0:00.0	Hey everybody I'm Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast. We're working our way
0:10.4	through the book of Matthew one little bit at a time.
0:12.9	Last week we were in Matthew chapter 9 verses 9 through 13 looking at the story about the time
0:18.4	that Jesus went and invited Matthew, the tax collector to follow him.
0:21.7	He just said follow me and the Matthew was like,
0:23.2	okay, I'll do that. And then Matthew threw him a big party, but all of Matthew's friends were kind of societal

1:45.4	room was that the people who represented orthodoxy there didn't want this person to be
