Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station.

On today's edition, a pathway to victory.

Thomas J. Watson, the founder of the IBM Corporation, said,

the way to succeed is to double your failure rate.

That's where I got the title for today's message.

What he's saying is, the more times you try something,

yes, the more you're going to fail, but the more you're going to succeed as well.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

You know, you can walk into any bookstore or library these days,

and you'll find books on how to be more successful in every area of life.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress shares the first of Solomon's secrets for success.

It has to do with the power of persistence.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

David, we're so excited about the upcoming Pathway to Victory Bible prophecy tour to Israel.

It's only a little over a month away, April 25th through May 5th.

One of my favorite spots is the Sea of Galilee, where rolls stand on the shores at the Mount of Beatitudes

and talk about Jesus' teaching.

We'll also venture out on a boat and reflect on Jesus' miracle when he walked on the water,

and we'll go to the Jordan River where our Lord was baptized,
