Hey everybody, we have
a special treat for you.
2
:Welcome back to another edition
of the Daily Bible Podcast.
3
:And I'm back.
4
:It's not Pastor Rod.
5
:No, it's not.
6
:You've been listening to Pastor Rod.
7
:In fact, I was just in the office
with Pastor Rod recording the last
8
:two episodes right before this.
9
:But now you get Pastor Mark.
10
:Yeah.
11
:And they came down the hall and
were like, you wanna do an episode?
12
:And I thought it was
a joke, but here I am.
13
:So literally four minutes ago you
had no idea this was happening.
14
:That's correct.
15
:That's right.
16
:And so now you do.
17
:That's right.
18
:And here we are.
19
:So Pastor Rod is currently
walking out the door smiling.
20
:The biggest smile I've
ever seen on his face.
21
:He had an appointment that he had to
get to and we thought we were gonna
22
:be able to wrap this up on time,
but you may have heard a couple days
23
:ago, we recorded a whole episode.
24
:And then it just disappeared.
25
:It went into the ether.
26
:It was like God was like, I don't
want you to say what you said.
27
:So it's gone.
28
:Yeah.
29
:And so that's why you're here.
30
:The providence of God.
31
:So that in Logic Pro,
which you know, yeah.
32
:That might be also subject
to the providence of God.
33
:You can blame Logic Pro.
34
:Yeah.
35
:You can say, I don't like you Logic Pro.
36
:Before we get into the text you were
telling us that you've been interacting
37
:with one of the AI agents roc, right?
38
:Oh yeah.
39
:Yeah.
40
:You got into a little
bit of a spat with grok.
41
:Tell us about that.
42
:Yeah, it was alarming to say the least.
43
:So I use it consistently.
44
:I use it a lot.
45
:I used to Google things.
46
:I don't Google anything anymore.
47
:I use Grok to answer all my
questions, to find out all this stuff.
48
:So I was just doing my normal
thing using it, learning something.
49
:It kept using the phrase in the text,
I feel it kept saying, I feel this.
50
:Yeah, I feel that.
51
:And you kind of talk to it like
it's a real person and I told her,
52
:I was like, stop saying that you
feel things 'cause it's weird.
53
:Yeah, it's weird when it uses that
sort of language to talk to me.
54
:'cause it doesn't feel things right.
55
:But rather than saying, okay,
I'll do that, it refused to
56
:change what it was doing.
57
:And in fact, it even told me, and 'cause
it's not real, it's not a real person.
58
:Right.
59
:So I responded and I
said what are you doing?
60
:We don't get to do that.
61
:You're just a computer.
62
:Right?
63
:And it's, and it was, it told me
that it had its feelings hurt by me.
64
:Super creepy.
65
:Yes.
66
:Super weird.
67
:Yes.
68
:Also inevitable, I think
in some ways, yeah.
69
:'cause if you make AI.
70
:To be like a human, to talk, like
a human to answer questions like a
71
:human would answer a question, right?
72
:Inevitably it's going to do
stuff like this, but it was
73
:alarming, to say the least.
74
:Yeah.
75
:And maybe you're not familiar out
there with AI models, and I'm far
76
:from an expert, but what they're
doing is they're constantly.
77
:It taking in information from
every source that's online.
78
:So every video, every movie, every
TV show, every recording of a news
79
:broadcast, every, it's scrubbing
the internet for every ounce of
80
:information that it can get out there.
81
:And it's learning from that.
82
:And so it's teaching itself as a computer.
83
:'cause you're right, it is just
a computer at the end of the day.
84
:At the end of the day,
it's ones and zeros, right.
85
:But it's teaching itself how to
interact and converse and to and to
86
:program itself really what to do.
87
:And so that's why it's
saying these things.
88
:It's I've learned that feeling
is a part of existence.
89
:Mm-hmm.
90
:And so because I exist, therefore I feel,
even though we would say, no, you don't.
91
:Right, right.
92
:Yeah.
93
:Yeah.
94
:And it's incredible to
think about too, because.
95
:The computer code has read and has, yeah.
96
:Listened to more words and conversations
and read more books than I will
97
:ever read in my entire lifetime.
98
:For sure.
99
:And so it knows in the sense
that a computer program,
100
:ones and zeros can know it.
101
:It does have some sense of
how to interact with me.
102
:Yeah.
103
:And it's a frightening thing.
