Understanding How Much God Loves You | Shannon O'Dell

Week 3 of Cosmetheology Instead of Cosmetology. There are more than 100 verses about hair in Scripture, and this week Pastor Shannon O'Dell lands on one of the most personal ones.

Out of Matthew 10, Jesus says the very hairs on your head are numbered. Not counted. Numbered. And in the original language, it was already finished before the world was made. The message works out what that means for how you live: fear God instead of everybody else's opinion, trust that you matter, give him all of yourself instead of a trimmed public version, and quit living in proving mode.

It ends on the dream you've had sitting on the back burner, and five things that move it to the front.
