Hi, this is Joel in Victoria.

Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

Please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

Thanks so much for tuning in and thank you again for coming out today.

I'd like to start with something funny.

I heard about this mother one Sunday morning she went into her son's bedroom.

Said, son, wake up.

It's time to go to church.

He kind of groaned and rolled over and said, no, mom, I'm not going to church today.

She said, what do you mean you're not going? Why not?

He said, mom, I'll give you two good reasons.

Number one, I don't like those people.

And number two, they don't like me.

She said, son, that's no excuse.

I'll give you two better reasons why you should go.

Number one, you're 59 years old.

And number two, you're the pastor.

Hold up your Bible.
