Essentials: Fitness - Week 2
Patrick Lightfoot - Lead Pastor
"Food is our common ground, a universal experience" - James Beard
1 Timothy 4:1-4 Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead. They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten with thanks by faithful people who know the truth. Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks.
Colossians 3:16-17 Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
"Food is God’s love made nutritious and delicious, and eating is the daily reminder that life comes to us as a gift.”
Purposes Of Food:
- Biological
- Social
- God's Generosity
