September 29, 2019 Sunday Worship Service

Summary:

When we guard our hearts, we are protecting our very lives- every aspect of ourselves from our beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, and actions. We are choosing to be good stewards of our one and only life to the glory of God.

Guarding Our Hearts

​​​​​​​This Sunday, September 29, we will continue with the sermon series “Character Under Construction.” Just as the main New Hope campus has been a construction zone for over a year now you and I remain “under construction” as God seeks to form our character in His image. Last week we focused on “Guarding Our Minds," because it all begins with the way we think about ourselves, others, the world around us, and God…and what God thinks about us!

This Sunday we’ll look at “Guarding Our Hearts” as outlined in Proverbs 4:20–23: “My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words. Don’t lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” When we guard our hearts, we are protecting our very lives- every aspect of ourselves from our beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, and actions. We are choosing to be good stewards of our one and only life to the glory of God.
