  Acts
• 0:58
  27:12
• 1:00
  from
• 1:00
  the
• 1:00
  Message
• 1:01
  we
• 1:01
  met
• 1:01
  on
• 1:02
  Sunday
• 1:02
  to
• 1:02
  worship
• 1:02
  and
• 1:03
  celebrate
• 1:03
  the
• 1:03
  Master's
• 1:04
  Supper
• 1:05
  and
• 1:05
  Paul
• 1:06
  addressed
• 1:06
  the
• 1:06
  congregation.
• 1:08
  Our
• 1:08
  plan
• 1:08
  was
• 1:09
  to
• 1:09
  leave
• 1:09
  first
• 1:09
  in
• 1:09
  the
• 1:10
  morning,
• 1:10
  but
• 1:10
  Paul
• 1:11
  talked
• 1:11
  on
• 1:12
  way
• 1:13
  past
• 1:13
  midnight.
• 1:14
  We
• 1:14
  were
• 1:14
  meeting
• 1:15
  in
• 1:15
  a
• 1:15
  well
• 1:15
  lighted
• 1:16
  upper
• 1:16
  room.
• 1:16
  A
• 1:17
  young
• 1:17
  man
• 1:17
  named
• 1:18
  Euthysias
• 1:19
  was
• 1:19
  sitting
• 1:20
  in
• 1:20
  an
• 1:20
  open
• 1:20
  window.
• 1:21
  As
• 1:21
  Paul
• 1:22
  went
• 1:22
  on
• 1:22
  and
• 1:22
  on,
• 1:23
  Eutyus
• 1:24
  fell
• 1:24
  sound
• 1:24
  asleep
• 1:25
  and
• 1:25
  toppled
• 1:26
  out
• 1:26
  of
• 1:26
  the
• 1:27
  third
• 1:27
  story
• 1:27
  window.
• 1:28
  When
• 1:28
  they
• 1:28
  picked
• 1:29
  him
• 1:29
  up,
• 1:29
  he
• 1:29
  was
• 1:29
  dead.
• 1:31
  Paul
• 1:31
  went
• 1:31
  down,
• 1:31
  stretched
• 1:32
  himself
• 1:32
  on
• 1:33
  him
• 1:34
  and
• 1:34
  hugged
• 1:34
  him
• 1:35
  hard.
• 1:35
  No
• 1:36
  more
• 1:36
  crying,
• 1:37
  he
• 1:37
  said.
• 1:37
  There's
• 1:38
  life
• 1:38
  in
• 1:38
  him
• 1:38
  yet.
• 1:40
  Then
• 1:40
  Paul
• 1:40
  got
• 1:40
  up
• 1:41
  and
• 1:41
  served
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  Master
• 1:42
  Supper
• 1:42
  and
• 1:43
  went
• 1:43
  on
• 1:43
  telling
• 1:43
  stories
• 1:44
  of
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  faith
• 1:45
  until
• 1:45
  dawn.
• 1:46
  On
• 1:47
  that
• 1:47
  note,
• 1:47
  they
• 1:47
  left
• 1:48
  Paul
• 1:49
  going
• 1:50
  one
• 1:50
  way,
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  congregation
• 1:51
  another,
• 1:53
  leading
• 1:53
  the
• 1:53
  boy
• 1:54
  off
• 1:54
  alive
• 1:55
  and
• 1:56
  full
• 1:56
  of
• 1:56
  life
• 1:57
  themselves.
• 1:59
  Well,
• 1:59
  I
• 1:59
  gotta
• 1:59
  tell
• 2:00
  you
• 2:00
  this,
• 2:00
  that
• 2:01
  ends
• 2:01
  the
• 2:01
  reading
• 2:01
  of
• 2:01
  this
• 2:02
  passage.
• 2:02
  I
• 2:02
  just
• 2:03
  want
• 2:03
  to
• 2:03
  hit
• 2:03
  home
• 2:03
  to
• 2:04
  hits
• 2:04
  home
• 2:04
  to
• 2:04
  me
• 2:05
  because
• 2:06
  I'm
• 2:06
  one
• 2:06
  of
• 2:06
  those
• 2:07
  kids
• 2:07
  who
• 2:07
  grow
• 2:07
  up
• 2:08
  occasionally
• 2:08
  bored
• 2:09
  in
• 2:09
  church
• 2:10
  falling
• 2:11
  asleep.
