The constant noise of contemporary life makes it easy to miss the most profound message the world has ever known: Jesus loves you. Innovative teachers Craig Gross and Jason Harper will separate the religious from the real as they show how this simple truth is worth our undivided attention.

It is important to teach the world that Jesus loves them, but don't forget repentance while going about preaching the LOVE of Jesus. We must not let the world think that jesus loves them for what they are, Jesus loves them for who they can and will be in Christ.Jesus loves the sinner not the sin.It is plain as the Bible specifically says no sin will enter in.We that love Jesus are to keep his commandments.Please in your efforts to see souls saved please don't leave out REPENTANCE as it is the core of Salvation.Jesus saves people FROM THEIR SINS NOT IN THEM.
God Bless
