A January New Year's Resolution series. In this series Jeff challenged his congregation to lose weight spiritually as well as physically. On the spiritual side, he covered four "fatty" areas where Christians need to lose weight: guilt, debt, fear, and mediocrity. On the physical side, Jeff challenged his people to lose 10 lbs. during the month of January and promised to lose work at it with them. He was weighed in each of these Sunday mornings by one of his board members...on an accurate doctors scale...on the platform...while the congregation watched...just before he spoke! Jeff ended up losing 14 lbs. that January and has since shed 50 lbs. over a two and a half year period.

angels.

complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying, "God has lost track of me. He doesn't care

what happens to me"? Don't you know

anything? Haven't you been listening? God

doesn't come and go. God lasts.
