Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed 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 like to start with something funny and I heard about this man.

He was in his bathroom and he went over to the scales to weigh himself.

His wife was over in the corner watching and he's a really large man.

When he stepped on, he sucked in his stomach as much as he possibly could and he held his breath.

His wife kind of laughed and said, honey, that's not going to help anything.

He said, sure it is, that's the only way I can see the numbers.

Say it 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.

I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same in Jesus' name.

God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about the God of another chance.

We all have opportunities that we've missed.

Times that we failed, we had something important, we knew God's calling was on our life.

He'd given us a dream, a great spouse to love, the door open for college.

But we let distractions and compromise and other people cause us to get off course.
