Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

Thanks so much for listening to the podcast, and thanks for supporting the ministry.

We believe you're going to have an awesome 2024, healthy, productive, and favor-filled.

God bless you today and enjoy the message.

God bless you.

It's a joy to come into your homes.

We love you.

We come each week with good news.

I know that God rewards the people that seek after him. And I believe that's you. You wouldn't have tuned in today, or you guys wouldn't be here, but we just welcome you today. I hope you'll come back. If you're ever in the Houston area, stop by and see us. We give you a personal invitation. and I promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

But thanks for joining us today.

I'd like to start each week with something kind of funny, and I heard about this man. He was on vacation with his family in Jerusalem, and suddenly his mother-in-law died. He went to make arrangements to get the body back home. The consulate told him it would cost $5,000 to have it shipped,

but only $100 to have it buried there in Jerusalem.

After deep thought, he told the consulate he wanted to have the body shipped back home.

The consulate said, well, you must have really loved your mother-in-law.

He said, no, it wasn't necessarily that.

I just remember a time many years ago

where they buried somebody here, and on the third day he arose,

and I can't take that chance.

All right.

Hold your Bibles up.

Say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible.
