| 0:00.0 | Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net. |
| 0:06.0 | Titus chapter 3 verse 14 and let our people learn to devote themselves to good works |
| 0:12.0 | so as to help cases of urgent need and not be unfruitful. |
| 0:16.7 | It's so interesting as I've been reading through Titus. |
| 0:21.2 | Again, I don't know how many times I've read it, but just to see over and over again this emphasis on good works. |
| 0:27.0 | We prayed from Titus 214 that we would be zealous for good works and then when you get into chapter three |
