| 0:00.0 | Thank you. Welcome to Truth for Life where today we begin a brand new series titled |
| 0:29.8 | Come to Me. |
| 0:31.5 | In this short study, Alistair Begg unpacks the greatest invitation any of us could ever |
| 0:37.3 | receive, one that comes from |
| 0:39.0 | the Lord Jesus himself. We'll find out why his invitation is unlike any other, as we focus on |
| 0:45.9 | Matthew chapter 11, beginning at verse 28. Well, we are all familiar with the privilege of both extending and receiving invitations. |
