Healthy Habits
Having concluded our series in James we will now turn our attention back one book to Hebrews, chapters 12 and 13. This weekend we will begin a new preaching series entitled ‘Healthy Habits’ covering topics such as our ‘focus’ in life; ‘discipline’; ‘home life’ and ‘leadership’ in the Church.
This will be followed up with a series entitled, ‘Body, Mind, Spirit’ where we carry on the theme of developing healthy habits physically, mentally, socially, emotionally and spiritually. Over the next few weeks can I encourage YOU to seek God in the realm of YOUR personal health and well-being and most importantly your relationship with Him and others (Matthew 22:37-40) which, after all, when all is said and done is the ‘greatest’ instruction Jesus ever gave.
God Bless,
Brett
