We started a series called Jesus Loves You, based on the book by Craig Gross and Jason Harper (and also the most important truth from the Bible!). Often times, that quote can be taken for granted, misunderstood, and underestimated. For some, it could be that they have heard it so often. For others, it could be that they have never seen that modeled. And for some others, they have actually seen the opposite of that from those that claim to follow Christ.

Whatever the case may be, the statement is still true. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, what you have done, and where you are going. The simple truth is that Jesus loves YOU.

A few years ago, there was a show called “Pimp My Ride.” The show was about these guys that would take your average automobile, and turn it into an original masterpiece of beauty and artistry. Your car would truly become one of a kind.

In dating relationships, most people settle for the average person that sort of measures up to their standards, if they even have any other than physical criteria. If you compare a dating relationship to a car, God doesn’t want us to settle for the average, cheap car. He wants us to have a Ferrari. He wants us to have the best spouse available! Who you choose to marry is the 2nd most important decision we will ever make, the first being our choice to serve Christ or not.don’t settle for a Ford when God wants you to have a Ferrari.

There is something strangely fascinating and creepy about a jack in the box. I don’t know who invented the thing, but it’s sheer brilliance in its ability to capture and frighten at the same time. Anticipation builds as the crank is turned and the music plays. We know what’s going to happen, yet we continue to turn the crank, knowing we’re about to jump out of our skin. The interesting thing about it is that Jack was never intended to live inside the box. It’s purpose is not fulfilled until Jack comes out of the box. What Jack was intended for is fully realized when he pops out of his cage.

Job was a man that was the epitome of a follower of God. He did everything above and beyond in his devotion to his God. Because of that, God totally blessed him with wealth, possessions, fame, prestige, etc. He literally had it all together. But then he was struck by a cheap shot.

In a single day, he lost everything God had ever given him. His possessions, wealth, and even family except his wife. He didn’t do anything wrong. He was more godly than anyone else mentioned in the Bible. he offered sacrifices to God for himself and every member of his family DAILY just in case they MIGHT HAVE SINNED.
