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.

Well, God bless you. It's a joy to be with you. And if you're ever in our area, please stop by,

be a part of one of our services. I'll promise

you, we'll make you feel right at home. But I like to start with something funny, and I heard about

this man. He was sitting on an airplane next to a beautiful single lady. They struck up a conversation,

and he asked her what kind of men she liked. She said, well, I like Native American men

with their high cheekbones and golden tan skin. Plus, I like Jewish men. They're so brilliant

and successful. And I like good old boys from the South with their long southern draw. What's your

name? He said, my name is Geronimo

Bernstein, but my friends call me Bubba. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the word of God.

I boldly confess, my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same.

In Jesus' name.

God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about faith for the middle. It's easy to have faith at the start when that new baby is born. You marry that beautiful girl. You start that business. That's exciting.

There's adrenaline flowing. It's easy to have faith at the end. When you can see the finish line,

the dream is in sight, you fought the good fight. have faith at the end. When you can see the finish line, the dream is in sight, you fought the good fight.

Having faith at the start and faith at the end is no problem.

The real challenge is having faith in the middle.
