0:00.0	So Luke 15 is where we're going to be. We're in the fourth week of a series of messages that we've
0:06.3	called make yourself at home. And we're living in and base camping out of one of the most famous
0:13.6	stories in the Bible, the parable of the prodigal son. And this weekend I'm going to preach to you a
0:19.1	message that I'm calling the house always wins. The house always wins. Someone said once that gambling
0:30.0	is a tax for people who are bad at math. Gambling is a tax for people who are just not good at math
0:39.2	because listening to me, the odds as you gamble are not, say it with me, not in your favor.
0:48.1	It's not impossible to win, of course, or no one would do it. It's just their stacked against you.
0:55.7	The who always wins. The who always wins. Yeah, why do they call it that? Because casino means
1:01.8	little house. Casa is Italian for house. And when gambling was illegal in different cities or
1:10.1	villages or places, or still to this day, you couldn't go to a big gambling place. You'd have to
1:15.5	go to a gambling den, they called it. So they nicknamed them in Italy, Casino, which means little

1:29.6	the hope of making it big, especially if you felt lucky. If you had your rabbit's foot key chain
1:34.5	with you, it was the right day of the zodiac for you or whatever else. I'm really feeling good
1:40.0	about my chances. Well, you should just know that it's engineered that some people will win,
1:46.0	that will keep you playing. But when you do, if you do win, you're then far more lucky to be
1:53.0	foolish with your winnings. Because your mentality is, I'm, this is, this is, I'm extra money. And so
1:58.3	you'll keep going. And everyone's told me, here's the stories that makes me think, dang, I need to,
2:02.7	I need to get in on this, right? Like the guy this week, it was, it was all over the news this week,
2:06.3	this dude who won the lottery and Virginia, did you hear about this story? His name was Dennis Fears.
2:11.7	And he won the lottery 24 times because he bought 24 dollar tickets to the lottery and he played
2:19.9	his favorite number every single time. His favorite number was eight. So he bought 24 dollar tickets
