Well, hey podcast pals, it's Pastor Mark Trisco here. Thank you for tuning in. I've had the

honor of teaching the Bible for around 30 years. Happy to report. I got my cancel card about a

decade ago. Nice to get that out of the way. And now I'm back in a zombie mode, man, you can't kill

me. And if you would do me a solid, I could really use your help. Number one, rate this podcast.

Everybody gives me one in five star reviews. I need you to give me a five star. In addition,

I review the podcast. Tell them it's good. It's helpful. It's fun. It's authentic. It's

genuine. It's down the fairway. It's all about Jesus. And share it. Let your friends know. Let

your family know. And if you want to trigger your enemies, let them know too. I've been triggering

woke joke folks since the mid 90s and glad to keep up to fight. All right. Good to see you all.

Thanks for joining us. I have a tremendous sense of expectation. I was praying all week and I went

on a prayer hike and I had the sermon prepared. And then I felt like the Holy Spirit spoke to me and

said to go a completely different direction. So I believe that God has something very unique for

each of you today. I believe for some of you it's a healing. For some of you are going to become

Christians. For some of you, you're going to get unburdened. For some of you, you're going to

reconcile some strained relationships. And for others of you, God's going to give you instruction

about the next season of your life. And to do that, we're going to open the word of God because the

best way to get a word from God is to open the word of God. We're in a new testament book called

First Thessalonians and we're in chapter two. As you're finding your place, what I want to do is

give you a couple of gifts and then I'll pray and then we'll jump in. This sermon's going to be

a little bit different. But if you'd like to learn more about First Thessalonians,

I'll give you a QR code study guide. And if you want to learn more about the Holy Spirit and

having a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit, I'll give you a copy of this book,
