00:30:04.879
 it starts with

00:30:04.879 --> 00:30:05.339
 the cultivation

00:30:05.339 --> 00:30:06.019
 of our hearts

00:30:06.019 --> 00:30:06.960
 and the eyes

00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:07.680
 of our hearts

00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:08.960
 to see as

00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:09.700
 Jesus sees

00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:10.259
 and to be

00:30:10.259 --> 00:30:10.659
 clothed

00:30:10.659 --> 00:30:11.420
 in compassion

00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:13.039
 and to make

00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:13.600
 room,

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:14.880
 to make space,

00:30:16.460 --> 00:30:17.140
 which takes

00:30:17.140 --> 00:30:17.940
 time and attention

00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:19.180
 and intention.

00:30:19.840 --> 00:30:19.980
 Yeah,

00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:20.720
 yeah,

00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:22.100
 and getting to

00:30:22.100 --> 00:30:22.440
 know people

00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:23.039
 well enough

00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:23.460
 where,

00:30:23.700 --> 00:30:24.480
 to know that,

00:30:24.580 --> 00:30:24.880
 you know,

00:30:25.180 --> 00:30:26.060
 if someone is

00:30:26.060 --> 00:30:26.440
 struggling,

00:30:26.620 --> 00:30:27.259
 that there's a,

00:30:28.080 --> 00:30:28.759
 we know each

00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:29.259
 other well enough

00:30:29.259 --> 00:30:29.759
 that we can

00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:30.500
 meet the needs

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:31.500
 that we're

00:30:31.500 --> 00:30:31.960
 experiencing,

00:30:32.140 --> 00:30:32.560
 that some of us

00:30:32.560 --> 00:30:33.060
 are experiencing

00:30:33.060 --> 00:30:33.600
 practically,

00:30:33.779 --> 00:30:34.120
 spiritually,

00:30:34.779 --> 00:30:35.940
 so there is

00:30:35.940 --> 00:30:36.580
 a sense of

00:30:36.580 --> 00:30:37.480
 the outsider,

00:30:37.560 --> 00:30:37.980
 but even within

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:39.100
 our own church,

00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:39.340
 like,

00:30:39.420 --> 00:30:39.900
 we need to

00:30:39.900 --> 00:30:41.800
 know one

00:30:41.800 --> 00:30:42.120
 other well

00:30:42.120 --> 00:30:42.600
 enough to

00:30:42.600 --> 00:30:43.440
 be transparent

00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:44.680
 so we can

00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:45.440
 be hospitable

00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:46.259
 toward one

00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:46.480
 other.

00:30:47.019 --> 00:30:47.580
 Sharon and

00:30:47.580 --> 00:30:48.280
 Susan both

00:30:48.280 --> 00:30:48.780
 have their

00:30:48.780 --> 00:30:49.259
 hands up.

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:49.980
 Sharon.

00:30:51.320 --> 00:30:51.759
 Yeah,

00:30:52.340 --> 00:30:53.040
 can I stand up?

00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:53.519
 Yes,

00:30:53.620 --> 00:30:53.800
 please.

00:30:54.800 --> 00:30:55.080
 Yes,

00:30:55.080 --> 00:30:55.720
 I find that

00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:56.759
 I wanted to

00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:57.360
 touch up your

00:30:57.360 --> 00:30:58.180
 topic about

00:30:58.180 --> 00:30:58.800
 talking about

00:30:58.800 --> 00:30:59.140
 a lot of

00:30:59.140 --> 00:30:59.519
 new people

00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:00.120
 coming to our

00:31:00.120 --> 00:31:00.380
 church,

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:00.720
 you know,

00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:01.580
 that they've

00:31:01.580 --> 00:31:01.780
 been coming

00:31:01.780 --> 00:31:02.720
 for so long

00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:04.420
 that not

00:31:04.420 --> 00:31:06.600
 really realized

00:31:06.600 --> 00:31:06.980
 because the

00:31:06.980 --> 00:31:07.480
 church is so

00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:07.720
 big,

00:31:07.780 --> 00:31:07.980
 you know,

00:31:07.980 --> 00:31:08.360
 and then

00:31:08.360 --> 00:31:08.720
 we have

00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:09.059
 a new

00:31:09.059 --> 00:31:09.279
 thing.

00:31:10.059 --> 00:31:10.559
 This is

00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:10.980
 what I

00:31:10.980 --> 00:31:13.559
 actually had

00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:14.259
 this thought

00:31:14.259 --> 00:31:14.660
 in my

00:31:14.660 --> 00:31:15.360
 mind for

00:31:15.360 --> 00:31:15.680
 a while

00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:16.019
 that I

00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:16.299
 remember

00:31:16.299 --> 00:31:16.920
 the one

00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:17.519
 I just

00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:17.980
 had to share

00:31:17.980 --> 00:31:19.240
 with my

00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:20.160
 experience

00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:21.400
 and how

00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:21.740
 God

00:31:21.740 --> 00:31:22.259
 lead me

00:31:22.259 --> 00:31:22.779
 to this

00:31:22.779 --> 00:31:23.240
 direction.

00:31:23.819 --> 00:31:24.220
 One day

00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:24.799
 I had

00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:25.440
 on the last

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:26.420
 three months

00:31:26.420 --> 00:31:26.640
 ago,

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:26.880
 I was

00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:27.519
 talking to

00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:27.900
 Michael,

00:31:28.059 --> 00:31:28.259
 I said,

00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:28.920
 I always

00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:29.660
 sit beside

00:31:29.660 --> 00:31:31.500
 John

00:31:31.500 --> 00:31:31.900
 Hinson,

00:31:32.420 --> 00:31:32.839
 they always

00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:33.140
 sit in

00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:33.480
 the same

00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:33.799
 place,

00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:34.059
 okay?

00:31:34.059 --> 00:31:35.399
 And then,

00:31:35.919 --> 00:31:37.019
 it's crazy

00:31:37.019 --> 00:31:37.460
 because we

00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:37.779
 don't meet

00:31:37.779 --> 00:31:38.240
 new people.

00:31:40.740 --> 00:31:41.419
 Maybe it

00:31:41.419 --> 00:31:41.799
 serves

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.220
 the same.

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:45.679
 I thought

00:31:45.679 --> 00:31:46.159
 this is a

00:31:46.159 --> 00:31:47.200
 very common

00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:47.839
 topic that

00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:48.220
 we didn't

00:31:48.220 --> 00:31:48.919
 realize that

00:31:48.919 --> 00:31:50.259
 we missed

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:50.679
 up a lot

00:31:50.679 --> 00:31:51.379
 of people

00:31:51.379 --> 00:31:52.399
 in our

00:31:52.399 --> 00:31:52.700
 lives.

00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:53.440
 So when

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:53.720
 I got

00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:53.859
 up,

00:31:53.940 --> 00:31:54.200
 my girl

00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:54.539
 picked me

00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:54.839
 up the

00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:54.980
 time,

00:31:55.099 --> 00:31:55.240
 I told

00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:55.619
 my girl,

00:31:55.819 --> 00:31:56.019
 hmm,

00:31:56.940 --> 00:31:57.200
 yeah,

00:31:57.919 --> 00:31:58.319
 I just

00:31:58.319 --> 00:31:58.839
 only find

00:31:58.839 --> 00:31:59.079
 that I

00:31:59.079 --> 00:31:59.919
 don't have

00:31:59.919 --> 00:32:00.279
 opportunity

00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:00.779
 to meet

00:32:00.779 --> 00:32:01.039
 up in

00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:01.339
 the new

00:32:01.339 --> 00:32:01.639
 people.

00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:01.859
 And

00:32:01.859 --> 00:32:02.079
 after

00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:02.319
 some

00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:02.460
 weeks,

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:02.599
 I

00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:02.759
 just

00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:02.940
 talk

00:32:02.940 --> 00:32:03.099
 to the

00:32:03.099 --> 00:32:03.339
 people

00:32:03.339 --> 00:32:03.639
 around

00:32:03.639 --> 00:32:03.819
 me,

00:32:03.859 --> 00:32:03.939
 I

00:32:03.939 --> 00:32:04.159
 just

00:32:04.159 --> 00:32:04.559
 go off.

00:32:05.299 --> 00:32:05.699
 So my

00:32:05.699 --> 00:32:05.859
 girl

00:32:05.859 --> 00:32:06.139
 told me,

00:32:06.179 --> 00:32:06.459
 Mom,

00:32:06.679 --> 00:32:07.000
 change

00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:07.179
 your

00:32:07.179 --> 00:32:07.459
 face.

00:32:08.419 --> 00:32:08.720
 Change

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:08.919
 your

00:32:08.919 --> 00:32:09.139
 face.

00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:09.759
 I

00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:10.059
 go to

00:32:10.059 --> 00:32:11.199
 the

00:32:11.199 --> 00:32:11.279
 right.

00:32:15.619 --> 00:32:16.039
 Change

00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:16.639
 move anywhere

00:32:16.639 --> 00:32:17.259
 you go.

00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:18.379
 So I

00:32:18.379 --> 00:32:19.079
 take a word,

00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:19.359
 you know,

00:32:19.459 --> 00:32:19.959
 I start

00:32:19.959 --> 00:32:20.419
 doing that.

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:20.839
 The next

00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:21.179
 week I

00:32:21.179 --> 00:32:21.459
 came,

00:32:21.579 --> 00:32:21.679
 I

00:32:21.679 --> 00:32:22.059
 changed

00:32:22.059 --> 00:32:22.279
 my

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:22.539
 face.

00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:23.779
 Now you

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:24.079
 found out

00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:24.319
 I sit

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:24.519
 in the

00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:24.679
 right

00:32:24.679 --> 00:32:24.879
 hand.

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:29.339
 And

00:32:29.339 --> 00:32:30.459
 as I

00:32:30.459 --> 00:32:31.079
 go through,

00:32:31.259 --> 00:32:32.000
 my heart

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:32.299
 wanted to

00:32:32.299 --> 00:32:33.379
 see that.

00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:34.379
 Because I

00:32:34.379 --> 00:32:35.079
 realize a lot

00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:35.339
 of new

00:32:35.339 --> 00:32:35.700
 faces.

00:32:36.299 --> 00:32:37.419
 How are we

00:32:37.419 --> 00:32:37.919
 going to

00:32:37.919 --> 00:32:38.319
 reach out

00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:38.639
 in these

00:32:38.639 --> 00:32:39.460
 people's

00:32:39.460 --> 00:32:39.839
 life?

00:32:40.259 --> 00:32:40.779
 How are we

00:32:40.779 --> 00:32:41.059
 going to

00:32:41.059 --> 00:32:41.899
 find interest

00:32:41.899 --> 00:32:42.399
 about them?

00:32:42.919 --> 00:32:43.299
 When people

00:32:43.299 --> 00:32:43.819
 come to the

00:32:43.819 --> 00:32:44.139
 church,

00:32:44.419 --> 00:32:44.799
 they want,

00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:45.759
 they came

00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:46.039
 with a

00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:46.480
 difference,

00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:47.359
 reason.

00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:48.379
 They might

00:32:48.379 --> 00:32:48.779
 come with

00:32:48.779 --> 00:32:49.159
 a lot,

00:32:49.259 --> 00:32:49.399
 they might

00:32:49.399 --> 00:32:49.819
 come with

00:32:49.819 --> 00:32:50.180
 finding

00:32:50.180 --> 00:32:50.960
 relationships.

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:51.639
 They might

00:32:51.639 --> 00:32:52.059
 come with

00:32:52.059 --> 00:32:52.599
 love.

00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:53.599
 They might

00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:54.500
 find out

00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:55.700
 about

00:32:55.700 --> 00:32:56.000
 church,

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:56.299
 you know,

00:32:56.899 --> 00:32:57.180
 what

00:32:57.180 --> 00:32:58.940
 curious,

00:32:59.259 --> 00:32:59.779
 curiosity

00:32:59.779 --> 00:33:00.279
 to come

00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:00.440
 in,

00:33:00.580 --> 00:33:00.720
 you know,

00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:01.180
 some people

00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:01.580
 come in.

