Jody McCoy’s sermon on “Jesus Restores Meaning” built on the series of sermons he gave in 2012 named “Battle for the Soul”. Jody briefly summarized the series and then continued to make the case that we are not worth anything in physical terms, but our worth was established by Jesus when he paid for us with His Life. Jody finished with the concept that our free will offering of our lives in service to God is all we are able to give that has any value. He concluded with “Free will is the perfect gift”.
Jody used the following scriptures: Ez. 18:4, Rom. 5:8

Hi Jody,
Thanks for bringing the message this week, although it was a crowded schedule, your sermon fit in fine. It could have been the abbreviated format, but some of the points you made stood out although I think you have made them before. The concept of evil in the world and the free will offering were especially good.

Jody,
Thank you for reminding us of the value Christ placed on us when He offered his life for us. Although Jesus does not require our physical lives in return, He truly loves our spiritual offering up of our will to Him and His purposes. Surely, without Jesus in His proper place, our lives fail to have meaning; but with Jesus occupying first place in our lives, we can have a blessed life here and now, with great lives to follow. Thank you, Jody, for staying over for my cataract surgery. It is always a blessing to have you with us, especially when we have health issues. God has blessed us with you and the rest of the family. Truly, as you say, God is Good!
