THE MIND AT EASE | Week 1 – Where Am I Now? | January 05, 2025
Sermon Description:
As we begin the New Year, whether we’re the “resolution-making” type or not, we’d all like to experience some sort of positive change in our lives. The story of God offers us a path toward not just “positive” change but the deep transformation we long for. But this requires a good deal of work on our part. Our lives are like icebergs. On average, only 10 percent of an iceberg’s volume is visible above the surface while 90 percent is submerged beneath the water. So we have to begin by asking the question, “What’s beneath the waterline, out of sight, in my life?” Which gets us into the difficult topic of mental and emotional health. Fortunately, Jesus himself embodies mental and emotional struggle—things like depression, anxiety, and anguish. And with Jesus as our guide, we too must become aware of and honest about our mental and emotional struggles, and begin there when necessary, so that God might guide us through.
