| 0:40.8 | always email us at Questions at Core Christianity.com. First up today, here's a voicemail from one of our |
| 0:48.2 | listeners named David. I was wondering if you could completely explain Matthew 624 because I had a question in the past. |
| 1:00.2 | I didn't quite add up to a few answers that I was given. |