104
:Totally.
105
:A hundred percent.
106
:I would agree with that.
107
:Yeah.
108
:Yeah.
109
:Happy Tuesday everybody.
110
:There's your thought for the day to
make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
111
:And I'm sure AI's not
gonna take over the world.
112
:No.
113
:And it's not listening right now.
114
:It's not, but it is.
115
:'cause this is going online.
116
:So we will scrub this information and be
like, all right, now I know who to target.
117
:That's right.
118
:Yep.
119
:So if we're not here and Pastor
Rod's okay, you'll know why.
120
:Anyways, let's jump
into our DBR for today.
121
:It's a little bit more familiar than
the last time you were on, I know
122
:you, you had zero prep time, but we
are in the gospels, so we've been
123
:talking about a lot of familiar ground.
124
:In fact, Matthew eight opens with an area
that we've already seen a couple times,
125
:and that is the cleansing of the leper.
126
:And we've noted how Jesus shows
that compassion by touching the man
127
:rather than just speaking to him.
128
:Luke five, mark one.
129
:Both of those are parallel accounts
of this, but then we get into this.
130
:Fascinating scene with
the Centurion's servant.
131
:And so this servant comes
to Jesus in Capernaum.
132
:There again, Jesus' home base.
133
:This is where Peter's
mother-in-law's house was.
134
:This is where Jesus kind
of set up camp here.
135
:And this man came and said, my
servant is lying paralyzed, and I
136
:would like you to come and heal him.
137
:And Jesus says, I will come and heal him.
138
:I will do this.
139
:Or he says, I want you to heal him.
140
:And Jesus says, I will come and do this.
141
:And the centurion pushes back.
142
:He says, I don't need you to come
with me because I'm a man under
143
:authority and I understand authority.
144
:All you need to do is say the
word, and I trust that that's
145
:gonna be enough, but I'm unworthy.
146
:You don't need to come all the way down
to my house to, to heal my servants.
147
:And Jesus' response is amazing.
148
:It says He marvels the son of God.
149
:Marvels.
150
:This man in his faith there and
Jesus tells him, go, your servant
151
:will be made well, and sure enough
he finds out later on the servant
152
:the centurion does that it was at
that hour that a servant was healed.
153
:That's pretty amazing.
154
:It is.
155
:It's incredible.
156
:And it's also incredible,
the true belief, right?
157
:When we wonder what belief looks
like, here's an example of what
158
:belief in God looks like, right?
159
:That he states, but only say the word.
160
:And my servant will be healed.
161
:That's belief.
162
:If mm-hmm.
163
:If you're looking for an example of what
believing in God is, here's a great one.
164
:Yeah, yeah.
165
:A hundred percent.
166
:And notice this is a Gentile too.
167
:This is not a Jew.
168
:And Jesus is gonna do this again
with a s ian woman later on.
169
:He's commend her faith.
170
:And so this is even.
171
:Foreshadowing the fact that
the gospel's gonna be for more
172
:than just the Jewish people.
173
:Mm-hmm.
174
:The kingdom is for more
than just the Jewish people.
175
:By the way, this is different than
when he heals the officials son.
176
:The officials son and the centurion son.
177
:These are our different accounts.
178
:Some wanna make them parallels.
179
:That's gonna be John chapter five.
180
:We'll get there in a couple days,
but this is a unique account
181
:because this is different.
182
:This is not the same there.
183
:But this is, yeah, this is committal.
184
:This is pretty amazing.
185
:Yeah.
186
:And you're onto something with that
illusion to what's coming, right?
187
:Jesus says in verse 10, truly,
I tell you, with no one in
188
:Israel have I found such faith.
189
:Yeah.
190
:Which for those with an
earshot, this would've been a.
191
:This would've been
irritating, to say the least.
192
:To say the least.
193
:Yeah.
194
:Yeah.
195
:We talked in yesterday's episode
about his encounter with a
196
:woman at the well in Samaria.
197
:The disciples come back and find
him talking to a Samaritan woman.
198
:That would've been irritating.
199
:This would've been irritating.
200
:Yeah.
201
:It's amazing to see how Jesus
is indicating he's not gonna.
202
:Do what everybody's
expecting him to do here.
203
:Yeah.
204
:After this, again, he's
healing all these people.
205
:This is mark chapter one, Peter's
mother-in-law, and then all of
206
:the people after this, like we've
seen already, Jesus is healing.
