Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoy 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.

It's great to be with you today.

I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast or YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit us in person.

We'd love to have you be a part of one of our services.

I'd like to start with something funny.

And I heard about this pastor.

He bought a new horse.

He trained it to respond to praise the Lord, meaning giddy up, and hallelujah, meaning woe.

Every time he said, praise the Lord, the horse took off running.

When he said, hallelujah, it would quickly stop.

One day he is out riding and the horse got spooked, took off running straight toward the cliff, going full blast.

In the panic, he couldn't remember what he taught the horse.

He said, bless God, glory, amen.

Nothing happened.

The last moment, he shouted, hallelujah.

The horse came to a screeching halt just inches before the edge of the cliff.

He breathed the sigh of relief and said, praise the Lord.

Say it like you mean it.