00:33:02.100 --> 00:33:02.440
 I remember

00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:02.900
 one man

00:33:02.900 --> 00:33:03.299
 just walked

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:03.700
 into a

00:33:03.700 --> 00:33:03.900
 church,

00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:04.200
 you know,

00:33:04.299 --> 00:33:04.640
 he just

00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:05.019
 came to

00:33:05.019 --> 00:33:05.640
 study here.

00:33:05.940 --> 00:33:06.259
 He just

00:33:06.259 --> 00:33:06.740
 walked in.

00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:07.340
 Then I

00:33:07.340 --> 00:33:07.900
 saw him,

00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:08.320
 I came

00:33:08.320 --> 00:33:08.539
 out,

00:33:08.620 --> 00:33:08.860
 and he

00:33:08.860 --> 00:33:09.080
 said,

00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:10.080
 I just

00:33:10.080 --> 00:33:10.360
 passed

00:33:10.360 --> 00:33:10.500
 by,

00:33:10.620 --> 00:33:10.779
 and I

00:33:10.779 --> 00:33:10.920
 saw

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:11.200
 the church

00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:11.580
 is so

00:33:11.580 --> 00:33:11.940
 beautiful,

00:33:12.060 --> 00:33:12.420
 I walked

00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:12.640
 in.

00:33:12.980 --> 00:33:13.380
 I

00:33:13.380 --> 00:33:13.700
 actually

00:33:13.700 --> 00:33:13.960
 will

00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:14.180
 come

00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:14.320
 in,

00:33:14.380 --> 00:33:14.460
 I

00:33:14.460 --> 00:33:14.640
 just

00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:14.980
 come

00:33:14.980 --> 00:33:15.140
 in

00:33:15.140 --> 00:33:15.340
 any

00:33:15.340 --> 00:33:15.580
 time

00:33:15.580 --> 00:33:15.759
 you

00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:16.019
 pass

00:33:16.019 --> 00:33:16.259
 by.

00:33:16.980 --> 00:33:17.560
 So I

00:33:17.560 --> 00:33:17.900
 realized

00:33:17.900 --> 00:33:18.080
 that

00:33:18.080 --> 00:33:18.279
 this

00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:18.480
 thing

00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:18.880
 happened

00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:19.340
 in

00:33:19.340 --> 00:33:19.519
 our

00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:19.820
 church.

00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:20.900
 And

00:33:20.900 --> 00:33:22.580
 then I

00:33:22.580 --> 00:33:23.460
 managed

00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:27.660
 I

00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:27.920
 found

00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:28.100
 a

00:33:28.100 --> 00:33:28.380
 young

00:33:28.380 --> 00:33:28.700
 man

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:29.320
 behind

00:33:29.320 --> 00:33:29.660
 me.

00:33:30.420 --> 00:33:30.580
 And

00:33:30.580 --> 00:33:30.680
 I

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:30.820
 knew

00:33:30.820 --> 00:33:31.140
 I

00:33:31.140 --> 00:33:31.680
 just

00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:31.840
 didn't

00:33:31.840 --> 00:33:31.920
 know

00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:32.080
 what

00:33:32.080 --> 00:33:32.360
 to do.

00:33:32.460 --> 00:33:32.700
 But I

00:33:32.700 --> 00:33:32.900
 thought,

00:33:33.019 --> 00:33:34.120
 I just

00:33:34.120 --> 00:33:34.340
 couldn't

00:33:34.340 --> 00:33:34.700
 hide

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:34.940
 in

00:33:34.940 --> 00:33:35.140
 him.

00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:37.600
 I

00:33:37.600 --> 00:33:38.920
 just

00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:39.240
 did not

00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:39.400
 say

00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:39.600
 whether

00:33:39.600 --> 00:33:39.920
 I

00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:40.980
 knew

00:33:40.980 --> 00:33:41.180
 or

00:33:41.180 --> 00:33:41.360
 what,

00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:41.500
 I

00:33:41.500 --> 00:33:41.680
 don't

00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:41.759
 want

00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:41.860
 to

00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:42.000
 say

00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:42.120
 that

00:33:42.120 --> 00:33:42.299
 because

00:33:42.299 --> 00:33:42.420
 I

00:33:42.420 --> 00:33:42.600
 feel

00:33:42.600 --> 00:33:42.779
 so

00:33:42.779 --> 00:33:43.019
 bad.

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:43.279
 It

00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:43.440
 was

00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:43.779
 here

00:33:43.779 --> 00:33:43.980
 for

00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:44.400
 a few

00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:44.720
 years.

00:33:46.860 --> 00:33:47.360
 I

00:33:47.360 --> 00:33:48.799
 don't

00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:48.920
 know

00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:49.060
 why

00:33:49.060 --> 00:33:49.200
 they

00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:49.340
 put

00:33:49.340 --> 00:33:49.519
 my

00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:49.799
 face.

00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:50.799
 So I

00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:51.120
 really

00:33:51.120 --> 00:33:51.480
 had

00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:51.759
 this

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:52.360
 struggle

00:33:52.360 --> 00:33:52.700
 with me

00:33:52.700 --> 00:33:53.000
 when I

00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:53.240
 talked

00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:53.420
 to

00:33:53.420 --> 00:33:53.480
 the

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:53.680
 people.

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:54.039
 And I

00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:54.259
 found

00:33:54.259 --> 00:33:54.480
 that

00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:55.120
 he

00:33:55.120 --> 00:33:55.380
 came

00:33:55.380 --> 00:33:55.500
 there

00:33:55.500 --> 00:33:55.640
 for

00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:55.860
 two

00:33:55.860 --> 00:33:56.160
 years.

00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:57.039
 And

00:33:57.039 --> 00:33:57.200
 he

00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:57.940
 didn't

00:33:57.940 --> 00:33:58.160
 get

00:33:58.160 --> 00:33:58.360
 to

00:33:58.360 --> 00:33:58.559
 know

00:33:58.559 --> 00:33:58.920
 people.

00:33:59.299 --> 00:33:59.440
 And I

00:33:59.440 --> 00:33:59.779
 put him

00:33:59.779 --> 00:33:59.960
 down

00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:00.259
 and I

00:34:00.259 --> 00:34:00.519
 introduced

00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:00.920
 a lot

00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:00.960
 of

00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:01.180
 people.

00:34:01.779 --> 00:34:01.900
 And

00:34:01.900 --> 00:34:02.180
 this

00:34:02.180 --> 00:34:02.440
 young

00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:02.640
 man,

00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:02.799
 I

00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:03.140
 found

00:34:03.140 --> 00:34:03.319
 him

00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:03.480
 that

00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:03.620
 he

00:34:03.620 --> 00:34:04.620
 came

00:34:04.620 --> 00:34:04.759
 from

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:04.900
 a

00:34:04.900 --> 00:34:05.160
 Catholic

00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:05.640
 background.

00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:06.120
 And

00:34:06.120 --> 00:34:06.500
 someone

00:34:06.500 --> 00:34:06.819
 brought

00:34:06.819 --> 00:34:06.980
 me

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:07.099
 to

00:34:07.099 --> 00:34:07.180
 a

00:34:07.180 --> 00:34:07.440
 church.

00:34:07.740 --> 00:34:07.880
 He

00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:08.059
 came

00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:08.300
 about

00:34:08.300 --> 00:34:08.559
 two

00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:08.860
 months

00:34:08.860 --> 00:34:09.179
 already.

00:34:09.659 --> 00:34:09.860
 So

00:34:09.860 --> 00:34:10.099
 I

00:34:10.099 --> 00:34:10.500
 asked

00:34:10.500 --> 00:34:10.639
 him

00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:10.860

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:11.780
 He

00:34:11.780 --> 00:34:11.960
 said

00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:12.179
 no

00:34:12.179 --> 00:34:12.320
 I

00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:12.599
 don't

00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:12.860
 know

00:34:12.860 --> 00:34:12.880
.

00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:13.240
 Someone

00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:13.659
 brought

00:34:13.659 --> 00:34:13.799
 me

00:34:13.799 --> 00:34:13.959
 I

00:34:13.959 --> 00:34:14.179
 know

00:34:14.179 --> 00:34:14.399
 he

00:34:14.399 --> 00:34:14.639
 said.

00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:15.459
 Also

00:34:15.459 --> 00:34:15.939
 after

00:34:15.939 --> 00:34:16.099
 that

00:34:16.099 --> 00:34:16.239

00:34:17.379 --> 00:34:17.459
 I

00:34:17.459 --> 00:34:17.579
 had

00:34:17.579 --> 00:34:17.679
 to

00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:17.799
 do

00:34:17.799 --> 00:34:18.059
 something

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:18.239

00:34:19.059 --> 00:34:20.139

00:34:20.139 --> 00:34:22.379
 then

00:34:22.379 --> 00:34:22.579
 I

00:34:22.579 --> 00:34:23.059
 started

00:34:23.059 --> 00:34:23.959
 catching him

00:34:23.959 --> 00:34:24.379
 and then

00:34:24.379 --> 00:34:26.979

00:34:26.979 --> 00:34:27.219
 brought

00:34:27.219 --> 00:34:27.399

 saw

00:34:32.439 --> 00:34:32.679
 new

00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:33.000
 places

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:33.339
 I

00:34:33.339 --> 00:34:34.319
 said

00:34:34.319 --> 00:34:34.539
 yeah

00:34:34.539 --> 00:34:34.639
 I

00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:35.039
 went

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:35.179
 to

00:34:35.179 --> 00:34:35.339
 my

00:34:35.339 --> 00:34:35.639
 house

00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:36.339
 I

00:34:36.339 --> 00:34:37.139
 got

00:34:37.139 --> 00:34:37.339
 them

00:34:37.339 --> 00:34:37.899
 last

00:34:37.899 --> 00:34:38.079
 week

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:38.179
 to

00:34:38.179 --> 00:34:38.299
 my

00:34:38.299 --> 00:34:38.599
 house

00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:38.899
 with

00:34:38.899 --> 00:34:39.139
 another

00:34:39.139 --> 00:34:39.359
 group

00:34:39.359 --> 00:34:39.500
 of

00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:39.759
 people.

00:34:40.279 --> 00:34:40.739
 I

00:34:40.739 --> 00:34:41.000
 tried

00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:41.179
 to

00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:41.359
 do

00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:46.419
 I

00:34:46.419 --> 00:34:46.599
 thought

00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:46.919
 something

00:34:46.919 --> 00:34:47.139
 that

00:34:47.139 --> 00:34:47.339
 we

00:34:47.339 --> 00:34:47.579
 can

00:34:47.579 --> 00:34:47.739
 do

00:34:47.739 --> 00:34:48.059
 because

00:34:48.059 --> 00:34:49.119
 we

00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:49.359
 do

00:34:49.359 --> 00:34:49.559
 have

00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:49.839
 a lot

00:34:49.839 --> 00:34:49.959
 of

00:34:49.959 --> 00:34:50.159
 new

00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:50.539
 places

00:34:50.539 --> 00:34:50.839
 to

00:34:50.839 --> 00:34:51.119
 speak.

00:34:52.500 --> 00:34:52.739
 I

00:34:52.739 --> 00:34:52.919
 think

00:34:52.919 --> 00:34:53.299
 sometimes

00:34:53.299 --> 00:34:53.539
 we

00:34:53.539 --> 00:34:53.939
 miss

00:34:53.939 --> 00:34:54.500
 people.

00:34:55.379 --> 00:34:55.500
 So

00:34:55.500 --> 00:34:55.699
 why

00:34:55.699 --> 00:34:55.899
 I

00:34:55.899 --> 00:34:56.319
 think

00:34:56.319 --> 00:34:56.500
 that

00:34:56.500 --> 00:34:56.619
 I

00:34:56.619 --> 00:34:56.839
 like

00:34:56.839 --> 00:34:57.019
 to

00:34:57.019 --> 00:34:57.259
 touch

00:34:57.259 --> 00:34:57.479
 the

00:34:57.479 --> 00:34:57.659
 topic

00:34:57.659 --> 00:34:57.879
 that

00:34:57.879 --> 00:34:58.379
 sometimes

00:34:58.379 --> 00:34:58.799
 we

00:34:58.799 --> 00:35:00.219
 have

00:35:00.219 --> 00:35:00.339
 to

00:35:00.339 --> 00:35:00.500
 put

00:35:00.500 --> 00:35:00.619
 a

00:35:00.619 --> 00:35:00.839
 little

00:35:00.839 --> 00:35:01.139
 more

00:35:01.139 --> 00:35:01.659
 energy

00:35:01.659 --> 00:35:01.939
 to

00:35:01.939 --> 00:35:02.759
 see

00:35:02.759 --> 00:35:02.959
 the

00:35:02.959 --> 00:35:03.139
 new

00:35:03.139 --> 00:35:03.500
 places.

