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, and social media, and you can come visit us in person.

We'd love to have you be a part of one of our services.

But I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard about these three men that were out

in the wilderness, and they came upon this violent, raging river, and they needed to get to

the other side.

The first man prayed, God, please give me the strength to make it across and poof, God gave

him big arms, big legs. He was able to swim across in two hours. The next man prayed,

God, please give me the strength and the tools to make it across. Poof, God gave him a boat. He was

able to row across in 30 minutes.

The next man prayed,

God, please give me the strength,

the tools, and the intelligence to make it across.

And poof, God turned him into a woman.

She looked at the map,

hike five minutes upstream, and walked across the bridge.
