of the Word of God.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of a series on "The gospel in Galatians."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Actually, we just started,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for our lives today,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The precious Good News,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and how when we try to share it,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sometimes people resist the truth

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as it is in Jesus.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Our topic today: Paul's Authority[br]and Gospel,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
about Paul being transformed?

Got an email just a few weeks ago

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
from someone who in China watched[br]one program,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
went back and watched 100 hours

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of interactive Bible studies[br]in our archives.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So it's there for you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here are a few notes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
One from Albert in Namibia,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that's former German West Africa,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you know, just north of South Africa,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and Albert writes, "It's so edifying

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to watch and listen

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to you explain the Bible so clearly.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My wife and I enjoy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
your Bible study every Friday evening

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in preparation for the Sabbath.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am a teacher, and I gain

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a lot of knowledge from your classes,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which I apply during my class," good?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That's what we want, download the outline.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"What I want to know is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
whether your class is consisting

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of all student pastors

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because you all seem to know the Bible."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I guess you could tell, Albert, by the way

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that everybody laughed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that they're not all student pastors.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"May the Good Lord continue blessing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and giving you spiritual wisdom

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as you share the Good News

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with the whole world," amen?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Team) Amen.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Derek) So what's the takeaway there?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And the answer is,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we can all do something for Jesus, right?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Whether we're teachers or counselors

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or physicians or homemakers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or construction workers or pastors, right?[br]Bible teachers.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We can all do something for Jesus.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Thanks for writing to us, Albert.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here's a note from Kwasi in Ghana.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Anyone with Ghanaian roots?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Oh, Joshua! Ghanaian roots, all right.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Have a little wave here for Kwasi. Okay.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