00:35:04.279 --> 00:35:04.679
 To

00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:05.019
 welcome

00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:05.379
 them

00:35:05.379 --> 00:35:05.659
 to

00:35:05.659 --> 00:35:05.979
 make

00:35:05.979 --> 00:35:06.159
 them

00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:06.339
 feel

00:35:06.339 --> 00:35:06.559
 at

00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:07.019
 home.

00:35:07.959 --> 00:35:08.079
 I

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:08.319
 think

00:35:08.319 --> 00:35:08.639
 that

00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:08.859
 is

00:35:08.859 --> 00:35:09.039
 a

00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:09.239
 very

00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:09.839
 important

00:35:09.839 --> 00:35:10.399
 part

00:35:10.399 --> 00:35:10.559
 that

00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:10.719
 we

00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:10.919
 need

00:35:10.919 --> 00:35:11.059
 to

00:35:11.059 --> 00:35:11.259
 do.

00:35:11.260 --> 00:35:12.260
 The

00:35:12.260 --> 00:35:12.740
 first

00:35:12.740 --> 00:35:13.760
 experience

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:14.360
 is so

00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:14.860
 important

00:35:14.860 --> 00:35:15.160
 for

00:35:15.160 --> 00:35:15.340
 the

00:35:15.340 --> 00:35:15.580
 new

00:35:15.580 --> 00:35:15.900
 people

00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:16.300
 actually.

00:35:16.820 --> 00:35:16.960
 You

00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:17.080
 know

00:35:17.080 --> 00:35:17.220
 that

00:35:17.220 --> 00:35:17.600
 I

00:35:17.600 --> 00:35:18.080

00:35:18.520 --> 00:35:18.820
 study

00:35:18.820 --> 00:35:19.080

00:35:19.080 --> 00:35:19.280

 people

00:35:20.140 --> 00:35:20.360
 and

00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:20.800

00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:20.980

 I

00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:16.539
 as

00:36:16.539 --> 00:36:16.639
 we're

00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:16.940
 talking

00:36:16.940 --> 00:36:17.139
 I'm

00:36:17.139 --> 00:36:17.519
 reminded

00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:17.739
 of

00:36:17.739 --> 00:36:17.860
 the

00:36:17.860 --> 00:36:18.320
 messengers

00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:19.619
 that

00:36:19.619 --> 00:36:19.960
 were sent

00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:20.139
 to

00:36:20.139 --> 00:36:20.460
 Abraham

00:36:20.460 --> 00:36:22.000
 and

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:22.739
 quickly

00:36:22.739 --> 00:36:23.039
 ran

00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:23.179
 it

00:36:23.179 --> 00:36:23.480
 come

00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:23.699
 on

00:36:23.699 --> 00:36:24.219
 let's

00:36:24.219 --> 00:36:25.119
 make

00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:25.920
 an

00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:26.339
 occasion

00:36:26.339 --> 00:36:26.819
 because

00:36:26.819 --> 00:36:28.000
 we have

00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:28.179
 these

00:36:28.179 --> 00:36:28.559
 people

00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:30.339
 and how

00:36:30.339 --> 00:36:31.619
 we miss

00:36:31.619 --> 00:36:32.159
 out

00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:33.579
 if we don't

00:36:33.579 --> 00:36:33.960
 make room

00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:34.500
 for people

00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:36.500
 because we don't know

