| 0:15.0 | New York. Sometimes our circumstances can overwhelm us, and we're tempted to question if God really loves us or if he's abandoned us. |
| 0:33.2 | On Truth for Life weekend, we're going to learn why we can find comfort in God's sovereign care, |
| 0:38.3 | not only in pleasant seasons, but also in times of trouble. |
| 0:42.3 | Alistair Begg is teaching from Isaiah chapter 40. |
| 0:45.4 | We're looking at verses 12 through 31. |
| 0:53.4 | So God, the Creator, without any outside help. God, the counselor, in no need of advice. |
| 1:01.6 | And then God created the universe and keeps the universe under his control. Look back up at |
| 1:09.9 | verse 21. And here the questions come. Do you not know? |
