The words of a popular song ask, "Jesus take the wheel." It's a metaphor that gives Jesus permission to take over our lives. This morning at the Sunshine Rescue Mission, we asked the question, "How could we communicate like Jesus?"
The world seems to be growing more argumentative with each conversation. Our tendency is to work hard to persuade others to join our side of the argument and give up their own. Today we examined another option. Instead of taking opposing sides against each other, what would it look like if we took the side of Jesus?
How can we speak like Jesus spoke? Today we examined 15 quotes from Jesus and examined them to see how we might fit them into our own lingo. You can find the list below. We encourage you to go through the list and see how you might use those words in your life.

Please join our email list to keep up to date on YWAPportuniies to serve youth and their families. YWAP empowers people to become collaborators in a community effort to create a better world for children and their families. Investing in youth is a preemptive strike against sexual abuse, drug addiction and human trafficking. Our new program is called “Strong Men Great Dads.” Men gather in a “Man Cave” through a partnership of transparency and accountability. A fatherless generation is lacking the knowledge of a Father’s Love. Our goal is to help guys become Christ-centered men who respect women and accept the responsibilities of becoming a dad. We don’t hibernate in the Man Cave, we believe in Community Engagement through god neighborliness. The YWAP Directors serve in Pastoral Leadership by ministering to Youth Ministry Teams and Prayer Teams. We teach Biblically based best practices from a 25 year background in ministry. We appreciate your prayers and support. For more information about YWAP programs, to volunteer or become a guest speaker, please call us at: 716-830-8240 or email, [email protected].
