Becoming More Responsible with My Resources Series - Pt. 1 Responsible Health

Feb 2, 2025    Pastor Arthur J. James

In this week’s message, we're challenged to view our health as a vital spiritual resource. The central theme revolves around 3 John 1:2, where the apostle John wishes for Gaius to prosper and be in good health. This scripture reminds us that our physical well-being is intertwined with our spiritual journey. We're encouraged to see our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, as emphasized in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. This perspective shifts how we approach our diet, exercise, and rest. The message draws interesting parallels between maintaining our physical 'house' and our spiritual life, urging us to be good stewards of both. We're reminded that neglecting our health can hinder our ability to fulfill God's purpose for our lives. This teaching is deeply relevant, prompting us to consider how our daily choices in nutrition, physical activity, and rest impact our capacity to serve God and others effectively. It's a call to action, inspiring us to honor God not just with our spirits, but with our bodies as well.
