HEME: WORK ON YOUR HEAD, YOUR MIND, YOUR HEART AND YOUR EMOTIONS
TOPIC: LEARNING AND TRAINING STARTED IN THE GARDEN
Main Texts: Gen 2:15–24; Matt 5:1–11
Introduction
Before man entered the school system, God established a place of learning and training in the Garden of Eden. God placed Adam in the garden and gave him responsibility, instruction, boundaries, and assignments.
(Gen 2:15) says that God put Adam in the garden “to dress it and to keep it.” God did not merely give Adam a place to live; He gave him something to learn, something to do, and instructions to follow.
This teaches us that learning and training are part of God's plan for human development.
Training develops what you do, while learning develops what you know, understand, believe and become.
Jesus also demonstrated this pattern. He gathered His disciples and the multitude on the mountain and taught them the principles of the Kingdom of God (Matth 5:1–11). He was training their minds, hearts, character and emotions so they could live differently.
1. WHAT IS TRAINING?
Training is the process of being taught and practiced so that you can perform a particular responsibility or develop a particular skill.
Training is usually:
Goal-focused — it prepares you for a particular task.
Instruction-based — someone teaches and guides you.
Practice-oriented — you must put what you learn into practice.
Discipline-based — you must follow instructions consistently.
Result-oriented — proper training produces better performance.
Adam was given an assignment: dress and keep the garden.
God was teaching Adam responsibility.
2. WHAT IS LEARNING?
Learning is the process of gaining knowledge, understanding, wisdom and experience.
Learning is:
Lifelong — you never stop learning.
Broad — you learn about God, people, life, relationships and your purpose.
Personal
You must be willing to receive and apply what you learn.
Growth-producing — learning produces understanding and maturity.
You can be trained for a job, but learning

1. WHAT YOU PUT IN CAN COME OUT
There is a connection between what we receive, what we think, what we desire, and what we eventually do.
Input → Thought → Desire → Decision → Action → Consequence, can be good or bad, sweet or bitter
That is why we must guard our spiritual and mental environment.
If you continually put God's Word into your life, it can shape your thinking and conduct ( Psa 119 :9--15, Acts 20: 32, Heb 4:12).
If you continually expose yourself to ungodly influences, they can also shape your thinking and behavior.

WORK ON YOUR HEART
In Scripture, the heart often refers to the inner person—the center of one's desires, motives, thoughts, intentions, and moral decisions.
Jesus said:
Matt 15:19–20 — evil thoughts and other sinful actions come from within the heart.
Therefore, the problem is not only what happens around us; we must also examine what is happening inside us.
A person can have a good appearance while carrying bitterness, hatred, pride, lust, unforgiveness, jealousy, or evil desires in the heart.
Prov 4:23, Jere 17;9. Guard your heart because the issues of life flow from it.
WORK ON YOUR EMOTIONS
Emotions are real, but emotions should not become the master of our lives.
We experience:
Joy
Anger
Fear
Sadness
Love
Disappointment
Excitement
The problem is not having emotions. The danger is allowing uncontrolled emotions to control our decisions.
Eph 4:26: “Be ye angry, and sin not.”
This shows that even anger must come under spiritual discipline.
Gala 5:22–23 teaches that the fruit of the Spirit includes self-control.
Therefore, maturity is not the absence of emotions; it is learning to bring our emotions under the control of God's Spirit and His Word.

THEME: WORK ON YOUR HEAD, YOUR MIND, HEART AND YOUR EMOTIONS Text: Rom 12:1–3; 2 Tim 2:15
INTRODUCTION:- WHAT DOES “WORK” MEAN?
Work is physical or mental effort applied to accomplish a task or produce a result.
Spiritually, working on yourself means deliberately training and disciplining your life so that your thoughts, desires, emotions, words, and actions come under God's will.
1ThesS 4:11 teaches us to live quietly, mind our own affairs, and work with our hands.
Key thought:
You cannot expect a transformed life if you refuse to work on your inner life.
UNDERSTANDING THE HUMAN HEAD
The head is the upper part of the body, located above the neck. It contains and protects the brain.
The brain receives, processes, stores, and communicates information that helps control the body.
The head is therefore extremely important to human functioning. What enters through our senseswhat we see, hear, smell, taste, and touch—can influence our thoughts and behavior.
That is why we must be careful about the information we continually feed ourselves.
ProV 4:23 says: “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