00:36:36.500 --> 00:36:37.219
 who the Lord

00:36:37.219 --> 00:36:37.940
 is something else

00:36:37.940 --> 00:36:38.199
 to be

00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:40.380
 and Sharon

00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:40.839
 said that

00:36:40.839 --> 00:36:41.319
 so well

00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:42.220
 you know

00:36:42.220 --> 00:36:42.760
 I'd like to

00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:43.380
 add one

00:36:43.380 --> 00:36:43.740
 thing here

00:36:43.740 --> 00:36:43.940
 though

00:36:43.940 --> 00:36:44.280
 is we're

00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:45.019
 talking a lot

00:36:45.019 --> 00:36:45.280
 about

00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:45.780
 hospitality

00:36:45.780 --> 00:36:46.500
 in the

00:36:46.500 --> 00:36:46.820
 church

00:36:46.820 --> 00:36:47.860
 now

00:36:47.860 --> 00:36:48.460
 people

00:36:48.460 --> 00:36:49.240
 come in

00:36:49.240 --> 00:36:50.700
 and we

00:36:50.700 --> 00:36:51.140
 are called

00:36:51.140 --> 00:36:51.780
 to welcome

00:36:51.780 --> 00:36:52.640
 strangers

00:36:52.640 --> 00:36:53.240
 and guests

00:36:53.240 --> 00:36:54.340
 but we

00:36:54.340 --> 00:36:54.960
 kind of

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:55.500
 figure that

00:36:55.500 --> 00:36:55.780
 well they're

00:36:55.780 --> 00:36:56.039
 here for

00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:56.539
 some reason

00:36:56.539 --> 00:36:56.820
 right

00:36:56.820 --> 00:36:57.400
 they either

00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:57.940
 got invited

00:36:57.940 --> 00:36:58.460
 or they're

00:36:58.460 --> 00:36:58.900
 looking for

00:36:58.900 --> 00:36:59.320
 the Lord

00:36:59.320 --> 00:36:59.740
 or they're

00:36:59.740 --> 00:37:00.140
 lost

00:37:00.140 --> 00:37:00.680
 or they're

00:37:00.680 --> 00:37:01.120
 seeking

00:37:01.120 --> 00:37:02.120
 or they're

00:37:02.120 --> 00:37:02.660
 discerning

00:37:02.660 --> 00:37:03.120
 whether they

00:37:03.120 --> 00:37:03.680
 like their

00:37:03.680 --> 00:37:04.620
 old denomination

00:37:04.620 --> 00:37:05.100
 or a new

00:37:05.100 --> 00:37:05.300
 one

00:37:05.300 --> 00:37:05.559
 or they're

00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:06.039
 coming from

00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:06.420
 a bad

00:37:06.420 --> 00:37:07.019
 situation

00:37:07.019 --> 00:37:07.640
 at another

00:37:07.640 --> 00:37:07.920
 church

00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:08.240
 or they've

00:37:08.240 --> 00:37:08.640
 never been

00:37:08.640 --> 00:37:08.940
 in a

00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:09.180
 church

00:37:09.179 --> 00:37:10.399
 what about

00:37:10.399 --> 00:37:11.179
 when it's

00:37:11.179 --> 00:37:11.539

00:37:12.059 --> 00:37:13.559
 your neighborhood

00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:15.799
 it's a whole

00:37:15.799 --> 00:37:16.259
 different

00:37:16.259 --> 00:37:17.619
 ball of wax

00:37:17.619 --> 00:37:18.299
 because you've

00:37:18.299 --> 00:37:18.960
 got a lot

00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:19.460
 of unknowns

00:37:19.460 --> 00:37:20.039
 out there

00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:21.279
 at least

00:37:21.279 --> 00:37:21.839

00:37:21.839 --> 00:37:22.639

00:37:27.980 --> 00:37:28.480

00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:55.420
 the biblical

00:38:29.619 --> 00:38:30.340
 whole nother

00:38:30.340 --> 00:38:31.259
 that could be

00:38:31.259 --> 00:38:31.799
 a whole nother

00:38:31.799 --> 00:38:32.360
 comment

00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:34.920
 but I'd

00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:35.400
 like to ask

00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:35.699
 right now

00:38:35.699 --> 00:38:36.139
 what's

00:38:36.139 --> 00:38:36.880
 I think

00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:37.480
 with what

00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:37.980
 Sharon was

00:38:37.980 --> 00:38:38.539
 saying about

00:38:38.539 --> 00:38:39.239
 change your

00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:39.519
 seat

00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:41.000
 it's change

00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:41.639
 your perception

00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:42.480
 change your

00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:43.019
 viewpoint

00:38:43.019 --> 00:38:43.900
 of what you're

00:38:43.900 --> 00:38:44.400
 looking for

00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:44.960
 we all keep

00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:45.519
 saying it has

00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:46.000
 to come from

00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:46.360
 the heart

00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:47.579
 and that is

00:38:47.579 --> 00:38:47.779
 true

00:38:47.779 --> 00:38:48.159
 if it doesn't

00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:48.480
 come from

00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:48.779
 your heart

00:38:48.779 --> 00:38:49.219
 it's no

00:38:49.219 --> 00:38:49.779
 different than

00:38:49.779 --> 00:38:50.259
 somebody being

00:38:50.260 --> 00:38:50.460
 excited

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:51.320
 I'm so glad

00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:51.660
 you're here

00:38:51.660 --> 00:38:51.920
 and you

00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:52.720

00:38:52.720 --> 00:38:53.580

00:38:53.580 --> 00:38:54.100
 of my gym

00:38:54.100 --> 00:38:54.920
 because it

00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:55.200
 just made

00:38:55.200 --> 00:38:55.680
 money in my

00:38:55.680 --> 00:38:55.980
 pocket

00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:57.520
 that's not

00:38:57.520 --> 00:38:58.640
 a selfless

00:38:58.640 --> 00:38:59.680
 welcoming

00:38:59.680 --> 00:39:00.600
 I'm glad

00:39:00.600 --> 00:39:01.200
 you're here

00:39:01.200 --> 00:39:02.040
 they have to

00:39:02.040 --> 00:39:02.380
 reach their

00:39:02.380 --> 00:39:02.700
 quota

00:39:04.620 --> 00:39:05.100
 reach their

00:39:05.100 --> 00:39:05.380
 quota

00:39:05.380 --> 00:39:05.980
 right now

00:39:05.980 --> 00:39:06.440
 by the way

00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:06.760
 is the best

00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:07.180
 time to buy

00:39:07.180 --> 00:39:07.480
 a car

00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:07.820
 end of

00:39:07.820 --> 00:39:08.140
 November

00:39:08.140 --> 00:39:08.540
 end of

00:39:11.080 --> 00:39:11.340
 group

00:39:11.340 --> 00:39:11.680
 because they

00:39:11.680 --> 00:39:11.840
 have to

00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:12.340
 meet quotas

00:39:12.340 --> 00:39:12.860
 by the end

00:39:12.860 --> 00:39:13.280
 of the year

00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:14.340
 that's a

00:39:14.340 --> 00:39:15.400
 different kind

00:39:19.540 --> 00:39:19.800
 to say

00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:20.080

00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:24.940
 what ticks

00:39:24.940 --> 00:39:25.559
 you off

00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:26.019
 when

00:39:26.019 --> 00:39:27.559
 somebody says

00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:28.319
 you should

 be practicing

00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:29.920
 hospitality

00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:31.239

00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:31.799
 invite people

00:39:31.799 --> 00:39:32.139
 into your

00:39:32.139 --> 00:39:32.360
 home

00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:33.799

00:39:33.799 --> 00:39:34.259
 host a

 small group

00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:42.480
 number of

00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:42.880
 years ago

00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:43.179
 you would

00:39:43.179 --> 00:39:43.699
 be great

00:39:43.699 --> 00:39:44.139
 in charge

00:39:44.139 --> 00:39:44.679

00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:45.119
 ministries

00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:45.480
 and all

00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:46.059
 those wonderful

00:39:46.059 --> 00:39:46.460
 events

00:39:46.460 --> 00:39:47.539
 okay

00:39:47.539 --> 00:39:48.219
 if you want

00:39:48.219 --> 00:39:48.799
 to take care

00:39:48.799 --> 00:39:49.299
 of the garden

00:39:49.300 --> 00:39:49.740
 and mow

00:39:49.740 --> 00:39:50.300
 the lawn

00:39:50.300 --> 00:39:50.760
 and do

00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:51.420
 the fellowship

00:39:51.420 --> 00:39:51.960
 and do

00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:52.180
 that

00:39:52.180 --> 00:39:52.500
 I'd be

00:39:52.500 --> 00:39:53.200
 more than

00:39:53.200 --> 00:39:53.840
 happy

00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:55.400
 to do

00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:55.740
 that

00:39:55.740 --> 00:39:56.400
 and I

00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:57.000
 had to

00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:58.760
 calm down

00:39:58.760 --> 00:39:59.960
 and pray

00:39:59.960 --> 00:40:00.400
 about it

00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:00.700
 and talk

00:40:00.700 --> 00:40:00.940
 to a

00:40:00.940 --> 00:40:01.280
 pastor

00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:01.940
 about it

00:40:01.940 --> 00:40:03.420
 and how

00:40:03.420 --> 00:40:03.820
 do you

00:40:03.820 --> 00:40:04.380
 so what

00:40:04.380 --> 00:40:05.740
 everybody

00:40:05.740 --> 00:40:06.300
 you don't

00:40:06.300 --> 00:40:06.760
 I mean if you

00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:07.140
 don't feel like

00:40:07.140 --> 00:40:07.560
 sharing you

00:40:07.560 --> 00:40:07.920
 don't have

00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:08.240
 to but

00:40:08.240 --> 00:40:08.940
 it's easy

00:40:08.940 --> 00:40:09.240
 to look

00:40:09.240 --> 00:40:09.440
 at the

00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:09.740
 Bible

00:40:09.740 --> 00:40:10.560
 and say

00:40:10.560 --> 00:40:11.820
 I really

00:40:11.820 --> 00:40:12.300
 should try

00:40:12.300 --> 00:40:12.640
 to do

00:40:12.640 --> 00:40:13.220
 that more

00:40:13.219 --> 00:40:14.299
 but

00:40:14.299 --> 00:40:15.039
 I'm not

00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:15.719
 feeling it

00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:17.219
 and I

00:40:17.219 --> 00:40:17.579
 got a bad

00:40:17.579 --> 00:40:18.019
 experience

00:40:18.019 --> 00:40:18.699
 in the back

00:40:18.699 --> 00:40:19.079
 where I'm

00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:19.480
 not ever

00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:19.939
 doing that

00:40:19.939 --> 00:40:20.219
 again

00:40:20.219 --> 00:40:21.839
 so what's

00:40:21.839 --> 00:40:22.139
 the kind

00:40:22.139 --> 00:40:22.339
 of thing

00:40:22.339 --> 00:40:22.699
 that like

00:40:22.699 --> 00:40:23.339
 maybe it

00:40:23.339 --> 00:40:24.059
 doesn't matter

00:40:24.059 --> 00:40:24.639
 to get you

00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:25.039
 angry

00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:25.439
 but what

00:40:25.439 --> 00:40:26.480
 stands in

00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:27.359
 your way

00:40:27.359 --> 00:40:28.619
 maybe that's

00:40:28.619 --> 00:40:28.899
 better

00:40:28.899 --> 00:40:29.839
 Laura's shaking

00:40:29.839 --> 00:40:30.279
 her head

00:40:30.279 --> 00:40:31.159
 I mean you're

00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:31.859
 in a community

00:40:31.859 --> 00:40:33.159
 that you're

00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:33.659
 purposely

00:40:33.659 --> 00:40:34.659
 being a part

00:40:34.659 --> 00:40:35.199
 of a community

00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:35.799
 that is a

00:40:35.799 --> 00:40:36.819
 difficult community

00:40:36.819 --> 00:40:37.500
 to be a part

00:40:37.500 --> 00:40:38.139
 of according

00:40:38.139 --> 00:40:40.279

00:40:46.940 --> 00:40:48.039
 so what

00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:48.859
 what stands

00:40:48.859 --> 00:40:49.440
 in your way

00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:51.559
 of doing

00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:52.480
 what they

00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:54.339
 told us

00:40:54.339 --> 00:40:54.859
 in the Bible

00:40:54.859 --> 00:40:55.400
 we should be

00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:55.739
 doing

00:40:55.739 --> 00:40:59.219
 the house

00:40:59.219 --> 00:41:00.139
 being tidy

00:41:00.139 --> 00:41:00.779
 the house

00:41:00.779 --> 00:41:01.460
 being tidy

00:41:01.460 --> 00:41:02.119
 okay

00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:03.480
 all right

00:41:03.480 --> 00:41:04.019
 it might be

00:41:04.019 --> 00:41:05.039
 it might be

00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:05.339
 it might

00:41:05.339 --> 00:41:06.079
 really

00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:06.940
 like I can't

00:41:06.940 --> 00:41:07.359
 do it

00:41:07.359 --> 00:41:08.079
