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,

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 elderly woman.

She came to church one Sunday morning, and a friendly usher met her at the back door and asked where she

wanted to sit. She said, I want to sit on the very front row. He said, oh, no, ma'am, you don't want to do

that. Our pastor is very boring. He'll put you to sleep. Let me seat you somewhere else.

She looked appalled. She said, sir, do you know who I am? He said, no, ma'am. She said, I am the pastor's

mother. He hung his head in shame, embarrassment. He finally looked up and said, ma'am, do you know

who I am? She said, no. He said, thank God. 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.
