Jesus and Mental Illness 

There are many popular ideas which plague our species in this day and age. The focus on celebrities, attitudes toward war, beliefs that one race is better than others Are just a few. 

Oh how our lives would be better if we could reject such wrong ideas.

We keep hearing that mental illness is increasing since the pandemic. So we need to hear the words of Jesus correcting popular misconceptions about mental illness.  Some of those popular misconceptions that need to be corrected are:

1. The idea that mental illness is a pejorative term.
2. The idea that mental illness should be hidden.
3.  The idea that mental illness should be thrown in with criminality.
4. The idea that mental illness cannot be treated.
 
I could go on and on. But this weekend we are going to look at Jesus view of mental illness. This study will strengthen your and your families mental health.  Join us Sunday morning at 10:30 an.

Your friend for the rest of my life,
Pastor Tim White
