There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word.

Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message

given through Scott's pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church

or gospel event in recent days. It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today.

Music will be a help to you today. Where in the Bible you want to go tonight?

I'm going to let you pick.

What book of the Bible?

All right, well, let's go to Mark then.

And what chapter in Mark would you like to go to?

Well, then let's go to Mark

chapter one, if that's where you want to go. If you're just joining us this evening, we've been

living in Mark chapter one for the last three days. And what a thrill it is, just to camp in a

portion of scripture. I think sometimes we get in such a, excuse me, an all-fire hurry about getting through

something onto the next thing that we miss what is right in front of us. As a matter of fact,

this is not the sermon, this one's extra, all right? I would recommend that when you come to the

Word of God, even for your devotional reading of the Scripture, that you slow down, do not measure your Bible reading in length, measure it in depth.

Be honest, how many have you ever read several chapters in the Bible only to finish

and not be able to remember one blessed thing you read. How many

have you ever had that happen before? Sure. How many of you know one word from the word of God can

absolutely transform you? And I think sometimes just our meditation of Scripture, even we

preachers are guilty of this. You get up and we're so excited about what we have to say.