• 2:12
  Have
• 2:12
  you
• 2:12
  been
• 2:12
  there
• 2:13
  or
• 2:13
  done
• 2:13
  that?
• 2:14
  I've
• 2:14
  been
• 2:14
  on
• 2:14
  both
• 2:14
  sides
• 2:14
  of
• 2:15
  it.
• 2:15
  I'm
• 2:15
  a
• 2:15
  preacher's
• 2:16
  kid,
• 2:16
  grew
• 2:16
  up
• 2:16
  in
• 2:16
  a
• 2:16
  pastor's
• 2:17
  home
• 2:17
  and
• 2:18
  sometimes
• 2:18
  I
• 2:18
  would
• 2:18
  just
• 2:19
  get
• 2:19
  bored.
• 2:20
  And
• 2:20
  then
• 2:20
  I
• 2:20
  spent
• 2:20
  43
• 2:21
  years
• 2:21
  as
• 2:21
  a
• 2:21
  pastor
• 2:22
  myself
• 2:22
  and
• 2:22
  I
• 2:22
  know
• 2:22
  my
• 2:23
  own
• 2:23
  kids
• 2:24
  and
• 2:24
  other
• 2:24
  kids
• 2:24
  I
• 2:25
  knew
• 2:25
  would
• 2:25
  get
• 2:25
  bored
• 2:25
  sometimes
• 2:26
  fall
• 2:26
  asleep
• 2:26
  thinking
• 2:27
  I
• 2:27
  was
• 2:27
  preaching
• 2:28
  too
• 2:28
  long.
• 2:29
  Well,
• 2:30
  it
• 2:30
  can't
• 2:30
  happen,
• 2:31
  can't
• 2:31
  it?
• 2:31
  It's
• 2:31
  kind
• 2:32
  of
• 2:32
  funny
• 2:32
  I
• 2:32
  think
• 2:32
  about
• 2:33
  when
• 2:33
  I
• 2:34
  read
• 2:34
  this
• 2:34
  passage.
• 2:34
  I
• 2:34
  can't
• 2:35
  help
• 2:35
  but
• 2:35
  get
• 2:35
  a
• 2:35
  chuckle
• 2:35
  about
• 2:36
  it
• 2:36
  because
• 2:36
  it
• 2:37
  just
• 2:37
  reminds
• 2:37
  me
• 2:37
  of
• 2:38
  how
• 2:38
  this
• 2:38
  goes
• 2:39
  on.
• 2:39
  But
• 2:39
  it
• 2:39
  talks
• 2:40
  here
• 2:40
  about
• 2:40
  how
• 2:40
  what
• 2:40
  Paul
• 2:41
  did,
• 2:42
  even
• 2:42
  though
• 2:42
  Paul
• 2:43
  was
• 2:43
  obviously
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  guy
• 2:44
  who
• 2:44
  Was
• 2:44
  long
• 2:44
  winded.
• 2:45
  Here
• 2:45
  Paul
• 2:46
  stretched
• 2:46
  himself
• 2:46
  out
• 2:47
  over
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  young
• 2:47
  boy
• 2:48
  and
• 2:49
  good
• 2:49
  things
• 2:50
  happened.
• 2:52
  Hmm.
• 2:53
  Let's
• 2:53
  talk
• 2:54
  today
• 2:55
  about
• 2:55
  falling
• 2:56
  asleep
• 2:56
  in
• 2:56
  church
• 2:57
  and
• 2:58
  being
• 2:58
  awake
• 2:58
  to
• 2:59
  Christ.
• 3:02
  Let's
• 3:02
  talk
• 3:02
  about
• 3:02
  some
• 3:05
  points
• 3:05
  to
• 3:05
  ponder.
• 3:07
  There's
• 3:07
  a
• 3:07
  lot
• 3:07
  to
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  chew
• 3:08
  on
• 3:08
  here.
