| 0:00.0 | Okay, my friends, I'm Matt. This is the 10-minute Bible Hour podcast. And yesterday, we were |
| 0:12.0 | talking about Jesus going to his hometown. And instead of getting this wonderful homecoming |
| 0:16.6 | where everybody's excited to see him and catch up on what's been going on and all the |
| 0:19.8 | news they've heard about him, and said they were like, yeah, I will see. And then he |
| 0:24.4 | started teaching and they were like, yeah, I got admitted. It's pretty good. And they're |
| 0:27.4 | like, where did he get all this stuff? I don't know. I'm skeptical. And then pretty |
| 0:31.6 | soon they were just offended and out. And that's it. And the whole thing just spirals. |

| 1:11.3 | without honor. And that's Matthew 1357. And then 58 says, and he did not do many miracles |
| 1:18.3 | there because of their lack of faith. So he was a riddle for today. What does it mean |
| 1:23.3 | that he couldn't do miracles? Does that mean that his power was somehow sapped? It |
| 1:28.9 | raises the question, is this scenario with Jesus supernatural powers? It's like a Neil |
| 1:34.9 | Gaiman American God's kind of thing. And if you're not familiar with that book, here's |
| 1:38.8 | a quick rundown on the plot. You got these old gods from the old world that are super |
| 1:42.6 | ancient and other in America manifesting in the form of people holding down jobs, skulking |
| 1:48.7 | about doing whatever. And then you've got these new American gods like technology, the |
