Hi, this is Joel and 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'd 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 burglars 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

as soon as possible. He hung up so frustrated. About 30 seconds he called back and said,

ma'am, don't worry about it. You don't need to send anybody. I shot all the burglars.

90 seconds later, three patrol cars, one sheriff and two ambulances showed up. And they caught the

burglar's red-handed. The sheriff went over afterwards and said, I thought you said you shot the burglars. 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 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 being a good example. Every one of us has a ministry.

It may not be to be in a pulpit like this, but really your pulpit is your life.

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

and how you treat people around you. Our actions

speak louder than our words. We are called to be the light of the world. We're supposed to be

the salt of the earth. That means the way we live should make other people want what we have.

We should have so much joy, so much peace.
