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.

So I want you to take your Bible and find Genesis chapter number 15, if you will.

I will not be in this same chapter in every meeting, but I will be in the life of this great man of faith. And more than that, I don't want you to know Abraham better. I want you to know

the God of Abraham better. And you to know Abraham better. I want you to know the God of Abraham better.

And you're not Abraham, and I'm not Abraham, but we serve the same God that Abraham served.

And learning to believe him and learning to obey him. That's the whole thing. I love the Bible.

I really do. I was in, I was in an airport yesterday trying to get here. And I was standing at a gate. It's funny watching people. Did you know

watching people in airports is better than watching television? It really is. And I was just

standing there, just mind my own business, watching people.

And I heard a conversation to my left.

It caught me.

And there was a woman standing off to my left with several children.

And she was a woman of a different faith, a different religious persuasion.

And that you could tell by the way she was attired.

And I had not seen her to that moment.

And there was an elderly woman seated in a wheelchair waiting to get on.

And they were engaged in a conversation.

And I heard the older woman saying to this young mother,

you're doing a good job with these children.

She was encouraging her.

And she said, you know, we all need patience and we all are learning.