• 3:09
  Two
• 3:09
  things
• 3:10
  I
• 3:10
  want
• 3:10
  us
• 3:10
  to
• 3:10
  deal
• 3:10
  with.
• 3:12
  The
• 3:12
  first
• 3:12
  point
• 3:12
  to
• 3:12
  ponder
• 3:13
  is
• 3:13
  this.
• 3:15
  The
• 3:16
  church
• 3:17
  should
• 3:17
  be
• 3:17
  a
• 3:18
  place
• 3:18
  where
• 3:18
  people
• 3:18
  who
• 3:19
  fall
• 3:20
  get
• 3:21
  picked
• 3:21
  up,
• 3:22
  not
• 3:23
  written
• 3:23
  off.
• 3:24
  U
• 3:26
  falls.
• 3:27
  He
• 3:27
  literally
• 3:28
  falls
• 3:29
  out
• 3:29
  of
• 3:29
  the
• 3:29
  community
• 3:30
  gathering.
• 3:31
  From
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  third
• 3:32
  story
• 3:32
  window
• 3:32
  no
• 3:33
  less.
• 3:34
  But
• 3:34
  he
• 3:34
  falls
• 3:34
  out
• 3:34
  of
• 3:34
  the
• 3:35
  gathering.
• 3:36
  It's
• 3:36
  kind
• 3:36
  of
• 3:37
  a
• 3:37
  metaphor
• 3:37
  for
• 3:37
  people
• 3:38
  who
• 3:38
  do
• 3:38
  fall
• 3:38
  out
• 3:39
  of
• 3:39
  favor,
• 3:40
  so
• 3:40
  to
• 3:40
  speak,
• 3:40
  in
• 3:40
  the
• 3:41
  church.
• 3:42
  But
• 3:43
  it
• 3:43
  doesn't
• 3:43
  have
• 3:43
  to
• 3:43
  be
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  end
• 3:44
  of
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  story.
• 3:45
  Notice
• 3:46
  what
• 3:46
  Paul
• 3:46
  does.
• 3:47
  He
• 3:48
  doesn't
• 3:48
  stay
• 3:48
  up
• 3:48
  in
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  well
• 3:49
  lit
• 3:49
  room
• 3:50
  and
• 3:50
  just
• 3:50
  go
• 3:51
  on
• 3:51
  and
• 3:51
  on.
• 3:51
  He
• 3:51
  keep
• 3:52
  and
• 3:52
  keep
• 3:52
  preaching.
• 3:53
  He
• 3:53
  doesn't
• 3:53
  say,
• 3:53
  well,
• 3:54
  he
• 3:55
  should
• 3:55
  have
• 3:55
  been
• 3:55
  paying
• 3:55
  closer
• 3:56
  attention.
• 3:56
  And
• 3:57
  if
• 3:57
  he
• 3:57
  goes
• 3:57
  down,
• 3:57
  he
• 3:58
  leaves
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  room,
• 3:58
  he's
• 3:59
  out
• 3:59
  of
• 3:59
  here.
• 4:00
  No,
• 4:00
  he
• 4:00
  goes
• 4:01
  out
• 4:01
  to
• 4:01
  where
• 4:01
  Uthys
• 4:02
  is
• 4:02
  at,
• 4:03
  broken
• 4:04
  on
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  ground,
• 4:04
  left
• 4:04
  for
• 4:05
  dead,
• 4:05
  basically
• 4:05
  outside
• 4:06
  the
• 4:06
  building.
• 4:06
  And
• 4:07
  he
• 4:07
  stretches
• 4:07
  his
• 4:08
  own
• 4:08
  body
• 4:09
  across
• 4:09
  the
• 4:10
  young
• 4:10
  man
• 4:10
  and
• 4:11
  holds
• 4:11
  him
• 4:11
  tightly.
• 4:13
  Can
• 4:13
  you
• 4:13
  imagine
• 4:14
  that
• 4:14
  scene?
