0:00.0	AI might be the most important innovation ever. It's storming every industry with literally billions being invested, so buckle up. The problem is that AI needs the right data and a lot of speed and processing power, so how do you compete without cost spiraling out of control? Time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI.
0:21.4	OCI is a single platform for your infrastructure, database and application development, with AI
0:26.4	embedded across it all. And Oracle's offering cloud helps you address your requirements for location,
0:31.4	access and data residency. OCI provides blazing fast speeds for AI's demanding workloads,

1:56.5	And it was, I'm not here for an extravaganza.

2:04.2	I'm here to worship God.

2:11.9	in my own transformation,
2:15.9	recognizing that worship is not this warm, fuzzy feeling that you get when you see a fantastic
2:25.6	musical rendition performed in a church, or you hear a magnificent oration, we are created to worship God.
2:39.5	And until we find our all in Him, we remain empty.
