0:04.3	Luke chapter 15 verse 10 just so I tell you there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
0:18.4	I love this chapter in the one sheep out of a hundred. The second is one coin out of ten. The third about one
0:35.7	son, although the second son clearly ties in the meaning of that story also. But in