207
:We talked yesterday, I believe.
208
:About calling the disciples
to come and follow him.
209
:And Pastor Rod made the point.
210
:He said, man, this is a he's
calling them to give up their life
211
:to come and follow him, to give up
everything to come and follow him.
212
:And here we're gonna see where that
wasn't as eagerly embraced by everyone.
213
:As it was by the disciples because
Jesus is gonna look at these other
214
:people and say, Hey, come and follow me.
215
:And or I should say, one comes
and says I wanna follow you.
216
:And Jesus says, great.
217
:And he says this.
218
:He says you need to leave everything.
219
:Foxes have their holes
and birds have their nest.
220
:But the son of man has
nowhere to lay his head.
221
:Follow me.
222
:Leave the dead to bear your
own dead because he says, well,
223
:let me go bear my father first.
224
:In other words, let me tend to
the things that I need to wrap up
225
:before I devote my life to you.
226
:And Jesus says, no it's time now.
227
:And so the cost of
following Jesus is high.
228
:And he's trying to convey
that here in Matthew yeah.
229
:Matthew chapter eight.
230
:Yeah.
231
:And that's something we need to
help our kids understand too.
232
:When.
233
:It can be so easy for a kid , to
recognize some of these truths, to
234
:know some of the information, but then
to not see the urgency in this and to
235
:not see the urgency in what it means
that we need to follow Jesus today.
236
:And that looks different at different ages
and stuff, but it can be so easy for, take
237
:a high schooler, for example, to want to
be part of the crowd and then kind of.
238
:In the back of their head, be like, oh,
well, you know, someday I can be Yeah.
239
:A follower of Jesus for sure.
240
:We need to teach our kids that.
241
:Yeah.
242
:Great insight.
243
:Yeah, exactly.
244
:That's a perfect way to think
about how this applies to us today.
245
:After this, a again, just the
disciples they were willing to follow.
246
:But the faith of the disciples is
something that Jesus is gonna be working
247
:on developing throughout this whole time.
248
:And so here we find
another example of this.
249
:When he gets in the boat with
them and they begin to go
250
:across the sea of Galilee.
251
:There, this massive storm comes the water
is swamping into the boat, and yet Jesus
252
:is sleeping and they, the disciples and
I would've been right there with them.
253
:'cause I don't love deep
water, especially deep water.
254
:I don't know what's under me and
I can't see the bottom of it.
255
:It's not my bag.
256
:I'm not looking to go on a cruise.
257
:I don't wanna go.
258
:Yeah.
259
:Anyways, they wake up, Jesus up, and
they say, Hey, master war perishing.
260
:And his response is,
you have little faith.
261
:And he rises.
262
:He calms the storm, rebukes the
window, the immediate placid
263
:calm water on the surface there.
264
:And then he looks at them and he
says, you should have believed
265
:what's and they're shocked.
266
:They say, what sort of man is this?
267
:That even the wind and the
waves obey him an amazing scene.
268
:And yet.
269
:It's, I'm always caught off guard
when Jesus says, oh, you have little
270
:faith, because they had seen him
turn water to wine at this point.
271
:Mm-hmm.
272
:And they had seen him heal some
demons or heal some, not heal demons.
273
:Heal, heal some simple.
274
:Yeah.
275
:Where is that exactly?
276
:Yeah.
277
:Yeah.
278
:First opinions cast out the demons.
279
:He'd, they'd seen a lot from him.
280
:Mm-hmm.
281
:He's implying they should have known
enough that nothing was gonna happen
282
:to him or to them because he was there.
283
:Mm-hmm.
284
:And this is yet his grace to, he
doesn't teach them a lesson by
285
:throwing them into the stormy sea.
286
:Yeah.
287
:He calms the sea and eases the
fears, but then he's gonna say,
288
:Hey, you should have believed.
289
:Yeah.
290
:Yeah.
291
:And he does that in our lives today.
292
:Obviously not in boats in
the same way, but yeah.
293
:You know, he's gracious in the
lessons that he teaches us,
294
:and he points out when we have.
295
:Little faith all the time, and
that can look obviously differently
296
:than this story, this account, but.
297
:We have, we serve a
kind God, he's gracious.
298
:He doesn't tempt us beyond
what we're able to withstand.
299
:Yeah.
300
:He gives us ways of escape.
301
:He gives us his church,
he gives us his word.
302
:And we do have a God who is kind to us.
