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 always a joy to come into your homes. We love you.

If you're ever in our area, I hope that you'll stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you this. We'll make you feel right at home. You'll love our new facility. You can come celebrate what God has done for us right here at Lakewood and just love to have you be a part of it. But thanks for tuning in today.

I like to get started each week with something kind of funny, and I heard about this couple.

They were driving down the road, and they saw this sign that said,

Nacadoches, 40 miles ahead.

They began to argue about how to correctly pronounce the name Nacadochus.

And the husband got so upset, he finally said to his wife, when we get there, I'm going to stop and prove to you that I'm right.

And they sat silently the next 30 minutes as they drove. And when they finally arrived, he pulled into the first fast food restaurant.

He and his wife barged up there to the counter. And he said to the young lady, my wife and I have been arguing for the last

30 minutes, can you tell us very slowly and very

clearly how to pronounce the name of this place?

The young lady's eyes got real big and she leaned over the counter and said

Burger King.

All right, hold up your Bible.

Say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible.

I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have.
