• Does taking drugs enable you to cope with life?
• Have you driven or gone to work while taking drugs?
• Do you need drugs to get by?

• Which drugs do you struggle with? Pain killers, crack, marijuana, cocaine, inhalants? Even something as simple as sleeping pills can be addictive.

Jesus came to set the captives FREE. He does not want you to live in addiction to anything. He is all you need to get by. When Jesus is Lord of your life, your focus changes.

Jesus says, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10

Why are drugs so bad for us?

Our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit. When we introduce drugs into our system we tamper with our temple. Drugs are proven to reduce memory, destroy the brain, and to bring harm to our bodies. What may seem like a moment of pleasure now will catch up with you later. Your bodies begin to crave the drug. Numerous addicts have lost everything they possess in pursuit of a temporary high.

Give up the temporary, the material and depend upon Jesus. His Kingdom reigns forever and ever.
