Morning Message #1
Morning Message #1
Joy's first message is about the identity that we have in Jesus through the message of the Gospel. Using Psalm 139 from the morning meditation and introducing 1 Corinthians 12:15-20, she encourages students to "take up space" in the world and to take responsibility for their physical bodies.
Time to reflect
Time to reflect
Go out on a walk or jog and think about these three questions from Joy's message:
What am I doing well for myself right now?
Where do I need to grow?
What can I do to get that positive change started?
