Welcome to Andrew Womick Recorded Live, a weekly podcast featuring Andrew's latest live teaching sessions,

along with his other classic teachings through the years. And now here's Andrew. This week,

I want to share with you in the evening services. I think I'm going to do something different in the morning services, but in the evening services, I just want to talk about how that

God made you for success. He made you to be a winner. And I'm going to be talking about how to be

a success. And this is not going to be a motivational speech. I know some people when you hear a title like

study all the time. But I like it where you have an expected end. What that means to me is that instead

of just going through life and hoping that you finish your course well,

hoping that you leave with a shout instead of a whimper, hoping that you can look back and be

encouraged, you know, like the Apostle Paul and said, I have run the race, and I have finished my

course and there's laid up for me a crown. See, most people would like those kind of things,

but they have no confidence that they can obtain it.

But that verse says that God knows his thoughts towards you

and his desire is to give you an expected end,
