| 0:00.0 | Thank you. Genuine worship involves more than simply attending church, singing hymns, and reading the Bible. |
| 0:33.4 | Today on Truth for Life will explore what's needed for us to worship God biblically. |
| 0:38.9 | Alistair Begg is teaching from 1st Thessalonians chapter 5. |
| 0:42.5 | We're studying verses 16 through 18. |
| 0:51.4 | Nobody can worship God properly unless they're theological. |

| 1:44.8 | back. You made a sales call and you could tell from the way the guy said, I'll be getting back |
| 1:50.0 | in touch with you that you'd never hear from him again in your life, that you were going to have |
| 1:54.8 | to continue to go and knock on more doors because you still had not made your quota. You perhaps |
| 2:00.6 | were concerned because the |
| 2:01.9 | circumstances you'd left at home, or the preoccupations with just the daily grind and maternal |