• 4:16
  In
• 4:16
  a
• 4:16
  way
• 4:16
  it's
• 4:17
  kind
• 4:17
  of
• 4:17
  like
• 4:17
  mouth
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  mouth
• 4:18
  resuscitation
• 4:19
  or
• 4:20
  total
• 4:21
  body
• 4:22
  absorption,
• 4:23
  total
• 4:24
  investment,
• 4:24
  if
• 4:25
  you
• 4:25
  will,
• 4:26
  body
• 4:26
  to
• 4:26
  body.
• 4:28
  That
• 4:28
  image
• 4:29
  of
• 4:30
  body
• 4:30
  to
• 4:30
  body,
• 4:31
  it
• 4:31
  kind
• 4:31
  of
• 4:32
  wrecks
• 4:32
  me
• 4:32
  a
• 4:32
  little
• 4:32
  bit
• 4:32
  because
• 4:33
  I
• 4:33
  think
• 4:33
  there's
• 4:33
  a
• 4:33
  lot
• 4:33
  of
• 4:33
  people
• 4:34
  who've
• 4:34
  fallen
• 4:34
  out
• 4:36
  of
• 4:36
  our
• 4:36
  churches
• 4:37
  and
• 4:37
  we
• 4:37
  just
• 4:37
  kind
• 4:38
  of
• 4:38
  let
• 4:38
  them
• 4:38
  go.
• 4:39
  Maybe
• 4:39
  they've
• 4:40
  fallen
• 4:40
  asleep
• 4:40
  to
• 4:40
  the
• 4:40
  faith
• 4:41
  or
• 4:42
  somehow
• 4:42
  or
• 4:42
  another
• 4:43
  somebody
• 4:43
  stops
• 4:43
  speaking
• 4:44
  to
• 4:44
  somebody
• 4:45
  in
• 4:45
  their
• 4:46
  real
• 4:46
  lives
• 4:46
  and
• 4:47
  maybe
• 4:47
  they
• 4:47
  are
• 4:47
  pushed
• 4:48
  out
• 4:48
  by
• 4:48
  some
• 4:49
  bad
• 4:49
  church
• 4:49
  experience
• 4:50
  or
• 4:50
  rigid
• 4:51
  theology
• 4:51
  and
• 4:51
  there
• 4:52
  is
• 4:52
  no
• 4:52
  room
• 4:52
  for
• 4:53
  questions
• 4:53
  and
• 4:54
  no
• 4:54
  room
• 4:54
  for
• 4:54
  doubt
• 4:55
  and
• 4:55
  no
• 4:55
  room
• 4:56
  for
• 4:56
  their
• 4:56
  identity
• 4:59
  to
• 4:59
  be
• 5:00
  shared.
• 5:02
  And
• 5:02
  too
• 5:02
  often
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  church
• 5:03
  just
• 5:03
  keeps
• 5:04
  on
• 5:04
  going.
• 5:04
  Act
• 5:05
  like
• 5:05
  nothing
• 5:06
  happened,
• 5:06
  as
• 5:06
  if
• 5:07
  nothing
• 5:07
  happened.
• 5:08
  A
• 5:08
  progressive
• 5:09
  Jesus
• 5:10
  shaped
• 5:10
  faith
• 5:10
  says
• 5:11
  we
• 5:11
  stop
• 5:12
  the
• 5:12
  program
• 5:13
  and
• 5:14
  go
• 5:14
  down
• 5:14
  to
• 5:14
  the
• 5:15
  wounded
• 5:15
  party,
• 5:15
  the
• 5:16
  one
• 5:16
  who's
• 5:16
  hurt,
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  one
• 5:17
  who's
• 5:17
  fallen
• 5:17
  out
• 5:18
  and
• 5:18
  go
• 5:19
  downstairs,
• 5:19
  go
• 5:20
  out
• 5:20
  in
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  street,
• 5:21
  go
• 5:21
  and
• 5:21
  meet
• 5:21
  the
• 5:22
  people
• 5:22
  on
• 5:22
  the
• 5:22
  ground
• 5:23
  where
• 5:23
  they
• 5:23
  actually
• 5:23
  are,
• 5:24
  where
• 5:24
  the
• 5:24
  brokenness
• 5:25
  is
• 5:25
  actually
• 5:25
  happening.
