0:00.0	In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month to 50,000 downloads.
0:06.1	What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more positive reviews, the more the
0:12.1	algorithm picks us up. And more people are confronted by the law and gospel of Jesus Christ.
0:18.1	Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a five-star
0:24.0	review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks.
0:31.5	Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
0:38.5	You're listening to Daily Truth. In the beginning was the word. The word was with God and the word was God. He was with God
0:49.0	in the beginning. And the word became flesh and dwelt among us. We have seen his glory. And so we know that Jesus is

2:22.4	something out of his reach that he could not grasp, but rather it was something he always eternally
2:28.5	possessed, that he was equal to the Father, and therefore, because he knew that he is equal in majesty,
