First Things First: I Got the Power

There is a Sunday School song that goes, “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong, they are week but He is strong.”

 Pastor Joe preaches on loving God with all our strength. He demonstrates different ways we think about strength – strongman competitors, superheroes, and ants! Did you know that an ant can lift and carry 10x to 50x its own body weight?? Loving with our strength takes practice, and it takes sacrifice. Sometimes the sacrifice is relatively painless – like giving up a couple of hours of TV a day. Sometimes the sacrifice can be ultimate – like being persecuted, imprisoned, or killed for our faith. The source of our strength is the Lord God.
