Spiritual Fitness ‘08

posted in Sermons |

Many of us make New Year’s resolutions.   (And most of the people who don’t…most likely  used to, but don’t anymore because they could never keep them…or never bothered because they never new anybody who kept theirs!)

Did you make any this year?   What were yours?   Most of us will make various resolutions that have something to do with different areas of their life…family, faith, finances, and the most popular category…FITNESS!

If you go into your local gym in January it will be packed.   But, by February it will be much less crowded.    That’s because we all decide to lose those extra pounds we gained during the holidays (beginning with the candy that we helped our kids eat after Halloween), so we make a New Year’s resolution to eat better and get more exercise.   We all do it, but most of us aren’t disciplined enough to stick with it past 2 or 3 weeks…

In this message Pastor Joe shows us that just as our physical body needs a fitness program, our spiritual being needs one too.   In fact, the Apostle Paul says that even though a physical workout is important to keep us fit and healthy, a spiritual workout is far more important, much longer lasting and highly valuable to every area of our lives…but I’m getting ahead of myself.

Go ahead and check out the message to hear for yourself!   Don’t wait to get started on a simple, yet effective program that can change you…and everyone around you!