• 5:27
  Go
• 5:27
  to
• 5:27
  them
• 5:27
  and
• 5:28
  stretch
• 5:28
  ourselves
• 5:28
  out
• 5:29
  to
• 5:29
  them,
• 5:29
  give
• 5:30
  ourselves
• 5:30
  up
• 5:31
  for
• 5:31
  them.
• 5:32
  In
• 5:33
  my
• 5:33
  cancer
• 5:33
  podcast,
• 5:34
  which
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  have,
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  talk
• 5:35
  that
• 5:35
  people
• 5:35
  are
• 5:35
  sometimes
• 5:35
  barely
• 5:36
  hanging
• 5:36
  in
• 5:36
  there
• 5:37
  and
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  last
• 5:38
  thing
• 5:38
  they
• 5:39
  need
• 5:39
  is
• 5:39
  a
• 5:39
  lecture
• 5:39
  or
• 5:40
  something
• 5:40
  like
• 5:40
  that.
• 5:41
  They
• 5:42
  need
• 5:42
  somebody's
• 5:42
  willing
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  come
• 5:43
  out
• 5:43
  and
• 5:43
  stretch
• 5:43
  out
• 5:43
  for
• 5:43
  them.
• 5:44
  Will
• 5:44
  they
• 5:45
  come
• 5:45
  down
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  where
• 5:45
  they
• 5:45
  are
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  just
• 5:46
  hold
• 5:46
  on?
• 5:48
  Second
• 5:49
  point
• 5:49
  to
• 5:49
  ponder
• 5:51
  the
• 5:51
  meal
• 5:53
  matters
• 5:53
  more
• 5:53
  than
• 5:53
  the
• 5:54
  sermon.
• 5:54
  Did
• 5:54
  you
• 5:54
  get
• 5:54
  that?
• 5:55
  The
• 5:56
  communal
• 5:56
  meal,
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  community
• 5:58
  belt
• 5:58
  that
• 5:58
  developed
• 5:59
  around
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  meal
• 5:59
  matters
• 6:00
  more
• 6:00
  than
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  sermon.
• 6:01
  I
• 6:01
  really
• 6:01
  find
• 6:01
  that
• 6:02
  fascinating
• 6:03
  here
• 6:04
  because
• 6:05
  in
• 6:05
  this
• 6:05
  whole
• 6:05
  dramatic
• 6:06
  event,
• 6:06
  what
• 6:07
  does
• 6:07
  Paul
• 6:07
  do?
• 6:07
  He
• 6:07
  goes
• 6:08
  back
• 6:08
  upstairs
• 6:09
  and
• 6:09
  he
• 6:09
  serves
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  master
• 6:11
  supper,
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  table,
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  bread
• 6:13
  and
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  cup,
• 6:14
  the
• 6:14
  shared
• 6:14
  meal.
• 6:15
  And
• 6:15
  that's
• 6:15
  the
• 6:15
  center
• 6:15
  of
• 6:16
  gravity
• 6:16
  in
• 6:16
  the
• 6:16
  story.
• 6:18
  Paul
• 6:18
  talks
• 6:18
  for
• 6:18
  hours
• 6:18
  and
• 6:19
  hours.
• 6:19
  He
• 6:19
  could.
• 6:19
  He's
• 6:20
  a
• 6:20
  long
• 6:20
  winded
• 6:20
  guy.
• 6:21
  And
• 6:22
  yes,
• 6:22
  but
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  thing
• 6:23
  that
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  writer
• 6:24
  of
• 6:24
  Luke
• 6:25
  makes
• 6:25
  sure
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  name
• 6:26
  twice,
• 6:27
  is
• 6:27
  that
• 6:28
  they
• 6:28
  broke
• 6:28
  bread,
• 6:28
  they
• 6:29
  had
• 6:29
  a
• 6:29
  meal
• 6:29
  together.