 you know

00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:09.199
 it's trashed

00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:09.980
 you know

00:41:09.980 --> 00:41:10.460
 it's not

00:41:10.460 --> 00:41:10.960
 it's not

00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:11.420
 enough

00:41:11.420 --> 00:41:12.200
 yeah

00:41:12.200 --> 00:41:14.539
 what else

00:41:14.539 --> 00:41:15.360
 I think

00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:17.460
 with having

00:41:17.460 --> 00:41:18.320
 four young

00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:18.739
 children

00:41:18.739 --> 00:41:19.440
 and thinking

00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:20.199
 of inviting

00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:21.619
 you know

00:41:21.619 --> 00:41:22.179
 people without

00:41:22.179 --> 00:41:22.619
 children

00:41:22.619 --> 00:41:23.159
 to our

00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:23.460
 home

00:41:23.460 --> 00:41:24.139
 for dinner

00:41:24.139 --> 00:41:26.099
 how do I

00:41:26.099 --> 00:41:26.820
 make them

00:41:26.820 --> 00:41:27.380
 be little

00:41:27.380 --> 00:41:27.980
 robots

00:41:27.980 --> 00:41:28.920
 and be perfect

00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:30.779
 that's not

00:41:30.779 --> 00:41:32.139
 real life

00:41:32.139 --> 00:41:33.380
 and so

00:41:33.380 --> 00:41:33.779
 just getting

00:41:33.779 --> 00:41:34.279
 over my

00:41:34.279 --> 00:41:34.980
 own fear

00:41:34.980 --> 00:41:35.420
 of like

00:41:35.420 --> 00:41:36.599
 how are we

00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:37.539
 being portrayed

00:41:37.539 --> 00:41:38.440
 to other

00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:38.940
 people

00:41:38.940 --> 00:41:41.380
 as parents

00:41:41.380 --> 00:41:43.860
 because I

00:41:43.860 --> 00:41:44.300
 don't remember

00:41:44.300 --> 00:41:44.700
 it saying

00:41:44.700 --> 00:41:45.240
 in the Bible

00:41:45.240 --> 00:41:45.760
 by the way

00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:46.340
 if you invite

00:41:46.340 --> 00:41:47.099
 somebody over

00:41:47.099 --> 00:41:48.119
 you can't

00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:48.360
 have your

00:41:48.360 --> 00:41:49.019
 children around

00:41:49.019 --> 00:41:50.099
 right

00:41:50.099 --> 00:41:50.679
 that wasn't

00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:51.019
 I don't

00:41:51.019 --> 00:41:51.360
 I don't

00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:51.900
 think that

00:41:51.900 --> 00:41:52.300
 was in the

00:41:52.300 --> 00:41:52.619
 Bible

00:41:52.619 --> 00:41:52.980
 that I

00:41:52.980 --> 00:41:53.380
 remember

00:41:53.380 --> 00:41:54.139
 right

00:41:54.139 --> 00:41:54.920
 or oh

00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:55.440
 by the way

00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:56.159
 you better

00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:56.579
 make sure

00:41:56.579 --> 00:41:56.960
 you only

00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:57.500
 have fresh

00:41:57.500 --> 00:41:57.860
 bread

00:41:57.860 --> 00:41:58.280
 from the

00:41:58.280 --> 00:41:58.559
 bakery

00:41:58.559 --> 00:41:59.179
 this morning

00:41:59.179 --> 00:42:02.059
 I cannot

00:42:02.059 --> 00:42:03.480
 deceive someone

00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:04.359
 to the standards

00:42:04.359 --> 00:42:05.059
 that these

00:42:05.059 --> 00:42:05.679
 people

00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:07.079
 are used

00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:07.419
 to

00:42:07.419 --> 00:42:07.859
 okay

00:42:07.859 --> 00:42:10.539
 what Dennis

00:42:10.539 --> 00:42:10.940
 is saying

00:42:10.940 --> 00:42:11.259
 is he

00:42:11.259 --> 00:42:11.559
 you know

00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:13.000
 he can't

00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:13.859
 receive

00:42:13.859 --> 00:42:15.259
 those people

00:42:15.259 --> 00:42:16.099
 to the standards

00:42:16.099 --> 00:42:16.639
 that they're

00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:17.419
 used to

00:42:17.419 --> 00:42:18.619
 entertaining

00:42:18.619 --> 00:42:19.859
 princes and

00:42:19.859 --> 00:42:20.619
 angels and

00:42:20.619 --> 00:42:21.440
 kings and

00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:21.940
 queens

00:42:21.940 --> 00:42:22.500
 you know

00:42:22.500 --> 00:42:23.399
 well if I

00:42:23.399 --> 00:42:23.719
 could have

00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:24.500
 Jesus at

00:42:24.500 --> 00:42:25.019
 my table

00:42:25.019 --> 00:42:25.539
 that was one

00:42:25.539 --> 00:42:25.899
 of the

00:42:25.899 --> 00:42:26.899
 titles that

00:42:26.899 --> 00:42:27.119
 we were

00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:27.599
 talking about

00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:27.940
 for this

00:42:27.940 --> 00:42:28.339
 class

00:42:28.339 --> 00:42:28.940
 is Jesus

00:42:28.940 --> 00:42:29.300
 at your

00:42:29.300 --> 00:42:29.599
 table

00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:30.480
 if I

00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:31.159
 can welcome

00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:31.860
 Jesus into

00:42:31.860 --> 00:42:32.500
 my home

00:42:32.500 --> 00:42:33.559
 and my

00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:34.019
 heart and

00:42:34.019 --> 00:42:34.300
 be here

00:42:34.300 --> 00:42:35.240
 why can't

00:42:35.240 --> 00:42:35.840
 I invite

00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:36.860
 that person

00:42:36.860 --> 00:42:39.539
 I think

00:42:39.539 --> 00:42:40.059
 sometimes

00:42:40.059 --> 00:42:40.920
 the fear

00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:42.000
 of I don't

00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:42.500
 know if

00:42:42.500 --> 00:42:43.619
 offense is

00:42:43.619 --> 00:42:44.039
 the right

00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:44.380
 word

00:42:44.380 --> 00:42:45.820
 but

00:42:45.820 --> 00:42:46.880
 especially

00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:47.440
 if you look

00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:48.260
 within our

00:42:48.260 --> 00:42:48.780
 neighborhood

00:42:48.780 --> 00:42:49.639
 right

00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:51.539
 and I feel

00:42:51.539 --> 00:42:52.099
 like we want

00:42:52.099 --> 00:42:52.619
 a pretty

00:42:52.619 --> 00:42:53.000
 tight

00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:54.000
 christianship

00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:54.340
 in our

00:42:54.340 --> 00:42:54.619
 home

00:42:54.619 --> 00:42:56.240
 you know

00:42:56.240 --> 00:42:56.539
 there's

00:42:56.539 --> 00:42:56.880
 scriptures

00:42:56.880 --> 00:42:57.320
 on the

00:42:57.320 --> 00:42:57.559
 wall

00:42:57.559 --> 00:42:57.940
 we ask

00:42:57.940 --> 00:42:58.360
 a blessing

00:42:58.360 --> 00:42:58.840
 over our

00:42:58.840 --> 00:42:59.180
 meals

00:42:59.180 --> 00:42:59.760
 and birthday

00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:00.160
 parties

00:43:00.160 --> 00:43:00.500
 for the

00:43:00.500 --> 00:43:00.780
 kids

00:43:00.780 --> 00:43:01.460
 we always

00:43:01.460 --> 00:43:03.920
 ask a

00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:04.280
 blessing

00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:05.660
 over whoever's

00:43:05.660 --> 00:43:06.000
 birthday

00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:06.460
 is

00:43:06.460 --> 00:43:07.160
 so I think

00:43:07.160 --> 00:43:07.700
 just sometimes

00:43:07.700 --> 00:43:08.579
 that like

00:43:08.579 --> 00:43:10.000
 sense of

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:10.800
 feeling like

00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:11.500
 the awkward

00:43:11.500 --> 00:43:12.099
 ones

00:43:12.099 --> 00:43:13.120
 people might

00:43:13.120 --> 00:43:14.079
 not really

00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:14.960
 kind of

00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:15.920
 understand

00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:17.900
 or not have

00:43:17.900 --> 00:43:18.780
 experience with

00:43:18.780 --> 00:43:20.120
 like what it

00:43:20.120 --> 00:43:20.760
 looks like to

00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:21.579
 actually live

00:43:21.579 --> 00:43:21.920
 out

00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:22.920
 do you think

00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:22.940
 do you think

00:43:22.940 --> 00:43:23.780
 do you think

00:43:23.780 --> 00:43:24.300
 it has anything

00:43:24.300 --> 00:43:24.860
 to do with

00:43:24.860 --> 00:43:25.440
 about how

00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:26.579
 we're

00:43:26.579 --> 00:43:27.099
 thinking

00:43:27.099 --> 00:43:28.260
 we're perceiving

00:43:28.260 --> 00:43:28.639
 what other

00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:29.220
 people think

00:43:29.220 --> 00:43:29.800
 of us

00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:30.519
 like

00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:32.820
 you know

00:43:32.820 --> 00:43:33.079
 some

00:43:33.079 --> 00:43:33.559
 people I

00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:33.980
 think for

00:43:33.980 --> 00:43:35.000
 me personally

00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:35.719
 it's more

00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:36.219
 like I

00:43:36.219 --> 00:43:36.559
 don't want

00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:36.920
 to scare

00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:37.420
 you off

00:43:37.420 --> 00:43:38.440
 you know

00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:38.779
 like I

00:43:38.779 --> 00:43:39.059
 don't want

00:43:39.059 --> 00:43:39.279
 you to

00:43:39.279 --> 00:43:39.840
 feel so

00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:40.239
 uncomfortable

00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:40.880
 that now

00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:41.139
 you don't

00:43:41.139 --> 00:43:41.400
 want to

00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:41.759
 come to

00:43:41.759 --> 00:43:42.119
 the next

00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:42.840
 birthday party

00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:43.219
 or the

00:43:43.219 --> 00:43:44.139
 next cookout

00:43:44.139 --> 00:43:45.079
 you know

00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:46.079
 so and I

00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:46.440
 know that's

00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:47.159
 not ultimately

00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:48.319
 up to me

00:43:48.319 --> 00:43:49.139
 to decide

00:43:49.139 --> 00:43:49.599
 but like

00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:50.139
 that's

00:43:50.139 --> 00:43:50.619
 sometimes

00:43:50.619 --> 00:43:51.079
 where my

00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:52.299
 mind

00:43:52.299 --> 00:43:52.599
 and my

00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:52.860
 heart

00:43:52.860 --> 00:43:53.279
 is at

00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:54.060
 I know

00:43:54.060 --> 00:43:55.000
 yeah

00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:56.360
 like we're

00:43:56.360 --> 00:43:56.780
 writing it

00:43:56.780 --> 00:43:57.280
 right now

00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:58.540
 because it

00:43:58.540 --> 00:43:59.120
 might mean

00:43:59.120 --> 00:44:00.040
 reconfiguring

00:44:00.040 --> 00:44:00.540
 all the

00:44:00.540 --> 00:44:00.880
 books in

00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:01.620
 our dining room

00:44:01.620 --> 00:44:03.500
 yeah

00:44:03.500 --> 00:44:04.540
 we are

00:44:04.540 --> 00:44:05.300
 interacting

00:44:05.300 --> 00:44:05.760
 with people

00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:06.540
 who are

00:44:06.540 --> 00:44:07.100
 definitely

00:44:07.100 --> 00:44:07.460
 not

00:44:07.460 --> 00:44:07.900
 Christian

00:44:07.900 --> 00:44:09.160
 but maybe

00:44:09.160 --> 00:44:09.780
 consider themselves

00:44:09.780 --> 00:44:10.260
 spiritual

00:44:10.260 --> 00:44:10.860
 or open

00:44:10.860 --> 00:44:11.240
 or at least

00:44:11.240 --> 00:44:11.800
 still talking

00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:12.180
 to us

00:44:12.180 --> 00:44:12.880
 I want to

00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:13.160
 have them

00:44:13.160 --> 00:44:13.400
 over

00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:13.920
 but I'm

00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:14.960
 sitting in

00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:15.240
 the seat

00:44:15.240 --> 00:44:15.500
 where they

00:44:15.500 --> 00:44:15.880
 would be

00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:16.280
 and my

00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:16.820
 eye goes

00:44:16.820 --> 00:44:17.280
 to the

00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:17.720
 blood of

00:44:17.720 --> 00:44:18.080
 Christ

00:44:18.080 --> 00:44:19.240
 washing

00:44:19.240 --> 00:44:19.920
 the blood

00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:24.760
 so now

00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:25.059
