0:00.0	There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word.
0:10.0	Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.
0:15.8	Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message given through Scott's
0:22.2	pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days.
0:29.4	It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today. I want you to open your Bible with me in the New Testament to the book of Ephesians.
0:51.1	And I'm going to be in Ephesians all day today three times I get to speak to you
0:54.9	in fact I'm going to give you give you a three-part message so don't duck out on us before we're
