| 0:13.0 | Do you do you do you do you do |
| 0:15.0 | do you do There are people who think that in order to do God's work you have to be specially trained or somehow particularly gifted and |
| 0:33.9 | while training and talent are helpful as we'll hear today on truth for life |
| 0:38.7 | there is one essential requirement for doing God's work. |
| 0:43.0 | Alistairbag is teaching from Zakaria chapter 4. |
| 0:47.0 | Our focus today is in verse 6. Judah was sparsely populated and a much smaller geographical space and |
