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- verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

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

be of good courage as we pick up in Acts chapter 23, verse 11.

And now with today's study, here's Pastor Chuck.

The Lord said, be of good cheer, Paul.

The word in Greek has been translated in another place, be of good courage.

Jesus said this on many occasions, and it might be a little interesting study for you to go back

and see the various places where Jesus said, be of good cheer or be of good courage.

When the disciples were in the ship trying to go across the other side,

and Jesus came walking on the water, and they were frightened, you know,

they thought they were seeing a ghost.

He said, be of good courage. You guys are scared to death, you know, they thought they were seeing ghosts. He said, be of good courage.

You guys are scared to death, you know, be of good courage.

It's I.
