Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

We're God bless you, such a joy to come into your homes and if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home.

But thanks so much for tuning in and thank you again for coming out today.

I like to start with something funny and I heard about this pastor.

He was asked to inform a member of his congregation who had a heart condition that he had just inherited $10 million.

They were concerned because of the shock that he might have a heart attack.

The pastor said, sir, what would you do if you inherited $10 million?

The pastor said, the first thing I do is give half of it to the church. At that point, the pastor fell over dead.

Hold up your Bible and say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert.

My heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus name. God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about an expected end.

I was with a well-known actor a few years ago. He not only stars in major movies, he writes them.

We walked into this room that had a large glass wall overlooking his property.

There were all these five by seven index cards stuck up on the wall, probably 150 of them.

He explained how he was writing a movie and those were all the different scenes.

He studies them, moves things around, adds a scene here, takes away a scene there.

He told to have a good movie, you need ups and downs, conflicts and victories, good characters and bad, twist and turns.

While it was very fascinating, it was very confusing. It looked so complicated.
