biggest loser 2: "lose the weight of debt"
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

Matthew 23:23"How terrible it will be for you
teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are
careful to tithe even the tiniest part of your income, but you ignore the
important things of the law--justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe,
yes, but you should not leave undone the more important things.
