0:00.0	We live in a changing world that is full of questions, and the answers must come from the unchanging truth of God's world.
0:15.0	Today we look into Scripture with Scott Pauli to discover what the Bible says. Ask the Lord to speak to you
0:24.1	and to give you truth to share with others. When a person receives the Lord Jesus Christ
0:34.5	as their personal Savior, immediately they become a part of the family of God.
0:40.1	It is the greatest family on earth. And as soon as possible, that new believer should then
0:46.5	unite with a local body of believers, a local assembly of believers who can study the word of God

1:45.7	but my father, which is in heaven. He's referencing, of course, Peter's confession of faith,
1:50.3	that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God. And he said, that's come by revelation.
1:56.1	God's revealed the truth to you. You've responded to that truth. By the way, that's how everybody gets saved.
2:02.2	But then notice how he moves from salvation to the work of the church. He says in verse 18,
