Talk 1: Why Fuss About Health?
Welcome to our brand new series, WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, Loving God with a Healthy Body.
Our series title is taken from the Shema, the greatest commandment of Jesus: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:30 NIV)
For the next five weeks, we’re going to talk about your health, but not just for the usual reasons gurus talk about—to have a better physique, sharper cognitive functions, more independence as you get older, etc.
You want to be healthy because of one glorious reason: You want to love God with all of your strength.
Talk 1 answers the question: Why Fuss about Health?
The key message: You have a roommate.
Talk 2: Sleep Is an Act of Worship
Talk 1 of this series answered the question Why Fuss about Health?– and inspired us to focus on watching our diet, walk, etc.
Talk 2 is telling us to sleep. Sleep is the foundation of our physical health. But as the title of Talk 2 indicates, sleep is also important for the soul. Because sleep will teach you to deepen your trust in God– by trusting that He watches you even when you’re sleeping.
The key message of Talk 2: Trust your Watchman.