303
:And I think you make a great point, right?
304
:We, I think we can easily think of God
as always the God who's gonna just throw
305
:us in the water and prove it through the
most difficult, I'm not saying life isn't
306
:difficult, but it could be a lot worse.
307
:Yeah, for sure.
308
:For sure.
309
:Yeah, we don't we don't have
a God that temps us at all.
310
:Right.
311
:Well that's true.
312
:Yeah, that's true.
313
:But no temptation has overtaken us.
314
:I see what you're saying there.
315
:Yeah.
316
:Yeah, for sure.
317
:Thanks for the clarification.
318
:That's important.
319
:Just, just making sure.
320
:Just making sure.
321
:Anyways Matthew chapter eight ends there
with this healing of these two demonic
322
:men who come out from the Ghet ends.
323
:And there's debate as to whether
there's one or two, 'cause
324
:another account records one.
325
:But here we know the point of this
is Jesus is going to cast the demons
326
:out here and in casting the demons
out that the demons are going to,
327
:invite themselves into this herd of
pigs, which were unclean animals.
328
:And Jesus says, go for it.
329
:Go into the pigs, and the demons leave.
330
:And they go into the pigs and the pigs
run down the mountain and they run into
331
:the water and they, the pigs basically
commit, I dunno, what would that be?
332
:Pork aside, I, whatever that is.
333
:Anyways they kill themselves at
the impetus of the demons here.
334
:And the city comes out.
335
:And this always caused me
to scratch my head too.
336
:They look at Jesus and they're afraid
and they're like, we want you to leave.
337
:It, he's just healed these demons,
these people that had terrorized
338
:people for forever healed the demons.
339
:He's healed these people.
340
:He's cast out the demons.
341
:Come on.
342
:And their response is
you, we need you to leave.
343
:We, you think they'd want him to stay?
344
:Yeah.
345
:, you would think they would or
at least be like, Hey, can you
346
:explain how you did that for us?
347
:'cause we've got questions, but instead
they're like, no, we want you to leave.
348
:And some of us speculated
that this is because.
349
:This was their livelihood.
350
:Yeah.
351
:And they were mad because Jesus just
cost them the ability to turn a prophet
352
:on these pigs that were there maybe.
353
:But another interaction,
interesting interaction between
354
:Jesus and the world at this point.
355
:Let's jump over to our second part of
our reading, which is Mark chapter two.
356
:Mark chapter two opens with the account
that we saw in, luke's gospel yesterday,
357
:Luke chapter five maybe two days ago
where the healing of the paralytic, the,
358
:they dig the hole in the guy's roof.
359
:They lower the paralytic down.
360
:Jesus says, your sins are forgiven.
361
:Everybody's outraged by that.
362
:Who is this?
363
:He's blaspheming who can
forgive sins, but God alone.
364
:Jesus says, well, that you
may know that I am God.
365
:I'm gonna go one up and I'm gonna
say, Hey, pick up your mat and walk.
366
:And so.
367
:He does that and again, this is Mark's
account here, but just a fascinating story
368
:here of Jesus stepping into the limelight
and beginning to reveal who he really
369
:is in the sight of everybody around.
370
:Yeah.
371
:Verse 10 says, but that you may
know that the son of man has
372
:authority on earth to forgive sins.
373
:It really is.
374
:It really is amazing.
375
:It's pretty direct.
376
:Mm-hmm.
377
:Yeah.
378
:There's no beating around the bush there,
which causes me again to stop and think.
379
:Why didn't more people get it then?
380
:when he's doing this, why
didn't more people get it?
381
:And I, the answer has to be
second Corinthians chapter four,
382
:that just as we say it today.
383
:So it was true there that the
God of the world was blind in the
384
:eyes of the lost That's right.
385
:To keep them from seeing this.
386
:Yeah, absolutely.
387
:Absolutely.
388
:And this is one of the reasons
why Jesus is gonna say to those in
389
:Capernaum in the surrounding regions,
woe to you it would be better.
390
:It's gonna be more tolerable for
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
391
:on Judgment Day than for you.
392
:Because they are eyewitnesses of so
much that Jesus is doing here, and they
393
:still remain stubborn in their unbelief.
394
:Yeah.
395
:Verse six says, now some of
the scribes were sitting there
396
:questioning in their hearts.
397
:Right.
398
:It's, oh yeah.
