0:00.0	There is no substitute for the faithful preaching and teaching the Word of God.
0:12.5	Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley guides us through a brief practical study of scripture.
0:19.3	But on the weekend pulpit, we are privileged to share full-length Bible messages
0:23.8	from the early years of Scott's preaching ministry.
0:26.9	These sermons were recorded live in local churches or gospel meetings.
0:30.9	It is our prayer that, as you listen,
0:33.3	the timeless truths of God's word will strengthen your faith,
0:37.0	encourage your heart, and draw you
