There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word.

Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message given through Scott's pulpit ministry.

These messages were recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days.

It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today.

Thank you. Well, I've always loved sinners, you know what I mean? So, ha, ha, ha.

Oh, yes.

We love picking on Michigan.

I'm married to a Michiganer so I can do it, you know.

It's great to see all of you tonight.

And by the way, that Freedom Barbershop quartet did pretty good tonight didn't they

if we can get all of them matching suspenders and polka dot ties i'll take them on the road with me full

time and uh that was a blessing enjoyed it so much what a what a great thing to sing about jesus

aren't you glad to be saved tonight nothing like it nothing in the world like it and i was thinking earlier next to next to being saved tonight. Nothing like it. Nothing in the world like it. And I was thinking earlier,

next to being saved yourself, the next greatest joy is to see somebody else get saved.

We saw some people respond to the gospel this morning, come to receive Christ. That was wonderful,

wasn't it? And then, you may not know this, but there was a husband and wife here this morning

that got saved after the service today.

And I just give God all the glory and praise for it.

I was happy to get to observe it and see it happen because there's power in the gospel and the Lord is at work.

With that in mind, I want you to open your Bible with me, if you will, please.

Acts chapter number eight, we're going to pick up with a great story of Philip
