Welcome to the Bible Study. I'm Stephen Lawson, President of One Passion Ministries.

And each week I will teach verse by verse through the passage of scripture

so that you can better understand the word of God

and put it into practice in your life. Join me now as we look together into this

section of the Bible. Well let me just tell you I sure missed getting to meet with with you guys the last

couple of weeks I've just come back from being overseas in Portugal, Ireland,

northern Ireland and just preaching up a storm and teaching

and the whole thing.

So God's doing a great work around the world and we're just a small part of that.

I tell you one thing that's very interesting to me is wherever I went,

men came up to me and said they're watching our Bible study.

So Portugal, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Belfast, I mean just wherever I went, men on their own initiative, man, we watch you every week.

We love the Bible study.

So, though we're just sitting here, there are men all around the world, and even ladies all around the world who are watching what God is doing in this room.

So to God be the glory for that.

We've got a killer study today. I mean this is

going to be really good and let me just tell you on the front end too, next week we need to meet on Tuesday morning.

And I don't know what you've got going on for Tuesday morning, but cancel it.

Okay, just cancel it.

Tell your kids to walk to school or whatever.

That's the way you got there.

But we're going to be here Tuesday morning so we can keep this going and I'm in and out, in and out, in and out.
