| 0:00.0 | Well, good morning and happy Lent to all of you as we begin this Lenton season. |
| 0:05.0 | It's a great opportunity to do this talk today that many of you have been writing for a long, long time, |
| 0:12.0 | and we finally get a chance to do this, and what a great time of year to see what the apostles gave |
| 0:19.0 | and why they gave up what they did as our first men of the faith |
| 0:25.2 | after the passing of Jesus Christ. And so today we're excited to have you with us for this talk on |
| 0:32.4 | who were the 12 apostles. What happened to them? What did they do after Jesus died? And how did they die? |
| 0:41.9 | And so what a fascinating talk. I had a lot of fun putting this together. I went back to some of my |
| 0:47.8 | old homilies. I went back, Father, or Chris Sparks, our theologian helped out on some of the |
| 0:52.7 | research, and this is just a great, |
| 0:54.8 | a great topic to learn and be inspired. So let us begin in the name of the Father, |
| 1:00.5 | and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Amen, Heavenly Father, we ask through the intercession |

| 1:28.9 | that you maybe have heard me talk about some of the apostles before, but then the rest of it is all |
| 1:33.8 | new stuff. We're going to go through each of the 12 apostles. I'm going to walk you through, |
| 1:38.1 | and I just realized something very interesting. Our statues are not appeared to be bolted down. They seem to be placed on these shelves. |
| 1:46.9 | And the order that the Bible gives the apostles is the same in every book. There's a certain |
| 1:52.6 | order of apostles. I think I'm going to readjust the order here. I'm going to talk to Father |
| 1:57.5 | Matthew because they are in a different order. But we're going to walk through you with you each of the 12 apostles and who they are. |
| 2:06.5 | Okay? |
| 2:07.0 | Now, the Greek word, apostolos, is, we all think of it as meaning one who is sent out, and this is true. |
