Hello, friends, this is Evangelist Scott Pauli.

I'm so happy that you are joining our broadcast today.

Several years ago, when we first began the Enjoying the Journey broadcast, we started with my favorite book of the Bible.

I've adopted it really is my life's study on the book of Philippians. And the theme, of course, of that great book is the joy of the

Lord Jesus Christ. Truly, it is the Bible treaties on what it means to enjoy the journey. Now we're

thrilled to share this anniversary series with you again

in the hopes that God will use it in your life

to help you learn to enjoy the Lord Jesus Christ

at whatever stage you happen to be on on life's journey.

I trust that these studies from the Word of God today

will refresh your spirit and renew your strength

for the days ahead. God bless

you as you listen. I don't know what it was like at your house growing up but at our house if mother said

something once we were expected to listen. If she said it twice, we were really supposed to listen,

and if she said it three times, it was too late to listen. Most of you understand exactly what

I'm talking about. Well, I want to draw your attention to the fact that God often repeats

himself for emphasis. For example, do you realize

that in Philippians chapter number one, in 30 short verses, there are no less than six, count

for yourself, six references to the gospel. Why would the Lord use this word repeatedly? When God repeats himself, it's not because he forgot

he said it the first time. When God repeats himself, it's always because he doesn't want us to forget it.

In fact, he's trying to put something so deeply in our heart, we will not escape it. In chapter one of

the book of Philippians details for us what life is to look like in the gospel.
