| 0:00.0 | The Well, Welcome to Truth for Life where today we're beginning a new study in the book of |
| 0:28.0 | Ephesians. We're going to be looking at spiritual gifts. What are they who |
| 0:32.4 | gives them, who receives them, are some more significant than |
| 0:35.8 | others, and what is the ultimate purpose of spiritual gifts? |
| 0:41.0 | Alistairbegg answers those questions as he teaches from Ephesians chapter 4. |