 it's like

00:44:25.059 --> 00:44:25.300
 a real

00:44:25.300 --> 00:44:25.720
 practical

00:44:25.720 --> 00:44:26.119
 issue

00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:26.599
 for me

00:44:26.599 --> 00:44:27.079
 because

00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:28.200
 us

00:44:28.200 --> 00:44:29.000
 at least

00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:29.260
 me

00:44:29.260 --> 00:44:31.599
 I don't

00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:31.920
 want them

00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:32.159
 to feel

00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:32.519
 comfortable

00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:33.420
 I don't

00:44:33.420 --> 00:44:33.659
 like

00:44:33.659 --> 00:44:34.519
 they can

00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:34.940
 be curious

00:44:34.940 --> 00:44:35.320
 and ask

00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:35.880
 tell me

00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:36.300
 about that

00:44:36.300 --> 00:44:36.599
 spine

00:44:36.599 --> 00:44:37.000
 that sounds

00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:37.740
 pretty radical

00:44:37.740 --> 00:44:38.700
 I feel

00:44:38.700 --> 00:44:38.940
 a little

00:44:38.940 --> 00:44:39.480
 uncomfortable

00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:41.659
 I'm willing

00:44:41.659 --> 00:44:41.900
 to have

00:44:41.900 --> 00:44:42.500
 that conversation

00:44:42.500 --> 00:44:43.320
 but I also

00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:44.340
 want to be

00:44:44.340 --> 00:44:45.680
 hospitable

00:44:45.680 --> 00:44:46.460
 and think

00:44:46.460 --> 00:44:47.440
 of them

00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:47.980
 and how

00:44:47.980 --> 00:44:48.500
 they might

00:44:48.500 --> 00:44:49.039
 feel

00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:49.519
 in this

00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:49.900
 space

00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:50.500
 I know

00:44:50.500 --> 00:44:50.860
 he has

00:44:50.860 --> 00:44:52.000
 all the

00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:52.260
 Bible

00:44:52.260 --> 00:44:52.639
 verses

00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:53.180
 he wrote

00:44:53.180 --> 00:44:53.539
 everything

00:44:53.539 --> 00:44:53.900
 down

00:44:53.900 --> 00:44:54.539
 but

00:44:54.539 --> 00:44:55.059
 something

00:44:55.059 --> 00:44:55.559
 came

00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:56.820
 to me

00:44:56.820 --> 00:44:57.079
 when

00:44:57.079 --> 00:44:57.659
 you just

00:44:57.659 --> 00:44:57.860
 said

00:44:57.860 --> 00:44:58.360
 it's a

00:44:58.360 --> 00:44:58.840
 come as

00:44:58.840 --> 00:44:59.280
 you are

00:44:59.280 --> 00:44:59.700
 party

00:44:59.700 --> 00:45:00.940
 this is

00:45:00.940 --> 00:45:01.559
 my sister

00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:02.000
 over here

00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:02.320
 in case

00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:02.740
 you don't

00:45:02.740 --> 00:45:03.000
 know

00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:03.500
 she's my

00:45:03.500 --> 00:45:03.800
 older

00:45:03.800 --> 00:45:04.260
 sister

00:45:04.260 --> 00:45:04.639
 Donna

00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:05.780
 and

00:45:05.780 --> 00:45:06.599
 in

00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:06.860
 biblical

00:45:06.860 --> 00:45:07.280
 times

00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:07.639
 it was

00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:08.099
 come as

00:45:08.099 --> 00:45:08.579
 you are

00:45:08.579 --> 00:45:09.480
 right

00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:10.800
 there was

00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:11.559
 no pretense

00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:12.099
 it was

00:45:12.099 --> 00:45:12.840
 here my

00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:13.139
 Lord

00:45:13.139 --> 00:45:13.720
 send me

00:45:13.720 --> 00:45:14.700
 come as

00:45:14.700 --> 00:45:15.300
 you are

00:45:15.300 --> 00:45:16.440
 those who

00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:16.920
 are weary

00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:17.420
 and

00:45:17.420 --> 00:45:18.680
 heavy burden

00:45:18.680 --> 00:45:19.099
 and I

00:45:19.099 --> 00:45:19.480
 will give

00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:20.039
 you rest

00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:21.619
 my mother

00:45:21.619 --> 00:45:22.259
 used to have

00:45:22.259 --> 00:45:22.759
 come as

00:45:22.759 --> 00:45:23.059
 you are

00:45:23.059 --> 00:45:23.440
 parties

00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:24.259
 has anybody

00:45:24.259 --> 00:45:25.179
 heard of a

00:45:25.179 --> 00:45:25.539
 come as

00:45:25.539 --> 00:45:25.839
 you are

00:45:25.839 --> 00:45:26.199
 party

00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:27.599
 and it

00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:28.159
 struck me

00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:28.579
 while we

00:45:28.579 --> 00:45:29.259
 were putting

00:45:29.259 --> 00:45:29.779
 these verses

00:45:29.779 --> 00:45:30.199
 back and

00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:30.400
 forth

00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:31.420
 now that

00:45:31.420 --> 00:45:31.819
 was in the

00:45:31.819 --> 00:45:32.159
 neighborhood

00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:33.940
 put your books

00:45:33.940 --> 00:45:34.259
 away

00:45:34.259 --> 00:45:35.239
 well you know

00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:35.719
 what those

00:45:35.719 --> 00:45:36.460
 are your books

00:45:36.460 --> 00:45:37.519
 it might be a

00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:38.000
 vehicle for

00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:38.579
 discussion

00:45:38.579 --> 00:45:40.039
 it might be

00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:41.339
 well that's a

00:45:41.339 --> 00:45:41.940
 little heavy

00:45:41.940 --> 00:45:42.579
 reading right now

00:45:42.579 --> 00:45:43.079
 but we'll talk

00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:43.699
 about it later

00:45:43.699 --> 00:45:44.460
 you know

00:45:44.460 --> 00:45:46.159
 my mother

00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:46.659
 would just

00:45:46.659 --> 00:45:48.059
 call people

00:45:48.059 --> 00:45:48.339
 in the

00:45:48.339 --> 00:45:48.639
 neighborhood

00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:49.639
 then you

00:45:49.639 --> 00:45:49.799
 had a

00:45:49.799 --> 00:45:50.179
 phone tree

00:45:50.179 --> 00:45:50.480
 you didn't

00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:51.019
 have texting

00:45:51.019 --> 00:45:51.599
 right so

00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:51.960
 you had a

00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:52.480
 phone tree

00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:52.779
 and you

00:45:52.779 --> 00:45:53.419
 knew everybody's

00:45:53.419 --> 00:45:53.899
 phone number

00:45:53.899 --> 00:45:54.960
 and it was

00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:55.500
 a come as

00:45:55.500 --> 00:45:55.799
 you are

00:45:55.799 --> 00:45:56.179
 party

00:45:56.179 --> 00:45:56.619
 and it

00:45:56.619 --> 00:45:56.899
 would be

00:45:56.899 --> 00:45:57.719
 after the

00:45:57.719 --> 00:45:58.119
 kids

00:45:58.119 --> 00:45:58.980
 were going

00:45:58.980 --> 00:45:59.359
 to sleep

00:45:59.359 --> 00:45:59.859
 or almost

00:45:59.859 --> 00:46:00.259
 ready to

00:46:00.259 --> 00:46:00.759
 go to sleep

00:46:00.759 --> 00:46:02.000
 and you

00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:02.759
 would come

00:46:02.759 --> 00:46:03.559
 as you

00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:04.000
 are

00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:04.779
 you might

00:46:04.779 --> 00:46:05.059
 be in

00:46:05.059 --> 00:46:05.559
 your pajamas

00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:06.139
 already

00:46:06.139 --> 00:46:07.719
 Mrs. Hyman

00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:08.199
 always had

00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:08.899
 rollers in her

00:46:08.899 --> 00:46:09.159
 hair

00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:09.799
 because she

00:46:09.799 --> 00:46:10.119
 was one

00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:10.339
 of the

00:46:10.339 --> 00:46:10.759
 moms that

00:46:10.759 --> 00:46:11.099
 went back

00:46:11.099 --> 00:46:11.439
 to work

00:46:11.439 --> 00:46:12.000
 part time

00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:13.000
 there would

00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:13.300
 be the

00:46:13.300 --> 00:46:13.619
 other one

00:46:13.619 --> 00:46:13.980
 that just

00:46:13.980 --> 00:46:14.559
 came from

00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:15.019
 feral

00:46:15.019 --> 00:46:15.800
 industries

00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:16.760
 or the

00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:17.039
 roofer

00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:17.579
 that still

00:46:17.579 --> 00:46:17.880
 smelled

00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:18.639
 like sawdust

00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:19.519
 and they

00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:19.880
 would just

00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:20.539
 bring whatever

00:46:20.539 --> 00:46:20.920
 they had in

00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:21.219
 their fridge

00:46:21.219 --> 00:46:21.719
 a snack

00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:22.539
 a something

00:46:22.539 --> 00:46:23.860
 and they

00:46:23.860 --> 00:46:24.199
 would just

00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:24.599
 gather

00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:25.760
 for a year

00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:26.719
 a month

00:46:26.719 --> 00:46:28.039
 they'd do it

00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:28.579
 at one house

00:46:28.579 --> 00:46:29.280
 the next month

00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:29.719
 they'd do it

00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:30.119
 at another

00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:30.440
 house

00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:31.280
 there was no

00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:31.639
 pretense

00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:32.099
 now some

00:46:32.099 --> 00:46:32.679
 people would

00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:33.179
 start getting

00:46:33.179 --> 00:46:33.760
 kind of goofy

00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:34.840
 and they'd put

00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:35.400
 on crazy

00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:35.920
 pajamas

00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:36.760
 or a silly

00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:37.539
 hat or something

00:46:37.539 --> 00:46:38.480
 but it was a

00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:39.059
 way for the

00:46:39.059 --> 00:46:39.780
 adults in the

00:46:39.780 --> 00:46:40.300
 neighborhood to

00:46:40.300 --> 00:46:40.800
 get to know

00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:41.179
 each other

00:46:41.179 --> 00:46:41.699
 when life

00:46:41.699 --> 00:46:41.960
 got

00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:42.340
 in the

00:46:42.340 --> 00:46:42.599
 way

00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:43.900
 but it

00:46:43.900 --> 00:46:44.099
 was

00:46:44.099 --> 00:46:44.719
 I remember

00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:45.559
 being in

00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:46.260
 my bedroom

00:46:46.260 --> 00:46:47.239
 like listening

00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:47.699
 to them

00:46:47.699 --> 00:46:48.320
 laugh

00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:49.659
 and share

00:46:49.659 --> 00:46:50.199
 stories

00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:50.760
 and share

00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:51.539
 their lives

00:46:51.539 --> 00:46:53.059
 and it

00:46:53.059 --> 00:46:53.559
 was really

00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:54.340
 something that

00:46:54.340 --> 00:46:55.159
 struck me

00:46:55.159 --> 00:46:57.199
 I'm sure

00:46:57.199 --> 00:46:59.159
 in the 1960s

00:46:59.159 --> 00:46:59.619
 and 70s

00:46:59.619 --> 00:47:00.199
 there was some

00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:01.420
 alcohol involved

00:47:01.420 --> 00:47:02.420
 you know

00:47:02.420 --> 00:47:03.800
 there was always

00:47:03.800 --> 00:47:05.019
 what was it

00:47:05.019 --> 00:47:05.420
 Miller

00:47:05.420 --> 00:47:06.320
 Schlitz

00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:06.860
 you know

00:47:06.860 --> 00:47:07.219
 one of the

00:47:07.219 --> 00:47:07.860
 old time

00:47:07.860 --> 00:47:08.219
 beers

00:47:08.219 --> 00:47:09.360
 but not to

