John 3:16-20, James 4:11-17, Ecclesiastes 7:1-14, Jeremiah 19-22

Recall: This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. John 3:16 (The Message)
Reflect: "A whole and lasting life"--GEEZ, that is what so many are longing for. Is it what I am offering to people in my ministry?
Respond: "What is it about my relationship with Jesus that the world cannot live without?" After someone has heard me or watched me, is that question answered for them? My relationship with Jesus gives my life wholeness and purpose. Jesus is the horizon, what I can look at and keep perspective no matter what else is going on in my life.
