We all have goals for our lives and we know how difficult it can be to change a bad habit. In the scripture passage Pastor Mark will be teaching from we will be reminded of how Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and with men, and how His life story is an example for us in how to live our lives day to day. Even though not everyone liked or appreciated what Jesus had to say, He didn’t try to bully people into accepting the truth but spoke with love and from honest concern for the people around Him.
