Inside Out - Foundations

In this powerful message, we're reminded of our divine origin and purpose. The scripture from Genesis emphasizes that we are created in God's image - not physically, but in the image of love. This fundamental truth shapes our identity and calls us to both receive and exude love. However, we're also confronted with the reality of living in an imperfect world, as reflected in Ecclesiastes. The message tackles the critical issue of mental health, challenging us to create safe spaces for sharing emotions and supporting one another. We're encouraged to understand that faith and mental health challenges can coexist, and that seeking professional help is not a sign of weak faith. The staggering statistics on mental illness serve as a wake-up call, urging us to be present, listen without judgment, and offer comfort to those struggling. Ultimately, we're reminded of Jesus' invitation to find rest in Him and the assurance that it's okay not to be okay. This message calls us to embrace our worth as God's masterpieces and to actively participate in bringing hope and healing to our communities.
