Synopsis

Many diet experts agree that developing self-control is a key part of weight loss and weight management. But the Bible says that believers develop self-control only when Christ is at the center of their lives. The secret to self-control is giving up control to God! Through this new 12-week bible study, First Place 4 Health members will learn how to let go of their frantic need to control heir circumstances, which often leads to stress induced, out of control eating. They will also take positive steps toward letting God take over the management of their mind, emotions, body and spirit. As Christ moves into first place, life moves into balance.

The Most Complete Christ-Centered Healthy Living Program Used Successfullly by More Than Half a Million People

Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33

Giving Christ Control, a new Bible study created for First Place 4 Health, explores what it means to yield our lives to Christ. Living a balanced life is in many was paradoxical. On the one hand we want to exhibit good self-control, but on the other we have to recognize that much of what happens in life is beyond our control. The idea of giving control up to anyone -- even God-- can seem counterintuitive at first, but allowing Christ to direct our lives never means that we will beout of control. God is good and has our best interests at heart, and the truth is that it is only when we yield our lives to Him that we are released from the things that hold us back and can experience true freedom.Giving Christ Control will show you how!