00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:09.780
 an excess

00:47:09.780 --> 00:47:10.680
 it was just

00:47:10.680 --> 00:47:11.640
 a pot of

00:47:11.640 --> 00:47:11.920
 coffee

00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:12.400
 was on

00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:14.340
 and I'd

00:47:14.340 --> 00:47:14.680
 like to

00:47:14.680 --> 00:47:15.540
 think that

00:47:15.540 --> 00:47:17.040
 so many

00:47:17.040 --> 00:47:17.560
 of those

00:47:17.560 --> 00:47:17.980
 bible

00:47:17.980 --> 00:47:18.680
 interactions

00:47:18.680 --> 00:47:19.260
 will come

00:47:19.260 --> 00:47:19.580
 as you

00:47:19.580 --> 00:47:19.900
 are

00:47:19.900 --> 00:47:21.200
 interactions

00:47:21.200 --> 00:47:22.360
 without worrying

00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:24.340
 about the

00:47:24.340 --> 00:47:24.900
 four kids

00:47:24.900 --> 00:47:25.760
 that were still

00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:26.380
 screaming

00:47:26.380 --> 00:47:27.720
 or not brushing

00:47:27.720 --> 00:47:28.200
 their teeth

00:47:28.200 --> 00:47:28.440
 yet

00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:29.680
 or you know

00:47:29.680 --> 00:47:30.600
 that I didn't

00:47:30.600 --> 00:47:31.220
 have a totally

00:47:31.220 --> 00:47:32.140
 clean house

00:47:32.140 --> 00:47:33.240
 and you know

00:47:33.239 --> 00:47:35.399
 I would really

00:47:35.399 --> 00:47:36.139
 hope that we

00:47:36.139 --> 00:47:36.739
 could get over

00:47:36.739 --> 00:47:37.659
 that and

00:47:37.659 --> 00:47:39.259
 just think about

00:47:39.259 --> 00:47:40.239
 what would

00:47:40.239 --> 00:47:41.099
 God have us

00:47:41.099 --> 00:47:42.219
 do right now

00:47:42.219 --> 00:47:43.939
 yeah

00:47:43.939 --> 00:47:44.439
 I think

00:47:44.439 --> 00:47:46.059
 your last phrase

00:47:46.059 --> 00:47:46.319
 there

00:47:46.319 --> 00:47:47.139
 is really

00:47:47.139 --> 00:47:48.179
 important

00:47:48.179 --> 00:47:48.539
 what would

00:47:48.539 --> 00:47:49.039
 God have us

00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:49.219
 do

00:47:49.219 --> 00:47:49.719
 because I

00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:49.939
 think

00:47:49.939 --> 00:47:50.539
 for some

00:47:50.539 --> 00:47:51.000
 of us

00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:51.759
 you know

00:47:51.759 --> 00:47:52.359
 some people

00:47:52.359 --> 00:47:52.879
 really are

00:47:52.879 --> 00:47:53.399
 gifted in

00:47:53.399 --> 00:47:53.859
 this area

00:47:53.859 --> 00:47:54.679
 you sound

00:47:54.679 --> 00:47:55.000
 like one

00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:55.259
 of those

00:47:55.259 --> 00:47:55.619
 people

00:47:55.619 --> 00:47:57.339
 many people

00:47:57.339 --> 00:47:57.619
 on this

00:47:57.619 --> 00:47:57.839
 room

00:47:57.839 --> 00:47:58.339
 who have

00:47:58.339 --> 00:47:58.759
 sort of

00:47:58.759 --> 00:47:59.199
 a spiritual

00:47:59.199 --> 00:47:59.579
 gift

00:47:59.579 --> 00:48:00.199
 of hospitality

00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:01.219
 and then

00:48:01.219 --> 00:48:01.480
 there are

00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:01.759
 those of

00:48:01.759 --> 00:48:02.059
 us who

00:48:02.059 --> 00:48:02.539
 don't feel

00:48:02.539 --> 00:48:03.119
 that that's

00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:03.619
 what our

00:48:03.619 --> 00:48:04.199
 gift is

00:48:04.199 --> 00:48:05.179
 but that

00:48:05.179 --> 00:48:05.799
 certainly

00:48:05.799 --> 00:48:06.139
 doesn't

00:48:06.139 --> 00:48:06.939
 exempt us

00:48:06.939 --> 00:48:08.199
 from participation

00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:08.839
 and we're

00:48:08.839 --> 00:48:09.539
 called to that

00:48:09.539 --> 00:48:11.059
 but I think

00:48:11.059 --> 00:48:12.179
 maybe the

00:48:12.179 --> 00:48:12.879
 challenge for

00:48:12.879 --> 00:48:13.439
 those of us

00:48:13.439 --> 00:48:14.139
 who don't

00:48:14.139 --> 00:48:14.739
 feel gifted

00:48:14.739 --> 00:48:15.319
 in this area

00:48:15.319 --> 00:48:16.279
 is to pray

00:48:16.279 --> 00:48:17.179
 you know

00:48:17.179 --> 00:48:17.719
 to ask

00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:18.659
 the Holy Spirit

00:48:18.659 --> 00:48:19.500
 to prompt us

00:48:19.500 --> 00:48:20.039
 who is that

00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:20.679
 person

00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:23.000
 what is that

00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:23.619
 opportunity

00:48:23.619 --> 00:48:24.159
 may I have

00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:24.639
 my eyes

00:48:24.639 --> 00:48:25.019
 opened

00:48:25.019 --> 00:48:26.359
 when you

00:48:26.359 --> 00:48:26.799
 bring that

00:48:26.799 --> 00:48:27.219
 person

00:48:27.219 --> 00:48:28.779
 but that may

00:48:28.779 --> 00:48:29.139
 be even

00:48:29.139 --> 00:48:29.819
 more important

00:48:29.820 --> 00:48:31.160
 to trust

00:48:31.160 --> 00:48:31.500
 God

00:48:31.500 --> 00:48:32.140
 with what

00:48:32.140 --> 00:48:32.580
 the result

00:48:32.580 --> 00:48:32.940
 is

00:48:32.940 --> 00:48:33.880
 I think

00:48:33.880 --> 00:48:34.220
 that's

00:48:34.220 --> 00:48:34.660
 where the

00:48:34.660 --> 00:48:35.059
 time

00:48:35.059 --> 00:48:36.039
 comes in

00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:36.680
 and not

00:48:36.680 --> 00:48:37.059
 the time

00:48:37.059 --> 00:48:37.420
 to go

00:48:37.420 --> 00:48:37.720
 because we

00:48:37.720 --> 00:48:37.940
 still have

00:48:37.940 --> 00:48:38.440
 ten minutes

00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:39.960
 but you

00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:40.539
 might not

00:48:40.539 --> 00:48:40.980
 have the

00:48:40.980 --> 00:48:41.360
 gift of

00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:42.019
 hospitality

00:48:42.019 --> 00:48:42.460
 to have

00:48:42.460 --> 00:48:42.760
 somebody

00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:43.039
 in your

00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:43.340
 home

00:48:43.340 --> 00:48:44.360
 but have

00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:44.620
 you ever

00:48:44.620 --> 00:48:45.120
 given a

00:48:45.120 --> 00:48:45.800
 person a

00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:46.260
 ride to a

00:48:46.260 --> 00:48:46.920
 doctor appointment

00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:48.440
 have you

00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:49.180
 just called

00:48:49.180 --> 00:48:49.720
 somebody on

00:48:49.720 --> 00:48:50.180
 the phone

00:48:50.180 --> 00:48:50.840
 to ask how

00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:51.400
 they're doing

00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:52.360
 haven't seen

00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:52.800
 you at church

00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:53.140
 in a few

00:48:53.140 --> 00:48:53.380
 weeks

00:48:53.380 --> 00:48:53.780
 is everything

00:48:53.780 --> 00:48:54.120
 okay

00:48:54.120 --> 00:48:55.680
 or sit

00:48:55.680 --> 00:48:56.120
 down and

00:48:56.120 --> 00:48:56.640
 write out a

00:48:56.640 --> 00:48:57.200
 card that

00:48:57.200 --> 00:48:57.680
 says hey

00:48:57.680 --> 00:48:58.640
 I'm thinking

00:48:58.640 --> 00:48:59.140
 of you

00:48:59.139 --> 00:49:00.420
 let me

00:49:00.420 --> 00:49:00.719
 know how

00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:00.980
 I can

00:49:00.980 --> 00:49:01.319
 pray for

00:49:01.319 --> 00:49:01.500
 you

00:49:01.500 --> 00:49:02.339
 those are

00:49:02.339 --> 00:49:03.000
 all ways

00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:03.879
 of hospitality

00:49:03.879 --> 00:49:05.639
 because it's

00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:06.159
 coming from

00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:06.539
 the heart

00:49:06.539 --> 00:49:07.179
 and it's

00:49:07.179 --> 00:49:07.799
 giving of

00:49:07.799 --> 00:49:08.599
 your time

00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:09.679
 which is

00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:10.639
 always in

00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:11.299
 real

00:49:11.299 --> 00:49:12.900
 crunch

00:49:12.900 --> 00:49:13.920
 that many

00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:14.220
 of us

00:49:14.220 --> 00:49:14.619
 worry

00:49:14.619 --> 00:49:15.380
 very much

00:49:15.380 --> 00:49:15.840
 about what

00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:16.280
 the result

00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:16.619
 is going

00:49:16.619 --> 00:49:16.880
 to be

00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:17.700
 will that

00:49:17.700 --> 00:49:18.619
 person

00:49:18.619 --> 00:49:19.099
 leave my

00:49:19.099 --> 00:49:19.400
 house

00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:19.740
 thinking

00:49:19.740 --> 00:49:20.160
 well those

00:49:20.160 --> 00:49:20.599
 people are

00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:20.820
 really

00:49:20.820 --> 00:49:21.220
 weird

00:49:21.220 --> 00:49:22.519
 that was a

00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:22.820
 terrible

00:49:22.820 --> 00:49:23.119
 meal

00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:24.340
 and I think

00:49:24.340 --> 00:49:25.220
 maybe just

00:49:25.220 --> 00:49:25.880
 trusting God

00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:26.800
 with whatever

00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:27.400
 that is

00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:28.340
 this person

00:49:28.340 --> 00:49:30.340
 let God

00:49:30.340 --> 00:49:30.860
 take care of

00:49:30.860 --> 00:49:31.900
 the experiences

00:49:31.900 --> 00:49:32.539
 this person

00:49:32.539 --> 00:49:32.940
 has in

00:49:32.940 --> 00:49:33.360
 their home

00:49:33.360 --> 00:49:34.320
 or at the

00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:34.980
 coffee shop

00:49:34.980 --> 00:49:35.700
 or when I

00:49:35.700 --> 00:49:36.079
 talk with

00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:36.460
 them after

00:49:36.460 --> 00:49:36.860
 church

00:49:36.860 --> 00:49:38.200
 less worried

00:49:38.200 --> 00:49:38.960
 about how

00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:40.019
 we look

00:49:40.019 --> 00:49:41.420
 it's a

00:49:41.420 --> 00:49:41.759
 challenge

00:49:41.759 --> 00:49:42.259
 it's hard

00:49:42.259 --> 00:49:43.320
 somebody in

00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:43.599
 the back

00:49:43.599 --> 00:49:45.179
 making a

00:49:45.179 --> 00:49:45.579
 bunch

00:49:45.579 --> 00:49:46.639
 to your

00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:46.920
 neighbors

00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:48.259
 and we

00:49:48.259 --> 00:49:48.840
 don't invite

00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:49.719
 people in

00:49:49.719 --> 00:49:50.239
 so much

00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:51.659
 as I

00:49:51.659 --> 00:49:52.019
 bring

00:49:52.019 --> 00:49:53.800
 things

00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:55.079
 to the

00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:55.460
 next one

00:49:55.460 --> 00:49:56.179
 there's two

00:49:56.179 --> 00:49:56.820
 twins that

00:49:56.820 --> 00:49:57.179
 are busy

00:49:57.179 --> 00:49:57.659
 all the time

00:49:57.659 --> 00:49:58.159
 she's working

00:49:58.159 --> 00:49:58.659
 all the time

00:49:58.659 --> 00:49:59.119
 her husband's

00:49:59.119 --> 00:49:59.500
 working all

00:49:59.500 --> 00:49:59.860
 the time

00:49:59.860 --> 00:50:00.480
 I walk

00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:00.880
 over with

00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:01.300
 a dessert

00:50:01.300 --> 00:50:03.219
 walk across

00:50:03.219 --> 00:50:03.619
 the street

00:50:03.619 --> 00:50:04.179
 to the other

00:50:04.179 --> 00:50:04.559
 couple

00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:05.699
 that he's

00:50:05.699 --> 00:50:06.179
 working all

00:50:06.179 --> 00:50:06.539
 the time

00:50:06.539 --> 00:50:07.000
 she's a

00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:07.300
 teacher

00:50:07.300 --> 00:50:07.739
 and there's

00:50:07.739 --> 00:50:08.079
 two little

00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:08.440
 children

00:50:08.440 --> 00:50:09.199
 under the

00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:09.539
 age of

00:50:09.539 --> 00:50:09.880
 by

00:50:09.880 --> 00:50:10.840
 and

00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:12.599
 they're

00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:12.940
 not

00:50:12.940 --> 00:50:13.639
 available

00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:14.300
 necessarily

00:50:14.300 --> 00:50:15.019
 to come

00:50:15.019 --> 00:50:16.320
 in for a

00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:16.539
 meal

00:50:16.539 --> 00:50:17.480
 if you

00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:18.059
 invited them

00:50:18.059 --> 00:50:18.400
 they feel

00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:18.719
 guilty

00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:19.420
 that you

00:50:19.420 --> 00:50:20.159
 invited them

00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:20.400
 and they

00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:21.360
 can't reciprocate

