The Old Testament scripture pas
sage was Job 42: 1-6 and 10-17.
Those verses tell how God released
Job from captivity and granted him
much family, respect and wealth in
his new life.
Luke 19: 1-10, the New Testament
reading, is the story of Christ's call to
Zacheus. As a result of Christ's love
for him, the publican changed his
ways and started over.

begin again. Rather than give in to
discouragement when they encounter
rough times. Rev. Ross encouraged
Christians to take another shot to start
over on their faith journey.
