| 0:42.5 | Alistair Begg has some reassuring words for you today. |
| 0:51.7 | Romans chapter 8 and verse 31. What then shall we say in response to this, if God is for us, who can be against us? |
| 1:06.4 | He who did not spare his own son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also along with him |
| 1:13.4 | graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? |
| 1:20.8 | It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died more than that who was raised to life, is at |
| 1:31.3 | the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
| 1:39.3 | Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or naked or danger, or sword. As it is written, |

| 2:56.9 | Hear us, O God, as we come to you in your son's name and for His sake. Amen. |
| 3:05.0 | I don't watch very much television at all because I don't like most of it and I don't like commercials. |
| 3:15.5 | And also because many of the programs have such a lack of resolution to them that I don't know where I am. I am a simple soul. |
| 3:29.5 | And I confess this morning to a certain nostalgia when I think, for example, of Perry Mason. |
