MENTAL HEALTH

“Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.” Romans 12:2

BIG IDEA: WHY I NEED TO MANAGE MY MIND.

Because my thoughts control my mental health.

Because my mind is where the battle for sin takes place.
“I love to do God’s will so far as my new nature is concerned; but there’s something else deep within me that is at war with my mind and wins the fight and makes me a slave to the sin within me. In my mind I want to be God’s servant, but instead I find myself still enslaved to sin.” Romans 7:22, 23

Because my mind is the seat of peace and happiness.
“If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death. But if the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace.” Romans 8:6

THREE EVERYDAY CHOICES FOR A HEALTHY MIND

FEED ON GOD’S WORD EVERYDAY
“People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every Word of God.” Matthew 4:4b

FREE YOUR MIND FROM DESTRUCTIVE THOUGHTS.
“Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.” Romans 8:5

FOCUS MY MIND ON THE RIGHT THINGS
Jesus
Others
Eternity

“Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth.” Colossians 3:2

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9b
