0:00.0	Welcome to a year in the Bible with daily grace. My name is Kristen and my name is Katie and we want to spend a few minutes a day with you walking through the New Testament one chapter at a time.
0:11.0	This year we will fix our gaze upon Christ so that we may know
0:14.8	him not only with our minds but with our hearts. Together we will learn that
0:19.1	who Jesus is changes everything.

1:39.6	sermon on the mount. Just like Jesus did in the sermon on the Mount, James calls believers to live
