Sermon Series: Seven Laws of the Spiritual LifeJesus came to reveal God to us. He was gentle and kind, and yet there were some things that really set Him off!

Text: John 2:1-22On this Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, we need to be reminded of the tremendous value that Jesus places on both children and adults. Jesus not only serves as our example, He also gives us a mandate to treat everyone with the same dignity and worth that He does. The preborn matter to God – and so do you! As we care for those who are less fortunate, God will give us opportunities to rescue the perishing, we will impact our culture, and we will point people to the Savior.
Text: John 10:14-30When faced with the uncertainty of the future, Jabez next asks God to put His hand upon him. Once God blesses him, and helps him break out of his predictable routines, he desires to rely on God’s guidance. His last request is for God to keep him from evil. Instead of just praying for strength, He boldly asks the Almighty to steer him away from those things that will trip him up spiritually. This verse concludes by saying that “God granted his request.” God will answer this prayer in your own life as well – pray it on a regular basis and watch God work!
