Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter-by-chapter by chapter verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues his message,

a different ministry as we pick up in Romans chapter 15 verse 19.

And now with today's study, here's Pastor Chuck. Paul here declares the deeds were through

mighty signs and wonders by the power of the spirit of God. It must have been exciting to be around

Paul and to see those mighty signs and wonders that were wrought

by the Holy Spirit and the power of the Spirit in his life. So Paul says so that from Jerusalem

and around about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ, or I have preached the full

gospel of Christ.

Ye, so have I strive to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.

It is always rather amusing to me how many people feel called to start churches close around Calvary Chapel here.

I must, well, I guess I shouldn't, but I do.

I shouldn't say I must.

I do oftentimes question their motivation.

It would appear that they're seeking to build upon another man's foundation.