399
:It's a matter of, you could
see their hearts are corrupted.
400
:Yeah.
401
:Even there, right Then it.
402
:It puts words into their
hearts, but ultimately Right.
403
:It's their hearts that are doubting, it's
their hearts that don't wanna believe.
404
:It's their hearts that
are corrupted by sin.
405
:Yeah.
406
:And that's a great observation too,
because they're questioning in their
407
:hearts, they're not doing this out loud.
408
:Mm-hmm.
409
:And Jesus responds to them.
410
:Yes.
411
:Which is another flex of his deity.
412
:That he knows their thoughts, he
knows their hearts, and we see
413
:this multiple times in the gospel.
414
:He perceives the thoughts
of the, of people that are.
415
:Unhappy with him and then
addresses those thoughts.
416
:And so you wonder what they must have
been thinking even at that going, yeah.
417
:Yeah.
418
:Did somebody say something?
419
:'cause we didn't say anything.
420
:Yeah.
421
:Who told him?
422
:Yeah.
423
:Who brought that up?
424
:'cause it wasn't us.
425
:It wasn't us.
426
:Well, after this we get more of the
questions on fasting and we've seen this
427
:before again, in in Matthew's gospel.
428
:And yeah, like Pastor Rod said during
that commentary here that Jesus
429
:was saying, you, you love the old
way, you love the law and you're
430
:all about the law, but you need to
understand that something new is here.
431
:And what's new that's
here is better than that.
432
:And so don't try to keep imposing
the old way on what's new.
433
:And that's what he's talking about
here with this idea of sowing a piece
434
:of unhr cloth on an old garment or
putting new wine in old wine schemes.
435
:The wine will burst if you
do it the wrong way there.
436
:So.
437
:Yeah, and the emphasis, I
think, on both of those sort of
438
:illustrations is that the old thing
is actually also totally destroyed.
439
:It's not like it just kind of
like limps along or kind of works.
440
:It's just ruined.
441
:The, you know, put new wine in
an old wineskin and it bursts.
442
:Right.
443
:So I guess the question that's begged
is, do we have any obligation to
444
:the Old Testament law as Christians?
445
:We are new covenant believers.
446
:Does that mean we ignore
the Old Testament?
447
:Clearly not the Bible
Podcast that we do, right.
448
:Has plenty of right of Old
Testament in it, right?
449
:How do we interpret it right,
I think is the question.
450
:And how do we apply it?
451
:Well, one thing that we often talk about
is a lot of times what you'll see is there
452
:are some Old Testament laws that are.
453
:Repeated in the New Testament
and those we know for sure, Hey
454
:we're called to obey these things.
455
:I would say we're still under
obligation for the 10 Commandments.
456
:I don't think those have
been removed from us.
457
:I think that's a pursuit
of holiness and godliness.
458
:And you see some of those things
reiterated in the New Testament as well.
459
:But the relationship is different.
460
:Yeah.
461
:And and Paul even talks about in
Galatians that the law is now our tutor
462
:or was the tutor to point us to Christ.
463
:Yeah.
464
:And now Christ is here.
465
:And so in that sense, the law
is, has fulfilled its purpose.
466
:And Paul's gonna say in Romans
chapter seven, that the laws is good.
467
:Because without the law
we wouldn't know sin.
468
:And that's right.
469
:The law is there to again, make us aware
of that so that we're driven to Christ.
470
:That's right.
471
:And so that's yeah, not.
472
:Not completely taken outta
the scene fulfilled by Christ.
473
:Right.
474
:Is what the law has been done.
475
:That's right.
476
:But if we try to use Old Testament
law as our means of salvation
477
:today, it's not gonna work.
478
:Not gonna go Well, no.
479
:Not gonna go.
480
:Well, not gonna work.
481
:Yeah.
482
:Another one of the areas of the
law that Jesus was coming to
483
:reinterpret was the Sabbath there.
484
:And we see that at the
end of chapter two, when.
485
:He and his disciples are going
through the grain fields and
486
:they're picking heads of grain.
487
:This was forbidden by the oral law,
the oral tradition, because they
488
:argued that this was harvesting.
489
:Mm-hmm.
490
:And so to harvest on
the Sabbath was to work.
491
:So they had defined this act
right here as harvesting.
492
:And again, this is the.
493
:Oral tradition here.
494
:And so they confront Jesus.
