0:00.0	Welcome to Enjoying the Journey with Evangelist Scott Pauli.
0:13.0	Today we are on a journey through Scripture.
0:16.0	We hope you'll join us as we make 66 stops through each book of the Word of God.
0:35.8	Many years ago, a famous preacher was asked,
0:38.5	are you ready to preach?
0:40.0	And his answer was, not yet, I have not yet got a morsel for myself.
0:45.6	He meant by that.
0:47.1	He understood that his own soul had to be fed if he was going to pass the bread on to anyone else.
0:53.4	I give you that story because in our journey now,
0:56.0	we've come to the book of Second Corinthians.

1:19.3	verse 14 through chapter 7 and verse 1, these are some of the verses that I frequently meditate on
1:25.9	just before I get up to preach and teach the
1:29.1	word of God to someone else. It does my heart good. And if you're teaching or preaching the
1:33.6	Bible trying to minister to anyone else, I would challenge you to read this passage for yourself.
1:39.0	It's filled with truths for ministers. For example, 2 Corinthians chapter 3 verse 5. Not that we are sufficient of
1:48.4	ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God. Isn't that a great verse?
1:56.6	A reminder that we're nothing and God is everything. The key word of this book literally is the word minister.
