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 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,

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

scan the QR code, I'll send it to you for free. And as I always say, give it your pay for,

lower your expectations. I did my best, but I'm trying to help. Amen. Here's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to pray for you and we're going to jump right into God's word. Amen.

All right. Father, God, thank you so much for an opportunity to jump into a new book of the

Bible. Holy Spirit, we invite you to help us to learn about who Jesus is and what Jesus does.

And Lord Jesus, this is your house. These are your people. And the story of the scriptures

finds you as the hero. So Jesus, we ask when all is said and done, the people would know you and
