Welcome to Enjoying the Journey with Evangelist Scott Pauli.

Today we are on a journey through Scripture.

We hope you'll join us as we make 66 stops through each book of the Word of God.

Many years ago, I was traveling in Jordan. We were training preachers of the Word of God. It was an amazing time.

And before I left the country, the Jordanian pastor that was hosting me said, I want to show you a few of the sites.

And so he took me one afternoon. My father was with me. We had an amazing afternoon. He took me to a famous place known as Petra.

I had heard of Petra, of course, for years, but I was not prepared for what I was about to see.

movies, this particular temple face has been used, but I'd never been to anything like it.

the face of the rock. It was an amazing experience.

I discovered that the place where I was standing was the city, the place that the book of Obadiah is all about.

We're journeying through the Old Testament and we've come now to one page, that's right. One page in your Bible. One little chapter known as
