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. prayer that the message will be a help to you today. Open your Bible with me to the gospel according to Mark, maybe your Bible with me to the gospel according to Mark. Maybe your Bible's starting to fall open naturally to this book now. I'm hoping you'll fall in love of this gospel record and with the

ministry and life of the Lord Jesus and these gospels. So much so that when you go home, you'll read

and study it for yourself. tonight i bring you to mark

chapter 12 that's an interesting chapter because it ends in con it begins in conflict and ends in peace

it it begins and continues with lots of back and forth and almost fighting an argument and debate

but when it ends it ends with a totally different picture, quite a contrast.

All through the chapter of the scribes and the Pharisees and the chief priest, they're like back and

forth of Jesus, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

Would you look here just a moment?

Some of you are back and forth of Jesus this week.

Sitting in the meetings, you're hearing the message, and you know the truth, and

you know what you ought to do, but you're arguing with the Lord.

And you say, how does he know that?

Because I've been there.

I sat where you sit now, and I said to, for the call you earlier today, a few years ago, I was

arguing with the Holy Spirit.

I figured out something.
