He opened his talk with Jesus being criticized for chasing the money lenders away on Sunday. Jesus answered that Sunday was not made for humans but that humans were made for Sunday and went on to say that he was teaching n teachers now at the university and tried to condense some of the things he was teaching. He started out with telling us how Romans got side-tracked by not being able to pass four main stages during their lives. The four were Belonging; Becoming; Believing and Beloving.
