| 0:00.0 | Matthew chapter 21 verses 12 through 17. Let's read. And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple. And he overturned the tables of the money changers in the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, it is written, my house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers. |
| 0:23.8 | And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple and he healed them. |
| 0:28.5 | But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did and the children crying out in the temple, |
| 0:34.8 | Hosanna to the son of David, they were indignant and they said to him, |
| 0:39.4 | do you hear what these are saying? And Jesus said to them, yes, have you never read out of the mouth |
| 0:46.6 | of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise? And leaving them, he went out of the city to |
| 0:53.7 | Bethany and lodged there. Amen. We're going to talk |
| 0:57.2 | about a lot of things today in this episode. We're going to talk about mainly distractions and how to |
| 1:01.4 | live undistracted, but we're going to also talk about what it means to be the church, how our lives |
| 1:06.9 | are meant to be as members of the church and even what church services need to look like. |
| 1:13.6 | Jesus is going to get into all of that. And it's quite fitting for us right now. As you're |
| 1:18.4 | hearing this, you're hearing this on Sunday, you know, well, you may not be listening to it on |
| 1:25.1 | Sunday, but we're posting this on December 22nd, a couple days before Christmas, but for us today, it's the 15th. And so we're weeks out from |
| 1:32.2 | Christmas. We're in the middle of an Advent series on our other podcast, the House Church |
| 1:36.7 | podcast. And at House Church, which we have on Sunday mornings, we live out what it means to be |
| 1:43.9 | an Acts 242 church, a simple church |
| 1:46.9 | focused on just those four things mentioned in Acts 242. But we just left church like hours ago. |
| 1:52.8 | And so, um, all this is like just really sharp and on our mind because like literally people |
| 1:58.8 | just left our garage and are going about their weeks of |
| 2:02.7 | going to the beach and hanging out or doing running their errands or whatever and so it's just so sweet |
| 2:08.1 | to see the same or similar group of people every week and to have a simple church service with them |
| 2:14.2 | and so we love house church make sure you're subscribed to that podcast. |
