Valuing Your Soul, Part 1

Open the Bible UK Broadcast

Welcome to Open The Bible with Pastor Colin Smith. Today we're diving into a fascinating topic: our souls. In today's discussion, we'll explore what the soul truly is, why it is of supreme value, and how to care for it. Pastor Colin will lead us through various Scriptures, starting with Mark 8, to understand more about the eternal nature of our souls.

Pastor Colin shares a delightful way he taught his children about the soul: "I have a soul, it's inside me, I cannot see it, it lasts forever." This simple yet profound statement reminds us that our soul, unlike the body, is eternal and immensely valuable.

Are you unclear about what a soul is? Is it even a term we hear in everyday conversations anymore? In our secular world, we've moved away from spiritual language, but the Bible brings it back into focus. C.S. Lewis once wisely said, "You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body." This highlights that your soul is at the core of your being and is indispensable to your identity.

As we begin our new series titled "Soul Care," today's message is aptly named "Valuing Your Soul." Pastor Colin will help us understand the importance of caring for our souls by exploring why it's of such great value, how it can be lost, and how it can be saved. He'll guide us through powerful teachings of Jesus, who spoke about saving and losing one's soul, emphasizing its eternal significance and the need for proper spiritual care.
