1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Prayer Direction
Thank God for HIs amazing gift of life, His unique design and creation of your body, and His unfathomable love for you demonstrated through Jesus. Invite Him to show you any areas in your physical health that need special attention this year. Confess these areas to Him and ask Him for the strength and courage to take the necessary steps to change. Ask Him to show you new opportunities for spiritual growth in this new year.“Live It!” Challenge
Embracing the Beauty of Creation: This week, set aside at least one hour to spend walking outdoors on one of the 10 different hikes shared in today’s sermon. Spend time listening to God’s Word and singing some praise and worship music as you walk. At different points on the walk, pause and pray, thanking God for the gift of your body, the ability to walk/run, and the gift of His amazing creation, especially in the Monterey area. Bonus: Invite a friend/family member with you on your journey.Small Group Discussion