00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:21.880
 or whatever

00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:22.639
 but you

00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:23.000
 go over

00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:23.279
 with a

00:50:23.279 --> 00:50:23.539
 plate of

00:50:23.539 --> 00:50:23.860
 cookies

00:50:23.860 --> 00:50:24.239
 you go

00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:24.360
 over

00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:25.039
 with some

00:50:25.039 --> 00:50:25.579
 brownies

00:50:25.579 --> 00:50:26.460
 or you

00:50:26.460 --> 00:50:27.199
 had half

00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:27.539
 a pie

00:50:27.539 --> 00:50:28.079
 left over

00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:28.480
 you thought

00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:28.880
 of them

00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:29.500
 and you

00:50:29.500 --> 00:50:29.900
 bring it

00:50:29.900 --> 00:50:31.059
 and you're

00:50:31.059 --> 00:50:31.380
 building

00:50:31.380 --> 00:50:31.800
 bridges

00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:33.480
 I haven't

00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:33.820
 seen

00:50:33.820 --> 00:50:34.539
 full lots

00:50:34.539 --> 00:50:35.019
 of results

00:50:35.019 --> 00:50:35.400
 yet

00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:36.880
 but you're

00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:37.139
 building

00:50:37.139 --> 00:50:37.500
 bridges

00:50:37.500 --> 00:50:37.900
 so they

00:50:37.900 --> 00:50:38.139
 feel

00:50:38.139 --> 00:50:38.719
 comfortable

00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:40.679
 that you're

00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:40.939
 there

00:50:40.939 --> 00:50:41.839
 I think

00:50:41.839 --> 00:50:42.079
 that's

00:50:42.079 --> 00:50:42.359
 important

00:50:42.359 --> 00:50:42.579
 it's

00:50:42.579 --> 00:50:42.980
 let God

00:50:42.980 --> 00:50:43.259
 do the

00:50:43.259 --> 00:50:43.480
 work

00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:44.079
 I'm not

00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:44.399
 saving

00:50:44.399 --> 00:50:44.859
 anybody

00:50:44.859 --> 00:50:46.919
 I might

00:50:46.919 --> 00:50:47.219
 not even

00:50:47.219 --> 00:50:47.459
 be the

00:50:47.459 --> 00:50:47.679
 one that

00:50:47.679 --> 00:50:48.199
 really leads

00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:48.500
 them to

00:50:48.500 --> 00:50:48.899
 the Lord

00:50:48.899 --> 00:50:50.519
 but let

00:50:50.519 --> 00:50:51.379
 God do

00:50:51.379 --> 00:50:51.799
 the work

00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:54.140
 I was

00:50:54.140 --> 00:50:54.380
 going to

00:50:54.380 --> 00:50:54.720
 add

00:50:54.720 --> 00:50:57.519
 someone

00:50:57.519 --> 00:50:57.820
 might

00:50:57.820 --> 00:50:58.120
 never

00:50:58.120 --> 00:50:58.440
 step

00:50:58.440 --> 00:50:58.880
 foot

00:50:58.880 --> 00:50:59.180
 inside

00:50:59.180 --> 00:50:59.340
 a

00:50:59.340 --> 00:50:59.580
 church

00:50:59.580 --> 00:50:59.800
 like

00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:00.019
 I'm

00:51:00.019 --> 00:51:00.180
 never

00:51:00.180 --> 00:51:00.460
 going

00:51:00.460 --> 00:51:00.680
 there

00:51:00.680 --> 00:51:01.100
 but they

00:51:01.100 --> 00:51:01.240
 might

00:51:01.240 --> 00:51:01.580
 accept

00:51:01.580 --> 00:51:02.420
 foot

00:51:02.420 --> 00:51:02.840
 they might

00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:03.140
 walk

00:51:03.140 --> 00:51:03.519
 into your

00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:03.780
 house

00:51:03.780 --> 00:51:04.160
 for dinner

00:51:04.160 --> 00:51:05.900
 and that's

00:51:05.900 --> 00:51:06.240
 a bridge

00:51:06.240 --> 00:51:06.519
 that we

00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:06.960
 can build

00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:07.480
 I don't

00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:07.519
 do

00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:07.539
 you

00:51:07.539 --> 00:51:07.760
 have to

00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:20.380
 say

00:51:20.380 --> 00:51:20.599
 God

00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:20.880
 what do you

00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:21.300
 want me

00:51:21.300 --> 00:51:21.920
 to do

00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:22.940
 put yourself

00:51:22.940 --> 00:51:23.380
 second

00:51:23.380 --> 00:51:23.800
 instead of

00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:24.159
 first

00:51:24.159 --> 00:51:25.760
 also

00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:26.900
 as to

00:51:26.900 --> 00:51:27.579
 bringing

00:51:27.579 --> 00:51:28.019
 pie to

00:51:28.019 --> 00:51:28.340
 somebody's

00:51:28.340 --> 00:51:28.659
 house

00:51:28.659 --> 00:51:29.180
 or whatever

00:51:29.180 --> 00:51:30.599
 when you

00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:31.139
 can welcome

00:51:31.139 --> 00:51:31.659
 people into

00:51:31.659 --> 00:51:32.119
 your house

00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:33.760
 that's fine

00:51:33.760 --> 00:51:34.599
 if you don't

00:51:34.599 --> 00:51:35.260
 feel comfortable

00:51:35.260 --> 00:51:35.740
 with that

00:51:35.740 --> 00:51:36.500
 take yourself

00:51:36.500 --> 00:51:37.460
 out there

00:51:37.460 --> 00:51:38.440
 I do

00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:39.099
 lots of

00:51:39.099 --> 00:51:39.699
 volunteer work

00:51:39.699 --> 00:51:39.980
 at food

00:51:39.980 --> 00:51:40.519
 pantries

00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:41.980
 and homeless

00:51:41.980 --> 00:51:42.320
 shelters

00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:42.760
 and stuff

00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:43.820
 and I'm

00:51:43.820 --> 00:51:44.079
 giving

00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:44.820
 and I am

00:51:44.820 --> 00:51:45.240
 thrilled

00:51:45.240 --> 00:51:47.280
 and that's

00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:47.800
 good news

00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:48.820
 but you have

00:51:48.820 --> 00:51:49.260
 to find out

00:51:49.260 --> 00:51:49.579
 where you

00:51:49.579 --> 00:51:50.179
 fit in this

00:51:50.179 --> 00:51:50.599
 you don't

00:51:50.599 --> 00:51:51.199
 necessarily

00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:51.920
 have to have

00:51:51.920 --> 00:51:52.240
 the gift

00:51:52.240 --> 00:51:52.599
 that Rhee

00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:52.920
 has

00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:53.679
 that Kirsten

00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:53.920
 has

00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:54.179
 for

00:51:54.179 --> 00:51:54.940
 my nickname

00:51:54.940 --> 00:51:55.380
 is Rhee

00:51:55.380 --> 00:51:55.980
 by the way

00:51:55.980 --> 00:51:57.599
 for

00:51:57.599 --> 00:51:58.360
 hospitality

00:51:58.360 --> 00:51:59.039
 but other

00:51:59.039 --> 00:51:59.440
 people do

00:51:59.440 --> 00:51:59.820
 have that

00:51:59.820 --> 00:52:00.199
 but you

00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:00.780
 have something

00:52:00.780 --> 00:52:01.099
 else

00:52:01.099 --> 00:52:01.519
 besides

00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:01.699
 that

00:52:01.699 --> 00:52:02.139
 even if

00:52:02.139 --> 00:52:02.300
 it's

00:52:02.300 --> 00:52:02.860
 the goodness

00:52:02.860 --> 00:52:03.119
 out of

00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:03.460
 your heart

00:52:03.460 --> 00:52:03.740
 it doesn't

00:52:03.740 --> 00:52:04.059
 have to be

00:52:04.059 --> 00:52:04.500
 term

00:52:04.500 --> 00:52:05.519
 hospitality

00:52:05.519 --> 00:52:06.880
 third

00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:07.099
 thing

00:52:07.099 --> 00:52:07.380
 is

00:52:07.380 --> 00:52:08.320
 we have

00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:08.780
 family in

00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:10.720

 1990

00:52:12.220 --> 00:52:13.800
 because

00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:14.840
 a cousin

00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:15.559
 challenged me

00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:15.900
 she said

00:52:15.900 --> 00:52:16.440
 Nana used to

00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:17.119

00:52:17.660 --> 00:52:17.900
 and there's

00:52:17.900 --> 00:52:18.260
 plenty of

00:52:18.260 --> 00:52:18.460
 people

00:52:18.460 --> 00:52:18.780
 why don't

 I'm like

00:52:20.180 --> 00:52:21.019
 I'm not going

00:52:21.019 --> 00:52:21.480
 to find them

00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:21.940

00:52:21.940 --> 00:52:23.280

00:52:35.579 --> 00:52:35.800
 course

00:52:35.800 --> 00:52:36.039
 there was

00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:36.200
 some

00:52:36.200 --> 00:52:36.660
 panic about

00:52:36.660 --> 00:52:37.019
 where we

00:52:37.019 --> 00:52:37.699
 stay

00:52:37.699 --> 00:52:38.179
 what we

00:52:38.179 --> 00:52:38.759
 do

00:52:38.759 --> 00:52:39.639
 how much

00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:39.940
 money

00:52:39.940 --> 00:52:40.219
 will it

00:52:40.219 --> 00:52:40.679
 cost you

00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:41.199
 you know

00:52:41.199 --> 00:52:41.579
 the real

00:52:41.579 --> 00:52:42.259
 deal is

00:52:42.259 --> 00:52:42.860
 you pay

00:52:42.860 --> 00:52:43.099
 for the

00:52:43.099 --> 00:52:43.480
 airfare

00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:44.420
 you go

00:52:44.420 --> 00:52:44.739
 to Norway

00:52:44.739 --> 00:52:46.059
 and the way

00:52:46.059 --> 00:52:46.579
 they put it

00:52:46.579 --> 00:52:47.420
 is we all

00:52:47.420 --> 00:52:47.719
 eat

00:52:47.719 --> 00:52:48.500
 you know

00:52:48.500 --> 00:52:48.920
 we all

00:52:48.920 --> 00:52:49.400
 sleep

00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:50.400
 there's floors

00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:51.099
 in our houses

00:52:51.099 --> 00:52:51.599
 and we have

00:52:51.599 --> 00:52:52.300
 sleeping bags

00:52:52.300 --> 00:52:53.380
 so why

00:52:53.380 --> 00:52:53.820
 worry about

00:52:53.820 --> 00:52:54.119
 all these

00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:54.960
 other things

00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:55.440
 that would

00:52:55.440 --> 00:52:56.159
 prevent you

00:52:56.159 --> 00:52:56.539
 from making

00:52:56.539 --> 00:52:57.059
 the decision

00:52:57.059 --> 00:52:58.019
 to just

00:52:58.019 --> 00:52:58.480
 be

00:52:58.480 --> 00:52:59.239
 with someone

00:52:59.239 --> 00:52:59.599
 else

00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:00.539
 yeah

00:53:00.539 --> 00:53:00.559
 yeah

00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:01.960
 thank you

00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:02.400
 for that

00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:03.179
 I want

00:53:03.179 --> 00:53:03.719
 to conclude

00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:04.199
 with just

00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:05.639
 some scriptures

00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:07.139
 and one

00:53:07.139 --> 00:53:07.799
 thing we

00:53:07.799 --> 00:53:08.400
 didn't mention

00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:09.039
 which the

00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:09.519
 scriptures

00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:10.779
 speak on

00:53:10.779 --> 00:53:11.980
 is partiality

00:53:11.980 --> 00:53:13.539
 partiality

00:53:13.539 --> 00:53:14.699
 kills the love

00:53:14.699 --> 00:53:15.219
 for strangers

00:53:15.219 --> 00:53:15.679
 and it's

00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:15.960
 interesting

00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:16.639
 in Deuteronomy

00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:17.079
 10

00:53:17.079 --> 00:53:18.900
 before God

00:53:18.900 --> 00:53:19.819
 says to his

00:53:19.819 --> 00:53:20.440
 people to love

00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:21.000
 the stranger

00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:21.380
 he says

00:53:21.380 --> 00:53:22.339
 I am not

00:53:22.339 --> 00:53:22.819
 partial

00:53:22.819 --> 00:53:23.380
 nor do I

00:53:23.380 --> 00:53:24.039
 take a bribe

00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:26.199
 but the

00:53:26.199 --> 00:53:26.420
 Lord

00:53:26.420 --> 00:53:27.099
 you know

00:53:27.099 --> 00:53:27.340
 he says

00:53:27.340 --> 00:53:27.900
 for the

00:53:27.900 --> 00:53:28.199
 Lord your

00:53:28.199 --> 00:53:28.400
 God

00:53:28.400 --> 00:53:28.619
 is the

00:53:28.619 --> 00:53:28.920
 God of

00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:29.139
 God

00:53:29.139 --> 00:53:29.320
 and the

00:53:29.320 --> 00:53:29.639
 Lord of

00:53:29.639 --> 00:53:29.840
 Lords

00:53:29.840 --> 00:53:30.000

00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:30.219
 great

00:53:30.219 --> 00:53:30.380

00:53:30.380 --> 00:53:30.619
 mighty

00:53:30.619 --> 00:53:30.880
 and the

00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:31.179
 awesome

00:53:31.179 --> 00:53:31.460
 God

00:53:31.460 --> 00:53:31.820
 who does

00:53:31.820 --> 00:53:32.219
 not show

00:53:32.219 --> 00:53:32.900
 partiality

00:53:32.900 --> 00:53:33.300
 nor take

00:53:33.300 --> 00:53:33.719
 a bribe

00:53:33.719 --> 00:53:34.779
 he executes

00:53:34.779 --> 00:53:35.119
 justice

00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:35.440
 for the

00:53:35.440 --> 00:53:36.059
 orphan

00:53:36.059 --> 00:53:36.559
 and for

00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:36.759
 the

00:53:36.759 --> 00:53:36.980
 widow

00:53:36.980 --> 00:53:37.500
 and shows

00:53:37.500 --> 00:53:37.759
 his love

00:53:37.759 --> 00:53:38.019
 for the

00:53:38.019 --> 00:53:38.279
 alien

00:53:38.279 --> 00:53:38.679
 by giving

00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:38.880
 him

00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:39.159
 food

00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:39.340
 and

00:53:39.340 --> 00:53:39.639
 clothing

00:53:39.639 --> 00:53:40.440
 so

00:53:40.440 --> 00:53:40.800
 show

00:53:40.800 --> 00:53:40.960
 your

00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:41.179
 love

00:53:41.179 --> 00:53:41.360
 for

00:53:41.360 --> 00:53:41.559
 the

00:53:41.559 --> 00:53:42.340
 alien

00:53:42.340 --> 00:53:43.599
 and

00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:43.860
 it's

00:53:43.860 --> 00:53:44.539
 clear

00:53:44.539 --> 00:53:44.940
 that's

00:53:44.940 --> 00:53:45.659
 one of

00:53:45.659 --> 00:53:46.059
 the things

00:53:46.059 --> 00:53:46.539
 that prevents

00:53:46.539 --> 00:53:46.920
 us from

00:53:46.920 --> 00:53:47.119
 loving

00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:47.579
 strangers

00:53:47.579 --> 00:53:49.039
 is

00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:49.840
 a

00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:50.559
 favoritism

00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:50.980
 toward

00:53:50.980 --> 00:53:51.360
 a certain

00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:54.380
 line

00:53:54.380 --> 00:53:54.679
 in the

00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:54.960
 corner

00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:55.400
 of your

00:53:55.400 --> 00:53:56.259
 neighborhood

00:53:56.259 --> 00:53:57.079
 that's

00:53:57.079 --> 00:53:57.320
 kind of

00:53:57.320 --> 00:53:57.639
 spooky

00:53:57.639 --> 00:53:58.460
 for

00:53:58.460 --> 00:53:58.860
 Halloween

00:53:58.860 --> 00:53:59.360
 Melissa

00:53:59.360 --> 00:53:59.539
 and I

00:53:59.539 --> 00:53:59.679
 were

00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:00.219
 joking

00:54:00.219 --> 00:54:00.500
 about

00:54:00.500 --> 00:54:00.739
 that

00:54:00.739 --> 00:54:02.739
 you know

00:54:02.739 --> 00:54:03.219
 and

00:54:03.219 --> 00:54:04.380
 Jesus

00:54:04.380 --> 00:54:05.519
 healing

00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:05.719
 the

00:54:05.719 --> 00:54:06.039
 lepers

00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:07.320
 he's

00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:07.960
 washing

00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:08.159
 his

00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:08.559
 disciples

00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:09.000
 feet

00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:10.659
 and

00:54:10.659 --> 00:54:11.659
 this

00:54:11.659 --> 00:54:11.920
 clue

00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:12.519
 conclude

00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:12.679
 with

00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:12.820
 Luke

00:54:12.820 --> 00:54:13.259
 14

00:54:13.259 --> 00:54:14.239
 Jesus

00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:14.579
 tells

00:54:14.579 --> 00:54:15.300
 us

00:54:15.300 --> 00:54:16.119
 he said

00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:16.340
 to the

00:54:16.340 --> 00:54:16.500
 man
