| 0:00.0 | When wars and rumors of war fill our minds, when rates, markets, inflation, and prices make us insecure, |
| 0:06.8 | when candidates, debates, and politics fill us with worries, remember that Christ Jesus is our Lord. |
| 0:14.5 | When impossible exams, endless papers, sick children, uncertain ministry prospects, empty accounts keep us up at night. Remember that |
| 0:25.7 | Christ Jesus is our Lord. Christ Jesus is our Lord. Christ Jesus is our Lord, and that truth |
| 0:37.3 | provides solid footing as we each navigate our pilgrimages this side of heaven. |
| 0:42.4 | And it's this truth that you'll be reminded of for the rest of the week on renewing your mind as you hear messages from a brand new series exploring the book of Colossians. |

| 1:58.7 | My kids who are in teenagers often think of me as an unhip dad, |
| 2:02.7 | primarily because I can't text the way they do, often without punctuations, often with acronyms, |
