Characteristics of a Sound Mind
Looking at the Ways We Think
November 1, 2023 • Pastor Bruce • Romans 12:1–2
There are certain ways that each of us thinks. The ways that we think are like patterns or roads of thought that we travel down without realizing whether they are good or bad and where they will ultimately lead us. We need to take a look at the way we think...
The Fixed and Focused Mind
October 18, 2023 • Pastor Sheila • Isaiah 26:3
One characteristic of a sound mind is to be fixed and focused on the Lord. It takes work and practice but we can trust in Him so that our mind stays fixed on Him. Dig into Isaiah 26:3 and find out how it is done and the benefits of a fixed and focused mind.
Temperance: Self-Control
September 27, 2023 • Pastor Bruce • 1 Timothy 1:7
God has given us a mind that can be well trained and disciplined. One that operates within the limits of His will and is not extreme or excessive. Becoming skillful at controlling our mind begins with meditating the word of God and training ourselves to think like Him. Training ourselves requires time, attention and obeying on command. (In many ways like we train a new pet dog)
Exercising Peace of Mind
September 20, 2023 • Pastor Sheila
Peace of mind is becoming more and more valuable in the days that we are living in. With the increase of stress and pressure, we must exercise self-control and take hold of the peace of God. Jesus gave us His peace, so we should walk in it and apply it every minute of every day.
God Has Given Us
September 13, 2023 • Pastor Bruce • 2 Timothy 1:7
God has given us a spirit of a "sound mind". What exactly does that mean? And just because God has given it to us does that mean that we don't need to do a thing to possess and maintain our "sound mind"? Our mind is part of our soul and whatever (or whoever) controls our mind controls us. We must learn to live free from fear and all influence of the enemy. And this begins with taking control of our mind.
