We live in a fast-paced, ever-moving world where everyone seems to be rushing in every direction.

0:14.3

And yet, in scripture, God desires to teach us that walking with him is our greatest and most important adventure.

0:22.6

Join Scott Pauli along this journey as we rediscover the joy of our walk with Christ.

It's no wonder that the wisest man who ever lives, Solomon, in Proverbs chapter 6, verse 11, says,

0:44.1

2:04.6

I bring you today to one of the great journeys of the Bible in Genesis chapter number 45.

2:09.6
