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

If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

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

God bless you. Always a joy to come into your homes.

We love you. We know God has great things in store. If you're ever in our area, I hope you'll stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks for tuning in today.

I like to get started each week with something kind of funny and I heard about this man that lived in the country.

One night he heard some noise and he saw some burglar stealing things from his barn.

He ran to the phone and dialed 911 but the dispatcher said, I'm sorry sir, there are no patrol cars available.

You just need to lock your doors and we'll get somebody there soon as possible.

He hung up so frustrated about 30 seconds he called back and said, man don't worry about it.

You don't need to send anybody. I shot all the burglar's.

90 seconds later, three patrol cars, one sheriff and two ambulance showed up and they caught the burglar's red handed.

The sheriff went over afterwards and said, I thought you said you shot the burglar's.

The man said, I thought you said nobody was available.

All right, hold up your bibles. Say it like you mean it. This is my bibles.

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 being a good example.

Every one of us has a ministry. It may not be to be an opulpit like this but really your pulpit is your life.

People are watching how you live, how you respond to adversity, how consistent you are,
