Mark Batterson said “Faith is unlearning the senseless worries and misguided beliefs that keep us captive. It is far more complex than simply modifying behavior...” In just a few short days, Jesus went from hero to zero. People will praise you one minute and then turn and abandon you just as quickly. Let’s see how Jesus handled it…

Hmmmm… Hamburger Helper? When Greg owned a grocery store, he was shocked at how much Hamburger Helper they sold. Psalm 121 is a short chapter, only 8 verses. Yet, these 8 verses are full of hope and God’s promise of help, and it’s much better than the stuff you buy at the grocery store. John 14:26 says “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

Are you dealing with something in your life right now? I’m going to bet you are. Or you just finished going through something. OR you’re about to go through something. God’s word gives us comfort in times of struggle. Knock the dust off of your Bible – God wants to spend some time with you and help you with whatever it is you’re going through.

Join Greg as he digs into Romans 12:9-21. God never runs out of blessings. There are more than plenty to go around. Greg finishes pointing out 8 things to help us look, live and love like Jesus. It gets uncomfortable. We don’t want to do it. But we do it because it’s what God asks us to do. And we will be blessed for it.

Greg is challenging us this week to get out of our comfort zones. Let’s examine God’s commands in Romans 12:9-21 together. “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson Did God really say to bless those who persecute us? That is very uncomfortable but Jesus asks us to do this. How in the world are we supposed to be able to follow these sayings? Let’s keep looking at 8 things that help us look, live and love like Jesus.

Last May, Greg was interviewed for a TV program called “Bloom Today” in Marietta, GA. That’s where he met a fellow guest on the show, Amber Davis. Amber joins today’s broadcast from the Nashville, Tennessee area. Satan wants to take us out and one of the ways he does that is by distracting us from doing what God has called us to do. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God has plans for you.
