Check up from the neck up wk #4

Jul 27, 2025    Pastor Tony Nolan

In this final installment of Check Up from the Neck Up—An Uplifting Series for the Downcast Soul, Pastor Tony unpacks the last two divine defenses against discouragement found in Philippians 4:8: virtue and praiseworthiness. With powerful imagery, rich biblical insights, and unforgettable stories—like the dramatic pub performances of C.S. Lewis and Tolkien, and Michelangelo’s battle to complete the Sistine Chapel—this message calls believers to fix their minds on what’s excellent, life-giving, and honoring to God. If you've ever felt under siege by negative thoughts or heavy discouragement, this message will equip you with a renewed mental strategy. Learn how to feast on thoughts that benefit your soul and fuel your faith—because when your thoughts bless God, Heaven responds with a shout: “Ep-ah-nos!” Praiseworthy!”
