Morning Sermon - 15th June 2025 - A biblical prescription for healthy living

Episode description

This morning's sermon is delivered by Rev. George Speers.

Preaching from Proverbs 4:20-22, the Reverend George Speers sets out what he calls a 'scriptural health service' — six biblical principles for healthy living, from work and rest patterns to lifestyle, relationships, emotions, the soul and death. Drawing on Proverbs, the Gospels and medical and historical illustrations (including John D. Rockefeller and a missionary's encounter with Japanese customs officials), Rev Speers argues that many of society's health crises are rooted in moral and spiritual causes, and that true healing is found only in a restored relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
