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 great to be with you today.

And I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media.

And you can come visit us in person.

Finest people in all of Houston, Texas, right here at Lakewood.

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 these three pastors that were in a boat together fishing.

One of them said, we never get to let our hair down.

Let's each tell the area that we struggle in the most, our greatest sin, so we can pray for each other.

First pastor said, I hate to admit it, but I have a problem with gambling.

Sometimes I sneak out at night and gamble. Second pastor said, I'm ashamed to admit this, but I have a problem with gambling. Sometimes I sneak out at night and gamble.

Second pastor said, I'm ashamed to admit this,

but I have a problem with cheating.

I hardly ever pay my taxes.

Third pastor sat there silently.

They waited and waited.

He wouldn't budge.
