| 0:00.0 | Before we can speak of gospel depths, we have to have some idea, in fact a fairly good idea, of what the gospel is. |
| 0:17.0 | And a magnificent light shines on what the gospel is if we know why he created the universe. And before we can |
| 0:30.0 | know why he created the universe, we have to know who he is. So let's begin at the |
| 0:40.0 | beginning. In the beginning. |
| 0:43.0 | God created the heavens and the earth. |
| 0:48.0 | Or as John says, in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. |
| 0:58.0 | All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made |
| 1:08.3 | The word was made flesh and dwelt among us |
| 1:20.1 | We beheld his glory, glory as of the only son from the father, full of grace and truth. |
| 1:26.1 | Which means that the son of God is the word |

| 3:20.6 | perfect love and delight the spirit of the father and of the son a third eternal uncreated person. |
| 3:30.0 | John 1426, I will pray the father and he will give you another counselor to be with you forever even the spirit of truth. The spirit is |
| 3:47.8 | another counselor, a counselor, a teacher in his own right, another one besides the son, a person |