• 6:31
  My
• 6:31
  wife
• 6:31
  and
• 6:31
  I
• 6:31
  have
• 6:32
  been
• 6:32
  married
• 6:32
  for
• 6:32
  34
• 6:32
  years
• 6:33
  and
• 6:33
  I
• 6:33
  could
• 6:33
  tell
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  there's
• 6:34
  the
• 6:34
  moments
• 6:35
  that
• 6:35
  I
• 6:35
  hold
• 6:35
  our
• 6:35
  family
• 6:36
  together
• 6:37
  are
• 6:37
  not
• 6:37
  the
• 6:38
  lectures
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  did
• 6:38
  or
• 6:39
  someone
• 6:39
  else
• 6:39
  did
• 6:40
  that
• 6:40
  held
• 6:40
  our
• 6:41
  family
• 6:41
  together.
• 6:41
  They
• 6:41
  were.
• 6:43
  It
• 6:43
  was
• 6:43
  meals,
• 6:44
  it
• 6:44
  was
• 6:44
  family
• 6:45
  time,
• 6:45
  it
• 6:45
  was
• 6:45
  trips
• 6:46
  together,
• 6:47
  it
• 6:47
  was
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  table,
• 6:48
  it
• 6:48
  was
• 6:48
  showing
• 6:48
  up,
• 6:48
  it
• 6:49
  was
• 6:49
  passing
• 6:49
  the
• 6:49
  bread,
• 6:50
  it
• 6:50
  was
• 6:50
  being
• 6:50
  present
• 6:51
  with
• 6:51
  each
• 6:51
  other.
• 6:52
  And
• 6:53
  I
• 6:53
  think
• 6:53
  every
• 6:53
  church
• 6:53
  understands
• 6:55
  something
• 6:55
  we
• 6:56
  have
• 6:56
  sometimes
• 6:56
  forgotten.
• 6:57
  Community
• 6:57
  isn't
• 6:57
  built
• 6:58
  by
• 6:58
  one
• 6:58
  person
• 6:59
  talking
• 6:59
  and
• 6:59
  everybody
• 7:00
  else
• 7:00
  listening.
• 7:01
  It's
• 7:01
  built
• 7:02
  around
• 7:02
  a
• 7:02
  table
• 7:03
  where
• 7:03
  everyone
• 7:04
  belongs
• 7:04
  and
• 7:04
  everyone
• 7:04
  is
• 7:05
  fed.
• 7:06
  So
• 7:07
  when
• 7:07
  we
• 7:07
  center
• 7:07
  our
• 7:07
  faith
• 7:08
  around
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  sermon
• 7:09
  on
• 7:09
  having
• 7:09
  the
• 7:10
  right
• 7:10
  answers,
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  right
• 7:11
  doctrine,
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  perfect
• 7:12
  theology,
• 7:13
  people
• 7:13
  could
• 7:14
  fall
• 7:14
  asleep
• 7:14
  and
• 7:14
  fall
• 7:14
  out
• 7:15
  the
• 7:15
  window.
• 7:17
  But
• 7:17
  when
• 7:17
  we
• 7:17
  center
• 7:18
  on
• 7:18
  faith
• 7:18
  around
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  table,
• 7:19
  on
• 7:19
  showing
• 7:20
  up
• 7:20
  and
• 7:20
  sharing
• 7:20
  faith,
• 7:21
  people
• 7:21
  walk
• 7:22
  away
• 7:22
  full
• 7:22
  of
• 7:23
  life.
• 7:25
  Just
• 7:25
  like
• 7:25
  this
• 7:25
  story,
• 7:27
  one
• 7:27
  of
• 7:27
  my
• 7:27
  favorite
• 7:27
  stories
• 7:28
  from
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  Bible.
• 7:29
  Here's
• 7:29
  your
• 7:30
  action
• 7:30
  step
• 7:30
  for
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  week.
• 7:31
  Think
• 7:31
  of
• 7:32
  somebody
• 7:32
  who's
• 7:32
  in
• 7:32
  your
• 7:32
  life
• 7:33
  or
• 7:33
  your
• 7:33
  church
• 7:33
  or
• 7:34
  your
• 7:34
  community,
• 7:34
  who's
• 7:34
  fallen
• 7:35
  out,
• 7:35
  who's
• 7:36
  drifted
• 7:36
  away
• 7:36
  from
• 7:36
  your
• 7:36
  community,
• 7:37
  from
• 7:37
  your
• 7:37
  life,
• 7:38
  maybe
• 7:38
  your
• 7:38
  family.
