Christmas Rethink
Nov. - Dec. 2021
Rethink Thinking
November 28, 2021 • Paul A. Berthiaume
Christmas is a season where mental health is under serious pressure. As part of our emphasis on developing an inner life we have put major emphasis on creating a love relationship with the Triune God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is a call to develop spiritual practices and habits that allow us to interact and connect with God. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures we will learn to pay attention to what is going on inside our hearts, minds and souls. We'll do this by paying attention to what we are feeling and what we are thinking. In this series leading up to Christmas we are calling on the church body to pay attention to what and how we are thinking. We will be challenged to evaluate what we are putting into our minds We will be challenged to identify patterns of thought that are moving us toward either being mentally unhealthy, or healthy. We will discuss how to challenge narratives we create in our heads. We will see that we have the power to control our thought life by taking thoughts captive and making them obedient to Christ. We will celebrate Christmas by discovering real meaning, through Christ.
