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

We believe you're going to have an awesome 2024, healthy, productive, and favor filled.

God bless you today and enjoy the message.

God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes. We love you. Just an honor to spend this next half hour or so with you.

So if you're ever in our area, I hope you'll stop by and make yourself at home here.

I promise you we'll make you feel comfortable, but come out and see us.

We're glad to have you tuned in today.

I'd like to get started each week with something kind of funny.

And I heard about this

guy. He had been stranded all alone on a deserted island for 20 years, and all of a sudden

this ship came up to rescue him. The captain came ashore, and he noticed that the man had built

three buildings in a row. He was kind of curious. He asked the man, what are those three

buildings? The man said, well, the building on the left is my home,

and the building on the right is my church.

The captain was even more curious.

He said, what about that one in the middle?

And the man said, oh, that's the church I used to go to.

Say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible.

I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have.
