Mental Wholeness

The emotional restoration that God can bring

April 28, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Job 42:10–12

Did you know God wants people to not only be whole physically, but also mentally and emotionally? In the book of Job, we read about a man who went through a very difficult period in his life. He lost all of his children, his wife, all of his possessions, and every last thing he considered important. The book of Job is essentially him processing all of this. And yet we see at the end, Job is in better condition in ever, God having restored all these things to him, eventually dying an old man full of days. Job was blessed in the latter end of his life and was able to look beyond what he had suffered. I believe that God can bring this same mental restoration to us for whatever we have experienced.

How God Judges

May 15, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Luke 19:22

I'm going to continue my message from several weeks ago which focused on why our words matter. Even if we are taking care to not speak profanity or unwholesome talk, there is still attention that should be paid to the words we are speaking in terms of what we are speaking over ourselves. The Bible states that God will judge us on terms of the words we have said. If we have spoken life or death, those will judge us.

The Wise Woman

May 12, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Proverbs 31:10–31

I am grateful for the role that women have had in church history and that they continue to have. The first person to accept Christ in the continent of Europe that we know of was a woman named Lydia, and the gospels also describe a number of women who ministered to the Lord. Proverbs 31 describes several criteria of what makes such a "wise" woman who is in tune with spiritual principles and not wasteful, lazy, or vain. Such a "Proverbs 31 woman" makes for an excellent companion and spiritual influence.

A Great Marriage

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Matthew 19

What makes for a great marriage? God puts a priority on marriage, in fact, it was his idea. A good marriage does not only benefit itself -- it will benefit your career, mental health, and almost every other area you can imagine. People can develop an erroneous idea that they can compartmentalize their marriage, but it affects every part of your life, serving as part of your spiritual core. I'd like to explore what Scripture has to say about this subject and hopefully bring some enrichment to your current or future marriage.
