biggest loser 3: "lose the weight of fear"
DESCRIPTION
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.TRANSCRIPT

The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will
stumble and fall.

Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.

Matthew 6:25-27 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat
or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more
important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
