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.

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.

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 this teenager that just got his driver's license,

and he asked his father about borrowing the car.

His father said, son, I'll make a deal with you.

If you'll bring your grades up, read your Bible every day, and cut your hair, I'll let you borrow it.

He came back in a few weeks and asked about the car.

The father said, son, you brought your grades up.

You've been reading your Bible, but you still haven't cut your

hair. The son said, Dad, I've been thinking Moses had long hair, Samson had long hair,

even Jesus had long hair. The dad said, yes, son, and they walked everywhere they went.

Say, hey, like you mean it, this is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the word of God.
