Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter by chapter verse by

verse study through the entire Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck

continues his message, the judging of spiritual matters as we pick up in 1st Corinthians chapter 6

in Cesarea.