• 7:40
  Don't
• 7:40
  lecture,
• 7:41
  don't
• 7:41
  do
• 7:41
  a
• 7:41
  sermon,
• 7:42
  don't
• 7:43
  argue.
• 7:44
  Reach
• 7:45
  out
• 7:45
  with
• 7:45
  a
• 7:45
  simple
• 7:47
  hug,
• 7:48
  a
• 7:49
  tight
• 7:49
  hook,
• 7:49
  or
• 7:50
  some
• 7:50
  way
• 7:50
  that
• 7:50
  you
• 7:50
  can
• 7:50
  say,
• 7:50
  I'm
• 7:51
  thinking
• 7:51
  of
• 7:51
  you.
• 7:52
  Want
• 7:52
  to
• 7:52
  get
• 7:52
  a
• 7:52
  cup
• 7:52
  of
• 7:53
  coffee?
• 7:53
  Want
• 7:53
  to
• 7:53
  talk?
• 7:54
  Go
• 7:55
  where
• 7:55
  they
• 7:55
  are.
• 7:57
  That's
• 7:57
  the
• 7:57
  whole
• 7:58
  thing.
• 7:59
  I
• 7:59
  want
• 8:00
  to
• 8:00
  come
• 8:00
  back
• 8:00
  and
• 8:00
  have
• 8:00
  a

  prayer
• 8:00
  here
• 8:01
  in
• 8:01
  just

  a
• 8:01
  second.
• 8:01
  They

  want
• 8:02
  you
• 8:02
  to
• 8:02
  know
• 8:02
  that

  pray.
• 8:17
  God.
• 8:18
  We
• 8:18
  confess
• 8:18
  that
• 8:18
  sometimes
• 8:19
  we've
• 8:19
  been
• 8:19
  so
• 8:19
  busy
• 8:19
  keeping
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  program
• 8:20
  going
• 8:21
  that
• 8:21
  we
• 8:21
  miss
• 8:21
  the
• 8:21
  people
• 8:22
  falling
• 8:22
  out
• 8:22
  of
• 8:22
  the
• 8:23
  window.
• 8:23
  We
• 8:24
  prioritize
• 8:25
  being
• 8:25
  right
• 8:25
  over
• 8:26
  being
• 8:26
  present.
• 8:27
  We've
• 8:28
  let
• 8:28
  people
• 8:28
  hit
• 8:28
  the
• 8:28
  ground
• 8:29
  while
• 8:29
  staying
• 8:29
  comfortable
• 8:30
  in
• 8:30
  our
• 8:30
  well.
• 8:30
  Lit
• 8:31
  rooms.
• 8:32
  Teach
• 8:32
  us
• 8:32
  to
• 8:32
  go
• 8:33
  downstairs.
• 8:33
  Teach
• 8:33
  us
• 8:34
  to
• 8:34
  stretch
• 8:34
  ourselves
• 8:34
  out
• 8:35
  towards
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  ones
• 8:35
  who've
• 8:36
  fallen,
• 8:36
  not
• 8:37
  with
• 8:37
  lectures,
• 8:37
  but
• 8:37
  with
• 8:38
  arms
• 8:38
  wide
• 8:38
  open.
• 8:39
  Remind
• 8:40
  us
• 8:40
  that
• 8:40
  your
• 8:40
  table
• 8:41
  is
• 8:41
  always
• 8:41
  the
• 8:41
  center,
• 8:42
  and
• 8:42
  that
• 8:43
  there's
• 8:43
  room
• 8:43
  at
• 8:43
  it
• 8:43
  for
• 8:44
  the
• 8:44
  sleepy,
• 8:45
  the
• 8:46
  doubtful,
• 8:47
  the
• 8:47
  ones
• 8:47
  who
• 8:47
  couldn't
• 8:47
  stay
• 8:48
  awake
• 8:48
  for

  one

  something
