Hello, and thanks for being here with us for today's Destin for Victory with Pastor Paul Shepard.

Our message, can't we all just get along, is coming right up.

But first, we want to share just part of an important conversation I once had with Pastor Paul.

He often spoke passionately about the power and the necessity of partnership.

I ask him what he would say to you or listening friends and partners, and here's what he said.

I want them to know your partnership is very, very important and necessary.

When you think about it, starting way back, I'm thinking about Moses, he could not have

been Moses without the partners. God gave him. God raised up Joshua. The Bible called Joshua

Moses' minister before it called him God's minister. And Joshua was one of those key people.

Aaron, his brother, was one of his key partners. Every man or

woman of God since then, all the way into, of course, when you get to the ministry of Jesus,

Jesus himself required partnership. Isn't that amazing that the God man needed partners? He took Peter, James, and John

farther into the Garden of Githemone, and he said, just stay here and watch with me. And he cried

and poured out his heart to get ready for that moment when he would lay down his life for us, and he needed that partnership.

He had Peter, James, and John. He also had Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Then when you look at the

apostles, there is no Paul without Timothy, without Silas, without Barnabas. And on and on,

all of us need partners. So the bottom line is, I'm so grateful for every man, woman, boy, and girl,

who has become a partner for our ministry so you can keep on providing this platform

so that we can reach even more people for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Pastor Paul always made it clear that he wanted destined for victory to continue after his preaching days were over. So today your partnership with us is more important than it's ever been, as we seek to build upon the strong legacy of faith he left behind.

For as little as $20 a month, you can become a Destin for Victory partner today.

And we want you to know that every penny of your donation