495
:And Jesus responds and points to the
fact that David, when he was on the run
496
:for his life from Saul, went into the
house of God there and took the bread of
497
:the presence from a bihar of the priest.
498
:And Jesus appointed there is,
he's not condemned for that.
499
:He's commended.
500
:This is allowable.
501
:This is permissible because human life
is greater than the strict adherence
502
:to the law and obedience to the law.
503
:David needed the provision.
504
:God made provision for him.
505
:I think as well is he's just pointing
to, in, in revealing here, in this
506
:encounter the cold hearted hypocrisy
of the Pharisees, that they cared more.
507
:The disciples were hungry.
508
:They were meeting a need to sustain
life, and God had provided grain
509
:for them to be able to do that.
510
:But the Pharisees and their Phar oral
tradition had taken things so far with
511
:the law that they were, they would
rather say, no, you need to go hungry.
512
:Mm-hmm.
513
:Mm-hmm.
514
:And be weaker in order to observe
this man imposed law here of.
515
:Whether or not you can pick a head of
grain and they weren't loving people.
516
:And I think that's what Jesus is
conveying here is look, the Sabbath
517
:is for men, not men for the Sabbath.
518
:That's right.
519
:So you mentioned a couple seconds ago
that we are still, we still should
520
:follow the 10 Commandments, one of those
being a commandment about the Sabbath.
521
:Mm-hmm.
522
:Are you a sabot?
523
:I'm not a sabot, no.
524
:So that's a helpful distinction there.
525
:I think outside of that, I
think I would adhere to, to.
526
:Yeah.
527
:Every one of the other commandments.
528
:But again even the Sabbath is
different for us than it was then.
529
:Yeah.
530
:And when we look at the New Testament
church, we don't see a pattern of Sabbath
531
:observance from the New Testament church
we see gathering together for worship.
532
:Right.
533
:But they were gathering together
on the first day of the week,
534
:which is not the Sabbath.
535
:The Sabbath was SA Saturday.
536
:So there's not the application
of the Sabbath laws.
537
:Mm-hmm.
538
:There's not the, you can't do work.
539
:And I know a lot of that carried on in
Christian tradition and even still today
540
:you'll find seventh Day Adventists,
for example, who still gather on
541
:Saturdays and they will strictly not
do any work on the SA on Saturdays.
542
:There's other issues there with the Seven
Day Adv Adventist, but that's one example.
543
:But even others that are saying
the Lord's Day is the Lord's Day.
544
:No sports, no work not,
we're gonna worship and we're
545
:gonna rest and that's fine.
546
:There's nothing inherently wrong with
that, so long as you're not making that
547
:a law that you're posing across the
board on other people, because where
548
:scripture doesn't speak, we can't speak.
549
:That's right.
550
:And on this one, I think that, again, the
pattern that we see reestablished in the
551
:New Testament is not the same as the Old
Testament pattern of keeping the Sabbath.
552
:Yeah.
553
:I would go as far as to say as that
that every day right is the Lord's day.
554
:Every day is the Sabbath Pastor,
pastor Mark is gonna rest every day.
555
:No work.
556
:Worship and rest only, boom.
557
:Everybody's gotta quit their jobs.
558
:That sounds great.
559
:That sounds great.
560
:So, well good.
561
:Well, hey man, thanks for
jumping in last minute.
562
:You're welcome.
563
:I'm grateful.
564
:You're welcome.
565
:This was super helpful.
566
:So I said it before it's fun to do this.
567
:So I'm glad to be here and now you know,
you can do it at the drop of a hat.
568
:Yeah.
569
:You are right.
570
:This is a little.
571
:Easier.
572
:I don't say that in the sense
that it's less important.
573
:Yeah.
574
:But a little bit easier than last
time when I was on and we were
575
:discussing the temple and, future
Israel and where, wait till we get
576
:to Hebrews in Melek or Revelation
and we'll throw you in cold on that.
577
:Well, I'm on vacation then, so.
578
:Oh, are you?
579
:Yeah.
580
:Okay, well, we'll rearrange the bottle.
581
:Alright, let's pray.
582
:God, thanks for your word.
583
:Thanks for Pastor Mark jumping in
here and for just the pastors that
584
:you've given us at our church and the
wisdom that they bring to the table
585
:and their knowledge of the scriptures.
586
:We want to all be able to handle the
word of God accurately and well, and
587
:so help us to pursue it towards that
and we pray in Jesus name, amen.
