0:00.0 | Welcome to Studies with Stearman. |
0:05.2 | Join us as we look deeper into the Bible. |
0:09.2 | Strengthen your faith with us, even as we see the day approaching. |
0:14.8 | And now, here's Gary. |
0:17.7 | Well, last week we looked at John 14, where the Lord began to break it to his disciples, |
0:24.6 | that he wouldn't be with him very long. |
