If anyone is winning at life, it’s Jesus. He lived without sin and pursued God with His whole life. Jesus sacrificially cared for people and taught everyone how to live in tune with God. No matter what inning of life you’re in, It’s not too late for you to pursue this kind of life. You’re not too old, too far gone, or too broken to find life.

I'm a creative Youth Leader at my small, but mighty church (5~10 teens) 1 of them an AVID baseball player. I pray & ask The Lord EVERY week what He wants me to teach on. This week He just kept saying "Don't teach, don't teach" I said, I needed a confirmation from Him. I had thought of a discussion, but that's not what God wants. It will be out of ordinary, but WOW! He wants me to show THIS video to my teens. THANK YOU Pastor Craig! I LOVE hearing you preach anyway,but today will be xtra special. HAPPY BLESSED FATHER'S DAY!

What a phenomenal message, as this is my first Father's Day without my earthly dad as well. I led him to Jesus and it was a tough battle, but through God's grace he is with our heavenly father. Thank you God for this message 🙏🏽🙌🏽

♈♑♈♑♈♑Made my cry, but thank you pastor, for sharing your story about your late dad. Also, i lost mine in 2012....period!

My earthly father passed away too. May our fathers rest in peace 🙏🏽

Wow this is an incredible message. Not sure why I'm crying but this has moved me. My daddy battled his own demons with addictions as a Vietnam vet. We, me and our family suffered because of it growing up but I always felt compassion and love for him because even as a little girl I knew he was hurting. Many years later we reconciled and shared the love of Jesus before he passed from glioblastoma 6 years ago. I know loved and forgave him just as he has for all of us. I am attend Celebrate Recovery at my church for my own hurts, habits and hang ups and it's such a beautiful community and family who are the realest people I know. God bless you Pastor for this most beautiful sermon and I pray it touches and frees anyone who may be struggling with their own addictions and may they know freedom is possible and how much they are needed and loved. God Bless you abundantly and enjoy this fine Father's Day with the ones you love and who are blessed to call you Dad. 🙏🏼🙌🏼❤️✝️
