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. that's great to see all of you tonight i've been looking forward to being here. I've known the pastor, as he said, for a long time.

I think that class he walked into that I was teaching, that was my first year teaching at the college.

And I remember that well.

And actually, I was serving as the youth director at that time, and Andrew was in our youth group.

How many of you'd like to hear some great stories on Andrew?

Would you raise your hand?

I've got some, let me tell you.

Maybe we should use as a church promotion for tomorrow, right?

Come tomorrow for those.

Were these your girls, Andrew, that were singing here?

Man, beautiful girls.

Praise God for Jesus and mothers, right? And that was wonderful. And I saw them sitting down here on the front row. I thought maybe they were going

to be the Amen Corner tonight, but I appreciated them singing. Great to see your family. And I know

we've got friends visiting with us, and it's wonderful to see you. Let me just tell you,

don't come here tomorrow all right

you'll get us in real trouble be in your church tomorrow but we are glad you're here tonight

and glad to be with this church family how many of you do attend this church would you raise your hand
