| 0:02.0 | . As you look around, do you sense people are increasingly dismissing God and His Word? |
| 0:33.0 | Does it ever make you wonder if Christianity will somehow fizzle out? |
| 0:37.1 | Today on Truth for Life, we'll find out why that's not possible. |
| 0:40.4 | Alistair Begg takes us to John's Gospel for a brief overview of the signs and miracles |
| 0:45.6 | Jesus performed and how they frustrated Jewish leaders. |
| 1:12.5 | Chapter 9 is fantastic, isn't it? You remember, the man born blind. What a predicament this is for them, because the man can see, and they can see that the man can see. But they don't want to believe why it is that the man can see. The person says, you know, in fact, thinking of Wesley, Wesley was a vicar who had a problem with booze and a horrible |
