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 our text.

And then in the closing verses, verses 20 to 23, he gives a fourth sermon, and those two sermons

were given actually on the same day in what we would call the month of December, different

on their calendar, but time of year for us. So think about it. He gives a sermon in September,
