This podcast is presented to you by Pastor Randy Hand and Celebration Church in Fresno, California.

Christ who strengthens me. There's an endowment with power.

There's a supply of determination that comes when we are approaching God from a fixed position.

And I'm going to be extremely adamant all the days I'm called to stand in a pulpit to challenge the church to understand.

The Bible never works for people that apply it halfway.

You find people that were selling houses and land.

They so believed in what God was doing.

They so believed that Jesus was alive,

that their whole lives revolved around the idea

that there's something available through Jesus
