| 0:00.0 | The knowledge of God is so high that the most brilliant of scholars hardly ever scratches |
| 0:06.8 | the surface of our understanding of who God is. |
| 0:18.1 | Who is God? |
| 0:20.2 | What are the unsearchable riches of Christ that Paul mentions in Ephesians |
| 0:24.7 | chapter 3? That's what R.C. Sprold will consider on this Sunday edition of renewing your mind. |

| 1:55.3 | been hidden to some degree is now openly proclaimed in its vital importance for the understanding of the makeup of the church. |
| 2:06.5 | We know that one of the most significant controversies of the early Christian church of the first century |
