| 0:04.0 | For more content from my dad, Pastor Mark, senior pastor here at the Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, |
| 0:09.2 | visit real faith.com, where you'll find study guides to go along with each sermon series as he |
| 0:14.0 | preaches verse by verse through books of the Bible, daily devotions, free |
| 0:17.7 | e-books and more. Now grab your Bibles and get ready for today's sermon. |
| 0:27.0 | Alrighty we are in a book of the Bible called Genesis chapter 12. If you've got a Bible, go there and we're spending some time looking at a marriage, a family, a case study in two of the most famous people in the history of the world, |
