0:00.0	Welcome to Scripture Central. We're thrilled to have you here.
0:04.0	Just a quick note, this video is a revamped edition of this video series from four years ago.
0:09.0	The content, however, is as relevant and insightful as ever.
0:13.0	We also invite you to explore our extensive collection of resources and programs designed to enhance your study of the Scriptures.
0:20.0	You can do this by visiting scripture central.org.
