    I believe and I want you to believe that YHWH God provides the strength and guidance necessary to guard the heart. The blood of Jesus can guard our heart. The presence and filling of the Holy Spirit guards our heart.

    Relationships are very difficult with the pressure of today’s incredible pace of life. Jesus’ command is that we keep our relationships honest and loving.

    Seeking Clear Hearts December 26, 2004 would like to invite you to look at the chart which was handed out. It is rather simple, but helps us all understand how God would have us treat each other when disagreements arise. Please note, I did not say “if” disagreements arise, but “when”. In ...read more

    Salvation, sanctification, and service are all a matter of the heart

    IT’S A MATTER OF THE HEART PROVERBS 4:23 Introduction: The Bible tells us that the heart is the seat of all actions of life.

    Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

    In 1934 America was in a depression that many of you lived through first hand. The stock market had crashed in 1929 and millions of workers were jobless. Creativity took over as industrious citizens tried to find ways to feed themselves and their families. There was a rather creative fellow from ...read more

    Is your heart and life being directed by the Lord, or are you the director? Do you care about others who still need to hear the good news about Jesus? Paul addresses these issues with encouraging words.

    The God-Directed Heart 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. 2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will ...read more

    Blessed Are The Pure In Heart

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 10, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,058 views

    For the Christian, purity ought to be more precious than life, for without purity we can never really have life. If we are going to enjoy the blessings of God in this life and in the one to come, possessing a pure heart is not an optional quality.

    BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART Study Text: Matthew 5: 8 Introduction: - The heart is used metaphorically to signify the inner person – the heart is the control centre of a man’s mind, emotions and will. It is our invisible innermost being which shapes our lives, attitudes, convictions, ...read more

    King Solomon gathered his sons to give them life-giving advice. What did he tell them and how can we use that same advice today? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    Read Passage. Pray. I’m part of a group of preachers who meet weekly for lunch, to discuss life, and to plan sermons.

    Overcoming sin in my life is more a matter of heart work than hard work

    This morning we’ll wrap up our sermon series on the hard sayings of Jesus. Obviously in 8 weeks we haven’t covered all the hard things Jesus said, but I think we have looked at enough of what Jesus said to get a pretty good feel for why much of what He taught was so hard to understand ...read more

    Because God has made us righteous in Christ, He expects us to live righteously or with right behavior. Such behavior is the outward manifestation of the inward transformation, & the only sure proof that such inner transformation has taken place.

    Matters of the Heart Series COLOSSIANS 3: 12-17 “A HEART FULL OF GRACE” In our text the Bible describes what God expects of the believer in response to what He has done for us by His Amazing Grace. Because God has made us righteous in Christ, He expects us to live righteously or with right ...read more

    The classic painting and the familiar verse can teach us much about an intimate relationship with Christ. Our verse offers Christ’s solution to a church that has everything except what matters.

    Dr. Roger W. Thomas, Preaching Minister First Christian Church, Vandalia, MO Christ at Heart’s Door Revelation 3:20 (Projection of the classic painting illustrates the message.) Here I am!

    On the day that we stand and give an account of ourselves, our hearts will reveal whether we were true blue or not.

    THE HEART TELLS NO LIES! TEXT Jer 17:9-10 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it ? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. KJV Jer 17:9-10 9 ...read more

    Blessed Are The Pure In Heart Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 27, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,075 views

    God is concerned with the condition of our heart. We are to seek purity of heart in two ways: (1) be right, and (2) be true. Our words and deeds must be in sync with our heart.

    Noticed Jesus did not say “Blessed are the pure…” which is correct too. • But He said, “Blessed are the pure IN HEART.” The emphasis is right. • Man concerns the outward – we want to look good, to make an impression. • We need to place more emphasis on what is unseen – the attitudes of our ...read more

     | 4,688 views

    The only fulfilment in life is to hunger and thirst for God and the things of God. Nothing else in this world can bring true happiness and lasting blessings.

    The purpose of the Sermon on the Mount is to inform God’s disciples of the qualities they are to possess and display to a watching world. So far we’ve come to see that a blessed Christian is someone who is: “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” • Blessed are ...read more
