0:00.0	Welcome to the Jeff Kaven's show where we talk about the Bible, discipleship, and
0:05.3	evangelization putting it all together and living as activated disciples.
0:10.8	This is show 352, Thanksgiving, the seating arrangement at the last summer.
0:20.0	Well on behalf of everyone at Ascension Press and my family want to wish you a wonderful
0:29.2	bountiful Thanksgiving this year and yes we do have so much to be thankful for and so we
0:36.6	extend our love to you and our appreciation for all that you have done in contributing to Bible studies and teaching people's
0:46.1	scripture and being a part of the family at Ascension Press. So today on the
0:51.5	show we're going to talk just a little bit about Thanksgiving, but I want to do something a little bit different today, and I've wanted to do this for quite some time, and I tried to figure out how do I do this on an audio podcast and that is I wanted to show
1:09.0	you the seating arrangement at the last supper, the seating arrangement in the upper room where

1:36.2	It's the center of our faith. Everything revolves around the Eucharist in the Catholic

1:45.8	and while we celebrate around the country in America today Thanksgiving related to
1:50.3	the beginnings of our country, we as Christians also, we also celebrate the
1:56.6	beginnings of the new and everlasting covenant. You know in Antiquity when you made
2:01.1	a covenant you had to seal that covenant with a meal.
2:07.6	If you didn't seal it with a meal, it wasn't finished.
2:11.2	And so when Jesus ate that amazing meal with the disciples, that was sealing the deal in his sense. That was really sealing this is the new and everlasting covenant.
2:22.0	And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to say this is the new and everlasting covenant.
2:22.9	And so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna send you a picture.
