Psalms 69:12, 26

In today’s world, we are on the brink of a mental health epidemic that estimates that 1 in 4 adults suffer from a diagnosable mental illness. Mental illness reaches across all boundary lines as depression and anxiety impact the church-goer just as much as those who don’t. So, what do we do with this? Join us for a 3-day journey through the Psalms as we discuss mental health.

In 100 carefully selected passages from the Bible, you will discover who Jesus is and why he is so significant – even life-transforming. Through both Old and New Testament readings, you will discover why God sent Jesus, what Jesus taught, how he treated people, why he did miracles, the meaning of his death, the significance of his resurrection, and what the Bible says about his second coming.

In Part 1, we will be looking at how the Father prepared his Son to be the greatest leader who ever lived on Earth. The Father will spend the first thirty years of Jesus’ life preparing him to be the leader and shepherd of his people. Come and take a look at the God who was willing to become a man. Fall in love with a God who is so in love with you that he would do whatever it takes to bring you into a personal relationship with him — even becoming a man himself.
