Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast. Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

We're continuing on in our series Promise Land. This is the last week and honestly this week I've been sad about it.

I have had so much fun with you. It has been such a joy and a pleasure to be able to preach.

And I've learned so much through this time. I hope you have too. And I have had so much fun with you.

And we're going to have fun today, too, as we continue talking about this.

I do have a quick question, though, for you guys. Where on social media are my pro-beard people?

Because you've been quiet lately. And there's a lot of anti-beard people on there lately. A lot, all right?

They are organized. They are active. They are well-funded, I presume, because they have a lot of time on their hands.

No, it's been mostly in fun. I mean, there's been some vicious ones on there, but my counseling is expensive, but it's working.

So I need some pro-beard people to show up every once in a while on social media.

Thank you, sir. I can hear that beard from here. Thank you.

All right. As a reminder, we've been talking about Moses' journey and the Israelites' journey to the Promise Land.

We started off by talking about the curse, and we talked about the salvation.

Last week, we talked about the water baptism. This week, we're talking about the spirit.

Us being baptized in the spirit. Us receiving the spirit so that we can walk out our lives.

And I want to encourage you to keep studying this stuff for yourselves.

There is so much. It was impossible for me to cover everything that I wanted to.

There were so many things. Last week, we talked about water baptism.

And Moses' name literally means born of water.

And we just didn't have time to cover all the details about how he emerged from the water and what all of that meant.

And there's just so much that you can read and study in that.

And so the series just has not even scratched the surface of the depths of the profound meaning that is found in the imagery of this story.
