Becoming Healthy Humans - Lesson Series at YG Jan 15 to Feb 5

Jesus told us that the thing that matters more than anything else is to love God with all we are and to love others the same way we want to be loved. And that’s sounds really good. But it’s also really hard. Especially when all the challenges and stresses of our lives leave us with almost no energy or attention to give to God or others. Instead of thriving as God intended, we often feel like we’re drowning. Throughout this series, we are going to learn how to build a life that is healthy and whole, full of life and freed from anxiety so that we can be and do all God intended for us.

Becoming Healthy Humans - Bible Reading Plan for Jan 15 to Feb 5

You were created by God to be healthy, whole, full of life, and free from anxiety—for your sake and the sake of others. Because your purpose is bigger than you. It’s about loving God with your whole self and loving your neighbor as yourself. But that’s really hard to do well when we’re emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically unwell. So, let’s embark on a journey to become healthy humans.

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. – Luke 2:10-11 (NIV)

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ – Mark 12:30 (NIV)
