Operation: God's Prescription for Life (October 22 - December 17, 2006)

Operation: God's Prescription for Life

In the game "Operation", we are the doctor and the stakes for a surgery mishap are laughable.  But when it comes to real life, Jesus Christ is the great physician and the stakes are eternal.  In Matthew 5:1-12, Jesus diagnoses the underlying attitudes that rob us of the life God created us to enjoy.
